CH 106

Luo Peng recently discovered that Yu Siyang was buying a lot of things. He didn’t have time himself, so he always asked him to help buy things or send couriers. When he took a closer look, he found they were all given to the boss.

Until he accidentally saw a post titled “How to Become a Good Boyfriend” on Yu Siyang’s cell phone, and Luo Peng was immediately enlightened.

Then… he became angry.

What’s the meaning! What’s the meaning! It’s great to fall in love!! Was he a manager or Cupid?!!

I don’t care if you sprinkle dog food, but now you’re so frantic that you are forcibly stuffing me with dog food. I am a single dog, not Magpie Bridge[1], okay!!!

Really abusing a single dog.

Luo Peng was very angry, and he decided to…leave.

He would rather go to the brand manager of the Emerald Hotel for discussing the endorsement fee, than be tainted by the sour smell of love around Yu Siyang.

That’s right, the endorsement of the Emerald Hotel had not yet been discussed, and the point where the two sides were deadlocked was the endorsement fee.

Emerald Hotel hoped that Yu Siyang could endorse their full range of products, but the endorsement fee given made it clear that they were bullying the other party as a newcomer. Luo Peng refused to give in, especially after the box office of “Pretending Overload” exceeded one billion yuan, the endorsement fee he proposed almost made the brand manager of Emerald Hotel go crazy with anger.

As for brand endorsements, Luo Peng still adhered to the principle of quality and not quantity, but as far as the current situation was concerned, the Emerald Hotel was really a bit suited to the taste of Yu Siyang, and celebrities who followed the fashion ICON route were more willing to endorse such luxury goods.

But since winning the endorsement of P&H, Yu Siyang’s resources in fashion were so good that the Emerald Hotel had become dispensable. If the endorsement fee was not satisfactory, there was no need to take it.

However, talking about cooperation could be used as an excuse at this moment, it was perfect.

“Tang Hang, I’ll leave it to you here.” Luo Peng solemnly patted Tang Hang on the shoulder and said in a very serious manner: “Don’t call me unless there is anything serious, and deal with it yourself.”

Tang Hang was steady and reliable. At this moment, he couldn’t help but give Luo Peng an eye roll.

Speaking so boldly, he also set the flag of “Don’t give up if you don’t talk about the endorsement fee of 10 million a year.” Wasn’t it just letting him eat dog food a few more times, and won’t there be more opportunities to eat in the future?

Luo Peng pretended not to see Tang Hang’s eyes and left with his luggage on his back.

Yu Siyang’s current role was mainly focused on his army scenes, and with the leather belt replaced by light armor, he looked heroic with a spear in his hand.

But only the glory was seen by others, and only he himself knew the actual suffering.

Yu Siyang was really handsome when wearing the light armor, but the weight of the armor also made him suffer a lot, especially when he sat down while waiting for the shot, as it took great effort for him to stand up.

But such a handsome self, of course, had to be shared with Mr. Xue.

Yu Siyang wore the armor and asked Tang Hang to take a picture of himself, and asked casually: “Brother Luo gone?”

“It hasn’t been long since he left.” Tang Hang took the mobile phone and snapped a photo from various angles.

“I don’t particularly want to endorse the Emerald Hotel,” Yu Siyang said: “Brother Luo doesn’t need to waste time on this fruitless thing. And…”

He didn’t say anything here, so Tang Hang couldn’t help asking: “And what?”

Yu Siyang shook his head without saying much.

Among the goals he planned for himself, one was “opening a restaurant”. This was the goal he set when he was learning to cook. Although it seemed that he has deviated far from the track now, he always had the thought of returning back to the original road. At that time, wouldn’t it conflict with the Emerald Hotel?

Although it seemed a bit too much to think about this now, it was necessary to plan ahead.

Tang Hang looked at him with a preoccupied look and couldn’t help but tear down Luo Peng’s desk. “Where is Luo brother going to struggle with the Emerald Hotel? He doesn’t want to help you buy things and send couriers.”

The truth was so unexpected that Yu Siyang was stunned.

Why? Did Brother Luo still have so little love for his colleagues?

Tang Hang patted the shoulder pads on Yu Siyang’s shoulders and said earnestly: “Single dogs are also dogs. We still have to take care of the physical and mental health of single dogs.”

