Chapter 1,361 The Charm of China(1/2)
During the twelve days, the schedules of the crew members of "Dream of Red Mansions" were fully arranged by Ning Weimin, and the leading actors were particularly busy.
On the evening of the day I arrived in Tokyo, I attended the welcome banquet held by TBS TV station at Dannomiya Restaurant in Tokyo.
After that, the crew members had no leisure time.
Everyone needs to continuously deal with various press conferences, tea parties from all walks of life, live TV interviews, performances, symposiums between university teachers and students, opening ceremonies of costume exhibitions, opening ceremonies of stills exhibitions, book signings, etc. It can be left to them
There is very little free time to arrange.
There are not many opportunities to get back to the hotel earlier than 10pm every day.
So even Ouyang Fenqiang, Chen Xiaoxu, Zhang Li, Deng Jie and other "troublemakers" who always loved playing pranks on each other stopped voluntarily, and no one bothered them anymore.
You know, when they were in Hong Kong City a few months ago, they used the phone to send false news to each other at night, tricking people into going downstairs to meet guests.
From this we can see how busy and tired they are here.
In fact, the crew members are sometimes so exhausted after a day's activities that they don't even want to have a late-night snack.
Go back to your room, wash up as soon as possible, and fall asleep as soon as you lie down on the bed.
But even so, everyone in the crew has no complaints.
For no other reason than because Ning Weimin gave me enough money.
In addition to generous remuneration, the logistics arrangements for food, clothing, housing and transportation are also in place.
Let everyone eat well, wear well, be picked up and dropped off by car, and accompanied by an interpreter, which is extremely convenient and very grateful.
Since everyone is grateful for his benefits, they will naturally cheer up and cooperate fully.
In addition, the activity plan arranged by Ning Weimin for everyone is also very appropriate.
Busy and busy, rushing back and forth, but Ning Weimin told everyone in advance that in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, the crew will be busy for three days and have one day off.
That day was set aside for them to visit and shop.
There are arrangements for Tokyo's famous Disneyland, Kyoto's Gion, Kinkakuji Temple, Kyoto Imperial Palace, Osaka's Osaka Castle Park, Shinsaibashi, and Dotonbori.
There are also tour guides and drivers accompanying them to provide services and take care of all chores for them.
Then who doesn’t feel at ease?
You know, in the mainland of the Republic, so far, there is still a single day off every week.
In Japan, you can get one day off after working for three days. For the crew members of "Dream of Red Mansions", they are already very happy. It is equivalent to earning one day.
They all felt that this kind of work process arrangement was very humane and quite kind.
If anyone is dissatisfied and has higher expectations, there is nothing to be picky about.
That is simply hypocritical and too ignorant.
Everyone will besiege him and accuse him of being heartless.
Not to mention this, even the specific working environment and content are much more interesting than everyone imagines.
Due to his deep involvement in the Japanese market in the past few years, Ning Weimin not only has strong capabilities as an organizer, but he is also good at organizing activities in the capital and likes to go his own way.
It was the same this time. He used the resources at his disposal and had some innovative ideas that were beyond the knowledge of the times.
As a result, the original rigid model of cultural exchange activities that only consisted of indoor interviews and performances was broken.
Instead, this kind of activity became three-dimensional in his hands, making it much more lively and interesting.
Not only did it have great appeal to Japanese people, but also the crew members of "Dream of Red Mansions" also found it quite novel and gained a lot of experience.
Ning Weimin held an exchange event this time to promote the TV series "A Dream of Red Mansions". He did not let the crew fight alone, but dispatched a "group army" to conduct "coordinated operations" - held at each event site
"Cultural Festival" with the theme of "Dream of Red Mansions".
Companies such as Tan Gong Restaurant and Hui Wentang Bookstore are both under his personal command, so he can do business wherever he goes.
There are also two friendly cooperative companies, Jinniu Palace and Yamato Tourism. For Ning Weimin's sake, they also sent people to join in the fun and set up booths at the event.
In this way, it is equivalent to holding a mobile theme tour exhibition, or a theme garden party.
Compared with the traditional approach, the declaration form is much more flexible.
And despite the fact that there are not many booths, the content provided by several units is not monotonous, and it can even be said to be quite rich and three-dimensional.
First of all, the "Dream of Red Mansions" themed poster with Bao Daichai as the background is enough to attract attention.
As long as it is placed in front of the venue, it will be eye-catching.
Regardless of whether anyone was called over, the title of the TBS TV station is eye-catching enough anyway.
As long as anyone sees it, they will have the impression that this TV series is being aired in the TBS morning drama period.
At least we can get a few more viewers to pay attention out of curiosity and increase the ratings.
If anyone really came over, they would first see the dazzling array of TV drama brochures on the Huiwentang booth, as well as the Japanese version of "Dream of Red Mansions" books and comic books. These are all things that can intuitively reflect the cultural theme.
