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

Chapter 130 Media Visit
After just one week, the crew quickly lost their excitement about starting work.

It is already May.

In the north, the weather may be relatively cool.

But the south.

It's already early summer.

The crew consumes several buckets of freshly brewed herbal tea every day. Even if actors from other places are not used to it, they force themselves to drink it. They have to drink it. Several people have suffered from heatstroke during this period.

Because of this, the actors have to take a few sips before starting work every day.

"Shu~"

Wu Yu lifted the tent and walked into the dressing area. Compared with the stuffiness outside, the fan blowing inside made people feel much more comfortable.

"Brother Luo, the herbal tea is back."

Coming to a dressing table, she placed a large pot of tea on the table.

He looked at his boss again.

At this time, Li Luo was not wearing armor, but changed into a green robe with patterns. He looked like a young man, and the whole makeup was basically completed.

"Thank you."

He blew on the steaming kettle and took a sip of the herbal tea without changing his expression.

There is a piece of cool knowledge that is not that cool.

Cantonese herbal tea.

Actually, it is hot.

"I even doubt whether you have been taking drugs since you were a child."

Tong Lei drank a mouthful of the medicine with a sad face, and quickly picked up a few pieces of tangerine peel and put them in his mouth: "Such a bitter herbal tea, how come you can always take a sip from time to time like drinking a beverage."

Her makeup is very interesting.

He was wearing a dirty white shirt and his hair was very messy.

Her face was also messily made up, with many light bruises, giving her a pitiful beauty as if she had been humiliated.

“You’ll get used to it. It’s almost like espresso.”

Li Luo put down the kettle and looked to the side: "Isn't that right, Sixth Junior Brother?"

"Yes."

At the dressing table next to him, Lin Zhicong squinted and smiled.

The fat on his face trembled.

The sixth disciple Feizai Cong in Shaolin Soccer also officially joined the crew these two days. He plays Cheng Yaojin in the play and has many rival scenes with him.

This guy is the one who works the hardest when shooting outdoor scenes in this weather.

That body of fat is no joke.

"You should drink more." Li Luo came to Tong Lei with the golden mace and patted her shoulder gently: "You will be in a bad condition today, be careful, don't get heatstroke!"

It's only been on for a week.

The next scene to be filmed is quite late in the drama.

Li Rongrong's attempt to assassinate Yang Guang failed, and she was brutally raped by Yuwen Chengdu and then executed.

Qin Shubao received the news.

He brought a few brothers from Wagang Village to rob the execution ground.

The group successfully rescued Li Rongrong.

There are very few literary scenes during this period, and every day is filled with fighting, and this situation will continue.

Today's play.

Tong Lei needs to be exposed to the sun.

She thought about it and forced herself to take a few sips of herbal tea.

"Li Luo." The tent was opened again, and the producer waved to him: "There are media reporters from the Southern Metropolis Entertainment Section who are here to visit the set. They have arrived. Please come out and greet them."

It sounds like a chore.

But it's not.

The other actors in the tent all looked at Li Luo with envy.

The reason couldn't be simpler.

If this person were with the reporter, would the other party be able to write about someone else when issuing the press release? Unless there is some deep hatred, no one would do such a hateful thing.

There is a reason why Li Luo was asked to receive us.

The crew couldn't hold the opening ceremony.

We have fallen behind in terms of publicity, and we must regain the popularity through set visits.

Who else in the crew is more popular than him now?

Li Luo had no objection. He felt that it was his obligation to be the male lead. He and the show would prosper and suffer together.

Hurrying out of the tent.

We met a few guys with cameras on their shoulders and wearing media interviews.

The man was carrying a small camera, and his identity was self-evident. In front of him were two women. Judging from their positions, the one with short hair should be a full-time reporter, and the other one was an assistant or something like that.

"hello."

The female reporter's eyes lit up, and she smiled and stretched out her hand: "Hello, Li Luo, I'm Sun Qian, a reporter from Southern Metropolis."

"Hello, reporter Sun." Li Luo held two golden maces in his left hand and gently shook them with his right hand: "Welcome to the crew of Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties. Thank you for your hard work today!"

The other two did not fall behind and shook hands and greeted each other.

Accepting media visits.

Li Luo already has some experience.

After chatting for a while, he took a few people around the set and introduced the conditions of each set.

