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

Chapter 214

That night.

Hong Kong Island is sleepless.

Amid the blowing sea breeze, Li Luo completely subdued the two Hong Kong girls.

The kind where I don't even have the strength to raise my hands.

the next morning.

And said goodbye to all the friends in the crew.

After spending most of the day being affectionate with the princess, he asked her to invite Liu Jialing and her husband out for dinner, and finally he and Wu Yu boarded a plane to Guangzhou, leaving the place where they had stayed for several months.

There is no time to rest, as the new drama will be launched and promoted next.

Under the guidance of staff.

The two of them went straight to the hotel in a business car.

To be honest, Li Luo was still a little excited. He hadn't seen Fan Xiaopang for a while. That girl was an absolute strong woman. She was either filming or on her way to film every day.

Because his career was on the rise, the other party didn't dare to stop.

Compared with male actors, the competition among female actors is more intense.

After all, their flowering period is shorter.

If she doesn't break out while her blooming period is still there, she will be quickly crushed by competing actresses of the same generation, and will be relegated to the second line early and become a supporting role from the protagonist, and will never be able to get some role as the heroine again.

Only when they are firmly on the front line will they have the space to maneuver calmly.

Arrive at the hotel soon.

"Shh."

Before the car came to a complete stop, Li Luo opened the door and jumped out, taking a few quick steps forward: "Boss Ma, you are too polite. I am really sorry. I treated my friends to a meal in Hong Kong Island."

"It took some time."

As he spoke, he shook hands vigorously with Ma Zhongjun who was standing on the porch.

Unexpectedly, the other party came downstairs to greet me.

I'm really flattered.

"No delay at all."

Ma Zhongjun patted his arm and winked inside, saying, "The press conference won't start until tomorrow anyway, let's go, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's go to Ma's room for a cup of tea."

"You go help."

He called to his assistant again.

It is normal for him to show his importance since the other party is the male lead of his next big production.

It’s different from when we first met.

At that time, Li Luo was only slightly famous.

The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber became a huge hit in Taiwan, which made him decide to sign the contract.

just now.

It's another scene.

Although it is already 04, the data of the rebroadcast of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber is still impressive, and the latest Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties is even more impressive, which is now almost sweeping all major local channels.

As the male lead in the drama, Li Luo is of course very popular.

and so.

He decided to go downstairs to greet him in person.

It’s also to show respect.

Leaving Wu Yu to pack her luggage, Li Luo followed Ma Zhongjun into the elevator.

"Bingbing didn't arrive until the afternoon either."

Ma Zhongjun opened the door and walked straight into the living room: "Han Yu will not be able to meet up until the next stop. Tomorrow's press conference will be attended by me, Director He, you, and Bingbing."

"Have a seat and try the new tea I just bought."

"Thank you, Brother Ma."

Li Luo closed the door casually. He no longer called him Mr. Ma, so as not to make their relationship awkward for no reason.

Sitting down on the sofa, I watched the other person skillfully make tea.

“How does it feel to film in Hong Kong Island?”

Ma Zhongjun opened up the conversation and raised his head with interest: "This is my first time making a movie. It should be a different experience than making a TV series before, right?"

"It's not the first time."

Li Luo smiled and explained, "I worked with Jiang Wen and Xu Jinglei on an art film before, and played a supporting role in it. However, movies are indeed much more delicate than TV dramas."

"really."

Ma Zhongjun agreed.

Although his main business is television, he still has some knowledge of movies.

“The biggest feeling is tiredness.”

Li Luo watched the tea pour out of the pot, smelled the faint fragrance and said: "In order to achieve the desired effect, everyone in the SPL crew worked very hard."

"Ah."

Ma Zhongjun nodded and placed a cup of tea in front of him: "You need this kind of spirit to make a good movie. But this is the first time I heard you complain about being tired. We were filming in Yinchuan at that time."

"More than ten hours a day, and I see you're just fine."

It was the diligence at that time.

This allowed him to decisively choose Li Luo as the male lead for his next big production before the ratings of his new drama were even released.

Who doesn’t like working with dedicated people?

I feel at ease.

"Different."

After thanking him for the tea, Li Luo rolled up his sleeves and said, "SPL is an action movie, so there are a lot of fighting scenes!"

This simple action made Ma Zhongjun's expression look stunned.

His arms were covered in bruises and purples.

It's scary to look at.

"This is what Zhen Zilun left behind."

