Since 1983

"The new bridge is here, the new bridge is here!"

"Everyone take your belongings and get out of the car one by one."

Two buses drove into the courtyard of Donghai Hotel. Well, the hotel owned by Lunda is called Donghai.

Dozens of people came down, and the tour guide held a small flag and entered the lobby to check in. This is a travel agency in Hangzhou. The tourists are all from the same unit in the province. Hearing that "The Opium War" is here, I want to come and see it.

Since the 1990s, commercial travel agencies have begun to develop, and there are very few retail investors. They are all organized by the unit, with a family member or something.

In 1997, it was allowed to travel abroad at its own expense. When it came out of the country at the beginning of that year, it was basically Xinmatai. The fee of 10,000 to 20,000 is all big money, so since then, foreign countries have the impression of Chinese tourists as rich.

The next best thing is domestic travel. Going to Window of the World is a big deal, and you can enjoy it for a year when you come back.

This group is two days and one night, arrive at noon, leave at noon tomorrow, and provide three meals. The tour guide divided the rooms and said: "Have lunch later, go to the film and television city after eating, free activities from evening to tomorrow morning.

The film and television city gave us a discount. Tickets bought today can still be entered tomorrow. In this building, we live on the first floor, and the rest is the crew of "The Opium War". Director Xie Jin is also here.

Emphasize one point, try not to disturb other people's work..."

Rest and eat, and go straight to the film and television city after dinner.

The scenic spot can indeed be seen, but it’s nothing more than walking around. The key is to film. Someone with sharp eyes noticed Huang Haibing standing in the garden, and a crowd surrounded him in the blink of an eye.

Chattering, buzzing.

The assistant director shouted with a loudspeaker: "Keep your voice down, the actors can't hear what they say. Originally, we were going to set up roadblocks, but considering that everyone came all the way, it would not be good if the scenic spot was half closed, so we opened it.

Comparing your heart to your heart, let's cooperate. "

This side is considered tolerant, but Guangzhou Street is really closed. The production crew is at the mouth of the Pearl River, separated by several floors, so they can only watch from a distance. You can also see Xie Jin, wearing a straw hat and commanding, and there are boats on the water.

And there are more snack sellers on the street, the old-fashioned carts of that era, and the vendors are dressed in the clothes of the lower class in the late Qing Dynasty.

At two or three o'clock, the show started again.

The water town is in brothels, where girls dance; Guangzhou Street is on the street, and there is a martial arts skit, which I also enjoy watching.

...

Although Xu Fei is in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many things going on.

There are quite a lot of world affairs gathered here, talking and laughing with great Confucianism, and there is no meaning of white people in communication. At this moment, he was taking a walk with Leader Zhao who came to condolences on "The Opium War".

"Young people's brains are alive, and some small programs can add a lot of color."

Leader Zhao wanted to win over, and he talked friendly, and asked: "The film and television city has invested a lot, is there any revenue now?"

"A little bit. We mainly make money from venue rent, but Director Xie waived it for me. The rest is our own crew, so we still have to pay.

However, there will be more crews in the future, so I plan to cancel the rent and use it for free. "

"Isn't that even more loss-making?"

"So we actively promote the service company and let the crew outsource all the logistics to us, so that we can make a profit."

In fact, there are hotels, tourism, catering, cultural and creative industries, etc., but he doesn't want to talk about them.

"If the policy is more open, I would also like to apply to the TV Department to set up a review agency here, so that the review can be conducted immediately after filming. In short, everything is for the crew."

"This idea is bold, but it is indeed possible in TV dramas."

I walked around the scenic spot, introduced various things, and was about to go back to the town, when I suddenly saw Mr. Huang running out of breath, "Finally found you, Director Chen has been here for a while."

"Chen Kaige?" Leader Zhao was surprised.

"Well, if you're free, why don't you meet me?"

