Chapter 16

But this question is essentially like pitting Guan Yu against Qin Qiong.

No result can be reached from the discussion.

Yet, it is capable of sparking such large-scale heated debate.

Without a doubt, Xu Feng has thoroughly brought Aizen to life.

Coupled with the current era of traffic, other dramas are truly too lackluster.

Once Aizen appears, it is simply a cross-dimensional dimensionality reduction strike against characters from other dramas!

……

……

Many people feel that in this current era, costume martial arts dramas have already declined.

Xu Feng feels this statement is incorrect.

Martial arts dramas of the fighting variety have indeed declined, but costume dramas have not.

It is just that the style has changed from upholding justice to falling in love……

Fatty often complains to him about this.

It’s all damn Chenxiang’s fault; ever since he changed the heavenly laws, all immortal-hero dramas have turned into romance dramas.

Ahem, but Xu Feng does not want to deal with these messy affairs.

He just wants to create an alternative two-dimensional era.

He has no interest in carrying the heavy burden of domestic dramas.

Just as Jay Chou cannot save the Chinese music scene.

He, Xu Feng, cannot save domestic dramas either.

“Lord Aizen, the goods you ordered are ready.”

At a certain tool manufacturing factory in Hengdian.

A young man asks Xu Feng for instructions timidly.

Xu Feng is speechless; he feels like Old Lady Li, who played Rong Momo in *My Fair Princess* back in the day.

Walking on the street, no one knew her real name; they would only call her “Rong Momo.”

However, Xu Feng’s treatment is still better than Old Lady Li’s.

One must know that when *My Fair Princess* was a nationwide hit, she had eggs thrown at her while walking on the street.

No one dares to throw eggs at Xu Feng, perhaps fearing that he might draw Kyoka Suigetsu and treat them to a “Complete Hypnosis.”

Xu Feng turns his head to look at the shipping container placed in front of him.

Opening the lid, inside are packed full of…… Zanpakuto!

That’s right, Zanpakuto!

Of course, these things are props with absolutely no offensive capability.

Xu Feng nods in satisfaction and says to the staff:

“Thank you for your hard work, I will transfer the money immediately.”

“Not at all, Lord Aizen, it is our honor.”

Several young men say with excitement.

Xu Feng: “…………”

Can you please stop calling me “Lord Aizen”?

That night, Xu Feng takes out his phone and posts a blog entry:

【The world’s first *Bleach* merchandise experience store will begin operations this weekend】

Under the blog title, it also includes the store’s location and interior decorations.

Inside, it is filled with props identical to those used by the Soul Reapers in the show.

Among them, the most eye-catching are none other than the Shihakusho and the Zanpakuto!

Time to start raking in the money!. ===== CHAPTER 35 =====

As soon as Xu Feng’s Weibo post goes live.

The celebrities following him and countless fans receive the push notification immediately.

When seeing the two characters for “merchandise,” Hu Ge, Yang Mi, and others are stunned for a moment.

After all, this parallel world does not yet have the concept of “two-dimensional,” and they fail to understand the meaning of these two characters for a moment.

However, after clicking into the push notification to take a look.

Everyone understands.

Is it just mass-producing crew props to sell?

To be honest, this is nothing rare; it’s already rotten on Taobao.

However, when Hu Ge and the others click on the blog post and see the prices of these Shihakusho, Zanpakuto, and other props.

One by one, they are all dumbfounded.

Those three-digit, or even four-digit price tags.

Leave even these celebrities stunned.

No, do you have to be this greedy?

You have to know that the knock-offs on Taobao are only priced at 99!

Celebrities with martial arts backgrounds like Qiao Zhenyu and Jiao Enjun are very clear about the cost price of these props.

The cost price of many of these things is only two digits.

Damn, Xu Feng directly prices them at four digits!

A price hike of nearly a hundred times!

Isn’t this a bit too greedy?

However, clicking into the comment section below to take a look.

The main cast of the *Bleach* crew is dumbfounded again.

【Holy crap! The official side has finally taken action! I can finally go buy a Zanpakuto!】

【As a die-hard fan, I’ve always struggled with whether to buy those knock-offs on Taobao; I didn’t expect the authentic ones to arrive while I was hesitating!】

【This Shihakusho is too handsome, right? Only 998? Must get one!】

【It’s 1588 with the Captain’s Haori? This price is reasonable, I’m buying it!】

【Why is it only in Shanghai? Good thing it’s summer vacation, I’m buying a plane ticket to go there overnight!】

Seeing these comments, Hu Ge and the others feel a bit confused.

No, no, don’t you guys think there’s a problem with this price?

This isn’t a high-end brand like Nike, Adidas, or even Dior.

Selling at such a high price, don’t you think it’s unreasonable?

Regarding this, Xu Feng indicates that you 3D people simply don’t understand the purity of the 2D world.

Just like brands like Chanel.

For fans, *Bleach* is already a super IP in itself.

To be honest, Xu Feng even wonders if he priced it too low.

After all, the heinous Konami dares to sell a card with a cost of a few cents for five or even six digits.

Selling something with a two-digit cost for only four digits is already very conscientious, isn’t it?

The reason Xu Feng chose to open the store at this time naturally has his own ideas.

The main reason is that the Soul Society arc is already coming to an end.

And after this arc concludes, the popularity of the *Bleach* IP will inevitably be affected.

He must seize the time while the IP’s popularity is still at its peak to make money while standing tall.

Immediately, Xu Feng sends another message in the crew group chat:

“The physical store is opening, who is free to come and show some support recently?”

Hu Ge: 【Director Xu, I’m free, I’m free!】

Jiao Enjun: 【I can ask for leave】

Gao Yuanyuan: 【I don’t have much of a schedule recently……】 ===== CHAPTER 36 =====
