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

Chapter 319 Visiting the Disciples
Listen to the other person's self-introduction.

Li Luo blinked.

Although she hasn't grown up yet, this little girl is undoubtedly Guan Xiaotong.

Unexpectedly, after Song Zuer's Nezha, another child star appeared before him. I heard in my previous life that the other party had quite good connections in the Beijing circle, and now he could find Jiang Wen to ask for help.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

The little girl, about seven or eight years old, looks quite well-behaved and cute.

One can already tell that he looks a bit like someone from later times, and although he looks quite tired, there is plenty of cleverness in his eyes.

Now that people are here.

It’s worth seeing if the other person is suitable.

"Hello, Xiaotong."

Smiling and shaking hands with the other party, Li Luo gestured to the office and said, "Please come in, have some tea and take a rest first. Xiaowan, go buy some drinks and chocolate for Xiaotong!"

At his greeting, everyone walked into the office.

The assistant also hurried out of the preparation room.

Kids~
Always greedy.

When Guan Xiaotong heard that there were drinks and snacks available, his spirits instantly became lifted.

He no longer looked as tired as before.

At Lin Yue's invitation, everyone sat down on the small sofa. Ning Hao was not idle. He quickly took out the camera from the corner to prepare for the audition.

"Has Xiaotong ever acted in a play before?"

Li Luo opened the jar and took out some top-quality Tieguanyin.

His movements were neither hurried nor slow, and at the same time he looked at Guan Xiaotong carefully.

Just like what Ning Hao said.

The little girl's current image is quite consistent with Xiaomi in the script, with her little face that has not yet grown up and a bit of a bitter look.

How the other party described it before.

The dogtail grass growing alone on the roadside is quite interesting!

“I’ve acted in TV and movies.”

Li Jun looked at the young director in front of her and gently said to add weight to her daughter's reputation: "She played Xiao Qingcheng in The Promise directed by Chen Kaige last year, and her other works were also childhood roles."

As the other party told the story, Guan Xiaotong's resume was quickly made clear.

Really need to count.

This little girl has more acting experience than Li Luo.

At such a young age, he has already starred in dozens of TV series and six movies. The quality of his roles is certainly not as good as Li Luo, but the quantity is far more.

Not very old.

But it can also be called a little drama.

Li Jun was quite confident when talking about her daughter's situation. She felt that Guan Xiaotong would not lose to any other young actor of the same age as long as she could get a fair chance to compete.

He has the ability and good connections.

Of course I am confident.

Li Luo smiled faintly and nodded from time to time to agree with a few words.

I didn’t expect that the little Qingcheng in The Promise was actually played by Guan Xiaotong, which was a bit unexpected.

After chatting with Li Jun for a few words, Li Luo talked about all sorts of things with Guan Xiaotong, wanting to see some real things from the other party. The other party was indeed from a family of performing arts.

No stage fright at all.

When talking about topics of interest, he would talk non-stop.

He has the personality of a kid from Beijing.

He is very talkative.

Here, the difference between the other party and Song Zuer is quite obvious.

The aura he exudes is undoubtedly overwhelming. Although he is quite young, his movements and gestures are graceful and elegant, which is quite outstanding.

The sound condition is relatively poor and slightly hoarse.

This is just right, there is a sense of maturity that is inconsistent with one's age.

There are many advantages.

But there are also disadvantages.

And this shortcoming is quite serious in Li Luo's opinion.

"Miss Li."

Li Luo took a sip of tea and looked at the little girl who was chewing snacks: "How is her Mandarin?"

“It’s actually pretty good.”

Li Jun was a little embarrassed and quickly waved her hands and said, "She speaks too harshly, right? There's nothing I can do about it. She was led astray by her grandfather when she was young. But she's fine when she speaks seriously."

Can you not rush?
When Guan Xiaotong was speaking just now, Li Luo seemed to hear the pigeon whistles in the capital, and the sour bean juice and the boiling stew were all in front of him.

The Beijing flavor is so strong!

At her mother's signal, Guan Xiaotong quickly swallowed the chocolate.

In just a few words, the tone was changed back.

There really isn't anything major to fault with this.

Once the other party has rested enough, this temporarily added audition work will officially begin.

Still the old rules.

Let Guan Xiaotong introduce herself to the camera.

it's here.

