Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 731 Xu Youyu is marked in red
The contract signing was done, and the future development direction of Rekindling Culture was clarified. Li Luo felt temporarily relieved, but at the same time, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was inexplicably heavier.

After coming out of the conference room, Li Luo asked Ruan Lin and Lu Yilan to add Ying Chanxi's WeChat to facilitate subsequent communication.

Seeing that it was still early for lunch, Li Luo called Lawyer Tian to join him and planned to have a chat with Ruan Lin and her daughter first to confirm their initial intentions and make it easier for them to think about it after they returned.

"Uncle Ying, are you still going to be busy?" Li Luo asked Ying Zhicheng as he walked out of the meeting room. "It's rare for Xixi to come to the company to see you. How about we find a place to have lunch together at noon?"

"Okay." Ying Zhicheng nodded. "I don't have anything to do. It's time for fitness later."

"fitness?"

"Yeah, I was just about to go there too." Yuan Wanqing said with a smile, "I usually have scheduled fitness classes, and your uncle Ying will also go to the gym to do some boxing or something to exercise his body."

"Oh, yes." Li Luo nodded suddenly, remembering that Ying Chanxi had mentioned before that Ying Zhicheng seemed to have always had a habit of fitness.

But why do you still practice boxing?
Ying Zhicheng has the standard body shape where he looks thin when dressed and muscular when undressed, and he has maintained a very good fitness result.

Standing together with Yuan Wanqing, the two people's temperaments are quite compatible, and they don't give people the vulgar feeling that a greasy middle-aged man deliberately takes advantage of a big star.

"Do you want to join us?" Ying Zhicheng clenched his fist. "I heard from Xixi that you are also working out now. Do you want to try boxing? This is quite helpful for people like you who sit and write for a long time."

"It's not impossible, but let's do it next time." Li Luo said with a cough, fearing that Ying Zhicheng would take the opportunity to retaliate, and quickly declined, "I will accompany Xixi first and try to get in touch with Ruan Lin and the others."

"Okay." Ying Zhicheng didn't force it. He nodded and took Yuan Wanqing away temporarily. "We'll go to the restaurant next door for lunch later."

"Ok."

……

It was still around ten o'clock in the morning. Li Luo called Ruan Lin and Lu Yilan into the conference room, and then handed the case over to Ying Chanxi and lawyer Tian for discussion.

He and Yan Zhusheng sat on the other side so as not to disturb Ying Chanxi from practicing his abilities.

To be honest, even though Ying Chanxi usually acts shy and like an ordinary little girl in front of Li Luo.

But when it came time to get down to business, with her experience as a class monitor since childhood, and as student union president in high school, she was able to get into the role instantly when faced with such matters.

Although I have just started learning related content in college, the knowledge I have been exposed to is still relatively superficial.

But it is more than enough for the current situation.

After all, Li Luo's side is a pure seller's market, with control over productivity and discourse power, while Ying Chanxi is on the strong side, and the main test is to grasp the other party's scale.

If you are too tight, you will seem unkind and greedy, and even if the deal is reached, it will make the other party feel resentful.

But if you are a little loose, it will appear that you are taking advantage of the other party, which may increase the other party's greed or even make them look down upon you.

With the help of the experienced lawyer Arita, there won't be any big problems.

After a conversation, around eleven o'clock, Li Luo received a message from Ying Zhicheng about the restaurant, so he stood up and greeted Ying Chanxi and Lawyer Tian, ​​and temporarily stopped communicating with Ruan Lin and the others.

"You two can go back and think about it carefully. I will also study your demands again." Ying Chanxi said seriously, "We will contact each other later."

"Okay, okay." Lv Yilan smiled and nodded. "Then we won't bother you anymore. Bye first, Linlin, say goodbye to Teacher Chongran and the others."

"Yeah..." Ruan Lin nodded obediently, said goodbye to Li Luo and the others, and left with her mother.

Li Luo didn't expect that Lu Yilan seemed to respect Ying Chanxi quite a bit.

It's not the kind of respect that's given for his face, but there are other factors involved.

But what he didn't know was that Ruan Lin had already told Lu Yilan in private that this beautiful girl named Ying Chanxi was Ying Zhicheng's daughter.

This is what Ruan Lin knew when she was on the crew.

When Lu Yilan learned the news, she naturally did not dare to neglect Ying Chanxi because of his age.

In particular, it seems that Li Luo and Ying Chanxi have a very good relationship, and Li Luo and Ying Zhicheng work closely together.

Lu Yilan wouldn't believe that these two families had no connection.

She even educated her daughter: "Look at her. What did you say two years ago? You had a crush on Teacher Chongran and wanted to date her. What about now?"

