Chapter 369 Hanfu is the outward appearance, inheriting the craft is the inner meaning!
Have you noticed that many of Chen Jincheng's videos these days are related to cultural heritage?
"You noticed it too? Your swordsmanship is so good, your Hanfu is so beautiful, you've created an ancient city scenic area, promoted Hanfu outing day, and now you're performing traditional skills."
"Aside from the fact that he has a lot of girls around him, there seems to be nothing to criticize about him. Just for his promotion of these traditional skills, I admire him."
"The key is that he promoted it quietly, without actively boasting about what he was doing. We only found out from Boss Lei and those deputy bureau chiefs in Linhai City."
Indeed, the more we discuss it, the more we discover Chen Jincheng's outstanding qualities.
The story suddenly went viral online, and naturally, more and more people learned about it.
Chen Jincheng's quiet promotion and inheritance of skills, without any publicizing or using it to create a persona for himself or to gain attention and profit, has earned him increasing admiration.
There are many people promoting the inheritance of skills online, but it's obvious to everyone that they just want to gain attention for themselves by claiming to be passing on skills.
Chen Jincheng is different. The fact that he is standing there now is a focus of attention. He is the one who brings attention to these traditional skills and culture.
One is consumption, the other is giving; the two are fundamentally different.
As online discussions progressed, Chen Jincheng's account soon posted more videos, all of which were performances of traditional crafts, including intangible cultural heritage Kung Fu tea, national treasures such as zombie walking, ghost steps, fire swallowing, and paper-throwing.
Each performance drew attention from netizens.
Honestly, most of these performances and traditional skills are things I've never even heard of before, though I've seen things like fire-eating in TV dramas.
Chen Jincheng actually knew all about these forgotten traditional skills, unearthed them, and now presented them to everyone, radiating their unique charm.
Finally, amidst this fervor, a highly respected elder gentleman spoke up in praise: "Only those who truly love and take pride in these national treasures will quietly ignite them, allowing them to reignite the flame of life."
This old gentleman is truly highly respected, so his words are tantamount to cloaking Chen Jincheng in a cloak of nobility.
Jinglan City.
Chen Jincheng had changed from having Li Lixing hold his arm to now having his arm around her waist.
When you're with a girl, you always have to try different intimate positions.
Hongjie suddenly came up to him with a smile and handed him her phone: "Boss, those videos have been posted online and people are praising you. A highly respected old gentleman even spoke up for you."
These words caught the attention of Lei Xiaojun, Fu Qian, Wei Yuan, and others, who also took out their phones to check.
Chen Jincheng, too, saw the discussions and the praise from that highly respected old gentleman.
This really made him a little embarrassed.
Honestly, he didn't specifically go to get these things; he just moved them around. Especially these traditional skills performances—he only asked Director Fu and the others to find them because they were very popular in his previous life.
He's just a guy who pats his butt on the back.
Everything else is being handled by the Director and his team.
Therefore, the praise he received online made him feel like he was a fraud.
However, after reading the news online, Lei Xiaojun and Fu Qian both said:
"President Chen, you deserve such a title."
"Mr. Chen, you really are that kind of person."
Fu Qian even officially confirmed it, and directly instructed Wei Weiwei to say, "This highly respected old gentleman's praise of Mr. Chen should be forwarded to our official channels."
No one can deny Mr. Chen's contributions in this regard.
Indeed, with a promotional fee of 100 million for the collaboration, they can see that Mr. Chen is doing his best to help them with publicity.
If it were someone else, even if they were given 100 million, they would never have been able to promote Jinglan City to this extent.
It can be said that what Mr. Chen paid was more than 1 million, which is why that high-ranking leader in charge of the economy wanted to meet him.
Seriously, if 100 million can create this kind of momentum and achieve this kind of publicity, I believe people everywhere will be begging and pleading to come up with that 100 million.
"Okay, Director Fu." Wei Weiwei agreed and immediately arranged for her special publicity team to get things done.
"..." Chen Jincheng was speechless.
It's hard to explain.
Li Lixing naturally looked at the content on the phone with Chen Jincheng. Seeing so many people praising her beloved boss, she was also very happy: "Boss, so many people are praising you, I admire you a little."
"Admiration?" Chen Jincheng leaned close to her ear and whispered, "You have to show it with your actions. Have you rented the place yet?"
"Hmm!" Li Lixing understood immediately upon hearing his words. She nodded sweetly and leaned close to his ear to whisper a boast: "Boss, I also bought some very sexy pajamas. They're supposed to be a college girl's way of seducing her boyfriend, according to the internet."
"That kind of seductive bunny girl?" Chen Jincheng asked jokingly.
