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

Chapter 147 An unexpected new drama

A minor incident that did not affect the conversation.

At Jiang Wen's signal.

Mahjong is suspended.

Before he could continue speaking, Xu Jinglei flicked the cigarette into his mouth and opened his lighter with a ding: "Li Luo, I'm planning to shoot a movie recently. Brother Wen and I will be the male and female protagonists respectively."

"There's a role in a movie."

The flames ignited the tobacco, and she blew out smoke rings skillfully: "He said you are quite suitable and wanted to give the role to you."

"I agreed to it before, so I came to talk to you today."

"Would you like to try it?"

A pair of bright eyes looked at Li Luo through the smoke, with a hint of expectation in their eyes.

Pretty much what she said.

When reading the script, Jiang Wen said that there was a little brother who was quite suitable.

Xu Jinglei agreed without hesitation.

In this circle, you don’t have to understand anything, but you must understand the ways of the world.

Today Jiang Wen said he would take her to see this little brother. Although Xu Jinglei had agreed to be the producer, director and leading actor, she also wanted to see what it was like in person, so she chose to visit him in person.

Fortunately, everyone is in the same circle, so it doesn’t seem too abrupt.

Now seeing Li Luo, she has a very good feeling.

So I chose to speak decisively.

"If you have time, take it." Jiang Wen picked up the cigar and puffed out smoke: "Don't always think about acting in TV, try movies too."

Everyone is so familiar with it.

If there is a suitable opportunity, of course we should take care of our own people.

That’s how the Beijing circle is.

Very exclusive.

If resources are available, priority will be given to people we are familiar with.

You help me and I help you, thus forming a circle of great influence.

But just get in.

You can easily get opportunities that others cannot reach.

It is true that Li Luo is from the south, but in Jiang Wen's heart, this little brother has long been one of his own. He cannot always watch him struggle alone in the TV circle, so of course he has to give him a hand when he has the chance.

"no problem."

At Xu Qing's signal, Li Luo took a sip of Maotai and asked, "When will the filming start?"

I knew he wouldn't bring anyone here for no reason.

It turns out that there is something serious to discuss.

In fact, he didn’t need Sister Qing to remind him. He didn’t even bother to ask about the script or the size of the role. As long as the time was right, he would just agree to it!

Big Brother wants to take me along to play.

You can't be shameless when you are given face.

Regardless of whether it is TV or movies, there is a saying that "raising the star" is often done by inserting new actors into works with big names to create the illusion that their star status has risen.

To put it bluntly, this kind of thing is very simple.

In the same movie, one actor plays with Pan Changjiang and the other plays with Jiang Wen, and the textures they give are completely different.

They are totally looking out for themselves.

There is no reason to refuse.

"Filming will start in mid-November." Xu Jinglei thought about it and said, biting his cigarette, "But your role is not important. If the timing is not right, the filming plan can be adjusted."

That's how filming works.

If the actor's schedule can't be met, we can only find a way to make do.

That was the case when I was filming The Legend of the Condor Heroes with Fan Bingbing. I had been filming for a while.

She, the heroine, just joined the crew in a hurry.

"Ah."

Li Luo thought about it, nodded and replied: "I will join the crew to shoot a movie in a few days. The estimated wrap-up time is mid-December. After that, my schedule will be empty. If you have no problem with it."

"That's it."

Jiang Wen interrupted him and picked up the wine glass.

"What a coincidence."

Xu Jinglei flicked off the ash from his cigarette and laughed heartily, "In the early stages, we filmed the heroine's childhood scenes. According to the current filming schedule, it will be around the end of December when we start filming the officer you play."

"officer?"

Li Luo blinked.

"That's right." Xu Jinglei looked at him admiringly and praised, "You have a great figure. I believe you will look very good in a military uniform."

Under this gaze, under the mahjong machine.

I got kicked.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Enduring the pain in his feet, Li Luo turned on the mahjong machine: "Then let's settle it. Thank you, Brother Wen, and Sister Jinglei."

He glanced at Xu Qing who remained expressionless.

It’s so fucking unfair.

I didn't flirt with any girls, so I got hit like this for nothing.

"Thanks for nothing, let's play cards."

Jiang Wen poured the wine and shouted nonchalantly, "Have someone send the script over tomorrow, and then you can study the character. Don't worry about the pay, just take whatever you are paid!"

This posture.

It's as if he is the director and producer.

