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

Chapter 385: A Condition That Cannot Be Rejected

After Lin Yue coughed.

The newly-appointed female secretary who was bowing straightened up hastily, and her fair face turned red.

Reorganize the new company.

Naturally, rewards should be given according to merit.

During the initial stage of the studio, those old employees who should be promoted were promoted and those who should be reused were reused. Thinking of Zhao Xuejing who brought him "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Li Luo asked Lin Yue to talk to her.

Anyway, you can go to any department to train.

When the latter was approached by Manager Lin, he was so excited that he chose the position of administrative assistant without a second thought.

Although Li Luo spent most of his time running around outside throughout the year.

But the secretary who deserves it.

It also needs to be matched.

For Zhao Xuejing, this is also a reception job.

It's easy to do.

If you become an administrative assistant to a big boss, your position will be even more superior.

Also, because Li Luo often works outside, for a person like her who is good at slacking off, this is simply a dream job. She is probably idle for half a year out of a year.

Of course, the little girl has some other little ideas.

Being Luo Ge's secretary, it is natural for me to be closer to Luo Ge.

Think of this.

The girl's face became even redder.

He looked at the boss in front of him with a silly smile, who looked a little embarrassed.

"Hahaha."

Unexpectedly, he had just returned to the company and was teasing a girl when Manager Lin and Zhang Guoli saw him. Li Luo laughed tactically to ease the embarrassment, and then walked quickly towards the two people:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Guoli. I should have come earlier."

Of course I wasn't late.

But if the guests arrive first, we should always express our apologies.

"it's okay no problem."

Zhang Guoli smiled and held his hand: "I can't sleep at my age anyway, so I'll come over for a stroll when I wake up. It just so happens that I didn't have the chance to visit your company properly last time I came."

"Come often in the future. Teacher Guoli is always welcome."

Li Luo laughed and then welcomed the other party to his office.

Back in two days.

It’s my first time in the company.

This was also the reason why they met formally for the first time because of the female secretary who had been arranged for him early on.

I have been very busy these past two days. First, I had a good sleep, then confirmed the details of the premiere press conference with Yu Dong, and after the press conference, I had to entertain various guests.

I drank with Jay Chou, Timmy Hung, Charmaine Sheh and others at the Gongti Bar until the morning of the 19th.

Only then was the social engagement settled.

After a good sleep, he made the final revisions to the script of "The Silent Queen". Yesterday's premiere day passed quietly, and he didn't have much time to think about things that others were in a hurry about.

What we need to do now is to take multiple approaches at the same time.

It's not just Huang Shengyi who needs a popular drama, he also needs a TV series to maintain his popularity among the people.

I don’t have any TV series waiting to be broadcast now.

This is not okay.

We can't give up our old business.

Li Luo doesn't have any mental mysophobia and thinks that he can't act on TV after acting in movies. In fact, there are many people who have this idea, and the general reason they give is that they are worried about being exposed too much.

Affects the effect on the screen.

Just kidding, there are times when actors are afraid of being too exposed!
It would be fine if it was just frequent appearances on variety shows, but getting too close to the audience, or showing a fixed personality, will indeed make the audience feel like they are out of drama when watching film or television works.

But TV dramas are not included in this list.

In Li Luo's opinion, those actors are more worried about getting some bad roles which would lower their standards, or they have never acted in TV dramas and are afraid of not being able to adapt to the local environment.

After all, it is extremely difficult to move up in this circle, but it is very easy to fall down.

Get one or two bad dramas.

The status or commercial value can easily plummet.

But fortunately, I don’t have this worry.

He started out his career with TV dramas, so he doesn't have to worry about not adapting to the local environment. "Fall in Love with You" is a phenomenal urban romance drama, which will only increase his popularity.

At Li Luo's greeting.

The three of them came to the black sofa area and sat down.

Zhao Xuejing, who followed in, half squatted down, stroking her hip skirt, took out the fine tea that she had prepared in advance and started to brew it.

Hand movements.

It can be said to be in good order.

To put it simply, an administrative assistant does some service-oriented work, and making tea and serving water are part of his job scope. In order to do this job well, Zhao Xuejing also looked up a lot of information on the Internet.

When you have nothing to do, practice secretly by yourself and try not to make mistakes in public.

Even slacking off is a pursuit.

But Zhao Xuejing still has her professional qualities and at least does her job well.

The female secretary, who is dressed very smartly and beautifully, is squatting beside the table and making tea smoothly. The picture looks extremely pleasing to the eye.

Stared at it for two seconds.

Only then did Li Luo smile and take his gaze away from the girl's waistline.

"Sister Yue."

Patting the file bag in his hand, he casually handed it aside: "The script has been written, and there are no problems after discussing it with Gu Man. Let someone take it for filing and public notice, and apply for production permission!"

