Chapter 221: Drama Waiting for People (Ten-Thousand-Character Chapter)

High heels stepped on the marble, making a crisp sound.

Arriving at Li Luo's side.

Lin Yue first pulled out a golf club of suitable size from the club bag, then dialed a ball out from the ball tray casually, fixed the position, and posed in a very standard posture.

Body leaning forward slightly, suit pants tightened.

Arms swinging lightly.

The golf ball rolled forward along the green fairway and fell steadily into the hole.

"Not just me."

She was very satisfied with her swing level and leaned on the club looking at Li Luo: "Including Anta and other company bosses, they all practice golf; they don't necessarily like playing this game that much."

"But if you can't fight against the entire social stratum."

"It's best to find a way to adapt to it."

"Golf, like cigars and luxury cars, is actually just an external object in my view."

The club head poked the ground lightly, and Lin Yue continued to say with a smile: "But these external objects represent a game rule; integrate into it, then you are a person willing to abide by the rules with everyone else."

"This point is very important."

Shaking her head, Manager Lin continued to dial the club: "Don't be Don Quixote."

"Practice when you have nothing to do."

Fixing the white ball position, Lin Yue adjusted her posture: "Your future is limitless; you don't want to be an object of ridicule by others when you go to play on the course with those big bosses in the future, right?"

"Sometimes going with the flow is a good thing, don't be an alien."

"Bang!"

With the last sentence falling, she swung the club fiercely, the club head hitting the white ball crisply.

The golf ball drew an afterimage.

"Boom."

After the muffled sound.

The wide curtain lifted waves.

On it, the scene of a golf course was drawn, and individual positions were marked.

"Slap~"

Lin Yue's strength and angle were controlled very well; it seemed she had put in a lot of hard work in this regard. Li Luo couldn't help but clap his hands lightly: "Good shot, hit very well."

The words she said were not without reason.

Don't you see those units, leaders like playing basketball, and young people gather on the court to mix.

Like playing badminton.

Sensible young people also hold rackets and sweat profusely.

Do they really like playing that much?

Perhaps.

But more people are just adapting to the game rules, letting themselves not become that alien.

How much benefit there is, this is hard to say.

But it definitely won't suffer a loss.

Li Luo weighed the club in his hand and continued to watch the office environment; at the entrance was the reception area, sofas and tea tables were arranged in two or three areas.

Staggered potted plants separated a good conversation space, so that two groups of strangers wouldn't come at the same time and sit in one place staring at each other awkwardly.

Two flat-panel LCD TVs were also hung on the wall.

Inside were playing scenery films.

Walking further in was the office area for company staff, with comfortable semi-open cubicles in full view.

In the back, there were temporary lounges, makeup rooms, tea rooms, etc.

After patrolling, Li Luo walked upstairs.

"Outside is my office."

Lin Yue followed behind, introducing unhurriedly: "Inside is your own, yesterday I let a professional cleaning team do a deep cleaning, it can be used directly."

In the spacious corridor, many photos were also hung.

All were promotional posters for TV series.

Lin Yue's office had a bookcase, office desk, sofa, and tea table, all fully equipped.

"Not bad."

Li Luo scanned the area with satisfaction and pointed to the corner position: "Put another green plant there, don't be afraid of spending money, we must earn money comfortably."

"Okay."

Lin Yue smiled and spread her hands: "The boss increased my treatment, I have no reason to refuse."

"Slap~"

Slapping her plump butt, Li Luo walked towards his office leisurely.

Rubbing her butt.

Manager Lin followed with full expectation.

"Whoa."

"Thank you."

"Is it necessary?"

He walked quickly to the corner and reached out to grab the gleaming object.

Holding it in his hand, he swung it with a whistling sound.

Taking another step forward, standing on the putting practice ball track, Li Luo held the brand-new golf club and swept it lightly in front; the small white ball rolled forward, soon tilting to the side.

"Very necessary!"

Seeing his clumsy technique, Lin Yue nodded seriously with a light laugh.

"No rush."

Li Luo smiled and used a little force to wrap her tightly in his arms.

After expressing his thanks properly.

He then strolled out of the room. Lin Yue, who followed behind, was in a flurry, tidying her clothes, not forgetting to roll her eyes at this guy who never forgot to mess around regardless of the time.

