CHAPTER 635: CHAPTER 195: [RETURN TO THE DOMAIN REALM] (6100)_3

His organizational skills and planning ability are really strong.

Yeah, but when it comes to relationships, his taste in women is a bit off.

"Take for example, a hugely popular show, like ’Huan Huan’s Tale’, right! So many people have watched it! There are still tons of parody videos of this drama on TikTok now! It shows that such a phenomenal script has national reach and has deeply rooted itself in people’s hearts!

If I were to start a business like this, like organizing a Hengdian tour for a few days.

Not a sightseeing tour, but letting tourists wear the costumes from Huan Huan’s Tale—anyway, it’s just Qing dynasty drama costumes, the costume and prop companies over there have them ready, stored in warehouse after warehouse, available for rent.

There are also filming companies for photography and stuff, all ready-to-go!

In the film city, even palace scenes are available! Renting them is really cheap.

I would let tourists wear the costumes from Huan Huan’s Tale, and each tour group acts as a crew, with prices in different tiers.

For those who pay more, the females get to play Huan Huan, or Consort Hua and the Empress, and the males would play the Fourth Prince. For those who pay less, they can play characters like An Lingrong or Shen Meizhuang... males can play someone like Dr. Wen.

Following the script, in the palace scenes of the film city, the tourists in a tour group gather together and perform on the spot, while a photographer captures the moments nearby.

We can’t afford a film-level photography team, so we use the cheapest option. It’s all about the fun for everybody, so it doesn’t matter if the quality is rough, as long as the tourists are happy.

Finally, it gets filmed and given to the tourists to keep as a souvenir!

If you like Huan Huan’s Tale, you sign up for the Huan Huan’s Tale tour. If you like ’Drawing Swords’, then sign up for that tour.

If you like ’Riding the Wind’, you can join the Riding the Wind tour, and if you pay enough, you can play once as Gao Qiqiang, or even the Frozen Fish Brother!"

As he spoke, Zhao Shanhe got excited, he grabbed Chen Yan’s arm, grinning: "Bro, just think back when we watched ’Riding the Wind’, when Gao Qiqiang said, ’Tell Old Mo, I want some fish...’ how cool was that!

Let you stand in front of the camera and act it out yourself! I’m telling you, how awesome would that be!"

Chen Yan’s eyes lit up.

This damn thing, isn’t it just like setting up a bootleg film crew, and then organizing tourists to play a [large-scale immersive all-element real-life role-play murder mystery]?!

"I estimated the costs, with a regular tour group, four-day Hengdian trip—I can charge four to five thousand per person, and still split the profit in half!

Plus, no one else can do this business, only my family can! The resources needed, like renting costumes and props, renting filming locations, renting filming equipment, hiring photographers... these connections, my family can get them done! My family is in this business after all!"

Chen Yan looked at this brother with some admiration.

Zhao Shanhe chuckled: "I’ve thought it over many times myself, even wrote several versions of the business plan, planning to start as soon as I graduate! My parents are planning to support me too.

Bro, I know you’re doing well financially now too. If you are interested in investing, I’ll save you a share, I guarantee we can make money! If we lose, I’ll cover it, and give you back your principal, if we earn, it’s yours! I don’t care about anything else, just want us bros to stay tight, not lose touch after graduation. If you’re willing to join, it’d be like us starting a business together."

Zhao Shanhe left, very peacefully.

Four days later, he got his diploma after the graduation ceremony, carried his already packed luggage, and got on the high-speed train back to his hometown.

Chen Yan didn’t see him off, but the next day after drinking that night, Chen Yan transferred one million to Zhao Shanhe. As for the company registration and investment share contracts, Chen Yan didn’t worry, just left it to Zhao Shanhe to handle it and mail it to him for signing when done.

When Zhao Shanhe boarded the high-speed train back to his hometown...

Chen Yan was already standing at the foot of Snow Cliff Pass.

After handing over the Brotherhood’s money plate to the guards, this thing could serve as an entrance token at Snow Cliff Pass.

Chen Yan stepped onto the mountain path again.

The warm and humid air inside the mountain, felt somewhat muggy.

Chen Yan walked through the tunnel in the mountain based on his memory, hesitated a bit after passing an Alchemy Workshop, then strode away.

Soon, he reached the Brotherhood’s base.

As soon as he walked through the cave door, he saw that quite a few people were sitting at the tables in the shop, about half the tables were occupied.

The noisy chatter and the aroma of food, mixed with the smell of alcohol, hovered in the shop, unable to disperse.

As Chen Yan walked in, a few guys at the closest table to the door looked up at him, one of them a buff bald man, squinted his eyes for a couple of seconds, then laughed loudly: "Little brother 135 is back!"

Hearing this nickname, Chen Yan’s face twitched.

But that shout caught the attention of others, and soon enthusiastic greetings came from all the tables in the shop.

"Little brother 135!"

"Chuyi brother!"

"Come, come, little brother 135 is back! Come drink with us!"

Seeing so many "big brothers" in the shop, Chen Yan felt a bit overwhelmed, but still took a deep breath, smiled, and greeted everyone with a bow, calling everyone bro, whether he knew them or not.

Just as he reached the counter, the proprietress Ruyi twisted her waist as she came out from behind the counter and lightly patted Chen Yan’s shoulder with one hand.

"Good brother, you’ve been away for so long, all the brothers have missed you!"
