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

Chapter 523 Our Company

"Come on, let's all take a group photo together."

"Three, two, one."

"eggplant!"

As the lights flashed, the smiles of Li Luo, Yao Ming, and others were captured by the camera.

After the group photo, it was time for individual photos to commemorate the occasion.

At such times.

He welcomes anyone who comes his way.

Li Luo, who had just finished running the torch relay, greeted one photo after another with a bright smile. Of course, quite a few people wanted to exchange phone numbers, but he politely declined.

It's fate that we can pass the torch together.

But this connection wasn't enough to sustain a deeper relationship.

Unless everyone's social status is similar and they are compatible in temperament.

"I need to rush back to train with my teammates."

Looking at the time on his watch, Yao Ming cheerfully held out his palm and said, "I won't have lunch with you. I'll have my assistant deliver the tickets to you later. See you on match day. I'll try to get you a spot at the water cooler."

I've always enjoyed watching action movies.

Li Luo's martial arts skills in the movie were a real treat for Yao Ming. His personality, abilities, and even his attitude of treating himself like an ordinary person were all very much to Yao Ming's liking.

Therefore, he doesn't mind making such a friend.

"Thanks."

Li Luo gripped his hand tightly, smiled, and nodded, saying, "Prepare well and strive to crush the American men's basketball team, crush Kobe!"

"Uh"

Yao Ming almost lost his composure; he wouldn't have dared to say such a thing out loud.

"correct."

Thinking of something, he asked curiously, "Which NBA player do you like the most? Of course, besides me."

"Kobe!"

Li Luo shook off his hand.

"what?"

Yao Ming was momentarily bewildered. Why would someone he liked let him beat Kobe so badly? He then grinned, his face contorted with embarrassment, and exclaimed, "Okay, okay, I'm going to beat Kobe to a pulp!"

The two bumped fists and parted ways.

The large man left surrounded by his assistants and staff.

That being said, Yao Ming is under immense pressure. This year's Dream Team has welcomed its undisputed core player, with that Viper in charge, and none of the arrogant and fierce players dare not slack off.

The combined strength of this dream team is not to be underestimated.

No matter how much pressure there is.

The men's basketball team is not lacking in the courage to launch an attack.

Compared to the 11 weaklings, at least they dared to go all out and show their own style. Whether they win or not is one thing, but whether they dare to show their strength is another!

As Yao Ming quickly left, Li Luo also politely bid farewell to the torchbearers.

The relay has ended.

That concludes the matter.

Next, everyone went back to their own homes and to their own mothers.

Just thinking about the fans gathered outside the company gave Li Luo a headache. With the continuous airing of "My Sunshine", his company had become a popular spot for fans to visit.

Anyone who dares to show their face.

You have to completely block yourself off.

It's not like we haven't had a TV series become wildly popular before. Shows like "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber," "The Return of the Condor Heroes," and "Shanghai Bund" all enjoyed immense popularity when they aired.

During the filming of "New Shanghai Bund," his character Yang Guo was mobbed by fans on set.

This affected the filming at the time.

Li Luo estimated that the premiere of "My Sunshine" would be around the same time, but he still underestimated the influence of modern idol dramas.

Now look what's happened.

There's simply no way for me to go back to work normally.

After nodding goodbye to the torchbearers, Li Luo returned to his parking spot under the escort of staff. However, he hadn't gone far when he noticed the expectant stares from those around him.

"Brother Luo, are you tired?"

"You must be tired!"

"How about we help you carry it for a bit?"

"Just for a little while."

Zhao Xuejing and Liu Wan smiled sweetly at each other, and in no time at all, they revealed their true colors.

"Don't bump into anything!"

With a chuckle, Li Luo handed over the extinguished torch.

"yeah!!!"

Zhao Xuejing almost jumped up in excitement, then carefully took the torch with her tongue sticking out.

The girl was grinning like an idiot.

