Filmmakers help Liu Yiwei, Guo Taoming and Wang Yanlin appear at the promotion exhibition
At the ceremony, filmmaker Liu Yiwei was the first to offer insights into the relationship between film and television production companies and scenic spots based on his personal production experience. "Attractions cannot bring high box office to movies, only high-box office movies can drive the development of scenic spots." He regarded it as a classic case and reminded the people in charge of scenic spots to form a correct understanding, not to invite the film crew to shoot while asking them to only shoot "the most beautiful story" in the scenic spot or to sing infinite praise to the scenic spot, but to let the film and television creators play freely.
Liu Yiwei introduced: "Filming is also a business. Australia provides a 40% tax refund policy to attract film and television production companies to shoot in scenic spots." He also hopes that the country can establish relevant preferential policies between film and television production and shooting scenic spots.
The new film directed and starred by Guo Tao will participate in the 2019 New Film Promotion Conference of the Chinese Film Market at this year’s film festival. While promoting the film, Guo Tao praised Hainan as a very good location for filming. He believes that Hainan’s unique climate and environment, good infrastructure and software construction, provide filming convenience for filmmakers, and these factors are also important reasons for the film crew to choose shooting spots.
Ming Dao, an actor who worked as a travel show host in his early years and is now a well-known actor and successful producer, was deeply moved by Liu Yiwei’s earlier statement that "making movies is also a business." "The public often has beautiful fantasies about making movies, but the actual execution is a business, and making movies is always short of money." He particularly emphasized the inseparable and close connection between film and television production companies and scenic spots.
Wang Yanlin, who performed brilliantly in hit dramas such as "The Legend of Chu Qiao" and "The Mage of Wuxin", has turned to the big screen in recent years to gain popularity. He took the stage with the creators of the new film and officially announced that the film will start shooting in Dalian next May. At the same time, they also called on local governments and scenic spots to provide more support and assistance to the film crew.
Film group executives share successful experiences, and scenic spot representatives appeal for cooperation
At the launch ceremony, Jiang Ping, general manager of China Film, combined the successful cases of China Film Film and Television’s shooting base, and suggested that local scenic spots should provide a comfortable shooting environment for actors and form their own characteristics, and create a setting environment for the film crew strategically and specifically. Ye Ning, vice president of Huayi Brothers, proposed that the shooting scenic spots should establish a medium and long-term industry-wide plan and learn from Thailand’s high-quality film and television supporting service system.
Li Ning, CEO of Xinli Film, took the production of the film as an example to share the successful cases of cooperation with Hubei Xiangyang Tangcheng Film and Television Base. Xiang Huaquan, President of Emei Film Group, focused on the "BRICS Film Industrial Park" and put forward expectations for the selection of shooting attractions.
In addition, representatives of famous scenic spots such as Hubei Qingjiang Gallery Scenic Spot, Chongqing Chiyou Jiuli City, and Hainan Hongzhou also shared their cooperation experience, demands, and preferential policies with film and television companies from the perspective of the tourism industry during the ceremony.
