Located in the Hengdian Film and Television City of Dongyang City in the middle of Zhejiang Province, the crowds are surging and lively.

　　The reporter walked into a period drama shooting base on the Guangzhou Street of the film and television city. The crew members performed in front of different scenes. From time to time, tourists stopped and watched and participated enthusiastically, with constant neighing and screaming.

Suddenly, a group of "cavalry" roared in.

　　"Where did these horses come from?" someone asked curiously.

Soon, a dark-skinned middle-aged man appeared in the crowd, excitedly telling the tourists: "The horse is mine."

　　His name is Shi Qingxue, and he is known as the "king of carts and horses" in Hengdian.

In 1995, Shi Qingxue came to Hengdian from his hometown of Henan to start his own business, earning rental fees by providing props for the crew.

At that time, the crew needed a lot of costume props when shooting costume dramas, especially the lack of horses.

Therefore, he raised funds from various sources and went to Inner Mongolia, Northeast and other places to buy excellent horses, and after careful training, they were used by the crew.

Now, he has more than 100 horses, about 300 classic cars, and employs 60 or 70 employees.

　　Shi Qingxue embarked on the road to wealth by "recruiting troops and buying horses".

But at that time, the lives of many folks in their hometown were still struggling, and Shi Qingxue was always thinking about it.

Driven by him, more than 2,000 fellow villagers from Henan came to Hengdian, some of them worked in the crew, and some of them started businesses such as props and photography, and got rid of poverty.

"One person is not rich, but together is rich." Facing the future, Shi Qingxue is full of enthusiasm. He hopes that through his continuous efforts, more people can live a happy life.

　　Film and television practitioners from all over the country have come to Hengdian to chase their dreams.

There are more than 100,000 registered extras, more than 15,000 crew members, more than 6,000 artisans in the film and television industry, and more than 7,600 "Heng Piao" actors living in Hengdian for a long time.

　　"Heng Diao" came one after another, originating from the gathering of the film and television culture industry in Hengdian into a tower.

In 1996, in order to create the filming scene of the movie "The Opium War", Hengdian invested in the construction of the first film and television shooting base-Guangzhou Street in Nanyue in the 19th century, which opened the curtain for the development of the film and television cultural industry.

Since then, Hengdian took advantage of the momentum to build more than 30 large-scale live shooting bases and more than 100 professional studios such as the Qin Palace, Qingming Shanghe Tu, Ming and Qing Palace Gardens, and promoted the development of the domestic film and television cultural industry.

　　In March 2019, the Hengdian Film and Television Cultural Industry Cluster was established and was later selected as a national cultural industry demonstration park.

At present, the agglomeration area has attracted more than 1,500 film and television companies to settle in, covering the entire industry chain of filming, production, distribution, special effects, and brokerage. It has become an area with a high concentration of film and television cultural enterprises in the country.

In the first nine months of this year, the Hengdian Film and Television Cultural Industry Cluster achieved total revenue of 15.286 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 34.3%; it received 325 crews, a year-on-year increase of 37.1%.

　　"With the film and television cultural industry cluster area, talents, capital and other elements will accelerate to gather, bring more film and television cultural resources, and produce higher economic benefits." Wu Wanzhen, executive deputy director of the committee, believes that the growth of the film and television industry will not only create dream-catching opportunities for "horizontal drifting", but also make tourism and other tertiary industries increasingly prosperous, which will allow more and more villagers to eat "tourism meals."

　　In October last year, a studio was built in Shanglunzhuang Village, Hengdian Town, mainly used for filming of crew stills, personal art photos, short dramas and short videos.

Chen Wei, the person in charge of party affairs in Shanglunzhuang Village, introduced: "After the studio is put into use, there will be more than 10 filming activities on average every month."

　　Driven by the film and television cultural industry cluster, the tertiary industry in Hengdian has flourished, creating nearly 50,000 related jobs, accounting for 53% of the total labor employment in Hengdian Town.

According to statistics, the annual per capita income of residents in Hengdian Town will reach 65,000 yuan in 2020.

　　The industry in the village is booming, and the people's "money sacks" are also bulging.

"I have been a farmer all my life, and what I have to do is do good things for the farmers." Xu Wenrong, the founder of Hengdian Group, said that he has done 4 things in his life: building factories, building cities, building landscapes, and building gardens. “Actually, this is the same thing. The thing is to let Hengdian farmers embark on the road of common prosperity and live a beautiful and happy life."

　　Good happiness requires both "rich pockets" and "rich brains."

In Hengdian, a large number of positive energy film and television works have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, providing a steady stream of spiritual food for audiences across the country and nourishing the spiritual life of local people.

　　"Some shots of the film "Changjin Lake" were taken in Hengdian Film and Television City and the studio." Lu Shunlong, a resident of Hengdian who provided filming equipment rental for the crew, admitted frankly that he participated in and witnessed the shooting of these high-quality film and television works, and he accepted patriotism. Education and spiritual baptism are full of power.

　　Wu Wanzhen told reporters that in order to encourage film and television production companies to create more positive-energy film and television masterpieces, Hengdian will give more vigorous policies for film and television drama projects supported by the state, major revolutionary historical film and television dramas, and the main theme of the Acura spirit of the age. Support and support more film and television companies to create and produce masterpieces.

Harvest material wealth in the prosperity of the cultural industry, and get spiritual sublimation in the story of light and shadow.
