Guide to Running a Shop in Another World

Chapter 209: The fifth store

Views:

Jiuhua was stunned: "The owner wants to invest in the film and television industry, and he also wants to write the script himself?"

Lu Yao explained that according to the current progress, the new "Z series technology" can be completed by the end of the year at the latest.

She is very optimistic about the prospect of this technology. Although it is still called "Z series" at present, its internal structure has been completely changed. When it is applied in the audio-visual field, it may be difficult to find matching film sources for a while.

So she planned to prepare in advance, make a script herself, and shoot a short play for the upcoming holographic theater, which could be used as trial run material and could also be shown in theaters.

Jiuhua blinked: "We have money to film a drama?"

Jiuhua works with Ji Zhixin and often sees him haggling with partners over funding issues. Later, she learns that all of Lu Yao's money was used to purchase goods for opening stores. Unfortunately, the world has its own walls, and her assets in other stores cannot be converted into usable cash.

Lu Yao nodded calmly: "The snack bar has relatively powerful technology, and they are planning to develop the film and television industry recently. I am ready to cooperate with them. The same goes for you. Help me write this script and sign a cooperation contract, and I will pay an equal price."

Jiuhua's eyes widened, and she gradually became excited. "Shopkeeper, this idea is very interesting. Let's not worry about the contract. Let's discuss the script. I want to hear your thoughts first."

This discussion lasted for several hours. Lu Yao had many specific ideas, which stimulated Jiuhua and sparked inspiration.

Until the Maorongrong shop closed in the evening, Jiuhua took a stack of materials and prepared to go home to start writing.

Lu Yao instructed: "Finish this part first. If you need any information, let Zhixin contact me."

After Jiuhua left, Lu Yao went to the fishing house to play with the water drop seals for a while, and then inspected the furry creatures who were resting.

I haven't noticed for a while, and the furry ones have grown taller. Maybe it's because winter is approaching, and their fur seems to be more fluffy.

After coming out of the furry shop, there are still five or six hours before the cinema opens.

Lu Yao wanted to go back to the nail salon to rest, but his feet unconsciously walked towards the snack bar.

The snack bar was closed in the afternoon and everyone was preparing ingredients for the evening and dinner for the staff.

The clerk hadn't seen Lu Yao at this time for a long time, and Xingzi and Xiaoqie stood up immediately.

Xingzi saw that Lu Yao looked tired and couldn't help asking, "Has the owner been busy all day? What do you want to eat? Ask Xiaoquan to make it for you right away."

Xiaoqie ran downstairs and brought down a plate of snacks.

Qi Chen followed behind, holding a cup of charcoal caramel cocoa and handing it over, "New product for autumn."

Lu Yao took a sip, squinted his eyes comfortably, and glanced at the scenery outside the window. He remembered that when he first came to the shopping street, the flowers and trees by the river were in full bloom. Now, layers of fallen leaves are piled on the ground. Several seasons have passed in a flash.

Time flies.

Qi Chen sat down in front of Lu Yao, his eyes darkened, as if he had something to say.

Lu Yao was thinking about filming a short play, and didn't notice his expression. He ate a snack with caramel cocoa, and he felt less tired. He asked Xiao Qie casually, "How is the modern film and television base next door going?"

Xiao Qie blinked: "The owner seems to be very concerned about the film and television base. It should be completed in another half a month."

Lu Yao did not shy away from saying, "Because I want to make a short play, I plan to seek cooperation from the film department. I wonder if it will work?"

A new film department has been established in Dreamland, which is a subsidiary of the park. Almost all the work of expanding the film and television base, finding and training professional directors and actors, shooting and releasing films is done in this department.

The shop assistants were stunned and immediately became excited.

The store owner is actually willing to invest in a movie, this is a big client.

If the people in the film department heard about it, they would definitely be more excited than them.

At the end of the day, everything in Dreamland is just a way to pass the time.

But even when playing house, people pursue realism, and Lu Yao is the one who can provide infinite realism to their lives.

