Chapter 1610 Young Diao Chan
"The Qin Palace is ahead, and it is also the second completely completed area of our film and television city. Your director Chen Da "Jing Ke Assassination of Qin King" was filmed here!" Xiao Qi first took Boss Jia to the Qin Palace area to visit the road.
This is a very huge area, covering an area of about two square kilometers, and has a complete set of palace buildings in the Warring States style, as if the Qin Palace in Xianyang, Shaanxi traveled through time and space and came to the man's magic capital.
"The Qin Palace's plan was not so fast, but because Director Chen wanted to film, it was in advance. In 1997, the other party opened it to use. Because the building was very good, many crews were reluctant to let go of it when they saw it. However, the theme they were originally filming was not in line with the Warring States Period, so many crews simply modified the script temporarily and replaced the story background with the Warring States Period!"
"In two years, the Qin Palace has received more than 20 crews of filming, earning about 7 million!" Xiaoqi introduced proudly.
Well, as the only profitable project in Magic City Film and Television City, Xiaoqi feels that it is necessary to introduce it.
"By the way, I heard that the drama "Jing Ke Assassination of Qin King" did not seem to be your investment, but Director Chen is clearly your Daqian's contracted director. What's going on?" Xiaoqi asked curiously.
According to the information he received, the funds for the movie "Jing Ke Assassination of Qin" are very complicated, but most people invest in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and Daqian did not invest a penny.
"Because that guy can't make a movie that can make money!" Boss Jia said very simply. He had seen through director Chen Da, and the collective failure of "Jing Ke assassination of Qin" at home and abroad is the best proof.
"To be honest, the thing that guy took was difficult to see!" Xiaoqi timidly and then took Boss Jia to another area near the Qin Palace.
This is also a group of palaces, and the area is a little larger than that of the Qin Palace, and the architectural style of the palace is somewhat similar.
But if you look closely, you will find that the palace style of the Qin Palace is mainly black, but the palace style of this area is red, which has a bit of the flavor of the Forbidden City in later generations.
"This is the Great Seoul!" Xiaoqi continued to proudly introduce, "The total area of the Great Seoul covers up to eight square kilometers, and it is currently the second most land area among all projects."
"The area includes the Weiyang Palace Group, Dahan Street, Xiliu Camp, Racecourse, Ancient Battlefield, and Naval Camp. Most importantly, Dahan City has three complete walls, and one section is directly connected to the waterway. This is a veritable Dahan City!"
According to Xiao Qi's introduction, this big Seoul is indeed very huge, and it almost created a city from the Han Dynasty.
Unlike the cities in many film and television dramas in later generations, those cities are actually just a city gate and a not-too-long city wall.
However, the walls of the Great Seoul City were completely built according to the ancient city walls in Xi'an, and were newly built in the style of the earthen wall during the Han Dynasty. This is a complete city.
Moreover, there are all kinds of facilities inside the city. To be honest, if a Han Dynasty person traveled to this city, as long as he did not leave the city, he would probably not be able to find himself traveling to the future.
"How much did it cost in total?" Boss Jia asked curiously.
"Not much, let's add up to more than 7 billion!" Xiaoqi said carelessly.
"So much!" Boss Jia shuddered, "I only gave you 20 billion yuan, and I used up 7 billion yuan at once. The rest would not be the tofu project!"
"No, there are 4 billion out of these 7 billion, which is the money you paid for!" Xiaoqi said simply.
"We Daqian Entertainment paid for the money!" Boss Jia opened his mouth wide!
"Yes, aren't you Daqian Entertainment going to shoot a movie version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Originally, your crew planned to shoot in the Three Kingdoms City that was built before."
"As a result, you foreign producer was very dissatisfied with watching it. He said he was too petty. He learned that I was going to build a new film and television base from the Han Dynasty, so he took the initiative to find me and asked to use the Seoul as the main shooting scene of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
"As a result, he looked at my original architectural plan and felt that it was not enough. He couldn't take pictures of water battles. The city walls were too small to use helicopters to shoot siege battles from the air."
