Since the Christmas event planning is a large-scale event jointly organized by many merchants in Lulemall, and there are many foreign-funded enterprises in the commercial area where Lulemall is located, in foreign countries, Christmas is as important as the Spring Festival, and Lulemall has repeatedly urged that this event The importance is second only to the Spring Festival activities.

After the event proposal was established, Lu Pengcheng handed over some other projects at hand to the project manager, as long as he reported the progress to him regularly, and he himself focused more on Christmas event planning.

And I don't know if it's because of Fang Bining's inspiration in this project. When Lu Pengcheng followed the project process, he always had the illusion that he was still working with Fang Bining.Especially the idea of ​​a Christmas tree set in a square with hexahedral LED modules.

The irregular surface of the cone, which is more than ten meters high, is estimated to require more than a dozen CNC units alone.

Of course, Lu Pengcheng can also imagine how shocking the display effect of such a Christmas tree display built with all LED modules will be when the time comes, but most people may be afraid of the cost first. Fang Bining had such a bold idea.

Every shopping mall will make a fuss about placing Christmas trees on the square at this time of year. I remember that last year, one was built with environmentally friendly materials, and another shopping mall was an exhibition of a crystal brand. A 16-meter-high crystal Christmas tree was erected in the shopping mall lobby. In another mall, there is a bell-shaped, very fairy-tale Christmas tree, in short, all kinds of whimsy are used.

Tony reminded Lu Pengcheng that the cost of building such a tree may exceed the budget, but Lu Pengcheng still decided to use this idea, not only because no one has used this method before, but also because the entire square that day The layout plan must be coordinated with the two to achieve the best results.

Doing a good job in the next few Lulemall events will give them an advantage in fighting for the right to plan Lulemall's next year's events.

With the deepening of the Christmas event planning, the busy time has entered the winter unknowingly.

Although busy is still as busy as ever, more people choose to take their work home, even if there is air conditioning in the office.

Tony said that in the low temperature air, you still have to be in a humane place to feel warm.

Lu Pengcheng can't fully understand this sentence, he is the only one in his apartment, and the difference from the office is that there will be a bathtub in the bathroom, and the bed in the bedroom is more comfortable to sleep on. .

But occasionally when he was alone at night, he would think of the people who used to live in the apartment, his former girlfriends...and Fang Bining.

Especially the latter, after all, the project in hand still has his thoughts in it, the more the project is carried on, the clearer the feeling will be.

For example, the layout on the square, the floral design in the middle of the elevator, the themed scenery of the window... No matter how small the details are, it can be seen that Fang Bining's idea is there, and other designers added it later.

No wonder some people say that although cloth can be destroyed and books can be burned, ideas will never die.

So Lu Pengcheng would think, where is Fang Bining now, what is he doing... doing shopping activities?Or return to the Internet industry and continue to do Web-related work?

Whenever I see something on paper or at the event site, I feel familiar, and then Fang Bining's figure will appear in my mind.

At the beginning, Lu Pengcheng always tried his best to put his mind back to the business, but after a few times, he didn't do that, or it didn't make much sense to do that, as long as he was still doing this for a day. If Fang Bining's idea was modified from the event plan, then he would always think of it.

He would wonder why Fang Bining made such a design here, and when encountering a problem, he simply followed Tony's method at that time and asked those people to try to imagine how Fang Bining would solve it.

So the implementation of the plan that Fang Bining didn't really participate in actually seemed more and more like Fang Bining was handling it.

Lu Pengcheng also knew that going on like this was not an option. He had to find a new creative director quickly, or let the designers and planners rely entirely on their own ideas from the next event onwards. If you are trapped in your mind, absolutely not.

After entering December, the atmosphere of Christmas is getting stronger every day. It is obviously a western festival, but because of the hype of the merchants, this festival is also so important here.And the winter in this city is actually not too cold. Even in this season, girls dress brightly and are completely unaffected by the temperature.

Lu Pengcheng lifted the scarf up a little. The weather forecast said that there would be a strong cold air reward in the past two days.The leaves of the trees on both sides of the street have almost fallen, leaving only the bare branches trembling in the wind, which makes people feel a lot of depression.

