The Godfather of Chinese Entertainment's Little Flowers

Han Luo had always felt that Guo Jinyu had a kind of江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) spirit about him.

At last year's Magnolia Awards ceremony, Guo Jinyu, as an award presenter and judge, publicly criticized the organizing committee for unfair nominations.

The reason is that Li Xuejian, who delivered a textbook performance in "Hey, Old Man," was not nominated for Best Actor at the Magnolia Awards.

Instead, Huang Xiaochu, who played Li Xuejian's son in the drama, received a nomination.

It's not that I'm deliberately belittling Huang Xiaochu's acting skills.

However, compared to Li Xuejian, he is indeed far from being as skilled!

When Guo Jinyu learned of this outcome, he couldn't stand it any longer!

We demand the release of those 70 primary election ballots!

In the end, the organizing committee had no choice but to temporarily add a "Magnolia Outstanding Contribution Award"!

In later years, when his film "The Legend of Motherhood" was broadcast, it was severely suppressed. In a fit of anger, Guo Jinyu exposed the industry's inside story.

That means buying viewership ratings!

They won't let you air the show unless you buy ratings!

The 80-plus episode series "The Legend of Motherhood" requires 900,000 yuan to buy viewership ratings per episode, and the entire series costs more than 72 million yuan just to buy viewership ratings!

This is absolutely outrageous!

Of course, his novel "The Way of the Mother" also caused quite a bit of controversy at the time, and was criticized for promoting feudal dross, etc.

I won't go into more details.

However, it was precisely this personality trait that enabled him to rise from a script supervisor to become the leader of the "Guo Family Team".

Furthermore, Guo Jinyu's family background is quite impressive.

There are four brothers. The eldest is in politics, the second is in business, he is the third, and the fourth, Yang Zhigang, is an actor.

Han Luo said with a grin, "Teacher Guo, my mom and grandma both really enjoyed watching your film 'Iron Pear Blossom'!"

Guo Jinyu was clearly taken aback.

People are only talking about what they like to watch the most.

You've got some nerve, bringing up your own mother and grandmother to try and suppress others based on seniority, haven't you!

However, Guo Jinyu didn't seem to care much about it.

He was well aware that the target audience for the dramas he produced was primarily middle-aged people.

If Han Luo really said he liked watching it, that would be a lie.

Guo Jinyu shook hands with Han Luo and said with a smile, "Then please thank them for their support."

Han Luo seized the opportunity to flatter him, saying, "Okay, I will definitely pass on the message. They will be very happy if they know that I met you, Brother Guo."

"By the way, my grandma always taught me that no matter what industry you're in, you should always learn from your seniors!"

Guo Jinyu couldn't help but smile, and a few wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes.

He had to admit that he was indeed pleased by Han Luo's flattery.

I had the same thought as Jiang Jiajun.

This little guy is thick-skinned, has good emotional intelligence, and is also good-looking.

No wonder he could make two beautiful women on set laugh the moment he arrived!

This child has a bright future!

Jiang Jiajun suddenly asked curiously, "Teacher Han Luo, I heard you made a film yourself? You directed it?"

"Director Jiang, you're too kind. Just call me Xiao Luo," Han Luo explained with a smile.

"It's not a particularly great work, just a web series. I'm not the director; the director is my senior, but I wrote the script."

Both Guo and Jiang were taken aback.

Although the information is incorrect—Han Luo is not the director but the screenwriter—it is still shocking!

Although screenwriters don't have a high status in China, not just anyone can become one.

Han Luo was able to write a script independently, secure investment, and find people to help him film it, which shows that he definitely has something special.

It's definitely no worse than directing yourself.

Guo Jinyu smiled kindly.

"Xiao Luo, don't underestimate yourself. The domestic online drama market has a very bright future. Keep up the good work, you have a promising future."

I agree with that statement!

Jiang Jiajun also chimed in:

"That's not bad. Didn't your brother Guo produce a show called 'Soul Ferry' a while ago? It's doing quite well on air, isn't it?"

Han Luo suddenly slapped his thigh, annoyed, and said:

"How could I forget about 'The Ferryman'? I absolutely love that show!"

Guo Jingyu smiled and said:

"Actually, this drama has little to do with me. I was just listed as a producer; my subordinates were the ones who did the production."

"By the way, Han Luo, what kind of drama is this one you're filming?"

Han Luo replied, "A youth suspense romance..."

Guo Jinyu paused for a few seconds, then said, "This type is quite rare. Remember to invite me to see it when it's released."

Han Luo laughed and said, "As long as you do me the honor, Brother Guo!"

"Definitely, I'll definitely go when I have time."

"If it's convenient, could I add the brothers' contact information?"

"It's convenient, there's nothing inconvenient about it."

Han Luo calmly took out his phone and skillfully scanned the QR code.

To avoid embarrassment, Han Luo even added Yang Xuwen, who had been silently standing by, to the list.

After all, he's standing right next to us; ignoring him would be incredibly low in emotional intelligence.

Yang Xuwen was also a little flattered.

As a young man who frequently surfs the internet, he must know Han Luo.

There's no way around it, Han Luo is really popular lately!

In terms of sheer star power, Han Luo is miles ahead of him.

This person was surprisingly down-to-earth and even proactively added him to his contact information. Yang Xuwen suddenly realized that he was actually a pretty nice person!

Even the jealousy she felt when she saw Han Luo flirting with two beautiful women in the same drama crew vanished instantly.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Jiang Jiajun prepared to leave.

He glanced at Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi beside Han Luo and smiled meaningfully.

"I was originally planning to take Brother Han Luo out for a meal, but looking at it now, it seems like he doesn't need me anymore. Tsk tsk... youth is truly wonderful!"

He's from Hong Kong, what strange scenes hasn't he seen?

Let alone two women and one man, even if there were two more, it would be a small matter!

Guo Jinyu burst into laughter upon seeing this.

Han Luo knew the two were joking, so he scratched his head and explained:

"Brothers, please stop teasing me. We're just friends!"

Jiang Jiajun narrowed his eyes, a half-smile playing on his lips, and said:

"We're friends, I understand. It's okay. Have fun, I have to go now!"

The filming for today was basically over, and he was thinking of holding a debriefing meeting.

However, since Han Luo is here, let's give him face and hold the meeting tomorrow.

Han Luo was also quite helpless, too lazy to explain further: "Okay, goodbye, brothers!"

Guo Jinyu nodded to the three of them and left with the dazed Yang Xuwen.

Han Luo shrugged, spread his hands towards Li Yitong and Sister Meng, and said with a smile, "It's Director Jiang who insists on misunderstanding, there's nothing I can do about it."

Sister Meng didn't seem to care much about Han Luo's statement.

After all, the two had already privately agreed not to make their relationship public.

But when she heard that their relationship had been misunderstood, she was even a little excited.

However, Li Yitong was simply an innocent victim.

Her ears turned red, and she gave Han Luo a coquettish glare before taking Meng Jie's arm and smiling:

"You took advantage of me so soon after we met, you'll have to treat me to dinner tonight!"
