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

Chapter 590 Continuous Spin

A round of applause erupted.

The arrival of Zeng Xiaoxian and Lu Zhanbo prompted Hu Yifei, Chen Meijia, Lin Wanyu, and others to not only clap excitedly but also cheer enthusiastically.

The steps stopped.

Zeng Xiaoxian and his companion stood steadily on the small stage in front of the wine cabinet.

He bowed deeply to the audience in the bar.

The moment I stood up.

Seeing Zeng Xiaoxian's gorilla-like face in an instant, Zhao Xuejing almost spat out the cherries in her mouth. After a slight adjustment, Lu Zhanbo quickly adopted an idiotic expression as well.

The stagehand pressed the radio, and a very strange background music blared throughout the bar.

next moment.

Zhao Xuejing sprayed out cherries completely.

Standing on the small stage, Zeng Xiaoxian and Lu Zhanbo began their extremely frenzied performance to the music, their grinning faces making all the actors burst into laughter, leaving Liu Wan dumbfounded.

Having followed Brother Luo to so many film sets, I've never seen such a crazy performance.

Very weird.

Yet it made her want to chuckle.

Li Luo watched the performance in front of the camera with a smile, recalling the content of this episode in his mind. If he remembered correctly, it should be the episode about Optimus Prime's death.

Plagiarism, imitation, and borrowing.

There are many more.

Film, music, and so on are all the same thing.

Even the communication tools, social networking sites, and even portal websites we use every day are mostly the result of localization from foreign countries.

The word "Shanzhai" (山寨) is used to describe a counterfeit or knock-off product.

It's no longer a derogatory term.

The success of this drama is due to its merits.

The actors' performances looked very green, but the pacing was impeccable, especially Chen He's cheeky and sassy demeanor, which honestly is something very few people could pull off.

In fact, he felt that half the credit for the great success of the show "iPartment" should go to Chen Chichi.

I can tell.

Jin Shijia has done his best.

But his performance still made Chen Chichi instantly blow him away.

Press the accelerator to the bottom.

The kind where you can't keep up with the pace.

After another round of extremely exaggerated physical performances, the small theater performance by Zeng Xiaoxian and Lu Zhanbo came to an end amidst loud laughter, cheers, and applause from all the staff.

Li Luo clapped his hands with a smile, expressing his appreciation for the performance.

Next, the cast members took turns performing.

Each has its own performance.

The director could obviously see what they were thinking, and he didn't mind giving these young people more opportunities to perform.

Everyone knows.

Li Luo came here because of Sun Yizhou.

Normally, the chances of these people even meeting Li Luo would be extremely slim. After the drama they were working on was finished, Wei Zheng and Wang Yuan had no idea where their next meal would come from.

They all saw the hard work these young actors put in.

Now let's show these youngsters what we're made of.

If even one person catches Luo Ge's eye, then the two or three months of working together won't have been in vain.

Unfortunately.

Luo Ge showed no interest whatsoever.

Even apart from Zeng Xiaoxian's initial theater performance, he showed no emotional fluctuations, only maintaining a faint smile, and gently applauding after the actors finished performing.

In that case, the actors were fine.

I feel very sorry.

However, they are also very clear that some opportunities are extremely slim.

This made Wang Yuan and Wei Zheng extremely uneasy. Everyone knew that Brother Luo had a good eye and his ability to choose roles was unparalleled. It was understandable that they had hoped that Brother Luo could help them assess the quality of the roles.

That is impossible.

They wouldn't dare ask directly.

So the two of them could only take turns secretly observing Li Luo's expression, but they couldn't find anything on his face, not even appreciation, indifference, or impatience.

Only a faint smile, like a mask, reveals nothing.

Look at each other.

Wang Yuan and Wei Zheng shrugged in unison.

Given the level of the other party's current situation, how could I possibly see through them so easily?

To show respect.

After the actors finished their performance.

After admiring the group of beautiful young women, Li Luo shook hands with each of the actresses and, out of politeness, gave the producer a business card from the company before smiling and saying goodbye.

Of course, he didn't forget to call Sun Yizhou over.

They inquired about the other person's recent situation.

After finishing all that, Li Luo walked out of the photography studio with his two assistants.

Although he was interested in the girls from "iPartment," he never imagined that he could make them undress with a mere thud. Just looking at them was enough for him!
Board the business vehicle.

