"In the future, this area will be the filming base for superheroes. The base is about 10,000 square meters. Based on the special effects of the pioneers, a corresponding studio will be built... I only have a prototype of the Delaware Film City now. How is it specific?
, I can’t describe it yet, but everything is in line with Hollywood..."
"If allowed, I would like to transform this vacant land into a small movie city. Yes, they are now a gathering place for homeless people, but the terrain here is flat. It will be very convenient to transform the traffic. I want to transform it into a small movie city, film, tourism,
Shopping street…”
"Close to Newcastle County in the east, in this large open space next to the Xingyang Cinema Line, I want to build a large theater here. My idea for a theater is to have an oriental charm and a sense of Western line art. The theater can accommodate 2,000 spectators.
, a band performance of 130 people can usually host some artistic performances. When the movie awards ceremony begins, this theater stage, which is famous for its artistic flavor, will hold a grand awards event..."
"In a few years, this abandoned area will become a new hot spot for European and American movies..."
"There is no oppression, no slavery, and no so-called commercial slaughter and monopoly. All we have is freedom, beauty, sweetness, and the utopia that realizes the dreams of many young people!"
"There is a University of Delaware here in Delaware. Of course, if possible, I have the idea of setting up a film school. Of course, this idea is even more distant..."
"Also, in this area, I want to build a science and technology city here..."
"..."
The evening of June 24th.
Under the setting sun, Zhou Yang followed Howard and began to express his thoughts heartily, regardless of the pointing of the team behind Howard.
Howard nodded while listening, and his mind couldn't help but begin to fall into longing and imagination for the future.
Not long after he became governor, he encountered a financial crisis. Affected by the financial crisis, the entire market fell into turmoil and panic. At this time, some corresponding policies and industries are needed to stabilize the situation.
As for the entertainment industry outlined by Zhou Yang, although it has not yet been written, Howard couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
After Zhou Yang finished speaking, he looked at the wasteland in front of him.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, can you elaborate on the Howard Theater plan you mentioned? How can you guarantee that this grand theater is an international grand theater..."
"We can invite some of the world's top music artists to perform..."
"The world's top music artists can be invited here with more than just spending money..."
"..."
After Zhou Yang's talk, Howard's biggest concern was still the preparations for the Grand Theater.
When Zhou Yang arrived at the "Howard Theater", he was suddenly startled. He turned to look at the smiling governor, feeling quite speechless and wanting to roll his eyes.
Before Zhou Yang even thought about the name of the theater, Governor Howard named the theater "Howard Theater".
You can't be a human being, at least you can't be so shameless, right?
But when he thought that he would have to cooperate with Howard to complete some projects, Zhou Yang did not show other expressions on his face, but also laughed.
"I can try... Mr. Howard, you should know that in addition to being a director, I am also a music creator. I have worked with saxophone master Kenneth, pianist Perahia, Austrian guitar master, Frater, etc.
People have contact information. They called me a few days ago and wanted to make an appointment with me to talk about creation. If conditions permit, I hope to invite them to Delaware..." Zhou Yang said
When he said these words, he felt a little sick in his stomach. Especially when he said that he was a music creator, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back. He really couldn't be as shameless as Howard.
But in the current situation, the only thing Zhou Yang can choose is to give him extra points for his next project.
"Okay, okay, we will definitely treat these musicians with the highest standards and international etiquette. You will make a call now and invite them over tomorrow. I will definitely let them. By the way, don't you have an idiom in China?
, is it called "feeling at home"? They will definitely be very satisfied with us in Delaware, and maybe they don't want to go back to Vienna!" After hearing this, Howard nodded excitedly.
Saxophone master Kenneth, Austrian guitar master Frater, music player Perahia...
Howard had naturally heard of these well-known celebrities in the music industry, and even his youngest son was still studying some of the music scores they left behind.
Howard instantly felt the blood in his body boiling at the thought of inviting these famous music masters to come to his state of Delaware. He also thought that under his leadership, Delaware would have a rich artistic atmosphere, and even create something similar to the state of Delaware.
In an art palace like Vienna, Howard was in a state of uncontrollable ecstasy, wandering into the sky!
FUCK!
Howard Theater!
A few years from now, it will remain in the history of the United States, and it will shine brightly because of Ye Ye!
And Delaware will even become greater under his leadership!
"Mr. Howard, it's not possible yet..."
