The beautiful land of Jiangnan, the imperial state of Jinling!
Jinling is the capital of Jiangsu Province. It is located in eastern China, on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, near the river and the sea, with a population of over 10 million.
This city has more than 6,000 years of civilization history, nearly 2,600 years of city building history, and nearly 500 years of capital building history. It is one of the four ancient capitals in China, known as the "ancient capital of six dynasties" and the "city of ten dynasties".
It is also an important birthplace of Chinese civilization. It has protected the Zhengshuo of China several times in history. It has long been the political, economic, and cultural center of southern China. It has a profound cultural heritage and rich historical relics!
Taking the G107 high-speed train from Beijing, Lu Chen and Li Feiyu arrived in this ancient and very modern city in just 3 hours.
Lu Chen came to Jinling for the first time to shoot his first commercial.
Half a month ago, Yinma Advertising Company in Beijing reached a cooperation agreement with Lu Chen Studio, inviting Lu Chen to be the brand spokesperson of Senqi Sportswear. The contract period is one year and the contract amount is 1 million.
Both parties are very satisfied with this contract.
The original endorsement fee proposed by Yinma Advertising Company was 800,000, but after Lu Xi fought for it, the contract amount was finally increased to 200,000. The contract mainly included promotional posters, commercials, etc.
Senqi is a new clothing brand on the market, focusing on the young people's sports consumption market. The reason why this rising brand chose Lu Chen is mainly because Lu Chen is young enough and has a very healthy image.
Especially recently, under the hype of Beijing Satellite TV, his performance of "I Love You China" was exposed in advance and gained a high reputation both inside and outside the circle, which ultimately led to the successful signing of the contract between the two parties.
Lu Chen also attached great importance to his first endorsement advertisement and rushed to Jinling just after the National Day.
The reason why this Senqi commercial was filmed in Jinling instead of Beijing is first of all because Senqi is a local brand in Jinling, and some of the posters Lu Chen needs to shoot will be shot at the Senqi headquarters.
Secondly, the Jinling Film and Television City in Jinling is one of the three major film and television cities in China. It has a large scale and advanced facilities. It has large-scale real-life buildings such as Xiangjiang Road, Republic of China Street, Ming and Qing Palace Gardens, Qin Palace, Along the River During the Qingming Festival, Buddhist temples and Taoist temples.
In addition, Jinling has numerous historical sites, numerous gardens, and modern metropolitan clusters. Therefore, many film companies and TV drama production units in the capital use Jinling as a fixed shooting base. Countless celebrities visit Jinling every year.
Moreover, there are many local film and television companies in Jinling. Yinma Advertising Company in Beijing has opened a branch in Jinling. It is very convenient to shoot commercials and other films, and it can save a lot of costs.
For example, the Senqi commercial that Lu Chen is about to shoot involves urban scenes. If it were shot in the capital, the approval issue alone would be a huge headache. The capital has very strict control in this regard.
This is not a problem at all in Jinling. Needless to say, in the film and television city, even if it is on-site shooting in the city, the government has a green channel for approval to encourage and support the film and television industry.
Therefore, if everything goes well, Lu Chen can finish shooting commercials and posters in Jinling in a day or two.
He can earn 1 million easily.
When the high-speed train arrived at the station, Lu Chen and Li Feiyu got off the train.
At the exit gate, sharp-eyed Li Feiyu was the first to spot a young man holding a pick-up sign.
The two big characters "Lu Chen" are very conspicuous.
Before leaving for Jinling, Lu Chen's studio had negotiated with Yinma Advertising Company. When Lu Chen arrived, the other party's branch would arrange for accompanying personnel, food and accommodation.
This young man wearing a blue T-shirt was undoubtedly the person sent by Silver Horse Advertising Company to greet him.
Lu Chen passed the ticket gate and walked directly to the other party. He smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Lu Chen."
The other party was stunned for a moment, then woke up and hurriedly put down his sign and shook hands with Lu Chen.
"Hello, hello, Mr. Lu Chen"
Lu Chen was wearing sunglasses when he came out this time, so the man in the T-shirt didn't recognize him immediately.
Although there is not a lot of hype and publicity, Lu Chen is now somewhat famous. He is often recognized by fans when he goes out and walks on the road. He wears visors just to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I kept you waiting for a long time, let's go."
Probably he didn't expect Lu Chen to be so polite. The man in the T-shirt turned red with excitement and was a little incoherent: "No, wait a minute, the car arranged by the company is outside. I am Lu Ze from Silver Horse, just call me Xiao Lu.
"
Lu Chen nodded and introduced Li Feiyu to him: "This is Li Feiyu, Brother Li, my assistant."
"Hello hello!"
Lu Ze should be a fresh person who has just stepped out of the society. He does not have very rich work experience and is not good at interpersonal communication.
In other words, the Yinma Advertising Company sent him to greet and accompany Lu Chen, so there was some suspicion of neglect.
