Chapter 449: Crowdfunding and Sending ...... No, bells
During this time, the Dongcheng Bell and Drum Tower renovation project team was simply anxious.
After Gu Xiaobai's design drawings were exposed, all kinds of spearheads on the Internet pointed to the project team, and they also sneered at Dongcheng by the way.
All of a sudden, public opinion was surging.
This kind of thing made Dongcheng Mayor Wang Lian Fang have a headache.
The Dongcheng Bell and Drum Tower project is a project that he has been working hard to promote, and he has a deep relationship and history with the Dongcheng Bell and Drum Tower, and he really doesn't want this project to be destroyed by public opinion, or it will die abruptly.
There was no way, so he called the phone again to the desk of Wu Quandong, the president of Dongyuan University.
Picking up the phone, Wu Quandong complained: "Lao Wang, what are you doing in this project team! I knew that this would be the case, I would never introduce Xiaobai to you!"
Obviously, he introduced the most powerful and best acoustic talent on his side, but he was made into this appearance, Wu Quandong's heart hurts.
My little white, it's too late to protect it! You still treat him like this!
Wang Lianfang also took a loss, it is normal for projects to come and go, and if you fail to pass a review, then change and re-review, submit two or three times, Party A and Party B are constantly balancing between supply and demand, isn't this normal?
How did you make such a big news? Wang Lianfang was also angry.
"I also learned later that an expert who participated in the review had a holiday with Xiaobai and failed to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the review, which is our problem...... Wang Lianfang sighed, "But...... The project itself is innocent......"
But how did things get so hot?
"Now that the work on our side is almost out of work, do you think you can let Xiaobai come out and say something?"
When Wu Quandong heard this, he was a little unhappy.
You are innocent, my little white has an aunt? third aunt or sixth aunt?
"Your work can't be carried out, we can do it? Have you ever thought that the first time Xiaobai engaged in a project, you poked out such a big basket, who will dare to find Xiaobai to do a project in the future? We Xiaobai should be a big powder keg? Now that something is wrong, let Xiaobai take the blame?"
"This ...... I know it's a bit excessive, but it's also for the sake of the bigger picture......"
"Heh, take into account the overall situation? Your broken bell and drum tower is the overall situation, and the reputation of a rising young scholar in our Dongyuan University is not the overall situation? Wu Quandong was even more unhappy, he hung up the phone with a snap.
Wu Quandong is not such a fierce and excited person on weekdays, but this incident really makes Wu Quandong angry.
There are not 100 bell and drum towers in the world, but there are 80, which city does not have a bell and drum tower?
The bell and drum tower in your Dongcheng is important, but a genius who has been rare in our Dongyuan University for decades is not important?
Sorry, we don't take the pot.
Suffer the bitter fruit of your own making.
Wang Lianfang didn't call again, and in the afternoon, the Dongcheng Bell and Drum Tower project team issued an apology announcement.
"Because the staff review is not strict, some of the audit experts hired by the project team have made unprofessional, non-objective and irresponsible comments, which has caused great damage to the reputation of the 'Gu Xiaobai Institute of Acoustics' of Dongyuan University and the young scholar Gu Xiaobai himself, and the project team hereby apologizes, and the project team will restart the project review process within one month and re-review the ...... of the plan."
This announcement is actually quite interesting, and it almost said directly: "This basket was stabbed by some scum in the academic circle, and our project team doesn't carry this pot!"
In fact, they should have done this a long time ago, but they didn't expect that this public opinion came too quickly, too turbulently, and the reaction was half a beat slower.
After this announcement was issued, Wang Lianfang called Wu Quandong again, looking a little pitiful: "Old Wu, do you think this is okay?"
Wu Quandong sighed and said, "Okay, then I'll give Xiaobai a call." ”
The day after the project team issued an apology, Baisheng also issued an announcement.
"Baisheng respects the needs of the project team and the expert review, and also cherishes this opportunity for cooperation, we have had friendly consultations and more in-depth exchanges with the project team, and have submitted the B plan ...... to the project team."
Below, a sketch of Plan B is also published.
A bell decorated with inscriptions praising the outstanding people of Dongcheng, and several ordinary drums......
Unpretentious, unpretentious and decent, it is boring.
In fact, if Gu Xiaobai had come up with this plan at the beginning, everyone would not have said anything.
But now that everyone has seen the plan of the "Lyre of Bells and Drums", come back to this one......
I've got my pants off, and you're letting me see this?
Phew!
Lao Tzu doesn't do it! Lao Tzu wants the harp of bells and drums!
Not to mention passers-by and netizens, even the people in the project team looked at this design plan that completely met their expectations, and they were a little uncomfortable.
If the risk of plan A can be smaller, if the investment of plan A can be less, if ......
Unfortunately, there are no if in this world.
There is a lot of mourning on the Internet, is this masterpiece of "Bells and Drums" just stillborn?
It's a pity......
What a pity......
"Let's crowdfund!"
"Yes, crowdfunding giveaway...... No, bells!"
"We want the Lyre of Bells and Drums!"
"Make your own and have fun!"
"How can you not make such an interesting thing!"
A huge campaign to "save the piano of bells and drums" was launched on the Internet, and many fans called for Gu Xiaobai to engage in crowdfunding......
But there are many others who pour cold water.
"Crowdfunding? This is not a matter of millions, or even tens of millions, this thing is hundreds of millions! Crowdfunding until the Year of the Monkey! You pay for it?"
"Do you really think this thing can be made? It's just a prop that Gu Xiaobai brought to the fans, if this kind of thing can really be made, I will eat Xiang live ......"
In the midst of such a hustle and bustle, a crowdfunding project called "Bell and Drum Piano" was quietly launched on JD.com and Taobao crowdfunding.
On Jingdong crowdfunding, it is a return-based crowdfunding, the crowdfunding price is 50 million, divided into several different files, after purchasing, you can get Gu Xiaobai postcard, handbag of bell and drum qin design drawing, bell and drum qin miniature model, bell and drum qin performance experience coupon......
On Taobao crowdfunding, it is a donation crowdfunding, the crowdfunding price is 30 million, the donation amount varies, and all donations will be used to make the bell and drum harp, as well as as as follow-up maintenance costs......
In fact, Gu Xiaobai didn't expect to crowdfund much money, and he had already found other ways.
But if he really wants to take out this bell and drum harp, he can't conjure it out of thin air, so crowdfunding can be regarded as a way to hide people's ears.
Sister Shan, as Gu Xiaobai's spokesperson, came forward to announce the news.
At the same time, Gu Xiaobai has begun to contact domestic mechanical design manufacturers for advanced mechanical design and manufacturing.
After Fu Wenyao's matchmaking, they preliminarily settled on a mechanical design and manufacturing company under the Dening Group.
And now, Gu Xiaobai has one more thing to worry about.
Whether it is the Spring and Autumn Period or the Western Han Dynasty, there is no technical reserve and environment for casting super-large round bronze bells, nor does it have such manpower and material resources.
What to do with the twelve prototype bronze bells cast as bass instruments in the Lyre of Bells and Drums?
On this day, Gu Xiaobai finished his day's work, closed his eyes again, and came to the memory palace, where he saw a glittering CD suspended there.
"Do you want to start the trial of "Parting Fu"?"
