Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Chairman Han was definitely not shouting this to Shen Zhenghui on his own behalf. There were naturally other leaders behind him.  Of course, his views will naturally affect the leader's judgment.  Since CCTV News has helped Shen Zhenghui do some kind of propaganda, it is natural for the leaders to understand the details, including whether the two hundred million US dollars are real and what the composition is. The leaders can also see it.  Very professional report.  Even how "Magic Apprentice" will be filmed will be analyzed by professionals and reported to the leaders.  Obviously, this is a big production, and it has traveled to four countries. Just by reading the descriptions of several countries in the novel, you can tell how spectacular the scene will be if shot in real life. Even with the use of stunt shooting, special effects synthesis and other technologies, in reality  The scenery is not careless, not to mention that the sufficient budget of 200 million US dollars allows almost everyone to know that wherever this movie is shot, it will greatly boost the local GDP, not to mention that the scenery may be reused.  It can be converted into a film and television city and attractions in the future.  So Chairman Han made the call himself.  It is easy to understand that Sony and Columbia staff did not include China as a possible filming location from the beginning. They wanted to find a Caucasian country, which would be very difficult for actor recruitment or other matters.  It¡¯s easy to do. Even Shen Zhenghui didn¡¯t realize that China was a location that could be considered at the beginning, because he also envisioned New Zealand at the beginning. After all, Peter Jackson set a successful example there, and Cameron also filmed Avatar there in the future.  .  But at this time, Chairman Han's call suddenly opened up a new idea for Shen Zhenghui. Although China has various unfavorable conditions, it also has many favorable conditions: The first one is the relationship. With the establishment of relations with Chinese officialdom,  Secondly, construction materials and labor are cheap, especially since Wang Anping specializes in real estate.  It is not a problem at all to recruit a team to make movie sets; thirdly, the filming cost is cheap. In the future, the United States will criticize China for artificially lowering the exchange rate. Therefore, if the US dollars are converted into RMB and then consumed in China, it will be enough for the crew to save money.  The disadvantage is that it is a very troublesome project to recruit many actors and send them to China, and managing the crew in China is also a big problem. At least they cannot let these guys smoke marijuana or the like.  But if you realize that shooting in China can save money than shooting in New Zealand or other places.  Shen Zhenghui had enough motivation and power to promote such a plan. He almost immediately took Chairman Han's call seriously. He took a pen and recorded the preferential conditions while talking to Chairman Han.  , and even told Chairman Han directly about the preferential conditions obtained elsewhere without any care, and then asked, "The mainland can give me a tax refund and ensure the convenience of my actors' entry and exit. It has provided good shooting locations and allowed us to  Construction?" He put forward a series of questions and conditions, which actually made Chairman Han on the other end of the phone faint. In the end, both of them were holding pens on the other end of the phone to record the key points of what the other party said.  "How about this," Shen Zhenghui said, "I'll ask people from Sony and Colombia to come to Pingjing to meet Chairman Han and talk to you in detail?"  What's the point of talking to me about this?  Chairman Han almost wanted to throw down the phone, but he thought of the leader's concern and the temptation of the $200 million.  He still held back and said, "Well, let me report to the leader. It is best for the official leader to come forward and give you a clear answer for this job. Of course, I suggest that it should not be done just by people from Sony and Columbia. You  It's better to come in person." "Should I come in person?" Shen Zhenghui hesitated, "I am the director, too!" Chairman Han said, "If you are not involved in this matter,  Do you think the leader will care? So it¡¯s better for you to come in person.¡± Shen Zhenghui thought about it and felt that the meaning of going in person was indeed different.  So he nodded and agreed, but before that he still gave Chairman Han a vaccination, "But the main investments in this film are Sony and Columbia. I don't have much say in my personal voice. I can give them this suggestion, but  The final decision is made by foreigners. Chairman Han naturally understood this.  After putting down the phone, Shen Zhenghui immediately started making frantic calls again. He first communicated the matter with Fukuda Mitsumi. First, he needed to gain her support. Fukuda Mitsumi seemed indifferent to this issue and just asked lightly.  He asked, "Can China find a suitable place?" "Of course," Shen Zhenghui replied, "For example, places like the northwest and northeast are vast and sparsely populated, and large-scale construction can be done by dividing wasteland at will, such as grasslands, wasteland, mountains, etc.  Various terrainsIt has everything, the key is that it will be very cheap in terms of construction and manpower.  " "What about the land use fees?  Mitsumi Fukuda asked the key question, "How are they going to calculate the land price?"  " "I guess they won't charge us any money," Shen Zhenghui replied, "We can just leave the buildings on the ground to them.  " "That's not possible," Mitsumi Fukuda said immediately. She immediately thought of a condition and said, "We can invest in jointly with the local government or enterprises to develop a film and television or tourism development. If we want to shoot a sequel,  Or this place can be reused as a film and television shooting base. What do you think?  "    "very good!  Shen Zhenghui was a little confused and said, "Your reaction is quite quick."  " "This is also a good opportunity to enter the mainland market," Mitsumi Fukuda continued, "Why don't you ask Wang Anping. I think this is a good investment, and then the crew will rent the filming location from the film and television base during the filming.  , as long as the price is cheaper than other countries in New Zealand, Sony and Colombia won't care, and we can get another established industry.  You should call Wang Anping as soon as possible. She is very experienced in real estate.  " I am also familiar with how to do real estate. Shen Zhenghui thought to himself that he even thought that he could directly use this project to obtain a mortgage loan from the bank. He would not have to fund the construction himself, but he would have a share of the built things. The local government must be satisfied that such a project can  It will drive up the price of land. They can also share the rent through this project. This is how Hengdian and Western Cinemas started. If the style of this movie was not Western-style, Shen Zhenghui would not even want to build it himself. He put down the phone.  After that, they did not call Wang Anping first, but first called the producers of Sony and Columbia. When the two producers heard the official news from China's largest film and television group, their first reaction was: true or false  But when it was confirmed that shooting in China could indeed save more money than in New Zealand, they became excited. Although there were many other things to consider, these two guys instinctively felt that this was a good thing.  "So they can agree to a tax refund?  " "I don't think it's a big problem. Even if there is no tax refund, the cost will definitely be much cheaper than in New Zealand.  " "But we have to take a lot of people.  " "But if it's New Zealand, we also have to take a lot of people with us. It's the same everywhere. New Zealand cannot provide us with too many actors, even extras.  " "We don't need to pay extra fees to set up scenes locally?  "This is what Mark Gordon cares about. "I don't think there is a problem.  It depends on what kind of agreement China reaches with us," Shen Zhenghui replied, "You have to know that the place where we set up the scene and shoot must be a sparsely populated place, and the local government will certainly welcome us to help them with construction, and will  There are many preferential conditions.  " This point seems to go without elaboration. Even though Mark Gordon and Thomas are professional filmmakers, they also know that China has sufficient preferential conditions for foreign investment. Otherwise, the world's capital will not rush to invest in China. " Call me  This is the CEO of China Film Group. I think you all know him.  Also know his identity and status.  "Shen Zhenghui said, "I think it is necessary for the three of us to go to China together, have a good talk with a big figure in the government, and reach an agreement. This will be beneficial to everyone.  ¡± As producers who work to save money and make the shooting go smoothly, it is acceptable for them to do more work. So the three people discussed a time to meet on the phone, and Mark Gordon and Thomas also  Busy with casting work, they will take time to come to Japan to meet with Shen Zhenghui as soon as possible, and by the way, they will bring some actors to Japan for training. The actors have not seen the complete story yet, so it is best to let them go.  They had a full understanding of the entire story, and the screenwriting team with the participation of the original author had to take on this responsibility. After putting down the phone, Shen Zhenghui called Wang Anping again. Shen Zhenghui was direct enough to Wang Anping, "Sister Wang,  Was it you who suggested to the higher-ups that I go to China to film?  " Wang Anping's tone is still a bit lazy. Shen Zhenghui has been busy all morning, but listening to Wang Anping's voice, it seems that she just got up, "What film are you shooting?  Aren't you preparing to film "The Magic Apprentice"?  I've seen the news. What movie are you going to shoot in China?  " Shen Zhenghui judged from Wang Anping's reaction that she didn't know, so it was necessary to introduce the whole thing in full. "Of course I came to China to film "The Magic Apprentice"," Shen Zhenghui replied, "Actually, this  This is a misunderstanding. As long as you can create a scene, you canIt¡¯s the same everywhere in the world.  " Shen Zhenghui could hear the earth-shattering voice on the other end of the phone. It seemed that Wang Anping had hit the door or the wall because she was too excited. Then she asked in an excited tone, "You mean you want to come to China to shoot, in China.  Building a film and television studio for "The Magic Apprentice"?  " "It's not as exaggerated as a film and television city, because this is the first film. If the effect is good and subsequent sequels continue to be filmed, then the entire film will probably be able to form a film and television city after the filming is completed.  "Shen Zhenghui replied. "Qian, why didn't you say something like this earlier?  Wang Anping shouted on the other end of the phone, "In this case, you tell me the location, and I will negotiate with the local government to form a film and television city company to be responsible for the management and subsequent operations of this film and television city. You must stand by me then."  Speak for me.  "Wang Anping's mind was spinning as fast as Fukuda Mitsumi, "We must hurry up on this. When the news spreads, there will be more people who want to intervene.  Send someone to choose a place immediately!  " "I don't have the final say on this alone," Shen Zhenghui was also a little anxious, "I only knew that the senior management had this plan when Chairman Han called me just now. I just had a phone call with people from Sony and Columbia.  We will visit China by then. Whether the negotiation can be concluded depends on the attitude of Sony and Colombia.  " "With your Mitsumi Fukuda here, how could Sony disapprove.  "Wang Anping's tone was much more domineering, "Let's send someone to see it first. It doesn't matter if the preparations are done in advance.  I estimate that you will choose places in the northeast and northwest. I will contact the local military first and ask them to do a preliminary screening.  That¡¯s it, hey, if it¡¯s not this kind of film, it would be good to just place it in Wuyue Province.  " Shen Zhenghui felt that the development of this matter was too weird. For just a moment, the control of the matter was no longer in his hands. He wanted to change the topic. So he asked tentatively, "How is An Ran doing now?  " "Not bad," Wang Anping's tone became more relaxed, "I was promoted to be a secretary to the leader. It is said that it is because I have unique ideas on economic development. Some time ago, Wuyue Province issued a ten-year plan, which included cultural industries and the Internet.  He is mainly responsible for the planning and formulation of this aspect of the enterprise.  Hearing Wang Anping's tone, she seemed a little pleased. "I still have to thank you for this."  " "I really need to thank you more.  "Shen Zhenghui said, "Although it seems like you still make more money from your real estate career.  But in another ten years, the capital you invest on the Internet will be enough for you to squander for several lifetimes.  " Wang Anping's tone became more relaxed, "That's why I want to thank you so much!  After a pause, she said again, "Let's do this."  I'm here to contact Futian Guangmei. The investment in the scenic film and television city is still relatively complicated. If necessary, I can only use your name. When the time comes, let your Hong Kong company come forward as a shareholder, and I can explain it to Futian Guangmei.  " Shen Zhenghui couldn't help but feel a little confused when he put down the phone. When did the relationship between Wang Anping and Fukuda Mitsumi become so good? Capitalist society is extremely sensitive to profits. After Shen Zhenghui conveyed the news to Sony and Columbia, they  The office in Pingjing began their own information gathering and public relations activities. Soon, they knew much more about the news than Shen Zhenghui. The cause of the incident was naturally a news report from CCTV, a supervisor.  Senior officials related to culture - people at the deputy minister level, after seeing the news and understanding the things behind the news, they naturally thought that since the screenwriter (original work) of this film is Chinese and the director is Chinese, then  Is it possible that the film was shot in China? Once he opened his mind, he could no longer think about it. Instead, he thought of a series of benefits: the most direct benefit is that a large part of the filming cost of the film will be consumed.  In China, this can effectively boost the local GDP. Even if the minister does not know the example of building a film and television city for filming movies, he still knows how a large crew can help the local economy; and then, one more thing, this is very  A big political achievement, even if the boss is changed now, and the representative of advanced culture is not mentioned, this does not mean that the current boss will not like this kind of thing that promotes the achievements of cultural undertakings, especially even if the film is not well made and fails.  , its investors are foreigners, the director is not within the system, and the subject matter has nothing to do with the system, so it cannot be regarded as a failure of the management agency. On the contrary, the management agency has reflected our open side through this cooperation.  There may be more similar cooperation in the future. Of course, the minister hopes that this movie will be successful so that his achievements will be greater. Thinking of this, he directly called the film management department to worry about it.  The current situation of Chinese movies, they are born to be scolded. If they manage well, they will be scolded.Even if they are scolded, the success of their film career has nothing to do with them.  But in the face of the political achievements mentioned by the minister, they were not hesitant to step forward and brush them off, especially since Shen Zhenghui had a close relationship with them, so they would not hesitate to brush them off.  So the minister perfected his idea and reported it to the higher leadership. The higher leadership was naturally interested in this kind of thing that was both beneficial and prestigious, so Chairman Han was entrusted with the specific operation, because at the beginning  It would be inappropriate for a high-level government leader to come forward in this matter.  The deep relationship between Sony and Colombia quickly figured out the inside story. They even inquired about many state-owned enterprises and private enterprises that had heard of the news and were interested in getting involved, whether it was cooperation in terms of funds or personnel. They even inquired about a lot of information.  The Lingtong region has already begun to fight for filming locations. Sony and Colombia have not yet expressed their stance. It seems that the bureaucrats and film and television capital groups within the mainland have become restless and have begun to work hard to promote the success of this matter.  Of course, on the surface, the official attitude is calm and sincere.  Sony and Columbia have begun to consider how to offer preferential conditions, and Shen Zhenghui's arrival in Pingjing became the best catalyst.  Also coming with him was his assistant director Miyamoto, but as soon as Miyamoto got off the plane, he was picked up by Fukuda Mitsumi's people and went to explore the natural scenes in the northeast and northwest that were suitable for filming movies.  Chairman Han also started formal contact with Sony, Columbia, and Kasuga. China Film was entrusted to cooperate with the three parties at the capital level. Then a leader of the official film bureau came forward to endorse the preferential conditions of the entire project.  Sony and Columbia received tax rebates, special entry and exit considerations for actors, and the opening of green channels as they wished. They did not even have to pay for the entire movie set construction. China Film and some private enterprises invested part of it to build a company to undertake the construction of the scenic spot and subsequent construction.  Operation and maintenance.  The crew only needs to contribute 30% of the cost to use the sets for free. Sony and Columbia frantically requested that this condition be extended until the entire series of scripts is completed, and China generously agreed.  It is stipulated in the contract that subsequent contracts can be signed under the same conditions, but this preferential condition also has a time limit, which is ten years.  Even if only one movie is shot because of the rush, China will gain two film and television cities.  While Sony and Columbia are happy, Wang Anping and Mitsumi Fukuda are also celebrating.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
