Chapter 367 Publicity and Linkage
After handing over the decoration of the boxes on the second floor of the theater to Yang Liu, Jiang Qi returned to the amusement park on his battery car with satisfaction.
He dared to hand over this medium-sized task to Yang Liu because he naturally had confidence in the design skills of Xin Liangquan and Wu Jingyi.
Jiang Qi only found out that these two interns were actually interns led by Xin Liangquan when Yang Liu and Liu Rui handed him the villa design and decoration plan and explained it.
Xin Liangquan is a considerate and good master.
Although he silently gave the amusement park a bad review when he accompanied his daughter to the amusement park, this did not prevent him from being a rare good leader and master at work.
Opportunities are the most precious thing in the designer office where they work, where interns don't even deserve to be paid, and those who stay during the Chinese New Year have to work overtime to make life difficult.
Xuecun's subsidized business trip opportunity, which is barely considered a big project, is a good opportunity that interns in the office are eager to get.
When Wu Jingyi came to be a designer assistant when the amusement park was being renovated, she was already a regular employee of the design firm. Before that, she had worked for free for two years before she got this opportunity.
Yang Liu and Liu Rui were able to get such a good opportunity while they were still interns only because Xin Liangquan was willing to take them.
When Jiang Qi asked these two interns to help design the decoration of the villa, he originally wanted to use Wu Jingyi's design for free. The interior decoration of many of Jiang Bing's shops in Taiping Town was designed by Wu Jingyi, and the quality was not bad, at least based on Jiang Qi and Jiang Bing's aesthetics.
As a result, Jiang Qi had the idea of buying a 65-point product for free, and got an 80-point product for free.
Xin Liangquan was worried that the free design drawings produced by his two interns were too bad, so he changed 80% of them himself, and the final product was amazing.
This time, as long as Xin Liangquan is willing to change 50% of the theater box himself, Jiang Qi thinks there will be no problem with the decoration of the box.
Thank you so much to the designers!
Jiang Qi felt that after the snow village was built, he would secretly give Xin Liangquan a big red envelope.
.
In the amusement park, there was a queue in front of Lillian's gnome stall that was as long as the one at the door of the toy theater.
A normal queue is either a long straight queue or a snake-shaped queue that twists and turns like a greedy snake.
The queue in front of the goblin stall was a bit different.
The first section of this line is straight. Starting from about the 30th person, it will turn into a right angle. After about 20 people, it will turn back and form a long snake-shaped line.
If you look at it from top to bottom, the queue probably has a right angle in front and a dense crowd of people behind it.
The queues are arranged like this purely to facilitate interaction.
For tourists queuing up, being among the top 50 is a victory. Because as long as you are in the top 50, you will get a viewing seat, and you can listen to Lillian, a poor magician from another world, telling you stories about another world at close range. If you are lucky, you can even interact with Lillian.
If you get to the top 10 in line, you can take photos with Lilian, and you may even get a beautiful little jewelry from Lilian - a grass ring made by Kua Kua.
This resulted in many tourists who ordered products that did not require queuing insisting on queuing. Some even queued up while drinking coffee made by Lili herself, just to listen to stories, interact and take photos.
In order to prevent such a weird long queue from causing order problems, the amusement park even specially arranged for three security guards to guard the queue to maintain order and deliver food.
Coffee, a product that can be served quickly, is delivered to the queue by the security guard (you can scan the QR code at the Goblin stall and use the mini program to order). If you want to use the restroom in the middle of the queue, you can go to the security guard and get a 15-minute timer number plate. 15 You can join the queue if you return within 15 minutes, and you can requeue after 15 minutes.
After Jiang Qi returned to the amusement park, the first thing he did was to go to the express delivery point to pick up the express delivery.
He bought a new mobile phone case that made him rich overnight. This kind of important express delivery needs to be picked up in time. The early effect is the best.
Then Jiang Qi met Jiang Cha at the express delivery point.