He quickly gestured to show Li Luo jogging with the torch in his hand, then gestured for Liu Wan to take a picture of him. Unlike souvenirs bought outside, the Olympic flame had actually been on it.

The two assistants took photos back and forth to commemorate the occasion.

Have a great time.

Amidst the excited shouts of fans passing by, Li Luo smiled and waved to everyone.

But he quickly quickened his pace.

"Brother Luo!"

As soon as I returned to the parking lot, I was greeted by a low exclamation. The window of the car next to me rolled down, revealing a pair of smiling eyes: "Looks like my memory is still working. This really is your company's vehicle."

"Ok?"

Looking at the other person in surprise, Li Luosong opened the door handle.

Even though she was wearing a mask.

But he still recognized Zhang Liangyin at a glance.

The latter smiled, his eyes crinkling like the moon. He quickly glanced at Li Luo's assistant and lightly tapped the steering wheel with his fingers.

Li Luo understood instantly.

He waved to signal Zhao Xuejing and the other person to get into the car.

He quickly pulled open the back seat of the car and climbed in, then took the mask Zhang Liangyin handed him and put it on. It was obvious that she had already sent her assistant away and wanted to chat privately.

"Sorry to bother you, Brother Luo."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Liangyin looked in the rearview mirror and said, "I have carefully considered what you said before, and I think what Brother Luo said makes a lot of sense."

"I can't stay in a comfortable environment forever."

"Some difficulties are inevitable, and no matter how many stumbles and setbacks you experience, they are all rewards of life."

"I made a decision!"

"Wait until my agency contract with Huayi expires."

With an unwavering gaze, Zhang Liangyin's hands gripping the steering wheel bulged with veins: "I will establish my own music company and personally build a world of my own!"

Li Luo smiled and gave the other person a thumbs up.

If Zhang Liangyin were to act coy or hesitant, he wouldn't bother trying to persuade her anymore, since it had nothing to do with him.

The most valuable quality in a person is self-help.

If you're not willing to work hard for yourself, then saying anything more is a waste of breath.

Now that Zhang Liangyin has finished her performance, she chose to return to the parking lot to wait for him to appear. Li Luo greatly appreciates her initiative and attitude, and feels comfortable helping her within his capabilities.

"I've thought about it."

With a sigh of relief, Zhang Liangyin said with great enthusiasm, "I'll start looking for candidates during this time, and then get the company up and running as quickly as possible."

"I'm quite comfortable with this assistant now. I'll ask her in a while if she'd like to work with me."

"You also need to hire image consultants and public relations personnel, right?"

"Finance, logistics!"

"Sigh, I still don't understand anything."

"But it's okay, I still have a few months to study it. Actually, I have a general understanding of the whole process, but I haven't paid much attention to it usually. If necessary, I can just poach people."

"I'm taking on commercial performances while also working on the new album, trying to keep the company running smoothly."

"Yes, I know a really good music production teacher."

"We'll ask him to come and help with the production then."

"Sales will definitely be good!"

Having aspirations gives people the impression of being spirited and energetic.

Zhang Liangyin, who was envisioning the future, looked radiant, with even her eyes sparkling.

"Luo Ge."

Turning back excitedly, Zhang Liangyin's eyes sparkled: "I've roughly estimated the funding. Just give me eight million. That should be more than enough for our company's initial operations."

"We don't compare ourselves with those big companies in the industry."

"In the initial stage, I will focus on making my career work. As for things like signing contracts and training new talents, I will put them aside for the time being."

"no problem."

Li Luo nodded slowly, agreeing with the other party's thinking: "Your idea is correct. In the initial stage, the worst thing is to try to do everything. Being able to maintain your current momentum and develop steadily is a success."

"wrong!!!"

He stared wide-eyed at Zhang Liangyin, asking in astonishment, "What do you mean by 'pay back'? You're not planning to return it? No, wait, how did it become our company?"

"Ang~"

Zhang Liangyin smiled, raising her willow-leaf eyebrows, and said matter-of-factly, "I won't pay you back, I'll just take it and use it!"

