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

Chapter 108: Contented Chen Zihan
"Mr. Wu."

Li Luo stopped in front of the group of people.

He then moved his gaze to another person, who smiled like a little old man. He was not good-looking, but he was indeed a world-renowned director.

"Let me introduce."

Wu Dun always had the smile of an old fox. He gestured to the person beside him and said, "This is Director Li An. You should have seen the movies he directed. He happens to be in Beijing right now. I invite him to come over and have a seat."

Wandao is a small place.

Relevant practitioners can always establish connections by going around in circles.

Knowing that Li An was in Beijing, Wu Dun immediately paid a visit to invite him over. Apart from anything else, just showing up at the press conference for The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber would bring a lot of attention.

Needless to say, Li Luo also knew this great director who had the same surname as him.

His abilities and status are extraordinary.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Brokeback Mountain, Life of Pi, these movies have won numerous awards.

"Hello, Director Li An."

Li Luo shook the other person's outstretched hand and couldn't help but compliment him: "I'm actor Li Luo. I really like your movies, especially Eat Drink Man Woman. But I can't watch the beginning part too closely."

"why?"

There was a look of inquiry in Li An's eyes.

It's rare to find someone saying that his movies can't be watched in detail, and he wanted to know the reason.

Wu Dun winked at Li Luo, signaling him not to talk nonsense. It was not right to find fault with someone when meeting him for the first time.

“Just look carefully.”

Li Luo patted his stomach, shook his head and said, "I just can't help but look for something to eat. Who can stand this?"

Movie analysis etc.

He was too lazy to say.

These few sentences are true. In the opening of Eat Drink Man Woman, the old man deftly handles all kinds of complicated ingredients. The shots seem ordinary, but they give people an extremely comfortable viewing experience.

Seeing this also greatly stimulates my appetite.

"Hahaha."

Li An immediately burst into laughter.

What we want is to influence real life through the language of the lens. A simple sentence like "I feel hungry" makes him happier than analyzing the deeper meaning from various angles.

While feeling happy, he couldn't help but share the interesting things that happened during the filming with Li Luo.

At that time, in order to present a variety of delicious food.

He specially invited two famous chefs from Wandao to help, which resulted in those mouth-watering scenes in the movie.

After chatting for a while.

At Wu Dun's call, they walked to the side together.

A big director came to visit.

Naturally, it caused a small sensation.

At this time, Li An was very popular. First, he directed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which was a great success at the box office and in many ways received good reviews, turning Xiao Zhang into an international Zhang. Now, he is directing a commercial blockbuster with an investment of over 100 million US dollars.

Any character that comes out can make people laugh out loud.

Naturally, it is praised by all kinds of people.

Li Luo stood in the corner with a smile, looking at Li An who was in high spirits in the crowd.

Who can guess.

Just three months later, this popular director suffered a huge blow that almost ended his career.

The production cost of Hulk directed by Li An was over 100 million, but the performance after its release was low. In the end, the global box office was only over 200 million US dollars, which seems to be much higher than the production cost.

Looks like you can make money.

But that’s not how the accounts were calculated.

To put it simply, theaters alone will take almost half of the box office revenue.

The film didn't even make back its investment.

The box office was a disastrous failure.

Even Li An’s usual good reputation could not be maintained.

It was criticized by many film critics.

Compared with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Li Anzhen just rode a roller coaster and truly experienced what it means to have great ups and downs.

Fortunately, he does have the ability.

He then made a comeback with Brokeback Mountain.

But that's all in the past. Now is the other party's time of glory.

Li An in the crowd turned around inadvertently and noticed Li Luo standing by the window. The image of him wearing a suit and walking from the Republic of China era appeared in his mind again.

Everything is ready on site and the event can finally begin.

Led by staff.

The three protagonists, one man and two women, entered the scene first.

"Li Luo, look here."

"Jingwen."

"Smile over here, thank you!"

The moment he walked into the banquet hall, the flashing lights illuminated Li Luo's eyes and a chaotic shouting sounded in his ears.

He slowly turned his neck, keeping a standard smile on his face, trying not to make any mistakes in his posture.

Don't move until you can see something in front of you.

First we came to the huge signature wall.

The above are all characters from the play, including all the main actors in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.

