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

Chapter 553 No-PPT Presentation
Face doubts.

Jia Yueting laughed before speaking, then said with a hint of self-deprecation, "Saying that we are competitors is just flattering myself. In reality, I only founded a video website, which is incomparable to Mr. Li's situation."

"Mr. Jia, you're too kind."

Letting go, Li Luo asked again, 'curiously', 'Video websites?'

"Musician!"

Jia Yueting wore a slightly arrogant expression.

"Then we really are in the same industry."

Li Luo gripped his golf club, took off his hat to fan himself, and then smiled faintly: "We're all in the film and television industry, Mr. Jia, there's no need to be so modest. It's a pleasure to meet you."

If the other party is pretending, then you pretend too.

Upon seeing the other party and recalling Jia Yueting's series of actions, Li Luo easily deduced that the ball had definitely flown over on purpose.

So this is no longer a chance encounter.

That being the case.

Jia Yueting definitely had ulterior motives.

Li Luo then put his hat back on, looking like he was about to leave.

Pressuring the other party to get to the point.

This action made Jia Yueting think of something else, and he quickly waved his hand at Li Luo and said, "Mr. Li, you may have misunderstood. Actually, Leshi is different from other video websites. We follow the route of legitimate content."

"During this period of time."

"Actually, we have always been actively purchasing genuine online resources."

Nowadays, video websites are not seen as a cash cow by film and television production companies.

On the contrary, they looked at him with deep hatred.

Those pirates have to sell CDs secretly.

Nowadays, video websites and players are brazenly uploading all kinds of film and television resources, waving the banner of the internet sharing spirit, and appropriating what others have invested heavily in producing.

Their starting point wasn't so noble or righteous; ultimately, they just wanted to make money.

It's used to acquire users and generate advertising revenue.

Earn various benefits.

As users, we are naturally happy to be able to watch a huge amount of resources for free without spending a penny.

As film and television professionals, we've invested hundreds of millions to create these works, and you just take them without spending a penny to make money for yourself. No one can tolerate that.

Even farmers, after painstakingly growing their vegetables, have them dug up with hoes.

No one could resist hurling insults.

Li Luo's reaction made Jia Yueting immediately realize that he was highly suspected of plagiarizing copyrights and then showing off, so he quickly explained that everyone was actually on the same side.

Li Luo didn't think that much about it.

However, Jia Yueting's words made him instantly understand the other party's intentions.

They started out as musicians.

It relies on the large number of copyrights purchased cheaply.

Then various concepts are developed.

There are many labels attached to Jia Yueting, such as "Returning to China Next Week", "Jia the Runner", "A Shocking Scammer", and "The King of PPTs".

Various labels.

There are simply too many to count.

However, there is one thing: this guy has a good eye for talent.

It was both a coincidence and an inevitability that Jia Yueting appeared before me. Even without this golf trip, he would have appeared before me sooner or later.

The vast amount of film and television copyrights that one holds is an irresistible temptation for the other party.

"Oh~"

Upon hearing this, Li Luo immediately laughed and then poked the golf club: "I didn't expect President Jia to be so pioneering. Nowadays, not many people are willing to buy the online copyrights of film and television dramas. Everyone just takes them and uses them."

"I'm not the one who dares to be the first."

Having successfully opened the conversation, Jia Yueting's eyes became quite fervent: "It should be Juyuan Network. I am completely outmatched by President Li."

"Uh?"

Li Luo feigned surprise, then chuckled softly, "Mr. Jia, please speak frankly."

How come nothing's wrong?

Something's definitely wrong.

While laughing along, Jia Yueting was deeply conflicted.

at the same time
He admired Li Luo immensely.

Once he realized the huge potential of online film and television copyrights, he immediately mobilized manpower and a large amount of funds to sweep up all the copyrights accumulated by the film and television industry over the past few years or even decades.

But they were completely baffled to discover the copyrights to classic works such as "My Own Swordsman", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Soldiers Sortie" and "Water Margin".

They were all bought up!

Realizing something was wrong, Jia Yueting immediately flew to Hong Kong Island.

Classic Hong Kong films such as "Fight Back to School", "A Better Tomorrow", and "A Chinese Ghost Story", as well as classic Hong Kong TV dramas such as "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", "The Return of the Condor Heroes", "The Greed of Man", and "Detective Investigation Files".

Everything was swept away.

Undeterred, Jia Yueting hurriedly headed to Taiwan.

