Chapter 376 The Big Wedding Begins
In the blink of an eye, there is only one day left until the wedding day, and it can be said that everyone knows about this wedding that cost 1 billion US dollars.
Starting last night, the ratings of major TV stations broadcasting Liu Zhiyuan's wedding began to soar, and big names from all walks of life began to attend.
This month's live broadcast not only allowed foreigners to understand some of the content of Chinese weddings, but also many Chinese people experienced such an authentic Chinese wedding for the first time.
The three books and six etiquettes, the words of the matchmaker, and the allusions about the marriage of a famous family began to spread around the world through this wedding... The ratings are getting higher day by day, and everything is going according to Liu Zhiyuan's plan.
Tsujimoto Kenzo and Nakamura Masaya, two third-party presidents belonging to the Han Dynasty, arrived very early and are now doing the job of welcoming guests. The reason is because they have no cards.
They are well-known third parties in the gaming industry, especially Capcom, which has inherited the title of the strongest third party in the Han Dynasty, but it also depends on the target of comparison.
Because relying on the elf relationship, GS and President Yuasa, who have gradually become the world's strongest battery company, are here.
World-renowned toy manufacturer and president of Bandai.
Sam Walton, the world's largest retailer and president of Wal-Mart, personally came to the door with gifts.
Computer industry upstart Microsoft director, billionaire Bill Gates and major shareholder Paul Allen.
Adidas' next CEO...
Coca Cola...
Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Ferrari...
It can be said that the leaders of companies that had cooperative relations with the Han Dynasty came in person, and those who couldn't come also sent the company's second-in-command.
Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Madonna, Teresa Teng... all the stars from the film and television industry were also present. Although these subjects who are usually chased by reporters for interviews cannot be said to be unattended at this wedding, they are incomparable in peacetime.
.
Reporters gathered around those corporate giants. This was a rare free interview. No one was allowed to interview during Liu Zhiyuan's wedding live broadcast.
Only the journey just before getting off the plane and arriving at the residence arranged by Liu Zhiyuan can be interviewed. These giants usually can't get close to them. They finally seize the opportunity and don't rush to interview. There are many opportunities for celebrities.
Most of the employees of the Han Dynasty came to help voluntarily. The person in charge of hosting the wedding was Ma Huateng, a decision that everyone opposed at the beginning.
The significance of this wedding is very important. Both the leaders in China and the employees of the Han Dynasty are not worried about Ma Huateng. The Chinese leaders are afraid that Ma Huateng will ruin Liu Zhiyuan's wedding, and all previous efforts will be in vain.
Except for a few employees of the Han Dynasty, none of them knew the significance of this wedding. They were simply afraid that Ma Huateng would make a joke, and the entire Han Dynasty would be embarrassed.
In the end, it was Liu Zhiyuan's insistence that Ma Huateng was not rushed to greet the guests, but he was always surrounded by a group of teachers studying ancient rituals.
Ma Huateng had actually backed down when he knew the significance of this wedding. It was too important. If something went wrong, he would really have no place in China.
Even if Liu Zhiyuan doesn't blame him and lets him take charge of China's business in the future, the country won't agree, but Liu Zhiyuan won't let him.
"Either go back to developing games, or just host this wedding safely. There is a huge gap between your responsibilities and Jack Ma's."
With these heart-wrenching words, Ma Huateng could only bite the bullet and continue. Now he is making up the common sense about ancient weddings every day, just for fear of making a joke.
September 1st is a good day for getting married, moving, traveling, praying...
Avoid, consecrate, dig wells, open positions...
"Mr. Liu, more than 200 million people around the world have watched your wedding..."
Liu Zhiyuan nodded, today is the last step, ten miles of red makeup, riding a sedan chair, crossing a brazier... a month of preparation will reach its climax today.
This month, it's not just Ma Huateng who has been cramming in the knowledge of ancient weddings, he is also doing it. It's really too troublesome, there are too many etiquettes, and each one is more complicated than the last.
But the more this happens, the more the sense of ceremony becomes more prominent. Anyway, he is probably the only one who can go through all the ancient rituals at the wedding, and it is just one time, so it will be over with patience.
"that..."
Looking at the hesitant Ma Huateng, Liu Zhiyuan frowned. Ma Huateng, who is also one of China's three Internet giants, is a bit different from Jack Ma at this age.
"It's time to get rid of bad luck."
Seeing Liu Zhiyuan frowning, Ma Huateng quickly said what he was holding back.
"I know, let people come in."
Liu Zhiyuan understood why Ma Huateng was hesitating. This step was actually a simple step, but in order to maintain the authenticity, he decided to follow ancient rituals throughout the process.
Where does the sense of ritual come from? It means that every step is taken care of, that every step is done to the extreme, and then the sense of ritual comes naturally.
Of course, some etiquette that seemed to be bad habits in the future were naturally abandoned, such as some things on the woman's side, such as the content of the bride getting an acupuncture, these were not included.
"Grandma-in-law, please come in."
A group of good-natured mothers in Hanfu came in with smiles upon hearing Ma Huateng's voice. They held pine and cypress branches in their hands and asked Liu Zhiyuan to take off his clothes as soon as they entered.
Even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he saw this scene. This was an important step for the groom before going out, bathing and changing clothes to ward off bad luck.
Those pine and cypress branches are used to remove bad luck. In fact, there are also such rituals now, but most of them are just a few symbolic sweeps. The ancient ritual is really exciting.
"Oh... Mr. Liu, why are you still standing? The time is coming, hurry up. It's not good to miss the time."
The corners of Liu Zhiyuan's eyes twitched. He was not afraid of being slapped a few times, but that the next scene would spread to the whole world.
"Plop..."
Liu Zhiyuan jumped into the barrel in the house wearing oversized underwear. The filming started from this moment. He is no longer in his previous home.
This is a new home, an antique courtyard covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters. Jin Shanshan and others will also be brought here, and this will be their home from now on.
"Snapped..."
"Snapped..."
"Snapped..."
Ma Huateng looked at the clearly visible blood marks on Liu Zhiyuan's back and kept smiling. He said he would not hold an authentic Chinese wedding in the future. It was too painful. However, this solemn and serious atmosphere did make people feel very formal.
The commentators also started working, especially since it was such a heavy-handed scene at the beginning. If they couldn't explain it clearly, they would think that Liu Zhiyuan had a masochistic tendency or that there was something wrong with ancient Chinese weddings.
"More vaccinations are better. More vaccinations can reduce disasters and diseases."
Liu Zhiyuan's grandma looked at her grandson being whipped in the bucket with a smile. Liu Zhiyuan's whole family is now in this small courtyard.
When Liu Zhiyuan was almost "washed", a group of good-hearted mothers-in-law began to change his clothes and cleanse his face, including a heart suit, a white lining, a red Xiulong robe, a long crown matching the color of the clothes, and finally a big flower.
