Chapter 224: Stars Take You to Visit the Set (Ten-Thousand-Character Chapter)

After this trip.

Very inexplicably, he had tamed the other party.

After staying in Shanghai for two days.

Li Luo boarded the plane feeling refreshed, leaving the listless Fan Xiaopang to continue filming at the film and television base.

Between rising and falling.

He brought his little assistant to Hengdian World Studios again.

*The Proud Twins* and *Qin Wang Li Shimin* (Emperor Li Shimin of Qin) were both in full swing here.

Li Luo was like an unemployed person; he didn't care about the casting rumors that were making a huge noise on the internet, and sat in a car leisurely, heading straight to the filming site of *The Proud Twins* located in the suburbs.

This was also a co-production between the two sides of the strait.

With Hong Kong director Wong Jing as the producer, it gathered many powerful actors.

This TV drama, like *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*, belonged to a big production that was highly anticipated this year.

Li Luo's arrival.

Also triggered quite a bit of attention.

The person wasn't the point; the point was that under Fan Xiaopang's reminder, he brought a truckload of fruit to visit the set this time, making a group of staff members laugh until their flowers bloomed.

He walked straight inside.

Wu Yu was responsible for distributing, making the scene lively.

Voices of gratitude to "Brother Luo" rang out incessantly.

However, wherever he went, many mainland staff members in the production team looked at him, and the strange degree of their gazes made him feel very inexplicable—did he grow more handsome again!

This place was located in the wilderness.

Beside it were several mounds; in the summer season, it should have made people feel unbearably hot.

But the scene ahead.

Made people feel a coolness psychologically.

Not only the ground, but even the mountain slopes behind were sprinkled with a thick layer of fake snow; it looked like they were filming a winter scene, and a white skirt was dancing with the snowflakes ahead.

Huang Shengyi, holding a Japanese sword and wearing Japanese attire, was posing for a series of sword-swinging and slashing movements under the guidance of the martial arts coordinator.

This coolness was only in appearance.

The other party's face was covered in sweat, and her little face was flushed red from the heat.

There were no acquaintances here.

Unlike *The Young Justice Bao* production team, which was invested in by Ma Zhongjun and could be arranged directly for someone to pick him up, he could only contact Huang Shengyi in *The Proud Twins* production team and have her arrange for someone to come.

After thanking Huang Shengyi's assistant, Li Luo stood aside with his arms crossed.

His gaze collided with the guy sitting not far away again. Both of them revealed fake smiles.

And turned their heads simultaneously.

Since the war of words, this wasn't the first time he had met Li Erpeng.

Everyone belonged to a state of maintaining peace on the surface, but greetings were spared.

Also wearing Japanese clothing, Li Erpeng shook his hair and sat firmly on the chair. Zhou Xun had naturally shown off to him about what happened a few days ago, and upon learning that they were going to ruin Li Luo's audition.

He felt secretly happy in his heart.

No matter what, he could vent some of the previous anger.

"Okay."

Under the shouting of the loudspeaker, Huang Shengyi put away her sword breathlessly.

"Li Luo."

When she saw the guy waving at her, she immediately walked over happily: "I thought you would stay in the capital to prepare for the audition. Come, I'll introduce you to the people in the production team."

Coming to visit the set, greeting was a matter of course.

Of course.

Huang Shengyi wouldn't be stupid enough to take Li Luo to greet Li Erpeng.

Under her excited greeting.

The two walked forward side by side.

"This outfit of yours."

Looking at Huang Shengyi in plain white clothes, Li Luo couldn't help but complain: "You look like a Japanese woman, even the hairstyle is the same."

"The character is originally a Japanese woman."

Huang Shengyi didn't care either, carrying the prop sword and explaining: "It's normal to have such an outfit; it's just that wearing this kind of costume in summer is truly too uncomfortable; my whole body is soaked!"

"Soaked everywhere?"

Li Luo laughed lightly, turning into a curious baby.

"Hateful."

Huang Shengyi hit him with the prop sword.

"There's one thing."

Li Luo nudged his chin toward the surroundings, asking in confusion: "Why are they all looking at me like this?"

Staff members around pointed at him from time to time.

In their eyes.

However, there was a hint of playfulness.

"You don't know?"

Huang Shengyi slowed her footsteps, and her face was also a bit strange: "Well, you were in school before. Li Erpeng accidentally injured his leg again while filming a while ago!"

