Chapter Seventy-Seven: Merchandise
The next day was a rest day, Li Chen got up early in the morning, and then woke up the children one by one, "Uncle, what's the matter so early." In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and now it is not yet light, and several children are so sleepy-eyed that they are called out of the room.
'Start running. Li Chen woke up the thirsty children early in the morning, not because they were bored, but because he wanted to take them for a morning run, just like Li Chen did every day. Several children, under the eaves, had to bow their heads, and reluctantly began to run in the morning under the coercion of Li Chen.
Running was something they didn't get a few days ago, and Li Chen didn't plan to let them run. But it occurred to him that he also needed to let his children take physical education classes.
What?! Make no mistake, gym class? Nowadays, children need physical education classes, and they need to be more active so that they don't have to sit in front of desks and computer desks all the time.
But the Tang Dynasty didn't need it, and the children of the Tang Dynasty didn't even have a chance to sit in front of the desk. And Xiaohu has the opportunity to go to the desk, but if there is a class, they will go out to play crazy, so why do they need any physical education class. However, Li Chen thought about it for a long time and still added physical education to the curriculum.
Very simply, physical education is not only for students to move, although in many schools, physical education is to let students play in the playground by themselves, but modern physical education classes will also teach some different kinds of sports, so that children can understand more.
Li Chen plans to do the same. There weren't many sports activities in the Tang Dynasty, which was Li Chen's observation. It is not said that there is no such thing as nothing, and some of them are still rare in later generations, such as hunting, polo, etc., but in any case, the sports activities of the Tang Dynasty were probably accessible to some upper-class people.
The lower class people, some civilians, seem to have very little activity, of course, people may not need to be active, they are working every day, they can be lazy for a day, who is so free to play sports.
However, Li Chen still feels that it is necessary to promote civilian sports activities. What is civilian sports activity? The sports activities of the Tang Dynasty are best known to everyone as polo. And then hunting. Otherwise, dancing, singing is famous, or archery.
Are there any other activities? It seems like very little. Do you say that pitching, horn fighting, sumo wrestling, etc. are counted? It should not be counted, since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, such activities have degenerated into similar performances.
Li Chen's civilian sports are based on the hope that civilians can participate, and when everyone has nothing to do, they can find various places to play and generally carry it out.
Foods like polo and hunting were not destined to be popular among the common people. Dance? Stepping on the song is not happy to step on every day, often stepping.
As for the others, martial arts, archery, etc., unless there is this, there are very few. The Tang people said that they paid equal attention to civil and military affairs, and they were equipped with swords. But after Li Chen arrived, he found that there were fewer people doing this, and they seemed to be biased towards the style of writing and did not practice martial arts.
However, I heard that it seemed to be a land of Hebei that had been seized by a feudal town, and the scholars paid more attention to martial arts. There is also the legacy of the Tang Dynasty, which pays attention to both civil and military.
Fei said too much, Li Chen plans to use physical education classes to teach some future civilian sports, including football, volleyball, baseball, etc., which can be played immediately and handed over to these children. I hope that in the future, through these children, various sports activities can be spread.
In addition, Li Chen's abacus hopes that through such activities, more people can learn the importance of teamwork. To put it simply, see if you can show the importance of collaboration through physical activities. We'll talk about that later.
'The original text, the clothes, the promotion of the country, the Tao Tang... After running, breakfast, and class. The content on it is still a thousand-word text.
I really want to read a thousand-character essay, and it won't take long to read it, but if you want to learn words, it's not so fast. What's more, Li Chen explained the meaning of Qi Zhong while leading them to read it, and the progress was even slower.
After finishing class in the morning and having lunch at noon, Li Chen gave them half a day off and let them go to play by themselves in the afternoon, "I am not allowed to bring anyone back." Before going out, Li Chen said solemnly, "Whoever is bringing people back, I'll kick him out, think for yourself." ’
Xiaohu went out with a few children, Ah Xiang and Datou stayed, and then, Xiaohong came. Of course, it's still very arrogant, and it's clear that the child is half out, but he still says that he wants to see the child. As usual last time, he began to prepare for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms pattern, and Li Chen also did not let it be cut.
After a busy afternoon, Xiaohong rubbed her sore wrist and left, and Li Chen also rolled up the paper with the ink so dry, "I'll go out for a while." I have given the money to Xiaohu, they will bring dinner back, it is too late to come back, don't wait for me, you eat first. ’
After confessing, Li Chen brought a large bundle of paper... It was the previous Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the uncut puppet pattern, plus some pictures, Li Chen rolled them into a cylinder, sandwiched them under his armpits, and went out.
