1. Unique and Distinct
As the opening ceremony was about to conclude, the promotional presence of Blue Sky Petroleum, which had invested millions, was nowhere to be seen!
He Hongmei was more anxious than anyone else, constantly urging Qin Chizian, "Half of the Heavenly Capital has passed. You've taken so much money from Blue Sky Petroleum; how are you going to explain this to them?"
Qin Chizian, gripping the walkie-talkie, replied without turning around, "Stop fussing!"
Finally, a voice came through the walkie-talkie from Tao Anmin, the director of the police station: "Attention, the opening ceremony will end at 11:55. We are now in the countdown!"
Both Qin Chizian and He Hongmei began to look at their watches. At exactly noon, Qin Chizian commanded into the walkie-talkie, "Start!"
Just as the leaders were preparing to exit, a melodious song echoed through the air—yes, it was coming from above!
Everyone began searching for the source of the sound.
Five giant airships emblazoned with the Blue Sky Petroleum logo slowly flew towards Central Square from various directions. Each airship displayed five large blue characters underneath: " Wenyuan Welcomes You."
Everyone looked up in awe.
The five airships lined up to form " Wenyuan Welcomes You," soaring around the venue. The leading airship played music continuously:
"Welcoming another dawn, bringing fresh air,
The essence changes but the flavor remains, tea fragrance fills with friendship.
My door is always open, embracing you with warmth,
Once embraced, there’s an understanding; you will fall in love with this place.
No matter how far or near, all are guests; please don’t stand on ceremony.
We’ve agreed to be together; we welcome you.
My home grows everlasting greens, opening every legend,
Sowing in traditional soil, leaving memories for you.
Strangers or familiar faces are all guests; please don’t be formal.
It doesn’t matter how many times you've come; there are too many topics to discuss.
Wenyuan Welcomes You, creating a world for you,
The charm in motion is full of vitality.
Wenyuan Welcomes You, sharing breaths under the sun,
Refreshing achievements on yellow earth.
My door is always open, welcoming all under heaven,
Time blossoms with youthful smiles, celebrating this date.
The vast sky and earth are friends; please don’t be polite.
Artistic imagery and poetic feelings bring smiles, just waiting for you.
Wenyuan Welcomes You, like music that moves you,
Let’s all strive to surpass ourselves.
Wenyuan Welcomes You; anyone with dreams is remarkable,
With courage comes miracles.
Wenyuan Welcomes You, creating a world for you,
The charm in motion is full of vitality.
Wenyuan Welcomes You, sharing breaths under the sun,
Refreshing achievements on yellow earth."
Wenyuan Welcomes You, anyone with a dream is remarkable.
With courage, miracles can happen.
In front of a crowd of over a hundred thousand, both leaders and the public were captivated by the song.
Everyone held their breath, savoring the meaning behind the lyrics.
The Director of the Provincial Department of Culture, Chang Zairan, repeatedly asked, "Who wrote this song? How have I never heard it before? This has truly been a worthwhile trip!"
Manager Lian from Blue Sky Petroleum was present at the scene and was in communication with headquarters. The leaders from the provincial company also watched the live broadcast on the television station, witnessing the grand appearance of Blue Sky Petroleum.
No one noticed any hard advertising elements from Blue Sky Petroleum, yet the brand image was instantly embedded in everyone's minds.
The CEO was very pleased: "Not bad, it's unique and stands out!"
Manager Lian's smile was wide with delight.
The heads of the marketing and planning departments were equally impressed: listening to this song with their eyes closed, all they could envision was Blue Sky Petroleum's image; this idea was simply brilliant!
He Hongmei and Qin Chizian were also watching the live broadcast on television. As the camera panned across the sky, Blue Sky Petroleum's logo reflected against the blue sky and white clouds, with the melody of "Wenyuan welcomes you" lingering in the air. Additionally, close-ups of the logo on Blue Sky Petroleum's buses appeared on screen: "Wenyuan cheers on, together with Blue Sky!"
At that moment, staff from the cultural department were inquiring about the origins of the song's lyrics and music.
Chen Ming and Chai Liang had also arrived, accompanied by a group of Japanese visitors who were aware that Qin Chizian had no time to greet them and were left to explore freely.
These Japanese had visited our country many times, but they usually went to big cities; they had never experienced such a grassroots visit to rural areas, and everything before them felt fresh and new.
At the exhibition site, there was a rattan weaving showcase organized by Baliushu Township. A group of Japanese with bow legs found themselves unable to move as they watched, some even pulling out cameras and camcorders to capture the moment.
2Choke Point
In fact, it was in the afternoon and evening that the first day of this arts festival reached its peak: Baliushu had invited three top-performing teams from Yanjing: Silver Goose, Spirit of the Sparrow, and Explosive Brothers. Many people had seen them on television; their names were well-known.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, these renowned domestic stars would take to the stage one after another to sing and dance, welcoming guests attending the arts festival.
Finally, there would be an experience-sharing session at the town government's auditorium at the strong request of related brother counties or cities from both inside and outside the province. He Hongmei, Deputy Township Head of Baliushu, would share insights on how to adapt to local conditions and utilize existing resources for economic development.
The evening's arrangement included a grand bonfire party where leaders would celebrate together with the public; festivities were scheduled until ten o'clock at night, marking the end of an exciting first day.
Throughout the event, Jiangbei Television Station, Jiangcheng TV Station, and Wenyuan Television Station provided live coverage.
Of course, there were also some uninvited media outlets—various entertainment publications—since many stars were present this time around. Many gossip media outlets would not miss such an opportunity.
A beautiful reporter surnamed Hua from Entertainment Report had heard that Qin Chizian could be quite influential here; she kept trying to get him to help dig up some entertainment scoop while using various charms and tactics to win him over.
At 12:50 PM, just as he finally sat down for a break, Wan Hongcai suddenly called: "Xiao Qin, come quickly to the main venue's performance center!"
Any call at this time was significant; Qin Chizian hurriedly made his way over.
Wan Hongcai gestured to a middle-aged woman beside him. "This is Director Chen Caihong from the County Cultural Bureau. She has an urgent matter to discuss with you!"
There was no time for handshakes or pleasantries. Chen Caihong's official demeanor was replaced by anxiety and helplessness. "The agent from the Silver Goose Team suddenly demanded transportation fees from us!"
"What? Transportation fees?" Qin Chizian exclaimed. "Don't we have a contract?"
"Ah! That item wasn't included in the contract at the time. Now they’re stuck, claiming that without transportation fees, the actors won’t perform!" Chen Caihong explained.
Qin Chizian asked, "How much do they want in total?"
"There are seventeen people in their team. Seven of them want thirty thousand, and the other ten want ten thousand each! Time is too tight; should we just give it to them?" Chen Caihong suggested.
Qin Chizian's mind raced. "No way! We hired three teams this time, and if they demand over three hundred thousand, the other two teams will likely follow suit. We have money, but we can't let them take advantage of us like this. They’re trying to choke us for cash at this moment! I don’t know about their artistic level, but their ethics are terrible!"
Chen Caihong's expression darkened. "Deputy Director Qin, who will take responsibility if they refuse to perform?"
Qin Chizian raised his eyebrows. "Director Chen, did I ever say you should take responsibility? We at Baliushu won’t pay a single cent for unexpected expenses. If you think I’m not capable, then you can negotiate with them yourself!"
