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

Chapter 594 Bingzhai
"good afternoon everyone."

"Welcome to the press conference for 'Little Big Soldier'."

"Next, let's give a round of applause to Mr. Yu Dong, President of Berna, one of the co-producers of 'Little Big Soldier,' who will give a speech. Please welcome him with applause!"

After the host finished his opening remarks.

Smile and clap your hands to invite the production company representative to the stage to speak.

Yu Dong straightened his suit, strode onto the stage amidst enthusiastic applause, and took the microphone.

Except him.

Other representatives from the production companies also spoke in succession.

For example, a subsidiary of the movie channel also invested in this movie. No matter how much they invested, as long as they participated in the investment, they would get the opportunity to appear in the film.

This process.

Reporters have become accustomed to it.

If it weren't for the leader speaking for a few minutes at this time, people would honestly feel a bit unaccustomed to it.

That concludes the speech.

At the host's invitation, the members of the new Seven Little Fortunes quickly took to the stage to perform the theme song of the movie of the same name in the form of song and dance, which quickly made the atmosphere of the press conference lively.

The song and dance performance ended.

The host began by interviewing the members of the new Seven Little Fortunes.

They asked them what roles they played in the film, and what it was like to work with Hendrik Willem Van Loon for the first time.

Polite applause rang out continuously from the audience.

Nobody came here to see the new Seven Little Fortunes, but it's obvious that the eldest brother is promoting them.

More or less.

We still need to give them some face.

Moreover, if the interviews with the new Seven Little Fortunes are not completed, the other main cast members will not be able to appear on stage. With more than a dozen people standing on the stage, even if the host has three heads and six arms, he cannot interview them all.

Listening to the sounds from the stage.

Standing to the side of the stage, Li Luo had one hand in his pocket and looked to the side with a smile.

Hendrik Willem Van Loon was looking at the stage with a big smile on his face.

They clapped along from time to time.

Everyone says they don't praise it.

In fact, he really cares about the new Seven Little Fortunes.

When the crew finished work and rested at night, Li Luo saw the other party knock on the doors of the new Seven Little Fortunes members more than once, urging them to go to bed early, otherwise they would not have the energy to film the next day.

If you don't take it to heart.

Hendrik Willem Van Loon would never do such a thing in private.

It's not just about coaxing someone into playing the lead role and constantly feeding them one role after another to make them successful.

They are labeled as disciples of Hendrik Willem Van Loon.

Then, I followed the bigwigs to various promotional events.

This starting point and level of exposure are enough to make countless newcomers green with envy. From this perspective, it can be said that a lot of effort has been put into promoting these new Seven Little Fortunes members.

Even if it's an artist under Li Luo's management, he might not be willing to keep them by his side every day.

Unfortunately, the action movie market is declining.

It will be difficult for action stars to make a name for themselves again.

Let alone those who lack in appearance and temperament, even someone as skilled as Zhang Jin, who has advantages in appearance and aura, would still find it difficult to carry a leading role.

There's actually an actor like that around me right now.

"Luo Ge."

Noticing Li Luo's gaze sweep over, Wu Yue immediately put on a smile: "How did you get that physique? You look really handsome in a suit!"

In the drama "The Legend of Xue Rengui".

We've collaborated before.

To be honest, Wu Yue was still somewhat unconvinced at the time.

But now, he's more than just dissatisfied. When he saw Li Luo on set, he was actually quite scared. So much so that he didn't dare to kick Li Luo during the scene, showing a timid and hesitant attitude.

It has nothing to do with box office performance or one's status in the industry.

The main reason was that he had personally witnessed Li Luo, like a madman, sever half of his arm in the parking lot.

The blood mist that filled the sky.

Wu Yue was so frightened that she barely slept for half a month.

From then on, he faced off against Li Luo.

There's always a bit of apprehension in my heart.

"Thank you."

Li Luo waved his hand cheerfully, indicating that it was not worth taking to heart at all: "It's just a matter of eating well and exercising more."

The tough young man in front of me.

