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

Chapter 661 Something planned
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Li Luo quickened his pace and repeatedly apologized, "President Cao, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting!"

"will not."

Cao Guowei stood up with a smile and firmly grasped the hand that Cao Guowei had extended: "Actually, I should be the one apologizing. I originally wanted to make time to visit him again, but then I thought that there's no better time than now."

"Indeed."

After shaking hands with the other party's assistant, Li Luo smiled and looked at Zhao Da Meizi.

"General Manager Li, General Manager Cao."

Zhao Xuejing took her leave one after the other.

She then left the office with light steps.

See this situation.

Cao Guowei also gave his assistant a wink.

The latter also quickly bowed in acknowledgment and hurriedly left the chairman's office, which was understated yet quite luxurious, leaving the two bosses with a private space for conversation.

"Please take a seat."

Li Luo showed Cao Guowei his palm and sat down first in the single sofa.

Diagonally opposite him.

The once empty corner was now almost entirely filled with congratulatory gifts.

These are all gifts from the guests who came to the housewarming ceremony. However, it's not quite the same as the custom in the US; in China, it's not common to open gifts in front of others.

We don't know what it is yet.

But this display of force is still quite surprising.

Go over again.

That is the golf course.

Lounge, bar, and other leisure facilities.

Not far to Li Luo's side was a large, heavy desk, with bookshelves, trophy display cases and other items neatly arranged next to it.

The office, meeting, and leisure areas are divided in a well-organized manner.

"Thank you."

After quickly scanning his surroundings again, Cao Guowei smiled and sat back down: "Changdian is absolutely right. President Li is indeed a heavy drinker. I finally witnessed that during dinner."

"He's overpraising me."

Li Luo turned over his porcelain cup and then picked up the teapot: "Actually, what I just drank was diluted wine."

The tea had a faint aroma.

Amid Cao Weiwei's hearty laughter, the liquid was poured into the cup.

They hadn't exchanged more than a few words.

But the signal was very clear.

Regardless of what they will discuss next, at least everyone knows that the other party's attitude is quite positive. In addition, Li Luo's simple self-deprecating remark also shows that he does not feel any psychological pressure in front of Cao Guowei.

And this point.

Cao Guowei keenly noticed this.

The two raised their glasses to each other, smiling and gesturing for each other to take another sip.

The CEO of Xinlang across from me is Wang Changtian's classmate, and his appearance can be described as resolute.

His resume is practically perfect.

Cao Guowei graduated from Fudan University and worked as a reporter for a year before going to the United States to study. He earned two master's degrees, one in journalism and one in business. After completing his studies, he worked at a top accounting firm in Silicon Valley.

Returning to China facilitated Sinlong's listing on the US stock market.

This will make it the first Chinese portal website to be listed on the American stock exchange.

He held various positions at Xinlang, including Vice President of Finance, Chief Financial Officer, and Co-Chief Operating Officer, making him a figure who fought on the front lines of the internet era.

Take a sip of tea.

Cao Guowei also sized up the guy sitting opposite him.

Li Luo.

Facial features are acceptable.
handsome.

It can be summarized in a single word.

It's not just about appearance.

In terms of looks, Li Luo may not be the most outstanding in the entertainment industry, but his overall temperament, charm, and handsome appearance, with his striking eyebrows and bright eyes, make him dazzlingly handsome.

Despite being only 27 years old.

His career achievements have reached a level that countless people can only dream of.

He made his official debut at the age of eighteen, playing Lin Pingzhi in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer". He then enrolled in the Beijing Film Academy to solidify his foundation, and his popularity soared rapidly through the TV series "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

Battle of Cannes.

It dominates the summer movie season.

Rebuild the company and build your own team.

Director, screenwriter, and actor.

It's truly blossoming on all three fronts.

With the film "Painted Skin," he challenged a host of stars and veteran directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, breaking long-standing box office records.

Quietly launching its assault on the Hollywood market, it made a powerful debut in a way that caught everyone off guard, and now its second Hollywood blockbuster is playing to great acclaim worldwide.

It has only been eight days since it was released.

It has already crushed $400 million at the box office, becoming a part of global popular culture.

He completely suppressed all the young male and female actors.

Tong Dawei became popular, and Wen Zhang also became popular.