Putting the club into the bag, Li Luo continued to wander around the office.

Visiting some of the small decorations.

"This?"

He stopped in front of a glass cabinet.

"Honor wall."

Lin Yue smiled with her arms crossed: "It looks a bit empty and not very good; you'll have to work hard."

"It really doesn't look very good."

Li Luo put his hands in his pockets and turned to walk downstairs: "Tomorrow, bring over the honorary certificate and plaque from my Heroic Foundation, as well as the Top Ten Actor trophy; it'll at least hold up the scene."

He arrived at the first floor with a *thump-thump*.

Li Luo checked the setup one last time; all kinds of fruits and tea had to be ready.

Quite a few friends had said they would come to take a look today; since he had set up this scene, he had to make it look beautiful and couldn't have any messes on the first day.

Wang Ou wasn't idle either, running around after Wu Yu.

This place.

Was also her own company.

Taking a living allowance and receiving high-priced training, she would feel embarrassed if she didn't do some work.

When things were mostly finished, Li Luo welcomed his first guest.

Mm.

It was the park representative.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Yue greeted them to sit in the guest area.

Not long after.

Two *honks* of a horn sounded outside the door.

Li Luo walked out with high spirits again, taking on the job of opening the door to welcome guests.

"Congratulations, Li Zong."

The first to walk over was a stout figure; Wu Dun's face was full of a smiling expression just like an old fox: "Congratulations on your grand expansion; don't forget your old brother in the future!"

Behind him, Zhang Long held a large sailboat ornament.

It looked quite imposing.

"President Wu."

Li Luo stepped forward quickly, laughing as he shook his hand: "Welcome, welcome. It's just setting up an office location; I'm thin-skinned, so please don't tease me like that."

"Please, come inside."

He took the sailboat ornament and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Brother Wu and Brother Long, please come in."

"Congratulations."

Zhang Long looked at the small building in front and gave Li Luo a thumbs up: "It's set up well; you should have done this long ago."

After a few pleasantries.

Lin Yue led the two of them inside.

It was as if they had agreed upon it.

Two more cars drove over together.

Jiang Wen, accompanied by Zhou Yun, Xu Qing, and Yu Feihong, got out of the cars one after another. Li Luo hurriedly stepped forward for another round of lively greetings.

"Sister Feihong."

He first shook the former's hand and asked curiously: "Didn't you go location scouting?"

In order to prepare for the next TV drama, Yu Feihong had been busy as a bee during this period, looking for suitable actors, building the crew, etc., and spent very little time in the capital.

"Just got back this morning."

Squeezing Li Luo's hand firmly, Yu Feihong looked a bit tired: "I just finished scouting two locations and came back to rest for a while; in over a month, I have to join the crew to film a Republican-era drama."

"Take it slow."

Li Luo gave her a light hug: "There's still a year, don't be in such a rush."

For her first drama, the other party did everything herself.

Wanting to control everything.

He couldn't persuade her, so Li Luo could only let Feihong do as she pleased.

After comforting her with a few words.

Li Luo looked at Jiang Wen and smiled.

The latter also laughed and opened his arms.

But the next moment.

Li Luo took the opportunity to give Xu Qing, who was standing to the side smiling, a solid hug, which made that guy blow his beard and stare in anger; seeing this, Zhou Yun let out a crisp laugh.

"Congratulations, little brother."

Xu Qing used her arms to press firmly and whispered in Li Luo's ear: "I'm really happy for you."

Among so many people.

Only she had watched Li Luo walk step by step to where he was now.

How could she not be happy for him?

"Thank you, Sister Qing."

Patting her back, the two separated quickly.

In public.

The two still maintained a certain distance with tacit understanding.

The few people who walked into the studio one after another left Wang Ou and the others dazed; they were already shocked when they saw the flower baskets, but they didn't expect the real people to appear before their eyes, and their speech was a bit halting when greeting them.

Next, the carefree Na Ying also appeared with a gift.

Huo Xuan also joined in the fun happily.

Ma Zhongjun had already headed to Hengdian to prepare for the new drama's start, this time sending a vice president with a gift to express congratulations; the busy Zhang Jizhong was the same, having his assistant send over a painting of Mount Tai stone.

