The 94th edition of Romance of the Three Kingdoms is adapted by CCTV according to Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of the four classical novels of China's classical literature, with a total investment of 65438+700 million 1994. A TV series can invest hundreds of millions, which is definitely a big production. But unlike now, the expenses are not spent on actors' salaries, but mainly on TV production, of which nearly 1. For example, the two major film and television bases in Zhuozhou and Wuxi were established at that time, with more than 1 1,000 kinds and more than 30,000 sets of actors' costumes, costing about 5 million yuan; There are nearly 70,000 props, costing about 7 million yuan.
