Dengfeng City has such a grand reception for the crew of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer". Of course, they have a lot of understanding of Lu Chen. They know that Chenfei Media has strong strength. The films and TV series produced are all big sellers and have a great influence.
They wanted to use this influence to promote the development of local tourism with the help of The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer. But they didn't expect that Lu Chen would donate a huge sum of money to Shaolin Temple.
Everyone was stunned.
Mayor Lu was not an ordinary person after all. He kept calm and asked, "Mr. Lu Chen, what is the nature of your donation? We can discuss it. "
In his mind, Lu Chen couldn't take out 30 million for nothing. He said that he needed the support of the government to cooperate with the shooting, but he was just being polite. He had expressed his strong support before. Dengfeng's sincerity was beyond doubt.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "That is the nature of the donation. No additional conditions are needed. As long as you agree, 30 million can be transferred to your designated account tomorrow."
Lu Chen could understand the mayor's doubts. If it were him, he would also feel that it was unbelievable.
But Lu Chen didn't propose to donate 30 million because he had too much money or he was confused.
First of all, it was the need of the shooting. He didn't lie about this. Shaolin Temple was obviously not qualified to be the shooting site of the second and third part of The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer.
Of course, as Mayor Lu said, it was just a matter of changing the signboard of Songshan Temple. There was no need to go through so much trouble.
But Shaolin Temple was Shaolin Temple, which couldn't be replaced by Songshan Temple. And in Lu Chen's Wuxia IP plan, this thousand-year-old temple had a very special position.
All the Kung Fu in the world came from Shaolin!
In "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre", "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and other wuxia works, Shaolin Temple was the leader of the martial arts world. It couldn't be an old and rundown temple, right?
If Lu Chen wanted to promote Wuxia culture, he couldn't ignore Shaolin Temple. And Shaolin Temple's historical origin was also very suitable for Wuxia culture. It was easy to change the signboard of Shaolin Temple, but the most essential thing would be lost.
Therefore, not only can the Shaolin Temple not be touched, but it must also be perfected and become a real hot spot.
Now that he had invested 30 million yuan, he could get ten times or even a hundred times the return in the future. The most direct benefit was this cause and effect. In the future, it would be simple and easy to shoot in the Shaolin Temple. The local government would get substantial benefits and would also strongly support and cooperate.
The officials, including Mayor Lu, finally realized that Lu Chen was not joking. He was really going to take out real money, and he was definitely not drunk.
This was because Chen Fei 'er, Lu Xi, and the others who were sitting next to him didn't show any surprise. Obviously, they already knew about it.
Lu Chen added, "There is one thing I must emphasize. This money can only be used in the Shaolin Temple. I hope you can understand."
Mayor Lu came to his senses and laughed. "I understand. To be honest, I was a little confused just now, but I believe in the sincerity of your company. Of course, our government will strongly support you."
After a pause, he said, "But Mr. Lu Chen, with all due respect, Shaolin Temple is a historical site and also a cultural protection unit of our local area. It has not been well repaired and protected because of the lack of funds in the past, but it is reasonable to not let your company pay for this money."
The change of the mayor's words stunned everyone present.
Lu Chen and others were naturally puzzled. Did he not want the money that was delivered to his door? Did he want his face more than his money?
The subordinate officials were stunned, especially the director of the local tourism bureau, whose face turned red.
Even if this money was earmarked for special purposes, it would also be of great benefit to the overall situation of the tourism industry of Dengfeng City. Why did Mayor Lu reject the goodwill of Chenfei Media?
He wanted to shout a few times, but he didn't dare to speak. The depression in his heart was really speechless.
Mayor Lu smiled and said, "However, we really need the help of external funds, so my suggestion is to follow the Ningshan model and set up a Songshan Shaolin Temple Industrial Development Company, which will be operated by our municipal government, Shaolin Temple, and Chenfei Media. What do you think, Mr. Lu Chen?"
Lu Chen didn't expect Mayor Lu to put forward such a suggestion, but he immediately understood the other party's idea and couldn't help but admire him. This great mayor really had a high standard!
On the one hand, Dengfeng City could accept the capital investment of Chenfei Media in a righteous and dignified manner, build a new tourist hot spot around the Shaolin Temple, and promote the local tourism industry.
On the other hand, it was also to tie Chenfei Media to this chariot, which was conducive to future development.
He was following the example of Ningshan. In order to pull the crew of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" over, Ningshan directly gave up the shares of Ningshan Film and Television City to Chenfei Media. Facts proved that this was a win-win cooperation, and it could be called a commercial success.
Mayor Lu had obviously studied it before. He even said the words "Ningshan model". However, although he was the mayor of Dengfeng, it was impossible for him to completely imitate Ningshan. Ningshan's Shadow Vision City included the core essence of Ningshan scenic area. Mount Song's Shaolin Temple Industrial Development Company was also limited to Shaolin Temple.
If he gave up the shares of Songshan Scenic Area, it would inevitably be obstructed by vested interests, and Chenfei Media didn't have such a big appetite. Now it was just Shaolin Temple, the local resistance would certainly be gone, and they would give strong support.
What was rare was that Mayor Lu's proposal was undoubtedly just thought of by him, and it was not a plan that had been in his mind for a long time. But it was very in line with the actual situation, and it was also a win-win cooperation.
At this time, the leaders in charge were suddenly enlightened, and the director of the Tourism Bureau stared at Lu Chen with burning eyes.
They couldn't think of a reason for Lu Chen to refuse.
Of course, Lu Chen couldn't refuse. He looked at Lu Xi next to him and said with a smile, "I think it's good, but if you want to invest in the company, 30 million yuan is definitely not enough. We'll talk about the details later."
"In addition …"
Lu Chen turned to Chen Fei 'er and said, "Fei' er, you tell him."
Chen Fei 'er nodded and said softly, "In addition, Lu Chen and I have decided to donate another 20 million yuan in our own names for the construction of the local school in Dengfeng City and financial aid for poor students."
Mayor Lu was stunned, and his face became serious. He raised his palm.
Soon, warm applause sounded in the box!
