Chapter 709, Mexico's Day of the Dead!(2/2)

At this time, Slvo thought of introducing them to each other, so he said, "Encos, this person is..."

"I know, I understand!"

Encos didn't have time to chat anymore, and looked at his watch and said, "Servo, it will be two o'clock in the afternoon, right? I don't want you to be late, I'll leave first!"

"Why……"

Looking at Encos's hurried departure, Servo spread his hands helplessly and said to Li Zhifan, "That's how they are, they often fight. If it weren't for their fight, Gale Studio might have integrated into one of their teams long ago."

"oh!"

When Li Zhifan heard this, he realized that there was something else going on here!

...

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

All participants appeared in the conference room on time.

Servo and Li Zhifan arrived last, but it was not later than two o'clock, which is enough to show that everyone's concept of time is still very strong.

Seeing Li Zhifan come in, many people were stunned, especially Matthew and Encos, and they couldn't help but wonder, isn't this guy a chef? Why did he also attend the meeting?

Could it be sent by Oriental Group?

Or is Servo's newly hired Chinese assistant?

"Everyone!"

Servo clapped his hands and said, "This is Li Zhifan, the new general manager of William Entertainment. Come here to inspect it today. At the same time, we have new businesses that will be launched under the guidance of Li Zhifan."

“…”

The people below immediately looked at each other, and some even muttered in a low voice.

Encos leaned on the back of the chair, looked at Li Zhifan, his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

Long before today, he got news from William Entertainment that a new general manager is about to take office and is still a Chinese star.

However, he always feels that celebrity artists cross-border as general managers, especially Chinese, are probably just here to check accounts? As for cooperation, what kind of cooperation can be achieved?

"Hello everyone! I'm Li!"

Li Zhifan did not say his name, but simply said a name, "Everyone is busy, time is the most important thing, so I will tell you a long story short and briefly talk about the purpose of my visit this time."

Servo had already sat down and signaled that Li Zhifan could sit down and say.

But Li Zhifan didn't, and still stood up and said, "I came to Fantasy Factory this time to create an animated feature film with everyone. This is also the purpose of Oriental Group's acquisition of Fantasy Factory. With the injection of powerful funds, we will give full play to everyone's abilities and create more classic works."

After a pause, Li Zhifan said: "Do you all know about Mexico's Day of the Dead?"

"I know!"

A employee below raised his hand and said, "According to the Aztec calendar, the names of two consecutive months of 20 days in January are "Young Spirit Day" and "Growing Spirit Day". Together, two months seem to form a long-term celebration of the dead. In the early sixteenth century, Spain conquered the Aztec Empire and occupied the current Mexican area. Due to religious and political reasons, they forced the indigenous people to convert to Catholicism. The festivals introduced by the missionaries include "All Saints Day" and "All Spirit Day", respectively November 1 and 2. Indigenous people incorporate their traditional culture into these two festivals to commemorate the dead. So the Dead Day became a unique mixed product of these two festivals."

"Yes, this is the official explanation!"

Li Zhifan said, "In a simple sentence, the Day of the Dead is the product of the combination of Indian culture and Spanish culture dominated by Indian indigenous culture. I want to know, are there Mexicans present?"

The circle of people below shook their heads, but no one raised their hands.

"Yeah, it's a pity."

Li Zhifan continued, "In Mexico, every year on the Day of the Dead, people pay homage to the dead, but there is no sorrow. They even sing and dance all night long, intending to celebrate the festival with their dead relatives."

"People sprinkled yellow petals on the way to the village or town of the cemetery, allowing the undead to return along the fragrant path. In the evening, pumpkin lanterns are lit at the door of their homes to guide the undead; on the altar are offerings such as corn soup, chocolate, bread, rice dumplings, hot sauce, pumpkin, sweets, desserts and other offerings for the undead to enjoy."

"The bread on the Altar of the Day of the Dead is different from the bread that is usually eaten. Different shapes have different meanings. Some represent ghosts, some represent the cycle of life; some are made into the shape of a thousand-layer cake with decorated bread, intended to welcome the return of the dead. During the festival, men, women, young and old can wear masks, wear ghost clothes with bones printed on them, and sway across the street to indicate the return of the dead."

"The Day of the Dead is a festival held by the Mexicans for those who are no longer with them. It is not a sad festival, but rather a festival full of colors. People use food and other things to set up altars for the dead, play music in the cemetery, and write poems to make fun of each other. So the Day of the Dead Music Festival was derived."

"My arrival this time is to create a musical animated feature film based on this theme!"