Li Luo made another phone call.

He waved the horn to signal the driver to head towards the film crew's hotel.

As soon as the van turned the corner, it saw a girl in a green coat walking on the side of the road ahead. She was carrying a large backpack, and her tied-up hair was fluttering in the cold wind of Shanghai.

It gives people a feeling of youthful energy, but also carries a bit of the listlessness of a working person.

As you walk.

My legs are visibly tired.

"Slower."

Signaling the driver to slow down, Li Luo smiled and rolled down the window: "Miss, do you need a ride?"

A sudden sound.

Startled, Li Jinming hurriedly took two steps back.

But when she saw the face sitting inside the van, her eyes widened instantly:
"Brother Luo Luo?"

"Get in the car?"

Li Luo waved to signal.

"No no no."

Li Jinming hurriedly waved his hand and stammered, pointing ahead: "I'll be at the bus stop in another minute or two, thank you, Brother Xie Luo."

Subconsciously.

She then had the thought of refusing.

Nothing.

For small-time actresses like them, the pressure emanating from Li Luo was immense.

This is a force to be reckoned with during the summer and National Day holidays, and even in the fiercely competitive Lunar New Year season, it can hold its own against a host of veteran directors. The gap between them is so large that they can't even come close.

Although this is an opportunity that others would kill for.

But it's with her.

The feeling of being frightened was greater than the feeling of being surprised.

"Get in the car!"

Li Luo signaled the driver to stop the car, smiled and nodded to the girl, saying, "It won't cause any delays. You don't want to sit on the bus for ages to get home in this cold weather, do you?"

"Thank you, Brother Luo."

Li Jinming hesitated slightly, but ultimately bowed and thanked him.

Open the car door.

She quickly crawled inside.

The warm air conditioning made the girl breathe a sigh of relief, and she quickly thanked the people in the car again. The weather was freezing cold, and she felt chilled to the bone after walking only a short distance.

Yes, you can take a car.

It's definitely more comfortable than squeezing onto a bus.

However, when the driver asked where he was going, Li Jinming hesitated and stopped himself from saying the words he was about to say.

Press the accelerator.

The vehicle continued moving forward.

At this moment, Li Jinming's attention was drawn to the car's decorations. She had never ridden in such a luxurious vehicle before. She was stunned when she got in, never expecting to be sitting opposite each other.

Comfortable leather seats and extremely smooth shock absorption.

Compared to a bus.

It's almost like being in heaven.

The man sitting opposite her made her heart race even faster.

His hair was perfectly styled.

The black wool coat has a very high-quality feel.

The gleaming leather shoes were of an indistinguishable brand, the trousers were ironed to almost no wrinkles, and the wristwatch hidden in the sleeve shone with a glint of golden luxury.

And these.

It's just a foil.

Looking at Luo Ge's handsome profile, Li Jinming's breathing became even more disordered.

She's now considered a semi-insider in the entertainment industry.

Therefore, I often care about the situation of those big names in the industry. There are many handsome male celebrities, but there are very few like Brother Luo who are extremely handsome and pay great attention to their image when appearing in public.

Photos that appear in newspapers and on websites.

Unless it's on a film set or on a very hot day, the other person always pays great attention to their demeanor.

In her opinion.

Luo Ge has the air of an old-school star.

"Ok?"

Picking up the folder casually, Li Luo smiled at the sweet-looking girl and asked, "Why did you wear your costume back with you?"

The clothes the other person was wearing.

It was exactly the same routine they used on set just now.

The black and white checkered scarf around her neck gives her a rather playful look.

"No."

Li Jinming quickly shook his head, nervously tugging at his scarf: "These aren't from the film crew; I bought them myself."

"what?"

Li Luo blinked.

"cough~"

Li Jinming coughed lightly, looking slightly embarrassed, and said, "The production team has limited funds, and the costume department only provided a small number of clothes. We usually buy the clothes we wear for filming ourselves."

How can it not be embarrassing!
Compared to Brother Luo's entourage, his own film crew was practically a makeshift operation.

When I went to film "My Sunshine" before.

Li Jinming swore an oath.

That was the most luxurious film crew I had ever seen.

All equipment is state-of-the-art, and the actors' costumes and makeup are handled by dedicated staff. While waiting, there is plenty of coffee, fruit, Sprite, and other beverages available for staff to use freely.

