This promotional approach, completely different from previous years, was undeniably having an effect on the student body.
Posters about the New Year's Gala covered the entrances to the cafeteria and academic buildings. The Arts and Culture Committee had brainstormed and chosen many interesting slogans.
One poster featured several girls sitting on chairs, with the background edited by the school's publicity department to look like a Western throne, complete with special effects. They held scepters in their hands.
The slogan read: "This time, we're going big."
Another had a few people who had borrowed costumes from the school's cosplay club. Liu Tingyue had roped in several students from the school basketball team to pose as the Akatsuki Organization.
The slogan: "New Year's Ninja World War assembly point: Stadium One!"
