Chapter 1008 Nanguo Film and Television City
“Two plans!”
"The first one, they came out of the script, they invested in it, and asked our production team to shoot it, and we have the right to play it in Taiwan."
"Wouldn't that be a job for the mainland? We don't have copyrights yet? No, no!"
"The second one is that they publish the script, and they jointly invest, produce, and share copyright in the name of a Hong Kong company. Given Taiwan's prohibition policy on mainland artists, they can choose whether to choose mainland actors at their discretion."
Taiwan has no restrictions on film and television exports, and it is very strict about the incoming review.
At first, films and TV series with any mainland elements were strictly prohibited. Later, some mainland scenes could be played, but actors were still prohibited. Later, it was stipulated that mainland temporary actors could be used, and professionals could not be used.
Then it is stipulated that the roles of mainland actors should not exceed 10%, the total number of mainland actors should not exceed 1/3, etc.... It is a process of gradually relaxation.
Bi Heqing plays the second female lead in many Taiwanese dramas. Why does she always play the second female lead? It is because of policy regulations. So we often see He Qing, who is fascinating and beating the heroine, innocently playing the supporting actress.
By the way: He Qing and Chen Hong are also famous beauty in Taiwan! Jin Ming is also a fat girl who is loved by everyone!
And why is Taiwan willing to open up?
In the final analysis, it is still interests. The mainland market has risen too quickly. Later, Taiwanese film companies took the initiative to seek mainland funding cooperation, resulting in a blockade that is useless.
"Why are they obsessed with the script?" a man suddenly said.
"Mr. Chen wants to do it himself, who can we write about him?"
"Even if we don't need mainland actors, the authorities will not agree to the broadcast if he is the screenwriter on it."
"In order to show sincerity, he is willing to use a pseudonym, it depends on whether we dare to take pictures."
“…”
The scene fell into silence, and finally a senior executive made a decision and said: "Opening is the general trend! The Taiwan market is too small, and the production cost is increasing year by year. If we want to break through, we must have the mainland as our destination, and I agree!"
"I agree too!"
"I reserve my opinion!"
"You can wait for the script to come out and then look at the Spring Festival Gala over there. If Pan Anbang and Ling Feng are really fine, it means that the authorities will turn a blind eye. It's not too late for us to go to the mainland again."
"Then send your opinion over. Be kind of polite. That guy killed someone without blinking. I heard that Zhou Linggang was scolded."
"Yes, yes, Bamboo League Gang!"
"Be sure to be polite!"
…………
"The Legend of the New White Snake" was originally scheduled to be 30 episodes, and the script was also written in 30 episodes.
The story develops until Bai Suzhen is suppressed, Xu Xian practices in Jinshan Temple, and then jumps directly to Xu Shilin's top scorer, saving his mother from the tower to the finale. However, it is too popular when it is broadcast, resulting in a temporary additional 20 episodes.
This is the norm for Taiwanese dramas. They often film and broadcast while filming, and actors play with bottles. They don’t meet their eyes for days and nights, and they have the same sex as TVB.
So I urgently wrote the script and added the story of Xu Shilin and Hu Meiniang. Although it was a little bit bloody, it was okay. The biggest problem was the outdoor scene. The crew came to mainland for about half a month to shoot, and used up the first 30 episodes.
There are no outdoor scenes available in the last 20 episodes, so you can only shoot in the studio, so you can see a large number of fake scenes appearing in the last 20 episodes.
When Chen Qi received news from Taiwan, he immediately notified the capital, asking Liang Xiaosheng to organize people to write the script based on his story framework. He did not intend to change it, but there were still 50 episodes. The cast, Zhao Yazhi and Ye Tong remained unchanged, and the rest would be studied later.
Zhao Yazhi is only 35 years old, Ye Tong is 25, that's right! They are ten years apart.
In Zhao Yazhi's own situation, 35 years old is still a good year, and this woman is particularly resistant to aging. Ye Tong's current appearance may be a little tender, so she can put on makeup to fill it.