The "College Girls Seducing Boyfriends" series is currently trending, and the highlight is the bunny girl's tail.
There are two buckles on it.
One deducts **, the other deducts **.
Anyway, it will make the whole car very smooth in no time.
It can increase the amount of water in the car's coolant tank.
The designer who created this thing is truly talented.
Seeing that he knew, Li Lixing blushed and said, "Yes, I bought three colors. You can choose one later."
The two whispered intimately to each other, which made Sister Hong, who was watching from behind, sigh.
The boss is hopeless.
When I asked her to recommend two girls before, she swore that they weren't "Cheng Girls" and solemnly told me that she wouldn't do anything immoral.
Given the current situation, is it even necessary to ask whether he has lost his conscience?
One of the roly-poly doll girls is already like this, how far is the other one?
She's really become a pimp.
Just think about the campus goddess event; those pure and beautiful girls, I wonder if they'll be able to escape it.
Can't any of the artists she manages be clean?
Among those schoolgirls, one named Gao Qian is still in high school and is only 16 years old.
This should be safer; the boss wouldn't be that much of a beast.
Yes, it can be safe and clean for at least 2 years.
That girl is really pretty and innocent. I don't know if she'll be safe when she turns 18 in two years.
Next, Chen Jincheng and his group watched the remaining performances of traditional skills. Each traditional skill has its own unique beauty and its own unique appeal.
Therefore, in their previous lives, these inherited skills could shine in different places and scenic spots, attracting countless tourists.
Now, thanks to his foresight, he has brought these traditional skills to this city, which is truly astounding.
This essentially blocks development in this area elsewhere. If other places want to imitate it, they can only copy it superficially. Besides, no other city can find an ancient city like Jinglan City.
Ancient cities may not be this big.
Having such a large following doesn't necessarily mean having Hanfu (traditional Han clothing) and a Hanfu outing day, nor can it guarantee finding so many traditional craft performances, let alone such widespread fame.
Once a place gains recognition, it will be the first place that comes to mind for people.
It can be said that Jinglan City has been given a buff.
Finally, the group arrived at the last traditional craft performance: iron flower making.
This is another traditional craft that gained the most fame and popularity after the World Cup promotion. The performer shoots the scorching iron sparks into the sky, and the colors that bloom are more dazzling than any fireworks, beyond description.
Because the iron flower performance poses some danger to the audience, Director Fu and his team specially arranged a large square for this skill performance.
Moreover, the iron flower performance is not done by one person, but by three.
The key difference from his memory was that these people were not making iron flowers like he knew from his previous life, where they relied on human power to strike the iron into the sky; instead, they were using modern tools.
Fu Qian explained with a smile, "Mr. Chen, it wasn't easy to find them. Weiwei and I investigated several families that inherit the intangible cultural heritage of iron flower making. Only they have kept up with the times and incorporated modern elements, which has made the iron flower making technique even more magnificent than before."
Chen Jincheng nodded.
Inheriting a skill doesn't mean rigidly copying the past; keeping up with the times can sometimes give the skill greater vitality.
Just like the fire pot demonstration, ancient fire pots couldn't actually produce such large, towering flames because ancient protective measures were insufficient, especially around the eyes.
Now, with advanced technology and enhanced protection, including goggles, it's possible to create towering flames while remaining safe amidst them.
The same applies to iron flower making nowadays. It's perfectly acceptable to use better methods to make the iron flowers more dazzling and to keep up with the times.
After a short preparation, the three performers began their performance. They walked to the center and started getting ready.
Everyone was watching intently.
In that instant, countless sparks suddenly burst forth in the darkness, the golden sparks spreading outwards in dense clusters, like a sky full of stars, or like the flames of life, filling the entire area.
For a moment, the place seemed to become a realm of sparks, deeply attracting people.
Lei and Sister Hong opened their mouths instinctively.
The previous kettle performance was already amazing, but this iron-sparkling performance is even more spectacular. Such skill is truly captivating.
Chen Jincheng was also astonished, his mouth agape. It was indeed far more dazzling than anything he had seen in his previous life.
Indeed, this ability to keep up with the times has given this iron-fireworks performance even greater vitality.
"Did you take a picture?" Chen Jincheng immediately asked Old Chen.
"It's on video." Old Chen nodded immediately. The shock he felt just now was so intense that he almost suffocated while watching the video. Such footage is definitely the trump card among these traditional skills passed down online.
He immediately sent the video to Xiaohai for editing.
In fact, this video footage didn't even need editing; it could be used directly. So, while Chen Jincheng and his friends were still exploring other areas of Jinglan City, the video had already been uploaded online.
