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

Chapter 654 Girlhood
Seoul.

International Airport.

The suitcase rattled loudly as it was dragged along.

The entourage surrounded Christine, Pattinson, and Li Luo, with camera flashes going off wildly and the screams of Twilight fans deafening.

When we arrived outside the airport.

An overwhelming cacophony of screams erupted.

Looking at the sea of ​​fans all around, Li Luo and his companions exchanged glances, then waved with bright smiles before quickly getting into the van arranged by the local distributor.

The figures of several people.

The cameras, which were also being followed and filmed, continued to capture the story.

Only after the car door was completely closed did the local entertainment reporter excitedly raise his microphone and introduce in Korean: "The creative team of the movie 'Twilight: New Moon' has appeared before us."

"Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Li Luo, among other main actors, are all present."

"This is a very popular Hollywood teen movie."

"My first work last year."

"It grossed $446.45 million worldwide. Considering the film's budget, the final revenue is an amazing figure, thanks in part to the contributions of our Korean movie fans."

"There are countless fans gathered here at the airport right now, and they are all screaming the names of their idols."

"Wow~"

"That's the amazing influence Hollywood has."

"As the market in our Republic of Korea becomes more and more important, Seoul has gradually become a major promotional hub for Hollywood. I believe that more Hollywood production teams will come to Seoul for promotion in the future."

"What deserves special mention is..."

"Li Luo, who plays Jacob in the main cast of this movie, is actually Chinese, but he has achieved a breakthrough success in the Hollywood market with his Asian face."

"It has been strongly sought after by countless teenagers in Europe and America."

"They're leaving, they're leaving."

As the convoy began to move, the reporters who had been blocked outside excitedly rushed forward.

The fans who came to pick them up became even more frenzied, with many breaking through the defenses and sprinting over at top speed to bang on the windows of the vehicle where Christine and the others were, their faces flushed.

"Christine!!!"

"Edward!"

"Oh my god, Jacob, can you roll down the car window? Oppa, Oppa! Lee Lo oppa, saranghaeyo!!!"

All sorts of screams seemed to soar into the sky.

The car windows rattled loudly.

It looked like it was about to be smashed to pieces at any moment.

The faces of those excited individuals, their features distorted, startled Christine, who quickly curled up into a ball, managing only a forced smile. Li Luo and Pattinson, sitting to her left and right, also immediately adopted defensive stances.

He kept waving his hands to signal the fans to calm down.

But this not only had no effect, it also made the fans who had gathered around even more excited.

Fortunately, the South Korean police officers at the scene quickly rushed over and pulled the fans away. Amidst the sharp whistles of the police, the convoy was finally able to move forward slowly and soon merge into the traffic.

"It's crazy."

Looking in the rearview mirror at the fans still chasing after him, Pattinson nervously wiped away the cold sweat.

Swallow your saliva.

Christine nodded quickly in agreement.

Although they experienced many big events during this period.

For example, when the fans held a fan meeting in London, they were extremely enthusiastic, and the screams were almost constant, causing a powerful attack on everyone's eardrums.

However, such a frenzied chase...

It's really rare.

"It's so cold!"

Li Luo exhaled a faint white mist and wiped the glass clean with a wave of his hand.

Trying to calm down the restless emotions.

At the same time, I couldn't help but marvel at how fast time flies. When I left China, the weather was still hot enough to wear short sleeves, but I didn't expect that just half a month later when I arrived in Seoul, I would already need to wear a winter coat.

"Ah."

Christine agreed, subtly leaning on his shoulder.

The Hollywood girl's eyes were filled with undisguised fatigue. It was impossible for her not to be tired after more than ten days of global promotional activities, which involved giving various interviews every day.

It's just a frantic rush to catch flights.

It keeps flying over one country after another.

My biological clock is now completely messed up, so things like jet lag are out of the question.

When she first started promoting the product, she enthusiastically provoked Li Luo in various ways. However, as time went on, this once energetic foreign girl became listless.

