The story is about Zhejiang merchants The "One Hundred Thousand Families" tells the story of Zhejiang merchants: a water town in Huzhou, with traditional mulberry and silk as its pillar industry, unexpectedly encounters trade barriers in product exports. A series of stories unfold after the leading enterprise, the Shen Group, falls into a crisis, vividly depicting the various contradictions and problems faced by contemporary Zhejiang merchants in the regional economic development. They continually shift their economic growth strategies, transforming and evolving their enterprises and themselves in a difficult process. The tenacity and progress of the Zhejiang merchants in the drama may provide warmth and strength to those facing an economic winter. To gain a deeper understanding of Zhejiang merchants, the director and screenwriters traveled throughout Zhejiang, visiting one enterprise after another, engaging in deep conversations with local private entrepreneurs. "Many scenes in the play come from them. For example, when the script mentions river pollution caused by traditional industrial methods, I didn't know how to proceed until Shen Aiqin, the president of Wanshili, took me to visit their factory and provided me with ideas," said director Chen Guoxin. Emotions speak to the nation "This film is very timely; it comes during the financial tsunami this year, with funding shortages, rising labor costs, and declining market demand. Enterprises face choices, and the drama perfectly reflects the current economic situation," said Cheng Weidong, one of the project's planners and editor-in-chief of Zhejiang Radio and Television Group, at yesterday's launch conference. In the trailer played on-site, as the Shen Group faced export trade barriers, various hidden contradictions were intensified, plunging the entire industrial chain into crisis. "The generational transitions in family businesses, industrial upgrades in township enterprises, and modern transformations of traditional enterprises encountered in the development of the private economy are all reflected in 'One Hundred Thousand Families.' The current Zhejiang merchants are facing these issues again. This drama does not merely pose questions but profoundly reveals a generation's transformation from production and operation models to psychological endurance and conceptual renewal. It clearly conveys the hardships of transformation; today's millionaire can be penniless tomorrow. Facing the realities of economic trends and market risks, years of accumulation can vanish in an instant. This reality is cruel, sharp, and deeply significant," said Guo Yunde, a reporter from the Literary Department of the People's Daily. Experts view "One Hundred Thousand Families" as a rare textbook and motivational film for merchants across the country amid the current financial tsunami. The price of 500,000 per episode is quite high Bearing the task of "paying tribute to the 30th anniversary of reform and opening up," while also undertaking the theme of "the transformation of Zhejiang merchants during the transition period," "One Hundred Thousand Families" is destined to be a major thematic production. "Who says major themes aren't entertaining?" said Yan Bingyan, the actress who plays a young and capable female factory director, proudly noting on stage, "The drama includes love triangles that housewives enjoy, and power struggles in the business world that appeal to corporate elites, all centered around the core of 'Zhejiang merchants' transformation.'" Also, Ni Zhengwei, chairman of Zhejiang Film and Television Group, proudly revealed that "One Hundred Thousand Families" has premiered on CCTV's prime time, selling for a high price of 500,000 per episode, comparable to historical epic dramas. This price is already very high for contemporary dramas, as the story is well-told.
