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

Chapter 529 Robbery Couple

Her eyes were filled with tears.

This was already the result of Huang Shengyi's best efforts to control it.

If it weren't for Lin Yue's presence, and if it weren't for the presence of legal department staff, she would have loved to jump onto the table and scream, then bite Brother Luo a few times to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

In the few years since his debut, Huang Shengyi has never encountered figures in the tens of millions.

And it's not even more than ten million.

More than 80 million!

Although Sister Yue just said that through legal tax avoidance, the tax payable here is as high as 20%, and the company will take 60% of the remaining money, she will still have more than 27 million left.

First, I felt so heartbroken that my liver trembled.

Immediately following was a wave of joy that swept through my entire body.

Huang Shengyi's heartache wasn't because of the company taking a cut. He knew very well that without Luo Ge's help to terminate his contract and without this phenomenal drama, "My Sunshine," none of this would exist.

Instead, they felt sorry for paying over ten million in taxes.

I know in my heart that I should pay this money, but I still can't help feeling the pinch.

This was wealth that Huang Shengyi had never encountered before. Anyone would tremble at the thought of it, but she quickly suppressed the feeling of heartache and was overwhelmed by the joy of becoming a multi-millionaire.

"Shengyi?"

Lin Yue asked again.

"without"

Huang Shengyi barely recovered from the shock, swallowing hard: "I have no questions, I'll sign! I can sign now!!!"

He exchanged a glance with Li Luo.

Lin Yue smiled and handed over the pen with both hands.

Given their current state, they would probably accept several more contracts without hesitation. The number of commercial endorsement deals that have been pouring in is not just a dozen or so. If they open their mouths to accept them, the endorsement amount could easily exceed 100 million.

This drama achieved an 18-week winning streak in viewership ratings, surpassing the phenomenal success of "Dae Jang Geum".

In other words.

At this point in time.

Huang Shengyi is the most popular female celebrity in China.

If they can't even secure commercial endorsements worth tens of millions under such a powerful position, then the market environment must be terrible. They've already filtered out a whole bunch of brands with low ratings.

After all, the key to doing business is long-term sustainability, and Lin Yue wouldn't do something as foolish as draining the pond to catch all the fish.

At the suggestion of my colleagues in the legal department.

Huang Shengyi forced himself to calm down and carefully signed his name on various commercial endorsement contracts, writing with perfect neatness and concentration.

Every name that appears represents tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars flowing into someone's pocket.

Wait until the last word is signed.

Huang Shengyi was so excited that his back was slightly damp with sweat.

As she put down the pen, she hurriedly took the drink Li Luo offered and gulped it down to alleviate the immense shock of the money.

There's also that dizzy feeling like your brain is about to run out of oxygen.

"Learn to be quiet."

Li Luo tapped the table and looked at his secretary: "Take Sheng Yi upstairs to rest for a while, and we'll discuss the details of the advertisement shoot later."

"What about you?"

Huang Shengyi's voice was hoarse.

"I?"

Li Luo picked up his pen and pointed with a smile to the remaining pile of contracts: "Of course I have to sign some too. You, Zhao Mosheng, are amazing, but I, He Yichen, can't fall behind you, can I?"

"Hahaha."

Cheerful laughter filled the meeting room.

Led by Zhao Xuejing, Huang Shengyi walked out of the conference room with a big smile on his face and his legs feeling weak.

As the male lead in the drama.

Moreover, Li Luo, with her more perfect public image and stronger status, naturally receives more favor from brands, and more brands are sending letters expressing their desire for commercial cooperation, with even higher amounts involved.

However, his selection process is much stricter.

I don't accept roles from non-well-known brands, and all roles must be compatible with my personal image.

Li Luo is still pushing down the number of endorsements she's getting. With "Painted Skin" and "Ip Man" coming out soon, she expects to be able to raise the price a bit more. There's no need to take them all at once.

In terms of choosing brand ambassadors.

In general, there are two main approaches.

High-end brands can lower prices, mainly to elevate their image, while ordinary fast-moving consumer goods brands are used to rake in huge profits.

