Chapter 190: Jinling Qinhuai
Jiangnan beautiful land, Jinling Imperial State!
Jinling is the capital of Jiangsu Province, located in the eastern region of China, in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, near the river and the sea, with a population of more than 10 million.
With a history of more than 6,000 years of civilization, nearly 2,600 years of city building and nearly 500 years of capital building, the city is one of the four ancient capitals of China, known as the "ancient capital of six dynasties" and "the capital of ten dynasties".
It is also an important birthplace of Chinese civilization, which has blessed the Zhengshuo of China several times in history, and has long been the political, economic and cultural center of southern China, with a rich 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 big city in only 3 hours.
Lu Chen came to Jinling for the first time, and he came to shoot his first advertising film.
Half a month ago, the Yinma advertising company in Beijing and Lu Chen's studio reached a cooperation agreement, inviting Lu Chen to be the brand spokesperson of Senqi sportswear, with a contract period of 1 year and a contract amount of 1 million.
Both parties are very satisfied with this contract.
Originally, the endorsement fee proposed by Yinma Advertising Company was 800,000 yuan, but after Lu Xi's struggle, the contract amount was finally increased by 200,000 yuan, and the contract content mainly included promotional posters, advertising films, etc.
Senqi is a new clothing brand in the market, focusing on the sports consumer market of young people, and the reason why this brand that is on the rise chose Lu Chen is mainly because Lu Chen is young enough and his image is very healthy.
Especially recently, under the hype of Beijing Satellite TV, his singing "I Love You China" was exposed in advance, and gained a high reputation both inside and outside the circle, and finally prompted the two parties to successfully sign a contract.
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. First of all, because Senqi is a local brand in Jinling, some of the posters that Lu Chen needs to shoot will be filmed at the headquarters of Senqi's headquarters.
Secondly, Jinling Film and Television City in Jinling is one of the three major film and television cities in China, with large scale and advanced facilities, with Xiangjiang Road, Republic of China Street, Ming and Qing Dynasty Palace, Qinwang Palace, Qingming Shanghe Tu, Buddhist Temples and Taoist Temples and other large-scale real-life buildings.
In addition, Jinling has many historic sites, countless gardens, and modern metropolitan clusters, so many film companies and TV drama production units in Beijing use Jinling as a fixed-point shooting base. There are countless celebrities who come and go to Jinling every year.
Moreover, there are many local film and television companies in Jinling, and the Yinma advertising company in Beijing has a branch in Jinling, which is very convenient to shoot advertising films and can save a lot of costs.
For example, the Senqi commercial film that Lu Chen is going to shoot involves urban scenes, and if it is filmed in the capital, the issue of approval alone can be a headache, and the capital is quite strict in this regard.
In Jinling, it's not a problem at all, not to mention the film and television city, even if it's a live shooting in the city. The government has green channels to encourage and support the approval of the film and television industry.
Therefore, if everything goes well, Lu Chen will be able to shoot commercials and posters in Jinling in a day or two.
1 million he can earn easily.
When the high-speed train arrived at the station, Lu Chen and Li Feiyu got off the train.
At the exit gate, the 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 negotiated with Yinma Advertising Company, and Lu Chen will arrange escorts and accommodation by the other party's branch when he arrives.
This young man in a blue T-shirt is undoubtedly the person sent by the Silver Horse advertising agency to greet him.
Lu Chen passed through the ticket turnstile and walked directly in front of the other party. smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Lu Chen." ”
The other party was stunned at first. Immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly put down the signboard and shook hands with Lu Chen.
"Hello, hello, Mr. Lu Chen"
Lu Chen wore a pair of sunglasses when he came out this time, so the T-shirt man didn't recognize him immediately.
Although there is not a lot of hype and publicity, Lu Chen is now a little famous, and he is often recognized by fans when he goes out on the road. Wear sunshades just to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I've kept you waiting, let's go." ”
Probably didn't expect Lu Chen to be so polite, the T-shirt man was so excited that his face turned red, and he was a little incoherent: "No, wait soon." The car arranged by the company is outside, and I am Lu Ze of Yinma, and I am 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 freshman who has just come out of society, with not very rich work experience and not good at interpersonal communication.
In other words, the Silver Horse Advertising Company sent him to greet and accompany Lu Chen, which was somewhat suspected of negligence.
However, Lu Chen didn't care, or more precisely, he didn't have the pretension of being a star.
He wouldn't do such a thing as playing a big name.
The car that picked up Lu Chen was just an ordinary Buick business car, and the driver was a taciturn middle-aged man, and 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 a five-star arrangement.
