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

Chapter 600 Aspiring Movie Star

Night falls on the town of Tofino.

Normally...

The town's teenagers would gather in groups of three or five, try to get some beer from the store, and then find a secluded spot with the cooler kids from school to drink themselves into a stupor.

If we hit it off, we can do some fun things together.

To pass the boring high school years.

Now they have another entertainment activity, a really, really cool one: going to the filming location of "Twilight: New Moon" to watch a performance, although most of the time they can't see anything.

But in the town.

Lucky individuals have already received photos with the actors.

From then on, he became the envy of everyone in the school, and many others hoped that they could be the next lucky one.

Local residents.

Tourists.

And of course, reporters were also present.

Various groups of people caused quite a commotion in the small town.

Although the production team deliberately chose an extremely remote location, it posed no problem for reporters, as long as they could take some valuable behind-the-scenes photos.

For them, it all represents greenbacks.

To avoid spoilers.

The crew members had to engage in various battles of offense and defense with the paparazzi lurking in various places. The guard distance had to be increased as much as possible. In addition, they had to be extra vigilant when it came to the special looks of key figures.

It exhales cold mist.

Hearing Bella and Edward calling out in the distance, Garcia walked into the film set carrying a full pot of hot coffee.

We headed straight for the white house by the roadside.

"Boss."

With a soft exclamation, she handed over the coffee in her hand.

Sugar-free?

Li Luo turned to look at the girl.

"Yes!"

Garcia nodded quickly.

After spending a few days together, I've figured out some of my new boss's preferences.

For example, absolutely no sugar cravings.

The donuts that others enjoy so much, those delicious desserts sprinkled with syrup, chocolate, and powdered sugar, are practically taboo to this person; they wouldn't even have the desire to touch them.

Various beef and lamb chops, seafood, vegetables, as well as sugar-free coffee and mineral water—these are the things the new boss likes to eat.

Moreover, their appetite is surprisingly large.

However, considering the other party's absurdly abundant energy, all of this became perfectly reasonable.

"Thank you."

Taking the kettle and shaking it slightly, Li Luo gulped down a large mouthful of slightly bitter coffee, then raised his arm to indicate to the house, "The wires are mainly used for leverage. Point A on the wall, point B on the tree trunk, and point C on the second-floor window sill."

"Then roll over and crawl inside."

"The camera rose in sync with my movements, snap, snap, snap, and then I quickly flipped over and crawled into the room."

"This way of shooting makes it more realistic and can easily capture all the movements."

"The impact will be even stronger."

"So, can you understand my line of thinking?"

"Thank you" was said to the assistant.

The ensuing rapid-fire explanation was directed at the staff members standing around him.

Standing around him was a large group of people, including the producer, director, screenwriter, action choreographer, and Christine. Except for the action choreographer, who came from the Jackie Chan Stunt Team, who nodded repeatedly.

Everyone else was stunned.

Everyone's eyes followed his finger as it moved, and their heads swayed from side to side, creating a rather humorous and comical scene.

"Your actions?"

The director scratched his chin, looking at him blankly: "You mean you're going to do this stunt yourself?"

"Or else?"

Li Luo was even more bewildered than him.

"Uh"

The director was at a loss for words.

In the past, when films involved dangerous stunts, it was difficult to persuade actors to perform them themselves, no matter how much persuasion they went through. When pushed to the limit, they would use unions and agents as shields.

They won't even try to argue with you directly.

Now, without me having to say a word to them, they've already taken the job on their own initiative.

"Li is an action actor."

Godfrey scratched his chin, nodded to the director, and said, "Just listen to Andy and Lee regarding the choreography; they're both professionals."

"try it?"

Zheng Jizong nodded to Li Luo.

As a former member of Jackie Chan's stunt team, he naturally knew that Li Luo had just collaborated with his elder brother on a film.

In terms of experience.

There's absolutely nothing to worry about.

Of course, those Hollywood actors need to be taught step by step, and the movements are constantly broken down into ways that they can perform. But when he meets experienced colleagues, he doesn't mind discussing and exploring even more exciting movements with them.

After discussion.

The stuntmen quickly attached steel wires to Li Luo.

The others dispersed, giving him room to move around.

At Godfrey's signal, the staff pulled up several huge curtains, perfectly blocking the cameras in the hands of the reporters who were lying on the roof as they walked away, amidst their complaints.

Make sure you won't be accidentally photographed.

Li Luo then took off the coat he was wearing, revealing his well-developed, beautiful muscles.

Although it's possible to perform actions while wearing clothes, during rehearsals, we need to recreate the filming situation as closely as possible to observe whether the posture and movements are in place, and we can't worry about the cold weather.

"Check the status."

Is there a problem with the safety rope?

"OK."

Amidst the shouts, Li Luo took several steps back.

"GO!"

