This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 55 Sichuan Tourism Ambassador (Seeking votes at the beginning of the month!)

In mid-August, the crew of "Seven Swords Legend," which had been preparing for half a year, headed to Sichuan to officially begin filming this ambitious work in the metaverse.

Recently, many people have wanted to invest in his drama. If Chen Yuan agrees, it could become a real 1 million RMB big production in no time.

But Chen Yuan doesn't lack production funds now, and he's almost already making a profit, so he never expected this show to earn him much money in the first place.

If you want to make big money from making TV dramas, you'll have to wait at least 10 years.

Even if a "Game of Thrones" series were produced now, it wouldn't fetch a good price given that domestic television stations control all broadcasting platforms.

The main purpose of "Seven Swords Legend" is to gain fame and train the team.

Chen Yuan accepted a 10 million yuan investment from Century Hero Company, which is affiliated with China Film Group, and another 10 million yuan investment from China International Television Corporation, which is affiliated with CCTV.

Century Heroes is a film investment company jointly established by China Film Group Corporation and CITIC Group to address the challenges faced by the film industry after China's accession to the WTO and to deepen the reform of the film system.

Accepting investment from China Film Group and continuing to strengthen ties with this behemoth will be of great benefit to the future development of the Metaverse.

Although Metaverse has become associated with Columbia Pictures, the relationship is not deep enough, and the company does not have any film projects to continue collaborating with them in the short term.

In this situation, it is essential to utilize the channels of international television companies to distribute TV dramas overseas.

In the VIP private waiting room at the airport, Fan Binbin felt incredibly sorry for Chen Yuan, whose eyes were slightly dark.
These past few days, with the filming of "Legend of Seven Swords" about to begin, he's been working day and night, barely having time to breathe.

Chen Yuan rubbed his slightly swollen eyes; it had been another all-nighter of teaching and imparting knowledge.

Huang Shengyi was physically very fit, and being in the throes of new love, she wanted to prove to herself that she could do anything. Furthermore, Chen Yuan recklessly used the [Oxytocin Sacred Body] MAX twice during their high-frequency interactions.
Alas, people say that thirty is like a wolf and forty is like a tiger, but Chen Yuan has truly felt the terror of an 18-year-old girl.

Despite all the hardships she endured, she still found them sweet.

Honestly, if his physical abilities hadn't been systematically enhanced, he really wouldn't have been able to withstand the constant pestering of that seemingly mentally unstable little devil.

Damn it, I can't be so reckless and unrestrained anymore. I need to wait until my physique is significantly improved, like that amazing "Steel Kidney." I can't keep doing that; it's not good for him or my girlfriend.

"It's okay, you'll feel better after a nap."

Chen Yuan yawned, looking into Binbin's gentle eyes, and still felt a little guilty.

"Chen Yuan, I heard from the art department teachers that you prepared forty or fifty sets of makeup and costumes for Lan Yue, is that true?"

"Hmm, more or less. The Legend of Seven Swords has four distinct seasons, so you need costumes to match the scene and season. You also need to distinguish between court attire and swordsman attire."

"Those forty or fifty sets are too outrageous! Even if we don't lack investment, we can't just waste it like that!"

Fan Binbin assumed that Chen Yuan was just being extravagant to make her happy. Although she enjoyed it, she didn't think he really needed to do that.

Chen Yuan pulled Binbin into his arms. "Do you really think I'm some kind of foolish boss who would do anything to make a beauty smile?"

Chen Yuan gently kissed Binbin's earlobe as he took the opportunity to hug him, and explained, "I prepared so many looks for you to promote Changhong TV."

Fan Binbin instantly recalled the advertisement she filmed in 99, the one that changed her life, when she first met Chen Yuanchu.

The fox's beautiful eyes reflected a sense of reminiscence and emotion, but also a hint of worry.

"You want to do it again? Will this... will it even work?"

"Of course we have to make some changes. What I'm thinking of is to put a beautiful music video of you in different costumes in the end credits of each episode of 'Legend of the Seven Swords'."

Then give the full version to Changhong and have them play it repeatedly in TV retail stores. This should be a good way to attract customers and advertise.

Fan Binbin imagined that after "Legend of Seven Swords" aired, some viewers would not only be looking forward to the next episode's plot, but also to the photoshoot featuring him at the end of the next episode.
An indescribable tension and emotion surged from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. She hugged the man's neck and kissed him forcefully for a while.