In addition, joyful and festive "Chinese knots", various straw insects, round fans, incense fans, palace lanterns, brocade boxes, as well as "A Dream of Red Mansions"-themed silk people and various Red Mansion-themed handicrafts were placed at the booth of Huiwentang Bookstore
Above, it is enough to attract people to stop.
In particular, the props from the play and the related displays of costumes brought by the crew are particularly dazzling.
So much so that many visiting Japanese girls said at the scene, "It's so beautiful, I really want to wear it and take a photo."
Taurus and Yamato GG took the opportunity to promote hard.
One is to highly recommend "A Dream of Red Mansions", "Li Xianglan" and Teresa Teng's music tapes.
The other is to use the Chinese tourism brochure as a means to take the opportunity to contract the Chinese tourism business.
Not to mention, a lot of people came to ask about it.
In addition, in order to increase the effectiveness and fun of interactive communication, Ning Weimin also directly turned on the "entertainment mode" at the scene.
After the actors hold a cultural exchange meeting, they will interact with the audience and take photos at the cultural festival event. Needless to say, this will definitely be popular with the audience.
In addition, Ning Weimin will also use the noodle chef from Tan Gong Restaurant and the sugar painting skills of the cold dish chef to interact with the audience, adding popularity and momentum to the scene.
We also used the performances of folk musicians, calligraphy demonstrations, and Go games to enliven the atmosphere at the venue.
There are also consumer lottery, ring tying, and money-making games. These interesting entertainment projects with prizes add a pleasant experience to the visitors.
But the most important thing, what attracts the most people and keeps the atmosphere of the event at its peak, is the experience content of Chinese cuisine.
Ning Weimin has always believed that the easiest way to start cultural exchanges is with food.
So this time, he also regarded Chinese snacks as a key project.
He transferred at least twenty chefs from Tan Palace.
They lined up at the event site and set up food stalls at least 30 meters long to provide food services to people participating in the event and show the charm of Chinese cuisine.
Above each stall, almost all the food and drinks provided are written in Chinese.
The first stall includes meatloaf, pies, pot stickers, glutinous rice dumplings, roasted rice dumplings, served with lotus leaf porridge and eight-treasure porridge.
The second level includes fried rice, fried noodles, fried pancakes, fried dumplings, braised cat ears, tomato and egg soup, and hot and sour soup.
The third stall is steamed dumplings, boiled dumplings, siomai, steamed buns, lazy dragon, with sour plum soup and mung bean soup.
The fourth level, jelly, grilled cake, sesame sauce cold noodles, spicy cold noodles, fried noodles with lemonade and beer.
In addition, there are green onion cakes, silver rolls, sugar triangles, old noodle steamed buns, rice dumplings, glutinous rice chicken, cold rice cakes, pea yellow, donkey rolling, and aiwowo for sale.
Osmanthus lotus root, mustard pile, spinach with nuts, celery and yuba, these cold dishes are for sale.
Palace cheese, almond tofu, bayberry shaved ice, dried fruits, these refreshing desserts are on sale.
We also sell cooked foods such as barbecued pork, sauced duck, sauced meat, smoked chicken, vegetarian assorted vegetables, and vegetarian chicken, as well as sesame cakes with meat, grilled skewers, fried goods, sausages, and pancakes.
Of course, we will also provide pastry gift boxes, tea and snack gift boxes, noodle gift boxes, as well as candied fruits, candies, and rice wine named after Dream of Red Mansions and the Twelve Golden Hairpins for sale as souvenirs.
Ning Weimin even "generously" gave free jasmine tea to all guests who came to drink.
Sure enough, the situation at the scene was just as Ning Weimin expected.
At the beginning, the flow of people was limited.
But after every stall was equipped with a variety of hot and cold Chinese snacks, it didn’t take long for the event site to be crowded with people.
Among the people attracted, in addition to the main audience attending the conference, university teachers and students, there were also visitors to the park. Passers-by who happened to be passing by and were attracted by the smoke of fireworks, there were also housewives and retired elderly people who came looking for them after smelling the fragrance, and even some
Old overseas Chinese who miss the taste of their hometown.
Especially at noon, when office workers who go out to eat come to join in the fun, it is definitely the time when there are the most people.
Even if there was a long queue, and it even rained one day, it could not stop it, nor could it dampen the enthusiasm of these diners.
It can be clearly felt from this that Chinese food has an irresistible magic power, and too many Japanese people love Chinese food so deeply.
Frankly speaking, in the eyes of Chinese people, these "Chinese delicacies" that have caused a sensation are nothing more than commonplace food.
In Beijing, most convenience restaurants can make it, and you can buy it at any food stall in the downtown area.
In fact, it really doesn't match "A Dream of Red Mansions", because it is all about folk fireworks and not "high-end" at all.
But then again, Japanese food is bland, and even they themselves admit it.
