I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 470 Some things are just that magical!

During the National Day holiday, Ye Xian first spent two days playing with Hasina and the siblings Afif before rushing back to Haizhou to continue filming.

While ostensibly about having fun, the real purpose was to inspect and visit all the amusement parks, theme parks, and theme parks in the capital. They would rush to seven or eight places a day, just to see the most popular rides and facilities.

Although the Great Tang Magical Park is a combination of many of Ye Xian's works, the actual amusement facilities still need to be mutually referenced, and none of the necessary ones can be omitted. In addition, new facilities need to be developed and designed.

The character designs and initial drafts for Pokémon and Boonie Bears are now basically finalized. The next step is to start writing the scripts and stories, and using AI to assist in the animation creation.

Meanwhile, the related peripheral designs are also getting on track. It is estimated that the first draft and samples will be completed in October, and production can basically start at full capacity in November.

That was also the time when the two animations were released to the world, and the preparations were much more thorough than when the merchandise for "Dream of the Red Chamber" was launched.

Princess Six and Afif have already found the top team in the industry to handle the theme design of Magical Paradise. However, Ye Xian still wants to see the paradise in this world himself so that he can combine his own experiences in another world to put forward his views on the development of the project in a way that is most in line with his identity as the author.

Afif has collaborated with many projects, so large amusement parks in the capital city basically gave him the green light. Even during the busiest time of the National Day holiday, the three of them received the most lavish treatment.

These past two days have probably been the happiest two days for Hasina, even though she's been rushing from one event to another.

So she shares updates in the group chat of the five girls every day, making the other girls extremely jealous.

Meanwhile, among the trending topics of people showing off their faces at various tourist attractions, searches related to Ye Xian remained consistently high.

#Tuchao's "Above the Moon" suddenly became high-class

……

One trending topic after another made it difficult for Ding Zhan to suppress them, but fortunately it was during the holiday period, so the attention was not as high as usual.

Ye Xian didn't stay in the capital for long. He rushed back to the film crew as quickly as possible. Hundreds of people were waiting for him to start work, and he couldn't afford to waste a moment.

……

Throughout October, news about Ye Xian gradually decreased. Apart from his daily live streams, Ye Xian seemed to disappear from the public eye, and he didn't even release any new songs.

All the new videos use the new songs "Wishing We Last Forever," "A Perfect Night for Flowers and Full Moon," and "Tante" as background music. As usual, three short videos with one song are released continuously.

Many fans were busy celebrating the holiday and traveling, and didn't pay much attention. Moreover, while there wasn't much news about Ye Xian himself, news related to him never stopped.

First, the TV series "Dream of the Red Chamber" continues to be a hit. As the series progresses and the plot becomes more in-depth, viewers are growing to love Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, and Wang Xifeng more and more.

10月27日，第27、28、29集播放之后，《红楼梦》单集的平均播放量正式突破1.4亿，朝着1.5亿进发。

Many people in the industry are betting on whether this show can break 1.8 million views per episode. If it can break 1.8 million views per episode after the 36-episode finale, the total number of views will exceed 65 billion.

What does 65 billion total views mean? "Dream of the Red Chamber" will directly enter the top five most popular dramas of the year, and may even challenge for the top three.

The first 29 episodes have already aired, and the total number of views has exceeded 41 billion. This number alone is enough to make "Dream of the Red Chamber" one of the top ten most popular dramas of the year.

This achievement has also stunned many industry insiders. The entertainment industry bigwigs and some rivals who originally wanted to suppress the show have realized that they can no longer suppress it.

Such phenomenal success has made Ye Xian, Chen Xu, Jiang Tian, ​​and Liu Xiaoxiao increasingly well-known, making them almost as famous as A-list celebrities.

At the same time, the drama also made a group of supporting actors such as Li Xin, Duan Fei, and Li Hong popular, and veteran actors such as Li Ting, Li Jie, and Zhou Zhen also experienced a second spring in their careers and won the love of many people.

According to surveys, the audience of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is generally over 30 years old, with the majority being over 35 and over 40 years old. There are also many young people, because everyone is drawn to the show because of the good looks of Ye Xian, Chen Xu, Jiang Tian, ​​and Liu Xiaoxiao.

With such a wide audience, many people realize that this show is bound to be a long-lasting success.

Many popular dramas become a hit during their broadcast due to marketing and promotion, but are forgotten within a few months.

The wide audience reach of "Dream of the Red Chamber" means that the show's popularity was not only influenced by fans of Ye Xian and his friends, but also by genuine recognition from the audience, truly breaking into new circles.

At the same time, the "Dream of the Red Chamber" EP was released, with lyrics, music and arrangement personally handled by Ye Xian. The theme songs, including "Wang Ning Mei", "Zang Hua Yin", "Qiu Shuang Feng Yu Xi", and "Qing Wen Ge", sung by Chen Xu, Jiang Tian, ​​Liu Xiaoxiao, Li Xin, Duan Fei, Li Hong and others, are presented. The main theme is a tragic, melancholic and dreamlike atmosphere.

The album was an instant hit with fans of the show upon its release.

With its excellent music, compelling storyline, and beautiful cast, Ye Xian used various new media marketing methods to propel "Dream of the Red Chamber" to the level of a hit drama. Although it didn't quite reach the same level of influence as the original "Dream of the Red Chamber" in the alternate world, Ye Xian was already quite satisfied.

If we want to take it a step further, we need to promote this book in a more in-depth way, but Ye Xian doesn't want to release "The Complete Dream of the Red Chamber" right now.

……

Besides the popularity of "Dream of the Red Chamber" and its connection to Ye Xian, Ice and Snow Honey City opened its 600th directly operated store.

Such an astonishing speed of store openings has drawn attention from the capital market and beverage industry peers.

HaiMa Beverages has not publicly disclosed the sales figures for individual stores, but according to information obtained from internal employees, the average daily sales of new stores in the first month after opening have not been less than 1 yuan.

This also means that Bingxue Micheng's daily total sales revenue has exceeded 600 million.

Investors are tempted, and competitors are green with envy.

In a short time, a lot of capital poured into the milk tea beverage industry, and brands like Baidu Milk Tea and Blue Flag Milk Tea opened up in major cities across China overnight.

However, Ye Xian had already seized the initiative.

Putting aside the most crucial factor of affordable prices, Ice and Snow City even boasts its own unique snow-covered culture.

From the theme song of Bingxue Micheng to the shout-outs that every employee knows, from the core strategy of popular beverages that extends from the core late-night snack fan culture, to the powerful alliance between Haima Coconut Juice, Hailaoji, Qiuye Selected Snack Gift Pack, Ye Xian's works and ACG peripherals and Bingxue Micheng, these things can be replicated one by one, but when put together, they become difficult to replicate.

While Ice and Snow City may seem to win people over with its affordable prices, it has actually become a part of young people's social life.

Ye Xian understood better than these investors and peers that, in addition to product competitiveness, quality, and procurement costs, the most critical issue for these stores was the development of a talent pool.

With the opening of 600 stores, the number of store employees has exceeded 3000. In addition, the total number of employees is close to 3500, including operations, store opening teams, store opening planning teams, production, R&D and management personnel.

Such a large team simply cannot be maintained without a scientific and reasonable management system and talent development system.

Those peers and investors who want a piece of the pie and rush into the market will only end up wasting their money.

Therefore, you often see that even when a new store opens next to a Bingxuemicheng store, it offers deep discounts and the sales staff shout themselves hoarse, but it is still deserted and no one buys anything.

Some things are just that magical.
