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

Chapter 583 Master Li's True Skill

The sea was azure blue
Sparkling waves kept rising from it.

Colorful swimming rings and inflatable beds float on the sea, and five mermaids swing their arms and swim happily, their fair legs splashing water even more vigorously amidst their joyful laughter.

The clear seawater surged between the full, rounded pebbles.

It's something for people to see.

I wish I could dive right in.

Her graceful waist was partially visible in the water, and her full hips occasionally surfaced above the sea.

Sometimes it sinks into the water.

Although it is already winter, the scene is full of the vibrant colors and fragrance of summer.

Taking a sip of ice-cold beer, Li Luo, who had already changed into beach shorts, leisurely nibbled on a cigar, letting the sea breeze carry the fragrant smoke, enjoying a moment of relaxation amidst his busy schedule.

"Here~"

Leaning against the railing, Huang Baiming gestured with a beer bottle, "That Bobby who's hugging the blue swimming ring."

"The top eight finalists in the Miss Hong Kong pageant have absolutely amazing figures."

"The person next to her is Tian'er."

"Tian'er also participated in the Miss Hong Kong pageant, where she won the title of Tourism Ambassador. She trained in gymnastics for several years and won a gold medal. Her figure is also top-notch."

"These."

"But they are all your admirers."

A Miss Hong Kong contestant, a well-known model, and an actress striving for stardom.

In a few words.

Huang Baiming then introduced all the mermaids below.

We went to Cannes together.

He also knew that Li Luo had been spending almost every day with Hong Tianming during that period, so he was definitely not as innocent as he appeared to be. Therefore, he was very forthcoming when introducing the girl.

In fact.

Huang Baiming is also a playboy.

There's something to do.

Who wouldn't want to play?

They work tirelessly to make money and live a life of luxury and debauchery, rather than becoming virtuous and talented artists. Those kinds of things are just empty promises.

They're all just ordinary people.

Nobody should take it seriously.

"rest assured."

Handing over the beer bottle, Huang Baiming said with a smile, "There won't be any mess with me. They've all signed confidentiality agreements. Just have fun, you don't need to worry about anything."

"The movie's box office performance is so good."

"Well, we all need to celebrate!"

"Thank you."

Li Luo smiled and touched the wine bottle to the other side.

He was no stranger to confidentiality agreements. When he attended Wahlberg's party in Hollywood, all the girls who came to the party had to sign the corresponding agreement and hand over their cell phones.

No information about the party may be disclosed to the public.

Otherwise, they will face corresponding accountability.

With limitations come rewards. The girls' rewards are nothing more than money and resources. They can earn tens or hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars by going on a sea trip, or they can get the opportunity to play a small role.

For many people, this is an irresistible temptation.

Attend this kind of party.

The probability of a major revelation is extremely low.

First, I have already received a satisfactory reward; second, I have no evidence to prove what I said; and finally, if I dare to speak recklessly, I will face corresponding accountability and the wrath of powerful figures.

In the end.

It's all about mutual consent.

"correct!"

After gulping down half a bottle of beer, Huang Baiming excitedly looked at Li Luo: "How's your schedule going? Arrange a time as soon as possible? Let's get on with filming the sequel!"

The movie already left a little hook.

Now that the box office has been a huge success, he sees it as only natural to strike while the iron is hot.

"Playing is playing."

Before Li Luo could speak, Huang Baiming continued speaking rapidly: "We still need to continue our work. We have successfully generated buzz for Ip Man and kung fu movies."

"You don't want someone to steal your fruits halfway through, do you?"

"This kind of subject matter."

"It's very easy for others to follow suit."

"And you should never underestimate the speed at which many filmmakers follow trends. Before our sequel is even released, similar copycat works may already be appearing on the market!"

That's right.

In Li Luo's memory, there were several copycat works based on Ye Wen's subject matter.

It includes both movies and TV series.

Several films have been released, but who knows how many others have been produced but ended up being unsuccessful? Hong Kong filmmakers have always been quick to follow trends.

Back then, zombie movies suddenly appeared.

Hong Kong filmmakers followed suit and filmed it like crazy, until the subject matter was completely ruined.

The "Young and Dangerous" series became a huge hit.

