The close combination of "high-quality resources + popular IP" attracted the attention of more than 50,000 netizens and created an online feast.

"There is face and money again"

In the fall of 1995, the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women NGO Forum came to an end in Huairou. At that time, Huairou County Party Committee and County Government seized this rare opportunity and began to attract investment and accelerate the pace of opening to the outside world.

On October 20 of that year, Taiwan Feiteng Production Co., Ltd., which specializes in film and television production, settled in Yangsong Town, Huairou. This Feiteng Film and Television City has been officially put into use since 1997, and more than 1,000 film and television works have been filmed, such as "Da Zhaimen", "Da Dyefang", " Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan ", " Kangxi Weifu Private Interview " and so on. This largest Ming and Qing style location in northern China has also become the prototype of China's movie metropolis in the future.

In 2003, China Film Group formally submitted a plan to build a modern large-scale national digital production base in the suburbs of Beijing. In July 2005, National China Film Digital Production Base started construction on the land adjacent to Feiteng Film and Television City. Industry insiders once revealed to the media that China Film Group chose the base here because of the overall environment of Huairou and the existing foundation of the film and television industry. After 3 years of intense construction,

has completed the National China Film Digital Production Base with a total investment of nearly 2 billion yuan. Not only the production process is fully digital and networked, but also the equipment configuration has reached the international advanced level.

The former chairman of China Film Group Han Sanping said in an interview with the media in March 2009 that China Film Group has established a digital film production base in Huairou, Beijing, which not only solved the problem of “losing face” when Chinese film took out the country for printing and printing. , and lost money”, and it has also attracted a large number of foreign companies to China for processing and production. Now it is "there is face, and there are tickets." After

, more than 20 companies from the China Film System settled in China Film Metropolis. As of 2013, China (Huairou) Film and Television Base has achieved a cumulative fixed asset investment of nearly 5 billion yuan, and achieved operating income of 2.73 billion yuan that year. On May 4, 2014, the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television officially approved the establishment of the China (Huairou) Film and Television Industry Demonstration Zone. By the end of 2021, the demonstration area has gathered more than 1,800 film and television and related companies such as China Film, Huayi, Bona, and iQiyi, ranking first in Asia and world-class.

From a film and television city in a small county town to a national-level demonstration area, Huairou now has the core resources to lead the development of the national film and television industry.

"Come with the script and go with the film"

The establishment of the first national-level film and television industry demonstration zone in China has become a milestone in the development of China's movie metropolis. A series of popular film and television works have also entered thousands of households from here.

Jiang Yanfu, a 50-year-old from Shandong, has been in Huairou for more than 20 years and is "half" a Huairou person. In recent years, he has seen the prosperity of China Movie Metropolis. He likes classic cars, and he has opened a film and television props rental company to provide special vehicle rental services for the crew.

Jiang Yanfu, who had never been involved in the film and television industry before, took the initiative to promote himself to the crew and to promote himself in the prop rental group. Unexpectedly, the sales market soon opened.

"Many of the jeeps, ambulances, cranes, and bulldozers in the movie " Changjin Lake " were rented from our company." Jiang Yan said that he had achieved some achievements in the past few years, and Jiang Yan was full of sense of gain.

is not only in the rental industry. As early as the first two years of the establishment of the demonstration zone, the enterprises gathered in Huairou have covered all aspects of the film and television industry chain, such as film and television creation, script planning, film and television shooting, post-production, trading and distribution. Included in the "13th Five-Year Plan" Beijing key project incubation platform "Shadow Creation Space", is also committed to attracting upstream and downstream resources of the film and television industry to provide it with a high-quality environment for creation, innovation and entrepreneurship. At the same time, Huairou District has also created surrounding companies that serve film and television production, such as location shooting, film and television props, and performing arts brokers.

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the industry's expectation of "bring the script and go with the film" has become a reality, and a relatively complete upstream and downstream film and television industry chain can already provide full-process services from pre-shooting to post-production. The upstream and downstream industries of

film and television are in full swing, not only many film studios have settled down one after anotherChina Movie Metropolis has also attracted students from Beijing Film Academy . The "Golden Phoenix" of Beijing Film City will continue to "make blood" for China Movie Metropolis.

On December 25, 2016, the construction of the new Huairou campus of Beijing Film Academy started, and the planning and design was carried out according to the school scale of 4,000 full-time undergraduates. From Shilainiang Hutong and Huanggu Tomb, to Xiaoxitian, Zhuxinzhuang, and then to Jimen Bridge , since this day, a new Huairou landmark has been added to the development of Beijing Film Academy.