"you."

Li Luo was at a loss for words.

"It has to be our company."

Seeing his expression, Zhang Liangyin smiled even more smugly: "Anyway, I'm not willing to lend money. At the moment, I'm only accepting investors as my only option. Of course, if you're afraid of losing money, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

"As for the shares, I want to take the majority, only giving Luo Ge 40% of the shares."

"You can't complain about it being too little."

"Ah."

"Let's stick to this plan for now."

Li Luo was both amused and exasperated. This wasn't a matter of complaining about the amount; it was clearly an indefinite management contract with a profit-sharing ratio as high as 40%.

That's not right.

I still have to work on my agency contract!
All I had to do was invest eight million, and then sit back and wait for the dividends.

If Zhang Liangyin offered these terms elsewhere, countless people would be vying to take the loss, since she's a well-known singer whose market value has been proven, and they could make money right away.

If I remember correctly, this year's Forbes Celebrity List was released.

Zhang Liangyin was on the list.

According to Forbes, the "Dolphin Princess" earned a total of 13.5 million last year through seven solo concerts, over a hundred commercial performances, a best-selling new album, and various commercial endorsements.

As for why I remember.

the reason is simple.

Li Luo had been plagued by this "pig slaughter list" for months.

Forbes unceremoniously ranked him fourth in influence and third in annual income on the list of Chinese celebrities, surpassing Liu Feiren's 163.2 million, in terms of both influence and income.

They are all second only to the kung fu emperor Jet Li.

Such terrifying income immediately caused an uproar from all walks of life.

Other celebrities are terrified of appearing on this list, some fearing being targeted by tax authorities, others fearing becoming targets of criminals.

Li Luo wasn't afraid of either, but he was still overwhelmed by the flood of interview calls.

His response was also very simple.

Two very concise words.

boring!

Based on his own circumstances, it can be inferred that Zhang Liangyin actually earned more guns than this number, and that this number will continue to increase in the future.

Making hundreds of millions back wouldn't be difficult at all.

This is cheap.

That's quite a large area!

"We can't have too much." Seeing Li Luo remain silent, Zhang Liang said anxiously, "Without the funds you provided, none of this would be possible. Brother Luo, you're also risking losing money."

"If I lose, I can just switch to another company, but the money you invest will be a real loss!"

"Luo Ge."

"How about you listen to me?"

Zhang Liangyin took a deep breath and stretched out her palm with sparkling eyes.

Start-up capital is certainly very important; you can't do anything without money. But Zhang Liangyin doesn't lack people willing to invest in her; what she's saying is just an excuse.

However, compared to those people, she chose Li Luo without hesitation.

Nobody.

They are all willing to offer help in times of need.

When he was in his most difficult time, Luo Ge helped him out, and now he is willing to lend him a large sum of money to develop his business.

Compared to his former agent, the two are worlds apart.

Since he's unwilling to join Xinghuo Films, let's just start a new company together. Chuanwazi is definitely not one to slack off. Brother Luo gave me a peach, so I must repay him with a jade pendant.

Looking into the other person's serious eyes.

Li Luo knew that if he didn't agree, Zhang Liangyin probably wouldn't lend him a single penny.

It would be foolish not to take advantage of a free lunch.

"Thirty percent."

After thinking for a moment, he looked intently at Zhang Liangyin.

"it is good."

Zhang Liangyin hesitated slightly, then her eyes immediately crinkled into crescent moons with laughter.

She didn't lose out on this deal. Her 30% stake brought in eight million in real funds, and given Brother Luo's personality, he wouldn't interfere with her too much. She would be free to draw up her own plans in the future.

As Li Luo gripped her hand slightly tighter, Zhang Liangyin's heart couldn't help but race.

Her smile was impossible to suppress.

Most importantly, from now on, I can be firmly tied to Brother Luo.

It's still possible.
We meet up often.

Beneath the mask that Li Luo couldn't see, Zhang Liangyin was already secretly biting her lip with delight.

