The warmth of this film and television base allows the upstream and downstream of the industry to join hands to welcome spring.

Special feature of 1905 film network On February 3rd, the day before beginning of spring, Qingdao Oriental Film Capital issued an announcement, announcing that it would waive the rent of the studio and scenery workshop occupied by the crew during the filming stoppage from January 29th. For the crew, this is undoubtedly the news of spring.

At the beginning of 2020, the film and television industry is facing great challenges. Chen Yitao, head of the crew of "Clear Fall", said: "We only have to hold on to hope and stick to it to welcome the spring flowers."

When the epidemic appeared, Xiangshan Film and Television City, Hengdian Film and Television City, Huairou China Film Base, Qingdao Oriental Film Capital and other large national film and television bases successively issued announcements to suspend opening to the outside world. In view of the fact that some crews have started shooting and the staff have entered the house, various film and television bases have adopted various policies and measures.

According to the dynamic display of the crew of Hengdian Film and Television City, as of January 21st, there were 31 film and television works such as The Legend of Fei’s Family heirloom and Twelve Tans in the shooting stage. There are many projects by Zhao Liying, Jing M.Guo, Yu Zheng and Gulnazar. Starting from January 28th, Hengdian Film and Television City exempted all its subordinate shooting bases and studios from the expenses during the filming stoppage. The room rate of the crew in its hotels has also been halved.

Unlike Hengdian and Xiangshan, the film and television city is mainly located on location, and the Oriental Film Capital Sunac Film and Television Industrial Park in Qingdao is a shooting base with a closed studio. On January 28th, the industrial park informed the crew of the park to stop filming.

"We are now cooperating with the government to take various measures, including epidemic prevention and disinfection in the park, information registration in and out of the park, and publicity on safety and epidemic prevention." Liu Yang, the brand director of Sunac Film and Television Industrial Park, said that the decision to waive the rent was also made in the hope of working hand in hand with the crew in a special period to reduce the pressure on the crew.

Considering the practical difficulties of some extras, during the filming suspension period, Hengdian Film and Television City distributed monthly rental subsidies in 300 yuan and living allowances in 200 yuan to prospective group performances and ordinary group performances of Hengdian Actors’ Union.

Yin Xu, vice president of Hengdian Group, said: "As the big brother of the domestic film and television base, Hengdian Film and Television City should stand up bravely and rush to the front to do something within its power, for the industry, for the dreamers, for the peers, and point a bright light, so that everyone can tide over this difficulty together."

It is understood that there are about 1000 extras staying in Hengdian during the Spring Festival. Zhou Fenglai, head of Hengdian Actors’ Union, said that before the introduction of these specific measures, the staff of the Actors’ Union visited through investigation and learned that most actors are now comfortable in renting houses. Some drifting actors are worried about their future life.

 

"This epidemic is a test for Hengdian and the whole country. Therefore, we are willing to join hands with the extras and crew of Hengdian to tide over the difficulties. " Zhou Fenglai told us, "Life is really a bit difficult for the drifting actors after the crew stopped filming. In order to keep the group performers confident in the industry, Hengdian Group and Hengdian Studios also hope that the actors can feel the care from all sides. "


Yin Xu also said: "We must make full preparations, strengthen our faith, and the dawn of victory over the epidemic will come soon, and the spring of the film and television industry will come soon."

 

Liu Yang told us that on February 4th, Qingdao issued 18 policies to help local enterprises in Qingdao from many aspects, such as delaying payment of social insurance, delaying payment of taxes, optimizing tax refund service, and alleviating the liquidity difficulties of enterprises.

 

During the interview with the base, we saw that the upstream and downstream of the film and television industry understood each other and helped each other hand in hand in the days of unity and overcoming difficulties. This warmth sent by the film and television base is really like a warm flame, which shows a bright spring road for the next film and television development. As Yin Xu said — — The spring of the film and television industry is coming soon.
