Chapter 44: The Snow Emperor ascends the throne
The popularity of state gifts remains high in the country.
But of course, no matter how powerful the netizens' imaginations are, it is impossible for Jia Wenyan to really have any petty and crooked thoughts at such an important occasion as the Olympic national ceremony.
Of course, netizens also understand this point. After all, what Jia Wenyan chose are all cultures that the corresponding countries themselves insist on and even promote.
Therefore, without any lazy finishing by Jia Wenyan, no matter how much Donghuang netizens "thought" in their hearts, at most they could just leave a sidelong smile in the comment section to show that they understood immediately.
As for whether anyone on the outside Internet will have other disputes due to the "brain supplement" of Donghuang netizens, that is another matter completely.
After all, Jia Wenyan's technical ability is unquestionable, and therefore there is no cutting of corners in her works.
If you question her highly restored and realistic porcelain works, you are indirectly denying the culture promoted by your own country.
To be frank, Jia Wenyan's set of Winter Olympics porcelain national gifts can be said to be very rare in the field of handicrafts, which is full of aesthetic controversies in all aspects, and has received unanimous praise from the Donghuang public.
However, what makes people feel a little helpless is that Jia Wenyan, as the person involved, does not seem to be prepared to take advantage of this wave of popularity to move forward.
Even though tourists and netizens' attention to Jia Wenyan reached an unprecedented level with the blessing of the national gift, on that New Year's Day, the Yong'an Museum did not take any additional actions except for the Porcelain Sakura and the Twelve Dragons and Nine Phoenix Crown, which won the vote in the previous quarter, that is, the cartoon (artifact spirit) image of Cui Yushang.
Oh no, if I have to say, there is another exception, and that is the Snow Queen who has been promoted to Yong'an Museum Street.
On New Year's Day this year, it collaborated with the Yong'an Museum to launch a brand new Chinese-style dessert shop.
Just like the red jade porcelain brocade box and Yuzhen Paste, this time the Yongan Museum also sold a variety of traditional Chinese desserts in the Snow Queen's coffee shop, using containers that were modeled after the "Ming Dynasty Ice Mirror".
Once the improved version of the new national style pastry, which changed the greasy impression of traditional pastries, was launched, it immediately attracted the attention of countless internet celebrities and foodies.
In addition, after the Yong'an Museum reached a cooperation with Snow Queen, it opened a second-floor coffee shop above the milk tea shop, which allows visitors to enjoy the best view of the porcelain cherry trees in the museum through high-definition glass.
The most important thing is that the Yongan Dim Sum Shop on the second floor did not use the gimmick of Chinese style to increase prices in disguise like some unscrupulous merchants, but adopted the "people-friendly policy" that is very rare in the dessert circle, just like Snow Queen.
In this era, no ordinary consumer can resist the temptation of a cup of milk tea and a plate of traditional Chinese dessert for less than 20 yuan.
Coupled with the all-ceramic cherry tree landscape in the central patio of the Yongan Museum, this configuration is a complete dimensionality reduction attack for the cafes and afternoon tea in the urban circle.
【Cha Qianlu: Oh, my Xue, you are so insidious. 】
[Nai Xue: Brother, what happened to your promise to focus on the lower-tier markets? ]
【Bawang Tea Queen: Didn’t we agree that I would go for the Chinese style and you would go for the second dimension? You got the wrong character, Dixue.】
Snow King’s new move made all the major milk tea brands panic, and it was natural for it to launch a series of Chinese-style milk teas in the store café of the Yong’an Museum.
High-end configuration combined with the lowest price among similar products.
The one-time blow to the two major markets of milk tea and desserts made merchants and consumers experience an almost polar reversal of heaven and hell.
After all, when Snow Queen displays product quality of this level, the competitiveness of so-called high-end milk tea will collapse instantly.
No one would have thought that Snow Queen would come up with such a move at this point in time that almost turned the tables in the entire milk tea circle.
Oh, no, strictly speaking, the viewing cafe on the second floor of the Yong'an Museum is not simply low-consumption.
In order to control the flow of people, the Chinese-style viewing cafe on the second floor of the Yong'an Museum requires consumers to purchase a wooden snack box modeled after the "Ming Dynasty Ice Mirror" in the store.
This dim sum box, which costs an average of NT$100, is like a VIP card for a coffee shop. As long as you bring the "bingjian box" with you, you can enjoy an afternoon tea time with a view of the scenery, which lasts an average of 40 minutes per table, provided that the number of diners on the second floor has not reached the upper limit.
A packing box costs one hundred yuan, and if it weren’t for the New Year promotion, the price would be doubled.
Such an arrangement is extremely outrageous in any catering industry.
But when they saw the wooden box made based on the style of Ming Dynasty ice jar, many consumers chose to accept this rule.
After all, if we put aside its "packing box" setting, from the perspective of the scenic spot's cultural and creative industry, such a wooden box with exquisite carvings on the exterior is definitely worthy of reaching three digits.
