Changyuan county government invested 20 million yuan to shoot TV series on June 25th, 2007 19:45 Law and Life Magazine reporter/Sun Xin Si Lichen On April 7th, a TV series named "Dachangyuan" started in Beijing. It is said that the goal of this drama is the Korean drama Dae Jang Geum. Whether it can set off an ever-present upsurge in China is unknown, but in order to make up for the shooting expenses, it has already become "massive" in Changyuan, Henan Province. Entrepreneurs complain that the news shot by Dayangyuan is still overwhelming. Some people who claimed to be entrepreneurs in Changyuan, Henan Province complained to this magazine that local enterprises were forced to invest in shares by the county government in order to make this TV series. However, according to related news reports, "Dachangyuan" plans to shoot 40 episodes, costing 20 million yuan, all of which are funded by the Changyuan county government. Who is the sponsor of this TV series? The reporter consulted the background materials about Changyuan County. Changyuan County is located in the northeast of Henan Province and belongs to Xinxiang City. This used to be a poor county in the Yellow River beach area. In recent years, the economy has advanced by leaps and bounds, especially the private economy has developed rapidly. At present, the placanticline has an area of 1.050 square kilometers and a population of 735 1.000. The per capita disposable income of urban residents reached 5836 yuan, and the per capita net income of farmers reached 3600 yuan, ranking 33rd among 1008 counties in Henan Province in 2006. In late April, our reporter contacted several entrepreneurs who broke the news. In order to "live here in the future", they asked not to be named. A private enterprise boss said: "This matter has documents. But what the leader said is different from the document. The leader said that the county (meeting) should inform who is worthy, and at least donate 500,000 yuan to sponsor. Otherwise, it is not to support the development of the county, but to confront the government, and you should consider the consequences yourself. " Other entrepreneurs have said that they dare not disclose this matter. What kind of TV series is called or forced by the county party Committee, with such great charm and so close relationship with the government? The reporter learned from relevant news reports that this is a TV series closely related to Changyuan County, which tells the legendary experience of Changyuan chefs and reflects the long cooking culture of Changyuan, the hometown of chefs. It is defined by the county party Committee and the county government as "a good thing that benefits the present and contributes to the future." Therefore, "the county party Committee and the county government decided to plan and shoot" this TV series. According to Xinxiang Municipal Bureau of Commerce, investing 25 million yuan to shoot 40 TV series "Dachangyuan" reflecting Changyuan's long cooking culture is one of the measures for Changyuan County to strengthen its cooking industry and make it "the hometown of chefs in China". At the end of April, our reporter came to Changyuan County and asked to interview the Propaganda Department of the county party committee. When the staff of the propaganda department heard about it, they said they didn't understand it and waited for the minister to come back before making a decision. However, I showed the reporter the "Notes on Individual Enterprises Reflecting the TV Series in Dachangyuan" they gave to the Propaganda Department of Xinxiang Municipal Committee. This situation shows that Dachangyuan was "planned and shot by Changyuan County" with the purpose of "promoting Changyuan's long cooking history and culture, so as to render and carry forward the Central Plains culture, and then promote Changyuan, Xinxiang and Henan". "At the beginning of the decision to shoot" Da Changyuan ",the county party committee and government held many meetings at different levels to solicit opinions from all walks of life", and reached the conclusion that "once the TV series is broadcast, it will benefit the vast number of enterprises and the people of the county". "In order to encourage enterprises and individuals to participate, the county party Committee and the government have also formulated preferential policies, proposing that the county government give preferential policies to enterprises participating in the TV series" Dachangyuan "through corporate tax rebates, land use and other aspects to avoid damage to the economic interests of enterprises." In the evening, Ning Hui, member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda Department, came back from the countryside. She simply told reporters: "apportioning to enterprises is completely out of thin air and nonsense. In today's society, no matter how many good deeds you want to do, there are always individuals who don't understand, don't support, or even have a bad attitude, have ulterior motives, and make rumors out of nothing, which interferes with and hinders the development of the cause. " Therefore, she refused to help reporters contact and interview the relevant leaders of the county party Committee. However, she admitted that the county party Committee did hold a meeting for this purpose, demanding "planning and shooting TV dramas in accordance with the operation mode of government guidance, market operation, company operation and enterprise management." To this end, we established Culture Co., Ltd.. In the formation of the company, it is entirely based on the principle that enterprises and individuals voluntarily participate in the operation of TV dramas. " Regarding the preferential policies formulated by the county party Committee and the county government to encourage enterprises and individuals to participate, the reporter asked: "The state has a unified policy on tax refund and land acquisition. How to tilt as a county-level government? How to operate specifically? Will it cause enterprises to be suspected of guaranteeing tickets? " However, this question did not get a positive answer from Ning Hui and refused to provide materials about this meeting. Subsequently, the reporter got the Summary of the Symposium on the Preparation of Dachangyuan and Enterprise TV Series forwarded by the county party committee and the county government office on March 20th, which wrote: "On March 12, Liu