Films on similar themes are emerging one after another.

Hong Kong Island is full of gangsters fighting everywhere, so that real triad bosses can't find any of their underlings to settle scores. When they call, they find that they've all gone to work as extras on movie sets!

Films based on real-life figures are the easiest to copy.

Your name is Ip Man.

I can call it that too.

At worst, we can just add a suffix to the movie title.

Anyway, moviegoers can't tell the difference, so they'll just try to fool as many box office numbers as possible. Compared to opening up a new track, following a successful theme is obviously much less risky.

Under Huang Baiming's expectant gaze.

Li Luo fell into thought.

He certainly wouldn't resist making money by filming sequels; carrying a box office hit kung fu series would help him establish his influence and confirm his status in the martial arts world.

Donnie Yen went from being a relatively unknown action actor to a kung fu superstar.

It all came down to the "Ip Man" film series.

Just the schedule
Just as Ip Man is chasing popularity, so too is Twilight in Hollywood. I received a long-distance call from Emmanuel a few days ago, saying that the sequel had been agreed upon.

The official filming is scheduled for late March.

After finishing filming "Little Big Soldier", I had to fly over to start filming the second part.

Expected filming period.

two months.

Even if I manage to film "Empresses in the Palace" with a tight schedule, it will probably take another two to three months.

"Um"

Li Luo pondered for a moment, then met Huang Baiming's gaze: "How about we set it for early September next year? You take this time to get the script, cast, and other things sorted out, and then I'll start filming."

"Our schedule is completely full!"

"I estimate that I will be filming from the beginning of the year to the end, and I will be so busy that I probably won't be able to stop."

"Sophie's Revenge", "The Founding of a Republic", "Little Big Soldier", "Twilight: New Moon", "Empresses in the Palace", "Ip Man 2" - these films have completely filled the airtime.

This is just a filming job.

In between, they also had to attend numerous award ceremonies, as well as promotional and distribution activities for the film.

After that.

We need to follow up on the situation at the film and television city.

Streaming platforms also need to make corresponding arrangements.

Just think about it.

Li Luo was quite troubled.

The same applies to Xingna Cinemas. Even if Yu Dong takes on all the specific tasks, he can't really be a hands-off manager; he still has to devote some of his energy to that matter.

"no problem!"

Seeing the joy on Huang Baiming's face, he immediately nodded in agreement.

Although it was later than expected.

But there is no way.

Even if it's set for 2010, he still has to follow through. The movie "Ip Man" has been deeply imprinted with Li Luo's personal style. The director and a host of supporting actors can be replaced, but the male lead cannot be replaced.

Although this time is later than expected.

But it's not a big deal.

For him, being able to secure the film deal was a tremendous stroke of luck.

If Li Luo cherishes his reputation and refuses to film a sequel, or if he delays filming for two or three years, then Huang Baiming can only watch helplessly as countless banknotes are blown away by the wind.

"correct."

Li Luo blinked and smiled at the big boss: "I have a request."

"Filming of the sequel."

"Could we film at the Xinghuo Film and Television Base?"

“They’re building a Victoria City there, with architecture and scenery reminiscent of old Hong Kong Island. It’ll definitely meet your filming needs. How about you support my business?”

They want to develop a film and television city.

The most crucial thing is to attract enough film crews, especially those with a particularly high reputation, so as to attract tourists.

Many film studios fail to take off because they are just empty shells!
They're asking what movies or TV shows have been filmed here.

The answer was no.

Or it's a film or television work that you've never even heard of.

The tourists immediately lost interest.

As for how to attract them.

In the early stages, it either relies on money or connections.

Only with a series of influential works appearing on the screen can a location attract production teams of all sizes to inspect it, and only then can it attract tourists to visit and take photos.

This creates a virtuous cycle.

Li Luo had his eye on the filming location for "Ip Man 2" long ago.

Let's get this done ahead of schedule.

"We have no choice but to take care of them!"

Upon hearing this request, Huang Baiming immediately laughed and patted his chest: "What kind of request is this? We're all on the same side. I originally planned to film at the Xinghuo Film and Television Base."

When Li Luo uttered the name "Spark Film and Television Base".

In reality, he had little room to refuse.

