Age of Legends

Chapter 131 Thousands of Baidu

Zhang Chen naturally didn't know what Shen Nuoyi was planning. Before leaving, he contacted Wang Shuowei, Liu Jin, Yu Zexi and others. Everyone left at different times and went directly to the venue.

When we arrived at the sports center, there were crowds of people. It was Saturday and it was the International Digital Culture Festival. The weather was good, and the people of Rongcheng loved to join in the fun, so the entire outside of the sports center was filled with crowds of people.

Also because there are no tickets for this cultural festival and exhibition, its appeal is greatly increased and everyone likes to get it for free.

In terms of publicity, the Digital Culture Festival focuses on expanding new technologies, innovations, animation and film and television content, and there is also integrated audio-visual entertainment on site, which is quite advanced even today.

We should also thank some companies contacted by the municipal government for their help in setting up the exhibition hall. For example, the company that built the large LED screen only made the promotional animation of Rongcheng. These are indeed real. These government-related companies have to pay a sum of money afterwards, which is actually a share of the profits from the exhibition.

As the international reputation was established, official support was also increasing. As the pie grew bigger, it was natural that profits would be shared. Wang Bowen understood this and grew rapidly in this situation. Of course, the final settlement of the exhibition fee would fall on them. Even if 70% had to be distributed to various stakeholders, even if 30% was given, it would still be a big profit.

Now he and Wang Bowen have to give away 70% of their profits to ensure that the money they get is safe. Otherwise, even if they take it this time, some people will think they are "ignorant", and then it will be difficult to do similar activities next time.

This is the truth. If everyone can get a share, then everyone will be able to carry the sedan chair. In the future, Wang Bowen will become more and more popular in Rongcheng.

Of course, all these things are handled by Wang Bowen. He actually has connections, and now that he is in the rising stage, these connections can also be activated. How far he can go in the future will determine what Zhang Chen will do in the future.

"Zhang Chen!" Liu Jin was the first to see Zhang Chen and shouted to him.

"Chenzi!" Yu Zexi also waved.

"This way!" Wang Shuowei also waved his hand.

The entire sports center was booked, and a light steel frame shed was built in the middle of the venue, where the basic exhibition was held. There were also many rooms under the surrounding spectator seats, which were all given to the relevant teams and staff.

Now the several centralized dressing rooms are crowded, and many people have to queue up. The scene feels a bit like a car show in the future, and you can see many men and women who have already cosplayed and dressed up walking around, and occasionally you can see a few dazzling girls, which is very eye-catching.

It is no wonder that many beautiful models are brought to the auto shows in the future. If the trend is not being rectified, they will expose more and more. There is no other way. There is a market for this! The beauty economy has always been a major factor in attracting attention.

Zhang Chen actually planned this cosplay contest, and this is the biggest influence on the outside world. Otherwise, most people don’t care about cosplay.

In addition to real enthusiasts, Wang Bowen also brought over several singing and dancing teams from the provincial song and dance troupe and had them dress up in various cosplay costumes. These girls from the provincial song and dance troupe all had graceful figures, and after putting on cosplay costumes, they looked like the beautiful models touring in auto shows in later generations, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.

When Wang Shuowei, Liu Jin and others arrived, they were standing outside and felt a little at a loss. Obviously, when they actually saw this scene, they were still infected by the atmosphere and became nervous.

Zhang Chen saw the atmosphere and excitement in front of him, and he actually felt a sense of accomplishment. From the time Wang Bowen's emotional vortex program was stuck, he pondered and finally decided to hold the first cosplay exhibition in Rongcheng, and the idea of opening this digital cultural festival became a reality. He felt that he had created history, a sense of accomplishment that only those who are reborn have.

The world has changed because of him. There may be unpredictable consequences brought about by the butterfly effect, but these hidden dangers are unimportant compared to the changed world before him.

He felt a kind of pleasure of swimming.

The sense of participation in the creative surge when something is born and sprouts because of oneself.

Looking at the huge steel shed built into the exhibition hall, it is hard to imagine that all of this was because of his own ideas, starting with mobilizing Wang Bowen alone, and then leveraging countless forces to make such a construction structure rise from the ground. It was created because of his will.

However, Zhang Chen suddenly remembered that during a renovation in the next 16 years or so, the underground Palace of King Shu of the Ming Dynasty would be discovered under the sports center. In other words, he was organizing a large-scale exhibition under the heads of his predecessors.

Really - dancing on the grave.

I was still jumping around as a zombie. My ancestors wouldn't blame me. After all, many large-scale sports events had been held here. It wouldn't be my turn based on seniority, right?
Well, I don't care about that anymore. What if the underground ancestors also like the excitement and want to see girls to please their eyes? This is still a good deed for me.

"Hey, the opening ceremony is about to begin. Our class is holding up signs. Shall we go and watch?" Liu Jin said hesitantly.