First and foremost, there are cars.

Taking into account the image of each brand.

Ultimately, Li Luo chose the three-pointed star, which represents understated luxury and emphasizes the image of a business elite. Moreover, he was not an ambassador for a particular model, but rather the general ambassador for the entire Greater China region.

The endorsement period is three years, and the endorsement fee is 15 million RMB.

In addition, a car will be given as a gift.

A special edition S-class Black Gold Steel worth over two million.

Of course, the extremely expensive luxury car wasn't given away for free. Although Trident doesn't strictly restrict what vehicles Li Luo uses in his private life, it still requires him to drive the vehicle and maintain a certain level of exposure during his endorsement period.

The requirement is quite flexible; as long as you can drive this car and make some public appearances, that's fine.

After all, sometimes filming takes several months.

If we really need to agree on a fixed number of times.

That's not realistic either.

Although this figure is lower than Sprite's 30 million yuan endorsement fee over four years, Li Luo gladly accepted the offer from the other party, considering the brand power of Trident.

In addition, regarding mobile phones, Li Luo chose to cooperate with BBK Music Phone.

The brand is strong, and the other party has also developed well since then.

But it all boils down to one word!

money.
The total endorsement period of three years and the endorsement amount of 45 million yuan almost made Lin Yue restless. The number sounded outrageous, but the digital manufacturers were rich and powerful.

Especially the step-by-step pickaxe.

This company is known in the industry for its arrogance.

The endorsement fee that the other party signed with Song Hye-kyo is said to be over ten million US dollars, and the amount that Li Luo received is actually slightly less.

But for him...

That's already a very good breakthrough.

He has already raked in 60 million yuan in endorsement fees just for cars and mobile phones.

And obviously.

Li Luo won't just accept two advertisements.

Next came computers, snacks, and home furnishings and kitchenware that made him lose his composure. The latter two came to him mainly because of the domestic image Li Luo presented in the drama.

He looks like he's lounging on the sofa with a cushion, or like a stay-at-home dad cooking in the kitchen.

When I saw that scene on TV.

Various home furnishing and kitchenware brands were so excited they almost jumped for joy.

Anyone with a brain knows how appealing the character of He Yichen is to housewives.

These brands are very low-key, but they are not just ordinary wealthy merchants. Those who dare to rush in at this time are basically top merchants, and their spending is no less than 20 million.

Driven by Lin Yue's competitive bidding, the offered prices have risen even higher.

Therefore, the number of endorsements is only seven.

The amount, however, reached a staggering 180 million.

With her excellent looks and the momentum of "My Sunshine", this wave of commercial endorsements has made her incredibly wealthy.

After signing the papers.

Li Luo forcibly suppressed the urge to hiccup.

Even disregarding his own earnings, Huang Shengyi alone made 40 million.

Not to mention that the other party can also attend some commercial performances later, such as the opening of a residential community or the ribbon-cutting of a commercial plaza. They can easily earn seven figures just by making one trip, and their salary will skyrocket afterward.

All of these benefits can be attributed to a TV series with phenomenal influence.

These are the subsequent benefits.

It far exceeded the price the TV series sold for.

The data was eventually compiled.

Lin Yue pressed the folder down firmly, looking excitedly at her incredibly handsome boss. Just from today's advertising endorsement revenue, Xinghuo Films had raked in over 200 million yuan in profits.

At this moment.

We would be fearless even if we had to invest in another film and television base.

The specific figures are, of course, not known to ordinary employees. The company's profitability is a highly confidential business secret, and only a very few people have access to the relevant information, which will absolutely not be disclosed to the outside world.

No matter what.

The employees knew the company was definitely making money!
Seeing Brother Luo and Sister Yue hug each other happily, the other colleagues excitedly jumped up and cheered, filling the conference room with cheers.

The colleagues outside exchanged glances.

At that moment, they were all grinning from ear to ear.

The company's booming success is wonderful news for everyone.

Busy, busy, busy.

