Chapter 545 The temptation of classic drama

As the price of domestic wild Chinese medicinal materials continues to rise, some Chinese medicinal materials are being harvested less and less. In this case, to ensure the quality of the medicinal materials, the only option is to implement artificial cultivation in the place of origin.

Nowadays, Shenwang Pharmaceutical has opened up the market in Southeast Asia. The various Chinese patent medicines it produces are loved and pursued by customers. This is mainly because these Chinese patent medicines are genuine and affordable, and customers can feel confident about what they buy.

To ensure the quality of Chinese patent medicines, the medicinal materials must be genuine. Many of the medicinal materials produced in Ning Province are precious Chinese medicinal materials. Pharmaceutical factories purchase a lot of wolfberry alone every year.

But there are so many pharmaceutical factories in the country, and they have a certain demand for these medicinal materials every year. It will be difficult to meet the growing market demand simply by collecting from the wild, which means investing in medicinal material planting bases.

The investment in establishing a pharmaceutical factory in Caiyun and Mushanhe earlier was also based on this point. In this life, because of his appearance and the establishment of Shenwang Pharmaceutical, the prices of Chinese medicinal materials and the reputation of Chinese medicine are still developing well.

Especially under Mu Shanhe's suggestion, the above also provided corresponding protection for Chinese medicine practitioners in advance. Many colleges of traditional Chinese medicine have also received corresponding financial support to cultivate more rising stars who understand traditional Chinese medicine.

Although many people abroad still don’t believe in traditional Chinese medicine. However, the stores opened by Shenwang Pharmaceutical in Southeast Asia receive many Western customers every year. Some stores will also hire experienced Chinese medicine practitioners to provide consultations and prescriptions.

All in all, in the eyes of others, investing in such an industry as Mushanhe seems to be a waste of money. But in Mu Shanhe's view, from a long-term perspective, the future returns on these investments will be considerable.

If Shenwang Pharmaceutical wants to become a real Chinese medicine giant, then a stable supply of high-quality medicinal materials will be very important. The more medicinal material planting bases like this, the better the medicinal material supply chain can be ensured.

When returning, Mu Shanhe did not fly directly back to Beijiang, but flew directly to the Special Administrative Region. Now that we are visiting the crew in Xiangcheng and everything is out, we have to visit the crews invested in China!

Xu Qin, who was on the Three Kingdoms set, was naturally very happy when she received a call from Mu Shanhe. For several directors on the crew, they were naturally very happy to learn that Mu Shanhe was coming to visit the crew.

When filming a famous TV series like Three Kingdoms, you can imagine the pressure on the crew. Looking at the funds consumed every day, several directors also felt a lot of pressure. I am afraid that the photo will not be good, and I am even more afraid of spending a lot of money.

Fortunately, when it comes to the film and television city, the Shanshen Group has given great support, specifically to the Three Kingdoms crew to build the necessary film and television city projects. With a perfect venue, it is naturally much easier for the crew to shoot.

When Mu Shanhe arrived at the film and television city, most of the actors and actresses who were filming saw Mu Shanhe being personally received by several directors and asked curiously: "Who is this young man? Why haven't I seen him before?"

"I don't know! But looking at his demeanor, his identity is not simple."

"Don't you even know who he is? He is the investor of our drama and the boss of the city below us."

When an actor with knowledge said this, the other actors were shocked and said: "Oh, is it true? He is the chairman of Xiangcheng Shanshen Group? He doesn't seem to be very old!"

"Nonsense! Haven't you read the newspaper? He is the most famous young rich man and tycoon in Xiangcheng!"

Compared with the emotions of the male actors, the actresses on the crew were even more surprised. Although in the Three Kingdoms series, there are not many actresses with many roles. But there are naturally some important female characters in the entire crew.

When they saw that Xu Qin, who was usually serious and cool on the set, would hold Mu Shanhe's arm without any scruples, they complained in their hearts, but at the same time they looked a little envious. Because they all knew that Xu Qin, like them, wanted to become a famous actress. But after climbing to a high branch like Mu Shanhe, Xu Qin transformed into an investment producer that directors need to please.

There is already a world of difference between the two parties in terms of the level of the crew!

No matter how Xu Qin climbed to the top, they all knew that even if they became famous actors in the future, they would still be actors. In contrast, Xu Qin can become a boss and a being that many actors fawn over.

Accompanied by Xu Qin and a group of directors, Mu Shanhe also visited the film and television city. Although Mushanhe has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to build this film and television city. But this is really his first time here after investing.

Seeing the palace compound that had been built, Mu Shanhe also sighed in his heart. With this film and television city in the special zone, it is not known whether the most famous horizontal film and television city in the country can be built in the future.

Apart from anything else, in terms of the current scale of the SAR Film and Television City, it is no less than the Hengzhou Film and Television City in its previous life. In addition to the crew filming here, the crew of Asia Entertainment Media is also filming here.

Surrounding the entire film and television city, there are already many extras gathered around who are waiting for the movie every day. In terms of the number of extras alone, it is probably the largest film and television city in the country. In this way, the surrounding economy will naturally be boosted.

"Director Wang, how is your filming progress now?"

"About one-third of the filming has been completed! However, the early preparations took a lot of time. Now that we are on track, the filming progress of the back sequence should be accelerated. If everything goes well, the filming should be completed in the second half of next year."

After hearing this, Mu Shanhe said with emotion: "So, it will take you more than two years to film this movie? No wonder Xiaoqin told me before that the crew's expenses would be so high."

"There is no way! In order to make a movie that will not disappoint the audience, we can only work slowly. Fortunately, we have the experience of shooting Red Mansions before. If we shoot the Three Kingdoms this time, we can save a lot of time."

For Director Wang, who directed Red Mansions in his early years, he also knew that the longer the shooting time, the greater the cost for the crew. In fact, although the higher-ups attach great importance to the filming of this TV series, they also have a headache in applying for funding for the crew.

Even this drama has investment from Shanshen Group. But for China Television, which is leading the filming, raising nearly 100 million in filming funds will still put a lot of pressure on the TV station, which currently has a low income.

Taking the opportunity of the visit, Mu Shanhe also met some of the main actors of the crew. Mu Shanhe, who had watched this TV series in his previous life, could naturally recognize some familiar faces in later generations.

But Mu Shanhe also knows that for the actors participating in this drama, this can be regarded as the highlight moment of their lives. An actor will become a well-known and capable actor in China in the future by virtue of filming this drama.

There are also some actors who gradually disappear from the public eye after the TV series is broadcast. But no matter what, for current domestic actors, the opportunity to participate in the filming of such a large-scale TV series is indeed an irresistible temptation!
