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

Chapter 398: Also a Little Fan
"Sword Saint, Sword Saint."

"Be careful."

"Run! Fuck you!!!"

The mouse and keyboard were clattering, Chen Chichi ignored Zheng Kai's shouting, and quickly directed his hero to move around, but he was still killed by the blade storm.

"Depend on."

He slammed the mouse, leaned back in his chair in frustration, raised his head and asked, "What did you just say?"

“Audition!!!”

Zheng Kai slid his fingers across the laptop.

Continue reading the news.

"Small idea."

Chen Chichi stretched himself and put a cigarette in his mouth, lighting it with a click: "With our abilities, auditions are a piece of cake, but there are quite a lot of people who received audition notices this time."

"So you think you can beat them?"

Zheng Kai's words almost choked Chen Chichi to death.

Don't talk about those classmates.

Even the little advertising prince lying on the bed did not dare to say that he would definitely win the other party. After all, Zheng Kai had much more experience in shooting than himself.

"Jinming, Hailu, Shuying, Dujiang, etc."

Zheng Kai casually pulled a pillow and propped up his head: "There are also seniors from the previous year and the year before that. They will probably all go to audition. Do you think you have a sure win?"

Take a book.

Zheng Kai opened it with great familiarity, and there were five big words "Why Sheng Xiaomo" on the cover.

After these words.

Chen Chichi completely lost interest in playing games.

Taking a deep puff of cigarette, he also picked up the novel beside him and scratched his head and said, "I have read all the books. Li Luo is too popular. His drama gives me the feeling that everyone wants to be in it now."

“Even the movie ‘Painted Skin’ wasn’t discussed that much.”

He saw more than one or two people holding the book "Why Sheng Xiaomo" in the school.

Related plot discussion.

It is often heard in restaurants.

He thought with his butt, knowing that others were also preparing for auditions.

"Ah."

Zheng Kai couldn't help but let his mind wander, and said with longing on his face: "The movies you made have box office of over 100 million yuan and are so popular. It seems that Li Luo is only three or four years older than us, right?"

"The range of actors available for acting is extremely high."

"Let alone us, he even pairs up with seniors from Ren Yu's class and there's no sense of incongruity."

"Moreover."

Zheng Kai smacked his lips and said with envy: "Li Luo, a Beijing Film Academy student, is too good. The New Shanghai Bund is very popular now. His last starring TV series was The Return of the Condor Heroes!!!"

"Movies, I guess there will be risks."

"In a TV series, no one doubts that Li Luo might fail."

Speaking of it.

His eyes were full of envy.

I don’t know if I can be half as successful as Li Luo when I’m 25.

Chen Chichi also became completely quiet. Although he was not very interested in the story of the novel, he still forced himself to focus on it and tried to familiarize himself with the role he might be able to compete for.

A strong record of battles brings great fame.

Although Li Luo had only played the role of an actor in TV dramas before, he proved his directorial ability with the movie "Raging Fire".

Movies can be played.

There is no reason to stall on TV dramas.

Just as Zheng Kai said, no one doubted that Li Luo would fail in this TV series.

The only difference is.

How popular it was after it was filmed.

Given this reason, plus the many characters that appear in the novel, and most importantly the fact that the drama was filmed in Shanghai, which inevitably requires the use of a large number of actors from here, it is no surprise that it has received such high attention.

Even if he only played a small supporting role in the film, he received extraordinary attention.

Turn the pages.

Chen Chichi began to read the book seriously.

Continue to make preparations for tonight's audition.

Even if the family has strong connections in the circle, which young person doesn't want to carve out a path of his own with his own hands?

The dormitory of Shanghai Theatre Academy became quiet.

The fan whistled.

Bring some coolness to the summer.

In an art park in Shanghai, a group of people were walking quickly on a street full of artistic atmosphere under the setting sun. Ding-dong sounds kept coming from the front, as if it was a construction site.

In fact, it is indeed under renovation.

Various construction materials were piled up on the street, and workers were busy making various arrangements.

The chaotic footsteps stopped.

The leader looked towards the door, where two workers were installing a sign with the words "Yuan Xianghe Law Firm" in large letters, each character sparkling in the sun.

"Arlo."