Li Luo took the big pen handed to him by the staff. He first posed for the cameras, then waved his hand and drew a cursive signature in front of his own portrait.

Jia Jingwen and Gao Yuanyuan also followed.

The entire banquet hall was decorated in a fancy way, with various martial arts elements dotted throughout.

Zhang Long is very creative.

Each table is labeled with the name of each major sect in the novel.

Surrounded by more than a dozen media reporters, the three protagonists came to the table with the Ice and Fire Island plaque and sat down, and the first wave of interviews followed.

"First of all, congratulations on the upcoming new drama."

The first reporter asked first: "Do you have anything to say to the audience?"

"Hello, audience friends."

They looked at each other, and at Jia Jingwen's signal, Li Luo responded, "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber is about to be broadcast. Many front-stage and backstage staff from both sides of the Taiwan Strait have put in several months of hard work in the hope of bringing everyone a wonderful show."

“Please give us your support here, thank you very much.”

"Jia Jingwen."

Another reporter asked, "Any interesting things you can share with us during the filming?"

"Okay~"

Jia Jingwen, who had short hair and was wearing a pink long-sleeved shirt, looked around with a funny smile on her face: "I wonder whose interesting stories you want to know? I have as many as you want."

"cough~"

Li Luo bumped her shoulder and quietly pointed to Gao Yuanyuan on the other side.

of course.

This so-called quiet.

In fact, it was carried out under the watchful eyes of all the reporters.

"very good."

Jia Jingwen nodded and said seriously, "Then tell me something interesting about Li Luo?"

"Hey~"

Li Luo spread his hands at the right time.

Expressed strong dissatisfaction.

The two sang in unison, causing the media reporters to burst into laughter.

There was no rehearsal, and they just relied on their mutual understanding to liven up the atmosphere.

The laughter made Gao Yuanyuan relax. She had been a little nervous since she entered the door. After all, this was her first time experiencing such a big scene, unlike Li Luo who had been baptized in Wan Island.

The media over there is much more aggressive!

"Who do you like more, Zhou Zhiruo or Zhao Min, Li Luo?" After a while, the same old topic came up again. He naturally repeated the same thing over and over again.

No one is to be offended.

"Yuan Yuan."

Another reporter targeted the Beijing chick: "According to what I've learned, you didn't have much acting experience before, and playing Zhou Zhiruo this time is a rare experience."

“Have you encountered any difficulties or challenges?”

Li Luo handed over the microphone and pretended to listen attentively.

"Thank you."

Gao Yuanyuan nodded in thanks and said softly, "This filming experience is really rare. In fact, I backed out at the beginning, fearing that I would mess up the role!"

"Thanks to the director's encouragement, I was able to persevere."

"Jingwen and Li Luo also provided great help. They took the trouble to play with me. I hope the result will not disappoint everyone."

"Actually, Yuanyuan is very talented."

The big sister Jia Jingwen took over the conversation and praised him highly: "He is very talented in acting. He doesn't look like an actor who has just started costume dramas. His appearance is also quite amazing."

Now we are all in the same boat, and we prosper together and suffer together.

Li Luo was also generous with his praise.

"Li Luo."

Another reporter looked at him and asked quickly, "About last month?"

"You're right."

Li Luo interrupted him with a smile, waved his hand and said, "I have been in Zhuozhou last month filming Ping Zong Xia Ying, but how about we talk about the news of that drama another day? Thank you very much."

Follow the other person's momentum and change the topic.

Don't give me the chance to ask.

Before the reporter could speak again, the other reporters tactfully focused their questions on The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.

The news media were invited here and were given food and gifts. The vast majority of them acted with integrity and knew what they should do.

The reporter who wanted to ask about The Legend of the Condor Heroes was also looked at with disgust by the others.

It's such a rude way to do things.

Who will ask you to attend this kind of press conference in the future?
As the reporters were asking and answering questions, other actors entered the stage one after another according to their status.

The atmosphere of the entire press conference was very harmonious. There was no question-and-answer session. It was like an exclusive interview with the entire crew. Anyone who wanted to talk to could come up and have a few words.

Chatting and taking photos, they were busy and having a lot of fun.

But in this case, some actors who are not very popular.

It will be much more embarrassing.

Seeing Chen Zihan sitting in the corner with no one paying attention to him, Li Luo remembered his previous situation and waved to him:
"Senior, come over and have a chat. What are you doing over there by yourself?"

