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

Chapter 569 Twilight Appears
Despite Christine's reluctance.

But Li Luo quickly let go of his hand, crossed his legs comfortably, and began to watch the bizarre movie with serious and focused attention.

That's right.

It's a really bizarre movie.

The plot is melodramatic and overly sentimental, and the actors' performances are simply indescribable.

No matter how much others criticize it, the Twilight series of movies is incredibly successful at the box office, ranking among the highest-grossing film series worldwide, as far as I can remember.

Each one is released.

The movies made a fortune at the box office.

It seems that the last film in the series even had the highest box office performance, a case of you criticize yourselves and I'm popular with my own films.

Beloved person.

I absolutely love it!

Although I'm not a fan of this kind of movie.

But as a professional in the field, he still maintains his usual habits.

Try to find the advantages.

There's a reason why it's called a fan-oriented film.

Christine makes her entrance.

scream.

Jacob appeared.

cheer.

When the vampires from the Cullen family appeared, screams and cheers mingled together.

I want to watch movies in an immersive way.

no way!

The entire screening room almost turned into a carnival party. Just seeing a few main characters was enough to get the audience excited, and even non-fans would be drawn into the excitement.

Despite the immense noise.

Li Luo calmed down and continued to analyze the reasons for the film's success.

First of all, it's beautiful.

The female lead is beautiful, the male lead is handsome in the eyes of fans, Jacob is equally handsome, and frankly, the vampires in the Cullen family are all good-looking, plus the stunning filming locations.

It's pleasing to the eye.

At least at the beginning, no one will feel any sense of rejection.

Secondly, it's cool.

Everyone in the movie is cool, the kind of cool kid that everyone wants to be in an American school, the kind who is independent and unconventional.

And of course, there's also plenty of beauty.

before this.

Vampires are mostly depicted as ugly and ferocious.

However, in Twilight, they are to some extent transformed into something beautiful and superior, abandoning some common traditional vampire elements, such as not being scorched to dust when exposed to sunlight.

Instead, it shines like a diamond.

This kind of setting naturally attracts teenagers.

And then there's the melodramatic, over-the-top stuff.

Screenwriter Mel has a keen understanding of a group's preferences, knowing that young girls yearn for beautiful, special, and forbidden romances, and thus makes Bella the most unique person.

Werewolves and vampires have all gone mad for her.

Bella is a wronged girl.

Her parents divorced, she came to a strange town, and she was a dreamy and shy girl who witnessed the bizarre and wonderful things from a mysterious world.

This kind of setting allows countless teenage girls to easily identify with it, after all, it's an age when they love to dream.

The girl likes it.

Young boys naturally had to follow suit as well.

Of course, this is not the whole story of a film's success, but as long as it pleases the fans, produces what they dream of, and perfectly caters to their tastes, it is all that matters.

Then
On the big screen, a car goes out of control and hurtles toward Bella.

Between life and death.

Edward suddenly appeared.

"Boom."

The outstretched hand brought the car to a firm stop, leaving a deep dent in the door. As the male and female leads locked eyes, the fans in the theater erupted in cheers.

This movement.

This caused the actors in the front row to turn around excitedly.

This included Li Luo, but instead of being excited, he sighed.

So what we get.

That's the feeling I have right now.

This kind of group fanaticism is no joke.

Teenagers love to follow trends. They are afraid of falling behind and are also embarrassed by not knowing what their peers are discussing. They absolutely dislike the feeling of being isolated.

He pleased this group of people.

It's like dragging a group into it.

Everyone loves Twilight, everyone is talking about Twilight.

You don't like it.

You have no idea what people are talking about.

Please.

You're a freak.

In an American school, nobody wants to be a weirdo or a nerd who can't keep up with the times, because that means being ostracized and bullied.

All of these trends will translate into box office revenue for movies.

Judging from the current situation, it's likely that the discussion had already reached a fever pitch long before the movie was even released.

The more we see and the more we discuss.

I've invested my emotions in it!
Sometimes it's hard not to like something, and it becomes part of your youthful memories.

After that, as long as a certain level is maintained.

It was a box office hit.

That is beyond doubt.

Tapping his knees, Li Luo fixed his gaze on the big screen.

I continued to ponder this movie.

The acting of Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Ashley, and others was, to be honest, somewhat underwhelming. The male lead's resistance looked more like he was constipated.

The female lead, Christine, mostly has a blank expression and wide eyes, but she makes more small gestures when she gets close-up shots.

Actors Ashley, Nikki, and others.

They all have expressionless faces.

Most of the time, they just put on a cool facade.