The next few days were filled with an incredibly busy filming period.

The initial payment is just a deposit. To get the full amount of money, you first need to cooperate with the brand to complete the corresponding shooting and promotion work before the money will be transferred.

Because they wanted to catch up with the ratings boom of "How to Win Friends and Influence People".

Brands are eager to sign contracts today and launch their advertisements to the market tomorrow.

For Xinghuo Films

Can't ask for it.

The sooner we finish filming, the sooner we can get the money.

Huang Shengyi had no objections. With tens of millions of yuan in hand, she threw herself into the filming work with boundless enthusiasm, and didn't even go back to the Sun Garden for several days.

When they were hungry, they ate in the studio; when they were tired, they slept on the sofa in the studio.

They work almost 20 hours a day without a break.

Holding all sorts of products and shouting all sorts of slogans, they tried to finish filming the advertisement in the shortest possible time.

李洛
The same applies to nature.

The camera clicked repeatedly as it operated continuously.

The Olympic Games concluded grandly amidst the attention of the entire nation.

There was laughter, and there was blood and tears.

There are also regrets.

Ultimately, the Chinese Olympic team still managed to take the top spot on the gold medal tally.

However, Li Luo and Huang Shengyi had no time to pay attention to these things. In just a few days, they completed the filming of all the advertisements in an Ironman Marathon-like manner.

The commercial is finished.

The two, however, could not stop walking.

Instead, they dragged their tired bodies onto planes to continue attending the brand endorsement launch events.

Next.

That was the moment that left industry peers speechless.

Just moments before, Li Luo, dressed in a suit, appeared at the Mercedes-Benz press conference, looking radiant and standing among various Mercedes-Benz vehicles with relevant executives, raising champagne to celebrate the glory of the three-pointed star.

Huang Shengyi then stood on the dazzling stage of Chevrolet, smiling radiantly as she demonstrated what it meant to have a beautiful car and a beautiful woman.

I just finished reading the previous report.

Li Luo was seen holding the laptop with a big smile on his face.

the other side.

Huang Shengyi was saddled and signed.

Clothing, mobile phones, shoes, cosmetics, snacks, and cold medicine—a series of press conferences were held in various places as "My Sunshine" aired on three major satellite TV channels.

I was in Shanghai in the morning, and arrived in Guangzhou in the afternoon.

We arrived in Quanzhou that evening.

Needless to say, the sheer number of people at every location he visited was staggering. The sheer frenzy of holding endorsement press conferences, as if he were rushing from one event to another, left his industry peers completely dumbfounded.

It wasn't just the press conference that appeared in the public eye; major TV stations quickly produced commercial short films that had been hastily completed, and various promotional posters and roll-up banners printed with their images swept through commercial districts.

When I got home that night, I saw He Yichen and Zhao Mosheng's sweet romance on TV.

And of course, there are countless commercials appearing one after another.

Go out during the day.

And billboards can be seen everywhere.

This terrifying level of exposure propelled Li Luo and Huang Shengyi to the top two spots on Baidu's celebrity search list.

Those actors who just gained a lot of attention with "Red Cliff".

They were all overwhelmingly defeated.

In terms of public influence, they are second only to those gold medal athletes who have won unparalleled glory and also amassed a huge number of advertising endorsements.

Borrowing a character from the drama "My Sunshine".

Southern Weekly directly ran the headline "Entertainment Industry Money-Grabbing 'Couple'" in bold on the newspaper.

As for how much money Li and Huang earned from this film, it has undoubtedly become a topic of discussion among netizens. However, regardless of the speculation, one thing is certain.

two guys
They've absolutely made a killing!!!
"Boom."

I heard the sound of a door closing downstairs.

Soon, heavy, somewhat hurried footsteps sounded, heading straight for the second floor.

Hold down the script.

Bian Xiaoxiao turned her head to look back.

The door was turned open, and Huang Shengyi appeared in sight.

"Jesus."

Noticing that even with thick foundation, the other person's dark circles were still incredibly obvious, Bian Xiaoxiao quickly took off the pen cap she was biting: "How long has it been since you slept? Your classmates all say you've been running around like crazy for gigs!"