"And he rested for a long time. I guess they all treat you as a 'broom star' (jinx)."

Hearing this, Li Luo couldn't help but laugh.

He turned his head again and looked in the direction of Li Erpeng.

During the war of words before, he had instructed the other party to exercise well and not to be injured or broken all the time.

He didn't expect it to really come true!

"Mr. Kurata."

Huang Shengyi stopped her footsteps, looked at a man with a firm face with a smile, and introduced: "This is Li Luo, my college classmate. He is also an actor, here to visit the set today."

"Oh~~~"

The man dragged a long tone and hurriedly bowed to Li Luo: "Konnichiwa, very happy to meet Mr. Li Luo."

The tone was very strange; it was a Japanese person at first listen.

This skillful bowing skill couldn't be practiced without day-by-day accumulation.

"Hello, Mr. Kurata."

Li Luo smiled and shook hands with the other party lightly.

He recognized this man with a firm face at a glance; although he didn't know his name, he had watched Jet Li's *Fist of Legend*, and the other party played the highly skilled Black Dragon Society chief instructor.

That blindfolded fight with Jet Li was regarded as a classic by countless people.

After a simple greeting, he welcomed the next person.

The other party was short.

With a kind face.

But his status was very unusual.

Several martial arts instructors he had collaborated with were all from the other party's sect.

"Hello, Professor Xiaodong."

Without Huang Shengyi's introduction, he took the initiative to nod and express his respect: "I am Li Luo. Professor Yuan, Professor Ma, and Professor Zhao have all mentioned you. Very happy to meet Professor Xiaodong."

A bunch of "professors" were thrown out, confusing Cheng Xiaodong.

"Li Luo."

He suddenly realized and extended his hand, patting Li Luo's shoulder: "There are not a few people who mention you. These muscles are truly strong; one look and I know your skills are not bad. When shall we collaborate?"

Among the martial arts circle.

Li Luo's reputation was very good.

After all, regarding that incident before, under Yuan Bin's lead, many martial arts instructors stood up to express dissatisfaction with Li Erpeng.

Well, although there is cooperation now.

But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, it doesn't delay making money.

Laughing heartily, Li Luo exchanged a few polite words with the other party before continuing to greet the director of the production team; he didn't see that fat guy Wong Jing present, which was a bit of a pity.

Don't look at him as looking wretched.

But Wong Jing was a very talented person.

Turning around with Huang Shengyi, he saw many familiar faces.

Li Luo followed her and sat down in the rest area. Their actions were all generous; it was perfectly normal for a classmate to come to visit the set, so there was no need to worry about others guessing messy things.

"How is it?"

Looking at the girl with a flushed face, he asked with a smile: "This should be your first drama with martial arts scenes, how does it feel?"

"Tired."

Huang Shengyi stuck out her tongue and wrinkled her little face: "Tired and hot. Hanging on the wire made my waist blue, and Professor Cheng's requirements are strict; sometimes one shot takes two or three hours."

"I don't know how you manage to enjoy it."

When visiting the set before, she always felt that Li Luo did those movements easily.

But after changing to herself.

Huang Shengyi felt miserable.

This wire hanging, to be honest, sometimes she wanted to cry.

If it weren't for so many people around, she would have really thrown herself into Li Luo's arms and cried to him!

"Get used to it."

Li Luo smiled and extended his palm: "It's okay to be a bit tired now. Think about it, after the TV show airs, you will look beautiful on the screen; all of this is worth it—"

As Huang Shengyi's hand retracted lightning-fast, his words also came to an abrupt end.

"Xiao Lin."

The girl looked at her assistant: "Go and help Brother Luo get a bottle of water."

The assistant nodded.

Got up and walked toward the distance.

"Sorry."

Huang Shengyi shook her head slightly, her expression very apologetic: "My agency contract has a 'dating clause'; I can't have overly ambiguous contact with the opposite sex in public, otherwise I will be held accountable."

"This assistant is from Starry Night."

Speaking of this.

Li Luo also understood in seconds!

To ensure constraints on artists, it was very normal for strange clauses to appear in contracts.

From the image in *Kung Fu*.

It could be seen that Starry Night wanted to build Huang Shengyi along the route of a pure jade girl; it was not surprising to have a dating clause, and the assistant sent by the company assuming a certain supervisory duty was actually perfectly normal.

