Chapter 337 Holy crap, is this something a human can learn?
Everyone looked at Chen Jincheng, clearly guessing what he was going to do.
In that instant, Chen Jincheng gripped the scabbard, swung it violently, and the scabbard flew out, revealing the unsheathed Longquan sword in his hand.
This move is very elegant, with an affinity for swordsmanship; it's skillful and beautiful.
"So handsome!" Li Lixing's eyes were practically sparkling.
Xiao Ju and Li Xiaoyan glanced at her subconsciously, then pursed their lips. Who doesn't know how handsome the boss is? Does he need a little girl like you to call him that?
Looking at Li Lixing's youthful appearance, they had inexplicable thoughts.
After all, compared to the other party, they are quite old.
Women are very sensitive in this regard.
The next moment, however, they were staring at their boss, unable to look away.
Chen Jincheng swung the Longquan sword in his hand upwards, and the sword actually spun twice in mid-air before falling down. But at the moment of falling, Chen Jincheng jumped up and kicked the hilt of the sword directly, while he also did a stylish spin.
But when he kicked the sword, it spun rapidly upwards, rising to a very high position before spinning back down.
Then, they witnessed the most unbelievable scene: the boss spun around once and landed on the ground, simultaneously raising his right hand without even looking and accurately catching the hilt of the spinning, falling longsword.
Clearly, his sword-kicking move has been improved, making it much more difficult and requiring much more skill than the original special effects.
This scene, however, was as if a true knight-errant had suddenly appeared before their eyes.
The key question is, is this something a human being can do?
Not only Xiao Ju and Li Xiaoyan, but also Li Lixing, Wu Liufang, Fu Qian, Sister Hong, Lao Chen, the employees of Ershixingchen, and the actors of the art troupe were all dumbfounded.
Everyone gasped as they watched Chen Jincheng walk to the scabbard, tiptoe to lift it, and then deftly sheath the sword with a flick of his wrist, hoisting it onto his shoulder.
My God, this isn't a dream.
Li Lixing felt her heart pounding faster.
Wu Liufang felt the same way. She suddenly understood why her boss had such a bad reputation as a scumbag, known throughout the internet, and still had so many female fans.
He's so handsome.
With just this one move, she was completely captivated by her boss.
Not only her, but when she turned to look at Li Lixing, the girl's eyes practically bulged out, and she seemed to have flown to the boss.
Look at Li Xiaoyan, she immediately ran over to the boss and started acting all cute and flirtatious: "Boss, you're so handsome, how did you do that just now? Do you really know the kind of martial arts you see in TV shows and movies?"
This made Lao Chen and the others curious.
Seriously, after what just happened, no one would believe the boss didn't know that kind of martial arts.
Chen Jincheng laughed and said, "In modern society, there is no such martial art. It all depends on talent and diligent practice. Many people spend time practicing and can definitely do it too."
Upon hearing this, Fu Qian and the others looked at him with strange expressions. "You showed off your skills in front of us, but now you don't have those kinds of martial arts skills. Many people can do it if they spend time practicing."
Are you a liar?
They almost thought they were dreaming after what they just witnessed.
Chen Jincheng naturally saw the shocked expressions on these people's faces. This was the effect he wanted; otherwise, what would be the point of him showing it off?
Only in this way can we not only reach the popularity of the original version's more than 16.6 million likes, but also more than double the data, making it even more popular.
He put his arm around Li Xiaoyan's waist and said with a smile, "Alright, take a look at the script and get ready to start filming. Let's get moving."
Upon hearing his words, the people of the Second Star immediately sprang into action.
Old Chen also took the script and started arranging for people to set up cameras.
The video the boss wants to shoot isn't just a short video; it's more like a story-driven video. During filming, one camera definitely won't be enough; multiple angles will be needed.
Moreover, the boss values this video so much that he wants it to have a cinematic quality.
The people of the Second Star are very quick to act, and each of them demonstrates professionalism.
After all, it was the first MCN company on the entire internet, and the salaries were high. Now it has a lot of talent, not to mention that people from LeTV's film and television sector have joined. It can be said that the people of Ershixingchen can make a movie on their own. The only problem is that they don't have a good director.
Guo Fan and Guo Daji will join later.
When filming "Wandering Blue Star", these people will probably all be reassigned to participate.
Even Fu Qian and the others could tell that the people from Ershixing were very professional, and couldn't help but praise them: "These professionals are just different from the amateur photographers that scenic spots hire."
Before long, all the staff of Jinglan City were gathered there, all dressed in ancient costumes, and there were a lot of them.
After seeing these people, Old Chen began to make arrangements.
This video starts with the shopkeeper buying a sword at the city gate, so there need to be a lot of people at the city gate to fill the frame.
Furthermore, the nearest streets within the city should also be arranged to resemble the bustling atmosphere of an ancient city; an ancient city can't be completely deserted, can it?