They have a very good working relationship with Bernard.

Therefore, Wu Yue played a leader of refugees in "Little Big Soldier", and despite having only a small role, she managed to get the opportunity to attend promotional events with the main cast and crew.

Smiling and nodding.

Li Luo focused his attention on the stage.

Such behavior forced Wu Yue to suppress his urge to strike up a conversation or recommend himself. He was perfectly willing to play a supporting role to Brother Luo, for example, if he could get a role in the sequel to "Ip Man".
Think of this.

Wu Yue's gaze became even more intense.

But now was clearly not the time to recommend himself, so he could only smile awkwardly and take a half-step back.

"Thank you to our new Seven Little Fortunes members."

The host's voice rose to a high pitch, echoing throughout the press conference: "I know everyone has been waiting for this for a long time. Now, please welcome the main creators of our 'Little Big Soldier' ​​production team to the stage."

"Wu Yue, a well-known action actor!"

"Xu Dongmei is also a member of the New Seven Little Fortunes."

"Korean star, Yoo Seung-jun."

"Director, Ding Sheng."

"The beautiful songstress, Lin Peng."

"Young general, Li Luo."

"And our soldier, Hendrik Willem Van Loon!!!"

Amid cheers from the host.

The members of the creative team excitedly ran onto the stage after giving each other high-fives.

Unlike the star-studded casts in Hendrik Willem Van Loon's previous films, this time, apart from Wu Yue, there were almost no familiar faces in the industry, resulting in a somewhat sparse presence of spotlights.

But then Li Luo cheered.

A burst of light erupted like a wave, causing the two actresses who had just stepped onto the stage to squint in a panic to alleviate the discomfort caused by the frantic flashing.

"I rely on!"

"How is this going?"

"This size."

When Li Luo appeared on the stage, the reporters' eyes widened instantly.

Amidst various exclamations.

He pressed the shutter button even faster.

Li Luo, who steadily appeared on stage, could only be described as a suit-wearing thug. His muscles made the suit look exceptionally straight, and he was over 1.8 meters tall.

The impact was even greater.

As he walked past Wu Yue, the tough young man known for his action scenes suddenly appeared gaunt and thin in comparison.

Needless to say, everyone else's attention was instantly drawn away by Li Luo.

His physique at this time.

He has a similar imposing presence to the lead actor in "Man of Steel".

It's not scary.

But it is enough to amaze people.

In particular, in the memories of reporters, Li Luo's image was that of a handsome man in "Painted Skin" and a gaunt man in "Ip Man". Now, such a huge change has suddenly appeared, which is quite surprising.

Male celebrities in China now.

Where else can you find such a masculine physique?

Li Luoshi gracefully walked to the left side of the center and clapped along with the other actors.

Amidst the still dazzling and spectacular flashes of light, Hendrik Willem Van Loon laughed heartily and strode onto the stage, waving his arms as he rightfully took his place in the very center.

He is not tall.

But Hendrik Willem Van Loon was also quite robust.

Coupled with the aura of the other party's international kung fu superstar, he didn't feel overwhelmed by Li Luo at all.

At Hendrik Willem Van Loon's invitation.

Everyone bowed to the reporters below the stage to express their gratitude.

He then sat down in the sofa chairs that the staff brought up, and took one wireless microphone after another, posing as if he were about to have a long chat on the stage.

"How about it?"

Before the host could even begin his opening remarks, Hendrik Willem Van Loon excitedly leaned over and slapped his shoulder hard: "Were you all shocked by Li Luo's physique? You definitely were, I'm sure you were.

"Hahaha."

"That's exactly the effect we wanted."

"To be honest, I've been quite surprised lately. Li Luo's energy is simply explosive."

"Go for a run in the morning."

"During breaks from filming, he would do bench presses with a 100-pound barbell. If this weren't a press conference, I would definitely have Li Luo take off his shirt to show you all. It would have scared you to death."

"Compared to those Hollywood musclemen."

"Not bad at all."

