Villa.
Second-floor platform.
Tang Qing and his uncle leisurely sipped their tea.
Chai Ren and Zhan Xi had already left, feeling full and sleepy, which was particularly evident in the pregnant Zhan Xi as they listened to the ’constant protests’ of Qin Shiqi from downstairs. A smile broke across Tang Qing’s face uncontrollably.
"Shiqi, that girl, really has ’ideals’, pressuring Shiyu to skip two grades, haha," laughed Tang Kai.
In the swimming pool, the two sisters were swimming freely. Ever since learning to swim, Qin Shiyu also fell in love with the sport. Tang Qing laughed, "She’s just a flash in the pan; in a few days, she’ll be dramatically protesting with her textbooks."
"By the way, Tangtang, the site for the Film and Television City has been surveyed, and the initial plan from the design institute seems unimpressive. Do you have any good suggestions?" Tang Kai brought up business.
"What plan?" Tang Qing asked.
Tang Kai explained, "They think replicating Chinese imperial gardens and constructing some Republic-era buildings would be suitable for shooting the currently popular Qing dynasty and war dramas."
"That really doesn’t sound interesting."
Tang Qing continuously shook his head.
Such a plan.
Was merely a farce; anyone could come up with that kind of plan off the streets.
Tang Kai expressed his frustration, "That’s what I thought too. Why bother recreating those? I don’t like Qing dynasty dramas, nor do I want my Film and Television City overrun with people in Japanese military uniforms.
Our great Huaxia has such a long history, so many characters, so many stories to tell, so many places to shoot. There’s so much else we could do. So, I outright rejected that plan. It was completely uninspiring."
Tang Qing nodded in agreement.
He wholeheartedly agreed.
Qing dynasty dramas, in later times, almost monopolized the realm of historical dramas. Not that they were poorly made, but people do get aesthetic fatigue. With such bombardment, TV series from other dynasties felt almost non-existent.
Having seen so many,
he too wanted to change things up.
After pondering, Tang Qing had an idea.
"Uncle, we should still include ancient gardens; they’re an inseparable part of Huaxia’s history, but it doesn’t have to be the Forbidden City or any other ancient capitals. We shouldn’t just follow the trend.
How about we replicate other historical bustling cities or unique garden architectures? The gardens in the Suzhou and Hangzhou area are quite distinctive."
If going,
then let’s not take the usual path.
Profit was never a consideration for Tang Qing.
After hearing Tang Qing’s idea, Tang Kai’s eyes lit up: "Great idea, let’s settle on that. No need for ancient capitals; just build scenes of other historically bustling cities. But will that be a bit too monotonous, and also, might the space not be enough?"
Tang Qing replied, "There’s plenty of land in the Qingyan mountains, and if needed, we can buy more. As for monotony, we can add other scenes like European manors, or French styles, just not sure if they’d be popular."
"No worries, that’s settled then. I’ll communicate this direction to the design institute tomorrow, let them brainstorm. It doesn’t matter if others like it or if it makes money; as long as we like it, that’s enough," Tang Kai said unconcernedly.
It was a personal investment.
As long as the family liked it, it was enough.
This was never just a pure business investment; Tang Kai only wanted to do something ’interesting’ and never expected this project to make money. Maintaining the operation of the Film and Television City was enough.
Given that,
why not make oneself a bit happier?
Uncle’s financial strength,
made Tang Qing’s face unconsciously light up with a smile.
It was all thanks to being wealthy.
Nevertheless,
he liked it.
"By the way, Tangtang, what about the amusement park? I feel that having just some amusement facilities also seems a bit monotonous," Tang Kai recalled another ’neighboring’ project, the largest Entertainment City project within the province.
For this issue, Tang Qing quickly gave a suggestion, "Then... add some cultural elements."
"Cultural elements?"
Tang Qing explained, "Yes, like drama, concerts, circuses, sketch comedies, Errenzhuan, national essence, acrobatics, and the like. Many local artists actually need a stage. 𝓃ℴ𝓋𝓹𝓊𝓫.𝒸𝓸𝓂
We can start from this aspect, add some cultural connotation, and give these artists a platform. We won’t invite celebrities or big names, only those with dreams... dream chasers."
It was a sudden brainstorm for Tang Qing.
While having fun.
He hoped to create some opportunities for some people.
There are many artistic youths domestically, but those who have opportunities to perform are rare; many who like to sing can only go to bars, many who like to paint might end up as bearded scum performance artists, or art teachers.
They all need a platform.
Previously, Tang Qing could only watch various ’craftsmen’ struggle to survive on TV, these dream pursuers, repeatedly defeated by reality, either switching careers or continuing to pursue their dreams difficultly.
Tang Qing wasn’t sure if he should let them know one thing:
----Wake up, most of you will ultimately not catch your dreams. But, before that, maybe they could have a chance to fulfill one dream----standing on a stage.
In this life, Tang Qing couldn’t give them much of an opportunity either.
Because some industries are destined to have only a few people at the peak, like in the arts, everyone else must remain obscure, because the real world is so small, it cannot accommodate so many dreams.
And those with dreams, they are all great.
That was all Tang Qing could help with.
This plan.
Once again, it was endorsed by Tang Kai.
"Tangtang, it seems I really asked the right person. To build a platform for cultural transmission and display, this idea is good, and it can be integrated with the amusement park project. Later, I think we can even ask Qingyan City for a big piece of land for free, otherwise, the space for the amusement park might not be enough. I believe Qingyan City will definitely support this."
"Of course," Tang Qing said.
An inland city.
Not a well-known historic and cultural city.
They are eager to become famous.
...
Sure enough.
Two days later.
When Tang Kai conveyed this idea to the leaders of Qingyan City.
This time.
They were even more excited than Tang Kai.
Cultural industry.
They never dared to think about it before; Tang Kai’s plan was highly feasible. Once successful, Qingyan City would really become famous, together with several other projects, enhancing the overall influence by several levels.
What is this.
Blatant political achievements.
"Boss Tang, rest assured, we’ll immediately organize manpower to find you a location. Our city committee will definitely support this vigorously. On behalf of the Qingyan City committee, thank you, Boss Tang. Whenever you have time, let’s meet face to face," the mayor personally called.
Tang Kai said, "Mayor Zeng, I’m still on vacation in Sanya. Wait till Sky Eye comes up with a complete and feasible plan; I’ll be back by mid-August, then we can talk more."
"Good, good, I’ll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone.
Qingyan City quickly got in touch with Sky Eye.
The city committee issued a firm order.
The project must be secured and implemented.