Several people walked out of the factory building in front of them. The middle-aged man leading the group walked up to them with a smile on his face. “Congratulations, congratulations. The box office has successfully exceeded 100 million. Can you feel relieved now?”

"Uncle Zhang, thank you for your hard work."

Holding Zhang Guoli's hand, Li Luo took the helmet with a smile: "There's nothing to worry about. It's just a number anyway."

Eyes move.

He looked curiously at the woman standing behind Zhang Guoli, who was almost unable to hold back her smile.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Zhang Guoli also had a toothache, and didn't know what to complain about. He could only step back and raise his hand and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Cai Yinong, President of Tangren Films."

“She’s a strong woman in our industry.”

"Hello, Mr. Li, thank you for the compliment, Mr. Guoli!"

Cai Yinong calmed himself down a bit, then quickly extended his hand forward with a smile: "Nice to meet you. I came here today to learn about your company's production experience. I hope I don't think it's too presumptuous."

"Also, congratulations on your movie's box office success. Congratulations, congratulations."

"Mr. Cai, I have long heard of your name."

Li Luo firmly held the woman's hand and spoke politely, "Thank you, thank you. Actually, we can learn from each other. In terms of ancient costumes and fantasy dramas, Mr. Cai is the one I should learn from."

This pretty sugar man boss in front of me is indeed worthy of the title of strong woman.

I have worked with the beautiful producer Li Mi before.

In front of each other.

It's just a little fuss.

Although Tangren Film and Television has not achieved much in the film industry, in the field of TV dramas, especially in the area of ​​ancient idol dramas targeting young people, Cai Yinong has delivered a very impressive report card.

Works such as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Fairy from the Other World" are still quite impressive.

But the woman in front of him had a hint of sadness between her brows.

Li Luo also knew the other party's troubles.

The company's leading male artist was involved in a serious car accident shortly after the filming of a big production controlled by the company began. This is an extremely heavy blow to any film and television company.

At this time, Cai Yinong was undoubtedly a man of great loyalty and righteousness.

She would rather wait for Hugo to recover.

Nor is he willing to change the protagonist.

As the boss of a film and television company, Li Luo knows how much pressure this kind of thing brings. Adjustments have to be made to the venue, personnel, props, schedule, etc., and the loss is not just energy.

And a lot of money.

Although I appreciate the other person's behavior, it's from the boss's perspective.

He felt that the other party was extremely irrational.

"correct."

After saying hello, Li Luo asked curiously, "How is Hu Ge recovering from his injury now?"

Although I have never dealt with Li Xiaoyao.

But we are all actors and have experienced the dangers of filming.

It's only natural to show some concern.

"pretty good."

Cai Yinong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your concern. He has almost recovered and should be able to resume filming at the end of August. I just don't know how he is doing."

"That's good, that's good."

Li Luo made a few polite remarks and then turned around to introduce the employees of his company.

Lin Yue, Sun Jie and others followed.

Managers of all sizes in the company must be aware of the various conditions of the project so that they will not be confused when doing their work.

After a greeting.

Li Luo put on his safety helmet swiftly.

Led by Zhang Guoli, they walked into the large factory rented by the crew.

In addition to scouting and selecting locations, the crew also has to find a way to create the scenery. Exterior scenes can be shot on location outside, but there is no way to shoot many interior scenes. You can't really rent a law firm.

Those big law firms don't lack these little things.

Renting a factory to build a photo studio yourself is the most time-saving and labor-saving method.

"This is the office."

After unscrewing the bottle of mineral water and taking a sip, Zhang Guoli gestured in front of him and said, "That's the Treasure Magazine Office. Look, that corner is the western restaurant. The basic framework has been decorated."

"After a couple of days of cooling off, the props team can come in and arrange the details."

This was not the first time Li Luo came here.

Even the location was decided by him.

despite this.

He still walked forward with great interest.

But to Sun Jie and his group, the scene before them was even more novel. This was a large factory building similar to the 798 Industrial Park, which was decorated into several areas with very different styles.

The Yuan Xianghe Law Firm, where He Yichen works, is generally serious and well-organized.

All objects are placed in a very orderly manner.

Move towards business style.

Zhao Mosheng works at Guibao Magazine.

