Huayu, can you be called the best actor if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 363 Private Horse Farm
With a muffled groan.

Silence returned to the office.

Contented, Lin Yue stood up with trembling legs, twisting her waist to pull down her wrinkled skirt.

Covering up the fair skin are the extremely sexy black stockings.

“Please help me find an English teacher!”

Looking at the tattered white shirt on the woman with a smile, Li Luo bit his cigar in a relaxed manner: "I'm about to go abroad, so I have to pick up my spoken English. I can't have an interpreter following me everywhere."

Let’s put the matter of establishing a long video platform aside for now.

There is no need to mention it to Lin Yue.

If you talk about challenging BAT now, the other party will just treat you as a lunatic.

Moreover, people today probably did not expect that this industry would flourish so quickly, and then collapse so quickly under the influence of capital from all sides, like a fleeting firework.

After the splendor, only endless darkness remains.

"you sure?"

Helplessly pulling at the tattered cloth on her body, Lin Yue cast a seductive look and sat on him: "Dear student Li, are you sure you don't need the sexy and hot teacher Lin to teach you personally?"

Fluent American English came out so crisply from those beautiful red lips.

Fortunately, Li Luo is not a bad student.

My spoken English is a little worse, but I can still understand clearly.

Only then did he realize that the girl sitting on his lap was a top student from a top business school in the United States. Instead of finding a private trainer outside, it would be better to let Lin Yue teach him more.

"All right!"

Li Luo couldn't let go of the giant thunder and looked contented: "Then I'll leave this task to you."

"Hahaha."

The poor English that came out made Lin Yue laugh so hard that her chest shook.

"Take it easy."

Seeing the dangerous light flashing in his eyes, Manager Lin was so scared that he quickly stood up, twisted his hips and pushed open the door of the secret room: "A month is enough time to correct your accent. In fact, this thing is very simple."

“More communication would be nice!”

"I'm not afraid of saying it wrong, I'm just afraid of not daring to say it."

"It doesn't matter if you speak nonsense, people will automatically recognize what you say."

Manager Lin opened the closet with familiarity and picked up a brand new shirt: "In fact, many foreigners speak Chinese in a confusing way, but we can still understand it clearly."

The words say so.

Li Luo still intends to work hard in this regard.

Although it’s nothing special to be able to speak English, I am a public figure after all.

If you speak haltingly, you will easily be ridiculed by others.

It's too much.

This is a typical example.

Amid Lin Yue's occasional laughter, he continued to communicate in his unskilled English, confirming that the scripts for the two films, Painted Skin and Crazy Racing, had been submitted for filing.

At the same time, with the help of Manager Lin, he changed into a slightly sporty outfit.

"What does Wang Zhongjun want to see you about?"

Gently helping to tuck in the collar, Lin Yue continued, "You should try to get rid of your current British accent and move closer to my Hollywood accent, even though British English is indeed authentic."

“But considering the influence, the Hollywood pronunciation is the best for you.”

"OK."

Li Luo took off his watch and put it on the watch winder. He opened his mouth but reluctantly switched back to Chinese: "Wang Zhongjun is a guy who never comes to see me for no reason. God knows what he has come to me for."

"If the enemy comes, we will fight him; if the water comes, we will block it with earth."

Change into some casual clothes and put on a sports watch.

He carried the golf club bag on his back and left Lin Yue to think about changing the film and television company. Li Luo drove the Escalade alone towards Wenyu River in the suburbs of Beijing.

Beijing in April.

It's no longer gray.

Under the sunshine, there is lush greenery everywhere.

Especially on the golf course.

These vast expanses of green are a joy to look at.

What is even more refreshing than this scenery is Huo Siyan wearing a golf skirt. Her pair of white and tender legs are quite straight, and the polo shirt on her body draws a full arc.

Compared with her gorgeous appearance at the Academy Awards ceremony, the woman at this moment has a more pure and beautiful feeling.

The other party just stood right beside Wang Zhonglei.

Smiling brightly.

Wang Zhongjun was also very clear-headed. There was also a beautiful, youthful girl standing next to him. I didn't know whether she was an actress or a model.

Play golf and chat with a girl on a scenic golf course.

It is indeed enjoyable.

Everyone else brought beautiful girls with them, but I was alone.

This situation would definitely be embarrassing for anyone else, but Li Luo jumped out of the car with a smile, raised his hand and called out: "Brother Jun, Brother Lei, please don't let me lose too badly later!"

The roaring Escalade had already attracted Huo Siyan's attention.

See Li Luo getting out of the car.

Her eyes lit up.

She didn't expect that the guy she had an appointment with to play basketball today would be this guy. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes last time, she would never have believed that the handsome Li Luo could be so powerful and majestic.

