Chapter 186 One to Fifteen

For Americans, whose country was founded only a few hundred years ago, more than 200 BC is really too old. For them, the Pirates of the Caribbean era was already a very distant era, not to mention that Jesus had not yet

Born BC.

"China has a long history, and only the history of ancient Egypt and the ancient Roman Empire can rival it." Cameron smiled and said, "But I think it is a good thing for a country to have a long and glorious history, but if

If you dwell on the glory of the past all day long and neglect to look forward, according to you, you are picking sesame seeds and losing the watermelon!"

Regarding Cameron's words, Fang Mingyuan applauded with both hands. After filming the Qing Dynasty, he filmed the Ming Dynasty; after finishing the Ming Dynasty, he filmed the Yuan Dynasty; anyway, there are many dynasties in Chinese history, and every year a large number of shoddy palace dramas, pigtail dramas, Huang Ama, etc.

Programs such as "Gege" occupy the prime time of many channels, crowding out a large number of TV programs that reflect the reality of society, and constraining the imagination of Chinese people.

Fang Bin also nodded and said: "You are right. In the past few years, eight of the ten crews filming in Hengyang Film and Television City are filming costume dramas. Those modern studios have a poor utilization rate.

Not as good as these palaces. James, when do you think George Lucas will release a sequel to "Star Wars"?"

Fang Mingyuan and Cameron couldn't help laughing. Cameron glanced at Fang Mingyuan and said: "Bin, I didn't expect you to be a fan of George's movie. You asked the right person. If nothing unexpected happens, George's

The new work will be released worldwide in the summer of next year, or at the end of next year at the latest!”

In Fan Mingyuan's previous life, the first episode of the "Star Wars" prequel was just released in the United States in the summer of 1999, but in this life, the time has been advanced by nearly two years! This is because of industrial light

After Magic Company received capital injections from Fang Mingyuan and Cameron, it has abundant funds and is making very smooth progress in research and development technology. It has completed technical reserves ahead of schedule and has reached the standards expected by Lucas. Therefore, Lucas has already put "

The "Star Wars" prequel is on the filming schedule.

"Great!" Fang Bin almost jumped out of his seat with excitement. He had been looking forward to "Star Wars" for a long time!

The motorcade soon arrived at the gate of Hengyang Film and Television City and drove in along the road.

"It's so beautiful!" Gore looked at the scenery outside the window and couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.

The inside and outside of the walls of the Film and Television City are like two worlds. Outside the walls, there is a modern town, and inside the walls, there are roads paved with bluestone slabs, ancient carriages and sedan chairs appearing from time to time, and not far away across the lake.

The stone bridges, the small boats and ancient painted boats that shuttle on the lake, and the rolling ancient buildings beside the lake. If it weren't for the pedestrians on the road, they would still be in modern attire, and if it weren't for the cars or trucks passing by from time to time.

, Gao Er almost thought that he traveled through time and space and came to ancient China!

"Mingyuan, so far this year, we have received 300,000 tourists here!" Fang Bin said with joy, "Your idea is really good! After this year, just the tickets for tourists and the entertainment in the film and television city

We have collected nearly 10 million yuan in consumption, which can basically guarantee the normal maintenance and operating expenses of the entire film and television city!"

At the end of the year before last, Fang Mingyuan proposed to him that he open Hengyang Film and Television City to the outside world, not only to people in the film and television industry, but also to the general public. To operate Hengyang Film and Television City as a tourist attraction. At that time

Fang Bin was still a little dissatisfied. In the 1990s, man-made attractions were flooding all over the country. Many retro attractions that cost huge sums of money to build had very few visitors after they opened. Not to mention recovering the investment, they could not even make a profit on daily operating expenses.

arrive.

And in Fang Bin's view, as long as Hengyang Film and Television City can attract enough film and television industry crews from Hong Kong and the Mainland, the annual income will be considerable. If it is opened to the outside world again, will these crews have too many problems?

Too many tourists are watching on the sidelines, which affects other people's shooting, and they give up shooting in Hengyang Film and Television City? If that is the case, it is picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon!

However, now that Fang Mingyuan has spoken, Fang Bin will definitely carry it out without compromise even if he doesn't agree with it in his heart. The person in the Fang family who knows best about Fang Mingyuan's path to fortune is none other than him.

Not to mention Fang Mingyuan's previous actions that seemed inexplicable at the time, all of them later proved to be the right choice. Take Hengyang Film and Television City as an example. Although he proposed the idea of ​​building a film and television base, in

Fang Mingyuan has put forward many constructive opinions to him in all aspects, and these opinions have been confirmed one by one during the construction process of Hengyang Film and Television City. For example, Fang Mingyuan once mentioned that Hengyang Film and Television City has

After the opening of the film and television industry, people in the film and television industry must establish a labor union for extras here. On the one hand, it is to protect the legal rights of those extras. On the other hand, it is also a way for Hengyang Film and Television City to have a good relationship with the local government. At the same time,

, at certain times, it is also a weapon to deal with those unruly "big names" in the film and television industry.

