Chapter 86: Promoting in Taiwan (Two-in-One Chapter)

Jiang Wen did things thoroughly, and Li Luo wasn't vague either.

After playing mahjong for several hours, all kinds of big wins made Jiang Wen happy enough to drink with even more vigor.

Banned from directing for a few years.

He couldn't do other things, so this was one of the few pleasures.

But it wouldn't be long before he was pulled by friends to act, but at that time, it made quite a few directors suffer.

The reason was nothing else.

This guy's desire to interfere with filming was too strong!

Always wanting to snatch the director's work.

Driving the brand-new second-hand car away, the Mercedes G-Wagon was naturally returned to Xu Qing at the first opportunity. It was different driving a car he had paid for himself; an inexplicable sense of self-achievement welled up in his heart.

When he drove on the road the next day, the sound of the wind blowing into the car became much more pleasant.

【Owning the first luxury car】

【Indulgence successful】

【Reward: Line Experience +30】

Looking at the system reminder passing by his eyes, Li Luo smiled and stomped on the accelerator, and the black Grand Cherokee roared across the streets of Beijing.

Only twenty years old.

In 2002, his bank card was already holding hundreds of thousands.

For the next period of time.

He could be said to be quite proud.

Usually, he attended classes at school properly, and whenever he had free time, he would drive around the outskirts of Beijing with women, visiting scenic spots like Jiankou Great Wall, the Grand Canyon, and Mount Yunmeng.

Properly releasing all the fatigue from filming for several months.

Autumn went and winter came.

In mid-November, Li Luo received a call from Wu Dun, and this state similar to a vacation officially ended.

A play isn't finished just because filming is done.

Subsequent promotion is also part of the work.

Finding Huo Xuan to get leave that day, and after kissing the sleeping Xu Qing the next day, he took his luggage to the airport.

This drama was broadcast across the Taiwan Strait and three places.

Although he wasn't famous at this time, as the male lead, he definitely had to attend the promotional activities before the new drama started. This was also an excellent opportunity to show his face, so he naturally didn't want to miss it.

"Li Luo, over here."

Seeing a familiar figure from far away, Jia Jingwen, dressed fashionably, waved her arms.

Taiwan was her home field, so she naturally wouldn't be absent from the promotion.

Besides her assistant, there were also Wu Dun and others.

"Wu Ge."

Li Luo walked up quickly and greeted the others one by one. "Sorry, kept you waiting."

"It's okay, we just arrived too."

Wu Dun pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and looked at Li Luo with satisfaction. "Post-production is finished. I watched it roughly once, the effect is very good, and you acted very well."

Having many years of experience in producing film and television dramas.

His vision was naturally sharp.

Two "very good"s in a row was a rare evaluation given by Wu Dun. Of course, whether it could be a hit depended on the market reaction.

The subsequent broadcast in Taiwan still required him to communicate personally on many things.

So this time, they simply went together.

"Thank you, Wu Ge."

Li Luo took off his sunglasses and nodded with a smile. "This is the work result of the entire crew."

Credit should go to everyone.

He still understood this obvious truth.

After greeting everyone, Li Luo also got his plane ticket, travel permit, and entry permit. For going out for promotion, the crew had to handle all relevant visa procedures.

Normal expenses were also the responsibility of the crew; actors only needed to cooperate well with the promotional work.

After more than three hours of flight, the plane landed slowly in Taipei.

It is worth mentioning that.

There were quite a few of Jia Jingwen's fans at the scene to pick her up. Two years ago, *Flying Dragon in the Sky*, which she starred in, had a strong momentum after it started airing, winning the annual ratings champion in Taiwan, and she accumulated quite a bit of popularity because of it.

Screams and flashes were endless.

People asking for autographs even surrounded her tightly.

It's just a pity that all this had nothing to do with him. Li Luo, standing in the corner, looked at the scene in front of him with some envy.

"Let's go."

Wu Dun patted his shoulder and greeted him to walk out. "It won't be long before you can do this too."

"Not waiting for her?"

Li Luo tightened his backpack and hurriedly followed.

"No need to wait." Waving his hand, Wu Dun walked out happily. "Each returns to their own home, each finds their own mother. A-Long will send you to the hotel first, and I'll take you to experience Taipei's nightlife tonight."

"Relax~ Back in Taipei, it's just like being back home."

Bypassing a group of fans.

They parted ways with Jia Jingwen and went straight outside the airport.

From far away.

They saw several black commercial vehicles parked on the side of the road.

A bunch of guys in suits.

Were smoking and chatting.

Noticing Wu Dun's appearance, they hurriedly threw away their cigarette butts and bowed at the same time:

"Boss!"

Seven or eight people bowed together and shouted in unison.

This momentum was quite scary.

The passengers nearby hurriedly quickened their pace, not daring to stop and watch.