Then not to mention that it also represents a spacious and comfortable viewing environment on the second floor.
If it weren't for this move, with the passenger flow of Mi Bing Xue City, the viewing cafe on the second floor would have been turned into a crowded stand in minutes.
In this regard, the arrangement of Yongan Museum and Mibingxue City can definitely be regarded as the best combination that suits local conditions.
They are well aware that only by providing customers with a spacious and comfortable environment can they better feel and appreciate the value of the humanities industry.
But their approach is undoubtedly a fatal blow to some milk tea brands.
[We are all standing at the door, why are you selling it so expensively? ]
[Are your ingredients good? ]
[Other people only charge less than twenty yuan for milk tea, dessert and top-notch artificial landscape. What qualifications do you have to charge me for forty or fifty yuan for a cup of milk tea? ]
[Do I look like a sucker? ]
[It's just a daily drink, why is it being treated like a tire factory? ]
[Do you think you are Moutai? Moutai has the time cost of brewing? Milk tea... do you brew it fresh? ]
[It's fine if you set up a pot in the store to make milk tea for me like the traditional milk tea in my grassland province, but it's all instant milk tea powder... Are you much more fragrant, superior and noble than me? ]
[That’s right, Wo Xiang Wo You was born in the wrong era. If we were born now, we could also be a high-end milk tea brand. ]
[But to be honest, these snacks recommended by Yongan Museum are really good-looking. 】
[How can the above not look good? Do you see the mooncake-like Tianhua Yulu Cream? They are all made on the spot by the dim sum chefs. ]
[One more thing, the lady at the milk tea shop even pulled open the glass barrier to show me, wow, there were more than 20 dim sum chefs working like crazy in the kitchen. ]
【Wrong, it started when some customers questioned why the store staff didn’t allow them to choose the desserts they wanted. At first we thought the store was doing some product matching like those luxury brands, but it turns out that the reason they didn’t allow them to choose was simply because they couldn’t supply enough.】
[Just think about how big the customer flow is at Snow King. I queued for ten minutes today and didn’t see a single customer ordering milk tea.]
[The lady said directly that as long as the goods prepared before the opening are sold out, then we will sell whatever is made in the kitchen. ]
【This is the confidence from the top popular store. 】
The milk tea brand scolded Snow King for overturning the table, while the milk tea fans supported Snow King to take the throne.
From exhibits to animated films to cooperative catering products, the Yongan Museum has given everyone unprecedented multi-field shocks this Gregorian New Year.
But what is puzzling is that at this time when an explosion would almost certainly occur if she showed up, Jia Wenyan, who is the most direct party involved, actually completely disappeared.
Not to mention the chance encounters in museums, even the active invitations from the news media had no chance of making any progress.
Such a restrained style of painting can't help but make many netizens curious. You know, Jia Wenyan was a genius who would actively use 24-hour non-stop live broadcast on D Station to promote herself and the Yong'an Museum.
There may be possibilities for cooperation with others in other fields, but even if we put aside the content of the cooperation, Jia Wenyan's porcelain cherry trees and national gift works have already made her a top star at the moment.
Then there is no need to mention the miraculous "Dream of Tanshi".
After "The Stone" became a hit, many netizens were curious about the soundtrack that runs through the entire animated film.
Although the film's production credits only listed Jia Wenyan as a performer, according to live broadcasts by the recording engineer who participated in the recording of Tanshimeng and the performers who failed to be selected.
The poem "Dream of Tanshi" is definitely related to Jia Wenyan.
At that moment, almost everyone believed that Jia Wenyan would become the "Purple Star" that became popular at the beginning of this year. But they did not expect that Jia Wenyan would be indifferent to such popularity.
Could it be because she thinks the Yongan Museum is popular enough now?
That shouldn't be the case. If she really didn't care about traffic, why would she have done the kind of non-stop live broadcast on Station D that almost challenged her physical limits for the sake of promotion?
Netizens are confused as to why Jia Wenyan showed such a completely contradictory reaction.
At that moment, they were completely puzzled and decisively pointed the finger at Zhen Shuwang, who had started accepting interviews from various media because of the huge success of "The Stubborn Stone".
Netizens want to get more valuable information from Zhen Shuwang.
Especially after a professor of classical music at Xian'an University publicly praised Jia Wenyan's guqin skills, many netizens hoped that Zhenxin Animation, as the producer of "The Stubborn Stone", would allow Jia Wenyan to give a public live performance in front of all the audiences.
However, who would have thought that just when they thought the producers would not offend the fans at this point of box office success, Zhen Shuwang not only publicly rejected the netizens' proposal to invite Jia Wenyan to perform publicly in an interview.
He even responded publicly in front of the camera:
"I know that the audience is very curious about Director Jia's affairs, but I am not qualified to make any response on his behalf. Moreover, Director Jia has a very heavy workload recently."
"I know everyone is very curious about Director Jia's situation, but what she needs most now is to have a good rest to recover from the fatigue accumulated from working overtime for a long time recently."