Just like the car I'm driving, bang bang hard!
Even though my heart is burning.

But considering that the boss was still around, she could only suppress the urge to go over there immediately.

“Nice car!”

Wang Zhongjun laughed and walked forward, taking off his sunglasses. "Ah Luo, just don't let us lose too badly. Why did you come here alone? Tell us earlier so we can find you a companion!"

"Zhuo Yan."

He stepped aside again and introduced with a smile: "Come and meet Director Li. He is a famous director who has just been shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival."

"Flatter on him, it will do you good."

Hear this.

Li Luo immediately turned around and grabbed the car door.

"Don't."

Wang Zhongjun laughed again and quickly grabbed his arm: "Brother, aren't you trying to introduce you to a pretty girl? Zhuo Yan, play basketball with Luo Ge later."

"okay."

The girl, full of youthful energy, stepped forward immediately and stretched out her hand with a smile: "Hello, Luo Ge, I'm Zhuo Yan, and I played Shuang'er in the TV series The Deer and the Cauldron."

"Hello."

Li Luo smiled and shook hands with the other party.

At the same time, his heart couldn't help but beat with vigilance.

It seems like today is a Hongmen Banquet!

Although they had dealt with each other before, to be frank, their relationship was just that. Although Huayi had not yet reached its heyday, its status in the industry was naturally needless to say. Now Wang Zhongjun actually put on such an attitude.

Either he has something to ask for, or he is holding back a fart and wants to harm himself.

No matter what.

You have to be careful yourself.

With a happy smile, Li Luo shook hands with Wang Zhonglei again.

Huo Siyan didn't miss it either.

In fact, the relationship between them is very subtle, and they can be said to be strangers. However, because of a tacit eye contact at the award ceremony, they both know very well who the other is in their hearts.

With a very polite and appropriate smile, the two of them put their palms firmly together.

But when they let go, they both scratched the other's palm at the same time.

The smiles on their faces became even brighter.

At Wang Zhongjun's warm greeting, everyone stepped into the golf course and played the hole-in-the-hole game amid laughter and chatter.

Mix in the circle.

It seems like filming is not my job.

Mahjong, bathing, drinking, and leisure sports such as golf seem more like main duties, while making friends and finding ways to build personal connections seem more important.

At least that's what the two girls think, and they are doing their best to liven up the atmosphere.

Just to leave a better impression in front of the boss.

This kind of thing cannot be said to be wrong.

For many people, it is even an inevitable choice to get promoted.

But Li Luo knows very well that only if he is strong himself can he be truly strong. Otherwise, the TV series he acted in would be very popular, "SPL" would be a big hit at the box office, and "Crazy Stone" would make a huge profit.

I definitely wouldn't be treated the way I am now in front of Wang Zhongjun.

The swing of the club.

More than two hours passed quickly.

With Wang Zhongjun's gentle push, the white ball rolled on the grass for a distance and fell steadily into the round hole.

Sparse applause then broke out nearby.

After winning the match with the fewest strokes, Wang Zhongjun took out his wallet with a smile on his face and began handing out red bills to all the caddies present, being extremely generous.

However, despite this, Li Luo still handed two hundred yuan to his caddy.

I ran back and forth for more than two hours.

Don't be stingy.

It's just that Wang Zhongjun is the guy who makes him so confused. He just chats about everything for two hours, all kinds of nonsense, and never talks about business.

Fortunately, I have enough energy to cultivate my qi, so I can chat with them about everything.

Anyway, when the two girls were playing ball, their white skirts fluttered, and their buttocks were half exposed, which was pleasing to the eye for him.

There was no trace of impatience.

"Arlo."

After being a money-spending boy, Wang Zhongjun took off his gloves and walked towards him in a good mood: "It was really pleasant to play the ball today. I must have a couple of drinks later."

"I know you can drink a lot, but don't try to be sneaky."

"no problem."

Li Luo smiled and nodded, squinting at the afternoon sun: "It's still early now, I'll send a location to Jun later, and I'll arrange it tonight."

"What a joke."

Wang Zhongjun threw his gloves in the direction of the caddy and said with great momentum, "This is my territory right next to it, there's no need for you to make arrangements. Anyway, there's nothing else to do, let's go for a ride together!"

After a simple wash.

Several cars roared away from the golf course.

After just a few minutes, Li Luo understood that walking the horse meant literally.

Rather than some jargon.

A fleet of luxury cars including BMW Z8, Aston Martin and Escalade drove into a private horse farm with a cloud of dust. Everything around him opened his eyes.

The towering wall of trees stretches as far as the eye can see.

