Huayu, can you be called the best actor if you don’t indulge yourself? - Chapter 481 Dancing Solo

Everyone at the main table looked at Li Luo blankly. Is the leading male role something worthless now? Is it necessary to just pick up a wine glass and throw away a leading male role?

Could you please consider everyone's feelings?

Heart attack.

Can you afford it!!!

Wang Zhonglei was the first to react. He squinted his eyes and looked at his artist: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and thank Luo Ge!"

Don't think that he is always laughing and joking with Li Luo.

After all, he is a big boss, and the two words "Huayi" are now a well-known golden signboard.

Get serious.

"Thank you Luo Ge."

Zhu Yawen didn't care that he had scenes to shoot in the afternoon. He swiftly grabbed the wine dispenser not far away, stood up and raised his hands to Li Luo: "Thank you for your care, senior. Everything is in the wine."

He looks strong and does things in a generous manner.

Under everyone's gaze, Zhu Yawen bit his back teeth hard and brought the wine dispenser directly to his mouth.

He swallowed it down his throat with a gulp.

Arms raised.

The inverted wine dispenser does not spill a drop of wine.

Li Luo smiled, he also picked up the small wine cup in his hand, and sipped the thatched grapes into his mouth.

It was not until then that the cheers began to rang out.

Although Li Luo sat firmly in the chair and drank only 0.2 taels of white wine, no one had any objection to it. Instead, they looked at him with fiery eyes and clapped their hands loudly.

What a joke.

I don’t know how many people wanted to drink Zhu Yawen’s pot of Moutai.

But not everyone can handle it.

Although no one knows why he gave up the leading role, making a TV series would cost at least hundreds of millions of dollars. Zhu Yawen offered this glass of wine just to express his gratitude.

Even if he doesn't want a penny of remuneration, he still owes a favor to a big man.

To put it bluntly, it's very simple.

Although he has starred in several TV series, it is not yet the time for him to carry the ratings. Now any drama that invites him to play the leading role is just promoting him.

Everyone here knows this, and Zhu Yawen himself knows this very well.

If he hadn't considered the company's reaction, he would have immediately stated that he didn't want a penny of remuneration.

Compared to fame.

That is not the main source of income for actors. Advertising endorsements and commercial performances are where the real big money is made. If you want to make money in those areas, you must have works to support them.

Seeing Li Luo drink the glass of wine, Zhu Yawen was ecstatic.

Not only did his new drama in which he will play the male lead for the first time start filming today, but he also unexpectedly got the opportunity to play the leading male role.

It was simply a double happiness.

After expressing his thanks again and again, he held onto the table and sat down.

If he had not retained some rationality, Zhu Yawen would have been unable to resist asking what the new play was. But now anyone can ask except him, Zhu Yawen. Otherwise, he would be greedy while having the best fortune.

The way he eats is so ugly.

But he wasn't the only one who was curious.

Wang Zhonglei raised his glass formally to express his gratitude. After the glass was empty, he asked curiously, "Why haven't I heard about any recent production plans of Xinghuo Films? What kind of TV series are they about?"

As Zhu Yawen's boss, he should express his gratitude solemnly.

In addition to the promise he had made to Wang Baoqiang before, Li Luo had already given the two male protagonists artists under his own company.

Although there is some coincidence involved.

He would feel bad if he didn't express his gratitude in front of everyone. As for the film remuneration, he couldn't even bring it up. He would just settle it privately later. It would be embarrassing to eat and take it all.

Ask about the new play.

Now it can't be considered as taking the lead.

First of all, he is the main character. Secondly, it is not the start-up scene now, so there is no situation of stealing the limelight.

They are all industry insiders.

There is a natural interest in this kind of thing.

“I’m writing the script.”

Li Luo's words made everyone confused, but he happily picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of snow-white fish meat: "But the funds have been found, and we have set up a plan with Changsheng Film and Television. The estimated investment is about 25 million."

Chewing the tender fish meat carefully, he looked around with a smile: "It's a period drama, with some elements of treasure appraisal and business war."

