Chapter 249: The script blooming with radiance

~33 min read 6,571 words

The two laughed heartily, then exchanged phone numbers.

When the time comes, just have Lin Yue coordinate with the Taobao marketing department; there's no need to negotiate the specific endorsement fee with Ma Yun personally. It wouldn't be appropriate to set it too high or too low, so let the agent act as a buffer in between.

Following the market rate is just fine.

"Brother Luo."

Just then, Wu Yu walked over carrying the scabbard, the dirt stained on it having been carefully wiped clean by her.

A sudden inspiration struck him, and Li Luo decided to offer a gift at someone else's expense.

"Producer."

He called out softly to Zhang Jizhong beside him, then slowly sheathed the sword, saying with a smile: "This is President Ma Yun. I feel like I've known him for years, and I'd like to gift this Gentleman Sword to him."

"Returning the Gentleman Sword to a gentleman."

"What do you think?"

The guy in front of him is a Wu Xia fan who loves playing with this kind of mystical, profound stuff.

Li Luo simply played to his preferences.

Perhaps the endorsement fee will be higher when the time comes.

Even if it isn't higher, after being flattered like this by him, there's certainly no problem with everyone becoming friends!

The single sentence, "Returning the Gentleman Sword to a gentleman," made Ma Yun's eyes burst with brilliance.

He felt as if he had drunk three large bowls of honey water.

He smiled so hard the wrinkles could crush a fly!

"Hahaha."

Zhang Jizhong walked over laughing, scratching his beard as he said: "I like this line of yours, but you don't need to help introduce President Ma; he's been a close friend of mine for many years. When filming *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer*, he wanted to play Feng Qingyang."

"It's just that I rejected him."

"Returning the Gentleman Sword to a gentleman, I think that's perfectly fine."

Ma Yun is his good friend, and Li Luo's performance just now also brought great glory to his face.

What's the big deal about gifting a prop sword?

Over at the prop department, there are still two or three spares!

"Mr. Feng Qingyang."

Li Luo casually performed a sword flourish and handed the Gentleman Sword forward with both hands.

"Mr. Li Luo."

Ma Yun replied just as earnestly, wiped his hands vigorously on his clothes, and then took it with extreme caution.

It felt slightly heavy in his hand.

He couldn't put it down, admiring the exquisite patterns on the scabbard.

He gripped the hilt and drew it with force.

The gleaming blade reflected his own face.

Don't look down on it just because it's a prop sword.

Zhang Jizhong has never been sloppy in this regard, especially when it involves the famous Gentleman Sword; he spent extra effort on its production, so it looks almost like a real sword.

He is no longer in the stage of borrowing money from employees to pay wages.

Even a truly real sword.

Ma Yun could actually afford to buy one.

But he couldn't resist the sense of ritual Li Luo provided, and coupled with the fact that this was the sword used in the filming of *The Return of the Condor Heroes*, the combination gave him the feeling of having obtained a rare treasure.

The three looked at each other and laughed heartily.

Then Zhang Da Hu Zi called the photographer over, and Li Luo gave Ma Yun some pointers on his posture.

Facing the sunlight.

They took a happy group photo.

After finishing this, Ma Yun excitedly asked Yang Guo—who had just been stamped and verified by Jin Yong—for advice on sword techniques. In fact, people like them are accustomed to only believing in things they have personally perceived.

The Seven Stars Sword Technique Li Luo showed just now made him feel it was heaven-sent.

He was convinced the other party was a sword master.

Hence the act of asking for advice.

Li Luo didn't decline either, and on the spot, he taught this guy some simple and easy-to-learn stances, making Ma Yun dance with the sword so frequently that he appeared completely oblivious to his surroundings.

A few short minutes passed, and the opening ceremony officially began.

Local leaders gave speeches, the production leadership gave speeches, and actor representatives gave speeches.

The first two items.

Made Li Luo dizzy with sleepiness.

As for the latter item, he became full of energy.

For no other reason.

It was just that the person giving the speech had become himself.

Looking at the sea of people below, he finally understood why those leaders all love long-winded speeches; forcing a large group of people to listen to one's own high-flown rhetoric, that feeling is indeed exhilarating!