Huang Baiming hadn't actually considered the Xinghuo Film and Television Base at all, but that didn't stop him from speaking eloquently.

Anyway, it's all the same whether you take pictures or not.

For him, it was just a favor he was doing.

Why not do it.

As long as Li Luo can continue to star in this movie, Huang Baiming wouldn't even consider it.

"Thank you!"

Li Luo downed his beer in one gulp and threw the bottle into the trash can with a clatter: "Besides, you don't need to worry about anything. No matter how many people follow this trend, from the day our movie is officially released on a large scale..."

"From this day forward!"

Holding onto the railing, he looked at Huang Baiming with a triumphant air: "I am the real 'Ip Man'!!!"

His body soared into the air.

Like a roc spreading its wings, Li Luo stretched out her figure amidst the blue sea, blue sky, white clouds, and sunshine.

Amidst the cheers and screams of the girls.

He splashed water several meters high, then darted through the sea like a torpedo, swiftly passing by pairs of fair thighs, eliciting joyful screams from all sides.

Keep waving your arms.

Girls wearing bikinis scattered and wandered away.

Their excited shouts echoed in the scenic bay on the sea breeze.

But Huang Baiming heard it.

What echoed was Li Luo's confident, even arrogant, words from earlier. He had come into contact with many superstars, every actor who had achieved a high position during the golden age of Hong Kong films.

Those stars who shone brightly for an era.

He has been in contact with almost all of them.

Those once-glorious Hong Kong stars at their peak possessed a strong sense of self-confidence similar to Li Luo's, a powerful aura that allowed them to stand proudly regardless of external circumstances.

He gulped down the beer.

Huang Baiming's eyes were practically sparkling.

Working with someone like that, what does a sequel matter?

Film series.

It's not impossible either.

Seeing the sensual scene of a group of beauties playing in the water, Huang Baiming was so aroused that he suddenly became young again. He threw away his beer bottle and jumped off the yacht with a cheer.

Laughing loudly, they joined the chaotic and sensual water fight on the sea.

The water fight just started quickly.

It ended quickly.

Huang Baiming was no longer a young man, and he didn't want to waste his energy here. In order to avoid making Li Luo feel embarrassed, and also to let the other party have more fun today.

Boss Huang snapped his fingers and beckoned two girls to climb onto the stern deck.

Hold onto her pert buttocks.

They rushed straight to the bottom of the cabin, with one on each side.

As for Li Luo, he wouldn't be polite at all. No, that's not right.

Girls won't be polite to him at all.

Wet, messy feet made their way through the narrow passageway, avoiding the room with the door closed, before cheering and rushing into the room at the far end.

Amidst the chaos.

Li Luo was pushed onto the soft, large bed.

No way!!!

He quickly backed away, clutching his chest in terror: "What do you want to do? Are you trying to assault me? No, please don't do that!!!"

Such a reaction.

The girls almost burst out laughing.

But they didn't laugh out loud; instead, they were so excited by Li Luo's appearance that they swallowed their saliva.

Above the abdominal muscles.

It was covered with drops of seawater.

That handsome face, and that terrified expression.

at last.
They stared blankly at the wet, clinging beach shorts, their eyes widened, their legs went weak, and they cheered as they leaped towards them.

Li Luo tried to struggle.

Unfortunately, this time the opponent was too muscular.

Red, black, and blue.

Various colorful bikinis fluttered in the air, their full curves making him feel conflicted.

Take a deep breath.

He used the Wing Chun wooden dummy technique.

In a confined space, one must do one's best to cope with sudden, swaying attacks, twisting, flicking, pushing, pressing, and spinning in the shortest possible time, and constantly defending and counterattacking with utmost concentration.

But this time, the opponent is far too formidable.

Close-quarters combat skills.

It can be described as unparalleled.

Her long, slender, pink legs were quite striking.

Before Li Luo could react, Bobby quickly wrapped his legs around him, and then Tian'er stretched out her hands like lightning, removing his last layer of defense in the blink of an eye.

"Sigh~~~"

In the cramped yacht cabins, gasps of cold air rose and fell.

Master Li!
It truly lives up to its reputation.

After their initial shock, instead of showing fear, they fought even more fiercely forward.