It exudes casualness.

The western restaurant has a kind of exquisiteness of Shanghai. Workers are installing western-style wall lamps to make the style more complete. There are several similar scenes.

All this background looks extremely fragmented.

This is a Western restaurant, and if you walk a distance to the side it becomes a law firm.

But it doesn't affect the shooting.

It's just a trick.

The audience only sees what is presented in the camera.

“Don’t be afraid to spend money.”

Li Luo walked casually among the scenes, saying without looking back: "As long as the money is spent wisely, I will accept it even if I lose money in the end. The next scene arrangement must be done carefully."

"Use your connections to have colleagues from the props team visit law firms in Shanghai and record their decorations."

"It's not okay for outsiders to watch the fun."

"Those insiders look like a joke."

He waved his finger and pointed to the area of ​​​​Guaibao Magazine: "The magazine is easier to deal with. We can just arrange it according to the well-known magazines in the industry. But there is one thing to note, we can't just copy it."

“You have to come up with your own style.”

"After all, this is a TV show. We need to be professional and fresh for the audience."

"for example."

After he stopped walking, Li Luo turned around and looked at the head of the props team: "What kind of conference table are you going to use for the magazine meeting?"

Seven or eight people behind him stood still.

Everyone looked at the prop master who was busy recording.

"Uh."

The pen in the latter's hand stopped, and he said thoughtfully: "The oval conference table, the kind with simple patterns carved on it, looks more casual and artistic in the atmosphere of the magazine."

Props are not a simple job, they must be able to provide good assistance to the director in scene arrangement.

He can't do his job well.

The pictures taken will have a cheap feel.

"Ah."

Li Luo nodded, put his hands on his hips and said, "Your idea is indeed good, but it's boring. Why does a conference table have to be a conference table? Can you put a ping-pong table here?"

"what???"

The prop master was in a mess.

He couldn't figure out what the billiard table had to do with the conference table.

"Open your mind."

With a big wave of his hand, Li Luo continued to walk forward: "This is the reception area. Let's put a billiard table next to it. We can combine leisure and work together. Of course, the artistic sense of the magazine must also be reflected."

"How can we express it specifically? Don't just think about oil paintings or busts. Can we get an old antique bicycle?"

"An old record player?"

"You need to be able to play with the petty bourgeoisie style of Shanghai!"

The prop master's eyes lit up after hearing the burst of words.

this style.

It was his first time trying it.

"Silent Separation" was actually produced several years later. Many of the scene arrangements in the storyboards were put into the present day of 07. To put it in an exaggerated way, it was an aesthetic dimensionality reduction attack.

This is just the scene setting.

Before the actors' makeup and styling had even started, Cai Yinong could be heard nodding repeatedly.

I felt that I had made the right decision to come here today. This extremely young director is really capable.

At least.

The aesthetic aspect is definitely on point.

Every word sounded fresh to her.

Li Luo was too busy to take care of the sugar man boss for the time being, and continued to make various requests to the prop master. It was common for colleagues to go to other crews to learn from them, which could be understood as a kind of behind-the-scenes visit.

Even if you want to pay attention to the other person, you have to finish your work first.

Don't delay doing your work.

The prop master did not show any impatience. Planning and arranging the shooting scenes is the director's job. All he needs to do is help the director set up the scenes.

On set.

No one would complain that the director is too long-winded.

In fact, everyone is more afraid that the director will remain silent and not know what they want.

When you do something wrong, they will scold you.

That situation is even more fucked up.

After walking back and forth in this huge factory for nearly half an hour, Li Luo finally stopped. The notebook in the prop master's hand was filled with notes containing all the key points of various arrangements.

"Brother Luo."

Liu Wan handed over the opened bottle of mineral water.

"Thank you."

After taking a sip from the water bottle, Li Luo looked at Cai Yinong with a smile, "Mr. Cai, I'm really sorry for the delay!"

"it's okay no problem."

Cai Yinong waved his hand and said that it didn't matter: "I came here today to learn from others. I benefited a lot from Director Li's ideas just now. By the way, I have an acquaintance in the law firm."

"I just heard Director Li say that he wanted to find a law firm to learn from."

"Do you need help making contact?"

"Okay!"