The Christmas tree on the open-air square has been erected, and the pictures of Christmas in various places and the event announcement of the shopping mall are being played in a loop. Countless lines extend from the top of the Christmas tree, and a lost net is pulled out in the air more than ten meters away. LED lights are strewn haphazardly along the lines.

This web of routes extends all the way to the star-shaped arch at the entrance of the mall.As night falls, LED lights flicker, as if standing under the starry sky, the sky is full of stars, very warm and romantic.

Festive-style music is faintly coming from the mall. Although the weather is a bit cold, the mall is still very lively. Many people come here for discounted goods. The Santa Claus dressed up by the mall staff is carrying a big bag in the open air. Walking around the square, sending small gifts to passers-by.

Tony brought the process and asked Lu Pengcheng to confirm for the last time that the event will start at [-]:[-] pm. In order to promote the atmosphere of the whole event, they also set up some small mechanisms on the LED Christmas tree, which will be displayed when the time comes.

At this time, a lot of people had gathered in the square. It was less than an hour before the start of the Christmas themed event. Lu Pengcheng felt a little nervous for no reason. This feeling was just like before the opening event of Lulemall, probably because he was not sure.

Fang Bining came to Guangyan just for Lulemall.Fang Bining had done all the preliminary preparations for the October bridal event before, and the next Magic Wardrobe event was actually a promotional event for various brands. Guangyan just recreated a glamorous appearance for it.

And this Christmas themed event was the first event they did alone after the real Fang Bining left.Although there are still Fang Bining's ideas, but the implementation process is completely in accordance with their own ideas.

As the time for the event drew near, the picture on the LED Christmas tree turned into a group of children singing hymns, and other sounds in the open-air square fell silent, leaving only the innocent and sweet voices of children floating in the entire square.

Some people turned their heads to look at the Christmas tree. There were even some reporters who rushed over specially. Several passers-by on the street also stopped.

Lu Pengcheng lifted the scarf around his neck again. He wasn't very cold, it was just an unconscious move, which showed his uncertainty at the moment.

When the hymn on the LED display was about to end, the children lit the pyrotechnic sticks in their hands and slowly raised them to a higher place, sparks hissed and splashed. When the children raised the pyrotechnic sticks in their hands to the highest when……

Shila-

On the Christmas tree, where the pyrotechnic sticks in the hands of the children in the picture are connected, light up and ignite, and then the cremation is like flowing water, sliding down the Christmas tree in a spiral shape, and burning all the way to the ground of the square!

Immediately afterwards, fireworks were ignited everywhere in the square, and the decorative star on the top of the Christmas tree also lit fireworks. The entire Lulemall square seemed to be surrounded by starlight, and there was a circle of small Christmas trees around it, with various colorful decorations hanging on it. Under the little firelight, it looks like a fairy tale world.

Surprised expressions appeared on people's faces, and the reporter told the camera excitedly what happened in the square.When the last note of the hymn music fell, all the cremations were gradually fading away, followed by cheerful music, and the master of ceremonies announced loudly: "The Christmas Eve Carnival begins now!"

So the open-air square immediately fell into a sea of ​​joy.

After this joyful festive atmosphere, in a corner that no one noticed, Lu Pengcheng stood there, looking at the fading star on the top of the Christmas tree, clenched his hands into fists, trembling slightly.

When those cold fireworks were ignited one by one according to the expected route, he always felt that something was missing.It seemed to be a very successful start, but he was not happy because there was such a emptiness in his heart for no reason.

Something is missing, there must be something missing, but he can't think of what is missing, what is the sense of lack hidden under this bustling and lively appearance, what is it that makes him feel at this moment? Such restlessness.

Not long after the Christmas theme event ended, Lu Pengcheng recruited a creative director from another advertising company with a high salary through the connections of the boss of the group, and he was quite well-known in the industry.Lu Pengcheng had dealt with him once or twice, and he liked his ability and experience.

