The flowers bloom at two ends, one on each branch.

After Han Ting returned to the Special Administrative Region, Gu Biao finally no longer had to be as guilty and tired of socializing as a double agent.

He can focus on seizing the last few days to get more international attention for his studio project, as well as to accompany his girlfriend.

"How did Director Qiu arrange his itinerary with those foreigners in the past two days?"

After hanging up the phone with Han Ting, Gu Biao hugged his girlfriend in his arms and asked comfortingly.

After all, in the first two or three days after returning to Qiantang, he was mediating with Han Ting and Dahe Dianxiong, and he didn't play with the team, so he needed to know the progress.

Xiao Sui put his arms around his neck and replied casually: "I have visited the traditional scenic spots by the West Lake, focusing on the Flower Port Guanyu and Jingci Temple, all of which were personally received by Director Qiu.

When I introduced them, I mainly emphasized that those two attractions received President Nixon ten years ago, so everyone was quite satisfied and willing to enjoy the treatment of 'the same style as the president'. That night, I also arranged for everyone to watch "Shaolin Temple", and then advertised that the filming location of "Shaolin Temple" was actually there.

I followed and observed everyone's reactions, the quality of the film itself is not in the eyes of foreigners at all, but their interest in Chinese kung fu elements has been mobilized again, and they are more willing to understand it more deeply than before. At the same time, there is also a certain interest in the behind-the-scenes of Chinese film shooting - you know, even Americans, not all have the opportunity to observe the Hollywood workflow up close, and how the film is made is attractive to the vast majority of people. ”

Gu Biao nodded, it seems that in the past three days that he has not personally asked, Qiu Qing has also taken great pains to promote the signboard of the city's tourism industry, and tried to naturally arouse the interest of foreign adults to enjoy and play.

At the same time, Gu Biao couldn't help but want to laugh: "Old Qiu, this person, his appearance is getting more and more ugly, it's just a filming location for the "Shaolin Temple" movie, and the publicity is harder than the real Shaolin Temple. ”

Gu Biao has thoroughly seen the essence of Qiu Qing: the other party is the kind of local framing of foreign stories, and it should be said that it is local, and the framing of local stories from other places is still local.

By analogy in the industry, it's like when you OEM someone else, you say it's actually yours, and when someone else gives you an OEM, you still say it's yours.

In short, if there is a cheapness, you must take advantage of it, and if you have oil and water, you must rub it.

With such a strong temper, the reputation of officialdom in front of peers will definitely not be good, but the political achievements are very easy, because grabbing land is not ambiguous. In the 80s, officials who were willing to pull down their faces to protect their calves and cry poor in front of their superiors were prone to occupy more resources, and this era was not as decent as officialdom in later generations.

However, from Gu Biao's point of view, he is also happy to see it, anyway, it is not he Gu Biao who left a strong and domineering reputation, it is Qiu Qing.

Gu Biao himself can hide behind a powerful and notorious person and secretly count the money.

After clarifying his thoughts, Gu Biao confirmed: "Then the main itinerary for the next few days is to take that group of foreigners to visit the 'New Yuanmingyuan' Cinema?"

Xiao Sui: "Yes, there are still 3 days left in the official itinerary, if they are willing to stay longer, they can go to Lingyin Temple or something by themselves in the future." However, it is estimated that representatives of several companies will be interested in Buddhist temples.

Oh yes, also, over there, those supporting restoration projects and museums have also been built almost in a hurry, from the mayor to the director of tourism, these days are asking for a relationship to show their faces together. They were afraid that Qiu Qing would eat alone, so they called me. ”

Gu Biao teased curiously: "You, are you still a student, and the leaders of the local listing have already entrusted you here?"

While saying, he didn't forget to get a little cheap.

"No matter how people say it, they are also 'well-known writers', okay, they have written so many best-selling books, and they have made scripts for big productions, how come you are not considered a celebrity in the cultural world in your mouth!" Xiao Sui blushed, leaned his head on Gu Ao's shoulder and coquettishly, and waited for the afterglow to pass, and then continued to explain very responsibly,

"After I answered the phone, I also went to step on it myself, and it was indeed repaired well, and the Song Liuling Tomb was completely repaired in accordance with the verifiable ancient books and old photos of the ruins 20 years ago. There is not so much basis for verification of the Yue Tomb, and the shape is a little imaginative, and it feels similar to the Dayu Mausoleum, which is several times smaller in scale. The former site of Lanting Yaji has also been rebuilt.

However, the biggest problem at present is that the museum collection is still relatively small, and it is basically an empty shell. It's easy to build an antique house, but it's difficult to get so many cultural relics back, so you can only do it gradually. ”

Gu Biao calculated the time, the supporting facilities over there basically started construction half a year ago, repairing some antique buildings, as long as the money is in place, this time is still very easy. At most, the follow-up decoration will take a little more trouble.

And because it is donated by foreign businessmen, the museums there are all private public welfare nature, and the management rights belong to private individuals, as long as the cultural relics are not taken out of the country, to ensure that they are preserved and reviewed every year, the hand of the cultural department cannot be stretched out in normal times.

