In an office building in a bustling city.
Even though it was already 11 o'clock in the evening and the residential area was quiet, the office buildings here were still brightly lit and most people were busy.
On a certain floor, a team of store explorers.
The anchor had just returned with his team and sat down at his workstation when his cell phone rang.
When the host saw the caller ID, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
"Feng Chi?"
He had worked with Fengchi before, but they were not very familiar with each other, but he had heard a lot of news about it.
There were all kinds of guesses in my mind, but the moment the call was connected, the expression on his face instantly switched to business mode, warm and friendly, and the emotion in his voice was just right and impeccable:
"Achi? How come you have time to call me? I heard that you are very busy recently and went to an island to record a show? Is there something good going on?"
It was just a casual remark, but when the host heard what the person on the other end of the phone said, his expression suddenly changed.
"who?!"
He jumped up from the lounge chair, looked around, and walked to the corner, where it was quieter:
"… I have time, I have time! Okay, I'll definitely go then… Hey, Brother Chi, don't worry, we've worked closely together before, you know the reputation of our studio…"
When the call ended, he clenched his fists and his face flushed.
Take a deep breath, calm down, and walk back.
Seeing this, someone asked, "Have you received new orders for store visits? Are you doing catering or accommodation? What marketing package do you want to order? What's the price? Do you need to adjust the time? We are very busy these days."
The anchor said excitedly: "It's an invitation to the opening ceremony of a private collection museum!"
The reactions of the other team members were not indifferent, but they were also indifferent.
"What is the collection? What's the scale? Is there a breaking point?" someone asked.
"It's a collection of animal models. The scale... should be pretty good. I haven't seen it, so I don't know how many things there are, but it must be a big place!" the anchor said affirmatively.
“No matter how big the place is, if there is no explosive point or content, it is useless. Whose collection is it?”
"Feng Yi!"
"Who is Feng Yi... Feng Yi?!"
People in the office who were editing videos, doing planning, and discussing business...all stared at me with burning eyes!
There was another person in the corner who had just laid down and was applying eye patches. He didn't care about the patch anymore and threw aside the thing that was blocking his vision. The pair of eyes that looked over, I don't know if they were caused by the eye patches, were exceptionally bright!
"Is it the Feng Yi who has been the hottest topic online recently?"
“This is a real money sponsor!”
"With Feng Yi's current popularity, even if this order doesn't pay, we'll go!"
"If it's Feng Yi's place, even if there are only two stones inside, it can still be used to create a lot of content!"
"When you go there, praise him! Praise him hard! That's not right either. We need to be skillful, enthusiastic but not flattering, and be able to show our sincerity enough! In short, even if he displays a few earthworm baits, you have to praise them to the fullest!"
"Wait a minute, was that a call from Feng Yi?" someone asked.
The anchor pulled up the call record: "Feng Chi, the guy who's doing variety shows in the entertainment industry right now, is Feng Yi's cousin, a second-generation rich... third-generation rich."
"Well, we still need to confirm with Feng Yi, so as not to be overjoyed."
While the team was calling an emergency meeting, Feng Chi contacted everyone on the list. He had no idea that someone was questioning his credibility. He put a check mark behind the last person's name on the list and left a message for Feng Yi.
After sending the message, Feng Chi looked over his upcoming work arrangements, made adjustments where necessary, and made sure he could attend the opening ceremony of the Feng Yi Collection.
Although the exact date has not been determined, Feng Yi gave a rough time range.
Pondering in his mind, Feng Chi flipped through one of his treasures—an elongated luminous gold-stamped ribbon dragon.
Although Feng Yi said he would invite a lion dance troupe, those activities were all during the day. What if there were other programs in the evening
You can bring it with you in the car to liven up the atmosphere.
"I can provide the atmosphere by myself!"
The next day.
Feng Yi forwarded a copy of the list given by Feng Chi to Xiao Yi. There was a team there that was specifically responsible for arranging the media and guests for the opening ceremony.
After breakfast, Feng Yi hurried to the collection hall.
The construction workers were indeed curious about the changes in the core area, which had been vacant before, but when they started work early this morning, they found that the area had been fenced off!
What does this mean
It means that the things have been put on display!
It's a pity that the baffle is too high and there is cloth covering the inside to prevent dust. Even if you stand on a ladder during construction, you can't see what's on the other side.
Construction inside the museum is still going on, and Feng Yi hurried over this morning not just to see the construction workers' reaction to the core area, he came here to wait for someone.
Steve left him a message.
Upon learning that Feng Yi's specimens and models were being brought into the museum one after another, Steve came over to take a look.
In this collection, there is a nearly six-meter-long Burmese python specimen that Steve fished out from the research center and gave to Feng Yi.