Causing everyone to laugh.

Xu Jinglei didn't care, and a long puff of smoke blew out of her red lips.

The clattering sound of mahjong continued until late at night.

After having enough fun fighting, they said goodbye and left.

Li Luo was too lazy to clean up, so he dragged out a recliner and placed it in the middle of the yard, swaying gently as he looked at the gray night sky.

Just two minutes later.

The electronic access control system beeped.

Xu Qing, who had just left, reappeared in front of him in a swagger. As Li Luo opened his arms, the Beijing girl threw herself into his arms with a gust of fragrance, and the two of them enjoyed a rare quiet moment.

"Filming is filming."

After a while, Xu Qing's voice sounded faintly: "Don't mess around."

"Ok?"

Li Luo rocked the recliner.

This was the first time the other person had said these words to him.

"Forget it, I can't control you." The girl rubbed her head and stared with bright eyes: "Old Xu is a person who can't stay still. If you want to provoke her, be prepared."

"what are you thinking?"

Li Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he gave Xu Qing a brain slam: "You think too highly of my charm!"

It was collapsed like this.

The big girl pouted, frowned and rubbed her forehead.

"Moreover."

Seeing this little woman's attitude, Li Luo's throat rolled down, and he pressed down heavily with his five fingers: "That old Xu is far inferior to our Miss Xu~"

"You can talk."

Xu Qing's face dimples appeared satisfied.

Let Li Luo do whatever he wants.

In the brightly lit courtyard, the lounge chair swayed gently, making a creaking sound as it rolled over the stone slabs.

According to the customs of my hometown.

On the first night of moving into a new home, the lights need to be kept on.

Being shaken like this.

The next day Li Luo woke up early.

He looked at Xu Qing who was sleeping soundly, and after masturbating twice, he turned over and got out of bed, stretched his body, and his joints crackled.

It was quiet all around.

Outside the window, the leaves are falling quietly, and there are old trees and a small courtyard, with winding paths and flowing water.

It made him feel very happy.

He walked out of the bedroom, swinging his hands, and came to the small hall in the main house.

Zhiya pushed open the door.

Enjoy the morning air.

Li Luo turned off the lights one by one, cleaned up the garbage left over from yesterday, and went to the kitchen to cook a pot of porridge. He was busy with these things leisurely, enjoying the rare holiday time.

Without the worries of going up and down the stairs, strolling in the yard is a whole different world.

The shouts of Mr. Jing can be heard in the alley.

There was another buzzing of pigeon whistles.

The feeling of the old capital city suddenly came out.

After eating breakfast alone, Xu Jinglei's people also brought the script over.

He brewed a pot of tea in the living room, lay down on the sofa and read the new script.

"Letter from a Strange Woman"

This is the name of the movie. There is no need to say that it is an art film. The story takes place in the Republic of China period, and a writer receives a letter from a strange woman.

This letter was written by a dying woman.

It tells the story of her love for him that lasted nearly 20 years.

From the age of 13, the woman in the letter fell in love with the suave writer who lived next door to the courtyard house because of the little things in life.

It's just a matter of age. This unrequited love is destined to have no answer.

Later the woman moved out for some reason.

When she returned to her hometown a few years later, her feelings did not fade at all, but became even stronger. By chance, she had a real intersection with the writer and gave her first time to him.

In those few short days, the woman spent the happiest time of her life.

Later the writer went on a business trip.

But after just a few days, the returning writer never looked for the woman again and forgot about her completely.

at this time.

A woman discovers she is pregnant.

She chose to keep the love and give birth to the child.

Life with a child alone is always difficult. In order to provide a good environment for the child to grow up, women choose to become socialites after several years and rely on well-off men to survive.

The officer is one of them.

After a dance, the woman and the writer met again.

no doubt.

The writer couldn't even remember who she was.

But a woman's love.

Still so hot.

Between the officer who loved her deeply and the writer who had no impression of her at all, the woman chose to throw herself into the flame, and the story followed the same trajectory.

After a moment of joy.

The writer was away on business, and the woman was forgotten.

Later, the child died of illness. The woman turned this strong emotion into a letter, which also gave the writer a deep regret.

this story.

Li Luo felt a toothache from watching this.

It’s the literary style that Yu Feihong likes: I like you, but I just don’t say it.

I won’t tell you even if you kill me.

If you have a child, give birth to it.