The gongs and drums sounded again; unveiling the red cloth, offering incense, and receiving red envelopes.

After completing the process.

As firecrackers crackled and exploded, the city gates slowly opened, and those attending the ceremony filed in joyfully, touring the film city where the *The Return of the Condor Heroes* crew would be filming for nearly three months.

Crowds surged everywhere, thoroughly bringing this film base to life.

The news that the Xiangshan Film City base was officially put into use spread rapidly across major media the next day.

The grand occasion at the scene.

Finally satisfied the curiosity of the long-awaiting drama fans.

The video of Li Luo dancing with a sword in front of Elder Jin Yong was posted directly to the most prominent position on the entertainment section of the portal website, and those high-profile headlines drew countless netizens to swarm in.

"Jin Yong speaks bluntly: This is the Yang Guo in my heart."

"A silver sword startles the nine provinces, three cheers awaken the crowd."

"The Yang Guo with the best skills, without a doubt!"

These headlines directly helped Li Luo snatch away the majority of the traffic regarding the press conference, and his solid martial arts skills pushed the heat of *The Return of the Condor Heroes* even higher.

However, at this moment, he had no heart to pay attention to these things.

Even the future richest man.

Was just someone he had a drink with at night, maintaining a lukewarm relationship before setting him aside.

A relationship that is forced is not a relationship.

Besides, just knowing such a person is enough; maintaining a normal interaction is fine.

No matter who one interacts with.

It must still be based on strength.

Forcibly pulling strings just makes one a hanger-on; perhaps for others, it's an opportunity they'd die for, but Li Luo's ambitions don't lie there; he doesn't need to rely on the scraps thrown by others to make a living.

After the banquet, he immediately threw himself into the intense filming work.

During this period, Wang Ou also almost never had a moment of leisure, absorbing knowledge about acting like a sponge every day.

When rehearsing scenes, Li Luo always found her to practice.

And he absolutely didn't allow her to just recite lines simply; she had to adopt an acting attitude.

Acting talent.

Wang Ou indeed had a bit of it.

Being fed acting tips hand-in-hand by Li Luo like this, the girl's skills could be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds; at the very least, she was starting to look the part!

What's lacking now is tempering through real-life experience.

After all, knowledge from books is always shallow.

Days passed one by one, and in the bitterly cold winter, Li Luo welcomed his first friend visiting the set.

Slightly dense footsteps approached the bustling filming site ahead.

Just by listening to the sound, one knew they were filming a grand scene.

Although the gentle-looking woman in the group wasn't a stranger to this kind of commotion, she still asked with some curiosity: "Xiao Yu, what scene is your Brother Luo filming now?"

"The Hero Conference."

Wu Yu held the heavy box in her arms, looking at the woman behind her with a beaming smile: "Competing with Jinlun Fawang for the position of Wu Lin Alliance Leader; it counts as a major scene, and everyone has been fighting here for several days!"

"Sister Feihong, you've come to visit the set, Brother Luo will definitely be very happy."

"Aren't you happy?"

Yu Feihong pursed her lips and smiled, quickening her pace slightly.

"Of course I'm happy."

Wu Yu held the fruit in her hands, her eyes smiling into crescents.

It wasn't just the two of them; behind them followed Yu Feihong's assistant and two or three production staff, carrying large and small boxes, and the commotion was not small at all.

Yu Feihong, dressed elegantly, stopped talking and hurried inside, her eyes full of anticipation.

Having not seen the bad little brother for a long time.

To say she wasn't looking forward to it, how could that be possible.

Crossing a street, they finally arrived at the filming set of the Hero Conference, and Yu Feihong slowed her pace slightly.

She looked at the scene before her in surprise; it really was a major scene.

There were at least a hundred people in front of her.

Excluding a crowd of supporting actors, there were also a large number of extras resting on the site.

Even if the cost for an extra is only fifty yuan a day, plus food and drink expenses, ten thousand yuan would be gone in a single day; if it weren't a major scene, which director would dare to play like this?

This place could be called a small plaza.

Lanterns and red cloth were draped everywhere.

Antique-style buildings surrounded the large arena in the middle.

Various Wu Lin figures were resting in groups of three or five during the filming break, or listening to the director explain the scene.