Today I came to check out the collection, and Steve also brought some relatively complete snake skins from the research center.
There are both big and small snakes, and each is kept in a special box with a transparent lid on top to show the snake shed. The box body is marked with which type of snake each shed corresponds to.
“They are all processed and can be preserved for a long time.”
Steve handed the snake specimen to Feng Yi.
Walking into the museum and looking at the interior layout, my eyes fell on the enclosed core area.
"What's in here?" Steve asked curiously.
"Well... it's an art statue." Feng Yi said calmly.
When he heard about art statues, Steve instantly lost interest and looked elsewhere.
Steve wanted to build a protection organization near Xiaofengshan. Feng Yi attended the groundbreaking ceremony, but the progress there was a little slower.
The standards for building a protection agency and building a collection are different. According to Steve’s high requirements, we have to apply to the higher-ups from time to time. If any item is stuck, the construction period will have to be postponed.
Compared with the construction of many private protection agencies, Steve's progress is already fast enough.
Just looking at Feng Yi's collection hall that was about to be completed, Steve couldn't help but show envy.
"Your place will be open soon, I'm so envious... Oh~~~ Titan Anaconda!!!"
Steve had only said half of his heartfelt sigh when he saw the "original block" not far from the core area. His sight, as if with a screening function, accurately found the "ancient snake" hidden among a pile of plants and rushed over quickly.
After approaching, Steve glanced at the giant snake and sighed:
"It's been retouched again, right? The details are handled very well!
"It looks different from the Titanoboa models I've seen in other museums before. However, since it is an extinct species, no one knows what it really looks like. The museum's model was only made with reference to the anaconda."
Steve looked up to face the huge, ferocious, and hideous snake face: "It's so beautiful!"
Feng Yi: “…”
Although I know Steve's personality, I still feel uncomfortable every time I hear this unique compliment.
After seeing the "Ancient Snake", Steve went to see other specimens and models. He was as excited as a young child who broke into an amusement park full of toys. He was so excited that he didn't want to leave.
Steve was called away because of something going on at the construction site, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to stay here any longer.
When he left, Steve was still thinking: If there is a chance, I can get a few more specimens from other places and send them to Feng Yi's collection hall. The collection here is still too small! Model making is too slow!
However, to be honest, it is indeed exquisitely made!
Over the next period of time, the remaining work on the collection hall will be completed.
Feng Yi did not stay in the museum all the time. Before all the projects in the museum were completed, he attended several meetings recommended by the Joint Guarantee Bureau, wrote reports and made presentations.
Every time Feng Yi goes out to participate in an event, people will ask him about his private collection.
The news that a private collection museum was about to open had already spread in certain circles, and those who had not received an invitation approached Feng Yi to inquire.
At a certain event, Feng Yi also met a reporter from the official media, who was also interested in his collection and hoped to attend the opening ceremony and report on it. After all, as an expert certified by the Joint Protection Bureau, Feng Yi has always been actively working on ecological protection, and if appropriate, he could make some publicity.
Feng Yi was in a dilemma about this.
"Of course I welcome you very much, but there's no need to report on it... Some of the collections inside... may not conform to mainstream aesthetics and are not suitable for you to report on." Feng Yi said to the reporter.
It’s fine if his prototype models and statues were exposed by self-media with a bit of entertainment nature, but the serious official media are not on the same track!
Not suitable!
If this were really reported by mainstream official media, even if others wouldn't be embarrassed, Feng Yi himself would feel extremely ashamed!
No matter what the reporter was thinking, he agreed in a very friendly manner and expressed respect for Feng Yi's "non-mainstream aesthetic".
Feng Yi sensed the other person's true emotions: "..."
This reporter seems to have too much inner life going on.
Apart from the time spent attending activities, organizing reports and writing summaries, Feng Yi would still take time to visit the collection hall.
As the information spread, more and more people knew about the upcoming opening. Feng Yi was a hot topic during this period, and many people were paying attention to him online. The upcoming opening ceremony also attracted much more attention than Feng Yi had originally expected.
Sometimes when Feng Yi takes time to go to the collection gallery, he can see people nearby taking pictures of the collection gallery with their mobile phones.
The address of the collection hall is no longer a secret, and more and more people are coming to check in.
When all the construction projects in the collection hall were completed and the cleaning was done, the opening time was also set.
The hired staff have completed training and are already on duty.
Two days before the opening ceremony, Feng Yi directed the museum staff to move the models out of the closed rooms and remove the baffles in the core area.
The staff, who had received rigorous training, had their expressions twisted for a moment when they saw those models.
Some wanted to laugh, some wanted to scream, but they had to hold it back and dared not make a sound.
The museum was so quiet that the only sound one could hear was the sound of objects being moved.
