How do cafes that tell the same story and Wing Chun with weapons run cafes?

A friend once told such a story that he opened a cafe in Chaoyang District of Beijing and felt that the flow of people was good for a few months, but it was a loss. He looked carefully at the consumption list and found that many people stayed for a long time, but the consumption was almost zero, so he probably ordered a glass of lemonade.

He was very curious and observed in the store and found that such customers all had a common characteristic. There are always a few people talking about different projects in front of different people, but anything related to film and television will say that Zhou Xun, Fan Bingbing and Huang Bo have joined, but if it is related to the Internet, BAT has been optimistic about their project, and so on. Speaking of dry mouth, take a sip of water and ask the waiter to continue.

Seeing too much of this kind of scene made him feel almost magical realism that these stories could come true. Another friend smiled coldly and said, come on, if it comes true, why would they come to your cafe to order lemonade?

This situation, with a lyrics to describe very aptly, "the story is said to be yes, not also."

This is not to say that storytelling must be deceiving people. Under the current circumstances, if you don't tell a story, no one will like you at all. The wine is still afraid of the depth of the alley. In order to get people's attention, you have to throw out a red apricot, right? But they all tell the same kind of story, which makes people laugh.

A movie called "Master" will be released on December 11. if you only watch the theme of "Yongchun", you will certainly say, "Chee, how is Wing Chun endless?" from the "Ip Man" series to "the Grandmaster", Wing Chun seems to have become the only theme of recent Chinese martial arts movies. Isn't this a story of the same kind? But after the screening, the comments were very good on the one hand, and they all said they were very interesting.

Why?

Director Xu Haofeng made the simplest change. In our usual thinking, the inherent image of Wing Chun is to drive wooden stakes with bare hands, and it has no weapons. But this time, Liao Fan let them fight Wing Chun with weapons, and all kinds of cold weapons appeared, together with meticulous action design, which made people feel pleasing to the eye. Although the story structure is not novel, but with this different way of storytelling, it has taken the lead before it has been released. It is said that only in this way can we get closer to the historical facts, which shows that it is traditional thinking that kills people.

You said the director made a big adjustment? He just adds a new bifurcation to our usual mode of thinking, which opens up a new way and aesthetic way. This truth is not only common in movies, but also more applicable in the field of entrepreneurship. Instead of listening to you tell a new story that is not very reliable, it is better to enjoy an old story with a different ending.

If you can really tell a story.
