In Li Mu's opinion, it is a public welfare activity worthy of calling on the whole people to participate in the returning of cultural relics lost overseas. Therefore, he hopes to trigger and promote this activity through the opportunity of personal donation. If the donation is raised to a diplomatic event, the subsequent public welfare activities will not be carried out very well.
Moreover, Li Mu also believes that such public welfare activities should be initiated from the people, so as to be more grounded and better call on the Chinese people all over the world to work together. If it is the official voice, it will be questioned and counterproductive to some extent.
The president of the palace museum also understood the subtle difference. The main reason why he asked whether to report to the foreign ministry was that he didn't know the identity of William.
If he donates as Prince William, he must report to the foreign affairs department, or even ask for the opinions of the foreign affairs department, because this is a diplomatic event;
if he donates as a member of the Windsor family, he doesn't need to bother the foreign affairs department at all. The most important thing is to say hello, and then land in the way of private donation.
Since Prince William and Li Mu are both personally involved, he naturally has nothing to worry about.
So the dean said excitedly, "in this case, let's discuss the details of the donation ceremony, such as the date, place, guests and media to be invited."
Li Ziwei said: "the time is still uncertain, because I will go to CCTV in the afternoon to communicate whether I can cooperate with CCTV to make a donated documentary. If there is no problem with CCTV, the three parties will sit down and talk about the later affairs."
After all, Li Ziwei added: "as for the location, of course, the imperial palace is the most appropriate. After all, this is the imperial city of China for hundreds of years. If we can hold a ceremony here and shoot a documentary, we can also reflect the magnificent momentum of Chinese civilization without making a later stage."
The Dean nodded and said with a smile, "that's what I mean. Then we will set a date. The museum can announce the closing of the museum in advance."
Li Ziwei said: "thanks for the cooperation of the president, it should be necessary to close the museum at that time. After all, Prince William is also a foreign political figure to some extent, and the security level is relatively high, and Li always hopes to use this donation ceremony to show the Palace Museum to the overseas people perfectly, so a lot of image materials about the Palace Museum are needed."
After a pause, Li Ziwei added: "as for the media, what Li always means is that a small number of important media can be in place, such as CCTV, reporters from Muye technology, and then invite BBC journalists to come over, which is basically enough."
The president was overjoyed. The whole palace museum can be said to be the epitome of Chinese feudal dynasty, royal architecture and ancient civilization. If it can be displayed in front of the overseas people through this donation ceremony, it will certainly help to enhance the influence of the Palace Museum and Chinese civilization. So he immediately said: "no problem, we all cooperate with each other."
……
Li Ziwei and the leadership of the Palace Museum communicated smoothly. It was scheduled to have a morning meeting time. Within an hour, all the details had been settled. So she hurriedly called a person in charge of CCTV's docking and changed the time from afternoon to 11am. The other party agreed to come down, so Li Ziwei immediately drove to CCTV's headquarters.
In the previous telephone communication, Li Ziwei had conveyed Li Mu's idea to CCTV. CCTV heard that Li Mu wanted to invite them to shoot a documentary about Prince William's donation of Chinese cultural relics to the Palace Museum on behalf of the Windsor family, and was very interested in this invitation and the topic of the documentary.
At this time, it is the beginning of China's economic takeoff and the first stage for China to step onto the world stage. In addition, it will host the Olympic Games in a few years. Therefore, whether from the national level, or from the media and folk level, it is necessary to show China's awareness of opening up and the Chinese people's spirit of embracing all rivers and welcoming the world.
At this time, if the event of Prince William's donation of cultural relics can be pushed to the international perspective, and then the magnificence of the Forbidden City can be displayed to the audiences all over the world, the national pride of the people can be enhanced internally, and the international image of the country can be enhanced externally, so as to achieve two goals with one stone.
Because of this, the other side attaches great importance to Li Ziwei's visit and regards her reception as the highest priority of the day.
When Li Ziwei went to CCTV, Li Mu received Wendy Cooper from far away in the VIP reception room of the airport.
To Li Mu's surprise, the Goldberg family is said to have three private planes of different sizes, but Wendy Cooper even chose to fly to China on the regular flight of Air China.
Because it was not a business plane, so I couldn't pick up the plane in the business plane building, so Li Mu borrowed the VIP reception room of Air China.
Wendy Cooper was brought directly to the VIP reception room by the staff after she successfully entered the customs.
When he saw Wendy Cooper, Li Mu had a good look at the English girl who had met many times and spent several days together.