Dealing with the media is a science.

Water can carry a boat and it can overturn it.

Some actors become bad-tempered after they become famous.

Self-righteous.

I feel that the media are just following me to make a living.

All kinds of airs.

Once such people reveal any flaws, the offended news media will start to bite them madly like a pack of wolves smelling blood.

An introduction.

Sun Qian was satisfied with having collected a large amount of material.

A few people also found a seat next to the set and sat down to start a simple interview.

"Li Luo."

Sun Qian looked at the notebook in her hand and asked directly, "The ratings of Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber are very ideal. Congratulations to you. Did you expect the current situation?"

"Yes and no."

Li Luo adjusted the microphone pinned to his collar and said seriously: "As an actor, I certainly hope that the dramas I make will be loved by the audience."

“But more often than not.”

"how to say."

"I can only focus on the work at that time and try to shoot every shot as well as possible."

"Get the job done first, then talk about other things."

"Well said."

Sun Qian agreed with his statement and asked again: "You were playing Zhang Wuji at that time, and now you are playing Qin Shubao. There is a huge change between the identities. How do you grasp this point?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Luo gave his answer.

The two chatted about the popular TV series The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber and the Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties which was currently being filmed.

Came to visit the set.

There won't be any tricky questions.

It's nothing more than talking about my understanding of the role, asking about the shooting conditions, whether I can adapt to the local climate and diet, and other topics.

As they chatted, Li Luo also mentioned a few words about Pingzong Xiaying.

Secretly help promote it.

Ten minutes later, the assistant director called out, and the interview came to an end.

"Sorry, sorry."

Li Luo stood up with the golden mace in his hand, and said, "The crew is about to start filming, Sister Sun, you guys take a rest here for a while, how about trying our crew's lunch box at noon."

"Let me tell you a little news."

He had a mysterious expression and blinked his eyes quickly as he said, "I heard that there will be roast goose legs to eat later."

At first, they were curious about what the news was, but when they heard that it was roast goose legs, several reporters who came to visit the set couldn't help laughing, nodding in response, and said they must try it to see how it tasted. The laughter of several people resounded throughout the set.

Hearing this noise, the producer and Li Silin who were watching from the side showed satisfied expressions.

Being able to make reporters happy is a skill.

There are even some big-name actors who need to be coaxed into giving interviews, so people like Li Luo are extremely hassle-free.

Not far away.

Nie Yuan held the silver spear in his hand and poked the ground secretly.

It’s true that everyone seems to be in harmony on the surface.

But it is impossible to say that he has no competitive thoughts in his mind. In terms of age, he is four years older than Li Luo. In terms of experience, he has participated in more movies and TV shows than Li Luo, not only having an advantage in quantity.

Even in the hit TV series, he played the role of marrying the wrong man.

So when this new wave came over, Nie Yuan felt a little unconvinced.

Watching the other person's back as he walked towards the set.

He narrowed his eyes.

There wasn’t much rivalry in the past few days, so today I want to see how this guy performs!
"Director Hu, Director Ma."

Li Luo stopped in the middle of the set.

A square wooden board was laid in the middle of this red-soil-covered studio. Li Rongrong would wait here to be beheaded in public. Red and white curtains were drawn around it, and flags were flying.

It looks quite realistic.

There are just a few extras.

There are only 20 to 30 people in total, there's nothing we can do about it.

It's not that the crew wants to save money, it's just that they can't hire extras right now, so some big scenes look very shabby.

"Is such that."

The director pointed to the sky and said to him, "Before the temperature rises, I plan to shoot the fight between you and Yuwen Chengdu first, and then shoot the scene where the extras are shot by Wang Bodang in the afternoon."

This is very unfair to the extras.

But how to say it.

Everyone felt that this arrangement was natural.

"no problem."

Li Luo had no objections.

The three of them discussed the scenes that would be filmed later. The main part would be fighting, and they would focus on Ma Yucheng's ideas. After listening to his story, Li Luo also understood what effect the other party wanted to achieve.

"Let the stand-in rest."

Seeing martial artists wearing similar clothes to him not far away, Li Luo rejected their kindness.

Start from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

As long as the action is not too dangerous, he will do it himself.

Now is no exception.