'What is Uncle going to do?' At the door, Ah Xiang and the big boss sent Li Chen away, "Aren't those drawings cut yet." ''That's right.'' But...', the big head seemed to be suspicious, "Actually, those, not only the drawings used for puppet shows, but also other things." Thirteen seemed to be doing something. ’
'Will it be. Ah Xiang suddenly became excited, "Those are all gifts for Xiaohong?" Before moving out, Uncle seemed to say that he wanted to give gifts. "Probably not, those things were painted by Sister Xiaohong, and they were used as gifts, so it would be good if Xiaohong painted them herself?" "That's different, without thirteen to guide, Sister Xiaohong may not be able to draw." At this time, the big head suddenly turned pale, "Ah Xiang, do you think there will be someone you like in the thirteenth uncle?" Do you want to give those as gifts? ''Well..., probably not. Uncle seems to like Sister Xiaohong very much. ’
I don't know that the two little girls are talking about themselves behind their backs, Li Chen is looking for something in a house, 'Found it.' It should be here. Li Chen noticed a family, there were many well-cut square planks in the yard of this family, not only well-cut, but also about the same size and thickness.
'Excuse me, is there anything wrong with this Lang Jun?' ''Is it Master Zou?'' ''Decay is. ''Master Zou, my surname is Li.' Today, I came to Master Zou and wanted to ask Master to help carve the plates. ’
'Engraving? Master Zou looked at Li Chen suspiciously, "May I ask which temple is going to use it?" "Oh, it's not a temple, it's a contemptible person to use. ’
Li Chen didn't rush to cut the patterns of those puppets of the Three Kingdoms after drawing them, he just waited for someone to come and carve them and print them.
'It's so expensive. Although it is strange why someone needs engraving, Master Zou still introduces his own business. Engraving is expensive...
According to different materials, different grades of wood planks, the price is also different. The difference is that the good wooden board can be printed many times or kept for a long time. The so-called copyright means that this engraving has the right, at least Li Chen thinks so.
If I'm going to use these pictures, I'm going to have to pay a lot of money. Li Chen finally chose the cheapest wood, and Master Zou calculated it, a total of more than a dozen patterns, and reported a number that made Li Chen vomit blood.
(I miscalculated, I didn't expect it to be so expensive.) Li Chen secretly thought to himself, how to print. The puppet has to be used for a limited time, and the paper will be damaged, that is, he has to prepare a few copies of the puppet, otherwise the commonly used puppet will be scrapped, which will affect the business.
I didn't think about it so much at first, Journey to the West remembered a few main characters, all of which were drawn, and then in order to ensure that there would be no damage or loss, resulting in the puppet show not being staged, a lot of copies were prepared in the way of depiction.
When the Three Kingdoms began, it was time to prepare the characters, and Li Chen got inspiration from the peasant calendar. At this time, Li Chen had a little spare money in his hands, so he decided to use the printed one. With engraving printing, many copies of the puppet pattern were printed.
Isn't that redundant? Take off your pants and fart, you can just use the drawing to get it. However, compared to printing, the depiction is slower, and as soon as the printing continues, hundreds of copies will come out.
Even if it were, there was no need to print it. Can you use hundreds of copies? Even if you want to think about expanding in groups, you don't need it. Anyway, you have cheap labor, so wouldn't it be nice to let the kids get their homework in art class?
Li Chen actually has a more far-reaching plan, he plans to sell posters..., to put it simply, he plans to print hundreds of copies at a time, a small part of which is kept as a backup, and the rest has to be used as peripheral goods and sold at a high price.
In the 21st century, special effects movies are in charge. Each special effects movie costs a lot of money, and it is really difficult to earn back the cost by relying on the box office. Don't look at the global box office, hundreds of millions, but in fact, the filmmakers in general don't get half of it.
What do filmmakers rely on to make money? Isn't it close to the periphery? Peripherals such as DVDs, or TV broadcast rights, these are all peripherals, in addition to a variety of special goods, film companies rely on this to get back and forth. Li Chen plans to do the same, he plans to make these puppets like posters, and then sell them at a high price.
Some classic scenes, such as the three battles against Lu Bu, the burning of Chibi or something, make it into a poster, so that readers can buy it back and reminisce. This is Li Chende's plan, how much can he earn just by talking about that little reward?
"Master, I'll just print these few sheets. Please help me figure out how much it is. Li Chen pondered for a long time, and finally had to compromise, the engraving was so expensive, and he didn't have enough money in his hand. He took it for granted, in the 21st century, he could print these few things casually, but now it is the Tang Dynasty. So he could only grit his teeth and pull out a few of the main ones, as the main commodity, and the others could only endure the pain and give up for the time being.
(If you really want to sell the poster, you have to recalculate...) At the beginning, I wanted to take care of both of them, touch the clam and wash the pants, really
It's taken for granted. )
