177 Phantom Manor

Capital, Ruili Magazine

"Editor-in-Chief Yang, this is an invitation letter we just received."

At nine o'clock in the morning, Yang Xuehua, the female editor-in-chief in charge of the fashion publication of "Ruili Clothing", had just sat down at her desk when a person in charge of the marketing department walked in with a paper with a red cover.

Although she is over forty years old, she relies on her proper dress, and Yang Xuehua, who has shoulder-length curly hair, looks young and capable like a woman in her thirties.

It is through these eyes that are evaluated by his subordinates as "old and spicy" that Yang Xuehua always grasps the most cutting-edge trend and leads this fashion magazine to overcome obstacles and achieve a unique position in the domestic fashion magazine industry.

"Well, got it, let it go."

As if she had long been accustomed to such invitations, Yang Xuehua casually pointed to a table full of letters next to her, and then lowered her head and began to look through the thick pile of manuscripts that her editors had submitted earlier.

As one of the earliest fashion magazines established in China, Ruili Magazine, which takes print media and online media as its core business, has two major fashion magazines, "Ruili Clothing" and "Ruili Yiren", which rank first and second in circulation in the country; It has the largest vertical portal for female surnames in China - Ruili Women's Surname Network; It also has the largest circulation and the richest variety of fashion books in China, Ruili **ook and the largest fashion media customer database in China.

Therefore, every day, letters and invitations from all over the world are delivered to the editor-in-chief Yang Xuehua by email or paper letters, which she has long been accustomed to.

The content of these letters or invitations is nothing more than a few things, or a request to cooperate with Ruili to carry out an event, or some stores or brands hope that this magazine can report on their activities and improve their mainstream in the fashion circle...

For this kind of communication and new construction from peers or fashion lovers that he receives every day, Yang Xuehua has always had time to glance at it, and then throw it into the cabinet and ignore it.

Today, the letters alone filled three large cardboard boxes and were placed in the magazine's reference room, covered with several layers of dust.

If it is not a special customer, or the target that his magazine is actively looking for, Yang Xuehua will basically ignore it directly, after all, he is taking the high-end mainstream route, and if he always cooperates with unknown brands, then it will undoubtedly lower Ruili's own fashion status and image in the circle.

"The customer who sent us the invitation letter this time seems to be quite unusual, would you like to take a look at it first?"

Seeing that the editor-in-chief Yang Xuehua didn't seem to care much about this invitation, the person in charge of the marketing department of the magazine, who was in charge of external communications, reminded, "It was sent from Phantom Bow Clothing, as if we were going to hold an exhibition and invite us to interview and observe." ”

"Phantom Bow? Which Phantom Bow? ”

Hearing this, Yang Xuehua took his eyes off the manuscript on the table and raised his head to ask.

"Phantom bow camouflage, is the private clothing company that has bought OEM factories and is said to have tailored 14 new military uniforms for the PLA, and they seem to be planning to hold a fashion show in the suburbs of a small county in Sichuan Province."

The person in charge explained on the side.

"Aren't they making sportswear? Why do you still have to do a fashion show? Or in such a remote place? ”

In this regard, Yang Xuehua couldn't help but be a little curious.

Naturally, she had heard of the phantom bow camouflage, and when the local up-and-coming clothing company launched a series of new clothing, she was also amazed by the company's design team.

Especially when this company forced Mizuno and other companies out of the Chinese market with an unstoppable momentum, and equaled international first-line brands such as Nike in terms of turnover, she was even more shocked.

It's just that I didn't expect that the other party would suddenly make such a big stride and directly enter the fashion industry, planning to eat all the industries in the high, medium and low.

"I don't know much about this, anyway, they just emailed some photos, and then sent someone to send this invitation."

"I see, then you can forward the email from them to my work mailbox as well."

After taking the invitation from the other party, opening it and taking a closer look, Yang Xuehua immediately spoke.

"It's been sent to your mailbox."

Obviously, he knew the editor-in-chief's surname very well, and the other party immediately responded.

Then Yang Xuehua held the mouse in his hand, clicked on the webpage, and opened his e-mail to check it.

Sure enough, a letter from the "AACC Propaganda Department" was already lying quietly in his mailbox.

In this letter, there is also a compressed attachment called "Sample", which after downloading and unzipping, it is impressively more than a dozen photos of models.