There are several racecourses, oval tracks, straight-line acceleration venues, etc. scattered among them.

Several slender horses were scattered in the woods near the river, chewing grass slowly. There were also tall horses walking in the training ground driven by staff, their huge hooves raising clouds of dust.

The slender limbs and streamlined skin lines show that it is very expensive.

The crew is filming.

You can't afford to use such a horse easily.

Li Luo looked around with great interest until he followed the convoy to a villa in the middle of the racecourse. However, after he pushed the door and got out of the car, he looked at the black horse circling not far away with great interest. The size of the horse was really exaggerated.

Looks handsome.

Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei looked at each other, and both of them smiled with satisfaction.

No matter what we talk about.

At least you have to create a comfortable conversation environment.

Play some golf first, then go for a stroll in a place like this. Once you feel more relaxed, everything will be easier to discuss.

But Wang Zhongjun did not take it lightly. He squinted his eyes and looked at the handsome guy. He did not expect that the other party had such strong concentration that he did not ask anything after playing for two hours.

When I was in my twenties, I wasn't that cunning.

"Arlo."

With one hand in his pocket, he strode over and said, "Being here is just like being home. You can ride any horse you like. Have dinner here. I asked the chef to prepare some seafood."

"The way you southerners eat it is to steam it and enjoy its original flavor."

"Where are you?"

Li Luo handed over the cigar in his hand.

At the same time, Huo Siyan and He Zhuoyan ran towards one of the horse pens shouting and yelling, and Wang Zhonglei followed with a smile.

"Thank you."

Wang Zhongjun took the cigar, stretched his arms and looked at the horse racing circle next to him: "I have rented this place for many years, and have invested nearly 20 million yuan in it. I come here to play when I have nothing to do."

"You must have dozens of horses!"

Turning back, he glanced at the large villa behind him and said, "It's like building a private club for myself. It's not open to the public anyway, so most of the time it's friends who come here to play."

Following the other party's gestures, Li Luo looked around.

Visual inspection.

There are at least thirty or forty acres here.

Such a large horse farm is only used for personal entertainment or to entertain friends.

He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, there is still a lot to learn about spending money!

"Wait a minute."

Li Luo cut off his cigar and suddenly thought of something: "If you don't open this place to the public, wouldn't it be like a private residence?"

“As long as you don’t mind losing money.”

Wang Zhongjun took the cigar tongs with a smile and said indifferently, "It's not much different to rent it for 70 or 80 years. The disadvantage is that the money you throw in is completely wasted, and there is basically no appreciation."

"how?"

Seeing Li Luo's eyes light up, he immediately realized: "You want to get yourself a private house?"

"Ah."

Li Luo played with the cigar in his hand deftly.

In fact, he had long wanted to move to a new place, and he and the princess had looked at several villas.

But I never found the right one.

Wang Zhongjun’s private club has provided me with a new idea.

"That does work."

Lighting up his cigar with a whirring sound, Wang Zhongjun simply responded by saying, "I occasionally stay here, and it really feels comfortable. It's almost like living in a country villa in America."

"Freedom is not just ordinary tranquility."

“It doesn’t have to be a horse farm.”

Looking at Li Luo who was particularly interested, he smiled and exhaled a cloud of smoke: "A farmhouse, a fishing ground, anything is fine. Anyway, it just needs to be called a private club and not open to the public."

"You can rent a few acres of land and do whatever you want with it."

“The only downside is that it costs money.”

Of course this thing costs money. To put it bluntly, it is just renting a piece of land to use as a business place.

If you buy a villa.

No matter what, it can be sold.

However, in a business environment like this private club model, there is basically no possibility of appreciation or preservation of value, and money can only be thrown into it.

But for people who are not short of money, it doesn't matter at all.

This thing is actually equivalent to skirting the rules and setting up a private manor for one's own entertainment.

Even if you take it out, you are not afraid of being criticized.

What's wrong with us being happy to lose money?
Thinking of this, Li Luo was completely moved.

Get yourself a piece of land of moderate size and raise a few horses on it.

Build another big house.

This thing is much more comfortable than living in a villa area!
Even if it costs tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, it is not a big deal for me. Living comfortably is the most important thing.

Although the supporting facilities are definitely not complete.

But for some people, that's not worth considering.

"Okay!"

Wang Zhongjun looked at his expression, smiled and snapped his fingers: "It seems that you really have an idea. I can help you find a place when I have time. The area around Wenyu River is quite good. It is surrounded by golf courses."

“It’s only a few kilometers from the Capital International Airport, which is very convenient for people like us who travel frequently.”

"You are not short of money anyway!"

"I wouldn't dare say that."