He lifted up the left side of his T-shirt, revealing a large bruise.

When performing a set of moves.

Confrontation is always unavoidable.

"Brother Hong Baobao."

Li Luo patted his right ribs, where there was also a very obvious scar.

At the beginning, she was covered in wounds, which scared Charmaine Sheh. But later on, she got used to it. After each exercise, she would help apply healing wine.

These scars were left over from the past few days.

Not so fast.

Although they look scary, they are actually just superficial injuries.

Almost everyone in the Zhen family is like this, it's nothing to be surprised about.

But for Ma Zhongjun, it was completely different.

It really scared him.

"Sigh~"

Scalded by the tea, he touched his lips and put down the cup: "Are you filming a movie or fighting? How did it end up like this?"

"It's like hitting and shooting at the same time."

Li Luo smiled and blew the tea into a ripple.

Although I was injured, the trip was worthwhile. Acting with several veteran actors gave me a lot of experience.

“The finished film will definitely be good.”

Ma Zhongjun touched his bald head and gave a thumbs up.

Everyone in the crew devoted themselves to doing this job well, so the result was not bad.

"correct."

He took out a thick script from under the table and placed it in front of Li Luo. "For confidentiality reasons, Hu Zi couldn't come to meet you. This is a gift he asked me to bring to you."

At the top of the cover, the four big characters The Return of the Condor Heroes are particularly eye-catching.

If it weren’t for the senior management of the crew.

There is no access to the script at this time.

Li Luo could understand what they meant. This was a real reassurance to him.

Reach out.

The fingertips gently scraped across the four big characters.

If he can star in another big production like this, he will definitely be able to secure his position as the number one actor in ancient costume drama.

“The shooting period will take about six months.”

Ma Zhongjun lit a cigarette, exhaled smoke and said, "In the early stage, there will be a month of semi-closed training, and the martial arts director will lead the main actors to conduct corresponding martial arts training."

That means it will take a total of seven months.

Pre-shoot training.

This is Zhang Da Huzi’s usual tactic.

Perhaps it was a habit left over from the previous filming of Water Margin, that guy liked to gather the actors together to prepare for the new play.

Improve physical fitness, train riding skills, martial arts, etc.

In fact, in Li Luo's opinion, unified training is a very good move.

It can strengthen the rapport between the actors. When the filming starts, they can basically master the corresponding martial arts movements and horse riding skills, so they don't have to use a double at every turn, and they can even use a wire to hang a double.

The actors also have plenty of time to settle down.

The result will be better.

It’s a good idea, but if the producer doesn’t have enough power, it won’t be implemented at all.

Zhang Zhongzhong naturally has this skill.

But when he heard this, he scratched his nose and looked at Ma Zhongjun.

Things are good.

But when it happens to you, it’s a different story.

He didn't want to waste a month.

"Haha."

The latter flicked off his cigarette ash, shook his head and said with a smile: "This definitely does not include you. How could we not know your skills? But if it is convenient, it is best to go and show your appreciation."

"Anyway, I won't force you to do that."

After watching several costume martial arts dramas, whether it is riding or martial arts moves.

The other parties have fully demonstrated their strength. They will not force others to learn by hanging on wires or stretching their legs.

That's too inhumane!

"Thank you, Brother Ma."

Li Luo raised his teacup to express his gratitude.

“About treatment.”

Ma Zhongjun knocked on the table and asked directly: "I wonder what your request is?"

Thinking back to the last time of 45,000, it was too unrealistic.

In just over a year, he has starred in two hit TV series and has also become the leading actor in a big-budget movie. If we still calculate based on that price, it would undoubtedly be a slap in the face.

Even though The Return of the Condor Heroes is bound to be a hit drama, it still needs the popularity of the other drama to support it.

Hearing this, Li Luo smiled indifferently.

Let me speak first, it seems that he wants to lower the price.

But business is business.

Nothing wrong with that.

"Thanks to Brother Ma and Teacher Zhong for their care."

He raised his teacup and gestured to the other party, saying seriously: "I only have one request, it can't be lower than Li Erpeng's pay in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. As for the rest, you have the final say, Brother Ma."

Ma Zhongjun laughed in silence. Young people are just young people.

Like to fight and win.

However, he was very satisfied with the price offered by Li Luo. Considering the other party's current momentum, he could definitely ask for a higher price.

Asking for this salary now actually means making certain concessions.

"Let's forget about the past."

