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

Chapter 550 is quite cute
Attended the opening ceremony of "Under the Zhengyang Gate".

Li Luo mainly came to support the production, since the male and female leads of this drama haven't gained much popularity yet. Although Zhu Yawen starred in "The Art of War," who knows when it will be broadcast?

The only notable role he has is Zhu Chuanwu, a supporting character in "Crossing the Guandong".

Bian Xiaoxiao.

This was even her first time playing a leading role.

If I, as the producer, didn't come to join in the fun, it would probably be incredibly quiet. At least if I didn't spend a lot of money, all the people who came today would be tabloid reporters, and it wouldn't make much of a splash.

The money invested.

Although it's only five million.

But even a small amount of money is still his own, and he has to help boost the popularity of the new film. Zhang Guoli attended for the same reason, as it involves a lot of hard-earned money.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages. After the start-up process was completed, the reporters on site swarmed towards Li Luo.

This level of popularity is terrifying.

The actors in "Under the Zhengyang Gate" were astonished by what they saw.

"Everyone."

Seeing this, Li Luo could only press his palms down repeatedly and hurriedly shouted to the reporters, "My role today is that of a producer. Please forgive me. Can we talk about unrelated issues another day?"

"Please pay more attention to the actors in our 'Under the Zhengyang Gate'; they are a group of very outstanding actors."

"They will definitely have many stories to share with you."

Something that overshadows the main event.

Li Luo didn't want to do it.

Although he is technically the main character, since it is a film and television project, the cast and crew should always be pushed to the forefront. They are the protagonists of the story, and others should take the spotlight.

The reporters all received red envelopes, and in principle, they were supposed to listen to their employers.

Unfortunately, the owner's business is too popular.

No reporter would be satisfied without asking a question or two.

Everyone knows Li Luo's habits. The celebration banquet for "Painted Skin" is over, and if there are no more promotional activities, it will be extremely difficult to catch him in public.

"Let's chat for a bit, Brother Luo."

"Yes, yes, let's just chat for a bit, it won't take up much time. We'll definitely do a good interview later!"

"Brother Luo, please help me."

"The editor-in-chief has already assigned the task; it would be difficult to go back without some materials."

Last night, they dropped a bombshell.

In addition, there are various responses and discussions today.

The reporters were really anxious about the questions, and knowing that Li Luo would be attending today's opening ceremony, if they couldn't get any information, they could expect to be scolded by their editor-in-chief!
Right outside the crowd, Wu Lin braced himself and gestured to his boss.

In the area of ​​Xinghuo Films.

He is in charge of marketing.

A significant part of his job is coordinating and maintaining media relations. If Luo Ge continues to refuse interviews, his future work will be difficult.

He refuted the reporter's request at a crucial moment.

So if something happens to you or one of the artists under your company, no one will show you any mercy.

Media relations can sometimes be that simple.

"Two minutes."

Li Luo smiled and shook his head, tapping his wristwatch as he said, "Please forgive me, everyone. The director and actors are all waiting here. If we take too long, they might start making up some rumors about me."

Liu Jiacheng, Zhu Yawen, Bian Xiaoxiao, and others burst into laughter.

Everyone else gathered around as well.

They looked at him intently, along with the reporters.

Although they are all in the same industry, let alone 360 ​​million in box office revenue, even 100 million would be an astronomical figure for them. This is a completely different level of situation. It would be strange if people weren't curious!
"Luo Ge."

A reporter from Tencent Entertainment preemptively asked, quickly bringing the microphone closer: "Have you ever thought about trying your luck in Hollywood?"

Time is limited, so I can only ask the key questions.

Whether we want to admit it or not.

Hollywood.

It is now the world's strongest film and television production center.

Those blockbuster movies that sell globally, the breathtaking special effects, and the assembly-line-like film and television industry system are enough to make any filmmaker look up in awe, and who wouldn't dream of joining Hollywood?

It means to join.

Not conquest!
If an actor can successfully integrate into a project and land a significant supporting role in a blockbuster film, it's something to brag about, and their commercial value will skyrocket.

First of all, the international image is different.

Secondly, they're making US dollars there, so if they can successfully establish themselves, they could act in a few movies.

