Chapter 393: Uncle’s Thoughts

Fang Bin caught up and walked side by side with Fang Mingyuan.

"Brother-in-law, don't you discuss the Gulf War with my father and the others?" Fang Mingyuan asked strangely.

"There's nothing to discuss!" Fang Bin waved his hand and said, "We can't come up with anything new. If I really care about this war, I won't be in a hurry to come back. I'll just stay in Hong Kong and watch TVB or ATV. It's comparable to

Our TV station’s reports are more detailed and more interesting!”

Fang Mingyuan nodded. Fang Bin's statement, even two thousand years later, is widely recognized by many people in China. Compared with the "unobtrusive" Hong Kong TV, these news programs of China TV are indeed

There is not enough depth. No wonder Fang Bin, whose horizons have been raised by Hong Kong TV, doesn't like it.

"You really don't know how backward our country is. The development of the TV station industry in a small Hong Kong exceeds that of our province. This is really comparing people to each other and it's so irritating!" Fang Bin shook his head repeatedly.

"Yes, compared with other countries in the world, China has lagged far behind!" Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, Mingyuan, I plan to go to Hollywood in the United States within the Chinese New Year. Can you help me contact Director Cameron and Kingfisher Film Company? I want to see the studios in Hollywood." Fang Bin changed the topic.

.

"Hollywood studio? What are you watching?" Fang Mingyuan was a little surprised, why did Fang Bin suddenly think of this.

"Look at how Hollywood builds movie studios. Mr. Yu and I both feel that compared to Hollywood, today's Hong Kong movies are too rudimentary in terms of studio setup. Although there are good actors, good

plot, but these two items are not enough to make a good movie. Don’t you think that compared with American movies, the backgrounds of Hong Kong movies sometimes seem too fake? Even Americans ten years ago

None of his works are as good as that." Fang Bin said seriously.

Fang Mingyuan grinned. Hong Kong movies are popular in low-cost small productions. If you want to have realistic backgrounds, you have to have a budget. But Fang Bin wants to go to Hollywood. It's not a bad thing. He has read thousands of books.

On the road of thousands of miles, only by broadening your horizons can you achieve great development. Kumho Film has already made a good start. Since Yu Qiuxia and Fang Bin are determined to continue to develop and expand it, Fang Mingyuan naturally has no reason to stand in the way.

.

Moreover, Fang Mingyuan still remembers that in his previous life, when several big names in the Hong Kong film industry, represented by Cheng Long, left Hong Kong and entered Hollywood, Hong Kong films declined. Except for one "Infernal Affairs", he really remembered

I can't think of any other movie that can get unanimous praise from everyone. In the end, it was reduced to relying on the 3D version of "***" to save the market, which is really disappointing.

If the Hong Kong film industry can realize the future development direction of world movies from now on and strive to catch up with the gap with Hollywood in the United States, it may be able to rise from the ashes in the future! Compared with letting the Hollywood of the United States dominate and monopolize the world film market,

In the future of unscrupulously exporting American culture to the outside world, such results will naturally satisfy Fang Mingyuan. What's more, the film industry is also a smoke-free industry, and the related industries it can drive, its output value and the number of employed people it absorbs are also extremely impressive.

number.

"No problem. I'll say hello to the Americans later. With Cameron as my guide, I believe most studios in Hollywood will open their doors to you." Fang Mingyuan happily agreed.

"Mingyuan, I have an idea and want to hear your opinion." Fang Bin said hesitantly, "You said that we should build a location base specifically for filmmakers and TV people to shoot movies and TV shows in China.

No future for development?”

"Ah?" Fang Mingyuan stopped in astonishment. Five big words popped up in his mind - Hengdian Cinema City! Could it be that my uncle also wanted to revise history?

"This is what I think. If studios are built according to Hollywood standards in the future, the cost of the studio will be very high. If you build a studio for one movie and then dismantle it after the filming, I am afraid that even Hong Kong filmmakers cannot afford this.

The high cost is naturally not to mention in the domestic film industry. If..." Fang Bin thought about it for a moment, then continued, "We can preserve all these outdoor scenes like Suzhou Street in the Summer Palace.

Then if someone shoots a movie or TV series with a similar background in the future, there is no need to build it again. In this case, the cost will not be too high. We can build a Hong Kong street first, so that we can attract

When Hong Kong filmmakers come to the mainland to shoot, on the one hand, they can increase the mainland's income, and on the other hand, they can reduce the expenditure of investors. Wouldn't everyone be happy?"

Fang Mingyuan was so surprised that he couldn't speak. He didn't expect that his uncle would actually think of building a film and television base!