The owner of the store who invests in a film, whether it is a movie or a short drama, will be the first real customer of the film department.

Xiao Qie stood up and walked out: "Shopkeeper, I'll go call the captain of the guard over. I'm sure he'll be willing to talk to you about this."

The other shop assistants also wanted to hear Lu Yao's little script, so they hurried to work before the chief guard arrived.

Qi Chen didn't care much about the movie. He went over his recent thoughts in his mind and made up his mind, "Shopkeeper, I have something to tell you."

Lu Yao looked up: "What's the matter?"

Qi Chen clenched his fingers, feeling a little uncomfortable: "I want to have a soul bond with you."

Lu Yao was stunned for a moment before responding: "Have you thought it through?"

After binding with her, you can take turns as the deputy store manager and be able to step out of the snack bar.

Qi Chen nodded: "After talking with Fu Chi, I had this idea. Human life is too short. In fact, living in the land of dreams is not bad. At least you have unlimited time."

Lu Yao frowned slightly: "Then do you want to see your former relatives? You know that you can't be reborn after being bound. These decades may pass quickly, but what about the future?"

When your loved ones pass away, you will be left alone in the end.

Qi Chen looked up at me with a strange expression: "I thought the owner didn't care about these details. After all, your situation is more serious than mine."

The shop owner kept opening shops, and life became longer and longer.

It’s not so difficult in Dreamland. The clerks in other stores will grow old and die over time, and the owner will be alone in the end.

Unlike the residents of Dreamland, the shop owners will grow old.

Years pass by, but time never ends. What should I do guarding this street alone

Lu Yao had never really thought about this question. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled again: "There's no point worrying about what will happen when you get old now."

They don’t know that the existence of the shopping street comes from the dream-fulfilling system, and that one day when the dream comes true, there may be no need to continue opening stores.

However, Lu Yao has never thought about what will happen to these stores in various worlds at that time.

Qi Chen pursed his lips and looked straight at him: "That's what I mean, we'll talk about it later. After all, the owner is still here, isn't he?"

Lu Yao felt offended, but didn't care, "Then let's bind them. This seemed to form a cycle.

After discussing the matter, Lu Yao invited the captain of the guard and the minister to dinner.

Who can resist food from a snack bar

The only restaurant in Dreamland, you might even be able to try the hidden menu in the restaurant.

After the meal, the chief guard and the film minister were almost unable to get up. The hot food was so delicious that they couldn't stop eating it.

Finally, Quan Shengju brought a dessert.

Lu Yao was eating a mooncake-shaped cake when he suddenly remembered that the clerk in the snack bar could pinch "emotions" into mooncakes, which was quite different from ordinary illusions.

The illusion of the theme park game is so realistic that it is actually the embodiment of a scene.

Can illusion be combined with technology and magic to make up for the technical deficiencies that cannot be overcome at present

Lu Yao tilted his head and looked at the guard captain, "Actually, my friend and I have been researching a new technology recently."

The captain of the guards and the director of the film department heard that the store owner was researching holographic technology with scientists in other stores, and wanted to try to combine it with illusion to develop technology that could give people a comprehensive emotional experience through the five senses. Their hearts, which had just calmed down, became excited again.

The head guard thought far ahead. "High-level illusions are related to soul power. Since the owner is not a dead person, it may be difficult for him to master them. However, there are many talented full-time personnel in the technical department of the park. I can introduce them to you. But if holographic technology is really developed in the future, I hope the owner will give me some convenience."

If the park has the holographic technology described by Lu Yao, park games may usher in a new starting point.

Lu Yao was also very surprised and had no objection to the captain of the guard's suggestion.

She also hopes that Dreamland will get better and better.

The captain of the guard had high hopes for the holographic technology and didn't want to wait a moment, so he stood up and wanted to take Lu Yao to meet the staff of the park's technical department.

Xingzi stopped him and said, "Captain of the Guard, the owner has been busy all day without a rest. Why don't we continue discussing important matters after she has rested?"