Go to the film set to shoot a movie.

It's almost like going on vacation.

Li Luo chuckled, then nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Even if each costume costs 200 yuan, ten costumes would cost 2,000 yuan. Now, a boxed lunch costs 5 yuan, so the money saved can buy 400 boxed lunches, enough for the crew to eat for two or three days!

His producer mindset allowed him to instantly understand this approach.

The production crew was short of money.

We can only cut costs from every angle.

Li Luo smiled and nodded at Ms. Chen Meijia, then looked down at the documents in his hand.

They would occasionally exchange a few words of laughter.

To avoid making the passengers who were hitchhiking feel awkward, Zhao Xuejing also joined the conversation with a smile, asking about the filming of "iPartment" in a soft voice.

Cheer up.

Li Jinming answered in succession.

She was also deeply impressed by Luo Ge, her assistant.

When I watched "If You Are the One" a while ago, the moment the female secretary appeared, she was reminded of Zhao Xuejing. Although her figure wasn't as exaggerated, her temperament was far superior.

More innocent and dignified.

Even though Li Jinming herself is a girl, she is still pleasing to the eye.

Chat room.

The vehicle slowly came to a stop.

After thanking him repeatedly, Li Jinming carefully closed the car door and waved as the van drove away.

Lower your arm.

He stared blankly at the endless flow of traffic.

In less than ten minutes.

It feels like a dream.

Luxurious and comfortable business vehicles, charming female assistants, handsome and dashing directors, stars, and producers—all of this seems to vanish like a dream.

He exhaled white mist.

The girl tightened her coat and walked towards the bus stop not far away.

The surrounding area is full of mid- to high-end apartments, which are far beyond her means. However, Li Jinming did not want Brother Luo to see her real living environment, which had nothing to do with vanity.

The idea is extremely simple
She just didn't want others to see her embarrassed side.

Chedun Film and Television Base.

The van stopped in the covered walkway of the designated hotel at the film and television base.

Carrying their bags, Li Luo and his two companions quickly entered the hotel lobby.

Upon arriving at the film crew's registration desk, you register your personal information, receive your room key, access pass, and other necessary items, then head straight to the elevator to your floor. Don't even think about getting a business suite or anything like that.

Having a double room is already considered pretty good.

It wasn't that the production team didn't have the money to buy him an apartment; it was just that there were too many big names in this film.

Only standardized specifications are acceptable.

Otherwise, if all these people were to get into a fight, even Han Sanping wouldn't be able to handle it.

The head of China Film Group certainly wields great power, but sometimes he has to follow the rules of the underworld and can't just act recklessly. He has to be convincing to the people.

The only special privilege Li Luo could enjoy was that the production team would schedule his appearances based on his available time.

no way.

He has a lot of screen time.

Unlike others who can just come and film for a day or two and that's it, flying back and forth like this, filming a scene every now and then, is too exhausting. If it were someone else, they could tolerate the hassle.

But Han Sanping was too embarrassed to do *that* kind of thing to Li Luo.

No matter what.

We've collaborated so many times.

China Film Group has indeed made a lot of money off Li Luo, so they will definitely provide some preferential treatment to their own people.

The three of them worked together.

Quickly sort and arrange the luggage.

The filming in Shanghai will likely take two to three days, after which the location will be moved to Nanjing. Once the scenes there are finished, the crew will fly to Yunnan Province to continue filming "Little Big Soldier". Therefore, there is no need to make it seem like they are staying for an extended period.

“Alo”.

Just as I was packing my things, there was a knock on the door.

Turn around.

A huge bald head came into view.

"Uncle Zhang!"

Li Luo laughed heartily and gave Zhang Guoli a firm hug.

"Let's go."

The latter grabbed his shoulder and led him outside, shaking his head repeatedly, saying, "I've been waiting for you to come. Just have your assistant pack your things. Hurry up and go try on your costume. Your scenes will be filmed tomorrow."

In this film, Zhang Guoli's role is not simply that of Jiang Guangtou.

He is also a producer.

In addition, he also took on some of the work of an executive director.

Li Luo smiled and strode towards the film crew's dressing room at the other party's invitation.

Put down what you're holding.

Zhao Xuejing hurriedly grabbed her backpack and chased after her.

It's impossible to do makeup tests without an assistant. At the very least, someone needs to watch over the actors' clothes and personal belongings, otherwise the actors will be in a complete mess.