Fortunately, they were all playing vampires, which was fitting for the roles. The performances of the others were a bit exaggerated, with a very strong theatrical feel, and their expressions and body language were quite exaggerated.

That's normal.

Several of the actors in this show debuted as child stars.

Li Luo had previously watched an American TV series called "Hannah Montana," which was also specifically aimed at children and teenagers.

That's just their performance style.

This is standard practice for Hollywood child stars and young actors.

Perhaps it was this realization that led them to this conclusion.

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and others later devoted themselves to low-budget art films, probably not only to get rid of the 'Twilight' image, but also to hone their acting skills.

After all, you can't live off Twilight forever.

However, all of this has come at just the right time, perfect for American teenagers.

For this Mary Sue movie.

Everything is just right.

The entire audience of fans excitedly looked towards the big screen.

Bella walked across the messy beach with her arms crossed, shocked and wide-eyed. The girl stared in disbelief at the surging sea in the distance, and the camera quickly followed her gaze.

The rain continued, and the sky was covered with dark clouds.

The waves on the sea surged wildly, inspiring fear in those who looked at them.

In an instant.

Gasps of surprise erupted in the screening room.

Amidst a towering wave, a figure with flowing long hair leaped out on a surfboard like an arrow, leaving a trail of clear water in the midst of the storm.

Beach shorts, shirtless.

He looks a bit thin, but he's very muscular.

bulging pectoral muscles.

And those perfectly sculpted abs.

As the camera zoomed out, all sorts of details appeared on the big screen, suddenly coming into view of the fans. The terrible weather seemed to have no effect on Jacob, whose eyes were full of madness and a desire to conquer.

The surfboard rapidly cuts through the waves.

With a push from his feet, he leaped into the air, propelled by the force of the surging waves.

Long hair swinging.

The surfboard rotates along with it.

There were also the shapely buttocks wrapped in wet beach shorts, and of course, incredibly strong muscles. Everything, full of male allure and wildness, spun 380 degrees in the wildly surging waves.

It then crashed heavily onto the sea.

There was a bang.

The splashes weren't just countless sparkling water droplets, but rather the rippling lake of the hearts of American girls.

What you see before you is undoubtedly real footage.

Needless to say.

Under their tense gaze, the graceful figure that had disappeared into countless waves burst forth once more, propelled by the power of the ocean, her outstretched arms and wild, confident smile that seemed to conquer the sea.

In an instant.

This caused another uproar in the screening room.

In just a few seconds, Li Luo left a deep mark on the hearts of movie fans.

I heard gasps of surprise.

Li Luo grinned, revealing her pearly white teeth.

Fortunately, the producer kept his promise. This was Jacob's only highlight moment in the script. If this scene had been cut, he would have been no different from a plot device!

Not far from him.

Godfrey smiled and crossed his arms.

Hollywood has its own set of standards for judging what kind of visuals are appealing and what kind of scenes can capture fans' attention.

During post-production editing, everyone agreed that they wanted to keep this footage.

Judging from the fans' reactions.

The decision made back then was absolutely correct.

Immediately afterwards, Li Luo emerged from the seawater carrying a surfboard and jogged up to Christine, his slightly trembling chest muscles and the water droplets clinging to his skin.

There's also the faint smoke swirling between the muscles due to the interaction of hot and cold.

Everything in front of me.

To silence the screams in the screening room.

At this moment.

Who the hell still remembers screaming?

The American girls were so excited that their toes gripped their shoes tightly, their bright eyes greedily watching the scenes on the screen, unwilling to miss a single detail.

Christine was breathing rapidly.

The circumstances surrounding the filming of this scene are vividly clear in my mind.

Ashley pursed her lips.

His throat rolled down forcefully.

Nikki, standing next to her, crossed her legs, her thigh muscles twitching involuntarily, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

Abnormal behavior.

Godfrey turned back again, puzzled.

The sight of those radiant faces behind him brought a smile to his lips.

As for Pattinson...

Our male protagonist simply scratched his cheek.

I envy Li Luo's great figure.

That's it.

The other person's role consisted of only a few simple scenes, and even the scene where he took Bella to visit the town was cut. His screen time was pitifully short, and it would be unreasonable if he didn't get one or two highlight shots.

No matter what, Li was the designated second male lead.

They have so few scenes.

He was already a little embarrassed, so how could he possibly be jealous now?

The movie continues.

The worldview is gradually unfolded through Jacob's words.

The male and female protagonists successfully go on a date. Bella discovers clues about the vampire. Edward appears in the sunlight, his skin shining like a diamond. On his back, she climbs up a towering tree like an ape.

Baseball game.

The vampires displayed astonishing speed and strength.

