Chapter 96: A Million-Dollar Handshake

~14 min read 2,753 words

Looking at the busy people.

Li Luo didn't know what to do, could only stare blankly.

"Good evening."

Tying up a high ponytail, the trainer who was about 1.7 meters tall walked in front of him, smiled and extended her hand: "May I ask your surname, sir?"

"No need to be polite, surname Li."

He touched the other party's hand.

The fingers were a bit rough. Although the guests who came here weren't really aiming to let them teach ball playing, in order to perform more professionally, necessary practice was naturally indispensable.

In this weather, if they didn't follow along to move, they couldn't stand it either.

So corresponding traces would be left on the hands.

The small vest clung tightly to the abdomen.

Coming to the top, there was another amazing bulge. Li Luo was puzzled about how the other party could easily maintain balance in this situation.

"Is Mr. Li playing golf for the first time?"

Getting an affirmative answer, the trainer looked at his height and approximate arm length, and signaled Li Luo to walk with her to the position in the corner: "I'll help you choose a suitable club."

The club was in hand.

The trainer also taught him the correct grip posture hand-in-hand.

With a hot girl teaching him closely, Li Luo, who usually learned everything very quickly, was extremely clumsy at this time.

It took a lot of effort to teach him.

Soon the other party placed a golf ball and demonstrated the hitting method to Li Luo once.

"Bang~"

The girl's body turned fiercely, and the ball flew out in response.

The pleated skirt also swayed along.

Half of her buttocks were clearly visible, and her chest also swayed for a while, making Li Luo praise endlessly.

No wonder those successful people like to take girls to play golf. This sport is both stylish to say out loud, and can see such beautiful scenery, it is a perfect combination.

"Mr. Li."

The girl grabbed a ball, squatted down and placed it on the rubber tee of the ball mat: "You try once."

Looking down from above.

It was deep and bottomless, good ball!

"BANG!!!"

After the other party moved away, the club in Li Luo's hand whistled down, and after a crisp sound, the golf ball flew fiercely like a cannonball, hitting the high net dozens of meters away crookedly.

"Whoa~"

This movement made Ma Zhongjun couldn't help but raise his head: "This is a heavy artillery."

Just by the sound, he could judge that the force was great.

"This movement is wrong."

The beautiful trainer was also startled, hurriedly circled behind Li Luo, grabbed his forearm and shook it: "Just swing your arm, pay attention to the landing point, and your feet should also turn together."

Feeling the amazing pressure.

Li Luo smiled and swung back and forth in the air again and again.

A few minutes later.

Finally swung a beautiful arc.

"A-Luo."

Wu Dun's shouting rang out from behind: "Rest for a while, let's talk about something."

The meat of the play is here.

Li Luo stopped teasing the pleated skirt girl and cheered up to walk back.

Catching the flying cigar.

He sat on the spacious sofa in the rest area, looked at Ma Zhongjun and Li Sipin who were playing ball not far away, then turned and lit the already cut cigar, exhaling puffs of smoke.

"How does it feel?"

Wu Dun leaned on the sofa, his crossed legs shaking gently.

"The figure is really good."

Li Luo swirled the smoke in his mouth and exhaled slowly: "The tip shouldn't be cheap."

They were all old acquaintances.

No need to hide too much when talking.

"Just three hundred, couldn't be cheaper."

Wu Dun stood up and sat properly, slapping Li Luo's shoulder heavily: "Xiao Luo, you still don't understand a problem. Money is a fart, what men care about is career."

"As long as the career is successful, some things, even if you don't want them."

"Others will chase and send them to your door."

Three hundred yuan doesn't sound like much, but it's 2002, when the average person's monthly salary is only a few hundred.

Accompanying to play golf.

Although they have to sacrifice some things, they can easily earn half a month's salary for an ordinary person.

No wonder the trainers do their best, the money comes too fast.

But faster are people like Wu Dun.

With the assets under his name and various film and television drama copyrights, in just this short while, he has earned I don't know how many three hundreds. He doesn't have to do anything, and money continuously pours into his wallet!

So the words the other party said can be considered extremely reasonable.

Li Luo smiled and sipped his cocktail.

"You should have heard about the ratings, right?"

Wu Dun changed the subject and continued to ask: "The performance can be said to be very good, what plans do you have next?"

"What plans can I have." Li Luo smiled happily, continuing to stuff the cigar in his mouth: "Wu Ge can ask me this sentence, there must be something you want to say, I'm all ears."

"Okay, then I won't go around in circles."

Wu Dun leaned toward his direction and said straightforwardly: "I have a script with the background of *Tiying Saving Her Father* currently being polished."

