"It's delicious, but it's just too spicy."

On the plane back to the capital, Sally was still lamenting last night's food. Ye Zhiqiu went to the snack street and bought almost all kinds of snacks, which made several people addicted to eating. Sally and Kusa's ability to eat spicy food is surprising, although they have been inhaling and drinking cold water by the spicy ones, they eat no less than others.

For Sally, who has always been calm and self-controlled, this scene is not very common.

Ye Zhiqiu is actually not Rongcheng, but Rongcheng cuisine is famous throughout China, and Sichuan cuisine is even more popular in China - in China's major cities, there are all kinds of real and fake Sichuan restaurants with the names of "Xiaochuanbian", "Chuanbian Wang" and "Spicy Sichuan Cuisine".

I have to say that food can help people resist other discomforts - such as jet lag, fatigue, etc., at least when Daniel's team returns to the capital, they are in good spirits, because according to Ye Zhiqiu's words, the food in the old capital should not be underestimated.

However, in general, the next two days will be relatively serious.

F2F, or Plutos Investments' investment in China, and DD Pictures' entry into the Chinese film market, must be officially approved and recognized. His direct communication with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and Radio and Television may be very crucial. Chinese attach great importance to this kind of communication between generals, and usually the people above have the power to nod directly -- unlike American companies, where even the CEO needs to be authorized by the board of directors on critical matters, while in China, as long as the official does not fall, then his decisions are basically implemented.

There's a good side to it and a bad side, for Daniel.

The bright side is: He doesn't have to deal with obstacles, he doesn't have to worry about passing one hurdle and another, and he doesn't have to worry about protests from unions, organizations, etc. But bad things are too contingency for you to push things forward with reason or system, and you can only hope that the officials you negotiate with will understand your demands -- which of course makes people feel uncertain.

Meetings with the health authorities are much more harmonious. In recent years, the Foundation has provided continuous support for China's infectious disease research, some relatively expensive and cutting-edge medical equipment, as well as more important equipment use technology training, the foundation is providing assistance to China's research departments and personnel.

Fortunately, according to the itinerary, there was no need for them to face China's notorious "State Administration of Radio, Film and Television" in the first place.

Americans don't really understand the nature of the "State Administration of Radio, Film and Television" as an institution - it is first and foremost an official body. Something like a subordinate department of the U.S. State Department, or a specialized committee of Congress. But the power it has is incredible, except for the ** on the head, it seems that all the content on television, cinema, radio, etc., is under its management, and it does not have a clear rule, and it can arbitrarily decide whether to agree to a work being promoted to the public.

This kind of power, which is "so serious as to erode the foundation of American values," is incomprehensible to many Americans.

The Americans are not without similar institutions. The Federal Communications Commission, which is part of Congress, licenses and provides basic guidance to wireless and cable networks because they cannot violate the Constitution. But the powers of this committee are not administratively mandatory. It is its influence, whether it is in the industry, the public, or within the government, and no company will be willing to challenge it.

In the United States, more specific things are done by industry associations. For example, the classification of television programs is generally composed of representatives of the Federal Communications Commission and major television networks. They decide on their own ratings for the show. In the field of film, major production giants, including Daniel, formed the MPAA, the association that manages the film industry.

In Daniel's view, the MPAA is a bit like the guilds of ancient China, where all walks of life follow the rules set by their ancestors. Even if you don't break the law, no one will do it. Once you do, then the whole industry will ostracize you and even deprive you of the right to do it.

This gives the guilds sufficient deterrent power, no weaker than the law.

This is part of the criticism that China has been criticized.

But Daniel doesn't entirely think it makes sense, especially after living in the United States for so many years and being exposed to more things. He understands better than the average Chinese that once their government lifts these restrictions, it will bring about very rapid changes – whether it will be good or bad, no one can be sure. For China, of course, it is choosing to take a more secure path.

So, when Daniel talks with these bureaucrats, there is not much reluctance.

……

"Today, Di Qiang, Secretary of the Party Committee and Minister of the Ministry of Health of China, met with the visiting UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, Chairman of the Science and Technology for All Foundation, well-known American investor and famous film actor Daniel Qiang. Mr. Sandler and his entourage. The two sides held talks in the fields of infectious disease research and international cooperation in health affairs. Di Qiang also expressed his gratitude to the 'Science and Technology for Life' Foundation for its important help to China during the SARS period. Sandler expressed his gratitude for China's continued support for the health sector. Daniel. Sandler said that the 'Science and Technology for All Beings' Foundation will, as always, provide technical assistance for the health of the Chinese people, and is willing to act as a bridge between China and the world in this field. ”

Wu Muhua, Vice Premier of the State Council of China, met with Daniel at the Great Hall of the People. Sandler and his party. Wu Muhua expressed his gratitude to Daniel. Sandler has always thought of his help and friendship with the Chinese people, and also welcomed Daniel. Sandler came to China to invest in entrepreneurship ......"

