Confession of Rebirth

Although it was in a busy city, the atmosphere between the two was inexplicably silent for a moment.

Zhong Lisui's eyes drifted away, and he saw a lot of young people wearing colorful headgear, dressed in novelty and other styles, and carrying all kinds of strange props at a booth next to him, and asked a little bit puzzled: "What is this for sale?"

"They are the developers of the game "Legend of Immortals and Demons." Gu Chen explained: "They don't sell anything, they just promote their game."

Gu Chen mentioned to Mr. Sun before that he wanted to use "The Legend of Immortals and Demons" to promote the February [-] market.Mr. Sun fully agreed, and not only helped Gu Chen invite the hero and heroine of "Legend of Immortals and Demons" to record VCR, but also arranged for a few popular supporting roles in the play to change into the costumes in the play, and be guests in the night's live broadcast room.

In addition, Mr. Sun also helped Gu Chen contact the copyright owner of the game, and persuaded the copyright owner to sponsor this bazaar.The game copyright owner sponsored 50 yuan, asked for a booth, and invited a cosplay club that is particularly famous among players to hold role-playing activities on the day of the market to interact with players and tourists.

In fact, it's not just the copyright owner of "Legend of Immortals and Demons". When Gu Chen was inviting the booth, he also specifically consulted Director Yi of the Bureau of Cultural Relics, asking him for help, and invited some master craftsmen of intangible heritage to set up a stall in the market Make clay figurines, blow sugar figurines, cut window grilles, and perform shadow puppetry.

"...If there were not too many people in the market and I was worried about fire safety, I almost invited people to perform the iron tree and silver flower."

Zhong Lisui quietly listened to Gu Chen's words, and said with a smile: "Is this the folk commercial street you want to build? It can allow tourists to feel the cultural and historical atmosphere with an immersive experience while shopping?"

Gu Chen nodded: "Almost."

After a pause, Gu Chen asked Zhong Lisui again: "What do you think?"

Zhong Lisui said: "If I were a customer, I would be very willing to visit such a commercial street. I can also shop, eat, play, and experience the local customs. It is much more interesting than shopping."

Gu Chen said: "We just want to develop a theme commercial street with national characteristics. Our target is not only the consumers who come to shop, but also hope that through our transformation, we can integrate the commercial street and those cultural relics with historical accumulation , Those folk arts with humanistic feelings and old restaurants are united to create a new tourist attraction. I believe that the profit and income generation under this model, including the promotion of national culture and positive rendering of national self-confidence, is far more meaningful More than building the business circle itself.”

Zhong Lisui looked at Gu Chen who was talking eloquently, and smiled warmly: "I believe you can do it."

Gu Chen also smiled, rubbed his hands together and asked Zhong Lisui: "Are you cold?"

Zhong Lisui was indeed a little cold.Unexpectedly, the cold spring is so cold and the cold wind is so biting.

"Then let's go to the teahouse and drink some tea to warm our stomachs." Gu Chen said with a smile, "The official activities will not start until eight o'clock in the evening."

As Gu Chen said, he led Zhong Lisui towards the direction of the teahouse.On the way, I also bought a few packs of fried chestnuts and almond cakes, boiled edamame beans, and Aiwowo. I passed by a Chinese pastry shop and smelled the rich and sweet aroma coming out of it. I asked Zhong Lisui, "Do you eat camellia noodles?"

Knowing that Gu Chen likes to eat sweets, Zhong Li said with a smile, "Eat it, I don't like too sweet things. I'll help you."

With that said, Zhong Li took over the snacks and snacks in Gu Chen's hand, and asked Gu Chen to buy camellia noodles.

The boys and girls who were queuing looked at Gu Chen and Zhong Lisui with a smile on their faces, and some took out their mobile phones to take pictures quietly.After being discovered by Gu Chen, Wen Sheng stopped him.

Gu Chen lined up to buy the camellia noodles.After taking a sip, he exclaimed, "It's really delicious. The camellia noodles are very thick, and there are also black sesame seeds and crushed peanuts, which are delicious."

Zhong Li smiled and said, "You bought so many things, can you eat it?"

"I'll take it back and give it to the professor's wife." Gu Chen said with a smile, "There are so many people in the teahouse, I'm afraid I won't be enough to eat."

