Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already mid-October.
Lu Chen spent the whole of September and early October basically busy with the filming of TV series. He spent more time in Huairou Film and Television City than at home.
Because he was too busy, he even declined the invitation to perform at Beijing Television's National Day Party.
The main reason was that "You from the Star" was too popular. Since its broadcast, the ratings have been high. It has broken through the category of phenomenal TV series and broken records in China and South Korea.
The schedule of two episodes a week has put a lot of pressure on the crew. In order to ensure quality, overtime is a common thing. As the male and female protagonists, Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er don't have much free time.
However, in mid-October, Lu Chen still managed to squeeze out a few days.
He was going to the United States.
There are two main reasons for Lu Chen to fly to the United States this time.
First of all, the listing of online crowdfunding on NASDAQ in the United States has already made progress, and it can even be said that success is imminent, requiring him, the founder and owner of 10% of the shares, to go to the other side of the ocean.
Li Mushi, who had been planning the listing of online crowdfunding in the United States earlier, made more than a dozen phone calls to Lu Chen, and finally threatened him that if he didn't come, she would fly back to Beijing in person to teach him a lesson.
Not to mention Lu Chen's personal friendship with Li Mushi and Li Mubai, his development since his debut has been smooth and has not experienced too many twists and turns. He is more or less indebted to the shelter of the big tree known as the Li family.
Otherwise, it would be strange if no one covets someone like Lu Chen, who has no background and has done so many profitable businesses!
Therefore, it is reasonable to say that Lu Chen should also help Li Mushi solve the problem. After all, if online crowdfunding goes public, his 10% shares will be worth at least hundreds of millions, and it's US dollars!
Secondly, Lu Chen also has plans to visit the United States to find a first-class special effects company that can cooperate with him for a long time to improve the strength of Chen Fei Media in this regard.
Special effects production was an industry that required long-term investment, and it was also an industry where money flowed like water. It was impossible to rush for quick success. The most important thing was that talents did not fall from the sky. They needed to be carefully cultivated and accumulated.
Once they reached an agreement with Merika, Chenfei Media would arrange for batches of personnel to study in Merika and gradually improve the standard of special effects production.
At present, the special effects team under Chenfei Media can barely cope with the production of special effects for a TV series like "You from the Star", but it is much worse for a big movie.
The filming of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer was already on the schedule, so the cooperation training plan couldn't be delayed any longer. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good for them to cram at the last minute.
…
Beijing International Airport, Terminal T1.
At the security checkpoint, the couple who were about to part were still reluctant to part.
Chen Fei'er adjusted Lu Chen's collar for the last time and said, "Call me first when you arrive in the United States."
"Got it …"
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I promise that when I arrive there, the first thing I will do after I get off the plane is to call you to tell you that I am safe!"
Chen Fei'er had said the same words several times, as if he would go to the United States and never come back. In fact, this time Lu Chen would only stay in the United States for five or six days at most.
"Then go through the security checkpoint quickly!"
Chen Fei'er was finally satisfied. He stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips. He said, "I will wait for you to come back."
Lu Chen nodded, picked up his luggage, and went to the security checkpoint with his assistant.
When passing through the security checkpoint, he turned around and waved at Chen Fei'er.
The latter blew him a kiss.
After passing the security checkpoint, Lu Chen and his assistant waited in the VIP lounge for more than half an hour, and successfully boarded the direct flight from Beijing to New York in the United States.
He boarded the flight of Zhenmei Airlines, the second largest airline in the United States. He boarded the latest Boeing 798, which had just been put into operation.
The Boeing 798 was a new generation intercontinental passenger plane launched by the Boeing Company. It could carry more than 400 passengers at the same time, and its flight speed was close to the speed of sound. It only took a little more than 10 hours to fly from Beijing to New York.
The company booked business class seats for Lu Chen and his assistant because Zhenmei Airlines' Boeing 798 flights were very popular. If they were late, the first-class seats would have long been sold out.
However, the facilities in the business class of the 798 were no less than the first-class seats of ordinary flights. A person of Lu Chen's height could also sit comfortably. The cabin also provided satellite Internet service, so the journey was not lonely.
This time, Lu Chen brought an assistant to the United States.
Unlike many celebrities who liked to be surrounded by people, Lu Chen had always been very low-key when he traveled. He usually only had one assistant, at most two or three.
This time, he was going to the United States, mainly for business matters, so he did not bring Zhang Xiaofang, who had been following him, but asked the company to arrange another assistant for him.
The assistant was named Wang Yan, 32 years old this year. She had studied in the United States for many years and had a double master's degree in finance and law. She had just returned to China the year before last.
Wang Yan had nothing to do with the entertainment industry, and she was not an employee of Chenfei Media. She was temporarily hired by Lu Xi through her connections to help Lu Chen deal with business affairs in the United States. She was considered a business assistant.
Wang Yan's appearance was very beautiful. Although she was in her thirties, because of good maintenance, she looked twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Her figure was also first-class.
But she was not the kind of pure good-looking vase. She was very smart and powerful. She currently worked in a business agency. Because this company had a business cooperation with Chenfei Media, she had dealings with Lu Xi.
Lu Xi had a deep impression of Wang Yan, so she specifically asked her for help this time.
After all, this time Lu Chen was going abroad to negotiate. Lu Xi had no experience in this area and was powerless. She was afraid that Lu Chen would be cheated and could not guarantee her own interests, so she looked for Wang Yan.
Therefore, in terms of treatment, Wang Yan was different from ordinary assistants. She sat in business class with Lu Chen.
Most of the people in business class were foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes.
Wang Yan first met Lu Chen two days ago. She had no interest in pop music, movies, and TV. Although she knew what kind of person Lu Chen was, she did not have any thoughts about Lu Chen.
However, Lu Chen was a big star. Out of curiosity and the needs of work, after sitting down, Wang Yan tried to find some topics to talk to him.
After all, the two would be in the United States for a few days. They could establish a good relationship and get along well.
After chatting, Liu Yan found that Lu Chen did not have the slightest air of a big star. He was almost like an ordinary boy next door, so the two sides quickly became familiar.
