I returned to my hometown after winning the koi lottery.

In terms of the transformation of the filming location, Sister Xiaoyu relied on her many years of connections to find a professor specializing in film art academy to do the design. She planned to cleverly transform those abandoned factories and technology parks into the futuristic cyberspace in the play, which was both cost-effective and unique.

This work was particularly challenging, and all the staff in the studio came over.

Sister Xiaotao was a little excited and drove in front alone as if she wanted to see the place earlier.

Following the navigation, we soon arrived at the place. It was a former industrial park and is now very desolate.

Sister Xiaoyu introduced that this is the place.

Looking at this magnificent factory building, Sister Xiaotao sighed, it is such a big place.

It looks bigger than Shanghe Village where my grandma lives. I feel secretly happy in my heart, as if I have become a rich woman.

Xiao Taojie hopes to have a base that can quickly produce TV dramas like TVB, and to establish a factory that can create dreams for today's young people.

It would be best not to invest too much. She felt that it would be better to gather together everything that could be used so that the utilization rate of the factory could be maximized without having to run around.

Sister Xiaoyu walked around and came over to give her an estimate. She explained in detail that this plan could be divided into three investment phases.

The estimated investment to transform an abandoned industrial park factory covering an area of ​​more than 1 square meters into a film and television city is at least five to six million yuan.

This shocked Xiao Tao. The cost was a bit too much. She couldn't believe it. Xiao Yu explained the cost one by one. The estimated cost included the following items.

1. Infrastructure renovation costs: This includes dismantling unnecessary facilities and clearing the site, costing approximately 50-100 yuan per square meter. For a 1 square meter facility, this translates to approximately 50-100 yuan. If structural reinforcement is required, the cost will be even higher, potentially around 200-500 yuan per square meter. For a 1000 square meter facility, this translates to 20-50 yuan.

2. Set construction costs: For simple modern sets, such as residential buildings and offices, each might cost 5 to 10 yuan. For complex historical or sci-fi scenes, each might cost 30 to 10 yuan, or even more. Assuming an average of 10 sets, each costing 10 yuan, for a total of 100 million yuan.

3- Supporting facilities costs:

- Water and electricity facilities: Re-laying water and electricity lines, installing water and electricity meters and other facilities, is estimated to cost 50-100 yuan per square meter, and 50 square meters is 100-1 million yuan.

4- Lighting and sound: If you need lighting and sound equipment for basic filming, a simple set of lighting equipment may cost 5-10 yuan, and sound equipment 3-5 yuan. If you need multiple sets, the cost will be higher, so we estimate it at 20 yuan for now.

5- Dressing room, prop room, etc.: Construction of functional areas such as dressing rooms and prop rooms, plus the configuration of basic internal facilities, each room costs about 3 to 5 yuan. If there are about 5 rooms, the total cost is 15 to 25 yuan.

6- Operating costs:

- Personnel expenses: including management personnel, scene maintenance personnel, equipment repair personnel, etc., assuming that the annual employee salary expenditure is about 50 to 100 million yuan.

7- Equipment update and maintenance: Reserve 10-20 yuan each year for equipment update and maintenance.

Sister Xiaoyu smiled and said that these are all basic expenses, each of which is very necessary and cannot be saved.

According to the above estimates, more than 1 square meters of abandoned industrial park buildings will be transformed into a film and television city.

The initial construction investment may be around 300 million to 600 million yuan, and the annual operating cost in the later stage will be around 60 to 120 million yuan.

Of course, this is just a rough estimate, and the specific cost will vary depending on factors such as actual renovation needs, equipment brand and quality, and regional differences.

Sister Xiaotao thought about it and decided that it didn’t matter now. Since she was getting married anyway, she planned to set up a wedding venue here.

It should be useful when filming in the future.

It would be best if the wedding scene had this retro style, which would definitely be useful for filming in the future.

The idea of ​​a retro dream wedding in an abandoned factory filled Sister Xiaoyu with imagination.

If it is possible, it can be considered, because Sister Xiaoyu had a flash of inspiration. This is to build a wedding manor and put the fixed assets into operation, which can be a place to make money.

On the edge of the city, this long-abandoned industrial park factory covering an area of ​​more than 1 square meters stands quietly, like a giant that has been sleeping for a long time.

However, Sister Xiaoyu, a remarkable woman with infinite creativity and romantic feelings, saw a different kind of vitality in it - she wanted to transform this barren land into a retro wedding scene that carries love and dreams, and allow it to be perfectly integrated into the shooting scenes of online short dramas in the future.

After returning home, Xiaoyu began to plan the preliminary preparations: awakening the dormant factory and presenting the preliminary design drawings step by step on the computer, which made Xiaotao, who was watching next to her, a little excited.

The meaning of design is to turn dreams into reality. Watching the simulated pictures on the computer step by step and generating them bit by bit, it is just like the real thing.

The first step in the renovation project was to free the factory from its dilapidated and gloomy appearance.

A professional cleaning team arrived with a variety of tools. High-pressure water guns washed away years of dust on the walls, brooms swept away the thick dust and debris on the ground, and large vacuum cleaners were used to clean the corners, restoring the space to its initial cleanliness. This step cost about 5 yuan.

Considering the safety and visual appeal of the wedding, the factory's structural inspection and reinforcement were essential. Engineers conducted a thorough inspection and reinforced several load-bearing walls and beams to ensure they could withstand the crowds and subsequent filming during the wedding. The reinforcement cost approximately 30 yuan.

At the same time, the old doors and windows were removed and replaced with retro-style wooden carved window frames and heavy iron doors, totaling 20 nights of yuan. Sunlight streamed in through the new windows, creating mottled light and shadows, as if opening a time tunnel.

The second step is scene setting: replicating the retro splendor.

Upon entering the factory, the first thing that catches your eye is the main wedding area. A stage, modeled after the vestibule of a vintage European church, rises from the ground. Its solid wood frame is decorated with exquisite plaster carvings. The construction cost approximately 15 yuan in materials, including wood, plaster, and labor.

The background wall is going to be a giant hand-painted retro oil painting depicting a classic love myth scene. The painter will paint it carefully and the estimated value is 8 yuan.

The guest chairs under the stage are retro-style wooden armchairs, with a rental fee of 3 yuan. The aisle is covered with red carpet and flanked by retro iron candlesticks. The flickering candlelight creates a romantic atmosphere, and the candlesticks cost 5 yuan to purchase.

The dessert area is designed to resemble an early 20th-century French pastry shop. The wooden cabinets are filled with meticulously crafted vintage cakes, macarons, and other desserts. The cabinets themselves cost 6 yuan, and the desserts themselves cost 2 yuan.

The ice cream truck next to it was bought from a flea market and carefully restored. The body of the truck was painted to match the wedding theme and cost 4 yuan. The truck sells handmade ice cream, bringing sweetness and coolness to the guests.
