Chapter 94: Just Seventy Thousand

"Zhang Wuji?"

"Li Luo?"

The two spoke in unison.

Li Sipin looked to the side, then hurriedly stared at Wu Dun: "Old Wu, you're not lying to me, right? The actor playing Zhang Wuji actually has no film contracts on hand right now? How is this possible?"

Among those present, not one was a fool.

Wu Dun had been so obvious that they could immediately guess who the other party was referring to.

The "explode in popularity" mentioned earlier also became a matter of course.

Everyone was mixing in this circle and understood what it meant for a TV series to break 5 in ratings after just a few episodes. If they said the male lead wouldn't explode, they really wouldn't believe it.

Being able to sign a film contract at this time was indeed taking a big bargain.

Even if they paid the first-line price in advance, it wouldn't be a loss; what they wanted was the popularity of someone carrying a hit drama.

For a time, the expressions of everyone present were a bit moved.

Sometimes playing the male lead depends on connections, but the biggest connection is being able to sell!

That is market value.

This is why popular actors always have endless film contracts and scripts lined up to be delivered; being able to help the boss make money is the most solid connection.

"Zhongjun, do you know Li Luo?"

Wu Dun ignored Li Sipin and looked at the bald man beside him.

Just now, it was the other party who blurted out Li Luo's name, so he was a bit curious. By logic, that guy shouldn't have entered the other party's vision right now.

"Hmm."

Ma Zhongjun scratched his bald head and lit a cigarette casually: "A new play I invested in is conducting an online vote to select the male and female leads. That Li Luo is currently the eighth in the vote."

"So I have some impression."

"Old Ma, don't interrupt first."

Li Sipin grabbed his glass and drank it in one gulp, showing the empty bottom of the glass: "Wu Ge, I've finished mine first. Is what you just said true?"

"What interruption~"

Ma Zhongjun also drank the wine in his glass in one gulp: "It just shows you know how to toast, I'm also looking for a male lead!"

"Hahaha!!!"

The funny reaction of the two made the group of people in the private room burst into laughter.

The assistants waiting outside looked at each other, not knowing what could make these big shots who could call the wind and rain in the film and television circle laugh like this.

"He really has no film contracts on hand."

Wu Dun laughed until tears streamed down, took off his gold-rimmed glasses and wiped them: "Li Luo is a very solid person, and also very smart."

"He is very diligent when filming, and if he can do it himself, he will never use a stunt double."

"He can also calm down and wait for opportunities."

Situated at the top of the food chain, they said whatever they had, and their evaluation of an actor would be very objective. These few words of praise made even Ma Zhongjun, who was joining the fun, completely moved.

"But let's say it in advance!"

Wu Dun put up a preventive shot again: "I'm going to find him for a play at the end of next year, don't fight with me for this schedule."

Alright then.

This completely dispelled the doubts.

It wasn't just talk; he was going to continue to find the other party to act. This was not ordinary satisfaction.

"President Li."

Hesitating for a moment, Ma Zhongjun turned his head to look at Li Sipin: "When will your ancient costume drama start filming?"

"About May."

Li Sipin thought for a moment and gave the time.

"I'm at the beginning of the year."

Ma Zhongjun's face was happy, and he looked at Wu Dun again: "The scenes should be filmed tightly, it should be done in about three months, the schedules don't overlap. How about Wu Ge take some time to invite him out for a chat?"

Hearing that the schedules didn't conflict, Li Sipin had no objections.

If there are leaks, everyone can pick them up together.

"I'm flying to Jingcheng tomorrow, and by the way, I'll tell Li Luo about the new play."

Wu Dun put on his gold-rimmed glasses again and picked up his glass: "If you have time, you can come together. If not, I'll leave a phone number."

"Together, together."

Li Sipin poured wine and raised his glass as well.

"Go together!"

Ma Zhongjun didn't hesitate either.

With a familiar person together, everything is easier to talk about.

Satisfied or not, we'll see after meeting.

They had long been accustomed to this kind of thing. Let alone a protagonist, if there was a good script, a few people could pull up a crew over a drink.

This is the purpose of gathering together.

Everyone communicates with each other.

Jingcheng, inside the villa.

Li Luo lay down and looked at the TV, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed.

"What's wrong?"

Slender fingers gently pressed his head, and a gentle voice rang out: "Received a text message, look at how happy you are, just like winning the lottery."

"About the same."

Kissing the thigh he was resting on forcefully, Li Luo looked up happily: "Just received news from an actor in the same crew, my drama's ratings broke 5. Do you know what this means?"

