Millennium director

Qingdao Oriental Movie Metropolis.

As a super-large film and television base that claims to stand in the East and go to the world, Oriental Movie Metropolis covers an area of ​​about 3.76 million square meters and a total construction area of ​​about 5.4 million square meters, covering Sunac Film and Television Industrial Park, Sunac Mall, Sunac Park, Grand Theater, high-end hotel group, Sunac Yacht Club, Binhai Bar Street, well-known hospitals, international schools and other formats.

It can be said that this place is indeed a micro-city, and it is indeed much more upscale than ordinary cinemas.

Of course, such a huge movie city is also very hard to build. It was built from 2013 to November 2017, and it was not officially opened until April 2018.

When the crew of "The Monkey King" came to Oriental Movie Metropolis, it was actually not open yet. It was Wu Yuan who brought the crew here to use the studio in advance with his relationship.

This is a win-win situation. Wanda also hopes to have a good publicity topic when Oriental Movie Metropolis opens.

What better publicity is there than attracting Wu Yuan's new movie to shoot before it opens?

Of course, Wu Yuan is not the first one. Before him, Zhang Yimou's "The Great Wall" had been filmed here, and a real section of the Great Wall was built.

Zhang Yimou is also a director who can enjoy the same treatment as Wu Yuan.

Apart from the two of them, it is unlikely that other ordinary directors and crews want to use this place to film before the official opening of Oriental Movie Metropolis.

After all, Wanda, the influence behind Oriental Movie Metropolis, is already large enough, and there is no shortage of ordinary popularity. Maybe the popularity of those crews combined is not as high as the popularity brought by Wanda Prince Wang taking young models to the street.

"There are 15 studios and 11 set workshops in the A1 area of ​​the Film City alone."

The staff member who led the "Monkey King" crew to visit the Film City proudly introduced to Wu Yuan: "The Film City has a total of 40 high-tech studios, including the world's largest single studio with an area of ​​10,000 square meters, and the world's only indoor and outdoor underwater studio."

"There are also 32 set workshops adjacent to the studio area, providing clothing, painting/spraying, woodworking and grinding, iron art and other functional support. The ancillary rooms are adjacent to the studios and set workshops, and have functions such as clothing, makeup, and waiting, to cooperate with the daily filming and office of the crew."

"The outdoor area includes the theme location service building and vacant outdoor locations. The theme location contains 15 3-5-story building facades with different styles, such as the Republic of China Magic City, European and American style, and many other scenes. The huge vacant outdoor location can be customized to meet the needs of large-scale professional scene building and shooting."

"And Our film and television city has the entire industry chain covering film and television production. "

"Our digital audio and video center covers a total area of ​​18,659 square meters. As a professional film and television post-production office area, it has advanced hardware equipment and strong technical force. It focuses on the field of high-end film and television production and provides full-process post-production services in many aspects such as sound effects, visual effects, editing, and color grading. "

"The digital audio and video center has two world-class advanced mixing studios, which meet the Dolby Atmos advanced sound effect certification and Dolby Atmos sound effect certification standards respectively. It accurately creates a movie sound space and realizes the sound field surround in all directions, demonstrating the highest standards of domestic film sound production. "

"I can proudly say that in our film and television city, a crew can complete all aspects of a movie from shooting to post-production without leaving home! "

"Even if you want a very complex scene, you can also realize it in the film and television city, and difficult special effects production is not a problem! "

"Wu Yuan, who listened carefully on the side, nodded repeatedly.

He was no stranger to this Oriental film and television in both of his lives, especially in his last life.

Because most of the online movies he filmed in his previous life were filmed here, and it was really a one-stop service from the start of filming to post-production.

Even the several film and television companies he worked for were directly registered and established in the Sunac Park of Oriental Film Metropolis.

Because the policy strength here is very high, the Oriental Film Metropolis Sunac Film and Television Industrial Park enjoys a special film and television subsidy fund of up to 5 billion yuan, which is used to subsidize film and television works filmed here.

The most exaggerated one can enjoy a cash subsidy of up to 40% of the filming and production costs in Qingdao.

In other words, if you spend 100 million yuan on filming, Oriental Film Metropolis can give you a subsidy of 40 million yuan, which is simply too strong.

Of course, the most important thing is that the hardware of Oriental Film Metropolis itself is good enough. It is indeed the top film and television base in Asia and even in the world, so the two "The Wandering Earth" were also filmed here.

In other places in China, you can't find a film and television base with better hardware and better services than Oriental Film Metropolis.

It's a pity that "The Monkey King" can't get subsidies from Oriental Film Metropolis, and Light and Shadow Times doesn't have the face to compete with those small crews for such subsidy policies.

"Director Wu, this is the studio and set workshop rented by your crew."

While speaking, the staff member also brought the "Monkey King" crew to the studio that had been rented in advance.

The crew's set department, which was previously arranged by Wu Yuan here, had already been busy in the studio and set workshop.

"This studio covers an area of ​​5,000 square meters, and there is another 3,000 square meter studio next door, both of which are rented by your crew."

"This large studio has been transformed into the appearance of a Magic City block, and the studio next door has also been transformed into four scenes with a fairy-tale atmosphere as required."

"For the next two months, these two studios will belong to you. If you have any problems or troubles in using them, you can contact us at any time to handle them."

"Thank you." Wu Yuan reached out and shook hands with the enthusiastic staff member, indicating that the crew could go to their respective positions.

This time in Oriental Movie Metropolis, the crew of "The Monkey King" not only rented two studios and a set workshop, but also several outdoor locations and an office. It can be said that all the crew members will stay here for food and accommodation for the next two months, and even sleep in the hotel provided by the movie city.

They don't need to worry about all the daily trivial matters. The crew's work producer will coordinate with Oriental Movie Metropolis and provide professional services. It can be said that Wu Yuan has been the most comfortable in terms of software treatment in all his years of filming movies.

"Next to the studio area is Sunac Mall, the first trampoline park in Shandong, the first Fiesta supermarket in Qingdao, the only professional real ice rink on the west coast, and many catering and cultural and creative brands that are entering Shandong or Qingdao for the first time are all there."

"There is also the largest indoor water park in Shandong, the two major theme parks of German Town and Laoshan Wonders. After the filming is finished, you can also go there to have fun, and the cost will be paid by the crew."

"This is the best working environment you can find in China. Everyone has to work hard to shoot next!"

Wu Yuan announced the good news to the crew with a smile, and immediately there was a warm cheer on the scene. Every employee was like a chicken blood, and their work enthusiasm was immediately pulled to the highest!

"Okay, then let's start the afternoon shooting!" (End of this chapter)
