Chapter 1427 ASEAN Film and Television Joint Development Group
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
A seven-storey commercial hotel building in the bustling streets of Manila, Philippines. The upper body is a simple solid-color summer light suit jacket, a white T-shirt is worn inside, and the lower body is wearing jeans. Luo Dong, a muscular and handsome man, walks away from a Mercedes-Benz Come down, surrounded by bodyguards.

"Dong Zai, does your joining "Taxi Express" this time indicate that your development center will shift to other cities?"

"Have you and Miss Shao considered getting married?"

"There are rumors that you left Locomotive Entertainment, is the news true? Yours"

"What do you think of Zhou Xingxing's self-establishment? Can you talk about the ASEAN Film Federation's investment in your new film?"

A dozen paparazzi and dozens of movie fans were blocked one meter away by security personnel.

Luo Dong ignored the paparazzi and Yuji's questioning, instead he took the opportunity to sign autographs for several enthusiastic movie fans, and he smiled with the fans rarely, before turning around and entering the hotel building.

The security guards dutifully stopped the paparazzi and movie fans who wanted to break in.

In the past few years, Luo Dong has basically created his own style in the field of action films. His series "Young and Dangerous", "God of Gamblers", and "Thugs in Suits" are not only popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea and Dongying. Welcome, and it has attracted many fans in Southeast Asia.

This time he came to Manila, on the one hand to promote the new drama "Fuse", and to participate in the 'Manila International Film Festival' as a guest.

On the other hand, it is also to cut the ribbon for the platform of 'ASEAN Film and Television Joint Development Group'.

Because he signed three drama contracts with this film and television company: "Taxi Express", "Slaying the Wolf 2" and "Dragon Tiger Gate".

The ASEAN Film and Television United Development Group (hereinafter referred to as the ASEAN Film Federation) was established in 1992. The company is composed of six companies: Manila Maple Films, Singapore Mr. Rabbit Film and Television Company, Malaysia SW-AG Media, Yecheng Mayday Factory, Saigon Twins Film Industry and Bangkok Jiuyi Entertainment were jointly established.

Committed to the development of the film and television industry in Southeast Asia, the overall strength is extremely strong.The slogan "Build Southeast Asian film industry, develop regional cultural characteristics"!
The company's office is 'temporarily' located in Manila.

As for why the registration location is placed in another region, then don’t criticize it... I have already shouted out for the sake of regional culture, why are you still paying attention to that?
The main reason why it is temporarily placed in Manila is because it is very close to China, only 700 kilometers away, which is convenient for the "distribution and export" of movies and is conducive to expanding its influence. The second point is because the Philippine film industry is more developed than other countries. .

What are you laughing at?

In the 19th century, when the Philippines was colonized, there were signs of the film industry. At the beginning of the 20th century, Hollywood came here to make movies. The first film company was established in 1917.

In the 60s and 70s, when the film industry in other Asian countries and regions was still in its infancy, Philippine films had developed rapidly.

More than 500 films are produced every year, ranking third in the world after the United States and India in terms of production scale.

Are you surprised?Quite normal, because at that time many Chinese movies and Hollywood movies would be produced here.

It's just that due to economic reasons, the prosperity of Hong Kong films, and Hollywood's global development strategy, the development space of the domestic film industry has been squeezed, causing the film industry to plummet.

However, the film foundation is still good. The number of theaters nationwide ranks first in Southeast Asia, with more than 1200.

It's a scary number.

As for why the Philippine film industry has pulled down the hips under such good conditions?
No way, in a few years, the Philippine government will stipulate that 30% of the film revenue should be turned over to the national treasury as tax, in addition to 12% value-added tax, the overall ratio is nearly 42%, which obviously restricts the development of the film industry.

So later the Philippines also implemented the comprador spirit of "making is worse than buying, and buying is worse than renting", and it was completely reduced to a film colony.

In this case, the ASEAN Film Federation will definitely not stay in Manila for a long time, after all, this kind of tax is really cheating.

The final headquarters may be located in Thailand or Singapore. As for whether it is a single choice or separate choices, relevant considerations may be taken.

