The women’s actions were swift. As soon as all the procedures were settled, the whole project began.
At this time, Ji Yang was also watching the situation there through his phone.
He was full of curiosity about the matter.
In the three live streaming rooms, all the content related to the Entertainment Film and Television City was being showcased.
The women knew how to play the game; they had publicized it early on, and a huge number of netizens had begun to pay attention to this place.
From the situation in the live streaming rooms, it was clear that several projects started at the same time: one was real estate development, another was survival, and another was the production of a TV drama.
The site was two thousand and one hundred acres, with each of the three projects allocated seven hundred acres to develop as they wished.
The main draw of the program was to provide a certain amount of funding, letting them take charge of their own development.
Indeed, owing to the novelty of this format, the live streaming rooms were packed with viewers eager to see how the chosen actors would manage to build up the place.
Looking at the land, it was completely barren, incapable of any kind of cultivation.
Ji Yang noticed they had made some changes; the initial planting project was swapped out for a real estate project, meaning they were given certain funds to lead the development of the real estate project. Of course, they were not left clueless about the project; rather, they were to make things work through the operation of funds.
The survival project was about ten people going to that seven hundred acre land to figure out how to develop it themselves, the main point being not only to start their own livelihood but also to achieve significant development.
The TV drama production entailed preparing various things while shooting; during the whole production, they could borrow money from the production team and needed to make a profit from the programs produced.
Once the three programs kicked off, the whole operation was underway in full swing.
Though it was said to be two billion, actually, the funds allocated to those three groups were just a small portion. Most of the money would be loaned by the members of the groups as the programs progressed. The entire program needed public participation, with everyone voting on their projects. Only those with the most votes could proceed; of course, ultimately, it was up to the production team to make the final judgments.
Ji Yang went to the site to have a look, and there were indeed so many people there, with cameras big and small. Many photographers filmed around the clock, and after shooting, they would produce the episode and upload it on a platform for broadcasting.
Qian Huifang and the others were truly playing big now; they had even created their own platform. Now, because of this program, the popularity of their platform had surged considerably.
Ji Yang now had a clearer understanding of the women’s capabilities, which had indeed grown.
Of course, behind the scenes, Chu Shuyuan was helping out. She had a stake in it too, just not openly declared.
The twenty billion of funding had already been made clear—every penny was to be invested here, so directors in the city couldn’t raise any issues about it.
What made Ji Yang most curious was the production of the drama. Others might worry about leaks, but they didn’t have such concerns. They quickly filmed and edited, then broadcast on their platform.
At first, Ji Yang was worried that they might not succeed with this method, but later he discovered that audience participation was extremely high. Everyone was involved in the entire shooting process; they were all curious about the finished episodes, which attracted more and more viewers as they were released.
In this positive cycle, the three programs had drawn a large audience from the start and had received rave reviews. Read complete version only at N()velFire.net
The site where the Entertainment Film and Television City was located had now turned into a major construction site. Various permanent structures were being built as required by the program, and after each episode, many tourists would flock to see the constructions, leading to a significant pull of visitors yet again.
Soon, some of the inns and hotels established by the production teams began to see an increase in visitors.
It could be said that the Entertainment Film and Television City had attracted a large number of visitors right from the beginning—even just to see the rudimentary environment. There were still so many fans coming.
Ji Yang had figured out that these three projects were all playing the fan economy game. Seeing young men and women traveling from afar, Ji Yang felt a tingle of alarm at how supportive the fans truly were of their stars.
Now, Ji Yang wasn’t spending much time dealing with things there. After all, with those women running the operations, he was free to focus most of his time on the development of the other counties. Despite the division of labor among the team members, with each being responsible for a county, as the mayor, Ji Yang naturally needed to have an overall control.
In all these matters, Zhang Chaoping was the most frustrated. The millions in funds had arrived, but he had no opportunity to stand out. Compared to the twenty billion investment, it was just too little.
Of course, Zhang Chaoping was still gritting his teeth and persevering in building the civil service residential complex. He believed that this project was the one that would really be appreciated by the cadres.
