The popularity of mermaids not only covers the art photo circle, but also the cultural and creative product department of Xingzhou Island has decided to launch several mermaid figures.
Unlike the previous peripherals that were based on real objects, this time the figures are the first virtual characters launched by Xingzhou Island.
Zheng Xuan communicated with the copyright holder of the second part of "Mermaid Love Song" and decided to designate one of the figures as a joint model of the film and television series, the "Mermaid Queen Model" based on Song Ruqing as the template. As for the remaining styles, one is the same model as the Mermaid Square sculpture, and the other is a Q version model based on the three-head Q version of the little mermaid portrait provided by Li Yaolin.
This makes more people think that the video of "Mermaids appearing on Xingzhou Island" that was circulated on the Internet was a deliberate hype. Even if they see "mermaids" in the sea next time, they will not be easily fooled.
The tourist who took the video felt that he was innocent. He just took a picture of what he saw. Who knew it was an actor?
However, how could someone jump into the sea with a fish tail? Are they really not afraid of drowning?
This question also lingers in the mind of the "poor mother".
After a series of changes in mentality, such as the shock of seeing the mermaid, the loss of discovering that it was an actor, and the self-doubt after slowly recalling more details, she couldn't help but feel scared for the actor's behavior.
You have to know that the waves were strong and the tide was turbulent. It was easy to get into the sea even with diving equipment. The other party did not look like she was carrying diving equipment at the time, not to mention that her legs were wrapped in mermaid tails. Wouldn't this increase the difficulty of escape?
And she was there all the time. Until the police arrived, she didn't see the other party swim to the shore. So did the other party swim to another place and then go ashore? But she didn't see anyone swimming at the time! It was not
until the second season of "The Mermaid Song" was broadcast that the crew released some footage of the actor "Yu Xiaoyu" who played the young mermaid queen filmed in the sea. Her doubts were answered - the other party's swimming ability was not ordinary. She held her breath underwater for ten minutes without taking a breath, as if she was born to live in the water.
Netizens were overwhelmed by the performance of the little mermaid, and could not help but be smitten by its unique charm. The mermaid figurines on Xingzhou Island were sold out, and the limited edition with the island owner's stamp on the base was sold at a sky-high price of 100,000 yuan...
Of course, this is all later. Neither tourists nor Li Yaolin could predict the future, and most people are only focused on the present.
...
After more than a month of construction, the three station buildings of the "Sea Cable Car" project have been completed. Li Yaolin looked at the [Assets] and found that the development funds had accumulated 68 million yuan, and the turnover had reached 150 million yuan, of which the net profit was 58.22 million yuan. This part of the profit that can be controlled by Li Yaolin, plus the accumulated development funds, is enough to build the "sea cable car" of the sea section.
The earlier the construction is completed, the earlier it is put into operation, the earlier it will make a profit. Li Yaolin created the "sea cable car" project on the APP without hesitation.
The total length of the planned construction of the sea section is 3,606 meters. There are a total of 4 tower supports between the two station buildings. The cableway adopts a double-line double-track line, which can withstand a super typhoon of level 15. And it can ensure smooth operation under the condition of level 9 wind, which is more wind-resistant than the world's longest sea cable car.
The same tower section can carry up to 15 carriages. Of course, considering the tourists' sightseeing experience and weight, it will be reduced during actual operation.
Soon after the planning was completed, the nearby fishing villages received a notice that there would be construction work in the waters between the coastal areas and the reef islands of the reserve, and that ships should avoid the area when sailing.
This period is a fishing ban period, and there are basically no fishing boats going out to sea to catch fish, but a small number of fishermen who poach fish cannot be prevented, so the village chiefs of each village felt it necessary to repeatedly remind and emphasize this.
During the meeting, a villager said bitterly: "We are not as advantageous as Potou Village. They don't go out to sea to fish, but they can still make money by running a B&B. Tourists here basically don't stay overnight except for taking a boat ride. What will we eat if we don't fish?"
Potou Village and its neighboring villages are adjacent to the Xingzhou Island Cultural and Creative Industrial Park, so after Zhang Yaode and the county leaders discussed it, they decided to allow villagers to use their self-built houses to run B&Bs, provided that they complete all the formalities, comply with the qualifications and regulations, and accept inspections from relevant departments at any time.