Jiang Cha didn't know what he bought. There were three big boxes, which looked quite heavy. Although she could hold her, in order to prevent normal people from marveling at how such a weak woman turned out to be a strong man, Jiang Cha still took a small stroller and pushed her away.
"What did you buy? So much." Jiang Qi asked.
"It's not mine, it's Lili's." Jiang Cha said that she was just helping to pick up the express delivery. She glanced at the cardboard boxes stacked on the trolley and said, "It seems that they are all coffee concentrate."
Jiang Qi: "Coffee concentrate? Didn't Lili initially insist on using coffee beans to make hand-made freshly ground coffee?"
"Hand-grinding is too time-consuming. Before, Lili's coffee sales were not very good and she could grind it by hand. Now that she sells hundreds of cups of coffee a day, how can she have time to grind it?"
Jiang Qi:......
Lili, you have changed. You are no longer like yourself because of money.
"Then why do you want to buy it online? If you just buy coffee concentrate, wouldn't it be cheaper through the amusement park's purchasing channel?"
Jiang Cha thought for a while: "Is there such a possibility... Because Lili doesn't know how to settle accounts, she sees that we all like to buy things online, so she thinks that the things bought online must be the cheapest."
Jiang Qi nodded and took the trolley: "Let me help Lili deliver it. Should it be sent to the doll house or to the abandoned theater?"
"Send directly to the goblin stall."
"OK."
Jiang Qi transformed into a delivery boy, put on his newly bought Get Rich Overnight mobile phone case and started delivering goods diligently.
There were no obstacles along the way. The tourists queuing up at the Goblin stall saw Jiang Qi pushing a small cart to deliver goods. Even though he was not wearing the employee uniform of the amusement park, they assumed that he was an employee replenishing goods and voluntarily gave way. Come to prevent Jiang Qi from going astray.
Lilian's eyes almost popped out when she saw that it was Jiang Qi who was delivering the goods.
"Help me move it." Jiang Qi whispered.
Lillian nodded, and under Jiang Qi's physical performance, she floated up and flew into the three large boxes of coffee in the kitchen of the dining car, as if Jiang Qi had worked hard to move them in.
Jiang Qi also took the opportunity to go into the small kitchen of the dining car to see what was going on inside.
The kitchen area is very small, not only small but also short. The internal height is only two meters. Normal people will definitely feel very depressed and uncomfortable if they stay in it for a long time.
But Kua Kua and Lili don't have this problem.
Lili is just a rag doll. Kua Kua's height is not much higher than that of a rag doll. Kua Kua and Li Li normally cook and make drinks by standing directly on the cooking table. Although the dining car kitchen is small, it is very comfortable for them. .
"Banban!" Seeing Jiang Qi coming, Lili skillfully swooped into his arms.
Lili has been busy making coffee these days. After finishing it during the day, she makes it at night. She can ask Jiang Cha to cast a spell on the coffee she made in the evening and save it until the next day.
Lili's ability to leave the dollhouse has been greatly reduced. She can multi-purpose in the dollhouse. She can make coffee while rubbing Jiang Qi's neck, and help Old John get slippers, newspapers, and reading glasses while making coffee. She is the master in control of everything in the dollhouse.
If the previous explosion hadn't happened suddenly and Lili was unprepared, it wouldn't have exploded like that.
But Lili couldn't be so wanton after leaving the dollhouse.
At least she has to concentrate when making coffee. If she is preoccupied with watching TV series and making coffee at the same time, the coffee she makes will probably not taste much better than washing the pot with water.
Probably this is why Lili gave up her principle of not making freshly ground coffee and switched to coffee concentrate. Even Lili couldn't stand making coffee day and night.
"Banban, Lili makes a lot of money!" Lili proudly announced to Jiang Qi that she was no longer herself. She was now an enhanced version of Lili who was making money every day.
"Lili is awesome!" Jiang Qi praised. He glanced around the car and found that Kua Kua was not there. He just thought he was dazzled and didn't notice the little Kua Kua.
"Where's the boast?"
"Get the food." Lili said.
