Who is still a star after rebirth?

Chapter 143: Father is more valuable than son
Chen Miaoyi felt a little swell.

Probably because "The Emotional Master" performed very well during the Spring Festival, with box office revenue exceeding 300 million in just two weeks. The leading actor Duan Chen and the leading actress Tang Yao both made a strong presence. Chen Miaoyi, who performed fairly well in the movie, although only had a cameo role, did make an appearance in a production of this level after all, so it's understandable that she didn't watch the web drama.

So when Qian Xueying arranged this resource for Chen Miaoyi, Lin Luo wanted to refuse. Why let her eat too well? It would be troublesome if she had a picky appetite. Now it seems to be true. After seeing what a truly professional movie set is like, Chen Miaoyi finds it difficult to look down on makeshift crews like those for web dramas.

But now that things have come to this, he might as well use his power as a boss to suppress her. Lin Luo didn't even give Chen Miaoyi a chance to bargain. "Princess" had to be filmed.

Whether Chen Miaoyi complained or had rebellious intentions, Lin Luo didn't care. Even if this cash cow wanted to change jobs, she would have to wait until the contract expired. The agency contract had already arranged everything for her clearly.

This is a rare opportunity. The producers of this drama are trying to attract investment everywhere, but basically no one is interested in a low-cost web drama. Moreover, the story design of this web drama is so weird. A man becomes a woman and becomes a concubine of the emperor?
Divine gold.

Just when the crew of "Princess" was worried about where the money would come from, He Mingxuan showed up with the main task assigned by Lin Luo. He contacted the producer directly and said that Mantianxing could invest...

The producers had never heard of Mantianxing before, and after a special investigation, they discovered that this was actually a newly established studio. The legal person was Lin Luo, and there was a shareholder named Qian Xueying. The only artist who could be found under the company was Chen Miaoyi, who had just appeared in "The Master of Emotion"!

Good guy.

This small studio seemed to have a rather impressive background, and the producers were all panicked. They never thought that they would encounter a real Buddha in their small temple on the mountain.

Fortunately, He Mingxuan prepared the lines in advance, saying that our studio has recently invested in several dramas, all of which are low-cost online dramas, and this "Princess" is just one of them. If they want us to invest, there is another prerequisite, that is, the heroine must be Chen Miaoyi...

The producers felt like they had been blessed with something, and readily agreed. They even privately muttered that they were so lucky and had met someone to help them.

Since Chen Miaoyi played the third female role in "The Emotional Master" and made a name for herself, it's quite a concession for her to act in a low-cost web drama. What's more, she joined the crew with money, which is a timely help for the producers. There's nothing wrong with her playing the leading female role!
The matter was settled so easily, and "Princess" entered the project approval stage. It was just waiting for Mantianxing to transfer the money before filming could begin.

Of course, Lin Luo has no money now, and he is also waiting for the copyright fee of "Full House" to arrive.

The copyright fee was about four million. Lin Luo planned to invest three million in the TV series "Princess". After all, he knew that this drama was a great success in his previous life.

"However, if you were very successful in your previous life, it may not be the same in this life. Many accidental factors may affect the final result."

This is also the reason why Lin Luo did not go all in and left one million for himself. In case something goes wrong in this life and causes "Princess" to fail, he must be prepared. He will not be superstitious about the memories of his previous life. Those memories are only used as reference and auxiliary.

And on the other side.

After acquiring the film and television rights to "Full House", Daxiao Entertainment quickly launched the project and directly released the news that the "Double Bai CP" would work together again.

The official Weibo account even revealed directly: "In order to allow the two Bais to work together, the company spent 12 million to buy the copyright of "Full House", which is the second novel of Jiu Yue teacher..."

In the past, only those who read women's books had heard of the name "Jiu Yue". Now, many netizens in the drama circle and even the fan circle have remembered the original author of "Kim's Secretary".

Whether it is the title of another romantic masterpiece by the author of "Kim's Secretary" or the 12 million copyright fee, both are very exciting topics. The fans are really excited and are looking forward to this drama starring the two Bai Er.

This is the subsequent impact of "Kim's Secretary" as a hit during the Spring Festival. Although the popularity of this hit has not exceeded 10 million and is far from being a phenomenon, it is time to be content with the fact that a sweet idol drama can be so popular.

Seeing this situation, Lin Luo was considering whether to directly announce that he was Jiu Yue. Although he is now a big V on Weibo, his main label is Qian Xueying's younger brother, and his secondary label is a composer.

If the outside world knew that Qian Xueying's younger brother Lin Luo was Jiu Yue, the author of "Kim's Secretary", the number of fans should increase dramatically, right?
……

In the end, Lin Luo was not in a hurry to reveal the identity of "September", mainly because there was not much point in exposing it now. If he just wanted to increase his fans, why not just release a few more songs?

