Annan was released on the evening of the next day, and his former position as Secretary-General of the United Nations in Africa was so high that even tribal elders in remote areas knew about him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although Info kidnapped him, he didn't abuse him, but just wanted to tell the world about the fact that their tribe was being bullied through the kidnapping incident.

The rescue team led by Yang Bili was originally prepared to coordinate and not achieve a hard attack, but the heavily armed rescue team was faced with barbecue and sugar cane wine, and the rescue operation turned into a party.

The traveling daimyo has been publicized in Europe, and his digital army is unimaginable to the Africans who are still fighting with broadswords and spears, although there are only more than 2,000 soldiers traveling around, but with the security guards, there are more than 10,000 people in Africa alone, and this force is far from being something that ordinary African countries can provoke.

In the tropical rainforest, you enjoyed the rare beauty of the outside world, the wild bamboo forest of dozens of square kilometers all over the mountains and wilderness, is a spectacular scene that Zhou You has never imagined, compared to the bamboo forest in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I don't know how many times larger.

All kinds of wild animals, exotic plants, if you don't come to this treasure house of nature, you can't imagine it at all. Coming out of the rainforest, they also encountered a gang of ivory poachers, who had killed at least ten elephants and harvested twenty tusks.

These poaching teams met them, and they also met their nemesis, not only losing a human life, but also giving all their gains to Zhou You.

These people were sent to the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and they took these people, but gave them to Zhou You as a reward. Zhou You has no special hobby for these ivory, in fact, he doesn't have many hobbies in the first place, and nothing in front of him has that feeling that makes him obsessed.

However, Gracia liked the ivory very much, and the DRC government issued an export permit, so she negotiated with Yan Fangqing and shipped the ivory to China.

Yan Fangqing has also met many collectors over the years, and under their introduction, she found a master carver from Gusu who was ready to carve these ivory into beautiful ivory carvings.

However, knowing that they were firing again with the poaching gang, Yan Fangqing couldn't help but blame them again. She can't care about it now, she can only say a few words to Gracia. The gist is that you should not let you go into a shootout with a poaching gang, and if something happens, it will be too much to lose.

But don't talk about traveling, even Gracia is immune to her verbosity, anyway, if she doesn't let her be verbose, I'm afraid her heart will be even more uncomfortable.

On July 12, Zhou You left the Democratic Republic of the Congo and came to England. In a country house in England, Zhou You spent a few days playing with his children. Teach Longlong to practice, accompany Zhongzhen to ride a horse, listen to Zhong'an play the piano, watch Zhongge painting, and accompany Zhongyuan to play chess.

On July 17, Paris left the UK and returned to Los Angeles for the premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean IV. The film was the world's first 3D feature film and took the name of Avatar.

Even more favorable than the previous life is that the AMC theater around the tour has been remodeled earlier than the previous life, although it is now 2008, but now in the United States and mainland China, there are more 3D theaters than in the previous life in 2009.

In Europe, AMC took advantage of the financial crisis last year to acquire Odien Cinemas, Europe's largest cinema chain, from Taifeng Capital. After the merger with AMC, the largest cinema chain with 207 theaters and nearly 2,000 screens in Europe, plus the hundreds of theaters and more than 1,000 screens invested by Zhou You in the mainland, surpassed Emperor Entertainment and became the world's largest cinema chain.

What's more, the tentacles of traveling around are not only limited to the United States and the mainland, but can also really influence the European market.

On July 18, Zhou You, Yan Fangqing, Gracia, and the children came to London together. At the Odian 3D Cinema near London's Chinatown, I watched Pirates of the Caribbean 4 in which I participated.

This viewing also made the children very excited, especially Zhongge, who came out of the cinema and said that he would make movies in the future, and he would go beyond traveling.

Looking at his handsome little face, Zhou You secretly thought, if this kid makes a movie, I don't know how many little girls will be fascinated to death! No, he has the hope of marrying the Queen of Spain, if he is too distracted, the Spanish people can't accept a romantic husband.