We haven't even gotten close to the dressing room yet.

Then you could hear bursts of loud laughter coming from the front.

He turned his foot.

Hey.

Li Luo couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ever since playing the leader of the Crocodile Gang, Feng Xiaogang has really become addicted to playing old hooligans. With his black mandarin jacket, bowler hat, walking stick, and small round sunglasses, he is the spitting image of an old Shanghai hooligan.

The huge success of "If You Are the One" put Director Feng in a very good mood.

Amidst the flattery of the people inside the room.

He laughed so hard his teeth were showing.

"Hey!"

As his gaze shifted, Feng Xiaogang deftly removed his sunglasses: "Young Master Jiang, do you think my outfit is appropriate?"

The voice fell.

These fiery streaks pierced Li Luo's body like lightning.

Director Feng is extremely popular.

Boss Li is no less capable.

Even more popular is Boss Li. While Feng Xiaogang is certainly good at promoting people, he is already quite diligent by making only one film a year.

And Li Luo.

He can easily make two or three films a year.

In addition to the dramas he starred in, last year alone he brought Huang Shengyi and Fan Bingbing to the forefront, and all the main characters such as Gao Yuanyuan, Yang Mi, and Liu Shishi were brought to the table by him.

From this aspect.

Its influence even surpasses that of the seasoned veteran Feng Xiaogang.

"In place."

Li Luo gave a thumbs up and praised with a smile, "At least this charm deserves a score of ninety!"

"Hey."

With a sharp shove of his cane, Feng Xiaogang's eyes narrowed: "If I heard correctly, you're indirectly calling me an old scoundrel?"

Under the tense gaze of everyone inside the room.

Li Luo walked forward slowly.

He stood squarely opposite Feng Xiaogang, meeting the man's cold gaze:

"Any questions?"

Their eyes met.

Feng Xiaogang barely managed to resist the urge to take a half-step back.

Even though he was a seasoned veteran, he still felt inexplicably intimidated. He truly was a man who had seen blood, much like those old tyrants who roamed Beijing in the past.

But there are differences.

Those tough guys can be ruthless sometimes, but they rarely have the kind of ferocity that Li Luo possesses.

"Uh"

Tong Dawei licked his lips and quietly took a step back to hide in the crowd.

At this point, whoever likes to smooth things over can do so.

I'm not going to join in the fun anyway.

The next moment.

Under the extremely tense gaze of most people, Feng Xiaogang and Li Luo burst into laughter at the same time.

"Good good."

Feng Xiaogang tapped his walking stick repeatedly and said excitedly, "Just follow this rhythm tomorrow, and I don't think there will be any problem. No matter how powerful Du Yuesheng is, Young Master Jiang won't be afraid of him."

"Du Yuesheng had no other choice but to bring up the Kong family to divert attention from the conflict."

"This move."

“Just lift Young Master Jiang up.”

"The tiger-hunting operation failed because it ultimately backfired. The knife couldn't be swung in the end, but Young Master Jiang still needs to maintain his initial momentum."

"If not."

"This performance just doesn't feel right!"

When Feng Xiaogang learned that Li Luo would be acting opposite him, he was incredibly anxious.

The best thing about acting is that no matter how you act, your co-star can handle it, and he's sure that Li Luo won't be intimidated by him at all, especially after this test.

Although I was surprised.

But I felt incredibly happy inside.

Most of the people around finally realized what was happening, and they all forced a smile, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

You guys had a lot of fun, but you scared everyone quite a bit.

According to Zhang Guoli's introduction.

Li Luo quickly familiarized himself with the staff present and the actors he would be acting opposite, including Tong Dawei, who played the role of the eldest son of the Kong family in the movie. This guy became very popular through hard work.

Given his temperament, he is perfectly suited to play the role of a spoiled brat.

Wear a wig.

He styled his hair in a very vintage, slicked-back style.

Then put on the custom-made Zhongshan suit prepared by the production crew.

When Li Luo walked out of the dressing room with an air of nonchalance, Han Sanping, who had just entered the dressing room, was completely dumbfounded.

With his handsome looks, he's even more convincing as a young man playing another character.

The rest.

I couldn't help but admire it.

The presentation is excellent.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't resemble Jiang Jingguo at all.

When there is a significant difference between the actor and the original character, the ability to successfully convince the audience that the actor is that character is extremely challenging and tests the actor's skills.

