"There is no way to do this. Every inch of land in Yanjing is valuable, and there are people living in places as big as bathrooms. The houses on both sides of the alley cover such a large area, but they can't accommodate a few people at all. It's a waste of resources. After being converted into a skyscraper, a courtyard house that could only accommodate more than a dozen can be accommodated hundreds of them.

This alley can accommodate at least 100,000 people. It is said that if you have tens of millions of buildings to shelter all the poor people in the world! For the people's livelihood and welfare of 100,000 people, demolition is essential." Xia Tian explained to Wang Qixian.

In fact, demolition does have advantages and disadvantages. The good news is that the land resources after demolition can be used more effectively, give full play to greater value, and are also conducive to economic development; the disadvantage is that these old houses are historical memories and hundreds of years of feelings, and they will be gone after demolishing.

However, in Xia Tian's opinion, it is actually better to demolish it. Because he has bought all the alleys. After demolishing them in the future, all of them will be built into skyscrapers, and his profit will be at least 30 billion yuan.

On the contrary, if these alleys are retained and these courtyards are sold in scattered, he can only make at most 30 billion yuan. The profit difference is ten times huge. After all, he is a businessman in summer, rather than a noble artist who regards money as dirt, so he naturally chooses more profitable ones.

"But if these alleys are demolished, where can I appreciate the charm of the Old Yanjing Hutong in the future?" Wang Qixian said regretfully.

"Don't worry, not all the alleys in Yanjing will be demolished, and some of them will definitely be retained. Besides, if many people really miss the old Yanjing Hutong, then it is not ruled out that real estate developers will find another place to build alleys and do tourism.

Just like we are at Shanghigaide Film and Television City, we ask experts and scholars to help consultants, and then invite a first-class construction team to ensure that they can imitate it like a lot." Xia Tian smiled.

"It's really a fake one after I've dismantled it? Alas!" Wang Qixian shook his head.

"Okay, don't be so sentimental. China has been around for five thousand years, and it has been ruined for so many things, so it's not worth regretting them." Xia Tian advised, "Nothing else, but how many good things have Old Yanjing eliminated over the years?

Xihe drum, plum blossom drum, lotus fall, bamboo board writing, piano script, single string and other various folk arts, as well as various time-honored brands, special snacks, etc.

These are all things that cannot keep up with the trend of the times. They can only survive the fittest, and there is no need to be sad for them. Chu Ci, Han poetry, Tang poetry, Song and Yuan lyrics, are they not good? Isn’t they all lost now?”

"Yeah." Wang Qixian nodded, "By the way, Brother Tian, ​​can you really not save any of these folk arts like you said?"

"Save it is difficult to save because their survival soil is gone. The reason why Old Yanjing has such folk art was because there were too many petty citizens at that time. Their entertainment methods were to listen to music, opera, and juggle, so these artists could live on these petty citizens.

But now the leisure and entertainment of the citizens has long changed. There are many kinds of TV series, movies, dance halls, karaoke, even travel, going abroad, etc.

And those operas and musical arts are old jokes from decades or even hundreds of years ago. Where does it attract these young audiences? So, it is certain that they were eliminated. If they were to save them, it would be difficult to reproduce their past glory, and at most they would just survive."

"I think I need to save it. After all, it has been circulated for hundreds of years. If the inheritance is cut off in our generation, it would be a pity." Wang Qixian shook his head and said.

"Let's take a look." Xia Tian nodded, "Many folk arts are cultural heritages. If they can be successfully applied for World Heritage, it will be a helping for their inheritance."

Wang Qixian nodded, "I think this is a good way, and I should promote it. Brother Tian, ​​you have such a high status in the international community and have such influence, so you should help them."

"This is not that easy to help. It is not a matter of one or two days to promote the application for World Heritage, and it also requires too many things to do. I think if you are interested, you can help do something." Xia Tian smiled.

Applying for intangible cultural heritage is not an easy task. First, whether an intangible cultural heritage is qualified to apply for requires strict data collection, review and screening; second, whether the application can be passed also requires a lot of experience in public relations, marketing, and a long waiting time to come back.

These things are not something that cannot be done in summer, but the cost-effectiveness is too low. Instead of focusing on applying for the intangible cultural heritage, focusing on the development of the company in summer can help the country create more jobs and more taxes.

So it is better to leave this matter to Wang Xiaoxian. In fact, she is also an internationally renowned movie star, not to mention Xia Tian’s wife, and her influence and exposure in the international community are also very high. It is also appropriate for her to match and promote the application for intangible cultural heritage.

On the one hand, after Wang Xiaoxian left the entertainment industry, she did not do much work. She went to Tianjin Film and Television School to teach classes, which was actually more of a pastime. Promoting the application for World Heritage is a more fulfilling job for her.

On the one hand, promoting the application for World Heritage is a very meaningful and fulfilling public welfare undertaking. As a public figure, Wang Xiaoxian is engaged in public welfare undertakings, which has greatly improved her image.

This is actually one of the big reasons why many celebrities are keen on charity.

"Well, it makes sense." Wang Qixian nodded when he heard what he said.

After she quit the entertainment industry, she actually hasn't found the right thing to do. She went to Tianjin Film and Television School to teach, just for fun.

In fact, she also wants to do something more meaningful, after all, she is only 32 years old this year. If she just stays at home every day and sighs at the world, then when will she survive until she die? Wouldn’t it be like a pig in captivity?!

What's more, Xia Tian's career has been developing rapidly over the years, and has also done many major things that benefit the country and the people, which also makes her feel that the gap between herself and Xia Tian is getting bigger and bigger.

She has read some books, which said that the most important way for couples to get along is to go hand in hand. Otherwise, once they fall behind too much, they will become dragged down and will be disliked by others.

She was finally an internationally renowned movie star before, very famous and beautiful, and she is worthy of summer. After all, Grace Kelly was also the princess of Monaco.

But now that she has quit the entertainment industry, her fame has become increasingly depressed. If she doesn't do anything, she may not have the shame to stand beside Xia Tian, ​​and can only hide behind him, and is called "Summer's Woman".
