The vicious female supporting role is posted in the opposite direction by the cub

Jun Jiu recalled what the secretary had told him and repeated: "The people who came to power later put a lot of effort into replanting flowers, trees and shrubs on this land to restore the original ecological environment. But it was so strange that a lot of weeds and wildflowers grew, but the larger trees could not survive."

Over the years, the area remains barren. In spring and autumn, the grass provides some shelter, but in winter, the withered grass exposes the yellowish-brown soil, leaving a gaping wound that looks horribly unsightly! Consequently, the number of animals on Little Deer Ridge has dwindled, with most congregating on the back hill, making it difficult to spot them on the front…”

Yan Yueqing became interested: "You mean, we got a bargain?"

"Of course I got a bargain!"

Jun Jiu explained slowly and deliberately: "Many people want to develop this land, but apart from speculating on real estate and commercial residential land, no other construction is guaranteed to break even. Many bosses admire the scenery of Xiaoluling, but after hearing the terms and conditions of development, such as not being able to damage the existing natural environment, not being able to develop residences on it, and having to maintain and continue its original ecosystem for a certain number of years... tsk, it's like a freshly picked chestnut, everyone drools over its deliciousness, but no one dares to peel off the outermost thorns."

Yan Yueqing nodded: "Investors naturally want to get a return as soon as possible. If that land cannot be developed into real estate, other projects may not be able to break even, and even the daily maintenance in the future will be a huge expense."

It's not like we're doing this out of love. Who would willingly throw money into the water and not even see a ripple?
“Yes, it takes a lot of courage to invest here.” Jun Jiu told a little gossip, “The secretary told me that there was a big boss who also considered developing it into a film and television base. After all, the natural conditions are there, and once it is built, it will definitely attract countless film crews.”

Unfortunately, it's only possible to build traditional Chinese-style buildings here, not modern ones. Trying to build modern things inside ancient buildings would just look out of place! And if you only build ancient buildings, the investment cost would be very high... At that time, domestic period dramas weren't very good. There were plenty of options for film crews, such as Hengdian World Studios, newly built sets, and many scenic spots that already had ancient buildings.

Building a film and television base in Xiaoluling is a bad idea. It's not as famous as Hengdian, the scenery isn't as good, and the construction would be incredibly expensive! To break even, the daily rental fee would have to be outrageously high. Unless it's a big-spending production crew, everyone would have to settle for something less.

A project has a limited budget. During the preparation stage, apart from the initial funding, the crew relies mainly on attracting investment.

The actors' salaries are the biggest expense, but the set construction, location rental, post-production, and special effects all add up to a lot of money!
What to do if you don’t have enough money?
Let's chop it down!

Cut back on post-production, cut back on location, cut back on promotion, what else can you do but cut the actors' salaries?

Therefore, building a film and television base is easy, but recouping the investment is extremely difficult!
The high rent alone is enough to scare away many film crews.

For well-funded film crews, there are too many places to choose from, and they might not necessarily be interested in a newly built film and television base! The things inside may be new, but whether they are suitable for their own film crew is another matter.

After such a round of screening, very few film crews are willing to participate.

What are the chances of a blockbuster series emerging from these production teams?
Without a hit drama series, it's impossible to attract viewers' attention, let alone promote the base.

In summary, the following requirements must be met to develop a base here:
A lot of money.

No return is required for the time being.

Lots of money...

It's as if it was tailor-made for Yan Yueqing!
She never expected such a coincidence.

Jun Jiu found a parking space and, while reversing, laughed, "The Party Secretary didn't dare to sign a contract with President Yue for Hundred Beasts Mountain, after all, there was the precedent of Little Deer Ridge. If Hundred Beasts Mountain were also destroyed by those facilities, then P City's tourism industry would plummet! However, he really wanted to facilitate the construction of the base. After we decided to choose Little Deer Ridge, he specially relaxed the conditions, and the construction process was smooth sailing all the way without encountering any trouble! The Party Secretary arrived early for this ribbon-cutting ceremony. The opening of the film and television base will be enough to add a bright achievement to his political career."

Putting aside the long term, this investment is truly massive.

It wasn't even eight o'clock yet, but a huge crowd had already gathered at the entrance of the front mountain. It looked like a dark mass, with many flashes of light from cameras twinkling like stars, which was quite impressive.

As soon as Yan Yueqing appeared, the crowd exclaimed in surprise, "President Yue is here!"

"It's Mr. Yue!"

"Is it starting? I'm so excited!"

Despite the commotion, the crowd very considerately made way for Yan Yueqing to pass.

