Siblings Lu Chen and Lu Xi did not stay at their grandparents' house for lunch, saying they were too busy at work. After leaving large and small packages of gifts, they left with Filia Chen.
There was really no way around it. There were so many people at home that Lu Chen was sweating all over to deal with it. In the end, even his grandfather couldn't stand it anymore. In order to avoid an embarrassing situation, it was best to leave early.
Anyway, he will be in Ningshan during this period, and he can come over anytime he wants to see his grandparents.
This is the helplessness of the human society. As the saying goes, the poor live in the busy city and no one cares about them, while the rich have distant relatives in the mountains. When the Lu family was prosperous, relatives from Ningshan often came to Binhai to live in the house. Once they fell into decline, they were left in the cold.
, it’s just that the world is in a hot and cold state.
Lu Chen is now ten times more prosperous than Lu Qingsheng when his career was at its peak, and many of his relatives who disappeared have naturally come back to him, just to gain some fame and fortune.
Neither Lu Chen nor Lu Xi had any good impressions of these relatives. They only treated them politely on the surface. Only kind elders like Fang Xinhou would really help.
"These people are really like flies..."
Back in the car, Lu Xi said angrily: "When something happened to our family back then, not many people even called us to ask, but now they all appear out of nowhere, and everyone talks like
It’s like we owe them!”
Some of these relatives wanted to ask Lu Chen to help them with their connections, some wanted Lu Chen to invest, some wanted to get a position in Chenfei Media, and some of them were even entrusted by others to introduce someone to join the crew as an actor.
It has to be a role with enough drama!
With all these demands, how could Lu Xi not feel angry? It was already very difficult for her to endure it until now.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "We didn't promise them anything, so don't be angry."
Lu Xi was distressed: "If you can't meet their demands, then they will definitely gossip behind your back. I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid it will affect your image."
Now is the Internet age. No matter who shouts loudly on the Internet, people all over the world may hear it. If some relatives here talk nonsense on the Internet, it is easy for Lu Chen to become passive.
This kind of thing is not unprecedented in the entertainment industry.
Lu Chen shook his head: "That doesn't really matter, anyway, we can't expect everyone to say good things."
Filia Chen agreed: "Sister Lu Xi, you don't have to worry. If something happens, our company's public relations department is not a vegetarian. Moreover, Lu Chen's popularity and image cannot be shaken casually."
When she became popular, she suffered from rumors on the Internet. Now she has a very calm attitude. She must have a clear conscience when doing things. She acts upright and stands upright without fear of slander.
Lu Xi waved his hands and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go eat. I'm almost full of anger now!"
Lu Chen and Filia Chen couldn't help but smile.
After having lunch in the hotel, Lu Chen met with the crew at Ningshan Film and Television City in the afternoon.
The main body of Ningshan Film and Television City covers an area of more than 2,000 acres. Although it is not as large as several famous domestic film and television shooting bases, it also has its own characteristics, that is, it is perfectly integrated with the Feng Shui treasure land of Qingning Mountain Scenic Area.
At the same time, the actual area available for shooting is much larger.
At present, the first phase of the film and television city has been completed including ancient city pools, Ming and Qing palaces, ancient streets of Ming and Qing Dynasties, Republic of China Avenue and ancient wilderness battlefields and other shooting spots, as well as a large modern studio. Although it is not comprehensive, it can shoot a variety of types.
There is still a lot of drama.
The main problems facing this recently completed film and television city are that it is too poorly known and its location is too remote. The situation would be much better if it were located in the eastern part of eastern Zhejiang.
And the investment budget is far from enough.
The total investment in several major domestic film and television cities has reached tens or even tens of billions. In comparison, Ningshan Film and Television City is really a junior, so it is naturally difficult to attract large-scale crews to film.
However, these shortcomings basically have little impact on "The Swordsman" and are even beneficial.
If it were Jinling Film and Television City, how could it be possible to concentrate all its efforts, including at the government level, to serve a film crew?
The current Ningshan Film and Television City is like letting the crew of "The Swordsman" "book out" the movie. They can shoot as much as they want without any restrictions. They can shoot as long as they want!
Therefore, Lu Chen's previous choice to film "The Swordsman" in Ningshan was not just to support half of his hometown, nor was it to take care of his relatives.
Inside the set, the crew was busy setting up the background. Several escort cars were parked on the street corner. Two lifelike stone lions guarded the mansion. On the plaque hanging under the eaves, the four characters "Fuwei Escort Bureau" stood out.
, a escort flag fluttered in the wind and made a sound in front of the door...
Coming here is like walking into a time tunnel, and people can't help but marvel at the magic of movies.
"Mr. Lu! Teacher Lu! Sister Fei'er..."
When they saw Lu Chen, Filia Chen and Lu Xi coming over, the actors in the crew and the on-site staff greeted each other warmly.
"Your boy is finally here..."
Director Chen Guozhi was also on the set, but he was not so kind to Lu Chen: "So many people are just waiting for you. Don't say it's your movie. You can shoot it however you want. I don't like to change the plan at will."
"
Here, I am afraid that only this great director dares to look down on Lu Chen.
"Director Chen, I'm so sorry..."
Lu Chen clasped his hands and apologized to Chen Guozhi: "It's because I didn't arrange my work well. Please don't worry. Before the filming of this movie is completed, I will go east if you ask me to go east. I will never go east if you ask me to go west!"
"
Chen Guozhi couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense to me. The opening ceremony has been postponed until tomorrow. I guess I won't be able to make it in time for the summer vacation this year. It doesn't matter if it's two days later or a few days earlier."
"
Originally, according to the plan, the filming of "The Swordsman" was supposed to start at the beginning of the year. Unfortunately, due to insufficient preparations in all aspects, as well as schedule conflicts between the director and actors, it has been delayed until now.
Chen Guozhi was not really angry, he was just trying to establish his authority.
Within the studio, the director should have supreme power, and he just wanted to see if Lu Chen would cooperate.
After all, Lu Chen's role in this movie is not just the male lead.
Assistant director and action director, screenwriter, soundtrack... and main investor!
What makes Chen Guozhi happy is that Lu Chen respects him very much and is very cooperative. With everyone working together, we can make this martial arts movie a success! ——