Li Luo took the olive branch with a smile, screwed on the bottle cap and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Cai to help me solve my urgent problem right away. How about letting me treat you to a meal in return?" He was very happy to be able to find Zhang Guoli at this time, and come to visit him exactly when he returned to Shanghai.

This is another situation of favors that cannot be avoided.

He decided to just do it.

"No."

Cai Yinong shook his head quickly and said with a smile: "Since we are in Shanghai, of course I should be the one to entertain Director Li. If you don't mind, how about I arrange the evening?"

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

Li Luo thought about it, then smiled and stretched out his hand.

After the two parties exchanged private numbers, Cai Yinong quickly said goodbye and left with his men.

Looking around, the employees around understood and walked away.

Zhang Guoli took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Luo. After Li Luo waved his hand to refuse, he put it in his mouth and said, "Eat and drink. You don't have to pay a penny anyway. If the conditions are right, use it. If the conditions are not right, refuse it."

"You are busy, and I am busy too."

"But in our line of work, some personal connections are unavoidable."

"We are filming in Shanghai."

Zhang Guoli lit up a cigarette and happily exhaled a long puff of smoke: "You said you didn't even give me the courtesy of having a meal. That's unacceptable."

Although the Shanghai circle is not as united as the Beijing circle.

The power is also dispersed.

Even many actors from Shanghai Theatre Academy have to find their way in the Hong Kong and Beijing circles.

But it is always a small circle.

The sugar man also plays a very important role here.

It can't be said that he was paying a visit, but others had come to invite him personally, so it would be inappropriate not to go to the banquet, especially at this juncture. Li Luo didn't want to be blamed for the rising box office.

Smiling, he strode into the afterglow of the sunset.

Five forty in the evening.

Lao Zhengxing Restaurant.

In the VIP box, a faint scent of tea wafted in the air.

Cai Yinong slowly picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for each of the two people sitting opposite him.

"Thank you, Ms. Cai."

The man and woman on the opposite side thanked them one after another.

"how to say."

Cai Yinong put down the teapot and tapped the tea table with his fingers: "In fact, the company is not without opportunities, but we should expand outside when there is an opportunity. It will be a good thing for the company and for you."

“Now is a great opportunity.”

"Xinghuo Films' "Silent Separation" has attracted a lot of attention. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is actually a youth idol drama."

Picking up the teacup, Cai Yinong took a sip carefully: "To be honest, this is the first time that Li Luo has tried this kind of subject matter, but no one would doubt whether it can work. In fact, I have long believed that he should shoot this kind of TV series."

“The appearance is so good!”

After gulping down her tea, she continued softly, "This TV series will definitely attract a lot of viewers, even for the supporting roles. You two should pay attention later."

"Got it, Sister Cai."

"Ok."

The man and woman opposite nodded in response.

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out."

Putting down the teacup, Cai Yinong said with a serious expression: "Li Luo has been very strong in recent years. He can't get any roles, so it's not a bad thing for us to be friends. Of course, we have to be careful about some things."

His eyes rolled.

His eyes fell on the pretty and gentle face of the woman opposite him.

The latter knew that he was being talked about.

Nodded again.

Cai Yinong looked at the clock on the wall and continued to pour tea slowly.

Although she wanted to get the role in that drama, she was not a boss who would trade with the company's artists, so she gave the reminder in a rather subtle way.

It felt very good to interact with Li Luo today.

But it is like this.

It made her feel that the other person was a little evil.

In the past, the news about Li Luo was either about to quarrel with someone or about to fight with someone. The photos of him covered in blood can be found on the Internet. He clearly has the image of a thorny person.

But after today's contact, it turned out to be completely different.

To be honest, she was a little nervous that the bloody and violent person and the youthful and sunny person could appear in the same person.

Liu Shishi and Yuan Hong looked at each other.

They were also a little nervous.

Although he knew that Li Luo was about the same age as him, he felt like he was meeting an important person, especially Liu Shishi. When he was studying in the capital, he was still following the novel "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

That guy.

At that time, he had already become very famous for his role as Zhang Wuji.

Coupled with the power of the billionaire director now, of course I feel a little excited and a little nervous.

"Dong dong."

