Chapter 408 I'll be the female lead in the MV

evening.

While Ying Chanxi was helping to cook in the kitchen, Xu Rongsheng and Li Guohong also came here one after another, preparing to have dinner together.

The two families can be said to be quite familiar with each other now, after all, they come here for a meal every weekend.

Lin Xiuhong and Cui Suling often make plans to go dancing or play mahjong together.

As for Xu Rongsheng, whenever he has a gathering or dinner with school teachers, he will take them to Li Guohong's Sichuan and Chongqing Hotpot Restaurant to support the business.

With the coupons given by Li Guohong, it is quite cheap and affordable.

It also indirectly helped Sichuan and Chongqing Hotpot to establish some popularity among the teachers of the School of Arts.

Moreover, because there are currently too few people on West Street, the prices at Li Guohong's hot pot restaurant are much cheaper than those of the two hot pot restaurants on Ningshan Avenue.

So after Xu Rongsheng started this, teachers from the School of Arts would go to the Sichuan and Chongqing hotpot restaurant on West Street when they want to go out for a good meal.

It's a good thing.

Although the monthly revenue of Sichuan and Chongqing Hotpot is still not as good as that of the two hotpot restaurants on Ningshan Avenue, it is even less comparable to Li Luo's income.

But this job is much easier than running a breakfast shop before. Everything is done by the employees below, and Li Guohong mainly gives orders and just takes a look from time to time.

For Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong, who don't have much daily expenses, earning a little money every month means there is no goal or pressure of continuous saving. They spend whatever they earn, and their life is much more comfortable than before.

Li Guohong and Xu Rongsheng have a friendship through the hot pot restaurant, and they keep in touch through weekly meals. Although their relationship is not as close as that of the two sisters in the kitchen, they can still be considered familiar with each other.

Although Xu Rongsheng is an intellectual from a scholarly family and a professor in the literature department of Qianjiang University, he does not have the arrogance of a scholar.

No matter what the topic was, Xu Rongsheng was able to catch up and had a very pleasant chat with Li Guohong.

In addition to his admiration for Li Luo himself, Xu Rongsheng quite likes to chat with Li Guohong about Li Luo's childhood.

Whenever this happened, Li Luo would immediately walk over to the sofa and sit next to his father, interrupting his father's endless chatter about his embarrassing childhood memories and quickly changing the subject.

Today, Li Luo happened to be talking with senior Jian Chun about Qianda University’s elective courses, so he started talking with Xu Rongsheng about Little Joy.

"Many students in my elective class like to read your book Little Joy," Xu Rongsheng said with a smile, "but I saw that the website where you serialized the book seems to charge for reading. I wonder if it will have any impact if I share your text in class?"

"That doesn't matter." Li Luo shook his head. "Piracy is rampant nowadays. I didn't write this book for the subscription money."

As of now, "Little Joy" has more than 3000 followers. Even if it reaches an average subscription of 80 after it is put on the shelves, and all words are published, the total royalties earned are estimated to be only tens of thousands of yuan, less than a fraction of "I'm Not a Celebrity".

Li Luo's ultimate goal in writing the book "Little Joy" was to see if he could sell the film and television rights for a good price.

This depends on whether Wenyue Group's realism-themed essay solicitation can provide strong support, and whether Ying Zhicheng's Huayue Film and Television can take it up.

It can also be regarded as an attempt by Li Luo.

After all, at the end of the year, at the Wenyue Group annual meeting, Qidian will announce his status as a great writer.

With the blessing of this identity, plus the superb performance of "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" and the writing competition results of "Little Joy", he might be able to get a good price for the copyright.

Li Guohong didn't like reading, so he couldn't get a word in when the two of them talked about this topic, so he just sat aside and listened.

He had read some books written by Li Luo before, but he basically didn't want to read them after reading a little bit.

If the three heroines in this book did not have real-life prototypes, Li Guohong might not have been able to finish even the first chapter.

When I watched it later, I just thought of it as a short story about my own son falling in love with Xixi and the others.

After that, I started going to the hotpot restaurant every day, or dealing with information from people or companies who wanted to invite me to sing songs in the office, and I put my son's book on hold.

After all, this online article is mainly written for young people. Li Guohong never had the habit of reading before. After he put it down, he never picked it up again.

