*********************************

As for the remodeled design office, Jia Hongjian did not think of seeking help from his old acquaintance, the East China Design Institute, because the East China Design Institute was good at designing exterior buildings, but for such functional renovations, They are unfamiliar!They may be familiar with other functional transformations, but this kind of internal sound, lighting and stage design is not their specialty!You can't let a bunch of architects help with the lighting and shadows on the stage, right?

Of course, it's not that Jia Hongjian didn't ask East China Design Institute for help. He asked them to help redesign the overall interior walls and ceiling.Needless to say, this kind of design is definitely for better sound performance - in the past, this big stage was designed for sports activities, so the overall sound reflection setting is not suitable for music performances or something. Not to mention the spread of the vocals.So in order to change the venue to be suitable for theatrical performances, the interior decoration must be changed.By the way, Jia Hongjian also wants to change the overall seat.Although the previous seats are passable, they are from the 70s after all, and these seats are still far from modern business thinking.

Why does modern business thinking still have requirements for the style of the seat?This has to start with Hollywood-Hollywood itself was able to develop back then, the most important thing is the Great Depression in the United States in the 30s.Because of the Great Depression, ordinary people couldn't afford to spend a lot of money on entertainment, so they could only choose cheaper entertainment, that is, movies.The ticket price of Hollywood movies back then was quite cheap. 5 cents per person can be said to be ridiculously cheap.As a result, when there were more people, these people in the Great Depression just sat there for more than an hour when they went to the movies, and they had no other entertainment other than watching movies.I dare not buy anything to eat.

As a result, some small vendors were smart at this time and ran to the entrance of the cinema to sell cheap snacks such as popcorn.As a result, it became popular all of a sudden. At that time, popcorn was still affordable for American people. Although they dared not eat other expensive things, they ate cheap popcorn.It's good to treat idle talk!So soon the entrance of the cinema was lined up with small vendors selling popcorn.

At the very beginning, movie theater owners hated people bringing popcorn to watch movies—these bosses thought watching movies was a very artistic thing, how could they watch movies while eating popcorn?This is blasphemy art!And eating popcorn in a dark environment, there must be a little popcorn on the ground after eating, it will be troublesome to clean up.Not to mention the oily hands consumers get when they eat popcorn, and they will touch this, touch, and touch that.Didn't the seats get oiled?

Therefore, after some bosses restrict consumers from bringing popcorn in, many consumers simply go to movie theaters that don’t care about them. Then, if there is no other way, those more artistic bosses can only hold their noses and spend. The visitor went in with popcorn and ate while watching a movie.At this time, in fact, the bosses didn't have any idea about selling popcorn at the door, and most of them even hated it.But gradually, they found that many people would buy popcorn when they went to the movies.With the idea of ​​being a bastard without making money, they quickly came up with a rule-to charge management fees for the hawkers at the door!That's right, just like setting up a stall at the gate of a Chinese community is to teach the community health and management fees, of course they also want to get a piece of the action!

Then, after collecting management fees, these bosses suddenly found out, why do we only charge management fees, and then leave room for other hawkers to make money?Why don't we sell popcorn ourselves?Then there were movie theater owners who started selling popcorn themselves.Then decades later.A survey on Hollywood shows that for movie theaters, movie tickets are no longer the main source of money, they are only making money to maintain operations, and they are really making money.That is selling popcorn and selling drinks!This is why the modern new-generation seat designs in the United States all have an armrest hole for drinking cups or popcorn! [

Regardless of whether Jia Hongjian will only use this place for the Spring Festival Gala in the future, or rent it out for other theatrical performances, then modify the seats so that they are more suitable for putting some popcorn, drinks, etc., so that he can earn more Isn't it money?

Having said that, Jia Hongjian is looking for a stage renovation or something this time, so who should he find to be in charge of the renovation design this time?After being introduced by the East China Design Institute, Jia Hongjian found the Japanese r design firm.Speaking of which, the r office in Japan is relatively related to China. As early as 1954, this office was designed and built on the shore of Shonan, Fujisawa, Japan, where the Chinese musician Nie Er drowned. Nie Er Monument!

