Chapter 55: The Chinese Magic Academy is going to teach "magic". ...
"Horse monkey liquor? Grandma, you don't mean..."
Xu Yonghe: "Yes, you are right. I want to create a school similar to Hogwarts."
"Anyway, don't those netizens always say that your skills in creating and restoring cultural relics are like magic? Let's just go all the way and cooperate with the theme park to build our school into a historical and cultural relic institution with the theme of "Chinese Magic"."
Xu Yonghe: "Of course, our school is not just for students to study. Our goal is to put what they learn into practice, so that students can work in the field of cultural relics restoration while studying."
"Those with good results will participate in the official restoration and reproduction of cultural relics, and those with average results will engage in the production of surrounding areas of the scenic area."
"We call it a school, but in fact it is for employment. As for why we use a name like Hogwarts, in addition to cooperating with the construction of the theme park, there is another very important reason, which is to avoid the public's prejudice against the word "technical school"."
Xu Yonghe pointed to the school plan on the computer and said, "I didn't actually think about setting up a school-like research institute at the beginning, but when we really understood the market situation, we found that the talent pool in the field of cultural relics restoration in China is still at a very scarce stage."
"Of course, this is not because we don't have demand, but the current cultural relics restoration market is difficult to provide enough jobs for talents in this field."
"Especially, the professional skills in many of these fields cannot be acquired through one or two years of campus study. From my communication with relevant units, it is difficult for most people to have enough time, energy and financial resources to stick to this path."
Jia Wenyan: "So you are going to adopt a mixed operation mode of study and work?"
"Yes, but there is another problem, which is that our school is too much like a technical school."
Xu Yonghe pointed to the subsequent environmental analysis and said: "Of course I am not discriminating against technical schools, but the social environment today is like this. Ordinary students who come to technical schools not only have to endure a lot of prejudice from society, but also from their families."
"So I'm going to use another form to sort this out."
"After the establishment of the college, the first batch of students will be recruited in a similar way to the postgraduate entrance examination, from the fields of cultural relics restoration, history, and news information multimedia. This postgraduate recruitment and undergraduate starting positioning will indirectly improve the public's psychological positioning of the college."
"Then, we will combine it with an immersive experience similar to a large-scale script-killing game for the entire school to fully display the environment atmosphere with Chinese culture as the theme."
"Doing so will not only reduce the public's concerns about our positioning, but will also better highlight our characteristics."
Jia Wenyan: "So grandma, the reason you created all that marketing hype online is for this?"
"Yes, since we are talking about this topic, of course I, as the principal, must be a very famous "magician". Besides, don't use ambiguous descriptions like marketing. Not a single word from me is false."
"In order to convince the audience, I have described my resume in a very restrained way."
Jia Wenyan: "So grandma, you want me to go to this magic school and take a job there?"
"That's right. But to be honest, the reason why I came up with this school theme was because of Shu Wang's influence."
Jia Wenyan: "Shu Wang?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Wenyan turned her head to look at Zhen Shuwang, who was sitting on the sofa next to her and writing and drawing on a tablet computer.
"Yeah, let me show you this."
After saying this, Grandma Xu snatched the tablet from Zhen Shuwang's hand.
Jia Wenyan looked closely and saw a comic cover with the words "The Girl Who Sees History" appearing on the tablet.
It’s not uncommon for animators to have comics in their computers, but the look of the heroine on this cover is different.
Jia Wenyan realized something from Zhen Shuwang's obviously panicked look. Seeing this, Grandma Xu on the side quickly added:
"This is the plan that Shu Wang worked on last night after the New Year's Eve event. He said he wanted to use it as a weekly drama to be launched by Zhenxin Animation to follow up "The Story of the Stubborn Stone"."
Grandma Xu took the initiative to add to the story as she looked at her grandson who was afraid to speak. At the same time, Jia Wenyan had already understood the general theme from the several character and scene sample drawings that had been planned.
The heroine of the show is named Zhen Xin, a freshman who has just been admitted to Yongan Magic School. At Yongan Magic School, students can have their own artifact elf partner after awakening and gaining recognition as historical relics.
The student union and the relic elves will work together to obtain more powerful magic by constantly improving their skills.
Here, the first lesson for all students upon admission is an important test to examine their talents and professional class placement through assessments of skills including ceramics, embroidery, painting, calligraphy, etc.