In the cold weather.

It was permeated with a sense of intense activity.

Yu Feihong's gaze moved rapidly, starting to search for that familiar figure.

Her line of sight quickly locked on.

Looking at the two people standing in the corner, a faint smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

The little brother looks even more handsome.

The girl beside him is indeed pure to the extreme.

Seeing this.

She couldn't help but touch her own face.

In that corner, a low-voiced exchange was taking place.

Liu Qianqian was quite confused at this moment; she had been called over by the other party just now, thinking there was something urgent, but she didn't expect Li Luo to tell her to use a stunt double in a moment.

"Senior."

The little junior sister shook her head with a smile, waving her hands repeatedly and whispering: "You don't know the producer's style."

"For this kind of scene."

"How could he possibly let me use a stunt double?"

"Don't worry."

Liu Qianqian patted her chest, indicating she was completely fine: "Isn't it just being tossed up? I'm not that scared!"

No matter how dangerous the scene, she always went on personally.

How could she be scared into stopping in front of this small battle.

"If the beard doesn't allow it, then go get your mom to pester him."

Li Luo looked at the pretty face before him, hands on his hips, saying earnestly: "Even if it's making a scene, or crying until your face is streaked with tears, otherwise I'm afraid you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

"Ah?"

Liu Qianqian was completely dumbfounded.

It's just filming a scene, is it necessary to say it so seriously.

"OK."

Li Luo was too lazy to talk nonsense, folded his hands in front of Liu Qianqian, and said in a deep voice: "Now close your eyes, follow my description, and imagine your upcoming performance situation."

"Senior."

Liu Qianqian stomped her feet, acting coquettishly: "I'm thirsty, I want to go drink some water."

"It won't take a minute."

Li Luo's gaze was quite firm.

"Alright."

The little junior sister sighed helplessly and slowly closed her eyes.

"Listen carefully."

The senior's slightly magnetic voice drifted into her ears: "Yang Guo, Shi Xiaolong Maiden, and others join forces to defeat Jinlun Fawang, making a great contribution to defending the dignity of Wu Lin figures."

"Amidst the cheers, various Wu Lin figures swarm forward."

"They cheer loudly and toss Yang Guo and Shi Xiaolong Maiden high into the air, and the crowd of Beggar Sect disciples constantly poke with the bamboo staffs in their hands; under the brilliant sunlight, smiling faces bloom one after another."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Liu Qianqian's face.

That feeling.

Must be quite wonderful!

But this was all the scene the director had just explained, and it was also the content in the script; she didn't understand why the senior was repeating it.

"The white dress flutters in mid-air."

"Shi Xiaolong Maiden sheds her cold and aloof appearance, happily enjoying the adoration of the crowd."

The lingering voice continued to sound.

In Liu Qianqian's mind, scenes also emerged one after another.

"Every time she falls."

"There are countless large hands catching her."

"Beneath Shi Xiaolong Maiden's body are excited faces."

Liu Tianxian revealed a smile again.

Continuing to listen attentively.

"These pairs of large hands stained with grime constantly touch her body, extending from her calves to her thighs, not even letting go of her buttocks and soft waist, enjoying Shi Xiaolong Maiden's graceful figure to their heart's content."

"In the chaos, hands reach out from all directions."

"Madly attacking her."

"Senior!"

Liu Qianqian opened her eyes abruptly, interrupting his words urgently.

The girl's chest heaved rapidly.

On her forehead, a layer of fine sweat also seeped out.

After some guidance, the images in her brain were clearly visible, and scene after scene felt as if it were happening to her for real; she suddenly felt nauseous all over and couldn't help but shiver.

Li Luo wasn't fear-mongering.

When watching this version of *The Return of the Condor Heroes* in his past life, this scene had indeed happened.

Even worse.

In the chaos, there was groping of waists and breasts.

One scene was even edited into the final cut, and at the time, it almost dumbfounded Li Luo; he didn't expect the extras to be so bold, nor did he expect such an obvious shot to be edited in.

Recalling this scene earlier, he decisively called Liu Qianqian over.

To issue a warning to the other party.