Then wait until the pay rises.

The actors all had to grin from ear to ear.

You should know that there are plenty of people in Hollywood who earn around three million US dollars a month, which is more than 20 million RMB. 99% of actors in mainland China wouldn't even dare to dream of that amount.

Even if I can't make a living anymore!
Run back.

They can still use this seniority to ask for exorbitant prices.

It looks very promising, but these days only Hendrik Willem Van Loon and Jet Li have made a name for themselves in Hollywood. Even Chow Yun-fat can't make much of a splash there.

Upon hearing the word "Hollywood," all the actors looked at Li Luo with longing in their eyes.

This kind of reaction is normal.

Before zzzq ran rampant, he was indeed powerful.

Both their salaries and their technical skills represent the highest level in the entire industry. Not only China, but also many other countries' top actors are making one after another striving to enter Hollywood.

"Oh?"

A smile played on Li Luo's lips as he looked at the reporter with interest: "Why the sudden mention of Hollywood? Do you want me to try their boxed lunches?"

I paused for two seconds.

The reporters who had gathered around burst into laughter.

Those who make a living by writing cannot help but pay attention to online opinions.

We'll see how things go now.

They're not the only ones who are paying attention.

"Maybe~"

Li Luo laughed and casually waved his hand, saying, "I might give it a try if I have the chance. The most important thing is to see if there are suitable roles or offers. Some things are better left to fate."

Have you been in contact with them recently?

"Brother Luo, you could actually consider action movies. With your abilities, you definitely have no problem."

This is a positive response.

This instantly excited the reporters.

When they heard about action movies, everyone nodded excitedly and offered various suggestions, as if they wished he would immediately cross the Pacific Ocean to join them.

"talk later!"

Li Luo smiled and looked around, saying casually, "Right now, I just want to focus on what I'm doing."

Hear this.

The reporters sighed regretfully.

Due to the nature of their profession, they have easy access to all kinds of information.

He knew very well that Hollywood was not an easy place to make it. It looked open but was actually extremely xenophobic. Chow Yun-fat's attempt to break into Hollywood also ended in failure. Without some special skills, you simply couldn't succeed there.

But Li Luo's skills.

It's a rare skill that's scarce in Hollywood.

The reason why Chow Yun-fat failed is because there is no shortage of good actors with good acting skills in dramatic roles. Who would want to watch an Asian man and a white woman talking about love on the big screen?

You put a white or black person on screen in the domestic market, flirting with Chinese female celebrities.

The audience here doesn't like watching either.

They felt it was a real shame that they didn't take advantage of their skills.

"Luo Ge."

Another reporter quickly put the matter out of their mind and hurriedly shoved the microphone forward: "Have you been following Sun Haiying's remarks? What is your comment on them?"

Compared to the vague and unrealistic impact on Hollywood.

This is the highlight of today.

The other reporters swallowed hard, their expressions even more excited than before. The reason they kept pestering Li Luo for an interview was to see what it would be like for two famous cannons, one big and one small, to clash.

"Feel sorry?"

Li Luo said he didn't understand the meaning of that sentence.

Ever since he said he wanted to capsize the big ship last night, it's been like stirring up a hornet's nest. All sorts of opinions, both supporting and opposing, have been pouring in. He has no idea who said what, or what anyone else said.

"It was said half an hour ago."

"You're too impetuous!"

He said you weren't doing your job properly.

He said you look glamorous on the surface, but you're just talking nonsense.

He said you're lost.

"Painted Skin is the worst film in the world, only worth tens of millions of dollars! Turning Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio into a romance novel is disgusting. You can't always make this kind of fast-food style stuff!"

Hearing the reporters' various comments.

Marketing manager Wu Lin widened his eyes and was about to squeeze into the crowd to forcibly interrupt the interview.

The rest of the cast.

They all looked at each other in bewilderment.

It's perfectly normal that what Brother Luo said last night caused controversy. Everyone just took those comments mocking him for only being an extra in Hollywood as a joke.

But now.

That's a different matter altogether.

Those who are criticizing him now are veterans in the industry.

