Chapter 170: New Drama Starts Broadcasting

~14 min read 2,603 words

Leaving behind a sentence with an unclear meaning.

Just like when they came, Wang Fei and Xiang Naying left Zhuozhou quietly.

Not leaving a trace.

Not quite.

At least they ruined one of his T-shirts.

But he won a total of 840,000 playing cards, bought a 150,000 gift for Gao Yuanyuan, and finally lost 60,000; back and forth, he still had 630,000 left, just like taking on a drama!

But this kind of money couldn't be calculated carefully; it came from the gambling table and went to the gambling table.

Who knew when it would be lost.

This sentence left by Wang Fei made Li Luo explain for a long time, but the more he explained, the more excited Gao Yuanyuan became.

He soon realized.

Any explanation was fake; to put it bluntly, she just wanted a beating.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around.

He slapped Gao Yuanyuan's buttocks hard, and this restless little woman immediately became obedient and didn't dare to act up again!

He had the heart to contact Wang Fei.

But after playing cards for a few days, he forgot to ask for her phone number.

And he couldn't ask Gao Yuanyuan for it.

So he had to let it go.

After one night, many things returned to their original state. Filming proceeded step by step, and Jia Jingwen continued her eccentric appearance, only occasionally daydreaming on set.

There were also some things that had changed significantly.

Li Luo wandered between Bian Xiaoxiao and Gao Yuanyuan, living a happy and very happy life.

Getting some attribute rewards from time to time.

Smiling happily every day.

Li Erpeng also encountered some inexplicable things. The feedback he had received from sending cold jokes to Wang Fei before was very good, and the two had back-and-forth chats, very happily.

But in just these few days.

Not only did the replies become fewer.

He could also feel that they had become very perfunctory.

Asking Xiang Naying for help.

Alright then.

That side seemed even more perfunctory.

A sentence about being busy with work dismissed him.

Li Erpeng was so anxious that he hurriedly asked friends in the 'Class of 61' to inquire about the situation, learning that Wang Fei was indeed busy with a temporarily adjusted concert plan, and Xiang Naying was also running commercial performances at high density.

Only then did he feel relieved.

As long as things get busy, they will be spinning around.

Like an avalanche effect.

Li Luo first filmed for a few days in the crew, then hurriedly went to participate in the Seven Wolves spokesperson press conference, appearing handsomely in a high-end custom suit, killing countless films.

Following the war of words.

This was his first appearance in public.

So without the organizer needing to invite much, quite a few reporters came to the scene.

Questions about the previous issues also came like raindrops.

But as long as it was about that aspect, Li Luo was vague about it, only answering questions about the new drama and Seven Wolves. People still had to keep their word.

At least in public.

He couldn't carry Li Erpeng and beat him again; this was also part of commercial credibility.

It is worth mentioning that quite a few fan club fans also came to support the Seven Wolves press conference. Under the waving cheering signs, naturally, there was no lack of those girls from the Yangcheng fan club.

After asking, he learned that the other party didn't even ask members to raise funds.

It was a completely self-funded act.

Li Luo didn't say anything.

During the break of the press conference, he treated them to a meal, which was considered a reward.

A simple act.

Made the girls completely satisfied.

After the press conference, on Li Luo's way back to Zhuozhou, the commercial promotion of Seven Wolves officially spread, echoing with Anta, and various human-shaped standees and advertising light boards could be seen everywhere.

His influence also spread across the country following the promotion.

Although the brand wasn't high-end.

But under the scale effect, no matter what, he could be considered a big shot!

But he didn't have time to enjoy that feeling under the spotlight. After returning to the crew, he started filming day and night. Time passed unconsciously for more than half a month, and the autumn wind became desolate.

Li Luo, who was filming in the crew, unexpectedly received a call from Li Si Lin.

*Sui Tang Ying Xiong Zhuan*.

Ready to start broadcasting.

He needed to set aside a few days to cooperate with the promotion.

This news made him almost unable to react. It had only been a little over a month since filming finished, and he hadn't expected the post-production there to be finished already, whereas *Ping Zong Xia Ying* had been finished for several months.

When it would start broadcasting.

There wasn't even a shadow of it.

The production efficiency between Hong Kong and the mainland was judged immediately. Although *Ping Zong Xia Ying* involved quite a few special effects, it was still too far behind!

Since the investor had a request, Li Luo naturally had no objections.

He agreed fully.

Starting the year with *Yi Tian Tu Long Ji* and ending with *Sui Tang Ying Xiong Zhuan*.

