Jiangnan Beautiful Land, Jinling Emperor State!
Jinling is the capital of Jiangsu Province, located in the eastern part of China, downstream of the Yangtze River, near the river and offshore, with a population of over 10 million.
This city has a history of more than 6,000 years of civilization, nearly 2,600 years of city building and nearly 500 years of capital building. It is one of the four ancient capitals of China, known as "Ancient Capital of Six Dynasties" and "Capital of Ten Dynasties".
It is also an important birthplace of Chinese civilization. In history, it has blessed China several times. It has long been the political, economic and cultural center of southern China, with a deep cultural heritage and rich historical relics!
Taking the G107 high-speed train from Beijing, Lu Chen and Li Feiyu arrived at this ancient and very modern city in only three hours.
It was the first time for Lu Chen to come to Jinling to shoot his first commercial.
Half a month ago, Silver Horse Advertising Company in Beijing and Lu Chen Studio reached a cooperation agreement, inviting Lu Chen to be the brand spokesperson of Senqi sportswear. The contract period is 1 year and the contract amount is 1 million yuan.
Both sides are very satisfied with this contract.
The endorsement fee originally proposed by Silver Horse Advertising Company was 800,000 yuan, but after Lu Xi's struggle, the contract amount was finally increased by 200,000 yuan. The contract mainly includes promotional posters, commercials and so on.
Senqi is a new clothing brand on the market, focusing on the sports consumption market of young people. The reason why this brand, which is in the ascendant period, chose Lu Chen was mainly because Lu Chen was young enough and had a very healthy image.
Especially recently, under the hype of Beijing Television, his performance of "I Love You China" was exposed in advance, and he gained a high reputation both inside and outside the circle, and finally prompted the two sides to sign a contract successfully.
For his first endorsement advertisement, Lu Chen also attached great importance to it. He rushed to Jinling just after National Day.
The reason why this Senqi commercial was shot in Jinling instead of Beijing was that Senqi was a local brand in Jinling. Some of the posters that Lu Chen needed to shoot would be shot at the headquarters of Senqi.
Secondly, Jinling Film City was one of the top three film cities in the country. It was large in scale and had advanced facilities. It had Xiangjiang Road, Minguo Street, Ming and Qing Palace, Qin Palace, Along the River During the Qingming Festival, Buddhist Temple and Taoist Temple, and many other large-scale real-life buildings.
In addition, Jinling had many historical sites, countless gardens, and a modern metropolis cluster. Therefore, many film companies and TV series production units in Beijing used Jinling as a fixed shooting base. Every year, countless celebrities entered and left Jinling.
Moreover, there are many local film and television companies in Jinling. Silver Horse Advertising Company in Beijing has a branch in Jinling. It is very convenient to shoot commercials and can save a lot of costs.
For example, the Senqi commercial that Lu Chen is going to shoot involves urban scenes. If it is shot in the capital, the issue of approval alone can give people a headache. The capital is quite strict in this regard.
In Jinling, this wasn't a problem at all. Not to mention the Film Studio City, even if they wanted to shoot in the city, the government had a green channel to encourage and support the film industry.
Therefore, if everything went well, Lu Chen would be able to finish shooting the advertisement and posters in a day or two.
He could easily earn one million.
When the high-speed train arrived at the station, Lu Chen and Li Feiyu got off the train.
At the exit gate, the sharp-eyed Li Feiyu was the first to find a young man holding a reception card.
The two big words "Lu Chen" were very conspicuous.
Before leaving for Jinling, Lu Chen Studio had negotiated with Silver Horse Advertising Company. When Lu Chen arrived here, the other party's branch would arrange for accompanying personnel and accommodation.
This young man in a blue T-shirt was undoubtedly the person sent by Silver Horse Advertising Company to greet him.
Lu Chen passed the ticket gate and walked directly to the other party. He smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Lu Chen."
The other party was stunned at first, but then he came to his senses. He hurriedly put down the sign and shook hands with Lu Chen.
"Hello, hello, Mr. Lu Chen, hello …"
This time, Lu Chen was wearing a pair of sunglasses, so Chuyi didn't immediately recognize him.
Although there was no large amount of hype and publicity, Lu Chen was now a little famous. He was often recognized by fans when he went out and walked on the road. Wearing sunglasses was just to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting. Let's go."
Probably because he didn't expect Lu Chen to be so polite, Chuyi was so excited that his face turned red. He was a little incoherent: "No, not long. The car arranged by the company is outside. I … I'm Lu Ze from Silver Horse. Call me Xiao Lu."
Lu Chen nodded and introduced Li Feiyu to him: "This is Li Feiyu, Li Ge, my assistant."
"Hello, hello!"
Lu Ze should be a newcomer who had just come out of society. He didn't have much work experience and wasn't good at interpersonal communication.
In other words, Silver Horse Advertising Company sent him to greet and accompany Lu Chen, which was somewhat suspected of negligence.
However, Lu Chen didn't care, or to be more precise, he didn't have the airs of a star.