The fans were overwhelmed by the variety of beautiful and cool visuals.

The villain makes his appearance.

The scene of the standoff between the two sides.

Li Luo almost couldn't help but burst out laughing. The main reason was that these guys' movements were just too clumsy. It's really not easy for a martial arts choreographer to make a living in North America. They have to figure out how to make the scenes look good, and they also have to worry about whether these foreigners can actually pull off the moves.

The fans, however, were completely engrossed in watching it.

Run away.

The female protagonist was arrested.

Edward appears at the critical moment.

What followed was the climax of the fight, which almost made Li Luo yawn.

substitute.

Various camera cuts.

There were no decent fighting techniques; the vampires' power was only demonstrated by destroying the set. I imagine the hardest thing for the actors was holding back laughter while they were baring their teeth.

When the other vampires appeared, the wire work was somewhat unstable.

Of course, all of this is from his perspective.

For the fans at the scene.

The destructive power they displayed was enough to make them stare without blinking.

Night falls.

Edward and Bella danced gracefully under the dazzling lights, and the two kissed passionately to the music, making hundreds of fans starry-eyed and clutching their chests, with various whispers echoing throughout.

But this feeling of happiness.

He was quickly manipulated by the female villain who appeared on the scene.

This makes everyone realize that the danger is not yet completely over.

Before they could have any more expectations, the big screen gradually turned gray as the female villain turned around and walked down the stairs with a cold expression, followed by the floating production information.

"Please."

"Please do not!"

"My Edward, Bella!!!"

"Please, that's not enough, I want to keep watching."

The cries of reluctance echoed throughout the screening room; no one wanted to accept the fact that the movie had come to an end.

Followed by.

Excited applause erupted like a tsunami.

The fans, their faces flushed with excitement, expressed their love for the film without reservation; the director had fulfilled almost all their wonderful expectations.

Such movement.

It left film critics completely baffled.

In their view, this is a terrible movie with no substance whatsoever.

Besides the beautiful scenery.

It can only be described as utterly useless.

wrong.

The Asian actor, who didn't have many scenes, performed well. His camera presence, expressiveness, and charisma were all excellent, without any trace of acting.

As for the other actors...

damn it.

They were so embarrassed they could hardly sit still.

Is it difficult to master facial expression control and then perform on the big screen?

And now.

Surprisingly, it was a round of applause from the entire audience.

However, the film critic clapped his hands in boredom.

This is all fans.

popular.

That's perfectly normal.

Once the film is released on a large scale, its box office performance will likely make the producers' hearts bleed. At this point, there's no need to undermine it; let's just reluctantly offer some consolation applause!
The film crew had no time to care what the film critics were thinking.

Amid cheers from the fans.

The lights come on.

The actors, filled with excitement, quickly stood up and waved and applauded to the enthusiastic fans behind them in gratitude.

Looking at these faces that were just on the big screen.

The fans were absolutely thrilled.

The actors.

I was equally excited and my heart was pounding.

At least for this moment, they were not met with deafening boos.

After the host came on stage to thank the fans, he began inviting the main cast and crew to come in front of the screen for interviews.

Amidst wave after wave of cheers.

The actors greeted each other, laughed heartily, and walked forward arm in arm. Hollywood interviews aren't so serious; the goal is to connect with the fans.

Just avoid abstract concepts.

Smiling and high-fiving Christine, Li Luo looked excitedly at the hundreds of fans in front of him.

And under the leadership of producer Godfrey.

He raised his palm.

Let's all give a round of applause to the audience who support this movie.

Whether the movie suits my taste is no longer a consideration; since these fans have spent money to come and support me, I should express my gratitude to them.

The popularity they brought.

This also helped him establish himself in Hollywood.

"OK, OK."

The host held up the microphone and waved his arms to the audience: "Next is our interview segment. You can ask the creators any questions you have, but of course, they can't be too private."

"For example, whether Edward and Bella are secretly dating in private."

"You can't ask that."

The host was quite good.

They immediately seized upon the fans' lingering emotions.

Although Christine felt helpless, she could only smile and purse her lips. When she noticed Pattinson scratching his head shyly, the fans at the scene were so excited that they almost went crazy.

At the host's prompting.

The microphone was constantly being handed to the fans by the staff on site.

various problems.

It was quickly tossed to the actor on stage.

The majority of the attention was focused on the two main characters, Christine and Pattinson, which was no surprise. Li Luo simply watched with a smile, sometimes laughing along and sometimes clapping softly.

He blended perfectly into the atmosphere on set, and you couldn't tell at all that he was a newbie making his Hollywood debut.

"Thank you."

