Chapter 2046 Development of the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum

Zhu Haishan once governed the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum.

In order to appease these old men and young men from the previous dynasty, Zhu Haishan used his authority in the film and television industry to shoot a large number of palace films about the Luofu Dynasty for them. He even sang praises to some emperors of the Luofu Dynasty and whitewashed them as being wise and powerful.

As long as these old-school screenwriters dare to write it, Zhu Haishan’s film and television company will dare to shoot it.

This caused many people to doubt history after watching the TV series, and some people even clamored to revise history.

However, these true histories will not be revised because of the commotion. Every piece of history needs to provide relevant historical records, rather than relying on film and television dramas to prove it.

Zhu Haishan's appeasement strategy was quite effective. The old people liked to immerse themselves in these fake Louvre court dramas, but the young people who grew up in the new era began to feel sick of the excessive amount of similar TV dramas. There were even people who criticized and denounced the film and television companies of the Allied Nations.

In terms of targeted strategy, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Zhu Haishan and others executed it flawlessly.

As the successor, he will of course continue this shooting mode.

But the Zhang family didn’t run a film and television company, so it would be difficult to get the Zhu family out of this shithole and start filming again, and there would inevitably be some conditions involved.

"So, everyone, do you think it's appropriate to invest some money?"

A large number of people gathered at Zhang Xuezhou's inauguration ceremony, but his actions when taking office were very simple.

He only needed to cut the ribbon at the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum Management Office building, and everything he had to do in the ceremony would be done.

Singing and dancing began to take place in the huge square of the management office, with the old people and the young performing various programs and some sacrificial ceremonies of the previous dynasty being held.

In the internal building of the management office, Zhang Xuezhou sat at the top of the conference room. Beside him were Wang Haoran and Zhu Liangping, as well as members of the parties involved such as Zhu Youjia and Zhu Kuang, Zuo Teng and others who were responsible for security, and more than a dozen representatives of the old and young.

Zhang Xuezhou flipped through the relevant documents, then gestured to look across the conference table.

"You can't stop following the old rules just because you've changed people!"

Sitting at the conference table opposite Zhang Xuezhou was an 80-year-old man. He had not been injected with any life-enhancing drugs, which had caused him to look old.

But the old man was in very good spirits and spoke clearly.

The old man's name is Feng Xiangyu. He used to be the governor of Huai and Zhejiang. After the establishment of the Red Alliance, he did not join the system but chose to fight.

For their generation, the Luofu Empire unified its vast territory and began to develop various high-yield crops, and everything was thriving.

But suddenly, the Luofu Empire collapsed, which made it difficult for many people to accept.

Feng Xiangyu had always wanted to restore the former Luofu Dynasty. After being suppressed once and having his legs broken, the open resistance he launched turned into remembrance and commemoration.

But even so, he tried his best to fight for the corresponding rights within the laws of the Alliance.

He also flipped through the various film and television dramas that Zhu Haishan had filmed during his more than 40 years as the director of the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum, as well as various books, and also read about the various ancestral halls and other characteristic buildings of the Luofu era.

More than forty years is a very long time, so long that what Zhu Haishan did, which seemed insignificant at first, has been recorded in documents that are almost as tall as a person.

Excluding such treasonous acts as plotting to usurp the throne, Feng Xiangyu felt that the current alliance was very good.

After so many years, he has even accepted this regime, and Feng Xiangyu is also very clear that nothing can go back to the way it was before.

But he will still fight for the rights that can be fought for.

Feng Xiangyu tapped the conference table and looked at the young man opposite him.

He knew Zhang Xuezhou and was well aware that he was a leader of the younger generation. He even had the identity of an ordinary civilian and many of his resumes were fully verifiable.

In the past, it would have been impossible for an ordinary person to step onto the big stage of the Louvre Dynasty.

At present, the younger generation of leaders of the other side also controls huge connections and power.

As a former high-ranking official, Feng Xiangyu knew the connection all too well.

There were too many big names supporting Zhang Xuezhou. Fourteen members of the committee came, and nearly twenty alternate members were involved. Except for those who were unable to come due to official business, almost everyone else who should have been present was present.

Some alternate members of the committee only have room to stand in this conference room, but lack seats.

For Feng Xiangyu, he was keenly aware that the Allied Powers had changed, and the situation they faced would also change, which did not even give him a chance to fight back.