When talking about releasing songs, Lin Luo would think of the song "Say Goodbye and Let's Go" which was revealed by Tianqi on the day of winter vacation, and then he would think of Xiao Longyue. The two of them really broke up just like the title of the song said.

It’s time to say it or not.

Xiao Longyue really helped Lin Luo trigger the apocalypse. She even gave him a song when they broke up, and the quality seemed quite good.

But isn’t the chorus line “Don’t lie if you can’t say I love you, I just like you a little bit” too heartbreaking?

Lin Luo's mood was complicated, he even felt a little guilty. The word "love" was too luxurious. He doubted that he would never have it in his life. Even the little bit of liking he had for Xiao Longyue was beyond his expectations.

Maybe it was this little bit of inexplicable love that caused Lin Luo to be sentimental occasionally during this winter vacation. In his previous life, he would never think about the other party at all after breaking up. It’s all over, so what’s there to think about? It’s better to hope that the next one will be better.

It’s just that he has to worry about work recently, and he also remotely controlled He Mingxuan’s investment in "Princess", so Lin Luo doesn’t have much chance to look for the next one, or maybe he doesn’t have much interest in it.

Lin Luo had always been interested in his good friend Xu Yifei, but his invitation that day was rejected.

This was the first time that Lin Luo was seriously rejected by Xu Yifei. He thought about not bothering her for the time being and would talk about it after returning to school after the winter vacation. He simply did not make another appointment with her. As a result, time unknowingly came to the Lantern Festival.

The port city is located north of the Huai River and next to Shandong Province. From the perspective of traditional geographical division, it belongs to the northern territory, but it does not have large-scale central heating facilities. In terms of language, customs and food, it is closer to the cities south of the Huai River than Shandong Province. It is a bit like a transitional area between the north and the south?

According to the local customs, people generally don't care about the Lantern Festival, but sometimes they care about it for no apparent reason.

For example, this year’s Lantern Festival.

Lin Luo's parents insisted on having a dinner with Zhang Mingyang's family, saying that the two families wanted to celebrate the Lantern Festival together.

I remember the last time Zhang Mingyang and his family came to visit Lin Luo's house, Lin Luo was not there at the time. They just made a video call and had a brief chat.

This time it was Lin Luo's family's turn to go to Zhang Mingyang's house for a dinner. Since Lin Luo was at home, he couldn't not go. He would probably have to toast Uncle Zhang with two glasses of wine in the evening.

That night, as the family prepared to leave, Dad suddenly said to Mom calmly, "My car has a problem. Shall we take our son's car?"

“Isn’t that too high-profile?”

My mother subconsciously felt that it was too high-profile. Lin Luo's car was worth a million. After all, Zhang Mingyang was a man who had seen the world, so he would definitely recognize him.

Lin Luo glanced at his father, vaguely sensing his inner uneasiness, and smiled, "What's the big deal? It's just a means of transportation after all."

As he said that, Lin Luo threw the key to his father Lin Yu: "Dad, you drive it. I don't remember how to get to Uncle Zhang's house."

"Row……"

Lin Yu was relieved to see that Lin Luo did not refuse. He guessed that his son, who was becoming more and more intelligent, must have seen through his little thoughts, so he wanted to fulfill his wish.

In fact, Lin Yu also knew that his thoughts were very vulgar and boring.

To put it bluntly, he just wanted to ride in his son's luxury car to Zhang Mingyang's house to show off to this old friend he had known for many years. Although Lin Yu and Zhang Mingyang had known each other for many years, they looked like good brothers who were equals.

In fact, seeing Zhang Mingyang's career becoming more and more successful, Lin Yu felt a little inferior in his heart. He had become a big boss, while he was still working in a factory.

Zhang Mingyang took the initiative to suggest that Lin Yu work in his factory and promised to arrange a good position for him.

However, Lin Yu's self-esteem did not allow him to accept this kind of help. He shook his head and rejected the other party, although he actually wanted to accept that help in his heart.

Later, Lin Yu actually regretted it.

How much is self-esteem worth? Zhang Mingyang is my old friend. He sees that I’m having a hard time and wants to help me. Why don’t I agree to it and make more money so that my family can live a better life?
But he had already refused, and it was not easy to tell Zhang Mingyang about this, so he could only let it go. This made Lin Yu feel more inferior, and there were even moments when he would be jealous of Zhang Mingyang, but of course this jealousy was only fleeting.

In Lin Yu's heart, he actually admired Zhang Mingyang more. He had already given in and admitted that he was not as capable as Zhang Mingyang.

