"He's playing Duan Yu?"
Li Tian was also taken aback when he heard Wang Yong's words, and then looked Lan Yuhe up and down.
The young man is indeed very handsome, with bright and lively eyes.
"Yu He, would you like to act in a TV series?" Li Tian asked.
Lan Yuhe's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he hung his head.
"Uncle-Master, please stop joking. I'm the pillar of our family. Do you really think the Master will let me go?"
When Li Tian saw the gleam in Lan Yuhe's eyes just now, his eyes lit up.
This kid is indeed very suitable for the role of Duan Yu, especially his lively eyes, which perfectly meet my requirements.
However, what this kid said is indeed a problem.
Knowing his own father's personality, he really couldn't bear to let this kid go.
As the saying goes, it takes three years to learn a skill and two years to serve it.
It's not easy for the old man to cultivate a pillar of the team; it's terrible that he got rid of him.
Lan Yuhe is different from Li Shishi. After all, Shishi is the old man's own granddaughter, so naturally he has to make plans for her future.
But things are different here in Lan Yuhe. Given the old man's personality, he won't let him leave so easily.
However, there is a way. Since the last recording of "A Laugh in the Vast Sea", Li Tian has found the right way to open up to the old man.
"You don't need to worry about this, I'll handle it. I'm just asking if you're willing to take care of it?"
Hearing that Li Tian had a solution, Lan Yuhe was naturally willing, after all, he was a young man!
"Uncle-Master, as long as you can persuade Master, I'm naturally willing!"
"Alright, come audition tomorrow. Whether you can get the role depends on your skills."
"Um!"
Lan Yuhe nodded heavily, knowing that this was an opportunity to change his fate.
Wang Yong also thought highly of this young man. Although he wasn't as famous as Yang Ping, he was Li Tian's junior apprentice.
This is very important; Wang Yong now wants to cling tightly to Li Tian's coattails.
It's fine that Lan Yuhe isn't very famous; there's more than one top star in the crew.
Even if his acting is bad, it's not that bad, after all, he played Liang Shanbo very well.
And what about our senior brother Li Tian?
Ye Feng's acting was terrible before, but in the end, Li Tian still managed to bring him to a passing grade.
While not outstanding, it's quite impressive for a top star like Ye Feng.
"Wow, my cousin is joining the crew too? That's great!" Li Shishi was also very happy.
She and Lan Yuhe grew up together and have always had a very good relationship.
Now that I see my cousin is also joining the crew, I'm naturally happy for him.
Of course, there were other reasons why she was happy.
If my cousin plays Duan Yu in this drama, then he'll have to call himself Fairy Sister!
She had always called him "cousin," but this time she asked him to call her "sister."
The more Li Shishi thought about it, the happier she became, but no one knew what she was really thinking!
Back in his room, Li Tian called the old man.
Whether Lan Yuhe can play Duan Yu depends on whether his father will release him.
When Li Tian explained his purpose, the old man immediately started cursing.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Do you think it's easy for me to cultivate a star player? You think you can just poach him like that? Even if you were my son, it wouldn't be possible!"
Li Tian was not surprised at all by his father's words.
"Dad, listen to me. What I want to talk about isn't whether or not to poach your star performers, but how to better utilize the resources at hand to make money?"
Sure enough, the old man's anger subsided as soon as he heard the word "make money".
"Tell me!"
"Dad! What do you think about us starting a small entertainment company?"
"What do you mean? Explain yourself clearly!"
“Let’s take Lan Yuhe as an example this time. Our opera troupe is like an entertainment company. Lan Yuhe is your artist. When he goes out to make money, he needs to share the profits with you. What do you think of this model?”
"Hmm! If that's what you say, then it's not impossible!"
Li Tian knew that lecturing the old man with grand principles was useless; he had to talk about practical things.
"Look, your son is a screenwriter, after all. Do you think I wouldn't give my own artists a chance? Right? So, people with talent in our family should definitely be given priority, right?"
"And another thing, when other opera troupes see that our local artists are making a lot of money, won't they be willing to come and perform for free in our troupe just for a chance to perform?"
"Hiss~"
The old man wasn't someone who didn't understand these principles; these days, people are willing to eat shit just to become famous.
Just look at those livestreamers; they set off firecrackers in their crotches and eat corn with an electric drill.
It's fair to say that these people are willing to do anything to become famous!
There's nothing these people wouldn't dare to do!
And just as their eldest brother said, their opera troupe really would be overcrowded.
Even if it's not free to perform, just offering a thousand yuan a month would still attract a huge number of people eager to join.
"Hmm, you have a point. Is it difficult to register an entertainment company?"
"Dad! I'm here! How difficult can this be? It might be difficult for others, but it's not difficult at all for your son!"
"Alright, let's have Lan Yuhe set an example first. By the way, what do you think would be a better way to split the profits?"
"Let's split it 50/20! Once Lan Yuhe has gained some fame, we can discuss whether to use a 70/30 split or a 40/60 split!"
Hearing Li Tian's words, the old man felt a pang of pity and said, "Isn't this a bit too harsh?"
