Chapter 387

"Lord Hanxiao!"

"You're back...have you got your things?"

Abedo, who turned his head like Shaoyin, simply said hello, and then asked questions that concerned him more.

"Mr. Shaoyin, you don't have to be so formal. Just be more casual."

Han Xiao first nodded to Shaoyin, and then took out the film materials shot by Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun and the others from Yuperii.

"The materials are all here. You can start working later."

"Although Mr. Shaoyin is self-taught, he has a good foundation and has his own experience in the application of images and colors, so he is a good helper."

Seeing that Han Xiao had brought back all the materials, Abedo directly expressed his opinion without caring about Shaoyin's presence.

"Master Abedo has given you the award!"

Hearing Abedo's evaluation of herself, Shaoyin also scratched her head in embarrassment:

"If the master hadn't helped me perfect the lens language, I wouldn't have discovered some of the problems myself."

"These are just minor flaws. Just correct them after you notice them."

"Albedo is right. I have also watched the video editing you made. It does have its own style."

Han Xiao on the side also echoed Abedo.

Shaoyin's work is very similar to the high-inflammation stream-of-consciousness AMV clips he had seen in his previous life. Although the technique is a bit immature, it is not easy to be able to make such a thing by self-study in the continent of Teyvat.

"Hanxiao, let's get down to business."

Seeing that Han Xiao was also very satisfied with Shaoyin's work, Abedo pointed to the pile of film materials that the other party had brought out.

"We don't have much time."

"Okay, let me briefly explain it to you two first."

Seeing Shaoyin's confused look, Han Xiao cleared his throat and talked about his and Ningguang's thoughts:

"The reason why there are so many changes in this Hailantern Festival party is mainly because Ningguang, myself, and the other Qixing want to take this opportunity to show off Liyue's heritage."

"And the reason for doing this... is because the emperor passed away."

Speaking of this, Han Xiao raised her eyes and looked at Abedo, and tacitly chose to conceal the issue of Zhongli's fake death, so as not to let Shaoyin find out the clues.

"Although there is relative peace among the seven countries, and Mondstadt and Liyue have been allies for thousands of years, there are some problems we have to face."

"Because Lord Yan is no longer here... right?"

After listening to Han Xiao's explanation of the reasons why he and Ningguang proposed to change the Hailantern Festival party, Shaoyin's expression became much silent.

He probably understood what the other party meant.

In the past, because Liyue had the protection of Prince Yan, merchants from other countries did not dare to cause trouble in Liyue.

But now that Prince Yan is gone, some people have thoughts that they shouldn't have.

"The Wind God of Mondstadt has been missing all year round, so we understand the trouble best."

Seeing that Shaoyin vaguely understood the inner story, Abedo followed Han Xiao's eyes and continued the topic:

"In addition, Mondstadt and Liyue have been allies for thousands of years, so the two parties have signed an offensive and defensive alliance on this issue."

When he said this, Abedo didn't feel the slightest bit guilty.

The reason is simple, because he really means it.

Who made the gods of their two countries so... Let's use the word 'free and easy'.

Wendy, the drunkard Fengshen, simply left Mondstadt's affairs to the people of Mondstadt, and was unwilling to interfere at all.

Therefore, Mondstadt's situation in the Seven Kingdoms has always been the most troublesome. Many businessmen come to Mondstadt without much awe.

Now that Emperor Yanwang has chosen to fake his death, Liyue Mingmei is no longer blessed by the gods just like Mondstadt.

Although it hasn't caused much trouble yet, Qixing is not willing to allow businessmen from other countries to cause trouble in Liyue in the future.

"that is the truth."

After Abedo finished speaking, Han Xiao took over the topic and looked at Shaoyin seriously:

"The format of the Hailantern Festival will change. On the one hand, Ningguang and I really feel that we should inject some fresh vitality into the Hailantern Festival. On the other hand, we also want to use this to unite the hearts of the people in Liyue and from the side to other countries." The country shows our Liyue heritage."

"Tell them that even without the emperor's blessing, we Liyue people are capable of resisting the invasion of the demon god."

After a slight pause, Han Xiao looked at Shaoyin, who seemed a little uneasy because she had learned many secrets at once, and continued:

"I'm telling you so much because I have to let you know that Qixing is very interested in this Hai Lantern Festival, so please Mr. Shaoyin take this job seriously."

"Yes, please don't worry, Lord Hanxiao!"

After hearing Han Xiao's instructions and understanding the cause and consequences of the incident, Shaoyin quickly raised her hands and swore.

"I will definitely use my utmost energy to do this job well!"

"That's good."

Han Xiao nodded slightly, then took out a movable whiteboard and wooden frame from Jade Perry and placed them in the center of the living room.

And he took out a marker and wrote and drew on it in front of Shaoyin and Abedo.

After doing all this, Han Xiao turned to the two of them and began to explain the specific arrangements for the party that he and Ningguang had made.

"Let me first tell you what Ningguang and I think."

"First of all, the coverage of this Hai Lantern Festival Gala is the entire territory of Liyue, so we must have a head-start opening. This is also the first work we want to produce."