Just after sending the other party inside, another shout with a unique tone rang out from behind.

"Baoqiang!"

Seeing the guy with a mouthful of white teeth, Li Luo happily cupped his hands: "Oh my, isn't this our Golden Horse Award Best Newcomer, the future Best Actor, gracing us with his presence? Please forgive me for failing to welcome you properly."

These few sentences made Baoqiang flush red.

"Hahaha."

Li Luo grabbed him and patted his back with a *thump-thump*: "Just kidding, what are you in such a rush for? I told you that going to film *Blind Shaft* was a good opportunity. What did it feel like when you went up to receive the award?"

The Golden Horse Awards were held a few months ago, and Baoqiang successfully won Best Newcomer.

Starting his legendary path.

"I had to pee."

Wang Baoqiang recalled the feeling at the time and still couldn't stop grinning: "Man, you don't know how many people were at the scene, so many big-name stars; I didn't even dare to dream of it."

"When I was standing on the stage, I just felt like I had to pee."

"Things were going dark before my eyes."

Hearing this, Li Luo laughed again.

Filming a movie in a daze and then walking into the hall of the three major awards; indeed, whoever it was would feel dazed.

"It's good that you got the award."

He rubbed the guy's shoulder hard and continued to encourage him: "Brother Luo can't help you with much, but with this award, you'll have a much smoother time getting roles in the future; you must be able to endure loneliness."

"Don't say that."

Wang Baoqiang shook his head hurriedly and said in a rush: "Brother Luo, you've already helped me a lot. When filming *Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre*, you introduced me to many people, and I haven't been short of work since then."

"How could I ask you to help arrange roles? That would be too ungrateful!"

He couldn't get big supporting roles, but those with lines were coming one after another.

After expanding his network, Baoqiang's situation was much better than before, and he was truly grateful to Li Luo.

It's not that he had to personally help arrange roles.

For it to be called help.

Besides, during *Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre*, Li Luo also helped arrange quite a bit of work.

Later, when he was running around, he really couldn't help; he couldn't take him everywhere, and Wang Baoqiang understood this very well in his heart.

"It's good that you're not short of work."

Li Luo patted his shoulder.

"By the way, Brother Luo."

Wang Baoqiang couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, his eyes shining: "I've accepted another movie, also directed by Feng Xiaogang."

"Sha Gen?"

Li Luo blurted out.

"How did you know?"

Wang Baoqiang was stunned for a moment.

"Am I illiterate or do I not read the news?" Giving the guy a kick, Li Luo waved his hand impatiently: "Go inside and sit; we'll have a few drinks to celebrate later."

"Alright."

Baoqiang grinned from ear to ear and walked inside in a flurry.

Watching his back.

Li Luo also shook his head and smiled.

From the moment he won the Best Newcomer award, the guy's life began to counterattack.

He didn't want to help too much before because he didn't want to interfere with the guy's life trajectory; unlike Wang Ou, if Baoqiang didn't have *A World Without Thieves*, it's hard to say how he would develop in the future.

Some encounters are indispensable.

Just as he came to his senses, another shout rang out, and Li Sipin walked over in a flurry with his assistant.

"Li Zong."

Li Luo adjusted his expression and continued to move forward with a smile.

Before he could speak, his hand felt heavy.

He looked into his hand in surprise; the small box contained a golden dog, looking as beautiful as could be.

It felt heavy in his hand, and he felt wonderful inside.

"Li Zong."

Li Luo gripped the golden lump firmly in his hand and feigned a refusal: "You coming is enough, why bring such a valuable gift? This makes me feel so embarrassed!"

"It's not valuable at all."

Li Sipin was beaming and pushed his hand back firmly: "The company moving is a great joy; Li Ge should give you a big gift."

Nowadays, he was no longer the anxious person he was during *The Legend of Sui and Tang Heroes*.

After experiencing a cough that led to filming delays.

And the main actor running away halfway through.

At the time, after filming *The Legend of Sui and Tang Heroes*, Li Sipin, who was left with a headache, just hoped the drama wouldn't lose money; he didn't dare to think about anything else, and even the promotion was just a token gesture.

He didn't dare to spend too much money.

But he never expected it to explode!

And explode in a big way!