However, TV series such as "The Legend of the White Snake", "Meteor Garden", "Little Li Flying Dagger", "Green Green Grass by the River", "Justice Bao", and "New Shaolin Temple" have also been completely consumed.

The concept of online film and television copyright is practically nonexistent now, which left the relevant company representatives completely bewildered.

Secondly, it's only the online broadcasting rights within the Chinese region anyway.

It has nothing to do with DVDs.

It has nothing to do with cinemas or television broadcasts.

No one had ever bought these online streaming rights before; it was like money was being handed to them out of thin air. No company would refuse such a windfall.

After this investigation...

Jia Yueting was bewildered to discover that while there were still many copyrights left for Leshi, the most valuable and influential ones had basically been taken away entirely.

All that could be seen was the name "Juyuan Network".

After returning home.

I immediately asked someone to inquire.

The news he received almost shocked him.

The famous actor and Xinghuo Film and Television executive, Li Luo, was actually hiding behind Juyuan Network. I never expected that the other party would have such a keen sense of smell and do what I wanted to do first!
Along with the message came a warning.

This directly indicates that there are also powerful figures among the shareholders of Juyuan Network, in addition to Li Luo's immense influence.

If a cooperation can be reached, then so be it.

If we can't talk about it, we can't force it through any means.

There are plenty of opportunities to make money; there's no need to make a scene.

There is a warning.

Jia Yueting had already given up on the idea.

Anyway, the remaining copyrights could meet his needs, and there were so many that he couldn't possibly consume them all, but unfortunately, he unexpectedly encountered this guy, Li Luo.

An opportunity has been spotted.

Of course, we should try to see if we can work together.

It's about cooperation.

He never even considered buying it.

Juyuan Network's holdings of online film and television copyrights are worth at least 200 million yuan. Regardless of whether they have that amount of money or not, they are unwilling to spend it.

"Mr. Li."

After carefully considering his words, Jia Yueting said in an admiring tone, "Actually, I've always really liked your dream declaration. I can practically recite those sentences by heart."

"Like you, I also have dreams."

"same as you."

"I also hope that my dreams can shine."

His constantly waving arms and infectious tone left the caddie standing not far away stunned.

Li Luo was completely dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, the other party was going to give me a presentation without PowerPoint on the spot.

You're just using the same words you used to fool others to fool yourself. Are you serious? Mr. Jia's skills are still a bit immature!
I forced myself to suppress a smile.

Li Luo nodded repeatedly as he listened.

"so."

Quoting Li Luo's words and then outlining his vision for the market, Jia Yueting looked at Li Luo with shining eyes and said, "I chose to establish Lex, intending to use this platform to draw up a blueprint."

"Mr. Li."

"Since you've acquired so many copyrights, I assume you're very optimistic about the future of the legitimate market, right?"

"Especially in the area of ​​the internet?"

"Yes."

Li Luo picked up the conversation, toying with the golf club in his hand: "So I won't hide it from President Jia, Xinghuo Films has actually been preparing to build its own platform."

A gentle breeze blew by.

The grass swayed, and Jia Yueting stood there bewildered.

Those words that were stuck in my throat.

It felt like a fishbone stuck in my throat.

The reason for saying so much is simply to win over Li Luo to Leshi, which would not only bring in a large investment and allow them to use all the copyrights he controls, but also boost their reputation.

This is a great thing that achieves three goals at once.

Before he could even begin to make his plans, they were shattered by the other party, who then declared that they would be competitors in the future.

this time.

They've completely messed up Jia Yueting's mind!

"to be honest."

Li Luo chuckled and shook his head, looking at Boss Jia with a big smile: "I never expected to have the chance to meet Boss Jia today. How about we exchange contact information?"

"From now on, we'll be true colleagues!"

"If there's anything I don't understand, I might have to ask you for help sometime."

Take out your phone.

Jia Yueting, at a loss, changed his phone number.

He certainly wanted the phone number, but he never expected it to turn out this way. He clearly wanted to recruit Li Luo, but somehow it turned into the other party asking him for advice!
In a state of extreme emotional turmoil.

Jia Yueting forced a smile and exchanged a few polite words before taking his leave.

It's just a matter of taking the steps back!
It was rather messy.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Xinghuo Films entering the competition; he had his own way of doing things. It was just that Li Luo had left him speechless and utterly exasperated.

Watching the other person's back, Li Luo forcibly suppressed his laughter.