Not far from their village is a five-star hotel being built by Mandarin Oriental Group. Considering the environment near the five-star hotel, Mandarin Oriental Group is also willing to help these villagers, invest in them to run a B&B, and then paint the exterior walls of the house to make it more like a tourist attraction.
The village over there is developing rapidly, while the village in Liantou Port is not satisfied with the increase in income from setting up stalls. In contrast, they also want to make more money.
The village chief said: "Okay, the construction of the 'sea cable car' of Xingzhou Island has begun. There will definitely be many tourists coming to ride the cable car in the future. Are you still worried about not making money by then?"
The villagers asked: "So, this construction in the sea is to build a cable car?"
"Isn't this obvious?"
"We thought it would take three to five years to complete!"
The villagers' enthusiasm for discussion rose, and those who were still complaining at first also had a glimmer of hope.
The village chief said: "Now there are more and more overseas tourists, and the city attaches great importance to environmental sanitation. Therefore, the village will carry out many rounds of beautiful countryside creation work in the future. I hope everyone will cooperate. After all, the village is ours. In order to live a better life, it is necessary to understand our work.
"Also, we have a lot of job opportunities here now, and we urgently need people who can speak English. If you have college students studying English or children or relatives who have English-related certificates and work as tour guides, you can recommend them..."
Most of the employees on Xingzhou Island are locals, but with the increase in overseas tourists, Li Yaolin has also arranged employees who know English in various project positions.
The tourist service center has even set up a foreign language consultation post, and the languages involved include not only English, but also Japanese and French - this is based on the top three regions in terms of the number of overseas tourists last year and the first quarter of this year.
In addition to Xingzhou Island, Mandarin Travel Service has also recruited many tour guides who know foreign languages. Although travel agencies cannot do the tour guide business on Xingzhou Island, there is still a lot of cooperation in the Cultural and Creative Industrial Park.
According to the previous cooperation agreement, Xingzhou Island will give priority to cooperating with Mandarin Travel Agency. For projects like exhibition halls that are free but have limited quotas, travel agencies can lead groups to visit, but the quotas are limited. After all, some visiting quotas must be reserved for tourists who travel independently. There
are also performances in open-air theaters. Travel agencies can learn about the performances in advance through Xingzhou Island, and then contact the organizers of the performances to purchase group tickets online.
Travel agencies can make money by leading groups, and the organizers can also expand ticket sales channels, increase the number of viewers, and improve the popularity of the performances, while the open-air theater makes money from the venue rental fees of the performers.
Of course, Xingzhou Island’s position remains unchanged. In addition to these cooperation terms, travel agencies cannot force tourists to consume, so as not to damage the image and reputation of Xingzhou Island.
…
The construction period of a single tower support is shorter than that of the station building, but it took a total of three months to build four tower supports plus the time to lay steel cables and cable cars.
Netizens who thought it would take longer to build were shocked when they saw the photos taken by tourists at Jiahai Mountain Ridge: "I have to say, this speed can only be achieved by China, which is known as the infrastructure maniac! China's infrastructure YYDS!"
Instead of lamenting the time it took to build, netizens are more concerned about when it will be open, how much the ticket price is, how it will operate, and whether it is safe.
In response, Li Yaolin directly asked Lin Qitong to start a live broadcast, allowing netizens and viewers to follow her camera to understand the "sea cable car" project - compared with oral expressions and text announcements, this will be more convincing and will leave a deeper impression on people.
The starting station of the cable car is Jiahai Dengling. The altitude of Dengling is not high, only one-third of the nearby Liantouling, but it is also 72 meters.
The station building of the cable car is built on the top of the mountain. There are two ways to get on and off the station building: stairs and escalators. The entrance and exit are located on the beach side of Jiahai. The ticket sales platform is also divided into online and offline. Online tickets can be purchased on the mini program and the official website, and offline tickets are sold in the ticket office and ticket machines.
The ticket price for the Jiahai section is 235 yuan per person. There is no distinction between single and double trips. They all start from Dengling and return after reaching the reef island. The whole journey takes about 92 minutes.