But Lu Chen didn't care, or to be more precise, he didn't have the airs to be a star.
He would not do such a thing as being a big name.
The car that picked up Lu Chen was just an ordinary Buick business car. The driver was a taciturn middle-aged man. After everyone got in the car, he drove all the way to a hotel near Jinling Film and Television City in Jiangning District.
In terms of hotel accommodation, Yinma Advertising Company complied with the provisions of the contract and arranged five-star accommodation.
Now is the golden National Day holiday. Even if you book in advance, it is bound to be hard to find a room around the film and television city, which is a tourist hotspot in Jinling. Being able to arrange for Lu Chen to stay in a five-star hotel nearby undoubtedly shows the energy of Silver Horse.
The only problem is that the room booked is a standard room, not a business suite.
When celebrities go out to work, they usually negotiate with the host in advance about the remuneration conditions, such as the means of transportation, hotel standards, etc. The bigger the artist, the more detailed the requirements.
Star artists often get upset or even go on strike because their partners' reception standards do not meet their own requirements. As a result, they are published in entertainment gossip news.
Many artists regard face as more important than life, and even if they don't have enough positions, they still try to find ways to improve their salary.
Lu Ze felt very sorry for this: "Mr. Lu Chen, hotel rooms are in short supply now. All the business suites in the five-star hotel here were booked two months ago. If you feel it is not suitable, then"
"It doesn't matter"
Lu Chen smiled faintly and interrupted his explanation: "The standard room is fine, thank you."
Lu Ze couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "It should, it should!"
What he fears most is that Lu Chen loses his temper. In order to appease the latter's anger, the company will definitely put the blame on his head and make him take the blame.
A few days ago, Lu Ze received an artist who was also here to shoot a promotional video. Just because the pick-up vehicle was a Buick business car instead of a Mercedes-Benz, he actually turned against him and wanted to leave on the spot, which made him anxious.
Although the company later urgently dispatched a Mercedes-Benz, Lu Ze was criticized in an internal report for not being well received, and he was asked to come to work as usual during the National Day holiday to atone for his sins.
At that time, Lu Ze really wanted to quit, not to mention how wronged he was.
But good jobs are so hard to find now, and Yinma's treatment is considered top-notch in the industry, so he can only endure it.
Fortunately, this time Lu Ze didn't encounter an unreasonable person.
Originally, the company had arranged for a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle to pick up Lu Chen, but because another celebrity had temporarily changed the itinerary, the Mercedes-Benz was transferred and had to continue to be driven by a Buick.
On the way here just now, Lu Ze felt anxious and uneasy.
Lu Chen's tolerance and understanding really touched him.
The assistant of Yinma Company asked diligently: "Mr. Lu Chen, if you are not tired, I will accompany you two to the Confucius Temple to taste local specialties, and then have fun by the Qinhuai River.
What do you think?"
Lu Chen nodded and said, "It's up to you to make the arrangements."
The Qinhuai River has been famous for a long time. Now that he is here, he naturally wants to appreciate the legendary Qinhuai style.
After settling down, Lu Chen and the others followed Lu Ze to the Confucius Temple.
After a sumptuous dinner at Zhuangyuanlou, a century-old famous store, the three of them went on a night tour of the Qinhuai River.
During this period of time, Lu Chen has been working hard for his career. Today is a rare opportunity to relax.
So he put his work and responsibilities aside for the time being.
The scenery of the Qinhuai River is the most prosperous and lively around the Confucius Temple. The streets are bustling with people, there are restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the river, and there are countless shops selling various handicrafts and traditional snacks. The neon signs on the storefronts are flashing in purple and red, which complement the scenic scenery on the river.
Crow Yi Lane, Zhuque Bridge, Wang Xietang Qianyan, the former monuments have long been transformed into such a prosperous tourist place. Countless tourists can be seen walking through the streets and alleys of Confucius Temple, or taking cruise ships on the water.
.
By the riverside where the willows hang low, many old people sit around a table, enjoying themselves while drinking tea and playing chess.
In Qinhuai at night, the moon is warm and the stars are bright, the river is full of lights and shadows, and the beautiful sounds of silk string flutes and flutes are heard from time to time on the beautifully decorated cruise ships, making people feel like they have traveled back in time to ancient time and space.
Lu Chen walked among the corridors along the river bank, sniffing the fragrance of the vines and flowers wrapped around the wooden frame, listening to the sound of the Qinhuai River's gurgling water, and couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy.
When I climbed up to the Wende Bridge and leaned on the railing to gaze, I could see light boats of all sizes shuttling back and forth. Pedestrians on the boats took photos everywhere with cameras and mobile phones, and flashes of light flashed frequently.
Some people also focused their cameras on Lu Chen standing on the bridge, laughing and recording his image.
This situation reminded Lu Chen of a famous poet's poem: "You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs. The bright moon decorates your windows, and you decorate other people's dreams."
Even though he didn't drink freely, he still felt drunk——
The first update is here, there will be more in the evening!