The little girl coped with it quite well
There was no stumbling at all like Song Zuer did before, but one was a spur-of-the-moment decision while the other was well prepared, and it's hard to tell which one is good or bad. It mainly depends on their sense of camera and their articulation.

"Xiao Tong."

Li Luo looked through the script and began to make things more difficult for the other party: "Imagine that you stole someone's things, but were caught by a child and his parents."

“The police also arrived at the scene.”

"When facing the police's questioning, you can only pretend to be calm at this time."

"He insisted on pretending that it was his own thing."

"Of course, your clumsy lie was easily exposed. Just when the police officer was asking for your parents' phone number and address, your neighbor suddenly appeared in front of you."

"Besides mom, he's the only person you trust."

"In a panic."

"You can only point to the neighbor uncle."

"I hope he can help you out. I hope he can come and get you out of this mess."

"But at this time."

"But the neighbor uncle turned around and left without even looking back. He didn't care about you at all. You felt like a puppy that was thrown away at will. You also thought that he was disgusted by you and embarrassed you."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Luo paused for a moment and looked at the little girl who was trying hard to digest his words.

Any scenes involving children and animals are extremely difficult to handle, and there is no other reason for this except that it is difficult to achieve effective communication.

Fortunately, given the other party's age, communication is not a big problem.

Just make your words clear.

“That’s a line from the script.”

Li Luo turned to the pages and handed them over: "Think about it for a few minutes, and then try to express the emotions in the middle. Act however you want, there is no frame. By the way, do you know how to read?"

It was not until the other party stretched out his hand blankly that he remembered that Guan Xiaotong was only nine years old.

Let her figure out the plot.

It's so embarrassing!
"Feel sorry."

He took the script back and said with an embarrassed smile: "Come here, I will tell you in detail again."

Hear this.

Li Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how talented my daughter is, it is impossible for her to understand the plot in just a few words. Just now, I almost thought that Li Luo was deliberately making things difficult for her, but now it seems that is not the case.

Guan Xiaotong tried hard to digest the plot while listening to Li Luo's words.

On that little face.

Finally, there was a tension that had not existed before.

But after all, this was not her first time acting. She had worked with more famous directors before. Under the guidance of the big brother director's infectious words, she slowly entered into the emotions of the character.

"Guan Xiaotong's audition, second show, first part."

"Turn it on."

There was no clapperboard in the office, so Ning Hao clapped his hands in front of the camera to make up for the ceremony.

Lin Yue was in charge of the lines: "Did you steal the things?"

silence.

Guan Xiaotong fell into silence.

Although she didn't say anything, her fists were clenched nervously and her eyes were extremely panicked.

A bit superficial.

But it is already many times better than the previous models.

At least she had a show.

"I didn't steal anything."

Guan Xiaotong glanced at Li Luo nervously, and then stammered to Lin Yue, "I just want to see what the difference is with mine."

With her head lowered, she put on the look she usually does at home when she has done something wrong.

"Little boy, it's wrong for you to do this."

Lin Yue glanced at the script and said in a very calm tone: "May I ask where you live and what is your family's phone number?"

Silence fell again.

Guan Xiaotong glanced at Li Luo nervously.

She slowly raised her arm, bit her lip and pointed forward.

"Ok?"

Manager Lin once again responded: "Who is that? Is he your father?"

The girl nodded silently.

Next.

It's her own one-man show.

Guan Xiaotong tried hard to imagine that her father didn't buy her snacks, turned around and left without looking back, and ignored her at all.

Thinking of this scene, her raised arms couldn't help but tremble.

Her eyes turned red, but she didn't cry.

Instead, bury your head deeply.

Just this scene.

It makes people feel pitiful just looking at it.

This series of performances made Li Luo couldn't help but adjust his sitting posture. Although it was not exactly the same as the original owner's performance shown in the storyboard, the effect was exactly the same.

If guided well, children tend to be more likely to give spiritual performances.

These emotions shown by Guan Xiaotong.

to be frank.

Much better than Song Zuer.

At least, this little girl already has her own understanding.

"Crack!"

Ning Hao called a halt to this group of auditions.

Scratch your cheek.

He smiled with satisfaction.

There have been dozens of little girls auditioning during this period, but only a few have been able to achieve this level.

"good."

