My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 345 is a copy of the essence.
But clearly, this video camera brought about a qualitative change to the "inspection".

From the moment he bought it, Wei Dong was amazed by the equipment.

Even forty years later, this is still a very beautiful electronic device, although the red body doesn't look professional.

But it also has the feel of a standard high-end device, and features a foam-tipped pickup.

Holding it in your hand, it feels quite heavy, which really makes you want to create something.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Disneyland, the staff wondered if these two were reporters there to conduct an interview.

I thought Qin Yuye was a female anchor.

She truly deserves the dreamlike Disneyland.

Speaking of visiting with classmates during the summer vacation last year, "But the feeling was completely different. It opened the year before last, but Lawson's situation was still very bad in the first half of last year. The atmosphere at home was very depressing, so I secretly saved up my allowance for a year before I had the opportunity to come and play with my classmates during the summer vacation. It was like fulfilling a dream."

Standing before the dreamlike backdrop of the Disney castle, Qin Yuye finally felt a pang of emotion.

"Back then, I was still a kid who could buy a child's ticket..."

If the previous open collar and long skirt exuded a sexy and alluring style, the current silver-gray oversized collar shirt and tight white jeans reveal a touch of innocence.

It seems that by using the camera to capture her full body, Wei Dong could focus his attention on her body and face; anyway, it's unclear where the photographer's eyes are looking.

The product design is very comfortable to hold with one hand, and the thumb can push the lens to her face. That face, which usually looks quite anxious and mature, finally has some girlish romance.

Wei Dong suddenly realized something: if he hadn't turned Qin Zhiming's music video business around at the end of the year, and hadn't also helped Qin Yuye's jeans sell well.

Didn't she say that she might participate in the Miss ATV pageant after the Spring Festival and thus enter the entertainment industry?
A new era of selling oneself to help one's brother.

This life is different, isn't it?
Although he had never been to a nightclub, Wei Dong's inner drive to reform himself, a characteristic often associated with middle-aged men, was awakened.

Qin Yuye couldn't figure out what was going through his mind and couldn't help but wonder, "I'm talking to you, why are you always pointing the camera at me?"

There was also a rare hint of shyness and secret delight.

Wei Dong, trying to cover up his mistake, shifted the camera away, saying, "Practicing filming, huh? Holy crap... is this place really that big?"

The camera, which was originally meant to capture close-ups, acted like a telescope, capturing even the otherwise distant, colorful floor plan of the park.

Looking at the distant view in front of him, Wei Dong suddenly realized that this famous amusement park was actually not as big as his own zoo.

Qin Yuye asked the staff, and he used a telephoto lens to try to capture the layout steadily.

I already felt that this was what design should be.

This area may continue to expand over the next few decades, but for now it has a hexagonal petal-shaped layout.

The entrance plaza occupies one section of it.

The entrance is on the outside, and this entire section is a huge transparent glass corridor area called the World Market.

Naturally, it was filled with all sorts of Disney-themed merchandise stores.

Even if people don't know Disney's famous merchandise and peripheral product strategy, people forty years from now will know the concept of cultural merchandise.

Suddenly, I realized that all the local specialties I had seen on the commercial street outside the temple were child's play.

This place is filled with a dazzling array of all categories!
Not to mention the various plush toys featuring characters like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, there's also a wide variety of other items available, including thermos cups, blankets, rings, backpacks, bracelets, keychains, pendants, dolls, watches, building blocks, and more.

Qin Yuye returned with the staff.

They've confirmed that you two really aren't photographer and employer.
Disney prohibits all commercial photography, meaning that locations cannot be used for wedding photography or other activities that could negatively impact the visitor experience. However, visitors are not prohibited from taking their own photos.

The Hong Kong girl quickly tiptoed and gave it a kiss: "This is a home video camera, didn't you know? It's such a beautiful camera. We want to commemorate this romantic Disney trip. We're a couple!"

It was precisely at this critical juncture that, in the past, Europe and America had handheld 48mm personal film cameras, which were a way for photography enthusiasts to make their own short films. Many masters also started from this.

The handheld small home video camera hadn't yet shrunk to the size of the later pocket-sized device; it was still a scaled-down shoulder-mounted device.

It's all thanks to its bright red exterior that the staff scratched their heads, okay.

They even had Wei Dong film the architectural structure of the main hall.

Of course, they bought a lot too; they bought anything they thought they could learn from or imitate.

Wei Dong almost burst out laughing.

Bakelite could obviously be used to make panda and tiger pendants and keychains.

As for the various beautiful amusement park souvenir outfits, Qin Yuye was so excited that she ran around saying, "I can make these! These can be printed, and these can be put on the production line..."

While telling her to keep her voice down, Wei Dong blatantly filmed the pretty girl happily choosing clothes and jumping around in the fitting room to show off her new outfits.

Quite reasonable.

T-shirts, jackets, skirts, denim jackets, jeans, belts, hats, and even sneakers.

Of course, children's clothing goes without saying; I buy almost every category.

Even back in Hong Kong, you can buy similar products, but here they're basically just copying, changing the design to animals. Qin Yuye knew better than him: "There's an art academy near the zoo; they can hire artists to recreate cartoon animal portraits..."

