Chapter 377 So That's How It Is

After school, the school gate was jammed.

Lu Yanhe walked out of the crowd, using sunglasses and a hat to hide himself, avoiding most of the eyes that might follow him after a quick glance.

Zou Dong was waiting for him at the school gate.

The sunset in September, on a sunny day without rain, was as gorgeous as a scene that can only be seen in a movie.

A rich and thick dusk color spread out, and many moments of looking up would make people mistake it for a watercolor painting.

Chen Siqi stood in such a dusk, looking at him with a faint smile.

Seeing her smile like this, Lu Yanhe couldn't help laughing himself.

Zou Dong looked at the two young people in front of him and stood aside silently.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi got in the car.

"When will you return to Jiangguang?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Chen Siqi said, "The flight is at noon tomorrow."

Lu Yanhe said, "That's perfect. I don't have classes in the third and fourth periods tomorrow morning, so I can take you there."

Chen Siqi: "I can just call a car myself. There's nothing to take."

Lu Yanhe: "I don't have anything to do anyway."

Chen Siqi: "Okay then."

Chen Siqi asked, "You don't have anything else to do this month, right? Can you rest well?"

"Well, almost. I just need to record the last day of "Young Days" and get together with everyone and have a meal." Lu Yanhe said, "I don't know when I can recover and not have to walk so slowly."

Chen Siqi smiled, "This is also good. You made yourself so tired before. Now you can rest well for a while and you can't run away from the announcement. How good."

Lu Yanhe said, "You arrange so many things every day. You are so busy, and you still blame me."

Chen Siqi: "No matter how busy I am, I am not as busy as you."

Lu Yanhe was about to say something when his cell phone rang.

It was a phone call.

What surprised Lu Yanhe even more was that the person who called was actually He Yunlan.

When recording "City Travel Notes", Lu Yanhe met this civil servant who worked in the tourism department of Jiangzhi, and was treated very warmly and considerately by them.

They exchanged contact information at that time and added each other as friends.

Later, the Jiangzhi episode was broadcast and received a good response.

Lu Yanhe and He Yunlan would send messages to each other on holidays. Although they didn't contact each other much, they never stopped.

"Brother He." Lu Yanhe answered the phone.

He Yunlan smiled and said, "Did I bother you?"

"No, it's convenient." Lu Yanhe replied.

"Yiyi and I came to Yuming. I saw on the news that you came back from Venice. I wonder if you are in Yuming? If you are, I want to invite you to dinner." He Yunlan said, "Tonight."

Lu Yanhe was a little surprised.

This sudden appointment... But, based on his understanding of He Yunlan, He Yunlan definitely didn't deliberately come to make an appointment at this meal time. It should be a sudden idea.

"I'm with Siqi, my girlfriend, and we're getting ready for dinner." Lu Yanhe said, "Brother He, you didn't tell me you were coming to Yuming earlier, so I made arrangements earlier. Wait a minute, I'll book a place and ask someone to pick you up. Where are you?"

"Don't be so polite. You book the place and send me the address. We can come by ourselves. No need to pick you up." He Yunlan said, "Besides, the roads must be congested at this time, so it's convenient for us to take the subway."

Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll send you the address."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yanhe said to Chen Siqi, "I'm sorry, I agreed to have dinner with someone without your consent."

Chen Siqi understood very well, knowing that Lu Yanhe agreed immediately because the other party was special.

"Who is Brother He?" Chen Siqi asked.

"He Yunlan, I met him when I was filming "City Travel Notes" in Jiangzhi. He worked in the Tourism Bureau of Jiangzhi. He was the one who arranged the filming at that time. I received a lot of care from him there. He came with his wife and asked me to have dinner with him." Lu Yanhe said, "This is the first time they came to see me. I have to do my best to be a good host."

Chen Siqi: "So it's them. I've seen your show and I know them."

Lu Yanhe: "Do you want to go? If you don't want to go, I'll come to you after I finish eating with them."

Chen Siqi: "Go, why wouldn't I want to go?"

She said again: "You've told them that you're with me now and are going to have dinner. If I don't go, it won't seem like I have a problem with them."

Lu Yanhe: "...Ah, yes, I forgot."

-

I haven't seen He Yunlan and Liu Yiyi for a long time. When I saw this young couple again, Lu Yanhe felt a little different.

I was a little envious before, but now...well, he's not bad either.

"Brother He, sister-in-law." Lu Yanhe greeted them with a smile on his face, "When did you arrive?"

He Yunlan smiled and said, "We just arrived this morning. We had some work to do. Since we are leaving on a flight at 11 o'clock tonight, we didn't expect to disturb you."