As soon as Lili finished speaking, Kua Kua appeared out of thin air in the kitchen holding a large basket of vegetables.
"Hi boss."
Seeing Jiang Qi coming, Kua Kua quickly put down the vegetable basket, teleported to the freezer, opened the freezer and took out a glass of ice-cold grass juice and handed it to Jiang Qi.
"Boss, if you need anything, you can send me a message on WeChat directly. You don't have to come in person. I'd like to praise that no matter how busy we are here, we can always serve you!"
Jiang Qi smiled and took the iced grass juice. It seemed inappropriate to drink ice-cold iced drinks on this day, but who said there was a warming spell on his clothes? The comfortable temperature of 25℃ made Jiang Qi drink whatever he wanted. Just drink whatever you want.
"I just came over to see if you were busy." Jiang Qi said with a smile.
Since the Goblin stall opened, Jiang Qi has not yet entered the kitchen of this food truck.
Jiang Qi began to look at the small kitchen carefully.
The kitchen is not big, but there are many stoves, a total of 6.
Three freezers, three coffee machines, four large built-in ovens, countless cups, packing boxes and a bunch of messy gadgets filled this small kitchen to the brim.
Normal people would go crazy when they see this kitchen. They would break down and grab the designer by the neck and ask him, who is this kitchen designed for? There is no room for anyone to stand at all.
Fortunately, this kitchen is for goblins, so there is no need to stand.
But... why are there 6 stoves?
Jiang Qi was about to ask when he saw Kua Kua skillfully adding water to the six pots one by one, putting them on the stove and turning on the heat. He added different ingredients to different pots and cooked six large pots at once.
The movements are so skillful, add water, turn on the fire, clean the ingredients, cut the ingredients, add the ingredients, add seasonings, stir, the whole process is smooth and smooth, just like the scenes drawn in cartoons.
As if the time had been calculated, the cakes in the four ovens were baked as soon as Kua Kua finished working on the stove.
Kua Kua put on his gloves, took out the cakes one by one, quickly packed the boxes according to the order, and put them in the food delivery window.
"Ms. Lilian, the orders for numbers 367 to 391 are ready."
Kua Kua started making the next batch of cakes.
From the time he brought the vegetable basket over to now, Kua Kua has never stopped for a moment. The only thing he did that was not work was to get Jiang Qi a glass of grass juice.
Jiang Qi was dumbfounded.
This is too exaggerated. Even a machine can't do such high-intensity work as Kua Kua. How can this be the strongest worker?
"Has Kua Kua always been like this these days?" Jiang Qi asked Li Li.
Lili, who had no orders to make, nodded solemnly: "Exaggerate how awesome you are!"
King Juan, really King Juan.
Jiang Qi announced that Wang Xinghua, the scroll king, had lost in front of Kua Kua, and it was time for the title of the strongest scroll king in the amusement park to change hands.
Wang Xinghua was convinced by this work efficiency.
.
In the next few days, it was business as usual at the amusement park, except for a slight reduction in passenger flow.
After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, most office workers have taken their annual leave, and those who can still leisurely play in the amusement park are mostly students on winter vacation.
The haunted house reopened on the tenth day of the lunar month. The reopening of the haunted house caused a slight rebound in the amusement park's passenger flow.
The haunted house is one of the ace projects of the amusement park. Many bold tourists who want to find excitement come to the amusement park for the haunted house. They queue up all day long to play in the haunted house from morning to night.
And because some of the mechanisms of the haunted house are controlled by Lili, for tourists who play the game several times a day until Lili has a little impression of it, Lili will add ingredients to increase the horror level by a few levels.
As long as you want it, Lili can give you scenes from various classic ghost movies.
Then the tourists who came to the haunted house became even more excited. They regarded this mechanism as a special easter egg in the amusement park. They posted various posts on the Internet to share that they would get surprises if they visited the haunted house more often. Lucky ones might even get ghosts that hit the wall.
