It was still July 14, and as night fell, Zhao Donghuai drove his yacht to the vicinity of Water Margin Film and Television City. When he landed, looking at the brightly lit holiday villa area, he sighed, "This year it is still a bit crude, and there is still a lot of infrastructure construction."

"You can move in next year."

The Three Kingdoms Water Margin Film and Television City is a major attraction and a large-scale filming base. In the future, there will be no shortage of film crews and tourists from all over the country.

In fact, this year, the flow of tourists visiting the Three Kingdoms Film and Television City area has been very large.

It's like building a resort hotel and one or two-story holiday villas near the Jurassic Theme Park in Tung Chung, which is a basic business.

Of course, Zhao Donghuai also knew that there was a flood in East China in 1991 and that in 1998, Wuxi and Suzhou were both super disaster-stricken areas, so the ground chosen for the building should naturally be on a higher ground.

For example, next year, most places in wx city will be soaked in water more than half a meter deep for two months. In Wuxi, Suzhou, and Changshi, the three cities on the edge of Taihu Lake or near the Yangtze River, more than 17,000 people

Township enterprises were flooded.

Even in Hushi and Jiaxing in Zhejiang Province, nearly 250,000 hectares of farmland were destroyed. Even in the Shanghai urban area, more than 300,000 residents' homes were flooded.

In this generation of Jiangnan, Taishui network is densely covered.

Building roads is easy, but building bridges is a big project.

Just as Zhao Donghuai was taking Li Jiaxin and Hong Xin towards the first-floor holiday villa that had been repaired and could be lived in, two figures also flashed out from an exit of the Water Margin Film and Television City in front of them. They waved hello to Director Zhao from a distance.

People also sped up and trotted over.

Zhao Donghuai said in surprise, "Ah Heng, Jialing? Why are you here?"

This is Xu Jinheng and Liu Jialing after their wedding.

Ah Heng smiled politely and said, "Sheng Zhao, it's not that after Jialing and I heard about Director Mai's crew and the deeds of Ms. He Qinghe, we wanted to imitate others, so we donated 100 million to the project together with Jialing

equipment."

"This time, Jialing's folks from her hometown personally invited us to come back and have a look. She and I stayed in Sioux City for a few days, and then came to the film and television city again."

Zhao Donghuai laughed dumbly, "You also donated 100 million? This is not just imitation of Dong Shi, it is a good person and a good deed, and it is worth bragging about."

The matter about Director Mai's crew was naturally proposed by Mai Xunxiong (dongpo flood control) on July 1. So far, Mai Xunxiong has been inspecting the West Lake environment and studying how to dredge the West Lake with the help of a group of water conservancy experts.

Since Dongpo Flood Control talks about drought relief and disaster relief in the ancient feudal period, as well as various flood control and embankment constructions, the film naturally wants to try to recreate it 100%.

It was also since the start of the production that He Qing had some feelings and donated HK$100 million in river and lake dredging engineering equipment to his hometown of Zhejiang Province, mainly cutter suction sludge vessels, bucket dredgers, and mud-water separation equipment.

Including floating boats, long-reach excavators, loaders, dump trucks, wetland excavators, and sludge solidification equipment.

These are all purchased from the mainland, some of which are reliable second-hand cars and ships, and some of which are ordered by factories. Some of the engineering equipment has been put into the river and lake dredging project in Zhejiang Province, and some are still being produced in the factory.

Donating these does not mean that He Qing knew about the floods in East China in 1991 in advance, but that she was born in Zhejiang Province and knew about floods... Floods, this is the natural result of the Chinese nation's battle with the sky for thousands of years.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, water control has always been a project promoted by the government. In the Seventh Five-Year Plan, projects related to water control are being steadily promoted. Another example is the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River. Proposals, research and design began in 1984, and in 1994

It was officially opened and the construction was completed in 2006.

These are all aspects of water control!

It was also since the completion of the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River, including various other projects to control the Yellow River, the Huaihe River, and the Jiangnan water network, that China had occasionally experienced disasters in the 2000s, 10s, and even the early 2000s.