Whether it is a sharp weapon or not, there has been no chance of confirmation so far. Who among the crew from Hong Kong doesn’t know that this is a subsidiary company of Kumho Film Group? Unless they are crazy and want to be raped by all the film companies in Hong Kong, who?

They won't cause trouble here. The crew from the mainland also know that this is the property of Hong Kong companies, so they generally behave honestly - before the handover of Hong Kong in 1997, the government would not tolerate anything.

Damn it, if you dare to cause trouble on this kind of thing, you will definitely get burned in the end!

However, Fang Bin has discovered that with the establishment of this mass actors' union, because the union is defined as a service organization, Hengyang Film and Television City will allocate an amount of money every year as the operating expenses of the union. Therefore,

For those extras who are willing to join the union, the annual fees charged can be said to be negligible. Therefore, these extras have no resistance to joining the union. In addition, later, there were several incidents where the production crew defaulted on paying extras.

happened, and the labor union played a coordinating role in it and recovered the wages of these extras. So now, almost 90% of the extras in Hengyang Film and Television City have joined the labor union.

Fang Bin also followed Fang Mingyuan's suggestion and asked the trade union to establish files on these union members, record each person's characteristics and expertise one by one, and then establish archives in categories according to the roles they are suitable for. Hengyang Film and Television City has always

Recommended by the filming crew. It immediately gained great popularity from those film and television crews. This can greatly reduce their work pressure of selecting extra actors, and it can also avoid the problems caused by using some people who do not know their background during filming.

The trouble came. Soon, it became an important source of revenue for the union.

Therefore, Fang Bin invited a group of tourism professionals from Hong Kong and China to consider how to open Hengyang Film and Television City to the public.

Last year, Hengyang Film and Television City's income from this area was not that obvious. In nearly a year, it only received a mere 20,000 to 30,000 tourists, most of whom were day trippers from surrounding areas. The income was about the same as

In comparison, the expenditure is barely balanced. However, starting from this year, due to the release of several movies, Hengyang Film and Television City, as a filming location, has become famous with the help of the media. Tourists from all over the country come to Hengyang Film and Television City.

It suddenly increased. Compared with the previous year, it was nearly ten times more! If we include the income from the hotels and entertainment venues that Fang Bin invested and built in Hengyang Town, the income from this area is also huge.

Fang Bin was overjoyed.

"Uncle, the supporting projects in the town are accelerating. Next year there will only be more tourists than this year. By then, if you can't keep up with the supporting projects, you will be watching the money flowing in front of you.

!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. With the development of the national economy, people's desire to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland will become stronger and stronger. It can be said that tourism has become one of the pillar industries of the national economy. It can be said that it is certain!

If Fang Bin can seize this opportunity, Hengyang Film and Television City in the future will be Fang Bin's own cornucopia!

The motorcade turned along the road to a corner of the film and television city, where the office area and service area of ​​Hengyang Film and Television City are located.

Fang Mingyuan and his group got out of the car and entered a six-story building accompanied by Fang Bin.

"Hello, Mr. Fang!"

"Hello, Mr. Fang!"

"Hello, Mr. Fang!" From the moment we entered the lobby, there was an endless stream of people greeting Fang Bin, and most of them were young and beautiful girls. They shouted in sweet voices, which made people feel itchy in their hearts.

"Brother-in-law, why is it that the ratio of women among your employees here is so high?" Fang Mingyuan pulled Fang Bin and asked in a low voice. Entering this building, it was like being in a daughter's country, and these girls are all beautiful.

Pretty, some of them can indeed be called rare beauties. His aunt is still in Hong Kong, and he doesn't want his uncle's grape trellis to fall down in the future!

"Male staff usually work in the field and follow the crew on location to help them solve problems. Of course, there are more women in the office!" Fang Bin said in the same low voice, "Mingyuan, you don't know

, when I was recruiting people here this year, I almost had to catch up with the beauty pageant! Twenty-seven positions, do you know how many people came in the end? Three hundred and ninety-four people! There were even female college students who came from the capital and southern Guangdong.

!”

"Three hundred and ninety-four people!" Fang Mingyuan frowned slightly. On average, there are fifteen people competing for one position. No wonder the quality of the women here is so high.

"In the end, in order to select suitable candidates for these twenty-seven positions, even the sound of the voice became the criterion for selection! In this way, we had to accept thirty-three people in the end!" Fang Bin looked proud.

Authentic. The competition ratio of one to fifteen, especially for such high-quality women, fully illustrates the strength of Hengyang Film and Television City Company!