Therefore, on the day the Haunted House reopened on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, there were more than one person queuing up outside the haunted house, almost catching up with the people who lined up to see the explosion on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
As for Leader Feng, he really helped Jiang Qi contact many opera actors who were like him, wandering between the state of starvation and not having enough to eat.
Leader Feng made up a lot of lies that day when he tried to trick Feng Ling into singing in their troupe, but when he chatted with Grandpa Liu Lan, he told the truth, and when he finally confessed to Jiang Qi, he told the truth.
For opera actors in a small place like theirs, who have no formal establishment, little fame, and few opportunities to perform, it is already considered good to be like him.
Leader Feng has a son and an apprentice. The three of them are usually tied together, and they can barely make ends meet in the past few years. Many people who work alone have changed careers and are doing anything, including acting and sales. The younger ones are working hard to take public exams and get a job. There are a lot of such people in the circle of friends of Leader Feng.
Although many of these people have changed careers, their singing skills have not been lost much.
Leader Feng would take jobs and work odd jobs in Leader Feng's troupe during the holidays, and he could earn several hundred yuan for a performance. Singing for ten days is worth several thousand, which is a lot of extra money.
These people are capable and experienced, but have been so hit by reality that they have given up their dream of getting ahead and revitalizing opera by becoming famous actors through singing, but at the same time they still have some love for opera and are relatively short of money.
This is the kind of person Jiang Qi needs.
Faced with Leader Feng's matchmaking, many former opera actors who were not satisfied with their current jobs accepted the invitation to interview at the amusement park. In addition, Gong Ye helped Jiang Qi contact him, and there were actually a number of opera actors who wanted to participate in the interview. More than thirty.
The interview was scheduled for March 2, and the interviewers were Feng Ling and Wang Xinghua.
Now, the auditorium on the first floor of the theater has been decorated according to Wang Xinghua's memory.
The VIP seats in the front row are a small round table and chairs, a small table with 4 chairs. The normal seats in the back are cushioned chairs. The chairs are placed side by side. They look shabby but are very comfortable to sit on.
According to Wang Xinghua's memory, the empty seats on both sides could actually be used to sell some standing tickets with very bad viewing angles, but Jiang Qi vetoed this.
Standing tickets are too shabby, so the seats on both sides are reserved for the fishing staff to stand and watch.
As for the decoration of the private rooms on the second floor, Yang Liu and Liu Rui have already produced good plans. Jiang Qi didn't understand the design very well, but based on Xin Liangquan's reaction to changing it overnight, the design shouldn't be very good. He could start decorating it after Xin Liangquan had finished modifying the private rooms on the second floor.
It can be said that the theater is ready for everything, all it needs is the east wind.
On the morning of February 28, Jiang Qi took Wang Xinghua, Feng Ling, Shen Lirong and Hu Qing to the conference room to hold the first meeting of the new year in the amusement park regarding the theater's debt.
The theme of the meeting is——
How to quickly promote the theater.
Would anyone go to an amusement park just to watch a show?
Jiang Qi thinks there may be, but it should be very few.
Tickets cannot be sold at the city theater, let alone at the amusement park.
The theater has to sell tickets.
Jiang Qi spent a lot of money to build a theater troupe and recruit so many opera actors. After the actors were in place, he still had to spend time and energy rehearsing the opera. There are also boxes, VIP seats and general audience seats in the theater, so it is impossible to watch for free.
So how much the theater tickets cost becomes a question.
It's definitely not too expensive. Who would spend a lot of money on tickets to watch a movie in an amusement park when they have enough to eat and nothing to do.
The ticket price in Taiping Town is only 20 yuan. Jiang Qi thinks that ordinary theater tickets can be sold for 10 yuan or 20 yuan. After all, tourists have already bought tickets to enter the amusement park.
VIP seats and boxes are a bit more expensive, with special treatment and special prices.
Then they will sell melon seed snacks and tea with very cheap prices and small quantities. If the theater can be full, with luck, it may be able to attract some traffic to the amusement park. In this way, at least the theater troupe will not lose money.
The problem now is how to get tourists into the theater.