"What other city is not complete enough and lacks the atmosphere of life during the Han Dynasty. Anyway, your foreign producer finally asked me to complete the building of the Seoul city that had completed more than 400 pages, and I was asked to complete it within one year." Xiaoqi sighed.
"Did you agree?" Boss Jia rolled his eyes and asked.
"Of course I can't agree. I said I only had 20 billion yuan in investment, and it was still RMB, so I didn't have that much money to build a huge Three Kingdoms City."
"Then the foreign producer gave me $450 million to him and asked me to perfect the entire city according to his ideas and build a completed capital of the Han Dynasty."
"$450 million... This prodigal son, the entire series of six movies, has only invested 1 billion US dollars in total!" After hearing this, Boss Jia's mouth was almost tilted.
"Yes, I asked that too. He said it doesn't matter. As long as my big Seoul is built, the shooting locations of the next six movies will basically be here."
"A series of movies with a 1 billion investment, using half of the funds to build a shooting base is a very normal investment plan in the film and television industry!"
"In the end, we reached an agreement, and the film crew invested $450 million, and then the Magic City Film and Television City was responsible for building the Great Seoul according to their requirements. At the same time, the crew can use the Great Seoul for free and have absolute priority."
"After the filming of the movie is completed, the ownership of Seoul will belong to our Baidu Real Estate!" Xiaoqi said with a smile.
"This prodigal son!" Boss Jia complained that the Americans would really prodigal. If it weren't for the Demon City Film and Television City's own industry, wouldn't the 450 million US dollars be all cheaper than outsiders!
Of course, this is just a joke, because the huge investment of 450 million US dollars is not approved by Boss Jia himself, how could it be approved?
However, looking at the magnificent and grand city in front of us, as if the Han Dynasty had re-descended to the world, Boss Jia was even more sure that the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" series of movies will definitely be successful.
And Boss Jia is coming at the right time. The movie version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is filming a plot of killing Zhang Jiao, which is a fighting scene, and Sanying and Lu Bu will appear.
Boss Jia did not alarm anyone, and quietly crept into the team watching, observed the shooting process, nodded very satisfied, and prepared to leave.
"Chairman!" Suddenly, a somewhat surprised voice rang in Jia Yapeng's ears. When he turned around, he found that it was Chen Hao.
"Come with me!" Boss Jia's heart moved, and pulled Chen Hao to his side, quietly left the shooting scene, and then asked curiously, "Do you have your scene today? Will you appear in the first part?"
"It's the show, but it's not me who's the show!" Chen Hao pouted, then pointed to a girl in ancient costume, who was only about seven or eight years old on the set and said, "Here, Diao Chan is her!"
"Young Diao Chan?" Boss Jia suddenly realized.
"Yes, when the Huang army was destroyed, there were actually 8 years left before Dong Zhuo was executed. Historical books record that Diao Chan was 16 years old at that time, so Diao Chan is only seven or eight years old now! Of course I can't show up!" Chen Hao said a little depressedly.
"By the way, the director also designed an identity for Diao Chan, saying that she was Zhang Jiao's granddaughter. After Zhang Jiao died, she was hidden among refugees. By chance, she was adopted by Wang Yun!"
"By chance, she met Lu Bu and killed her grandfather, but she would fall in love with Lu Bu again in the future. She asked me to prepare in advance and deal with the complex emotions between the characters!" Chen Hao said.
"Sure enough, as long as you make a movie, you will inevitably make magical changes!" Boss Jia couldn't help but sighed when he heard Diao Chan become Zhang Jiao's granddaughter.
But this is not bad. After all, Diao Chan was originally a fictional character in history, and Diao Chan's life experience was not clearly described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. So if Diao Chan is written as her granddaughter, it can indeed further stimulate the complexity of the plot.
Of course, this may also lead to the plot developing in an extremely bloody direction, which will test the ability of the screenwriter and director.