His relationship with the little junior sister had always been good, and from their time together, Li Luo discovered that she was also a very professional actor, never hesitating to go up mountains or into water, despite looking quite pampered.

But she had great professional spirit.

Just for this, he didn't want her to experience that kind of thing again.

"Senior."

Swallowing hard, Liu Qianqian managed to squeeze out a smile: "You're so annoying, using such bad things to scare me; the director and the others are all watching, how could the extras dare to do such things."

Subconsciously, she began to deny it, unwilling to think of people as that bad.

"Do you dare to bet?"

Li Luo raised his eyebrows and said unhurriedly: "Even if they did, so what? You can't fire them; they're just doing daily-wage work anyway."

"If it were me."

He smiled slightly, his gaze scanning Liu Qianqian's graceful figure: "I wouldn't care at all; even if I had to go in and sit for a few days, being able to grab Shi Xiaolong Maiden's butt would be too worth it!"

"Tsk tsk."

Li Luo curled his fingers and looked at the little junior sister with a wicked smile: "I wonder what it would feel like!"

"Senior!!!"

This action made Liu Qianqian so shy that her butt felt sour; after stomping her feet heavily, she spread her legs and ran toward where her mother was.

The staggering way she ran made Li Luo laugh heartily.

No matter what.

After such a scare, the effect was definitely good.

It was just that noticing Liu Xiaoli looking over expressionlessly, he awkwardly retracted his smile.

And in the next moment, Liu Qianqian threw herself into her mother's arms.

In a flustered tone.

Recounting the senior's words just now.

Now, even if there was only a one percent chance, she didn't dare to bet.

"Little brother!"

Another loud call made Li Luo turn his head with a swish.

In the corridor not far away.

The beauty smiled.

Looking at him with a hint of reproach.

A brilliant smile instantly bloomed on Li Luo's face; he spread his legs and strode forward to meet her, directly ignoring the palm Yu Feihong extended, and hugged her tightly into his arms with the utmost enthusiasm.

"Sister Feihong~"

Taking a deep breath, he tightened his arms again.

A foster brother giving a foster sister who came to visit the set a warm hug, there's nothing wrong with that.

If you're not convinced, go find one yourself!

Instantly enveloped by the other party's scent, and feeling the powerful arms, Yu Feihong's body went soft, and she happily hugged him back tightly.

Only after several seconds did the two release each other.

"Little rascal."

Looking at the guy in front of her, Yu Feihong glanced at him lightly: "As soon as I came over, I saw you flirting with a girl."

Her expression was annoyed.

But there wasn't the slightest intention of being angry.

"It's not what you think."

Putting his arm around Sister Feihong's shoulder, Li Luo brought this gentle-looking, elegant woman forward: "Let me introduce you to some friends in the crew; this is Chen Zihan, your junior sister."

"Meng Guangmei, a supermodel from Wandao."

Waving his hand toward the actors who stood up one by one, Li Luo introduced: "This is my sister, Yu Feihong."

The commotion just now was really quite large.

The male lead met a strange woman in public and hugged her firmly.

Many people were whispering in their hearts.

But when they walked closer and saw that the other party was actually the "Jinghong Fairy," and then listened to the sister's words, everyone immediately stopped thinking in that direction and enthusiastically exchanged various greetings.

"Very happy to meet you."

"Li Luo hasn't let you take care of him much, has he?"

"Hello, hello."

Under Li Luo's introduction, Yu Feihong greeted the main creators of the crew appropriately.

Everyone is in the circle anyway.

And the other party's fame is not small, and some well-informed people even knew her background was quite solid, so Zhang Jizhong also shook hands with her politely and expressed his welcome enthusiastically.

Led by Wu Yu, Yu Feihong's assistant kept distributing fruit.

The scene appeared even more harmonious.

Just as Li Luo led Sister Feihong to the rest area to sit down, Liu Xiaoli found Zhang Jizhong aggressively and called him directly into the room next door.

What exactly was discussed, no one knew.

When they came out, Liu Xiaoli's expression had softened a lot, but the big beard looked very depressed.

After returning to the rest area, Liu Xiaoli signaled Liu Qianqian to hand over her phone, and she sent a text message out with a clatter.

With a thud.

Li Luo's Nokia made a crisp sound.

