Huayu, can you be called the best actor if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 595 Initial Formation
Liang Jiahui bids farewell to morning runs.

Li Luo drove straight to the main building of the hotel not far away.

In stark contrast to the antique charm of the courtyard area, the main part of the Xinghuo Hotel is extremely modern, with the entire exterior of the building composed of glass curtain walls that gleam in the sunlight.

A huge sign with the words "Spark" hangs prominently above the hotel.

Go via the national highway.

It's impossible to ignore.

The hotel consists of a main building and an annex, which are separated from the national highway and the surrounding area by a grove of trees, walls, and landscaping, creating a relatively private space.

In addition to basic accommodation and catering services.

The hotel also offers a variety of facilities and services, including a sauna area, spa, gym, banquet hall, and meeting rooms.

For privacy reasons.

The hotel features an executive lounge on its upper floors.

Providing relatively quiet and comfortable dining and leisure services for high-end hotel guests is very important, and as someone in the industry, Li Luo understands very well what celebrities need.

It has its own elevator.

A relatively private living area.

Dining, leisure, and entertainment can all take place in an environment with corresponding entry requirements.

For guests who can't afford to stay in the courtyard area.

It also provides a sense of superiority.

Don't underestimate this feeling; differentiated services are sometimes the key to making money.

Celebrities and actors are used to spending lavishly, not to mention that film crews have corresponding hospitality clauses, so they definitely don't mind paying a premium to make themselves comfortable.

Walk around the large fountain in front of the hotel.

Drive onto the covered walkway.

Just as Li Luo had parked the car, the door was swiftly opened by someone who walked over quickly.

"Mr. Li."

Chen Chen smiled and took a step back, casually protecting the top of the frame.

"Thank you."

Li Luo got out of the car with a smile.

The imposing figure exuded a sense of oppression that made Chen Chen involuntarily take another step back. He looked at his boss's physique in surprise, and then quickly lowered his eyes.

This is your boss's boss, not someone you can look at at will.

"Well done."

Stomping his foot, Li Luo looked around at the elegant surroundings.

I completely missed the hotel's trial operation and official opening; Lin Yue was the one who took charge of everything.

However, he knew very well that the handsome hotel general manager beside him had put in a great deal of effort into the construction and completion of the hotel, and was worthy of the annual salary of 150,000 yuan and several percentage points of bonus he had offered.

Chen Chen has an impressive and solid resume in the international hotel industry.

These costs are equally worthwhile.

You can't do it well.

We can always replace them.

This hotel serves as a designated reception hotel for film and television bases, and also carries the added prestige of encountering celebrities. Most importantly, the hotel owns its own property.

If this can't be done, Li Luo won't hesitate to fire him.

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

Chen Chen nodded in thanks.

When he received the call from the headhunter last year, he was quite hesitant. It would be easy to promote a hotel owned by a movie star, but it was very likely to be just a hobby.

Once he heard that it was a designated hotel built on the basis of a film and television base, he agreed immediately without thinking.

Whether a hotel can succeed depends on two factors.

position.

There is also a stable customer base.

The benefits of having a large film and television base behind you are obvious even to a fool.

This type of hotel.

It is well worth striving for.

It was under Chen Chen's patient and persistent advice that this happened.

The Xinghuo Hotel has evolved from a single-building design to a combination of main and auxiliary buildings, and the number of guest rooms has been increased to nearly 600, meeting the corresponding accommodation requirements of low, medium and high-end guests.

It can accommodate three to five large film crews at the same time.

Although the movements were somewhat large.

However, if the film and television base covering more than 3,000 acres can operate smoothly and attract film crews of all sizes to move in, a hotel of this size may not be enough.

If we want to build a hotel of the same size in the future, the tens of millions we're spending now probably won't be enough.

Taking into account future development needs.

After careful consideration, Li Luo decisively adopted the other party's suggestion.

Anyway, the land is free.

The cost of building materials is relatively low.

Regarding the budget.

It doesn't actually increase by much.

After Zhao Xuejing and Liu Wan got out of the car, Li Luo took the lead and strode around the vehicle toward the hotel's main entrance at Chen Chen's signal. The other three quickly followed him.

I just entered the lobby.

Li Luo couldn't help but slow down his pace.