As the new drama cut through the ratings, the rebroadcast rights for *The Legend of Sui and Tang Heroes* were almost sold out, with the market performing even better than *Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre*; Li Sipin, who made a fortune, was naturally in high spirits.

He made money, and he didn't forget the great contributor.

Two days ago, he had his assistant spend over 70,000 to buy a golden dog, and today he came personally to present the big gift.

"Then thank you, Li Zong."

Weighing the golden dog, Li Luo beamed.

He was about to greet the other party to go inside when he was pulled back.

"Don't rush."

Li Sipin waved his assistant away and pulled Li Luo into a corner, asking with full expectation: "Ah Luo, you just finished filming *SPL: Sha Po Lang*, right?"

"Do you have any availability at the end of the year to play another round with Li Ge?"

"The script is being polished."

He took out a cigar and handed one to Li Luo: "The era background is still early Tang; I want to unfold it with Xue Rengui as the protagonist. Let's continue to make ancient war dramas; didn't others say our war scenes were shabby?"

"Let's make up for it in the new drama."

"I'll give you a better team, the ratings will definitely be fine."

It's the same for everyone.

As long as they have successful experience, they want to replicate it again; in fact, the effect of replication is usually quite good.

Especially in the film and television industry, regardless of the reputation of the sequel.

Making money is an extremely high probability.

Li Luo blinked and played with the cigar in his hand.

If he wasn't mistaken, the drama Li Sipin was talking about was *The Legend of Xue Rengui*; the other party's line of thinking was truly flawless, as this was another hit drama with explosive ratings, rebroadcast again and again.

The drama was definitely fine, and it could add another achievement to his record, but as for the time~

"Li Zong."

He took the cigar cutter, his expression a bit conflicted.

"Don't call me Li Zong."

Li Sipin interrupted him, trying to play the emotional card: "Li Ge treats you well, right?"

"Quite well."

Li Luo cut the cigar with a *clack*: "But."

"No 'buts'."

Li Sipin became anxious and hurriedly persuaded: "I know you have pursuits; actually, playing the same type of role is no big deal. You can absolutely rest assured about the pay!"

There are always some actors who like to challenge different roles.

Furthermore, Li Luo was already starring in movies, and Li Sipin was afraid he wouldn't want to touch this type of TV drama anymore.

"Hmm."

Li Luo nodded, agreeing deeply: "Being away from home is just like that, fill your stomach first, then talk."

Wang Ou was stunned for a moment, and took a small, careful bite of the tender beef:

"I really didn't expect you to have such feelings too."

"Everything is walked step by step."

Li Luo shrugged and smiled, gesturing with his glass to the girl.

Two simple sentences made Wang Ou feel a sense of affinity. She knew that he had also started as an extra, but she didn't expect him to still maintain his true self, unlike some people who, after succeeding, couldn't wait to wipe away everything from their past.

Under Li Luo's guidance, Wang Ou quickly became relaxed.

The pressure of facing a big star.

Also diminished a lot.

After a few sparse sentences, she told her experience along the way.

She won the championship in the Miss China-Vietnam Friendship Contest, then played a small supporting role in a TV series, which didn't make any waves, and then won fourth place and the Most Photogenic Award in a model TV contest.

At the beginning, she could still come into contact with some opportunities.

But soon it was silent again, and now she could occasionally shoot a commercial or stand at a commercial event.

Whatever work there was, she would do it.

The kind of commercials she did were completely different from Li Luo's; they were just passerby characters in short commercial films, and shooting for a day didn't earn much money; she was completely a background board.

"Take it step by step."

Li Luo picked up a skewer and took a slow bite: "You were able to get a good ranking in a beauty pageant, your foundation is still quite good. If an agency pushes you a bit, you should be able to stand out soon."

"Who knows me?"

After a few glasses of wine, Wang Ou also let go a lot, shaking her head and smiling bitterly: "Do you know how many such competitions there are in a year?"

"I wanted to sign with a company, but the problem is no one took a fancy to me."

"No way?"

Li Luo was secretly happy and asked in surprise: "You haven't signed with a company yet?"

"Too many wolves and too little meat."

Wang Ou summarized her situation in one simple sentence and introduced him to the situation at the bottom of the entertainment industry; except for the three major art colleges, newcomers from other large and small art schools emerge one after another every year.

This was just a part of it.