"Preparing to start filming around October next year."

"No problem."

Li Luo smiled, and agreed fully: "October, right? That schedule is yours!"

Looking at the hand extended to him.

Wu Dun's expression was a bit dazed, he hadn't even finished speaking yet.

Don't need to persuade him a bit?

"No."

Wu Dun licked his lips, his ugly-fierce face looking a bit helpless: "About what role to play, who the female lead is, what kind of story it is, how much the salary is, don't you know any of it?"

The rhetoric prepared for a long time was now a waste of effort.

He knew that talking to Li Luo about a new play would be easier, after all, they had a basis for cooperation and got along very happily.

But this guy hadn't even started talking!

"Any role is fine."

Li Luo's hand hanging in mid-air didn't move, his expression was exceptionally sincere: "Acting with anyone is fine, as long as it's not a wind-moon film, it's no problem. For the salary, Wu Ge, you give what you see fit."

"As long as you open your mouth, I will agree."

"I, Li Luo, don't have many advantages."

"Gratitude is one."

"Even if I sit on the ground and raise the price to negotiate conditions, I won't do it to you, Wu Ge."

These words.

Made the old Jianghu feel warm in his heart.

Such a kind young man.

Not many to see!

"Good."

Wu Dun held his hand forcefully and said with emotion: "Enough affection and righteousness, I like it very much. Wu Ge won't treat you badly. For the new play, I still plan to use the original cast. You, Jingwen, and Yuanyuan are the three protagonists."

"Lai Shuiqing will direct."

There is a habit in the film and television circle. After a play becomes popular, if the schedule is suitable, they like to find the original cast to create a new play.

After all, the chemical reaction has already been proven, and there is no problem.

This kind of drama cannot guarantee a big hit, but it is definitely a steady profit without loss. It is the same principle as a popular movie filming a sequel.

Putting the names of a few protagonists there.

Is the guarantee of selling money.

"No problem, just send me the notice when the time comes." Li Luo held the other party's hand with a little force, his expression a bit embarrassed: "But Wu Ge, can I have an uninvited request?"

"Just say it."

Wu Dun naturally had no problem.

The other party was so kind, he was embarrassed to be sloppy.

Social people can't do that kind of thing!

"It's just."

Letting go of his hand, Li Luo scratched his head: "If possible, can you help leave one or two female roles with a little bit of lines? Don't worry, the acting is no problem, they are all female classmates in my class."

"One or two?"

Wu Dun's face was strange, and his eyes looked over playfully.

"Cough~"

Li Luo's expression was embarrassed: "Just two!"

"Hahaha~"

Wu Dun's laughter rang through the entire private room, causing Ma Zhongjun and Li Sipin, who had no intention of playing ball, to look over.

"Very good."

After a while, the laughter stopped, and Wu Dun agreed fully: "You have the demeanor of my youth. Wu Ge will help you. When the script comes out, you can pick as much as you want."

Just supporting roles, who acts is not acting.

Anyway, they are all from Beijing Film Academy, so they won't mess up small roles.

Putting on the appearance of someone who has been through it, he smiled and said: "Women, if you don't give them some sweetness, it won't work."

Neither admit nor deny.

Li Luo smiled and cupped his hands to express gratitude.

"Alright."

Wu Dun bit the cigar and lowered his voice slightly: "Remember what I just said? Those two people over there are here to send money. They both want to find you to act. Whether to take it or not depends on yourself."

"Remind you one sentence, they all know the ratings of *Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre* in Wandao."

"So no need to push back."

"If the script and price are suitable, just take it."

Dropping a few words, he stood up and walked toward Ma Zhongjun: "Your technique is too bad, change me to hit, you go rest for a while."

These words, Li Luo almost couldn't digest.

Yesterday he was still fantasizing about the scene of his endless film contracts after *Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre* was broadcast.

Never expected.

The next day such a thing suddenly happened in front of him.

Seeing the bald man who was somewhat similar to Brother B swinging his arms and walking over, Li Luo hurriedly cheered up.

He actually had a huge advantage.

Even if he hadn't seen relatively excellent domestic dramas, he would have heard of them. The reason he had to wait for *Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre* to be broadcast, besides the salary, was that he could pick scripts by then.

Being able to follow up with good plays could maintain the momentum.

If he received a bad film.

It was easy to play a good hand of cards to nothing.

But now people have come to the door, leaving him no space to pick and choose. The wording for the next steps must be considered clearly. Even if he wants to refuse, he cannot offend others!

"Hello, President Ma."