So we went back together and arrived at the hotel. Director Chen came with his team, and he was also surprised when he saw Leader Zhao. He hurriedly greeted him, and then shook hands with Xu Fei: "I've heard about you for a long time, and I'll see you again at last."

"Don't dare to be, I have been friends with you for a long time."

Director Chen is 44 years old, he is at the peak of his creative energy, he said in a loud and polite voice, "Let me just say that I came here for a play called "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin".

When I finished filming "Farewell My Concubine", I was preparing for this script. After a few drafts, I was not satisfied, and I am still writing it now. At the same time, we are also selecting and making landscaping, the core of which is the Qin Palace.

I was building landscaping in a county in Yu Province, but I spent money but saw no results. The foundation was laid, but the top could not be built...

I heard that you have a film and television city here, so I took the liberty to bother you. "

"..."

No matter what Mr. Xu complained about, Director Chen did have the posture of a sour literati with thoughtful etiquette.

"Did you bring the blueprint?"

"You have a look."

He took a look, ho!

This is a complex of buildings, including 27 palaces, squares, main gates, palace gates, Chinese balconies, watchtowers and so on. Five steps to the first floor, ten steps to one pavilion, the corridors are unadorned, with high eaves and teeth, each embracing the terrain.

The main palace is called "Four Seas Returning to One Palace", and it is divided into front, middle and back. The depth is more than 120 meters, and there are 142 pillars supporting the dome alone.

Tut tut!

These big directors are outrageous, they have to build a city to make a film.

"Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin" has been in preparation for six or seven years, and the design of the Qin Palace has been done for a long, long time. It is said that the investment is 80 million, which is paid by the Japanese.

Li Xuejian played Ying Zheng, Zhang Fengyi played Jing Ke, Gong Li played Zhao Ji, and Wang Zhiwen played Lai Ai, the one in "Jie Bao Tong Lun Xing".

After the release, there was a flurry of criticism. It's actually quite good, but it may not meet most people's aesthetics, such as using Uncle Benshan to play Gao Jianli.

"How soon will you deliver?"

"How was the year?"

"In a year and a half, I will add a Han Street for you. You choose the site yourself, make preliminary plans, and leave the construction to me."

"Alright, thank you very much."

Director Chen heaved a sigh of relief, this guy is famous for his reliable work.

Leader Zhao watched the whole process and re-evaluated Xu Fei.

Outsiders don't know that he became a shareholder of the film and television city during the period, but he must have a lot to do with making decisions. A person who only makes movies has limited influence no matter how great he is. Like Xie Jin, he also bends his waist for five buckets of rice.

A part-time filmmaker with a large industry has a different energy. In many aspects, radio and television cannot be controlled by him.

The whole town is 126 square kilometers, about 189,000 mu. The population is very small, the proportion of cultivated land is also small, and there are large tracts of usable land.

Director Chen's team stayed for a while, and the county cooperated with the survey, and finally circled 800 mu.

…………

"The new bridge is here, those who get off get off quickly!"

Another morning, Xiao Ke stopped by the side of the road, a black and thin man came down, it was Lou Ye.

After graduating, he didn't go to a studio. He worked as an independent director in Beijing and Shanghai, shooting some commercials and short films, and then used the money he earned to make movies.

It wasn't underground at the beginning, "Weekend Lover" and "Girl in Dangerous Love" have both been released, and the latter was also nominated for the Golden Rooster Award. It was a thriller.

But isn't the policy tight now...

Carrying a big bag, like a homeless person, he touched the hotel counter, "Hi, I'm looking for Mr. Xu, we have an appointment."

"He's on the set. I'll open a room for you. You can take a rest first."

"Okay, thank you."

Once upon a time, when Xu Fei was filming "Hutong 2", he tricked a group of the sixth generation into going whoring for nothing. After that, he didn't have many contacts, but a phone call came all the way.

Because he said he would invest money in filming for himself.

He's making commercial films, so what money did he invest in himself?

Lou Ye entered the room and looked at the small town outside the window, quite inexplicably.

(besides……)
