The preliminary plan of the water town project has been unanimously recognized by the city leaders. The approval of the preliminary plan means that the overall framework has reached a consensus. The city leaders will not interfere with the construction process of the entire project. As long as the water town does not deviate from today's plan as a whole, the remaining Wanying Real Estate has absolute decision-making power.

What the city will focus on next is the support and help required for the entire project in the process of launching and implementing it. After all, it is a large-scale cultural and tourism real estate project that the city participates in and fully supports. According to the leader's wishes, the city will provide all reasonable help to ensure that the project is better and faster.

This means that the construction of the Water Town project can be officially started.

Li Mu handed over the follow-up work to Wan Ying's team, including Wei Lan and Song Liang as the main person in charge. Wei Lan has a strong overall view, a broad vision and a long-term vision. Song Liang has high execution ability, good at relationship coordination and real estate project construction control, so when they match them, Li Mu basically has nothing to worry about.

After the meeting, Li Mu held a separate meeting with several major leaders in the city. At this meeting, Li Mu presented them with the plan of his own film and television base.

The city leaders heard that Li Mu wanted to build a film and television base at first, but they didn't take it seriously at the beginning. Li Mu is the most well-known entrepreneur in Yanjing and a world-class business card for the development of Yanjing enterprises. If Li Mu wanted to build a film and television base in Yanjing, the city would naturally have a green light all the way. In other words, in the eyes of the city leaders, there is no need for Li Mu to do a project roadshow to them in person for such projects. It is just a film and television base. No matter how powerful it is, it will be amazing if thousands of acres of land is.

However, when Li Muzhen began to introduce this project, the city leaders were shocked by Li Mu.

The first phase is ten square kilometers...

The second phase is thirty square kilometers...

The third stage is seventy square kilometers...

The fourth stage exceeded 100 square kilometers...

What are you going to do with a film and television base of 100 square kilometers?

The city leaders were dumbfounded and said to Li Mu: "Your film and television base plan is several times larger than the combined area of ​​the three terminals of the Capital Airport..."

Li Mu nodded and said, "This is indeed the case in the total area. We want to build a Chinese film and television drama production base in Yanjing to realize a one-stop service for filming and filming from the project preparation and grouping, starting the filming, post-editing and special effects production."

The leader of the cultural department asked Li Mu: "It seems that the advantage of developing the film and television industry in Yanjing is not great? Our Yanjing has a scarce land and the land use cost is high. If a large-scale film and television base is built, land resources will be a big problem."

Li Mu said: "In fact, from the perspective of global economic development trends, industrial concentration is a trend in all walks of life. There is Silicon Valley and Hollywood in the United States. We now have Zhongguancun. It goes without saying that Silicon Valley has almost gathered the world's top high-tech enterprises and top high-tech talents. Such industrial concentration will greatly strengthen the advantages of concentrated areas in this industry, especially talent advantages. More than half of the world's top high-tech talents are in the United States, and most of them are in Silicon Valley."

"The same is true for Zhongguancun. Yanjing began to support Internet high-tech enterprises very early, set up development zones for these enterprises, and formulate subsidies and preferential support policies. This made Zhongguancun attract more than half of the domestic Internet companies, thus making Zhongguancun a small Silicon Valley in China. Now most computer-related talents in China are thinking that Yanjing is gathering, and the relevant resources of the Internet industry are also gathering towards Yanjing. Resources and talents are concentrated in Yanjing. Yanjing naturally has become the best choice for start-ups. In this way, Zhongguancun's influence in the Internet industry will only become greater and greater, which is the advantage of industrial concentration."

As he said, Li Mu said: "As for movies, we can look at Hollywood's operating mode. Like Silicon Valley, Hollywood is also a standard model of industrial concentration. It not only brings together almost all large film and television companies and builds the world's largest film and television base, but also brings together the world's best actors, directors, screenwriters and other practitioners. Even the post-production and computer special effects of the film and television industry are also leading the world. These advantages ultimately form not only Hollywood's industrial advantages in the film industry, but also Hollywood's unique tourism industry advantages, but also the huge cultural advantages of the entire American culture spread to the world through the film industry."

The city leader asked Li Mu: "Wanying Real Estate is preparing to build a Chinese Hollywood in Yanjing?"

"That's right." Li Mu nodded and said, "It's not just Wanying Real Estate, but also Muye Technology, Muye Imaging and Taobao Technology."

The city leader asked again: "Then what do you think is the advantage of this project?"