Regardless of what the other person says.

Unless faced with unforeseen circumstances, he would absolutely not engage in any deep cooperation with this guy. Some say that the other party's thinking and business philosophy are ahead of their time, it's just a pity he was born at the wrong time, but he believes that being half a step ahead is genius, being a step ahead is madness, and being four or five steps ahead is hard to say!

Li Luo doesn't judge people too one-sidedly.

For example, myself.

To outsiders, he is seen as a righteous and chivalrous person who always lends a helping hand to classmates and friends in need. To his fans, he is seen as someone who shines for his dreams and leads others to shine together.

But in private.

He is indiscriminate in indulging in wine, women, wealth, and power.

People like Jia Yueting, who can reach the forefront of the industry, cannot often be simply labeled.

Boasting is certainly impressive.

Without some real talent, the other party wouldn't have reached that level.

The fact that the other party can still live a carefree life after going abroad is extremely remarkable.

If I were the one who got scammed out of hundreds of millions or even billions, I would be in their shoes.

There's no explanation.

I would absolutely not mind spending a few hundred million more to let the other side experience the joys of America, the daily life of guns and cannons. This is no joke. That's why our brother Xi came back to hold a press conference to apologize.

Some things are left unexplained, with no private apology or explanation.

If not.

I could really kill you.

The guy in front of us can be said to be living a carefree life, and even continuing to hype up concepts, using them to create another track.

On this point alone, Mr. Jia is truly impressive.

But that's why.

Despite responding politely, Li Luo harbored the intention of never developing a close relationship with him.

Even with the Wang brothers' poor reputation, he was never hesitant to cooperate with them. But the issue with this guy wasn't about his reputation; it was mainly about how he helped the other party accumulate their first pot of gold and then get the video website Leshi listed on the stock exchange.

Inside.

They all have a flavor that is hard to describe or explain.

There are many video websites now, such as Youku, Tudou, 6rooms, and Ku6. No matter which one you pick out, in terms of market size and brand awareness, they all crush Lexi.

Can be biased.

Leishi has taken the lead in listing on the A-share market!
The waters inside are too deep; it's not worth getting involved.

This guy's methods are too clever; he might dig a pit for himself to fall into at any time.

They knew there was danger.

Moreover, it is a danger that cannot be controlled.

At this point, what you should do is keep your distance.

He turned around with a smile.

Li Luo strode forward across the lawn, then swung his club heavily in the bright sunshine, watching the golf ball soar into the blue sky and white clouds.

The sun sets.

Sun Haiying, who was busy attending events, was caught by reporters.

He kept calling the movie "cutie" and thanking Teacher Sun for helping promote it, and finally added that he deserved credit for the box office success of "Painted Skin".

His face first turned deathly pale, then flushed red under the astonished gazes of the reporters.

The mouth moves.

But Sun Haiying didn't utter a single word.

His figure swayed back and forth.

Just as he was about to fall to the ground, his assistant hurriedly helped him up, and he quickly hid backstage amidst the frantic pursuit of reporters, creating complete chaos.

On Li Luo's side.

The emergence of Jia Yueting was merely the beginning of a new chapter.

As the film's box office successfully surpassed 300 million, Lin Yue received a barrage of phone calls offering various deals, not film contracts or commercial endorsements, but venture capital firms and business owners.

These people all said they didn't mean anything by it, they were just saying if possible.

I hope to invite Mr. Li out for a meal.

Lin Yue first expressed her sincere gratitude to each of them, and then tactfully said that President Li was quite busy recently and could not spare the time for the time being, and asked for their understanding.

Those people also expressed their understanding and congratulated "Painted Skin" on its record-breaking box office performance.

hang up the phone.

Lin Yue smiled and shook her head.

She knew exactly what these people wanted to do. To put it simply, they wanted to give money to Xinghuo Films. Of course, they wouldn't give money away for nothing; they would exchange it for shares.

Despite being a relatively new company, Xinghuo Films has achieved remarkable results!

Relevant financial reports.

Of course, it won't be made public.

However, others don't even need to look at your financial statements. Just by looking at the three reports submitted by Xinghuo Films—"Rage," "My Sunshine," and "Painted Skin"—they can tell you how well the company is doing.

Describing them as unicorns might be an exaggeration, but they are definitely companies worth investing heavily in.

As long as we can maintain this momentum.

Let's think of another way.

To take it public.