With the click and swipe of the mouse to view these pictures, Yang Xuehua's originally serious expression gradually became surprised, "These are all fashion works designed by themselves?" ”

"According to the invitation, it should be their summer fashion clothes, which is only a small part, in addition to dozens of other new products will be released at the fashion show."

Seeing Yang Xuehua's expression, the marketing staff who had obviously read the content of the letter should be kind.

"These people are horrible..."

After getting confirmed, Yang Xuehua let go of the mouse and leaned back in his chair, "How do you feel that they specifically pick things that others can never imagine?!" ”

In her opinion, the clothes are just fabrics with holes, smeared with different patterns and colors, and it is these steps and colors with holes, but they continue to evolve with the progress of human society, although no one will know what will be popular in a few years, but it can be controlled by some means to control the direction of this fashion.

But after seeing these products in front of him, Yang Xuehua, who thought that he had already understood the inner essence of fashion and trends, suddenly found that his understanding and imagination were still too restrained.

Faced with the color and design in the photo, which almost challenged the aesthetic limit of the human eye, Yang Xuehua even felt as if there were countless ants crawling on him, and goosebumps rose layer after layer.

However, the only word that can come to her mind now is not "surprised" or "shocked", but actually an idiom, "Ku Ding Xie Niu"

――If you don't know the limits of art, beauty, and the human eye, you wouldn't be able to believe that there is such a thing as "perfect" in fashion!

"That's... When is their fashion show? ”

It seemed that his eyes still couldn't take his eyes off the photos on the screen, and Yang Xuehua asked as he continued to look at the photos.

"On the first day of June, a week later."

Although Yang Xuehua had a clear description of the invitation letter in hand, the person in charge of the marketing department who saw her surprised expression still told it in person.

"In this way, you immediately write back to them and tell them that when the time comes, our magazine will send an on-site interview team headed by the editor-in-chief, and ask them to help reserve a better seat."

Then Yang Xuehua said this arrangement almost without thinking.

"Uh... Do you need to be so excited? ”

This time, it was the turn of the person in charge of the marketing department to be surprised, he did not expect that the editor-in-chief, who is busy every day, would personally lead the team to such a remote place to participate in the fashion show held by a sports brand.

His original intention was just to remind the other party that the identity of the sender of this invitation letter was relatively special, and he did not intend to let the other party pay attention to this extent, after all, the daily operation of the magazine is inseparable from the command of the editor-in-chief.

"Just do as I say, and I will personally report to my superiors for instructions when I go back."

After reluctantly closing these photos, Yang Xuehua affirmed in a tone, "If their other works can have even half of these works, then this show will never be inferior to the Paris and Milan fashion shows!" If you miss this opportunity, then our "Ruili" will really be laughed at! ”

"Well... I'll deal with it..."

I didn't expect the editor-in-chief to make such a high evaluation of this exhibition with a few photos, and the person in charge of the marketing department immediately agreed and hurried out.

"Phantom Bow Camouflage..."

After sending off the person in charge of the marketing department, Yang Xuehua's mind was still difficult to calm down.

At this time, after reading the clothes just now, and then looking back and continuing to look down at the manuscripts with the new clothes in his hand, Yang Xuehua only felt as if he had just experienced the trendy new products, and re-faced the products of ten or twenty years ago, and could no longer return to the working state at the beginning.

Even if the clothes in these photos are new to the season from an international designer.

"What is this..."

Looking at the clothes photos on the desktop that were vastly different from the works he had just seen, Yang Xuehua shook his head, and could only continue to approve the pile of manuscripts at hand.

Unexpectedly, in just a few minutes, his already vicious gaze was raised, and as the editor-in-chief, Yang Xuehua didn't know whether he should be happy or worried.

In fact, not only Yang Xuehua, but also most of the provinces in China, including Sichuan Province and Bac Ha Province, the base camp of AACC, many media magazines in the fashion industry or entertainment industry, as well as some well-known entertainment programs on TV stations, almost all received such an invitation letter from AACC.

However, depending on the person invited, the content of the invitation letter will be different.

The largest invitee, the entertainment media from all over the world, received an invitation letter from Phantom Technology, showing the other party the effect of the film and television base that has begun to take shape and the shooting dynamics of "Fog Man", as well as the concert invitation of the two leading Hua Dan under Bluegrass Media

Magazines related to food were invited to experience the newly established theme restaurant in the production area of Yao Xiang Manju Catering

Television stations or publications related to current affairs news received invitations to the inauguration ceremony of AACC's first theme park

As well as various invitations to clothing, architecture and even agriculture received by Ruili magazine, where Yang Xuehua works, were all sent out by AACC.

