This is the place where the famous TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty" and "Princess Pearl" were filmed. The value of these two TV series around the turn of the millennium is self-evident.
Of course, when it comes to filming movies in Kyoto, the most famous place is Hengdian.
However, Hengdian World Studios was only completed in 1996, and there is no such thing as Hengdian now. If you want to find a place to shoot movies, you really have to ask around.
Seeing Lin Yifeng deep in thought, Meng Ran took the opportunity to ask Sun Lixin a question.
"Master Sun, is it easy to find someone to film a movie in Kyoto?"
Sun Lixin shook his head with a wry smile.
"Oh dear, that's hard to say."
"It's basically at the film studio level; you have to decide what type of movie you want to watch."
"Film studios generally don't take on these kinds of outsourcing projects."
Meng Ran scratched his head.
He really didn't know what Kyoto was like on a regular basis.
In addition, the film and television industry is such that these days you need connections to get into it, and Meng Ran doesn't know exactly what it's like inside.
He could only turn his head to look at Lin Yifeng beside him.
"Yifeng, how about we try our luck at the film studio?"
Lin Yifeng shook his head.
"It's no use."
"Master Sun already said that they wouldn't take on this kind of outsourcing."
"We'll have to handle this ourselves."
Sun Lixin nodded in agreement.
Making movies in this era is not so simple. Whether or not they can pass censorship is one thing, but the most important thing is whether or not they can recruit the right people to start filming.
Film studios generally have specific plans, and they don't pay much attention to the television drama industry.
Even if Lin Yifeng tried to find connections and pull strings, the people at the film studio were generally too arrogant to respect someone like him.
Currently, there are very few film and television companies in China that have ventured into the private sector.
To put it bluntly, this is a small circle, and most of them don't want outsiders to get involved.
"This thing is a bit tricky."
Lin Yifeng frowned.
He had originally hoped to follow Sun Lixin's lead and see if he knew anyone there.
It now appears that Sun Lixin was completely clueless about this as well.
Lin Yifeng never expected that when he was going to make a TV series, the problem wasn't when to start filming, but rather how to find the right people to film it.
"Never mind, let's go eat first."
"I'll ask about this again later."
Lin Yifeng called to Sun Lixin, and the three of them headed to the restaurant.
The three ate and chatted at the table. When it was time to leave, Sun Lixin remembered something and took the initiative to remind Lin Yifeng.
"Young Master Lin, if you want to do these things..."
"I suggest you go to the south."
"It's not really suitable for us in the North."
Lin Yifeng turned to look at Sun Lixin, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"south?"
Sun Lixin nodded.
Lin Yifeng didn't immediately understand what Sun Lixin meant by that.
Until Sun Lixin hesitated for a moment and uttered two words.
Hong Kong.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yifeng suddenly realized his mistake.
If the domestic film market in 1994 was very sluggish, with art films mainly produced by major cinemas, then the television drama industry had an even lower output.
The Hong Kong film and television industry in 1994 was a vibrant and diverse scene.
Stephen Chow and Chow Yun-fat need no introduction; they were the creators of classic masterpieces like "Forrest Gump" and "The Shawshank Redemption."
If you go to Hong Kong, it's not a question of whether you can find people to film; it's that you can just grab a few people off the street, and they could all potentially work in the film and television industry.
Finding a team in Hong Kong is a very easy thing.
"Okay, I understand. I'll think about it some more."
Lin Yifeng greeted Sun Lixin with a smile, then left with Meng Ran.
Back in his hotel room, Lin Yifeng lay on the bed, still pondering the matter.
Meng Ran did not disturb Lin Yifeng.
The next day, Lin Yifeng still didn't give up on the Kyoto line and prepared to sound out some potential leads.
After meeting with Wolf Uncle, Wolf Uncle drove Lin Yifeng to Wei Yuxian's courtyard that morning.
During this meeting, Wei Yuxian looked at Meng Ran next to Lin Yifeng and teased her with a smile.
"Young Master Lin has a lot of influence now."
"I always have bodyguards with me when I go out."
"Is it going to be that I'll have to call and make an appointment to see you from now on?"
Faced with Wei Yuxian's sarcastic remarks, Lin Yifeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He had even told Wei Yuxian that he would come to Kyoto after the New Year.
This one sentence dragged on for a full six months.
On the way there, Wolf revealed that Wei Yuxian had been depressed about this matter a few months ago.
After all, in the end, only Lin Yifeng could play games with Wei Yuxian.
Lin Yifeng was still late in arriving.
After much anticipation, Lin Yifeng finally arrived, and Wei Yuxian began preparing to get busy with VCD-related matters.
"Mr. Wei, you flatter me!"
"I've come to pay a visit, haven't I?"
"You've put me in a terrible situation, caught between a rock and a hard place."
Lin Yifeng made a couple of jokes, which also served as an excuse.
Wei Yuxian snorted coldly and glared at Lin Yifeng.
She didn't bother to ask any further questions about it, but instead inquired about Lin Yifeng with a puzzled look.
"Speak, what do you want from me?"
Seeing Wei Yuxian's directness, Lin Yifeng smiled and asked her.
Do you know anyone in the film industry?
Wei Yuxian was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Uncle Wolf beside her.
Wolf Uncle also looked at Lin Yifeng with a puzzled expression, his tone filled with doubt.
"Mr. Lin, you want to make a movie?"
Lin Yifeng nodded and corrected him again.
"To be precise, I want to make a TV series."
This left Wei Yuxian and Uncle Wolf completely bewildered.
They were all aware of Lin Yifeng's businesses in Zhongzhou Province, which had always been quite successful.
Why are they suddenly starting to film TV dramas again?
This is a completely unrelated place.
Wei Yuxian frowned and asked Lin Yifeng with a serious expression.
"You went out to play?"
Lin Yifeng blinked and quickly understood what Wei Yuxian meant, and hurriedly denied it.
"Miss Wei, please don't joke around. I'm not into that kind of thing."
Wei Yuxian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wolf Uncle's complexion also improved considerably.
