my crew is not human

Chapter 275 Expansion Plan
After sending off Chu Xiya, Li Xianyun returned to filming.

However, after those big-name artists left, Dong Zixin was already able to control the situation, so Li Xianyun simply let him go, and he focused on company affairs, focusing on the six theaters that will cooperate with Lixin.

For these six theaters, Li Xianyun intends to produce some modern dramas - there are too many ghost and god films produced before, and the aesthetics are getting tired.Now that there is a car accident ghost, it is finally possible to shoot modern dramas.

Thinking of this, Li Xianyun suddenly felt that it was time to develop the commercial area.

He called Jiang Zheng directly: "Old Jiang, what do you think of us developing the business district earlier?"

"What?" Jiang Zheng was stunned.

"There is no modern scene." Li Xianyun briefly explained the situation.

Speaking of which, what the major film and television centers are most lacking is probably the scenes of modern dramas.

The reason is simple, this thing does not attract tourists.

Where can't we see modern high-rise buildings?Want to run to see your attractions?

In addition, people who shoot modern dramas generally like landmark buildings, and they don’t have to just shoot at random buildings. For example, Brother Long, he has traveled all over the world’s landmark buildings, and he almost missed the Empire State Building for flying.

However, the demand for venues for modern dramas still exists.

Take "I Am Legend" as an example.

This film is also a blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions, but the actors are almost alone and a dog.

Nothing but zombies.

Where did the money go?

It's the venue!

In order to take pictures of the city's abandoned appearance, the crew directly spent a lot of money to rent down the expensive Fifth Avenue for two days, and all the shops were closed!

The busiest street in the United States is closed for two days!
How much does this cost?
What's more, this is just a street, and I am a legend is not just a street.

The city is not just for you to block roads!
If the road is closed, you have to pay money, and you have to make connections. If you get through the government, you have to connect with the merchants.
As long as one family does not accept it, this street will not be used.

But the movie theater is different. Although the roads have to be closed, and the money has to be paid, the cost is definitely much lower than outside—the demand from the merchants will be much lower than those boutiques in the urban area, and even the contract will be much lower. will stipulate this.

Of course, some producers have a way, and may be able to get a lower-cost location outside, but the advantage of doing so is that it saves transition costs and time.

The outdoor scene here is done, and I go straight to the studio when I turn back, there is no need to transition.

It is very troublesome to move things and people around. It takes half a day to transfer within the city, a whole day if you transfer across cities, and three or four days across the country. The time spent on the road is still paid.

A lot of time is spent on the road.

A large-scale production that lasted several months or even more than half a year, moved to more than ten places in the world, and the time spent on the road alone could last for a month.

Back then, Jiangcheng built a European city and built a world landmark building to facilitate film and television shooting.

Unfortunately, it didn't work well, and eventually it was abandoned.

But Li Xianyun's side is a commercial area in itself, as long as it is not a landmark building, the most important thing is that Li Xianyun's holographic projection is still under development, and one of the main directions is the venue setting. His peripheral commercial area One of the most important reasons for using containers is to facilitate transformation.

With this method, it may be possible to temporarily transform various buildings into the appearance of landmarks in various places in the future.

Knowing Li Xianyun's idea, Jiang Zheng didn't quite agree with it: "Then you can't develop the commercial area in advance just to make a few movies, right? This approach is a bit of a reversal of priorities."

"That's what I think." Li Xianyun said: "The investment in the ghost city has already been in place, but we still have extra money on our books. This year, there will be more than one billion yuan. I don't know how to spend it. Lan Yuan is not going to Will you give us the 5300 acres? 4500 acres of land is better than [-] acres, isn’t it? At that time, we will have a round of capital increase.”

Jiang Zheng thought about it, and felt that it made sense: "But now these six movies still don't need the business district."

"These theaters won't be able to start operation until next year at the earliest. If they start construction now, the business district should be almost ready by that time. No need for buildings. For high-rise buildings, you must either go outside to find the scene, or use a studio. The specific Read the book. The key is that with Zhou Shijie, modern dramas can be put on the schedule earlier. By the way, the planning of the commercial district should also be slightly revised, and it is best to provide some space for speeding dramas."

"There are not so many places. I think you can rebuild the natural area at that time. Once it is fully completed, the film and television base will not have much room for development. There will be the final improvement."

"That piece of land is for agricultural use, so I have to report it to the county government. I plan to dig underground and build the top of the mountain." Li Xianyun changed Xiaozeshan into a flattop mountain, and he is determined to dig three feet into the ground, but this part will definitely wait for the ghost town. After the comprehensive construction was completed, it was invested with normal profits.

Jiang Zheng laughed: "It's not urgent to dig a hole. As for the expansion of the commercial area, I think as long as the business is good, it's not a big problem."

"That's fine, let's set up a board of directors later, and tell them, if they don't agree, we will build a ghost town lower district by ourselves, and then don't blame me for diverting people to take advantage of them."

Jiang Zheng laughed: "You kid can do it now, you are bold and black-hearted, and you have made big critical steps!"

Li Xianyun also smiled: "Didn't you say that? Think about Ruixin Coffee, think about Pin Xixi, they both went public in two or three years, and it's been more than three years since I started hanging all the way until now. This little achievement is nothing like shit."

"You, I think it's money to burn." Jiang Zheng laughed: "Okay, I'll go back to the board of directors to issue a proposal. I guess the general direction is not a big problem, but there will be a round of quarrels on the details. You can do something when the time comes." To make a concession, it is not necessary to take out all the money.”

"No problem." Li Xianyun readily agreed.

The proposal on expanding the business district has not yet been submitted, but Chu Xiya's news came back a day later.

Still the same words: "Mr. Li, do you have time? I want to talk to you?"

Seeing the news, Li Xianyun smiled and said back to her: "These two days are busy, it's hard to find time."

"What about the day after tomorrow? I want to invite you Xiangze to dinner, and I also want to talk to you about cooperation. I also have some ideas, and I think you will be interested."

"Let's think about it, I'm not sure if I'll be busy then."

"Li Dong, give me a chance, I won't let you down again."

Li Xianyun smiled: "Okay then, I will make a schedule for you."

Putting down the phone, Li Xianyun said to the outside: "Chen Yu, do I have any plans for tonight?"

"No. You have declined most of the invitations." The square-faced female secretary came in and answered.

"Then arrange one at random. I happen to have time today."

"Mr. Chen next door wants to treat you to dinner."

"no problem."

Chen Yu turned and left.

"By the way, which Mr. Chen?" Li Xianyun asked.