Face.

A smile quickly spread across his face.

Dozens of people stood in a dark mass on both sides of the lobby. Employees from various departments were all wearing their respective uniforms. The men looked energetic, while the women were dignified, capable, and beautiful.

Most of them are around twenty years old.

Youthful and sunny.

Everyone is full of energy.

The staff of the Xinghuo Hotel, who were standing separately, all looked at him with excited expressions.

There are quite a lot of people.

However, they are not yet able to operate the hotel at full capacity.

For now, it's enough; we can gradually recruit more staff later.

As a way of returning a favor.

A significant portion of the staff here are recruited locally in Tonglu, in addition to the staff area in the courtyard area and the film and television base area, as well as some job opportunities provided by the film and television base.

Since Xinghuo Film and Television settled in the area six months ago, it has provided hundreds or even thousands of jobs for the local community.

The driving effect of the cultural and tourism industry.

Its power is beginning to show.

Under his smiling gaze, the group of employees in front of him all bowed in unison.

"Hello, Mr. Li!!!"

The thunderous applause from dozens of people echoed throughout every corner of the hotel lobby. Then, each of them looked at Li Luo with excited expressions and burst into a storm of applause.

It's not just a perfunctory response.

At least not for a significant portion of the employees.

It was thanks to this young and handsome man that she no longer had to leave her hometown to find food elsewhere.

Right at my doorstep.

You can then find a relatively decent job with a good salary.

That alone is the reason.

Everyone wanted to sincerely thank him.

The impressive setup and the excited looks in the eyes of the employees.

It made Li Luo feel as comfortable as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit.

No wonder leaders like to go out and inspect; the wonderful and comfortable feeling that such a welcoming reception brings is simply indescribable to outsiders.

"it is good!"

Li Luo laughed heartily and happily clapped along with his employees.

Two or three seconds later.

He then cheerfully pressed his hands down.

The applause quickly subsided after this gesture.

"Thank you."

Li Luo looked around and clasped his hands in front of him: "You all should know who I am. I am very happy to meet you all today, and I would also like to welcome you all to join us."

"I hope you can work well, live well, and grow well at Xinghuo Hotel."

"Let's work together for the future."

"OK?"

"it is good!!!"

A thunderous commotion erupted in the lobby once again, followed by enthusiastic applause.

As Chen Chen introduced.

Li Luo smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with each of the employees.

The opponent's skill level is very high.

Chen Chen could easily recall the names and basic information of everyone, from department managers to junior staff. These small details made it easy to judge whether a person was serious about their work.

Earn a high salary.

Naturally, high standards must be set.

The staff at Xinghuo Hotel were incredibly excited to see their celebrity boss.

They shook hands in succession.

Cheers of approval from various bosses rose and fell.

He smiled and greeted everyone.

Li Luo quickly waved for the employees to return to their posts, telling them to forget about autographs and photos, as Xinghuo Hotel strictly prohibited such things from happening, and any complaints from guests about being harassed would be dealt with severely.

It only needs to be verified as true.

One demerit, a second one means immediate dismissal.

Furthermore, since he is here as the boss, it is even less likely that he would do something that is inconsistent with his status.

Anyway, as long as you make a lot of appearances at the hotel.

The employees should get used to it.

Accompanied by Chen Chen and the relevant department manager, Li Luo began to wander around the hotel. Ultimately, seeing renderings, photos, and videos was not as good as observing it in person.

Under his management, Xinghuo Hotel differed from the current mainstream hotel style.

There were no lavish decorations.

With black, white, and gray as the main colors, and of course, the red of the spark as an embellishment, the overall look is bright and grand. The simple and luxurious modern style makes people feel comfortable as soon as they walk in.

Luxury that is visible to the naked eye.

almost none.

Yet, its style is evident in every detail.

Passing through the lobby and arriving between the main building and the annex, one finds swimming pools of various sizes shimmering with cool water in the garden landscape.

Move to the underground parking lot.

Check the guest rooms.

Even the catering and logistics work areas were not spared.

Li Luo has always practiced a very simple view: you may not understand it, but you cannot not watch it.

Let go completely.

It was the most foolish thing to do.