"Hmm~"

He withdrew his hand in embarrassment and snorted.

"Don't be angry."

Afraid that Li Luo would be dissatisfied, Huang Shengyi kicked him nonchalantly: "Wait for me in my little room tonight, um, any position is fine, okay?"

On her pure little face, her expression was serious.

But in her mouth.

She was saying such words.

Li Luo's heart swayed; he laughed happily and leaned back on the chair, shaking his crossed legs leisurely.

Seeing this situation, Huang Shengyi's face became even more flushed than before.

Looking at the other party's skin that seemed to break at a touch, as well as those eyes full of spirit, Li Luo tapped his fingers on his knees, unable to help but feel a hint of emotion in his heart.

Just over a decade later.

This woman could be said to have no spirit at all.

Not only that, but even her professional ability as an actor became extremely poor.

Acting was like practicing martial arts in Li Luo's view.

If you often compete with masters.

Your skills will improve day by day.

But the other party chose that so-called "wealthy family," acted in so many bad movies, and often played against people with almost no acting skills; it would be a ghost if her professional ability didn't become a mess.

The so-called wealthy life was also subjected to various PUA, and it didn't seem very happy.

He didn't know in this life.

What choice this Shanghai girl would make.

While Li Luo was floating in his thoughts, the production team officially started filming; Huang Shengyi carried a Japanese sword and stepped forward, reciting lines over and over again in the summer snow.

And under the martial arts instructor's command.

She seriously swung and slashed the Japanese sword in her hand.

Although her acting was still green and her movements were completed quite reluctantly, her eyes were full of hope and struggle for the future.

Li Luo made a phone call and watched quietly for over an hour.

Taking advantage of the adjustment gap, he said goodbye and left.

Arriving outside the set.

A commercial vehicle was already waiting here.

The side door was open.

The bespectacled man with a buzz cut was sitting on a chair chewing betel nut, shaking his legs calmly.

"Brother Long."

Li Luo stepped forward quickly and waved his palm heavily with the other party.

"Manager Zhang."

Wu Yu also nodded and asked.

"Get in the car."

Glaring at Li Luo, Zhang Long shook his painful hand: "Mother-f*cker, you didn't come to see us the first time you arrived in Hengdian World Studios, and now it's good, you even made me come to pick you up."

"How did your face get so big?"

"Hahaha."

Li Luo laughed and squeezed him inside: "It's just because I treat you as a brother; who else is qualified to pick me up?"

After several collaborations, their relationship had long been extraordinary.

There was no need for fake politeness.

Following a middle finger being raised.

The car door closed with a *boom*, bringing up smoke and dust as it sped toward the film and television city.

After several years of development, the scale of Hengdian World Studios had become huge.

From Qin and Han all the way to the Republic of China.

One could find corresponding filming scenes.

From the beginning of the year to the end, the number of large and small production teams working inside the film and television city was almost endless, producing countless film and television dramas, achieving the prestige of the number one film and television city in the country.

Looking at the familiar scene outside the window, Li Luo had a feeling of "a lifetime away."

Several years.

He had filmed quite a few dramas.

But this was his first time back in Hengdian World Studios.

He didn't know if that landlady who always liked to take advantage of him was still staying here to work hard; on his elbow, he could still vaguely feel the elasticity of the other party's soft buttocks rubbing against him.

He didn't know if that extra leader still liked to stare at the female extras' buttocks.

That group of extras who ran the set with him back then.

He didn't know if they had become big extras or extra leaders.

Or.

Had already ended their acting dreams.

The car wind poured in from the window, messing up Li Luo's hair.

He snatched the cigarette Zhang Long had just shaken out and lit it, took a deep breath, and exhaled a long stream of smoke.

"You were an extra here back then, right?"

Zhang Long was slightly stunned and shook out another cigarette: "People are always moving forward. You've walked your path well, and you will continue to go to higher places in the future. I'm very optimistic about you."

"No matter how far you go."

Li Luo took another puff of smoke and shook his head with a light laugh: "You can't forget the road you came from."

Looking at the small extras passing by.

He smiled lightly, as if seeing his own figure.

Although it wasn't long.

But that memory was clear enough.

His fingers pinched the cigarette butt, and the cigarette he had only taken two puffs of hit the ashtray.

After splashing a group of sparks, it extinguished instantly.

Swaying back and forth.

