Chapter 54: Chinese Disney Monkey Soju
#Ms. Xu Yonghe is a role model for our generation! #
#Your grandma is your grandma! #
It turns out that eating spectacles and enjoying the fun is human instinct. First, the New Year's Eve show of Xian'an Museum was broadcasted by CCTV for the first time, surpassing the hot searches of the Spring Festival Gala.
Then there is the wide-ranging discussion about Xu Yonghe's great achievements. It perfectly shows the public's behavior of eating melons during the Chinese New Year.
Especially during the Chinese New Year, the peak season for urging people to get married, Xu Yonghe's popularity remains high.
Jia Wenyan had never expected that the event she had carefully planned for so long would be completely crushed by Grandma Xu's glorious past in less than 24 hours.
However, Jia Wenyan did not feel disappointed because of this incident. She even plunged into the new year's Internet wave after realizing that many of the gossips on the Internet were unknown even to her "acquaintances".
#The lost cultural relics found by Ms. Xu. #
#Ms. Xu pursues her husband aggressively. #
#The domineering female president bangs her 180cm tall professor husband against the wall. #
#Grandma Xu beat up the critics. #
From Grandma Xu's experience of going through untold hardships to retrieve cultural relics from all over the world when she was young, to her subsequent domineering pursuit of her husband when she became successful, to the classic example of holding the Anti-Japanese War IOU and beating up extreme red garbage during the ten-year culturally sensitive period.
There are even many famous quotes of Ms. Xu passed down by older students and educators on the Internet.
"Hong Hong Hong, is any of you as good as my Hong?"
"What feudal remnants? Let me tell you, my family relied on these feudal remnants to support the revolution."
"Why can't my family live in a big house? Let me tell you, those big ceramic jars in my basement were where the Red Army was hidden."
"Do you still have this wall, this door, this yard, and these tiles? They were all repaired by the commander of the army himself after the Japanese invaders came and smashed things up."
"If you dare to touch me, you are disrespecting the red sacred place."
…
From the cultural relics in the Yong'an Pawn Shop to the educated youth who were teachers and sent down to northern Shaanxi at that time, in the eyes of netizens, Grandma Xu's life was truly brilliant and transcended the times.
Even the emergency repairs of various cultural relics in the Northwest region at that time were more or less funded by Grandma Xu.
Even later, when netizens questioned why such a person was not included in textbooks, the local TV station directly responded publicly, saying that when filming the red celebrity-themed TV series, the reason why Grandma Xu's deeds were not used was entirely because Grandma Xu's life experience was so excessive that even if it was written into a biography, the public would suspect it was "falsified."
It’s not that they don’t want to shoot, but the film and television dramas are too conservative compared to Ms. Xu’s life.
Jia Wenyan never expected that an event at the Yong'an Museum would lead to so many revelations about Grandma Xu's glorious deeds.
When Jia Wenyan realized that something was wrong, she quickly called Grandma Xu.
Although the current trend of public opinion on the Internet is all about worshipping various "role models", Jia Wenyan understands that since these things have not received any publicity for so many years, it must be that Grandma Xu herself does not want to be famous.
However, when she brought two boxes of freshly baked "desserts" to visit Dean Zhen and Grandma Xu, she saw a group of leaders from the Culture and Tourism Bureau gathering in Grandma Xu's living room.
"Um... Grandma, you are in a meeting."
Xu Yonghe: "Well, it's a meeting about the cultural tourism development of Xian'an City in the coming new year. Wen Yan, you came at the right time. Let's listen together."
"This...is not good."
Jia Wenyan, who was not good at talking to her superiors, subconsciously wanted to leave. However, Grandma Xu had already predicted her thoughts and stood up and pulled her to her side and said:
"Let's take a look together. These things are closely related to our Yong'an Museum's plans for the new year."
Jia Wenyan: "What are the plans for Yong'an Museum in the new year?"
Director Tang: "Yes, Director Jia, we came to see Ms. Xu today to invite her to participate in the cultural and tourism promotion activities in the coming new year, but Ms. Xu just proposed a new idea."
Jia Wenyan: "New ideas?"
"This is it. Take a look."
Upon hearing this, the assistant who was in charge of recording hurriedly handed the laptop to Jia Wenyan.
"Intangible Cultural Heritage Technology Research Institute... Grandma, what's this?"
Xu Yonghe: "It is the lost cultural relic reproduction project we are currently working on. I want to further expand and promote this project and build an Oriental Disneyland with the theme of Donghuang traditional culture based on it."
Jia Wenyan: "Oriental Disneyland?"
"Yes, Oriental Disney, your New Year's Eve show last night gave me a lot of inspiration."