"Lie down right now, stop standing there like an idiot!"

Although her best friend in front of her looked excited, Bian Xiaoxiao could tell at a glance that she had reached a critical point.

During the filming of the movie "The Movie", which lasted for several days and nights.

This is how this situation occurs.

Even though I was already exhausted, I was still incredibly energetic, like I'd been injected with adrenaline.

I won't sleep for several days.

There's simply no way to alleviate it.

"Little."

Huang Shengyi stared straight at her.

"Ok?"

Bian Xiaoxiao stood up.

Huang Shengyi decisively ripped open the zipper of the handbag, grabbed it tightly with his palm, gritted his teeth, and raised it high towards the bed. With a crisp swish, red banknotes flew everywhere.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

The crisp sound echoed in the room like a sudden storm, and Huang Shengyi, as if venting his anger, frantically threw out wads of hundred-yuan bills.

Under Bian Xiaoxiao's shocked gaze.

Countless bright red banknotes fluttered and fell onto the bed.

It fell on me.

Similarly, sprinkle the entire wooden floor with water.

The whole world seemed to turn red, and her nostrils were filled with the smell of money, giving her an unprecedented visual shock and causing her adrenaline to surge.

100,000, 200,000.

Three hundred thousand!
Bian Xiaoxiao had no idea how much money Huang Shengyi had thrown out all at once, and she stood there dumbfounded.

Luo Ge had given her hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of luxury goods and cars. The money he had thrown out here couldn't even buy an Audi TT, but the most direct impact of the money still left her speechless.

As the last handful of money was thrown out.

Huang Shengyi stood there panting, his expression somewhat blank.

All stimuli subsided.

What surged up was endless fatigue.

Such an unusual expression quickly brought Bian Xiaoxiao back to her senses. She swallowed hard, then stepped forward on the thick stack of banknotes, each step making a clattering sound.

No words were spoken.

Instead, she took Huang Shengyi's hand.

The latter followed her like a wooden doll to the bed covered in banknotes, slowly climbed onto the bed, and then lay down in the small arms of the other woman with wide eyes.

"Little."

"Ok?"

"I want to go out with you for a lobster feast, abalone, and all sorts of delicacies from land and sea, to eat things we couldn't afford before."

"Good~"

"I want to buy you a gift, and buy Luo Ge a gift, a very, very expensive gift."

"no problem."

"Nordic countries, the Maldives, do you remember that island that's like a fairyland? Tahiti, shall we go see the emerald ocean together and see the world we've only ever seen in magazines?"

"Uh-huh!"

"I'm so sleepy~ I really want to sleep."

"Go to sleep~"

She gently massaged her temples, glancing with a pained expression at her sister who was muttering to herself. Less than a minute later, her sister began snoring heavily and fell asleep in her arms.

Carefully help her lie down.

The banknotes that were everywhere were completely ignored by Bian Xiaoxiao.

She hurried to the bathroom, filled a basin with hot water, and then painstakingly removed Huang Shengyi's clothes. She carefully wiped him down with a wet towel, allowing the exhausted man to get a good night's sleep.

洛哥
Busy wiping, a look of worry flashed in Bian Xiaoxiao's eyes.

He must be exhausted too!

"Ah."

"Have them prepare the plan tomorrow; I'll take a look at it while I'm at it!"

"no problem."

"How are the preparations for the groundbreaking ceremony going? Great, thank you for your hard work, Sister Yue. Our group will arrive in Tonglu at 8:30 tomorrow. I won't tell you yet, we need to prepare for tonight's program rehearsal."

Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Li Luo hung up the phone.

After nearly a month of surveying, designing, and preparation, the film and television base can finally break ground.

This part is from the early stages.

The main tasks included roughly planning the terrain, leveling the land, and digging river channels.

We can get busy with this aspect of the work first.

It's actually similar to the cooking process. You don't have to wait until all the ingredients are ready before you start cooking, otherwise it will only delay the project's completion time.