The guard leader then noticed that Lu Yao looked tired, "Sorry."

Lu Yao shook his head to indicate "nothing" and continued, "Combining illusions is just an idea of mine. I will write a theoretical plan in the next few days and come to discuss it with you. Do you think it is feasible?"

The guard captain nodded repeatedly: "Okay."

After coming out of the snack bar, there are still two hours before the cinema opens.

Lu Yao did not return to the nail salon, but walked into the blind box store next door.

The flow of time in the world of impermanence is slower than in other worlds, so sleeping here can help you rest a little longer.

The clerk at the blind box store was also surprised to see Lu Yao, as he felt like he hadn't seen the owner for a long time.

Linglan was the best at acting like a spoiled child. Lu Yao chatted with them for a while, then carried the tiger cub into the laboratory, and fell into a deep sleep while resting his head on his soft, furry belly.

She slept very comfortably, but Lu Yao felt as if someone was watching her. She opened her eyes drowsily and saw a young god standing beside the sofa, staring at her quietly.

Lu Yao sat up suddenly: "Am I dreaming, or am I awake?"

The Balance Compass frowned, "They all chose you. Maybe in the end, you will really be the winner."

Lu Yao didn’t understand: “What?”

Balancing Compass supported his face with one hand, his eyes tangled, "I don't like to take sides, balance is the most interesting. But it may be this ambiguous thought that caused the death of my world. Never mind, this is for you."

What the Balance Compass handed over was a ring. Lu Yao was puzzled: "Why are you giving this to me?"

The alarm on the cell phone suddenly rang and Lu Yao opened his eyes.

It turned out that I was dreaming just now, but the ring in the dream was in my hand.

Lu Yao stood up and walked to the room where the balancing compass was placed.

I don't know who built a shrine with small pillows, and the balance compass was placed in the middle of the sofa.

Lu Yao approached cautiously. The compass, which had been put back together, was missing a piece in the center. The golden piece was embedded in the ring in Lu Yao's hand.

Balance Compass also wants her to be a half-body

But He also said that He didn’t want to take sides. What does that mean

The system was unable to enter Lu Yao's dream, but by seeing the ring in her hand, it could roughly guess what had happened.

Unexpectedly, even the balanced compass chose the owner.

Seeing that Lu Yao didn't seem to react, the system whispered: [Keep it. You already have so many, so this one won't be a big deal.]

The finger bones of the demon god, the scales of the dragon, the eyeballs of the mother goddess, the ring of the god of balance, and... that person's personal belongings...

The system seemed to calmly comfort Lu Yao, but the more he thought about it, the more scared he became.

Lu Yao thought about it and realized that this was the truth. It wouldn’t make any difference anyway.

She tried the ring on and when she put it on her right index finger, it felt like the best fit, so she just wore it.

As long as the shop owner returns to the shopping street, the items from other worlds will automatically fall off and be stored in the personal warehouse.

There are almost no exceptions except for the phantom ring given to her by the devil.

However, in the middle of the night that day, Lu Yao came out of the blind box shop and felt something warm in the pouch of her shirt. She reached out and took out the lotus earrings that A had given her.

This pair of earrings is actually not small. It feels a little heavy in the hand and has a faint warm golden light.

The handkerchief used to wrap it came from the Dawu Dynasty and was now in Lu Yao's personal storage.

Lu Yao was puzzled: "What's going on?"

The system didn't dare to answer the call.

Lu Yao walked down the steps and stood on the small road of the shopping street: "I am indeed in the shopping street, how can I bring these earrings out?"

The system continues to play dead.

Lu Yao pondered: "So this thing is actually from us? Then A is..."

The system is extremely nervous, please don't be unable to speak.

"…someone I know, right?"

The system took a deep breath and slowly calmed down the heart that was raised to its throat.

As expected, that person never revealed his identity.

A car drove from the main road into the shopping street. Fu Chi came to work.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Yao casually put the earrings into his personal storage and strode towards the cinema.