"Boss what!"

Wu Dun's momentum was even stronger at this moment, and he kicked one of them. "How many times have I told you, call me Boss when you come out. We are all businessmen, can you have some decency?"

Kicking and scolding, he completely kicked away the momentum of those social people.

"*Cough*."

Seeing Li Luo's somewhat strange expression, the bespectacled Zhang Long coughed lightly. "Actually, these are all employees of our company. They are used to joking like this."

"Hehe."

Li Luo winked at him. "Don't worry, I understand."

Social people, after all!

Always have some social habits.

He wasn't unaware of the other party's background, so he wouldn't be shocked by such things.

To avoid suspicion.

Wu Dun soon left with the motorcade.

Zhang Long also drove a commercial vehicle they left behind and took Li Luo straight to the center of Taipei.

Living two lives, this was his first time coming to Taiwan.

His curious gaze looked around.

Zhang Long, who was driving, wasn't idle either, introducing everything with his mouth. Don't look at how every time he met this guy, he was responsible for driving; his actual authority was quite important, and many liaison tasks were his responsibility.

Whenever there was an important occasion, he could always be seen appearing.

If nothing unexpected happened.

He could definitely be counted as Wu Dun's confidant.

"Eh?"

A small shop that flashed by the roadside made Li Luo's head turn along with it.

Inside a shop similar to a telephone booth, sat a Taiwanese girl with good looks. She was wearing a plaid mini-skirt, her long legs swinging in mid-air, and a bikini barely wrapped around her big breasts.

It looked precarious.

The shop was decorated with unique characteristics, and the light inside was as bright as a dressing room.

Facing the road, a circle of shining small colored lights was pasted.

It looked particularly recognizable.

"Betel Nut Beauty."

Zhang Long chuckled along, then slowed down the car. "This industry is a feature of Taiwan. Do you want to see it?"

"What do you think?"

Li Luo raised his eyebrows high.

Every time Wu Dun visited the set, this guy was always by his side, and they had played a few times in nightclubs.

No need to hide anything.

"Haha."

Zhang Long smiled and stepped on the brake, slowly driving past the betel nut shops on the roadside. Seeing the various sexy outfits of those Taiwanese girls, Li Luo shouted "addictive" in his heart.

Arriving at a place, the commercial vehicle stopped completely.

"Hello~"

Zhang Long waved at the long-legged girl sitting inside.

"What do you want?"

The long-legged girl stood up, running out in high heels. She was wearing a black three-point bikini, with a sexy thin gauze skirt draped outside, and a large tattoo on her chest was clearly visible.

"Little brother."

Seeing Li Luo sitting in the passenger seat, the Betel Nut Beauty leaned over with a smile, resting her elbows on the car window. "You look so handsome~"

Two giant breasts attacked head-on.

A lotus tattoo was right in front of his eyes.

That pungent fragrance made Li Luo hurriedly dodge backward.

"Yo."

The long-legged girl giggled and looked at Li Luo. "You're still very shy~"

Accompanied by laughter.

The soft flesh on her chest was shaking wildly.

That Taiwanese accent made his ears go numb.

"Little sister."

Listening to the soft, glutinous words, Li Luo couldn't help but smile and reply, "The way you speak is also very troublesome!"

As soon as this was said, the long-legged girl's smile became a bit stiff.

"Sorry!"

Zhang Long took over the conversation and took out 200 New Taiwan dollars. "He's joking with you, just give me 200 worth."

"Thank you, Boss."

Hearing this, the long-legged girl's face returned to its previous appearance.

After taking the banknote, she didn't rush back to get the betel nuts, but danced a very amorous dance around the commercial vehicle, letting the two people in the car feast their eyes, before going back to get the betel nuts.

"200 New Taiwan dollars."

Li Luo withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhang Long in surprise. "Not only can you buy things, but you can also get a dance?"

"Also, what was going on with her just now?"

Just that dance, you wouldn't be able to see it in a nightclub without spending money.

And she danced so sexily and enchantingly.

It's just that he didn't understand.

Why this Betel Nut Beauty changed her face so suddenly.

"Not everyone can dance."

Zhang Long stared at the Betel Nut Beauty's figure and shook his head. "There's no way, ordinary people just live like this. But why did you suddenly say others speak very 'annoying' just now?"

Not even an hour after getting off the plane.

This guy's way of speaking also carried a strong Taiwanese tone.

"What's wrong?"

Li Luo was puzzled. "Wasn't I praising her for speaking interestingly?"

"Interesting."

Looking at the bewildered Li Luo, Zhang Long burst into laughter. "You were thinking that people are very troublesome, complaining that others are putting on airs!"

Only through explanation did he learn.

It's fine to say 'annoying' among acquaintances, but among strangers, it's highly likely to be considered as scolding someone.

No wonder the Taiwanese girl's face was unhappy.