"Then let's buy more." Zhong Li glanced at the booth next to him selling candied haws: "Do you eat candied haws?"

Gu Chen nodded.

Zhongli then paid the bill, but instead of taking the candied haws, he asked the stall owner to send the candied haws to the teahouse.

Gu Chen looked at Zhong Lisui.

Zhong Li smiled and said: "You are not worried, if you buy less, you won't be enough to eat. Then let's buy more."

good idea!

Gu Chen's eyes lit up.In this way, you can eat whatever you want, and you don't have to worry about wasting food.

Gu Chen gave Zhong Li a thumbs up.Along the way, the two of them began to buy all kinds of snacks they wanted to eat unscrupulously, and asked people to send them directly to the teahouse.

Just walked all the way and bought all the way. When they arrived at the teahouse, Professor Xing and his party were already surrounded by snacks.Even the camera crew in charge of filming the footage at the bazaar sat around and ate.

"It takes so long to pick someone up." Professor Xing looked at Gu Chen, whose face was flushed from the cold, and said, "Come here and have a cup of tea to warm your stomach."

As he said that, Professor Xing took another look at Zhong Lisui, who was following Gu Chen with a large bag in his hand, and nodded.

Zhong Li smiled slightly and put the snacks on the table.

Shen Xingzhou said excitedly: "Just now we confirmed with a certain treasure.com. So far, the online sales of the major brands exhibited at the fair have exceeded 500 million."

Although the evening event has not yet officially started, the UP owners of the Jiliwala website have already started to live broadcast the tour.And everyone's live broadcast room will scroll through the brand's selling links.Netizens watch the live broadcast in the live broadcast room, and if they see something they are interested in, they can directly place an order to buy it.

Since the market opened at eight o'clock in the morning, it is now past eleven o'clock in the morning.In one morning, the amount of online sales alone has exceeded 500 million. This is not counting the amount of offline sales in the bazaar, and those time-honored stores that have not opened stores online-some merchants do not believe in online sales. Regarding online sales, no matter how much Gu Chen persuaded him, he refused to open an online store.Gu Chen had no choice but to let them go.

But now, seeing that online sales are so hot, it is estimated that some merchants will regret it.

The members of the western faction looked excited.Originally thought that the sales task of [-] million was impossible to complete.Everyone is ready to do their best to obey the destiny.But I didn't expect... Everyone looked at each other and smiled, thinking that completing the sales task of [-] million should be a sure thing.

"As expected of Professor Xing's favorite student." Director Sun praised with a smile: "The means of doing business are very flexible."

The most important thing is that today's plan not only achieves the economic goals, but also has a good response and reputation from the common people.Director Sun specially asked people to go to the market to investigate, and many tourists praised this novel commercial street model.

While talking, Director Sun's secretary suddenly answered the phone.He leaned over to Director Sun and whispered a few words, and saw Director Sun's expression turned serious, and he said, "The mayor is here."

Not only the mayor, but the entire leadership team of City A came here.There were also representatives and developers who had been supporting the Dongcheng faction before, and they all rushed over after hearing the news.

I want to come to the February 500 market before the event started, and the news that the online sales exceeded [-] million in four hours has already spread.

"That's right!" An hour later, a familiar face who often appeared on the news reports of City A held Professor Xing's hand: "Everyone has worked hard. Your efforts for the people and your contributions to economic construction are worthy of praise. Everyone is watching."

"It's nothing to be ashamed of." Professor Xing said with a smile: "We old bones also want to do something practical for the common people. Don't be misunderstood by everyone as just trying to gain fame."

As soon as these words came out, many people immediately smiled awkwardly.Huo Yuankai, the chairman of the Huo Group, stepped forward to smooth things over in person: "Mr. Xing was joking, you are all think tanks and national treasures. Who dares to say that you are trying to gain fame?"

Professor Xing just smiled and said nothing.I can't be bothered to deal with these people.

Gu Chen silently retreated to the back.Unexpectedly, people from the Ling Group also came over.Ling Fei said with a smile: "I never expected that our western faction could create such a lively market."

