There is a seven-story commercial hotel building in the bustling streets of Manila, Philippines. Luo Dong, who is wearing a simple solid-color summer suit jacket, a white T-shirt underneath, and jeans on the lower body, is walking out of a Mercedes-Benz car.

Come down, surrounded by bodyguards.

"Dong Zai, does your joining "Taxi Express" this time indicate that your development center will shift to other markets?"

"Have you and Miss Shao considered getting married?"

"There are rumors that you left Lokomotiv Entertainment. Is the news true? Yours."

"What do you think of Zhou Xingxing's decision to start his own business? Can you talk about the ASEAN Film Federation's investment in your new movie?"

A dozen paparazzi and dozens of movie fans were kept one meter away by security personnel.

Luo Dong ignored the questioning of these paparazzi and entertainment reporters. Instead, he took the opportunity to sign a few autographs for several enthusiastic fans, and after a rare smile with the fans, he turned and entered the hotel building.

The security staff conscientiously stopped the paparazzi and movie fans who wanted to break in.

In the past few years, Luo Dong has basically created his own style in the field of action films. His "Young and Dangerous", "God of Gamblers" and "Thugs in Suits" series are not only popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea and Japan.

Welcome, it has attracted many movie fans in Southeast Asia.

This time he came to Manila to promote his new movie "The Fuse" and to participate in the Manila International Film Festival as a guest.

On the other hand, it is also to cut the ribbon for the ‘ASEAN Film and Television Joint Development Group’ platform.

Because he signed three drama contracts with this film and television company: "Taxi Express", "Slaying the Wolf 2" and "Dragon and Tiger Gate".

The ASEAN Film and Television Joint Development Group (hereinafter referred to as the ASEAN Film and Television Federation) was established in 1992. The company is composed of six companies: Manila Films, Mr. Rabbit Films of Singapore, SW-AG Media of Malaysia, Coconut City Mayday Factory, Saigon Twin Films

Industry and Bangkok Nine Entertainment were jointly established.

Committed to the development of the Southeast Asian film and television industry, the overall strength is extremely strong. The slogan is "Build the Southeast Asian film industry and develop regional cultural characteristics"!

The company's office is 'temporarily' located in Manila.

As for why the registration location is placed in other regions, then don’t find fault... You’ve already said it’s for regional culture, why are you still paying attention to that?

The main reason why it is temporarily placed in Manila is that it is very close to China, only 700 kilometers away, which facilitates the distribution and export of movies and expands its influence. The second reason is that the Philippine film industry is more developed than other countries.

.

Then why are you laughing?

In the 19th century, when the Philippines was colonized, there was a budding film industry. At the beginning of the 20th century, Hollywood came here to make movies. The first film company was established in 1917.

In the 1960s and 1970s, when the film industries in other Asian countries and regions were still in their initial stages of ignorance, Philippine films were already developing rapidly.

More than 500 movies are produced every year, ranking third in the world after the United States and India in terms of production scale.

Are you surprised? It’s normal, because many Chinese and Hollywood movies were produced here at that time.

However, economic reasons, the booming popularity of Hong Kong films, and Hollywood's global development strategy have squeezed the development space of the domestic film industry, causing the film industry to plummet.

However, the film foundation is still good, and the number of theaters nationwide ranks first in Southeast Asia, with more than 1,200.

It's a scary number.

As for why the Philippine film industry has grown so big under such good conditions?

There is no way. In a few years, the Philippine government will stipulate that 30% of film revenue must be paid to the national treasury as taxes. In addition, there will be a 12% value-added tax, and the overall ratio is nearly 42%, which obviously restricts the development of the film industry.

So later, the Philippines also implemented the comprador spirit of ‘it is better to build than to buy, and it is better to rent than to buy’, and it completely became a film colony.

Under such circumstances, the ASEAN Film Federation will definitely not be located in Manila for a long time. After all, this kind of tax is really a scam.

The final headquarters may be located in Thailand or Singapore. As for whether to choose a single choice or separate choices, relevant considerations may be made.

Although the Philippine film base is strong now, Thailand will soon usher in its own '90s new wave of films'. In the future, its horror films will be unique in the world, coupled with action films and fresh films, it has great potential.