"Mr. Ying has such a good eye, how could he give you this opportunity?"

"Boss Ying's daughter has already made her move. She is close to the water and has the upper hand. She will definitely guard against it tightly. How can there be any loophole for you to exploit?"

Ruan Lin wanted to retort, saying that there was more than one Ying Chanxi around Teacher Chongran.

But after thinking about it, I felt there was no need, so I just kept silent.

Li Luo asked Ying Chanxi, "How was it? Is this your first real-life business negotiation?"

"Not bad." Ying Chanxi blinked, not seeming to find it difficult. "According to Lawyer Tian, ​​artists like Ruan Lin who are a little famous but still considered newcomers have relatively standard template contracts."

"I negotiated based on a five-year contract with a 70% profit margin."

"The other mother still seems a little hesitant. I guess she needs to go home and think about it again."

"But she also asked some questions. I can't make the final decision on this matter. I need to ask your opinion."

"You say." Li Luo nodded.

"The heroine of 'The Beginning' is a resource that will definitely be given after signing the contract, otherwise people won't sign it." Ying Chanxi said, "But after this, what other resources can we provide to guarantee Ruan Lin's future acting career?"

"The copyright of 'Daqian Night Patrol' will be sold next year," said Li Luo. "It's a large-scale costume drama, and it's likely to be invested by Penguin. By then, even if the female lead is not good enough, there will definitely be a spot for at least a key female supporting role."

“Although I’m Not a Celebrity is about entertainment, it seems that some people are willing to buy the copyright, and roles in this area can be arranged.”

"But there's no need to say so much. It's good enough to have the resources of "Daqian Night Patrol"."

"The follow-up will mainly be some endorsements and other external script resources."

Ying Chanxi couldn't help but blink when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Do we have any other resources for endorsements and other scripts?"

"We don't have it, but Uncle Ying and Aunt Yuan do." Li Luo said with a smile, "Connections are something that should be utilized."

"Especially Aunt Yuan, she must have a lot of endorsement invitations."

"We should get some smaller brand resources over here and connect with them. We can always succeed."

"As for the script, on the one hand, it's Director Wang's studio. After the filming of 'The Beginning' is finished, with his fame, there will definitely be no shortage of scripts for him to shoot."

"If Ruan Lin really wants to take on a role, there will definitely be no shortage of this."

"On the other hand, I have a good relationship with some of the platinum bosses at Qidian. If they have sold the copyright, they will start filming."

"I can also sell my face. At least there will be a chance for me to go directly to the final round of auditions."

Li Luo just said this casually according to his train of thought. He didn't know the result until he thought about it carefully and found that his network of contacts was indeed not simple.

At least for small artists like Ruan Lin, signing a contract with Reignite Culture will not be a losing deal.

Even though they will take more than half of the profits, it is hard to say what will happen to Ruan Lin in the future without Li Luo's support.

If an artist like her takes on a few bad dramas, it would be easy for her to fall to the bottom, and she would have to work hard in the industry for many years before she would have a chance to come out on top.

In the entertainment industry, connections and resources are always much more influential than the actors themselves. It doesn’t matter if you have good acting skills. If you can’t even get an audition, what’s the point of having good acting skills?
There are a lot of people with good acting skills in the National Grand Theatre, but only a few of them can really stand out.

"Don't rush to tell others about the benefits I mentioned above," Li Luo said. "You should decide the scale yourself."

"I know." Ying Chanxi nodded seriously, "I'm not that stupid."

"Sister, you are usually stupid." Yan Zhusheng said from the side.

"How am I stupid?!" Ying Chanxi retorted angrily, "I'm usually very smart, I just don't use my intelligence in some weird places!"

These words obviously had a hidden meaning, but Yan Zhusheng pretended not to understand and walked out holding Li Luo's arm.

Because Lawyer Tian was still there, Li Luo pulled her hand away and whispered, "Be careful of the impact outside, especially inside Huayue Film and Television."

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng nodded obediently.

After parting with Ruan Lin and her daughter, the group headed towards the restaurant next door.

Lawyer Tian did not intend to disturb their family dinner, so he took his leave first, saying that they could call him anytime if they needed anything later.

Although Lawyer Tian has not joined Rekindle Culture, he has signed a cooperation agreement and will provide 100% assistance in legal matters.

Li Luo is also his loyal old client. A large part of Lawyer Tian’s current income comes from Chongran Culture.

If Rekindling Culture can really grow and develop in the future, Li Luo would like to recruit Lawyer Tian as part of the team.

After all, Lawyer Tian is also a top student who graduated from Qianda University and must have a wide network of contacts. If we set up a legal department in the future, we can start with him.