There are super heavy rains and rain disasters, but they basically cannot cause horrific disasters like 91 and 98.

Flood control is indeed a national project that has never stopped in China since the founding of the People's Republic of China and continued until Zhao Donghuai crossed the river.

Under this situation, He Qing was inspired by the script project of Dongpo Flood Control. He directly spent money to buy various engineering equipment, professional vehicles and ships in the mainland, and donated them to the water control department in his hometown for dredging various rivers and lakes in Zhejiang Province.

Not impressive at all.

But starting from this July, she has donated and done something, which will more or less weaken the destructive power of next year's floods in Zhejiang Province. This 100 million piece of equipment can at least save more than 1 billion materials or production in the future.

material.

Don’t be afraid that if you donate things, some of them will cut corners or be overstaffed and not do anything... He Qing is the business card of Zhejiang Province, the oldest and largest. When it comes to cultural celebrities and external image of Zhejiang Province, she is the strongest example at this stage.

.

For the things she donated, the relevant departments would only try their best to do a good job and achieve results, so as to avoid being criticized by higher-level departments.

Zhao Donghuai did not expect that Xu Jinheng and Liu Jialing would also do this. Jialing was born and raised in Su City and did not go to Hong Kong Island until she was 16 years old.

Even at this stage, Liu Jialing is not very eye-catching among the many superstars and big stars in Hong Kong. Compared with He Qing from Zhejiang Province, Xiaoxian from Anhui Province, Zhao Yazhi from Henan Province, and Liu Xiaoli from Hubei Province, her performance is far behind.

She can only be considered a second-tier actress, but don't forget that she is married to Jin Heng and is the beloved granddaughter-in-law of Xu Shiping Wang. She also represents the appearance of a traditional wealthy family in Hong Kong Island.

Under Zhao Donghuai's words, Ah Heng quickly became polite and humble, as did Liu Jialing. Then the two of them chatted for a few words before sending out an invitation to treat Zhao Donghuai and the others to dinner.

Looking at the HK$100 million project vehicle and ship price, Zhao Donghuai did not refuse.

It doesn’t seem like a lot of money now, but we will start dredging rivers and lakes in July this year. By next summer, I really don’t know how many people, factories, businesses, and acres of land will be saved...

………………

After dinner, when they returned to the holiday villa on the first floor, Li Jiaxin smiled and said, "Although those two people didn't mention a word during the meal, the meaning was still very obvious. I hope you, boss, can help their film and television company."

.”

"With Ah Xin's acting skills, does it need to be so outrageous?"

In terms of high emotional intelligence, at the dinner table Jia Ling has been bragging about Hong Xin's (The Legend of the Sword) (The Tricky Expert) (The Beginning) (The Swordsman: The Unbeaten East) series of film and television projects, how wonderful her acting skills are.

How strong.

The only way to say he has low emotional intelligence is to directly ask Zhao Donghuai for help and help those two film and television companies.

In other words, since the two companies were established, they have hired a few directors to make a movie with Liu Jialing as the heroine, but they have not made waves. In Wanjia and New Era Cinemas, they are all (

Blockbusters such as "New Half a Category" ("Havoc in Heaven") ("New Dragon Inn") and other blockbusters are currently being released, starting from 70% of the film schedule.

While it was in theaters, a certain low-budget movie starring Liu Jialing was just used as cannon fodder with a gradually increasing film schedule of 10% or 20%, and its three-week tour in theaters was over.

It's still a profit, after all, the cost is small and the cost is recovered quickly.

The total cost of the movie's script, excluding the starring actors' remuneration, was only 2 million Hong Kong dollars. The three-week theatrical tour in Hong Kong grossed 12 million Hong Kong dollars, 15 million Hong Kong dollars in South Korea, more than 30 million yuan in mainland China, and 3 million Hong Kong dollars in sales in Taiwan, Taiwan, and Stars.

In terms of pure cost and profit calculation, it was a movie that made a profit of 20 to 30 million in just a few months.

It's nothing more than comparing Zhao's, Debao, 100 Years Pictures, etc., it's far behind...

