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

Chapter 519 A Moment to Enjoy Glory

August 5th.

early morning.

The sunshine was exceptionally warm.

The summer breeze blowing from the Wenyu River creates ripples in the swimming pool. With a soft splash, toes kick up glistening water droplets, shattering the sunlight that falls upon them.

The mermaid swims comfortably in the water with a standard breaststroke.

Her long legs kicked and thrashed about, causing her round, pert buttocks to ripple and create glistening waves on the water's surface.

Delicate skin.

It looked exceptionally fair under the sunlight.

With a nimble turn, the mermaid swam gracefully forward on her back.

As her arm swept backward, her slender waist swayed like a water snake, and the surging water splashed against her delicate lotus leaves, causing the pointed tips to rise and fall with the water's surface.

With her long, flowing black hair cascading down, Yang Ying in the water was as beautiful as a female demon.

Such a sight of people swimming naked.

Any man who sees this will be filled with awe and respect.

Turn over again.

Yang Ying swam slowly forward, smiling as she looked at her sisters sitting on beach chairs.

wrong
They should be described as the sisters sitting sideways on Luo Ge's lap.

The morning sunlight shone on Janice Man, making her skin glow like a precious gem. But upon closer inspection, it turned out that the glow was actually just glistening beads of sweat.

Amidst the ups and downs.

Her long hair swung wildly in mid-air.

However, many strands of hair were still pulled by beads of sweat, sticking wetly to his slightly thin back.

This scene before my eyes.

The air in the early morning is filled with the scent of hormones.

With a flushed face, Janice Man turned around and cast a pleading look at her best friend who was swimming towards her in the pool, but the next moment her eyes became completely glazed over.

Watching her bite the towel so hard.

Yang Ying's smile widened.

He immediately swam quickly to a corner of the pool, stepping onto the steps and steadily rising from the water.

Crystalline water droplets slid down her graceful body, quickly wetting the warm ground. Noticing Luo Ge's gaze, Yang Ying proudly combed her wet hair back.

As she combed her fingers together, she raised her delicate chin high.

Exuding sexiness.

It also carries a touch of dashing spirit.

"Ok."

"Anyway, just follow the agreement as agreed beforehand. When discussing the details, remember to keep a close eye on things and never try to get more preferential treatment from Tonglu. After all, they are not a private company."

"We are also more mindful of propriety and decorum in our actions, so as not to give the impression that we are insatiable."

"This is a long-term business!"

"Ah."

Li Luo withdrew his gaze from Yang Yingying's slender hand holding the thunderbolt, and then smiled at Wen Yongshan, who was almost trembling in front of him: "You should be more experienced in this area. Dealing with all kinds of people is your forte."

"Take the plunge yourself!"

"clear."

Lin Yue's voice continued to ring through the phone receiver as she quickly said, "The ratings for the new show are very impressive. Now, Chongqing TV, Southern TV, and Jiangsu TV have all contacted me."

"They all hoped to add a promotional event for their new play and said they could pay the corresponding fee."

"Ah."

"The payment is negotiable."

"The same is true on Hong Kong Island."

"What do you think?"

Promoting a new show is part of normal work, and even the programs to be filmed are clearly stated in the contract. But this situation is extra work, so it has to be discussed and negotiated.

It's only right to add some money in.

"Ah."

Li Luo thought for a moment, then smiled and straightened his back: "Let's negotiate a time. It's not fair to favor one over the other. Let them cover the round-trip travel expenses and accommodation."

"Forget about the payment; we need to consider long-term cooperation in the future."

"But we can't hold purely commercial press conferences; if we do, every penny has to be accounted for."

"What else?"

Seeing goosebumps erupting all over Janice Man's body and the towel in her mouth almost slipping from her grip, Li Luo tightened his grip on his phone: "I have to catch a flight to Changsha for a press conference later."

"it is good."

Lin Yue didn't mince words and quickly said, "Two things. The first one you know is that the Bazaar Charity Night will be held on the 22nd of this month, which is only a little over ten days away."

"Take some time to consider who to take with you. Su Mang is waiting for your reply."

As last year's top bidder.

Both morally and logically, Li Luo has to attend this year's charity gala.

Moreover, last year, the fashion group mobilized all its magazines to help promote the event, although it was mainly to promote the charity gala, but Fan Bingbing and I also benefited a lot.

You should appreciate this gesture.

It would be unreasonable for him to be absent.

