Beijing Hotel is not the largest and most luxurious hotel in the capital area, but it is undoubtedly the most famous.
Beijing Hotel is one of the first foreign-related hotels in China. As early as the 1950s, it was an important place to receive foreign guests and hold international conferences, and it still plays a great role in related affairs.
It is precisely because of its special status in the industry that money is not enough to hold meetings or banquets in Beijing Hotel. First, one must have sufficient qualifications.
The ceremony and media press conference to award Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er the "South Korean Jeju Island Tourism Ambassadors" was held in the No. 3 conference hall of Beijing Hotel.
In addition to the two studios that hosted the ceremony, they also received strong support from Beijing Television and SPG. Those who came to the scene to attend the ceremony included a cultural counselor from the South Korean Embassy in China, cultural officials from the Beijing Municipal Government, representatives from Jeju City and so on. The standard was quite high.
In addition, more than a hundred media outlets, as well as friends of Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er in the circle were invited.
Participating in the grand event together!
At 6: 20 p.m., Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er arrived at the ceremony.
Tonight, Lu Chen wore a black Armani suit with a white shirt, looking very handsome, while Chen Fei 'er was dressed up. A gorgeous evening dress perfectly showed off her figure, and she became the target of many media reporters present.
Tan Hong, Liao Jia, Lin Shengjie, Qin Hanyang, The Bionics, MSN, Little Tigers … Even Tian Tian took time out of her busy schedule to come to Beijing to support the two.
Tonight's Beijing Hotel can be described as star-studded. Although there was no red carpet ceremony, it made the media reporters on the scene feel that the trip was worthwhile, and they had enough material to take back.
The awarding ceremony began at 7 o 'clock sharp.
First, the cultural counselor of the South Korean Embassy in China spoke. In his speech, he praised Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er for their contribution to the cultural exchange between China and South Korea, and welcomed more Chinese friends to travel and shop in South Korea.
Then officials from the Beijing Municipal Government came on stage to speak.
Finally, the representative of Jeju City, Korea awarded the two with the honorary title of "Jeju Island Tourism Ambassadors".
When Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er respectively received the certificate and the golden key from the Korean official representative, the audience burst into thunderous applause, setting off a wave of celebration.
Although there wasn't much pay to be a tourism ambassador, it was a commendable honor for any artist, especially when the two of them were foreign tourism ambassadors.
This was unprecedented in the domestic entertainment industry, and it was the same in Korea. It was definitely an honor.
If it weren't for the miraculous ratings of "Autumn in My Heart" in South Korea, which gave them a large number of fans in South Korea, this honor wouldn't have fallen on their heads.
This represented official recognition.
South Korea used this opportunity to promote tourism and attract tourists from the mainland, while Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er used this opportunity to better expand the South Korean market, using South Korea as a springboard to radiate influence to the Southeast Asian countries. It could be said to be a win-win cooperation.
After the simple but grand ceremony, the Cultural Counselor of the Korean Embassy in China and the Beijing Municipal Government left first, and the press conference continued in the conference hall.
When Lu Chen faced the reporters at the high-speed rail station during the day, it wasn't without reason that he asked them to come here to ask questions.
First of all, he eliminated the small media reporters who liked to make trouble out of nothing, because these people couldn't even enter the Beijing Hotel. Second, because of the standard of the press conference and the presence of many official media, it was enough to shut the mouths of those with ulterior motives, or at least not dare to ask some controversial questions.
This way, Lu Chen could deal with it much more easily.
The first to ask questions were naturally the official media reporters, and the questions were basically related to the "Tourism Ambassadors". Some questions were asked of Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er, and some were asked of the Korean representative. It was very official.
After the two sides talked for more than ten minutes, finally, a reporter couldn't help but stand up and ask, "Mr. Lu Chen, I'm a reporter from Easy Net Entertainment. First of all, congratulations on winning the honor of Tourism Ambassadors. May I ask if your new drama 'Full of Romance' will also be broadcast in South Korea?"
This question was obviously just a prelude. Lu Chen nodded and replied, "Yes, and it will premiere at the same time as in China, so that the Korean audience can see our new work as soon as possible."
The reporter immediately asked, "It is said that your new drama will be broadcast this month, and according to my understanding, there are more than ten TV series of the same genre premiering this month, including Shonan TV's' Sea of Love '. So, in such a fierce competition, what is your goal for the ratings of your work?"
This reporter's question was probably what many of his colleagues wanted to ask. Although he didn't directly mention Hu Yang's name, the latter had threatened to beat Lu Chen in the ratings a few days ago.
In the face of Hu Yang's challenge, what would Lu Chen's attitude be? This was the question that everyone was most concerned about.
And Lu Chen was already prepared for such a question. He answered calmly, "Average of 3 to exceed 4."
"What?"
The reporter was confused. "Can you explain?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I said that my goal for the ratings of 'Full of Romance' is to average 3 to exceed 4%, with an average of 3% and a maximum of 4%. Is that clear enough?"
An average of 3% and a maximum of 4%!
There was a sudden exclamation in the conference hall. Many people couldn't believe their ears.
As entertainment media reporters who attended this press conference, they had a basic and even in-depth understanding of the ratings of domestic TV series.
At present, it was considered a success if the average ratings of domestic TV series could reach 1%. The highest rating of 'Autumn in My Heart' filmed by Lu Chen last year exceeded 3%, which was a phenomenal record-breaking result.
Now that he had said that the average ratings would exceed 3%, it was not as simple as an increase of 1%.
It was not like 20 or 30 years ago. At that time, entertainment was relatively scarce. Watching TV had become the most common way for ordinary people to relax. It was easy for a classic TV series to reach tens of percent, and there were even scenes of tens of thousands of people coming out to watch TV.
Nowadays, entertainment had become extremely popular. There were as many TV stations as there were hairs on an ox. New media had seized resources. Most domestic TV series' ratings were within 1%.
Although Lu Chen had the success of 'Autumn in My Heart', his target for the new TV series was 4%. That was really shocking.
Wasn't he afraid that the wind would cut his tongue?
In such a formal occasion and with such a formal expression, even if Lu Chen wanted to deny it, he couldn't do it. Once he didn't achieve the target result, then his face would be greatly shaved, even if he didn't lose all his face.
If this was Lu Chen's counterattack against Hu Yang and Shonan TV, then his counterattack was too ruthless.
He was ruthless to his opponent and even more ruthless to himself!
Many reporters were excited. They could smell the thick smell of gunpowder!