However, he was dubbed "Little Li Luo" by the media.

After the Spring Festival Gala at the beginning of the year, a saying quickly appeared on the Internet: "No matter how popular you are, you can be more popular than Xiao Shenyang," but it always comes with the suffix (except for Li Luo).

Nowadays, only superstars can go head-to-head with him.

Such a resume.

It's simply jaw-dropping.

No matter what profession you are in, those who can stand at the top of their industry should not be underestimated, especially in the film and television industry, which has such a large public influence.

Therefore, Cao Guowei chose to take charge personally.

This is to show that we attach great importance to it.

"Mr. Li."

Cao Guowei put down his teacup and looked around with interest: "You always manage to do something amazing. This is the first headquarters building in the world that is self-funded and self-built among many private film and television companies."

"Everyone was just saying that heroes emerge from among the young."

Giving a thumbs up, the internet mogul said earnestly, "In my opinion, it's also a case of accumulating experience before unleashing its full potential. Even Twilight's box office performance has surpassed that of Jet Li and Hendrik Willem Van Loon!"

"I was just lucky."

Li Luo wiped his flushed face and then cheerfully poured tea for the other person: "Besides, there's no comparison with my older brother. He's the absolute lead actor in the series of movies."

"And they also had an advantage in terms of time."

"But the results were indeed quite good, and my popularity on Twitter also increased a lot."

Li Luo was too lazy to play games with vague and ambiguous things.

Let's get straight to the point.

"Oh?"

Cao Guowei's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "How many followers are there now?"

Curiosity is inevitable.

Further questioning is also indispensable.

Domestic internet companies have a tradition of copying overseas business models. His Sina Weibo is, to some extent, the Chinese version of Twitter, so he naturally pays more attention to this kind of information.

I knew Li Luo was quite popular overseas, but I hadn't paid attention to his fan count for a while.

"More than 2.3 million."

Li Luo smiled and slurped down a mouthful of tea.

Seemingly few.

There are already a lot.

We are currently in the early stages of social media development. Accounts with millions of followers are already considered top influencers. Even the leader of the United States, Obama, only has 3.7 million followers.

Hear this number.

Cao Guowei resisted the urge to swallow his saliva along with him.

It's worth noting that Xinlang Weibo's total user base hasn't even reached one million yet, and Li Luo has already surpassed it single-handedly.

Although extremely optimistic about future development.

But that's only in the future.

This number further solidified his determination to win over Li Luo.

Leveraging celebrity influence to achieve explosive user growth is the inherent logic of social media development. Across the entire Chinese-speaking world, Li Luo's popularity is undoubtedly at the top level.

He's even better than that.

They are all veteran superstars.

It's simply unrealistic to expect superstars in their forties, fifties, or even older to use social media and actively engage with users.

However, Li Luo.

Just one photo of him riding a bull.

This made Cao Guowei realize that he was quite adept at this.

"sharp."

Cao Guowei let out a soft sigh and looked seriously at the person opposite him: "Actually, I think you must know why I stayed. In fact, Xinlang and Xinghuo both belong to the media industry."

"We can complement each other."

"Actually, a good cooperative relationship is mutually beneficial for both of us."

Since the door is closed.

Cao Guowei then chose to speak frankly.

While Li Luo was leisurely trimming his cigar, he bluntly stated that if he was willing to exclusively join Xinlang Weibo, the online awards ceremony hosted by Xinlang would favor Xinghuo artists.

In addition, regarding the entertainment section...

Similarly, a more friendly attitude will be shown towards the businesses and artists under Xinghuo Films.

to be honest.

They just wanted to exchange influence for influence.

"of course."

Observing Li Luo's calm expression, Cao Guowei offered something more substantial: "Given Mr. Li's commercial value, Xinlang can also pay you a suitable fee."

no way.

The money still has to be paid.

Ultimately, he was the one asking Li Luo for help, and since the online gala wasn't very attractive these days, he had to keep adding more and more to show his sincerity.

"Whoo~~~"

A special lighter emits a pale blue flame, quickly igniting the cigar.

Wisps of smoke continued to rise.

"Thank you."

Cao Guowei took the cigar, put it in his mouth, and then squinted his sharp eyes at Li Luo, who was lighting up another cigar. He hoped that he hadn't made a wasted trip today.