"There's nothing to do here. I can just chat with Uncle Zhang."

"it is good."

Under the gaze of Zhang Guoli's suddenly shining eyes, Lin Yue took the file bag from Li Luo's hand, apologized, and got up to leave.

It doesn't take a while.

At Li Luo's wave, the female secretary also carefully closed the door.

"Uncle Zhang, please give me tea."

Li Luo picked up the cup with a smile.

The action just now was done intentionally, to help Zhang Guoli find an excuse for the subsequent questioning.

"please!"

Zhang Guoli suppressed his curiosity and picked up the cup as well.

"In a few days."

After taking a sip of Tieguanyin, Li Luo opened the cigar box beside him and said, "Well, it's the opening ceremony of Crazy Racer. Is Uncle Zhang ready to give the actors the red envelopes?"

"Snapped!"

Patting his pocket heavily, Zhang Guoli showed with his actions that he was financially strong.

"Hahaha."

With another smile, Li Luo handed the other party a cigar: "Actually, the main reason I asked Uncle Zhang to come here is to chat with you. After all, you are a veteran in the industry, and I want to learn about TV drama production."

"I hope Uncle Zhang will give me some advice."

The TV series was filmed over several years, but I mainly worked as an actor.

The ways of film production.

To be honest, it's still a little unclear.

If you don't understand, you don't understand. There is no need to act like a big shot, so he decisively contacted Zhang Guoli, with whom he would cooperate next, to ask for advice from the other party and to bring the other party on board.

When it comes to television, it’s not easy to have it all to yourself.

I guess it's more about human relationships.

Zhang Guoli is not just an actor. He established his own film and television company a long time ago and invested in the filming of a series of classic works such as "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" and "The Secret History of Kangxi".

The industry status must be good.

In terms of personal connections.

It should also be deep enough.

With such a person by your side who can give you careful advice, you can quickly find out some relevant information about the industry, and it won't be a big deal even if the other party gets involved.

Experience and connections are sometimes more valuable than money.

"TV series, production?"

Zhang Guoli paused with his hand holding the cigar, and looked at the guy sitting opposite him with some surprise.

I suddenly started to have doubts in my heart.

Could it be that the script he just mentioned for filing is a TV series? Thinking of this, he cut off his cigar with a snap. If it is said that people in the industry are looking forward to Li Luo's action movie.

Then there is no doubt about Li Luo's TV series.

No matter what the content is.

Everyone tries their best to get into the other party's game.

Li Luo's appeal in the field of TV dramas is much stronger than that in movies. Ever since he took on the leading role in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", every TV drama he has starred in has been a sure win, and his works have been popular all over the country frequently.

Works with less influence, such as "The Miracle Doctor and His Lovers" and "I Love You, Goodbye", also made the producers earn a lot of money.

Such as "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties", "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and "New Shanghai Bund".

He even counted money until his hands were tired.

These high-quality dramas are like a shining golden signboard. As long as Li Luo is confirmed to be in the main creative lineup, the producers can just wait to collect the money!
Whether it is a TV station or many advertisers.

To the two words Li Luo.

There is extremely high trust.

This trust, in other words, is hard-earned money.

Zhang Guoli believed that as long as Li Luo spread the word to the outside world that he wanted to take on TV drama scripts, all major film and television production companies would allow him to pick and choose scripts.

The pay and treatment are definitely top-notch.

He even has a great say in the cast of the show.

There's nothing you can do about this thing.

Who can help the boss make money? Who wouldn’t like to see the cash in hand?

The successive broadcasts of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and "The Bund" have firmly secured his place as the top young actor. Now on all major TV stations, Xu Wenqiang is still the most popular actor.

Thinking of this, Zhang Guoli pressed the lighter hard again.

This guy.

It was only the second day after the movie was released.

He actually wanted to do something big out of the blue. He really has a big heart!
"Yes."

Li Luo didn't care what he was thinking, and the blazing flame whirred at the cigar: "After all, TV series are also within the business scope of Xinghuo Films, and that's my main business."

"It seems unreasonable not to try."

Puffs of smoke continued to come out as he spoke, until they enveloped his handsome face.

That unique scent.

It also quickly spread throughout the room.

"Ah."

Zhang Guoli also lit a cigar and said thoughtfully: "It's actually similar to making a movie. There are some corresponding processes, such as project establishment, crew recruitment, actors gathering, and finally production."

“There are some differences.”

"Unlike movies, TV series are not directly aimed at the audience."

"Its income mainly comes from two sources: copyright purchases from TV stations and placements from advertisers. However, the latter is mainly for some genre dramas with modern backgrounds. Forget ancient dramas!"

