"Are you going to Ningshan, too?"
Chen Fei 'er's idea surprised Lu Chen, "What for?"
Hearing Lu Chen's question, Chen Fei 'er asked angrily, "Can't I just go and have fun? Isn't it good for me to go with Sister Lu Xi? And … "
A faint blush appeared on her pretty face. "I can also visit your grandparents while I'm at it."
The last reason was her real purpose, wasn't it? Lu Chen surrendered, "Fine, you go first, I'll come back later."
Lu Chen should have been the most suitable person to go and have a look. After all, he was the real controller of the movie "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer". When it came to the important shooting location, he had to visit it in person.
However, the cooperation program with the Central Television Variety Channel was in full swing, so Lu Chen couldn't leave for a while. He could only let Lu Xi go first to understand the situation. Now Chen Fei 'er was also there, so it was not a big deal.
As long as she was happy!
"Then I'll wait for you in Ningshan …"
Chen Fei 'er smiled and kissed Lu Chen's face, saying, "Then be good in the capital."
Lu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Lu Xi touched her forehead and complained, "You two, can't you pay attention to your image?"
Chen Fei 'er giggled, held Lu Xi's arm and said, "Sister Lu Xi, let's go buy something for the trip."
Obviously, she couldn't wait.
On the third day after the people from Ningshan County arrived in the capital, Chen Fei 'er, Lu Xi, and several people from Chenfei Media went to Ningshan with them to have a look at the scenic area and the new Film and Television City.
Because the inspection this time was related to whether the filming site of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer could be located in Ningshan, and whether the film and television city in Ningshan could get out of the difficult situation, Ningshan County attached great importance to it. They had started to prepare for the reception before they set off.
Originally, it was enough for Ning Shan to treat Lu Xi seriously as a representative. Now, with the addition of Chen Fei'er, although the treatment was not as good as the inspection of national leaders, it was enough to cause a huge sensation in this remote county town in eastern Zhejiang!
Lu Chen didn't catch up with the excitement, but he did see on the Internet that Ningshan County had advertised Chen Fei 'er's visit to Ningshan as a "daughter-in-law returning to her mother's home." This made him speechless.
This kind of popularity … was very skillful!
But the ones who are really good at leeching off popularity are the people in the entertainment industry!
With the early publicity of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, in addition to a large number of martial arts IP hyped up, there were also a lot of star artists rushing to leech off popularity.
Among them, the hottest star was Gu Lei, the so-called "hardcore" star representative. This actor, who became an actor halfway through, was once the runner-up of the national kickboxing competition. He entered the film and television industry with his excellent skills and handsome appearance. So far, he has shot many films and TV series.
Gu Lei's famous work was The Stormy South City, which had a total box office of 150 million, and won several film awards, including the best actor.
But after The Stormy South City, Gu Lei's films were mediocre. He mainly shot action scenes, and basically didn't need a stunt double for the fighting scenes, so he was hyped up as a hardcore star, and his popularity was lower than that of the A-list.
The agency that Gu Lei signed a contract with was famous in the circle for being good at hyping up, so they certainly wouldn't miss this wave of martial arts craze. And Gu Lei was also very lucky. He was chosen by The Land Pictures as the male lead of the new film The New Seven Heroes and Five Gallants, playing the role of Zhan Zhao, one of the "Seven Gallants".
The Land Pictures was one of the top five film companies in the country, and it had produced many movies that were very popular at the box office. This time, they also targeted the martial arts TV series, and specially chose the classic novel of the Qing Dynasty, The Three Heroes and Five Gallants, to adapt it.
As a big shot in the industry, The Land Pictures obviously didn't want to just get a share of the profits. First of all, the script they chose was very clever. The story of The Three Heroes and Five Gallants was widely spread among the people. In the 1980s, it was made into a movie in Xiangjiang and released in China, so it had a good audience base.
The Land Pictures claimed to have invested 100 million yuan. In addition to Gu Lei, they also invited a large cast. Although there were no top stars, the combination of these A-list and B-list actors was quite amazing.
Originally, with Gu Lei's status, it was unlikely that he would be the first male lead in such a movie, but the company he signed a contract with was very good, plus his image and appearance were more suitable for the role, so he was lucky to be chosen.
Gu Lei knew that his popularity wasn't high enough, so he took this opportunity to hype up, and so he went up against Lu Chen!
This "hard and powerful" actor frequently appeared on variety shows and online media, and was constantly interviewed by reporters. First, he said that he played a very different Zhan Zhao, and then he thought that The New Seven Heroes and Five Gallants would become a classic of martial arts movies.
Later, he directly challenged Lu Chen in an interview.
"Lu Chen's skills are very strong. I've seen his fight with Li Zhecheng. It's very powerful and worthy of admiration."
"But fighting in reality is different from shooting a movie. In this regard, I'm not modest to say that my experience is richer than Lu Chen's, and I can make a real martial arts style!"
"The Land Pictures thinks the same, so they chose me to play the most important role."
"Zhan Zhao is a person with a very chivalrous spirit …"
"Originally, I wanted to have a real fight with Lu Chen, but it's definitely not suitable now. So, let's have a 'literary competition' through the movie, and see whose martial arts movie is more exciting!"
Under the deliberate guidance of the reporters, Gu Lei talked non-stop, as if he regarded Lu Chen as his biggest competitor, and he was very confident that he could win!
Not only that, but he also posted the interview on his blog, and then with the hype of the Internet, it quickly made it to the home page of Waves blog, and fiercely gained a large number of fans.
Many of Lu Chen's fans were very dissatisfied after seeing the video, and they left comments to scold and ridicule. As a result, it was exactly what Gu Lei wanted, and he responded on his blog continuously.
"I'm not proud, but I'm not humble either!"
"It's useless to say more, let's speak with facts!"
"Please don't scold people, I think Lu Chen's fans should be of good quality."
Gu Lei was undoubtedly very smart. Everyone knew that he was taking advantage of the popularity to hype himself up, but he acted as if he was innocent and telling the truth, which annoyed people but could not do anything about it.
Of course, the most important thing was Lu Chen's attitude, and whether Lu Chen responded or not, or how he responded, for him, there would be corresponding moves, and he would pester him as much as he could.
In the entertainment industry, Gu Lei was by no means the first person to play this kind of trick, and he would not be the last. As long as it was a popular star artist, they would never be able to avoid such harassment.
Not only Gu Lei, but there were more than one or two people in the industry who wanted to take advantage of Lu Chen's popularity, and they all changed their tactics, making Lu Chen the target of public criticism for a while.
Lu Chen's fans were very rational. After seeing through Gu Lei's intentions, they did not help him hype up, but everyone was also very concerned about how Lu Chen would deal with such a situation!