"Thank you!"

The number noted as "Little Junior Sister" sent a very simple text message.

When he looked up.

Liu Xiaoli revealed a grateful smile.

There was no longer the expressionless look from just now, watching Li Luo tease her girl; just now Liu Qianqian whispered about what might happen, which scared the beautiful woman into a cold sweat.

Let alone one percent, she didn't want to bet even a one-in-ten-thousand chance.

She decisively found the beard.

And demanded a change of stunt double firmly.

Otherwise.

She would strike!

The straightforward threat made Zhang Jizhong immediately raise the white flag.

Smiling, Li Luo nodded in response.

She didn't come over to express thanks, but sent a text message instead; this matter was handled quite efficiently, which was also the reason he called Liu Qianqian to the corner just now; he didn't want Zhang Jizhong to think he was messing around.

"What's wrong?"

Yu Feihong leaned over curiously.

"Nothing."

Li Luo didn't avoid the other party, but kept his gaze wandering on the woman's face: "Sister Feihong, how did you become even more beautiful? No, I have to check it out tonight!"

"Just check?"

Yu Feihong swallowed and issued a provocative remark.

"Hahaha."

Li Luo's laughter echoed throughout the set.

The afternoon filming continued, and various Wu Lin figures swarmed toward Yang Guo and Shi Xiaolong Maiden who had defeated Jinlun Fawang, cheering as they tossed the two high into the air.

The suspended camera recorded Li Luo's happy smile.

As for the other side, the group of extras tossing the male stunt double looked quite regretful.

Inside the lens.

They could only focus on filming Li Luo's close-up.

As for Shi Xiaolong Maiden, the camera recorded the fluttering white dress from the side and below.

Standing behind the monitor, Liu Qianqian saw the moment when pairs of large hands touched the stunt double's body randomly, her face became incomparably stiff, and her hands were tightly hugged to her chest.

Fortunately, there was the senior's reminder.

Otherwise.

Thinking about what might have happened, she shivered all over again.

Zhang Jizhong also felt something was amiss at this time; under Liu Xiaoli's expressionless gaze, he could only scratch his beard and laugh dryly.

When a friend comes from afar, one must ask for leave.

In fact.

Knowing early on that Yu Feihong was coming to visit the set, Li Luo had already arranged the filming notice for this night in advance.

So while others were bitterly working the night shift.

He took Sister Feihong to Xiangshan County to enjoy a seafood feast.

After dinner, the group returned to the hotel.

"Give it to me!"

Reaching out to the assistant, Yu Feihong shrugged and looked at Li Luo: "It's already arranged to go see the location tomorrow, so we have to hurry and finalize things; I have to catch a flight to leave at night."

"The final version of the script is out."

"Hurry up and take a look, and raise any issues at any time."

As her voice fell, she also took the thick script her assistant took out from her backpack.

"OK."

Li Luo looked at Wu Yu.

"Let's go."

Wu Yu smiled and greeted Yu Feihong's assistant: "Let's go to our room to rest for a while."

It was obvious that these two were going to talk about serious business.

It was inconvenient to disturb them.

Yu Feihong's assistant also nodded knowingly, and after the elevator dinged, she walked out with Wu Yu and Wang Ou.

The elevator door closed.

Li Luo also took the script.

After arriving at the corresponding floor, he walked toward his room while flipping through it.

It was the same plot as before, just that the details were much more perfected; a melodramatic romance drama, the whole thing telling the love stories between the male and female leads, and others.

Although it's a bit melodramatic, this kind of drama can't go wrong.

It's very suitable for newcomers to practice.

The dull footsteps didn't stop until they reached the suite door; the closer they got, the more rapid the breathing beside him became.

Smiling slightly.

Li Luo opened the door casually.

"Click."

With a crisp sound, Yu Feihong, who had long been unable to hold back, leaped up, hanging on him like a sloth, and passionate kisses fell like raindrops.

"Oh~"

Li Luo steadily supported her plump buttocks, revealing his white teeth: "Didn't you say you wanted to study the script?"

"Annoying."

Yu Feihong bit his lip, looking straight at him: "Study it later, I only want you now, hurry up!!!"

"Want what of mine?"