Sen, secretary of the county party committee, presided over a symposium to mobilize the people and enterprises in the county to actively participate in and support the preparation of Dachangyuan TV series." Some private entrepreneurs attended the meeting. The meeting held that the successful shooting of TV series will play an inestimable role in the future and change the development process of Changyuan. Therefore, entrepreneurs are required to look at the shooting of the TV series "Dayangyuan" from a political perspective. As long as we are in Changchun, we must pay attention to Dachangyuan, actively participate in the preparation of Dachangyuan TV series, and be a qualified entrepreneur and a noble entrepreneur. " The meeting decided: "Preferential policies will be implemented for enterprises that participate in the filming of the TV series" Da Changyuan "in our county. If there is a loss in the operation of TV series, the county government will give preferential policies through tax refund and land use for enterprises to prevent the economic interests of enterprises from being damaged. If the enterprise has funds, it will contribute by itself; If money is tight, you can find a loan yourself; If the loan guarantee unit cannot be found, the county finance can be used as the guarantee unit of the enterprise, and the enterprise can borrow from the county (credit) association. " Minister Ning explained that the government's guarantee was suspected of violating national laws. She knew it was wrong. She found it at the end of the meeting and immediately reported it to her superiors, demanding that it be corrected as soon as possible and explaining it to the entrepreneurs. However, she could not explain why this clause had not been revised in the minutes of the meeting released on the 20th. As a result of this meeting, there are 65,438+065,438+0 enterprises whose original shareholders agreed to increase their capital by 500,000 yuan, and 65,438+04 enterprises plan to participate in new shares. Minister Ning said that he had collected 20 million yuan, but it was not in one step. Moreover, she has repeatedly stressed that entrepreneurs voluntarily invest in the play because of the savvy of businessmen. "Shooting" Da Changyuan "is of great significance to improve the popularity of Changyuan and promote its economic development. This is a great event for the people of the county. Is it wrong to mobilize the people of the county to actively participate in, care for and support TV dramas? Is there anything wrong with our country hosting the Olympic Games, mobilizing the people of the whole country to participate and actively supporting the Olympic Games? " It can be seen that improving popularity has always been the idea of Changyuan. In 2003, it was officially named as "Hometown of Chefs in China" by China Cuisine Association, and was awarded the honorary title of "Anti-corrosion Capital of China" by China Anti-corrosion Technology Association in 2005. On June 8th, 2006, Changyuan County was officially named as "the hometown of hoisting machinery in China" by China Heavy Machinery Industry Association. The Good Tradition of Changyuan Entrepreneurs In order to convince entrepreneurs to voluntarily buy shares, an official of the Propaganda Department of the county party Committee told reporters that the office building and the square in front of the county party Committee are all built and maintained by private enterprises, and the county party Committee never pays a penny. Therefore, "private enterprises in our county have a good tradition of doing good deeds." The reporter saw that the county office building 1 1 is high and covers an area of 100 mu. It is tall and majestic, built by Li Hong Group, a leading local enterprise. The square covers an area of 1.20 mu. The grass is lush and tidy, and the workers are mowing the lawn. The sculpture on the square says that "Yilong Square" is invested by Yilong Company 1.7 million yuan for construction and management. Xu, general manager of Yi Long Company, said: "At that time, the county decided to build the project through bidding, and we estimated that the investment might not be recovered. But popularity is benefit. " Changyuan used to be a poor county in the Yellow River beach area, but now it has wide streets and neat buildings, quite like a coastal city. At night, the locust tree lights on the roadside are dazzling. There are no old houses, no old houses or even houses here, which are rare, like a new city protruding from an empty land. The main road of the city is named "Li Hong Avenue", and "Li Hong New Village" is written in front of large buildings. Traces of corporate "doing good" can be seen everywhere. On the streets of Lu Yu, reporters casually asked about the compulsory fund-raising for TV dramas. The interviewee actually nodded and said, "Yes, yes, forcing those bosses to pay." After returning to Beijing from the interview in Changyuan, the reporter wrote a report (the first draft) on what he saw and heard, seeking the opinions of relevant departments and leaders in Changyuan. Surprisingly, in the reply of the Propaganda Department of Changyuan County Committee, this TV series originally invested by Changyuan was called "attracting investment for the whole country and raising shooting funds". The 20 million yuan mentioned by Minister Ning has become "so far, foreign enterprises and units have only invested several million". At the same time, the reply specifically pointed out that "Changyuan has developed from a poor county in the Yellow River beach area to today, without any resource advantage or location advantage. Imagine that if Changyuan does not have a good and relaxed development environment, it will rip off enterprises everywhere and forcibly apportion them. Can Changchun's enterprises and Changchun's economy develop to this point? " This TV series is still being filmed. According to some enthusiastic netizens in Changyuan County, if the momentum is good, it may be made into an 80-episode TV series. In that case, how can the current millions of funds be sustained? I hope that the entrepreneurs in Changyuan will not be disturbed and operate with peace of mind as promised by the county party Committee and the government. And the truth of the matter, how to develop, this magazine will continue to pay attention. (Excerpted from Law and Life, the second half of June 2007)
