After the Lantern Festival, the temperature gradually warmed up. Although there were still some late spring cold spells, it did not affect the daytime temperature difference of Xingzhou Island, which does not exceed 5℃ throughout the year.
Director Fu's new drama has been scheduled to be broadcast on Friday night, March 4, so during this Lantern Festival, the production team took advantage of the trending searches on Xingzhou Island and released the trailer.
The first scene of the trailer is a magnificent, mysterious, fantasy-filled, dangerous and mysterious underwater world.
Netizens were stunned, as if they saw the scenery of Pandora in "Avatar". When they praised the special effects, the official blog of the TV series said: "This is not a special effect, it is a real scenery!"
In addition to the trailer, the official blog also released a lot of filming behind-the-scenes, including a scene of Zhou Qunfang happily diving above a coral reef, surrounded by a group of colorful tropical fish.
Netizens were reminded of last year's controversy about the glowing diving spots of Xingzhou Island. At that time, there was no evidence to prove that Xingzhou Island was fake, and most netizens on the Internet did not have the opportunity to experience diving. Gradually, there was less discussion.
This preview and highlights once again reminded them of that August that was full of shock, doubt and dreamlikeness, and once again aroused their interest in the diving project of Xingzhou Island.
There is another scene in the trailer where the male lead uses his ability to make the female lead happy, presenting a visual feast comparable to special effects. Sharp-eyed netizens recognized that it was the night wonder of Xingzhou Island, "sea fire". Although they have seen many videos posted by netizens on the Internet, this is the first time they have seen the real "sea fire" in a TV series.
Netizens shouted: "Start broadcasting soon, I want to watch it!"
"I declare that this is the most romantic and beautiful TV series this year!"
...
Zhou Qunfang also promoted the new drama by posting V blogs and participating in interviews as agreed. Every time this happens, netizens remember her identity as a "Xingzhou Island annual ticket member" and have to come and absorb her good luck.
The publicity of this drama is quite effective, and the attention is getting higher and higher. Even Xingzhou Island, which saw a slight decline in the number of daily tourists and hotel occupancy rate after the Lantern Festival, has once again welcomed a tourism boom.
With the help of this drama and Xingzhou Island, Youshi, a small third- or fourth-tier city, has gradually become known to more people, and the municipal government has taken the opportunity to promote Youshi's tourism image. In the past, when promoting, the Island Sea Park and the open-pit mine were often put first, but now Xingzhou Island is put first.
Xingzhou Island has become the new signboard of Youshi's tourism brand.
Many advertisers have set their sponsorship targets on the tourist route from Biwan Station to Baoren Port Pier. If advertisements can be placed on this route, the effect may be very ideal.
Therefore, the opening progress of this line was accelerated. All stakeholders and the municipal government signed an agreement, and the route was thoroughly planned. It will be officially put into operation on March 10.
According to the planned route, the tourist bus will depart from Biwan Station, stop at the Eight Scenic Spots of Biwan, the Former Residence of Lady Xian, the Bell and Drum Tower, and a real estate project of a large real estate developer who sponsored the establishment of this route. The final stop is Baoren Port Pier.
Because it is a tourist bus, the time of the first and last bus is different from that of ordinary buses. The earliest one is 6:30 and the last bus is 20:30. There is a 40-minute trip, with a total of 22 trips.
As for the route from Biwan Station to Liantou Port, it has not been put into operation because the ticket waiting hall of Xingzhou Island has not been built yet.
However, the factory that Xingzhou Island plans to open to produce cultural and creative products has successfully passed the approval of relevant departments and can be officially built.
Although the factory is not large, it can at least provide 20 to 30 jobs. In addition, since it is a factory on Xingzhou Island, the government of Biwan District has also actively recommended many workshops that can be used as factories.
Zhang Yaode, who was preparing for the election of village chief, learned the news and took the initiative to contact Vice President Qi and said, "There was a snail processing factory in our village, but it was closed because of poor economic benefits and lack of qualifications. But the processing factory remained..."