Soon arrived at the *Qin Wang Li Shimin* set.

It was currently the rest time for changing sets, and media had come to visit the set again today, making the scene very lively.

Under the flying eaves and upturned corners, beside the stone lion in front of the mansion gate.

Visiting reporters were conducting interviews.

Wearing silver hair accessories and a red dress, Gao Yuanyuan was talking eloquently to the microphone; it could be seen that her mood today was very good, and her whole expression was somewhat radiant.

Figures flashed, and

Fingers reached out like lightning.

They quickly tickled Yuan's waist.

After a dainty cry, even the reporter couldn't help but chuckle.

"Jingwen."

The female reporter seized the opportunity, smiling as she passed the microphone to the side: "Did you overhear Gao Yuanyuan speaking ill of you, so you rushed over to interrupt her?"

"How could that be!"

Jia Jingwen wrapped her arms firmly around Gao Yuanyuan's shoulders and said with a playful expression: "She is my good sister, after all."

Under the gaze of the camera.

Yuan pursed her lips to suppress a laugh and shook her head repeatedly.

"Hasn't Yuanyuan become much livelier than before?" Jia Jingwen let go with a giggle and leaned toward the microphone: "Actually, it's all because she was infected by me; she's even a step ahead of me now!"

"Don't ask about matters of the heart."

"Our Yuanyuan is a great beauty; are you afraid that no one will take a fancy to her?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Gao Yuanyuan nodded subconsciously at first, then widened her eyes in surprise: "You're annoying, what are you saying!"

Jia Jingwen grinned, looking like she was secretly laughing.

"What?"

The female reporter's eyes lit up, and she excitedly turned the microphone: "Yuanyuan, do you have a new romance to share with us?"

The fact that the other party broke up with a musical talent counts as big news in the industry.

If she could dig up news of a new romance.

Needless to say, she could just go back and wait for a raise!

"No, there isn't."

Gao Yuanyuan hurriedly waved her hands and looked helplessly to the side: "She's just talking nonsense."

"Hahaha."

Jia Jingwen held her waist and laughed exaggeratedly: "It's obviously a joke, don't worry. If I know Yuanyuan is dating, I promise to be the first to tell you. Let's go, let's go."

"You guys continue the interview."

With a shrug of her neck, she was about to slip away with a giggle, just as she had appeared.

"Where are you going?"

Just then, a figure darted into the frame from the side.

The moment the voice rang out, Jia Jingwen was quickly grabbed by the shoulders. Before she could react to what was happening, she was dragged back to her original position, so startled that cold sweat broke out on her back.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

Just as she was about to let out a gasp, a rapid-fire stream of words rang in her ears: "I am Li Luo, a freelance reporter for the Southern Satellite TV entertainment channel. It's my first day on the job, and I'm very happy."

"Next."

The microphone in the hands of the bewildered reporter was snatched away by Li Luo: "How about I take everyone on a tour of the *Prince Li Shimin* production crew?"

"Li Luo?"

"Ah!!!"

Two consecutive screams rang out.

Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen were first in disbelief, then excitedly grabbed his hands and kept jumping up and down.

The exquisite accessories on their costumes swayed wildly along with them.

Having worked together for so long.

Their relationship had long been extraordinary.

She had thought they could film a third TV series together, but she hadn't expected Li Luo to suddenly run off to film a movie. To be honest, Jia Jingwen still felt very disappointed, and she hadn't expected him to suddenly pop up now.

Naturally, she couldn't be happier.

As for Gao Yuanyuan, that goes without saying!

"You two."

Li Luo took a step forward, continuing to play the role of a reporter: "Regarding our visit to the set, do you have anything you'd like to say?"

"A hundred welcomes."

Facing the microphone, Gao Yuanyuan's words were crisp and clear.

"A thousand welcomes."

Jia Jingwen was not to be outdone.

The sight of them acting so goofy made the reporter on the side laugh from ear to ear. If this segment were broadcast on TV, the ratings would definitely explode.

Zhang Long, standing nearby, also smiled and adjusted his glasses.

That was really decent of him.

Helping to boost the buzz as soon as he arrived.

"I didn't scare you, did I?"

Li Luo gave another chuckle and handed the microphone back to the female reporter.

"Wait a second."