"Mr. Cao."

Li Luo slowly turned his cigar.

"Ah."

The latter became focused.

"or."

Li Luo put down the lighter, smiled, and bit the torpedo-shaped Cohiba between his white teeth: "How about we try a different way of cooperating?"

"Appreciate further details."

Cao Guowei crossed his legs.

"Ah."

Exhaling a fragrant puff of smoke, Li Luo took another sip of tea to moisten his throat: "I will exclusively join Sina Weibo and maintain sufficient activity to share my personal life, daily life on set, and other things."

"To help Sina Weibo stabilize and expand its first-mover advantage."

His fingers tightened.

Cao Guowei smoked his cigar until it turned a deep red.

For him, this is the ideal situation. Simply registering an account is not very useful; he has to work hard to attract fans and moviegoers.

As for the first-mover advantage.

He narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Li Luo.

It seems this guy not only understands film and television, but also has some knowledge of the internet.

Cao Guowei knows perfectly well that his peers are sharpening their knives, and in six months at the latest, or even sooner, new Weibo platforms like NetEase Weibo, Sohu Weibo, and Tencent Weibo will be launched.

And it waged a brutal war against itself.

Sina Weibo must seize this window of opportunity in the next few months to maintain its first-mover advantage, gather enough users to build a strong moat, and withstand the various impacts that may come.

That's why he shamelessly stayed behind after finishing his meal to guard Li Luo.

"in addition."

Li Luo poured tea for the other party and continued with a smile: "Fan Bingbing, Huang Shengyi, Huang Bo, Wang Ou, Bian Xiaoxiao, Wang Xun, Sun Yizhou and other Xinghuo artists have also exclusively joined Sina Weibo."

"correct."

“I can also invite Yang Mi and Zhang Liangyin over.”

Put your legs down.

Cao Guowei finally couldn't help but swallow.

These are all influential figures in the film, television, and music industries. Although their influence is not as great as Li Luo's, their collective presence will definitely bring an extremely exaggerated publicity effect.

Just thinking about that scene made him feel incredibly excited.

"at last."

Li Luo bit his cigar, his eyes shining as he looked at the internet mogul in front of him: "Spark Films has also officially entered Sina Weibo, and there are also film and television projects such as 'Empresses in the Palace,' 'Painted Skin 2,' and 'Ip Man 2.'"

"Actually, you can create an official account on Sina Weibo."

"It is used to distribute various promotional materials and attract the corresponding fan base to Xinlang Weibo."

His eyes burst forth with light.

Cao Guowei never expected that this could be done.

But he quickly leaned forward slightly, fiddling with the cigar in his hand as he looked at Li Luo: "Sounds very good, and it should be very good in fact, but I don't know what Mr. Li wants?"

The excitement on his face quickly faded, and the light in his eyes became serious.

Body language.

It also carries a hint of aggression.

It contains emotions such as vigilance, alertness, and resistance.

The first piece of good news made him extremely happy, the second piece of good news made Cao Guowei ecstatic, but the third piece of good news that followed immediately set off alarm bells in his mind.

The benefits are too numerous.

The other party must have some ulterior motive.

The fact that Li Luo could mobilize almost his entire team to help with the publicity suggests that he must be plotting something much bigger.

"It's not about wanting it."

Li Luo slowly poured him tea to ease the rising tension: "As I just said, it's a collaboration. In fact, I really admire President Cao's style of doing things."

"I also like Twitter's business model."

"I think the prospects are good."

"Brother Changdian should have told you that I am a straightforward person, so I might as well be even more straightforward."

"Mr. Cao."

Setting down his cigar, Li Luo sat upright and looked at the bigwig in front of him: "I can do everything you just mentioned. In addition, Linran Capital will also invest ten million RMB in Xinlang Weibo."

How about we become deeper business partners?

"correct."

"Linran Capital is my venture capital firm."

As he finished speaking, Cao Guowei's expression turned extremely astonished.

The brain works at lightning speed.

This guy.

I'm here to recruit people.

Unexpectedly, they turned around and tried to step into my territory. Even more unexpectedly, Li Luo actually had a venture capital company.

Invest in Weibo.

It means that you should break this project down into its own parts.