The heroine Zhen Xin in the comics is the first freshman in the history of Yong'an Magic School to awaken the "talent for all types of cultural relics".
From the setting alone, this is indeed an animation that fits the theme of the Cultural Relics Magic School mentioned by Grandma Xu, but the theme of this cultural relic elf...
"This is an idea that came to him when he saw you designing two-dimensional images for the artifacts in the Yong'an Museum."
"She said she wanted to further promote the Chinese comic style and give it to you as a thank you for your help in promoting her and making background music. Later, I thought this setting could be applied to the future Cultural Relics Technology Research Institute and the construction of the theme park, so I asked for it for my own use."
Jia Wenyan: "So grandma, you mean that the two of us are going to be human bodies of comic characters?"
Xu Yonghe: "Yes, although our recruitment target is definitely mainly undergraduates, and in the future we will only open it to college entrance examination candidates at most, but the best way to promote culture is to start with children."
"I plan to build a top Chinese theme park in Xian'an that can rival Disney and Universal Studios."
"I understand, but grandma, isn't one year still a little too fast? Although if we can really gather almost all the construction companies in Xian'an as you said, we can indeed maximize the progress of our project."
"But you know the situation in Xian'an. With such a long construction period, are you sure we won't be forced to change the route because of some historical relics?"
After Jia Wenyan finished speaking, she gestured for everyone to look at the map on the plan.
She admitted that the subject was very interesting, and if it could be realized, it would be a great boost to her Yong'an Museum, but the problem was that construction in Xian'an was not that easy.
It is true that there is an undeveloped wasteland behind the Yong'an Museum, a suburban scenic spot built near the last stop of the subway line, but don't forget that they are now in Xian'an City, a city where cultural relics can be unearthed with just a few shovels of digging by an excavator.
There is no need to consider the cost of demolition for the wasteland behind the Xian'an Museum, but that is why they have to consider whether there may be any cultural relics there.
However, who would have thought that as soon as she said this, the leader of the Cultural Heritage Bureau immediately responded:
"It would be even better if we dig it out. If we really find any remains, our archaeological team will directly cooperate with the construction team to quickly build the entire remains into a tourist attraction that can be protected and exhibited to the public."
Bureau of Culture and Tourism: "So Director Jia, you can rest assured that what we are building now is a theme park, not a commercial residential building. From this perspective, we can combine cultural relic protection and commercial construction together.
We will arrange the corresponding staff to work with the construction team. You can rest assured that we have rich experience in cooperating with the construction team, whether it is the archaeological team or the construction team in Xian'an. "
"So if Ms. Xu is willing to invest and you are willing to be the spokesperson for this series, we will move forward with this immediately."
"It just so happens that starting from this year, Donghuang will participate in both the Winter Olympics and the Asian Games. As long as we do well, we will have the opportunity to make our name known throughout Asia and even the world."
"As for the publicity and commercial potential, I think Director Jia should have experienced it when preparing the national gift for the Winter Olympics some time ago."
"We also know that this is a huge project, but as locals who have just witnessed the Yong'an Museum's New Year show, we all believe that as long as Director Jia is willing to take action, he will be able to produce a show that surpasses those Western theme parks."
Director Tang: "What does Director Jia think?"
"How could I have any objection? This matter has no harm to me. As long as Grandma Xu and the teacher agree, I have no objection to the rest."
Director Tang: "If possible, I hope to use the batch of Shang and Zhou replicas recently created by the Yong'an Museum first."
"Of course we don't want to loan them to other places for exhibition, but we hope to use these replicas that have recently caused heated discussions on the Internet to promote our theme park and the "Magic School" project."
"Then, if possible, we hope that Director Jia and your Yong'an Museum can complete the recruitment of the first batch of graduate students at Yong'an Magic Academy before the new batch of graduate students officially starts school this year."
Jia Wenyan: "I understand. And if possible, I'd better mention the theme park more in the next Winter Olympics-related interviews, right?"
Director Tang: "If you are willing, that would be great. Also, about the next promotional animation."
Zhen Shuwang: "I will work with the company's staff to complete the production of the first episode as soon as possible, and we will strive to complete the submission of the first episode for review before the end of the Olympic Games."