Zhang Qian - the screen name "Sesame Paste", absolutely did not expect to participate in Daniel. The day before Sandler's fan meeting, she was able to get Daniel on a news hookup that she hadn't been watching. Sandler's message.

She is making sesame paste - this is why her QQ nickname, screen name, etc. are all "sesame paste", she loves to drink this thing too much, and it is her fixed dessert after meal.

Her mom suddenly called out to her in the living room.

By the time she rushed back to the living room in a hurry, the camera was on Daniel.

"This is the American star, right?"

"yes." Zhang Qian was still holding her sesame paste, her eyes unblinking.

Her father was quite puzzled, "How can an American movie actor still be on the news network?" ”

"You didn't listen to the news," Zhang's mother gave him a blank look, "Thank you for your help during the SARS epidemic, as well as his long list of titles, and a United Nations or something." That's all the United Nations, and you can't be on the news network yet? ”

This news flashed by, and Zhang Qian noticed her parents' argument and couldn't cry or laugh.

"In addition to being a particularly famous movie actor, Daniel is also a super-rich man with a net worth of tens of billions. And he is also a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) - he often visits refugees in refugee camps in Africa, Thailand, etc. As for why he was able to be on the news broadcast, it was because during the SARS epidemic, he had a foundation called 'Science and Technology Benefiting All Beings', which donated a lot of equipment to China, which was very valuable and high-end, which played a great role. So don't you see, it's all the Ministry of Health, the health business, and so on. ”

Zhang's father and Zhang's mother suddenly realized.

"Oh, this person doesn't look very big, the foreigner is quite tender, how can he be so capable."

"What a tender face, he's 80 years old, as big as me."

"It's only 26? His parents are smoky from their ancestral graves, so they can give birth. ”

Regarding the situation that her parents will give birth to a child, Zhang Qian can only be silent, if she dares to refute, there will definitely be a lot of words waiting for him.

"Hey, Qianqian, you're going to see him tomorrow night, right?"

"- Huh? How do you know? ”

Although Zhang Qian lives with her parents, she definitely has her own space. She didn't tell her family about running to see the star.

Her mother gave him a blank look, "I received a call from a little girl today, she said it." Also sneaky. ”

It must have been someone who had made an appointment with her to go with her, and was talked.

"Take your dad's camera and take a few pictures back." Zhang's mother began to discuss with her with great interest.

……

At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, the No. 3 banquet hall of the Beijing Hotel, the audio equipment, scenery, etc., were assumed early in the morning.

There was no media on site, and the DD China office would provide manuscripts and pictures afterwards – which was still very customary.

Zhang Qian knew several people, and her heart was fluttering, she really didn't expect to meet Daniel so soon, in this era, Chinese European and American star fans, rarely hope to see a real person. After all, there are too few big-name actors in China, and even fewer fan events are held.

Until about half past nine, it was not Daniel who came first, but more than twenty black-clad security guards.

Behind them is the Lord of the day.

As soon as Daniel appeared, a cheer rang out.

"Hello everyone, I'm Daniel—"

Standard Chinese Mandarin.

"Are you curious about Daniel's Chinese?" A female person in charge of DD's China office hosted the meeting, "I can tell everyone for the first time that his Chinese is very good, probably similar to professional English level 8 or above. ”

This is a new material, those who know Daniel may know that he knows a little Chinese, but they definitely never imagined that his Chinese would be so good.

Over the next two hours, games were played, Chinese songs were sung, fans gave gifts, and Daniel gave everyone gifts in return—a signed "Pianist" DVD and a box of chocolates.

Until half past eleven, everyone dispersed happily.

……

"There is still a tough battle to be fought in the afternoon, I really admire that I can still have such a fun at this time."

Ye Zhiqiu stood on the side and watched the fans leave with him.

In the afternoon, Daniel met with officials from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, China Film, China Film and other officials, and he is also the group that is most vigilant about him in this country. (To be continued......)