Just the fringe people in the Beijing entertainment circle alone numbered at least tens of thousands.

The vast majority of these people would have their dreams shattered in the entertainment industry after struggling for several years, and only a very small number of lucky ones could gain a foothold in the circle and have one or two supporting roles that could be named.

While talking, Wang Ou looked at Li Luo with envy; being able to rise to fame in just a few years like him.

Absolutely belonged to the rare few.

Newcomers emerge one after another, but the market is just this big.

The agencies Li Luo didn't want to sign with were unattainable in the eyes of many bottom-tier artists.

Being able to sign with a company.

At least represents that someone is willing to spend money to cultivate you.

And there is a chance to get resources!

"Sorry."

Wang Ou chattered on for a long time, realized she had spoken out of turn, and quickly expressed her apology: "I didn't expect Brother Luo to treat me to a late-night snack today, I was too happy and started complaining to you without realizing it."

"It's okay."

Li Luo ate the barbecue happily and waved his hand: "Everyone is out just to chat."

"I think your image is quite good."

He looked at Wang Ou again and asked out of the blue: "Any interest in coming to my studio to give it a try?"

"Bang~"

The glass slipped from her hand and fell, shattering into pieces.

White foam splashed onto her shoes, but the girl didn't notice at all, staring wide-eyed at Li Luo, looking completely incredulous.

There was no buffer at all.

And no demands for anything untoward.

He just wanted to sign her right away.

Her head was a bit dazed now, as if her ears were hallucinating.

"Boss."

Li Luo raised his arm to signal.

After the broken glass was swept away and a new glass was replaced, the girl finally managed to recover.

"Give it a try?"

Wang Ou's speech became stuttering.

"Just sign you."

Li Luo poured wine for her again.

Everyone was strangers, and today was only the second time they had met; she had thought she was the target of his hunting.

Wang Ou had also prepared herself to jump into the fire.

But she never expected that he would want to sign a contract with her right away.

"Why why?"

The girl's speech became even more stuttering, her face flushed red: "This is a bit too sudden, I can't catch my breath!!!"

Her temples were throbbing, and Wang Ou felt her vision darkening.

Her breathing became very rapid.

"Whoa!"

Seeing this, Li Luo grabbed her hand: "Calm down, take a deep breath with me, inhale, exhale."

"Hoo~"

Gripping her fingers tightly, Wang Ou exhaled a heavy breath.

Only then did her frantically beating heart become a bit calmer, but her head was still a bit dizzy.

That feeling.

Winning five million in the lottery wouldn't be much different.

"OK?"

Li Luo finally felt relieved.

"OK!"

Wang Ou indicated she was fine and let go shamefully: "Sorry, I'm really not like this usually, I was just too excited; I didn't expect you to actually want to sign me?"

Her voice was still trembling.

The girl's state at this moment was completely different from the mature, sophisticated image on TV.

"Why can't I sign you?"

Li Luo grabbed another skewer of grilled kidneys and raised his eyebrows: "Your image is quite good, you've won a beauty pageant championship, I also like your personality, and we're both from the same place."

"Just a helping hand."

"But my studio is just starting, I only confirmed the office location today."

He took a bite of the kidney and smiled embarrassedly: "And the resources I can give you at the beginning might be quite limited, I don't know if you'll look down on them."

Wang Ou blinked and nodded frantically.

It wasn't a question of whether she looked down on them; it was completely the other party giving her an opportunity.

No matter how limited the resources.

They weren't something she could reach right now.

A big pie fell from the sky; if she didn't catch it quickly, what was she waiting for?

"Thank you, Brother Luo." Wang Ou took a deep breath and said excitedly: "I'm willing to accept any conditions, one hundred percent willing. Being able to have the opportunity to learn from Brother Luo is absolutely my honor."

Grabbing the beer bottle on the side, she gritted her teeth and poured it into her mouth.

After a short while.

She had finished the entire bottle of beer.

If she didn't do this, she wouldn't know how to express her gratitude.

Not only did he not have any untoward actions, but he also gave her this opportunity straightforwardly; Wang Ou felt a wave of shame in her heart.

She had thought of Brother Luo too badly; it really shouldn't have been like that.

This is a good person!

Seeing her like this, Li Luo laughed and had a drink with her.

