Hengdian Drifters in Yatang Community
发布日期:2020-11-13 浏览次数:

Over 3000 dream-seekers from all over China live in Yatang Community, which is more than five times the number of local residents in the community.

Hu Zhiyong, 70 years old, is an actor and has been seeking opportunities in Hengdian since April 2015. In February 2017, Hu bought a house in Yatang. “It is amazing that Yatang has changed greatly from a poor village to a well-known village for Hengdian drifters,” says Hu, who now lives and works in Hengdian with his family.

Affected by the pandemic this year, Yatang witnessed a slack period. “In March and April, there were less than 2000 Hengdian drifters in Yatang. But with many film and television crews gradually resuming work, people have come back to the community since May,” says Jin Xinlun, secretary of the Party Committee of Yatang Community. According to Jin, there are currently 138 apartments in the community, almost all of which are occupied.

Although Yatang occupies a superior geographical position in Hengdian Town, it had no special features in its development until recent years. Since 2007, as the head of the management group for community affairs, Jin has been thinking about how to better develop the community. As Hengdian’s film and television industry embraced rapid development, Jin saw a business opportunity for the community. He called on his colleagues to discuss the feasibility of renting out some collective property.

The collective buildings in the community, after their completion, immediately attracted many investors. Later, a Marriott Hotel opened here. “At that time, the Marriott was one of the top hotels in Hengdian, a favorite of film and television crews and tourists. Sometimes crews rented the entire hotel and lived there for months.”

In the following years, Yatang renovated the main roads, improved its infrastructure, and constructed a square for Hengdian drifters. In addition, when the city promoted its comprehensive environment, the community underwent a renovation. All of these things helped to improve the popularity of Yatang and brought wealth to its local residents.

In order to attract more renters and support the entrepreneurship of Hengdian drifters, in 2015, Yatang transformed its rental housing into hotel-style apartments. To date, the community has 138 apartments that accommodate over 3000 Hengdian drifters.

As more drifters move in, Yatang has developed a closer connection with the film and television industry by establishing hotels, KTV bars, micro studios, and others. The renters of the community have brought an annual rental income of no less than 60,000 RMB to each local household. The collective economy of the community has developed greatly. The community now pays medical insurance for its local residents and provides them with various dividends. (By Wu Xuhua, translated by Jin Haiqiong, edited by Kendra Fiddler) 

横店雅堂:数千横漂的家

雅堂小区租住着3000多名来自全国各地追梦者。外来追梦者人数是小区居民的5倍多。

今年70岁的胡志拥是演员,20154月以来一直在横店。20172月,胡志拥看中雅堂小区的一处房产,买了下来。雅堂从一个一穷二白的小村庄,转变为名声响亮的横漂村,变化如此之大,真是了不起。如今,胡志拥一家人在横店安居乐业。

今年受疫情影响,雅堂小区经历了几个月的冷清。三、四月时,在雅堂的横漂只有两千人不到。伴随着剧组复工,5月以来就慢慢恢复了。横店镇雅堂小区党支部书记金新伦说,小区目前有138家公寓,现几近满客。

虽然雅堂小区在镇中的地理位置十分优越,可在之前,小区发展一直普普通通,没有什么亮点。自2007年担任小区事务管理组组长以后,金新伦一有空便静下来思考如何壮大集体经济。横店影视文化产业的快速发展有目共睹,嗅到商机的他召集了小区干部,商讨利用集体经济建设大楼用于出租。

小区大楼建成后,立即就有投资商上门洽谈合作事宜。不久,万豪酒店在这里落地开业。当时的万豪酒店是横店数一数二的星级酒店,深受剧组、游客的喜爱。有时,剧组会把整栋楼包下来,住上好几个月。

随后几年,雅堂小区陆续投入资金整修交通要道、完善基础设施、建设横漂广场,还趁横店城市风貌综合提升的开展,让小区旧貌换新颜。环境变美后,雅堂小区的知名度越来越高,居民的腰包也越来越鼓。

为了筑巢引凤,也为了支持横漂创业,2015年,雅堂小区把出租房统一改造为宾馆式公寓。截至目前,小区已有138户公寓式出租房,集聚横漂”3000多名。

随着横漂的不断入住,雅堂小区的影视产业要素不断增多,拥有了酒店、KTV、微型摄影棚等。扎堆集聚的横漂给小区居民带来每年每户不少于6万元的租金收入。小区集体经济也水涨船高,居民医保均由小区缴纳,还享受老年人福利等各种红利。(吴旭华)