Seeing the other party's surprised look, he introduced to the reporters around him: "Senior Chen Zihan plays Yin Li in the play, that is, Zhu'er. There was a scene that dragged me back and forth more than ten times."

"She almost collapsed from exhaustion."

Chen Zihan pinched her palms hard, then walked over quickly and sat carefully next to Li Luo.

Ever since she played a supporting actress in A Chinese Ghost Story years ago.

She was completely free.

It has been two months since Chen Zihan received any film offer. He is now in a state of panic due to the situation of sitting on the sidelines and doing nothing. He urgently needs the broadcast of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber to increase his popularity.

They are extremely eager for this opportunity to show their faces in front of the media.

So today she ignored the cold.

She wore a sexy black dress to show off her figure.

Slim waist and plump buttocks.

Da Leizi!
Even though she had achieved this, unfortunately no one was interested. Just when she was feeling depressed, she suddenly received an unexpected surprise.

There is a reminder from the male lead.

The media cooperated well and asked Chen Zihan various questions.

Anyway, it has to be given space.

One more or one less doesn’t matter.

Under Li Luo's guidance, Chen Zihan answered several questions and took a group photo with the three protagonists before returning to his seat contentedly.

Looking at Li Luo's profile.

She took a deep breath, feeling grateful.

In the circle, there are more people who take advantage of others’ misfortunes than those who help others in times of need!

Different from just now.

After just one interview, Chen Zihan looked much more radiant. Perhaps this is the magic of the spotlight.

The preliminary interview is over.

At the host's invitation, the hero and heroine walked onto the makeshift stage.

Play some small games together.

The entire stage was full of atmosphere. Not only was there a large poster of theirs at the back, but there was also a rockery built next to it, with the Sword of the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slaying Sword placed on top for the guests to appreciate.

It is impossible for Li Luo to sing, he would never sing even if he were beaten to death.

He decisively drew out the Yitian Sword and demonstrated a complete set of Seven Star Sword Technique to the reporters on the scene.

Whether it can be used in actual combat is not the point.

Just be handsome.

He was wearing a suit and practicing sword skills, but there was no sense of incongruity.

In every move.

The flashes almost never stopped.

Wu Dun and Zhang Long in the corner applauded repeatedly. No matter what the result is, at least this little brother is working hard in promoting the product.

Following the performance, there was a lucky draw on the spot.

This segment was performed by Wu Dun and Li An together. When the latter walked onto the stage, the flash lights were so bright that it almost blinded people. All the media had not expected that they could invite Li An to come and help out on the stage.

Ten of the latest MP3 players were given away, which satisfied the guests.

The main point is to do whatever makes you happy.

The crew members on the scene took a group photo together. The press conference finally came to an end. Various exquisite dishes were served like water. Li Luo, who had been busy for half a day, could finally take a break.

With a large number of media present, we naturally have to be decent.

No one will force you to drink.

But each of them had a glass of beer, which still made him feel full.

"I'm going to wash my hands."

After greeting everyone on the stage, he let out a breath of alcohol, stood up and left.

Walking out of the bathroom, a beautiful figure came into view.

"Senior."

Li Luo glanced at the other person and turned on the tap with a smile: "Even if you are happy today, you don't have to drink so much. Be careful about the amount."

Because of alcohol.

Chen Zihan's slender neck, collarbone, and that big V-neck.

They all become as pink as the newly opened peach blossoms.

"It's okay, it's just some beer." Chen Zihan was in a very good mood at the moment. She took the towel handed to her by the waiter and wiped her hands: "I can drink more than you think."

"I know~"

Li Luo raised his eyebrows at the other party: "Sichuan and Chongqing women are definitely not lazy."

"Indeed~"

This clumsy Sichuan accent made Chen Zihan laugh so hard that his chest shook.

After Li Luo wiped his hands, the two returned to the banquet hall together. Their high heels stepped silently on the carpet in the corridor. Chen Zihan slowed down her pace and said, "Thank you for what you did just now."

"You are my senior, you don't need to say these things."

Li Luo waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "This situation is temporary. Sooner or later you will be able to carve out a world of your own."

"really?"

Chen Zihan stopped completely, with self-doubt in his tone.