Scramble.

I want to try Master Li's real skills.

Tian'er seized the initiative.

She unleashed a fierce attack, crushing the crab with a boulder, but she clearly overestimated her strength and underestimated the power of the wooden dummy. Under the expectant gazes of her two helpers, she instantly froze.

Chin up.

An unconscious gurgling sound came from his throat.

this moment.

It felt as if my soul had been shattered in two.

Startled by this reaction, Bourbon and Joyce shrank back, then lunged forward even more fiercely.

The yacht rose and fell with the waves.

Birds circled overhead.

The clear chirping sound carried far away on the sea breeze.

Unlike the melodious calls, inside the thick portholes, the wooden dummy was being struck with a sharp, rapid sound.

Is Ip Man actually capable of fighting?

To be honest, Huang Baiming really didn't know.

But now he was 100% certain that Master Li was absolutely a super fighter. Facing the two models' resentful eyes, he cursed Li Luo in his heart and then helplessly spread his hands.

His assistant, as was his custom, sat at the very top of the yacht.

He smoked silently.

Watching the clouds drift and gather before my eyes.

Victoria Harbour at night.

The lights were on.

Sitting in a Michelin-starred restaurant with a direct view of the bay, Li Luo picked up a knife and fork and cut the Wellington steak, elegantly bringing the tender and juicy beef to his mouth.

This gesture made Mandy Sheh's eyes sparkle.

It has nothing to do with the action.

The main thing is that this guy can sit in a street food stall and wolf down his stir-fried beef noodles while chugging beer.

In a fine restaurant, one can gently swirl a crystal glass.

Slowly sip the deep red wine.

do not know either.

Which posture truly reflects the other person's most authentic self?

"cough~"

Hong Tianming forcefully cut off a piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it heartily. He complained with great dissatisfaction, "Ah She, can you tone it down a bit? Look at the way you're looking at Li Luo, you practically want to eat him alive!"

"Shut up!"

She rolled her eyes at him and continued to playfully scratch Li Luo's calf with the tip of her high heels.

She rolled her eyes even more as she went back.

Hong Tianming continued cutting the steak, frustratedly continuing to act as a cover.

However, thinking that he could use this as an excuse to extort another nightclub treat from Li Luo next time, Hong Jiahao's eldest son couldn't help but chuckle to himself and ate his Michelin-starred meal with even greater gusto.

Had dinner.

The three arrived at a nightclub in Central.

Hosted by Huang Baiming, the main creators of the "Ip Man" film crew celebrated their moment.

Cheers erupted.

The wine glasses clinked together crisply.

As the strong aroma of alcohol dissipated, everyone cheered and downed their cocktails in one gulp.

In the film industry, it's extremely rare to see champagne popped at the halfway point. The box office either fails to take off immediately or only gets a day or two of success before plummeting.

As long as we can maintain stability for the first few days.

Even if it declines afterward.

That's a normal box office trend.

So now, they can celebrate their victory to their heart's content.

Amidst the constant clinking of glasses.

Lynn Hung smiled, her lips red and teeth white.

For a newcomer like her, achieving such success in her first official film role is nothing short of a dream, enough to support her transition from model to actress, rather than watching helplessly as newcomers keep emerging and overshadowing her.

Besides being happy.

She also felt extremely depressed.

It's one thing if Guo Fucheng doesn't want to attend tomorrow's premiere, but it's not a public occasion, and he'd rather play mahjong than come and help save face.

Although there was a prior agreement.

She has also gotten used to this way of getting along, where the other person takes the lead.

But in my heart.

But there was always a lingering unease.

After gulping down a large mouthful of cocktail, Lynn Hung couldn't help but glance at the guy sitting diagonally across from her.

Li Luo was sitting casually in the middle of the private room, playing a drinking game with Huang Baiming, Hong Jinbao, Ren Dahua, and Ye Weixin. They were having a great time.

While drinking alcohol.

She would occasionally whisper a few words to She Shiman, who was sitting next to her.

This made the other person cover their mouth and laugh.

Although Charmaine Sheh came in with Hung Tin-ming, those who were paying attention could still see some clues.

Lynn Hung suddenly felt a pang of jealousy.

Not jealous.