There were a lot of fancy cuts in front of the camera, and the actors were replaced only when it came time to pose. It seemed a bit fake to him. It would be fine if they couldn't do that kind of movements, as they clearly had the ability to do so.

He couldn't accept that he was messing around.

"you sure?"

Ma Yucheng pointed to the sponge pad beside him and said, "It looks thick, but it will still hurt if you fall a few more times."

He doesn't care.

These actions are not too dangerous.

If the actor is willing to do it himself, the result will indeed look better.

"It's okay if it hurts." Li Luo showed his white teeth and carried the golden mace on his shoulder: "If it doesn't hurt, how can I look energetic? Brother Ma, don't worry, I have absolutely no complaints."

There is this sentence from him.

The two directors, one literary and one martial, said nothing more.

Ma Yucheng thought about the next shot and ran to ask Zhang Yong, who was hiding in the awning, if he wanted to give it a try.

Several actors were watching nearby.

Zhang Yong didn't have the nerve to say that he was not capable of this.

After adjustment.

Today's strongest background board began to appear. Tong Lei, dressed in white, came to the beheading platform and knelt on her knees. The staff tied her to the wooden stake behind her with hemp rope.

Today I just need her shot.

I could only stay in this place and cooperate with the filming, either kneeling or squatting.

It depends on the lens.

"Hey~"

Li Luo snapped his fingers at the props crew who were about to leave after tying the hemp rope, and pointed at Tong Lei who was kneeling beside him: "Two props guys, please help find some small cushions for her to use as a cushion."

"It would be too uncomfortable to kneel on the hardwood like this."

"Ok."

"I know, Brother Luo."

The props looked at each other and hurriedly ran to the tent nearby.

Don’t think that Tong Lei can barely be considered the leading female role.

But she could be considered a newcomer, so it was difficult for her to make any suggestions, as there were many male actors who had more roles than her. If Li Luo hadn't said this, she would have had no choice but to kneel like this.

"Thank you."

Tong Lei's frown relaxed and a smile broke out on his face.

"Thank you for everything."

Li Luo squatted beside her with his golden mace on his back, and said, "If you really can't stand the heat, just tell me and ask for a break. Don't feel embarrassed. I'll support you."

"it is good!"

Tong Lei was touched when he heard this: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

It is not easy for her to be the background board. The scene of robbing the execution ground will probably take all day to shoot.

This means that she has to spend most of the day in the sun.

You can see how hard it is.

But Tong Lei didn't want to call a timeout casually. She had the same idea as Li Luo. As long as she was on the court herself, there would be close-up shots, which was very important for her as she was preparing to graduate.

The crew cleared the area and soon prepared to start filming.

Zhang Yong, wearing armor, climbed up the stepladder and swallowed as he looked at the trampoline below.

He needed to jump down from here, then bounce up on the trampoline and pounce on Tong Lei who was tied to a wooden stake in front of him.

It’s not very high, just over two meters high.

But if it goes wrong
Thinking of this, Zhang Yong held the wooden ladder tightly.

It's true that he is the second best man in the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the play, but outside the play he is just an ordinary person. Although he is afraid, he has just agreed to it and he can't back down in front of so many people.

Li Luo noticed his subtle expression.

"The actors prepare."

"and many more."

This shout made Zhang Yong sway on the ladder and he almost broke into a cold sweat.

He looked at Li Luo in confusion.

"Coach Ma."

Li Luo pulled Ma Yucheng aside and lowered his voice, "Brother Ma, I have martial arts skills, don't worry. Zhang Yong can't be in this state. It's easy to have problems. Let him use a stunt double!"

“But he just said…”

Ma Yucheng turned around and looked at Zhang Yong who was standing on the ladder, and his voice stopped abruptly.

OK~
He understood what Li Luo meant.

Yuwen Chengdu was visibly nervous.

Jump down like this.

Not to mention completing the action, who knows what might go wrong.

He did not ask Zhang Yong's opinion. He immediately waved his hand to call the stand-in next to him over and replaced the person neatly.

The two whispered to each other and decided to replace each other.

Zhang Yong knew whose idea it was without thinking. After climbing down the ladder, he came to Li Luo and whispered "Brother Luo". He looked quite embarrassed, but his eyes were full of gratitude.

"Papa~"

Li Luo didn't say anything, but patted the guy's armor hard.

Everyone has a time when they are afraid.