If the target were shares in Xinlang, Cao Guowei might have immediately refused. However, the choice of sub-projects forced him to stay put, despite his optimism about this business model.

But it is still in its initial stage.

Even Twitter, operating overseas, has yet to find a suitable profit model.

Whether it can be done is still unknown.

Therefore, he wasn't too resistant to venture capital investment, since it wasn't targeting his core business. Moreover, the conditions offered by Li Luo were indeed quite tempting; he just didn't know how big his appetite was.

"How much?"

Cao Guowei smoked his cigar until it turned a deep red.

"Four percent."

Li Luo held up four fingers and, without waiting for a response, continued, "With cash and influence combined, my valuation of your company—no, my valuation of President Cao—is by no means low."

He took a deep drag on his cigar.

Cao Guowei's mind was racing with calculations.

Although things took a completely unexpected turn, his business instincts made him quickly consider whether this sudden venture capital funding was worth accepting.

The company wants to raise funds.

We want to develop rapidly.

Talent, money, and resources are the three pillars. Li Luo is now providing two major supports: money and resources, which will enable the project to quickly move beyond the initial stage.

It's really good.

As for this valuation!

By bringing in a dozen celebrities to help promote the project and develop new users, their influence alone would be worth at least ten million yuan. Adding this cash, the valuation of Xinlang Weibo project has exceeded fifty million yuan.

The premium is undeniably high.

"if."

Exhaling a heavy puff of smoke, Cao Guowei narrowed his eyes: "What if I say no?"

"Mr. Cao."

Li Luo did not answer his question, but smiled and nodded, saying, "Moreover, I promise not to interfere in the company's daily management affairs easily, except when faced with major decisions."

"As long as it doesn't affect my interests."

"This vote is mine."

"It's yours!"

This last sentence made Cao Guowei's eyes light up.

The tea should be warm.

The conversation had already faded away.

Playing with the teacup in his hand, Li Luo carefully sipped the tea.

If you want venture capital to invest in a project that looks promising right now, you have to pay a certain premium, so he simply presented a series of conditions that the other party couldn't resist.

As for the question of "if not".

What is the answer.

Although Li Luo did not answer, Cao Guowei had already gotten the answer in his heart.

If the proposed financing and equity investment are not agreed to, then all the assistance will naturally become obstacles for Xinlang Weibo, and Li Luo can simply switch to other companies' Weibo projects.

And then there's that last paragraph.

This finally made Cao Guowei make a decision.

However, he still needs to go back and discuss the specifics of how to proceed with the plan with the company's senior executives.

Final share.

This is also open to discussion.

Even so, their hands had already gripped each other tightly.

Swallow the tea.

Li Luo excitedly put the cup back on the tea table.

He wasn't very interested in Xinlang Shares, which the other party was extremely wary of. The real target was Xinlang Weibo, which seemed unremarkable but could eventually reach a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, even surpassing the market value of its parent company.

to be honest.

Li Luo is using his foresight to bully people!
No matter how optimistic Cao Guowei is.

Neither side anticipated that the Weibo project would become so terrifying.

It just so happened that I was right at the start of this process, which gave me the opportunity to get involved as an angel investor.

One year later.

No, even if it's another six months later...

Let alone a 40% stake.

He didn't even have a chance to sniff it out before those established venture capital firms, their eyes gleaming with greed, rushed over and surrounded him!

Whether it's 40% or 30%, the next step is...

At least.

I have already received my admission ticket.

Thinking about how Weibo's market value would exceed 30 billion US dollars at its peak, Li Luo couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Management rights.

Of course, I don't want this.

Voting rights.

It was used to buy Cao Guowei's welcoming attitude.

People like the other party, who are used to the internet, don't care too much about financing and equity investment. What they care about most is control over the project and the company.

Therefore, Li Luo's promise.

It was extremely tempting for Cao Guowei.

The next thing to do is simply sit back and enjoy the ride, watching it surge forward and continuously earn you a fortune. Why bother with all the mental and physical exertion?

Unrestrained laughter.

Hearing this, Zhao Xuejing, who was sitting outside, scratched her head repeatedly.

"Xiao Jing."

"Come in and open your presents!"

With another loud shout, the administrative assistant got up and went inside with great interest.

