Chapter 683: Taobao
On the day of the carnival, we arrived at 7 a.m., and many tourists had arrived in Manga Island.
There was a long queue in the breakfast shop on the street. These tourists who came early were filled with seats inside and outside the store. There were also many people sitting on the benches on the street. In front of some animation puppets and statues, many people were taking photos.
"Let's have breakfast for everyone!" Meng Huo took Liu Yi to hand over the breakfast he bought in line to three young girls of the same age. Except for Chen Jie, everyone who played Go together that night was present, and they were obviously still a little unwilling to let go.
"Meng...what should you do at your job?"
Liu Yun asked. She wanted to call Meng Huo's name, but when she saw the people on the street, she still couldn't say it. Meng Huo was wearing casual clothes, a ding hat and glasses, pretending to be a trendy college student, and his speech changed his voice and color. No one around realized that he was He Xi.
The reason why he was with these people was to fulfill his previous promise to take them to play.
And this is also the advice given to him by other people in Phoenix Company, especially Alice. She said that since it was a meeting at the next location, it would be better to let him play it by himself in the spare time. Alice also wanted to take this opportunity to let Meng Huo watch the carnival as an ordinary tourist, which may be useful for him to maintain his interest in comics.
Of course, Meng Huo didn't know what she was thinking. He just felt that it was just right. Anyway, there was no fixed job, so it would be better to find those friends to stroll together, and these few people could also serve as his cover and would not be easily discovered.
"It's okay, I don't have a job." Meng Huo said while walking with bread and milk. It's not uncommon for five young people to be on the street. Tourists are all in groups. No one else looks at them.
This time Meng Huo came out to play with the privilege. He canceled the jobs of several people and changed to a new job. The new job was to play with him, and then he helped him hide his identity.
"Let's change the road, there are reporters over there..."
Han Xuan noticed that there were several reporters in front and a cameraman was filming on the spot. Meng Huo looked at it: "It doesn't matter, just walk like this. The road is closest to the Phoenix Pavilion. If it is to bend, it's very far."
He walked over there disapprovingly. Then he walked past the reporters who were filming. These reporters were interviewing a tourist, and Meng Huo looked at the sign on their instrument, which was Su Hua TV Station.
This carnival attracted a lot of media participation, but Su Hua and Tokyo are the most special. They not only put the carnival situation into the morning and evening news, but also broadcast it on the Internet channel for a long time and participate in a large number of activities.
The online channels of these two TV stations have been connected to the He Xizhi Home Forum. Readers who were unable to come to the carnival can watch this grand event online. Meng Hu and the others went to the Phoenix Hall, and Chen Jie will perform at the Phoenix Hall today, and they are going to buy tickets.
"But there are too many people!"
When they arrived outside the Phoenix Pavilion, Liu Yun was stunned. The Phoenix Pavilion had not opened yet, but the queues outside the two ticket windows had already lined up for dozens of meters. Many tourists were eating breakfast in the team, and they all came to buy tickets.
As the two official events of Phoenix Company, every tourist will not miss the voice actor performance and cartoonist signing meeting, but because these two events will continue during the carnival, there are many opportunities, and the queuing scene still surprised Liu Yun.
"There are many people over there, so I can't queue up!" Liu Yi looked at the other side. There were also many people outside the place where the cartoonist signing party was visible to the Phoenix Pavilion, and there were no fewer people than here.
"Why are they all so early?" Meng Huo was also surprised. He felt that he had already gotten up and met up very early. The carnival started at around 8 o'clock, so it was more than enough to buy tickets. Why are these tourists earlier?
It is also obvious that many tourists came from hotels outside Manga Island, and some people squinted their eyes to sleep while queuing.
"What should we do? Do we want to buy tickets?"
Li Yu asked Meng Huo.
Meng Huo shook his head: "I won't buy it."
Tickets for the concert were bought one by one, one for one hour, but judging from this team, the number of people in the first game must be full. Even if you queue up, you have to wait until the second game, which is only around nine o'clock before you can enter.
It's only seven o'clock now, and I'm queuing for two hours, Meng Huo doesn't have this patience.
"What a pity, Chen Jie will appear in the first game." Han Xuan felt a little regretful. She worked in the Phoenix Pavilion and knew that Chen Jie and several famous actors would appear many times today, especially the first game they would appear together, making the opening of the carnival even more lively.
Meng Huo was also a little sorry, but he didn't want to use his connections to go through the back door of the Carnival. Only like an ordinary tourist can he know the real fun of the Carnival, and then realize the shortcomings and improve it later.
"Then go to another place to have a look!" His eyes lit up again. There were so many tourists from the signing party and the Phoenix Pavilion. Doesn't this mean that the number of tourists in other places is still relatively small now?
"Where do you go?" Liu Yi asked curiously: "Nowhere is open now!"
"No, there is a place open." Meng Huo shook his finger: "Fan Renzhan."
The Fan Exhibition on Manga Island is the only event that is not official or organized by merchants. Phoenix Company officially only provides venues and some security, and specific activities are arranged by comic readers and fan creators themselves.
The venue for the fan exhibition is not a guild hall, but a relatively remote large open space with no buildings and only stalls. It is very simple, but it is green and surrounded by trees. It is a very beautiful open space.
"We originally wanted to make a football field here."
When I brought a few young people to the open space, Meng Huo explained that this area was a place where the Suhua Municipal Government prepared to build a football field before Phoenix Company arrived.
After Phoenix Company settled in, it once considered what to do with this place, but because it was far from the main road area, it was not developed yet. Originally, Meng Huo planned to put the fan exhibition in the amusement park, but the number of tourists in the amusement park may be the largest in Manga Island. Finally, I think about it, this area is better to have a clean open space.
When they arrived, many simple parasols had been erected on the grass, and dozens of fan painters had put their works on it, but because it was early, there were still many empty spaces that were empty and no one occupied it.
The number of tourists is not large now. Meng Huo saw several editors from the editorial department. He believed that Zhongxia and other companies also had comic editors to pay special attention to this place because it is very likely that there will be potential cartoonists.
"Let's go to Taobao!"