Don't look at the strong foundation of Philippine movies now, but Thailand will soon usher in its own "new wave of movies in the 90s". Later generations, its horror movies are unique in the world, plus action movies, the ace of small fresh movies, potential full.

And what about Singapore?
Strong audience base, strong regional integration, and strong capital capabilities!

In 1993, Singapore had a population of about 330 million. By 2020, the national statistics will only have a population of 570 million. However, its per capita number of movie viewers ranks among the top in the world, and its regional box office drive and influence ability ranks first in Southeast Asia.

People sent the nicknames "Southeast Asian Small Douban" and "ASEAN Rotten Tomatoes"!
In later generations, both HBO, Netflix and Lucasfilm's Asian business headquarters are located in Singapore. This regional advantage is in line with the positioning of the regional joint production center of the "ASEAN Film Federation", and it is also conducive to capital mobilization.

In fact, among them, apart from the above two regional kings born under the excellent matching mechanism of Southeast Asia, there is another country whose film industry is also developing rapidly, and that is Vietnam.

Yes,

Compared with the normal operation of the Philippine government, which is in line with the excellent regional matching mechanism, the Vietnamese government will actively support the development of the film industry, and literary and artistic films will gradually emerge internationally. Chen Yingxiong is the chess piece left by Wu Xiaozu.

Therefore, after careful analysis, you will find that the market in Southeast Asia is actually not small.

The Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia... These Southeast Asian regions have a population market of more than 5 million.

Under the circumstances of its own limitations, facing the pressure from Hollywood and other major film countries in Asia, the overall development trend of Southeast Asian films in a group is actually in line with the development trend.

The ASEAN Film Federation came into being again. Of course, this is a movie account, as well as economic accounts and 'cultural' accounts, so it is not enough to say to these Southeast Asian countries.

In later generations, we began to focus on the 'export' of entertainment to Southeast Asia, which is the so-called 'national drama going overseas'!
The earliest domestic TV series produced in Southeast Asia with greater influence should be regarded as "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and "My Fair Princess".

But intermittently, and did not form a real 'cultural trend'.

The development effect of our film and television export in Southeast Asia is also very general.

Therefore, in fact, the truly hailed milestone event of Chinese film and television dramas going overseas belongs to "The Legend of Zhen Huan" broadcast on Netflix.

Immediately afterwards, TV dramas such as "Langya Bang", "White Night Chasing the Murder", "Story of Yanxi Palace", and "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" all achieved good results.I believe that with the emergence of many high-quality TV series, the situation will improve.

Didn't you see that some brain-dead politicians in Wanwan want to chase mainland TV dramas?
If we only count the period of the 90s, the influence of TVB in Southeast Asia cannot be underestimated.

ATV can't compete with TVB, not only because of the elegance of the local market, but also because of the failure of the development of other markets...

Not wrong to lose.

On the contrary, the situation of Zhongtian Satellite TV in Southeast Asia can be regarded as the beginning of "Tian Hu". "Meteor Garden" directly opened the door to young people in Southeast Asia. Although it did not make any remarkable contributions to cultural output, its influence on young people is definitely not too much.

Coupled with such high-quality TV dramas as "Legend of the White Snake" and "Sex and the City", Zhongtian Satellite TV is also gradually gaining a foothold in Southeast Asia and shaping its own "positioning".

Luo Dong walked into the building, and the enthusiasm of the fans outside could still be felt through the glass, and as the news spread, thousands of fans rushed towards this side——

This is not entirely his influence.

Mainly "Genius Gunner" and "Flash Girl" were selected for this Manila International Film Festival.

The girl Twice and F4 came to participate in this Manila International Film Festival, so it is no wonder why more and more fans gathered in front of the hotel.

Luo Dong has a lot of fans, this is the influence of winning movie tickets, but compared to the 'fans' of these idol groups, it is not enough...

"Here is brother?"

Luo Dong pushed the door and entered the meeting room of the suite. At a glance, he saw a big-breasted brother with a fat body and two K-lights slumped on the huge sofa.

He holds Bingkuoluo in his hand, and Deborah sits on his lap.

Xie Xie squinted at the side, and the coffee table was piled with pesos.

Luo Dong picked up the soda can on the table next to him and threw it at it, waiting for him with a cold look.