Having just ended a messy relationship with her former manager, and with Luo Ge having a general idea of ​​the embarrassing situation, she still felt somewhat inferior in front of Li Luo.

She didn't dare to even dream of anything happening between herself and Brother Luo.

But as long as we can get even a little closer.

Just a little closer.

The girl's heart was already pounding.

"Um...we"

As the hand was released, the Dolphin Princess was so excited that she became somewhat incoherent.

"celebrate?"

Li Luo smiled as he looked at the guy.

"Ok!"

The latter nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"so."

Li Luo took out his phone and checked the time, noticing an unread text message that had just been sent: "It's still early. You should know how to play mahjong, right? How about we go play some mahjong first?"

"By the way, you can only lose, not win."

"Feed them more cards."

"You don't need to lose too much, a few tens of thousands or a hundred thousand is enough as a token, and all of that money is on me."

"what?"

The newest partner was completely bewildered in her seat. Of course, this Sichuan girl knew how to play mahjong, but this turn of events was too sudden, and what was with the rule that you could only lose and not win?

Li Luo didn't explain much, and waved for Zhao Xuejing and the other person to drive back to the company on their own.

Then he signaled to Zhang Liangyin to start the vehicle.

Amidst the roar of vehicles.

Li Luo kept sharing his experience in starting a company. Although film and music are quite different, they also have some commonalities.

Since we'll be partners in the future, there are some things we need to do our best in.

The better the other party does.

You can earn more money that way, right?

Zhang Liangyin didn't bother to ask where they were going. The thought of building her own business made her incredibly excited, and she eagerly inquired about all sorts of details.

As the tires continued to roll, the two soon arrived at Qingcui Garden, which was also located on the banks of the Wenyu River.

He looked at Li Luo with a puzzled expression.

Under his direction, Zhang Liangyin stopped in front of a villa.

Press the door lock to enter the house.

Li Luo led the other party straight to the mahjong room on the second floor.

He took off his mask and swaggered open the half-closed door, where the clattering of mahjong tiles inside grew even louder.

Wow!!! The torchbearer is here!

"Li Luo, hurry up and lend me some Olympic torch relay materials. I refuse to believe we can't turn things around!"

"You looked really handsome on TV just now."

"He's a bit worse than me."

"Hahaha, Sun Nan, do you have any shame?"

"Oh right, Li Luo, you're not allowed on stage today. Who the hell can handle the luck of holding the torch?"

"Yeah."

Despite having played all night long, the people in the mahjong room were still incredibly energetic, and the moment Li Luo appeared, cheers erupted one after another.

Various kinds of teasing followed one after another.

"Papa~"

Li Luo clapped his hands vigorously and laughed as he stepped aside: "Sister Na, do you have to be so cowardly? If you don't want me to play, fine. I'll introduce you to a new card-playing partner, who is also a good friend of mine."

"Liang Yin, come in!"

As Li Luo stepped aside, Zhang Liangyin looked in shock at the array of music industry stars inside.

The princess raised her glass to drink water.

Na-young was casually smoking a cigarette, while Na-sin, the sister of the other contestant and a well-known producer, was watching the game. Sun-nan was chewing on a cigar, and there was another person who was also a senior figure in the music industry.

He swallowed hard.

Zhang Liangyin felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.

Although some people have met, their relationship is limited to nodding hello.

I never expected that Brother Luo would have such a terrifying network of connections in the music industry.

She understood instantly.

Why did Luo Ge bring me here?

Singing well can certainly make you stand out, but wherever there are people, there will be social circles, and naturally, small cliques will form. Some of these circles are not easy to enter.

I don't expect these people to speak up for justice when things get tough; just not kicking someone when they're down is a huge benefit.

Upon hearing Li Luo's greeting, everyone immediately recognized him.

The next moment.

The princess and Nayoung both looked at Lee Nak at the same time.