"Go ahead." Zhang Chen looked at Wang Shuowei again, "Where's the camera I asked you to bring?"

Zhang Chen doesn't have a luxury like a camera. He has a film camera at home, but who uses film cameras now? CCD and SLR cameras dominate the market. Although he has money now, he doesn't plan to buy one. The current technology has not reached the minimum level he wants to buy. Wang Shuowei has a compact camera, so he would use it if he can.

"Here." Wang Shuowei took out the compact camera from his pocket. It was a Sony CCD P20 with 110 million effective pixels, which was just... okay for taking photos.

Zhang Chen picked it up and said, "Let's go."

……

In the audience seats holding signs, all the carbon-based screen tool workers are already in place. Today, everyone is generally dressed in work clothes, and some even wear school uniforms.

Summer is coming soon, so it's basically okay to wear a long-sleeved T-shirt at this time. Sometimes it will suddenly get hot.

Shen Nuoyi was wearing a gray long-sleeved T-shirt with a bear print. He sat at his seat with numbered cardboard under his feet and chatted with Zheng Xue.

The sun was so strong that it was quite hot on our bodies, so everyone felt like they were going through a tribulation. They all cursed the leaders and organizers on the stage in private, asking them to carry out some political task by asking the students to help. They only gave water without paying any money, and the students were the only ones who were so useful!
But for some people now, life is not so hard, after all, there are beauties like Shen Nuoyi here. I wonder if anyone has experienced that in such a boring environment, if there is someone you like to stay with, it seems that the daily torment has become a sense of anticipation.

The beauty filtered through the filter of pain is particularly memorable.

It’s like looking back at the people you loved in middle school in later life. Maybe one day you’ll find out the group photo and find that some of them are truly stunning, but in fact, most of them will seem too ordinary from the perspective of later life.

But just in those days when I was confused about the future and was drowning in the boring and long student days with mountains of books and sea of homework every day, that figure from that year still made my heart beat fast when I woke up from my dreams countless times in the middle of the night.

And Shen Nuoyi is the graceful and beautiful girl in many people's dreams.

Therefore, many people no longer felt that the experience of holding the sign with her was that hard. They even felt that at least they had a memory of the experience together. I don't know how many people silently thought so.

Just like classmate Li Jiajun, he thought, even if Zhang Chen and Shen Nuoyi got close during the holidays and took private lessons together, even if they might have an ambiguous relationship, so what?
Now the one who is accompanying Shen Nuo to raise the sign and overcome the tribulation is myself.

Even when Li Jiajun was choosing his position at the beginning, he was very cunning and chose the one in front of Shen Nuoyi.

In this way, every time he pretended to look back casually, he could see Shen Nuoyi's beautiful phoenix eyes behind him, and his nose that was as smooth and straight as a piece of jade when viewed from the bottom up, his face with three-part and five-eye proportions, and his beautiful facial features.

What's funny is that when some students from other schools who were holding signs here were trying various ways to inquire about her, or trying to get in touch with her, or simply watching her from afar and not daring to approach her, Li Jiajun could already give her some care and concern from time to time, such as preparing an extra bottle of water for her and handing it to her when she had finished drinking. She would often be stunned for a moment, and finally take it and say thank you.

Or you can just bring an extra pack of tissues with you and hand it to Shen Nuo when you see him sweating, and you will often get a thank you.

So, Shen Nuoyi, you have a carefree personality, not like a girl. Instead, you need someone attentive to care for you.

People are most afraid of subtle and silent influences. Li Jiajun thought that after this sign-holding incident, when he went to school, Shen Nuoyi's attitude towards him would surely be different after spending some time together, and the relationship between them would be elevated.

The opening ceremony began, and the Carbon-based Screen Tools people picked up the signs and began to hold them up according to the rehearsal under command.

At this moment, a flash of light came on, attracting many people in the audience to look over.

People saw Zhang Chen holding a camera at the entrance of the auditorium and pressing the shutter button towards the group of boys and girls holding signs.

Seeing Zhang Chen holding a camera, the staff maintaining order did not chase him away, probably because he was taking pictures, allowing him to successfully reach the aisle next to the audience holding signs, and the direction his camera was pointing...

Li Jiajun looked back from the side, and as expected, from his angle, he saw Shen Nuoyi putting down the sign and waiting for the interval between raising the sign, and then turned his head towards that side.

In Li Jiajun's sight, Shen Nuoyi was facing the sun with her bare face, but she squinted her eyes slightly because of the glaring light, but it did not affect the light from dyeing her pupils into amber. She had a cold face with the beauty of a goddess. Her lips, which seemed to be closed into a straight line that would never open, suddenly raised a shallow arc at the corners of her lips when she looked at Zhang Chen's camera.

The moisture at the corners of her mouth is like the snow-capped mountains seen after the first snow.

Just like the banished immortal under the moon who can never calm down after thousands of dreams.