Li Luo nodded slightly and said to Guan Xiaotong: "Next, could you please make a few expressions in front of the camera? Let us be sad first."

"Very good, smile again."

"sad."

"Can you understand sadness? Your mother went to the zoo without you."

"angry."

"Your mother spanked you."

Under Li Jun's strange expression and Li Luo's guidance, Guan Xiaotong tried hard to make various emotional reactions. Although he was only eight or nine years old, he already understood some things that he should understand.

My mother kept chattering along the way and got up early before dawn to set off.

everything done.

It’s all for this opportunity!
Although she was born into a performing arts family, she also understood that opportunities were hard to come by, and she tried her best to meet the various requirements put forward by this older director.

"OK."

About half an hour passed and Guan Xiaotong looked tired.

Li Luo finally finished the audition.

Li Jun immediately hugged Guan Xiaotong into her arms, rubbed her daughter's face with some heartache, and then looked at the new director nervously.

His fingers tapped slowly on the script in his hands.

Li Luo fell into deep thought.

There is no need to ask for the senior's opinion. This guy was visibly satisfied. Compared with Song Zuer, Guan Xiaotong's appearance and temperament are indeed closer to the image in the script.

The other party's family conditions are excellent, and he can be said to be a child who grew up in a honey pot.

But when I look sad.

But unexpectedly, he looked pitiful and miserable.

compare to.

Song Zuer is too delicate.

In other words, Guan Xiaotong can gain more sympathy from the audience.

The performance was a bit awkward.

But being able to slowly guide and polish the performance on the spot, and having my own understanding and improvisation of acting is already pretty good!

"Are you okay with having your hair cut short and straightened?"

The sound of typing the script paused and Li Luo looked up.

"can."

Li Jun said that was absolutely no problem.

When playing Wuji, it was okay for him to act like a little beggar.

Not to mention it's just a hair cut.

"OK."

Li Luo stood up and walked quickly to the two of them: "Thank you very much, Sister Li and Xiaotong, for coming to the audition. You have worked hard."

"Unkind."

Li Jun quickly held his hand.

Although there is no certainty.

But it is normal for the other party to have some considerations, after all, such an important role is involved.

"Xiao Tong."

Li Luo smiled and squatted down again, showing his palm to the future long-legged girl: "Next, are you interested in filming with big brother?"

"Okay!"

Under Li Jun's delighted gaze, Guan Xiaotong happily high-fived him.

With a crisp sound.

Xiaomi's candidate has been officially finalized.

Since he felt that the other party was suitable, Li Luo stopped hesitating. Although it would disappoint many people, auditions were like this and he had to be ruthless and make various choices.

"Thank you, Director Li. Thank you."

Li Jun looked at his palms hitting each other and thanked him repeatedly with joy.

Different from all the previous roles.

This is the leading lady.

Whether in terms of the depth of the character or the amount of screen time, it is not comparable to those many childhood characters.

Now that I have succeeded, I am so excited that I need not say more.

Not only did she thank Li Luo, she also thanked Ning Hao and Lin Yue in various ways.

I was so happy that I couldn't close my mouth.

Now that the role has been decided.

Let's just go through the formalities directly. Since Li Jun doesn't even want any remuneration, there's nothing worth discussing about the contract terms.

Under the arrangement of the crew.

Li Jun happily signed the performance contract quickly, and the staff also recorded Guan Xiaotong's physical data to prepare for the subsequent costumes and props.

After the most troublesome role was confirmed, Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

After they finished their work, they found a teahouse nearby and treated the other party to Hong Kong-style dim sum to express their gratitude.

Work is work and friends are friends.

Others flew here from far away.

It would be unreasonable not to express your gratitude.

Farewell to mother and daughter.

Li Luo continued with today's work step by step. The BMW Z4 roared around Hong Kong Island, quickly completing one shooting scene after another.

It was not until around 2:00 p.m. that the vehicle stopped in Yau Ma Tei.

The surrounding area is full of residential buildings.

Old. Full of age.

The densely packed windows and the fragmented sky make people feel extremely depressed.

Holding two bags of sugar water in hand.

Li Luo took Liu Wan and walked quickly through the narrow streets.

After wandering around for a long time, I finally saw the staff carrying lighting props upstairs. On the work badges on their chests, the words "Disciples Crew" were clearly visible.