Just now when I got off the plane.

Our little Twilight girl's legs were practically shaking.

Actually, the promotion of "New Moon" in the Asian region was mainly focused on Tokyo, a key box office city.

But considering Li Luo's face...

After negotiation.

Add Seoul as a stop.

Godfrey even wanted to include Taipei, Hong Kong Island, Manila, Bangkok and other places in the itinerary, but Pattinson and Christine's agents strongly protested, stating righteously that the workload had already exceeded the limit.

First, I spent more than ten days traveling around Europe.

After touring Seoul and Tokyo, the next stop is Sydney, and finally, they will return to their North American home base for the final stage of promotional activities.

Add a few more stations.

Li Luo has nothing to do with it.

Pattinson and Christine are definitely going to strike.

Thus.

Godfrey had no choice but to abandon the idea.

Regardless of Christine's subtle approach, the Asian faces everywhere outside the car gave Li Luo a strange sense of familiarity, but unfortunately, the promotional trip did not include China at this time.

It has nothing to do with whether or not it is valued.

The main reason is that "Twilight" has not yet been released in China, so it would be too outrageous to go there now to promote "Twilight: New Moon".

Look back.

Li Luo couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

These past ten days or so have given him an unprecedentedly powerful publicity experience, backed by Hollywood's formidable influence, regardless of whether it's France, Britain, Italy, Germany, Spain, or other places.

The publicity team made it through almost without incident.

All kinds of receptions had to be conducted at a high standard, and the travel, accommodation, catering, and security teams were all extravagant compared to anything I had ever experienced before.

Everywhere you go.

The fans were absolutely ecstatic.

The extent of their invincibility is simply unimaginable.

As the first Mary Sue movie to sweep the globe, the influence of "Twilight" was terrifying.

And as a Hollywood team.

The publicity staff naturally assumed that they should be treated this way, and even had to be selective about the methods used in publicity, absolutely refusing to do anything that would lower their prestige.

For example, it makes the Chinese entertainment industry look up to the Korean and Japanese entertainment industries.

The Twilight PR team's schedule didn't even include the option of participating in any variety show promotions in these two markets.

Although it is not stated explicitly.

However, Li Luo could sense that these foreigners felt it was beneath them.

The difference is enormous.

It left him speechless.

"Everyone."

The marketing manager, who was in the same car, hung up the phone and quickly turned to look at the group of people who were still not quite recovered: "I'm very sorry, I think you all know that the flight was delayed for a while."

"There will be no rest period afterward."

"Fans have already started lining up to enter the event venue."

"Although I'm very tired."

We must get there immediately.

"Please!"

"God, I need to catch my breath!"

Regardless of Pattinson and Christine's complaints, their convoy sped through the streets of Seoul, steadily making its way to the event venue.

Li Luo had no objection.

He looked out the window with great interest at the Korean girls wearing miniskirts.

Each of their little bottoms was wiggling with more gusto than the last.

This picture.

It is truly a feast for the eyes.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a city where the sex industry far surpasses that of Tokyo.

As night falls, Seoul's vibrant nightlife also begins.

Chaos.

Utter chaos.

All I could hear was the cacophony of Korean, and what appeared before me was a bright, smiling face and a constant stream of bows and greetings.

Titles like president, executive director, and department head.

They appeared in rapid succession.

When these people saw Li Luo, they were all taken aback for a moment, and then they shook hands and greeted him politely.

No matter who it is.

Li Luo and the others all returned the smiles with practiced ease.

Immediately afterwards, they went into the dressing room to change clothes and put on makeup, preparing to go on stage to meet the fans later. This process was very familiar to them, and everyone had been doing it this way for a while.

Logically, he shouldn't have felt anything, but Li Luo still couldn't help but chuckle.

To know.

This isn't his first time in Seoul.

This is the first time I've ever received such a high-level and warm reception, instead of just being greeted by the relevant managers of a small TV station and having a small fan meeting organized and that's it.

