Before Director Liu could finish speaking, Wang Jianye's large face suddenly appeared in front of him.
Director Liu pretended not to see it, shoved Wang Jianye's face away, and continued speaking as if nothing had happened.
"Zi'an, you..."
"Old Liu, don't complicate a simple matter! It's no big deal, you just want our Zian to be your strategist, right?"
"You're only just realizing this now? I thought you were really stupid."
Faced with Wang Jianye's repeated interruptions, Director Liu retorted irritably.
Wang Jianye knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't want to argue with him anymore.
He touched his nose and turned his gaze to Qin Zian: "Zian, do you have any good publicity ideas? Quickly talk to Director Liu and send him off in style."
This was meant to be a kind remark, but Director Liu found it awkward no matter how he listened to it.
However, Director Liu didn't pay much attention to it, and his gaze was quickly drawn to Qin Zi'an.
"Director Liu, I do have a good idea, but it's quite risky."
"It's alright! Zian, just tell me directly. No matter how risky it is, it's not as good as taking on ten Siberian tigers one-on-one."
After saying this, Director Liu gave Wang Jianye a meaningful look.
Wang Jianye acted as if nothing had happened, leisurely sipping his tea.
Anyway, Qin Zian can't go to Jidi for a while, so the crisis has been temporarily resolved. There's no need for Wang Jianye to make a big deal out of it with Director Liu.
Since Director Liu had told Qin Zi'an to speak freely, he had no more worries and directly expressed his thoughts.
"Changbai Mountain is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Jilin Province. It attracts many tourists every year for its snow-covered landscapes in winter and its cool summer retreats. However, as tourists' demands for cultural and tourism experiences have increased, they are no longer satisfied with traditional tourism methods."
"When developing cultural tourism, we can't just think about what we have; we need to shift our thinking and consider what tourists need. There are countless places to see snow in winter and escape the heat in summer, so why would tourists travel all the way to Changbai Mountain?"
"Like the 'Time Travel Tour' I organized for the Yuzhou Culture and Tourism Bureau, this is a cultural and tourism activity planned from the perspective of tourists. It allows them to experience authentic Central Plains culture and immerse themselves in the lives of ancient people."
Upon hearing Qin Zi'an's words, Director Liu nodded in agreement.
Indeed, meeting the needs of tourists is a very important thing.
The problem is that Yuzhou is a cultural holy land, very suitable for activities that span thousands of years.
In contrast, the culture of Jidi is not as outstanding.
If we were to actually do a time-travel experience, the only thing we could do is create a Korean ethnic minority experience tour.
"Zian, we in Ji'an have also conducted in-depth research on the Yuzhou case. The Korean culture in Ji'an is quite unique, and we have also developed a series of tourism activities."
"Tourists can take photos in traditional Korean clothing and try local snacks... It was popular online for a while, but it never reached the same level of popularity as Harbin and Yuzhou."
“I’ve been thinking about how our Jilin Culture and Tourism Bureau should promote ourselves and successfully join this cultural tourism boom. Following your idea, should we increase our efforts to promote Korean culture?”
Director Liu humbly asked questions and shared all his thoughts.
He thought he had mastered the ability to apply knowledge to new situations, but he saw Qin Zian shaking his head.
"Director Liu, you also mentioned that this cultural tourism plan has already gone viral online. This shows that the plan is feasible and can be continuously promoted. But that's not what I want to talk about. What I really want to say is that Jidi should consider creating its own tourism IP."
"Creating a tourism IP?"
"That's right! There's a series of tomb raiding novels that's incredibly popular in China, with a huge readership. They even left behind the famous line, 'The spirit returns from Changbai Mountain in August, ten years of waiting have not brought me regret.'"
"What novel is it? I've never heard of it."
Just as Director Liu was listening with great interest, Wang Jianye suddenly chimed in.
"If you don't understand, just Google it. Why are you spouting so much nonsense?" Director Liu glared at Wang Jianye, then smiled at Qin Zian. "Zian, I know the novel you're talking about. Ignore it and just continue with your thoughts."
"What I want to say is actually very simple: Jidi will build a Heavenly Palace on the Clouds in Changbai Mountain. It will be a one-to-one replica of the novel's description, creating a paradise exclusively for the people of the Dragon Kingdom."
Upon hearing Qin Zian's idea, Director Liu frowned and began to think.
Only now did he understand why Qin Zian had said that this publicity project was very risky.
This is about using a novel's IP to create a tourist attraction. Copyright issues aside, meeting the expectations of book fans is a very difficult task.
After all, the charm of a novel lies in its ability to exert an endless allure on the reader.
Just as there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers, so too is the Heavenly Palace in the Clouds.
If the Jidi Cultural Tourism Bureau invests a huge sum of money to build the Heavenly Palace in the Clouds, but readers don't buy it, then it would be the biggest joke in the world.
As a fan of this IP, Director Liu also watches the film and television adaptations.
It's no exaggeration to say that when Director Liu sees those incongruous actors and scenes, he will curse them out.
Just thinking about this made Director Liu feel a little hesitant and timid.
"Zi'an, to be honest, I'm also a fan of this book and I know about the ten-year promise between the two main characters. If Jidi starts building the Cloud Palace now, he can make it in time for this promise."
"I admit it's a very good idea, but putting it into practice... is very difficult. Funding isn't the problem; the issue lies in creating a real-life version of the Heavenly Palace in the Clouds. If the result is unsatisfactory, it will definitely backfire."
“But if this paradise exclusively for the Dragon Kingdom is successfully built and recognized by a large number of book fans, then Changbai Mountain will definitely become a hit across the entire internet.” Director Liu pursed his lips, looking at Qin Zian with a troubled expression, “It’s difficult! It’s too difficult to make a decision.”
Compared to Director Liu's worried expression, Qin Zi'an seemed much more relaxed and at ease.
For Qin Zi'an, as long as Director Liu was willing to try this method, all the problems would be solved.
After all, he has a system with him, so recreating a scene from a novel is a piece of cake for him.
With that in mind, Qin Zian purchased the design blueprints for the 'Cloud Palace' amusement park from the system and transferred them to his mobile phone.
"Director Liu, please don't rush. Let's discuss any issues after reviewing this design drawing."