The previous inheritance of skills has already garnered praise from many people, and with the voice of that highly respected elder, everyone knows that Chen Jincheng has been quietly promoting the inheritance of skills.
Now, with the emergence of videos showcasing the iron flower making technique, this atmosphere has reached its peak, attracting more and more bloggers and journalists eager to capitalize on the trend, praising these traditional skills.
Similarly, Chan Kam-ching also became the subject of praise.
The result is that those who bought Hanfu are increasingly eager to visit Jinglan City.
Imagine wearing Hanfu during the day, strolling through this ancient city filled with Hanfu, feeling as if you've stepped into ancient times and experienced a time-travel journey; and then watching these traditional crafts being passed down at night—what a blissful experience that would be!
The abilities of netizens are sometimes unpredictable, and sometimes, if you want them to come up with a few cultured words, they might not be able to utter a single word.
Sometimes, however, something they say casually can become a classic and then go viral online.
One netizen commented: "Chen Jincheng's Jinglan City has given it a beautiful and charming appearance through Hanfu and Hanfu Outing Day, and then it has given it connotation and heritage through these traditional skills."
Indeed, this sentence quickly went viral and surprisingly gained the approval of countless netizens.
Isn't that exactly right?
This sentence perfectly expressed how they felt.
I really want to know when we can book tickets for Jinglan City. Didn't they say it would open tomorrow?
This is driving me crazy!
Jinglan City.
Chen Jincheng and Fu Qian were strolling around when they suddenly saw Director Fu receive a phone call. He said, "Okay, okay, we'll be right over to the ticket center."
After hanging up the phone, he immediately said to Chen Jincheng, "Mr. Chen, that leader has arrived at the ticket center. Shall we go over there? Tickets are about to go on sale soon, let's go take a look together."
Chen Jincheng nodded.
Although I know that the number of ticket purchases will definitely exceed the 25 people who participated in the Hanfu outing day in my previous life, I really don't know if the number can double.
Lei Xiaojun and Wei Yuan were also very curious about this.
Because President Chen has been promoting Jinglan City for a long time and has made a great splash, now is the time to reap the rewards.
However, given its current popularity and influence, it should be able to attract over 100,000 people, right?
Fu Qian quietly approached Chen Jincheng and reminded him, "Mr. Chen, that big leader hinted that if Jinglan City can attract 10 people this time, the ** committee member I mentioned to you before should be secured, and there might even be further cooperation later."
Chen Jincheng's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He understood what it meant. If they had that person's support, then once the live-streaming e-commerce feature was released, their second generation of Xingchen would definitely surpass the three sheep from their previous life in the live-streaming e-commerce sector.
The key is that he won't end up like Xiao Mei, whose career collapsed because of his affair with a female apprentice.
More importantly, he wouldn't be like Xiao Mei, who played around for so long but wouldn't even give her 100 million, and even sent her to jail.
Fu Qian is also looking forward to it. If he can attract 10 people from other places tomorrow, the ticket price is nothing, only 50 yuan, which is only 500 million yuan in revenue.
But if these 10 people come, just the housing alone, at an average price of 300 yuan per square meter in the surrounding area, would amount to 3000 million yuan.
If we assume an average daily expenditure of 600 on food and drinks, that's another 6000 million.
Add to that the 50 yuan transportation fee, and that's another 500 million.
In addition, other miscellaneous expenses, averaging 100 per person, would amount to 1000 million.
That's 100 million a day.
Linhai City's daily GDP is 30 billion yuan, which means its GDP growth rate is 3.33%.
Many people may think that increasing GDP by 3.33% is easy, but the truth is that many cities have low added value, small industrial space and profit margins, and are greatly affected by the market and environment. It would be difficult for them to increase GDP by even 1%, and GDP may even decrease.
For example, places like Shantou, Qinghai, Xining, Heze, etc.
In many places, GDP only increases by a few tenths of a percent each year, such as certain mountains, Kunming, Ningxia, etc.
Therefore, an increase of 3.33% in GDP is already quite remarkable. Moreover, these tourism expenditures are only the minimum estimate; the actual spending of tourists now is far higher.
The number of people could double if the population reaches 10, and GDP growth will be a long-term trend.
So, how amazing is that?
If this number doubles, then really, Mr. Chen will be granted a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Even if his affairs with those girls are exposed and someone tries to frame him, he will protect them to the death.
literal meaning.
However, they dared not even dream of such data, since Linhai City had never had a scenic spot like this before, and Jinglan City's business had been quite dismal.
This is a new book being tested; I need your support and reading support. Please remember to check it out!
The old book won't stop; it's still being updated this late!
However, the performance of old books is really hard to maintain for a full-time job.
So, I've managed to publish two books, which is barely enough. Thank you everyone!