Li Mu said truthfully: "The advantage is to truly achieve a high concentration of the film and television industry in China. Now the total production volume of domestic film and television dramas is getting bigger and bigger, which tests the overall carrying capacity of domestic film and television resources. For example, the Qing Palace Drama, which is more popular now, has been released from "My Fair Princess" to the present, but behind this, there are a large number of Qing Palace Drama projects that cannot be launched due to hardware problems. They either wait or give up, and there is almost no third way to choose."

“Hardware issue?”

"Yes, this hardware problem mainly refers to the shooting location."

Li Mu said: "After the popularity of "Return of the Condor Heroes", the demand for palace dramas has increased unprecedentedly. A large number of film and television companies and satellite TV stations are interested in investing in palace dramas, but there are too few venues in China that are truly suitable for shooting such palace dramas. Near Yanjing is the Summer Resort, and in the south is the Hengdian Cinema. The Summer Resort itself is a tourist attraction, so the carrying capacity of the crew is limited. Therefore, most of the domestic palace drama crews run to Hengdian to seize the only hardware resources."

The leader of the cultural department said: "I know something about Hengdian. They are developing very fast now, and the local government supports them very much. The local economic development level is not high, and the land use and construction costs are far lower than Yanjing. Overall, I think Hengdian's development speed should be very fast."

Li Mu shook his head and said, "Hengdian has just begun to transform industrial centralization. Although Hengdian is developing relatively fast, it has a very big disadvantage, which is that it is far away from Yanjing and Shanghai markets. Especially Yanjing, the actor crew is wasting manpower and material resources when they go to Hengdian. Most of the outstanding domestic actors live in Yanjing. If the film and television base can be placed around Yanjing, the crew can save a lot of time, energy, financial resources and material resources."

After saying that, Li Mu said: "There is another very important issue that Hengdian can only work hard on the hardware of the film and television city, such as building a palace complex in the Ming and Qing dynasties, a building complex in the Republic of China, and a building complex in the Qin Dynasty. But this is just hardware. All crews filming in Hengdian must arrive in Hengdian from all directions, then shoot in Hengdian, and finally bring the whole film to Yanjing or Shanghai Stock Exchange for post-production. Hengdian is far from being able to solve the problem of film and television production in a "one-stop" way. Our film and television base project is to build a large industrial center in Yanjing that truly solves the needs of domestic film and television production. By that time, the crew can be formed here, filming here, recruiting extras here, and conducting post-production here, so that Hengdian will be too influential."

A leader said: "We can understand the Hollywood model, and we can understand the one-stop service concept you mentioned, but it doesn't require dozens or hundreds of square kilometers of land! What is it used for such a large area?"

Li Mu switched PPT to the page of overall structural planning and introduced: "What we thought was to build at least dozens of large-scale film and television scenes, such as we could imitate a Summer Palace or even a Forbidden City here. We could also build blocks of different styles in different eras and regions, and even surreal scenes with the theme of science fiction and supernaturalism. In short, we were trying our best to cater to the needs of the crew;"

"In addition, we also need to build supporting tourism industry construction within the entire film and television base. Some large-scale scenes with different styles are used to meet various film and television film and television film shooting needs. Not only that, in our plan, we will build an office area and living area within the film and television base to provide office and business venues for small and medium-sized enterprises in the film and television field, and provide more complete services for crews, such as equipment rental, film and television clothing prop production, crew catering provision, and more importantly, we must also absorb the post-production companies in our film and television base projects. It is possible that a TV series is being filmed on scenes two streets away. Here we have started to roughly cut and post-production modifications. In this way, the shooting time and shooting costs of each crew can be greatly saved."

"All investments in the scene, except for renting them to the crew for shooting, can be opened to the public for a fee, allowing them to visit and experience the field scenes of various TV series productions, and then drive the tourism revenue of the entire film and television base."

After saying this, Li Mu paused a moment and said: "In my opinion, the city that is most suitable for large-scale film and television bases in the country is Yanjing. Yanjing has a strong cultural heritage, convenient urban transportation, and rich tourism resources. Yanjing has so many tourists every year, which is a potential source of tourists for the film and television base, and can quickly attract a large number of tourists for the film and television base. Not only that, we also have the largest film and television talents in the country, and there are four leading film and television schools, including the Yanjing Film Academy, the Central Academy of Drama, Communication University of China and the School of Art and Media of Yanjing Normal University. Together, these advantages are unmatched."
