Channel S4 had attracted a lot of attention, but channel S5 was still the same, and the audience had not decreased much. After all, planet Baiji had no shortage of news.
Every time Fang Zhao went with the outpost team to assist with construction, he could always capture some thrilling scenes, such as those strange, ferocious beasts and dangerous plants on planet Baiji.
Sometimes, when Fang Zhao and the outpost team went on missions to more dangerous places, Kevin Lin found it inconvenient to tag along, so he went to the military family district to conduct interviews and let the audience understand the psychological changes of the first batch of immigrants. This also piqued the curiosity of many viewers.
The first batch of immigrants actually did not have it as good as people made it out to be. At the start, there were all sorts of discomfort. Acclimatization was one of the minor issues. What was more important was the psychological aspect. Luckily, there were professional counselors in the military family district.
Kevin Lin would tell people about these things through live broadcasts or interviews.
Kevin Lin had also interviewed Great-Grandfather and Great-Grandmother Fang. They had probably had similar experiences, so the two elders did not feel uncomfortable when they came to the military family district. Furthermore, the surrounding people treated them well and were very warm and friendly. Because they liked the environment and atmosphere here, they would wait until Fang Zhao retired next year before leaving together.
Shanta had asked Kevin Lin to air more of the interviews with Great-Grandfather and Great-Grandmother Fang. This would be positive publicity for planet Baiji's immigration plan. It was to tell people that while there would be discomfort when immigrating, once one adapted, one would be able to lead a good life.
Now, as the communications network was becoming more mature, internet fees were dropping bit by bit. People who were not used to it at the start were no longer so agitated.
Entertainment could divert people's attention. "Beauties" had already started airing, with two episodes a day. Technological innovation had greatly reduced the post-production time. As long as filming went smoothly, the series would be out very quickly. There were special effects, but they were just supplementary effects. It was not like those old period dramas, where besides the people, it was all special effects. Some companies even used virtual idols for their characters.
The series that Zaro had thought was a flop became the most popular topic on major video websites the moment it started airing. Most of the viewers were women. Many people in the military family district also liked it. To save money on internet fees, immigrants would gather from time to time to watch the series.
After "Beauties," "Vampire Duke," "Mountain of Immortals," "Cinderella," and other series also started airing.
Zaro might seem unreliable normally, but his acting had improved a lot after this setback. The Leizhou audience was speculating about why Zaro had changed so much.
Zaro's manager looked at the number of views online and felt gratified. Bringing Zaro to watch Woo Tianhao and the others' filming had been beneficial. At least it had spurred Zaro to be more serious in his acting career. Why did it seem like Zaro had acted especially well this time?
Because there were very few lines!
If Zaro really wanted to put on the airs of a noble young master, he would still be the same. After all, he was born in the Renault Family and was influenced by what he saw and heard. He knew what a noble should be like. When he got serious, he could still intimidate others. Of course, the prerequisite was that he didn't speak. This guy was asking for a beating the moment he opened his mouth.
In order to achieve better results, after discussing with the scriptwriter, Zaro's agent cut out 70% of his original lines!
"Vampire Duke" was loved by many young people. Even the silver cross ornaments that appeared in the show were selling well. Even the price of garlic had risen. The unique utensils in the show, such as the black cloak, were also selling well.
In addition to the advertising fees, copyright fees, endorsements, and other income, the income from this drama was quite a lot. The money spent on buying land and building the castle could be earned back.
It was the same for the other shows, which satisfied all the companies.
Ninety percent of the current hot dramas were filmed at the Wai Film Studio Complex. There were romantic fairy tales, action thrillers, court battles, hot-blooded hegemony, supernatural horror films with historical backgrounds, and historical period comedies. There were shows that adults loved to watch, and there were shows that were suitable for children. After watching so many interstellar wars, superhuman monsters, and explosions, everyone felt that watching ancient movies was novel.
The popularity of these few series had also set off a wave of historical trends. It was convenient to film on planet Wai, but if it had been planet Baiji and a bunch of people had entered the mountains without military protection, it was hard to say if even one of them would have made it out alive.
Silver Wing was currently filming another warring drama set in ancient times, "Warring States." In order to film this drama, many more buildings were built.
A few celebrities from Yanzhou who had started their own studios hooked up with Silver Wing to film on planet Wai. The pay was secondary. They had other motives. First, they wanted to know what the Wai film studio complex was like. Second, there were many film crews here. There were actors, directors, and investors from all over the world. Getting to know more people would open up more avenues.
Many people could fly high in Yanzhou, but on a global scale, they were nothing. Yanzhou alone was still too small. Ambitious actors and actresses all wanted to develop globally. And the Wai Film Studio Complex had provided such an opportunity.
