Li Bo and others are still discussing the ending of "Sea Train". Some people are also interested in the sea train, clock, Gatling gun and telephone that appear in the film, but they only see their shapes but not their principles. The discussion is always superficial, and there is more admiration for new things.
Minister Chen sat for a few minutes, then found the small remote control under the armrest of the seat and pressed the notification bell.
The mini hall can host plays, and Minister Chen had discussed this with Hongyu earlier.
Hongyu told Lu Yao who was backstage that the new film would start showing as soon as the notification bell rang.
The screen lit up again, startling the people who were still discussing. Minister Chen said, "It's a rare opportunity, so I ordered another show."
Li Bo and others didn't expect that there was another movie to watch, and they were immediately very interested.
The scene shows the seaside again, but the characters this time are different from those in "Sea Train". Their clothing and appearance are more like those of the movie theater owner. This is "Searching for Deep Sea Behemoths".
When Chen Shangshu saw the trailer, he was so shocked that he was speechless. At that time, he actually wanted to watch this movie the most, but he had already agreed with Li Bo to watch "Sea Train" first.
This type of film is also new to Li Bo and others.
Perhaps out of professional instinct, the first ship they took a fancy to was the one used by the expedition team.
The person sitting to Li Bo's right was also a recorder. Seeing the white speedboat leaving a trail of waves on the sea, he couldn't help but say, "So that's it! Yesterday I went to Yuguizhai to buy mooncakes, and the store gave me a furry little object in the shape of this little white boat."
The expedition team's pursuit journey began, and the screening room became quiet again.

Hongyu reported that Manager Le of Chunxi Tower wanted to see Lu Yao, saying that he had something to discuss.
Lu Yao was backstage. He thought for a moment, then stood up and walked out: "Please ask him to come in."
Le Han followed Hongyu into the lounge and looked around calmly. It turned out that there was such a large space behind the curtain wall.
Lu Yao went to Chunxi Tower to drink tea several times and saw the young teahouse owner from afar, but they never had a conversation.
It's very busy outside today, and Hongyu can't spare the time to serve you.
Lu Yao asked her to get busy and called Ye Xiao in. He then stood up and prepared to make tea himself. He remembered that he was very hot after coming back from the lantern festival last night, so he made a large jar of fruit tea and put it in the refrigerator.
It's been frozen overnight, and it's just right to drink now.
She took out a glass teapot, put some fruit into the pot, filled it with tea, and put a plate of snacks on it.
Le Han had been observing Lu Yao. He saw her open a silver-white cabinet and take out tea and food, his eyes full of curiosity.
After the door of the cabinet was opened, a light seemed to light up automatically, and the things placed inside were all kinds of strange.
The tea that was served was clear in color at first, but soon a layer of water droplets formed on the surface of the teapot.
Le Han's eyes flickered slightly. Could it be that the cabinet was actually an ice cellar
Can you store ice by just placing it anywhere in the room
Lu Yao poured him some tea. "The fruit tea I made yesterday tastes different from Liang Jing's brewed tea. Shopkeeper Le, please try it."
Le Han picked up the teacup. The walls of the cup were icy cold. It was indeed herbal tea. A rich fruity aroma came to his nose before he even took a sip.
He lowered his head and took a sip. The slightly sour and cool fruit flavor was indeed accompanied by the fragrance of tea. The sweet fruit could blend so refreshingly with the tea. The taste was clear and sweet without a trace of astringency.
Le Han couldn't help but praise: "The tea tastes fresh and the fruity flavor is refreshing. It's great tea!"
After drinking tea and eating snacks, Le Han's eyes lit up again.
In his heart, he actually felt that if he drank too much fruit tea, it would become too sweet and not suitable to be paired with cakes.
But this plate of snacks has a crispy texture, light sweetness, and a strong wheat aroma when chewed, which just neutralizes the greasy taste of the fruit tea.
Lu Yao saw that it was almost done, so he asked, "What business does Manager Le have today?"
Le Han came back to his senses. He almost forgot about the business after eating and drinking. "Boss Lu, I also want to ask the cinema to help Chunxilou make a short film like the one for Yuguizhai, and play it on the glass screen outside."
When choosing to cooperate with Yuguizhai, Lu Yao had considered what might happen later, but she didn't expect that the first person to come to her would be Le Han.
"Do you want to advertise?" Lu Yao tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa.
Le Han felt inexplicably nervous. Was it because Chunxi Tower was not qualified
His teahouse business has always been good, especially after the emergence of the cinema, the business has been even more popular than before, but the foundation is indeed not as good as the century-old family shop.