Li Luo weighed the big girl in his hands and walked toward the bedroom.

A sweep of her charming eyes.

Sister Feihong bit his ear.

Whispering sweet nothings.

These words made Li Luo's blood boil instantly; with a forceful swing of his arm, the woman in his arms flew backward with a gasp, falling heavily onto the elastic mattress.

Just this one action.

Made Yu Feihong let out a happy laugh.

Looking at Li Luo, who was patting the script, she slowly unzipped her coat.

Inside that.

Was a black sweater.

First skimming over the plump curves, Li Luo's gaze fell onto the flat abdomen tightly wrapped by the sweater; that slender waist seemed like it could be easily encircled by two hands.

The waist twisted slowly.

The sweater was also pulled up inch by inch, the fair skin radiating a charming luster.

As expected of the Jinghong Fairy.

When she gets passionate, her whole body radiates a woman's charm.

Looking at Sister Feihong's soul-hooking little eyes, Li Luo smiled, threw the script aside, and pounced on her.

After an in-depth investigation and study, it was confirmed that Yu Feihong was as supple as ever.

And Li Luo's inspection.

Of course, it couldn't just be once.

"Enough!!!"

After a loud cry, her long hair was tossed up forcefully, thousands of strands falling down, sticking to her sweat-stained back.

Staring at the ceiling for a while.

Yu Feihong trembled, her whole body going soft as she fell backward.

At this moment, in her brain.

She could no longer distinguish north, south, east, or west.

She felt as if she were floating among white clouds, a feeling somewhat like a god or immortal!

"Want some water?"

Li Luo was long used to the woman's reaction; he sat up extremely comfortably, his palm skillfully gripping the "thunder," bringing some after-care comfort to the other party.

"Want~~~"

Eyes half-closed, Sister Feihong's voice was parched.

A casual tug.

Li Luo walked out of the bedroom leisurely.

Shuddering all over again from his action, Yu Feihong raised her hand, hitting the direction the bad guy left in annoyance; her fair fingers swept through the air and fell powerlessly onto the quilt.

Bad little brother.

Getting more and more powerful!

And not seen for a while, his charm is even more fascinating.

This guy.

Who knows how many little girls he'll ruin in the future.

Watching Li Luo's flashing figure, Yu Feihong let out a long, comfortable breath.

A few minutes later.

Finally studying the script.

Because he had read it before, Li Luo flipped pages extremely fast.

Yu Feihong hummed a little tune, unwrapped a cigar, cut it skillfully, and lit it; she took two puffs herself, then thoughtfully handed it to Li Luo's lips.

Busy with all this, the smile on her face never stopped.

"Just added some details."

After Li Luo bit the cigar firmly, she leaned back against the headboard: "It's fine to stay and read it slowly; this time I mainly came to discuss other content."

"Didn't you say you wanted to bring people into the crew before?"

Her fingers danced lightly on his abs, Yu Feihong pursed her lips and smiled: "It's best to confirm what roles you want tonight, so I can officially start the casting work, but later is fine too."

"It's just that we have to hurry."

"Choose whatever?"

Li Luo raised his eyebrows.

"Except for you and me." Yu Feihong nodded proudly, then said earnestly: "You can choose any other roles, but it's best if the fit is higher; you wouldn't want your sister to film a bad drama, would you?"

As a producer, this statement is quite grand.

But she was just saying it casually; she knew very well that Li Luo wouldn't joke about his own career.

In fact, she understood his current situation very well; if it weren't for their private relationship, the little brother probably wouldn't even look at this script or lineup.

Actually, Yu Feihong had hesitated about whether to change the male lead.

After all, this was her test-water work.

She had never harbored any delusions of becoming an overnight sensation, and a work with lukewarm reception could potentially affect the other party's future.

Just as she had barely broached the subject, she was slapped down.

She dared not bring it up again.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but rub her still-aching backside.

"Zhao Lala, Wu Xiaomei."

Flipping through the script, Li Luo quickly settled on two roles.

Although many of his classmates were trying to get close to him, they had all been beating around the bush, asking if he could help arrange a job if there was an opportunity.

The size of the role didn't matter, as long as there was something to act in.