The bald man approached, Li Luo hurriedly stood up.

"Sit, sit, sit."

Ma Zhongjun waved his hand and sat down, then picked up a glass of wine: "Old Wu told you everything, right? I'll open the door and speak clearly. I've seen some clips of *Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre*, you acted well."

"President Ma is over-praising."

Li Luo sat back and nodded: "Yes, President Wu said you and President Li wanted to chat with me."

Anyway, don't clarify the meaning, everyone just chat.

See the situation before talking.

"That's good."

Ma Zhongjun changed the subject: "In the play, are you really riding?"

In the play he was about to film next.

There were many horse scenes.

And most of them were filmed on location. This question seemed irrelevant, but he was very concerned.

"It's real riding."

Li Luo pondered his words and continued: "Before filming *Xiao Ao Jianghu*, I had received equestrian training, and later when I went to Jingcheng to go to school, I also found a horse riding field to learn for a period of time."

"Actually, I know you."

Getting a satisfactory answer, Ma Zhongjun smiled: "My new play is conducting an online vote, and you have entered the big list."

Online vote.

Li Luo quickly searched his memory and blurted out: "*Ping Zong Xia Ying*?"

When he had nothing to do, he liked to go online to post. How could he miss this kind of excitement? A few days ago, he even went to quite a few chat rooms to pull a wave of votes for himself, but it was a pity that he was too far behind the first place.

Although *Ping Zong Xia Ying* didn't explode, the production was quite exquisite.

It could be counted as a good drama.

"Are you paying attention?"

Ma Zhongjun asked, and answered himself: "Also right, you are a young man."

"Surfing the Internet is a fashionable thing."

His tone was slightly tempting, spreading his hands: "How about it, you have already acted in two Jin Yong dramas, have you ever thought about trying Liang Yusheng's drama, just treat it as a challenge to yourself."

Li Luo asked: "Zhang Danfeng?"

"If it's a supporting role."

Ma Zhongjun scratched his bald head, his expression a bit helpless: "That wouldn't be worth me running a trip!"

As the main producer.

He had the confidence to say this.

Li Luo was a bit moved and asked again: "Aren't you voting?"

This drama was indeed good, not a pit.

And this *Ping Zong Xia Ying* focused on on-location filming. He liked this way of showing the Jianghu style, although it was a bit hard, the effect presented was very good.

Of course, the female lead of the drama was also a reason he was moved.

That little face, who could resist it!

Voting for the protagonist was popular for a period of time. The protagonist candidates voted by netizens would be approached one by one by the crew according to the ranking.

His vote count definitely had no play.

The flash of movement was captured by Ma Zhongjun.

"Voting is for people to see."

He made a decisive decision, his fist pressed on the sofa: "As long as you are willing, then you are the first in the vote. President Wu is everyone's friend, I don't play fake either, I'll give you 45,000 per episode."

"How is it?"

Not only a good drama, but the price was also quite sincere.

Currently, the salary of first-line TV actors is 50,000 to 60,000, and further up are the two Chens. Those two powerful actors can get about 80,000.

45,000 per episode.

Is already a quasi-first-line salary.

After *Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre* is broadcast, it will be about the same price.

"No problem."

Li Luo took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Thank you President Ma for being able to look up to me, I am not someone who doesn't know how to lift, it's just that I don't know when the schedule is, I just promised President Wu."

"No conflict."

Ma Zhongjun looked happy and showed his palm: "I'm starting filming in January."

This price, he thought it was very worth it.

Anyway, after *Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre* is broadcast, the other party will likely rise to this salary.

Now it counts as taking the schedule first. By then, the male lead with the momentum of the hit drama, the price he sells to the TV station is more than this bit of money.

People at every level see things differently.

Investors actually don't care if the salary is a bit more or less, being able to sell is the most important.

Of course, you can't give it randomly.

As an investor, you can't take the initiative to disrupt the market.

"Then it's a deal."

Li Luo held the other party's hand forcefully and set another job for next year.

Just this handshake of theirs is worth a million.

"It's a deal."

Ma Zhongjun finished talking about the matter and laughed happily.

He was happy.

Someone was unhappy.

The most anxious now was Li Sipin. Clearly, his male lead's schedule was snatched away. Although *Ping Zong Xia Ying* started filming first, the one that needed to be finalized most was his own play.

"Okay, Old Ma."

Seeing the two shake hands, he walked over hurriedly: "Go play your ball, now it's my turn."

This sentence.

Made Li Luo laugh dumbly.

Dare to say that tonight, these few people wanted to divide him up! ===== CHAPTER 97 =====