Hengdian Movie City in the previous life was the largest film and television shooting base in China, including Hong Kong Street, Ming and Qing Palaces, Qin Palace, Qingming River Scene, Dream Valley, Pingyan Cave, Dazhi Temple, Ming and Qing Residential Expo City, etc.

Several film and television shooting bases spanning thousands of years of history and time, bringing together the regional characteristics of the north and south, and two super-large modern studios. It has become the film and television shooting base with the most shooting scenes, the most complete supporting facilities, and the largest historical span in China.

The grand scale of the base and the rich shooting scenes have attracted domestic and foreign film and television directors to lead their crews to Hengdian for filming. There are many well-known directors and influential blockbusters among them.

It is said that by around 2010, the operating income of Hengdian Cinema City was close to 1.5 billion yuan, and the tax alone paid more than 100 million yuan. It provided thousands of local jobs and had a huge impact in the country.

The rise of the film and television industry has also promoted the development of leisure tourism in Hengdian. It has developed a small southern town into a bustling market, Piaotian Literature Bar, bars, teahouses abound, snacks, restaurants with both north and south flavors, and high-end hotels

, hotels, amusement parks, nightclubs, sauna centers, performing arts centers, fitness centers, bowling alleys and other high-end tourist areas with complete facilities.

The future prospects are immeasurable!

Fang Bin looked at Fang Mingyuan, who was in a daze but remained noncommittal, and his heart was beating. Although he came up with this idea and discussed it with Yu Qiuxia, Yu Qiuxia also felt that this matter had great potential, and for Kumho Movies

It can play an important role in promoting the company's future development. But if his nephew doesn't nod, Fang Bin always feels a little unsure!

He and Yu Qiuxia calculated that such a film and television shooting base can only be placed in China, and the initial investment is huge. It is estimated that at least the first phase investment will be hundreds of millions of yuan. If it is necessary to have a complete set of buildings from multiple dynasties, so

The funds required are even more terrifying. If such a large investment is misjudged and is wasted, what should we do?

That's why he came to ask Fang Mingyuan for advice in person. As long as Fang Mingyuan nodded, he would devote himself to this work wholeheartedly! If Fang Mingyuan objected, he would give up the idea.

"Uncle, have you decided where to place the base?" Fang Mingyuan asked slowly.

Fang Bin felt excited. It seems there is a way! "Didn't Sister Yu say that you want to buy a large piece of land in Yazhou City, Qionghai Province? What do you think about putting it in Yazhou City, Qionghai Province?"

"Yazhou?" Fang Mingyuan raised his eyebrows and pondered for a while before saying, "I'm afraid Yazhou is not suitable. If you just plan to build a building complex with Hong Kong or Yangcheng as the background in the future, then there is no problem.

But if you plan to build one from other eras, the natural environment in Yazhou is not suitable. I think you can find a place in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin, which has the characteristics of both northern and southern China."

"Lower Yangtze River?" Fang Bin repeated, somewhat confused.

"Well, in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River... there is a town called Hengdian in Zhejiang Province. It is very close to several major cities in the surrounding areas. It only takes a few hours by car. I think it should be a suitable location for this film and television shooting base."

Fang Mingyuan decided to respect history at this point. The success of the Hengdian Film and Television Shooting Base in the previous life must be due to its unique conditions. Since he knew that it was suitable for building a film and television shooting base, why should he let his uncle bother again?

Searching all over the world.

"Hengdian? Zhejiang Province? Hengdian, Zhejiang Province!" Fang Bin repeated it twice, memorizing the place name firmly.

Fang Mingyuan was so sure and conclusive that Fang Bin naturally did not dare to be careless. However, a thought could not help but arise in his heart, "Could it be said that Mingyuan had already had this idea and even chosen the location?"

"

"What are you going to do, Sister Qiu Xia? Should you invest in the name of the company, or start a new company and set up another company to take charge of this business?" Fang Mingyuan asked smoothly.

"Sister Yu means that she has no objection, let us do whatever we want." Fang Bin waved his hands and said, "There is no problem even if we invest alone. If it is a joint venture, the Guo family can contribute 40%."

"Then invest in the name of Kumho Company and avoid dividing the shares. Uncle, since you proposed this idea, you have to be responsible for it. I don't think money is a problem. If the company is short of funds,

I can transfer it first..."

"No, no, no! Kumho now has abundant funds on hand, and the start-up capital is completely sufficient." Fang Bin waved his hands repeatedly. In the past year, Kumho Company co-produced six movies, all of which were hits, and in a short period of time

Since there are no new movies to film, RMB 100 million is still available. When the money is used up, new profits will naturally enter the company's account.