The latter's candid smile dispelled their doubts. The princess stood up with a smile: "Zhang Liangyin, right? I remember you sang the theme song for A Luo's 'Painted Skin.' You're welcome to come to my home as a guest."

Look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face.

Under Li Luo's smiling gaze, one by one, the people in the mahjong room stood up and warmly welcomed Zhang Liangyin.

"Hello, Sister Fei."

Zhang Liangyin took a deep breath and quickly stepped into the room.

The sound of mahjong tiles clattering constantly fills the air.

And in the outside world.

The news of the Olympic flame arriving in Beijing has spread rapidly across the internet, and the most representative image is the photo of Li Luo and Yao Ming receiving the torch.

Although there is a difference of several tens of centimeters in height.

But the reporter's upward-facing shot still perfectly captured the moment the flames ignited.

On the properties of motion.

The Little Giant has a full hand.

On its entertainment value.

The director and lead actor of a hit drama series cannot be ignored.

When these two young people, each with extraordinary achievements in their respective fields, solemnly brought their torches together in front of the ancient city gate, it generated a buzz that the organizers were extremely satisfied with.

It has all the elements you could want: youth, vitality, and sports.

Whether it's entertainment, society, or sports, major news websites immediately featured the photo of the two together on their front pages.

This way.

It's like they got a super cool online promotion that makes everyone green with envy.

Just as Han Sanping predicted, the two episodes of "My Sunshine" that aired on the evening of August 6th achieved a viewership rating of over 4%, with a viewership share reaching a staggering 17.2%.

It almost broke the record for the highest score in the history of "Dae Jang Geum".

At the same time, without a doubt, Li Luo's new work achieved a five-week winning streak in viewership ratings with its unparalleled performance.

After several days of fermentation.

The popularity of "Silent Separation" has fully taken hold.

And on August 7th, a shockingly real-world impact suddenly erupted.

Netizens have unearthed all the scenes involved in the drama.

Shanghai Science and Technology Museum.

Ticket sales surged that day.

Thousands of fans, cameras in hand, excitedly flooded into the venue, reenacting the scene of He Yichen and Zhao Mosheng's reunion at the airport, under the bewildered gaze of the science museum staff.

Shanghai Normal University, Xuhui Campus.

Fans flocked to the scene, weaving through the sycamore trees and between the teaching buildings, shouting and searching for the traces that He Yichen and Zhao Mosheng had once walked.

The popularity of the supporting actors in the drama skyrocketed.

Even before the TV series had officially finished airing, reporters began calling to interview them one after another.

Fan forums were set up one after another.

The number of followers is growing at an astonishing rate.

After a disappointing press conference, Liu Shishi, Sun Yizhou, Yuan Hong, Jiang Shuying, and others were greeted with an incredibly wonderful moment of attention, as the incident of Jiang Shuying being surrounded and blocked by others occurred to them one after another.

As a result, these guys don't dare to go out casually anymore, and they all wear masks with their heads down.

They are all both happy and troubled.

However, some people had smiles of pure happiness on their faces.

There is not a single worry.

Those are the product placement companies in the TV series "My Sunshine", especially the brands involved in fast-moving consumer goods.

The suit worn by Li Luo at the Qipilang brand store was completely sold out.

Coca-Cola sales plummeted.

Sprite is the trendiest carbonated beverage.

Saddle shoes were snapped up, especially the ones Huang Shengyi often wore in the plays.

Even more exaggerated.

Even the same cold medicine was snapped up before the bewildered eyes of the sales clerk; anyone who didn't know better would have thought there was some kind of flu outbreak.

Upon closer questioning, it turned out that these people were using it to confess their feelings.

It's both laughable and absurd.

Seeing the sales reports and distributor restocking notices that had been soaring for several days in a row, regional managers and brand owners were overjoyed and frantically called the factory to increase production capacity by working overtime.

Amid such a fervent response, the entire society was discussing things other than the Olympics.

It was He Yichen and Zhao Mosheng!
As the summer heat intensifies, everyone is witnessing the rise of a national idol.
