There had just been a light rain, and the sky had returned to clear skies. Under the scorching sun, the water vapor on the ground was rising thickly, bringing humidity and heat, and at the same time, it also gave people a feeling that the surrounding scene was unreal.
Although the weather is not so pleasant, the West Lake is still crowded with people at noon.
As one of the seven ancient capitals, Hangzhou is also one of the most famous tourist attractions in China. It receives more than 70 million tourists every year. Especially during holidays, the major scenic spots are simply packed.
Crowded and beautiful, these are Lu Chen's deepest impressions of this hometown and provincial capital.
And here, he also had countless beautiful memories.
However, when Lu Chen returned to Hangzhou again after more than a month, he felt a bit strange.
Fortunately, he still remembered the way to the restaurant, otherwise he would have embarrassed himself in front of several friends.
After passing through the long alley, what appeared in front was a large antique house with white walls and green tiles and green trees. The red door was open. Four big red lanterns hanging under the eaves had four inscriptions written on white backgrounds.
Black letters.
Bailu Restaurant.
But I saw a couplet posted on the pillars on the left and right in front of the door: Two orioles singing in the green willows/A row of egrets ascending to the blue sky.
"Brother Lu Chen, is this a restaurant?"
Mu Xiaochu looked around curiously, his dark eyes full of surprise.
No wonder she was surprised, because this place didn't look like a restaurant at all, but the garden house of an ancient gentry, with the air of a scholarly family coming and going.
Lu Chen smiled and said: "This was originally a residence of Jinshi, and it has been converted into a restaurant for many years."
Bailu Restaurant is a century-old brand that specializes in local Hangzhou cuisine and has many branches in Hangzhou.
But the most authentic one is the Bailu Restaurant on the edge of the West Lake. The chef in charge is a first-class chef.
If you came here at last minute, there would definitely be no seats. Lu Chen happened to have a VIP membership card for Bailu Restaurant, so he could reserve a private room if he made an advance reservation.
It was his first time to eat at Bailu Restaurant since the accident at home.
In addition to Mu Xiaochu, he was also accompanied by Li Feiyu and two members of the "Singing China" tour team.
Zhang Junhua and Lin Lang.
Zhang Junhua is two years older than Lu Chen. He graduated from Beiyin Music Department of Modern Music. In the top 10 singing competition in Beijing, he once topped the total score with his original song "Ocean of Love". He was later surpassed by Lu Chen.
Despite this, Zhang Junhua is also a very talented young singer and is said to have signed a contract with an entertainment company.
Lin Lang is a contestant in the Shengjing singing area. In the first PK match, he defeated Zuo Qiu Qing and joined the touring team.
Lin Lang is the same age as Mu Xiaochu. He is also a college student. He has a lively and active personality, is good at rapping and can sing and dance. He also has his own original works, so he is quite popular in the team.
"Singing China" national tour PK, the first top 10 in Beijing, after the first stop in Shengjing, the second stop in Shanghai and the third stop in Hangzhou, only Lu Chen, Zhang Junhua and Mu Xiao are left
Junior three.
The top 10 in each major singing area are not weak, so the competition is very cruel!
The competition in the Hangcheng singing area ended last night, and today the program team and the singing team will stay here for another day. They will fly to Tianfu, the next stop, tomorrow.
Therefore, as a native of this province, Lu Chen naturally had to do his best to invite Zhang Junhua and Mu Xiaochu out to play.
After three PK matches, the three of them have gotten to know each other a lot and can be considered ordinary friends.
Li Feiyu has always followed Lu Chen as an assistant.
As for Lin Lang, this guy has a familiar personality, and he seems to like Mu Xiaochu a bit, so he also followed him.
Lu Chen didn't care, it was just an extra pair of chopsticks anyway.
After showing their VIP gold cards to the waiter at the restaurant, the five of them quickly arrived at the reserved private room.
The private room is a small one. The completely antique decoration is very elegant. When you open the window, you can see the green bamboo forest and pond outside. There is a cool breeze and it is not hot at all.
"Brother Chen, this place is really nice!"
Lin Lang exclaimed: "Have you come here often before? It must be very expensive, right?"
When we came out today, we agreed that Lu Chen would treat us. But no one expected that he would bring everyone to a place like this.
Lin Lang was still young, so he felt a little embarrassed.
Lu Chen smiled and said: "I have been here twice before, and the membership cards were given by others. The consumption here is actually not expensive."
Although Bailu Restaurant is a century-old restaurant, its consumption level has always been very popular, as long as you don't order big dishes. Even ordinary working-class people don't feel any pressure to have a meal, so business is extremely booming.
The price of this main store by the West Lake is slightly higher, but it is still within the acceptable range.
The key is that the Hangzhou cuisine here is the most authentic, so Lu Chen naturally wants to treat a few friends to the real delicious food.