It was those subtle psychological factors that made Lin Yu increasingly resistant to contact with Zhang Mingyang.

Especially after Zhang Mingyang's family moved to the newly purchased villa, Lin Yu and Zhang Mingyang had little contact. After all, they were people from two different worlds.

Especially as Zhang Mingyang's net worth grew, he had more and more friends, and his work became busier and busier, he basically forgot about Lin Yu's existence.

But last summer vacation, by chance, Lin Luo took Zhang Mingyang's car to go to school to register.

After coming back, Zhang Mingyang didn't know what was wrong with him, he started to reconnect with his old friend Lin Yu, and even organized a dinner together.

At that dinner, Lin Yu finally understood that Zhang Mingyang had taken a fancy to his son and even intended to have his son become his son-in-law?

Although Zhang Mingyang spoke vaguely and seemed to be joking, Lin Yu was sure that this old friend suddenly came to be intimate with him because of his son.

It would be a lie to say that I was unhappy inside. After all, Zhang Mingyang really admired Lin Luo and praised him implicitly and implicitly.

But Lin Yu still had a sense of inferiority that "my family is not as good as yours", which made his contact with Zhang Mingyang more or less awkward.

It wasn't until this year when my son had his winter vacation that he drove home a million-dollar luxury car!
Although Lin Yu knew that Zhang Mingyang's family could also afford a million-dollar luxury car, his back still straightened uncontrollably, because his son Lin Luo, who was only a freshman this year, had already earned more than one million by writing novels!

even.

My son’s novel was made into a TV series. Lin Yu watched it online and found that many people liked it!
Although Lin Yu didn't quite understand the TV series and felt it was just about love between a man and a woman, his inner pride was overflowing, and he wanted to announce to the world:

I, Lin Yu, may not be very capable, but I have a promising son!

Of course, the person Lin Yu most wanted to share this pride with was his most powerful friend Zhang Mingyang.

"I'm not as good as you, but my son won't be worse than you in the future. He earned more than one million yuan in his freshman year, bought a million-dollar luxury car with his own ability, and his novels were adapted into very popular TV series. He is a very popular writer..."

Of course, Lin Yu would not say this directly, but he thought about it countless times in his heart!
So tonight, Lin Yu didn't want to drive his own car, he wanted to take Lin Luo's car so that Zhang Mingyang could see it.

I didn't expect my son to give me the keys and let me drive it. That would be even better. Lin Yu has never driven such a good car.

After getting in the car, Lin Yu was obviously nervous and kept asking Lin Luo how to operate.

Lin Luo sat in the passenger seat and explained a few words to his father, and he finally understood what was going on.

He must have felt somewhat proud and complacent inside. When he stepped on the accelerator, Lin Yu's eyes were actually shining.

I am an old man, but I am still young and crazy...

Well, we are really talking about young people. The car belongs to my son Lin Luo and has nothing to do with me.

However, in the Chinese concept, father and son are one. If there is the saying of rich second generation, then there is naturally the saying that the father is honored by his son.

Lin Luo is capable, and Lin Yu is prestigious, so others will not think that he is just taking advantage of it.

Even if Zhang Mingyang praised Lin Luo in person, he would probably also praise him by the way: "You, Lin Yu, have successfully raised your son."

This is enough for Lin Yu.

No matter how proud he was inside, when he drove to the largest wealthy area in the port city, Lin Yu was still very nervous.

There are villas everywhere, and there are also some million-dollar luxury cars parked on the roadside, which are no worse than Porsche.

So Zhang Mingyang belongs to this class?
Lin Yu knew that Zhang Mingyang was different from him, he was a big boss.

But when he really arrived at Zhang Mingyang's villa, this overwhelming and intuitive feeling still stimulated Lin Yu a little.

"I saw Uncle Zhang."

Lin Luo saw that Zhang Mingyang, his wife Shen Qiu, and their daughter Zhang Xinyin were standing by the road waiting.

However, Zhang Mingyang's family clearly overlooked Lin Luo's Porsche Cayenne.

Until Lin Yu parked the Porsche next to the three of them, lowered the window, and shouted with a smile:
"Happy Lantern Festival!"

Seeing Lin Yu in the driver's seat, Zhang Mingyang and Shen Qiu's expressions were all stunned, and even Zhang Xinyin's expression was a little surprised.

Correct!
That’s the expression!

His eyes were fixed on Zhang Mingyang's reaction. At this moment, Lin Yu was overwhelmed with joy!

"This is where I am not as good as Zhang Mingyang. It's too vulgar, so vulgar, but it's really cool."

Lin Yu thought so in his heart.
