This top guy is crazy!

Upon arriving at Yunxiangyi, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Wang were overwhelmed by the sheer variety of goods displayed in the numerous shops.

Yunxiangyi is not a single merchant, but a costume experience park composed of more than a dozen merchants, each of whom has a cooperative relationship with the official White Snake Film and Television City.

By this time, quite a few tourists had already changed their clothes here.

Xiao Wang pulled Xiao Yuan along, curiously peering closer at the price lists of several shops to compare them carefully, their eyes widening with each glance.

"My God, this pricing... it's so reasonable!" Xiao Wang couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

After comparing prices repeatedly, she found that the travel photography packages at the White Snake Film City were really cheap!

Most businesses offer three tiers of service.

First, there are basic services, including makeup and hairstyling, and clothing rental (including clothing and accessories), priced at 30-80 yuan. In other scenic spots, this price probably wouldn't even be enough to rent a decent robe.

The second option is the mid-range package, which includes a 2-hour professional photographer session and 10 retouched photos in addition to the basic makeup and styling services. The entire package costs only around 200 yuan.

Thirdly, there's high-end customization: full-day filming plus short video production, priced at around 600 yuan.

This is so much better than other tourist attractions.

Xiao Wang clicked his tongue, feeling like he had gotten a great deal.

In the end, Xiao Wang chose a makeup and styling shop that she liked, and then she and Xiao Yuan changed into their costumes. They chose the most basic couple's package, which cost 89 yuan. Xiao Wang dressed up as the most classic Bai Suzhen, wearing a snow-white light gauze dress, paired with a flowing shawl and water sleeves, looking very ethereal.

Xiao Yuan then naturally dressed up as Xu Xian—wearing an indigo blue robe, a square scarf on his head, and holding a folding fan.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Xiao Wang praised the makeup artist's excellent makeup skills.

Then she looked at Xiao Yuan, remembered the "ancient style young man" meme online, and couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Yuan felt forced to perform, and he felt awkward all over. This was his first time wearing period costume, and he didn't even know how to walk.

After changing clothes, the two started to explore the scenic area. Looking at the scenic areas in the app, they decided to go to the nearest pharmacy, Baoantang, where Xu Xian lived. There was a note after "Baoantang" that said "(Filming location of the movie "Green Snake").

Besides the Baoan Hall from the movie "Green Snake", there is also the Baoan Hall from "The Legend of the White Snake" in the White Snake Film and Television City, but the other Baoan Hall is quite far away.

Walking through the White Snake Film City, the streets are lined with rows of antique-style buildings:
Food stalls with banners bearing the character for "wine" fluttering in the wind, milk tea shops with signs for "tea" hanging above their entrances, steaming bun shops with their bamboo steamers emitting plumes of hot steam, and cultural and creative shops selling oil-paper umbrellas and round fans...

Most importantly, all the merchants and shop assistants in the shops were dressed in ancient costumes that matched their status!

The food stall workers wore headscarves, the milk tea shop waitresses wore their hair in buns, the steamed bun shop aunties wore aprons, and the cultural and creative shop manager wore a long gown... Their every move and word blended naturally into this ancient-style environment without the slightest sense of incongruity.

The vast majority of tourists on the streets had also changed into ancient costumes!

Looking around, there are swordsmen with swords in hand, their straw hats pulled low, their steps swift and graceful; there are wealthy young men waving folding fans, followed by friends dressed as servants; there are Taoist priests with whisks in hand, exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom; and there is a "demon hunter" with a "compass," searching for monsters everywhere.
There was even an "emperor" dressed in a bright yellow "dragon robe," with a protruding belly and waving a fan, who swaggered through the streets surrounded by a group of "guards" and "concubines."

Xiao Wang saw this "Emperor Package" at a travel photography shop. It was priced at 1299 yuan. The "guards" and "concubines" in the background were all staff members of Yunxiangyi.

They were not only responsible for maintaining appearances and providing emotional support to the "emperor," but also for providing him with tour guide and photography services around the clock.

Honestly, Xiao Wang felt this set meal was really appealing. If she hadn't come with her boyfriend, she would have wanted to be a "queen," since it was only 1299 yuan, which wasn't too expensive.

Standing in the film studio, Xiao Wang and Xiao Yuan felt completely at ease and at ease.

Those few tourists dressed in modern T-shirts and jeans seemed to be the real outsiders.

Xiao Yuan began to analyze why the White Snake Film City had such a good immersive experience.

He believes the first point is that the film and television city is well-planned, and all the service personnel, managers, and merchants in the film and television city are dressed in ancient costumes.

They are not actors; they are everyday beings. This is the most powerful background setting.

Secondly, the price of costumes and makeup is low enough to completely eliminate the barrier for tourists to experience ancient costumes.

If the cost of makeup and costumes is often one or two hundred yuan, many tourists probably wouldn't want to spend that money. However, in the White Snake Film City, the most basic makeup and costumes only cost 30-80 yuan, and that includes full makeup, full costume, and the whole day.

This price-performance ratio is so attractive that any tourist would be tempted.

Just like him and his girlfriend, a set meal costs only 45 yuan per person on average, which is incredibly cost-effective.

Xiao Yuan was deeply impressed. Frog Bro had truly mastered the psychology of tourists and operational strategies. This strategy of requiring everyone to wear ancient costumes and having an extremely low threshold for changing clothes directly turned the tourists themselves into the most important component of the immersive experience.

However, he also understands that although this strategy is very successful, not all scenic spots have the courage to follow it, because not all scenic spots have the ability to coordinate all businesses, nor are all scenic spots willing to give back to tourists.

The vast majority of scenic area managers are, at heart, "bloodsuckers," eager to drain every tourist's wallet, and have no long-term vision whatsoever.

As Xiao Wang and Xiao Yuan strolled around and ate, they soon arrived at Baoan Hall.

Before me stood the apothecary with its gray brick walls, heavy black lacquered wooden doors, and two antique-style windproof lanterns on either side of the entrance, casting a faint glow even in the daytime.

It looks exactly like in the movie.

"Wow! This is the Bao'an Hall from the movie! It's exactly the same!" Xiao Wang exclaimed excitedly in a low voice, pulling Xiao Yuan to take pictures from various angles at the entrance.

Upon entering Baoan Hall, a unique aroma, a blend of mugwort, dried tangerine peel, and unidentified medicinal herbs, wafts towards you.

The store was dimly lit, with rows of tall, dark brown medicine cabinets reaching the ceiling, and countless small drawers labeled with the names of the medicinal herbs.

The counter is made of heavy solid wood, and it displays items such as brass scales, mortars and pestles, and abacuses.

An "apprentice" dressed in a gray coarse cloth short jacket and a small hat was solemnly weighing several medicinal herbs with a copper scale. His expression was focused and his movements were meticulous, as if he were really dealing with some important prescription.

Seeing Xiao Wang and Xiao Yuan enter, their eyes immediately lit up, and they went to greet them, saying:

"Master! Madam, you've finally returned!"

Xiao Wang and Xiao Yuan were taken aback:
Ok?
Is this an act? (End of Chapter)
