Chapter 425: The Little Bear That Can't Be Hidden
The century wedding of Shanhe and Hathaway two years ago brought a once-in-a-century development opportunity to Northern Fujian County.
In the past two years, the development of Northern Fujian has been changing with each passing day. It is now one of the famous scenic tourist areas in the country, and it also has a certain reputation abroad.
Qiujia Village has benefited a lot. It was originally located in a valley, and the scenery and climate are very pleasant.
With the reputation of Shanhe's hometown, people all over the country know that this place is a place of outstanding people and great literary atmosphere. Tourists in Northern Fujian basically come to Qiujia Village for a visit.
In particular, there are many tourists with children, who call it giving their children a touch of literary atmosphere and some luck!
Relying on tourism and various side businesses, Qiujia Village has now become one of the most wealthy villages in the country.
It was a big event in Northern Fujian for Shanhe's family to return home for the New Year. The news quickly spread throughout the county and the country.
It was OK in Qiujia Village, where all the people were Qiu family members, from the same clan. Although Shanhe's family was warmly welcomed by the villagers, they were all family members, so they didn't want to make too many scenes and polite remarks.
But it was different for outsiders. Officials and tourists at all levels were eager to see Shanhe's family return home.
The second day after arriving home, Shanhe and his father Qiu Jiang began to deal with the local officials who came to visit.
Because of Shanhe's return, the off-season tourism in northern Fujian County suddenly became a bit like the peak season, and there were many tourists from surrounding counties.
Qiujia Village was even more crowded with tourists, and everyone wanted to see this pride of the Chinese people, the most legendary celebrity since the new century.
Of course, most tourists came to join in the fun. Anyway, if they had time, it would be nice to come out and play.
But what everyone didn't expect was that the mysterious little bear Qiu Yanche unexpectedly exposed himself in front of them.
For the little bear, his hometown is much more fun than the capital. There is not only a vast space and various novel things here, but also many brothers and sisters of the same age as playmates. Even Doudou has many of the same kind to play and shout.
As soon as he arrived at the old house of the Qiu family, the boy was so excited that he followed Doudou everywhere.
Under the order of his mother, Shanhe had to follow behind his son to take care of him.
Looking at his son's short legs walking fast, Shanhe couldn't help but complain,
Other dogs are born to mark their territory when they arrive in a new place, why are you following them to join in the fun!
The old house of the Qiu family can't satisfy the lively and curious little bear. He has long been eager to try the world outside the gate.
In the two days since he came back, many elders and villagers came to visit and chat at home, and many children followed them.
The little bear had a companion, and he had more fun.
When the Qiu family didn't pay attention, he and Doudou followed the children out of the gate and rolled around on the grass at the door.
After Aunt Qiu Chuxi found out, she ran out to catch him. The two and the dog even staged a chase. Although Little Bear had short arms and legs, he ran fast. With the help of Doudou, Qiu Chuxi took some effort to hold her nephew in her arms.
Qiu Chuxi kissed her giggling nephew in her arms.
"Little Bear, you are in trouble this time. Your parents and your grandmother tried their best to keep it a secret for a year or two, but you ruined it all!"
Little Bear and Doudou didn't know this. They thought it was a game Qiu Chuxi played with them.
They kept tossing and turning in Qiu Chuxi's arms and around happily,
"Woof, woof!"
"Aunt, come again! Chase!"
"I told you that I can't hide it anymore. I'll expose it if I expose it!"
Qiu Chuxi looked at the tourists around her who were holding their mobile phones to them, whispered to herself, then kissed her nephew in her arms and touched Doudou who grew up with her,
"Aunt will take you to play around my hometown tomorrow. This is my territory!"
"Aunt, play!"
"Woof, woof!"
…
In 2013, smart phones were already popular in China. Although it was still the 3G era, uploading pictures was still very fast.
So, the photos of the little bear that European and American media had been offering a high reward for were uploaded to the Internet within ten minutes.
Within an hour, the photos of the little bear were spread all over the Internet, and there was even a video of the whole process of the little bear's escape, which attracted the attention and joy of the whole Internet.
"This is the legendary world's top second-generation rich kid, Little Bear, so cute!"
"Haha... I finally saw Little Bear, so fun, I guess the whole world will have to watch this kid these two days!"
"Black hair, black eyes, inherited most of our Chinese genes, but his eyes look too much like Hathaway's!"
"He's much prettier than Shanhe, he inherited all the advantages of his parents, in another 20 years, he'll be the world's top beauty killer, rich and handsome, who can resist him?"
...
An hour later, Little Bear's photos and videos quickly spread abroad, and Little Bear, this little brat, became the focus of the world's public attention that day.
The next day, global entertainment newspapers and media published large photos of Little Bear on the front page, and the various headlines attracted a lot of attention from passers-by.