Since playing the role in "The Passionate Years", Sun Haiying has been completely immersed in the character and has inherited the character's fiery temper, always lashing out at things he doesn't like.

He was nicknamed "Sun the Cannon"!
Everyone knew the other party had a fiery temper, but no one expected that guy would actually berate Li Luo as if his grave had been dug up.

However, the target of this attack is Li Dapao, which is absolutely explosive.

Raise your hand.

Li Luo stopped Wu Lin's actions.

smile.

He glanced around at the cameras, looking at the reporters who were extremely excited, looking at these reporters who wished they could jump up and down and curse.

"Tsk~"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Li Luo chuckled and shook his head: "I didn't expect him to be so cute."

"Next question."

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"

A gust of hot wind swept by, and the studio fell silent as it started up.

Not
Why have you changed your temper?!

Even after being scolded like this, you can still praise someone as cute.

Li Luo's behavior was so different from before that the reporters were almost caught off guard and just stared blankly at his calm expression.

wrong! ! !

lovely
You, a person in your twenties, are praising someone in their fifties as cute.

What kind of praise is this?

Clearly.

揶揄
"Pfft~"

Some quick-witted individuals burst out laughing, their saliva splattering onto the reporters standing in front, eliciting a low exclamation of "Ouch, holy crap!" followed by a burst of laughter from the reporters that echoed throughout the opening ceremony venue.

Li Luo's meaning.

Everyone realized what was happening at that moment.

Go ahead and curse me if you want. I didn't take you seriously at all, and then I'll even compliment you on being cute.

That's giving me face, isn't it?
Amidst the laughter, the on-site interviews continued.

Li Luo reiterated that the goal of "Painted Skin" is to reclaim the title of the highest-grossing film in history, and that breaking the 3.6 ​​million yuan mark is the film's ultimate objective.

You received a satisfactory answer.

The reporters finally dispersed, satisfied, and began interviewing the main creators of "Under the Zhengyang Gate".

Li Luo and Zhang Guoli wandered around, helping to liven up the atmosphere.

The laughter continued.

The sound of cameras clicking was also heard repeatedly.

Despite it being her first time experiencing something like this, Bian Xiaoxiao tried her best to handle the situation and shared various aspects of the story. Although she seemed rather inexperienced, she did a decent job.

Although Chen Zihan was very capable, she remained quite low-key.

She knew it very well.

The only thing I can do is let my work speak for itself. Only in this way can I get back what I've lost, instead of trying to steal the spotlight from the female lead and incurring people's resentment.

Wang Xiaochen performed admirably. Although she was a complete newcomer, the company regularly organized training sessions for her staff on relevant interviewing skills.

Answer if you can.

If you don't know what to say, just give your assistant a meaningful look.

Before you have enough experience dealing with the media, you must speak carefully and think before you speak. It's better to seem a little clumsy than to say the wrong thing during an interview.

"May filming at Zhengyang Gate bring you great fortune!!!"

Red envelopes swayed amidst cheers, and the whistling of pigeons echoed over the capital.

The group photo was taken.

The opening ceremony at Zhengyangmen has concluded.

Shooting
Press this one down first.

The main cast and crew, along with the media personnel, happily headed to the hotel for a celebratory banquet to kick off the filming. Even an emperor wouldn't let his soldiers go hungry; they needed to boost morale before getting to work.

Eat and drink enough.

Everyone went back to their own homes and to their own mothers.

The main members of the production team returned to their rooms to make the most of their last bit of rest before filming officially began.

Saying goodbye to my senior.

Zhao Ke did not return to her room.

She swallowed hard, then pressed the button for the next level with great excitement.

The elevator door opens.

I walked quickly down the corridor.

He went straight to the door of Bian Xiaoxiao's room, his fingers trembling as he reached into his pocket.

"drop."

The key card rang.

The girl slipped into the room.

After quickly hanging up the chain, Zhao Ke turned around with sparkling eyes, looking at the living room bathed in the midday sun. The wine glasses shone brightly, and beads of sweat glistened on her shapely buttocks.

The full arc swayed in mid-air, drawing streaks of color.

Under her gaze.

Li Luo is smiling as he tilts his wine glass.