As for Li Luo's skill...
The group exchanged glances and quickly got to their own tasks.

Let's move to the photography studio.

Li Luo snapped one promotional photo after another.

Once all of this is finished...

After having his first meal with a group of bigwigs on set, Li Luo quietly disappeared from the hotel where the crew was staying and went to a five-star executive suite on the banks of the Huangpu River to pick up Liu Shishi high in his arms.

The two pressed themselves against the thick glass curtain wall.

She let the dazzling neon lights of Shanghai completely illuminate her almost perfect body.

The camera slowly pans forward.

The entire group of people in the corner were included in the frame.

The rhythmic sound became clearer as the camera zoomed in.

"The nation is in peril."

"Who is harming the interests of the country in this matter?"

Long, slender fingers slammed heavily on the table, and the resounding words continued: "Whoever does that is a traitor! Whoever does that is an enemy of our Party and our country!!!"

“The capital has come.”

The man in the Zhongshan suit in the video has a resolute face and looks intently at the group of reporters sitting in front of him: "I'm here to convey a message to all sectors of society: this trip is only to crack down on high-ranking officials, not low-level ones!"

The words fell.

The entire film set was completely silent.

Two or three seconds passed before Han Sanping finally shouted to protect Yitiao.

"thanks, thanks."

Smiling and thanking the staff for their applause, Li Luo quickly got up from the sofa, walked past the group of extras, and strode towards the monitor.

"The eye contact was spot on."

Feng Xiaogang rested his chin on his hand.

"really."

Han Sanping took off his headphones and played back the clip he had just filmed: "A Luo's acting skills are pretty strong! It makes you want to keep listening, and he captures the subtle emotions very well."

"It has a very strong sense of rhythm."

Chen Kaige nodded slowly in agreement.

"Tsk."

Wrapped in his military overcoat, Zhang Guoli rubbed his bald head and said, "You guys haven't seen what Li Luo looked like when he filmed 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.' Compared to now, he's like a completely different person."

"Uh"

Li Luo hesitated and stopped, looking wary. "I'll be eating boxed lunches on set at noon. Don't expect me to take advantage of you with a few nice words."

The directors stared at each other blankly.

A burst of laughter echoed throughout the entire filming location.

Behind the monitor.

They were also a very beautiful sight in the "The Founding of a Republic" crew.

Since Chen Kaige rushed over in the morning, three or four well-known domestic directors squeezed behind the small monitor. Before filming started, they talked over and over again, making Li Luo's head feel like it was going to explode.

He simply rolled up his sleeves.

They snatched the script and offered their own opinions.

On directing.

We're no worse than anyone else.

The famous scene where an actor snatched the script and explained the scene to a group of well-known directors was captured on camera by the on-set photographer, who chuckled as he filmed it.

Here's another piece of material.

Feng Xiaogang makes a powerful entrance as Du Daheng.

However, despite his repeated attempts to boost his morale, he was still no match for professional actors, especially when Li Luo lived up to his reputation, causing Feng Xiaogang to make repeated mistakes in his lines.

Especially when shooting close-ups.

The stagehands could only quickly add a small stool for Feng Xiaogang, otherwise, given the height difference, his presence would be even more overwhelmed!

Scene changes.

When acting opposite Tong Dawei, Li Luo showed off a one-handed gun-checking technique he learned from Wahlberg. When he slammed the gun on the table with a loud bang, the guy was so shocked that he didn't know what to act next.

Turn to Jinling.

Li Luo and Zhang Guoli strolled along the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Music Terrace, suffering from the cold wind and scattering pigeons.

Heading to Jinling University.

In front of the Peking University building, the two sat on the steps and had a long talk.

Li Luo accurately grasped the characteristics of the characters and presented them precisely according to the director's requirements. He never stood out when he was supposed to stand quietly behind Zhang Guoli, and he showed a fierce look in his eyes when he sealed off Yangzi Company.

They all performed flawlessly.

With his outstanding performance, Han Sanping thoroughly enjoyed filming.

With an incredibly smooth performance, she completed filming all her scenes in "The Founding of a Republic" two days ahead of schedule.

Saying goodbye to all the big shots.

He excitedly boarded the plane and headed straight southwest.

Continuing his non-stop work this year, he was greeted there by the world-renowned Jackie Chan.