In this year of 2003, he would completely make a name for himself.

After inquiring, he learned.

This time, only he and Nie Yuan would participate in the promotional activities; the others were either busy or not famous enough, and the effect of driving ratings wasn't strong, so they wouldn't participate.

Although some words weren't said, Li Luo could guess it was for the sake of saving costs.

Running promotion didn't mean paying actors.

But adding up food, housing, and transportation, every extra person would add an expense. Very large promotional activities weren't something an ordinary crew could handle.

Although it was a pity that Tong Lei couldn't participate, he wouldn't point fingers at such things.

Why ask for trouble for no reason.

Next, he asked clearly about the promotional details; the scale of the activity wasn't large, just running in two or three major cities.

After finalizing the date.

Li Luo reported it to Lai Shuiqing.

Not to mention personal relationships, ordinary actors running promotion for a new drama wouldn't be stopped by the crew. Unless it was a flop drama, otherwise it would be good for the *Shen Yi Xia Lv* currently being filmed.

Busy filming, busy promoting.

Running back and forth between several cities, and continuing to film, this period passed incomparably fulfilling.

Between the flow of day and night, it quietly arrived at October 10th.

The day's scenes were finished early.

After Gao Yuanyuan washed up, she walked quickly across the corridor. Before she even approached Li Luo's room, she heard a noisy sound coming from inside.

The door was wide open.

She stepped directly inside.

There were quite a few people inside: Jia Jingwen, Zhang Long, Bian Xiaoxiao, Liu Hengyu, and several young actors from the crew were all in the living room.

Playing cards slapped *pa-pa* loudly, and many people had paper strips stuck to their faces.

It was set up like a party.

But it was indeed a party. Learning that Li Luo's new drama was broadcasting tonight, several actors in the crew got together and simply came to his room to chat and play cards.

It was considered a celebration for the new drama's broadcast!

"How much longer until it broadcasts?"

Gao Yuanyuan took out a tissue to wipe her face, which had become red from the bubble bath.

In terms of appearance alone.

She definitely ranked first in the crew.

Even Jia Jingwen, the female lead, was steadily suppressed by her.

That charming appearance made several male actors, including Zhang Long, couldn't help but sneak a peek, wondering what it would be like to have intimate contact with this woman.

"Ten minutes, maybe."

Li Luo cracked a melon seed *ka-cha*.

He slammed the Big and Small Kings onto the table, successfully adding a paper strip to the faces of Jia Jingwen and Liu Hengyu respectively. The former blew air helplessly, seven or eight paper strips fluttered, and the whole person looked like a beautiful female zombie.

Making him laugh out loud.

"So confident?"

Gao Yuanyuan moved her buttocks and sat heavily beside him: "I thought you would be so nervous that you couldn't sit still."

Between the two.

Still maintaining a distance of ten-plus centimeters.

She didn't dare to lean in!

"That's right."

The actor playing Liu Xiang rubbed his big nose and sighed: "Luo-ge, you are truly calm. Every time a new drama broadcasts, I get so excited that I can't sleep."

"Staring at the TV screen with wide eyes, afraid of missing the scenes I appear in."

Except for Li Luo and Gao Yuanyuan.

The others all nodded in deep agreement.

Acting.

Didn't mean it could be broadcast.

Broadcast.

Didn't mean it could be on screen.

Especially when playing supporting roles, some scenes that were filmed with great difficulty might be cut by the editor in post-production, and then they were gone!

Even Jia Jingwen had experienced the stage of running errands.

Knowing the difficulty of it.

Compared to them, Li Luo and Gao Yuanyuan could be considered extremely smooth sailing.

"Can't help it."

Li Luo sighed and washed the cards in his hands slowly: "Who made me so handsome? I've already gotten used to this feeling of being watched by others. Putting it on TV is nothing more than having more people watch."

"You guys can't understand this kind of trouble."

Inside the living room.

Suddenly became silent.

Immediately after, Zhang Long took the lead in grabbing a pillow and throwing it at him.

Amidst Li Luo's loud laughter, pillows from the entire living room flew at him *pi-li-pa-la*. Without hitting him like this, they really couldn't stand his smug appearance.

Just as they were messing around.

The open door was knocked *dong-dong* loudly, attracting pairs of eyes to look at the door in unison.

"Hello."

The woman wearing jeans and a thin jacket took off her sunglasses, tossed her short hair, and waved at everyone: "May I ask if Yuanyuan is here? Did I disturb you guys?"

"Disturb my ass."