Now is the National Day golden holiday, even if you book in advance, as a tourist hotspot in Jinling, the surrounding area of the film and television city must be hard to find, and being able to arrange Lu Chen to stay in a five-star hotel nearby undoubtedly shows the energy of Yinma.
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 the treatment conditions with the host party in advance, such as the means of transportation, the standard of the hotel they stay in, etc., the more big-name artists have more detailed requirements.
There are often celebrity artists who lose their temper because the reception standards of their partners do not meet their own requirements, or even go on strike, and as a result, they are published in the entertainment gossip news.
Many artists regard face as more important than life, and even if there are not enough coffee seats, they must find ways to improve their treatment.
Lu Ze felt very sorry for this: "Mr. Lu Chen, the hotel rooms are too tight now, the business suites of the five-star hotel here were booked out two months ago, if you think it is not suitable, then"
"It doesn't matter"
Lu Chen smiled faintly and interrupted his explanation: "The standard room is very good, thank you." ”
Lu Ze couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It should be, it should be!" ”
What he is most afraid of is that Lu Chen will lose his temper, and at that time, in order to calm the latter's anger, the company will definitely throw the responsibility on his head and let him carry this black pot.
A few days ago, Lu Ze received an artist who also came to shoot a promotional video, just because the vehicle he picked up was a Buick business car instead of a Mercedes-Benz, he turned his face on the spot and wanted to leave, which made him so anxious.
Although the company later urgently transferred a Mercedes-Benz over, it criticized Lu Ze's internal report on the grounds of inconsiderate reception, so that he had to come to work as usual during the National Day holiday - to atone for his crimes.
At that time, Lu Ze didn't mention how wronged he was, and he really wanted to get rid of it.
But now it's too hard to find a good job, and Yinma's treatment is first-class in the industry, so he can only endure it.
Fortunately, this time Lu Ze was not an unreasonable person.
Originally, to pick up Lu Chen, the company arranged a Mercedes-Benz business car, but because another star temporarily changed the itinerary, Mercedes-Benz was called over, and he could only continue to use Buick.
On the way over just now, Lu Ze was worried in his heart.
Lu Chen's tolerance and understanding really touched him.
The assistant of the Silver Horse Company asked diligently: "Mr. Lu Chen, if you are not tired, wait a minute, I will accompany the two of you to the Confucius Temple to taste the local specialties, and then play by the Qinhuai River, what do you think?" ”
Lu Chen nodded and said, "It's up to you, you can arrange it." ”
He has been famous for a long time in the Qinhuai River, and since he has come, he naturally has to take a good look at the legendary Qinhuai style.
After settling down, Lu Chen and the others followed Lu Ze to the Confucius Temple.
After a sumptuous dinner in the century-old famous restaurant Zhuangyuan Building, the three of them cruised the Qinhuai River at night.
During this time, Lu Chen has been working hard for his career, and 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 in the area of Confucius Temple, the street market is bustling with people, the restaurants and tea houses on both sides of the river are lined up, there are countless shops selling handicrafts and traditional snacks, and the neon signs of the storefront are flashing purple and red, reflecting each other with the beautiful scenery on the river.
Wuyi Lane, Vermilion Bird Bridge, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan, the former monuments have long become such a prosperous place for tourism, only to see countless tourists walking through the streets and alleys of the Confucius Temple, or taking a cruise ship on the water.
On the banks of the river where the willows hang low, many old people sit around a table, drinking tea and playing chess.
Qinhuai at night, the moon is warm and the stars are bright, the sound of the river is full of lights and shadows, and the beautiful sound of silk strings and flutes comes from time to time on the cruise ship with carved beams and paintings, which makes people seem to shuttle into ancient time and space.
Lu Chen strolled between the corridors on the riverbank, sniffing the fragrance of the vines and flowers wrapped around the wooden frame, listening to the sound of the gurgling water of the Qinhuai River, and couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy.
Boarding the Wende Bridge and gazing at the railing, I saw large and small lightboats shuttling back and forth, and pedestrians on the boat held cameras and mobile phones to take pictures everywhere, and flashes of light appeared.
Some people also pointed the camera at Lu Chen, who was standing on the bridge, and recorded his image with a smile.
This situation and this scene reminded Lu Chen of the poem of a famous poet - you stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people who watch the scenery look at you from upstairs. The bright moon decorates your windows, and you decorate other people's dreams.
Although he didn't drink freely, he also felt drunk.
The first one is sent, and there will be one in the evening!
