I really don't want high ratings for my documentaries!

Chapter 442: Something Happened!

Zhang Xiangyang drank the red wine one mouthful at a time.

He picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to his familiar buddy, waiting for his reply.

Inside the TV, a thick and magnetic narration sounded.

"In the Hexi Corridor thousands of years ago, there was a mysterious caravan. In the caravan was a strangely dressed man, with sweat dripping from his fake beard, and holding the Bible tightly in his arms, for fear of being seen."

"The people in the caravan didn't do anything other than look a little more at this strange man."

Zhang Xiangyang raised his eyes.

Looking towards the TV.

In the vast desert, even the wind blows with fine yellow sand.

It confuses the businessmen's direction and blurs their eyes.

The sun shines down from a high altitude, making people sweat, and it is too hot to walk a few steps.

Even the camels around me were listless.

The caravan has been walking in the desert for three days.

But the more excited they were at this time, because they knew that as long as they crossed the desert, they could see the huge city dominating the border.

The same is true of the disguised person holding the Bible among them.

His name was Uben, and he was a missionary from the Roman Church.

A few years ago, the Pope of the Church of Rome received letters from missionaries.

In the letter, the missionary wrote.

He believes that the Ming Dynasty in the east is the beautiful "Silver Empire-Khitan" in the legend.

Such speculation excited the pope.

Many years ago, the travel notes dictated by Marco Polo recorded the mysterious, powerful, wealthy and powerful kingdom.

European states at that time associated this kingdom with Mongolia, which had a powerful cavalry before.

It is believed that Mongolia is the Khitan in Marco Polo's mouth.

Now this discovery proves that in addition to Mongolia.

There is another country that is much stronger and richer.

At that time, Mongolia led cavalry all the way to Europe, leaving a deep barbaric impression on the people of Europe.

At that time, the Roman Catholic Church tried to make Mongolia believe in their teachings.

But after returning in vain, there is now a more powerful country, which is said to have driven the invincible Mongolian cavalry to the north.

The Holy See decided to send a missionary to see if this "Khitan" was the Ming Dynasty.

In this context, Ebon was selected.

After dressing up in disguise, Ebon set off with a sacred mission.

Because the powerful Ottoman Empire occupied the road to the East at that time.

So this missionary can only go to the East with the help of the newly emerging land and sea.

His first stop was ancient India.

After arriving in ancient India, I learned that the current Western Regions are not very peaceful.

Because this time is already in the middle and late stages of this huge empire.

Compared with the enlightened policy towards Hu merchants in the Western Regions during the heyday of Tang Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty implemented a sea ban policy and control.

The attitude towards foreign trade caravans is relatively negative, and farming is encouraged.

Because of the official's negative attitude, the road was full of dangers before reaching the border of the Ming Dynasty.

Without official protection, everything is on their own.

For this reason, Ebon could only disguise himself, find a caravan and follow him on the road.

After nearly a year of trekking, Ebon finally saw the checkpoint located in the Hexi Corridor.

Because of the policies implemented by the Ming Dynasty, the national censorship of foreign countries is now relatively strict.

Ebon also went through several days of investigation before finally being able to enter this border city.

After reaching the border city, Upen heard good news and bad news.

The good news is that while drinking tea in a teahouse, Ebon discovered that there was a Roman Catholic foothold in the capital of the Ming Dynasty at this time.

And the leader of the foothold is the believer of their church.

Moreover, he has established a firm foothold in the capital, and knows many dignitaries.

But the bad news is.

Although the Ming Dynasty now allows border cities to trade with the Western Regions under strict policies.

But if you want to enter the capital, you must follow the official regulations.

The way to enter the capital at that time was to be the envoy of the successful country's tribute.

Each country has a total of 72 places for three years.

Countries in the Western Regions went to the capital to do business in the name of "tribute".

The officials then used the name of "reward" to give their country's special products to countries in the Western Regions.

The loss of commercial circulation is enough to see that this huge kingdom is heading for decay.

Zhang Xiangyang is a playboy.

Not much is known about this period of history.

Apart from knowing the names of the dynasties, I don't know why some dynasties declined.

