◎Mid-Autumn Festival in the Demon Realm (Part 2) (Second Update)◎
Su Caifeng pulled Long Ying aside, pondered for a few seconds, and asked, "Analyze calmly, what is the probability that Si Lan will obey?"
Noticing Si Lan's turn, Long Ying covered the Pixiu's mouth with his claws, which had been swishing with smelly mud from catching loaches. "My advice is not to analyze it."
“…”
Su Caifeng fell silent in disappointment.
Although he came here to hunt, Lian Jiu didn't actually do anything. He just relied on his own impression to find some edible wild vegetables around.
It is worthy of being a place protected by the demon god. Even the wild vegetables are fresh and free of insects. They are clean and smell sweet.
When we returned at half past six, we had already harvested a lot, because these demon gods wanted to eat their fill, so they didn't take anything.
The other monsters came back one after another, and Lian Jiu and the other teachers distributed the ingredients and taught everyone how to use them.
This was something she came up with after thinking about it for several days. The conditions in the mountains were not as good as those outside. Cooking was inconvenient because the terrain was rugged, and setting up a dining table was not practical. She couldn't sit on the ground to eat.
But barbecue is different. Not only can you do it anytime and anywhere, you don’t even need to buy firewood specifically for barbecue charcoal. There is plenty of it ready-made in the mountains.
It can also enhance the relationship between monsters, which is the best of both worlds.
The situation was better than she had imagined. The monsters were much more welcoming after returning than when they left. Some of them even started discussing installing stairs on the tree where they lived to make it easier for other monsters to visit them.
Because there were trees all around, even though it was summer, there was no sun and the sky was a little darker than outside. Lian Jiu put a barbecue video on the screen so that everyone could see how to barbecue before watching the movie to avoid wasting so many high-quality ingredients.
At this moment, the monsters were not as afraid of Si Lan and other demon gods as before. After all, every monster had been fine for the past half day and had not been eaten by anyone. In order to make their first barbecue a success, each of them watched the big screen with relish.
They even divide the work and cooperate. Each group of bird monsters flies up and runs to the big screen to carefully observe the details, and then goes back to teach the skills to the monsters who are grilling meat. The children are responsible for cheering on the side.
As time passed, the moon slowly hung above the treetops, and the bright moonlight shone through the leaves. Combined with the temporary lights set up around, the firelight was imprinted on the faces of the monsters. The originally lifeless mountain seemed to come alive in an instant.
Because barbecue is only convenient when transformed into human form, there is no difference at first glance. Only some of the little monsters playing and those bird monsters are prototypes.
Thinking about advertising, Lian Jiu temporarily handed over the barbecue task to a few demon gods. He and Yu Chongming took their mobile phones and shuttled among the demons to shoot video materials for today's Mid-Autumn Festival.
The painted horse is like a walking storage bag. Every time Lian Jiu visits a group, he can take out today's mooncakes and pastries from the painted horse.
Lian Jiu handed out mooncakes to everyone and said, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! These are mooncakes sponsored by LK Dessert House. I hope you can all be reunited and have happy families in the future."
The monsters' faces were all hot from the fire, and they were sweating a little. They took the mooncakes with a bit of a panic. "Thank you, Director Lian Jiu, and happy Mid-Autumn Festival."
"We haven't been to school, so we don't speak those words," the monsters said. "And anyway, Director Lianjiu is good at everything!"
"Thanks."
After Lian Jiu finishes serving each group, he will correct them if they are not baked correctly before moving on to the next table.
After one round, there were exactly 50 tables. Finally, Lian Jiu walked to the middle with a microphone and said, "Excuse me, everyone. Our mooncakes are sponsored by a business in the human world, so we need to face the camera and say a slogan for this store. We also need to record a short video and post it online. So for the next minute, no one can change into their original form or human form."
Long Ying was surprised: "Don't you need to transform into a human form?"
"Monsters don't need them, but demon gods do." Lian Jiu laughed, "Seeing animals in the mountains is normal, but seeing dragons and other mythical beasts is an accident."
Long Ying instantly understood her intention: "I'll do as you say."
The monsters, who were having mooncakes for the first time, were very cooperative. Facing the camera, all 500 monsters shouted in unison: "Thank you LK Dessert House for the mooncakes!"
Lian Jiu took the microphone and asked, "Is it delicious?"
"tasty!!!"
The sound almost penetrated the mountains and forests, even scaring away the flocks of birds in the forest.
Yu Chongming was surprised: "There are birds on this mountain."
Si Lan also turned his head to look over, his gaze somewhat profound.
