Chapter 208 Xiangjiang Version Hengdian
Previous Xiangjiang Films started from the 1970s to the end of the 1990s, nearly 30 years, from prosperity to decline, there are many reasons, but absolutely nothing to do with talent and technology.
Hong Kong Films has been learning from Hollywood and the island countries. Basically, all the good things have been learned by Hong Kong film and television people.
So, there is no problem in terms of talent and technology.
This point, after the decline of Xiangjiang Films, many Xiangjiang film and television professionals went to Hollywood to develop, and went to the inland to develop, and finally got mixed up. It can be seen that the strength of Xiangjiang film and television professionals is still worthy of recognition.
Since it is not a problem of talent and technology, then the problem must lie in other aspects, whether it is the intervention of the black forces, or the promotion of protection policies by other countries, these are all external factors.
Look at South Korea and Wanwan later. After the decline of Xiangjiang Films, they also pushed their entertainment industry to Asia and even the world. Behind the entertainment industry in South Korea and Wanwan, they also cannot do without the intervention of black forces, chaebols and other forces. Protection policies of other countries cannot be avoided.
Judging from the feedback of the two places, it shows that the external force factor will only affect a part of it, rather than the main reason for the decline of Xiangjiang Films.
How important the film and television base is, we can compare the inland TV series with Xiangjiang’s early TV series. Let’s not talk about other things, just take the film and television scenes as an example. TVB’s TV series can really be described as horrible.
The entire TV series goes back and forth to those few places, and many costume dramas can even find a few of the same scenes.
In many scenes, the high mountains in the Xiangjiang TV series directly become small hills, the big rivers become streams, and the lakes become ponds, which is simply unbearable to look at.
Those historical dramas are even more exaggerated. Have you ever seen the residence of a king of a country, even the courtyard of an ordinary wealthy family?
In Xiangjiang TV series, this kind of scene is the norm. In many cases, even the dragon chair that the emperor sits on is an ordinary chair, and part-time jobs are extremely cheap.
What do you think of such a TV series?
You asked Tang Zong and Song Zu to hold a meeting in a place that is less than a thousand-foot mansion. Is it plausible?
This TV series is broadcast, if other countries see it, isn’t this a slap in the face of the country?
The brain holes in the Xiangjiang TV series are sometimes really speechless. Apart from the financial problem, there is no film and television base that can be sold.
Heung Kong does not have film and television bases, whether it is TVB, Shaw Brothers, or ATV, they all have their own filming bases.
But, these filming bases are too small, and the directors of many scenes just want to come up with it, but they can't arrange it.
Xiangjiang Movies is better in this respect, but there is really no other way, if they can’t set it up, they will go abroad to find the scene at worst.
But TV dramas are not enough. A lot of filming needs to be done in a film and television base. A good film and television base can make a TV drama a qualitative leap.
The inland film and television industry has developed rapidly in later generations. In addition to the continuous improvement of talents and technology, the film and television base has played a big role. For example, everyone knows that Hengdian Film and Television City has exported many good movies and TV series every year.
It can be said that the development of inland film and television is inseparable from the contribution of film and television bases. In contrast, Xiangjiang does not have this advantage and condition no matter it is now or in the future.
What good are talents and technology? Without a good site, wandering around the streets, small ponds and hills all day long, what can these discharge?
Therefore, if the film and television base is not established, no matter how prosperous Xiangjiang Film and Television is, it will eventually fail.
In the entertainment industry, Chen Yi will definitely not give up in the future.
Compared to Xiangjiang movies, Chen Yi is more interested in TV dramas. After all, TV dramas need the support of TV stations, and the influence of TV stations far exceeds that of movies.
Whether considering the future development of Xiangjiang Film and Television or for the development of his business empire, Xiangjiang will need a film and television base worthy of the name Xiangjiang Film in the future.
However, if he wants to build a film and television base as large as Hengdian in Xiangjiang, it is obviously not enough to rely on his own strength. This involves not only financial issues, but also the British, that is, the governor. Whether the government is willing to support the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang.
You know, Hengdian in the previous life covered an area of 30 square kilometers, and Xiangjiang Island only has an area of 78 square kilometers. The film and television city must at least have a piece of land half the size of Xiangjiang Island.
Such a large piece of land is not a problem that can be solved with more money and less money. This must rely on the strong support of the Governor's Office.
In fact, the area of Xiangjiang is not small at all, and there are many lands that can be used for development. However, because of real estate reasons, many lands that can be developed were eventually circled by real estate developers and left idle.
Of course, under the rule of the British in this era, the power of real estate developers is not so great. As long as the Governor's Office is willing to support it, it is absolutely possible to grant a piece of land in the New Territories to build a film and television city.
With more than 900 square kilometers of land in the New Territories, let alone a piece of land that is only 30 square kilometers, even two or three pieces of land will be fine.
Now the New Territories is under development, and the developed area only occupies a small part of the vast area of the New Territories.
Therefore, whether the film and television base can be built depends not on money or not, but on the attitude of the Governor-General and whether Governor MacLehose is willing to come forward to support it.
But if he wants to persuade the governor, his weight, Boss Chen, is obviously not enough. Even with the addition of Boss Qiu in front of him, the weight is still not enough.
However, it doesn't matter, first persuade one by one, as long as Boss Qiu is convinced, then he can go to Boss Li in the next step, and then contact Boss Shao of Shaw Films, as long as the group of people who can influence Xiangjiang Film and Television are united , there is a certain degree of confidence in persuading the Governor's Office.
Boss Qiu was dumbfounded when he heard Chen Yi's thoughts. He didn't expect Chen Yi's ambition to be so big. In the eyes of the other party, the Song City that I have planned to build with all my heart can be described as a small fight.
However, then again, Chen Yi’s suggestions and ideas are really exciting. Although Hongkong Films was looked down upon by many people because of Bruce Lee’s death at this time, it even made some people feel confused.
However, Bruce Lee's main influence is still concentrated on kung fu movies. Other types of movies and TV dramas did not collapse because of the absence of Bruce Lee.
Moreover, it is a Kung Fu movie, the weakness and confusion are only temporary and will not last forever. Basically, anyone with a little vision can see that Xiangjiang Films will definitely have greater development in the future, because Xiangjiang Films has already accumulated enough preliminary preparations. , It is only a burst point, let it release the energy.
