Chapter 391: Chapter 391

Yanghu Province was also considered a major tourist province.

This time, for the tourism push in the golden autumn of October, the provincial authority spent a significant sum—first, to improve the infrastructure of scenic spots, and second, to aggressively promote cultural tourism.

Many people saw the strategy at play.

With the economy persisting in its decline, the populace stopped buying houses, and their main consumptions could only be redirected towards food, drink, recreation, and entertainment.

The pressure to buy a house was too immense, whereas spending on food, drink, recreation, and entertainment was still affordable—this was simple logic. Of course, factors like housing surpluses or other elements were not up for discussion...

Due to the importance of cultural tourism consumption, all provincial propaganda departments and local regions were working feverishly to attract tourists and stimulate spending.

Especially the promotional video for the province's cultural tourism was a focal point. Once produced, it had to be heavily promoted by both traditional media systems and new media platforms.

Under these circumstances, the importance of the voiceover script became even more significant. Despite many revisions and consulting various experts, it was of no use; either one leader didn't like it, or another disagreed.

Finally, when Liu Zhizhong's draft appeared, it stunned everyone and was unanimously approved.

For the voiceover part, the original plan was to use the leading voice of the provincial station, but Feng Xiaoyue single-handedly overthrew this decision, strongly recommending Liu Zhizhong.

Such a situation was unheard of—where could you find a genius who was both a writer and a voiceover artist?

Some leaders still had reservations, but after hearing a casually recorded snippet of Liu Zhizhong's voiceover, not even using professional recording equipment, just recorded on a phone...

The leaders who had reservations were silenced, convinced, and even commented on how magnetic the voice was—not too strong, not too weak—just right for a man, magnetic and lively, penetrating eardrums and reaching into their hearts!

As a result, before the voiceover recording had even started, Liu Zhizhong had already made a great impression in front of the various provincial leaders. Everyone knew him: oh, he's a secretary working under the Yangzhou Zhang Family, the City Government Chief Secretary and the youngest daughter of the Zhang Family, with outstanding literary talent and top-quality vocal tone.

The promotional video for Yanghu Province's cultural tourism spanned five episodes, covering Yangdong, Yangxi, Yangnan, Yangbei, and Yangzhong, originally planned to be voiced by Liu Zhizhong in three days.

But this guy was exceptionally talented! ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝

In just one day, he made clear and perfect recordings.

What was even more astonishing was that he barely made any mistakes, completing everything in one breath. The voiceover followed the sample videos seamlessly, almost not needing to adjust the speed much during sound mixing.

Inside the recording studio, the staff, under the guidance of Feng Xiaoyue, listened, completely entranced by the voice—a male voiceover they had never heard before, utterly captivating.

In just one day, the recording was completed.

On the second and third days, post-production was finished.

On the fourth day, it was sent directly to the Provincial Committee's Propaganda Department for review.

The Provincial Committee's Propaganda Department, together with the Cultural and Tourism Bureau, the provincial television station, and other publicity units, organized a 200-minute internal first-listening session aimed at gathering feedback for further edits, before a unified, explosive publicity campaign.

This was the highest level of review, and Liu Zhizhong should have been called to attend.

However, Liu Zhizhong told Feng Xiaoyue that he wasn't feeling well and needed to have a medical check-up.

He kept his covert behavior intact, never mentioning that Qian Xuan had requested it, or that Song Zhe would come to collect him.

Feng Xiaoyue, who treated Liu Zhizhong like a treasure, naturally wouldn't allow anything to go wrong with his health, so she agreed, saying it was fine not to go to the Provincial Committee's Propaganda Department, and that she would explain on his behalf.

Feng Xiaoyue, a woman like that, was not domineering in front of Liu Zhizhong at all, quite accommodating, indeed making Liu Zhizhong feel very comfortable.

In reality, Liu Zhizhong's heart ached! This was a rare opportunity to make an appearance in front of the provincial heavyweights, he heard that the head of the Provincial Government and the Provincial Committee valued it highly and would attend personally. Other bigwigs from the Provincial Committee and the Provincial Government would be participating too, alas...

But Qian Xuan was like a sword hanging over Liu Zhizhong's head; who knew if not following his orders would lead to that sword falling and cutting off his head?

But Liu Zhizhong consoled himself, it was okay to lose the opportunity. After all, even if he didn't go, his work would, and the bigwigs would surely take notice of him—that was enough.

Consequently, the final review meeting for the Cultural and Tourism promotional video went ahead as scheduled; and after breakfast, Liu Zhizhong was once again picked up by Song Zhe, heading off for a medical check-up...