“I even want to touch those abs. I’ve been telling him not to take off his shirt to work out while filming, otherwise the actresses and makeup artists on set will be swarming around him every day.”

"We can't work properly anymore!"

His rapid-fire words left Li Luo, who was sitting next to him, both amused and exasperated.

Xu Dongmei, who plays the bandit leader, and Lin Peng, who plays a songstress, covered their mouths and laughed. The two girls frequently looked in Li Luo's direction to prove that what their elder brother said was true.

The reporters in the audience.

The laughter erupted in unison.

The journalists present were all used to Hendrik Willem Van Loon's interviewing style; with him around, there was never any worry about awkward silences or a lack of topics.

When this big-nosed guy gets excited...

He could even rush onto his old friend's concert stage and passionately argue with the fans.

The host felt a chill run down her spine. She hurriedly glanced at the interview schedule in her hand, quickly put the microphone to her mouth, and tried to get the press conference back on track.

"Big brother."

How was your experience working with Li Luo this time?

A loud shout rang out from the already agitated crowd of reporters.

"it is good!"

Hendrik Willem Van Loon grinned and said quickly, "Very good. Actually, I knew he was a very good actor before we started filming this movie, but I didn't expect him to be this good."

"A polymath".

"You understand what I mean?"

“Li Luo is proficient in screenwriting, acting, and directing, and he does it very well.”

"I am very pleasantly surprised that we are working together this time."

"awesome!"

"Li Luo's acting skills are amazing. I was stunned when we were filming one of the scenes. I didn't expect him to be able to act so well, just like the character in the play. In addition, he is very professional."

"Can you imagine?"

“Li Luo even memorized my lines perfectly, which is something all actors should learn from him.”

"besides."

"His skills are top-notch!"

"I really enjoyed filming this movie. I wanted to try every action scene with Li Luo. To be honest, I had a lot of fun filming it. At least for me, it was very, very fun. I'm sure Li Luo will become an action star in the future."

After such a lively and animated display,

Upon hearing this, Li Luo put one hand to his forehead and quickly stood up and bowed, indicating that he was unworthy of such praise.

Reporters at the scene.

He nodded excitedly.

"do not do that."

Henrik Willem Van Loon reached out and pulled him back into his chair, laughing loudly as he said, "I wasn't just flattering you. Of course, it would be even better if you could flatter me back like that later!"

"Hahaha."

The audience burst into laughter.

The reporters secretly exclaimed that today's trip was definitely worthwhile.

"No need for flattery."

Li Luo smiled and returned to his seat, holding up the microphone as he said, "With Brother Fang Long's status, there's nothing I need to praise. I grew up watching his movies."

"He is a kung fu superstar in all his right."

"He is the idol I constantly strive to emulate and learn from!"

Everything should be reciprocal.

They're full of praise, so I can't let them down here.

These words followed.

The audience erupted in applause once again.

Hendrik Willem Van Loon was incredibly happy at that moment, his big nose even turning slightly red.

"In fact."

Li Luo continued speaking without pausing, nodding into the microphone and saying, "This film, 'Little Big Soldier,' has given me a great sense of novelty. I can't say too much about the plot."

"But I want to say that this is an excellent work."

"As gentle as a breeze."

"And as rich and heavy as a jar of aged wine!"

"This is quite rare in Brother Hendrik Willem Van Loon's previous works, and even in the realm of action films. I am very happy to be able to collaborate with Brother Hendrik Willem Van Loon on such a meaningful film."

"Thank you, brother."

"Thank you, Director Ding Sheng."

"Thank you to all the staff in front of and behind the camera. It is an honor to work with such an excellent team."

Based on Li Luo's interviewing experience.

Handling this kind of situation was a piece of cake for him; he immediately launched into a flurry of flattery.

The filming made Hendrik Willem Van Loon laugh heartily, director Ding Sheng was very satisfied, and all the staff on and off the stage were all smiles. Enthusiastic applause resounded throughout the press conference hall.

Next.

The host forcefully steered the pace back on track.