There are two types of cable car carriages, one is a small carriage for two people, and the other is a large carriage for four people. The former is suitable for tourists traveling alone or in pairs, while the latter is more suitable for families and groups of people.
Whether it is a large or small carriage, it is semi-open, with plexiglass around and underneath, which can not only protect against wind and rain, but also take into account safety, and will not affect tourists' viewing of the surrounding scenery.
The distance between the cable car carriages is about 100 meters, with 7 carriages running at the same time in a single section and 34 carriages running at the same time on the same side (17 large and 17 large carriages).
Lin Qitong's live broadcast was conducted via mobile phone. When she was at the Dengling Station, she said to the audience excitedly: "I used to make store exploration videos. This live broadcast made me feel like I was back in time. I am so excited!"
The audience asked her: "Has Miss Qiqi never ridden the sea cable car before?"
She replied: "No, and I will be the first person to ride the cable car on Xingzhou Island, and we are also the first batch of 'tourists' to experience the cable car first!"
The cable car passed the station slowly, and she said: "Here I am, I'll go up first!"
The cable car will not stop, but it runs very slowly, and Lin Qitong will not have any problems going up slowly.
She chose a small double carriage, which has seats on only one side, but there is no need to worry about it being unbalanced.
Lin Qitong said: "The two-person carriage is relatively small, but the advantage is that you can have a panoramic view of the scenery in front! Of course, the four-person carriage also has its advantages, and it is more suitable for family trips..."
The carriage slowly left the station building, began to leave the ground, and hung in the air. Through the glass under my feet, the ground seemed to be slowly moving away, and Lin Qitong, who was not afraid of heights, couldn't help but sweat.
After leaving the lush mountain section, the carriage began to go downhill, slowly descending from a height of 60 to 70 meters to 40 to 50 meters. When it officially entered the sea, the height was only more than 30 meters.
The blue sea was right under my feet. Without beauty and filters, the color of the sea presented in front of the camera made countless spectators unable to take their eyes away.
Even Lin Qitong, who was looking down at the sea from the sky for the first time, was dazed for a moment and almost forgot that she had a live broadcast mission.
"I've seen the aerial videos shot by drones before, but I always felt that they were missing something. Now I know what's missing... the sense of immersion is missing!" said the audience.
"Although the water quality here is not as good as that of Xingzhou Island, it is still very good!"
"This height is really comfortable. It is not too low, so you don't have to worry about collisions with ships passing below. The visible sea area is also relatively wide; it is not too high either. I, who am slightly afraid of heights, said I dare to take a ride!"
At this time, some spectators discovered Chinese white dolphins and killer whales in the sea. Judging from the harmony between the two sides, it is very likely that they are sub-adult Pipi and killer whale cubs who have become good friends. They seem to be having a 400-meter swimming competition. As soon as one jumps out of the water, the other also jumps and performs a rotation.
Behind them, there are whale sharks swimming slowly, as if they are old ladies helping their neighbors take care of their children.
The audience was so cute that their faces bled.
If you want to see the real bodies of these marine creatures, I am afraid that in addition to the "Marine Ecological Corridor", you can only see them on the "Sea Cable Car". Both have their own advantages. The former can see more clearly and can also see the scenes of them hunting in the sea; on the cable car, you can see their activities when they surface, and the field of vision is wide, and there are different sensory effects.
Lin Qitong's eyes were also chasing these lively white dolphins and killer whale cubs. Suddenly, a bullet screen passed by and asked her to look to the other side.
"What is that? It's such a big shadow. It doesn't look like a whale shark!"
Lin Qitong turned her head and saw a black shadow of more than ten meters long swimming in the water at a very fast speed in the blue sea.
At first she thought it was a whale shark, but wasn't the whale shark behind Pipi and the others? What was this black shadow? What
made her heart beat faster was that a few more black shadows appeared a little later, and they looked like submarines, but how could there be submarines in this place?
When she was hesitating whether to call Li Yaolin to let him know, the black shadow surfaced.
Author's words:
Whale shark: After being a nanny, have you become an old lady who helps the neighbors take care of their children? Are you polite?