"The second thing."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yue said with a headache, "Around May, Sun Yizhou auditioned for a low-budget sitcom through a friend's introduction, and he passed the audition."

"The contract was also sent to our company."

"There are no issues with the schedule; filming is expected to begin around November. However, considering the current high ratings of 'My Sunshine' and his ongoing filming of 'Chinese Paladin 3'..."

"With these two shows going on in quick succession, it's not worthwhile to take on a low-budget comedy for such a low salary at this time."

“But Sun Yizhou was unwilling.”

"He insisted on wanting to act and gain more acting experience."

"What movie?"

Li Luo stood up.

This directly targets Janice Man's core strength.

The latter's eyes trembled, and she rolled her eyes blankly. Li Luo quickly covered the loose towel and suppressed the other's long-suppressed scream.

Looking at the rapidly fluctuating thunder in front of him, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Um"

Lin Yue thought for a moment and quickly gave her answer: "It's called Love Apartment. The director isn't very famous. I think he came from an advertising background. The project seems unreliable no matter how you look at it."

"The pay is very, very low, so there's no need to waste several months of my schedule."

Two very strong phrases were used consecutively.

This proves that the pay was so low that she couldn't even bear to look at it.

Now, at least he plays the female lead's colleague and best friend in "My Sunshine," and has romantic scenes with both Liu Shishi and Jiang Shuying. In terms of screen time, he has more screen time than Ying Hui.

What's the point of going and acting in a low-budget, unknown sitcom now?

She wanted to cancel the contract before it was even signed.

"Uh"

Feeling Janice Man's fluttering heartbeats, Li Luo almost gasped, quickly shifting his attention and saying, "Let him act. It's not time to talk about pay at Yizhou yet."

"Accumulating experience is more important!"

The sitcom "iPartment" unexpectedly started to gain popularity.

But since you've come to me.

Li Luo had no reason to let Sun Yizhou miss out.

Did it plagiarize?

It was copied!

Many scenes are replicated exactly.

However, it's not just "iPartment" that's suspected of plagiarism in mainland Chinese TV dramas. The show "Meteor Shower" also borrowed a lot of plot points and character settings from the Taiwanese version of "Meteor Garden".

There are countless examples of films and television dramas that have been plagiarized like this.

It's not just domestic copying.

They don't hesitate to copy foreign works either. Li Luo remembers seeing a post that said the Korean drama "Reply 1988," which is hailed as a masterpiece, was also suspected of plagiarism.

The other party copied a Taiwanese drama.

It's just that "iPartment" was so popular that it was pushed into the spotlight.

The nail that sticks out gets hammered down!

Li Luo was too lazy to care about all that nonsense. All he knew was that Sun Yizhou's role in this TV series would bring him even more money. It would be a waste not to take advantage of such an opportunity.

Despite being embroiled in plagiarism controversies, the popularity of "iPartment" is no joke.

The entire main cast became famous.

Although everyone has reached different levels.

However, thanks to this sitcom, each of the actors still achieved a career starting point that made countless peers green with envy.

Li Luo made the final decision.

Lin Yue didn't say anything more, gave a few instructions, and then hung up the phone.

Release the phone.

It crashed onto the fruit plate with a thud.

The sound of footsteps rang out, and Yang Ying walked over with light steps. As Lei Zi trembled slightly, drops of water kept sliding down her delicate skin, making it impossible to look away.

He glanced at Janice Man, who was trembling.

With a slight tremor in her heart, she plucked a Guiwei lychee from among the branches and leaves of the fruit plate, then pressed down hard on the slightly prickly shell.

After a soft click.

The juice burst out.

Biting into half of the snow-white fruit, Yang Ying leaned down, holding onto the recliner. As Li Luo happily chewed on the crisp and tender flesh, the faint fragrance of osmanthus and the sweet juice immediately filled their mouths.

Since its premiere on the 2nd, "My Sunshine" has been airing.

He has spent most of the last two days at the horse farm in the East Suburb Forest Park, accompanying the two girls on horseback riding, fishing, swimming, and other fun activities.

Drink beer, spirits, and liquor as much as you want.

Cuban cigars are quite strong.

They indulged in abalone, lobster, donkey meat, and high-end steaks in a chaotic and unrestrained manner, while also doing things with Yang and Wen that everyone enjoyed, living a rather ordinary life.

But all of this carries a sense of helplessness.

That afternoon, the 3rd.