"Diego, why make a movie? Don't you like to draw? ”

"Dad, don't you think it's cool to have a movie like this? I love movies, it's cooler than drawing. ”

Gracia supported whatever Zhongge wanted to do, and asked, "Diego, do you want to be the main actor to attract the little girl?" ”

"No, Mom, I don't want to act in a movie, that's stupid. What I want to do is make a film......"

Zhou You was angry, rubbed his little face and said angrily: "Boy, do you want to say that my mother and I are stupid?" ”

He snorted, looking at Zhou You's deliberately accompanied face, and Gracia's malicious smile. Hurriedly hugged Zhou You's legs. "Dad, I didn't mean that, you're not stupid at all......"

Both Zhou You and Gracia couldn't help but laugh.

Whenever there is a financial crisis, people are more willing to pay for spiritual consumption. This was evident from the financial crisis of 1929, a phenomenon that economists later dubbed the "lipstick effect."

Although the lipstick effect is named after the increase in lipstick consumption, it later refers not only to lipstick, but to the trend of all people's consumption turning to buy cheap luxury goods, and although lipstick is not a necessity of life, it has the effect of being cheap and whitewashed, and can bring psychological comfort to consumers.

Watching movies is a striking example, in 2007 and 2008, when the financial crisis cost everyone a lot of money and the consumption of luxury goods was greatly reduced. However, the box office revenue in the United States has not decreased due to the economic crisis, but has increased a lot.

On July 18, Pirates of the Caribbean 4 was simultaneously released in several major box offices around the world, and the entire market was detonated on the first day. Because, this is also the first time that all 3D theaters under the AMC Cinema Line have shown 3D movies on a large scale.

Even if you don't talk about the quality of the movie, the gimmick of the first 3D movie alone is attractive enough. People unconsciously walked into the theater to see the charm of 3D movies, which made hundreds of 3D screens in short supply, and week-long tickets have been pre-sold.

In the first three days of the weekend, Pirates of the Caribbean 4 reached $180 million at the North American box office, directly breaking the first-week box office record of 150 million just set by Batman, which was released three weeks earlier.

And on a global scale, the box office in the first weekend reached nearly 400 million US dollars, which also stunned everyone, because this is how many movies are coveted!

The Dark Knight, which was released for three weeks, was originally scheduled to be released on July 18, but when they learned that they had collided with Pirates of the Caribbean 4, they were frightened and deliberately released three weeks earlier.

Their results are indeed good, and within three weeks of their release, they have grossed more than $900 million at the box office. What Zhou You didn't know was that in the original time and space, The Dark Knight was the first comic book hero movie to surpass a billion dollars at the global box office, and their tickets just exceeded a billion dollars.

But in this life, due to the strong attack of the Pirates of the Caribbean, until the next painting, their box office did not exceed one billion. However, Warner was not too disappointed, because the cost of 150 million and the global box office of nearly one billion also made them a lot of money.

The re-written Pirates of the Caribbean 4 took two years to improve the plot, plus the center of the entire film has changed from Captain Jack to Captain Jack and Captain Howling Wind, plus the love line on both sides, and the fight line with Jack Jones and British soldiers, the plot of the whole film is smooth, and I don't know how many times stronger than the original.

Now, with the first real 3D film gimmick, the release of Pirates of the Caribbean 4 caused a worldwide sensation from the start. After the North American box office of nearly 200 million in the first weekend, the film has exploded countless records in a row.

The first film with the fastest box office of hundreds of millions of dollars, a total of 20 hours, the highest box office film in the weekend, the highest box office film in the first week, the fastest film to break through the box office of 200 million, 300 million, and even 500 million.

By August 7th, the box office in North America had exceeded $500 million, and the global box office had reached $1.3 billion.

But at this time, Zhou You had already shifted his attention to the Olympic Games held in the capital.

Since August, the atmosphere here in the capital has been as warm as the weather. I don't dare to say the whole world, but the atmosphere in the whole mainland has become boiling because of this Olympics.