Zhou Yang's voice interrupted Howard's excitement and reverie.
"why not?"
"The construction of our grand theater has not started yet... If they want to perform here on a whim, we can't let them stay in these ordinary cinemas, right?"
"Yep……"
"My idea is that when the theater is built, I want to build a large space in front of the theater. In this space, I can leave the statues and signatures of these musicians. If conditions permit, and they happen to have creative inspiration,
If so, I would like to leave the creative manuscripts of these musicians at the end of the theater, so that the Howard Theater can be imbued with their artistic flavor. Many years from now, the Howard Theater will..."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Howard's face turned red with excitement and he began to nod desperately.
Zhou Yang said "Howard Theater" to the left and "Howard Theater" to the right, which made the governor so excited that he almost flew up.
After nodding, he immediately called the assistant and chatted a lot with the secretary about approving the money.
The secretary looked embarrassed. Spending hundreds of millions of dollars would put Delaware's finances under unprecedented strain. But after seeing Howard's excited look, he finally nodded and said he would discuss it with the finance department.
"Mr. Howard, there is also the Delaware Film and Television Base Plan..."
"I'll give you that piece of land. If you need people or designers, you tell us and I'll give you a subsidy. Let's give it a subsidy of 30 million US dollars!"
"..."
Zhou Yang was quite happy at first.
But after hearing the $30 million subsidy, his face instantly became stiff.
The investment in the Howard Film Festival and the Howard Theater is measured in hundreds of millions, but when it comes to the film and television base here, it is directly 30 million!
30 million US dollars to build a film and television base...
What international joke are you making?
Isn’t this a drop in the bucket?
After seeing Zhou Yang being a little embarrassed, Howard knew that his request was too much. He smiled and patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder.
"In addition to some of the minimum requirements of the constitution, I will give you a tax exemption for one year. For one year, I will reduce the taxes on your ideas and various industries for you, and reduce them by half in the second year... Mr. Zhou Yang, I hope you
Understand me, at this critical moment, Hollywood is blocking you. It’s great that I can stand up and speak for you and let your "Spider-Man" have space in Delaware..."
The sun sets in the west.
The sky gradually became dark.
Zhou Yang nodded.
It's unrealistic to really want to fight Howard with nothing. If you can get tax exemption, everything will be easy.
"Mr. Howard, I hope that movies produced in Delaware, whether they are Chinese movies or any other movies, can have tax support. This should be okay, right?"
"no problem!"
"Mr. Howard, shall we sign the contract first?"
"Huh? You brought a lawyer here?"
"After all, you will be very busy next time, so I think that if I can solve things today, I will solve them today. A steady stream of directors will come and add color to the Howard International Film Festival..."
"no problem!"
"..."
Howard nodded and asked his secretary to take the contract and take a look at it. After seeing that there were no other problems with the contract, he signed the tax contract brought by Zhou Yang under the witness of the lawyer brought by Zhou Yang and under video surveillance.
……………………
Ten o'clock in the evening on June 24th.
There are still three days until the release of "King Kong Tiger".
All theaters in Delaware received an extremely tough notice.
The Delaware movie theaters of the four major theater chains in the United States must schedule "Spider-Man" before 8 o'clock the next day and sign corresponding agreements. Otherwise, no movie theater will be allowed to operate.
Except for the AMD theater chain, the staff in the other three major theater chains became anxious and immediately sent people to negotiate with Howard, but they were rejected.
At seven o'clock the next morning, corresponding government personnel from the state of Delaware even went to each major theater chain to conduct random inspections. Once they found that there was no film schedule for "Spider-Man", they directly chose to close the theaters.
In half a day...
The regional directors of the three major theater chains began to cry out continuously. On the one hand, they urgently requested authority from the headquarters, and on the other hand, they negotiated and negotiated with the corresponding relevant personnel in Delaware.
I also have to go to Xingyang Cinemas in person to inquire about the screening authorization of "Spider-Man".
Finally, in the afternoon, these theater chains finally finished a series of things.
However, Zhou Yang did not come forward, but instead began to contact Zhang Xiaoya, an old classmate of China's "Baofeng Animation Studio".
"Mr. Zhang, I have acquired a piece of land in Delaware and want to build an animation park. Are you interested in coming here to make a superhero comic base? Let's start with the comics of "Spider-Man"..."
