Xu Hongdou finally agreed to Xie Zhiyao and helped him complete the Yunmiao Village promotional video.
The reason why she agreed was not because of Xie Zhiyao's face, but because she liked Yunmiao Village too much.
Although I have only stayed for a few days, Xu Hongdou has already fallen deeply in love with this quiet and beautiful mountain village, and even hopes that more people will like it.
Xu Hongdou also sees the current predicament of Yunmiao Village.
Low visibility, remoteness, few tourism projects, and too weak cultural heritage have prevented Yunmiao Village from developing.
If Yunmiao Village continues to be self-sufficient and self-sufficient in farming, sooner or later it will be submerged in the tide of the times.
During the few days Xu Hongdou stayed there, she also discovered that Yunmiao Village was trying to change, and the person who changed it was Xie Zhiyao.
This college student who left the village returned to his hometown after working hard in the big city for several years, bringing enthusiasm and funds to try to change the village.
The cafe, racecourse, and even the windy courtyard are all Xie Zhiyao's handiwork.
He hopes to provide a series of jobs so that the villagers can get rich together. He also hopes that those children who go out to work can return to their hometowns to start businesses and make Yunmiao Village better and better.
It was after hearing Xie Zhiyao's entrepreneurial purpose that Xu Hongdou agreed to his request and helped him create a promotional video.
She even put forward some of her own opinions in the promotional video, mostly from the perspective of a tourist, pointing out the most attractive places in Yunmiao Village, and asked Xie Zhiyao to focus on promoting them.
"I think Yunmiao Village's tie-dyeing, wood carving art, and even embroidery are good publicity points. On the contrary, the natural scenery can dilute the publicity."
Xu Hongdou sat in the small courtyard of Xie's house and discussed with Xie Zhiyao. Wang Gang and Xie Xiaochun sat on one side.
"That's exactly what I meant." Xie Zhiyao nodded and said, "It's just that Master Xie is really insecure and unwilling to stand up and show his face?"
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "You don't have to thank Master for stepping forward, Xia Xia can actually do it too."
"How can Xia Xia's level represent the wood carving art of Yunmiao Village?" Xie Xiaochun was the first to object.
Xie Xiaochun still knew a little about his younger brother's abilities.
"Don't underestimate Xia Xia too much. Isn't he very good at live broadcasting?" Xu Hongdou stood on Wang Gang's side.
"And when it comes to publicity, don't think about it too complicated. Xia Xia just shows up in the promotional video, not to represent Yunmiao Village. The focus is still on thanking Master, but he doesn't need to show his face." Wang Gang suggested:
"We can combine it with current streaming media platforms to launch a mysterious wood carving master project. The more mysterious things are, the more interested netizens will be."
Xu Hongdou's eyes lit up and he said: "Yes, I see that many anchors wearing masks on Douyin can actually attract traffic. This is called a packaging gimmick."
Xie Zhiyao said cautiously: "I don't have that much publicity money."
Wang Gang suggested: "Let Xia Xia try posting some videos on Douyin first to see the effect. The main thing is to make up some jokes to attract traffic, not just live broadcast sculptures."
When Xie Xiaochun heard this, she thought it was reliable. Although she didn't read Douyin often, she knew the traffic of internet celebrities nowadays.
It might be a good idea to let Xie Xiaoxia try it.
First of all, Xie Xiaoxia has been a little depressed since she was defrauded of money. It might be helpful to do something better.
Secondly, Xie Xiaochun felt more at ease since he didn't have to leave Yunmiao Village to do the live broadcast. His younger brother was right in front of him.
"But who in our village can write jokes?" Xie Zhiyao asked his question.
Wang Gang said: "You can first let Xia Xia imitate other people's jokes, lay a good traffic foundation, and then try to add new things."
Xie Zhiyao lowered his head, thinking about the feasibility.
Xu Hongdou added: "When Xia Xia makes short videos, she always focuses on promoting traditional culture and comparing new things with tradition, which may have unexpected effects."
After brainstorming, Yunmiao Village's publicity plan slowly figured out the context. The smile on Xie Zhiyao's face grew more and more. He couldn't help but look at Xu Hongdou and asked:
"Hongdou, since you like Yunmiao Village so much and have experience in big hotel management, have you ever thought about coming to our place to set up a B&B?"
Xu Hongdou was stunned, probably not expecting Xie Zhiyao to ask such a question.
"I don't have the money to run a B&B," Xu Hongdou subconsciously refused.
Xie Zhiyao said hurriedly: "Actually, it doesn't cost much to build a B&B in our village. The rent of our house is cheap, and I can get a loan. You only need to invest a small part."
Wang Gang saw Xie Zhiyao trying so hard to deceive Xu Hongdou, and suddenly realized that he was not trying to attract investment for Yunmiao Village, but wanted to keep Xu Hongdou.