Wendy Cooper's dress is very fashionable and atmospheric. She is wearing a strong design style Chanel buttock skirt, matching her upper body with a small shirt of the same brand, matching her blonde hair, an angel like face, and a pair of white and slender legs, which is perfect.Even Li Mu, who can be regarded as a knowledgeable person, has to admit that this lady version of Scarlett Johnson with British style is more charming than the real Scarlett Johnson.
Li Mu even thought that even if Wendy Cooper was sent to the world more than ten years later, her dress would not be out of date, even with the effect of beheading men.
As soon as they met, Wendy Cooper, with a delicate smile, stepped forward to Li Mu and asked for a hug.
Li Mu naturally did not refuse, but also extended his arms to embrace her, and then made a popular European face-to-face ceremony.
Wendy's faint fragrance of perfume makes Li Mu feel distracted for a moment. Fortunately, he is also a person who has seen the world. He can bite his teeth and insist on not letting himself make a fool of himself. Otherwise, it is very likely that the scene will be made a joke by her.
After facing each other, Wendy said with a smile: "Mr. Li, we have met again!"
Li Mu nodded and smiled, and said, "I see you again. Welcome to China!"
Wendy smiled. "Thank you so much for coming to pick me up."
Li Mu said with a smile, "we are old friends. What can we do so politely?"
Wendy giggled and said, "I will study and live in China for two years in the future. These two years are necessary to trouble you. Don't worry about me then."
Li Mu nodded and said, "in China, you can contact me if you have any questions."
After that, Li Mu asked her, "did you come alone?"
Wendy nodded and smiled. "Of course, what else?"
Li Mu said with a smile, "I thought you would bring some life assistants."
Wendy said seriously, "I'm here to go to school, and I also want to integrate into the university life in China, so I decided to live in the dormitory of overseas students in Yanda, so I didn't bring any assistants."
Wendy comes to China alone to study and even plans to live in the dormitory, which makes Li Mu somewhat impressed. No matter what she does, the children of such a rich family like Wendy are usually extremely extravagant. Look at the heirs of Hilton family, they are far less rich than Goldberg family, but their life style is extravagant to the extreme. Those two generations of domestic luxury after going abroad Let alone life.
Surprised, Li Mu asked her, "by the way, when will the overseas students of Yanda start school?"
"There are still three days to report and then you can live in the bedroom," Wendy said
Li Mu said with a smile, "I've got a hotel room reserved for you. You can stay there until the report."
Wendy blinked and chuckled, "thank you, Mr. Li."
Li Mu smiled and said, "you're welcome. By the way, William lives in the same hotel as you and next door to you."
"Prince William?" Wendy said with a smile, "it's good, at least with a partner."
Then Wendy asked Li Mu, "by the way, Mr. Li, when will Prince William leave?"
"In a few days, I have something to do with him in China," said Li Mu
Looking at the time, Li Mu said: "Wendy, let's go first. William is still waiting for us to have lunch. Just give your suitcase to my driver."
After Li Mu and Wendy get out of the VIP passage and get on the bus, Wang Yuanlang also places Wendy's luggage and drives them back to the hotel.
On the way, Li Mu is chatting with Wendy. Li Ziwei calls him.
On the phone, Li Ziwei probably reported to him the communication with the Palace Museum, and said that she would go to CCTV to communicate the documentary immediately.
Li Mu asked her: "when communicating with Yang Ma, we should make clear to them. The first is that in addition to presenting William's donation of Chinese cultural relics to the Palace Museum, we should also select a number of important cultural relics lost overseas as representatives to explain in detail the distribution of these cultural relics around the world, the history of these cultural relics and China The significance of Xia culture and history, the age of the loss and the reasons for the loss. "
Li Ziwei nodded and said, "OK, Mr. Li, I see. Is there anything else?"
Li Mu added: "besides, in the documentary of Yangma, only the loss of cultural relics can be pointed out. Don't call on the whole people to help the loss of cultural relics to return to China. This kind of thing is not suitable for Yangma to talk about. After the documentary is broadcast and the people have a certain understanding of the loss of cultural relics, we can put it forward at an appropriate time, which is more natural."
"OK, I'll take it down."
"Oh, yes." Li Mu added: "you have to tell the person in charge of Yangma's side that the documentary film shooting must be atmospheric enough, especially the part of the Forbidden City, from the equipment to the use of light and the view, must be world-class, and must show the most beautiful side of the Forbidden City. If you can apply for aerial photography, it will be better."