"You can also ask your father at the dinner table later if there is anything you need to add." Li Luo said as they walked, "You can also communicate more with Lawyer Tian later."

"Yes, I know." Ying Chanxi nodded vigorously.

For most students, it is rare for them to have the opportunity to come into contact with real cases and take a leading role as soon as they enter college, as she did.

Ying Chanxi naturally knew that opportunities were rare, so he had to make good use of them, take them seriously, and improve himself.

She must not let Li Luo down.

……

After lunch, Ying Zhicheng and Yuan Wanqing went back to work.

Li Luo drove Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng back home.

In the afternoon, Li Luo started typing. Halfway through, Yan Zhusheng walked in with a cell phone in his hand and asked Li Luo, "Are we free tomorrow?"

"what happened?"

"Huanhuan wants us to go to her house to play." Yan Zhusheng shook the phone and handed it to Li Luo to see. "To be precise, she wants to ask Zhao Rongjun to go, but Zhao Rongjun is a little afraid."

Li Luo was speechless: "...Why is he afraid? He has been there before, how come he doesn't dare to go now that he's her boyfriend?"

"In the past, he always went with other people." Yan Zhusheng said, "It seems that he has never gone alone before, so he doesn't dare to go."

"Okay, okay." Li Luo waved his hand. "Then let's just treat it as a National Day dinner. We have to go to the villa again tomorrow. Some furniture has already arrived. We can go there to see how it's installed."

"Okay, then I'll tell Huanhuan?" Yan Zhusheng nodded and asked.

"Well, go ahead." Li Luo said, "Are there any others?"

"There are four of us." Yan Zhusheng counted on his fingers, "There are also Xinyan, Ren Zheng, and Hua Xiuxiu."

"Hua Xiuxiu?"

"Yes." Yan Zhusheng nodded. "She has a good relationship with Ren Zheng, and Ren Zheng is now Huanhuan's roommate, so she invited them all."

"Okay." Li Luo said, "That's it, go tell Xixi and Sister Youyu as well."

"Oh."

After finalizing tomorrow's schedule, Li Luo glanced at Yan Zhusheng's back as he left the bedroom, and then returned to his writing career.

After completing today's coding task, Li Luo was not idle. He opened another document, thought about it again and again, and typed a line of words in the document naming column.

——Short video copywriting and planning.

Considering that Yuan Wanqing may cooperate with Douyin in the future, it would be a good idea to prepare for it in advance.

Li Luo thought about this and started typing on the keyboard again.

After dinner, he took a short rest.

As a result, I received a message from editor Qianzhou.

[Qianzhou]: The situation has been quite strict recently, so please be more careful when you type.

[Qianzhou]: But you usually have a plain diet, so you don’t need to worry too much. Just proceed as normal. It shouldn’t affect you.

【Reignite】: What’s going on?
[Qianzhou]: There has been a large-scale Internet cleaning campaign recently, and it is estimated that a batch of books will be removed.

[Qianzhou]: I have checked both of your books for you, and there is no problem.

[Qianzhou]: So I’m just telling you so that you can be a little more careful.

[Rekindle]: Oh, I see.

After reading the chat records of editor Qianzhou, Li Luo couldn't help but sigh.

In his impression, the bookless platinum from Qidian was probably banned from reading books during this period, resulting in him not having a single book under his control...

It is precisely because of these previous lessons that Li Luo has always controlled his driving speed to ensure that he does not exceed the standard.

Since the editor said it was no big deal, Li Luo didn't need to worry too much and just informed Xu Youyu.

Obviously, Qianzhou has also reminded Xu Youyu to be more restrained recently.

After all, even though someone may be terrible at driving in real life, the driving techniques in his mind are much richer than his.

"Damn it! I've been marked in red for over fifty chapters!" Xu Youyu angrily walked into Li Luo's room, plopped down on the bed, and swung his legs to vent his dissatisfaction, "When will this be revised?!"

"Why are there so many red marks?" Li Luo was a little surprised.

"'Gu Dao Chang Qing' was fine, because you reminded me before, so I was quite restrained in reading this book, and only three chapters were marked in red." Xu Youyu gritted his teeth and said, "As a result, 'Literary Age' had more than 40 chapters marked in red!"

"It seems like you have a long history of bad deeds." Li Luo smiled helplessly, "Just change yourself, it's better than being banned."

"I'm not in the mood to write anymore. I'm going to take a leave now!" Xu Youyu got up from the bed, turned his head and looked at Li Luo, and pushed him towards the bathroom, "Let's go!"

"What are you doing?"

"Let him mark me in red! I will do all the positions marked in red today!"

Li Luo: "...That's probably pretty bad."