But this kind of thing shouldn't be overdone, even if his relationship with Yu Feihong was very close.

If he were to bring five or six people into the production and snatch up all the supporting roles, big and small.

That would be too unsightly.

"Okay!"

Even though both were the female second and third leads with extremely heavy roles, Yu Feihong agreed without a second thought.

"Send two more copies of the script to my studio later."

Li Luo closed the script and said while biting his cigar: "Let my classmate play Wu Xiaomei; she has already acted in a few plays, so taking down this role won't be a problem. As for Zhao Lala, did you notice my assistant just now?"

Reasonably and logically, he had to explain the situation to the other party.

Producing a TV series for the first time, the big sister surely had no confidence in her heart, and some things needed to be made clear.

"The tall one?"

Yu Feihong thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Her external conditions are good, and her temperament is also suitable for playing a role like Zhao Lala, who has a bit of stubbornness."

"Hmm."

Li Luo exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a smile: "That's what I thought too. Wang Ou is not just an assistant; she is also my signed artist. You should have seen her on the opening day."

"She doesn't have a formal background, but I have been training her during this period."

"Let her thoroughly digest the script during this time."

"It shouldn't be a big problem."

The hardest part for a newcomer is the start.

Without capital and strength to back them up, no one will give newcomers too many opportunities; they must struggle step by step, except for the lucky ones.

Fortunately, he now has the qualifications to help Wang Ou up.

Once someone is signed, one must find a way to make them popular.

It is also time to make a move.

With this play, Wang Ou's confidence will be much stronger when she goes out to audition for other roles later. This is also the reason why some capital, in order to promote someone, is willing to spend money to let big stars help support the acting.

Even if she can't become a huge hit, her resume will become much more solid.

"OK."

Yu Feihong kept those two roles in mind and looked at Li Luo with blinking eyes: "By the way, I still don't know how much you get paid per episode for *The Return of the Condor Heroes*. Tell me about it?"

"So I can offer prices to other actors."

"Hehe."

Li Luo reached out without hesitation and pinched her cheek: "You can just go with the market price for my two artists. As for me, let's just use the name of a friendly appearance."

"Forget about the acting fee."

Li Luo saw through that little thought at a glance.

It was nothing more than wanting to offer him a price based on his fee for *The Return of the Condor Heroes*, and he refused it very simply.

It wasn't a big production to begin with.

Don't let his own acting fee slash a huge chunk of the budget.

After all, she's a god-sister~

Supporting her is the right thing to do.

Giving the big sister a peck, Li Luo happily toyed with his 'Lei Zi'.

"Crazy."

Yu Feihong was between laughter and tears, trying hard to pry his hand away: "I'm talking to you about serious business. Have you ever seen a TV series where the male lead doesn't want a penny of the acting fee? Wouldn't that be equivalent to sending me money!"

"Working for Feihong sister, it's okay not to take it."

Li Luo bared his white teeth and firmly grasped the familiar place.

"Be serious."

Reluctantly letting go, Yu Feihong looked at him seriously: "Are you worried that I will lose money? There is absolutely no need for that. Do you know what the name Li Luo represents now?"

"It represents the ability to sell for money!"

The big sister's expression was quite serious, and her tone became formal: "Although I didn't do it for that, the other two investors were overjoyed when they heard they could get your schedule."

"According to them, no matter what requests you make, as long as they aren't too excessive, they will try their best to satisfy them."

"The money wasn't put up by me alone."

"What's earned isn't mine alone either. It should be what it should be."

Each hit drama creates extremely high market value. Although she didn't know Li Luo's specific acting fee for *The Return of the Condor Heroes*.

But Yu Feihong knew very well how popular he was.

If he were to accept everything, his schedule for the next few years would probably be full.

This is also the reason why the other two investors were so excited. Being able to snatch the schedule of a popular actor, especially the schedule immediately following *The Return of the Condor Heroes*, means being able to make money.

Although, the original intention was to accompany Yu Feihong for fun.

They didn't take it to heart even if they lost money.

But if they can make money, it's always a welcome thing.

"Then let's go with a friendly price."

Praised by the 'Jinghong Fairy' like this, Li Luo felt comfortable all over, smiled and shook his head: "This is a short drama of twenty episodes, just give me one million. Don't put too much pressure on yourself?"

