In a scenic spot in Handan, Hebei Province, a strange recruitment advertisement recently appeared - a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan, hiring a number of people to play the Monkey King, and the main job content turned out to be ...... Doesn't that sound like a fantasy? But it's really no joke, I eat from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., 2 p.m. and then 8 p.m., changing shifts every hour. Netizens commented on this job in a variety of ways, some said "I may not be able to support my family, but I will definitely be able to make a living", and some are worried that "I can't get out of the card if I eat too much".
We have to admit that there is something unique about this job. Do you think, the Monkey King we usually see is fighting monsters and upgrading, making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, how can we have the leisure to sit down and eat leisurely? But this scenic spot has obviously taken a different and innovative path, making Wukong from a fighting saint monk to a foodie saint. It's not just a job, it's an experiment in cultural innovation!
But then again, it's really not that easy. Think about it, how good an appetite it is to eat in front of tourists for so many hours a day! Not only that, but you also have to maintain the image of Wukong at all times, which can be exquisite: you must have the wildness of Wukong, but not too gaffe. Moreover, changing the guard every hour is a test of the actors' endurance and digestion ability.
The comments of netizens are also quite in place. Indeed, although this job can't make you rich, a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan is a good income in many places, at least "making a living" is no problem. However, it would be embarrassing to think that if you eat too much one day and the "somersault cloud" in your stomach can't come out. I guess the most popular in this job are probably digestive tablets and stomach medicine.
What's even more hilarious is that this job is simply a realistic version of the "Big Stomach Challenge". Every actor who plays Wukong needs to have an extraordinary appetite and excellent acting skills. Imagine feasting in the image of the Monkey King in front of a crowd of tourists, which is both a performance and a challenge. Moreover, the job may also unexpectedly boost the popularity and popularity of the attraction. Tourists may come here because they are curious, or they want to see how much this foodie Wukong can eat.
This also reflects an innovative trend in tourist attractions. Traditional scenic spots rely on historical and cultural resources to attract tourists, but in the increasingly competitive tourism market, innovation and differentiation have become important means to attract attention. This attempt to combine classic culture with modern elements and present it to the public in a new form is a kind of activation and recreation of traditional culture.
Of course, such a job has its challenges. Eating and broadcasting for a long time may have a certain impact on the physical health of the actors. They need to have good physique and health management to cope with the constant food demand and maintain a good image. In addition, this form of work may also lead to a public discussion about the health of food and the way in which culture is disseminated, which are social topics that deserve attention.
This job as a "foodie Wukong" is not only a career innovation, but also an interesting case of cultural creativity. It not only provides a platform for actors to showcase their talents, but also brings a new entertainment experience to visitors. At the same time, this also potentially promotes the development of local tourism, which has certain enlightenment significance for exploring new ways of combining culture and tourism.
