Chapter 433: Zhangjiajie's Tourism Boom (2)

Changsha International Airport.

"Wow, wow, we're here in Zhangjiajie!!"

"Oh, don't shout, this is not Zhangjiajie yet, and it will take an hour to get there."

"People can't help it~~" Tina and a few sisters shouted in fluent Chinese in the theater as soon as they got off the plane, and they were very excited. They are all avid Avatar fans, and after the holiday, they happily packed their bags and came to the legendary Avatar filming location - Zhangjiajie.

In their hearts, Zhangjiajie is a mysterious and magical place, just like the sacred and beautiful planet Pandora. This time, they came here with a dream come true.

Their presence quickly attracted the attention of the tour operator at the airport, and a woman dressed in a tour guide costume rushed over in front of the competitors: "Hello, are you tourists?" I am a travel agency and can arrange your tours, do you need our services? ”

After all, Tina and her life are not familiar with the place, after understanding the situation, they happily paid 4,000 yuan/person to join the tour group, and bought a four-day super luxury tour package, the free kind, the whole luxury minibus alone transfer. Soon they came to Zhangjiajie in a luxury minibus, it was too late and they could only rest for one night, and tomorrow they would go directly to one of the filming locations of "Avatar" - Yuanjiajie Scenic Area.

After an excited night of sleeplessness, they happily sat at the entrance of the Suoxiyu ticket station in Zhangjiajie.

"OMG!! That's a lot of people!! Tina exclaimed in surprise.

I saw that at this entrance of Zhangjiajie, there was a dense line of tourists, estimated to be 2,000 people. And Tina also noticed that blacks and whites made up the majority of the population.

The specially configured tour guide said with a smile: "Today is considered a small number of people, a few days ago there were more, and more than a dozen entrances were lined up for more than 40 meters." ”

After a long time, they finally entered.

After walking a little way in, the tour guide pointed to a place with a lot of big tents and said: "That is where the crew of "Avatar" is located, and now it is about to be demolished, do you want to take a look?" There are quite a few Avatar fans who like to go there. ”

The guide's proposal received a positive response from Tina. After paying the 10 yuan ticket fee, the group entered inside.

The fence, the square, and the inside of the studio, in fact, many things have been removed, and there is nothing to see. However, Tina and the others were very interested, and kept pointing to one place after another to guess what shots were taken here, and the camera naturally did not stop for a moment.

They walked around a small filming location for an hour, and they were still unfinished when they left. Fortunately, they ordered a free package, so the tour guide didn't rush them.

Then they followed the tour guide to the world's first ladder - Bailong Ladder, which cost 180 million yuan and was known as "the world's highest, fastest and largest elevator", which was also entered into the Guinness Book of World Records. Looking out from the inside of the elevator, ordinary people dare not look at it.

Sitting on the Bailong Ladder, I came to the Yuanjiajie Scenic Area.

The tour guide introduced Tina to them: "Everyone has seen "Avatar", and they must be very shocked by the strange peaks in it. And the next thing we go to is the "Avatar" mountain peak prototype scenic spot - Yuanjiajie Scenic Area, Yuanjiajie scenery is known for its majestic, strange, dangerous and steep, there are more than ten miles of mountain trails, and a section of high-altitude glass trestle bridge, the scenery along the way is innumerable......"

Take photos along the way. There are many handsome and majestic peaks that make Tina and her sisters marvel constantly. Soon they were taken by their guide to a platform with a wide view.

Looking out from the platform, the three thousand strange peaks are in full view, majestic and beautiful, and the demeanor is different.

There have been a lot of tourists taking pictures here in this platform, and the tour guide pointed to the strange peak in the middle of the opposite side and introduced them to Tina: "The peak in front of me is called the Qiankun Pillar, also called the First Pillar of the South Heaven. In the "Avatar" movie, the Mountain of Truth, the habitat of the Thunderbolt Winged Beast, is based on its power. ”

"Oh, I know, I know." Tina's people became excited all of a sudden, and they were very busy taking photos.