The reporter quickly regained her composure, signaled the cameraman next to her to stop filming, and then looked at him excitedly: "Brother Luo, I didn't expect you to come visit the set today. Why don't you help us film a short segment, how about it?"

"Let's call it *Stars Take You to Visit the Set*."

"Please, do me a favor."

"The ratings will definitely explode!"

Pressing her hands together, the female reporter adopted a wheedling tone.

Li Luo also knew this female reporter.

He had accepted an exclusive interview from her during the *Pingzong Xiaying* press conference.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Jia Jingwen, who wanted to be goofy, came to her senses and said excitedly: "It will definitely be very interesting. Since you aren't part of our crew, it must be a lot of fun."

Li Luo looked at Zhang Long standing nearby, then at the Southern Satellite TV logo on the camera.

"Please, just take a turn around."

Noticing that his expression showed some interest, the female reporter continued to build rapport: "Brother Luo, your relationship with our station is quite good, too. The premieres of both *Sui Tang Heroes* and *Pingzong Xiaying* were hosted by our station."

"Just do us a favor!!!"

"Alright then."

Li Luo took back the microphone and first threw out a disclaimer: "Sister Chen, I'm not responsible for the quality of the interview. I'll do it however I want."

Since he was already here, helping to promote it a little didn't matter.

His relationship with Wu Dun was already at this point.

It was just a small favor.

"Deal."

The reporter agreed without a second thought.

Throughout the whole process, Gao Yuanyuan had been watching Li Luo with a silly smile. From Hong Kong until now, after finishing commercials and then TV shows, after months of going around in circles, this guy had finally appeared before her.

"Ahem!"

Li Luo cleared his throat loudly, making her hurriedly collect her thoughts.

"Hello, everyone."

Holding the microphone and waving at the camera with its light on, Li Luo wore a handsome smile: "Did you feel surprised just now? How about I take you on a set visit today?"

"Standing next to me are the two female leads of *Prince Li Shimin*, Jia Jingwen and Gao Yuanyuan."

The girls hurriedly adjusted their state, not knowing what questions he was about to ask.

"Alright."

Li Luo gave a light push to each side and shook his head, saying: "It's none of your business anymore, both of you move aside."

"Pfft~"

Seeing the stunned look on their faces, everyone including the reporter, Zhang Long, and several assistants nearby.

All couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He really wasn't going to ask them anything, and just walked inside with the microphone.

"Li Luo!"

Jia Jingwen and Gao Yuanyuan said in unison, both pouting with their hands on their hips.

The camera recorded their expressions perfectly, though the image was a bit shaky—there was no helping that, as the cameraman couldn't hold back his laughter either.

At the reporter's waving signal.

The cameraman shouldered the equipment and hurriedly followed Li Luo inside.

Media set visits, after all.

Li Luo was all too familiar with them.

These reporters were nothing more than looking for actors to ask about their new shows, as well as their recent living conditions, to satisfy the audience's curiosity and promote the new show along the way.

Once inside, finding a familiar face was the right move.

In the blink of an eye.

He saw a few familiar faces; they seemed to be discussing something.

"Hello, Chen Xiuli."

Waving to call the camera over, he stood next to a beautiful-looking actress: "I am Li Luo, a freelance reporter for Southern Satellite TV. It's nice to meet you. May I ask you a question?"

"Of course, no problem."

Being interrupted in her conversation, Chen Xiuli was a bit unhappy.

But cooperating with media interviews.

Was part of her job.

She turned around and smiled at the reporter, only for the smile on her face to quickly freeze.

The other two blinked; this reporter looked very familiar.

"Hello, Chen Xiuli."

Li Luo said solemnly into the microphone: "You worked with actor Li Luo on *Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre*, and now you are working with He Rundong on *Prince Li Shimin*. May I ask who you think is more handsome?"

After finishing his sentence.

He handed the microphone over.

Standing in front of him was Chen Xiuli, the actress who played Xiao Zhao at the time.

He hadn't expected.

That she would also have a role in this show.

"Ah, ah..."

Xiao Zhao immediately started stuttering, completely unable to react to the situation.

"Alright."

Li Luo took back the microphone and shrugged: "It seems she thinks you are equally handsome. I wonder what your opinion is, Mr. He?"

He stretched his arm straight out, handing it to He Rundong.

The other party was the male lead in this show.

Playing Li Shimin.

"I think..."

He Rundong was also a bit stunned, his tone very hesitant.