There is a lot going on today.

-

The cinemas are open, and the finale of "The Little Chef of Shengjing" will be shown tomorrow, with another new film being released.

Once "Xunxian" is updated, or a documentary bought from Yeguang City is continued to be screened, the film screening mission will be completed.

If two more positive feedbacks are observed, the task is completed.

When Lu Yao came out from the backstage, Fu Chi had already drawn up an advertising plan and gave the store owner a task - to find four women with full lips in Liangjing who were willing to star in the commercial.

Four lipsticks, four different styles.

Fu Chi was also very excited. He wanted to shoot a work that was completely different from his previous ones.

Lu Yao first asked someone to go to Jinghong Pavilion to invite Chen Lianlian, as it was originally agreed that she would star in a lipstick advertisement.

The oiran's facial features are delicate and flawless, perfectly in line with Director Fu's aesthetic concept.

That means we have found one.

When Chen Lianlian heard that three more women were needed, she recommended two girls from Jinghong Pavilion.

However, during the audition, one of them was not used to performing in front of the camera and was very uncomfortable. In the end, only the young actor named "Asagao" remained.

The average woman is interested in cinemas and commercials, but she also has many concerns.

With the introduction of Xu Niangzi, Lu Yao met several ordinary girls in succession, but failed to reach an agreement with them.

Later, Chen Lianlian mentioned that there might be actors in Baixiang Garden who met the requirements.

Lu Yao went to Baixiang Garden to find the owner and finally selected two musicians.

Now that the four actors are together, the follow-up of the advertisement will be entirely handed over to Fu Chi.

In the afternoon, Xie Wan and Sun Qinghe came to see Lu Yao.

Lu Yao talked with them for nearly an hour about the specific matters of running a girls' school.

Both left feeling that they had benefited a lot.

The young shopkeeper has very broad ideas.

The source of students, the choice of textbook content, the quality of teachers, safety issues... many things they failed to consider, she pointed them out one by one.

The two had originally planned to spend money to set up a decent girls' school, but after listening to Lu Yao's advice, they decided to start with volunteer teaching.

Education is a very difficult thing for most ordinary people. It is extremely difficult for an ordinary family to send a child to school, and even fewer people are willing to send a girl to school.

If they set up a girls' school, there is a high possibility that they would not be able to recruit students at the beginning.

It's cruel to say, but it's the truth.

So Lu Yao suggested that they first find a suitable place, accept some girls for trial teaching for free, so as to subtly change the ideas of the people around them, and at the same time treat it as a test for themselves.

The road to education is not easy.

Xie Wan and Sun Qinghe are both teenage girls. Perhaps it was just an idea that came to their mind on impulse. Only after trying it would they know what the situation is like and better understand their own character and abilities.

After watching the two noble ladies leave, Lu Yao returned to the hall and notified the post-production team to cut a short film of the wonderful collection of "The Little Chef of Shengjing".

As the first TV series to be completed in cinemas, there should be some sense of ceremony.

The next film was finally confirmed to be "The Inspector General of Daliang", and the trailer will also be released at the same time.

Lu Yao went backstage to look through the copyrights he had recently purchased. There were suspense, romance, horror, history... all kinds of themes, but it seemed like something was missing.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yao stood up and walked outside, and sent a message to Ji Zhixin: [It seems that we don’t have any cartoons yet. ]

Ji Zhixin: [Arrange it immediately.]

-

Four days later, the lipstick jointly produced by the cinema and Yanzhilou was launched online.

That morning, some people were immersed in the sadness of the ending of "The Little Chef of Shengjing", some had not yet seen the feature film of "Moon Landing", and some began to look forward to the upcoming premiere of "The Inspector General of Daliang", which would succeed "The Little Chef". They were all caught off guard and saw the latest advertisement of the cinema.

On the huge screen that had previewed "Moon Landing," four stunning beauties captured all their attention like the first rays of morning light.