Those who place bets in advance will all make a fortune.

However, Lin Yue vaguely felt that these people's wishes were very unlikely to be fulfilled. Although they had never discussed that kind of thing, she could sense that Li Luo had absolutely no interest in Xinghuo Films' listing.

Has anything changed since then?

Not sure.

At least so far, the other party has never mentioned a single word about it.

What the other party relies on.

Xinghuo Films now has a cash flow that is more terrifying than many listed companies, and this money can completely cope with the company's current expansion.

While going public can help a company grow rapidly, if its prospects are good, that's true.

Their net worth will also increase rapidly.

From hundreds of millions.

It quickly expanded to billions.

This is something many people dream of, and something countless entrepreneurs are fascinated by. It represents both fame and fortune; one can achieve financial freedom simply by reselling some shares.

But their own boss has no shortage of either.

There is no shortage of financing channels.

If the projects being developed by Xinghuo Films were to be announced now, countless investors would be eager to join in.

Ultimately, their net worth skyrocketed, and they achieved financial freedom.

Regarding this part.
Looking at the 20 million yuan commercial endorsement offer in front of her, Lin Yue smiled and casually closed the box. To be honest, she had no intention of pushing the company to go public. In the current situation, it would do more harm than good.

The company's financial data, business plans, and strategic changes must be published regularly.

Audit, legal, and consulting costs have increased.

Control and decision-making power can be subject to the impact and manipulation of capital. For those who have sufficient confidence and pursue absolute freedom and control, going public is just one option.

Rather than a mandatory option.

"Hey."

Picking up the phone, Lin Yue dialed the number for the film and television production department: "Send out the audition requirements for 'The Legend of Zhen Huan,' covering all major talent agencies and film and television schools. The audition process will officially begin in three days."

"that's it."

With a click, the phone call ended.

Central Academy of Drama.

He was playing with a basketball.

Chen Xiao walked casually toward the dormitory.

The sound of hurried footsteps behind him drew his attention. He turned around blankly and found several familiar junior brothers running wildly.

"Senior brother."

Someone hesitated slightly, but still slowed down and shouted urgently to Chen Xiao, "Hurry up and go to the bulletin board! The audition notices for 'Empresses in the Palace' are out! There might be a suitable role!!!"

Leave a word behind.

The guy continued running forward in a hurry.

The Legend of Zhen Huan.

Chen Xiao muttered to himself.

But the next moment, it was as if his mind had been struck by lightning.

With a total investment of 1.5 million RMB, the film was produced by Xinghuo Film and Television and Changsheng Film and Television, and directed by the famous director Zheng Xiaolong. In order to film this movie, a film and television city was even built in Tonglu.

the most important is.

Li Luo from Beijing Film Academy is the male lead in this drama!
The most popular actor in China right now.

none of them.

"wait for me!"

Chen Xiao jumped three feet high, grabbed the basketball, and ran after his junior in the direction he had left.

Play.

When Lin Gengxin arrived at the classroom door, he found that all the students in the class had gathered together, and various excited discussions were buzzing around them.

"what happened?"

He patted the threshold and asked in a loud, casual tone.

"Lin Gou!"

Someone turned around and waved excitedly, "Come over here quickly, you might want to try this role!"

"Cut~"

With a sneer, Lin Gengxin rolled her eyes and said, "Try it, try it all. You're making me try them all by myself? It's not like we can go out and get acting roles right now. You guys have nothing better to do, do you?"

"The Legend of Zhen Huan!!!"

His roommate didn't even turn around, and fiercely raised his middle finger: "If you're so tough, why don't you come and see for yourself!"

Under normal circumstances, first- and second-year university students are not allowed to take on acting roles outside of university.

Since it's considered normal.

Therefore, there must be exceptions.

If there is an opportunity to perform in an important role or an excellent script, the school leaders will make an exception. It's obvious that "Empresses in the Palace" is definitely a special case; many people would kill for such a role.

He was stunned for less than a second.

Lin Gengxin lunged forward as if electrocuted, grabbed someone's shoulder, and stared wide-eyed at the casting requirements.

The Central Academy of Drama and the Shanghai Theatre Academy are bustling with activity.

Nortel.

Naturally, it is no exception.

The casting requirements of Xinghuo Film and Television, once released, swept through most of the entertainment industry like a hurricane, causing a stir among countless people. Their eyes gleamed, and their breaths became incredibly eager.