Li Luo and Zhao Xuejing quickly unpacked all sorts of gifts, including calligraphy, paintings, ornaments, and sports equipment, and noted who gave them to them, knowing they would inevitably have to reciprocate in the future.

Of course, if you can't remember, that's fine too.

He held the golden eagle with outstretched wings, presented by the Wang brothers, firmly in his hands.

Li Luo couldn't help but burst into laughter again. He happily wiped the five-pound golden eagle and placed it in his safe with the golden dog and the golden seal.

at the same time.

There was a constant stream of people outside the Spark Cube.

You can take a taxi, the subway, or a bus and then walk to get there.

The trainees of the Spark Training Program arrived one after another before the appointed time. They looked at the magnificent building with longing and nervousness, and then showed their admission notices to the security personnel at the entrance before entering.

The suitcase rattled loudly.

We stopped in front of the main entrance.

In the circular flower bed in front of the main gate, the four bronze-colored characters "Xinghuo Film and Television" are huge and eye-catching.

The trainees put down their suitcases and took photos to commemorate the occasion.

Of course, they also cast excited and cautious glances at the other potential trainees who also held invitations. What appeared before them were not only their partners for the next five months, but also their competitors.

neither knows.

Will I be able to successfully join Xinghuo Film and Television?

After tightening the handles of their suitcases, everyone stepped into Spark Cube with trepidation.

Embrace your own unknown future.

Holding the folder in my hand.

Li Luoxin walked in the spacious and bright fourth-floor U-shaped corridor.

Manager Lin, the artist management department manager, and Zhao Xuejing and others followed in a flurry of footsteps, attracting attention wherever they went, before enthusiastically throwing themselves into their work.

Changes brought about by the office environment.

It's not just about comfort, but also about an extremely strong sense of pride.

In addition, the Xinghuo Restaurant, which Li Luo personally decided to establish, offers employees maximum benefits, allowing them to enjoy extremely lavish meals for just a few dollars.

Spend a little money.

However, it had a great effect.

This boosted morale throughout the company and created a strong sense of unity.

"Luo Ge."

The employees standing outside the training room perked up and straightened their backs as they faced the approaching group.

As the sound rang out.

The commotion in the training room quickly subsided.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Li Luo smiled and nodded, then reached out and pushed open the slightly ajar glass door.

In an instant.

The noise inside the room resumed.

Before them was a meeting and training room resembling a classroom, where the students of the Spark Artist Class were scattered. As Li Luo appeared, all the students hurriedly stood up.

They looked at him with intense, burning gazes.

"Hello, senior."

"Luo Ge."

"Mr. Li Luo."

"Mr. Li."

A jumble of noises echoed in the training room.

Lin Yue and the others all stood in the direction of the door, looking with great interest at the young faces inside filled with excitement and longing. Most of these trainees had large suitcases with them.

obviously.

Everyone is ready to embark on a new journey.

The students' eyes followed the tall figure with excitement, looking at their handsome senior, at the legendary figure who came from the Beijing Film Academy, and at Brother Luo, who was skilled in screenwriting, directing, and acting.

Arrive directly in front.

Li Luo stood firmly on his feet.

He casually opened the folder, pointing the pen to the first name on it:
"Yang Zhi".

"To!"

Press your hands against the seams of your pants.

Yang Zhi, who was standing not far away, responded excitedly.

Many eyes were drawn to her, and they were surprised to recognize her as the child star who had appeared in "Home with Kids". However, she did not care about these eyes and excitedly met Li Luo's gaze.

"Shu~"

Li Luo ticked a box and happily continued calling roll.

"Zhao Si".

"To!"

Another girl with a ponytail stood up straight.

"Zhu Yilong".

Li Luo looked at the next person.

"To!"

The boy, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall, was full of energy and his voice sounded quite steady.

His appearance is quite distinctive.

I think I won either the Golden Rooster Award or the Hundred Flowers Award.

"Wang Zhi".

"To!"

A clear voice sounded.

The girl with slightly dark skin had clearly been through a lot of wind and rain, but her pure and sweet appearance still made her highly recognizable.

He looked at Li Luo.

Wang Zhi couldn't suppress the excitement in her eyes.

At the same time, he clenched his fists secretly, vowing that he must stay.