"Is that okay?"

"Fine~"

Yu Feihong twisted her waist and asked curiously: "But how much did you actually get for *The Return of the Condor Heroes*?"

Seeing the gesture Li Luo made, the 'Jinghong Fairy' widened her eyes.

"No way?"

Swallowing hard, the big sister asked in surprise: "You were actually able to get such a high acting fee from Zhang Da Hu Zi?"

"Ma Zong made the final decision."

Li Luo smiled and shrugged.

"Alright."

Yu Feihong leaned against him and muttered to herself: "That is indeed high enough. I originally wanted to increase it for you based on your fee for *The Return of the Condor Heroes*, so that it would be more reasonable."

Having been immersed in the circle for many years, she knew very well what the rules for acting fees were.

Simply put, if there is a good script and a good production team.

The actor's fee can be suppressed.

But when the script and production team are relatively average, and you want to invite big names.

You either add money or rely on personal favors.

Otherwise, why would others give up big productions to come and struggle in your small pond.

"Just do as I say."

Li Luo lifted his arm with force, hoisting the big sister onto himself, and said pointedly: "Are you afraid of owing me a favor? I know Feihong sister isn't short of these two million or so in funds."

"But you are doing business, and everything must be carried out within a controllable range."

"As a producer, you must learn to control the budget."

"Don't spend money freely."

"The allocation of funds for the production team needs a certain balance. In my opinion, when you are operating a project, this is the issue that needs to be considered with emphasis, rather than constantly spending money just for the sake of effect."

As long as he thought of her movie that lost a fortune, he couldn't help but remind her a little.

Slowly correcting her idea of spending just for the sake of effect.

"Okay, okay, okay."

Yu Feihong shook her head helplessly, bit her lip and smiled lightly: "Just do as you say. But having owed you such a big favor, how should sister repay it?"

Her smile quickly turned sluggish.

The obvious object behind her was rapidly waking up.

Tightly pressing against her buttocks.

"What do you think?"

Li Luo blinked and bared his white teeth.

Taking a deep breath, Yu Feihong slowly stood up, and then sat down even more slowly.

She pursed her little mouth slightly again.

This debt of favor, it seems, is not easy to repay!

Until the car lights disappeared at the end of the horizon, Li Luo stood with his hands in his pockets watching the night for a while, before turning back to the hotel.

Back in the room.

The extremely messy bedding had already been tidied back to its original state.

The beauty had already gone far away, leaving only the scent of perfume floating in the air and that thick stack of scripts.

He made a phone call casually.

He took the script out of the living room, grabbed a bottle of beer and sat on the sofa.

In no time at all.

The door was gently knocked.

"Come in."

Taking a sip of beer, Li Luo responded loudly.

The door card swiped.

After a creak, Wang Ou walked into the room. Because she had just finished showering, her hair was a bit damp. She was wearing thick wine-red pajamas, and her cotton slippers made a series of light sounds on the floor.

"Luo Ge?"

Coming to the side of the living room, Wang Ou stopped.

Her bright big eyes blinked.

She didn't know what was the matter with calling her up in the middle of the night, and he even specifically emphasized that she should come alone.

Looking at the script on the table, her heart couldn't help but beat a little faster.

Could it be.

A hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes.

"Take it back."

Li Luo gestured with the beer bottle to the script on the table: "Just read it yourself. Don't show it to anyone else. Focus on studying the role of Zhao Lala. Filming will probably start in May."

"Before that, you have to digest the character."

"Ah?"

When she was in the elevator just now, she had secretly glanced at the script in Yu Feihong's hand. She had expectations in her heart, but when the expectation really came true, she was caught off guard.

It was actually a new play, and she was going to play a character with a name.

This thick stack of papers.

In her eyes.

Bloomed with amazing light.

"Don't 'ah'!"

Li Luo swallowed the beer and continued to remind her: "The role of Zhao Lala has a very heavy part, which can be considered the female second lead. It's a bit difficult for you, so put in more effort. Don't embarrass me when the time comes."

Female second lead.

Wang Ou swallowed hard with difficulty.

The light emitted by the script was even more intense than it looked before!