For example, even though he had almost unconditional trust in Lin Yue, he still imposed restrictions on her in terms of personnel and finances, including the arrangement of personnel in key positions and expenditures exceeding a certain amount.

He didn't nod.

Lin Yue couldn't do anything significant at all.

The same applies to Dream World Games; Wu Yu and Xu Bo are also in a state of mutual restraint, which allows the company to develop steadily and smoothly.

Rather than doing it for too long.

They really treat the company like their own!

Amidst the hustle and bustle.

Li Luo and his group swept through most of the hotel area.

The smile and friendliness he had when he entered the hotel had completely vanished from his face. He listened attentively to Lin Chen's report, his expressionless face scanning his surroundings, occasionally reaching out to wipe away dirt from nooks and crannies.

They were also busy rummaging through drawers and cabinets.

But he didn't offer any opinion on anything; he just walked around, looked around, and pondered things calmly.

Thus.

Instead, it made the department managers break out in a cold sweat.

The back of the shirt was soaked with starch.

When introducing the various situations, everyone immediately became extremely attentive, feeling the immense pressure brought by the silence. No one expected that Brother Luo would be so imposing in private.

"Ding!"

The elevator opens.

Chen Chen quickly walked out and held the elevator door open for him: "Mr. Li, this is the executive lounge in the main building of the hotel, which we named Xinghuohui. It is a rest area specially provided for high-end guests."

"Quick check-in and check-out, enjoy all-day refreshments, afternoon tea, a simple buffet dinner and cocktails."

"Newspapers and magazines, meeting rooms, and other services."

"In addition, there are gyms, indoor swimming pools, spas, and other related facilities."

"Consider the user group."

Stepping behind Li Luo, Chen Chen introduced in a steady tone: "Most of our services are available 24 hours a day, striving to bring our guests the most comfortable living experience."

"Ah."

nodded.

Li Luo glanced around and walked forward.

Being on the 20th floor of a high-rise building, the view was absolutely delightful.

Through the glass curtain wall, one can see the view of the Fuchun River in the distance.

The endless mountains on the opposite bank are now in full view. Sitting next to the floor-to-ceiling curtain wall, enjoying a cup of coffee while facing the Fuchun River, the emotional value is simply off the charts.

Li Luo couldn't help but sigh.

With the funds in place, policies and procedures were coordinated at the fastest speed.

With the full cooperation of all units.

The hotel and its courtyards were able to rise from nothing and be put into use, a complete transformation compared to when I came here last July or August when it was still a wasteland.

Their steps paused slightly.

He quickened his pace and walked forward.

No one has arrived yet.

Laughter preceded the laughter.

Startled by the commotion, Zhen Ziyi looked up and saw a large group of people rushing towards him. He quickly blinked, put down his coffee cup, and stood up.

"Brother Luo!"

Extending his hands, Zhen Zilin's face broke into a smile: "It's been a long time since we last met. Shouldn't we call him 'Big Rich Man' now?"

Last time we met.

It was the premiere ceremony of "Ip Man" on Hong Kong Island.

Several months have passed.

Zhen Zilin is excitedly anticipating the start of filming for his next major production. In order to play this hard-won role well, he joined the crew early to prepare for the upcoming filming.

They arrived in Tonglu bewildered, and then stared blankly at the Xinghuo Film and Television Base and the Xinghuo Hotel.

Zhen Ziyi almost lost his mind.

in his memory.

I still remember how reserved Li Luo looked when he first came to Hong Kong to film "SPL: Sha Po Lang". Now he actually owns his own film and television shooting base and a medium-to-large hotel.

He already shows some of the makings of a film industry tycoon.

The changes are happening so fast.

It left him speechless.

Suddenly seeing Li Luo appear before him with a large group of people made him stutter as he spoke.

"Hahaha."

Upon hearing Zhen Ziling's question about whether he should now be addressed as "the tycoon," Li Luo laughed loudly and grasped the other's hand, saying, "What kind of tycoon am I? I just own a run-down hotel."

"Brother Yong, have you been staying here well these past few days? What are your thoughts?"

Don't say no.

Even if Zhen Ziyan were there, he wouldn't say it.

After shaking his arm and reminiscing for a few moments, Zhen Ziling quickly introduced the middle-aged man who stood up with a smile to Li Luo. The man having breakfast with him was Chen Deshen, the director of "Bodyguards and Assassins".

