Go to the bookstore to read poetry, go to the bookstore to see the play. Bookstores are giving readers more experiences.
On December 28th, two vertical bookstores under Century Duoyun, Sinan Bookstore and Poetry Shop and Duoyun Academy Drama Store, held anniversary celebrations respectively. With the theme of "poetry" and "drama", these two bookstores respectively design layouts, book cultural and creative selections, event planning and even catering, all focus on key words, becoming a gathering place for poetry and theater lovers in Shanghai, making attempts for the characteristics, specialization and quality of bookstores, and handing over an answer sheet for the topic of "what else is needed after the bookstore becomes beautiful".
On December 28, 2019, Sinan Bookstore and Poetry Shop appeared at No. 16 Gaolan Road, which was converted from an excellent historical building with the theme of "Poetry". On December 24, 2020, the Duoyun Academy Drama Shop, located at No. 398 Changle Road, was unveiled.
Sinan Bookstore Poetry Shop's anniversary celebration this year continues the theme of "writing a poem to celebrate the birthday of the poetry shop" last year, and in the submission, readers were pleasantly surprised to find that Yu Ting, the designer of the bookstore, also interpreted the design characteristics of the poetry store through a poem. At the birthday celebration held on the evening of December 28, Zheng Tiwu, Bao Huiyi, Zhang Dinghao, Hu Sang and other guests attended the event to reveal the winning readers of this year's "Write a Poem, Celebrate the Birthday of the Poetry Shop", and the guests also reread the poems they had shared in the poetry store activities.
Readers visit the theme exhibition of the drama shop and visit the Lyceum Grand Theater.
Bookstores, like theaters, are spaces for in-depth exchanges. Whether you go into a bookstore or a theater, open a book or watch a performance, you are talking to the author and meeting the unknown. On the occasion of the first birthday of Duoyun Academy Drama Shop, coinciding with the imminent return of the Lyceum Grand Theatre, the two neighbors jointly launched an activity with the theme of "Drama Lets Us Meet", on the afternoon of the 28th, a group of lucky theater lovers visited the renovated Lyceum Theater and came to the theater shop to visit the ongoing Pina Bausch theme exhibition and feel the different aspects of drama.
Bookstores are becoming more beautiful, which is already the consensus of the industry and readers, but what else needs to be done after bookstores become beautiful?
As theme bookstores in the vertical field, Sinan Bookstore, Poetry Shop and Duoyun Academy Drama Shop focus on their own positioning from design ideas to book cultural and creative displays, cultural activities and even coffee desserts.
The poetry shop's selection of books is based on poetry, and recently launched a theme exhibition of "one poem per month", selecting one poem from the East and the West, and exhibiting it with related books. In terms of book selection, Duoyun Academy and Drama Shop adheres to the principle of "from the profession and facing the public", not only selects important masterpieces and research classics in the history of drama, but also has a large number of books that are "touching the bypass" with drama to help readers understand the derivation and application of drama in various fields of life. There are also special themed bookshelves such as "Drama Timeline" and "Drama People's Book List".
Since its opening, the poetry store has held more than 40 offline activities of various kinds, and nearly 100 guests have visited the bookstore, bringing readers new books with poetry themes to share, create dialogues, and classic recitations. The drama shop not only has a "Drama Man Book List" book club, a "Drama in a Play" repertoire sharing session, and even the café menu has a coffee dessert package of "Romeo and Juliet" and "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai"; the cultural creation of the drama shop has both a guitar corkscrew and a theatrical Rubik's Cube. The theme of the bookstore is reflected in every detail. Not only that, the theater store with the qualification of "New Space for Performing Arts" held more than 10 ticket sales performances in 2021, introducing performance forms that are popular among young people such as "Reading Time" and "Unplugged Musical Night", and achieved good box office results.
Sinan Bookstore poetry shop 2nd anniversary event
On the occasion of the celebration of the two stores, Century Duoyun released the book sales list of two vertical bookstores this year. The champion of the drama shop is Jin Yucheng's "Blossoms", and the crew and book editors of the previous stage play "Flowers" have held sharing sessions in the drama shop to interpret the whole process of the transition of "Flowers" from novels to stage plays. Second and third places were "Crush on Peach Blossom Garden" and "Shakespeare's Dramatic Story". Sinan Books & Poetry Shop topped this year's sales charts with Bob Dylan's Poetry Collection, followed by Fang Wenshan's "Like Poetry" and Tagore's "Birds".
Ling Yun, general manager of Shanghai Century Duoyun Cultural Development Co., Ltd., shared his views: "If a theme bookstore not only makes professional friends have a sense of belonging, but also does not stick to the 'inner circle and outside the circle', so that this profession is respected and outsiders can spy on its mysteries, this pursuit itself can help the bookstore find its irreplaceable foundation and win more readers." ”
Duoyun Academy Drama Shop 1st Anniversary Event
On September 28 this year, Duoyun Academy Jiaozi store opened in Chengdu, which is the first time that Duoyun Academy has landed in southwest China. This bookstore takes "art" as the theme, and it is reported that the "economic management" theme bookstore under Century Duoyun is also in the making.
"Century Duoyun can open a number of bookstores with different themes, on the one hand, because Shanghai has a large base of readers, on the other hand, because of the overall prosperity of Shanghai's urban culture." Bookstores are only an integral part of urban culture, theaters, cinemas, museums, art galleries, the flourishing of these cultural places, in fact, is to cultivate future readers for bookstores; in the same way, bookstore readers will also be potential consumers of other cultural institutions. The vigorous development of century duoyun's space is a microcosm of Shanghai's urban cultural soft power construction. Ling Yun said.
