Boss Jia originally wanted to take Chen Hao with him, but Chen Hao refused. If she slipped away, the director would scold her.
Boss Jia shrugged his shoulders and had to let Chen Hao go. However, he gave her his hotel room number. Chen Hao naturally understood what it meant. She would show up on time at night.
Next, they continued to visit the Shanghai Film and Television City. In addition to the Qin Palace and the Han City that they had seen before, the Sui and Tang Prefectures were also completed this time. It was mainly built in the architectural style of the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. It was the smallest area among all the areas, about 1.5 square kilometers.
Because the architectural style of the Sui and Tang Dynasties was very similar to the Song Dynasty to some extent. The Along the River During the Qingming Festival of the Song Dynasty was the largest area in the entire Shanghai Film and Television City.
Under Boss Jia's suggestion, or direct request, the Film and Television City directly restored the entire Along the River During the Qingming Festival. All the street scenes drawn on the Along the River During the Qingming Festival were exactly replicated in the Shanghai Film and Television City.
Of course, just replicating one street was not enough. Along with this street, there were more streets, various houses, and so on. In total, there were thousands of different wooden buildings.
Almost the entire Kaifeng Mansion of the Song Dynasty was restored.
And just this Kaifeng Mansion cost a total of 8 billion yuan. However, compared with the huge street scene of Kaifeng Mansion, the newly built Song Dynasty palaces looked small. They were several times smaller than the Qin Palace. They were probably formed by a dozen palaces together.
Anyway, the emperor of the Song Dynasty did not have a strong sense of existence. It was unnecessary to build a large number of palaces because they really did not need to be used.
On the contrary, the streets of the Song Dynasty were almost the same because the streets of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties were almost the same. Therefore, the streets of Kaifeng Mansion could be used by these dynasties. It would definitely undertake a large number of filming of various ancient dramas. Naturally, it would require a huge investment.
After the Along the River During the Qingming Festival, the most praiseworthy place was the Forbidden City.
That's right. Shanghai Film and Television City had also replicated the Forbidden City. Moreover, because the actual Forbidden City was in Beijing and had not been destroyed in the war of history, the replicated version was almost identical except for the area being several times smaller. Only the core area of the Forbidden City was retained.
However, even if it was several times smaller, it was still several times larger than the Forbidden City in the Hengdian Film City in the other world.
Hua Xia's period dramas had a characteristic. Many small-scale dramas, no matter what era they were in, liked to use the Forbidden City as a palace. Anyway, the audience at that time could not tell the difference.
Therefore, it was conceivable that the Forbidden City of the Shanghai Film and Television Base would definitely become the most popular area among all the regions.
These were the main areas of the film and television base. Other than that, there were some smaller areas.
Among them, the largest was Guangzhou Street.
Just like how Hengdian was created in history, Guangzhou Street was built for the filming of the movie "Opium War".
However, the Guangzhou Street in this world was much bigger and longer than the one in Hengdian. At the same time, because part of the film base was near the sea, they built 10 cannons on the shore.
The cannons inside were all made of genuine pig iron and completely imitated the turrets of the Qing Dynasty. If cannonballs were stuffed inside, it would really be able to fire.
Of course, it was impossible to fire real cannonballs, and the country would not allow such a dangerous thing to happen. However, hollow firework cannonballs could be stuffed inside. When fired, the cannonballs would emit a fierce fire, and it would look exactly like a real cannon.
In addition, Boss Jia even specially bought two Zhenyuan-class battleships from the Jiangnan Shipyard. They were completely built according to the two main ironclad battleships of the Beiyang Fleet, Zhenyuan and Dingyuan.
In addition, various small cruisers and destroyers were also ordered. The size and tonnage were about half of that of the original Beiyang Fleet.
Because of the steel used, as well as various new technologies, it was far more advanced than the warship technology of hundreds of years ago.
If such a fleet were to return to the Sino-Japanese War, as long as it was equipped with real cannons, not only would it be able to defeat the original Beiyang Fleet, but it would also be able to destroy the Fusang Combined Fleet that the Fusang had painstakingly built.
Even the great Far East Fleet of the Ying State Navy could be compared to it.
Unfortunately, in 1999, besides being used as a prop, the biggest use of this fleet was probably for tourists to visit.
In addition, there were other special areas such as the ancient villages of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Great Shanghai, the battlefield of positional warfare, the battlefield of street warfare, the desert battlefield, the grassland battlefield, the Shang Lin Garden, the Suzhou Garden, and more than a dozen other areas with distinctive features.
It could be said that with the Shanghai Film and Television Base, 80% of the movie materials in Hua Xia could be shot in this place. Many movies and television productions did not need to spend a lot of effort and money to build various sets. They could just shoot directly here.
To put it simply, Boss Jia had built a super Film and Television Base that was several times larger and better than the Hengdian Film and Television Base in the modern world.
Of course, compared to the Hengdian Film and Television Base, the other economic areas were also very well-developed.
For example, the surrounding areas of the Shanghai Film and Television Base were occupied by rows of residential areas. These residential areas were all built by Baidu Real Estate.
After the Shanghai Film and Television Base was built, the housing prices in these residential areas all rose to an exaggerated level. The housing prices in the core areas of Shanghai were almost two times higher than the average housing prices in the Pudong New Area.
Just by selling these houses, they could earn back all the investment in the Shanghai Film and Television Base.
"Third Brother, this is the list of fees after the opening of the Film and Television Base!" Xiao Qi handed a document to Boss Jia and said, "This is a detailed list of the fees for filming in different areas!"
"I estimate that as long as more than 200 film crews come to our Film and Television Base to film every year, we will be able to recoup our investment in about ten years!" Xiao Qi explained.
"Oh!" Boss Jia glanced at the document and found that the details of the fees were very detailed.
For example, if one wanted to rent the entire Qin Palace for filming, one would have to pay 100,000 yuan per day.
However, if one wanted to rent only one palace in the Qin Palace, the rent would be reduced to 5,000 yuan per day.
If one wanted to rent the main square in the Qin Palace, the rent would be 10,000 yuan per day.
The Film and Television Base could even rent all kinds of props and costumes. For the same costume from the Qin Dynasty, it would cost 1,000 yuan per day. The eunuch's costume would be much cheaper, it would only cost 10 yuan per day. Anyway, there were all kinds of details.
"What do you think? Do you have any objections to this plan? "Xiao Qi asked with a smile.
"Yes!" As a result, Boss Jia nodded his head very seriously. Then, he tore up the entire proposal.
"Third Brother, what do you mean?" Xiao Qi looked at Boss Jia in shock.
"What I mean is, unless a film crew wants to rent the entire area for filming for a day, we will not charge any fees. It will be completely free!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