"terribly sorry."

Just as he was about to walk into the corridor, a staff member suddenly jumped out and said, "Sir, you don't live in this building."

"Brother Luo!"

Another loud shout interrupted the groundskeeper's words.

Fan Bingbing's assistant hurried down the stairs and explained from a distance: "I'm sorry, Sister Bingbing was in a critical moment of putting on makeup just now, I should have come downstairs to pick you up earlier."

"It's ok."

Smiling and nodding to the stage manager, Li Luo followed his assistant up the old stairs.

Although the disciples have been turned on for some time.

However, it was not until this morning that Xiaopang officially joined the filming crew.

Based on emotion and reason.

They all come to visit the set to show their support.

Walking up the extremely narrow and dirty stairs, he soon heard noisy shouting. The familiar noise on the set made Li Luo couldn't help but speed up his pace.

"Sister Bingbing, Luo Ge is here."

Fan Bingbing's assistant took the lead and walked into a house near the corridor.

A huge living room.

It was set up as a dressing room for the crew.

There were several dressing tables placed against the wall. Fan Bingbing was sitting on a chair and letting the makeup artist do her makeup. There was a sofa and a coffee table in the middle. A group of people were discussing how to shoot the next scene.

Hearing the assistant's gentle call, everyone who was busy looked up.

That's when.

Li Luo strode in with leisurely steps.

"Hello everyone."

He smiled, picked up the bag in his hand, and quickly looked around: "Is there anyone who wants to drink sugar water?"

"Arlo."

"Li Luo is here! Welcome, welcome."

Li Luo is no longer an unknown person today. With several large bags of sugar water in his assistant's hands, he was immediately greeted with a warm welcome. Everyone stood up regardless of whether they knew him or not.

His status was not high enough to make people go out to greet him, but it could make most people here behave politely.

Putting the sugar water on the table, Li Luo shook hands with Chen Kexin who came forward:

"Hello, producer. Sorry to interrupt your work!"

"do not bother."

Adjusting his glasses, Chen Kexin shook his arm enthusiastically: "I haven't had time to congratulate Mr. Li yet. Crazy Stone has a box office of 62 million. You have created a miracle!"

When talking about this number, the eyes under the lenses.

It's just so brilliant.

At the Academy Awards, when Yu Dong said that he was optimistic that the movie invested by Li Luo could earn 20 million at the box office, he felt that it was a bit of bragging.

But now, it has tripled!!!
"Luck, luck."

Li Luo laughed loudly and waved his hands repeatedly to show that he was not worthy of the credit: "It was just good luck, and it was mainly the director and the actors' credit. I am just an investor!"

"I dare not take credit for this."

Er Dongsheng also extended his hand and said with great appreciation: "Whether you are lucky or not, being able to make money is a sign of strength."

At the Academy Awards.

I just like this junior.

By the way, give Yu Dong face and let him get a role.

But after just a few months of absence, this guy dropped a big bomb on the film market, shocking all his colleagues in the industry. Even the ambitious Dragon Tiger Gate was almost unable to recover from the shock.

This is what Er Dongsheng said and thought.

Can make money.

That is absolute strength.

For this reason, we were very polite when shaking hands.

“Did you invest in that movie?”

Another recognizable voice sounded, and a man who had also stood up from the sofa walked over with interest.

The all-too-familiar hooked nose.

And that very personal walking posture.

Looking across both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau, there is only one person who has remained so popular for so long.

And myself.

This is the real deal!
"Hello, Brother Hua."

Li Luo quickly shook the other person's hand and smiled shyly: "Actually, it's all thanks to the director. I'm glad to see Brother Hua again. I grew up watching your movies."

At the Academy Awards, I was booed by the audience.

The other person was the first senior who gave him encouragement besides the crew members.

Of course you have to be polite.

But his sudden words made the smile on Liu Dehua's face instantly stiffen, and then a burst of laughter suddenly rang out in the living room.

Many people looked at Liu Dehua jokingly.

The veteran superstar shook off Li Luo's hand unhappily and couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Luo."

Another hook-nosed man came over and extended his hand in the same polite manner.

Just the other person's appearance.

Well, definitely comparable to me.