Zheng Jizong's urgent shout rang out, and he immediately sprinted forward like an arrow released from a bow. His calf muscles suddenly swelled up, and with the help of the wire, he was lifted into the air, his feet slamming against the wall with a thud.

Point A is settled.

Under the tense gaze of everyone.

Li Luo then gracefully lunged towards the prop tree outside the house.

no problem.

He clung to point B like a monkey.

He turned around again.

Next comes the most difficult part. Li Luo now needs to grab the windowsill and use the strength of his legs to throw his 1.82-meter frame into Bella's room.

The movements should not only be clean and swift, but also as beautiful as flowing clouds and water.

The difficulty lies not in the movements themselves.

It is not the body itself that is the problem, but rather the enormous body of the individual.

The actor in the original work was short and visibly wore height-increasing insoles. While stuntmen of similar stature could easily squeeze into the windowsill, it was not an easy task for him.

Use your legs to exert force.

Li Luo reached back and hooked towards the windowsill.

At this point, his physical fitness was put to the test, and the wire work simply made it easier for him to complete the task.

The fingers whistled forward.

wait
"Stop!!!"

Seeing the window sill rapidly approaching, Li Luo let out a hurried shout. In a flash, he quickly curled his arms and legs into a ball, protecting his head firmly in a split second.

Under the tense gaze of everyone present, his body slammed solidly against the second-floor windowsill.

"Boom."

The vibrations caused dust to fall in a flurry.

Not very powerful.

It looks quite frightening.

Christine jumped to her feet, and the rest of the group took a step back before rushing forward again.

Li Luo quickly regained his balance while in mid-air.

Hold onto the wall with one hand.

He made an OK sign under the tense gaze of everyone.

"I am fine."

Rubbing his shoulders, Li Luo quickly gestured downwards and said, "I reduced the force by a third. The speed at which you pounced was too fast, leaving me no time to react!"

"Little Big Soldier" wasn't made for nothing.

He learned a lot of self-protection techniques from Hendrik Willem Van Loon.

If you had poked it with your finger, it could have caused bruising or even a fracture. In this situation, you have to overcome the instinct to reach out and help, and instead use your fleshy shoulder to bump it and dissipate the force.

Therefore, it looks serious.

Actually, he's perfectly fine now.

After being lowered to the ground by the wire, Li Luo used his eyes to deter Christine's urge to pounce on him, then smiled and waved to show that he was really fine.

Rehearsals continued.

His figure kept leaping into the air.

It might hit a wall, miss a tree trunk, or crash straight into it.

Every mistake.

All of this has led to better adjustments.

Garcia's eyes practically sparkled as he watched Li Luo tirelessly being hoisted up and down by the wire. After being handsome and carefree, the label of "dedicated" was now firmly imprinted on Boss.

After five or six attempts, the figure surprisingly nimbly slipped into the window.

Such an action.

The crowd erupted in sharp whistles and applause.

"Actors in position."

After a brief celebration, the director quickly grabbed the megaphone: "Staff, return to your positions, get ready to begin filming! GO, GO, GO!"

If filming exceeds the allotted time, all staff members will be paid substantial overtime pay.

When it comes to money.

No one dared to delay in the slightest.

The night is rich.

The light from the streetlights made the houses along the roadside appear even whiter, and the delicate face in the second-floor window looked even more striking.

Under Bella's puzzled gaze.

In the vast lawn.

The handsome boy, shirtless and wearing denim shorts, took several steps back.

In the midst of a sprint.

They climbed up as quickly as nimble monkeys.

The boy's strong body was surprisingly agile. With his outstretched limbs, he quickly contracted and swung through the window, landing firmly in front of Isabella with a thud.

The muscles were shiny with oil, and there were slightly undulating abdominal muscles.

The girl stared blankly at him.

It took her two or three seconds to finally manage to shift her gaze to that handsome face.

"Hey."

Jacob spread his hands out in front of him.

"Snapped!"

Bella hurriedly stretched out her fist and pressed it against the shiny abs, so hard that it even made a cracking sound. As if burned by the heat, her fist trembled and withdrew.

Then, without hesitation, he pressed against her, maintaining a certain distance between them.

Next.
Producer Godfrey looked around blankly.

I don't know when it started, but my surroundings are now filled with makeup artists, costume designers, and a bunch of female staff from the film crew.

These guys.

Her eyes looked incredibly alluring.

The lines Lee and Christine spoke were completely irrelevant to these women; their eyes were all greedily fixed on Lee's muscles, and they looked as if they wanted to pounce on him and lick and bite him.

Staff members who were constantly swallowing their saliva were everywhere you looked.

As my gaze shifted...

He noticed that Stephanie Mel was also watching with longing eyes.

This discovery.

Godfrey couldn't help but chuckle.