Xu Rongsheng obviously noticed that Li Guohong had stopped talking, so he smoothly ended the previous topic and said, "I heard you say before that you were planning to buy a car. How are you doing recently?"

"Oh, about this." Li Guohong became interested again when he heard the topic that interested him, and couldn't help but say, "I think that the car at home can still be driven, and I don't think it's necessary to buy a new one now."

"I have seen Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and so on. I don't have any requirements for the car, as long as it is comfortable to drive."

"But if you want a more spacious seat, it would be nice to buy an SUV, but after looking at the prices, they are too expensive."

"The cheapest one costs more than 600,000 yuan, and the more expensive ones go for 1 million yuan. This is almost enough for me to buy another house."

After hearing this, Xu Rongsheng looked at Li Guohong, then at Li Luo, and said with a smile: "Your son is making so much money now, one million is only his income for two or three months, right?"

"Ahem." Li Luo coughed and reminded, "If we only look at September and October, it's only one month's income."

Xu Rongsheng: “…”

Li Guohong: “…”

In September and October, because Yuan Wanqing took the stage as a singer and released new songs one after another, which helped to attract traffic for "I'm Really Not a Star", Li Luo's channel royalties exploded and he became the hottest star in the channel in those two months.

Even all the pirated websites put this book on the recommended banner on their homepage for several months, and you can still see it now.

"You can't just treat money as money." Li Guohong said unhappily, "Even if you don't feel sorry for it, I do. After the New Year, I'll just buy a car worth a few hundred thousand or a few hundred thousand. I'll make do with it and it'll be fine as long as I can drive it."

When Li Luo heard his father say this, he just smiled casually and didn't respond to the conversation. He just said what he said casually.

I had said before that I would buy him a car and told him to pick any one he wanted and just buy it in the name of the company.

As a result, in the first half of the year, he said that he would pay off the mortgage for Bi Hai Lan Ting first.

During the summer vacation, he said he would deal with the hot pot restaurant matter first.

After Li Luo started his second year of high school, he said he would first take care of Yuan Wanqing's singer program and deal with the recent singing invitations.

Now it's almost the end of the semester, and he said that the second-hand car at home can still be used, so let's wait until after the Chinese New Year to buy a new one.

I can only say that I was used to living a frugal life in the past, and now that there is money at home, I am reluctant to spend it.

Li Luo could understand his parents' thoughts, but he had no intention of trying to correct them.

After all, when it comes to money, it is always easier to go from frugality to extravagance, but harder to go from extravagance to frugality.

It has been less than two years since he was reborn. Although the changes in his parents are obvious, it is not a big deal that he is a little behind in spending money.

However, Li Guohong's idea is also very simple.

When Li Luo was called by Lin Xiuhong to the kitchen to help serve the dishes, Li Guohong whispered to Xu Rongsheng: "Actually, I'm not really reluctant to spend that little money."

"If it were me, I could earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars a month, and I could just buy this car worth more than one million dollars."

"But now it's my son who is making the money. Even if he buys it in the name of the company, I don't feel at ease spending it. After all, he earned it with his own ability, and my husband and I didn't help much."

"Besides, when it comes to writing a book, there's no telling what might happen in the future, so it's better to save more money."

"dont you agree."

After listening to Li Guohong's words, Xu Rongsheng nodded in agreement: "That's true, but if your family's car has been used for a long time, it's reasonable to replace it with a new one."

"Of course, I know that." Li Guohong nodded. "Isn't it the income from the hot pot restaurant? His company also pays me a salary. I have been saving for half a year now. After the Chinese New Year, I will probably have about 200,000 yuan."

"I think that this money is earned by myself. Although it is also borrowed from my son, it is still my own income after all."

"When the time comes, I'll buy a new car and feel more at ease."

After hearing this, Xu Rongsheng began to look at Li Guohong with a new respect.

I can only say that parents who can raise an outstanding child like Li Luo are actually very outstanding themselves.

This kind of excellence may not necessarily be reflected in the ability to make money, but rather in other aspects of doing things and being a person.

Thinking of this, Xu Rongsheng was somewhat moved. He looked at Cui Suling's back who was busy in the kitchen, and thought of what she had said before.