Wang Gang had mentioned to Xie Zhiyao before that the problem between him and Xu Hongdou was that the gap between their life circles was too big. One was in the capital and the other was in Yunnan. If they wanted to be together, one of them would have to sacrifice.
Xie Zhiyao thought about it for a few days and thought that he had too many responsibilities for Yunmiao Village and could not leave, so he could only let Xu Hongdou stay.
That's why he wanted to trick Xu Hongdou into setting up a B&B in Yunmiao Village and settling down there. The two of them would have many opportunities to meet each other in the future.
Xie Zhiyao's little thought was not only noticed by Wang Gang, but also by Xie Xiaochun.
However, Xie Xiaochun glanced around at the faces of Xu Hongdou, Wang Gang and Xie Zhiyao, and couldn't help but secretly shake his head.
"I came to Yunmiao Village for vacation and relaxation. I never thought about starting a business. I will still leave in three months." Xu Hongdou also glanced at Wang Gang, and then said to Xie Zhiyao.
"Don't leave! Our Yunmiao Village is so nice, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and outstanding people. The future development prospects are good. It's a good time for you to start a business." Xie Zhiyao said urgently.
Xu Hongdou couldn't laugh or cry and said: "I have worked hard in the capital for ten years and finally achieved some results. I don't want to give up just like that."
Xie Zhiyao paused after hearing the words, and couldn't help but think of Wang Gang's words that night, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Xie Xiaochun smoothed things over and said, "Ayao, why are you always staring at Hongdou? Isn't there a rich man ready in front of you?"
Xie Zhiyao was stunned and followed Xie Xiaochun's gaze. Wang Gang was drinking tea with the old man in his cup.
"Brother Wang, are you interested in investing in Yunmiao Village tourism?" Xie Zhiyao asked tentatively.
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "I do have a little money, but I am just a simple painter and have no interest in doing business."
After having been in business for several lifetimes, Wang Gang has long been tired of it. He just wants to relax a little in this life, paint some small paintings, make some money, and travel when he has nothing to do. Isn't that nice?
Don’t bring depression out of him if he works hard to start a business!
Xie Xiaochun and Xie Zhiyao took turns to fight, but Wang Gang was unmoved, so the two had no choice but to give up.
When Wang Gang and Xu Hongdou walked back to the windy courtyard, Xu Hongdou suddenly asked.
"Brother Wang, when will you return to the capital?"
Wang Gang didn't even think about it: "I may go back in a few days to attend a friend's wedding and take care of work matters.
But will you be back soon?"
Xu Hongdou nodded and asked absently: "How long do you plan to live in Yunmiao Village?"
Wang Gang thought for a while and said: "My original plan was to stay here for half a year and then go to Europe."
"I really envy you. If you have money and time, you can go anywhere." Xu Hongdou was impressed by Wang Gang's attitude towards life.
"Actually, you can too." Wang Gang said, "It depends on how you view life."
Xu Hongdou shook his head and sighed: "The money I have is only enough for me to indulge in a few months. I still have to go back to the capital to work."
Wang Gang smiled and said: "It's not bad to work for a while, save some money, and then go out to play for a while, and start over and over again."
Xu Hongdou was so beautiful by the life described by Wang Gang, but unfortunately she finally returned to reality.
"It's okay to leave my job for a while. If I really want to work for a while and play for a while, I will have to beg for food sooner or later!"
Wang Gang said quietly: "On the streets of Rome, in a foreign country, you can pick up a guitar, sing wherever you go, perform on the streets, and be free, it's a different feeling."
Xu Hongdou was stunned. The scene described by Wang Gang might have appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but be fascinated.
"I don't have a voice like yours, Brother Wang, and I'm afraid no one will support me when I sing on the street. I'd better go back and be a social animal!" Xu Hongdou finally sighed deeply and faced the reality.
Wang Gang smiled and shook his head, without saying anything else. Everyone has their own way of life, and the life you want may not be suitable for others.
After parting ways with Wang Gang, Xu Hongdou returned to his room and took out Chen Nanxing's photo.
"Nan Xing, if it were you, would you live the kind of life Brother Wang mentioned without hesitation?"
Chen Nanxing is smiling like a flower in the photo, but he can't answer Xu Hongdou's questions.
After Xu Hongdou came to Yunmiao Village, she seemed to have become accustomed to talking to Chen Nanxing through the air.
She kept talking for more than ten minutes and didn't stop until the phone rang.
Xu Hongdou picked up the phone and looked at it, and found that it was her sister Xu Hongmi calling!
"Hey, sister, why do you have time to call me? Aren't you busy at work?"
"Xu Hongdou, I heard that you are in love?"
Sister Xu Hongmi’s words broke Xu Hongdou’s guard!