But he quickly looked excitedly at the guy who was rehearsing his lines with Christine. The guy was already charming enough before, but now that he had gained muscle, his charm had increased even more.

This muscular, handsome guy.

It perfectly caters to the tastes of North American audiences.

The crew members in front of me are clearly used to the beautiful faces of Hollywood.

Even they couldn't handle it.

Not to mention girls who are still in their adolescence.

An accidental discovery.

Godfrey's fingers tapped rapidly on his watch behind his back as he pondered the company's proposed back-to-back filming plan. Based on his observations over the past few days, Li Luo was perfectly embodying the role of Jacob; the actor hadn't become flustered despite the increased screen time, but rather handled everything with composure.

The quality of the footage.

In his view, there was basically nothing wrong with it.

Thus.

Box office success is already guaranteed.

If we wait until the sequel is released before preparing for the new film, the salaries of the three main actors will likely skyrocket to an astonishing level, and their schedules will be seriously threatened.

I can't just sit and wait for the actors to demand exorbitant prices later; I have to start negotiating this matter in advance.

The next new film needs to be finalized before the box office results of the sequel are released.

They might even start filming!
Even if it means offering a high premium.

In contrast.

That would be extremely cost-effective.

Godfrey narrowed his eyes and clenched his fist tightly.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire crew, the dialogue scene, after several takes, finally achieved the desired effect. But the director showed no sign of stopping, and continued to use the megaphone:
"Excellent."

"You two did a fantastic job, but could we do one more take?"

"The final scene."

"Ah."

"Christine seemed more eager."

"no problem."

A smile appeared on Li Luo's lips.

"OK."

Christine naturally had no objections.

The two stood facing each other.

The staff member half-squatted and held the clapperboard high in front of Li Luo. As the director waved his arm, the clapperboard snapped shut, and the script supervisor quickly left the shooting area, bending over.

Li Luo gave Christine a deep look, then walked towards the window without turning back.

The figure jumped up.

It landed lightly above the windowsill.

"Jacob."

"and many more."

"Please, what are you doing?"

Recalling the director's earlier request, Christine hurriedly chased after him, asking questions repeatedly.

"you guess?"

Li Luo turned around with a smile.

"what?"

Christine looked at him blankly.

According to the script, Jacob shouldn't have responded at all.

At this moment, Li Luo leaned out of the window, took something from the hoisted staff member, and carefully pulled it back until the candlelight flickered in front of Christine.

A candle.

It was firmly inserted into the cake.

The number 19 is drawn in large on the cream.

The orange flames danced lightly with Li Luo's movements, completely illuminating his handsome face.

All of this is right before my eyes.

Christine covered her mouth tightly with both hands.

Crystalline tears quickly welled up in her eyes, turning into streams of water that rolled down her cheeks.

"Happy Birthday to You."

The cameras and other valuables were quickly packed away, leaving only a dim light in the room. All the crew members looked at Christine with smiles on their faces and wished her a happy birthday in unison.

"Happy Birthday to You."

Christine looked around excitedly, and Ashley, Nikki, and others who didn't have any filming tonight also rushed into the room.

In their hands.

They also carried cakes and colorful desserts to share with the crew.

"Happy Birthday to Kristen Stewart."

"Happy Birthday"

"To You!"

When Li Luo walked up to the girl who had just turned nineteen today with the cake, the small filming set erupted in cheers, and everyone laughed as they watched the tearful female lead.

Make a wish~

Grinning and flashing his pearly white teeth, Li Luo winked rapidly at the girl.

She glared at him hard.

Christine clasped her hands together with immense happiness.

Her eyes slowly closed in the candlelight. After happily making a wish, she excitedly took the cake and blew out the candles amidst the cheers of the crowd.

"Alan!"

When the cheers subsided slightly, Christine, with tears of joy in her eyes, shouted towards the door, "Turn off the lights, right now!!!"

Before everyone could react.

The girl had already swiftly chopped off the candles, and then the huge cake slammed into Li Luo's face.

Thick cream.

It covered his face completely.

Fruit and crumbs of cake hung on the muscular body.

Such a scene.

Everyone was stunned.

Many women's eyes lit up instantly, and their legs went weak.

"Crack~"

The last remaining small light went out.

The room was completely dark.

Before Li Luo could recover from his daze, Christine hugged him. The little goldfish broke through the thick cream and darted into his mouth, giving him a delighted kiss.

They parted at the first touch.

The girl darted to the corner like lightning.

At that very moment, the entire film set erupted in chaos.

These were people who felt the excitement wasn't enough, and after watching the male allure for so long, the robust bodies covered in cake had already made their mouths water. The turned-off lights completely ignited the fuse.

Amidst near-hysterical screams.

Almost all the female staff cheered and rushed towards where Li was.

Li Luo's vision was blurry at this moment, so he had no way to hide.