Taking the microphone, the blonde girl excitedly looked ahead: "This question is for Jacob. Oh my god, you have a great body. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight!"

The words that rang out immediately sparked a burst of laughter.

Recalling what I just witnessed, I wonder how many girls nodded excitedly.

"Fans' wishes should be fulfilled."

Taking the microphone from Christine, Li Luo looked at her for help: "But this is my first time attending a Hollywood movie premiere. If I take off my clothes and show off my muscles at this time..."

"Will the police take me away?"

"If that happens, will you go to the police station to bail me out?"

He has few scenes.

There won't be many opportunities to be questioned.

Others strive to perform well.

At this point, Li Luo naturally had to find a way to make his fans remember him. As a movie aimed at fans, the opinions of the fans could, to some extent, determine his fate.

When it's time to show off, there's absolutely no room for ambiguity.

"Yes!"

Christine, instantly understanding after his eye contact, leaned closer to the microphone and said with a smile, "And, No!!!"

"Feel sorry."

Li Luo shrugged at his fans.

"Hahaha."

The two sang in harmony, making everyone on and off stage burst into laughter.

"No no no."

Noticing the staff member extending their hand to her, the blonde woman quickly wiped the smile off her face: "That's not what I wanted to ask. What I wanted to ask is whether we'll see you in the sequel?"

“Oh my god~”

"I want to see more of your performances."

"And when you were surfing, did you do all of that yourself?"

"So, Cool!"

"Is this your first time attending a Hollywood premiere? You're Chinese, right? How's it like being in Los Angeles? Besides 'Twilight,' what other works have you done?"

Besides being excited.

Problems came out like machine gun fire.

The foreign girl didn't care about questioning rules at this point.

The moment she saw Jacob appear on the screen, she vowed to become his fan; his exotic charm was simply irresistible.

Li Luo did not respond immediately.

After hesitating for a moment, he cast a pleading look at Ashley, who was standing next to him.

At such times.

I can't interact with Christine too much in public.

Ashley understood what he meant and quickly leaned closer to repeat the fan's question in plain language.

"Feel sorry."

Seeing the fans' bewildered expressions, Godfrey stepped forward and introduced with a smile: "Li is from China. His English is good, but you spoke too fast and used some slang just now."

"I think he just needs a temporary translator."

Looking at the expectant faces below the stage, Godfrey and screenwriter Mel exchanged a glance, both feeling secretly relieved.

In Cannes.

I felt that Li would be a helpful asset.

In retrospect, the decision made back then was absolutely correct.

In terms of screen time.

There were more than a dozen actors on stage.

He needs to be at the back!

Although the timing of his appearance was crucial, Li didn't really have many opportunities to appear. Yet, he managed to make fans remember him with just a few scenes, thanks to his personal charm.

This actor was definitely the right choice.

The producer's words prompted fans to immediately applaud Li Luo in encouragement.

"Thank you."

At this moment, Li Luo also sorted out his thoughts and looked at the audience with a smile: "Of course I hope to appear in the sequel, but all of this requires your support. I hope we can meet again."

"I'm the surfer."

"However, this behavior is unsafe and we do not recommend that anyone learn it!"

"With good weather and the guidance of professional instructors, I hope you can also enjoy surfing."

"I am Chinese."

"Los Angeles is a fantastic city, and I love the weather here."

"You guys are amazing fans too!"

"That's the truth."

"Thank you all for making me feel more enthusiastic than ever before tonight. Can I tell you that my back is so nervous that it's soaked with sweat?"

The various words spoken.

This elicited continuous satisfied laughter from the fans present.

Looking at his profile.

Christine felt another slight flutter in her heart.

Damn it, is this the charm of a mature man?!

Her effortless performance, combined with her appearance that was the same age as herself, created a strong contrast that made her heart pound.

"at last."

Li Luo turned around and pointed to the big screen, saying with a bright smile, "If you feel it's not enough, I suggest watching 'Twilight' again tonight. I believe it will bring everyone even more surprises."

at this time.

He certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to introduce his own work.

No production company wants to see this happen; you have to play the role appropriate to the stage you're on.

Praise the fans.

To express one's goodwill.

Try to present your 'true' self and continue to win over fans with your personal charm.

Finally, they kept focusing on boosting box office revenue.

These ones.

That's what Li Luo is going to do.

As he finished speaking, producer Godfrey immediately gave him a loud and satisfied round of applause.

Li Luo handed over the microphone and quietly took a half step back.

He smiled and clapped lightly, his impeccable performance reducing any potential hostility or competitive pressure, while making the fans' eyes sparkle, eager to know more about him.
