Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 599 Engagement
After the filming of the movie was completed, Zhou Hao immediately started the post-production and editing work.

During this period, several "consultants" and "guides" also provided maximum help.

Several veteran cadres even shed tears while watching the editing materials... Although they were all steel warriors when they were young, when they look back at the past when they are old, they are more or less sad.

Their efforts and sacrifices in building the motherland are unimaginable for ordinary people.

It took Zhou Hao less than a week to complete the editing of the first version. After checking that it was correct, he submitted it directly for review.

This type of film is not like a commercial film. The review process is extremely complicated. It has to be reviewed by several departments before it can be passed. By then, you may get a lot of revision suggestions...

Therefore, Zhou Hao was prepared for a rainy day by submitting his paper early to leave himself time to revise it, so as to avoid being in a hurry and not being able to catch up when the time comes.

During this rare break, he took Xu Lingyue back to his hometown and formally completed the engagement procedures.

On the day of the engagement, almost the entire Dalui Village came out in full force to watch the fun and gather the crowds. Even Secretary Xu sent his assistant over to deliver a gift.

The Zhou family was not stingy at all. They set up a buffet in the village and everyone ate to their heart's content!

According to the elders in the village, Daliu Village has not been this lively for at least 20 to 30 years, and it is almost as lively as the Spring Festival Gala when they were young.

There was nothing special about the engagement ceremony. The only troublesome thing was that he had to worship his ancestors... As a direct descendant of the Zhou family, Zhou Hao knelt in the ancestral temple for a whole night, performing various sacrifices and pouring wine to pray for his ancestors.

Although Xu Lingyue did not need to be accompanied by someone in name, she still stayed with Zhou Hao for the entire night without complaining once.

The aunts and uncles from the village who came to help were full of praise and secretly envious: Jingyuan is such a lucky boy, and he has found a very sensible wife.

Engagement and ancestor worship is an old custom in the village, but how can young people these days endure such hardships? Everyone complained bitterly, even their own daughters and daughters-in-law often complained, and some even simply refused to accept this "pedantic" custom and ritual.

But look at Jingyuan's wife, she's such a big star, and she's not pretentious at all...

Comparing people to each other is so annoying!

At the final public engagement banquet, Xu Lingyue's grandparents appeared on the scene as representatives of the bride.

This is the only regret. Although Xu Lingyue has tried her best, her funny parents are still unwilling to accept this fact.

This situation inevitably made the villagers secretly shake their heads. How could there be such parents in the world who didn't even show up at their daughter's engagement...

Jing Yuan is not some useless guy, he is quite an outstanding person!

Young, handsome, talented, and able to make money...where can I find such a son-in-law?

However, although everyone was grumbling in their hearts, they remained quiet and no one said anything.

After all, everyone now knows Zhou Hao's status in the village, and they all rely on him to make a fortune in the future. If you offend someone because of gossiping, you will regret it!
After the engagement process was completed, Zhou Hao took the initiative to visit Secretary Xu.

After all, they brought gifts, so it's only right to go up and say thank you.

Reciprocity is a courtesy.

As a result, when Secretary Xu saw that Zhou Hao was carrying something, he was shocked on the spot, "Get out, get out, you are trying to hurt me, aren't you?"

"Secretary Xu, don't worry, it's not something valuable." Zhou Hao laughed and said, "It's just a local product from Siyuan Village, a few bottles of dried plums." "Siyuan Village?" Secretary Xu recalled for a moment, "Is it the place where you taught before?"

"Yes." Zhou Hao nodded.

"Well, I have to accept this gift." Secretary Xu happily accepted the gift and asked his assistant to make tea. "Big star, I'm a little busy. Just tell me what you want."

"I just want to inquire about the recent tourism market." Zhou Hao smiled and said, "That movie has been released for a few months. Has it boosted the village's tourism industry?"

"Yes, of course!" Secretary Xu said with a smug look on his face, "What do you think I'm busy with? It's exactly this matter."

"In the past two months, the number of people visiting our village has increased. Now the average daily number of visitors has stabilized at dozens, and it is still growing!"

Hearing this news, Zhou Hao nodded with relief, thinking that his efforts were not in vain.

"Travel agencies have also started to notice us and are vying to extend olive branches, wanting to open our route to enrich their products," said Secretary Xu.

"Once our route forms a large-scale tourist flow, it will definitely be of great benefit to the development of the village... I guess in the next few decades or even hundreds of years, the villagers will remember you for your kindness!"

Zhou Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Secretary Xu, you are joking."

"I'm not kidding." Secretary Xu said with a smile, "Your reputation in the village is much higher than mine. My words are definitely not as effective as yours."

Zhou Hao didn't dare to respond, and he changed the subject directly: "Secretary Xu, I don't think it's time to open the champagne in this situation."

"Oh?" Secretary Xu looked curious. "Tell me, what do you mean?"

"Secretary Xu, the reason why everyone is willing to come here now is because of the traffic brought by the movie. Everyone comes to take a look because they think it is new, but how long can this enthusiasm last?" Zhou Hao frowned.

"Once the novelty wears off, how many people will be willing to come here to play and check in? This is a big problem."

Secretary Xu nodded and said, "We have already thought about this issue and are currently discussing it in a meeting."

Zhou Hao's eyes lit up, "Any results?"

"There is no consensus yet," said Secretary Xu. "But the mainstream opinion is to develop one or two regular tourist attractions in the village, and then find a way to incorporate them into the travel agencies' regular routes. This will be a guarantee, no matter how big or small."

After listening to this, Zhou Hao frowned and fell silent.

"Why, do you think it's inappropriate?" Secretary Xu asked.

Zhou Hao sighed, "Secretary Xu, do you think if we only look at the scenery...what advantages do we have here?"

Secretary Xu smiled awkwardly and said, "It's okay."

It's more than just mediocre. You can see this kind of pristine mountain village scenery anywhere else. Why do you have to come to Daliu Village?
Without the popularity brought by the movie, this place has no tourist value at all.

"If you have any ideas, just tell me." Secretary Xu said.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Hao whispered: "Secretary Xu, what do you think... about turning this place into a small film and television production base to attract tourism traffic?"
