The performances are the same as in previous years, with two shows in the afternoon and evening at the same venue, and tickets cost five yuan.
When the performance began, all the people who had gathered here were absorbed into the three performance venues, leaving no one outside.
After 4:30 p.m., these people poured out of the performance venue again looking for something to eat.
The restaurants near the film studio were packed.
Some fans who stayed in private homes had their meals arranged at their landlords' houses, regardless of whether they were full or not.
In nearby villages, some clever people would make steamed buns and sell them.
Three steamed buns for one yuan, and they sold out in a very short time.
One person leads the way, and others follow suit. By noon the next day, the open space in front of the film studio was teeming with people selling steamed buns and dumplings.
Even fruit vendors came, making it look like a big market.
Zhang Yong was very pleased to see this.
"Xiao Liang! You are a great man in our city. You have indeed done a lot of great things for our city. We have calculated that just these few days of music festival, these out-of-town fans can bring economic benefits of 10 to 15 million yuan to Yahe City."
There are 40,000 to 50,000 fans gathered here. If each person spends 100 yuan, that's 400 to 5000 yuan. Obviously, 100 yuan a week isn't enough to do anything. You can't even go home without spending 200 to 300 yuan.
Liang Liang followed Zhang Yong like a sidekick, patrolling the market alongside him.
The makeup artist drew a wound on his face and put on large sunglasses.
Those bastards originally planned to give him one of those eye patches worn by one-eyed pirates in the Caribbean, and then strap two axes to his back...
These guys are going too far; they're treating their boss like a toy.
If you dress like that, people will definitely think you're crazy.
Liang Liang had a scar drawn almost to his chin on his face and wore large sunglasses, appearing outside with a ferocious expression.
No one recognized him at all.
"Mayor Zhang! Actually, I didn't do anything. I feel a little ashamed that you're saying that."
“What’s there to be ashamed of? Wenju told me about your Big Guitar Project. After several discussions, the Municipal Party Committee unanimously agreed that it is a feasible plan. The city is currently formulating detailed policies to support this plan.”
This matches the information Qin Wenju told her yesterday, except that Zhang Yong didn't mention that Pingshan Village was going to become a city development zone.
He neither spoke of Liang Liang nor asked.
Zhang Yong bought five yuan worth of steamed buns from a woman's stall and shared them with his entourage.
Liang Liang also ate two, the ones with chive filling, and they tasted alright.
"Right now, we don't know how much business revenue your film and television city will generate in the future."
Film studios were still a novelty in the 1990s, and most people didn't know what they were for.
These leaders also only had a superficial understanding of film and television cities.
"If it develops well, it will be very old. It can create tens of thousands of jobs and generate hundreds of millions or billions of yuan in economic benefits every year."
Zhang Yong's eyes lit up instantly: "It can have such high returns?"
"Of course! But expecting this dirt road to bring so many benefits is just a pipe dream."
Liang Liang only said half a sentence, the other half meaning that if the city builds this road, even if it doesn't go all the way to Heidao Township, it should at least go all the way to the film and television city.
Four miles southeast of the film and television city lies the area of Heidao Township.
If the city wants to save money, it can build a road to the border between Heidao Township and Gaobao Township.
This is unlikely. Since it's an investment from the city, the stench will naturally spread to Heidao Township.
Zhang Yong nodded: "This suggestion is very correct. If you want to get rich, build roads first. I'll go back and discuss it with the municipal party committee, and see if we can finish this road this fall."
The distance from the film and television city to the national highway in Gaobao Township is five kilometers.
If the city really wants to invest in repairing this road, it could actually be completed in two or three months.
At this moment, two large buses stopped at the entrance of the film and television city.
The bus was decorated with slogans from the XXXX film crew.
This is yet another film crew shooting at Pingshan Film and Television City.
Since the news that Pingshan Film and Television City does not charge location fees spread from north to south, many film crews have planned to shoot here.
However, for the time being, most of the TV dramas are produced by local TV stations within the province, and there are still not many feature films.
There weren't many film crews in the first half of the year, but many more will arrive in the second half.
The film crew was dumbfounded when they arrived; they didn't understand why there were so many people here.
It wasn't until someone saw the huge banner for the 3rd Maritime Music Festival at the main entrance of the film studio that they understood what was happening.
"Wow! There's a music festival going on here, we're so lucky!" A beautiful actress exclaimed excitedly.
However, the person in charge of the production team looked ashen-faced.
Holding a music festival here is bound to waste time, maybe even several days.
For a film crew of several dozen people, a day's delay will cost a lot more money.
"Mayor Zhang! A film crew has arrived from the film studio. I'll go and greet them."
The film studio managers arranged by Liang Liang were all inside, and in this chaos, they wouldn't even know that business had come in from outside.
Even if Liang Liang makes a phone call, it will still take them a few minutes to come out.
I had no choice but to personally handle the reception.
Liang Liang walked up to the first bus and greeted the driver who was sticking his head out of the window.
Soon, Liang Liang met the person in charge of the TV series production team.
"Are you in charge of the film studio?"
"My surname is Liang, and I'm the manager of Pingshan Film and Television City!"
"How many days does your music festival last? Looks like we came at the wrong time!"
"The music festival is supposed to last a week, but it's only been open for one day now, and there are still six days left before it's over."
The crew leader's face darkened: "If we wait here for six days in vain, the losses will be huge. If it really doesn't work, we'll have to find another place."
Even if they only eat and don't work, the daily expenses of a film crew of dozens of people can reach tens of thousands.
“That’s not a problem. Our music festival is being held in three venues, two of which are still under construction and unsuitable for filming. I’ll give you the main venue that’s suitable for filming, and we can move the music festival to the other two venues. That way, nobody gets in the way, right?”
We couldn't let a film crew that had finally come leave.
Although Pingshan Film and Television City does not charge venue rental fees, the restaurants and hotels belong to the film and television city, and there are also some equipment rentals, which also contribute to the film and television city's income.
A film crew can earn 100,000 to 200,000 yuan a month by filming for several months.
Although it doesn't generate as much revenue as a music festival, music festivals are short-term endeavors, while the production team has a long-term goal.
Even if it's just a change of venue, we still have to keep the people here.
The music festival performances on Yangcheng Street can be cancelled, and the venue can be given to the production crew. There are two other venues available for performances as well.
Upon hearing Liang Liang's arrangement, the person in charge of the production team's expression softened.
At this moment, the person in charge of the film studio also came out and led the film crew into Yangcheng Street.