Upon learning about the ratings of his new drama, Li Luo excitedly returned to the company to handle some matters, but was so frightened by the dozens of fans gathered outside the company that he sped away.

As for yesterday.

Zhao Xuejing called, extremely excited.

Not only fans, but also many reporters were staking out the area around the Red Mansion, keeping a watchful eye on it.

Because a press conference was once held at the Red Mansion, and there's such a large sign hanging on the building, the location of Xinghuo Films is hardly a secret.

The higher the TV ratings.

More and more fans gathered around. Unable to wait for Li Luo, the fans took photos with their backs to the Red Mansion.

Have a great time.

This left Li Luo both amused and exasperated. After instructing Zhao Xuejing to buy some bottled water to distribute to fans and reporters, he settled into his villa, where he would likely remain hidden for a considerable period of time.

Fortunately, I keep canaries at home.

I'm not afraid of being bored.

Seeing Li Luo's satisfied expression, Yang Ying finally released her delicate lips and spat the tiny fruit pit into the trash can.

"Baby"

Janice Man raised her arm and murmured weakly, "Help, help, I can't stand up~"

Such a reaction.

Yang Ying swallowed the lychee juice with difficulty.

Janice Man's dreamy expression at this moment perfectly illustrates the complex feeling of wanting something you can't have, but being afraid of getting too much of it, and being unable to stop at the same time.

He quickly stepped forward.

She helped the other person pull it out.

The moment the latter's feet touched the ground, he collapsed onto the edge of the pool.

The girl waved her hand dismissively, then gasped for breath and lay down, refusing to move. Li Luo's sudden strike had truly struck right to the heart.

As a result, my body still experiences some twitching.

His face was filled with lingering satisfaction.

See this situation.

Yang Ying pursed her lips and looked at Luo Ge, who was lying on the beach chair with a smile. The sunlight made the golden mace look even more ferocious, but she still gritted her teeth and pounced on him.

People who find it irresistible.

And there's more than one.
As a gasp rang out, Yang Ying giggled as Li Luo flipped her over.

The sun gradually rose higher.

The dazzling light spilled onto the shimmering pool, onto the panting girl lying beside her, and onto the creaking beach chair.

The engine roared.

The plane arrived in Changsha in the blink of an eye.

Footsteps hurried and chaotic as the group quickly moved through the airport.

The fact that there were people in line seven and eight was not unusual. What was unusual was that the guys in the middle were all wearing masks in the sweltering heat, which inevitably aroused a lot of curiosity.

They noticed something was wrong.

Li Luo quickly gestured backward.

Everyone here is from the same company, and the boss's intentions are understood very well. Huang Shengyi, who was walking behind, along with his two assistants, quickly slowed down.

As the group dispersed, they suddenly became less conspicuous.

"Ok?"

Noticing Jiang Shuying scratching her mask and looking around, Li Luo snorted in inquiry.

"It's okay."

Jiang Shuying tugged at her mask uncomfortably and whispered, "It's just not quite what I imagined."

What happened yesterday is still fresh in my mind.

An excited gaze.

An excited group photo.

Those eyes were filled with envy and admiration.

Although the start of filming for the TV series was a grand affair, with reporters constantly taking photos with their phones, this feeling was completely different. Even now, thinking back on it makes my mouth dry with excitement.

"Uh"

Li Luo realized something and smiled as he stepped forward: "Are you wondering why there weren't any fans at the airport? There were hundreds of people everywhere, and screams echoed everywhere you went!"

"hey-hey."

Jiang Shuying chuckled foolishly.

"It depends."

Li Luo understood her feelings perfectly, having gone through that phase himself. He immediately shook his head and said, "It's mainly because I find it troublesome right now. There are some things you wouldn't understand even if I explained them to you."

"Just remember this: public figures are sometimes very afraid of public events."

"Especially in public places."

Turning his head to look at Jiang Shuying, Li Luo said calmly, "Whoever gets arrogant will die, whoever is domineering will be finished. Do you still remember that Super Girl from Hunan Broadcasting Center last year?"

A sudden jolt ran through me.

Jiang Shuying hurriedly nodded to indicate that she understood.

Although she still didn't understand what the connection was with fans picking her up at the airport.

Last year's incident caused a huge uproar. A former Super Girl contestant participated in a guest performance on "Happy Boys," but the contestant did not carry the relevant identification when entering and leaving the gate.

