Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 589: Don’t shoot, leave it alone
The film and television market is surging and constantly accumulating strength. If you move slowly, every step will be slow and no one will wait for you.

Of course, there are no losers or winners, only those who occupy a piece of territory and keep it.

Don't rely on others, have your own autonomy, and have your own voice.

Even if Wanda withdrew in the past, it was not because of a loss, but because there were problems with the core business.

What this industry is fighting for is “autonomy”!
Only by being "autonomous" can you protect your things from being taken away, prevent the celebrities under you from sleeping with you, and make others dare not scold you.

Only then can you stop calling others “Dad” and instead be someone else’s “Dad”!
At the end of March, Liu Xiaoli came back from visiting relatives. The main reason was that her wedding was about to be held. This year, she wanted to visit all the relatives and notify them in person.

Since Liu Tianxian was filming, Fang Hong went to pick up his mother-in-law.

My mother-in-law was wearing a purple sweater and a floral skirt with a silk scarf around her neck. No matter how she dressed, she had that kind of elegance and intelligence in her bones.

Liu Xiaoli sat in the passenger seat, untied the silk scarf around her neck, and looked rosy-cheeked and in a good mood. "Xiao Fang, you introduced me to film and television stocks last year and told me to buy them. They've gone up again."

"That's good, you should have made a lot of money!" Fang Hong glanced at her.

Last year he said that film and television stocks would rise, and they started rising at the beginning of the year. It has been rising for a month or two and is still rising.

Although the box office was siphoned off, the large market size made people see the potential. In addition, the liberalization also made people see money laundering.

With this large amount of funds coming in, the price will definitely rise.

"I made a lot of money this time." Liu Xiaoli completely trusted Fang Hong's judgment this time and took out all her savings to buy the items, but she bought them separately.

After all, this son-in-law was right several times.

She patted Fang Hong on the shoulder and said, "Thank you!"

"What you said is too formal. We are all family. Why are you saying this?" Fang Hong said.

"Haha, that's right."

Liu Xiaoli chuckled, looking ahead to the road home, and said, "Let's go directly to Xixi's place!"

She wanted to go see her daughter; she hadn't seen her for a long time.

"You just came back, why don't you go home and rest?" Fang Hong said.

"I'm not going out to work, and I'm not tired, so why should I rest? Go ahead. I haven't seen her running around by my side for so long, and I miss her so much." Liu Xiaoli said with a smile, with a kind of tenderness.

"Well."

Fang Hong turned the steering wheel and headed towards the Yutu Film and Television Base in Huairou.

Since the journey from the city to there was quite far and would take several hours, the two started chatting in the car.

"I heard from Xixi before that you wanted to acquire a company of Bona, and you wanted to use the company under my name to acquire it, right?" Liu Xiaoli looked at him.

When she heard her daughter say this, she was quite surprised at how much money it would cost. It took only a few years to grow the company so big that it would swallow up Bona.

"Yes, it is not convenient for me to purchase it, so I'm sorry to bother you." Fang Hong nodded.

"Have you decided to acquire it? This company's business overlaps with yours and it won't be helpful to you!" Liu Xiaoli said.

"It doesn't matter whether there is help or not. What matters is who Bona belongs to and who it listens to. This is a struggle for discourse power and dominance," Fang Hong explained.

"I don't understand what you have to say. I will register a capital company for you. But I won't be responsible. You two can decide for yourselves and don't let me take any responsibility," said Liu Xiaoli.

Although she said that, in her name, it was equivalent to taking responsibility and being willing to help.

If there are any problems at that time, they will be her problems.

Of course, Fang Hong didn't plan to do anything else. He just held shares in Bona and controlled Bona. He didn't do anything else.

Nor will it let the mother-in-law be dragged into any vortex.

He only did this because it was inconvenient for him. If it were convenient, he would do it in the name of Jade Rabbit.

The car soon arrived at the Yutu Film and Television Base.

The area around the Yutu Film and Television Base is still very desolate, with no buildings and only a smooth road.

But it has been confirmed that Beijing Film Academy will soon move here, right next to the Yutu Film and Television Base.

Fang Hong chose this place because he knew that Beijing Film Academy would also come here, so he would not be too lonely and it would also be convenient to use Beijing Film Academy's resources.

Since many movies and TV series will be filmed here one after another, some extras have gradually gathered here to take jobs and wait for recruitment.

After all, Yutu’s treatment is good, which is an open secret in the industry, so more and more people are coming here to find work.

The car did not stop outside the Yutu Film and Television Base, but drove inside. Liu Xiaoli saw the large statue at the door through the car window, and she had to look up to see the whole picture.

It's too conspicuous, I can't help but see it.

"Wow, this is too big!" Liu Xiaoli exclaimed in surprise.

"It's okay, it's only a dozen meters." Fang Hong said.

"You're being too ostentatious. You should be more low-key. The facial features of this statue look like Sissi." Liu Xiaoli thought it looked very much like her daughter.

"It's her. I didn't know what Chang'e looked like at the time, so I just used her appearance." Fang Hong smiled.

Liu Xiaoli also laughed and said nothing!
There was a security guard at the entrance of the film and television base. When he saw that it was the principal's Porsche, he immediately lifted the railing to let it pass.

"It's been so many years, and the principal hasn't changed his car. It is said that this car still belongs to Liu Tianxian." The security guard gossiped.

