Changed several sets of clothes in a row.

Shan Xiang expressed his dissatisfaction, always feeling that something was missing.

Finally Shan Xiang figured it out.

It’s not that the style of the clothes doesn’t suit Lu Chen.

It’s just that the texture of the clothes doesn’t match the level of this song…

After thinking it over, Shan Xiang waved his hand and said, "Give me that set of embroidered hairpins."

"ah?!"

The staff were all stunned: "Dean, this..."

"It's okay, give it to me." Shan Xiang said firmly.

The clothes were brought quickly.

It was a long robe that was entirely light golden in color.

You don't need to look closely to feel the texture.

After a closer look, the texture and design of this outfit are even more amazing!

Even Qian Keli was shocked and moved: "Old Dan, this suit is not simple!"

Shan Xiang nodded: "This set of clothes with fine embroidery is a handicraft in our museum. It took three top craftsmen three years to sew this one piece."

Qian Keli: "So precious?! Is this clothing a cultural relic?"

Shan Xiang: "It's not a cultural relic, but it can be considered a top-level craft, so it's eligible for admission."

Qian Keli: "How much does it cost?"

Shan Xiang: "I don't have a price, but last year there was an auction that sold a shorter model than this one for about five million. This one should be more expensive."

Qian Keli and Lu Chen looked at each other.

"Dean Shan, this... forget it. I'm afraid my clothes will be damaged."

Upon hearing the price, Lu Chen shuddered. Wouldn’t this dress cost at least seven or eight million, or even tens of millions?

Sure enough, only domestic products are luxurious.

Instead, it becomes luxurious and too "domestic".

It's not something ordinary people can imagine at all.

It’s not that he can’t afford to pay for it, Lu Chen is just afraid of damaging it.

"It's okay. You're filming for the Forbidden City. You're so meticulous, so we don't need to say more. Try it on and let me see how it looks."

After Shan Xiang's repeated persuasion.

Lu Chen then tried it on with reluctance. As soon as he put it on, everyone's eyes lit up.

Qian Keli couldn't help but applaud and sighed, "It's true that clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha! After putting on this dress, I feel completely different!"

“So handsome!”

"Teacher Lu Chen must be a top star when he shoots costume dramas!"

Several female staff members were already crazy about Lu Chen, and they became even more so after he put on this dress.

So bright and eye-catching!

It seems like this suit was made for Lu Chen.

Shan Xiang finally nodded with satisfaction: "That's it!"

…

Afterwards, the Forbidden City was closed for filming.

What Lu Chen had to do was very simple, which was to take a few singing poses in several key halls and buildings in the Forbidden City.

Under the guidance of Director He, a “local expert”.

In one hour, not only did we finish the original plan, but we also shot two additional sets of shots.

It's perfect!

When Shan Xiang saw the video of Lu Chen singing with his arms open in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

I just felt an indescribable mysterious emotion! The vicissitudes of the history of the Forbidden City and Lu Chen, the suave and talented younger generation, merged together to create a sense of vitality.

It made him feel indescribably touched!

It was not until this moment that he understood why he did not use some veteran singers.

Because young people are the sun of this country!

It is the rising sun! Its radiance is unbridled!

Bright and boundless!

…

"Teacher Lu Chen, I have arranged a dinner. Please do me the honor of having dinner with me. President Qian should also do me the honor of joining us."

After work, it was already past five o'clock without me noticing.

Lu Chen was too embarrassed to refuse the dinner invitation. It was already time for dinner and he could go back home after eating, so he agreed generously.

Shan Xiang admired Lu Chen more and more. "By the way, you said that we have been so busy that we forgot the most important thing. Mr. Lu Chen, regarding the fees, I believe Lao Qian has also told you that we are willing to increase the market price by 20%. We have inquired about your external quotation. One song is four million, right? Then we will round it up and offer five million for this song. What do you think?"

Lu Chen knew that state-owned companies would pay money readily (except for industrial companies…), but he didn’t expect them to be so quick. He smiled and said, “Dean Shan, I actually don’t have any external quotations now. I haven’t sold songs for a long time.”

Upon hearing this, Shan Xiang and Qian Keli looked at each other in surprise.

Ah this...

Could it be that the money was not enough? Just when Shan Xiang was secretly worried, he wanted to ask for his opinion.

Lu Chen's next words were completely unexpected: "In fact, I have said to Mr. Qian on the phone that money doesn't matter. It is an honor to cooperate with your museum. And frankly speaking, after I wrote this song, I also feel that as the younger generation, we should do more for the country when we are capable. It is a responsibility.

Moreover, while writing this song, I also gained something very precious. So I decided to license this song to your museum for free. Your museum can use it for publicity at any time and in any occasion. "

As soon as these words came out.

Shan Xiang, Qian Keli, and the others all had their faces changed instantly and their pupils shrank, obviously caught off guard by these words.

Shan Xiang waved his hands repeatedly: "Teacher Lu Chen, let's put things in perspective. No, no, no, this is too much of a loss for you! How can we ask you for a song for free? No, no, no."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Dean Shan has misunderstood. It's not given away for free. I still own the exclusive copyright of this song.

I will just authorize you to use this song for free.

In other aspects, such as the paid revenue from major music platforms, they still belong to me.

But don't worry, this song will become the theme song of the Forbidden City.

I will not re-authorize this song to other units.

In a sense, let’s just consider it as a co-creation between the two of us.”

Shan Xiang still waved his hand: "Isn't the logic the same? I'm asking you to write a song for us for free. No, no, this is definitely not possible! You came all the way here, worked hard, and paid for it. This is unacceptable. Don't worry, you don't have to give me this face. It's really okay. We have a budget every year. We already had a budget for this song. It's not my money that was spent."