The rest of the new actors were introduced one after another, and scene photos and the first batch of stills were shared on the big screen.

Because of Li Luo.

The first still released was a picture of someone riding a bull.

Seeing Fang Long holding the reins with both hands and Li Luo sitting behind him with his arm around him, the two guys looked disheveled and a little panicked, which made everyone on the scene laugh so hard they were bent over.

Actually, Hendrik Willem Van Loon was alright. The main problem was that they had never seen Li Luo act so funny before.

Amidst the constant laughter from the reporters.

The interview was nearing its end.

Yu Dong and the others walked onto the stage with big smiles on their faces. About twenty people surrounded Fang Long and Li Luo in the middle, cheering and gesturing with their index and middle fingers as they watched the camera.

This officially announced the arrival of "Little Big Soldier" to the market.

The interview content and various stills from the movie quickly spread across the internet after the press conference ended.

It has captured the curiosity of countless netizens.

I have high expectations for this collaboration between two action stars.

We had a meal together.

Li Luo has officially left the group.

In the evening, we continued our visit to the set of "The Founding of a Republic". After work, we strolled along the Huangpu River with Xu Qing, taking one photo after another of the Oriental Pearl Tower. Her radiant smile added a touch of glamour to the city's neon lights.

the next day.

Saying goodbye to Xu Danu with reluctance.

Before dawn, Li Luo headed to Tonglu to inspect the Xinghuo Film and Television Base, which was about to be put into use.

The morning sun was exceptionally bright.

The light rain filtered through the glass, gently falling onto her almost perfectly beautiful face.

Don't know how long it has been.

Her eyelashes trembled.

The woman lying on the bed opened her eyes groggily, just as the alarm clock beside her pillow went off, waking her up completely.

The woman yawned and stretched while sitting.

Arms as smooth as jade.

It has a glossy sheen when exposed to sunlight.

The silk camisole nightgown was wrinkled, and her full curves became even more exaggerated with her movements, trembling slightly. Her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, creating a beautiful picture of a woman just waking up.

He rested his chin on his hand and looked at himself in the mirror opposite.

Fan Bingbing made a face with satisfaction before lifting the covers and turning over to leave the antique-style two-meter-wide bed.

Put on a coat.

He walked out of the main house lazily.

The stunning scenery before her made her exclaim in admiration.

The place they were in was almost like a small ancient mansion. A winding stream flowed through the huge courtyard, with the clear waters of the Fuchun River flowing along it, and fish nimbly swaying their tails.

A faint ripple appeared.

There are stones in the courtyard, stones surround a pond, and there is a window outside the pond.

There is another view through the window.

With just a few steps, a series of completely different scenes will unfold before your eyes.

I picked up a can of fish food at random.

Fan Bingbing walked along the connecting corridor and came to the wooden pavilion with upturned eaves. She leaned against the railing and sprinkled fish food. Watching the fish scramble for the food, she couldn't help but let out a happy chuckle.

Surrounded by Taihu stones, the green plants sway gently in the wind.

This was accompanied by laughter.

Anyone would completely relax.

Fan Xiaopang was enjoying feeding the fish, and she couldn't resist dipping her delicate feet into the cold, clear pond, playfully splashing the glistening water.

The swimming fish were so frightened that they scattered and fled in all directions in the water.

A gentle breeze ruffled her dark hair.

The scene was so beautiful, it resembled that of an ancient lady, leaving one in awe.

Li Luo leaned against the moon gate with a smile.

I just quietly admired her, looking at the beautiful girl in front of me who was as beautiful as a vixen, until a soft gasp of surprise echoed in the incredibly elegant courtyard.

He quickly pulled his feet back.

Running swiftly through the wooden corridors, water droplets still clinging to them.

Her long hair flowed freely.

The full, rounded curves are lively and dynamic.

Immediately afterwards, Fan Bingbing excitedly leaped into the air, spread her arms and legs, and flew into Li Luo's arms.

"My God!"

"You've gotten so much stronger."