He was the only actor in the room shirtless, and with such a burly physique, even in the dim lighting, everyone could easily block him out.

In a blink of an eye.

The crowd engulfed him like a tidal wave.

Li Luo was wiping the cake off his face, trying to get a better look at the situation.

It can happen in a flash.

His pants were ripped off in a flash.

I rely on
Li Luo nearly jumped three feet high.

Where did this woman come from, so fierce? Judging by her posture, she probably already had her sights set on her target.

Before he could even protect her...

In the darkness, a hand struck a vital spot with lightning speed, and several extremely joyful, surprised, and shocked screams suddenly rang out in the already chaotic film set.

In this.

Then Ashley made a move.

The chest and abdominal muscles were now covered with free-floating palms.

Even worse.
Depend on!
Who bit my ass?

In a panic, Li Luo quickly slapped his hand away from the golden mace and pulled up his jeans to cover his vitals, but he couldn't protect any other parts of his body. He didn't know how many people were taking advantage of the chaos in the darkness.

Or perhaps she could take the opportunity to eat the cake off him.

He cursed.

Li Luoteng's other hand shot out like lightning. He didn't care about anything else; he couldn't just suffer a loss without gaining anything in return.

Hey!
It's big enough.

Tsk.

This feels nice.

Whoops.

He even grabbed his own hand and tried to burrow inside his clothes.

The foreign woman who rushed up to him wasn't shy at all; in fact, she was extremely proactive in letting Li Luo experience all sorts of wonderful sensations, and she let out all sorts of wanton laughter with great satisfaction.

At this moment, pieces of cake flew everywhere on the set, whistling as they landed on the crowd.

Screams echoed throughout the room.

So chaotic.

Christine burst into laughter, slapping the floor with glee.

Until almost two minutes had passed.

Godfrey clapped his hands repeatedly to stop the commotion and signaled to the staff to turn on the lights.

"Please."

As the light reappeared, Li Luo helplessly spread his hands: "I'm not the one celebrating my birthday today, are you guys mistaken?"

He wore his denim shorts crookedly.

On the body and face.

hair.

The walls were covered with cakes.

His extremely frustrated expression and disheveled appearance made everyone at the scene burst into laughter, and these guys were no better off, with many of the foreign girls having cream handprints hanging on the front of their clothes.

She subtly straightened her chest as Li Luo's gaze swept over her.

Then he quickly rectified the chaos.

Amidst the laughter of these people, Christine's movements were particularly noticeable, but as she laughed, she was soon horrified to find herself being pierced by a series of malicious gazes.

He wiped it on his body.

Li Luo picked up a dollop of cream and hurled it at her.

Amid Christine's screams and pleas for mercy, another shower of cakes erupted inside the room.

April 19th.

Hong Kong Island.

The plane from across the ocean slowly landed.

He tugged at his mask.

Li Luo walked out of the terminal with his shoulder bag tightly tucked in. His sportswear looked very low-key, and since he was alone, there was nothing particularly special about him.

On the contrary, it was not far away.

A minor disturbance is taking place.

"Can you say a few words? Are you confident about winning the Best Newcomer Award? What kind of outfit will you be wearing tonight?"

Do you think *Red Cliff* has a chance to win Best Picture?

What are your thoughts on the Best Actor selection?

"Ms. Zhiling, who do you think has a better chance of winning the Best Actor award tonight?"

Li Luo squinted at the scene.

A tall, beautiful figure was surrounded by reporters. With the help of security personnel, she managed to answer a few questions before quickly getting into her van and speeding away from the airport.

The minor disturbances did not stop there.

Entertainment reporters exclaimed and rushed to another spot, surrounding Zhao Wei, who appeared with several assistants.

Looking away, Li Luo took out his vibrating phone.

Look around.

He waved his arm at a very low-profile Lexus in the distance.

After the other party drove up.

He quickly got into the car and rammed the outstretched fist into it.

Congratulations!

Hung Tin-ming looked him up and down with admiration, then gripped the steering wheel and said, "Now you're filming in Hollywood and you're a potential Best Actor winner. You've got over twenty nominations. You're something else!"

Oh my god!

Stretching, Li Luo casually took off his mask: "What's the use of nominations? Winning the award is what really matters."

"This year's competition is too tough!"

"It's even more difficult than the previous one."

"I guess there's not much hope, I'll just consider it as coming back to join in the fun."

"It's definitely no problem."

Although he agreed with Li Luo's opinion, Hong Tianming still offered him a word of encouragement.

Put it in gear.

Start the vehicle quickly.

A fleeting glimpse of a profile inside the car prompted a reporter who happened to see it to give chase, and the excited shouts of "Li Luo! Li Luo!" echoed in the whistling sea breeze as the 28th Hong Kong Film Awards approached.
