CHAPTER 607: CHAPTER 582: FILM BASE, BOOMING! (PART 2)

Jun Jiu smiled slightly and explained, "These animals are legally and compliantly raised within the base, not rented. When we initially planned, we considered the issue of ecological balance, so we specially communicated with relevant government departments, who facilitated coordination with the Forestry Bureau and the Wildlife Conservation Association for joint approval, and obtained a special breeding permit."

"The environment here is originally suitable for their habitation, and we have hired a professional ecological team to simulate their natural habitat, ensuring that every animal receives the best care."

He pointed to a wetland in the distance, "For example, those white cranes, their habitat is in the area behind the palace, created entirely as a wetland ecosystem. The water quality, vegetation, and food chain are strictly controlled, even more meticulously than in some reserves."

Yan Yueqing nodded, her gaze falling on a few leisurely strolling red-bellied pheasants, "So these National First Class protected animals can also live here long-term?"

"Of course." Jun Jiu said confidently, "Not only have we obtained the breeding permit, but we have also taken on part of the breeding research mission for some endangered species. The reason the government made an exception to approve us is because of the base’s ecological conditions and our professional team. After all, if it were just for display, they wouldn’t agree, but if we can help these rare species to better reproduce, the significance is entirely different."

He smiled and added, "We regularly have expert teams come to assess their health conditions to ensure everything is compliant. So, these animals are not only ’residents’ of the base but also part of ecological protection."

A trace of admiration flashed in Yan Yueqing’s eyes.

Raising and breeding are two completely different things. To compliantly raise these species in a filming base and create an ecological garden where humans and nature complement each other, Jun Jiu indeed put in considerable effort.

She thought for a moment and asked, "When the crew comes here to film, will it affect them? After all, the shooting lights, equipment, and movement of personnel can disturb the animals’ normal lives."

Jun Jiu was well prepared and calmly explained, "We have considered this very thoroughly. Firstly, the base is strictly divided into a ’filming area’ and an ’ecological protection area.’ The crew can only move within designated areas, and the core habitats are completely closed. No one is allowed to enter without the accompaniment of a professional breeder."

He pointed towards a group of buildings partially hidden by bamboo forests in the distance, "For instance, the wetland habitat of the white cranes has visual barriers and acoustic buffers set. Even if filming nearby, it will not disturb them. Moreover, we require all crews to report filming plans in advance. If there is a need for large equipment or night lights, it must be evaluated by the ecological team to ensure it will not affect the animals’ biological clock and natural behavior."

"Additionally," Jun Jiu continued, "we have equipped each animal with a behavior monitoring system. If they exhibit stress responses, such as abnormal heart rates or sudden drops in activity levels, the system will immediately alert us, and we will adjust the filming schedule."

Yan Yueqing pondered, "Some animals are particularly sensitive, like birds that fear noise. How do you address this?"

"We simply do not place such species near the filming area." Jun Jiu laughed, "Birds like the brown eared pheasant and white-necked long-tailed pheasant, which are easily startled, have their habitats in the quietest corners of the back mountain, surrounded by natural barriers. All crews coming here must sign an agreement with us, prohibiting the use of drones, explosions, or any filming methods that might produce sudden noise within the animals’ activity range."

He paused, his tone serious, "In fact, the reason we were able to obtain the breeding permit was our commitment to the ’animal welfare first’ principle. If filming conflicts with conservation, we will not hesitate to halt filming—even at great loss."

Yan Yueqing nodded slightly, "No wonder it looks here both like a studio and a nature reserve. You have indeed considered every detail."

Jun Jiu gazed at the flying eaves faintly visible in the mist, "Filmmaking is the art of dreaming, but ecology is the foundation of reality. We want to prove that the two can coexist harmoniously."

It is easy to create a filming base.

But!!!!!!!

This is the first mission President Yue assigned to him!!!

A conventional and proper answer would carry no highlights; if something is to be done, it must be done to the utmost excellence.

Regular film studios are just settings, but what if he turns this into a ’living filming location’?

Why could Secretary Shi so quickly pass his project and provide so much policy support during construction?