After passing the Qiankun Pillar, the tour guide said, "The next stop will be a surprise." Forgive me for buying a guanzi now. ”

The guide's smile was mysterious, which made Tina and her sisters curious, but soon they came to the top of a relatively wide mountain.

"Wow wow!! It's a winged beast!! ”

"It's so big!!"

"It's so beautiful!!"

Tina, with her hands over her mouth, looked in surprise at the five giant winged beast models in front of them, some flying and some standing. There are predators, there are landings, and they are lifelike, as if they just came out of a movie.

Each of them is three or four meters tall, with huge and colorful bodies, fangs, eyes, skin, and batwing claws, exactly like the Thunderbolt in the movie.

"I want to take pictures!! I want to take pictures!! ”

"I'll shoot first, help me hold the camera!!"

Tina was so excited that she was in a mess, rubbing around the pterodactyls, unable to control herself.

After spending more than three hours visiting Yuanjiajie and descending the mountain on a cable, they went straight to another scenic spot - "Avatar" Animal World under the guidance of the guide.

There are many creatures from the movie, such as Na'vi, Thunderbolt Pterodactyl, Six-legged Heavy Armored Horse, Toruk Phantom, Stammmon, Hammerhead Thundermon, Death Beast, Viper Wolf, Pandora Monkey, Peacock Deer, Thorn Bat, Spinning Fan Lizard, Wood Elf, Soul Tree, Spiral Red Leaves, ......

The model is very realistic, whether it is the touch between the fingers, the body shape, and the color, it makes people think that it is real.

And the most popular is Pandora's strongest creature, the air overlord Toruk, and the forest nightmare death beast, their huge bodies and hideous teeth make many tourists feel cute~~

However, what made Tina a little depressed was that there were too many visitors to the 'zoo', and her photo plan was very unsatisfactory.

The next day, they visited the Golden Whip Creek, which was lush and cool, and every other way they could find a Pandora animal or two or a few Pandora plants, which added a lot of fun to Tina's journey.

Since the global release of "Avatar" at Christmas, Zhangjiajie has received a large number of tourists from all over the world every day, and several airports in southern Hunan have groups of tourists getting off the plane every day. Most of these tourists are attracted by Avatar.

Because of "Avatar", Zhangjiajie's popularity in the world has climbed to the extreme, no worse than the Great Wall of China and the pyramids of Egypt.

According to the statistics of the tourism management department of Xiangnan Province, the number of tourists to Zhangjiajie has increased fourfold compared with the same period last year.

That's not all, there are countless fans around the world who have expressed their yearning for Zhangjiajie after watching "Avatar", and they will definitely come to visit if they have time.

In this hot scene, the scenic spot and the government are glad that they spared no effort to support this movie.

At the beginning, Wang Shang and Tianwang Film and Television were still under the pressure of negative public opinion, and Zhangjiajie also suffered a lot of pressure from all walks of life to give "Avatar" a green light and gave a lot of preferential policies. And now the global fire of "Avatar", the tourism boom in Zhangjiajie, and the economy have more than tripled compared with the same period last year, all of which have made the leaders of scenic spots and governments wake up with a smile from their dreams.

They are already thinking about awarding the title of "honorary citizen" to several of the main creators of "Avatar"-

February 6, 2013.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, Wang Shang finally received good news about Ningnan TV - the business staff finally negotiated a price, 8.9 billion yuan, and all the properties of Ningnan Radio and Television Group were packaged and sold to Tianwang Film and Television Group. As a local government department, the Ningnan government has a 10% stake, but has no right to operate.

"Arrange a day sign immediately, so as not to have too many dreams at night!!"

Wang Shang's words naturally made the speed speed speed up again!

On February 8, 2013, on the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Shang attended the transfer meeting of Ningnan Radio and Television Group and officially completed the final transfer contract with the board of directors of the group.

When Wang Shang exchanged agreements with the other party and signed his name with the tip of the pen, it was officially announced that Wang Shang's career would go further.

After a year and a half of acquisitions, and a series of obstacles from other competing companies, Wang Shang finally won a radio and television group with decent qualifications.

However, although the qualifications are not excellent, Wang Shangyou is confident that it will become an excellent radio and television group at home and abroad