Qian Keli also said: "Yes, Xiaolu, let's put it this way, we still have to collect the money."

Lu Chen seemed to have made up his mind: "Dean Shan, Mr. Qian, to be honest, this is what I think now. I was inspired to write such a song under such a coincidence. This is already a gift. If there is no such opportunity, there will probably be no song, so this is already the biggest reward. To be more hypocritical, I sang so emotionally and righteously. If I still care too much about gains and losses..., I may not be very satisfied. Anyway, you can treat me as young and willful for once, and I can afford to be willful. If you have to talk about the price, frankly speaking, I just need to say that it costs 5 million to write a song. I guess there are quite a few people in the entire domestic entertainment industry who ask me to write songs. Instead of causing some unnecessary trouble, it is better to be pure. I don't like unnecessary trouble."

Seeing Lu Chen say this.

Shan Xiang didn't know what to say for a moment and looked at Qian Keli.

Lu Chen waved his hands and laughed, there was no need for favors.

Shan Xiang pondered for a long time before nodding and saying, "Well... OK, Mr. Lu Chen is so kind, it would be blasphemous if I mentioned money again. By the way, Mr. Lu Chen, I have something to ask you, when is your concert?"

Lu Chen: "Nine more days."

Shan Xiang: “Where?”

Lu Chen: "This time in Hangzhou."

Although it hasn’t been announced to the public yet, it will be soon, so it doesn’t hurt to talk about it.

Shan Xiang: "Will you sing the song "Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth" then?"

Lu Chen: "If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely happen."

Shan Xiang nodded: "Okay, I understand!"

Qian Keli: "What do you understand?"

Shan Xiang just smiled and didn't say anything more.

Then the group set off for the booked hotel.

Lu Chen then turned on his phone, and a series of message pop-ups appeared.

Zhao Ling and Feng Nan both received messages and phone calls.

In addition, there was another person who surprised him a little—Su Siyu.

"How did she know I came to Sijiu City?"

Lu Chen was surprised.

Without thinking too much, Lu Chen pushed the ball back.

The call was answered immediately.

"Hello, Miss Su."

"Teacher Lu Chen, are you in the Forbidden City?!"

"Yes, I just went out, to Shenwumen, how did you know I was here?"

"Someone filmed a video of you, and it's all over the internet now. I only found out about it when I saw the video."

“…”

Alas, the Internet that makes people love and hate it.

"Would you please wait for me? I'll come over now. I'm at the east gate."

"Are you coming to the Forbidden City to play today?"

"No, no... I saw you here, so I came over..."

The voice on the other end became noticeably weaker.

Lu Chen looked at the time when she sent him the message. Wow, it was almost two hours ago.

"You wouldn't have come earlier, would you?"

"Um."

Lu Chen: “…”

"Okay then. I'll wait for you here."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Chen asked the driver to stop the car and wait for a while, saying that a friend was coming over.

Qian Keli smiled and said, "Girlfriend?"

Lu Chen: "What the hell, friend. And you should know her too."

Qian Keli was surprised: "Who is it?"

Lu Chen: "Su Siyu."

Qian Keli was slightly surprised: "The little girl from the Su family!"

Lu Chen: “Ah?”

Qian Keli smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

After a while, Su Siyu drove over.

"Teacher Lu Chen!"

"Let's go and have dinner together!"

Lu Chen got off the car directly and got into Su Siyu's car.

Seeing this action, Su Siyu was stunned at first, then her face turned red, and she agreed somehow...

On the way, Su Siyu couldn't help but wonder why Lu Chen suddenly came to Sijiu City this time.

Lu Chen answered vaguely. After all, it was hard to say.

After three rounds of wine, the dishes have five flavors.

At the dinner table, everyone started chatting.

The atmosphere is lively and friendly.

Originally, Su Siyu never attended this kind of dinner party, but she was particularly happy to attend today's meal.

Eat from six to eight.

During the period, Lu Chen and Shan Xiang drank so much that they became close friends.

When we parted, we were so reluctant to leave.

"Brother Lu Chen, I won't say anything more. I will send some peripheral products of the Forbidden City to your company later. Please don't be disgusted. In addition, you and your family will be able to visit the Forbidden City for free forever in the future! I will send the relevant documents together with the peripheral products! As I said before, thank you very much! Thank you very much!"

"You're welcome, Dean Shan. OK, Dean Shan, Mr. Qian, and everyone, come to Hangzhou when you have time. We can drink together then!"

"Okay, sure! Bon voyage then!"

After the two sides shook hands solemnly, Lu Chen waved and got into Su Siyu's car, and she helped take him to the airport.

Watch the car lights go away.

Qian Keli sighed: "I have a good eye, right? Is it the best of the best?"

Shan Xiang nodded and gave a thumbs up: "What an incredible, amazing young man!"

Qian Keli was very proud. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Hey, what did you mean by that this afternoon?"

Shan Xiang: "What?"

Qian Ke rolled his eyes at him and said, "Are you still pretending? Dean Shan is well-known, how could I not know that? You wouldn't be making a fuss. You asked Lu Chen when and where he would hold his concert, and whether he would sing "Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth". I wouldn't believe you if you didn't have any plans."

Shan Xiang smiled and said, "As expected, I can't hide anything from you. Okay, it's okay to tell you. It's rude not to reciprocate. I decided to give him a big gift."

Qian Keli was surprised: "A great gift? What great gift?"

Shan Xiang smiled broadly, yet was extremely mysterious: "Guess..."