Hu Qing, who has always been very thoughtful, had a little trouble with this matter.
Regarding the fact that Jiang Qi suddenly wanted to transform the abandoned theater from a live-action script into a serious theater, Hu Qing's attitude was not understanding, but he listened to the boss.
In Hu Qing's opinion, this was just a willful little hobby of his wealthy boss.
After all, leaving aside the fact that the Abandoned Theater and the Time Cinema actually cost only 1 million to build, everyone would think that these two projects are the most failed projects of the amusement park.
Huge theaters and cinemas are neither popular nor able to draw traffic. The cinema is slightly better. It plays unpopular movies every day. Many tourists who are tired from shopping will go in to watch movies and take a rest, which is somewhat useful.
Theater Hu Qing really doesn’t understand.
Such a big theater has two floors of auditoriums alone. The railings on the stage are even carved with patterns. There is a warehouse, a yard, staff dormitories, and a kitchen. Such a complete and complete theater is actually used for live-action scripted movies, and it only opens once a day.
After Jiang Qi wanted to turn the theater back into a theater and formed a theater troupe in the amusement park, Hu Qing suddenly felt that it was good as before.
Although it doesn't make money and the construction costs are basically down the drain, at least it doesn't lose money.
Boss, aren't you going to make a total loss by forming a troupe in an amusement park?
All the twenty or so people in a troupe need to be paid!
Hu Qing had previously thought that Jiang Qi's opening of an advanced mathematics tutoring class in an amusement park was outrageous, but he didn't expect that he would be even more outrageous now.
The former is outrageous, but the effect is okay. Not only did it help the amusement park sell a lot of monthly, quarterly and half-year passes, it also promoted catering consumption in the amusement park and rented out houses around the amusement park to a certain extent.
The most important thing is that the former does not burn money!
The high-mathematics tutoring amusement park has only one warehouse from start to finish.
To form a troupe, the amusement park will need more than twenty employees!
Hu Qing felt overwhelmed by a series of miscellaneous expenses such as employee wages, water and electricity bills, maintenance costs, etc.
Hu Qing had been trying so hard these days but could not come up with a good way to promote the theater. When he thought that after the theater was established, there would be an additional project in the amusement park that would lose hundreds of thousands a month, Hu Qing felt overwhelmed. .
Although our amusement park is now profitable, boss, you can't suffer such losses!
Hu Qing looked at Jiang Qi, who was sitting at the front of the conference room, with resentment in his eyes.
Jiang Qi, who felt a little resentment from Hu Qing:...
Did Manager Hu not have a good rest last night? Why does he feel like he is not in very good spirits today? He is a little sluggish and can't even open his eyes.
"Ahem." Jiang Qi coughed twice and cleared his throat.
"Everyone, regarding the diversion of theaters, have you come up with any good plans these days?" Jiang Qi asked with a smile.
Hu Qing sat up straight and turned his attention to Wang Xinghua and Feng Ling, wanting to see if they had come up with any good ideas.
If his colleagues have no ideas, he can only go on stage and talk about his conservative solutions.
"I have a plan here." Feng Ling stood up embarrassedly, "Because I can't do PPT. Although I have come up with the plan, I didn't do the PPT well. Can I just say this?"
"Of course." Jiang Qi smiled and nodded.
It is indeed a bit difficult for an 81-year-old grandmother to do PPT.
"It's like this. Through working in Taiping Town these days, I discovered that theaters can actually be linked with Taiping Town."
Everyone:!
"Linkage?" Jiang Qi was a little surprised.
"Just from the stage and the seats on the first floor, the decoration of the theater is very simple, with basically no modern elements. As long as tourists don't enter the courtyard and see the rooms in the courtyard, they say it is the new building in Taiping Town. There is absolutely no problem with the theater opening.”
Hearing what Feng Ling said, Hu Qing's eyes suddenly lit up and he blurted out: "What you mean is to put the theater's promotion in Taiping Town and tell the news about a new theater in the town through the NPC in Taiping Town. , thus attracting tourists.”