But at this time, Zhang Xiangyang was attracted by this story.

The frequency of drinking is also reduced, and the attention is also on the TV.

If Eben, who entered the Hexi Corridor, wants to enter the capital, he must obtain the quota of these 72 envoys.

And these 72 envoys were all officially distributed to the caravan leaders of each country.

Only by bribing these leaders can one get a place.

But in order to go to the east, there is not much money left on E itself.

So Ebon could only stay there temporarily.

But he still mustered up the courage to write a letter to his church colleagues in the capital.

But unfortunately the messenger lost his way.

It was not until a year later that Ebon once again mustered up the courage to write a letter.

This time, the letter was fortunately delivered to the capital.

Church colleagues in the capital immediately sent envoys to the Hexi Corridor.

It is a pity that when the envoy met Ebon with the envoy's quota, the situation was not optimistic.

At that time, Uben was already terminally ill, and his life was not long.

Eleven days after the envoy arrived in the Hexi Corridor, Ebon died of illness.

Eben's death also represented the presence of many caravans in the Ming Dynasty.

When they came all the way to the East.

But it was trapped by the strict policies of the East.

So many years can only be wasted.

The Ming Dynasty at that time did not know what kind of impact their policies would have on them.

All they know is that it weakens commerce and strengthens centralization.

But I don't know that the backward farming society is no longer able to keep up with the changing business economy of the outside world.

This originally prosperous "Silver Empire" finally had no foreign enemies.

Step by step towards weakness.

Standing still and not daring to change.

Dwell on the complacency of previous achievements.

And this kind of thing happened only a few hundred years later, and it happened again in the equally famous Qing Dynasty.

Also because of the seclusion of the country, the two huge dynasties are step by step towards the extent of being beaten in foreign trade.

The Hexi Corridor in this episode is a little dark.

Business brings economic prosperity, but self-sufficiency brings dynasty decline.

This has happened many times in history, and it is still repeating itself.

Although the end credits appear.

Zhang Xiangyang slowly put down the red wine in his hand.

A gleam of bright light gradually lit up in the eyes.

The TV shows the story of "Hexi Corridor".

But the Ming Dynasty in the story inspired him.

Yup!

If you stand still, no matter how prosperous a dynasty is, it will eventually perish.

Even Dynasty is like this, not to mention, what about the company?

The current company, under the management of my father, just spends money indiscriminately to promote some small artists.

Then when I take over, will this company still be useful?
If Dad Zhang only spent hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

Perhaps Zhang Xiangyang would not have such a big reaction at this moment.

But this time Dad Zhang spent [-] million yuan!

This way of spending money, no matter how much the family business is, it will only be ruined by Father Zhang!
At that time, I am afraid that I will only be able to take over a mess.

The more Zhang Xiangyang thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Under such shock, when he was restless.

At this time, the documentary on TV just finished playing the ending song.

The words "Director Xu Wen's work" appeared on the screen.

Zhang Xiangyang was taken aback for a moment.

Unexpectedly, this work that inspired me was actually written by Xu Wen.

Since he failed to pursue Hu Xiaoqing, he didn't pay much attention to Xu Wen's news.

After all, the reason why I liked Hu Xiaoqing at the beginning was because of her rebellious temperament.

He really couldn't take it down, and Zhang Xiangyang didn't have that patience anymore.

There are so many beauties in Huaguo, so many are easy to win.

There is no need to die on a tree.

But I didn't expect Xu Wen to come up with another work after such a long time.

His current impression of Xu Wen is still as a documentary director.

However, Xu Wen is no good.

But his works are barely shot.

Zhang Xiangyang gave a positive evaluation in his heart.

Then he went downstairs non-stop and drove to find his mother.

Tonight's "Hexi Corridor" is already the penultimate episode of the documentary "Hexi Corridor".

Soon after the broadcast, his popularity was basically reflected on the Internet.

Although the ratings of this documentary were a little weak in the later period, it was still very popular overall.

In the ratings form that came out the next day, it still sat firmly at the top of the ratings list.

The episode racked up a 3.9 percent rating.