As long as the other party didn't have a contract in hand, such things were easy to get; even if it wasn't a famous agency, as a fringe person in the entertainment industry, who could refuse the recruitment of an A-list actor?

Let alone the unknown Wang Ou.

Even Yang Zi, who had become slightly famous relying on Home with Kids, had her family wanting to find an A-list actor to hug their thigh.

It was just that that little thought was seen through by Song Dandan at a glance.

And rejected directly.

"Very good."

Putting down his glass, Li Luo said seriously: "Since you're willing to work with me, Brother Luo naturally won't treat you badly, but all achievements are inseparable from your own efforts."

"Don't worry, I understand."

Wang Ou clenched her fists, indicating she was completely fine.

Not afraid of effort.

Just afraid of effort in the wrong direction.

With a broad road laid out in front of her, she naturally knew she had to grasp this opportunity firmly.

"Hello."

Just at this moment, two figures walked over together.

Wu Yu still had some impression of Wang Ou.

As for Lin Yue, Li Luo had communicated with her today that he would sign a newcomer for her to practice with; Manager Lin welcomed this attitude, as she also needed to become familiar with this industry from scratch.

She looked at Wang Ou curiously, not knowing how the talk went.

The other party gave her a good first impression.

Pretty was a given.

Her temperament was also quite good.

"Hello."

Wang Ou stood up quickly and shook hands with both of them.

"Manager Lin Yue, also your agent."

Li Luo waved his hand casually and introduced with a smile: "Wu Yu is my assistant, Wang Ou just agreed to become a signed artist of the studio, we're all family from now on, sit down."

The little assistant sat down nimbly.

She looked left and right with a dazed head; she knew there was an extra manager.

How did another artist come out?

"Hello, Xiao Ou."

Lin Yue touched Wang Ou's hand and sat down with a smile.

The latter was even more excited, her legs feeling a bit weak; a few hours ago she was still drowsy in the basement, worrying about the future, but she didn't expect that now she was someone with an organization!

"We'll talk about the contract tomorrow."

Li Luo looked at the excited Wang Ou and said unhurriedly: "No matter what work you took before, push it away if you can. From now on, I will help you find a formal training institution."

"Acting, lines, body, etc., all need to receive formal training for several months."

"Don't worry."

Finding that the other party looked troubled, he continued to nod and say: "The company will provide you with a certain living allowance every month, you just need to study with peace of mind, we'll talk about the specific content in detail tomorrow."

"Tonight's task is to eat well first."

As soon as this was said, a few light laughs arose.

In these few days, Li Luo actually hadn't been idle either.

It didn't matter if he didn't understand; everyone has things they don't know. If you aren't even willing to learn, then everything is in vain.

He had made many phone calls with Zhang Long.

And understood the artist training matters roughly.

So now.

He could also talk about these things in a decent way.

"Thank you, Brother Luo."

Wang Ou thanked him solemnly and raised her glass.

With a few months off, she really had the risk of not being able to afford to eat; considering such things, it seemed he really had made up his mind to cultivate her well, and she had no opinion on accepting training.

A formal artist institution should be like this.

Looking at Li Luo with sparkling eyes, she felt incomparably lucky for the decision to find a way to chat him up after finishing the dance.

Perhaps, that was the most correct decision she had ever made.

Under Li Luo's signal.

The four people cheered and clinked their glasses together crisply.

Early the next morning.

The ding-dong of the doorbell made Li Luo, who was exercising, put down the barbell.

Throwing a towel over his shoulder.

He walked towards the courtyard gate with big strides; Lin Yue wasn't home, that fellow had gone to 798 early to get busy with the studio renovation matters.

"Good morning, Brother Luo."

The courtyard gate opened, and Wang Ou, who was standing outside cautiously, greeted him quickly.

Only then did she straighten her waist.

Li Luo, drenched in sweat, made her breathing stop for a moment.

At least for now, the other party was still a big star in her heart, and this scene full of masculine aura made her heart jump wildly.

"Come in."

Looking at the faint dark circles under her eyes, Li Luo turned back and walked inside: "Didn't sleep well last night?"

"Hmm."

Wang Ou crossed the threshold, closed the courtyard gate cautiously, and replied honestly: "Too happy, I barely fell asleep until four or five o'clock. Thank you for your concern, Brother Luo, the place you live in is really beautiful."