That's why I laughed.

He wasn't sure whether this counted as using foreign methods to control foreign ones.

After a simple tidying up.

Feeling refreshed, Li Luo strode out of the dressing room. His sharp suit and striking features made the Korean female receptionist waiting outside light up.

After all, compared to Americans, Li Luo's type of handsome guy is more in line with their aesthetic.

at the same time.

Christine also walked out from across the street.

This woman changed into a black dress, which made her skin appear exceptionally fair.

As for hair.

The other party dyed it black.

Then, they styled their hair in a way similar to a mullet.

Showcase your individuality.

He can easily conquer both men and women.

Pattinson soon emerged from another dressing room. The handsome British man with a cool and aloof appearance always sported messy hair, trying his best to highlight his personality.

Three main characters.

Each one displays its own unique charm.

They are raking in their own fans on a global promotional tour.

Quickly put on your headphones.

Led by the Korean staff, Li Luo and his entourage quickly made their way through the chaotic corridor. The warm-up performance was about to end in a few minutes, and they needed to get to the side of the stage to wait for their turn.

I just turned the corner.

Then you see colorful lights flashing, and extremely cheerful music follows.

"chicken chicken chicken chicken".

"Baby, Baby, Baby."

"chicken chicken chicken chicken".

"Baby, Baby, Baby."

Hearing the familiar tune, Li Luo quickened his pace and looked up at the stage from the entrance. There he saw a group of Korean girls in tight jeans dancing wildly.

They wore uniform T-shirts, yet each one had its own unique and vibrant colors.

In every move.

It perfectly showcases the vitality of a young girl.

"No, No, No, No, No, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh."

I don't know what they're singing.

But the catchy rhythm still makes it hard not to get hooked.

The venue was filled with thousands of fans, most of whom were waving glow sticks and jumping around to the cheerful music.

I can tell.

The warm-up effect was excellent.

To be honest, Li Luo isn't very familiar with the development of the Korean entertainment industry.

Even if you're not familiar with them.

He was familiar with those influential figures and groups, and the one singing and dancing in front of him was none other than Girls' Generation, who led a trend at the time.

His gaze quickly settled on the Korean girl who had jumped to the front.

The other party is none other than a stranger.

It is none other than Lim Yoon-a, who is known as the goddess of South Korea.

A divine face. Perhaps that's a bit of an exaggeration.

However, Yoona's looks are undeniably stunning. Her graceful figure and pure, gentle oval face easily make her the focus of attention on stage, and her clear eyes are simply mesmerizing.

As far as I remember, the other party seemed to have worked in the Chinese entertainment industry for a period of time.

She starred in the TV series "God of War Zhao Yun" and played a character named Xiahou Qingyi.

Her period costume look is absolutely stunning.

did not expect.

The organizers actually invited Girls' Generation to warm up the crowd.

However, Li Luo quickly smiled and put one hand in his pocket. After all, Girls' Generation was just a newly popular girl group, and there was still a significant gap between them and a phenomenal work like "Twilight".

The power of Hollywood.

That's enough to create an overwhelming advantage.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the other party's agency wanted to ride the wave of popularity of the movie. During this period, when they were promoting the movie in various countries, they often encountered popular celebrities from those countries trying to gain popularity.

Moreover, the hierarchy in the South Korean entertainment industry is even more rigid.

Idols are only slightly above comedians, and are basically at the bottom of the Korean entertainment industry's hierarchy of contempt. If they can't reach the top, they can essentially be considered fast-food consumer goods.

Perform as a warm-up act.

It doesn't seem like something that's hard to understand.

"Wow!"

Pattinson stopped and watched the performance on stage with equal interest.

As for Christine.

This girl already had a bit of ADHD, and seeing this scene, she couldn't hold back any longer. The Hollywood girl immediately grinned and swayed her body, using it as a way to adjust her mood.

"Oh."

