Chapter 424 Corleone Film Academy Chapter 425 Choosing a Location for the Film Academy(3/3)
Pang Mao immediately understood my meaning, and then he casually found an excuse to follow me aside.
"What's the matter?" Pang Mao looked at me and asked in a low voice.
I smacked my lips and said, "I want to rebuild a large comprehensive film school based on Vitagraf, Los Angeles."
"Build a film academy! Andre, why did you suddenly want to build a film academy?" Pang Maodai said.
"Don't worry about this. I just want to ask you, can your Los Angeles city government give me the area around the Vitagraf Film Academy?" I said straight to the point.
"Grade?!" Pang Mao's face suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment. He said, "Andre. If you told me two months in advance, I might be able to solve this for you, but it won't work now."
"Why? Can someone else build a movie school?" I grinned.
Pang Mao shook his head: "Not this. The land around the Vitagraf Film School has been allocated to some consortiums, and construction will be started soon. And all agreements have been signed with the government. I have no choice."
"It's not like this. Can other places be assigned to me?" I was very upset.
Pang Mao looked at me and said, "How big do you want?"
I gestured for a moment and said, "No matter how you have to be as big as the site of DreamWorks headquarters."
"That's a big piece of land!" Pang Mao screamed in shock.
"What, can't it be?" I gave him a blank look.
Pang Mao laughed and said, "No, it's not that bad, if you want to make a place like this, you can get it. But it's not in the mainland of Los Angeles. You don't know the situation now. The US economy is moving forward like a train, and the land in Los Angeles is becoming more and more precious. It has been almost booked. Such a large piece of land is probably not found in the city, but outside the city, there are."
I shook my head: "The movie school will naturally be built in the city, and there are desolate places outside Los Angeles. Could you please let me build the school on the Gobi? No."
Pang Maowei said: "Andre. There is only one way at the moment."
"Is there no other solution besides this?" I was a little overwhelmed.
Pang Mao thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible. Andre, you don't need to build a film school in Los Angeles."
"What's the meaning?"
"Isn't Hollywood a great place?? Build the school here. People need resources and resources. After it is built, the school can interact with Hollywood at any time, and students can also go to Hollywood to experience it at any time. Isn't it much better than building it in Los Angeles?" Pang Mao squeezed his eyes.
"Yes, why didn't I think of this! Then if you were in Hollywood, could you give me a piece of land?" I asked.
Pang Mao smiled: "It's not difficult to get a piece of land in Hollywood. Do you want to get a free land?"
"Nonsense! Otherwise, why do you do it??" I smirked and said, "Think about it, I can't make much money by establishing this film company. It's not for Hollywood or the country. For such motivations, the country naturally needs to support me."
Pang Mao spread his hands, looked at me helplessly, and said, "Then where do you want?"
Pang Maodi's question made me think.
For a film school, choosing a location is a big deal. It can be said that choosing where to build Hollywood will definitely have an impact on the development of the film school.
"What do you think?" I decided to listen to Pang Mao's opinion first. After all, this guy is the mayor of Los Angeles and is very experienced in such things.
Pang Mao pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Andre, once this film academy is established, will your Dream Factory control it?"
"Of course. Otherwise, we would have been in vain." I don't need to say some high-sounding words with Pang Mao.
Pang Mao smiled and said, "That's easy. The school's campus cannot be chosen in a prosperous place in Hollywood, such as next to the Avenue of Stars. It's a bit difficult to implement, and it has a bad impact on the school spirit. It cannot be chosen in a too remote place. In that case, there will be hidden dangers in public security and you will not be able to manage it. I think, just choose Harvey neighborhood."
"Harvey Awards neighborhood?! Just kidding! That place is full of houses now. Could it be that you asked me to demolish the houses of Harvey people?? No." I waved my hand.
Pang Mao looked at me with disagreement and was amused, and said, "Andre, why are you so confused? Who asked you to build the school on the street? Isn't there a wasteland not far from the Harvey Award? I have been to that place before. It's very well-regarded. It takes only ten minutes to get to the center of Hollywood. It's under the nose of your DreamWorks. It's not a problem for you to manage it, let alone someone will destroy and dig your corner after the school is built. Moreover, the land is a wasteland on the surface, and there is no big problem for me to approve it."
When Pang Mao said this, my eyes lit up.
He was right. Not far from Harvey Street, there was a large wasteland. Originally, a capitalist wanted to establish a film printing factory. Later, the plan was just selected and the plan was miscarried for various reasons. It has been deserted for so long. I originally planned to wait for DreamWorks to develop and build a studio there. Now that I think about it, it is an ideal campus site for the film academy!
The place has convenient transportation, not far from downtown Hollywood, and various resources and information can be continuously transmitted. Moreover, this place is next to DreamWorks, so we have no problem in controlling it.
"Okay. Then let's make up that. Pang Mao, I'll leave this matter to you." I nodded and agreed to Pang Mao's proposal.
"When will you get it?" Pang Mao asked.