He wouldn't do such a thing as acting like a big shot.
The car that picked up Lu Chen was just an ordinary Buick business car. The driver was a silent middle-aged man. After everyone got on the car, he drove all the way to a hotel near Jinling Film and Television City in Jiangning District.
In terms of hotel accommodation, Silver Horse Advertising Company followed the provisions of the contract and arranged a five-star hotel.
Now was the National Day golden holiday. Even if it was booked in advance, it would be difficult to find a room around the Film and Television City, as a tourist hotspot in Jinling. Being able to arrange for Lu Chen to stay in a nearby five-star hotel undoubtedly showed the power of Silver Horse.
The only problem was that the room booked was an ordinary standard room, not a business suite.
When stars go out to work, they usually discuss the treatment conditions with the reception party in advance, such as means of transportation, hotel standards, etc. The more famous the artist, the more detailed the requirements.
There were often star artists who lost their temper and even went on strike because the reception standards of their partners did not meet their own requirements. As a result, they were published in the entertainment gossip news.
Many artists regarded face as more important than life. Even if their status was not high enough, they would find ways to improve the treatment.
Lu Ze felt very sorry for this: "Mr. Lu Chen, the hotel room is too tight now. As early as two months ago, the business suites of the five-star hotels here have been booked. If you think it's not appropriate, then …"
"It doesn't matter …"
Lu Chen smiled faintly and interrupted his explanation: "The standard room is very good, thank you."
Lu Ze couldn't help but breathe a big sigh of relief: "It's my duty, my duty!"
What he was most afraid of was that Lu Chen would lose his temper. At that time, in order to appease the latter's anger, the company would definitely put the blame on him and let him take the blame.
A few days ago, Lu Ze received an artist who also came to shoot a promotional video. Because the car that picked him up was a Buick business car instead of a Mercedes-Benz, he actually turned hostile on the spot and wanted to leave, which made him anxious.
Although the company urgently transferred a Mercedes-Benz over later, Lu Ze was criticized internally on the grounds of inconsiderate reception. He had to come to work as usual during the National Day holiday to atone for his mistakes.
At that time, Lu Ze was so wronged that he really wanted to quit.
But good jobs were too hard to find now. The treatment of Silver Horse was first-class in the industry, so he could only endure it.
Fortunately, this time, Lv Ze did not run into an unreasonable person.
Originally, the company arranged for a Mercedes-Benz business car to pick up Lu Chen, but because another star temporarily changed the itinerary, the Mercedes-Benz was called over, and he could only continue to use a Buick.
On the way here just now, Lu Ze's heart was anxious and fearful.
Lu Chen's tolerance and understanding really moved him.
The assistant of Silver Horse Company asked politely, "Mr. Lu Chen, if you are not tired, I will accompany you to the Confucius Temple to taste the local specialties, and then play by the Qinhuai River. What do you think?"
Lu Chen nodded and said, "A guest should follow the host's wishes. You can arrange it."
He had known about the Qinhuai River for a long time. Since he was here, he naturally wanted to enjoy the legendary Qinhuai River.
After settling down, Lu Chen and Lu Ze followed Lu Ze to the Confucius Temple.
After a sumptuous dinner in the century-old Savant's Building, the three of them went for a night tour of the Qinhuai River.
During this period of time, Lu Chen had been working hard for his career. Today, he had a rare opportunity to relax.
Therefore, he temporarily put his work and responsibilities aside.
The scenery of the Qinhuai River was the most prosperous and lively in the area around the Confucius Temple. The street was bustling with people. There were restaurants and tea houses on both sides of the river. There were countless shops selling handicrafts and traditional snacks. The shop signs were flashing with neon lights, which set off the scenery on the river.
Wuyi Lane, Zhuque Bridge, Wangxietang Qianyan, the former relics had already become such a bustling tourist place. Countless tourists were walking through the streets and alleys of the Confucius Temple, or taking a cruise ship on the water.
On the riverside where the willows drooped, many old people sat around a table, drinking tea and playing chess, enjoying themselves.
At night in the Qinhuai River, the moon was warm and the stars were bright. The sound of oars on the river was bursting with lights. From time to time, the beautiful sound of flute with silk strings came from the richly ornamented cruise ship, making people feel as if they had traveled through ancient time and space.
Lu Chen strolled between the corridors on the riverbank, smelling the fragrance of the vines and flowers wrapped around the wooden frame and listening to the gurgling sound of the Qinhuai River. He couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy.
Looking from the railing on the Wende Bridge, he saw Big and small light boats shuttling back and forth. The pedestrians on the boats held cameras and mobile phones to take pictures everywhere, flashing frequently.
Some people pointed the camera at Lu Chen standing on the bridge, laughing and recording his image.
This scene reminded Lu Chen of a famous poet's poem — You stand on the bridge to enjoy the scenery, and the people who enjoy the scenery look at you from upstairs. The bright moon decorates your window, and you decorate other people's dreams.
Although he didn't drink to his heart's content, he felt drunk.