Following him inside, she looked around with envy.

Compared to her basement, this place was like heaven.

Wherever her eyes reached.

Everything was something she didn't even dare to think about.

How much money would it take to have such a courtyard next to Shichahai!!!

"Oh?"

Li Luo turned back and asked curiously: "You don't live badly either, right? The money you earn from dancing and running commercial events should be quite a lot."

"I have to send money home."

Wang Ou was a bit embarrassed and said at a loss: "I live in a basement."

"Not safe."

It wasn't easy to ask about such things in detail, so Li Luo said casually: "The company will pay you a salary later, go back and change to a place to live today. If you're short on money, I can lend it to you privately first."

"Got it."

Wang Ou quickly declined his kindness: "I'll look for a place to rent when I go back."

She still had a few thousand yuan on her, more or less.

And there would be a stable income later.

Without worrying about having no next meal, she naturally wouldn't refuse to change to a better living environment for herself.

"By the way, Brother Luo."

She opened her bag again, took out a document, and handed it over: "This is my personal information, please take a look."

"Sit down."

During the conversation, they arrived at the living room; Li Luo wiped his sweat and took the paper.

Name, age, height, measurements.

And resume.

Everything was marked clearly on it.

There were also a few A4-sized photos, with work experience and physical information printed on the back as well.

This was equivalent to a resume.

Film crews actually have some roles that are publicly announced; agencies that get wind of it will mail headshots over, and if the casting director thinks it's suitable, they will notify the actor to come for an audition.

"Shot too poorly."

Glancing at the photos, Li Luo put them on the table casually: "They don't present your facial features well; ask a photographer to retake a set for you later."

He didn't have this stuff, and he didn't need to have it.

He skipped that stage directly.

But the other party had to have it.

Good headshots can amplify an actor's facial advantages and grab the casting director's attention immediately.

In these few photos in his hand, Wang Ou looked unremarkable.

"Okay."

Wang Ou smiled embarrassedly and sat down on the sofa to the side.

She naturally knew the importance of finding a good photographer, but she knew even better how expensive a good photographer's fees were; as an eighteenth-tier actor, let alone whether she could afford it, she couldn't even come into contact with those resources.

"Drink some tea."

Li Luo sat in the main seat, turned the teacup for her, and poured water: "The studio is still under renovation, so I'm troubling you to talk about things at my house."

"The contract is already prepared, if you have any objections, feel free to ask me at any time."

Putting the other party's information aside.

Li Luo handed over a thick management contract.

Actually, this work should have been done by Lin Yue, but now everything was in the startup stage, everyone was holding multiple positions, and the other party was also in the learning stage, so he just did it himself.

Anyway, everything would be earning money for him in the future.

Being busy didn't count for anything.

It was basically drafted according to the template given by Zhang Long, which was a very standard management contract.

The signing period was twelve years.

Almost encompassing the golden period of Wang Ou's entire acting career, and there was also a priority renewal clause.

If someone else brought such a contract for him to sign.

Li Luo would definitely throw it back in their face.

But changing to signing someone himself, if he wasn't afraid of the eating posture being too ugly, he would have wanted to make it fifteen or twenty years directly.

Anyway, there were no restrictions.

Making money!

He wouldn't feel embarrassed at all.

Wang Ou didn't say anything when she saw the years on it; signing as a newcomer was just like that, without any power to bargain, and tons of people were squeezing their heads to get such a contract.

Especially when she knew that besides Li Luo, she was the only signed artist in the company.

She couldn't be happier.

Meaning there would be more resources available.

Quickly skimming over the signing years, she continued to look down; the contract split was three-seven in the early stage, and as the signing years increased, the split would gradually improve, from four-six, five-five, to six-four.

The conditions offered could be said to be quite kind, without any intention of sucking blood frantically from her.

She was just afraid of the kind that never changed.

Working hard for more than ten years, and the company made the big money.

Gratefully looking at Li Luo, Wang Ou continued to look down; the company would issue her a living allowance of 3,500 yuan every month, a number that made her heart tremble, her fingers turning white from gripping.

This didn't exist under normal circumstances, or there wasn't that much.

Ordinary agencies.

Are all casting nets to catch fish.