"Why should I divide yours and mine?" A Porsche stopped in the parking lot of the film and television base. Liu Xiaoli got out of the car and saw tall buildings with grand appearances. The roadside was also well-landscaped with flowers and plants.

I couldn't help but sigh: "You did a good job, but the traffic is not very good."

It takes an hour to get here from the city. It’s too far and too inconvenient.

"With the production business, how can we put the production in the city? The land price is not cheap. Besides, we need a place like this as an office. The production is all taken care of."

Fang Hong pointed to the distance and said, "Look, that place is still under construction. They are building some ancient or modern buildings as filming locations. What you saw at the door just now were all extras looking for work here."

Liu Xiaoli looked around and saw that some buildings were indeed still being built deep in the base.

It is rare to build a film and television base in an urban area because the urban area is noisy and the land price is high, which would make filming inconvenient and require much greater expenses.

Generally, film and television studios are built in remote areas of third- and fourth-tier cities. It is rare to see film and television studios in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and even fewer in second-tier cities.

Even the suburbs of first- and second-tier cities are expensive.

Due to their characteristics, film and television studios do not require too prosperous locations. Many local governments provide space for free, and some even help film crews build film and television studios.

The crew must be willing to do this. For example, Chen Daren built a city in a movie. Do you think he is really that awesome and rich? It was the local government that helped him build it.

Doing so will not only bring in film crews, but also, if the movie becomes a hit, bring in tourism, which will just make good use of the wasteland and generate economic value.

For example, when Feng Kuzi filmed "4", Chongqing gained another A-level scenic spot.

The filming of "A World Without Thieves" made Labrang Monastery a big hit!
These are all values, and the film and television city is an investment, which means that 2 million yuan was invested. In the local asset statement, it is worth 2 million yuan, which is a political achievement.

Even if it is left there, even if no one comes, even if you can't see the money, it still shows a value of 2 million, so it's not a loss. There is a lot of trickery going on.

So Fang Hong spent 80 million to buy the land!
If it were in other third- and fourth-tier cities, they would be eager to give it to him to help digest the wasteland and generate economic value. Such a large film and television base has an investment of 21 billion yuan.

The local asset value is 21 billion. Do you think the local government will give it to you?
The invisible value is greater. After all, he can bring a lot of crews. Let’s not talk about this, it cannot be calculated.

Due to urban growth and expansion, wasteland in first-tier cities is also valuable, and they do not lack assets like film and television cities, so there is no need to pay for it when you come.

Then the crew will not go to first-tier cities, because going there will invisibly increase costs.

"What is this house used for?" Liu Xiaoli walked for a long time and saw that she had not yet walked out of a long building that looked like a factory, so she couldn't help but feel curious.

"This is the prop library. Any props, such as armor worn by actors and other props used, will be stored here. If they are needed in other plays, they will be used. It would be a pity to throw them away if they are not used," Fang Hong explained.

"Oh, that's right." Liu Xiaoli nodded to show that she understood.

"The virtual reality studio is in front. Xixi should be in there." Fang Hong pointed to the square building in front that looked like the Water Cube.

Many film productions will be shot here in the future, for example, "Nirvana in Fire", "Love O2O", "Princess Agents" and other dramas were filmed here.

Movies such as "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", "Detective Chinatown", "Unbreakable Love Letter" and "Passing by Your World" also had some scenes shot here.

It's impossible to really find a "tomb" as a real scene; it's also impossible to shoot every scene outside.

For many special effects, where there is no scenery outside, we set up the scenery here, including "The Great Wall". Zhang Yimou came here to investigate and some scenes were also filmed here.

Nothing else, this place is advanced and fully equipped.

The two approached the photo studio, which seemed very spacious and tall. People would seem very small here, and there were people coming in and out constantly.

Some people will greet the principal when they see him.

Since this place is very large and there is not just one crew filming, there are several other crews. It can accommodate 5 to 8 crews at the same time, depending on the scale of the filming.

The scale of "Lucy 2" is very small. Only the heroine needs special effects, and there is no need for planes and tanks as the background.

As we walked along, we saw scenes that looked like a cemetery, scenes that looked like a gravel desert, and rivers created by water.

This place is different from the LED studio. Here it is a combination of virtual and real, while there it is completely virtual with no real scenes.

Since there were a lot of people here, Fang Hong asked casually and went to where Liu Tianxian was.

Liu Xiaoli saw her daughter rehearsing a scene with Xu Laoguai from a distance, and called out, "Xixi."

"Mom!" Liu Tianxian's eyes lit up and she immediately ran over and asked happily, "Why are you here?"

"Come and see what you are doing."

Liu Xiaoli was also happy, and she remembered something and said, "Hey, I heard that you fired that bodyguard, right?"

"Yes, he disclosed my whereabouts."

The mother and daughter started chatting, and Fang Hong was there to keep them company.

They talked about the past. After all, Liu Xiaoli was in charge of the studio, so she would ask about the situation.

Seeing the mother and daughter chatting affectionately and the principal being here, Xu Laoguai and the crew members put down their work.

I wasn't working, I was just preparing for the shoot.

Chen Zhixi was also patrolling nearby. When he heard that the principal had arrived, he came over to see him. "Principal, why are you so leisurely and elegant today?"

After meeting him at the beginning of the month, I haven’t seen him for a month. He has been busy at Chang'e Technology.

"Aren't you here to keep someone company?" Fang Hong gestured to the mother and daughter.