Zhao Donghuai sat on the sofa in the living room and drank a cup of tea, then smiled and said, "It's not impossible to help them, but one meal is not enough."

In fact, he donated 100 million Hong Kong dollars in construction vehicles and ships to Carina Lau and Xu Jinheng. Considering the rescue effect these things will have after they are put into dredging rivers and lakes this year, he can give them a good book.

Isn’t this impossible to explain to the outside world?

………………

a new day.

When Zhao Donghuai got up and went for outdoor exercise, after running more than ten kilometers, Ah Hengcai came to run with him wearing sports shoes, shorts, and a T-shirt.

After a few kilometers, Ah Heng collapsed on the roadside from exhaustion and lay flat on his back.

After Director Zhao's morning meal, Ah Heng came over to deliver water. He couldn't stop flattering him. It wasn't until Zhao Donghuai was about to go to have breakfast that Ah Heng smiled and said, "Sheng Zhao, Jia Ling and I have been studying for a while, and we feel like filming

I wonder if a TV series starring Mu Guiying can be broadcast on ATV after filming is finished?"

Zhao Donghuai was slightly surprised, "Why isn't it a movie?"

Ah Heng smiled bitterly, "We're afraid that we won't be able to make a big movie, so we hire a big director, a good director. Usually there are no schedules, so it's hard to queue up. On the contrary, the TV series feels better."

"But when it comes to filming, since it's a story about the Northern Song Dynasty, we probably have to go to the Water Margin Film and Television City for filming."

The Water Margin Film and Television City has a huge number of buildings from the Northern Song Dynasty, including some official palaces from the Song Dynasty. The Beijing area has a complete Qingming Shanghe Street, so it is natural to film more than just Water Margin stories.

Zhao Donghuai nodded, "Okay, this depends on your production level. If you really want to produce a high-quality TV series, I won't regret the small money. It is worth spending 20 to 30 million Hong Kong dollars for one round of broadcast rights."

Ah Heng sets up a production company to make TV series, and then sells them to ATV or other TV stations. This is a very common part of the system of separation of production and broadcasting. As early as 1982, this kind of separation between TV stations and producers occurred in Yinglun.

system.

Mu Guiying takes charge? This is of course a big subject. From the perspective of 2022, how many female stars have photographed Mu Guiying? Wang Mingquan, Wei Qiuhua, Mai Jingting, Chen Xiuwen, Ning Jing, Wang Siyi, Azhi, Miaopu, etc., etc.

Gone.

Li Ruotong also played the role of Yang Bamei in the quiet version (The Female Generals of the Yang Family).

Xu Jinheng was overjoyed, "Thank you very much, Mr. Zhao. I will definitely hire a big team and spend money to do big things. I will try to shoot pictures like (Female Medical Saint), (Gongsuo Yushu), (Empress Wu Zetian). I also hope that after the project is completed,

It has played a certain role in promoting the Oriental and Five Thousand Years Series products."

"The brand Mu Guiying should also have good revenue-generating power."

Zhao Donghuai smiled and said, "You are doing a big thing to help me promote it. That's fine. If Mu Guiying takes charge of the filming, you won't be charged for the crew."

The next moment, he explained, "At this stage, many projects in the Water Margin Three Kingdoms Film and Television City are still under construction, and filming is not so convenient. The TV series is slowly being prepared."

"Let's see, if I have a chance, I will publish a script, find a director and creative team, and let Jia Ling star in a movie. I can just make a small script and don't expect it to be a big hit. I can still make a little profit."

Ah Heng was ecstatic, "Thank you so much, Mr. Zhao, thank you so much, Mr. Zhao."

Which one is more difficult, filming a TV series or making a movie? At least if you want to be a high-quality product, at this stage, for Ah Heng and his group, filming a TV series is easier.

Even if you bring out TVB retired guest Wang Tianlin and recruit a group of his disciples to sit in, you may not be able to make a popular TV series.

As for these TV series, how much money they make is not important. What is important is to promote a new style and brand of Oriental and Five Thousand Years.

This is an important gesture of flattery.
