These days, in Chongqing, in addition to the hot weather, netizens discuss more, I am afraid it is a "gorilla". In order to highlight his domineering power, the "gorilla", who is only a few stories high, unexpectedly sits capriciously on the edge of the building to play with petty bourgeoisie, with his left foot hanging down and looking at passers-by downstairs. A few days ago, its "deeds" were filmed and posted online, attracting a crowd of onlookers and discussion. In fact, this orangutan is a sculpture designed by a coffee shop in Shiqiaopu. Because of the preference for animal themes, there is a spectacular scene of 32 "horses" crawling all over the outer wall of a building in the cafe.

Explosive material

A gorilla appeared on the roof of the building along the street in Shiqiao shop.

"when I happened to pass by the Shiqiao shop, I found a gorilla. How cute!" Netizen "Little Sun's Big Sunshine" recently revealed on Weibo that there was a giant gorilla sitting on the roof of a street near Shiqiaopu subway station.

The reporter searched and found that recently, many netizens in Chongqing have distributed pictures and texts saying that they saw such a "gorilla" in Shiqiaopu.

From the pictures taken by netizens, the reporter saw that on the roof of a low-rise building near the street, a black "gorilla" was sitting on the edge of the roof. although its right leg sat cross-legged and its left leg dropped naturally, it still looked very tall. "altitude" is several stories high.

Looking closely at the gorilla, he saw that he was holding a teacup in his right hand and clinging his left hand to the edge of the roof. He looked serious and seemed to be looking at the passers-by downstairs. Because of its exaggerated shape and huge size, it looks domineering, very much like the orangutan in the movie King Kong.

"it's so shocking. I thought King Kong came back", "it just appeared recently, it's really domineering", "the design is not good, it's a little ugly, it's a little scary", "it's hard to advertise", "orangutans have added highlights to the city of steel and concrete, and they should support it." The appearance of "orangutan" has attracted many netizens' hot comments.

However, some netizens questioned that the "gorilla" was posted by PS. Netizen "this affection in mind" questioned, the floor is relatively high, the "orangutan" is so big, how does it get up there, does it use to fly?

Survey

It turned out to be a sculpture.

It was only recently installed.

According to the address said by netizens, yesterday morning, the reporter came to Shiqiaopu, just out of the subway station, saw the "gorilla" on the roof.

As netizens said, the "orangutan" is really huge, because of its black body and dignified facial expression, it does look a little scary. "We haven't seen it until recently, and it's still a little new." Xiao Wang, who lives nearby, told reporters.

"getting such a behemoth along the street is still bright and eye-catching, but the color is not good-looking and the design is not very distinctive." Tom, an interior designer passing by, commented.

Lao Yang, a nearby motorcycle driver, told reporters that the "gorilla" is actually a sculpture, which was installed only about a week ago because it was so heavy that a crane was deployed at that time. "after the installation, I still think it looks good, but if I see too much, I don't feel surprised. It seems that it was designed by a coffee shop near here." Lao Yang said.

Dispel doubts

The gorilla is 11 meters high.

It cost more than 500,000 to build.

According to the information provided by Lao Yang, the reporter went to a nearby animal-themed cafe and the staff confirmed that the gorilla was indeed designed and made by them and was not installed until late July.

Guo Ling, head of the cafe's marketing department, revealed that the cafe takes animals as its theme, and in order to highlight the corporate culture, the company's design team came up with the idea of designing such an orangutan sculpture. "in order to design its image, our team spent more than a year and revised it more than 10 times." Guo Ling said the sculpture, made of fiberglass, is 11 meters high and costs more than 500,000 yuan.

"the installation of the orangutan was approved by the municipal department and the property management department." Guo Ling said that as for safety, there is a bracket behind the orangutan, which is fixed on the roof with steel nails, which is very firm.

"because of the heavy weight, we specially used several cranes when we installed them." Guo Ling said that although the advertisements of the sculptures are suspected, they also hope that customers can see the corporate culture they want to express while appreciating it.

Climb 32 "horses"

"in fact, not only are there animals outside, but in the cafe, we also have some animal theme designs." Guo Ling said.

During the interview, Guo Ling took the reporter to the dam in the cafe, where there stood two "giraffes" more than 10 meters high. The tall giraffe is enough to attract attention, but what attracts more attention is a six-story building opposite the cafe, which faces a wall full of horses.

The reporter noticed that although these "horses" are of different colors, they are of the same size, and each horse is 1.8 meters high and looks very neat. The reporter counted that there were fully 32 "horses".

In addition, the wall on the other side of the cafe is also covered with animals, but not "horses", but color "orangutans", there are about 20.