"Alright, thank you, He Rundong."

Li Luo took back the microphone and looked at the camera with satisfaction: "Everyone heard it, right? Mr. He disagrees with Chen Xiuli's statement. It's very clear that he thinks Li Luo's appearance is a cut above."

"Huh?"

He Rundong had a bewildered expression and took a step forward.

"Don't come over here!"

Li Luo was so startled he took two steps back, then grabbed Lai Shuiqing's shoulder: "Regarding who is more handsome, I think Director Lai would also agree."

"Stop messing around."

Lai Shuiqing, having recovered, pushed him away, unable to laugh or cry: "If you're here to visit the set, then visit the set. Why are you pretending to be a reporter here?"

He Rundong and Chen Xiuli finally reacted as well.

Both couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"You guys get back to work."

Li Luo continued to swagger forward.

This set was different from the previous one; even without Zhang Long following behind, it felt just like returning home.

In the blink of an eye, another familiar face.

Just met the master.

Now it's the apprentice.

"Ma Zhi."

Grabbing Ma Yucheng, who was practicing a pose, Li Luo said to the camera: "Standing next to me is the well-known martial arts coordinator, Ma Yucheng, a famous handsome guy. With his guidance."

"Everyone can look forward to the martial arts scenes in this show!"

"Li Luo?"

Lifting his baseball cap.

Ma Yucheng was also completely bewildered.

After finishing *Sui Tang Heroes*, they hadn't seen each other for nearly a year. He hadn't expected him to suddenly flash beside him and rattle off such a speech.

The female reporter following along was very satisfied with this performance.

Rather than wanting Li Luo to ask anything, she needed the actors on set to show that bewildered, laughing-or-crying expression when seeing a familiar face; that was what attracted the audience's focus.

After a few brief words.

Ma Yucheng kicked the air, blowing away Li Luo, who dodged to the side.

After interviewing a few more people one after another.

He came before a bewildered Bian Xiaoxiao and teased into the microphone: "Yo, didn't expect to find another great beauty. If I remember correctly, she is also my classmate."

"Right, Bian Xiaoxiao?"

"I say, Li Luo."

The girl reacted extremely quickly, pretending to ask in confusion: "You don't honestly stay in school for class, what are you doing running here? Be careful, or I'll tell the teacher!"

"Hahaha."

The mention of telling the teacher made everyone around burst into laughter.

Shrugging helplessly at the camera, Li Luo waved with a smile: "Then I won't take you on the rest of the set visit. If she really tells the teacher, I'll be in trouble. See you next time if there's a chance."

"Please stay tuned for *Prince Li Shimin*, thank you!"

The final sentence.

Made whistling and cheering sounds ring out continuously all around.

This was no longer just a simple set visit; it was completely using his influence to help with promotion.

Handing the microphone back to the reporter.

Li Luo ended this small segment.

That was enough; he was out to have fun.

Don't make it feel like work.

Much like at *Tianxia Diyi*, Li Luo had purchased a full carload of fruit on the way.

Fan Xiaopang's reminder made sense.

Don't show up empty-handed when out and about, lest you get a reputation for being stingy.

Just as the reporter finished expressing her gratitude, those he had met along the way walked up one after another to high-five Li Luo in thanks and welcome. Don't let the chaos fool you; they had all been following behind him.

After exchanging pleasantries.

At Zhang Long's signal, the production assistant brought over a large platter of fruit.

To borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha.

Filming for *Prince Li Shimin* continued, and Li Luo sat down steadily on the side.

From time to time, he tossed a grape into his mouth.

The scenes unfolding before him gave rise to a sense of absurdity in his heart; the director, martial arts coordinator, and actors were mostly people he had worked with before. It really felt like he had come back to film a show.

"Brother Luo."

Bian Xiaoxiao carefully peeled an orange and placed it beside him: "You just came back from Shengyi's side, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Li Luo nodded, the juice bursting from the grape in his mouth.

"Sister Yuanyuan has been the same during this period."

Bian Xiaoxiao wiped her hands and leaned back against the chair: "She often runs back and forth between two crews. Fortunately, they aren't far apart. I don't have many scenes over there, so I can finally film here with peace of mind."

"There's one more thing."

She turned her head to look at Li Luo: "A talent agency found me during this time."

"That's a good thing."

Li Luo picked up another orange.