Chen Qi felt that Xiaoqing looked old, her facial muscles were loose, and the dubbing took a lot of credit.
It was September. He was wandering around for more than half a year and finally returned to the mainland, but instead of returning to the capital, he ran to Guangdong.
…………
The north is already cool, but the heat in Lingnan is still there.
An inconspicuous car set off from the city of Guangzhou, drove about 40 kilometers, and drove to Nanguo Film and Television City in Foshan.
As soon as the car door opened, Chen Qi and Ling Mei came down.
Ling Mei is 47 years old this year, but she looks younger than before. People say that career is aphrodisiac for men, but in fact women are the same. They are all ordinary people and rarely can match the pleasure of being high and powerful.
"Sister, our face is so grand, even more grand than in the photos!"
Director Chen became Xiao Chen when he returned to the mainland, calling his elder sister a thief. Ling Mei smiled and said, "I added some more decorations, of course it's so grand. Should we walk or take a car?"
"Let's have a walk, I haven't been here once."
"It's done too."
Ling Mei was also very interested, so she accompanied her in person, followed by a group of people, and Xiao Mo and Xiao Yang remained silent.
The gate was built into an antique city gate tower, with three door holes, one gate hole in the middle is the entrance and exit, and two small door holes on the left and right are for internal personnel and vehicles to pass through. The gate tower is printed with gold-plated characters: Nanguo Film and Television City!
When you enter, there is a short corridor, and a building is being built. There are rivers on both sides, signs, maps and introductions.
"A service center is ready to be built here, and all major and minor matters will be handled here."
Ling Mei was a tour guide and led Chen Qi around. Generally speaking, it was a large construction site. Workers walked around, piled up building materials, leaving a road for vehicles to pass through.
After a short walk, the road is divided into two ends, leading to the Qingming Shanghe Park and the Republic of China style area.
"Is there a crew filming?"
"Of course there is!"
Ling Mei was quite proud and smiled and said, "The "Seventy-Two Tenants" cooperating with Guangdong Taiwan and Zhuzhou Film Studio, Hunan Taiwan's "Li Shishi", TVB's "Good Stars" and ATV, Jiahe and your Oriental Company, and seven or eight crews!"
"You really did film "Seventy-Two Tenants"?"
It doesn't matter anything else, Chen Qi was shocked by this.
"You give them advice, of course they listened, and I just built a studio here, and they came here, it's cheap to shoot indoor dramas."
"Seventy-Two Tenants" was a film produced by Zhuzhou Film Studio in 1963 and was a remake of Chu Yuan. Later, in 2008, Guangdong became a TV series, and it was still filmed in 2025, with more than 2,000 episodes.
Chen Qi just mentioned it and suggested that they take pictures of this, but it turned out to be true.
By the way, all regions basically have their own representatives of their dialect TV series, such as Shanghai "The Uncle", Tianjin "Yang Guang's Happy Life", Northeast "Rural Love Story", Sichuan and Chongqing "The Bang Bang Army" and "Commander Haer"...
Chen Qi first went to the Republic of China area and was divided into two parts: one is the northern style and the other is the southern style. The south is mainly divided into three parts: Guangzhou Street, Hong Kong Street and Macau Street.
TVB "Good Stars" is being filmed, Wen Zhaolun, Zeng Huaqian, Wu Dairong, Qin Pei, Tao Dayu, all of them are familiar faces.
A Shaw Museum was built in the Republic of China region, which was originally agreed to Run Run Shaw.
Chen Qi observed carefully and found that although this film and television industry chain is still very simple, it has been initially formed, including clothing, props, food, vehicle transportation, extras, warehouses, hotels, etc.
The surrounding villagers have contracted non-technical positions, their income has increased, and young people have come to play extras, and the entire area is filled with a positive force.
The overall planning of this film and television city is much larger than the original version. It includes hotels, logistics services, etc., and the total area can cover 6,000 acres. Of course, it is not as good as Hengdian, which has 45,000 acres.
Otherwise, why is it called Hengguo?