This monument is an activity initiated by the people of Fujisawa City in southern Shonen, Japan, after they learned that the new China was established and Nie Er’s "March of the Volunteers" made by Nie Er, who died on their side, became the national anthem of the country. .Then Fumatsu Yamaguchi, a well-known designer in r, is also a good friend with Nie Er, so their r company withstood the pressure of the Japanese right wing in the 50s, and directly built such a monument to express friendship with China!You must know that in Japan in the 50s, due to the needs of the American government, the liquidation of the right wing was gently put down!

Then, this r company, after entering the 90s, also began to develop its own business in China.For example, Shanghai has just been put into operation this year. The first professional football stadium in the country, the home of the Shenhua team, the Hongkou Football Stadium, was designed by r company!Jia Hongjian remembers this professional football field. When he watched the A-League in 99 in his previous life, he immediately saw the professional football field of the Premier League. There is a billboard next to the turf, and the auditorium behind it. !It's not the general domestic kind that uses a comprehensive stadium as the home field and has a runway next to the turf!

So, this r is one of the best architectural, planning and design companies in Japan.Its predecessor was Bunshō Architectural Design Office founded in 1933 by Mr. Bunsho Yamaguchi, a famous modern Japanese architect.Bunsho Yamaguchi once studied under Gropius, the founder of the Bauhaus, so the Bunsho Architectural Design Office, which was active in the 40s and [-]s, and r after that are the backbone of the Japanese contemporary Bauhaus school

After contacting this r company, Jia Hongjian was surprised to learn that because of the design of the Hongkou football field on the Shanghai side, the other party discovered that the Chinese market was promising, so they just established a branch on the Shanghai side!After the company r knew that Jia Hongjian and the others had a need, the chief designer of their Shanghai branch came here with two architects and two graphic designers!

As for the people who rushed over here, Jia Hongjian realized after meeting that they were not all Japanese—the chief designer who took the lead was an uncle, and he looked amiable. Even a little cowardly.As for the younger brother who followed, there were Chinese and Koreans.

"Mr. Jia, I don't know if your company wants to renovate the Shanghai University stage. What specific ideas do you have? We brought a graphic designer over this time. If you have an idea and tell us, we can draw the effect according to your wishes on the spot Picture, this will allow you to see the effect in advance..." The Japanese uncle said with a very polite smile.He spoke English, and I have to say that this uncle's English is not bad, at least much better than the Japanese in Jia Hongjian's impression.Generally, the accent of Japanese English is so heavy that it makes people rush to hear what they hear is not English but Japanese!This is because the Japanese language itself is somewhat similar to "pinyin writing", and they use various katakana pronunciations to form various vocabulary.But historically they have introduced too many words, such as Chinese words, English and German words and so on.

Before the loss of World War II, their imported words were translated into Chinese characters in Japanese, and China also introduced many such words in the process of modernization, such as "revolution", "cadres" and so on.But later, after being occupied by the United States, it suddenly began to feel that the Americans were foreign, and Japan and South Korea began to de-Sinicize together.Chinese education in South Korea has been greatly reduced. Ordinary people only need to master the Chinese writing of their names, that is, people in the legal profession need to learn Chinese characters.As for Japan, all kinds of new words are mainly transliterated from katakana, which is a bit like the pidgin English in Shanghai before——the starter is "Leita", and the civilized stick is "Stick". ", cement is "cement" and so on. After this, although it is transliterated, it sounds like English, but it is easy for ordinary Japanese to bring in such pronunciation when they really speak English.People in their own country can understand this kind of pronunciation, how can foreigners understand it?At most, if you know what they are saying, you can roughly understand it. If you don’t know what the other party is saying, it will be a bunch of babbling, and the other party is speaking Japanese!

But even though the old man's English was not bad, Jia Hongjian was still in a good mood and spoke Japanese directly to the other party, "Let's speak Japanese, my Japanese is not bad, so I shouldn't have any meaning to express the wrong words." !At that time, the old man was surprised when he saw Jia Hongjian speak Japanese!It feels a bit like a Chinese person went overseas to open a branch, but after getting a business, he went to talk to someone, and the boss directly spoke Chinese. That was definitely a surprise!

However, there are still many "surprises" Jia Hongjian prepared for him this time... Users please go to m to read.)