"I noticed that Chunxilou has always been doing good business, with full houses at noon and in the afternoon. Why did Manager Le think of advertising?" Lu Yao was a little curious.
Le Han couldn't help but clench his hands hanging by his legs, "Of course I want to go to the next level."
This is the truth.
Yuguizhai was originally considered a famous pastry shop in Liangjing, but with the help of the cinema, it overshadowed all other pastry shops in just two days.
Who among the businessmen wouldn't be jealous? Especially the bosses in the Liangjing Chamber of Commerce, but they are more cautious and are still waiting and watching.
Le Han couldn't wait any longer, as he had a secret thought in his mind.
The way the cinema and Yuguizhai cooperated was very interesting, and he wanted it too.
Le Han didn't even ask for the advertisement to make money for the teahouse. He would be very satisfied as long as his shop appeared on the big advertising screen in the cinema.
Lu Yao understood what Le Han meant, which simply meant curiosity and the desire to try new things.
At this time, Ye Xiao just pushed the door open and Lu Yao asked, "Where is Fu Chi?"
Ye Xiao tilted his head towards the outside and said, "Fiddling with the machine."
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Call the second shopkeeper in and tell him that there is work to do."
Fu Chi came in with a confused look on his face, "What's the matter?"
Lu Yao pointed at Le Han and introduced him: "This is Le, the shopkeeper from Chunxilou next door. He asked the cinema to make an advertisement."
Fu Chi blinked, walked to the single sofa next to him and sat down, looking at Lu Yao in a daze: "But I can't go outside."
Lu Yao nodded: "I understand, but I still want to hand over this project planning to you, after all, you are a professional. Then I and others will fully assist you."
Fu Chi lifted his hair unconsciously, lowered his eyes and whispered: "Okay, I'll try."
The cinema received its first formal advertising project. Lu Yao and Le Han agreed on the price, and the planning, content details and shooting were left to Fu Chi and Le Han to communicate.
At first, Le Han thought that shooting an advertisement was a simple matter for a cinema, but he did not expect that there were many things that needed to be discussed, and the other party would refer to his opinions a lot, and finally the two parties would have to sign a contract.
Coming out of the lounge, Lu Yao was in a good mood as the cinema started to earn money from secondary business.
-
Zhao Guanghong watched a movie and kept wandering around in the cinema.
He did business outside and had been to remote countryside, stayed in the prosperous water town of Jiangnan for a long time, and also been to the cold and vast northern frontier. He considered himself knowledgeable, but everything in the cinema was unheard of.
Aunt Wu was a little annoyed by his inexperienced look.
Lu Yao came out of the lounge and inspected the screening area as usual.
She went to the large screening area first and met Aunt Wu.
Aunt Wu told Lu Yao once in the morning that her son was a businessman. He was very surprised after eating the mooncakes from the cinema and wanted to take some to sell in other places.
At this moment, Aunt Wu told her that Zhao Guanghong was in the rest area.
Zhao Guanghong had heard from Mrs. Wu that Lu Yao was very young and a woman, but he was still surprised when he actually saw her.
She was younger than expected and didn't look like a business person.
Lu Yao broke this impression as soon as he opened his mouth: "I heard from Aunt Wu that you wanted to take some mooncakes to sell outside. My mooncakes are not cheap, and the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, so I am afraid I can't sell them at a high price."
Zhao Guanghong thought the cinema didn't want to cooperate, and he was a little anxious. He explained, "Your mooncakes are delicious and unique. Not only in Liangjing, but I have never eaten such special and delicious mooncakes anywhere else. Even if it's not a festival, there will definitely be people vying to buy them. To be honest, I have been doing business abroad for a few years and have some connections. I don't have to worry about the sales of my mooncakes."
"The mooncakes in my family can only be kept for half a month at most, and must not be eaten after that time," Lu Yao added.
Zhao Guanghong was delighted: "If it is true as the shopkeeper said, even the meat mooncakes can be preserved for half a month. I only wish to take more goods and transport them to Jiangnan by water. The fastest time is seven days."
Lu Yao nodded: "What you said is true."
After a detailed discussion, Lu Yao agreed to give him ten sets, ten boxes of each of the five kinds of mooncakes, and he only had to make one trip there and back.
Fifty boxes of mooncakes is actually not a small quantity.
Zhao Guanghong is a businessman with a sharp eye. After getting the mooncakes, he also wanted some paper towels and hand sanitizer of the same type that were placed in the bathroom.