"There are over a million people watching the drama I'm acting in."

"It's a drama I starred in!"

"Didn't more people watch *Xiao Ao Jianghu*?" Yu Feihong reacted quickly and kissed his forehead: "But this is your first time starring, breaking 5 in Wandao is already not bad."

On her earlobe, a brilliant silver light flashed.

That was the earring he bought back from Wandao. Every time they met, she would wear it. It seemed she was quite satisfied with this gift.

Li Luo couldn't help but reach out and flick it gently, watching the hollowed-out little dolphin swaying on it.

Although the thing was small, it was very exquisite.

Of course.

The price was also very exquisite.

A tiny pair of Cartier silver ornaments cost over 10,000 yuan.

Plus the bracelet given to Xu Qing.

These 30,000-plus yuan were his biggest expenses when going to Wandao. Huang Shengyi and Bian Xiaoxiao also had corresponding small ornaments. Although the price was much worse, they were exquisite enough.

Women, you always have to spend some money to coax them.

You can't always eat for free.

Just now, kneeling behind her, seeing the little dolphin jumping around, he felt this expense was worth it.

"Right."

This action reminded Yu Feihong.

Signaling Li Luo to move aside, she climbed toward the bedside table, and soon came back with a small box: "You are often in the crew, I also bought you a very practical little item."

"Comrade Yu Feihong."

Looking at the thing in her hand, Li Luo put his hands behind his head: "I sent a gift, is it for you to return the gift?"

"Of course not."

Lying on his body, Yu Feihong hurriedly explained: "Classmate Li Luo, I've accepted the gift you sent, are you unwilling to wear the gift I sent you?"

The soft flesh on her chest was pressed flat.

Her waist twisted, and she acted like a spoiled child again: "Just accept it, don't be a killjoy."

Just this appearance.

Where was there any trace of the intellectual and cold appearance in front of people.

"Alright."

Li Luo really couldn't resist this appearance, he looked over curiously: "What is it?"

"Surprise~"

Yu Feihong smiled charmingly and opened the small box.

A flash of silver light shone from inside.

"A watch?"

Li Luo sat up.

"That's right."

Crossing her legs, Yu Feihong took out the watch inside with a smile, grabbed Li Luo's hand, and seriously buckled it onto his wrist: "I know you don't like flashy things."

"So I chose this Yacht-Master model."

"It's convenient to check the time in the crew later, how is it, do you like it?"

Silver metal strap, gray-black dial.

The style was quite simple.

It was indeed the type he liked.

Only the ROLEX logo and the silver crown on the dial made the watch look suddenly not simple.

To be convenient to check the time, so she bought him a Rolex.

Li Luo didn't know what to say.

"How much?"

He shook his wrist, the size and weight were very suitable.

"Hmm~"

Yu Feihong shook her head and hummed, just smiling.

"I really like the gift you sent." Li Luo held her hand and said seriously: "It's just that if it's too expensive, I can't wear it out, it's not good to be too flashy."

"Alright then."

The woman then relaxed, smiling and gesturing: "Not expensive, just seventy thousand."

"You can afford it, wear it generously."

He could indeed afford it.

The salary for *Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre* was 600,000 in total, 180,000 in taxes, 150,000 for the car, leaving 270,000. Subtracting the gifts and other expenses, he also remitted tens of thousands back to his family.

Now on hand, there was only a little over 200,000.

His brain must have been pulled to spend more than one-third of his net worth on a watch.

But barely, it was within the consumption range.

He wasn't afraid of wearing it out for others to see.

Fortunately, it was only two or three months until *Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre* was broadcast in the Mainland. The data in Wandao was so good, proving the quality of the drama was no problem. By then, as long as it was broadcast, the salary would rise by a large margin.

He wouldn't be scared to the point of not daring to go home.

Li Luo wasn't a stingy guy. If he had the ability, he was also willing to build a building for his alma mater.

Doing charity actually has benefits.

It can gild the body.

But the rumors in his hometown were getting more and more outrageous, from him earning hundreds of thousands, rapidly rising to millions. It was estimated that by the time the TV show was broadcast, it would become tens of millions.

So this year for the New Year, he could only stay outside.

"Then thank you."

Li Luo took back his thoughts, pushed Yu Feihong down gently with both hands: "Just like when I sent you a gift, now that I've received a gift, I must also express my gratitude."

"No, you're doing it again!!!"

Backhand tightly clutching the bed sheet, Feihong's fingers grabbed forcefully, causing countless wrinkles.