"Bernier, the natural winner, the world's top second-generation rich man has appeared!"
"This is the biggest injustice in the world, he has everything when he is born!"
"...The best dream lover of future Eastern and Western girls is born!"
...
The Shanhe family frowned helplessly at the messy headlines and discussions on the Internet, and looked at the little bear who was still fighting with Doudou.
"I've said it before, the little bear can't be hidden. What era is it now? Everyone has a mobile phone. You can post it on the Internet with just a photo. Let it be exposed. What's there to be afraid of? My nephew is so handsome!"
"You know nothing. You just talk nonsense!"
After scolding her daughter, Xie Meiyu sighed and said:
"Growing up under the spotlight is too tiring. Look at your brother. He has never rested since junior high school. I feel sad when I see him. My grandson can't live so hard!"
"Meiyu is right. The little bear is too young. It's best not to live under the public's eyes. It will have a great impact on him!"
"Who said it wasn't!"
"What should I do? Xiaohe, you have to think of a way!"
…
Shanhe listened to the family's sad faces 's comments, she couldn't help but smile and responded:
"Nothing is perfect. The brat was born with everything. What the Internet said was right. He was born to be the top of others. He was already extremely happy. There is gain and there is sacrifice. This is the situation and pressure he must face. Everyone has to bear his own destiny. All we can do is to prevent him from going astray!"
As a Westerner, Hathaway agreed with her husband's opinion.
"When children grow up, they always have to make their own choices. We can't take care of Little Bear for a lifetime. He is the son of a peerless genius. This is Bernier's innate glory and also his innate pressure. We can't bear it for him!"
The couple's words stopped the discussion of the Qiu family.
After a moment of silence, Yu Zhengchong spoke up:
"Xiaohe and Nini are right. We are all too concerned. Xiaohe is too famous. Little Bear can't escape these things. Let him get used to them earlier and let things take their own course in the future!"
So, in the following days, little Qiu Yanche followed his local aunt Qiu Chuxi and spent the end of the year playing around in his hometown.
Photos and videos of the two people and the dog can be seen everywhere on the Internet. Shanhe's family has become the biggest source of gossip in the world during this period.
No matter how big the hot spots are, they will calm down with the passage of time. Shanhe's family has become accustomed to this kind of life.
Since they decided not to hide Little Bear anymore, they didn't take these things seriously. They were busy preparing New Year's goods, tidying up the old house, and welcoming the arrival of the Year of the Snake.
The New Year atmosphere in the hometown is not comparable to that in the city. Every household in the village is connected to relatives, and New Year's greetings will continue until before the Lantern Festival.
This year, the pride of the tribe returned home, and there were more activities.
Ancestor worship, dinner, welcoming the goddess, inviting opera troupes, bench dragons, everything that could be arranged had to be arranged.
Qiujia Village was always lively throughout the Spring Festival.
The whole family enjoyed this kind of family affection and atmosphere, and they all participated deeply in these activities. Hathaway was also busy as the daughter-in-law of Qiujia Village this time.
During this period, the little bear Qiu Yanche still followed his father and grandfather ignorantly, walked into the family ancestral hall for the first time, and kowtowed to the ancestors for the first time.
This New Year is probably the happiest day for the little bear since he was born. In his little head, his hometown is the best place in the world.
There is everything, delicious food, fun things, and many peers to play with.
It's too lively and novel!
He doesn't want to leave here.
After the Lantern Festival, when the family got on the car to leave Qiujia Village, this little ancestor started to move, crying and making a rare fuss, even Doudou's company was useless.
He really didn't want to leave his hometown. There was no such a big space and so many friends in the courtyard of Beijing!
But the little brat had no human rights. Even if he cried loudly, the car still left Qiujia Village firmly.
At this moment in the car, no one could help. Little Xiong'er's temper came up, and he had the energy to cry forever!
Until he was tired of crying, he fell asleep in his grandmother's arms under the distressed eyes of the whole family.
It is said that little brats have a bad memory, but Little Xiong'er, this stinky boy, has a good memory. After returning to Beijing, he was depressed for two days.
It really made the whole family worried. Shanhe and Hathaway were naturally moved by their son. They had no mind to think about anything else, and no mind to do anything else.
On the third day, the yard finally rang with giggles and chickens and dogs barking again, which made everyone feel relieved.
Shanhe also returned to his work with peace of mind.
The 2013 Spring Festival has come to an end. This year, Chuhe Films lost the competition in the domestic Spring Festival for the first time.
Zhou Xingchi's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has earned nearly 1.5 billion yuan in box office during its two-month release period.
Although Xu Ke's "Detective Dee: The Four Heavenly Kings" has been greatly changed compared to the original version due to the intrusion of Shanhe, and the plot and special effects production have been improved by at least two levels, it is still at a disadvantage under the appeal of Zhou Xingchi.