He picked up the porcelain pot and poured tea for Li Luo: "But at your age, it's time to fight for these things. After all, there are hundreds of boats competing in the same stream, and sometimes you can only move forward and cannot retreat."

"I'll make the decision."

Ma Zhongjun thought for a moment, stretched out his palm and said, “I’ll give you 90,000 per episode.”

In fact, Li Luo’s market situation.

It can seriously reach about 100,000!
This is the first-tier actor's salary, which is lower than Chen Daoming and Chen Baoguo. Although his acting skills are still a certain distance away from those two, the salary is definitely not just based on acting skills.

Market feedback is the most important.

Why was the premiere broadcast on Southern Satellite TV this time, and even the press conference was held in Yangcheng?

Just because of the two words "Li Luo".

The Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties has been aired for the second time on Southern Satellite TV.

The ratings are still firmly in first place, and at the request of the audience, the third round of broadcasts has even been prepared. Now that it has heard that Li Luo's new drama is coming out, Southern Satellite TV naturally spent a large sum of money to buy it.

The ability to sell something is the bottom line.

The price of the first round of sales made Ma Zhongjun smile from ear to ear.

Now Li Luo is being magnanimous.

He was not stingy, so he simply followed his previous idea and doubled his pay compared to that of The Legend of the Condor Heroes!
It's a small advantage.

but.

It is also within the normal range.

Unless an actor has strong bargaining power, the remuneration for starring in Zhang Zhongzhong's plays will be reduced to varying degrees.

"Thank you, Brother Ma."

Li Luo raised his eyebrows and held the other person's hand tightly.

He has no dissatisfaction with this price, which is definitely the pay for a first-tier actor. If he wants such a substantial increase in the future, he will have to wait for the overall environment to improve.

At least in the next two or three years.

The pay of 90,000 per episode is definitely eye-catching.

He was very happy in his heart.

At least for myself, it is another progress.

Although the filming time was twice as long as that of Sha Po Lang, the salary was estimated to be less than one million more.

But sometimes you can't just consider the money. A hit TV series can greatly enhance an actor's personal value. If it weren't for the influence of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, how could I have taken on the Anta advertisement?

The two reached a verbal agreement and agreed on the details.

In the past few days.

Let’s start with the promotion of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

After they return to the capital, they will take the time to finalize the contract for The Return of the Condor Heroes.

After chatting with Ma Zhongjun for a few minutes, Li Luo said goodbye and left the room.

The door had just been closed.

A bright smile appeared on his face.

Before the casting officially started, I had already won the most important role, and then I could sit back and watch others playing various roles. I felt secretly happy just thinking about it.

He patted the script in his hand which was put into the briefcase.

A small whistle was blown.

He took out his cell phone again and looked at the room number sent by Wu Yu, then walked towards the elevator with ease.

Go to the next floor happily.

"Ding~"

After the crisp sound.

The elevator door slowly opened.

A beautiful figure standing outside came into his sight.

A pair of pitch-black high heels with two black ropes winding upward like snakes, tying the white ankles.

Cropped white casual trousers.

Stretch your legs very long.

On the other person, there was a small black suit draped over him.

The temperament is dashing.

Her face is 60% pure and 40% gorgeous, and her bright red lips are as flamboyant as flames.

The woman clasped her hands in front of her chest, and wore a pair of sunglasses on her delicate little face, giving people a sense of distance, as if she was only to be admired from a distance and not to be touched.

Meeting the gaze behind the sunglasses, Li Luo smiled with his white teeth.

This handsome smile.

The beauty who was as cold as an iceberg just now suddenly had a ray of sunshine on her tense lips.

The whole person's temperament also changed.

No longer so tense.

In an instant.

It becomes soft.

"Hello, Luo."

The assistant next to him nodded and greeted him, which made Li Luo realize the existence of a third party.

"Click."

The woman took a step back, her high heels making a crisp sound.

"good evening."

Li Luo walked out of the elevator and first responded to the assistant. Then he looked at the beautiful woman who had given up her seat and said, "Sister Xiao Bingbing, why are you wearing sunglasses so late at night?"

"Is there anything wrong with your brain?"

After pushing Xiaopang down, Fan Bingbing breathed a sigh of relief.

You can hear the next sentence.

She couldn't help but clench her fists.

"Pfft~"

The assistant next to him couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Taking off her sunglasses, Fan Bingbing rolled her eyes at him playfully.