Lu Yao thought that this man was smart and that paper towels and hand sanitizer were not expensive, so he took a box from the warehouse and gave it to him.
Where movies can't go, let mooncakes, toilet paper and hand sanitizer do the job.
Zhao Guanghong signed a contract with Lu Yao, paid for the goods, drove away with a small truckload of goods, and thanked Lu Yao profusely.
-
After seeing Zhao Guanghong off, Lu Yao continued to inspect the small screening area.
As I walked to the ticket gate, I heard a quarrel. I walked over and saw the familiar door of the screening room and familiar guests.
Xie Wan, Sun Qinghe and a group of noble ladies from official families were confronting the same group of playboys from the day before.
Lu Yao listened to a few words and it seemed that this time they were arguing about "Sea Train".
The playboys brought up the incident from last time and asked Xie Wan if the sea train was a real thing. Several of the playboys nearby laughed so hard that they fell over.
Xie Wan's eyebrows were raised, his face was full of anger, but he couldn't say anything to refute.
Lu Yao was somewhat helpless: "Why do you have to be so serious about something that is just for fun?"
The fanning man saw Lu Yao and immediately called out, "The young shopkeeper is here. Didn't you say the other day that you would prove to us that there is indeed a giant creature in the sea by Mid-Autumn Festival? Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and we still haven't seen any evidence!"
Lu Yao remained calm and said, "I have provided evidence."
The man waving the fan laughed wickedly: "When? How come we don't know?"
After watching "Searching for Deep-Sea Monsters", Minister Chen was still not satisfied, so he ordered another play, "Meeting You Again in the Time of Falling Flowers".
However, after two consecutive screenings, it was already noon, and after sitting for several hours, everyone was a little tired.
A group of six or seven people, led by Minister Chen, were going out to have a meal, relax a bit, and then come back to continue watching.
As a result, after coming out of the screening room, several people felt the urge to go to the bathroom.
Unexpectedly, the toilets in the cinema were different from those in other places. They were clean and elegant, without any smell.
Several officials were touching and looking around in the restroom and couldn't help but study the laying of sewer pipes, which wasted quite a bit of time. When they came out, they ran into a group of children quarreling.
When Minister Chen came out, he saw Lu Yao being picked on. Looking at the group of arrogant playboys, he thought of Chen Yuning and said, "You ignorant boy, you have little knowledge. Don't embarrass yourself here."
The dandy leader did not take noble ladies like Xie Wan seriously, simply because he was also from a noble family and was the youngest son of King Zhuang.
Wan Baoxin was not interested in the affairs of the court. He did not recognize Minister Chen for a moment and shouted, "I am talking to the young shopkeeper. Don't meddle in other people's business, old man."
Li Bo and others blushed with anger. There was such an unreliable young man in Liangjing City.
Minister Chen's face was stern, neither humble nor arrogant: "I just heard a few words. You don't believe that there are really big fish in the sea. You are really ignorant. Bullying women, being aggressive, and having no tolerance, it's lamentable and pathetic."
Wan Baoxin was dissatisfied. "There is no such huge fish in the world. It is just an imaginary thing that appears in the play. After arguing for a few sentences, you didn't win, but you used your moral principles to suppress others. It's so boring."
Li Bo couldn't help but say, "How can there be none? It's just that you haven't seen it. Have you heard of ambergris? The raw material of ambergris is taken from sea sparrows, which are the big square-headed and square-brained fish in the film. People living by the sea have seen them to some extent, but you don't know about them. You don't check or investigate, but you think it's fake. You are like a fool, sitting in a well and looking at the world without knowing it."
Lu Yao spoke up at the right time: "The evidence of big fish in the sea has been there for a long time, you just didn't notice it. Sometimes people say it a thousand times, but you don't understand it. The best way is to go out to the sea and see it yourself."
The seafood mooncake advertisement was shot in the furry shop. The scenery was real without any special effects. A big whale also appeared in the scene, and Lu Yao even showed his face at the end to prove his authenticity.
Wan Baoxin was repeatedly criticized and began to doubt himself.
At first, he really didn't believe it.
But when someone mentioned ambergris, he vaguely remembered that he had seen it somewhere before.
Could it be that they were really wrong
For a moment, Wan Baoxin felt an unprecedented urge in his heart. He wanted to go to the beach to see the real big fish.

After dealing with the farce, Lu Yao was pulled aside by Chen Shangshu to chat, and suddenly received a message from Zhou Su.
Private chat in small window: [Shopkeeper, Xiao Xiao Ji is going crazy, so scary! ]