The camera then turned to several demon gods. Lian Jiu held the microphone to their lips and said, "Would you like to say a few words?"
The three demon gods were not embarrassed at all. They ate for free and got paid for it. What's the big deal about saying a few words?
Especially Su Caifeng, if there is such a good thing that can be done for free, he would talk about it every day!
There is no need to edit the video after it is recorded, except for the part where mooncakes are posted as other materials, and the latter part can be posted directly.
So on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, netizens who were tired of watching the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala were bored and watching videos after dinner when they were suddenly attracted by an advertisement with a unique style.
[Wow, this ad budget is pretty high, right? So many people recreating the scene like this!]
[Barbecuing in the mountains, it looks so relaxing! There are even little animals accompanying them. Is this really photoshopped?]
Who is this woman in the photo? She's so beautiful, she seems to glow in the moonlight!
[Where is this scenery? It's so beautiful! The ground is covered with flowers and plants! There's even a lake. Is this really a place on earth?]
[Well, everyone calm down for a moment and look at who posted this ad. It's the Monster Kindergarten, the one that openly said they created the account for money!]
Is there any background information about this account?
Soon, netizens who were attracted by the scene learned the origin of this account in the comment section.
And then... the video became even more popular.
Damn! This isn't acting, this isn't an advertisement, this is real! This is where people live!
[Oh my god, why is my wife so beautiful? She looks like a fairy.]
I was shocked. My family went back to take a closer look. There were so many fires, and animals were near almost every one! Isn't this some kind of metaphysics?
[I suggest checking out the live streaming recordings of kindergartens; they have animals in their classes.]
【Ahhhh, I saw that handsome guy again at the end of the video! 】
[There's more than one handsome guy! There are actually three!]
I finally got to see what the teacher who used to hold her phone during the live classes looked like. She's a beautiful teacher too!
What kind of feng shui is going on in this village? How come everyone is so good-looking?
[I'm late. This is the first time I've seen someone watch an ad so many times!]
【Finally, what I saw this time wasn't nonsense. 】
If all ads were this quality, I'd be fine with it! Modo Modo.
Some people watch the gala during the Mid-Autumn Festival, some people watch an advertising video over and over again, and some people even play the spot-the-difference game, competing to see who can find more animals.
This is the first time someone has urged someone to post an advertisement.
Those who previously clamored for Lian Jiu to live broadcast the Mid-Autumn Festival have now become quiet. This is really something that cannot be criticized.
If there was an advertisement in any of the short videos nowadays that could create such a scene, no one would criticize it.
Not to mention netizens, even Wei Jingxuan, who was at home having a reunion dinner with her family for the Mid-Autumn Festival, did not expect Lian Jiu to be able to make this advertisement so unexpected.
I originally gave 50,000 yuan for Lian Jiu and the children.
I didn't expect so many people to appear on camera! It was such a grand scene, and there were so many good-looking people at the finale. Wei Jingxuan immediately felt that the 50,000 yuan was too little.
Lianjiu’s feedback on the quality of advertisements is really thoughtful!
Wei Jingxuan's brother saw her constantly looking at her phone, smiling and worried at the same time. He walked over to her and took a look, a little surprised: "Is this the advertisement for that internet celebrity you mentioned?"
Wei Jingxuan handed him her phone: "Yes! Brother, look!"
Wei Jingchen watched the entire video several times. "How long have you been running the business? Why are you doing such a high-budget ad?"
"Not high." Wei Jingxuan spread out her palms. "This number."
Wei Jingchen: "Five hundred thousand?"
"fifty thousand."
"?" Wei Jingchen looked at the video again, "How much?"
"Fifty thousand! You didn't expect that, did you?" Wei Jingxuan said proudly. "Fifty thousand, and then a thousand mooncakes, and one video a day for a month. But we'll pay for the cakes ourselves."
Regardless of whether you pay for it yourself or not, 50,000 yuan is a sure profit in this situation.
Wei Jingchen didn't expect his sister to come back and take over the store and still manage to make it look so presentable. "How did you do it? Why don't I look like an ordinary internet celebrity?"
"She's definitely not just any internet celebrity. Lian Jiu is the principal of a kindergarten in the mountains, where conditions are very poor. So, to take care of the children, she started learning how to be a self-media influencer, hoping to make their lives better. I only discovered her by chance." Wei Jingxuan now thinks Lian Jiu is particularly loyal, and her drive to get things done is truly admirable. "They don't have many fans yet, but they're still quite popular."