Then there's the tumbler performance area. We need to arrange for a crowd to watch the performance, and also film videos specifically for the two girls. The company wants to take this opportunity to promote these two girls as well.
Another task is to arrange makeup. After selecting some important passersby, they need to be made up, such as the sword seller at the city gate.
Old Chen, now experienced, quickly arranged everything and filming could begin. He immediately informed Chen Jincheng: "Boss, everything is arranged, we can start filming."
Chen Jincheng nodded and left Jinglan City. When he arrived at the city gate, he began preparing to film.
At first, he walked to the front of Jinglan City, and was attracted by a sword seller at the city gate. Because he liked the sword, he bought it.
The person selling the sword was a man in his fifties from Jinglan City. After putting on makeup, he actually looked quite convincing. After selling the sword to Chen Jincheng, he kept talking in a mysterious way about how the sword was extraordinary.
Next, we'll discuss Chen Jincheng's entry into Jinglan City.
Old Chen plans to add a special effect here.
The point is to let people know that the boss's trip into the city is like traveling through time, and that he's no longer in the modern world outside.
The scene shifts, and the city is now filled with people dressed in ancient costumes.
Chen Jincheng strolled around and came to an area where the "Tumbler Girl" was performing. He looked over curiously and saw that Li Lixing and Wu Liufang were shown close-up shots of the "Tumbler Girl." Then, Xiao Ju and Li Xiaoyan squeezed through the crowd and saw him saying something strange about his outfit.
The filming went very smoothly.
Chen Jincheng, Xiao Ju, and Li Xiaoyan are all very experienced in shooting videos.
Afterwards, everyone was given a short break because the next segment was a solo performance by Chan Kam-Ching, featuring sword kicking and sword dancing.
After completing the sword kick, he grabbed the sword and went to change into ancient costume. This was a necessary change of clothes to signify his integration into the city and his true transformation into an ancient swordsman. Then came a sword dance, before he was attracted by two beautiful girls in Hanfu, Xiao Ju and Li Xiaoyan, and followed them. The video ended there.
They filmed it twice more, and Chen Jincheng and Lao Chen reviewed some of the footage before deciding it was ready to be used.
"Boss, we'll edit this today, and the finished product will be ready tomorrow," Old Chen said with a smile.
"Okay, go film the 'Tumbler Girl' video. The company will promote them later," Chen Jincheng instructed.
"Don't worry," Old Chen assured him with a smile, and then began making arrangements again.
When filming was finished, it was lunchtime, and Fu Qian immediately extended an invitation: "Mr. Chen, everyone, I have had food prepared at a restaurant in the city. Let's go and have a taste."
Chen Jincheng naturally did not refuse.
Moreover, it really is a restaurant, just like the ones you see in TV shows and movies, only a bit bigger. Sitting on the second floor by the window, you can actually see the crowds coming and going below, just like on TV.
If there are many tourists, the streets will be filled with people in ancient costumes, which will definitely create a very special atmosphere.
"Mr. Chen, how is the food here? It's all traditional dishes from Linhai City," Fu Qian asked with a smile.
“Not bad, it tastes great,” Chen Jincheng nodded.
However, while eating, he felt that something was missing in Jinglan City. After thinking for a long time, his eyes lit up and he realized what it was: a traditional craft performance.
Just like in TV dramas, many scenes feature street performers, such as breaking a large stone on their chest.
Jinglan City doesn't need to perform such low-class acts, but there are other things they can find to perform.
Chen Jincheng immediately said to Fu Qian, "Chairman Fu, Jinglan City also needs to find some performers of traditional skills and set up a special performance area for them. Moreover, there are some skills that must be found. This can not only promote traditional skills, but also attract many tourists."
Fu Qian took Mr. Chen's suggestion very seriously and immediately asked, "Mr. Chen, please speak."
Chen Jincheng thought of the traditional skills that had become popular online in his previous life and named them one by one: "Fire kettle, iron flower making, lion dance, Sichuan opera fire breathing, face changing, intangible cultural heritage Kung Fu tea, national treasure zombie fall, ghost step, fire swallowing, flying kick onto the table, paper tossing..."
Every time Chen Jincheng said a name, Wei Weiwei would write it down, very attentively.
Honestly, she had never heard of many of these things before, but she never expected that Mr. Chen would be able to recite them so familiarly.
After Chen Jincheng finished speaking, he added, "President Fu, as long as you can replicate these traditional skills in Jinglan City, Jinglan City will become an irreplaceable ancient city in the country."
These traditional skills were once wildly popular in another world, leading a craze for a time. Their popularity among the public also represents the revival of traditional skills in China. Everyone has begun to notice that our country's own acrobatic performances are so dazzling, not at all inferior to Western acrobatic performances.
In particular, the fire kettle and the iron flower performance have become extremely popular in various scenic spots, with every performance packed with people.
Upon hearing Chen Jincheng's words, Fu Qian also began searching for these traditional skills online, but at this point in time, these skills were not yet known to the public.