Li Mo's move is also to use such comprehensive publicity to raise his arms and shout for his first film and television theme park.

Those who received these invitations, whether they were individual executives or enterprises, also sent back their respective replies as soon as possible, that is, there was no doubt about their support.

Even if there is no reason listed in the invitation letter, but only an invitation from AACC, most of these media will not hesitate to report it.

Today's AACC is no longer a simple private enterprise, but a national industry that entrusts the hope and pride of the Chinese people from all aspects.

In the evening, the production area of Sichuan Province is shrouded in twilight

After nearly two months of renovation, this suburb, which was originally a low hill except for farmland, has been covered with various buildings with unique styles.

Among them, there are not only the original animation base of Lancao Media that has been expanded and renovated, but also a light and shadow amusement city with the steel body of "Welcome Special Effects Studio" as the core, as well as an open-air sports field.

Among them, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the light and shadow paradise with several famous characters from AACC's current anime works.

According to the ready-made materials in the plane culture package, with the help of Ada's strong construction strength, coupled with the purchase of some ready-made goods, at this time, this theme amusement park established with special effects studios and integrating film and television shooting and play, not only has physical buildings that are different from any traditional characteristic style, but also has many improved versions of amusement facilities beyond imagination.

The most important feature of these amusement facilities is that they "trick" the eyes and senses to achieve the purpose of entertainment that is unique in the world.

From the most ordinary slides to simulated interstellar play with a hill as a backdrop, from the game version of stealing vegetables to a real farming and earning game, from video game shooter to surreal war game... Coupled with the ubiquitous food and drink, it can be said that it satisfies the favorite pastime of almost every caster.

Due to various reasons such as financial resources, construction time, and theme content, there are no thrilling attractions such as Ferris wheels or roller coasters that you can see in traditional amusement parks, but in terms of experience, they are not inferior to other theme parks.

And it is precisely because there is no such noisy facility that it is not only a fully functional playground, but also a new residential area suitable for people to relax and rest.

According to the current scale of the entire park, it is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time.

"All departments ready, three, two, one, start!"

"Click!"

As the sky gradually darkened, a team of personnel was gathering on the third floor of the Phantom Special Effects Studio at the moment, busy with something through equipment and walkie-talkies.

After some preparation, the head of the special effects team, Hai Ming, solemnly pressed the red button on a device in front of him.

Standing in front of a temporarily opened electronic window, Li Mo quietly watched the scene outside.

Through this electronic window, he can smoothly take in the entire scene of the newly developed film and television base park.

Today, this special effects studio not only undertakes the shooting tasks of the crew, but also controls all the lighting and shadow equipment of the entire park.

It can be said that this is the brain center of this new type of paradise created by Li Mo.

As the people inside the house counted down, all the street lights needed to provide lighting outside were suddenly extinguished, and the entire park instantly entered a state of darkness, which made the lights of several surrounding villages shine in a few corners.

After a flicker, the theme park, which had been pitch black, suddenly shines again and becomes brightly lit.

Twinkling street lights, mirage-like light and shadow parks, unique buildings full of shock... Countless glorious moments set off the entire remote suburb like a futuristic city stationed on an alien planet.

"Oh~"

After seeing the scenery outside through the monitor, these technicians standing behind Li Mo couldn't help but be amazed, only to feel that the scene in front of them was indescribably beautiful, as if they had only seen it in the science fiction world, and it was even several times more beautiful than those ideas.

"This is where we are, this is the shooting range, here is the orchard, this is the main road, the parking lot..."

Everyone is scrambling to find the various locations in the park.

As one of the first staff to move in, one of their perks is to have early access to these playgrounds and facilities.

"**oss, look, this is our entrance!"

The screen then cuts to the entrance to the entire base.

Between the two tower-like buildings, like floating hot air balloons, hang a few dangling camouflage words, "Phantom Manor".

The tower-like majestic building and the fantastic light and shadow technology make the whole entrance give people a particularly ethereal and shocking feeling, as if stepping into this place, you will step into a new future world.

The name "Phantom Manor" is the new code name of this production area that gathers film and television bases, animation bases and theme parks, and the origin of the name is the Phantom Technology stationed here as the main selling point.

"It's finally taking shape."

Thinking of the many difficult journeys experienced in order to build this comprehensive park, Li Mo couldn't help but sigh in his heart. (To be continued.) )
