Chapter 917 The peak of the century

Century Film City has not officially opened, but the base has already concentrated a large number of film and television companies. On the windows facing the street, you can see advertisements such as extras, equipment rentals, and the elevator doors are also pasted with advertisements from film and television companies. On the enterprise information query software Qichacha, "Lin'an Film and Television" is used for keyword query. The results show that there are 5,386 companies. More than 3,000 of them were registered and established after 2010, of which last year was the peak of the creation of new film and television companies, reaching 2,000.

Jianfeng Digital rented an office in Century Film Capital. From the gate, it was the studio in Century Film Capital. Because the location was particularly eye-catching, most people who were new to Century Film Capital could quickly discover this company. After Xu Yongan inspected the supporting facilities around Century Film Capital, he walked into Jianfeng Digital.

Through conversation, Xu Yongan learned that Zhang Jianfeng, the boss of Jianfeng Digital, was originally a technician of Tiangong Quancai. After working at Tiangong Quancai for four years, he established Jianfeng Digital and engaged in film and television post-production. With his relationship and connections at the peak of the century, Jianfeng Digital has developed well and has accumulated a certain reputation in the industry. However, after hearing the news that Century Film Capital was launched, Zhang Jianfeng immediately decided to plan for this new market. In 2010, Jianfeng Digital completed the registration at Century Film Capital, and at the beginning of this year, he directly moved the headquarters from Huairou.

Xu Yongan said in confusion: "No one knows what will happen to Century Shadow Capital. You just moved the headquarters here. Don't you think it's very risky?"

Zhang Jianfeng said confidently: "Anyway, as long as you film, you will definitely be inseparable from the late stage. Moreover, our post-stage level is first-class, so you don't have to worry about not having business!"

Xu Yongan said: "There are many domestic film and television bases, but 80% are losses, 15% are tied, and only 5% are really making money. Most film and television bases only have four or five crews a year. If there is no crew moving in, what will you do?"

Zhang Jianfeng glanced at Xu Yongan and said in a sarcastic tone: "With the peak of Century, how could Century Shadow not have a crew? You are really worried about it!"

Xu Yongan didn't care about Zhang Jianfeng's mockery and said: "Hengdian's film and television industry is very mature, with hundreds of crews moving in every year, but there is a lack of an excellent post-production team. Why don't you try Hengdian?"

Hengdian Film and Television City has an advantage that many domestic film and television cities cannot match, that is, Hengdian has established a very complete industrial chain, and all the factors of film and television production can be found in Hengdian, such as props, costumes, power trains, transportation vehicles, fireworks, makeup, extras, special actors, etc. The crew needs 100 pieces of palace maids' clothing at 10 o'clock tomorrow, and Hengdian can provide the cheapest and most professional clothing tomorrow. For the crew, filming in Hengdian saves money, worry and effort, they naturally want to film in Hengdian. In recent years, film and television cities have been built in China. In some places, investment is higher, and the film and television cities are built more beautifully, but there are few crews living in. The fundamental reason is that there is no perfect supporting facilities, and it is not attractive to the crew.

However, Hengdian is not without flaws. The biggest problem is that the film and television post-production process appears to be severely lagging. This is Hengdian’s biggest shortcoming and the biggest flaw in Hengdian’s entire film and television industry chain. Now Hengdian’s film and television post-production is only at the rough cutting stage. After the crew finishes the filming, the relevant materials will be sent to companies in Peking, Magic City and other places for real post-production. The film and television post-production industry is a knowledge-intensive and creative-intensive industry that requires a large number of high-tech talents. Hengdian is a small town located in the middle of Zhijiang, not a talent highland, resulting in fewer film and television post-production companies and shortage of talents. Xu Yongan also knows the shortcomings of Hengdian. He has begun to make efforts in the post-production process in the past two years, but the effect is very average. He really hopes that an excellent post-production team like Jianfeng Digital can go to Hengdian.

Zhang Jianfeng sneered: "After the Century Film Capital is completed, Mr. Zhang will bring the Hollywood crew here, and this will become a globally renowned film and television production center like Vancouver. Here we participate in top blockbusters and have the opportunity to grow into an internationally renowned late-production company. What else can Hengdian besides thunder dramas?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Jianfeng, you can't say that. Hengdian has its own uniqueness and advantages that Century Movie does not have!"

Zhang Jianfeng and Xu Yongan suddenly turned around and saw Zhang Ran coming towards him with a smile. Zhang Jianfeng saw Zhang Ran, and quickly greeted him with a smile and asked, "Mr. Zhang, why are you here?"

Zhang Ran chuckled and said, "I'm passing by here and come and go!"

While speaking, Zhang Ran's eyes fell on Xu Yongan. He did not expect to meet the boss of Hengdian Group here. Many people know that Xu Wenrong, known as the Emperor of Hengdian, was the Hengdian Film and Television City, which was known as the "Hollywood in China". But in fact, Xu Wenrong had retired ten years ago, and his son Xu Yongan took over the position of chairman. After Xu Yongan became chairman, Hengdian broke through the single function of film and television shooting and broadened the path of combining film and television with tourism. In the past ten years, Hengdian achieved leapfrog development. However, Xu Yongan was extremely low-key to the outside world and refused all interviews. There were many people who knew Hengdian, many people who knew Xu Wenrong, but not many people who knew Xu Yongan.

Xu Yongan would not appear in Century Film Capital for no reason. He probably came to explore the truth after the subsidy policy was introduced at the peak of Century!