The film and television base was built starting from the mountainside, mainly transforming the sunken, massive foundation into a magnificent palace-like structure. Logically, the ribbon-cutting ceremony should have begun at the entrance of the complex.

Unexpectedly, the ceremony was held at the entrance of the mountain!
Director Tang greeted them happily, followed by an extremely excited Director Qi.

The director, in his fifties, with his gray hair, drooping eyes, and heavy eye bags, clearly showed how hard he had been working lately.

Fortunately, the hard times are over!

After many twists and turns, "The Heart Is Not Seen" is finally about to start filming!

And in a completely new setting that no one has ever seen before!!!

There's a thrilling feeling, like a serf finally being liberated and singing a song of triumph!

Qi Dao took the initiative to shake hands: "President Yue, that's wonderful! I've finally waited for you!"

Yan Yueqing was infected by his excitement: "Director Qi, can you finally rest easy today?"

"Don't worry!"

Yan Yueqing laughed and joked, "Isn't Director Qi afraid that he's not satisfied with the palace-like architecture built at the base?"

"How could that be!" Director Qi was very confident. "A product from President Yue is guaranteed to be top-notch!"

Even if he believed in Yue Zong's abilities, just looking up there today—and seeing so many thatched huts?!—he, Qi Tianlei, would have to accept it, okay?!

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yan Yueqing noticed out of the corner of her eye that an elderly man was still standing at the front door.

The other person was wearing a Zhongshan suit, and showed no signs of dejection in the morning mist. His upright demeanor made him stand out from the people around him.

Hmm, you can tell at a glance that he works within the system.

Is this the Secretary Shi that Jun Jiu mentioned?
Given the other party's status, it would be almost impossible for them to greet him from dozens of meters away like Director Tang or Director Qi did.

When they were only a few steps away, Secretary Shi smiled and stepped forward, extending his hand: "Hello, President Yue, I've heard so much about you."

Not greeting him in advance is a right afforded to him given his position.

Taking these few steps forward was his way of expressing gratitude to Yan Yueqing for taking the initiative to invest in this land.

This was Yan Yueqing's first time dealing with someone from within the system. She had heard Teacher Jiang say every day that the intricacies of the system were very deep, and that anyone who could rise to a minor official position was no small fry, let alone a city party secretary.

Fortunately, all the business dealings were handled by Jun Jiu, and she only showed up once today, with little time to communicate afterward, so she didn't mind. She smiled and said politely, "Hello, Secretary Shi. I arranged this time at the last minute, thank you for taking the time to come."

Secretary Shi's eyes were filled with approval: "Not at all, thank you, Mr. Yue, for your important contribution to the development of our city. The successful implementation of this project not only reflects Mr. Yue's social responsibility as an entrepreneur, but also serves as a model of government and enterprise working together for common development. We look forward to continuing to work hand in hand in the future to create more benefits for the people..."

As the two were talking, the cameras below flashed incessantly as everyone rushed to film the scene.

Yan Yueqing glanced around and realized that all the well-known media outlets in P City had arrived. She guessed that their press releases were already written and they were just waiting for the photos to be taken so they could grab the headlines in P City.

Of course, the reporters were squeezed on both sides, while in the middle was a group of people in suits who looked quite old and were surrounded by a strong sense of officialdom. They were obviously officials of all ranks in P City.

It's true that the ribbon-cutting ceremony was arranged on short notice, but with city officials present, how could this group of people not rush to get there?

No wonder there were so many official vehicles in the parking lot just now...

In addition, Yan Yueqing also saw Shen Yanzhu, Su Nianqing and others. Although they occupied relatively good positions, they did not turn on their live streaming equipment.

That's true. With this city official around, the media outlets that film are all carefully selected. It's already a miracle that Shen Yanzhu and the others were even able to get in. How could they possibly start a live broadcast without the big shot's permission?

Under the lens of numerous media outlets, the ribbon-cutting ceremony proceeded both long and swiftly.

The speech by the bigwigs was lengthy.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was quick.

Yan Yueqing originally planned to cut the ribbon with Director Tang, but with the Party Secretary present, it was only the two of them who could pick up the scissors.

The golden scissors paused slightly in front of the red silk, then swiftly cut it off.

In an instant, cannons roared, ribbons flew, applause erupted, and camera lenses flashed frequently, recording this important moment.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Yan Yueqing politely invited Secretary Shi to visit the new film and television base, but he declined the invitation. Given his position, his daily schedule was already packed, and it was truly remarkable that he could find time for a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Yan Yueqing was just being polite; the atmosphere would have been more relaxed if he hadn't come.