In the movie The Disciple, he contributed the famous saying "Stop when you make 30 million". It was through this saying that Li Luo realized for the first time how exaggerated the housing prices in Hong Kong Island were.

Thirty million Hong Kong dollars is not enough to buy a larger house in a good location in Hong Kong Island.

After a flurry of politeness.

Li Luo asked everyone to open the sweet soup they brought.

When visiting the set, it is best to bring some gifts. There are no requirements on the specific quantity and value, as long as it is about the same. This usually happens from the top to the bottom.

After all the big guys took it.

As for the rest, of course, it’s up to the early bird.

Li Luo smiled and picked up a bowl of sweet potato soup and came to the dressing table, but was so frightened by Fan Bingbing's current appearance that he almost dropped it.

I didn't look closely just now.

Now that I'm closer, I realize that the girl's makeup is extremely horrible.

Just follow.

Ok.

Like being dead for days.

His whole body turned gray and black, and his lips became extremely pale.

"How about it?"

Fan Bingbing didn't care at all. Instead, he smiled and winked at Li Luo: "If I can scare you now, I will definitely be able to scare the audience later, right?"

Not just the face and neck.

Even the fingers, wrists, and any exposed skin were all transformed into this appearance.

Several makeup artists surrounded her.

"That's it."

Er Dongsheng came over with the sugar water in his hand and explained with a smile: "What we are going to shoot next is the scene where Bingbing, the character, overdoses and dies at home. I originally wanted to use a stunt double."

“But there are close-ups.”

"Bingbing said it was no problem, so she went on stage herself!"

In fact, there is no need to explain anything. In Er Dongsheng's opinion, actors should cooperate with the needs of filming.

He only explained a few words because he vaguely guessed the relationship between Li Luo and Fan Bingbing.

And because of Li Luo.

Several sentimental scenes in the script were also deleted.

In fact, his reputation was not so big that it could affect the content of the movie. It was mainly Yu Dong's words that made Er Dongsheng change his mind.

This is to establish a good relationship.

Why make yourself unhappy because of some unimportant details?

"There are also little white mice crawling on me."

Fan Bingbing's smile became a little stiff, but she still nodded firmly and said, "But this performance is very groundbreaking and can bring a greater visual impact to the audience."

“I want to challenge myself!”

It was a rare opportunity to get such an important role, and she would feel sorry for herself if she didn't try her best.

"come on."

Li Luo put down the sugar water steadily.

That scene in The Disciples really had a huge impact on me when I watched the movie.

Any actor who wants to improve herself needs to have this kind of subversive performance, not only for herself, but also to break the vase image in the audience's mind.

Thereby expanding more possibilities.

There is nothing much to say, just choose to support it.

After looking at it for a while and putting on makeup.

Li Luo turned around and sat on the sofa, chatting with the two big directors and the veteran superstar. They were all people in the circle, so it was very necessary to maintain good relationships.

What these people are most curious about is the crazy stone.

Although he has been in the film industry for many years, this kind of box office miracle is still rare.

Li Luo did not hide anything.

He spoke eloquently in front of the crowd without any stage fright.

Able to communicate with seniors in the industry.

He was also very excited.

Especially when there is a veteran superstar sitting next to you and listening to you attentively, this feeling is honestly quite wonderful.

Conversation room.

Fan Bingbing's extremely creepy makeup is finally done.

The filming scene next to it.

Also arranged.

"Director Er."

The props team came over quickly with an iron cage and said with a rather disdainful expression: "The mice have all been painted black and fed. Do you like it?"

In the cage in the other person's hand, there were more than a dozen mice crawling densely.

The squeaking continued.

This scene made Liu Dehua shudder all over.

As soon as he thought about releasing all these mice and letting them crawl all over Fan Bingbing's body, he suddenly felt the urge to spit out the sugar water he had just drunk.

Even if you prepare yourself mentally.

But now seeing these disgusting creatures, Fan Bingbing's face turned even paler and the skin on his arms couldn't help but break out in goose bumps.

people present.

Anyone who sees it will feel physically uncomfortable.

Wu Yanzu rubbed the hairs on his arms and hid far away in an instant.

"Bingbing, try to overcome it."

Chen Kexin scratched his long hair vigorously and smiled with difficulty: "Actually, this is a guinea pig used for drug testing. It's very clean, but it's just painted black. Many people use it as a pet."