"Very good, it seems that Mr. Feng does not want to invest money in filming high-quality TV series involving the Luofu Dynasty!"

Feng Xiangyu felt a chill in his heart as he watched Zhang Xuezhou pick up the documents in his hand and throw them down, preparing to move on to the next topic.

"To be honest, it's difficult for these TV series to get high ratings, so it's good not to shoot them," said Zhang Xuezhou.

"Wait a minute," Feng Xiangyu said, "A TV series or film can easily cost millions or even tens of millions of dollars to invest. We can't afford such a huge amount of money!"

"So we need to invest cautiously and create high-quality scripts for filming as much as possible, strive for excellence, and truly achieve the goal of "better to have nothing than to have something shoddy." Zhang Xuezhou knocked on the table and said, "Only by bringing positive returns can it be proved that the filmed TV series has played a role, rather than being left for some special groups to watch."

"There is no use in entertaining yourself," Wang Haoran said slowly, "Mr. Feng is also a reasonable person. He should know that piling up is useless. This is equivalent to doing useless work!"

"Even so..."

"Only when you spend money on your own will you be able to write good scripts, instead of making up stories and producing boring TV dramas and movies. Even more than 90% of them will lose money," said Wang Haoran.

"We have shot 324 TV dramas and 48 films over the years, but only 10 of them have recovered our investment. 98% of them have lost money," said Zhu Youshan.

"In the past, Mr. Zhu was in charge of this matter, but he has passed away. Mr. Feng cannot pull him out and ask him to continue to be in charge. As a member of the new era, I have no responsibility or obligation to shoot such works for you for free, which even includes books, repairing ancient buildings, and helping to organize corresponding activities," said Zhang Xuezhou.

"Then what can you bring?" Feng Xiangyu asked solemnly.

"I am willing to lead the relevant policies and cooperate with you," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile, "I will support everything related to film and television, books, architecture, activities, etc., but the profits and losses involved will be borne by you, the organizers. As long as we can make money, we can continue to promote it!"

"Then you didn't do anything," Feng Xiangyu frowned.

"That's not entirely true. I am also willing to let more young people know about the history of the Luofu Empire, and I am very happy to promote the creation of matters related to the Luofu Dynasty." Zhang Xuezhou said: "I am also willing to set up a company to build the Luofu Imperial Mausoleum as much as possible, and develop this imperial mausoleum into a holy place for the Luofu Dynasty!"

"Di Ling, you mean..."

"This will become the largest history museum in our alliance. All the glorious history of the Luofu Dynasty can be presented in this cemetery," Zhang Xuezhou said, spreading his arms. "Every emperor will leave behind his great achievements. Everything he experienced in his era will be recorded in a short film and made available for others to visit. The relevant antiquities and ancient books will be exhibited for people to visit, so that people can truly understand Luofu from the perspective of interest, hobby, and knowledge!"

"The entire Imperial Mausoleum belongs to the Alliance, so the committee will hold 50% of the absolute equity, and I am personally willing to invest 300 million in real money to hold a certain percentage of the equity for development. I also welcome Mr. Feng to introduce people who are willing to invest in it to participate, and work together to make this project bigger and stronger!"

Zhang Xuezhou seemed unwilling to do anything, but when it came to the real thing, Feng Xiangyu gasped.

After three hundred million in cash fell upon him, he couldn't help but feel dizzy.

This is a huge amount of funds that can produce almost 300 film and television dramas.

Feng Xiangyu must say that in the past few decades, he has seen various kinds of money used to appease people, but investments involving such a huge flow of funds are rare, especially when it comes to personal investment.

"I'll add another 10 million to join in the fun," said Wang Haoran who was sitting on the left.

"Then I'll also add 10 million to reserve my name," Zhu Liangping also added.

"I……"

"I……"

Just when Feng Xiangyu was about to doubt whether Zhang Xuezhou could come up with such a huge amount of funds, he heard people at the conference table starting to speak, and his heart couldn't help but beat violently again.

The topic of Zhang Xuezhou was not in Li Yingbo's plan, but no one would be vague or spoil the fun when it comes to paying.

In relevant matters, it doesn't matter whether you make a profit or a loss.

This can also be regarded as a gift to congratulate Zhang Xuezhou for entering the upper echelons of the Allied Nations.

Even Zuo Quan, who was invited to join in the fun, looked at the people around him, compared their respective families and status, and finally took out 10 million.