"Hateful."

Staring at the man above, she gritted her teeth and said: "I still wanted to tell you a story."

"What story?"

Li Luo pulled her up again.

Incarnating into an old tree.

"A-Jiu... Bandit, Monk, Ghost."

Yu Feihong's voice was intermittent, and soon she rolled her eyes again: "You guy... too bad, I'll tell you another day, ah~~~"

The next afternoon.

Li Luo shook his hands and opened the book.

It wasn't pretending.

For a man, a watch is like a toy.

Just got it.

Naturally, there was a sense of freshness.

"You bought a watch?"

The object on his wrist was noticed by Huang Shengyi, who walked to his side. She leaned over to look and said enviously: "It's a Rolex!"

Luxury brands, she knew them well.

"Just a watch."

Li Luo pretended to be cool: "You'll be able to afford it later."

"Don't know when that will be."

Huang Shengyi sat next to Li Luo at the back of the lecture hall, looking at the sparse seats with a worried face: "*Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre* will be broadcast soon, right? Jia Naiming went to film."

"Xiao Xiao was also chosen as the female lead, only I have achieved nothing."

Jia Naiming got a supporting role with some weight in an urban drama. At that time, Huang Shengyi didn't feel anything.

But just a while ago.

Bian Xiaoxiao was also chosen by a crew looking for actors at the school.

Directly starring as the female lead in a movie.

Although it was just a small-investment drama, it was highly likely it wouldn't even make it to theaters, but it was enough to make her feel envious and frustrated.

"Don't worry."

Seeing the teacher walk into the classroom, Li Luo lowered his voice: "Everyone's encounters are different. Actually, just treat their filming as an internship. You can practice acting just the same at school."

"You say it easily, I also want to have an internship opportunity."

Huang Shengyi supported her chin with both hands and sighed lightly: "Even if I don't make it to the screen in the end, it counts as a qualification."

"Hmm."

Li Luo grabbed a pen and scribbled on the textbook: "That makes sense."

"Wait until next year."

Looking up at the teacher lecturing, he continued to whisper: "If filming goes smoothly next year, I'll try my best to get you a role, can't guarantee the amount of scenes!"

Consider it a return of courtesy.

This girl was really quite capable, helping him gain a lot of experience.

Getting a small role with a name.

Should be doable.

"Really?"

Huang Shengyi's eyes brightened.

After paving the way for so long, she was waiting for this sentence.

There are differences between dramas and dramas. Some dramas don't even have a chance to be broadcast after filming, some dramas can be broadcast but don't make a splash, and some dramas are destined to be the focus of media pursuit.

Being a small supporting role in a big drama is better than being a big supporting role in an unknown small drama.

The ones Li Luo can get are highly likely to be big dramas.

"I'll try my best."

Li Luo nodded slightly to her: "No guarantees."

"Having this sentence is enough."

Huang Shengyi smiled happily, showing her silver teeth. She quickly looked at the sparse seats in front, behind, left, and right, and leaned closer to him: "Classmate Li Luo, do you want some rewards?"

Before he could respond, the girl quietly lowered a hand.

Immediately after.

The zipper was gently pulled.

Li Luo first felt a chill, then slowly experienced the girl's small hand skillfully pulling the radish.

He exhaled lightly, watching the six directions and listening to all directions.

Should have said there was a reward earlier!

Why waste words, just give the reward and be done with it~

The sound of lecturing echoed constantly in the classroom.

Li Luo's pen tip also moved back and forth on the textbook, walking up and down, the amplitude getting larger and larger, until it drew the shape of an electrocardiogram.

The timing was about right.

Huang Shengyi's pencil accidentally fell to the ground.

She took a deep breath.

Buried her head down quickly.

When the girl picked up the fallen pencil, Li Luo also considerately offered a tissue.

【Learning and entertainment are both correct, life will not treat those who work hard badly】

【Indulgence successful】

【Reward: Body of Immunity (Primary)】

Quickly focusing his attention on the newly acquired skill, Li Luo's eyes became brighter and brighter. The newly acquired attribute could effectively help him immunize against common minor illnesses, such as colds, fevers, and the like.

Since that's the case, then if it rises to intermediate or advanced.

Ouch~

Then it means he will have no problems in the future.

God-level attribute!

"Don't worry."

Li Luo was in a great mood, reached out and pinched Huang Shengyi's cheek: "I said it, I will definitely do it!"

The latter swallowed.

Shyly wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue. ===== CHAPTER 95 =====