Li Luo waved his hands quickly, indicating that he was not worthy of the title: "Compared to you, Brother Jun, I am at best a small-time guy. I should be able to support a small horse farm of about ten acres."

"There is one."

"you say?"

Wang Zhongjun bit his cigar with a smile.

I'm just afraid of having nothing to talk about. As long as we can have something to talk about, it's always a good thing.

He needs to establish a personal relationship with the big director Xu Ke, and he cannot miss the young director in front of him. The film and television industry is extremely dependent on personal creative ability, and sometimes quantity is not the only way to win.

So as long as the person doesn't have a bad temper, everyone is willing to support a truly talented person.

There's no telling when.

You can make a good living.

"Ah."

Li Luo also bit his cigar and looked directly into Wang Zhongjun's eyes: "Brother Jun, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. If you keep beating around the bush like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat seafood, let alone dragon meat."

The matter was revealed so suddenly that the latter almost couldn't react.

stunned for a moment.

Wang Zhongjun smiled and raised his hand to the side.

Li Luo followed him to the fence and looked at the purebred horse pacing slowly inside.

"Then I'll get straight to the point."

After a moment's silence, Wang Zhongjun placed one foot on the wooden railing and said directly, "I am very optimistic about the movie "Raging Fire". A'Luo, can you give some of your shares in the movie to Huayi?"

"of course."

"I won't let you suffer any loss."

"Huayi can buy it at a premium. Just name the specific amount!"

After saying this, Li Luo blinked.

I could guess that he wanted something, but I didn't expect it to be this.

I thought Wang Zhongjun wanted to take a gamble on "Painted Skin", but I didn't expect that the other party was just trying to take advantage of the ready-made cake. Seeing that the delicious cake was about to come out of the oven, who would be willing to share a bite with others at this time?

Currently, they own 50% of the cake, Bona owns 35%, Oriental Entertainment owns 10%, and China Film owns 5%.

If I give it up again, I won’t have much money left!
And even if it is sold.

This price is also very difficult to open.

At this time, Li Luo didn't know how to respond.

Seeing that he remained silent, Wang Zhongjun slowly raised a finger and said, "I only want 10%. I believe it won't affect your share much."

“As for the price.”

Gritting his teeth, the head of Huayi gnashed his eyes and said, "I'm willing to pay 15 million!"

To outsiders, this deal is foolish, as he gets only 10% of the profit with half of the production cost. However, in Wang Zhongjun's opinion, it is a great bargain. Normally, a temporary entry at this time would have to pay a premium.

Besides, making money is a sure thing.

The premium will necessarily be higher.

It seems extremely difficult to make a profit, but as long as the overseas copyright can be sold for four or five million US dollars.

Then it’s not a loss.

Moreover, being able to operate such a successful project will definitely be a huge boost to the company's image. Even if it costs two or three million to stand on the Cannes red carpet as a producer, it will be a huge benefit to the company's listing.

"Fifteen million?"

This number made Li Luo's heart skip a beat.

As long as he agrees to the other party's request, he will make a profit of 13 million before the movie is released!

Anyone who comes here will be moved.

"Yes."

Wang Zhongjun took a deep puff of his cigar.

He looked at Li Luo with a gloomy look, not believing that this boy could bear it.

"Mr. Wang."

Li Luo flicked off the ashes, his mind racing: "Are you so optimistic about my project? Aren't you afraid that all the 10 million will go down the drain?"

"Buy and leave."

Wang Zhongjun blew out a smoke ring, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes: "I admit defeat!"

If I can make money by then.

It could not be better.

He doesn't care even if he loses millions.

The halo brought by Cannes and the confidence of investors in Huayi are incomparable to millions.

"In this case."

As Wang Zhongjun showed his delight, Li Luo said bluntly, "I can't refuse, but how about I add one more condition?"

"you say!"

Wang Zhongjun spoke in a decisive tone.

It's a good thing to have requirements, but what's scary is not having any ideas at all.

"If I'm not mistaken."

Li Luo smiled and spoke slowly, "Your company should increase capital and expand shares next, right?"

"It just so happens that I have great confidence in Huayi. How about giving me the qualification to subscribe when the time comes?"

Looking at Wang Zhongjun's stunned expression, Li Luo's eyes also glowed faintly.

Huang Baiming paid five million for ten percent!
Now the movie is on the verge of success. According to Huang Baiming's inference, if the situation is optimistic, the sales of overseas copyrights can at least sell for 5 million US dollars. In this case.

The appeal of a triple premium isn’t actually that great.

Since you want to have a bite of your own cake, then great, let me have a bite of your cake too!

If I remember correctly.

After Huayi went public, it made a lot of money!!!
Think of this.

Li Luo's heart beat violently.