The new creative director is Andy, a Singaporean. He wears trendy clothes, speaks a bit broken Chinese, has a cheerful personality and is not lacking in humor. Within two days, he got to know designers and event planners very well.

The company, which was originally stagnant, showed some improvement due to the injection of new vitality. Sitting in the office, Lu Pengcheng could hear laughter from outside from time to time.

Andy is very familiar with the process of business activities, and he took over the project of Lu Pengcheng Company much faster than Fang Bining at that time, and he is also a very efficient person.

Generally speaking, Lu Pengcheng is very satisfied with Andy, and he also expressed in the conversation before Andy came to the company that he hopes to use Andy's ability to win all the annual activities of Lulemall next year.

Everything seems to be back on track again, but occasionally there will be a moment when Lu Pengcheng is busy, he will feel uneasy and empty in his heart inexplicably, but he just makes himself more involved in work , throwing this occasional feeling, which even he couldn't explain clearly, to the back of his mind and not to think about it.

Christmas is followed by New Year's Day and New Year's Day activities. Two days before New Year's Day, the women's clothing brand that had previously cooperated with Guangyan held a scarf and shawl runway show with the theme of "Embracing the Winter Sunshine in the Window" in Lulemall. , this is a show for mall visitors, and the runway is set up on the open-air plaza of Lulamall.

The project came temporarily and the time was short, and the experienced Andy led the designers to handle it with ease. On the square, props with ribbons and scarves were carved out of foam and decorated with soft warm colors. It looked like a huge piece of fabric from a distance. Fly in the square with the wind.

The scarves and streamers made of foam props extend to the back of the runway, forming a circle, like a door, through which the models come out.

The most special place is the makeup of the models under Andy's guidance, one color ice and snow makeup, white lip gloss, white eyelashes and eyebrows, the hair is also made silvery white with dye, ice blue smoke with pearlescent effect Smoked eye shadow, with rhinestones on the corners of the eyes, as if the bones are piled up with ice and snow, which forms a strong contrast with the whole theme, but it better highlights the scarves and shawls.

The on-site effect was very good. Lu Pengcheng watched the whole process, and couldn't help showing a satisfied smile at the end.

In the past, he felt that Fang Bining's talent could not be surpassed by others. He was also because of Fang Bining's talent. A person from the mall activities will serve as the creative director.

Although it did get a very good response in the end, after seeing Andy's work, he found that an experienced creative director can ignore such nihility as talent, and can also produce the effect that the client wants and achieve it very well. Performance.

Therefore, without Fang Bining, Guangyan can still do good activities.

Lu Pengcheng thought so, but felt that this idea seemed a bit cruel, and Guangyan was functioning well before Fang Bining came, why did he have to be obsessed with Fang Bining's importance to Guangyan.

Although he didn't dwell on this issue any further, Lu Pengcheng still felt that there was still a slight difference between the activities Fang Bining handled and the activities handled by Andy, and it was not clear what the difference was. What it is, Lu Pengcheng simply thinks that it is caused by his personal style.

In comparison, Andy is like a gorgeous combination of lights on the stage, dazzling and dazzling, which can bring unimaginable visual impact; but Fang Bining is like a warm burning flame, like a bright and warm but not hot Sunshine, and his works always give people a fresh and natural atmosphere like green leaves swaying in the breeze and sunlight, covered with dew.

As soon as the faint smile of the young man appeared in his mind, Lu Pengcheng couldn't help feeling the fiery beating in his chest.

According to the reaction on the day of the scarf and shawl stretch show, Lu Pengcheng predicted that the event on New Year's Day should also bring a lot of popularity to Lulemall.

Lu Pengcheng arrived at the venue very early that day, and the person in charge of the women's clothing brand was also there, so the two drank coffee and chatted in the cafe overlooking the open-air square.

A countdown clock is placed on the outer wall of Lulemall, like a huge mercury thermometer, every hour, a grid of LED lights will be lit, and when all the LED lights are on, a circular grid will be formed on the top. The LED light lights up one by one like a clock scale, counting down to the last minute.