As expected, as soon as this bigwig left, the officials followed closely behind, along with a lot of media, and the venue instantly emptied by half.

The rest, apart from the crew of "The Heart Is Not Seen", Shen Yanzhu from the Monthly Project, were basically all staff members sent by various stars.

Jun Jiu chuckled and glanced towards the mountain gate, inviting, "President Yue, shall we go up and take a look together?"

"it is good."

With Yan Yueqing's tacit approval, the people behind Project Moon finally breathed a sigh of relief and started the live stream.

Yan Yueqing's visit here was a last-minute decision, but as soon as Yueji received the schedule information yesterday, he immediately posted an announcement on the official website, notifying that there would be a live broadcast by Yue Zong today.

It's only nine in the morning, and it's a weekday, so there shouldn't be many people with free time.

As soon as the monthly plan started airing on DaMao TV, the fans who had been waiting for a long time flocked to it, almost causing the live stream to crash.

【First! 】

Wow, where is this? The surroundings are so beautiful! Did Yue Zong go hiking?

[Hey bro, I'm giving you a heads-up. Boss Yue invested in a film studio here, like Hengdian World Studios, but it's brand new! This is the first time we've met here together!]

[Hey cameraman, slow down! Let me see the scenery around me, it's absolutely gorgeous! They must have spent a fortune investing in this place, right? My boss, Mr. Yue, is incredibly wealthy!!!]

[Hey cameraman, hurry up! I heard this film and television base is based on an ancient Chinese style. I'm really curious to see how it's done!]

[Haha, you guys keep telling me to go fast and slow, how am I supposed to walk?]

[I'm from P City. I recently heard that Xiaoluling was temporarily closed, and I thought it was under maintenance. After all, it's normal to repair mountain roads during the rainy season. I didn't expect that Mr. Yue was pouring money into it.]

I've been to P City. Hundred Beasts Mountain is fun, with tons of wild animals. Little Deer Ridge is huge, but there are very few animals, and a large bald patch in the middle looks like the Mediterranean Sea—it's not pretty at all.

[Did Yue actually turn that barren land into a film studio? That plot of land is terrifyingly huge!!!]

Putting everything else aside, Yue certainly has the ability.

Even if they have the resources, surely it shouldn't be this bad? I remember Xiaoluling was only closed for two or three months. What could they have built up by then?

Give me a plot of land, and I'll give you a miracle! Ever heard of Aladdin's lamp? Skyscrapers rise overnight!

【You know that's a myth... It's different here, Mr. Yue. Materials, approvals, labor, transportation... The road to Little Deer Ridge isn't as easy as everyone imagines. Putting everything else aside, just building the road will take a while...】

As netizens discussed the matter, the group reached the heart of the mountain, and the camera finally captured the scene everyone had been eagerly anticipating—

Film and television base!

Before you even start climbing, countless blue stone steps wind their way up, one after another, piercing the vast sky.

A corner of the palace was hidden in the clouds and mist, like a huge monster, pressing heavily on the mountain ridge. It was unclear and unfathomable, yet it appeared extremely heavy.

After climbing the last stone step, Jin Yang rose into the air.

Bathed in warm sunlight, the newly completed palace, like a celestial palace fallen from the heavens, shimmered with captivating brilliance amidst the morning mist. A hundred white marble steps wound their way upwards, each carved with lotus scrolls; the jade, warm and lustrous like solidified cream, seemed to ripple with water when the sunlight shone upon its surface. Twelve golden pillars, adorned with coiled dragons, supported the triple eaves of the main hall, from which hung gilded bronze wind chimes that tinkled melodiously in the breeze.

Under the sunlight, the glazed tiles change colors like peacock feathers, sometimes as green as spring water, sometimes as blue as the deep sea. The gaps between the tiles are inlaid with gold threads, and from a distance, it looks like a brocade woven by nature covering the roof of the palace.

Eighteen newly transplanted weeping crabapple trees, intertwined with various colorful flowers, surround the artificial lake in its center. Every mountain, every stream, every stone, and every tree is a masterpiece of human ingenuity and nature's artistry; even the jade palaces and golden pavilions of Penglai Island could not surpass this!
As the live stream slowly zoomed in, the magnificent palace complex shone brightly in the sunlight, its carved beams and painted rafters, its glazed eaves and exquisite details breathtakingly beautiful.

The comments section was silent for a second, then the screen was instantly flooded with messages—(End of Chapter)