"If you really let the whole country see my photos every night after the show, wouldn't the media say you've spoiled me rotten!"

"I'm happy to do it, who cares what others say!" Chen Yuan led the crew back to his beloved Sichuan.

Sitting in the car, Chen Hong stared wide-eyed at the huge portrait of Chen Yuan erected outside the airport expressway, with the words "Welcome to the Land of Abundance" printed on it. She was lost in thought.

She vividly remembers the grand scene when she got off the plane, where two department heads from the Sichuan Culture Bureau and Tourism Bureau personally came to pick her up, accompanied by a large group of journalists.

Old Chen seems to have never enjoyed this level of treatment before!

"Isn't this a bit too much?"

Coming to his senses, he asked Yang Xue beside him, "Has your CEO Chen become the spokesperson for Sichuan?"

"Yes, a week ago, Sichuan Province awarded Yuan Yuzhou the honorary title of 'Leading Enterprise in Cultural Tourism Industry' and also gave him the award of 'Outstanding Contribution to Tourism Industry Development'."

He also became the tourism ambassador for Sichuan, and now his huge advertisements can be seen on billboards along highways, railways, and even at the airport leading into Sichuan.

The photographer, Xiao Sun, who was driving in front, chimed in:

Previously, I worked with Assistant Director Liu, who was in charge of location scouting. We traveled to almost every tourist attraction in Sichuan and got to know many relevant personnel and leaders.

They told me that this summer, the number of tourists visiting Sichuan increased by a full 45% compared to last year, with foreign tourists increasing by 300% compared to previous years. I think the vast majority of the credit can be attributed to General Manager Chen.”

Yang Xue's eyebrows shot up, her jaw nearly dropping in astonishment:

"Wow, were foreign viewers drawn to Sichuan to see the giant pandas after watching 'Kung Fu Panda'?"

"Yes, the Olympic bid brought China into the international spotlight, and Kung Fu Panda made the Kung Fu Panda Park in Sichuan a must-visit destination for foreign tourists when they come to China."

Tourists don't just come to Sichuan to see pandas; they also visit other attractions, spend money, and boost the local economy and people's livelihoods.

So, our CEO Chen is incredibly popular in Sichuan!

"It's true that a person's reputation precedes them; no wonder President Chen is so popular with the leaders in the cultural and tourism sector," Chen Hong exclaimed in admiration.

"Our crew can also benefit from his influence. We received a large amount of sponsorship from the Tourism Bureau and the Culture Bureau before. This time, when filming 'Legend of Seven Swords' in Sichuan, we can also enjoy a high filming subsidy."

The filming crew, set designers, and guests are all very cooperative.

Other film crews often encounter harassment and interference from shady forces when filming in other locations, but our crew doesn't have to worry about that problem much.

Sister Chen Hong, Yang Xue, let me tell you something interesting, don't think it's an exaggeration.

Director Liu had previously selected ancient towns with stream views, and two places were suitable, so he added them both to his shortlist and will investigate them in more detail later.

A month ago, just days after news broke that the Chengdu Panda Park was nearly overcrowded during the overseas run of "Kung Fu Panda,"...
The mayor of an ancient town and some local tourism officials secretly approached Director Liu, hoping he would choose their location for filming.

Chen Hong took a deep breath. "I'm envious of the popularity of Chengdu Panda Park and Shunan Bamboo Sea. I hope that President Chen can create another miracle and make their places popular too!"

Chen Yuan is truly no ordinary person. Just thinking about how a TV series would involve such a huge task makes me feel immense pressure!

Yang Xue pointed to herself and said with a helpless, bitter smile:

"Sister Chen Hong, I'm under tremendous pressure, okay? If the TV series becomes popular, and I bully you so much in the show, I feel like my reputation will be comparable to that of Rong Momo!"

Chen Hong chuckled. The more pitiful Ni Zhenzhen, the character she played, the more despicable Ma San Niang, the character Yang Xue played.

It was rather cruel to cast Yang Xue, a newcomer who hadn't even graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, in this role. Chen Hong didn't know what Chen Yuan was thinking.

She held Yang Xue's hand and comforted her:

"You've already signed with Metaverse, so I'm sure your boss won't do anything to you. Good luck!"