People from the three major art schools are, at the very least, more reliable than the wild paths outside. The chance of becoming a huge star is still slim, but there is a certain probability of getting a supporting role to make a living.

But even so, not everyone has the opportunity to sign with a talent agency.

Once signed, they have to help arrange resources.

Various expenses are inevitable.

Li Luo currently spends a lot of money on Wang Ou. Some courses are commonplace in school, but outside, without spending a large sum of money, one simply cannot get professional training from Beijing Film Academy teachers.

It is indeed a good thing that Bian Xiaoxiao received an invitation.

"What terms did they offer?"

He pinched a slice of orange and tossed it into his mouth.

"A long-term contract."

Bian Xiaoxiao leaned toward him and pinched her fingers as she said: "They will arrange certain resources, but they can't make any guarantees. The commission on the acting fee is 30%, and the rest are standard terms."

"The commission ratio is better than Shengyi's."

"But the company isn't very big."

"What about the progressive clauses?"

Li Luo looked at the girl and asked curiously.

Huang Shengyi had revealed the commission ratio, and the terms offered by Starry Night were very harsh. However, faced with the temptation of being a "Sing Girl," no newcomer would mind a low commission ratio.

Of course, one's mindset is definitely different after becoming famous.

"Progressive?"

Bian Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then thought of something: "They said that once I develop well in the future, we can renegotiate the ratio."

"Hmm."

Li Luo nodded.

This is a small trap; what is the benchmark for developing well?

It hasn't been clearly defined.

He himself is quite straightforward, giving Wang Ou a raise every three years.

He appreciates a win-win cooperative state more. Viciously sucking the blood of an artist only leads to contract termination, ending in a chaotic mess in front of the media.

"What 'hmm'?"

Bian Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, her tone becoming urgent: "I've said so much, don't you have anything you want to say?"

"Congratulations?"

Li Luo blinked.

"Li Luo!"

Bian Xiaoxiao was a bit angry.

"No."

He realized what she meant and asked in astonishment: "You want to sign with my studio?"

"What else?"

The girl said righteously, hands on her hips: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know where I'd be running around to sets and announcements right now. So, do you think I'm someone who doesn't know how to be grateful?"

Gratitude is one thing, but Bian Xiaoxiao isn't stupid either.

Why pass up a ready-made thigh to hug, only to join a small talent agency?

You'd have to be brain-dead to do that.

"Actually," Li Luo thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "Actually, the resources I have on hand aren't as many as you imagine, and if it really comes to that, I will definitely handle things professionally."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to accept that."

"It's fine, I can't go solo anyway. Whoever earns that money, it's all the same."

Bian Xiaoxiao swung her legs and laughed triumphantly: "Even if you handle things professionally, you wouldn't screw me over, right? If there are no resources, I'll just eat and drink on your dime every day!"

Hearing this.

Li Luo laughed dumbly.

Just based on her obedient nature, what would it matter if he supported her for a lifetime?

In his heart, he also calculated the feasibility.

Signing one is signing, and signing two is also signing.

Bian Xiaoxiao's acting skills are decent, and helping the company make money is definitely no problem. It's a steady, profitable deal. From a business perspective, there's really no need to refuse.

As for her personality, with him keeping her in check, there's nothing to fear.

When people have something to look forward to, they won't do anything stupid like taking a desperate gamble.

"I won't give any guarantees."

Tapping his fingers, Li Luo looked steadily at this woman: "In work, you must listen to my arrangements, and you cannot mess around with anything. Otherwise, I will still turn against you and won't show any mercy!"

With his aura pressing down, Bian Xiaoxiao's breathing stalled.

She just wanted to pout.

But seeing Li Luo's serious expression.

She didn't dare to pull any stunts.

When a person is in a subordinate position for a long time, there will be a subtle sense of obedience in their heart.

And she is exactly like that.

"Got it."

Bian Xiaoxiao nodded seriously, and she extended her little finger: "But you also have to promise me one thing. I've given you my career and my body now, so you can't fool me. You have to treat me better."

Her mouth pursed, and a hint of pleading appeared in the girl's eyes.

Thoroughly confused all the onlookers!

Everyone had already gotten together long ago, and their relationship was unusually intimate, so Bian Xiaoxiao didn't feel like she was sacrificing herself to get ahead; she didn't mind at all sticking with Li Luo.

The only thing she wanted.

Was a promise to treat her seriously.