"In the digital age, the development of the film and television industry is inseparable from the support of talents, and Huairou has these advantages." Wang Qingjun, deputy director of the Huairou Cultural Promotion Center, said that now, the first phase of the new Huairou campus of Beijing Film Academy has been completed and put into use, the first 1,400 teachers and students from 9 colleges and departments have been approved to settle in. The second phase will be completed in 2025. At that time, more than 4,000 high-end film and television talents will work and live in Yang Song for a long time, and will continue to provide talents for China's movie metropolis.

"the cradle of Chinese film talents" has settled in China Movie Metropolis, and the two complement each other. From

to the end of March 2022, China Film Metropolis has invested nearly 8 billion yuan in total, attracting more than 1,800 film and television and related companies. At this time, the Huairou Film and Television Industry Demonstration Zone has received more than 3,000 filming and production works by the crew. Nearly half of the domestic box office blockbusters over 100 million yuan such as " Founding of the People's Republic of China ", "Wolf Totem" and " Red Sea Operation " are from Huairou.

's modern technology empowers movies while

China Movie Metropolis is developing rapidly, but it has also encountered bottlenecks. The industrial policy system needs to be further improved, the key links of the industrial chain need to be further extended, and the efficiency of film and television production needs to be further improved.

On July 16, 2022, Cai Qi, Secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, mentioned in the investigation of Huairou Science City that Huairou Science City is an important strategic fulcrum for the construction of International Science and Technology Innovation Center , aiming at the goal of a century-old science city, making steady progress, working hard for a long time, and doing well The three articles of "Science", "Scientists" and "Science City" will build a world-class original innovation carrying area and provide strong support for the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement.

China Movie Metropolis breaks through the bottleneck and seeks development is inseparable from the construction of Huairou Science City. Half a year after the 2019 movie " Wandering Earth " was released, students from many places in Beijing gathered in Huairou Science City. This blockbuster completed in Huairou "returns" to Huairou at this time. The National Space Science Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences held a public science day event. Liu Yong, a researcher from the State Key Laboratory of Space Weather, gave a popular science report on "Wandering Earth and Spaceflight", revealing the small details in "Wandering Earth". They couldn't get enough of it.

Experts from the Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences came up with ideas for the script of "The Wandering Earth". Beijing Yanqi Lake Institute of Applied Mathematics has 3 of the 6 major research directions closely related to the film and television industry. China Film Group produced the production of the blockbuster "King Kong River" The management has adopted the production management model supported by big data... The stories of each technology-enabled film and television show that the Huairou cultural industry is becoming more and more "technological" and "digital".

and the "digital construction" results are obvious. Some of the film and television works such as "Changjin Lake" and "Mrs. Anguo" that have been filmed were shot with the most modern digital technology . This production method can shorten the film and television production cycle by more than half.

"The fusion of science and film has laid the foundation for comprehensively innovative thinking, innovative methods, and breaking through bottlenecks under the new situation." Wang Qingjun said that Huairou District insists on taking the digital economy as an important starting point for development, and insists on taking the Science City as the commander's "science city". The new pattern of 1+3" integrated development is constantly building a film and television characteristic industry system, a technological innovation system, and a digital economy system, forming a unique full-cycle development model.

On August 18 this year, Huairou International Film and Television Service Center Government Service Station, the first government service station in Beijing that integrates two-level urban affairs, was put into operation. 61 municipal-level matters have been accepted in an integrated manner, and 7 service windows have achieved "one-window handling", becoming the first international film and television service organization in the country and the city's first. The newly added 106 "Technology Faner" government blockchain application scenarios also provide convenient services for service enterprises. This move will further absorb the elements of global high-quality film resources to gather in Beijing and Huairou District.

In recent years, China Movie Metropolis is strengthening the connection with scientific research institutions to strengthen technical research in the field of film and television technology. Huairou Science City has introduced Chinese Academy of Sciences , Beijing Yanqi Lake Institute of Applied Mathematics and other institutes. As a neighbor of the Science City, China Movie Metropolis needs to actively cooperate closely with these research institutions related to the film and television industry to develop the Huairou film and television industry. Provide technical support in computing power.

According to the plan, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China Movie Metropolis will build a high-quality "film and television culture +" industrial format, an international consumption center city "micro-center" economic business format, and an urban form integrating industry and city.