"Are you being cheated?" Wei Jingchen had been in the business world for a long time and didn't think any kindergarten would do this. Even the staff didn't look like ordinary people.
"Of course not. Their kindergarten has proper procedures and has been specifically mentioned by relevant departments before."
"From here? Do you know the address?"
Wei Jingxuan shook her head: "I don't know, she said it's not convenient to disclose."
Wei Jingchen laughed angrily: "You need money, but you can't disclose it? You've taken all the good things, right?"
"I'm not a liar. I saw it with my own eyes." Wei Jingxuan showed him the photos she had taken on her phone, and also pulled out some videos Lian had posted a long time ago and some live broadcast screen recordings. "Don't you understand what I do? You must investigate thoroughly first."
"And the people in this ad aren't extras," she said. "They're all villagers and the children's parents."
Wei Jingchen was stunned: "Parents? Why would she, a kindergarten principal, be involved in these matters?"
"They're quite poor there, and they didn't tell us their address to protect the children. It seems Teacher Lian Jiu is more than just the head teacher. She's also helping the villagers escape poverty, building greenhouses." Wei Jingxuan sighed. "These people have never eaten mooncakes or celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival, so Lian Jiu agreed to cooperate with us, just to give them a Mid-Autumn Festival. I saw one of the children the other day; they were taken care of so well."
"Besides," Wei Jingxuan said quietly, "If she really was a scammer, would she only charge me 50,000 yuan with so many people? I even took the initiative to add part of the 50,000 yuan."
After hearing this, Wei Jingchen was also unsure.
If it's about money, it's impossible to make it so big and so realistic with 50,000 yuan.
"Brother, I think this ad is quite effective. She is really helping the villagers celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival," Wei Jingxuan said. "I'm going to give her some extra money."
“…”
I've never seen anyone so eager to give money.
But after weighing the pros and cons, Wei Jingchen felt that it could be added, judging by the quality of the videos, not to mention that it was tantamount to doing charity.
"Show me the information of this account someday."
Wei Jingxuan's eyes lit up: "Brother, are you going to advertise with them too?"
Her brother's business is not on the same level as this small cake shop.
"I'll check it out again."
Lian Jiu didn't know what was going on. When he was watching a movie with all the monsters, he received another transfer of 150,000 yuan on the card he had given to Wei Jingxuan.
She was startled and immediately walked out of the group of monsters to answer the phone: "Did you dial the wrong number? We only have 50,000 yuan for the balance."
"That's right," Wei Jingxuan said happily. "I didn't expect you to do such a good job advertising. This is an extra bonus. Thank you and your fellow villagers for your hard work."
"That's too much."
Lian Jiu knew that the account was worth less than that much money. "We didn't do this on purpose. We just took the photos during the holiday."
"I know," Wei Jingxuan said, "but the quality is very good. Compared to those other accounts, they put a lot of effort into it. Just think of it as a reward for the villagers. It's not much. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. I hope you can always keep your original intention."
Lian Jiu was silent for a moment, remembering the hundred yuan that Turtle's father had given him for screwing that day. He hesitated for a long time and said, "Thank you, I'll give you one more month of advertising."
"Let's fight for a month first," Wei Jingxuan said. "I have other plans later, so don't worry. We can discuss it later."
Lian Jiu: "Okay."
She turned around and was suddenly stunned.
At this time, the open spaces were filled with hundreds of monsters of all sizes, sitting in an orderly manner. None of them stood up and flew. They were all watching the movie seriously and quietly.
Everyone was holding snacks or mooncakes in their hands, bathing in the moonlight. When the wind blew, the flowers and plants around each monster swayed in the wind, bringing with them a scent of flowers. The water light swayed faintly, and everyone's expressions looked satisfied and harmonious.
Because he had been sitting in the middle of the monster group, Lian Jiu had no idea that the scene would be like this when the place was full.
This scene is far more spectacular than that in a movie theater and more heart-stirring.
Lian Jiu recorded a short video with his mobile phone. He did not go in again. Instead, he sat there leaning against the tree behind him and couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
At some point, Si Lan also came out from the group of monsters and sat on the branch of the tree behind her.
Lian Jiu said softly, "I'm suddenly looking forward to the future."
"Sudden?"
"Yeah, suddenly." Lian Jiu looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her, her face reflected by the light of the lake. She sighed softly, "Si Lan, your place is so beautiful, how can you enjoy it all by yourself?"
"Really?" Si Lan said calmly, "I just found out about this too."
"What?"
"I just realized what this place looks like." Si Lan suddenly smiled and added, "Suddenly."