And Mango TV is also starting to prepare for the finale of "Hexi Corridor" to be broadcast next week.

Right after the penultimate episode aired, commercials began airing for the finale finale.

And Chen Xianrong's greetings to Xu Wen were even warmer than before.

It seems that they want to include the second season of "Hexi Corridor".

But this time Chen Xianrong's calculation was obviously wrong.

Because Xu Wen had no intention of filming the second part at all.

There was no second part of "Hexi Corridor" in the previous life.

Now, it is impossible for Xu Wen to make a second film.

It has been broadcast until tomorrow.

How to shoot the second part.

If the second film is filmed in modern times, it is basically a tourism promotional film.

When Xu Wen filmed "Aerial Photography of Huaguo" before, he had already photographed the customs here.

There is really no need to do it again.

So Xu Wen simply didn't answer Chen Xianrong's calls the next few times.

At this time, Xu Wen was holding a meeting with Zhang Min.

"I have an idea here, it depends on whether you are interested or not."

Zhang Min pestered Xu Wen to come up with ideas for her before.

Xu Wen really thought about it after returning home.

Zhang Min was very excited at the moment.

"Say it quickly, the idea you came up with must be very good."

"Why don't you shoot food documentaries?"

As soon as Xu Wen said it, Zhang Min frowned.

"Food? But there are already too many types of food. The "Bite of Tongue" you shot alone is already at the pinnacle of food types."

"This big genre is taken by many people, but if you capture a small genre, the food is divided into barbecue and cooking."

"Then which one should I choose?"

"You can choose fruit."

"fruit?"

Xu Wen nodded.

“Fruit is one of the foods that we come into contact with the most in our daily life, but there are so many kinds of fruits in the world, in addition to the apples and pears we often come into contact with, there are many fruits in other countries and regions. Know."

"For example, I went to the south to shoot before, and there is a fruit called lotus mist over there, but many northerners in the team don't know this fruit, so you can try to take pictures."

Zhang Min listened and nodded.

Because of geographical differences, sometimes not everyone knows a lot of things.

The direction proposed by Xu Wen is indeed a very good material to shoot.

Zhang Min smiled.

"I knew you had a good idea, so I'll gather people to shoot."

After talking, I started to prepare for this project in a hurry.

As soon as Zhang Min stepped out, Hu Xiaoqing's phone call came in.

"Big news! Big news!"

"What big news?"

Xu Wen was taken aback by Hu Xiaoqing's excited appearance on the other end of the phone.

What news can make Hu Xiaoqing so excited.

Hu Xiaoqing said hastily.

"Go and see the scarf."

Hearing this, Xu Wen opened the scarf.

I saw that there were a lot of news from marketing accounts on the hot topic.

And looking at the time, it seems that they were all sent out an hour or two ago.

[Breaking news every day: big news!Just today at the filming site of "My Home", a lady broke into the filming site and slapped Xie Lingling twice in the face! 】

[Big news: Xie Lingling was slapped!Suspected of offending the big brother's wife! ! 】

[Listen to my gossip: On the set of "My Home", Xie Lingling was slapped in the face by a mysterious person! ! 】

Xu Wen was taken aback, and switched to call mode.

"What's going on here? Isn't "My Home" a work invested by Zhang Xiangyang's father? Who dares to make trouble?"

"Hahahaha, who else is there? Xie Lingling is the star that Zhang Xiangyang's father admired, and the person who beat her was Zhang Xiangyang's mother. Let me just say, Zhang Xiangyang went to his father's company to make trouble before, so it's possible that nothing happened. "

Hu Xiaoqing was very excited.

Xu Wen also smiled.

"What now?"

"Let's just wait and see the show, I guess there will be trouble."

Hu Xiaoqing chuckled.

Zhang Group.

A lady is sitting in Dad Zhang's office.

Although wearing expensive clothes.

But it couldn't hide the anger emanating from the lady's body.

Father Zhang, who was sitting opposite him, did not dare to look into the lady's eyes, and the two of them just kept silent without saying a word.

But Dad Zhang's cell phone rang "ding dong ding dong".

Apparently someone kept sending him messages again.