"I've been pretty busy lately."

"I guess I won't be idle for the next period of time!"

"When I was writing the script, I thought of my junior's image in the stage play at school, and I felt that he was quite suitable, so I came here specially today to make an appointment with junior Yawen in advance."

Thirty million in production costs.

It made everyone swallow their saliva.

Envious glances fell on Zhu Ya's red face with a tattoo. No one knew how this guy was lucky enough to have such a good senior.

Not only is the producer reliable, it is also a big production.

Even though Zhu Yawen was already red-faced from drinking, and he didn't know when Luo Ge had ever seen the stage play he had performed, it didn't stop him from gritting his teeth and grabbing half a pot of Moutai.

"Okay, okay."

Li Luo knocked on the table, smiled and waved his hand, saying: "There is only so much wine, and you drank it all by yourself, why should we eat!"

"Hahaha."

Wang Zhonglei shook his head regretfully. He was still thinking about whether he should get involved.

I didn't expect Li Luo to move so quickly.

Not only have the funds been raised, but we have also joined forces with Changsheng Film and Television. It would be a little meaningless to talk about joining the game at this time.

This topic.

Those who had filming tasks could just taste a little, while those who didn't could drink as much as they wanted. He toasted all the crew leaders one after another, and soon Zhu Yawen slammed his head on the table.

Amidst everyone's envious laughter, the guy got drunk with happiness.

Equally happy.

And our classmate Zhang Li.

The one being called was still Sister Li.

At this moment, I felt so happy!However, after Li Luo glanced over indifferently, Zhang Li quickly suppressed her excitement and behaved very politely no matter who came to toast her.

Luo Ge was taking the toasts seriously, so I couldn't get carried away.

The drunk Zhu Yawen, the cautious Zhang Li, and Li Luo who handled the situation with ease.

He smiled and scratched his beard, but accidentally pulled off a few long hairs.

See the mottled white frost on the beard.

There was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

In response to Li Luo's toast, Zhang Zhongzhong quickly picked up the wine cup and laughed, then drank the Moutai of unknown flavor in one gulp.

After receiving the red envelopes, the reporters drove away contentedly.

The crew members of "The Soldier" were also busy. Those who needed to go on set to shoot went on set to shoot, and those who had no tasks went back to their rooms to rest. Domestic crews do not have the same work system as Hollywood.

For most people, sleeping is a luxury during this period of time.

In Wang Zhonglei's rippling smile.

After eating and drinking, it is natural to find fellow villagers to chat and discuss life ideals. If you don’t agree, go find a fellow villager yourself.

"Ding dong."

The doorbell rang crisply.

Hurried footsteps approached quickly and the door opened with a click.

"Brother Luo."

"Ah."

Pulling out a cigar from his arms, Li Luo walked in curiously: "I will be back to Beijing this afternoon. Before I leave, I came to see how you are doing. Are you used to being in the new crew?"

This is a king-size bed room.

The dressing table next to it was filled with all kinds of messy cosmetics, and the hangers were filled with all kinds of clothes. Only a black lace bra was swaying gently under the air conditioning.

The whole room was filled with a faint scent of perfume.

Seeing this clean environment, Li Luo put the cigar in his hand back into his trouser pocket.

Turned around and sat on the sofa.

Zhang Li closed the door and locked it neatly: "My colleagues in the crew are all very nice to me. Thank you Luo Ge for your concern. I will try my best to play this role well."

"Go ahead, I don't mind."

Seeing Li Luo put away his cigar, she hurried into the bathroom next door: "It's uncomfortable not to smoke a few cigarettes after drinking. I didn't expect you to come here today, Luo Ge. I'm really happy."

While they were talking, the girl brought a small half cup of tap water and placed it on the small round table.

This action.

The skirt flutters.

As she had just returned to the room, Zhang Li had not had time to change out of her costume. Now she had an exquisite hairpin on her head, her long hair fell to her waist, and a gorgeous belt was wrapped around her slender waist.