A figure flashed, and another dashing woman popped out, saying *pi-li-pa-la*: "Heard Li Luo's new drama is broadcasting, so I came to join the fun. You guys won't be unwelcoming, right?"

Seeing Wang Fei first was already enough to make people dumbfounded.

Now seeing Xiang Naying again.

Most people in the living room were in a state of confusion!

How did two big music stars suddenly pop out, and wasn't the person behind just arguing with Li Luo a while ago?

They felt their brains weren't enough.

They really couldn't figure out how this magic trick was performed.

"Of course welcome."

Glancing sideways at the giggling Gao Yuanyuan, Li Luo stood up and smiled: "Just didn't expect the two of you to appear suddenly. Please come in."

Leaving behind the words to let him wait.

And then disappearing for a month, he hadn't expected a sudden visit now.

To tell the truth.

He also felt a bit surprised.

And looking at Gao Yuanyuan's expression, she definitely knew they were coming, just playing a sudden surprise on himself!

Now that people were here, surface work still had to be done.

After all, there were so many people here.

With Li Luo taking the lead, others also stood up one after another, busy shaking hands and greeting each other. Besides the two big stars, their assistants also came along.

There weren't enough chairs in the living room, and they had to move chairs from the dining room to the side to barely sit down.

Wang Fei sat on the sofa, her gaze sweeping quickly across Li Luo's face, which was stuck with paper strips, a faint, imperceptible smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

Amidst the curious expressions of the others.

Gao Yuanyuan took the initiative to take on the matter, saying that Wang Fei and Xiang Naying had come to visit her set, and knowing Li Luo's new drama was broadcasting, they simply came together to join the fun.

Everyone showed an expression of sudden realization.

Some people looked at Wang Fei with a bit of excitement.

The other party had become explosively popular in 1992 with the song *The Woman Who Is Easily Hurt*. Among so many people present, very few hadn't heard her songs.

Now her face was made up with exquisite makeup, and her every gesture was full of superstar style.

Her appearance wasn't very beautiful.

Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen could easily suppress her, but Wang Fei's aura added a lot of charm to her. To tell the truth, people without enough confidence felt pressure just sitting beside her.

At least Bian Xiaoxiao was like this; she looked left and right.

Very restless.

Others weren't much better.

Wang Fei was a singer, that was true, but she could also be considered a person in the film and television circle. Although she didn't have many works, beating them up was absolutely no problem.

*Chungking Express*, *Summer Holiday*, *Tianxia Wushuang*.

Collaborating with famous directors.

The actors she acted with were also top-tier stars in the Hong Kong circle: Tony Leung Ka-fai, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Takeshi Kaneshiro—which one wasn't a big-shot figure? These people forcibly lifted Wang Fei into a movie star.

Only Zhang Long didn't care.

Others felt a trace of pressure more or less.

In just this short while, the originally lively living room atmosphere became a bit cold.

"Why are you all just standing there stunned?"

"Why are you all stunned?"

Li Luo took off the paper strip stuck to his forehead and shook the Anta T-shirt on his body: "Xiao Yu, go get a few bottles of red wine. If there aren't enough cups, use disposable ones. It's rare for everyone to be here."

"Everyone have two cups to celebrate my new drama broadcasting."

The main person spoke.

The atmosphere at the scene soon became active.

Wang Fei looked at Li Luo's action of shaking his clothes, her jaw suddenly bit down hard, and her cold aura disappeared completely.

Red wine was poured one after another.

With Xiang Naying and Jia Jingwen here, it was destined not to be cold.

After a round of words congratulating Li Luo, they sipped the red wine in their cups one after another.

Just at this moment.

A brisk drumbeat came from the TV.

This movement.

Attracted everyone's gaze.

The opening was the scene of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, with teams of soldiers rushing out holding spears, looking quite magnificent. After a few war scenes, a giant dragon rose on the screen.

The five big characters *Sui Tang Ying Xiong Zhuan* also emerged.

The screen flashed.

Li Luo, wearing Yanyan armor and holding a golden mace, rode a black horse and rushed out of the city wall gate tunnel aggressively.

To highlight the protagonist's status.

Immediately, a close-up was given to him.

This heroic appearance was something Wang Fei had never come into contact with; she secretly glanced at Li Luo and then focused her attention on the TV screen.

Following the music, Tong Lei's face also flashed by on the TV.

"One step, eight directions flat."

"Time passes easily."

In the thick theme song, Li Luo looked steadily at the familiar scenes on the TV, his fingers gripping the sofa tightly; he was far from as indifferent as he appeared.

As long as this TV series was broadcast.