Handing over a large bag of raw betel nuts wrapped in leaves and a few disposable plastic cups, amidst Li Luo's apologies, the Betel Nut Beauty showed a happy smile and twisted her plump buttocks back to the small shop.

Zhang Long was right; everyone was just trying to make a living.

It was to fill their stomachs.

Otherwise, who would want to do this kind of work? So when it was time to apologize, he never was vague.

Curiously, he took a raw betel nut and chewed it a few times.

He hurriedly spat it out.

He couldn't stand the taste; it was too strong.

Zhang Long, on the other hand, chewed with relish, humming a Minnan folk song as he drove to the hotel.

The treatment provided to Li Luo by the crew wasn't bad.

They directly booked a business suite for him at a star-rated hotel. He could call hotel service for whatever he wanted to eat or drink, without worrying about money at all.

After giving a few instructions, Zhang Long closed the door and left.

It was nothing more than telling him not to run around, and if he went out, he should give him a call.

Li Luo naturally agreed fully.

He was here to work and couldn't cause trouble for others.

It wasn't as convenient as later generations.

Unfamiliar with the place, there was really a risk of getting lost.

According to the following itinerary, today and tomorrow were both rest days, after which high-intensity promotion would begin, holding *Heavenly Sword* fan meetings, accepting media interviews, and recording variety show promotions couldn't be left out.

Everything was arranged fully.

Using the phone number Zhang Long left for him, after reporting safety to his family and friends, Li Luo asked the hotel to fry a ribeye steak for him.

After eating and drinking his fill, he lay down on the bed to rest.

He didn't know how long it had been.

He, who was sleeping in a daze, was woken up by a phone ring.

"Hello."

Looking at the night sky outside that was already lit with neon lights, he covered his mouth and yawned. "May I ask who this is?"

"Me, A-Long."

Zhang Long's voice came from the phone. "Get up and wash up, I'll be at the hotel in an hour."

Rubbing his eyes.

Li Luo came back to his senses; he was already in Taipei.

"Mmm?"

He shook his head, shaking himself to be clearer:

"Where are we going?"

"Nightclub."

Zhang Long roared at the phone. "Taking you to experience Taipei's nightlife, get up quickly!"

Leaving a sentence, the phone hung up with a *click*.

Taipei nightlife!

Li Luo became clear-headed instantly. He threw the phone aside and washed up in the bathroom with nimble hands and feet. Every time he went out to play with Wu Dun, he would always get some task rewards.

Such things couldn't be missed.

Arriving at the lobby on time, he met Zhang Long, whom he hadn't seen for a few hours.

"You're dressed like this?"

Circling Li Luo twice, this guy couldn't help but shake his head. "To tell you the truth, you are the most casually dressed star I've ever seen!"

He had really met quite a few artists, from both sides of the strait and three places.

Don't talk about TV actors.

Even some variety show stars in Taiwan dressed in flashy clothes, afraid of not reflecting their star quality.

The other party was good.

Except for black and white, he couldn't find a third color on his clothes.

But it was also strange.

Zhang Long inexplicably felt this outfit was pleasing to the eye.

"Is there a problem?"

Li Luo shook his black thin jacket and hugged his shoulder with a smile. "I'm just an actor, not a star. Brother Long, be gentle, don't pour too much alcohol for me tonight!"

"Hey."

Zhang Long almost jumped. "When was it not you pouring for me?"

The sound of the two bantering slowly disappeared in the hotel lobby, and soon the violent roar of the engine sounded.

Taipei's night was charming in color.

Seven-colored neon flowed continuously on the shiny car body, revealing a sense of splendor of a big metropolis.

The brilliant street view along the way made Li Luo feel like he had returned to later generations.

As of now.

It really looked much more prosperous than Beijing.

Smoking cigarettes one after another, the two chatted about everything under the sun. When Li Luo was completely dizzy from the detour, the car finally stopped.

"*Whoa~*"

Looking at the long queue, Li Luo, who slammed the car door, couldn't help but shake his head. "Good guy, how long will this take to queue?"

No matter when, there's never a shortage of trendsetters.

Cool and beautiful urban men and women lined up from the entrance of the nightclub not far away to the end of the street.

There were at least one or two hundred people!

These people didn't mind the cold either. In the queue, there were all kinds of tight skirts and small dresses, and the white breasts made Li Luo dazzled.

"This is the hottest nightclub in Ximending."

Throwing the car keys to the valet who walked over, Zhang Long walked forward swaggeringly. "Queuing, that doesn't exist. Let's go, President Wu is already inside!"

"I must treat you well tonight."

Scratching his American-style front spikes, Li Luo followed the other party and walked toward the red lights and green wine.

Thanks to brother Encountering Old Friends in a Foreign Land for the 100-point tip, thank you! ===== CHAPTER 87 =====