“Oh Yeah!”

"Oh Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!"

As the last line of lyrics fell, all the members of Girls' Generation struck a playful pose. Even though they were slightly out of breath, each of them still radiated an impeccable smile.

These actions.

It has even become a conditioned response.

After years of rigorous training, they are able to easily present their best image on stage.

Such a stage performance.

This naturally drew thunderous applause from the audience.

"Thank you."

The host entered the venue, waving his arms to the audience and saying, "Thank you Girls' Generation for the song 'Gee,' and welcome to the fan meeting for the movie 'Twilight: New Moon.'"

"How about we invite the main actors of the movie to come on stage next?"

"Fall~~~"

Excited responses erupted.

Although Li Luo couldn't understand what they were saying, he saw the members of Girls' Generation making way for the center of the stage and looking excitedly in his direction.

Moreover, the staff members next to them handed out microphones.

He even clenched his fist as if to cheer himself on.

Without a doubt, it's time for them to make their appearance.

"welcome."

As the movie poster appeared on the big screen, the host excitedly raised his hand to the side: "The actor who plays Jacob!"

"what!!!"

The words haven't finished yet.

The Korean girls at the press conference were so excited that they covered their faces with their hands.

The screams exploded out loud.

Such movement.

It startled all the members of Girls' Generation on stage.

I never expected that my hard work on stage would be less effective than someone else's introduction, or even just a simple introduction of their character's name.

Is this the power and influence of movie actors?!

"That's too domineering!"

Jessica Jung slapped Yoona's hand, gesturing for her to look at the big screen.

The latter was puzzled.

But it still quickly swept over.

Her gaze froze, and her bright eyes widened instantly.

Before me was a movie poster, showing an extremely handsome Asian man standing on the grass beside a stream with a melancholy expression, though I didn't know what he had been through.

But just that expression.

It makes people feel inexplicably disappointed.

However, the other person's bare upper body and incredibly muscular physique created a stark contrast with all of this.

Raindrops fell gently onto his full chest muscles and well-defined abdominal muscles, and even through a screen, one could almost feel the powerful explosive force contained within his body.

This poster.

Yoona stared at him, her gaze somewhat fixed.

"Li Luo!!!"

The host finished speaking.

Yoona quickly shifted her gaze to the handsome guy in a suit who strolled out from the opposite side of the stage.

Just now, because I was standing in the shadows of the corner.

This makes it difficult to see their faces clearly.

But now, with the other party's appearance, it seems as if the entire stage has been brightened up.

It looks completely different from the poster.

He lacked that terrifyingly strong physique that made people secretly exclaim how domineering he was; instead, he had a tall, clean-cut, and handsome appearance, exuding an aura as beautiful as the jade described by the ancients.

His smile was as warm as sunshine.

Those shallow dimples made Yoona involuntarily take a deep breath.

The screams from the audience.

This same appearance brought the matter to an abrupt halt.

"Annyeonghaseyo".

Lee Nak, with a bright smile, waved to the densely packed Korean fans below the stage.

"Ahhh!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

"Oppa~~~"

A casual, perfectly pronounced "hello" in Korean elicited hysterical screams from the audience, who waved the movie posters they held like a tidal wave.

Regardless of what was happening in the audience.

Li Luo, with a smile, strode up to Girls' Generation and waved his hand at the vibrant girls.

"Hello!"

These Korean girls were absolutely blown away by his handsomeness.

Although the company has plenty of handsome trainees and they have seen many good-looking seniors, it is still rare to encounter a handsome man as gentle and refined as jade, as bright as the sun.

"Hi~"

Meeting his clear, lake-like eyes, Yoona quickly and cheerfully waved her hand.

Li Luo nodded and smiled.

She continued to high-five and greet the other Girls' Generation members.

"The actress who plays Bella."

The host's voice rang out again, continuously inviting the film's main cast and crew to the stage: "Welcome Kristen Stewart, who plays Edward Cullen, and welcome Robert Pattinson."