Lu Chen's VIP card was a small gift given to him by a friend from Lu Qingsheng's shopping mall.
He has brought his girlfriend here for dinner several times.
Unfortunately, things have changed now, my father passed away for some reason, and my girlfriend broke up early.
Only this Bailu Restaurant remains unchanged.
With a hint of sadness in his heart, Lu Chen called the waiter to take his order.
While waiting for the food to be served, Li Feiyu took out the digital camera and turned it on, and first pointed the lens at Lu Chen.
Li Feiyu followed Lu Chen all the way as an assistant, and his main task was to record and broadcast Lu Chen's tour PK experience to hundreds of thousands of fans on [Whale TV].
For fans, this is undoubtedly a very new thing. Every night, there are more than 500,000 viewers waiting in front of the computer for the show to start. Lu Chen can still earn a lot of rewards while going out to compete.
In fact, it is also possible to use a mobile phone to live broadcast outdoors, but in order to ensure the quality of the content, Li Feiyu basically records it first during the day, and then uses software for simple editing after returning home.
Lu Chen will host the broadcast himself when he is free. If there is a competition, Li Feiyu will do the live broadcast instead.
Through such interactive exchanges, the number of fans is increasing, and Lu Jiajun continues to grow.
These enthusiastic and lovely fans are undoubtedly one of the important foundations for Lu Chen to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry!
Therefore, regardless of the contract reasons, Lu Chen would not give up the webcast job easily.
He is also constantly exploring better ways to interact with live broadcasts.
Li Feiyu, who was holding a camera, smiled and said: "This is a rare opportunity. Dachen, please say hello to everyone first, and then I will take pictures of some future big star friends!"
Lu Chen smiled and waved his hands and said: "Hello everyone, I am your anchor Lu Chen. We are now at the Egret Restaurant by the West Lake in Hangzhou. We are inviting three friends from the touring team to have dinner together."
"This is the little Chu sister that everyone likes!"
The camera lens immediately focused on Mu Xiaochu, who smiled shyly and waved: "Hello everyone."
Today Mu Xiaochu wore a plain white short skirt, which looked like a small white flower, with a soft beauty.
Lu Chen had a good impression of this shy school girl, but it was not a relationship between a man and a woman, but the kind of care a brother gave to his sister, so he often took care of her along the way.
I took photos of Mu Xiaochu, then Zhang Junhua and Lin Lang, both of whom were very respectable.
After Li Feiyu finished taking the photo, Lin Lang asked curiously: "Brother Chen, are you taking this photo for publicity?"
Lu Chen explained: "No, it was played for others to watch at night. Do you know the network anchor?"
Mu Xiaochu, Zhang Junhua and Lin Lang nodded at the same time.
Lu Chen laughed and said, "I am a contracted network anchor, so what I am filming now can be regarded as material."
This is not some hidden secret, there is nothing hard to say.
Lin Lang's eyes widened in surprise: "Brother Chen, I thought you were signed by a big company! How could you have thought of doing this? Is it very profitable to be a host?"
Although he didn't mean it, there was still a bit of an unpleasant tone in his tone when talking about online anchors.
Zhang Junhua also looked disapproving.
Network anchoring is a new profession that has emerged in the past two years. Due to the low entry threshold and fierce competition, there have been a lot of negative news in the industry. For example, female anchors sell meat and breasts, and there are frequent incidents of having no bottom line and trying to get a position.
Corresponding media reports are often biased, giving people a bad impression of the industry.
Neither of them expected that Lu Chen's current occupation was actually a grassroots network anchor. With his strength and talent, he could sign a contract with a big company, and there was no need to compromise like this.
Lu Chen saw the expressions of both of them and said with a smile: "I am an independent artist and do not plan to sign with an entertainment agency. In fact, being an online anchor is very interesting. It is nothing more than singing, singing and laughing performances, and I can make many friends."
"
"If you have a chance, you can also try it."
Lu Chen had no intention of overturning the prejudices between the two of them, because there were some bad phenomena in the online live broadcast.
It is enough for him to have a clear conscience.
Zhang Junhua couldn't help but said: "How much money can you make from this? I heard that it's pretty impressive."
In fact, this person has always been a little unconvinced when facing Lu Chen.
So I took the opportunity to make a joke.
Lu Chen said calmly: "There must be some publicity outside. For someone like me, the fixed salary plus reward share will only be about a million a year."
He kept it to a minimum.
Snap!
The chopsticks in Lin Lang's hand fell to the table, and Zhang Junhua's expression suddenly froze.
A million? Just a million?
Real or fake?
Mu Xiaochu simply admired him: "Brother Lu Chen, you are really amazing!"
This sentence sounds very ambiguous!
Lu Chen coughed and said, "The food is about to be served. Get ready to use your chopsticks. Let's fill our stomachs first!"
The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.
It's just that someone suddenly seems to have lost his appetite.
Then Lu Chen has nothing to do with it——