"Secondly, for many of the evening's programs, our video editing must be presented to the public in conjunction with the stage design and lighting. It just needs to be attractive, and there may also be some touching works."

"As for the end, we also have to have a perfect closing work."

After finishing his and Ningguang's general thoughts, Han Xiao looked at the thoughtful Albedo and Shaoyin and asked:

"That's about it for now. You've all heard it. Who wants to express your opinion first?"

"I'll go first."

After taking a look at Han Xiao's picture on the whiteboard, Abedo took the lead and said:

"I have led a party before, and I have some experience in choreography and lighting. Just leave it to me."

"Okay, then I'll leave this to you."

Hearing Abedo's words, Han Xiao nodded to agree with the other person's idea, and then he looked at Shaoyin:

"Mr. Shaoyin, what do you think?"

“What are the requirements that need to be met for the opening work?”

Abedo took over the choreography and other tasks, and the remaining opening and closing were very important. Since Han Xiao chose him, he would simply challenge the most difficult opening work.

Chapter 626 The Hai Lantern Festival is coming

After the division of tasks was completed, Han Xiao and the others started working intensively on designing the first draft of the plan, selecting suitable projection materials, and other work.

For a time, Abedo’s residence became a temporary studio for the three of them.

During this period, Xingqiu also came to check on the progress of several people.

Seeing that Han Xiao and the others were busy, he didn't bother them. He only made a rough estimate and reported the general situation to Ningguang.

While Han Xiao and the others were working intensively, time also passed by little by little.

Soon, the Lantern Festival arrived.

...

On the day of the Lantern Festival.

The streets and alleys of Liyue Port are crowded with people. People who have worked hard for a year come out of their homes to enjoy the leisure time of the festival.

The colors on both sides of the street are much brighter than in the past, and red lanterns symbolizing good luck are hung in front of each store.

Children were laughing and playing in groups on the roadside, and even the merchants who still had stalls during the festival had put on brand new clothes.

No matter men, women, old or young, everyone has a cheerful smile on their face.

In the streets, which were like a tidal flow of people, Ying and Paimeng, who hurried to Liyue Port, could not help but be attracted by the lively scene in front of them.

The reason why they hurried back was because they had just accepted a few tasks from the Adventurers Association a few days ago. After completing them, they realized that there was not enough time, so they hurried back.

"Oh my god, it's so lively!"

Looking at the shops with lights and colorful decorations on the roadside and the Liyue people wearing new clothes, Paimon couldn't help but sigh loudly:

"No matter how I feel, it's more lively than when I invite the immortal ceremony!"

"really..."

Hearing Paimon's emotion, Yingmei nodded in agreement.

She somewhat understood why this happened.

The ceremony to invite the immortal is indeed grand enough, and it is indeed a very important festival in Liyue.

But how can I put it, besides being able to see the emperor, the invitation ceremony is more like a carnival for businessmen.

After all, every year when the Immortal Ceremony is invited, Lord Yan will show up to give guidance on the development direction for the coming year.

For businessmen, this is an opportunity, but for ordinary people, it is not very important. Therefore, there are many people in Liyue who do not choose to participate in the Immortal Invitation Ceremony because they are tired of seeing it.

But the Lantern Festival is different.

This is a festival used by Liyue people to celebrate the end of the year and the arrival of the new year.

At this time, Liyue people will put down their work and choose to gather with family and friends to celebrate the festival.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Hai Lantern Festival is more lively than the Fairy Invitation Ceremony.

"So that's it!"

After listening to Yingmei's explanation, Paimon's little face also showed an expression of sudden realization.

But soon, she put this matter behind her and pointed to the stalls surrounded by children on the street with a little excitement and said:

"Ying, look, there's a candy seller there, let's go buy some too!"

"etc!"

Yingmei stretched out her hand and grabbed Paimon's collar to pull him back, and then pointed in the direction of eating the tiger:

"Let's hand in the mission first!"

"Oh yes, I almost forgot that we still have tasks to hand in."

Remembering that they still had unfinished tasks, Paimon looked back with some reluctance and glanced at the candy seller's stall over there, and then quickly urged Yingmei:

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go find Catherine!"

Soon, Ying and Paimon arrived at the Adventurers Association at Tiger Rock.

"Happy Lantern Festival, Catherine!"

"Happy Lantern Festival, Paimon and the Traveler."

Catherine, who still went to work even during the Lantern Festival, smiled and nodded at the two of them.

"You are here to hand in a mission, right?"

"Um."

Yingmei took out the mission voucher and handed it to Catherine, and she was also a little curious:

"Miss Catherine, won't you have a rest during the Lantern Festival?"

After taking the voucher and comparing it carefully to confirm that it was correct, Catherine took a pen to make notes in the task list and casually explained Yingmei's doubts:

"During the Sea of ​​Lantern Festival, there are also many adventurers who cannot make it due to time issues, and there are many unexpected tasks, so the Adventurer Association will operate as usual even during the Sea of ​​Lantern Festival."

After saying that, Catherine took out the reward that had been prepared from the cabinet on the side and handed it to her:

"Traveler, this is your reward."

"Thanks."

"By the way Traveler."