Zhang Ran stretched out his hand to Xu Yongan and said enthusiastically: "I have wanted to meet Mr. Xu for a long time, but unfortunately I haven't found a suitable opportunity. I didn't expect to meet him here by chance today!"

Xu Yongan noticed that the emphasis of Zhang Ran's words was on "a coincidence", and after shaking hands with Zhang Ran, he directly made it clear: "In addition to visiting Century Film Capital, I also have another purpose to meet Mr. Zhang to see if there is any possibility of cooperation."

Zhang Ran was stunned. He originally planned to meet Xu Yongan after the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival to discuss the possibility of cooperation. Unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to propose it and said, "This is not a place for conversation. Let's find a place to sit down and chat slowly. How about it?"

Xu Yongan smiled and nodded: "Listen to Mr. Zhang's arrangement!"

Zhang Ran did not take Xu Yongan to the famous teahouse in the city, but took him directly to the tea room of a hotel in Century Film City.

After sitting casually in a private room, Zhang Ran personally poured a cup of tea for Xu Yongan and asked casually: "Have you gained anything after the inspection of Century Film Capital?"

Xu Yongan said seriously: "At the beginning, I saw you building several five-star and four-star hotels around Century Film Capital. I was relieved. If you put your competitiveness on hardware, it would not be a big threat to Hengdian. Hengdian receives more than 100 crews every year and has been dealing with crews for more than ten years. He knows the crew too much. What the crew cares about the most is the cost. If the hotels built by Century Film Capital are all four-star and five-star, it will greatly increase the cost of the cast, how many crews are willing to film at Century Film Capital? But later I found that in addition to the four-star and five-star hotel, you are also building one-star and two-star hotels on a large scale. I knew you really understand the film and television industry and the crew too much!"

The film and television industry is a highly hierarchical industry. The crew is often only arranged to live in four-star and five-star hotels. The crew's artists and other backstage personnel live in three-star hotels, and the star's assistants and other personnel often live in one-star and two-star hotels. If Century Film City only builds four-star and five-star hotels, even if there is a subsidy, the cost is still very high, so many crews will definitely not want to come here. But now the peak of Century's approach is to build several four-star hotels, and build one-star, two-star, and three-star hotels on a large scale. In this way, whoever stays in any hotel can be distinguished. With the subsidy, the accommodation fee may be cheaper than Hengdian. The crew will definitely be willing to come to Century Film City to film.

However, what really scared Xu Yongan was that during the visit to the Century Film City, he found that Century Film had not officially opened, but had established a very complete industrial chain, and even the post-production link that Hengdian dreamed of was extremely complete. Xu Yongan always thought that Zhang Ran was a very powerful person, and now he found that Zhang Ran was even more powerful than he imagined. Zhang Ran had been deeply rooted in the film and television industry for ten years, and not only built a huge film and television industry chain himself, but also built an extremely large system with the peak of the century as the center. Take the post.

For the current affairs company, whether it is a special effects company or a post-production company, at least one-third of the number in China has the bloodline of Century Peak. These companies are all developed by the management personnel or technical personnel of Century Peak. And these companies have very close business connections with Century Peak. When Century Peak was in Lin'an, these later companies moved their headquarters to Lin'an, at least they opened branches in Lin'an. Therefore, before Century Film City was opened, the industrial chain construction was already quite complete.

Zhang Ran gathered thousands of companies with Century Peak as the center, including subsidiaries such as Jiahe, Guevara, Dingfeng Entertainment, as well as creative advertising, companies like Qingyang Zhengyu, and there are also thousands of semi-close and loose companies like Jianfeng Digital. The entire Century Peak involves all aspects of the entire film and television industry, accounting for more than one-third of the film and television industry!

Xu Yongan came to a conclusion that he could not become an enemy at the peak of the century, but could only become a friendly partner, otherwise Hengdian would die without a burial place!

Zhang Ran chuckled and said, "We are a film company. If we don't even know the needs of the crew, then we will close long ago." Zhang Ran looked at Xu Yongan and said slowly: "Century Peak and Hengdian are not rivals, and they can be partners. There are two centers in the entire American film industry, Los Angeles and New York. China's population is four times that of the United States, with an area similar. I believe that China's film and television resources will inevitably be integrated in the future and will form two centers, one centered on Beiping and the other will appear in the Yangtze River Delta region. I think Peking will become an independent film center like New York, and the films produced are more artistic and more academic; while the Yangtze River Delta center will be more commercial and become a new Oriental Hollywood. Hollywood is not built by one person

It is impossible for Oriental Hollywood to be completed by any company. Century Peak has a relatively complete industrial chain and has certain strength, but it is impossible to achieve all links of the industrial chain. I think the entire Yangtze River Delta film and television group should unite and everyone should do this together. If we can join forces, there is really a chance to build the Yangtze River Delta into Oriental Hollywood. If we can build Oriental Hollywood, then the national and even the world's film and television resources will be concentrated here, and our film and television companies will also achieve better development. As long as we stand in the wind, pigs can fly, but we are humans, not pigs, and we can't stay in place and wait for the wind to come. If we have the opportunity to create a wind, why don't we build one by ourselves?"

Xu Yongan felt a little moved when he heard this. Before going to Lin'an for inspection, he discussed this issue with his father Xu Wenrong. They all believed that Zhang Ran's introduction of subsidies was not to snatch business from Hengdian, but the real purpose was to integrate the film and television resources of the Yangtze River Delta. Now it seems that it is true. He said calmly: "I don't know how to combine the law?"