Don't think that this kind of privately funded donation of museums and privatized management is difficult to do in China - the fact that so many museums donated by the Jianchuan Group in later generations proves that people can indeed manage their own collection of items and ensure that they are not lost.

It's just that there are very few rich people in China who do this kind of thing, and people who do charity will not donate to museums, this thing is to please cultural people, not down-to-earth enough, and the public welfare exposure is not enough. The same money donated to Hope Primary School, the folk reputation is much greater.

It can only be said that later generations of Chinese philanthropists are still relatively utilitarian, and spend money to ensure visibility and exposure. Compared with the rich family of old money in Manhattan, there is a gap in the degree of otherworldliness.

In another generation or two, perhaps the philanthropic funds of Chinese capitalists will become something like the "Metropolitan Museum of Art" in New York/"Carnegie Museum".

……

Early the next morning, Gu Biao personally went out and took a long convoy to Xiao County and Huiji for sightseeing, and he himself played a guest role as a tour guide.

At the Hujiang Technical Society, there were 40 or 50 electronics/communication companies from all over the world, and each of the delegates had to bring assistants, entourage, and some even family members.

After removing the busy official business and having returned to China, the tour group in Qiantang can now make up two or three hundred people.

So many noble foreigners traveled in groups, and the foreign affairs reception departments in Xiao County and Huiji had never seen them, and they were like facing a great enemy for a while, and they didn't know how to serve.

The cinema guest house in Xiao County has been expanded again in the past six months, and it has been reluctantly upgraded to a level similar to the interior decoration of the exhibition hotel in Qiantang, and the local finance has spent a lot of money. However, when I saw the foreign adults coming, the local people still felt that it was worth the money.

Anyway, in the future, the tourism industry will be developed, and sooner or later it will be doubled and earned.

Gu Biao brought his girlfriend with him, accompanied Chris Galvin and his female companion, as well as several other most important friends.

They sat in the front few Mercedes-Benzes, and slowly drove into the New Yuan Ming Palace under the opening of the leading jeep.

The roads along the way are paved with asphalt, from the Qiantang River Bridge all the way to Xiao County, which is very rare. At this time last year, there was only a dirt road here, and after the completion of the first phase of the studio, the city government allocated special funds to give priority to the construction of this road, paving a full 30 kilometers.

Although it cannot be compared with the quality of the highway in later generations, in the mid-to-early 80s, the asphalt was very face-saving.

"Mr. Galvin, this is the New Yuan Ming Palace, you now see the lake on the right side of the road, which is the scenic spot of Fuhai and Yingtai Xianshan in the royal garden of the same name, if you are interested, you can take a boat to visit.

However, let's go to the main garden, Changchun Garden, and visit the Changchun Pavilion and Western Building. It is one of the filming locations of "The Last Emperor", and now there is also an endless stream of film crews to make films, and we can see up close how the historical masterpieces of the Chinese are made. ”

"China's ancient culture is still very fascinating, so I must take a closer look. "Chris Galvin is very interested, and the nature of the young man is exposed.

With entering the main entrance of the palace wall of the park, the asphalt road has become a bluestone pavement early. However, Mercedes Benz cars are still allowed to drive all the way inside, which is very preferential.

Finally, when they stopped at the big water law in front of the Western Building, Gu Biao and others got out of the car.

"This is obviously a French-style court garden!" Chris Galvin obviously had not done his homework beforehand and had not learned about the "Old Summer Palace", so he exclaimed at a glance.

Xiao Sui was very attentive in fluent English to help Gu Biao explain: "The construction of the Old Summer Palace lasted for hundreds of years, and this Western building and the Great Water Law were originally built after the end of the Qianlong period, and there were already many Western architects and artists who came to China to make a living, so it is not surprising that there are imitation palace buildings." ”

The Chinese side also provided a lot of interpreters and escorts, and also introduced and took pictures of the guests one by one.

"What a beautiful garden, have you beautified it, or is it like this in the old system?" asked Chris uncertainly, stroking the stone sculpture that had just been built.

Xiao Sui: "Actually, the old view has not been completely restored, this restored park is only a grass creation, and it can't even reach one-tenth of the level." After all, this is a royal garden. ”

"The impression I received in China this time is really different from the education I received in the previous 20 years. Are you really restoring these landscapes just for the sake of making a movie, and not for the political task of the national system?"

Because of the gap between the two camps, if this is a national face project, they believe it. Eastern countries, for the sake of face, concentrate on doing big things, it is still very awesome, and satellites can go to the sky before the United States.

But to say that this is a natural choice of the market economy and a natural choice of money, it is hard to believe - what kind of movies do Chinese make? Can you earn back so much money to make scenery?

"How can it be a political task, if it is a political task, it should be rebuilt in the capital, how can it be picked in such a rural place. Gu Biao couldn't help but explain with a smile, "If you don't believe it, you can take a closer look at the crew filming here, they are all foreign-funded companies." ”