After one and a half months of release, the domestic box office is close to 1.2 billion, and the total domestic box office is expected to not exceed 1.4 billion.
This Double Dragon Meeting during the Spring Festival directly cleared the haze of Chinese-language films last year.
Although the Spring Festival in 2013 did not break any single-film box office records, the total box office reached a historical high.
During the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, China's total box office exceeded 1.3 billion, an increase of nearly 50% over the same period last year.
In the month before and after the Spring Festival, the box office of Chinese films exceeded 3 billion, an increase of nearly 60% over the same period last year.
Although Hollywood blockbusters were squeezed out of the box office space by two Chinese-language films, they still broke through 100 million. The domestic box office of "The Hobbit" even broke 300 million yuan.
Although the domestic box office of "Detective Dee" is slightly inferior, its global box office is far ahead of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".
"Detective Dee: The Four Heavenly Kings" was released on the same day in Asia. The total box office in Asia exceeded 300 million US dollars in one and a half months. It is expected that the total box office in Asia will exceed 350 million US dollars.
It has achieved good box office and reputation in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia.
The high box office and high reputation in Asia also led to the sale of the European and American copyrights of the film at high prices.
It is not impossible for the global box office to exceed 400 million US dollars!
However, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" does not have this distribution advantage. Although it is also released in Asia, the overseas box office data in the past two months is mediocre.
The total box office in Asia is 220 million US dollars, most of which comes from China.
In comparison with the two, Chuhe Film and Television's distribution capabilities are evident. In China, even in Asia, no one can match it.
Domestic media have exclaimed: Chuhe Film and Television has gone abroad and entered the ranks of the world's leading film and television groups.
The entire Chinese film and television industry was shocked and sighed. Chuhe Film and Television, damn day, is it ready to cheat from beginning to end, how can we follow!
Throughout the 2013 Spring Festival, Chinese and foreign filmmakers were cheering. The only one who was disappointed and painful was probably Feng Xiaogang. "1942" became the biggest failure in his directorial career.
The production cost of "1942" alone exceeded 200 million yuan, and after one month of release, the domestic box office was only 280 million yuan, and the final total box office was estimated to be just over 300 million yuan.
As one of the film producers, Director Feng suffered huge losses. The key is that he broke his unbeaten record, which triggered various discussions from the media and the public, and his box office appeal inevitably declined a lot!
During the Spring Festival, Feng Xiaogang called Shanhe to complain, regretting that he did not listen to Shanhe's advice and chose the wrong schedule!
Shanhe complained about this at the time. Who can you blame? I told you to pay attention to the distribution and the schedule, but you were blinded by the interests and past success.
You overestimated your appeal!
Let the audience see a devastated old China and experience a brutal disaster in the festive atmosphere of the New Year. Aren't you making everyone unhappy?
If everyone is unhappy, it would be strange if you can be happy!
All these external disturbances were heard by Shanhe. After he learned a little about it, he threw himself into his unfinished work.
In mid-March, the special effects production of "Youth is Easy" was completed, and in the second half of the month, the post-production of the entire film was completed.
At this time, a special guest came to Chuhe Film and Television:
Marco Mueller, chairman of the Venice Film Festival.
His only purpose in coming to China was to persuade Shanhe to bring "Youth is Easy" to participate in this year's Venice Film Festival.
"Joker" made a big splash at the Berlin Film Festival last year, turning the originally dim Berlin into a dazzling event.
The three major European film festivals are vying for Shanhe and "Youth is Easy" to participate.
Since last year, Cannes in May has been sending invitations to Shanhe and Bruckheimer.
And promised to use "Youth" as the opening film and give the greatest promotion efforts, and even use influence to help with European distribution.
However, these things are too unattractive to Disney. "Youth" does not lack these things. With the original novel as a foundation, publicity and promotion are too easy for Disney and Chuhe Film and Television!
It is impossible to let Shanhe speed up the progress in order to participate in a Cannes Film Festival.
Now that "Youth" has been produced, it is completely in time to participate in the Cannes Film Festival. For the same reason, "Youth" has the natural bonus of the original novel and does not need too much publicity and promotion period.
It is precisely for this reason that Marco Mueller, chairman of the Venice Film Festival, personally rushed to Beijing. He planned to personally persuade Shanhe to participate in the Venice Film Festival.
This old man is an authentic Chinese expert. He has been in China for more than ten years, and his first wife is Chinese.
He has many acquaintances in China. This old man made great efforts to make the fifth and sixth generation of Chinese directors so successful.
It is undeniable that Marco Mueller is the biggest recommender of domestic films and has made great contributions to Chinese films winning awards in Europe.
He has a wide network of contacts in China. When he visited Shanhe to persuade him, he was not alone. Two of Shanhe's good friends, Zhang Yi and Jiang Wen, were also pulled in by Marco Mueller.