Wai base commander Huo Yi had been developing at the film studio complex. After the news had stirred up, he had submitted an application for a film studio cultural base.
At the start, Huo Yi had been very apprehensive. After all, his previous applications for key research facilities had been unsuccessful. Now that he was applying for a film studio cultural base, he was filled with anticipation, but he was also mentally prepared to be rejected.
However, the moment he received the approval and saw the words "Application Successful," Huo Yi's hands trembled. He wanted to shout out loud, but he forcefully held it in and suppressed the surging ecstasy in his heart. Huo Yi sat in his office for the entire afternoon, thinking about many things, but when he came back to his senses, he realized that he had not come up with anything.
That day, Huo Yi informed the various investors of the film studio complex that the Wai Film Studio Complex would be renamed "Wai Film Studio Cultural Base."
A few companies and big stars posted new statuses on their social media platforms. The location had already been changed to "Wai Film Studio Cultural Base."
The film studio complex and the film studio cultural base. Just hearing these two names made it clear which was of a higher grade. Since the film studio cultural base had already been approved, the original film studio complex would certainly continue to expand and develop. It would not be limited to its current scale.
Planet Wai could not be like planet Baiji, relying on higher-grade power ores to drive its development. It could only follow the path of Wai's characteristics. Huo Yi planned to expand both the key research facility and the film studio cultural base. They did not need to compare themselves with planet Baiji. They just needed to compare themselves with other planets of the same grade.
It had to be said that the success of the film studio cultural base application made planet Wai more known. In the past, even with the impetus of Project Starlight, there were still many people who did not know or understand planet Wai. Now, with the reconstruction of those ancient buildings, even more people knew about planet Wai.
When the investors who had been watching from the sidelines saw this news, a portion of them made their decision. The remaining portion was still hesitant, until the Wai base once again announced that planet Wai's key research facility had been approved.
After Huo Yi's application for the film studio cultural base was successful, he gritted his teeth and submitted another application for the key research facility. This time, he cited many examples of economic value. For example, during the filming of "Beauties," which Silver Wing had invested in, many of the plants and decorations in the royal palace had been transplanted from the experimental plots. Furthermore, because of the popularity of the series, some bonsai plants had become popular.
Through this method, the plants in the experimental plots had publicized their existence. This was the result of a discussion between Silver Wing and the researchers.
A few big sellers in the flower market had already contacted planet Wai to place an advance order for a batch of goods.
With popularity and economic value, the chances of the application being approved were high. However, the moment he received the approval, Huo Yi could not help but tear up.
Finally approved!
Double bases!
Double insurance!
In the future, the scale of the film studio cultural base and the key research facility would be even larger. Expansion was a certainty. A large military district like planet Baiji would not be able to compare to planet Baiji in terms of authority, profits, and development, but it was still much better than before!
After the key research facility was approved, the "Ark Project" experiment would continue. A few plants with higher economic value would be revived in the seed bank. As long as there were benefits, there would be sufficient funding for this aspect of research.
In the past, when investors heard that planet Wai was looking for investments, their first thought was: Heh, don't even think of tricking me into investing!
Now, although planet Wai was still looking for investments, the conditions were no longer as favorable as before. Not only had land prices doubled, but there were also other restrictions.
And people who followed Project Starlight could not help but think: Among the five channels, first, channel S5 had caused a global storm. Now, channel S4 was located on a planet with two bases. Who knew if the remaining three channels would be able to produce any more big news?
The people who had proposed Project Starlight were all smiles. See, hasn't this already changed the predicament of two planets?
On planet Baiji, Fang Zhao was looking at yet another financial report. These few financial reports showed that revenues and expenses were rising, but overall, revenues were increasing.
Now, there were more and more people heading to the Wai Film Entertainment Cultural Base to film. Some only rented small locations, such as an inn or two shops.
Kevin Lin browsed the news online and lamented, "Now everyone knows that planet Wai has two must-see attractions. One is the Wai Film Entertainment Cultural Base, where you can admire the ancient architectural styles of various continents and enjoy the feeling of traveling back in time. The other is the key research facility. I heard that there is a peach blossom garden there. The best viewing period has already passed. Next year, when the peach blossoms bloom, I will go over to take a look. "
Looking at the scenery on planet Wai and then thinking about the situation on planet Baiji, Kevin Lin felt that if planet Baiji did not discover any high-level power ore, it would always be at the bottom of the development sequence. It was not that the scenery was bad, but planet Baiji was too dangerous.