Because of the special nature of the television broadcasting center, the officer in charge of duty, wearing a hat, prohibited him from entering.

Amidst their arrogance and domineering behavior, rumors have surfaced that they are acting like watchdogs.

This led to a conflict between the two sides.

Jiang Shuying still remembers the arrogant look on that Super Girl contestant's face as she pointed at the man in the hat.

"never mind."

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Li Luo smiled and shook his head: "Arranging for fans to pick you up at the airport has its advantages. It looks very glamorous, and you can easily create the impression of being popular by having reporters publish a few press releases."

"But this kind of thing is usually something that newcomers like to do."

"Unless the itinerary is unexpectedly exposed."

Walking steadily forward, Li Luo looked around at the chaotic crowd: "Otherwise, big shots would avoid it if they could, run away if they could, and just complete their announcements steadily. For them, there is no need to use this kind of thing to prove their popularity."

"In order to make a splash, hundreds of fans flooded into the airport, running around and screaming in all sorts of ways."

"Won't this disturb other people?"

"If we follow this path, won't it easily lead to conflict?"

"In the event of a conflict, should we speak up for the disturbed bystanders, support the fans, or simply stand by and do nothing? Which approach do you think is more appropriate?"

"Um"

Jiang Shuying frowned and thought for a moment before hesitatingly replying, "None of these seem appropriate. No matter what I do, it will affect my public image."

"clever."

Li Luo smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

She gave him a sweet smile.

Jiang Shuying looked around with some regret. Although she understood the reasoning, she was not a big star yet, so how could she not look forward to the scene of fans going crazy for her?

Although...
They knew it wasn't aimed at them.

But it's exciting to bask in the glory, especially after what happened yesterday.

Ok.

This girl was also somewhat unable to resist.

Amidst the flurry of footsteps, they quickly found the minibus arranged by Hunan TV to pick them up, and a senior executive from Hunan TV was specially dispatched to greet them.

Since the request was made on short notice, Xinghuo Films readily agreed.

It would be embarrassing not to show some respect.

Li Luo hurriedly stepped forward.

After shaking hands warmly with the other party, he strode onto the minibus.

"Brother Luo!"

"Brother Luo!!"

"Brother Luo!!!"

As he appeared, shouts erupted from inside the car, each one louder than the last.

Liu Shishi, Sun Yizhou, Yuan Hong, and their assistants.

They stood up excitedly one after another.

"Mr. Li."

Of course, we can't forget Cai Yinong, the CEO of Sugar Man. This well-known beauty in the industry was beaming with pride and took the initiative to step forward and hold Li Luo's hand tightly: "Congratulations on the great success of your new film."

"I came along with Yuan Hong and the others to join in the fun. Mr. Li won't mind, will he?"

As she spoke, she kept shaking her arm.

He couldn't stop smiling.

How can I not laugh!

Three million, a free performance plus two supporting roles—it sounds like a lot of money was spent, but in return, it brought intense exposure in front of tens of millions of viewers. No matter how you look at it now, this deal seems worthwhile.

Cai Yinong's eyes are practically squinting from smiling.

"President Cai."

Taking off his mask, Li Luo turned to look at the Mango executives: "Whether you welcome me or not, whether you mind or not, is not up to me. Just don't ask me to reimburse you for the airfare. Even though I'm a lawyer..."

"I'm out of food!"

"Hahaha!"

A thunderous burst of laughter erupted instantly inside the minibus.

High five, handshake.

embrace.

Amidst bursts of laughter and cheers, the minibus sped towards the event venue, even if it required taking time out of the rush and enduring long journeys.

Yet, there was no trace of fatigue on anyone's face.

To them.

Now is the time to enjoy the glory.

The chatter started the moment the engine started, with everyone excitedly asking each other about their recent situations, talking about funny things that happened while filming, and bursting into laughter from time to time.

However, as the vehicle speed slows down.

The commotion quickly subsided.

"My God!"

Jiang Shuying's face was almost pressed against the window, her eyes filled with horror.

"I rely on!!!"

Yuan Hong couldn't help but swear.

"hiss!"

Liu Shishi's pretty face turned bright red.

The people in the car sensed something was wrong and quickly got up to look in the direction they were sitting. Their eyes widened and their jaws dropped.

A long dragon.

Long lines of people were lined up.

crowd.

A restless crowd holding up various posters.

fan.

There were so many fans, it was impossible to see the end of them!