"Haha, but you're still so handsome, Little Fatty likes it!"

How long will you stay?

"How about spending a few more days with Little Fatty?"

Taking a deep, blissful breath of the scent emanating from Li Luo's embrace, Fan Bingbing squinted her eyes happily, swaying her hips and acting coquettishly, while also showering his face with kisses.

The next moment.

Fan Bingbing's eyes widened in alarm.

As Li Luo flicked his finger, goosebumps rose on his buttocks from the gentle breeze.

"No."

Hugging his neck, Fan Xiaopang's voice lingered: "You big bad guy, what if someone sees us?"

"will not!"

Li Luo breathed a long sigh of relief.

With a grin revealing his pearly white teeth, he strode toward the pavilion behind the Taihu rock, carrying the girl whose pupils had constricted violently: "No one will see us. No one is allowed to enter without permission."

Do you like the new home I arranged for you?

Every step.

Fan Bingbing's rationality was completely shattered, and her long, flowing black hair swung wildly.

"Wait a minute!"

The girl hugged him tightly, asking incredulously, "What do you mean by 'new home'? What do you mean by that? Isn't this...this courtyard a hotel used to entertain VIPs?"

I officially joined the crew a few days ago.

According to the treatment standards provided by the production team, Fan Bingbing stayed in a newly built hotel executive suite.

However, what I received from the hotel manager was a courtyard access card.

Fan Bingbing, of course, showed no mercy.

This place.

It's from my own brother Luo!

Live however you like, and nobody can find fault with it.

When she visited the courtyard area earlier, she couldn't help but admire the scenery.

More than a dozen ancient courtyards in the style of the Han, Tang and Song dynasties are scattered throughout the beautiful scenery that has been built at great expense on 45 acres of land. There are running trails, tennis courts, badminton courts and other facilities.

Compared to hotels.

It's like the sky and the earth.

When Fan Bingbing arrived at this Song Dynasty-style courtyard, which didn't even have a number plate, she couldn't help but be taken aback.

It has the largest area and is the most secluded.

The view is at its best.

The pavilions and terraces are almost all there, and the white walls and green tiles exude a strong sense of ancient Song Dynasty style.

A pond with flowing water.

Green trees swaying in the wind.

There's even a swimming pool built in the corner of the courtyard, with an outdoor bathtub by the pool. Stepping out through the moon gate leads to a private garden with equally breathtaking scenery, and even a few ridges have been dug up.

Planting flowers and fruits is not necessarily a bad thing.

It consists of inner and outer courtyards.

Together they form this antique courtyard.

After arranging for her personal assistant to stay in the outer courtyard, Fan Bingbing was almost dumbfounded when she arrived at the inner courtyard. Not only did she feel like she had stepped into an ancient world, but she was also amazed by the extremely luxurious decorations.

Walk out through the side gate of the inner courtyard.

Beside the clear river, hidden in a grove of trees, there is a private tennis court.

Even if the land is free.

Building such a courtyard would cost at least 20 to 30 million.

This money.

How long would it take to earn back the money from rent?

And now.
"This is your new home."

Li Luo gently placed Fan Bingbing on the stone table and playfully pinched her nose. "This will also be our new home. Only Little Fatty can live here from now on."

"Arrange it however you like."

"Like it?"

Given his pleasure-seeking nature, it was no surprise that he would build a private courtyard here and spend a fortune to make himself comfortable.

In fact, apart from the courtyard area.

He has private residences on the top floor of the hotel and in the staff area.

However, there are two other places.

There's no need to tell Fan Bingbing!
Smiling, Li Luo looked at Fan Xiaopang, whose eyes were brimming with tears of emotion, grabbed the silk camisole nightgown with his five fingers, and ripped it to shreds with a whoosh.

Release your fingers.

The light, thin clothes fluttered in the wind.

The white, smooth, and swaying object made Li Luoxin feel extremely comfortable.

A series of rapid "likes, likes, likes" followed, drifting away on the gentle breeze.

With Little Fatty's help.