"How can this be called disturbing you, Brother He, I'm being polite. I have always wanted to invite you back to Yuming so that I can express my feelings." Lu Yanhe said, "You must tell me every time you come to Yuming in the future. If you come but don't tell me, I won't say hello to you when I go to Yuzhi in the future."

He Yunlan then showed a helpless smile and said, "I will definitely tell you later."

Lu Yanhe asked: "Brother He, do you have something to tell me? You didn't even plan to contact me in the first place."

He Yunlan nodded and said, "I also heard by chance that you are preparing a martial arts sitcom called "Wulin Gaiden" later?"

"Yes." This news has already spread all over the Internet.

Lu Yanhe didn't know why He Yunlan suddenly mentioned this matter to him.

He Yunlan said: "I heard about it from my friends in the tourism department. I heard that your drama is planning to set up a real-life setting and build a Tongfu Inn, right?"

Lu Yanhe nodded, "I have this idea now, what's the matter, Brother He?"

He suddenly thought of something and was stunned, "Brother He, are you -"

He Yunlan nodded, "I hope to build this inn in Jiangzhi."

Liu Yiyi smiled slightly and added: "The last "City Travels" program opened up a lot of popularity for Jiangzhi. There were a lot more tourists every holiday, and it also made Jiangzhi's tourism economy develop a lot. You go After passing Jiangzhi, I knew that the landscape there remained very original. The construction in the past two years was completely carried out under the premise of maintaining the original ecology. After Yun Lan heard that you were going to build a real inn, he was very excited. I was very excited and said that if we could build this inn in Jiangzhi, we might be able to make Jiangzhi known to more people with the help of the TV series.”

Lu Yanhe reacted.

It turns out that He Yunlan came here for this matter.

-

Cooperation between film and television dramas and local cultural tourism is not new. Many local cultural tourism companies even invite crews to shoot film and television dramas based on local customs and customs.

However, due to its remote location, inconvenient transportation, and insufficient funds, Jiangzhi Cultural Tourism was unable to do this.

Why did He Yunlan receive the "City Travels" crew so solemnly at that time? It was because many crews came to local places to shoot such things and collected money from local cultural tourism. But "City Travels" didn't confiscate a penny, and they were so serious After getting to know the city, I came here for the city.

This made He Yunlan see an opportunity.

Later facts also proved that this show really made Jiang Zhi popular.

Jiang Zhi's reputation is slowly opening up.

However, Jiangzhi is not the only place doing propaganda. Everything else is the same. Places with beautiful scenery, places with simple folk customs, places with original ecology... God knows how many places in China are advertising with such slogans. How many people would believe that Jiangzhi is not a "photo-scam" city or a "video-beautified" city?

He Yunlan has been working hard to use his own strength to promote the city of Jiangzhi to be known to more people, promote the tourism economy, and thus promote the development of the entire city.

It was effective, but it was still difficult.

At this time, he suddenly heard the news.

"Many places are being snatched up, and they want to build Tongfu Inn at their place." These were the exact words of his friend.

He Yunlan knew that if Jiangzhi wanted to compete with other places, the conditions they would offer would definitely not be as good as others.

However, he knew Lu Yanhe.

"If it was for my own business, I would be embarrassed to come to you, but this is for Jiang Zhi. I want to ask you for help to see if this inn can be built in Jiang Zhi." He Yunlan said, "If If the crew can really come to Jiangzhi to film, I will do my best to ensure the filming of this drama."

Lu Yanhe noticed that although He Yunlan looked calm, he should still feel uneasy and even a little embarrassed about his request.

This request is indeed not a good thing.

He Yunlan himself said that if it were cultural tourism in other places, it would actually be able to provide better support conditions.

Lu Yanhe did not answer immediately, but was silent for a while.

He was thinking about the feasibility of this.

Building Tongfu Inn in Jiangzhi is equivalent to filming this drama in Jiangzhi.

However, after the filming is completed, Tongfu Inn can stay in Jiangzhi. If the show becomes popular, it may bring a large number of viewers to Jiangzhi to check in as a souvenir.

However, "Wulin Gaiden" is more than just a Tongfu Inn.

What if a Qixia Town was built in Jiangzhi?

This thought flashed through Lu Yanhe's mind, and he pressed it immediately.

It is not difficult to build an inn, but building a small town is not something that can be accomplished with tens of millions.