Gu Chen glanced at Ling Fei, but said nothing.The other members of the Western faction didn't look good either.It's not everyone's fault.Who made the Ling Group back down when the Western faction was questioned.The Western faction wanted to hold the February 100 market. Originally, they thought that the Ling Group was also a member of the Western faction. They wanted to ask the Ling Group to pay more to sponsor the fair, but the Ling Group refused to take the money. , I was in a hurry and only took out [-] million to buy two booths.He also ran to mess with the Huo Group, which supported the development of Dongcheng District.For this kind of wall grass at both ends.Everyone really has nothing to say.

Even if everyone is aware of the profit-seeking nature of capital, they still look down on such blatant behavior of the Ling Group.

Lingfei also knows that he is not welcome.The old bones of the western school disliked him for being full of money, and he was also annoyed by these experts and professors who pretended to be high-minded.To put it bluntly, if he wasn't driven by interests, he wouldn't bother to look at these people.Everyone looks at each other and hates each other.It's just because they have common interests, they barely get together.

Thinking of this, Ling Fei took another look at Gu Chen.Shaking his head secretly: It's a pity, a man with a lot of means is actually a stubborn donkey who doesn't get into it.

Gu Chen didn't know Ling Fei complained about him.He found a private room, took out his computer and mobile phone, and kept communicating with the Jiliwala website and a certain treasure.com, repeatedly confirming the various steps of the evening live broadcast event.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the activity finally started.

In the antique bazaar, a string of red lanterns coiled above the Confucius Temple like a fire dragon.The wishing lights in the lotus pond are scattered.Drones circled the sky above the bazaar.After a burst of whistles, colorful fireworks suddenly bloomed in the sky.

"Wow! Fireworks are set off!" The tourists gathered in the market were caught off guard, pointing to the fireworks blooming in the night sky, and exclaimed in surprise: "It's so beautiful!"

"There are fireworks!"

Tourists pulled out their mobile phones to take pictures and videos.

At this time, the february [-] lanterns and colorful boats that had been prepared for a long time also started slowly from the end of the market.

"Ahhhhhhhhh-"

"So beautiful!"

"I'll go! This is too spectacular!" Netizens standing in front of the computer screens also exclaimed.Although they can't participate in the market in person, what they see on the computer is actually more comprehensive than tourists.Not only that, but they also saw several actors of "Legend of Immortals and Demons" wearing costumes and masks in the play in the live broadcast room of the Jiliwala website, shopping in the market.

It's just because there are too many tourists in the same dress in the market (all clothes rented from the props group), that it didn't attract the attention of netizens.

This is also an easter egg specially arranged by Gu Chen.

"Yes! The VCR you just saw is a video of several actors from the TV series "The Legend of Immortals" that we broadcast last summer, shopping at the February [-]nd Market in City A. Now there is a video of "Immortals and Demons" A few actors from "Biography" came to our live broadcast room..."

"I'm going! No way! The sales live broadcast room on the Jiliwala website actually invited celebrities to the scene!"

"I knew it earlier! Not only the actors of "The Legend of Immortals and Demons", but also many celebrities and entertainers are here. They are all helping to sell goods. The Jiliwala website started promoting it three days ago, don't you know? "

"I don't know! Wait a minute, there is actually Teacher Lin Lanjuan! My dad likes her the most! I have to ask my dad to come and see..."

"I still like to watch the live market footage! It doesn't matter whether the stars watch it or not. The lanterns and boats in the market, as well as the clay figurines, sugar figurines, and paper-cut shadow puppets are so fun. I haven't even seen them before. "

"Look at that clay figurine, which is exactly like a real person. And it costs 20 yuan to make a clay figure. I want to go."

"Travel on May Day this year. I will definitely go."

"It will be gone at that time! Isn't the market on February [-] just for today!"

"Ah! What a pity! It's so lively!"

"So hurry up and read it, if you don't read it today, it will be gone!"

Therefore, under the word of mouth of netizens and viewers, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room of Jiliwala's website has gradually increased.Within an hour, the number of viewers exceeded 200 million.The staff of the website were so happy that they were grinning from ear to ear.

"Even if only one-tenth of these people stay, our website will make money!"

At the same time, the background staff of a certain treasure.com are also keeping an eye on the sales data.Seeing the rapidly increasing numbers in the background, everyone was dumbfounded: "This momentum is almost catching up with Double Eleven."