"There are so many celebrities at the Wai Film Entertainment Cultural Base. I heard that you can meet quite a few big stars just by having a meal there. I really want to go and take a look. Special reporters should be able to go, right? We are not entertainment reporters. " Kevin Lin did a search and did not find any specific regulations. All he knew was that although the number of flights to planet Wai had increased and there were other spaceships, identity checks were still very strict. The number of troops stationed at the Wai base had also increased.
"If you apply through your company, the chances of success will be higher. If you apply as an individual, they might not allow you to board the spaceship," Fang Zhao said.
Kevin Lin mumbled to himself and suddenly asked, "Hey, Fang Zhao, after your military service is over, you will surely go there often, right? Also, doesn't your company have a big piece of land at the Wai Film Entertainment Cultural Base? You have your own investments. Who knows, you might even get a supporting role in some series. Nowadays, aren't all the celebrities with a bit of fame being invited to guest star in movies? Even that Mazhou shooter, Ma Xier, made a guest appearance in a movie as a sniper killer. Acting out of friendship or something like that can increase one's popularity. "
In Kevin Lin's opinion, Fang Zhao making a guest appearance, showing his face, gaining some popularity, and satisfying his craving was enough. There was no way he could play an important supporting role, let alone the lead role.
Fang Zhao smiled but did not say anything. His communications device rang.
"Denzel?" Fang Zhao was astonished.
"Fang Zhao, have you returned to the outpost?"
Denzel looked thinner than before, and he did not seem to be in a good state of mind, as if he had not slept well in a long time.
"I have. What's the matter?" Fang Zhao asked.
"Can you help me contact planet Wai? I wish to rent a body of water in planet Wai's polar regions. I have already completed all the necessary approval documents for breeding. If not for the fact that the polar regions on Earth do not allow private rentals, I would have successfully started breeding here long ago. "
Denzel had heard from planet Wai's research base that Fang Zhao had been to planet Wai. Although he had already left the Academy of Science, his connections were still there. It was not difficult to find out that Fang Zhao had been to planet Wai.
The polar regions no longer allowed breeding. Denzel had gone over with a pile of approval documents, only to be told that the area was no longer rented. Denzel was extremely anxious now. He had contacted many people for help and found out from a classmate at the Wai research base that the polar regions of planet Wai's polar regions were closer to Earth's. But now that planet Wai's vetting was very strict, they could not help much, but they told Denzel that Fang Zhao might be able to pass a message to Huo Yi directly.
Now, Huo Yi was full of confidence and was putting on airs. Planet Wai no longer lacked research projects. The application for a key research base had been successful, and there was no need for other research projects to be inserted. Huo Yi took a look at the application and immediately deleted it.
Huo Yi would rather not bring in any new projects than make a mistake. Many people were watching them. If the two existing research bases were developed well, things would naturally go smoothly in the future. Such a good situation could not be ruined.
Now, he did not need to do the vetting himself. There were professionals in charge of the investment aspect. Huo Yi just needed to understand it every once in a while.
Thus, Denzel looked for Fan Lin and obtained Fang Zhao's activity time at the outpost. Only when Fang Zhao finished his day's missions and returned to the outpost did he hurriedly contact Fan Lin.
"If it is successful, I will give you a 30% discount on the feed. No, 50%! As long as you can help, 50% off the feed. How about that? That sea slug eats a lot, so it is impossible for the feed to be free. However, a 50% discount is already the best we can offer, "Denzel said." I don't need much. Just pass a message to Huo Yi. "
Fang Zhao did not immediately agree. Instead, he asked, "Only breeding krill? Send me the electronic version of the approval documents. "
Denzel sent Fang Zhao a large batch of documents. He had already prepared the required documents. If not for the fact that Earth's waters were prohibited from being rented, he would not have needed to seek Fang Zhao's help.
Speaking of which, Denzel also felt sullen. Originally, after finding out that Fang Zhao had a dog worth over a hundred million, he had planned to sell feed to Fang Zhao at a high price. Unfortunately, before he could put it into practice, he had to seek Fang Zhao's help. Not only could he not sell it at a high price, he had to give him a discount.
Fang Zhao gave the documents a cursory glance and nodded. "I will ask first. I will inform you immediately if there is any news."
After ending the call, Fang Zhao carefully read through the approval documents one by one. These documents did not involve any technical secrets. Even if they did, Denzel had already applied for a patent on them and was not afraid of them being stolen. Otherwise, Denzel would not have sent these documents over so decisively.
After looking through them, Fang Zhao found a map of planet Wai. These were all given to them by Huo Yi. The map was not complete, but it showed all the places that could be purchased.