Actually, she had been looking for an opportunity to talk things out with Brother Luo these past few days, and that it would be better to just pretend that some things never happened.

In that environment.

It's understandable that you can't control yourself.

They can be busy with publicity.

I couldn't find an opportunity to talk to them.

But seeing how happy Charmaine Sheh was, Lynn Hung felt extremely uncomfortable. She had never received such treatment even at private gatherings with friends like Guo Fucheng.

He pursed his lips.

Lynn Hung quickly grabbed a glass of foreign liquor and gulped it down her throat.

But at this time.

The events of last time kept replaying in my mind uncontrollably.

Of course, nothing could really happen in just a few minutes, but even a kiss was enough to make her flustered. At that moment, her buttocks were also slightly sore, as if they were being relentlessly...
Not to mention.
After gulping down the last mouthful of wine, Xiong Dailin couldn't help but suddenly shiver.

His lower abdomen trembled.

That rascal!
That was absolutely terrifying!!!
No wonder he likes to go out with Hung Tin-ming; it seems he also has something to do with Charmaine Sheh. Martial arts practitioners certainly have extraordinary energy; who knows how many other women he might have on the side.
Xiong Dailin's eyes widened suddenly as she thought of two beautiful girls she hadn't seen in a long time.

They used to follow me around all the time.

Lynn, Lynn.

Various shouts.

She felt a little uneasy after her two fellow disciples suddenly disappeared. If she remembered correctly, Sister Kim had said that the two of them had a bright future and had gotten involved with a big shot from mainland China.

Just wait until you become famous.

Staring blankly at Li Luo, Xiong Dailin felt as if she had realized something.

This guy.

How bad!

Meeting Li Luo's puzzled gaze, Xiong Dailin quickly lowered her head, her face slightly flushed, and picked up another glass of wine, gulping it down her parched throat.

only.

Why do I feel even thirstier the more I drink?!

The neon lights were dazzling.

Amidst bursts of laughter, Lynn Hung, the leading actress, received a constant stream of toasts.

In this situation, it's certainly impossible to add water.

They're all from the same film crew!
We cannot shirk our responsibility.

In addition, her mood was extremely volatile, after all, what had happened in the past few days was something she had never experienced before, that extreme anxiety, that thrill of being sent to the arena.

A few minutes of extremely ambiguous interaction with Luo Ge.

The ecstatic joy upon learning that the box office had grossed over 18 million, and the excited congratulations from family members on the phone.

When fans are enthusiastically following them.

That screaming, that excited shoving.

Everything made her feel like she was in a dream these past few days. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night. Now, all these emotions were turned into glasses of colorful cocktails that she drank down.

Despite having a good alcohol tolerance.

When the party ended in the early hours of the morning, she was still blushing.

"Everyone, please be careful."

Upon arriving at the underground parking lot, Huang Baiming gestured for Xiong Dailin to get into the van parked in front of them: "Allen, drive slowly, make sure you get them safely to their destination!"

Tell your assistant a few words.

Huang Baiming slammed the car door shut.

"Ok?"

Looking at the guy sitting in the car, Xiong Dailin's already tipsy head became even more dizzy.

"sit down!"

Li Luo gestured to the seat next to him.

Even if it's a big boss.

It's impossible for Huang Baiming to mobilize ten or eight nanny vans. At this point, it's perfectly normal for everyone to pool their resources. Let's send Xiong Dailin back first, and then we can go find She Shiman later.

As for
Looking at the other person's flushed face.

Li Luo happily crossed his legs and leaned back comfortably in his seat.

We played for most of the day.

He has no temper at all now.

Just kidding.

Just relax a little more.

That's what makes things more interesting.

"Good good."

Xiong Dailin nodded hesitantly, then hurriedly sat down next to Li Luo. Getting out of the car was out of the question; although she had been muttering about what had happened earlier, the true feelings she had inside were...
Huang Baiming's assistant shifted gears and released the brake, and the vehicle slowly moved forward.

I glanced at the rearview mirror.

The assistant glanced at the female lead, whose face was flushed from drinking, and the male lead, who was engrossed in his phone, and couldn't help but marvel.

Luo Ge!

That's absolutely awesome!!!