Some words just sound hollow when spoken.

Wanting to achieve the effect is one thing, but if he were to do it himself, that would definitely not be allowed.

"I am fine."

Fan Bingbing's voice was trembling: "Give me a few minutes to adjust."

"well."

Er Dongsheng also felt a sense of panic all over his body at this moment, and nodded quickly and said: "It's okay, just adjust your state, don't rush, we just need to finish shooting this scene today and it will be a success."

Throughout the entire movie.

This is the most difficult scene to deal with.

It requires the actors to make great sacrifices, and this psychological barrier is not easy to overcome.

Even though I'm a grown man, I can't accept a bunch of rats crawling on my body.

not to mention.

The other party is an actress known for her beauty.

As long as he could get this shot right, he could accept it even if the entire crew wasted the entire day.

Take a deep breath.

Fan Bingbing walked into the lounge next door with weak steps.

It's one thing to imagine it, but when you actually see a bunch of rats swarming in the iron cage and squeaking, the physical discomfort still quickly surges into your heart like a tide.

This is the first day in the group.

The impact was still quite strong.

However, the crew’s announcement schedule is arranged in advance, so they just do whatever is most cost-effective and convenient.

Any crew.

It won’t give the actors too much time to adapt.

Since he has agreed to go out, Fan Bingbing will definitely not back off at the last minute.

But this is psychological construction!

Have to start over again.

Seeing that Fan Bingbing was staggering, Wu Yanzu hesitated for a moment, but decided to go over to help relieve the pressure. This had nothing to do with love between men and women, as the other party was his acting partner.

It is necessary to help solve this kind of thing together.

But he just moved.

Li Luo followed him in openly and closed the door of the lounge naturally.

“Don’t shoot.”

Er Dongsheng looked at the photographer who was recording the behind-the-scenes footage.

The latter put down the machine knowingly.

Inside the room.

Fan Bingbing was sitting silently in a chair. When she heard the familiar footsteps, she forced a smile and asked, "Do I look particularly ugly now?"

"No."

Li Luo flatly denied it.

He pulled out a chair and sat down with a smile, looking at the girl with great interest: "Well, she is even more beautiful now, just like... just like, forget it, it's just a trick, it's really ugly."

"呲~"

Fan Bingbing couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He clenched his fist and hit Li Luo hard on the chest:
"It's all your fault, you killed me!"

"Please."

Li Luo spread his hands innocently and said seriously: "How can this be called harming others? In fact, the opportunity is very good. If you try to overcome it, you may be able to get a nomination for Best Actress."

"That's not what I'm talking about."

Xiao Pang was so angry that his teeth itched, and he punched him again and again: "It's all your fault for organizing a large-scale roadshow. Now the company requires that Mo Gong also hold a large-scale roadshow when promoting it."

"And I can only have more than you, not less than you."

"You said it was harmful to others!!!"

The film and television industry has always liked to follow trends, and they follow not only the subject matter but also the promotion and marketing methods.

See Crazy Stone eat a big bite of meat in this way.

How could other film and television companies possibly bear it?

No matter whether it is useful or not.

Let’s first find a way to get the actors running.

Because of this, many actors and actresses have privately abused Li Luo. In the past, everyone's work was easy and they only needed to dress up and go to premieres and press conferences.

Attending four or five press conferences is considered conscientious.

Not bad now.

And run like a grandson.

Fan Bingbing's complaint made Li Luo burst out laughing. He felt inexplicably relieved that he could torment these stars who were so arrogant in his own way.

"Do not be afraid."

The girl's makeup made him at a loss as to where to start, so Li Luo could only pull the girl's ear with a smile: "It's just a mouse, what's so scary about it? Have you ever eaten field mouse meat? It's so delicious."

"After filming, how about I take you to eat Dragon Tiger Fight tonight?"

"Yeah, it's a snake."

"It's so crispy and delicious that you'll want to eat more after you finish it."

“You’re so disgusting!!!”

Fan Bingbing stamped his feet repeatedly, his expression couldn't be more disgusted: "You are so disgusting! You are not allowed to eat those things!"

After being interrupted like this, Xiaopang's panic gradually dissipated, and he just focused on punching and kicking the guy who was talking nonsense, which caused laughter in the lounge.