“Tang Hang, Brother Luo said you must be in love.” Yu Siyang seemed to have discovered the New World, “Congratulations.”

Tang Hang: “…” Was this focus wrong?

After Yu Siyang finished speaking, he turned over the topic immediately, took his mobile phone, and sent his handsome photo to Xue Chengxiu, then he leaned on a pillar and smilingly waited for his respose.

Hello, why didn’t you continue to talk about this topic? Tang Hang was in a hurry and was about to refute Yu Siyang’s statement.

Didn’t he have no love interests at all? Where did these people get that he was in love? How could they mix in the entertainment industry with such bad eyes?!

It was a pity that Yu Siyang had entered a barrier called falling in love and had zero perception of everything outside.

Tang Hang was overwhelmed and missed Luo Peng immensely after he had been gone only for half an hour.

When Luo Peng left Tenglan City, although the excuse he used was to take down the endorsement of the Emerald Hotel, he himself was not very concerned about this matter. What made him even more concerned was that the well-known screenwriter Yan Haiqing had polished his script “Dead Land”, which had been going on for several years, and was pulling together the crew for the movie.

Yan Haiqing’s name was well known in the circle, and the scripts in his hand were all fine works. He himself was also a first-class figure in the entertainment industry. His any little action could set off a huge wave in the circle. He was thus called Master Yan.

This master had been silent for several years, and suddenly took out a script to form a crew, everyone in the circle could be said to be staring at it, it was no different from a fat piece of meat.

Luo Peng found a way to catch up with a screenwriter in Master Yan’s studio and asked him to help introduce him to Master Yan. Although he still didn’t know what the script of “Dead Land” was about, it was always right to get familiar first.

In the Chinese restaurant of the Emerald Hotel, in a private box, Luo Peng was wearing a black suit and sitting upright. Opposite him, Yan Haiqing was dressed in a blue Tang suit, but there was a touch of majesty in his elegance.

The screenwriter Luo Peng befriended was ordering from the menu. He was Yan Haiqing’s nephew, otherwise it would be impossible to invite Master Yan out.

“You are interesting. He said you want to talk about the script with me. Why are you alone, where is the actor?” Yan Haiqing took the lead while waiting for the dishes to be served.

Luo Peng smiled neither humbly nor arrogantly: “Master Yan, sorry, Yu Siyang is shooting Chu’s “Battle of Fei Shui” in Tenglan, and he can’t get out of it for the time being.”

“That’s the case, then there is no need to talk about it.” Yan Haiqing said: “If can’t even see the actor, how can I tell if he is suitable for my script?”

Luo Peng said: “We haven’t seen the script, and we are not sure if your script is suitable for our Xiaoyu as well.”

Yan Haiqing narrowed his eyes slightly. It had been nearly half an hour since he entered the box, and he finally felt some interest.

Wei Xiaofeng’s cousin was indeed the same as him, and even the tone of his speech was the same as that of Wei Xiaofeng back then.

Since the news of “Dead Land” was released, Yan Haiqing had met many celebrities willingly or unwillingly. In fact, Yan Haiqing himself had no idea what he thought “Dead Land”‘s male protagonist should be like. And those agents who promoted their own celebrities or the investors spoke one by one, and without even reading the script, they patted their chests and said that their actor would act well. Yan Haiqing had to use great self-control to keep himself from laughing.

“The young man’s tone is not small,” Yan Haiqing nodded at Luo Peng twice.

“You have wronged me. I didn’t say that you are not well-known,” Luo Peng said. “It’s just that everyone has a role that suits them. If your script is a comedy, then we won’t accept it, and Xiaoyu will not play it. He already has a comedy with a billion at the box office, and if it were followed by another comedy with a box office of billions of dollars, it would be easy for him to be designated as a comedian, you have seen our Yu Siyang, he is too handsome to just be a comedian.”

Master Yan Haiqing was stunned by the thick face of Luo Peng. How strong was the psychological quality of this person to be able to say this kind of thing without blushing?

“Ahem, Luo Peng, Master Yan’s script is not a comedy.” Yan Linchen reminded in a low voice.

Luo Peng patted the table and exclaimed, “It’s best if it’s not a comedy. I don’t think Master Yan can write a comedy. With actors, we don’t talk about movies, we just make friends.” As he said, he poured red wine for the two of them.

