Time flies so fast, it’s already mid-October in the blink of an eye.
Lu Chen basically spent the entire September and early October busy filming TV series. He spent more time in Huairou Film and Television City than at home.
Because he was too busy, he even declined an invitation to perform at Beijing Satellite TV's National Day Gala.
The main reason is that "My Love from the Star" is so popular. Since its launch, the ratings have remained high. It has broken through the category of phenomenon-level TV series and has broken records both domestically and in South Korea.
The filming and broadcasting, and the schedule of two episodes a week put a lot of pressure on the crew. In order to ensure quality, it was common to work overtime. As the male and female protagonists, Lu Chen and Filia Chen did not have much time to spare.
However, in mid-October, Lu Chen still found a way to squeeze out a few days.
He is going to the United States.
Lu Chen flew to the United States this time for two main reasons.
First of all, the listing of Crowdfunding Network on the NASDAQ in the United States has already begun. It can even be said that success is imminent. He, the founder and owner of 10% of the shares, needs to go to the other side of the ocean.
Li Muchi, who had already planned to launch a crowdfunding website in the United States, made more than a dozen calls to Lu Chen and finally threatened him that if he didn't come over, she would personally fly back to the capital to make him look good.
Let's not talk about Lu Chen's personal friendship with Li Muchi and Li Mubai. From the time he debuted to the present, his development has been smooth without experiencing too many setbacks. He is more or less protected by the big tree of the Li family.
Otherwise, it would be weird for someone like Lu Chen, who has no background and power, to do so many profitable businesses and no one covets him!
Therefore, Lu Chen should also help Li Muchi solve the problem. After all, the 10% of the shares he holds is worth hundreds of millions when the crowdfunding website is listed, and it is still US dollars!
Secondly, Lu Chen also plans to visit the United States to find a first-class special effects company that can cooperate for a long time to enhance Chenfei Media's strength in this area.
Special effects production is an industry that requires long-term investment, and it is also an industry that costs money like water. You cannot do it quickly and quickly. The most important talents will not fall from the sky and need to be cultivated and accumulated carefully.
Once cooperation with the United States is reached, Chenfei Media will arrange for batches of personnel to go to the United States to study and further improve the level of special effects production.
At present, the special effects team under Chenfei Media can barely cope with the production of special effects for TV series such as "My Love from the Star", but it is far behind when it comes to big movies.
The filming of the big movie "The Swordsman" has already been put on the schedule, so the cooperative training plan cannot be delayed any longer, otherwise it will not be possible to improvise.
…
Beijing International Airport, Terminal T1.
At the security checkpoint, the couple who was about to say goodbye was still reluctant to leave.
Filia Chen helped Lu Chen straighten his collar for the last time and said, "Call me first when you get to the United States."
"knew…"
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and said: "I promise that when I get there, the first thing I will do after getting off the plane is to call you to tell you that I am safe!"
Filia Chen has said the same thing several times, as if she would go to the United States and never come back. In fact, Lu Chen will only stay in the United States for five or six days at most this time.
"Then go through the security check quickly!"
Finally satisfied, Filia Chen stood up on tiptoes and kissed him on the lips, saying, "I'll wait for you to come back."
Lu Chen nodded, picked up his luggage, and followed his assistant to the security check.
When he passed the security checkpoint, he turned back and waved to Filia Chen.
The latter blew a kiss.
After passing the customs security check, Lu Chen and his assistant waited in the VIP waiting room for more than half an hour, and successfully boarded the direct flight from Beijing to New York, USA.
He took a flight with Jane Air, the second largest airline in the United States, and the latest Boeing 798 aircraft that Jane Air had just put into operation.
The Boeing 798 passenger aircraft is a new generation of intercontinental passenger aircraft launched by Boeing. It can carry more than 400 passengers at the same time. Its flying speed is close to the speed of sound. It only takes just over 10 hours to fly from Beijing to New York.
The company booked business seats for Lu Chen and his assistant because Zhenmei Airlines' flights using Boeing 798 aircraft are very popular, and the first class seats were already sold out if they were booked late.
However, the business class facilities of the 798 are no less than those of first class on ordinary flights. Even a person of Lu Chen's height can sit comfortably. The cabin also provides satellite Internet access, so the journey is not lonely.
This time when he went to the United States, Lu Chen brought an assistant with him.
Unlike many celebrities who like to hug each other, Lu Chen always travels in a low-key manner. He usually has only one assistant, or at most two or three, around him.
This time he went to the United States, and it was mainly for business matters, so he did not take Zhang Xiaofang, who had been following him, but asked the company to arrange an additional assistant for him.
The assistant's name is Wang Yan, who is 32 years old this year. She has studied in the United States for many years and has dual master's degrees in finance and law. She just returned to China the year before last to develop.
Wang Yan has nothing to do with the entertainment industry, nor is she an employee of Chenfei Media. She was temporarily hired by Lu Xi through connections to help Lu Chen handle business affairs in the United States. She is regarded as a business assistant.
Wang Yan's appearance is very beautiful. Although she is already over thirty, she looks like she is in her mid-twenties because she takes good care of herself. Her figure is also first-class.
But she is not the kind of pretty vase, she is very smart and strong. She currently works for a commercial agency. Because this company has commercial cooperation with Chenfei Media, she has dealt with Lu Xi.
Lu Xi was deeply impressed by Wang Yan, so he specifically asked her for help this time.
After all, Lu Chen was going abroad to negotiate this time. Lu Xi had no experience in this field and could not do anything. She was also worried that Lu Chen would be deceived and could not guarantee her own interests, so she approached Wang Yan.
Therefore, in terms of treatment, Wang Yan is different from ordinary assistants. She and Lu Chen fly business class together.
Most of the people in the business class class were blond and blue-eyed foreigners.
The first time Wang Yan met Lu Chen was two days ago. She had no interest in pop music, movies or television. Although she knew who Lu Chen was, she had no idea about him.
But Lu Chen was a big star after all. Out of curiosity and work needs, after sitting down in his seat, Wang Yan still found some topics to try to chat with him.
After all, the two of them have to spend several days in the United States to establish a good relationship and get along happily.
After a chat, Liu Yan discovered that Lu Chen didn't have the airs of a big star at all, and was just like an ordinary boy next door, so the two parties quickly became familiar with each other.
