When Xu Zhizhou and others heard that the major shareholder no longer insisted on the film and television company paying, but was prepared to invest personally, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as they don't have to pay, Chen Xia can play however she wants and it's none of their business.
It’s easy to say that we’re going to build a one-to-one replica. The Daming Palace alone covers an area of 32,000 square kilometers. Do you still want to build half of Chang’an City?
I'm afraid this cannot be achieved without 300 million yuan. We can only say that they are rich and willful.
When Yuan Man heard Xu Rui's words, he nodded repeatedly:
"Okay, I'll take the lead on the Huaxia side. It won't be a big problem. I think they'll be so happy about this kind of thing."
After the dinner was over and everyone had left, Xu Rui asked doubtfully, "Are you really planning to invest in a film and television city?"
Chen Xia chuckled:
"Not just one, but many. From the Qin Palace, to the Song Dynasty Palace, to the Ming and Qing Palaces, I will build them all. I want to replicate the Forbidden City one-to-one in Yuezhou."
Xu Rui said unhappily:
"You're burning a lot of money. How much would it cost to build a one-to-one replica of the Forbidden City? Back then, Zhu Di mobilized the entire nation. Even the Manchus could only live in second-hand houses and couldn't afford to build a new palace."
"It's not that expensive actually. They're all made of cement now, and there's no need for real golden nanmu pillars. Plus, the number of palaces will definitely be reduced. As long as it's enough for tourism and filming, it'll be fine."
"Travel, do you think you can make money from traveling in the future?"
Chen Xia patted Xu Rui on the shoulder and said, "Trust Brother Chen, you will gain eternal life and make a lot of money."
"Bullshit, tourism, your chicken-foot-like place, how many people would travel to Yuezhou nowadays? If they do go, they'll go to Shanghai or our capital."
Chen Xia suddenly thought of Hengdian's geographical location
Back then, Hengdian was a typical small town in central Zhejiang. It had no railways or highways and was extremely poor. Yet, they built the world's largest film and television city on such a blank sheet of paper.
Think about the current geographical location of Yuezhou
Yuezhou has a railway station, and trains connect to major cities across the country.
The expressway is under construction, and it is only 20 kilometers away from the newly built Xiaoshan International Airport, which is almost a city airport.
It is very close to major cities such as Shanghai, Nanjing, Lin'an, Ningbo, etc., and is located in the Yangtze River Delta, which is the most inland and richest region.
If such a geographical advantage, coupled with his own strong financial resources, still cannot build a film and television city, then he really can write his name backwards.
China Channel
The well-known patriotic Hong Kong businessman, Four Seasons Group, wants to invest in a Tang Palace in the country.
After it was built, it was rented to China TV for filming, saving the TV hundreds of millions of dollars. Such good deeds quickly spread within China TV.
The director was so happy that he ran straight to the "Meiyuan" in Houhai to visit in person.
This attitude must be maintained, not only because it is beneficial to China Television, but the key is that the other party is a patriotic businessman who is enthusiastic about domestic construction. This relationship must be maintained well, ZZ mission.
Chen Shuqin was really speechless. This nephew just did whatever he wanted.
If we build a film and television city in Yuezhou, how many film crews will come to shoot movies? And how many tourists will come to visit?
This isn't a film and television city in Hong Kong, it's the mainland. This is the mainland in 1988.
But Chen Shuqin was smart. Although she did not agree with the project in her heart, as an executor at the president level, she still acted according to her nephew's intentions.
Since the station director was already here, the two sides happened to discuss some advertising fees.
Now Four Seasons Group can be regarded as a major client of CCTV, with annual advertising expenditure exceeding RMB 30 million.
Basically, there are advertisements of Four Seasons Group's subsidiaries at every time period.
While promoting pumpkin vine pharmaceuticals, we are now also promoting the three major projects of "Yuezhou Small Commodity City", "Yuezhou Light Textile City" and "Yuezhou Clothing Wholesale City".
Even "Caiyunzhinan Jewelry Store" has now entered the mainland, and was paid 5 million yuan for its first advertisement.
This not only made Huaxia Television a fortune, but also made it an advanced unit in China-Hong Kong cooperation and received praise from the top.
When the Four Seasons Group planned to rebuild Chang'an City and Daming Palace in Yuezhou on a one-to-one scale, the academic circles in the capital were first shocked.
On the premise that dozens of professors could be mobilized to film "Dream of Red Mansions", building a "Tang Palace" would require a large number of professors and experts in architecture, fine arts, landscape architecture, etc. to provide guidance.
Is this guidance for nothing?
These old experts also need to make a living, so under the promotion of Four Seasons Group, the "Tang culture retro trend" suddenly became a hot term.
The academic circles in the capital and Xi'an began to argue endlessly. Everyone wanted to take the lead in this project. The media also began to report on it, and it became known throughout the country in a short time.
Yuezhou is making a big move, planning to build a huge Tang Palace and a one-to-one replica of the Daming Palace.
The most excited person would be Han Dingze. As the top leader of Yuezhou, he certainly strongly supports this kind of publicity-seeking thing. Besides, it can also boost the local GDP and increase the popularity of Yuezhou, right?
Instead, it was the "future father-in-law" Xu Hongtai who was more worried.
I know that the son-in-law is rich, but now Four Seasons Group has started construction on multiple projects, including a diabetes pharmaceutical factory, an industrial park, and the construction of three major professional markets, all of which cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
Now there are two more projects. You said you would build a new laboratory and invest 100 million yuan.
Now they were planning to invest hundreds of millions to build a fake palace? Or a one-to-one replica? This puzzled Xu Hongtai.
You know, if Chen Xia loses money and goes bankrupt, what will happen to his three eldest grandchildren in the United States?
In the Plum Garden, Chen Xia held a phone and kept explaining:
"Yes, Uncle Xu, this project won't lose money. Regardless of whether others will come to film, we will have our own film and television company and invest in our own films. With such advantages, we can definitely make a profit in the film and television industry.
They might run at a loss for the first 10 years, but the cost 10 years from now will be completely worth it. A film and television city that costs 200 million yuan now might cost 1 billion yuan in 10 years.
Not only will the price of building materials go up, but labor costs will also rise. Land is cheap now, but it won't be affordable in 10 or 20 years. A film and television city will easily cover thousands of acres, and the cost will be staggering."
After hearing Chen Xia's clear and logical explanation, Xu Hongtai felt relieved. It seemed that this guy didn't make the decision on impulse.
He even said that he was prepared to lose money for 10 years. I believe he must have his own plans and intentions.
In 1988, land was dirt cheap.
Ten years later, in 1998, the commercialization of real estate had already begun in full swing. Chen Xia still wanted to acquire thousands of acres of land at a low price in one go. Was he dreaming?
The development of Hengdian Film and Television City was also due to the low land prices and low land acquisition costs at that time.
Chen Xia wants to be the "King of Yuezhou", so naturally he wants more projects and is not afraid of spending money.