Feng Ling nodded: "As far as I know, before I joined the company, there was a special event in Taiping Town. An old lady would hand out New Year's coupons behind a small window."
"Yes, yes." Jiang Qi nodded perfunctorily.
"That window is very good. Theater tickets do not have to be sold in the theater. Tickets can be sold directly at that window."
"That window is perfect for advertising, and theater tickets have been sold for copper coins. And since it is a newly opened theater in Taiping Town, there must be an opening discount."
"Generally speaking, the opening discount of a theater is discounted tickets and free tea. We can also do this. We can even let the residents of Taiping Town buy tickets to watch the movie in the theater on the opening day, together with ordinary tourists."
"In this way, the theater becomes part of Taiping Town. And the distance between the theater and Taiping Town is actually not too far. The theater cannot be open all day. My suggestion is that the opera actors recruited should first serve as actors before the theater is officially opened. The new NPC in Taiping Town is designed as the new theater troupe in the town."
"Let the opera actors themselves promote a section of the theater in Taiping Town, so the publicity effect should be better."
After Feng Ling finished speaking, he looked at everyone expectantly, trying to judge whether his suggestion was useful or useless from everyone's expressions.
Wang Xinghua immediately started applauding.
"It's wonderful. According to this publicity logic, all new facilities in the amusement park in the future can be promoted through Taiping Town." Wang Xinghua sighed, "There is a new theater troupe in Taiping Town. Why didn't I have such a good idea? think?"
"If you want to use this method to promote it, first of all, the new project should be set in ancient times or close to ancient times. If the amusement park opens a new magic-themed project, how can it be promoted in Taiping Town? Is there a new magician in Taiping Town?" Jiang Qi complained.
"But I think this publicity method is really good. What do you think?"
Hu Qing silently closed the computer: "I think it's very good, very detailed."
"A very powerful plan." Shen Lirong praised, "I just might have to ask Director Huang to write character background stories for the newly recruited opera actors."
"There's no rush. The interview is scheduled for tomorrow. It's not too late to start writing biographies after everyone has been recruited."
"I can write background stories for opera actors." Feng Ling raised her hand silently, "I'm very good at this."
"I can do it too!" Wang Xinghua raised her hand actively.
"Okay, then I will leave this task to you two. When the background of the story is written, we will all call Director Huang to have a meeting to discuss it. If there are no problems, the theater's publicity plan can be officially launched." Jiang Qi made the decision.
The meeting that might have lasted for a long time ended quickly, and everyone packed up and left. Wang Xinghua and Feng Ling went to Taiping Town, while Shen Lirong and Hu Qing returned to the office.
On the way back to the office, Shen Lirong teased Hu Qing with a smile: "Aren't you worried in vain? According to the current publicity method, no matter how bad the theater is, it won't lose money, right?"
Hu Qing smiled and said, "I am worrying unfoundedly."
"But I still don't understand why the boss suddenly wants to build a theater in an amusement park. In daily contact with the boss, I don't find that he is a person who likes to listen to theater." Hu Qing shook his head, saying he still didn't understand.
Shen Lirong usually has fewer opportunities to have direct contact with Jiang Qi. She doesn't understand Jiang Qi's temperament as well as Hu Qing: "We have only been working in the amusement park for a long time. Maybe the boss just likes to listen to dramas, but he didn't show it before."
"And I think the boss's ideas are sometimes a bit wild and unconstrained, and they always come up as they come up. Didn't he say today that if a new magic-themed attraction is opened in the amusement park, it will be linked to Taiping Town? Maybe. On a whim, Boss Tian opened a magic-themed project in the amusement park."
Shen Lirong walked forward as she spoke. After taking two steps, she found that Hu Qing had stopped.
Shen Lirong:?
"What happened? Did you leave something in the conference room?"
"……no."
"I just feel that the boss will not suddenly say something that he has not thought about in advance."
"He might actually want to open a new magic-themed attraction at the amusement park."
Shen Lirong:...?