People can't help but play with it when they see it.

There is no way to completely cover up the bulge inside, and it still draws a full arc.

When she bent down to put down the cup of water, a hint of whiteness was faintly visible through her underwear.

When he saw Li Luo, his eyes lit up instantly.

"Luo Ge~"

This action.

It caused my chest to tremble.

When Li Luo couldn't help but reach out, the girl bit her lip and stepped back, smiling like the moon and said, "By the way, Luo Ge, I learned an ancient dance in the crew during this period."

"How about dancing for you?"

After receiving his nod, Zhang Li entered the bathroom again with small steps of joy, fiddling with something. Li Luo lit up a cigar.

Use the rising smoke to soothe the drunkenness.

After just one or two minutes, a soft cough from inside the bathroom drew his attention over there. He saw a pair of white feet slowly stretching out from mid-air as the noise came over.

Along with the delicate feet, slender calves also appear before our eyes.

Further back, there is the hem of the skirt fluttering along with it.

Zhang Li walked out of the bathroom with her legs raised high and suddenly appeared in front of Li Luo. After her light body stood firm, she crossed her hands and rushed upwards, her body spinning along the way.

The afternoon sun shone on each other, and the long skirt spread out like a lotus.

The skirt flutters freely.

In just a short while, the girl was left with only a long skirt.

This scene.

Let Li Luo bite the cigar hard.

The spinning figure is vaguely visible in the swirling smoke.

He leaned back in his chair comfortably.

He held the cigar between his fingers and looked at the graceful girl in front of him.

Amidst the bell-like laughter, Zhang Li, whose face was flushed from drinking, came closer with her waist-length hair swinging. As her waist softened, she leaned forward with a charming smile, and her slender fingers scraped across Li Luo's face.

At this time, the collar was wide open.

Anyone who sees it will get their blood boiling.

Biting the cigar hard, Li Luo reached his hand in like lightning, but Zhang Li had been prepared and quickly retreated with a sweet smile.Left for Li Luo.

Only a trace of warmth remains on the fingertips.

Forcing himself to suppress his impulse, he puffed on his cigar and enjoyed the dance in front of him.

Until the girl came crawling over on her knees.

Only then did Li Luo look up at the ceiling with a dim gaze and exhaled a long puff of smoke.

The visit was just a small episode.

Dull work is the daily life.

Li Luo continued to stay in the editing room.

Editing, writing scripts, and thinking about new plays, I am so busy that I stay in this small space of about ten square meters almost every day. When I feel sleepy, I go to the bathroom to take a cold shower, and when I am tired, I lie on the camp bed.

In fact, the entire film was basically edited before leaving for the Academy Awards.

All that's left to do is the finishing touches.

Received notification.

Zhang Guoli hurried to the editing room.

Although he had full confidence in Li Luo, it was his first TV series after all, so he still spent two days watching "Fall in Love with You" from beginning to end.

When the list of sponsors and cast and crew appeared, Zhang Guoli rubbed his sore eyes.

The final result was better than he expected.

The production budget of "Fall in Love with You" was close to 30 million yuan, and Zhang Guoli invested 15 million yuan in it, accounting for 30% of the profits.

It seems.

It seems very difficult to recoup the investment.

Although he only gets 30% of the profits.

But it also brought back more than 4 million.

The revenue pressure has been greatly reduced.

With the story presented in "Fall in Love with You" and the combination of Li Luo and Huang Shengyi, the sales of the film in the future will be more optimistic than I imagined.

For him, this newly edited TV series has already paid for itself.

Next.

It's all profit.

It sounds a bit exaggerated, but it's the truth.

The total production budget includes a lot of screenwriter fees, director fees and film remuneration.

He can charge less at a friendly price.

But one code equals another.

You can charge less.

After all the calculations, the money that Li Luo invested in this drama has basically returned to his pocket. No matter how it is sold in the future, he will make money. There is no revenue pressure at all.

As long as you can be at the top of the industry, making money is no longer a difficult task.

The only difference is how much you earn.