Xingzhou Island wanted to build the factory not far from the wharf, but the surrounding land was either industrial warehouses or agricultural, forestry, and tourism land that were restricted from building factories. Moreover, if an industrial warehouse was rented, the cost would not be low.
Potou Village where Zhang Yaode was located was only two kilometers away from Baoren Port Wharf, and the transportation was quite convenient, which was worth considering.
Vice President Qi has visited the factory, which covers an area of 1 mu and is located next to the coastal tourism highway planned and built by the government. When the highway is built, the transportation here will be more convenient.
Moreover, the factory obtained some permits when it was built, so if Xingzhou Island rents the land, it does not have to worry about violating regulations or laws.
Zhang Yaode also said that the rent can be cheaper, but the condition is that Xingzhou Island must provide half of the jobs to villagers in the village.
Vice President Qi said: "We want to produce cultural and creative products. We must be dexterous, careful, and have relevant skills. How many people in the village meet the requirements?"
"We can learn, and our requirements are not high. We only need half of the positions, even if they are odd jobs!"
Zhang Yaode wants these positions not for the elderly in the village, but for the young people.
Although Youshi is the city with the largest population loss in Lingnan Province, many young people have flowed into the Pearl River Delta, but there are still some young people in the village.
They are tired of the life of fishing at sea, and they are afraid of losing their lives at sea. Let them find a proper job. In the environment of Biwan District, most of the jobs that can be provided are insecure and unstable.
Take Zhang Yaode's niece as an example. She is a graduate of the oil market. After graduation, she wanted to find a suitable job and ended up working for a company owned by a relative. Not only did she work 996, but her salary was also low, and she didn't have five insurances and one fund. Want to buy social insurance? Sure, the company's share must be deducted from her salary.
If she needs to take a leave, her relatives will complain to her parents. If she wants to quit, she can't find a better job...
This vicious cycle has made young people in the village less and less willing to work, and they have chosen to stay at home and rely on their parents.
But Xingzhou Island is different. Everyone knows that Xingzhou Island is now in a stage of vigorous development. 90% of the employees on the island are from Youshi, and 60% of the employees are from the local area. According to them, Xingzhou Island has good welfare benefits. As long as you don't commit crimes or violate the company's rules and regulations, there is basically no risk of being fired.
Therefore, since the development of Xingzhou Island, very few employees have wanted to resign.
If this factory is branded with the mark of Xingzhou Island, wouldn't it be equivalent to a stable job? The
factory is located near the village. The young people in the village eat and live at home, and they get paid. They will definitely not run away, right?
Zhang Yaode was so active in promoting this matter because of his own selfish motives. If he could do it well, many people in the village would definitely vote for him.
Vice President Qi was undecided, so he asked Li Yaolin, who said, "You can consider it. After all, if a factory cannot provide jobs for the local people, it will not be popular. And some positions that require high skills can be arranged by recruiting craftsmen from the sheep market, and the rest of the positions that do not require high skills can be trained first..."
So the matter of renting a snail meat processing plant was initially agreed.
Of course, the factory on Xingzhou Island would not be named after the factory. Li Yaolin named it "Xingzhou Island Cultural and Creative Park". The little mermaid said that she never thought that she, who was bad at naming, could come up with a good name one day.
...
On March 4, the new drama "Mermaid Love Song" starring Zhou Qunfang and shot by Director Fu was broadcast on the prime time of Blueberry Channel at 7 pm.
Compared with the short ten seconds of footage in the trailer, there are obviously more footage about Xingzhou Island in the drama, including diving spots, snorkeling areas, white sand beaches, "sea fire", and "sea dampness" - not the scene where the dugong appeared in the footage shot by Director Fu, but replaced with other footage to better fit the narrative of the story.
The official blog also released the original footage, and everyone knew that Director Fu encountered "sea rain" on the day of filming. Netizens praised the crew for being lucky to encounter "sea rain" and "sea fire".