Yan Haiqing’s nephew: “…”

This person was too familiar too, who said he wants to make friends with him?!

Luo Peng didn’t talk about the movie, and he really didn’t say a word about the script. During the dinner, he kept chatting with Yan Haiqing and his nephew about the experiences from various places. Of course, the most talked about was the delicious food made by Yu Siyang, but it was not enough. He even took out his cell phone to show the two of them the photos he had taken.

Yan Haiqing and his nephew couldn’t help but gulp their saliva while watching. They were taken in by a lot of Yu Siyang’s delicacies. The exquisite dishes in front of them did not hold their interest, and they couldn’t wait to go away.

This Luo Peng looked uncultured, but there were so many adjectives. He talked for twenty minutes. He didn’t even repeat one adjective. What kind of agent was he with this **** skill, he should go with them and become a screenwriter?

None of the three of them had enough for this meal, and most of the dishes on the table were left untouched, which did not fit the Chinese people’s virtues of diligence and thrift.

Finally, Luo Peng asked the waiter to help pack the rest of the dishes and agreed with Yan Haiqing to wait when Yu Siyang was free, and then invite them to taste the delicious food made by chef Yu himself before sending them away.

Yan Haiqing and his nephew returned half-full and agreed to send the script of “Dead Land” to Luo Peng.

Yan Haiqing was frustrated and couldn’t help sending a text message to Wei Xiaofeng: [Your cousin is like you. 】

Wei Xiaofeng’s reply was very quick: 【It’s just average, only 30% of my skill back then.]

Yan Haiqing almost wanted to vomit blood, threw the phone to his nephew, and muttered, “Birds of a feather.”

Yan Linchen rushed to catch the phone thrown by his uncle, and carefully asked: “Uncle, then we will go see Yu Siyang?” Luo Peng had tempted him so much with the food, and he really wanted to eat it. If his uncle didn’t want to, then he would go secretly.

“See, why not?” Yan Haiqing hummed, “I want to see if Yu Siyang’s craftsmanship is really that good.”

“…Uncle, you are choosing an actor, shouldn’t you look at acting not craftsmanship.” Yan Linchen was simply naturally black, so he took down his uncle’s desk without realizing it.

Yan Haiqing was so angry that he knocked his nephew on the head. If it wasn’t his nephew, he would definitely throw him on the road and let him walk back on his own.

At the other end, Luo Peng carried the packaged vegetables and walked arrogantly to the parking lot. He couldn’t be prouder.

Brother Xiaofeng’s temporary training was still quite useful. Take a look, the script of “Dead Land” was ready.

—— Yan Haiqing is a little arrogant, you can’t just follow him to flatter him, you have to go the other way, avoid the point first, use other things to lift his appetite, so that you can achieve the goal more.

Luo Peng couldn’t help but want to sing two songs.

Haha… he should send a pennant to Brother Xiaofeng, with the words “good teacher and helpful friend”.

“Manager Luo.” A black Mercedes drove into the parking lot. A man got off the car and waved hello when he saw Luo Peng, “Did you come to our hotel for dinner?”

“Mr. Mo.” Luo Peng nodded, “Came to have a meal with a friend, and I am about to go back.”

This Mr. Mo was the brand manager of the Emerald Hotel, responsible for the overall brand promotion of the hotel. Regarding the endorsement, he was the one playing the game of tug of war with Luo Peng.

The Emerald Hotel was a family-run business, and the work process was cumbersome and complicated. A small matter had to be reported layer by layer. When the reply from the top was approved, many opportunities had already been missed. This was also one of the reasons for the business situation of the Emerald Hotel in recent years.

Because the Emerald Hotel still had this traditional business model, Luo Peng was not optimistic about the prospects of the Emerald Hotel.

There was a win-win relationship between the spokesperson and the brand. If one party was a pig teammate, there would be troubles to deal with in the future.

In Luo Peng’s view, that pig teammate would definitely not be his side.

Mr. Mo invited: “It’s better to take advantage of the opportunity. If Mr. Luo is in no hurry, why not go to my office and sit?”

Luo Peng was surprised, and still with a professional smile on his face, said, “A great honor.”