Complete.

And what about Singapore?

Strong audience base, strong regional unity, and strong capital capabilities!

In 1993, Singapore's population was about 3.3 million, and in 2020, the national population was only 5.7 million. However, its per capita number of moviegoers ranks among the top in the world, and its regional box office driving and influencing ability ranks first in Southeast Asia.

People gave it the nicknames ‘Southeast Asian Little Douban’ and ‘ASEAN Rotten Tomatoes’!

Later, the Asian business headquarters of HBO, Netflix and Lucasfilm were all located in Singapore. This regional advantage was in line with the positioning choice of the ‘ASEAN Film Federation’ as a regional joint production center and was also conducive to capital mobilization.

In fact, among them, in addition to the two regional kings born under the excellent matching mechanism in Southeast Asia, there is another country whose film industry is also developing rapidly, and that is Vietnam.

Yes,

Compared with the normal operation of the Philippine government, which is in line with the regional excellent matching mechanism, the Vietnamese government will actively support the development of the film industry, and literary and artistic films will gradually emerge internationally. Chen Yingxiong is the chess piece left by Wu Xiaozu.

Therefore, after careful analysis, you will find that the market in Southeast Asia is not actually small.

The Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia...the population market in these Southeast Asian regions exceeds 500 million.

With its own limitations and the pressure from Hollywood and major film countries in Asia, the overall development trend of Southeast Asian films is in line with the development trend.

The ASEAN Film Federation came into being again. Of course, this is a film account, as well as an economic account and a 'cultural' account, which is not enough to say to these Southeast Asian countries.

In later generations, we began to focus on the ‘export’ of cultural entertainment to Southeast Asia. This is the so-called ‘going overseas’ of Chinese dramas!

The earliest domestic TV series produced in Southeast Asia with greater influence should be regarded as "Journey to the West", "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and "Huan Zhu Ge Ge".

But it was intermittent and did not form a real "cultural trend".

Our film and television export development results in Southeast Asia are also very average.

Therefore, in fact, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is actually broadcast on Netflix and is truly regarded as a milestone event for Chinese film and television dramas to go overseas.

Immediately afterwards, TV series such as "Nirvana in Fire", "White Night", "Story of Yanxi Palace", "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" and other TV series all achieved good results. I believe that with the emergence of many high-quality TV series, the situation has improved.

.

Didn’t you see that a certain idiot politician in Taiwan later wanted to follow mainland TV series?

If we only count the period of the 1990s, TVB’s influence in Southeast Asia cannot be underestimated.

ATV cannot compete with TVB, not only because of the elegance of the local market, but also because of the failure in the development of foreign markets...

It’s not a fair loss.

On the contrary, Zhongtian Satellite TV's situation in Southeast Asia can be regarded as a "Tianhu" start. "Meteor Garden" directly opened the door to the young people in Southeast Asia. Although it did not make any remarkable contribution in terms of cultural export, it has made great contributions to the development of young people.

The influence is absolutely no less than Duo Yi.

Coupled with high-quality TV series such as "The Legend of White Snake" and "Sex and the City", Zhongtian TV is gradually establishing its own foothold in Southeast Asia and shaping its own 'positioning'.

Luo Dong walked into the building. The enthusiasm of the movie fans outside could still be felt through the glass, and as the news spread, thousands of fans came towards this direction——

This is not entirely his influence.

Mainly "The Genius" and "Glitter Girl" were selected for this Manila International Film Festival.

The girl Twice and F4 came together to participate in the Manila International Film Festival. It is no wonder why more and more fans gathered in front of the hotel.

There are many fans of Luo Dong. This is the influence gained by winning movie tickets, but compared to the 'fans' of these idol groups, it is a bit insufficient...

"Here you come, brother?"

Luo Dong pushed the door open and entered the conference room of the suite. At first glance, he saw a fat man with big breasts and two K-lamps lying on the huge sofa.

He was holding Bingkuoluo in his hand and Deborah was sitting on his lap.

Beside him, Mr. Xie looked askance at him, and there were peso coins piled on the coffee table.

Luo Dong picked up the can on the table next to him and smashed it over, giving him a cold look.