Lu Yanhe came back to his senses and said to He Yunlan: "Brother He, I wrote "Wulin Gaiden", but the series of this drama is developed in Northern Lights, and it is not me who has the final say. Of course, starting from myself, I Of course I am very willing to let this drama be filmed in Jiangzhi. I also like this city very much. I can’t give you an accurate answer today. I have to communicate with the people at Northern Lights Video.”

He Yunlan showed gratitude, nodded and said, "Okay, I also know that this matter is quite difficult, but this is a very good opportunity for us Jiang Zhi."

Lu Yanhe said: "Actually, Brother He, the scenery in Jiangzhi is very beautiful. There are so many fairy tale dramas now. Jiangzhi can take the initiative to contact the major film and television crews and invite them to film in Jiangzhi, so that everyone can watch them through film and television dramas You will also be interested in Jiang Zhi when you see the beautiful scenery inside.”

He Yunlan sighed, shook his head, and said: "I have thought about this before, but it is not that simple. If nothing else, I heard from people in other places that many crews came to their place to film, and in the end the environment was completely destroyed. ”

Lu Yanhe: "Huh?"

“Nowadays, these production companies are also very sophisticated. They know that our local area wants to use the influence of film and television dramas to revitalize local cultural tourism, so they also make various demands on us. We do some related management for them, but they find it cumbersome. It affected the filming, and even threatened not to come to our place to film. I heard this from friends in other places,” He Yunlan said, “So, this also made me reluctant to agree. Some crew members also came to ask. I would hope that they would sign an agreement to comply with environmental protection-related management, but when they saw so many requirements, they stopped coming. Of course, they may also think that we want to extort money in disguise, because there are a lot of things written in it. How much money will be paid if something is damaged? They have many choices, there is no need to come to us.”

Lu Yanhe reacted and understood what was going on.

"I know that "Wulin Gaiden" is your play, so I came up with this idea." He Yunlan said, "After all, I know you, and you also understand what my original intention is."

Lu Yanhe nodded, "Of course, of course, I don't want to have a bad impact on the filming location just by filming a movie."

He Yunlan said: "After "City Travels", several other program groups have actually come to Jiangzhi, but I have never encountered anyone who respects this place as much as you do."

Lu Yanhe smiled.

"At that time, we were all newcomers and it was a new show. We were already very flattered by your reception and care."

He Yunlan was a little helpless, "It's a pity that not everyone is grateful."

He Yunlan's expression of waning interest seemed to be that he had experienced something unhappy.

Chen Siqi had been listening without interrupting, and now he said, "Brother He, are you considering building a film and television shooting base in Jiangzhi? Yan He told me that you have a lot of natural scenery there, and it is very well maintained. If a film and television city can be built in a place suitable for development, it can also be developed as a tourist attraction, just like Langhua now, where many people go to their film and television bases. "

"Building a film and television base requires too much money. We have talked about it, but we can't talk about it." He Yunlan said, "It is difficult to achieve a balance if we want to develop it while protecting the natural environment of Jiangzhi, but I don't want to do it for ten years. Twenty years of economic development have ruined Jiangzhi’s most precious things.”

Lu Yanhe nodded, "Indeed, the natural scenery in many places has been over-exploited, but Jiangzhi still retains a lot of its original state, and there is even a virgin forest, although I have not been in it. What impressed me most about that place is the mountains and plains Green spaces, shrubs, flowers, blue sky and white clouds stretch as far as the eye can see, a true sea of ​​green.”

He Yunlan said: "Tongfu Inn can be built in our main urban area without affecting other places or damaging the environment. There is still a lot of wasteland in our main urban area that can be developed."

Lu Yanhe heard this and said, "No wonder, you can even make a B&B like Tongfu Inn."

He Yunlan nodded: "In short, if we can build Tongfu Inn in Jiangzhi and you come to film this movie here, I will definitely do my best to protect your entire filming."

Lu Yanhe was determined to help He Yunlan do this.

He had no choice, he didn't know what other places were competing for this Tongfu Inn, but he had been to Jiangzhi, measured the land there with his feet, and truly loved the customs and customs there. He hopes to make it better through his own efforts.

-

After dinner, Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi sent them back to the hotel first, and then transferred to the hotel where Chen Siqi stayed.

Chen Siqi asked: "Will you help them?"

"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded.

Chen Siqi said: "If Northern Lights Video has already made a decision and Jiang Zhi is not selected - well, you also know that in this kind of matter, even Northern Lights has to consider many factors, what should you do?"

"Brother He came to see me today. In fact, he reminded me of one thing. If they are not willing to use Jiangzhi as the filming location of "Wulin Gaiden", then I have other scenes later, and I can put other scenes in When signing a contract with Northern Lights or other platforms, this requirement should be included in the contract. I will only cooperate if I agree to this requirement. "

Chen Siqi glanced at Lu Yanhe in surprise and asked, "Isn't this too much of a sacrifice?"