After finishing her grassroots work, she unexpectedly received a call from her juniors saying that Xinghuo Film and Television was preparing to set up a Xinghuo Training Class. Without thinking, she sent her resume to the recruitment email address.

Performing was something she had always dreamed of.

Given the opportunity.

You have to try.

If all else fails, you can take on minor roles or supporting characters. You just have to keep going step by step like this. For an actor with no background or connections, this is the only path to take.

He glanced at the other person.

A background music inexplicably popped into Li Luo's mind.

Tsk.

Qiuya!
His expression remained unchanged as he quickly drew a checkmark on the folder.

The name is constantly being mentioned.

Responses rang out one after another in the training room.

It didn't take long.

Li Luo closed the folder.

Standing before him were twelve students recruited from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, Beijing Film Academy, and Central Academy of Drama. They would then begin a three-month intensive training program in Beijing before interning in film crews.

The ratio of men to women is 50% among the twelve people.

The gains were greater than I expected; I never imagined that Yang Zhi, Zhu Yilong, and Wang Zhi would all be on the student list.

There is only Yang Zhi.

That will be enough to support the student classes.

"My name is Li Luo."

Li Luo placed the folder on the podium and looked around carefully: "From now on, I will be in charge of all affairs of the Xinghuo Artist Training Class. Until you graduate, you can call me Principal!"

The twelve people looked at each other excitedly, then turned to look ahead:

"Hello, Principal!!!"

"it is good."

Li Luo accepted it calmly.

He fully deserves this title. He has spent a lot of time and money to make the Spark Training Program a success, as long as the students are willing to study the courses seriously.

Then their trip will definitely not have been in vain.

"sit down."

Feeling secretly pleased, Li Luo waved his hand to indicate: "The training situation will be explained to you in detail by the artist management department manager later."

"Let me say a few words to you first."

Everyone sat down.

He looked excitedly at the principal standing at the front.

"first."

Looking at Wang Zhi, Li Luo raised his palm and gestured, "Wang, could you please tell us why you became an actress? You don't need to stand, we can all sit and talk. We're just here to chat."

"dream."

Wang Zhi answered excitedly.

"What about you?"

Li Luo looked at Zhu Yilong.

"I love the art of light and shadow and hope to leave my mark."

"you."

Li Luo pointed to the next person.

"I love performing."

"All right!"

Li Luo turned around and grabbed a large pen from the side: "I'm different from all of you. When I first became an actor, I wanted to earn more money, preferably 2.08 million a day."

The words fell.

The training room was completely silent.

Lin Yue held back her laughter, suppressing the urge to burst out laughing.

"Not funny?"

Li Luo turned around and blinked.

"Pfft~"

Yang Zhi was the first to break down, and the rest of them grinned broadly.

"It's actually true."

Li Luo slowly wrote on the whiteboard, his voice echoing in the training room: "I really want to earn more money so I can order two chicken legs when I eat."

"Taking a bite from the left and a bite from the right, I still find that taste wonderful."

Inside the training room.

Soft laughter continued.

At the same time, he stared intently at the word "actor" that appeared on the whiteboard.

"Regardless of the initial purpose."

Li Luo tapped two large, bold characters on the whiteboard, his voice booming: "I hope you all understand what you are ultimately pursuing; this is what I am searching for."

"To become an excellent actor!"

"The original intention of the Spark Training Program was also to cultivate qualified and excellent actors."

"Therefore, Xinghuo Film and Television will start training from the basics, including walking, riding horses, archery, and even how to eat. They will break you down and throw you into the crew as unknown A, B, C, or D."

"I will pin you to the ground."

"Let all of you learn to take root and sprout, thus embarking on a brand new path as actors."

The students in the audience had sparkling eyes.

I stared intently at him.

"You can register."

Li Luo threw the pen onto the podium and strode forward: "I believe you are all mentally prepared to endure hardship. Of course, you can also quit if you really can't take it."

"It doesn't matter, it's okay."

"For many people, there are wider roads out there."

"My path."

"It was actually very difficult, and the path was also very challenging."

"But I assure those who persevere that as long as you can demonstrate enough talent, Xinghuo Films can provide a large enough stage for you to realize your dreams!"

The resounding words fell to the ground.

The trainees' excited applause erupted like a storm, their hands clapping until they ached.
