Chapter 1733: Chapter 822 Opening Ceremony Issues_2

Thinking about this made him a bit annoyed: "Why must the movie be released during the New Year? Can’t they wait a few days? Don’t they consider that we’re celebrating in China, and that there are so many Chinese all over the world celebrating too, you know..."

"Maybe they released it at this time exactly because they took China’s New Year into account!" Will replied solemnly.

"Don’t you think the whole world is watching America’s aircraft carrier’s mysterious disappearance with glee? Especially given the ongoing China and America relations, think about it, for us Chinese and for Chinese people all around the world, wouldn’t it be quite joyous to watch American aircraft carrier soldiers getting chased by dinosaurs during the New Year?"

This... makes a lot of sense!

Though logically speaking, it’s not appropriate to take pleasure in others’ misfortunes. But, inappropriate doesn’t mean everyone would truly act all ’humanitarian’ as they appear on the surface!

Remember, back in May, they were bombing everywhere and even ’accidentally’ bombed an embassy. To say that after the subsequent carrier disappearance, everyone would ’send their best wishes to the missing carrier’s crew,’ that’s really far-fetched!

Think about the thousands of civilians killed by the bombings and their families, the hundreds of thousands forced to flee their homes. Especially with depleted uranium bombs that later led to increasing cancer rates in the area...

The attitude of so many people towards the carrier’s disappearance is pretty obvious.

If we’re talking about humanitarianism, then which side is the one truly deserving of sympathy is quite worth pondering...

"I still need to discuss it with my wife, I’ll call you once we decide." Yan Fei said and hung up the phone, driving home to get ready to cook and take care of his wife.

Thinking about taking his wife to attend an opening ceremony shouldn’t be too bad. Even though they know the movie plot quite well and he’s seen the real ’carrier facing dinosaurs,’ watching the movie is different. The key to watching a movie is with whom you watch it; if his wife is willing to go, then why not!

The key point is that it’s farther from home. Based on Yan Fei’s experience, the farther he is from home, the more opportunities he tends to have in certain aspects—this had been proven over time...

When he got home, the meal wasn’t ready yet, Xu Xiaoyan had already rushed in energetically: "Xiaofei, how’s the gas station doing?"

"I reckon we’ll lose money for the first two months." Yan Fei said, happily stir-frying. "I did a big promotional event, didn’t expect so many people to show us face, we’ve sold a ton of fuel tickets."

"It’s alright, the early stages are about building a reputation!" Xu Xiaoyan felt a bit distressed, but still comforted Yan Fei. "As long as our fuel is good in the future, people will definitely want to come, and business will get better then."

"Yeah, yeah." Yan Fei nodded, pouring the stir-fried dish out of the wok. "Alright, let’s eat. How’s the rehearsal going? Tonight’s your big performance!"

"No problem at all." Xu Xiaoyan said confidently.

"By the way, I have something to tell you." As they sat at the dining table, Yan Fei began. "Will said the movie adapted from my novel will be released during the New Year. Two days before Lantern Festival, there’s also an opening ceremony, he said they’ve invited me to go. Do you want to go?"

"Where’s the opening ceremony?" Xu Xiaoyan hadn’t reacted yet.

"America."

"Ah?" Xu Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment. "That far! Do you want to go?"

"If you want to go, then I want to go. If you don’t, I’ll just tell Will we’re not going."

"I..." Xu Xiaoyan immediately hesitated. "Where in America? Hollywood?"

"Yeah!"

"..."

Seeing his wife’s silence, Yan Fei knew she was tempted: "If you want to go, let’s go, it’s simple. I’ll be with you! Besides, I’ve been there once, and our foreign language skills are decent, going abroad is no big deal. Last time I didn’t take you, this time you can finally go for a couple of days. How about it?"

"It’s so far!" Xu Xiaoyan still hesitated. "Even flying takes a whole day to get there. The farthest I’ve been is Frozen Soil City, haven’t been anywhere else. Not even the Capital!"

"The Capital is this far, if you want to go, you just go. We can go tomorrow." Yan Fei said decisively. "After your performance tonight, we can leave overnight and watch the flag-raising for the new millennium together in the morning."

The Capital holds a special place in the hearts of Chinese people, which could be seen from Yan Fei’s generation, growing up shouting ’it’s raining heavily, a call from the Capital, asking me to join the army...’

"Really?" Xu Xiaoyan was a bit pleasantly surprised. "My mom and dad always said it’s a must to go see the flag-raising in the Capital!"

Hearing Xu Xiaoyan’s words, Yan Fei remembered, it’s not just her parents who regret not being able to go, many people feel the same way these days. Thinking this, Yan Fei asked, "Why don’t you call and ask if they want to go, we can all go together?"

"Yeah, yeah." But this girl was a bit lacking in initiative; sometimes she had to wait for Yan Fei to say something. For small things like a trip to the Capital, she could easily go over a weekend if she wanted, but she just wouldn’t say it. Now that Yan Fei mentioned it, she got excited.