A crisp knock on the door echoed throughout the box.

Several people inside looked up at the screen at the same time.

"Please come in."

Cai Yinong stood up quickly.

And walked quickly towards the door of the box.

The others hurriedly followed, and for a while the sound of chairs moving could be heard continuously.

Laughter arrives before anyone arrives.

Amid the hearty laughter, the light and shadow of the screen swayed, and a tall and handsome figure suddenly appeared in Liu Shishi's eyes. Her breath was held in place by his sunny smile.

Even though I have seen many handsome boys, it is hard to find one as handsome as this one.

It is rare indeed.

The girl’s mind quickly emerged with the image of Zhang Wuji walking out of the water, with clear water splashing down his extremely strong abdominal muscles and his mermaid line seemed to be greeting her.

For Liu Shishi, who was still a sixteen-year-old girl at the time.

It brings an unparalleled impact.

So much so that when I see the real person now, I can still recall the same teenage excitement I had back then.

In other words.

She used to be a little fan!
"Feel sorry."

Li Luo strode into the box, smiled and looked around, and politely shook Cai Yinong's hand: "I hope I didn't keep you waiting for so long, Mr. Cai. I'm really sorry, mainly because I have to audition actors tonight."

“So time is tight.”

"No no no."

The latter shook his head repeatedly, looking extremely embarrassed: "Actually, I am the one who disturbed Director Li. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule."

Cai Yinong actually played a little trick here.

What she wants is today. Meeting in a few days will have a different effect.

As a veteran, Cai Yinong is well aware that directors have a good eye for talent. Whenever casting begins, the other party will be presented with several or even dozens of actors of the same type.

Some of the subtle qualities of the actors at that time.

will be rapidly weakened.

But if you want to seize this opportunity, you can arrange for your own artists to meet first.

A preconceived subconscious mind will be formed.

Let’s talk about the conditions again.

The chance of getting the character is definitely much higher.

"Teacher Guoli."

She shook hands with Zhang Guoli again, then smiled and stepped aside: "It seems a bit lonely for the three of us to have dinner together, so I might as well ask the company's artists to come over and liven things up. Do you two mind?"

"Hello, Luo."

Liu Shishi stepped forward and stretched out her hands with a sweet smile: "My name is Liu Shishi, nice to meet you."

"Hello."

Li Luo happily held the other person's hand without any dissatisfaction.

Looking at this pretty little face.

He couldn't help but think of a piece of gossip. It was said that the other party was Tang Ren's substitute for Zhao Linger, who he loved but couldn't get. He planned to create a little Liu Qianqian, who now looked somewhat similar.

However, compared with Liu Qianqian, Liu Shishi's overall temperament is more gentle.

His appearance is rather delicate.

"Hello, Luo."

Another guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes also stepped forward and extended his hands very politely: "It's great to meet Luo Ge. Congratulations on your movie's box office success. I have watched "Raging Fire" several times."

"That scene where you pointed the gun at me later was so well acted!"

"By the way, my name is Yuan Hong."

“I hope I can have the opportunity to learn more from Luo Ge.”

As a male actor, he has a natural disadvantage at this time. He can only find ways to tickle Li Luo's itch. Saying a few more nice words is nothing and is the cheapest contribution in the circle.

"There's nothing to learn."

Releasing the other person's hand, Li Luo said with a cheerful smile: "After two or three days of not sleeping, your emotions will definitely be in place."

stunned for a moment.

Laughter of agreement soon rang out in the box.

After greeting Zhang Guoli, everyone moved to the tea table next to the dining table.

This kind of reception can be enjoyed right away, or it can be enjoyed while having tea and chatting to whet the appetite first. Anyway, Li Luoke goes with the host's wishes. There are still nearly two hours before the audition, so he is not in a hurry.

But when he sat down, he was very keenly aware of something strange.

Liu Shishi and Yuan Hong are both actors, but the way they are dressed at this moment does not look like an actor or star at all.

The former was wearing casual trousers and a white shirt.

Then tie your hair into a high ponytail.

She had light makeup on her face and looked very neat and tidy.

Yuan Hong wore trousers and a shirt.

The leather shoes are shiny.