Groundbreaking ceremony for the project.

It will be officially held on September 1st.

However, before that, he had just finished the press conference and hadn't had a moment to rest.

After having a big meal with the brand representatives, I boarded a plane to Changsha to attend the closing ceremony and awards ceremony of the 7th Golden Eagle TV Art Festival tonight.

"My Sunshine" couldn't make it to the Golden Eagle Awards, so it didn't receive a nomination this year.

He was not nominated.

To be honest, Li Luo didn't really want to participate.

But he couldn't resist Ouyang Changlin's repeated invitations some time ago.

We can only accept it.

As one of the most popular dramas on Hunan TV with skyrocketing ratings in recent years, how could Ouyang Changlin possibly let the male lead miss the Golden Eagle Awards? It can be said that he wanted to use this opportunity to boost the ratings.

On the other hand, it is also a way of expressing gratitude to Li Luo!

Its viewership ratings were the highest in the country.

Hunan TV also made a fortune from this.

As a result, Ouyang Changlin made a significant contribution to her resume, not only completely erasing last year's setback but also giving her a much-needed boost. Therefore, she was quite willing to give Li Luo the benefits.

The original plan was for Li Luo and Huang Shengyi to attend together, as the latter was also eager to participate in this highly anticipated event.

However, Ms. Zhao Mosheng has been working at a high intensity for more than ten days.

If we keep going like this...

I have to get a serious illness.

Even though the Golden Eagle Awards are highly prestigious, being one of the top television awards in China, it's not worth risking your health. After all, it's not about receiving an award, it's just about attending an event.

So Li Luo forcibly suppressed that guy's idea.

Let her return to the capital.

Let's take a good rest first.

The vehicle stops.

Li Luo took a deep breath, flung open the car door, and shook hands with the staff member in charge of reception with a big smile. They then greeted each other and quickly walked into the magnificent building in front of them.

Despite being exhausted, Liu Wan and Zhao Xuejing had no choice but to grit their teeth and keep up.

Amidst the chaotic footsteps.

They quickly went backstage.

Because of the high standards of the Golden Eagle Awards, tonight's scene was extraordinary, with people coming and going everywhere behind the stage, making final preparations for the venue.

The dancers noticed the group of people walking over and then looked closely at Li Luo in the middle of the crowd.

"Brother Luo?"

"Oh my god, it's He Yichen!"

"So handsome!!!"

A series of excited gasps rang out, and the desire to take a photo with the others was palpable.

However, when the staff glanced over, they were so startled that they quickly dismissed the idea. But when Li Luo smiled and nodded, the girls, all dressed up, were overjoyed.

“I am very familiar with all the actors in 'Struggle'.”

"In life."

"They are all good friends."

"I am good friends with Wen Zhang, Li Xiaolu, Wang Luodan and others. I hope they can perform well at this year's Golden Eagle Awards."

The slightly deep voice made Li Luo slow down.

"Thank you, Li Chen."

From inside the side door, another inquiring voice asked with interest, "So, have you all considered collaborating with Director Zhao Baogang? If the opportunity arises..."

Li Luo waved apologetically to the staff.

Then, out of curiosity, I went inside.

An interview was clearly taking place in the dressing room, with three male actors standing together facing the camera.

"of course."

Li Chen quickly responded to the camera.

I never expected to run into Big Black Bull here. I had never dealt with him before, but I heard that he is a very shrewd person in the industry and a famous wholesaler of heart-shaped stones.

The reporter moved the microphone, which was labeled with a mango logo.

I looked curiously toward the center.

"Director Bao Gang."

The man in the black T-shirt, with the robust build typical of northern men, smiled at the camera and solemnly said in a thick, strong accent, "I really want to cooperate with you!"

The slightly exaggerated body language caused soft laughter to rise and fall in the dressing room.

beside him.

Even the shortest guy was happy to flash his signature big white teeth.

"Excuse me."

Before the laughter had even subsided, a leisurely voice came from the dressing room door: "So, where is Director Li Luo?"