Edward and Bella appeared on the stage.

Fans at the scene.

I could no longer control my excitement.

The frenzied screams were like an alarm, and showed no sign of stopping. The fans were so excited that they all stood up, and some even blushed and tried to rush onto the stage.

The entire event venue.

It was a complete mess, like a pot of porridge.

Fortunately, the organizers were prepared, and security personnel quickly stepped forward to control the situation.

The scene was chaotic.

There was also a sound that made my eardrums buzz.

Li Luo, Christine, and Pattinson were already used to it, and to be honest, they didn't understand why the movie was receiving such a fervent following; it was the same no matter where they went during this period.

scream.

Hysterical screams.

It caused everyone to scream in astonishment.

Despite their rigorous training, Yoona and the other Girls' Generation members were still taken aback by the commotion, looking in surprise at the three actors standing in the center of the stage, bathed in light.

At this moment.

They stood beside the stage like lackeys.

One can only be awestruck by the impact of this global film and television culture.

The enthusiastic response from the audience made Christine even happier about her decision to follow Li Luo's lead. She was even extremely optimistic that "New Moon" might even surpass "Twilight" at the box office.

Such popularity.

And there are the results that are about to be achieved.

This will give them enough leverage to negotiate with the production company in exchange for box office revenue sharing clauses that any actor dreams of.

Take a deep breath.

Christine then rallied her spirits, flashing her bright white teeth at her fans.

Old rules.

Seoul is the most charming city I have ever visited.

The fans here.

They are also the most enthusiastic fans.

He also thanked Girls' Generation for their performance, praising their excellent singing. The members of Girls' Generation bowed in gratitude and urged fans to support the film.

It's all about mutual flattery and praise in business.

Everyone takes what they need.

Only after finishing all that was allowed to sit down and begin the meeting and exchange activities.

First, they shared some interesting anecdotes from the filming of the movie.

Then sign it.

He took various photos with lucky fans.

Although this process has been repeated countless times, Li Luo still tries his best to unleash his enthusiasm and treat every excited fan who looks at him with utmost care.

This kind of thing.

He certainly found it boring.

But for fans who love their films, it's enough to become an extremely precious memory in their lives.

They just left the stage.

Christine and Pattinson looked listless and exhausted.

Especially seeing Li Luo's still energetic appearance, the two of them looked even more resentful. If they didn't know that Li rarely even touched cigarettes, they would have suspected that this guy was on drugs!
"guys."

The group was stopped in their tracks. Mike, the PR manager, looked at them with an awkward smile and said, "I bet you're all hungry by now, aren't you?"

"No!"

Christine shook her head firmly.

Having just finished an event that lasted more than three hours, all she wants to do now is go back to the hotel and sleep.

"plum?"

Pattinson felt too embarrassed to refuse, so he could only look to Li Luo for help as usual.

He can attend events and eat food.

But I really can't drink any more alcohol.

"OK."

Li Luo had no other choice.

Accompanying someone for drinks.

It's not just the Chinese entertainment industry.

This thing actually exists everywhere.

The film crew traveled a long way to come here, so it would be unreasonable for the local distributor not to treat them well. The distributor also made a great show of hospitality, so it would be equally unreasonable for the film crew not to even have a single actor present.

This principle applies to everyone.

No one can escape the mundane.

Enjoy dining and drinking at a luxury London hotel, attend a chic Italian cocktail party, and join French models at a yacht party.

These different forms of hospitality are all, in essence, social interactions and networking.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Mike patted Li Luo on the shoulder and said with a smile in a low voice, "Those beautiful female singers from earlier should also be attending the reception, so I think it won't be a boring thing."

"cough~"

Li Luo cleared his throat.

This is to show that he has absolutely no interest in any pretty female singers.

Stroll forward.

Christine casually put her hands behind her back, her clean and slender middle finger quietly sticking up, swaying along with her extremely pert buttocks.