Well...if my future son-in-law is Li Luo, it would be a wonderful story for the two families to become one.

Especially the relationship between Li Luo and his daughter...Xu Rongsheng recalled the last time he attended the symposium and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Cui Suling doesn’t know, but doesn’t Xu Rongsheng know it?

I think my daughter really likes this boy Li Luo.

Even in the book "Literary Age", the further you read, the more the male protagonist resembles Li Luo in character.

Not to mention those extremely explicit plots… My own daughter is really mature in this regard.

Xu Rongsheng smiled helplessly, then looked at Ying Chanxi who was helping in the kitchen, and Yan Zhusheng who had just walked out of the piano room, and sighed slightly. The only problem was that Li Luo was a bit of a show-off.

If it were an ordinary girl, Xu Rongsheng would still be quite confident in his daughter.

But if you are facing equally outstanding girls like Yan Zhusheng and Ying Chanxi, it is really hard to say.

But the children are still young, so we have to wait until they go to college to discuss this kind of thing.

Xu Rongsheng just thought about it in his mind, then put it aside for the time being and laughed it off.

"It's time to eat. Go wash your hands and come and sit down." Lin Xiuhong took off her apron and greeted everyone from the other side of the dining table.

……

On Sunday morning, Lin Xiufeng accompanied Li Luo to a nearby 4S store for a visit and preliminarily determined the target.

In the afternoon, I called my uncle Li Guoru and asked him to come over and contact the 4S store on behalf of the company.

After that, Li Luo no longer cared about this matter and quickly returned to his daily life at school.

【Ying Chanxi】：○

【Li Luo】：×
A history class is being held in Class 16's classroom.

Although Li Luo and Ying Chanxi had scored 100 points in the history elective exam, theoretically they did not need to attend class anymore.

But in order to accompany Yan Zhusheng to history class, the three of them would still come together to attend class in Class 16.

Yan Zhusheng sat next to Jin Yuting and attended the class seriously.

Li Luo and Ying Chanxi sat at the back as desk mates, doing their homework and occasionally playing Gobang.

It was already the last class on Wednesday afternoon and the teachers had already assigned the New Year's Day homework.

However, Li Luo and Ying Chanxi have already scored full marks of 100 in the three elective subjects, so they only need to do homework for Chinese, mathematics and English, which does not waste a whole class period.

Even if students are whispering in the last row during class, the teacher at the podium will not care, as long as they don't make loud noises that disturb other students.

[Li Luo]: I lost this time, what do you want?
[Ying Chanxi]: Let me think about it.

[Li Luo]: Go back and give the president a massage in the evening?

[Ying Chanxi]: Isn’t that what you should do?
[Li Luo]: Okay, okay, what other service do you need?

[Ying Chanxi]: There will be a New Year's Day activity tomorrow. Will you patrol with me?
[Li Luo]: Okay, I can carry you on patrol or be your mount.

[Ying Chanxi]: No way.

[Ying Chanxi]: Let’s continue shooting the MV after the New Year’s Day event.

[Li Luo]: Okay, which song do you want to shoot this time?
[Ying Chanxi]: Well...there are two alternatives.

【Li Luo】: You say.

[Ying Chanxi]: One is "Sun" and the other is "Hollow".

[Ying Chanxi]: But "The Sun" is your birthday gift to Zhusheng, so I think you have to get Zhusheng's consent first.

As for why I chose these two songs, of course it’s because like "Light Chasers", these two songs are both love songs between men and women.

Ying Chanxi feels that after shooting the MVs for "Waiting for You After Class" and "Light Chaser", he is more familiar with and adept at this type of MV.

That's why I made this choice.

It's definitely not for arranging kissing scenes or anything!

[Li Luo]: Then you can ask Zhu Sheng when the time comes.

[Ying Chanxi]: Didn’t you ask? After all, it was you who gave me the song.

[Li Luo]: I feel that if you ask, the probability of agreement will be greater.

[Ying Chanxi]: Ah? Why do you feel that way?

[Li Luo]: Why do you think that if you ask, the probability of Zhu Sheng agreeing will be smaller?