Li Luo greeted them warmly again and repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

To have another career.

This naturally adds an extra responsibility.

While it's not about flattering everyone, it's still important to express gratitude to guests for their support.

Having arranged to have drinks at noon, Li Luo quickly said goodbye and left with a smile.

The chaotic footsteps faded into the distance.

Chen Deshen grabbed a croissant, took a bite, and squinted at the tall figure flashing at the front of the crowd: "Donnie, so he is Li Luo?"

"Yes."

Zhen Ziying picked up the cup and gulped down the slightly bitter coffee:

"He is Li Luo."

The two were still lost in thought.

Li Luo had already reached the top floor of the hotel's main building. He held onto the railing with both hands and looked out at the rippling waters of the Fuchun River, letting the cool breeze make his clothes flutter.

The swimming pool behind us.

Ripples continued to spread.

"Luo Ge."

Zhao Xuejing's crisp footsteps quickly approached, and with a bright smile, she handed over a cup: "Have a cup of coffee and rest for a while. Manager Chen and the others are preparing for the next meeting."

"Thank you."

Taking the cup, Li Luo looked at his pretty female assistant and asked, "How does it feel?"

"Uh."

Zhao Xuejing did not answer immediately.

She looked around at the large terrace with a swimming pool located on the 26th floor and above, and then looked back at the super-large single-level apartment that covers nearly 800 square meters and integrates leisure, entertainment, office and living.

this time.

The female assistant didn't know what to say.

"It's like a dream."

After a long pause, Zhao Xuejing finally blurted out a sentence, then looked at him with eyes full of admiration: "No, I would never dare to dream of having such a place to live, but Brother Luo deserves it."

"No, no, Brother Luo deserves even better!"

The horse's tail was emphasized.

The female assistant's voice was incredibly certain.

"Hahaha."

Li Luo burst into laughter and turned around.

He raised his cup to the morning sun, facing the unparalleled river view, and took a leisurely sip of the rich, aromatic coffee.

Take a step back.

Zhao Xuejing stared at his retreating figure, mesmerized.

I wish I could.

Just keep standing there.

Reporting meeting.

It ended in half an hour.

After boarding the hotel's shuttle vehicle, Li Luo and his group drove up the national highway, speeding past a continuous wall of walls, until they finally stopped at the main entrance square of the film and television base.

In the middle of the flower bed.

The enormous five-pointed star stands at an angle, surrounded by flame-shaped decorations.

Huaguo Tonglu·Xinghuo Film and Television Base.

Several bold characters were directly engraved on the stone tablet in front of the five-pointed star, giving people a very grand and majestic feeling.

Walk along the huge square inwards.

What came into Li Luo's view was a towering city gate tower over twenty meters high, along with two continuous city walls over ten meters high on both sides. Such a scene would leave anyone who saw it in awe.

On the city gate tower, a plaque bearing the same two characters, "Spark," also hangs.

Continue to enhance the company's reputation.

What would have taken years to complete in ancient times can be accomplished in just a few months with the help of modern engineering machinery, creating a magnificent city wall.

After all, there's no need to consider defensive functions, and there's no need to actually use bluestone to build it.

The appearance is guaranteed.

The internal structure is stable and supportive. As long as the quality of the project is guaranteed, various modern construction techniques are used inside, since tourists won't wander around inside the city walls anyway.

But nevertheless.

The city wall was only built along a section of the national highway; the rest of the area was enclosed with corrugated iron walls and steel wire.

Li Luo goes crazy again.

He wouldn't have gone so far as to build a wall to enclose all three thousand acres of land right away.

That's no different from throwing money into the water.

The film and television base was not yet officially open to the public, but many tourists had already stopped to take pictures, and joyful laughter drifted on the wind.

With these movements.

More and more vehicles arrived outside the square.

Li Luo got off the bus.

He warmly shook hands with the local official, Lin Cheng.

Next, Chen Deshen, Liang Jiahui, Zhen Ziyi, Fan Bingbing and others arrived one after another. While they were greeting each other enthusiastically, the convoy consisting of Han Sanping, Yu Dong, Chen Kexin and others also quickly stopped.