Change to another producer.

Of course, if the TV series ratings flop.

It won’t be so easy to convince advertisers for the next play!

But all this.

Currently it is just data on paper.

Confirm that the film is OK.

Li Luo and Zhang Guoli drove back to the Red Mansion and discussed the next steps with Lin Yue.

To put it bluntly, these are actually two different things.

Submit for review and sell the film!What we are pursuing is definitely not to make back the investment, we make movies for the purpose of making money.

The revenue of video websites is now almost zero.

You can just ignore it.

In order to sell ordinary TV series, one either has to participate in TV drama trade shows or use personal relationships to do so.

Selling a program does not mean it can be broadcast.

Maybe it will rot.

There was no chance of broadcasting that day.

Most of the dramas that show private transactions and secret profit transfers are included here. People are not stupid, and it is often easier to carry out secret operations on these things that are not obvious.

However, those that can be broadcast actually have corresponding troubles.

It’s a payment!The payment cycle for movie box office revenue is slow, but the money can always be received. However, the payment for TV series is not only slow, but the balance can also be easily delayed.

There is nothing you can do if they don’t give it to you, but you can’t be so naive as to file a lawsuit to get it back.

Unless you don’t want to be in this industry anymore!Otherwise, the film purchasing supervisors of those TV stations will tell each other that they will not be able to sell the drama even if they beg for mercy.

Only a production company with strong connections and enough face can get through these pitfalls. This is why Li Luo has always been trying to cooperate with Zhang Guoli. He really doesn't want to get involved in those messy things.

Play dirty tricks.

Nor would they do anything with such a conspicuous drama.

That's just asking for trouble.

Secondly, the ways of buying and selling TV series have also diversified. The 4+X broadcasting model is now implemented in China, that is, a TV series is broadcast simultaneously on up to 4 satellite TV stations and X terrestrial channels.

Although the local station is not large in size.

But they can also join together to purchase.

It can not only reduce procurement costs, but also get a share of the market.

Satellite stations will not dominate the market.

For the producers of top and popular dramas.

They naturally make money however they want.

Therefore, not all TV dramas that are first broadcast on satellite stations or CCTV are top dramas. For example, The Return of the Condor Heroes, starring Li Luo, was chosen to be first broadcast on local TV stations and then sold to satellite stations.

After a closed-door meeting.

Anyway, the goods are good.

Don’t be afraid of letting others see!It is also a way to use the auction-like atmosphere to give the buyer some strength, so as to make more money when the time comes. At the very least, the repayment terms can be negotiated to be better.

These matters will be left to Zhang Guoli and Lin Yue to handle.

On connections.

On business.

Lin Yue is far better than me.

Leave professional matters to professionals, and just be responsible for filming the drama well. There is no need to take on everything.

The matter is over.

"Let's sleep for two days first."

Li Luo yawned and threw the script beside him to him: "This is the first draft of "Under the Zhengyang Gate". I have noted some of the places that I feel are not quite right. You can ask the screenwriter to focus on them."

"Please follow up on the script adaptation of "The Legend of Zhen Huan". If you have any questions, feel free to call me."

"I have to start filming next."

Zhang Guoli shook hands with Li Luo and said goodbye, and congratulated him in advance on a smooth filming.

It was tiring to be a production director before.

But the other party was directing and acting, and shot two movies back to back. After the Spring Festival, he was editing and writing scripts non-stop, and has been busy until now, and he has barely stopped, and he is about to start shooting again.

Needless to say, the level of hard work is very high.

It is reasonable and necessary to take charge of the matter.

Farewell Zhang Guoli.

Li Luo handed the script of "Lost on Journey" to Lin Yue again. There was nothing much to change in this script. He only needed to establish a budget plan based on the shooting needs and file it with the Film Bureau.

Explain things clearly.

This look.

Lin Yue felt distressed when seeing this.

Manager Lin gently helped him take off his clothes, shoes and socks, and carefully wiped his body with a wet towel before carefully closing the door and leaving.