"The purpose of the museum is to pass on our culture, just like you would open various peripheral industries to provide a better service experience for the museum."
"I think we can further expand it and build a theme park where tourists can immerse themselves in the park and better experience the historical and cultural colors of Donghuang."
"I've had similar thoughts before. Disney uses their own way to let visitors experience their own worldview. I think this is a very suitable way to pass on culture."
Jia Wenyan: "So you and Dean Zhen asked Shu Wang to make an animated film with the theme of Donghuang culture in order to create this cultural theme park?"
"Yeah, we did take that into consideration, but we didn't plan that far ahead at the time. After all, if we want to achieve the same effect as Disney, it would take a long preparation process. At first, my husband and I just insisted on investing in projects that we thought would be beneficial to the inheritance of Chinese culture."
"But now, with your and Shu Wang's success, I think we already have the possibility in this regard. And when Director Tang came to me today, I immediately determined that this would be a good opportunity."
Jia Wenyan: "Director Tang... So the Cultural and Tourism Bureau has introduced some new support policies?"
Hearing this, Jia Wenyan looked curiously at Tang Feng who was sitting upright beside her.
She knew Xu Yonghe's character. Although Grandma Xu was indeed wealthy, she was definitely not the kind of person who could just build a large theme park with a wave of her hand.
Especially now that the epidemic has just ended for a year, no one would invest in such a project with an absurdly long construction period at this time. But what she didn't expect was that it was precisely because of the impact of the epidemic that Xu Yonghe began to determine the possibility of turning this "vision" into reality.
The epidemic has had a huge impact on the entire economic structure of Donghuang. The most representative of these is the large-scale collapse of the real economy and the sharp decline in the real estate industry, a pillar industry, during the epidemic.
Although corresponding remedial policies have been introduced, in the context of the declining birth rate, there will no longer be so much demand for commercial housing in the future.
The emergence of the epidemic has undoubtedly brought this issue to the fore.
Although the cultural and tourism industries in various places have recovered and developed greatly in the past year, the decline of the real estate industry is a reality that cannot be ignored.
Because the decline in the real estate industry not only brings about a reduction in fiscal revenue, they are also facing a sharp drop in a large number of job opportunities.
The current cultural and tourism industry is a major direction for the "flood relief" of real estate employment.
Xu Yonghe made a simple estimate and said that due to the gradual slowdown in the development of the commercial housing market after the epidemic, many construction companies in northern Shaanxi Province and surrounding second- and third-tier cities have entered a stage of reduced production or even liquidation and termination of operations.
Therefore, at this point in time, as long as there is good cooperation with relevant units, a large number of construction companies can be gathered at one time at a "quite affordable" price.
Xu Yonghe plans to use this to turn his dream of a "cultural theme park" into reality, and the authorities also need such a large project to gradually slow down the employment collapse caused by the rapid decline of the real estate industry.
Jia Wenyan: "So the previous revelations on the Internet were also..."
"I did it. I wanted to see how much traffic our team could bring. I wanted to combine all our strengths to raise the public's expectations for the theme park as much as possible."
"But isn't this a bit too hasty? The construction of a theme park should take a long time."
Xu Yonghe: "In theory, yes, but you didn't hear what I just said. There are many companies in Xian'an Province that lack employment opportunities due to the decline of the real estate industry. I plan to jointly develop with government departments and use the money from buying land to bring all these construction companies together to accelerate our industrial construction."
"It took five years to build Disneyland in Shanghai, and seven years to build Universal Studios in Beijing."
"I plan to work with the government's cultural tourism and construction departments to complete the construction of the first phase of the China Theme Park in one year."
Jia Wenyan: "So what does this Intangible Cultural Heritage Technology Research Institute mean..."
Jia Wenyan didn't understand. There were units in Xian'an City that were researching these intangible cultural heritage technologies. If Xu Yonghe wanted to build a theme park, there was no need to go around in circles to build such a unit. However, as soon as she said this, Grandma Xu looked as if she hadn't reacted yet and said:
"Hey, is this hard to understand? Have you seen Harry Potter? I hope to build a technical school similar to Hogwarts to inherit the traditional culture of Donghuang while creating a theme park."
"The starting point of this project was when you received attention for your reproduction of cultural relics and various universities proposed cooperation."
"They hope to be able to participate. They asked your master about it a few years ago, but your master felt that the funds and technology of the Yong'an Museum were sufficient to complete it independently, so he helped you to refuse."
"But now we all feel that we can take this opportunity to create a different kind of technical college together with the theme park."
Xu Yonghe: "Come on, girl, are you ready to become a monkey soju?"