The emotions that had been building up for nearly two months finally dissipated.

He hugged the girl directly.

He strode over the courtyard.

Ok.

It's now called Bingzhai.

Knowing that this place would become her and Li Luo's private residence, Fan Bingbing unceremoniously snatched the naming rights and bared her pearly white teeth, threatening that if they didn't agree...
Under the threat of being bitten.

Li Luo naturally preferred to break the character down, and nodded decisively, indicating that Bingzhai was wonderful beyond words.

"nice."

"I really love it."

"How about we hang some calligraphy and paintings on the wall? It would make it look more interesting."

"Hahaha."

“I’ll try to get some ancient clothes, like the ones in ‘Painted Skin.’ From now on, we’ll only be allowed to wear ancient robes in the Ice Studio. We’ll sit around the stove and brew tea together, living the life of the ancients.”

Amidst Fan Bingbing's chattering.

Li Luo smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Earning so much money is all about making yourself and the people around you happy!

As long as I see that happy, bright smiling face.

The money that was spent.

Nothing.

Overjoyed, Fan Xiaopang cupped his face and kissed him repeatedly. Sensing Luo Ge's restless advances, he quickly shook his head in fright, causing Li Luo to burst into laughter before turning around and disappearing into the bathroom.

Once everything is tidied up.

Li Luo walked out of the small gate of the outer courtyard alone.

He got into the car he had borrowed from the film crew of "The Founding of a Republic," woke up Zhao Xuejing and Liu Wan, and drove slowly along the tree-lined path.

Near Bingzhai.

It is surrounded by river water introduced from the Fuchun River.

The original trees served as a screen, maintaining a certain distance from the other small courtyards.

After driving out of this private road, you arrive at the circular road in the courtyard area. At the intersection, there are prominent marble pillars that read "Do Not Disturb," and there is also an electronic gate for interception purposes.

It offers excellent privacy.

Enter the password.

The railing slowly rose.

Li Luo happily stepped on the gas and drove forward, slowly turning the steering wheel in his hands.

"Yes!"

"I'm in Tonglu."

"Dahua, when are you joining the crew? The location chosen by the crew is great, the scenery is beautiful, and it's comfortable. Of course it's comfortable. Where else in Hong Kong can you find such a living environment? Even Hengdian can't compare."

"How many more days until you're free to come over? Damn."

"I won't tell you anymore."

"Sun-dried!"

The person in front of me was jogging slowly. Upon hearing the engine, they immediately hung up their phone and moved aside to make room.

"Ok?"

Looking at the other person's profile.

Li Luo slowed down and opened the car door under the puzzled and wary gaze of the other party.

"Brother Jia Hui!"

Smiling and extending his palm, Li Luo greeted him politely, "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Li Luo, the person in charge of Xinghuo Films."

Spark Films.

The place I stayed at was called Xinghuo Hotel.

The next filming location is called Xinghuo Film and Television Base.

Person in charge.
Looking at the handsome face in front of him, Liang Jiahui couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The younger generation is really fierce; they have the kind of energy that can crush people.

"Mr. Li!"

Smiling, Leung Ka-fai stepped forward and firmly grasped his hand: "We met before at the Hong Kong Film Awards, but we didn't have a chance to get to know each other."

Meet the multifaceted movie star.

This greatly improved Li Luo's mood.

They greeted each other, and laughter echoed through the shady trees in the courtyard.

Laughter echoed through the air.

A gentle breeze carries us to the majestic buildings in the distance.

On the tall exterior wall, the two characters "Spark" gleamed in the sunlight.

After completing their cleaning duties, the hotel staff quickly gathered in the lobby on the first floor after being called over the walkie-talkie. The front desk, guest rooms, catering, security and other departments each gathered together.

Everyone tidied each other's uniforms and appearance.

Under the direction of hotel manager Chen Chen, they stood separately on both sides of the lobby, their eyes looking nervously and excitedly towards the door.

I'm really looking forward to it.

I'm looking forward to seeing my big-star boss as soon as possible.