The guy's short hair was combed meticulously, the kind of slicked-back hair that Li Luo usually liked to have. He sat upright, trying hard to bring out his energy.

The way they were dressed at this moment didn’t look like actors.

It's better to say yes.
Tapping his fingers, Li Luo thanked Cai Yinong for the tea.

Unexpectedly, the other party arranged a subtle audition for him. He slowly picked up the teacup with a faint smile on his face: "If someone who doesn't know sees this posture."

"I thought we were having a business negotiation?"

"Haha~"

Li Luo chuckled and took a sip of tea: "You two are like big lawyers. You look quite stylish."

Cai Yinong paused holding the teapot.

I thought to myself, this is terrible.

As expected, none of the people who can make it in life are simple. I underestimated the other person's age, but I didn't expect that my little trick would be seen through in an instant.

This kind of guy who became famous at a young age definitely doesn't like the feeling of being arranged.

Light words.

Yuan Hong felt nervous when he heard this.

"Thank you Luo Ge."

Liu Shishi was completely unaware and was still happily thanking him.

The old fox Zhang Guoli almost spit out his tea, but fortunately he had been through big scenes many times and could not see anything unusual.

"Feel sorry."

Putting down the teapot, Cai Yinong looked at Li Luo with a serious face: "I am sorry to make a fool of myself, Director Li. In fact, besides inviting you to dinner tonight, I do have some other ideas."

"Everyone knows that your company is planning to film "The Silent War", and it is also clear that you are looking for suitable actors."

"I wanted to bring Shishi and Yuan Hong here so that Director Li could meet them."

"If you think the image is suitable."

"You might as well consider it."

"It doesn't matter if it's not suitable. Let's just have a happy meal and treat it as making friends."

Now that it has been pointed out, just come clean.

On the contrary, it seems upright.

Even though Liu Shishi was slow to react, she realized something was wrong, and her little face tensed with nervousness.

He looked around, not daring to breathe.

Li Luo continued to sip his tea, his eyes fell on Liu Shishi and Yuan Hong again, and he looked at the two people's attire carefully.

You know what, it looks quite good.

The former is, after all, one of the four young actresses, although she looks a little green now.

But the presentation is very impressive.

Her face is extremely pretty, her waist is so slender that it seems that she can close it with both hands, her chest draws a perfect arc, and the color of her bra can be faintly seen from under the white shirt.

It made him feel itchy.

As for Yuan Hong, he is also a talented supporting actor of the new generation, so it won't be a problem for him to play a role in such a drama.

While he was thinking, the box was so quiet that he could hear his breathing.

Everyone's attention was on him.

"Gudu."

Li Luo raised his arm and drank up the tea in the cup.

Glance to the side.

He looked at Zhang Guoli with a smile.

It's not enough to just talk about it, now is the time to ask for benefits. If you want to take away the big supporting role, it is impossible without paying a price.

"Feel sorry."

The latter put down the cup with a smile, stood up slowly and said:
"You guys chat, I'm going to the bathroom."

See this situation.

A smile broke out on Cai Yinong's face.

As long as the other party doesn't refuse outright, things will go in a good direction.

As the boss of a well-known film and television company, she actually didn't need to go to such lengths, but her leading male star had a serious accident, although Hu Ge recovered well.

But when filming, I have no idea what the situation is like.

If she could get a major supporting role in Li Luo's play, it would be killing two birds with one stone for her.

It can stabilize the morale of its artists.

It can also maintain the upward trend.

Although she knew that she would have to pay some price, as long as Li Luo did not ask for too much, the benefits would outweigh the disadvantages for her.

Neither Yuan Hong nor Liu Shishi are stupid.

I immediately found an excuse to leave.

As the footsteps disappeared, the door closed gently and the box became quiet again.

"Mr. Cai."

This time, it was Li Luo who picked up the teapot and poured some for the other party with a smile: "Tea, tea, this tea tastes pretty good, let's drink a few more cups, don't waste it!"

"it is good."

Looking at this guy's smile, Cai Yinong's eyes twitched.

Although this result was what he wanted, the tea table in front of him suddenly turned into a pig-killing table.

That's it.

I lay down there on my own initiative.

The sugar man boss couldn't help but burst out laughing and gulped down the tea of ​​unknown taste.