As early as the end of last year, Zhou You has received 100 tickets from the organizing committee, although there are a lot of tickets, but compared to the social circle of Zhou You, these tickets are somewhat insufficient.

However, a large number of people who traveled to know each other had their own relationships and received tickets from the organizing committee. In addition to the tickets reserved for his family, about half of the remaining tickets were given as prizes to the company's outstanding employees.

On August 5th, Zhou Yu returned to the capital, Paris was busy with various social activities every day, and the front yard of the courtyard in the capital was almost singing every night. Gracia has also been a lot quieter recently, and every day he and Yan Fangqing take the children to watch various celebrations in the capital.

He was also very busy traveling, receiving leaders from all walks of life every day, and acting as a host in the capital to entertain guests from all over the world. Although not everyone needs his hospitality, recently, the leaders of dozens of countries and hundreds of international organizations have come to the capital, and everyone is only given five minutes of time, and he is busy enough.

The traveling courtyard has become one of the recent hot spots in Beijing, with countless bigwigs coming and going every day, and the space outside the courtyard is almost crowded with reporters and countless tourists from all over the world.

In the evening, there are many fewer politicians, but the literary and artistic circles, including Hollywood stars and business celebrities, make the place boil again.

Paris has been very proud lately, and her favorite thing is this kind of social socializing, and she always bursts out with extraordinary brilliance on such occasions.

"Dad, I'm afraid ......"

Although the children are used to living in the spotlight, they have never experienced this kind of scene full of people. The bus they took around had just left the Third Ring Road and arrived at the ruins of Yuan Dadu, and it was already completely blocked.

Since they did not get a special pass through the organizing committee, they had to get out of the car and prepare to walk there. There are still nearly two kilometers from here to the Bird's Nest, but the crowded streets make these two kilometers extremely difficult.

As soon as the car was blocked, it attracted attention. The attraction of their family is not weak, not to mention a group of Hollywood stars, including some big stars in the mainland, and tourists and reporters on the roadside quickly surrounded them.

Zhou You hugged Zhongzhen, Zhou Tao also picked up the Central Plains, and under the difficult obstruction of the bodyguards, he headed towards the destination. Zhong'an was not afraid of going crazy at all, and she seemed extremely excited, she rode on Naya's neck, followed Zhongge on Batistuta's neck, and looked at everything around her excitedly.

Only Zhongxuan thought that he had grown up, held Yan Fangqing's hand, and refused to ask for a hug.

Yan Fangqing couldn't help but complain. "I knew I would get a pass from the organizing committee, who knew that this would happen."

Zhou You comforted her and said, "Okay, it's hard to buy regret medicine if you have money." Since this is already the case, let's take this as a rare experience!

Gracia nodded and smiled: "Yes, now the number of people in the capital is almost as large as that of Spain, and I have never seen so many people in one place." ”

Zhongzhen was still a little scared at first, but after a while, he became excited, and watched his younger brothers and sisters riding on the necks of adults, and also hugged Zhou You's neck and said, "Dad, I want to ride a big horse too." ”

Zhou You put Zhongzhen on his shoulders and walked forward with the crowd, not at all unexpectedly surrounded by the crowd. It is only in the domestic environment that he can let go of all his defenses, except for the country, and only the security of Singapore makes him trust.

None of the other countries allowed him to let down all his defenses easily. If you haven't really lived abroad, you can't appreciate how rare this safe environment is at home.

The decade of rebirth is a decade of rapid development in China, and it can also be seen from the self-confidence on the faces of the people that the development of the economy has also tempered the people's self-confidence, which is the first rising stage of national self-confidence in modern history after suffering 150 years of humiliation.

From this point of view, the Olympics are worth the extra money, because it is easy to develop the economy, but it is difficult for people to become confident. The Olympic Games is such an opportunity, a good opportunity to show one's strength and enhance national self-confidence.

The four ancient civilizations, except for China, have all fallen into an embarrassing situation, with almost nothing but history. Being able to stand up again in the midst of the ruins, as a Chinese, Zhou You's heart is always proud.

In addition to our history, we also have the present and the future.
