Entertainment News: I'm Not a Scumbag After Rebirth!

Chapter 61 Using Underhanded Methods

Feng Ke stopped Li Jun from speaking in alarm.

He was afraid he would fall for him, so he quickly stopped him.

"Five hundred thousand, that's all."

Feng Ke insisted.

"OK."

To everyone's surprise, Li Jun didn't haggle and agreed immediately, fearing that Feng Ke would run away.

Feng Ke knew he had been tricked again; the kid had no good intentions at all.

Five hundred thousand is a huge sum of money, and it's something Feng Ke has been saving for a long time.

"I've helped you find a house and invested in you; I really regret meeting you now."

Feng Ke looked dejected, on the verge of tears.

Li Jun patted his shoulder reassuringly. Yes, if Li Jun encountered someone like himself, he would also feel helpless, but unfortunately, that's who he is.

Actually, Feng Ke wasn't stupid. He gave Feng Ke a percentage-based commission, so as long as Feng Ke invested money, he would get paid.

He promised that he would receive at least one-fifth of the money invested by Feng Ke, and that as long as Li Jun could achieve a box office of three million, he would break even after deducting miscellaneous expenses.

Feng Ke had some confidence in him. He believed that Li Jun was not the kind of person who would invest on a whim; he must have something to offer.

Moreover, Li Jun also holds the royalties from a song, "Yangwang," and he also has the copyright fees from his original song "Bauhinia." Even if this song loses money, he can quickly earn it back.

Li Jun doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do something unethical.

Thinking of this, Feng Ke shrank his neck and looked at Li Jun. It seemed that this guy had tricked him quite a few times.

Li Jun looked at him with clear eyes, as if to prove that he was harmless.

He nodded sincerely to Feng Ke, but little did he know that this would send a chill down Feng Ke's spine.

Li Jun estimated that a budget of 1.5 million should be enough to shoot the show. Feng Ke lent him 500,000, but what about the remaining 1 million? He then set his sights on Huayi Brothers.

However, this time he will rely on his own strength.

He wants to prove himself by selling royalties!

Selling it for a million in royalties...

Li Jun felt a little guilty; this was an exorbitant price, and he had practically asked for the moon.

He wanted to make some arrangements first, to give Huayi a heads-up.

As for the strategy he mentioned, it involved hiring online trolls to post spam messages.

What is the value of Li Jun's new song "Looking Up at the Net"?

million!

A new song with "million" royalties

......

Titles like these keep popping up everywhere.

Li Jun had no choice but to give the Huayi Brothers a psychological expectation.

For example, what would they think when they saw that the manuscript fee was one million?

Li Jun must have gone mad.

But if he later asks for a million in royalties for two songs, then maybe there will be a chance.

He is well-versed in a negotiation principle.

When you want to open a window, you can ask to have the roof lifted, and then others will grant your request to open the window.

Just like when he negotiated with Feng Ke, he first proposed an outrageous price, and then lowered it.

The same goes for Huayi, but I can't say it out loud.

Rather, it's in the public's perception.

Most people don't understand the concept of royalties, and for songs like Li Jun's that are widely circulated, they might feel that the royalties are too low.

Actually, this is just royalties; the copyright still belongs to him. It's just that the operator takes it away for promotion.

Therefore, public opinion will guide Huayi forward, and even if the price is lower, it won't be much lower.

If it's too low, Li Jun will say something.

"You look down on me?! People online know more than you."

If Huayi were to say:

"Go talk business with people online."

Li Jun would immediately sit down obediently, but he guessed Hua Yi wouldn't.

After all, this company still cares about its reputation, so I'll just play the rogue.

He can't stop now; he's starting a company to release movies, constantly running around.

In the afternoon, Li Jun first went to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to submit the company registration application, and then accompanied Zhang Liangying to a rehearsal.

Long Danni personally stepped up to support Zhang Liangying, clearly placing high hopes on her. She hopes Zhang Liangying can win the championship, helping her secure a more stable position within the company.

That evening, I went to Tang Yan's place to write the script again, and I felt a bit dazed.

Tang Yan could tell he was uncomfortable, so she thoughtfully prepared a loving dinner for him.

A pink plate held steaming hot noodles, topped with a soft-boiled egg. Li Jun took a bite and the yolk was still flowing inside.

Li Jun was enjoying Tang Yan's cooking with great relish when a light, airy arm wrapped around his neck, and Tang Yan's soft body pressed against him.

"When I was little, my mom would hug me like this whenever I was sad."

Tang Yan spoke gently, each word deliberate and earnest.

Li Jun embraced Tang Yan's soft body:

"Actually, I have a better way to relieve stress."

Li Jun threw her onto the bed and licked his upper and lower lips with his tongue.

His lecherous look startled Tang Yan, who hugged herself tightly and stared at Li Jun in terror.

With a pair of bright, watery eyes fixed on Li Jun, Tang Yan stood frozen in place like a little white rabbit with nowhere to run, not daring to resist.

Li Jun was not about to let her go; he waved his large hands repeatedly, arousing her endless fantasies.

"No, no, we're not officially a couple yet. No, we're not married yet."

Tang Yan gently pushed Li Jun, but was reluctant to use too much force.

To her surprise, Li Jun looked at her with a puzzled expression and covered her with the blanket.

You're disturbing my meal.

Tang Yan was somewhat bewildered by Li Jun's sudden transformation into a saint; she even thought that Li Jun had been transported from a novel.

How come you've changed so much?

He didn't intend to do anything; he was just being cheeky and trying to scare Tang Yan.

Li Jun quickly slurped up his noodles and then sat down at the table to start working on his script.

Tang Yan curiously leaned her head closer, but then pulled it back.

It's so difficult, I don't understand it.

Tang Yan returned to her little bed. The emotional drama written by Li Jun was somewhat complicated, exceeding the scope of any script she had ever taken on.

"Little Tang Yan, come here."

Li Jun beckoned Tang Yan over and helped her study the first half of his writing.

He asked Tang Yan to get into character and see if he had the right feeling.

The drama "Love is Not Blind" is quite suitable for Tang Yan, a naive and sweet girl, to play, because the main character is a silly girl who is betrayed.

Tang Yan gets into character very quickly; she has a natural talent for acting, and she quickly brought out the essence of the role.

She knew what she was doing and was very dedicated, hoping to help Li Jun.

"Great! Tang Yan, you'll be the one to play this role."

Li Jun clapped his hands excitedly, insisting that Tang Yan should play the role.

"what?"

Tang Yan looked at Li Jun with confusion. Although she loved acting and hoped to have a chance to appear on screen, she was also afraid that she would ruin Li Jun's life.

Li Jun nodded firmly, leaving no room for Tang Yan to refuse.