They saw tourists gathering around.

The large group greeted each other and got into their cars, speeding around the square and into the city gate tower.

Compared to the outside world.

Inside, the scenery is completely different.

The first thing that came into view was a stretch of rolling barren mountains and wild trees. However, after the convoy drove a short distance to the left, a majestic palace came into view, appearing and disappearing among the green trees.

"Is that Zhen Huan?"

Han Sanping looked out the window curiously.

"Yes."

Li Luo nodded as he got into the van, then shook his head and said, "However, the construction of Zhenhuan City is more difficult, with higher requirements for details, and the construction period is about two more months."

"Tsk."

Yu Dong turned around and couldn't help but ask, "How much money has actually been invested?"

"Eight thousand to ten thousand."

Li Luo smiled and crossed his legs.

The people in the car were all used to money, but they were still secretly shocked when they heard the number. Chen Kexin and Chen Deshen exchanged a quick glance.

This guy.

That's really crazy.

Not to mention the subsequent investment, the current 80 million yuan is enough to assemble a star-studded cast from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong to shoot a commercial blockbuster, but now it's being used to shoot a TV series.

If I hadn't known that Li Luo had such discerning eyes...

The phrase "foolish and rich" is firmly attached to his head.

Various construction sounds echoed within the Zhenhuan City construction site. The convoy of vehicles continued driving towards the riverbank, kicking up dust as it passed by. Soon, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all craned their necks to look.

On the banks of the Fuchun River.

Weicheng, covering a total area of ​​over 120 acres, has sprung up.

Those buildings, each with a distinct sense of history.

It's breathtaking.

At the strong request of director Chen Deshen, the scene of Central Hong Kong in 1905 was recreated on the banks of the Fuchun River to a near 1:1 scale.

When the local official Lin Cheng first saw this scene...

He was almost dumbfounded.

He secretly thought that these moviemakers were all lunatics.

If the box office is not good, the tens of millions invested may vanish in just a year or two, or even worse, the money may die before it even makes a ripple!

Tengteng got out of the car.

Looking at the young man coming down from the opposite side.

Ok.

Lin Cheng blinked.

There's an even bigger madman there.

However, now all we can do is hope that this madman can maintain his success as always, as there is no turning back for us now.

He smiled and nodded to Lin Cheng.

He took the helmet.

Li Luo casually placed it on the little fat boy's head.

This action.

This has been noticed by many people.

Notice that Fan Bingbing showed no resistance or disgust; on the contrary, she grinned broadly with her silver teeth, causing everyone, including Chen Kexin and Zhen Ziyi, to look away.

It was as if nothing was happening in front of them.

Put on your helmet.

Led by the film and television base manager and Chen Deshen, who were waiting early, the group entered the century-old Weicheng in a lively atmosphere.

Strolling along Queen's Road.

Watching the props crew hanging on the exterior wall doing the final touches.

We arrived at the stone-paved street.

It was as if I could see Li Ming killing desperately here.

Heading to Victoria Wharf, watching the wooden boats bobbing on the blue waves, Han Sanping clapped his hands in admiration at the exquisite scene, exclaiming that this scene alone could sell for 200 million yuan at the box office.

Such praise made everyone burst into laughter.

That laughter.

It was being blown about by the wind on the Fuchun River.

For security reasons, Zhen Huan's veil was not lifted for the public.

After visiting Vienna City.

We went to the hotel and had another big drinking session.

After seeing Han Sanping and the others off, Li Luo busied himself checking on the preparations of the "Empresses in the Palace" production team. Finally, the next morning, he left the soundly sleeping Xiao Pang behind and embarked on his journey back to Beijing.

798 Art Zone.

Li Luo had just returned to the capital when he unexpectedly received a phone call from someone.

To be precise, it should be two people.

At first, I was stunned.

He then said he could spare half a day.

Ever since.

Flights roared in from Shanghai.

Two bearded men arrived in Beijing, travel-worn, and then sped by taxi to Xinghuo Film and Television Company, hoping to seize the most likely lifeline they could find.

Looking at that famous red building in the industry.

Wei Zheng nervously swallowed.

After encouraging each other, he clutched his backpack tightly and walked quickly through the gates of Xinghuo Film and Television with a nervous heart.