However, the "sea fire" footage obviously appeared only after the male and female protagonists had a deeper bond, and everyone could only appreciate the beautiful scenery of Xingzhou Island.
In a residential building in a first-tier city, a middle-aged woman who was watching TV after dinner said, "The special effects are great!"
The girl who was cleaning up the dishes looked up and said, "Mom, this is not a special effect, it's a real scene."
"Where is the real scene so beautiful?"
"Xingzhou Island, there are behind-the-scenes footage on the Internet, these are all real scenes."
The man next to the middle-aged woman asked, "Is the mermaid palace real too?"
"This... is fake."
"This place is pretty."
The girl came out of the kitchen, walked to her parents, and said, "Dad, Mom, I'll take you there for a trip!"
"Do you want to go abroad?" In the middle-aged woman's impression, only foreign islands can be so beautiful.
"No, it's in Youshi, Lingnan Province. Our city happens to have a flight to there. It only takes an hour by car. The journey is not too long, and Mom doesn't have to worry about motion sickness..."
The middle-aged woman was a little tempted and glanced at the man next to her. The latter nodded: "Then go!"
...
This scene has been staged in many families, and the "popularity" of Xingzhou Island has been rising.
Li Yaolin finally figured out why Xingzhou Island was frequently searched and appeared in the news before, but its popularity has always been stuck at 30%. Because although there are many netizens in China, the information on the Internet is massive, and netizens cannot access all the information. Therefore, if other publicity channels are not developed, then the scope of its popularity will be limited.
Because of this, when the producer of Litchi TV came to her to discuss cooperation, she did not reject it outright like she did when she rejected the variety show of Taozi TV.
"Our reality show is mainly for entertainment, and we applied for it with the purpose of promoting the 'Northern Gulf'. It is initially scheduled to have 12 episodes per season, and we will go to six cities to shoot. The first stop we want to choose is Guizhou..." The producer of Litchi TV talked freely.
He fully listened to the experience of Director Fu and Chairman Chang, and learned the lessons of Taozi TV. He did not dare to have the arrogant idea of "I will promote Xingzhou Island for you, you have to give me benefits and provide convenience for the program team during the filming process."
Li Yaolin read the other party's plan and felt that with the current conditions of Xingzhou Island, it was no problem to provide a venue for the program crew to shoot, and the impact on operations would not be great, so he agreed.
At the same time, the producer also contacted those popular stars.
Song Ruqing's agent found her and said, "There is a variety show that wants to find you recently."
Song Ruqing, who was originally listless, suddenly became energetic: "What variety show?"
"It's a reality show hosted by Litchi TV..."
Song Ruqing was a little disappointed after hearing this. After all, Litchi TV is not a well-known TV station.
Sure enough, she should have gone back to the island owner to ask for the postcard. It was really a shame to save face!
Now thinking back, she regrets it very much. When she found out that the girl she thought was her fan was the mysterious owner of Xingzhou Island, her mood was so complicated, just like riding a roller coaster, ups and downs.
In the end, for the sake of face, she didn't go back to find the other party.
The agent said again: "I heard that the other party also found Zhou Qunfang."
Song Ruqing asked hurriedly: "Did she agree?"
"We are still discussing, but she is very interested. Litchi Taiwan is very generous this time and gave a lot. If you didn't have some relationship with Xingzhou Island, they might not have found you. In addition, this variety show is to promote the Northern Bay, and it carries some official tasks. If you can take it, it will also be good for image building."
Song Ruqing was confused: "Ah? What does it have to do with Xingzhou Island?"
"The first stop of their variety show is Xingzhou Island. Xingzhou Island has agreed to provide a filming location. You and Zhou Qunfang have both been to Xingzhou Island. They think your image is in line with the requirements of their reality show, so they thought of looking for you."
Song Ruqing: "..."
I thought I was so unlucky before, but now it seems that I am not so unlucky?