Wei Dong also remembered: "I went to a comic book store yesterday and there seemed to be a few good ones with animal illustrations."

So just the shopping part at the amusement park took them almost two hours.

Wei Dong's camera batteries were all used up, and he quickly said that the spare batteries should be saved for filming the parade.

Use a camera to take more photos.

At this point, I finally realized that I should buy a better high-end camera so that I could capture a lot of details in distant scenes.

Qin Yuye cleverly thought, "Today I'll just take a quick look, and tomorrow I'll come back and examine it carefully from morning till night."

Given the current zoo project, it wouldn't be a bad idea to spend a little more time here.

Wei Dong agreed.

Qin Yuye was overjoyed, and a rare girlish demeanor constantly radiated from her face.

Of course, she let Weidong take the opportunity to take pictures of her, capturing those unique cartoon shopping kiosks, phone booths, and small shop designs.

Previously, working on the newly developed parts of the park, such as the restrooms, convenience stores, and security booths, completely drained Wei Dong's brain. He had a general idea of ​​what should be done, but he couldn't express it, let alone describe the details.

On the contrary, Qin Yuye helped come up with some ideas. Now that we have photos, Lao Geng has plenty of manpower to do it.

It was past four o'clock when I finally managed to leave the shopping area. I bought about five or six thousand yuan worth of things, which I had to leave here. I also left the camera battery here to charge.

Compared to the price of a keychain that costs around ten yuan, a Mickey Mouse doll that costs around thirty yuan, and an adult ticket that costs around fifty yuan, this purchasing power definitely earned them VIP treatment.

Then there's that towering tower that every Disney park has, right in the center of the flower. It's obvious that the design of the entrance to Uncle De's amusement park came from here, even if it wasn't the Tokyo station.

The other petals represent adventure parks for jungle exploration and steam train exploration;

A western-style amusement park with steamships and artificial islands;
A dreamlike amusement park with attractions like Cinderella Castle, a musical boat ride, and a double-decker carousel;

Tomorrowland features an indoor roller coaster, a space flight simulator, and a go-kart track.

This place, with an area of ​​49 hectares similar to Jiangzhou Zoo, received 10 million visitors last year!

The ticket revenue alone is over 100 million yuan!
She found the promotional materials herself and had Wei Dong calculate the exchange rate on them. The Hong Kong girl and the photographer were still surprised.

Is this business even possible?

From Wei Dong's perspective, this artificial amusement park was actually childish and rudimentary. The so-called Western-style amusement projects were largely just self-indulgent exploitation of the world's current admiration for Citibank.

In modern terms, it's about using the environment and staff to create emotional value, allowing adults to relive their childhood alongside the children.

At least your own zoo has some rare animals to see.

This place is purely staff-led games, pretending there are pirates and adventuring rapids, complete with various equipment, garden scenery, and a beautifully decorated fairytale world.

That amusement park of Uncle De's is absolutely awful.

The two only tried two or three projects before sitting on a bench for a "meeting".

Having been exposed to countless short videos from around the world, Wei Dong, now in his sixties, finds it difficult to immerse himself in such self-indulgence. Moreover, he has never been able to develop a sense of admiration for Citibank Amusement Park and easily detach himself to observe and learn from it.

Qin Yuye wouldn't complain that he had ruined her mood: "I really didn't expect this place to be so profitable. Why did Uncle De's amusement park close down? Oh, will this place gradually decline as well?"

Wei Dong shook his head. Of course he knew that Disney would continue to thrive forever, at least for the next forty years.

Even if you don't know why it's so popular or how popular it is, you just know it's a giant that has opened stores in Hong Kong and Shanghai. Young couples in the tax compound all aspire to take their children to Disneyland to fulfill their dreams, even though this aspiration has declined somewhat in the last few years.

But it's really popular.

"This place will definitely be constantly renovated and expanded to become more beautiful. But the important thing is that it doesn't make a lot of money from tourists. As long as it doesn't lose money, it's profitable. It's like putting up a huge billboard for free and then making money from other things."

This is typical internet economy thinking.

But Disney clearly figured it out decades ago.

This let Wei Dong know that Disney later became very successful in making movies and other things, but theme parks were not really the main source of revenue.

Qin Yuye, a man of wide experience, said: "Even the things sold in this park are just a drop in the ocean. Everything related to Mickey Mouse in the world has to be authorized for sale. How can you make money selling Mickey Mouse T-shirts all over the world?"

Wei Dong nodded: "We can't learn this yet, but look at Disneyland. It can attract hundreds of millions of people from all over Japan to come and visit. People from Hong Kong and Southeast Asia will also come, and even people from the mainland will want to come in the future. Uncle De's amusement park can't do this. Relying on the few tourists from Hong Kong, it will eventually decline. But our zoo seems to be able to learn this. Let the whole country know that this zoo is interesting. Even if people don't come specifically to play, they will at least come to see it when they are in Jiangzhou for business or study."

Qin Yuye pinpointed the key point: "Because you can advertise nationwide?!"

Wei Dong has gradually figured it out: "Yes, being able to advertise is one aspect, but we also need to build a reputation, a reputation that people find truly interesting. That is, to learn from the attitude of the Disney park staff. That is the essence of this amusement park."

He didn't even factor in the price difference for tickets.

More ruthless.