The elimination rate of newcomers is extremely high, so they naturally wouldn't throw money into the water.

But Li Luo knew the other party could definitely rise, so he didn't mind spending a little money to sell a favor; from her clothes to her makeup, it could be seen that Wang Ou's economic conditions were very average, so it could be considered helping her out along the way.

Anyway, it was only 42,000 a year; after bringing her up, just shooting a commercial would be more than this amount.

When the time was right.

He would also equip her with assistants, drivers, and other full-time staff.

Hmm.

This was drawing a big cake.

Li Luo didn't even have a full-time driver now, but he purely didn't want to have one; when filming, the crew would have vehicles to pick him up, and when resting, he was either at home or at school, or looking for women.

You couldn't have a driver picking you up and dropping you off just for going to school; that would seem too ostentatious.

As for wandering between a few girls.

One had to be even more careful and cautious.

There were some things that even Wu Yu didn't know, let alone a stranger.

Further down, there were still welfare clauses.

Providing training opportunities.

And audition opportunities for film and television dramas.

And so on.

The contract naturally wouldn't promise how many dramas would be given in a year; he wouldn't dig a hole for himself like that.

Wang Ou finished reading the welfare excitedly and continued to look down.

This one Li Luo offered was a full contract; all commercial cooperation across all platforms and fields in the next twelve years would be represented by the studio, and no commercial cooperation with other companies was allowed without consent.

All kinds of items were listed densely.

There was welfare.

Naturally, there were also constraints.

Changes to skin color, hair color, and body shape all required consent from the first party.

This involved image management issues.

For example, the main artist's image was originally built on the jade girl route, but she privately got a non-mainstream look; any agency would explode on the spot.

But under normal circumstances, they wouldn't manage it that strictly.

On these details, Li Luo also added a clause about not violating public order and good customs.

Liquidated damages, this was indispensable.

You couldn't invest resources and energy to cultivate someone, and then let the other party pat their butt and leave; such stupid things couldn't be done.

Spending more than ten minutes reading the contract.

The restrictive clauses were very harsh, but the conditions given were also very kind.

There was no such thing as exploitation.

Everyone could be considered a win-win.

Actually, even if it wasn't a win-win, there was no other way; even if Li Luo offered harsher split conditions, she, having no second choice, could only sign, as there weren't that many opportunities for her to pick and choose.

But now, this contract made her sign even more willingly.

With gratitude!

Asking a few questions about the parts she didn't understand, Wang Ou nodded with satisfaction.

"Don't rush."

Seeing her pick up the pen, Li Luo reminded: "This is related to your life for the next ten-plus years, take the contract back first, find a lawyer to take a look, don't rush to make a decision."

"Okay."

Hesitating slightly, Wang Ou put down the pen cautiously.

And smiled embarrassedly again.

"No need for this."

Li Luo poured her a cup of tea and said calmly: "Actually, in my view, everyone is in a cooperative relationship; I like win-win in business, everyone being happy can last long."

"After getting along for a long time, you'll find that I'm very easy to talk to."

"Don't be reserved."

"We're friends from now on!"

Wang Ou didn't speak; she picked up the pen again and signed her name on the contract with a swoosh.

After a while.

She threw the pen to the side with a clatter.

"Brother Luo."

The girl reached out her hand and said with a firm tone: "To be honest, I don't know what you saw in me, but now you've given me this opportunity, an incomparably important opportunity for me."

"I can't be wishy-washy in doing things, I'll leave it to you from now on."

"Good!"

Dumbfounded, Li Luo gripped her hand heavily.

Holding the first cornucopia.

Firmly in his grasp. ===== CHAPTER 220 =====

As for appearance.

Everyone is actually about the same.

Calculating this, Huang Xiaoming pursed his lips firmly.

He had analyzed all his competitors; the threat brought by this junior was the greatest, and now he could only rely on his own acting skills and lowering his pay to gain an advantage!

Exhaling lightly, a faint smile appeared on his face.

These two groups of people.

Soon attracted the attention of the reporters present.

"Li Luo!!!"

"Huang Xiaoming!"

Two successive exclamations rang out, and the twenty or thirty reporters guarding the hotel entrance hesitated for less than a second before instantly splitting into two waves, one large and one small.

Swarming toward them.