I would rather be a socialite than tell the writer.

Between someone who likes me and someone I like, I would choose a playboy even if it means I get hurt, and I don't care at all whether the other person still remembers me.

The whole story is about a female bootlicker falling in love with a scumbag, a humble and bottom-line-less relationship.

An almost morbid love.

This is quite new.

The feeling I probably want to interpret is that loving you is my own business and has nothing to do with you.

"A new script?"

Light footsteps sounded.

Xu Qing walked into the living room in her nightgown. She rubbed her eyes and lay down beside Li Luo in a daze. It seemed that she had not woken up yet.

"show me."

Without waiting for Li Luo to answer, she snatched the script.

Cheer up and read on.

With a cup of tea and a kiss, Li Luo hugged the woman in his arms and closed his eyes to rest.

"So touching."

After a while, Xu Qing's voice sounded slowly.

"Pfft~"

Li Luo couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hate."

After punching him hard, Xu Qing continued to look through the script: "You stinky men just don't understand this kind of emotion. So you are playing the officer in the play, right? Your role is a little short."

"Ah."

Li Luo tightened his grip on the man's waist and said with his eyes closed: "It doesn't matter. Just treat it as a test."

I thought.

Xu Jinglei is concerned about his own market value.

However, after reading the script, Li Luo felt that it was probably Jiang Wen who wanted to take him out to play.

This kind of art film.

It is very likely to be like Yu Feihong's Love Has Next Life.

It's a money-losing game.

The amount of roles doesn't matter.

Being able to act with Jiang Wen and Xu Jinglei in my first movie seems like a good start.

"There's just one problem."

Xu Qing flipped through the script again and couldn't help but complain, "I feel like you're more suitable to play the writer, and Jiang Wen should play a gentle and refined writer who fascinates the little girl."

“It just doesn’t feel like that!”

"But that guy must think he's perfect for the role. He has an ugly face, but he likes to play gentle roles."

"do you know?"

As Xu Daniu was talking, she started laughing: "When Chen Kaige was filming Farewell My Concubine, Jiang Wen strongly recommended himself to play Cheng Dieyi. Can you believe it? He even took a makeup photo for Concubine Yu."

"Chen Kaige was so scared that he didn't dare to pay attention to him."

"Hahaha."

The living room was filled with Li Luo's laughter.

The only person who could complain about Jiang Wen like this was Xu Qing.

The old guy has his own charm, but that guy is more suitable for the image of a tough guy. It does seem a bit incongruous for him to play a womanizing writer.

But how to say it.

If Jiang Wen didn't come to play such a role, I guess there would be problems with the project of this purely artistic film.

His acting skills and talent are widely recognized in the circle.

Just take out the two words "Jiang Wen".

Can attract investment.

This was also the reason why the other party spoke so tough in front of Xu Jinglei last night. In Li Luo's opinion, the reason why Old Xu was able to set up such a plan was probably more because of Jiang Wen's face.

The two of them just chatted leisurely.

Let time pass.

For three days, I hardly left the house.

Staying in the yard, spending the last rest time before the filming of the new play begins.

The Grand Cherokee roars.

It whizzed towards the side door of Sun Garden.

After rolling up a pile of fallen leaves, it stopped abruptly.

"Li Luo."

Bian Xiaoxiao, who was wearing hot pants and a short T-shirt, excitedly took off her sunglasses and jumped and waved to the man in the driver's seat. There was a big suitcase next to her.

After a long wait.

Finally, the miraculous doctor and his wife officially joined the group.

It was my first time filming with Li Luo, and also my first time playing an important role in a big production.

The woman's face flushed with excitement.

"Have you taken leave?"

Li Luo pushed the door, got out of the car and walked towards the other party.

Since we are working in the same play, it is only natural for us to pick each other up and set off together.

"Ah."

Bian Xiaoxiao nodded quickly and said happily: "When Teacher Huo heard that I was filming with you, he approved my request for leave without even asking, and also told me to learn from you and not to be lazy."

"He also asked you to take good pictures, otherwise you won't be able to graduate."

Li Luo laughed.

Put the other person's heavy luggage into the car.

"Hello young lady."

Wu Yu got out of the car and greeted Bian Xiaoxiao.

The two met once.

Not unfamiliar.

After a round of greetings, amid the chatter of the two women, Li Luo turned the steering wheel deftly, and the Cherokee roared towards Zhuozhou.