From Lu Pengcheng's position, he was facing the countdown clock on the opposite side, and at the same time could clearly see the crowd in the square.

"Mr. Lu's team really did not disappoint us. The last scarf and shawl runway show was also very well done."

"It should." Lu Pengcheng accepted the other party's compliment generously, "I hope to have the opportunity to continue to cooperate in the future."

"I'm looking forward to it too, but..."

Lu Pengcheng couldn't help shaking his hands slightly, and ripples appeared on the surface of the dark brown liquid.

"I always feel that the two activities you helped me do are different. I don't know if the person in charge has changed."

Lu Pengcheng put down his coffee cup, "Yes, the original creative director submitted a resignation application due to some personal matters, but don't worry, the new creative director Andy, I think you should have heard of his name."

The other party smiled and nodded.

"I didn't say that the scene Andy did was worse than the previous one, but..." I looked sideways at the big countdown clock outside the glass window, "I like the previous one better, although the format is very simple and nothing special It’s outstanding, but it feels very comfortable, and Andy’s scene always felt that there were a lot of too commercial elements in it..."

The other party turned around and pushed his glasses, "But this is all my own feeling, our director is still very satisfied with these two activities."

Speaking of this, the other party's cell phone rang, he took out the cell phone and glanced at it, then smiled apologetically, "I have something to do, I'm leaving first."

Lu Pengcheng got up to see him off, but the other party waved his hand, and walked towards the door while answering the phone.

Lu Pengcheng sat back, picked up the coffee cup, and found that it was empty, so he asked the waiter to serve him another cup of black coffee, while he took the laptop he had brought with him.

There were live photos of the two events in the laptop, and he sat there looking at these photos carefully over and over again, not even noticing that the white smoke was no longer coming out of the coffee brought back by the waiter.

There were differences between the two events, and he could see this himself, but why did the other party say so clearly that he liked Fang Bining's event?

In his opinion, Andy's show was not inferior in terms of early stage creativity and on-site effects. It's probably just that the manager doesn't like overly commercial elements. In the future, Andy should pay more attention when accepting their projects.

After thinking this through, Lu Pengcheng came back to realize that the coffee on the table was already cold.

He leaned back, let his back stick to the soft sofa back, pinched the bridge of his nose with his hands, it was almost early morning, and he felt drowsy, but he had to watch the event here.

There are popular idols and bands invited to the square to help out, and there are many interactive programs, but I don't know if it is because of the sudden drop in temperature in the past two days, Lu Pengcheng always feels that there are not too many people in the square.

He thought, maybe they are shopping like crazy in the shopping malls now, taking advantage of the discounts, and it will be better when the climax of the countdown comes.

He moved the mouse randomly and closed all the open documents. The coffee shop provided free wireless network, so he opened MSN. He was not in a hurry to find someone, but just wanted to pass the last waiting time.

But the contacts on MSN are basically offline.

Think about it too, at this time, instead of welcoming the new year with your closest relatives, you should hide in the warm bed and sleep as usual without any business.

Lu Pengcheng dragged the scroll bar of the webpage, and saw that Shang Jie from Xunyang was still online. Shang Jie's signature seemed to have been changed, showing "Where are you..."

Lu Pengcheng moved the cursor over, and the entire signature was displayed. At this moment, the last LED light of the countdown clock on the opposite side also lit up, and at the same time, the LED light tubes arranged in the shape of a scale lit up one by one. , which means that she is approaching the bride every second.

The voice of the host calling for everyone to count down together was heard clearly, but Lu Pengcheng's attention was all on Shang Jie's signature——

Where are you?Umi misses you, I miss you too...

Lu Pengcheng seemed to hear his heart beating vigorously, and then faintly heard the countdown of people in the square.

"five four three two one!"

"Happy New Year!"

The last scale on the LED disc lights up, and the lights on the entire disc, together with the "thermometer" below, change different colors with the music.

Lu Pengcheng looked sideways out of the window, and Shang Jie's voice rang in his ears.

"Mr. Lu, you lost our miracle..."