"Here, it is crucial to attract the interest of the TV station."

"Speaking of this." Crossing his legs, Zhang Guoli nodded slowly, "In fact, we are back to the stage of TV drama production. The threshold for this thing is actually not high. It seems that anyone with money can come and shoot a film."

"But you know the outcome."

Smiling and nodding, Li Luo picked up the cup and took a sip of the tea.

If it were really that easy to make money in this market, there wouldn’t be people losing so much money every year!
Every industry.

Everyone has his own way.

Either you lose money paying tuition, or you become a disciple and get introduced to the door.

Only when you become a true insider can you avoid one huge pitfall after another.

"You're not an amateur either."

Zhang Guoli flicked the ashes and said with a smile: "There are some tricks that others dare not use on you. You just need to make the play well. First of all, we need a good script, after all, it is the foundation of a play~"

"The good here must not be what you think is good!"

"Only if the market and TV stations think it's good can it be considered a good script. Otherwise, if no one watches or buys it, then all your money will be wasted!"

"But then again."

"How do the market and TV station purchasing departments judge whether your script is good or not?"

"Ah."

Scratching his hair, he couldn't help laughing: "One is a good relationship, a good relationship is really good, and the other is a good cast, this is second-rate good, do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand."

Li Luo also nodded with a strange expression on his face.

There has been an endless stream of news about corruption in the purchasing departments of major TV stations. Buying ratings, asking for kickbacks, etc. are all obvious matters, and everyone from top to bottom has to have a hand in the middle.

It's an open secret in the industry.

"but."

Zhang Guoli bit down on his cigar again and exhaled a heavy puff of smoke: "Things like that involving connections are mainly aimed at mid- and low-end dramas. Top dramas attract a lot of attention, and the rush to buy them among TV stations is also fierce."

“Instead, that didn’t happen.”

"Sometimes, this second-rate good can become the first-rate good!"

Speaking of it.

Li Luo also agreed with this.

Of course, those shady means are used on dramas with average attention. Who would take the risk of causing trouble on a top drama that leaders pay close attention to, and not be afraid of being blamed?
In short, when the work becomes popular to a certain extent.

When you have the ability to create a seller's market and make major TV stations compete to bid for it.

some things.

Will remain in a transcendent position!

As smoke rose, Zhang Guoli broke down some of the industry's unspoken rules and explained them to Li Luo.

Some words are not relevant enough and no one will easily reveal them.

These are all experiences gained through trial and error.

If he didn't admire him very much, if they weren't partners, if he wasn't very interested in the mysterious project, Zhang Guoli wouldn't have done this.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang."

When the other party stopped talking, Li Luo offered him tea with great gratitude.

"Don't say those words."

Waving his hand, Zhang Guoli sipped a cup of tea to quench his thirst: "In fact, even if I don't say it, you can slowly understand it, but knowing what is going on is another matter to deal with it."

"The TV drama industry is more dependent on human relationships and social skills."

"Ah."

Nodding again, Li Luo raised his eyebrows and said, "By the way, Uncle Zhang, aren't you curious about the script I just wrote?"

"Oh?"

Zhang Guoli sat up straight and said with a playful smile: "Is our President Li going to pour out the medicine in the gourd? It seems that my previous call was not in vain!"

In the huge office.

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter from both of them.

The noise was faintly heard outside the door, causing Zhao Xuejing to look at the closed door in confusion.

"I won't beat around the bush with you."

Li Luo picked up the purple clay teapot and slowly poured tea for Zhang Guoli: "This is the second thing I asked Uncle Zhang to come over for today. The one just now was the adapted script of a very popular novel on the Internet."

"Urban pure love idol drama."

"I also wrote, directed and acted in the film myself, and the leading actress is Huang Shengyi."

Hear this.

Zhang Guoli's hand holding the cigar trembled slightly.

Urban dramas mean advertising placement, and the lineup of Li Luo and Huang Shengyi is definitely an object of competition among major TV stations. As long as the quality of the TV series is slightly controlled, it will be another potential hit.

"I expect to spend 30 million."

Li Luo smiled and looked at Zhang Guoli with a sharp gaze: "Anyway, we have to shoot it well and make it excellent."

"I feel a little overwhelmed by myself."

"Uncle Zhang, are you interested in coming over and helping me set up one?"

The words fell.

He extended his broad palm forward.

"Crack~"

Zhang Guoli's hand came up like lightning, and he smiled like Ni Tuo Buddha: "Thank you, Luo, I know you want to help Uncle Zhang make money. I'll pay 15 million, and you give Uncle Zhang 30%, how about that?"

It's not like he's ungrateful. How could the other party be unable to handle the situation alone?

