"Professor Yue Heng, let's meet again in China when we have the chance!"
We'll miss you!
"We will definitely work hard to practice these two dances as well as you."...
The cultural relics donation gala came to a successful conclusion.
As they were leaving, Zhang Liping, Xiao Caiqi, and the others waved goodbye to Wang Yueheng with reluctance.
"I wish you all the best in your future performances, and I hope to have the opportunity to perform on stage with you again in the future!"
Wang Yueheng watched the other person board the bus and responded with a smile.
If nothing unexpected happens.
I will likely have many more opportunities to meet with the dancer Zhang Liping in the future.
Meanwhile, the members of the Chinatown Choir, carrying their belongings, were preparing to board the bus and return home.
They all waved goodbye to Wang Yueheng.
Some people even went out of their way to Wang Yueheng to present him with dragon knots or other small gifts with cultural characteristics.
This is to express gratitude to the singer for leading him to such a glorious stage.
"Yue Heng, your call is from Professor Cheng Long..."
Just as the two buses started moving, Mo Zixue suddenly jogged over to his side, handed him her phone, and whispered something.
As she spoke, Mo Zixue looked at Wang Yueheng, who was still covered in sweat from the performance, with heartache, and took out a handkerchief to gently wipe his forehead.
This heartwarming scene between the couple brought smiles to the faces of the actors on the slowly departing bus.
"Mmm~~~"
"So sweet~~"
"Seeing that Teacher Yue Heng is taken, I feel a bittersweet feeling. This is probably what unrequited love tastes like!"
"Teacher Yue Heng, you must cherish such a wonderful girl as Xiaoxue!"...
The young girls in the dance troupe, seeing this through the window, excitedly hugged each other, laughed, and cheered.
Even the bus driver couldn't help but glance at the two well-matched figures in the rearview mirror.
I'm trying hard to resist the urge to take out my phone and gossip...
"It's a pity that the two are still too young. We'll have to wait two years to see them walk down the aisle."
"Ambassador Peng, please make sure Wang Yueheng remembers to invite us!"...
Peng Yingli, Yang Chunhui, and the others, who were already in the car, looked out the window and discussed the conversation with smiles on their faces.
Hearing the laughter and jeers from the onlookers on the bus.
Realizing that her actions had been too intimate, Mo Zixue blushed slightly.
After quickly wiping the sweat from Wang Yueheng's forehead, she hurriedly resumed her normal assistant persona and stood a meter away from him.
...
"I'll do it myself."
"Hey, Uncle Long? How have you been lately?"
He smiled and waved to the vehicles that were slowly driving away from the theater square.
Wang Yueheng took the handkerchief from Mo Zixue, wiped his sweat, and answered the phone to greet her.
"Haha, it's been a long time since I've seen Yue Heng. I'm doing very well now."
"I was watching your live stream just now, and I was so happy when you went on stage to sign autographs!"
"I'm so happy that so many cultural relics have finally returned to our country!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Jackie Chan's hearty and cheerful laughter came through the phone.
It was clear that the other party was genuinely excited that so many cultural relics could return to China.
"Yes, it's all thanks to the efforts of these government departments in our country."
"It is thanks to everyone's dedication and persistent efforts in pursuing these issues that so many cultural relics have been able to return to the country..."
Wang Yueheng responded with a smile, subtly attributing all the credit to the Chinese government.
As long as the top brass of the Dragon Kingdom knows the real inside story, that's all that matters.
Ordinary people should know as little as possible about themselves, and it's best to always maintain a sense of mystery.
"That's also thanks to your hard work in promoting our culture, which has allowed so many Chinese people to learn about the stories of our cultural relics that have been lost overseas..."
"By the way, the reason I called you here is to talk to you about the new movie 'Chinese Zodiac'."
After continuing to praise Wang Yueheng.
On the other end of the phone, Cheng Long, who was sitting on the balcony of a large villa on Hong Kong Island, reclining in a chair facing the sea, spoke leisurely.
What's wrong with the new movie?
Wang Yueheng, the screenwriter and producer of the film, asked curiously.
The plot of this movie is not complicated, and it is an action movie, which is Jackie Chan's forte.
Logically, there shouldn't be any major problems during filming.
"That's right, our publicity and distribution department at Yinghuang Film and Television Group has just received an invitation from the French Ministry of Culture."
"They said that upon learning we were planning to make a film about France, they were willing to provide us with various forms of assistance free of charge..."
"The filming crew will cooperate with us, including the location, extras, and even the gendarmes and police stationed at the Paris City Hall..."
"And I listen to what they say."
"The French government seems to intend to return the two bronze animal heads that they stole after the film's production is completed..."
"Wow, I was so shocked when I first heard this news!"
"So I called you right away to hear your thoughts."
When he got emotional, Cheng Long stood up from his chair, walked to the balcony railing, and said with deep emotion.
Yinghuang Film & Television Group is the film and television company that exclusively collaborates with Jackie Chan's studio.
He was responsible for planning the filming of all of Jackie Chan's new movies after the merger.
"Don't they know the theme of this movie yet?"
"Did they mistakenly think it was about promoting French culture and customs to the outside world?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yueheng was speechless for a moment, and asked with a slight frown.
This film doesn't seem to be considered a positive image promotion for France, which also stole Chinese cultural relics in the past.
Why did the other party rush to offer various filming assistance before the large-scale promotion even started?
"No, no, no, our publicity staff explained the situation immediately after receiving the contact from the French authorities."
Even so, the other party expressed their willingness to spare no effort in promoting the new movie.
"However, they specifically emphasized that this was largely out of respect for you."
"Hopefully, the French government will leave you with a good impression..."
Cheng Long also sounded somewhat puzzled on the phone.
In the past...
The other party will usually say that they are giving face to me because I am an international movie star.
How come this time it's become giving face to Wang Yueheng, a fledgling singer from China?
Was it just because he was lucky enough to prevent a terrorist attack in London?
"Hmm... I think I understand..."
Upon hearing Cheng Long's explanation, Wang Yueheng suddenly understood, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.
As expected of a former empire, it seems the politicians in the French government are quite shrewd.
These people are probably afraid that the "Escape from the British Museum" case will happen again at the Louvre in France.
This resulted in the museum taking a large number of its treasured artifacts from China back to China.
That's why they actively and proactively try to befriend me.
They hoped that the fanatical "mysterious organization" behind them would show leniency and spare the country's museum.
In fact, Wang Yueheng himself has no intention of bringing back all the Chinese cultural relics from around the world at once.
After all, you can't get fat overnight, and doing that would be too exaggerated and ostentatious.
Moreover, France and Great Britain are both permanent members of the UN Security Council.
It's unlikely that the Chinese government would want to see its relations with two permanent members of the UN Security Council suddenly sour.
Wang Yueheng planned to wait until he was strong enough, at least until he completed the "Great Wall Watch" mission and obtained the rich rewards.
Then we'll consider other big moves.
And if possible at that time.
We also need to subtly probe the official opinions of the Chinese leadership to ensure we stay aligned with the nation's plans and actions, lest our joy turn to sorrow.
"You understand? What do you mean?"
"Uncle Cheng Long asked curiously on the other end of the phone."
"It's nothing. I think they're probably afraid that the Dragon Kingdom will take back all their cultural relics."