However, after just examining the condition of the kettle, Fu Qian was amazed and immediately instructed Wei Weiwei, "Weiwei, go find these craftsmen immediately, find them as quickly as possible."
“Okay, Director Fu.” Wei Weiwei nodded immediately; she had only watched one kettle performance.
The scene of him being engulfed in flames was so exciting, so thrilling, so breathtaking.
After finishing his meal, Chen Jincheng had completed his tasks and was about to return to the company when he suddenly received a call from Yi Jin.
Upon answering the call, Yi Jin happily said, "Brother Cheng, that guy's been tricked. When are you planning to beat him up?"
Chen Jincheng understood that the other party was pointing to the suitcase. He said in surprise, "It's only been a short time, are they really that easy to fool?"
Yi Jin couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Cheng, I didn't expect this either. You asked me to find that young man, A Nao. I was thinking of giving him some money to help me, but who knew he would be so enthusiastic, as if he couldn't wait for that suitcase to be in trouble."
Chen Jincheng laughed when he heard this.
The people who want you dead are always highly qualified colleagues, and the people who want you to suffer the most are often highly qualified people around you. It's like being afraid that your brother will suffer, but also afraid that your brother will drive a Land Rover.
If someone actually buys a Land Rover, no one around them, except their parents and wife, will feel comfortable. Even their parents and wife might not feel comfortable, because they might be like Voldemort.
Yi Jin laughed and said, "The key is that young man A Nao tricked Pi Xiang Yuan, saying that your strength is not that great, and that he wanted to use him to go into the ring together to expose fakes and put on a show, so as to gain traffic for both sides. Pi Xiang Yuan actually believed it."
"Isn't this brainless? With your current popularity, Brother Cheng, why would you need to resort to this method?"
Chen Jincheng wasn't surprised by this, after all, it was something that had happened in another world. He smiled and said, "Make arrangements as soon as possible. I'm itching to get involved, and I also want to take advantage of this wave of attention."
An idea popped into his head again. Before, when he was practicing swordsmanship, so many people on the internet wanted to beat him up and challenge him. The popularity was so high. Now, if news spread that he was going to fight Leather Suitcase in a ring, the popularity would explode.
If he were to say to Leather Suitcase Yuan on the stage, "Hurry up, I still have to go to Jinglan City, I don't have time to waste with you," then...
Then the name Jinglan City will explode. If he then releases the sword-kicking video, not only will the number of likes be more than double the 16.6 million likes in the other world, but it will also create a video with terrifyingly high data. At that time, this will definitely be a record that Douyin will find difficult to break.
Sometimes, publicity and promotion require flexibility and cannot be static.
Moreover, this change will bring a great highlight to the entire Jinglan City.
When the time comes, the video he filmed can be connected to the video of him beating up the leather box. The video will make people not realize that he has that sword skill, because he is a master himself. Didn't you see that the people who went up to fight him were beaten to tears?
So, Beating the Suitcase became a prequel to Jinglan City. And so it went, with more and more ideas coming up. I wonder if some fans will eventually ask him to make a movie out of it.
Yi Jin's voice came again: "Brother Cheng, since you want it quick, how about tomorrow? Anyway, that guy has already arrived in Linhai City, I can arrange it for you right now."
“Okay!” Chen Jincheng said with a smile.
Meanwhile, Pi Xiangyuan had already checked into a luxurious five-star hotel in Linhai City. He was very satisfied with the environment and said to the young man, A'nao, "A'nao, I didn't expect them to be so sincere. This hotel is so comfortable and so big."
“Yes, I’ll film a video and post it on WeChat Moments,” his wife chimed in with a smile.
Arnold watched the scene with amusement. Just then, his phone rang. He answered immediately after seeing the number and said after a moment, "Yes, he's next to me. He's very satisfied with the place he's staying and said you're very sincere. Okay, I'll let them know."
After hanging up the phone, he immediately smiled and said to Pi Xiangyuan, "Xiangyuan, it was them who called to ask if you're comfortable with your place. See, they really value this opportunity to promote you."
"Of course I'm satisfied. I never thought that beating Chen Jincheng like that would actually make me stand out." Pi Xiangyuan said with a smug look on his face, "This time, by hyping things up with the other party, I'm sure I'll gain a lot of traffic. Like you said, 500 million fans is not a problem."
Taking the opportunity, the young man, A'nao, said, "The other side said the match will start tomorrow."
"Then let's play tomorrow, that's exactly what I want," said Pi Xiangyuan immediately.
Indeed, one should become famous as early as possible. The earlier he fights, the sooner he will become famous. He even thought about beating up Chen Jincheng. After all, if the other party is trying to create hype with him like this, then Chen Jincheng must not have much real skill, just as A'nao said.
If he can beat up Chen Jincheng, then his calls to beat up Chen Jincheng during this time will not have been in vain. Everyone will know how powerful he is, and those who mocked him will have nothing to say.
His little schemes started to go crazy.