The crimson wine turned into streams of water, continuously dripping onto the delicate skin of her back under the sunlight. Some of the red wine turned into droplets, splashing everywhere and dripping onto the thick carpet.

But even more red wine rolled down his spine.

It's spinning.

It continues to spread.

A small pool of crimson wine quickly formed in the small hollow of her waist, a pool of wine that shimmered with luster.

four cardinal vices.

It was as if all desires were concentrated in it.

"Old Zhao."

The water in his hand stopped abruptly, and Li Luo cheerfully met the girl's gaze: "You've come at the perfect time. Xiao Xiao probably won't be able to drink this glass of wine. Would you like a sip to quench your thirst?"

Of course, Bian Xiaoxiao couldn't get a drink.

It's so hot outside, and our leading lady is busy slurping to quench her thirst.

She smiled sweetly.

Zhao Ke walked forward with light steps.

The further you walk...

The shorter the stature.

Using both hands and feet, they then crawl forward on their knees.

Looking at the goosebumps that appeared on her skin from the cold liquor, and then at the wine fountain that kept swaying with her small movements, Zhao Ke pursed her lips, leaned over, and took a deep breath.

Have fun here.

Reports from journalists quickly appeared on major portal websites.

"Xinghuo and Changsheng have joined forces again to launch the period drama 'Under the Zhengyang Gate' after 'My Sunshine', starring Zhu Yawen and Bian Xiaoxiao, with a total investment of 25 million yuan."

"From a scrap collector to a multi-millionaire, the story of a man's life turning around under the Zhengyang Gate."

"Spark is producing another big production. Bian Xiaoxiao, who has collaborated with Li Luo many times, is taking on the lead role for the first time. She said she feels a lot of pressure, but she will definitely do her best to play the role well and hopes to bring surprises to the audience."

"Spanning a thousand years."

After finishing filming the TV series "The Art of War", Zhu Yawen turned to the 1970s and 1980s, portraying a legendary life story of being a con artist and appraiser.

"During the interview, Zhu Yawen repeatedly expressed her gratitude to the producer."

"I hope to live up to your expectations!"

When asked about Hollywood for the first time, Li Luo said he believes in letting things take their natural course, and that he might try something new if the opportunity arises.

"Aiming at the big ship."

"Li Luo, producer and lead actor of 'Painted Skin,' reiterated his goal, firmly believing that the film, currently showing in theaters, can surpass the 3.6 ​​million yuan mark, and is full of confidence in the potential of the mainland market."

Li Luo: I didn't expect him to be so cute.

The various headlines flooding various websites instantly attracted the attention of countless people.

After releasing "My Sunshine" and "Painted Skin" in succession, any title with the name Li Luo can now attract mouse clicks, as if it has some kind of magic.

Now naturally is no exception.

People get what they need from all the news.

Fans curious about the new drama clicked on the news about "Under the Zhengyang Gate" and were delighted that Xinghuo Films was about to release a new drama. Now there is a feeling that Xinghuo productions are bound to be of high quality.

However, I also feel regretful.

Li Luo did not choose to perform this time.

Some industry insiders watched with envy, feeling quite jealous of the artists signed under Xinghuo.

This boss.

He really takes excellent care of his artists.

Fan Bingbing starred in "Painted Skin", Huang Shengyi starred in "My Sunshine", Huang Bo starred in "Crazy Racer", Wang Ou starred in "The Glamorous Imperial Concubine", and now Bian Xiaoxiao has also become the female lead.

It cannot be said that it covers everyone.

But this ratio is already quite astonishing.

Whether or not they can be promoted, at least most artists are given the opportunity to make their mark.

Hollywood headline.

It is equally eye-catching.

Let alone producing a series of blockbuster films like Hendrik Willem Van Loon, even playing a minor, insignificant supporting role in a commercial blockbuster seems to be gilded with gold, and actors will boast about it endlessly.

The somewhat official response left people wanting more.

Finally, we come to the end.

All eyes were focused on the simplest headline: "Li Luo: I didn't expect him to be so cute."

Gossip and scandals.

Confession
Those eyes suddenly lit up.

The editor is so careless; how could they misspell even the character "他" (him)?