[Ying Chanxi]: I didn’t say that…

Of course it’s because there will be a kissing scene… How could Zhu Sheng agree to it?
Ying Chanxi thought so in her heart, but since Li Luo said so, she had no choice but to try to ask herself first.

result……

"sure."

In the evening, while having lunch in the cafeteria, Ying Chanxi asked Yan Zhusheng this question in a low voice.

The result was beyond Ying Chanxi's expectations. Yan Zhusheng nodded and agreed without hesitation, without even thinking about it.

This made Ying Chanxi confused for a moment.

The words she had thought about for a long time were of no use at all and instead caused her to crash right there.

"What can be done?" Xu Yinghuan asked doubtfully, not hearing Ying Chanxi's question just now.

Yan Zhusheng said without hesitation: "Xixi wanted to shoot the MV for the song "Sun", and I agreed."

"Do you still want to shoot?" Xu Yinghuan was surprised for a moment, then reacted and asked Yan Zhusheng quietly, "This song is Li Luo's birthday gift to you, and you're just going to let Xixi shoot it?"

"I can't take a picture myself." Yan Zhusheng blinked.

"What I mean is," Xu Yinghuan glanced at Ying Chanxi and Qiao Xinyan across from her, and continued to lower her voice to give Yan Zhusheng advice, "You can be the female lead in the MV, let Xixi be the director, and Li Luo be the male lead. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Oh..." After listening to Xu Yinghuan's suggestion, Yan Zhusheng's eyes suddenly lit up. He couldn't help but look at Ying Chanxi opposite him and asked, "So Xixi is the director?"

"Yeah." Ying Chanxi nodded slightly, looked at Xu Yinghuan suspiciously, and then said, "I have always been the director."

"Then let me be your female lead." Yan Zhusheng showed an expectant look and took the initiative to propose.

Ying Chanxi, who was standing opposite him, was stunned when he heard this. He stammered, "This... that... isn't this inconvenient? Zhu Sheng, you still have to study more. Um... Li Luo and I both got full marks in the exam, so we have time to do this."

"But I don't need such a high score." Yan Zhusheng said, "The score of the selection test is already very high for me. It's okay for me to only study Chinese, math and English later."

This is also true for Yan Zhusheng.

After all, 100 points in geography, 97 points in history, and 94 points in physics are definitely high scores.

If we put it in the group of art students, it would feel a bit like a dimensionality reduction attack.

As long as Yan Zhusheng maintains his current level in Chinese, math and English in the college entrance examination, and his art examination scores are above passing, it will be absolutely certain that he will be admitted to Qianjiang University's Conservatory of Music.

Therefore, there is no such thing as Yan Zhusheng being busy as Ying Chanxi said.

After Yan Zhusheng said this, Ying Chanxi suddenly felt that he was in a difficult situation.

But thinking about the song "Sun" itself being Li Luo's birthday gift to Yan Zhusheng, Ying Chanxi finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then you can be the female lead."

"Thank you, Xixi~" Yan Zhusheng thanked her happily, and then asked curiously, "So will there be a kissing scene?"

"..." Ying Chanxi's cheeks flushed when she heard this question. After feeling the gazes of others around her, she quickly waved her hands and said, "Zhu Sheng, stop talking nonsense. How can there be a kissing scene?"

"But didn't your MV for 'Light Chasers' have a kissing scene?" Yan Zhusheng asked innocently, "I think my song 'Sun' can have one, too."

"That, that was also shot out of position." Ying Chanxi winked at Yan Zhusheng, signaling her not to let the cat out of the bag.

Although Ying Chanxi already knew, many people present already knew that he and Li Luo were really kissing.

But if it were exposed in public, it would still be too embarrassing and a bit shameful.

Fortunately, Yan Zhusheng wasn't really stupid. After hearing what Ying Chanxi said, he nodded and said, "I know. It was shot out of position, so there will still be a kissing scene, right? It's just not a real kiss."

"Yeah!" Ying Chanxi nodded quickly, "I won't really kiss you."

After that, Ying Chanxi added: "I still have to shoot the MV for "Hollow" with Li Luo. As for "Sun", because I want to capture the feeling of summer in some scenes, I will probably only shoot some simple shots recently. I want to make it clear to you in advance."

"Yeah." Yan Zhusheng nodded without minding at all, "No problem."