Lu Yanhe blinked confidently and said, "Because adding this clause means that the scene cannot be filmed, it is called a sacrifice. Why is it a sacrifice when others will agree to the clause?"

Chen Siqi thought for a while and thought, based on Lu Yanhe's current situation, which platform would reject him because of the shooting location.

Sometimes, people are like this. The richer they are, the more money they can make, the more successful they are, and the easier it is to achieve greater success, because everyone will help you, everyone will be your helper, and you can do anything. It's a tailwind situation.

-

The next day, Lu Yanhe went to school from the hotel.

After class, he returned to the hotel, picked up Chen Siqi and took her to the airport.

At noon, he met Jiang Zixin, the producer of "Wulin Gaiden" at Suxin Hotel and had lunch together.

Chen Ziyan is also here.

Lu Yanhe specially invited Chen Ziyan to come.

Only Chen Ziyan can handle this matter.

Jiang Zixin originally thought it was just to communicate about the shooting, but unexpectedly, Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan came here to discuss the shooting location.

This was something she had not expected.

She said, "I really can't make the decision on this matter. Zi Yan, Yan He, I have to report it to the leaders to see what they think."

Chen Zi Yan nodded.

Jiang Zi Xin said, "Actually, I have something to tell you."

"Hmm?" Lu Yan He asked, "What is it?"

Jiang Zi Xin said, "Zhang Lan from your company contacted us and wanted to play the role of Tong Xiangyu."

Zhang Lan is one of the three "first sisters" who are on par with Jiang Yuqian in Xingyu.

Moreover, she is a very incompatible "first sister".

Even Lu Yan He knew that Zhang Lan tried to snatch several dramas from Jiang Yuqian, some of which were successful and some were not. But this was enough to make Zhang Lan and Jiang Yuqian have a big grudge. Before, Zhang Lan had taken the initiative to find Lu Yan He, wanting to cooperate with him and arrange a script. Lu Yan He promised well, but because of Jiang Yuqian, he didn't take it to heart.

Lu Yan He didn't expect that Zhang Lan suddenly fell in love with the role of Tong Xiangyu.

In fact, an actress of Zhang Lan's level really doesn't need to play in this kind of group drama - Zhang Lan usually stars in dramas that are definitely not lower than the level of "Wulin Wai Zhuan", and she is a well-deserved heroine.

Even after "The Golden Age", Jiang Yuqian's two dramas were broadcast and received mediocre responses, and her career has been affected a bit. However, Zhang Lan still stands firm in her position with her stable output, and is faintly overtaking Jiang Yuqian.

Lu Yanhe has indeed grown up. He did not say no at the first time, but asked: "What do you think?"

Jiang Zixin shook his head and said: "Our initial judgment is that Zhang Lan is not suitable for the role of Tong Xiangyu, but she is also from Star Entertainment, so we also want to ask your opinions."

Chen Ziyan smiled and said: "This role has been agreed upon long ago. It is up to you to decide. We will not interfere."

Jiang Zixin smiled and said: "Yanhe is the screenwriter. Ask his opinion and see if Yanhe thinks it is suitable."

Lu Yanhe was about to speak, but Chen Ziyan interrupted again and said: "Oh, Yanhe is the screenwriter, but when did the screenwriter have the final say in our drama? Yanhe has already proposed his own suggestions for three roles. The rest will be left to you to decide. Otherwise, it will be spread that the whole play was decided by our Yanhe. Thank God, Yanhe is not so capable."

She refused to let go, and Lu Yanhe certainly noticed the trick. He guessed that Chen Ziyan must have her intentions when she said this, so he stopped talking.

As soon as lunch was over, Chen Ziyan rolled her eyes as soon as she got in the car, which was enough for Zou Dong to see in the rearview mirror.

"I don't want to offend anyone, so I want to use you to reject her." Chen Ziyan was angry, "What a joke."

Lu Yanhe said, "It's indeed not suitable."

"Do you think they rejected Zhang Lan because they thought it was not suitable?" Chen Ziyan said, "It's purely because she is also from Star Entertainment. "Wulin Wai Zhuan" itself has a person like you who has a core position and influence on this project. If you two join forces, Northern Lights will be passive in everything, and extremely passive. They will never let this situation happen. Such a big project cannot be constrained and led by you. This lineup is impossible from the beginning."

Lu Yanhe reacted.

"So that's it." (End of this chapter)