The money earned from just one movie, "Raging Fire", is enough to support the independent filming of this TV series!

And in the name of the other party.

There is no need to worry about not being able to sell the photos.

This is just like "Crazy Racing", you can make money by yourself.

He was too lazy to read the script, and there was no need to evaluate the project. He just wanted to find a way to get in first. In his opinion, half of the investment ratio in exchange for 30% of the profit was the most appropriate.

The younger generation is so capable of handling things, you shouldn't take advantage of them.

If you should pay more, then you have to pay more.

"Don't say no."

Seeing that Li Luo was about to refuse, Zhang Guoli immediately glared and said, "Either take the money, or I will get up and leave immediately!"

"Okay~"

Li Luo laughed in silence and continued to hold the other person's hand tightly: "Then I won't be polite, but I have to say something in advance. There are some things that require your company to provide certain assistance."

"And it can only be assistance."

When he got here, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said in an extremely serious tone: "All power in the crew must be in my hands, and you cannot interfere in any way at the creative level."

"make a deal!"

Zhang Guoli thought about it and nodded heavily.

To be honest, it is a bit outrageous to ask for such a large investment proportion but no say.

But he had no opinion.

I invested this money because of the other party’s golden signboard.

Then you want to snatch the right to speak from the other party.

Isn't that a brain disease?

Li Luo's request was completely within his expectations. For such a young man who is so popular, a strong sense of self-conceit is sometimes one of the reasons for his success, and he should not be so aggressive.

The other party, on the other hand, cannot do this.

The two of them clasped their hands together, and more hearty laughter rang out in the office.

Zhang Guoli wanted to talk in detail.

But obviously time did not give him this opportunity.

There was a knock on the office door soon, and the main creators of "Raging Fire" rushed to the office one after another, instantly making the place bustling. Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei and others also arrived one after another with champagne.

Everyone gathered together, looking forward to the moment when the first day's box office results were released.

But with the next person appearing.

Li Luo couldn't help but stand up, smiling and stretching out his arms: "Why did you come here? Shouldn't you be at the headquarters at this time?"

Ignoring his palm, Yu Dong gave him a hug.

Only then did he put down the champagne in his hand.

"Can't sit still."

After tugging at his tie, the guy threw his phone onto the coffee table. "I've already explained everything I need to explain. I'm waiting for a call anyway, so I might as well come and stay with everyone!"

Except for Han Sanping and Huang Baiming, almost all the main creative staff of "Raging Fire" sat together.

The former account for too small a proportion and their identities are somewhat special.

It's not appropriate to come here.

As the main controller of "Flash Point", if Huang Baiming goes to Xinghuo Film and Television to join in the fun at this time, then the people under him can just quit!

Cigars were lit and playing cards were distributed one after another.

golf.

It was also beaten with a bang.

Although everyone was busy doing various things, their eyes always fell uncontrollably on the mobile phone on the coffee table. Even Zhang Guoli, an outsider, was infected by this emotion and was so nervous that he kept drinking tea.

There is really nothing we can do, the success or failure of a movie has such a huge impact!
Last year's "Call 601" was a box office failure.

Not only was he himself greatly affected, even Zhou Bichang, Hu Ge and other people who were in charge of the box office, would take two or three years to recover from the impact. In the short term, no investor would dare to place a bet.

Seemingly not caring.

But as the pointer continued to jump, Li Luo's heartbeat also accelerated.

The teacup was raised frequently and smoke kept coming out.

His eyes were fixed on the mobile phone that Yu Dong had thrown on the coffee table, that exquisitely designed Nokia that was completely silent.

"Ring~~~~~~~~~"

Just then, the phone vibrated violently.

Eyelashes tremble.

The office, which had been bustling just a moment ago, was now deathly silent.

Hong Tianming's hand that was dealing cards was suspended in mid-air, and Wang Zhonglei's golf club that was halfway drawn stopped abruptly. Charmaine Sheh's eyes quickly looked over, but Yu Dong's agility was faster than that.

Li Luo swore to heaven.

I've never seen this chubby guy move so fast!

"Hey!"

"Uh-huh."

"Say it again."

"Are you sure? Are you sure it's this number?"

"it is good!"

Yu Dong's hoarse voice echoed in the office. After a few words, he hung up the phone. At this moment, pairs of eyes pierced into him like arrows, as if they could even produce sparks.

"Gudu."

The sound of Yu Dong swallowing his saliva was clearly audible.

Grasping the largest bottle of champagne firmly, he had an unparalleled smile on his face: "Twelve million!!!"

The words fell.

Champagne flew high.

It rolled and spun and was thrown towards Li Luo.

The light shone on the exquisite bottle, and the translucent bottle body continuously reflected the excited, joyful and screaming faces in the office!