Swallow hard.

Countless mouse clicks echoed.

next moment.

Various expressions of bewilderment, confusion, and self-doubt lit up the computer screen as everyone stared blankly at the lines of text.

What the hell!!!
Having known Li Luo for so many years, this is the first time I've seen him get scolded and not retaliate.

They even complimented the other person on being cute.
Wait a minute!

Something is definitely amiss here.

next moment.

Exaggerated laughter echoed from offices all over the country. These people tried to suppress their laughter under the gaze of their colleagues, subordinates, and superiors, but their stomachs still clenched and they ended up blushing.

Spark Films.

Organize the endorsement materials at hand.

Stretching, Lin Yue walked out of the office with a smile on her face, holding the documents.

The company's main films are enjoying booming box office success, which naturally brings various business opportunities, thanks to the excellent image and temperament of both the boss and Fan Bingbing.

The movie wasn't even finished showing in theaters yet.

Brands have already flocked to it.

They were afraid of falling behind.

What he holds in his hand is a huge endorsement fee of over 100 million yuan.

This includes some high-end luxury brands.

Fame and fortune.

Both are present.

Seeing the company receive another large sum of money, she was naturally in a great mood. She had never had such abundant cash flow when she was working at Anta, and it even surpassed many listed companies.

However, this is only the initial screening, and even if she were stupid, she wouldn't talk about prices at this time.

If it really succeeds in breaking through 3.6 million.

It has become the highest-grossing film in history!

As a result, their endorsement fees naturally increased.

With a satisfied expression, Lin Yue entered the password to open Li Luo's office door, went straight to his desk, and finished her work. She would have to go to the architectural design firm later.

The height restrictions on headquarters building land use save a significant amount of money.

If it were built to have dozens of floors...

Construction costs are expected to skyrocket.

With an overall height of about twenty meters, the requirements for foundation bearing capacity, structural stability, fire protection, earthquake resistance, emergency response, power supply, and water supply will be greatly reduced, which can save a lot of money.

But nevertheless.

To make good use of a super large building area of ​​5,000 square meters, it is still necessary to have a professional design team to plan it.

After putting down the documents, Lin Yue turned to leave.

"Ok?"

His gaze fell on the whiteboard next to him, on which various words were scribbled in a messy handwriting. It was clearly his boss’s handwriting. Manager Lin couldn’t take his eyes off it.

HBO+TVB.

This is a line of text written at the very top of the whiteboard.

TVB.

This is familiar; it's the English abbreviation for Hong Kong Island's TVB.

HBO.

Others might be confused, but Lin Yue had studied at Wharton Business School and lived in the United States for a period of time, so she knew very well what those three letters represented.

This is a pay-TV station in the United States.

It is known for its large scale.

HBO adheres to an original production strategy, creating a series of highly popular television shows. These high-quality shows continuously attract subscribers, and the money from subscriptions is then reinvested in original series.

This creates a highly virtuous cycle.

With tens of millions of high-quality paid subscribers, this TV station is living a very comfortable life.

Take back your thoughts.

Lin Yue continued reading with a puzzled expression.

"Do not compete or grab."

"We must avoid blind and disorderly capital expansion, focus on niche markets, and not let the game of capital cloud our judgment."

"Attract users through content."

"We cannot burn money to grab customers, we cannot be swayed by data, and the idea of ​​achieving miracles through brute force is not advisable."

"Honestly create works that you yourself enjoy watching, put your heart into them, and then share them with others. Make something truly watchable, continuously output content, and constantly build user loyalty."

"Treat users as novices, not idiots."

"We need to befriend our users."

"You can brag, but you're not allowed to talk about concepts."

"Establish our own talent development system and form a competitive mechanism."

"Optimize the payment model."

"Build a proper profit distribution model that packages actors, screenwriters, and directors into the model, strongly binding profits and quality together, so that the main creators share both the glory and the loss."

"We cannot adopt a buyout system."

The whiteboard was covered with such extremely scribbled words.

The more I write, the better.

The more chaotic it gets.

Lin Yue gazed greedily at everything before her, her thoughts churning with the words, so engrossed that she didn't even hear the footsteps that had entered the office.
