Reborn Capital Tycoon - Chapter 209
Chapter 209 270 million feet
Chen Yi’s ideas and suggestions are not aimless, or castles in the air. In the future, Xiangjiang Film and Television wants to have a big development, and if it wants to keep up with Hollywood, it is not only enough to learn technology, but also needs to establish a complete film and television base similar to Hollywood. .
At present, all the film and television companies in Xiangjiang, whether it is a TV company like TVB or a film company like Shaw Brothers, none of them have a film and television base on the scale of Hollywood.
If an oriental Hollywood studio can be built, it will definitely play a very important role in the development of Xiangjiang Film and Television.
Thinking of his early career, he gave up his dream of becoming a film and television tycoon. Boss Qiu feels that he has a successful career now, so he can take this opportunity to get involved in the film and television industry and make up for his early regrets.
However, this matter is too big, and Boss Qiu knows that the strength of the two of them alone is somewhat weak.
“Xiao Yi, your idea is good. Xiangjiang really needs a film and television base comparable to Hollywood. I will definitely support you in this matter. Whether it is financial or other aspects, I am willing to fully support it.”
“However, if you want to build a large-scale film and television base, you need to consider not only the funds, but also the land. With the current land price in Xiangjiang, even if you sell it, you may not be able to get it together.”
Qiu Degen really didn’t say anything nonsense. If Chen Yi sold the land to farmers or the Governor’s Mansion according to the area occupied by Hengdian in later generations, then even going bankrupt would not be enough.
You must know that the land in Xiangjiang is calculated by feet, if thirty square kilometers are converted into square feet, that is 270 million square feet.
270 million square feet of land, how much do you think it will cost?
Look clearly, it is the land, not the area of the house.
Such a large piece of land, unless the Governor’s Mansion takes it over, as Boss Qiu said, even if he sells him, it won’t be enough.
Boss Qiu glanced at Chen Yi, seeing that he didn’t respond, so he took the initiative to tell his own solution.
“Unless you can get the support of the Governor’s Office, it would be even better if you can persuade Governor MacLehose. With the support of the Governor’s Office, you can get enough land from the New Territories to build a film and television base without much cost. “
“However, it is not so difficult to win the support of the Governor-General and persuade Governor MacLehose. The two of us alone may not have that strength.”
Boss Qiu can be regarded as a bigwig in the circle of Chinese capital, but it is obviously impossible to say that his words can directly affect the Governor-General or the Governor-General MacLehose.
However, these are not the most important to Chen Yi.
The most important thing now is that Boss Qiu obviously agrees with his ideas, and even expressed that he will fully support him.
The Long March, in Chen Yi’s view, has now taken a historic step. As long as the first step is taken, the next step will be easy.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. To be able to convince Boss Qiu, a filmmaker who has been away from Xiangjiang Films for 10 or 20 years, Chen Yi does not believe that Boss Li, Run Run Shaw and others will be so short-sighted and unable to see the pros and cons of it.
Regarding Boss Qiu’s concerns, Chen Yi was not discouraged, but said confidently: “Uncle Qiu, don’t worry, I have considered this point. The matter of this film and television base is related to the future development of Xiangjiang’s film and television industry. Rely on the strength of the two of us.
Now that you have agreed, Uncle Qiu, then I will go to discuss with Uncle Li. I believe he will support us. At that time, we will find those influential people related to film and television, and unite with them to report to the Governor’s Mansion. Advice to Governor MacLehose…”
“I believe that as long as most Xiangjiang film and television professionals apply to the Governor’s Office, Governor MacLehose and the Governor’s Office will definitely consider it seriously.”
While talking, Chen Yi suddenly changed the subject and said with emotion: “In the final analysis, Xiangjiang is not suitable for taking the light industry route all the time. Regardless of the large population of Xiangjiang, there are four to five million people, but this small number of people Compared with the neighboring Wanwan and South Korea, it has no advantage at all.”
“If we continue to compete with the two places for light industry, Xiangjiang’s current advantages will be exhausted a little bit sooner or later. As for heavy industry, based on various considerations, I believe the British will definitely not help Xiangjiang develop heavy industry.”
“So, the next step for Xiangjiang is to transform into industries such as finance, import and export trade, and entertainment services, and gradually replace light industry. This will be the trend of Xiangjiang in the future…”
“Finance and import and export trade mainly depend on the policies formulated by the Governor’s Office, while the entertainment industry requires all Xiangjiang film and television professionals to go all out to create. The support of the Governor’s Office is only to provide a good environment, really good movies, good For TV dramas, we still have to rely on the efforts of Xiangjiang film and television people, even if it is me, I can only give support and help from other aspects.”
Yes, all he did was to create better conditions for Xiangjiang film and television professionals. As for making movies and TV series, he, a layman, could only watch the fun from the sidelines.
According to the development of Xiangjiang films in the previous life, there is no need to worry about talents and technology. Even in the 21st century, Xiangjiang’s filmmakers still have a certain influence in the world.
So, as long as the foundation is laid well, no matter how bad Xiangjiang will be in the future, it will not be as bad as in the previous life, not to mention that there is Chen Yi, the big boss, now.
Although he is not a professional film and television person, as a latecomer, he knows which direction the entertainment industry should develop in the future, such as Wanwan’s main idol dramas, Korean variety shows and girl groups, etc.
Whether it is Wanwan or South Korea, both places have fallen behind in Xiangjiang movies, and once swept the whole of Asia with their own advantages.
As for the European and American markets, to be honest, Chen Yi doesn’t care too much, because the Asian market alone is enough for the development of Xiangjiang’s film and television industry.
As long as Xiangjiang Film and Television can firmly control the Asian market in the future, as it had a huge influence and status in Asia in the 1980s and 1990s, then the European and American markets will be a sweet spot.
After a long talk with Boss Qiu, it was late in the evening before you knew it. Although there was a big difference in age between the two, there was no obstacle to their conversation. When they finally left, they were more or less unfinished.
Different from Chen Yi who simply found a long-term goal for himself, after this conversation, Boss Qiu really admired Boss Chen, a junior.
He has ideas, drive, and is very young. The most important thing is that Boss Chen still has the capital to pay for his own ideas. This is very important.
Think about how many people started out with dreams and wanted to start a career, but in the end they failed because they had no money, or they ran counter to their original dreams.
I have to say that Boss Qiu is more or less envious of Boss Chen from the bottom of his heart. He envies him for being rich and young…