Li Luo didn't speak, seriously hooking his little finger with hers.

With that hook.

Bian Xiaoxiao's expression suddenly became relaxed.

She hummed a little tune leisurely.

Li Luo really ran too fast, and sometimes he ran very far.

Bian Xiaoxiao was afraid of not being able to keep up with his pace, and even more afraid that after everyone graduated, they would drift apart, and she wouldn't know when they would suddenly no longer be in their current relationship.

This was after she had gotten used to Li Luo's form.

It was something she couldn't bear.

Whether physically or emotionally, a dependency had long since formed.

And now.

It could be extended to her heart's content.

For her, it was the most wonderful thing.

Humming a little tune.

Bian Xiaoxiao's face was full of happy smiles.

Filming for *Prince Li Shimin* ended early that day. Li Luo called his friends to head to the hotel. The director, executive producer, producer, actors, and others, over a dozen people, filled a table, and the assistants filled another.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, he fell into a happy dilemma.

Gao Yuanyuan on the left.

Huang Shengyi and Bian Xiaoxiao on the right.

This was a difficult choice.

And tonight he absolutely couldn't be in two places at once. Unless there was a certain opportunity, Li Luo wouldn't be naive enough to think that everyone could play mahjong together.

With a roll of his eyes, he immediately started challenging Zhang Long and the others to a drinking contest.

The *baijiu* was one cup after another.

Almost never stopping.

Such a heroic performance made those who had just met him applaud and cheer repeatedly.

It was just that Gao Yuanyuan pouted.

She knew that Bian Xiaoxiao, who was sitting on the side, also had that kind of relationship with Li Luo. Although they usually got along like good sisters, at a time like this, how could she not care about such things?

Everyone hopes to be valued a little more.

Seeing Li Luo's obvious avoidance, she was more or less unhappy.

But as cup after cup of *baijiu* went down.

She soon became worried again.

Until more than an hour later, Li Luo became flushed, and his speech was already slurred.

With the strenuous support of Wu Yu and a waiter.

He staggered away.

Seeing this, Huang Shengyi and Bian Xiaoxiao looked at each other, their expressions somewhat depressed.

And a few minutes later.

Gao Yuanyuan, unable to set her mind at ease, found Li Luo's room. After Wu Yu opened the door, she hurried inside: "Xiaoyu, is that guy okay?"

"Just lay down."

The little assistant smiled and wiped away sweat: "Brother Luo's alcohol tolerance is pretty good, but this is the first time I've seen him drink so much."

"Hmm."

After hesitating for a moment, Gao Yuanyuan headed straight for the bedroom.

Seeing the guy lying on the bed.

Her heartache deepened.

"Yuanyuan?"

Li Luo squinted his eyes, pretending to struggle to get up.

He had drunk a bit too much.

But not enough to be dead drunk.

It was mainly to create a false impression for Bian Xiaoxiao and the others. After weighing things left and right, it was most important to appease Gao Yuanyuan first, as those two didn't know of her existence.

And conversely.

Gao Yuanyuan knew all about Bian Xiaoxiao.

Don't let her get jealous.

And make it impossible to clean up.

At this moment, Li Luo admired Luo Zhixiang, that "Time Management Master," even more. It's not hard for people like them to win a woman's heart; what's hard is handling things properly.

He still had room for improvement!

"Don't move."

Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but step forward quickly, reaching out to press him down: "You've drunk so much, yet you're still trying to act tough here."

"Xiaoyu."

Li Luo rubbed his temples, pretending to be uncomfortable: "You go back and rest first. I have something to discuss with your Sister Yuanyuan. Hmm, there might be a show to collaborate on next."

"Oh."

Wu Yu scratched his head and couldn't help but speak: "Brother Luo, how about I go to the living room and watch TV?"

"Otherwise."

"If someone comes to see you later."

"This excuse isn't very convincing."

The little assistant gave a chuckle and made an OK gesture at his boss.

Indicating that he understood everything.

"Pfft."

Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but laugh.

She simply sat on the edge of the bed, not bothering to pretend anymore!

"Go, go, go."

Li Luo's face flushed red again, and he grabbed a pillow and threw it at Wu Yu: "Go watch your TV quickly. If you nag anymore, I'll deduct your salary next month."

Catching the pillow, the little assistant gave another knowing smile.

Then he very considerately closed the door.
