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

Chapter 422: Ou Tai Visits the Set

Chapter 422: Ou Tai Visits the Set
A figure flashed, and Zhang Guoli was the first to walk into the house.

Following closely behind was a middle-aged man with a square face. The man was dressed simply and looked plain, with a faint smile on his lips, giving people the impression that he was quite harmless.

But it was this person who made many people who knew him stand up quickly.

Greet with a smile.

"Outai."

Zhang Guoli waved at those people, then gestured inside and said, "I'm really sorry, the crew has limited time to shoot here every day, otherwise Li Luo and I would go to greet you in person!"

"Look what you said."

The man first smiled and nodded to the people who stood up to greet him, and then looked at the layout inside with great interest: "I am here to visit the set, not for any leadership inspection."

"Of course the crew has to focus on filming, why bother with those useless things?"

"You are the leader!"

Zhang Guoli chuckled cheerfully and complimented him casually.

Although there were many people in the house and photographic equipment was piled up everywhere, it was quite simple yet elegant, and it also had an exquisite decoration that was still very interesting to look at.

However, he quickly retracted his gaze and followed Zhang Guoli to the kitchen where the most people were gathered.

He looked inside with great curiosity.

"The seat is fine."

"Open the mic, open the mic, everyone silent."

At the assistant director's shouts, the whole house quickly became quiet, and even the staff who were resting in the living room did not dare to make loud noises.

In the kitchen at this time.

Two or three cameras were pointed at the gas stove at various angles.

The operator operators either squatted or climbed high up, controlling the cameras in all kinds of awkward postures, and the lights and sound equipment were almost hung up!
This is what it’s like when shooting in a small space. There isn’t enough room for them to move around. It’s okay if the shooting time is short, but if it’s a little longer, it’s normal to feel numbness in your hands and feet.

In front of the gas stove, Li Luo straightened his rolled-up sleeves.

He weighed the wok in front of him.

Then he played with the shovel in some random ways.

Next to him were chopped peppers, pickled pork, and crescent-shaped tomatoes. The eggs had already been beaten, and the green vegetables were still dripping with water. Of course, there were also the sour beans that the crew had worked so hard to find.

There's no way, our young director is quite easy to serve.

But just one thing.

You have to eat something sour from time to time.

The stage manager had to run to several vegetable markets before he could buy the pickled sour beans.

Except these.

There are also ingredients such as garlic, ginger, and onions.

What he saw before him was both the filming and his dinner today.

I've been hungry for a long time.

Li Luo couldn't hold back any longer!

After a soft sound of starting the machine, he immediately lit the fire to heat the pan, poured the chopped sour beans in, and slowly fried them until the moisture was dry.

Performance is life, and life is also performance.

it's here.

He just needs to concentrate on cooking.

There is no need to consider the opponent's reaction, nor is there a need for NGs and retakes.

A little editing later.

It also adds to He Yichen's image as a good family man.

He is handsome, has a good figure, is an excellent student, is loyal, and is not only invincible in the workplace, but can also handle housework with ease. With so many halos, even the current cheesy idol dramas are not enough to beat him.

Under the gaze of everyone, Li Luo, wearing a cute apron, began to stir-fry skillfully.

Fry the sour beans until cooked and pour them out.

Wash the pot.

Heat the pan again and add oil.

Throw the minced garlic and other ingredients into the pot, then pour the marinated pork in with a sizzling sound.

After stir-frying until oily, add the chili pepper.

Finally add the sour beans.

He casually lifted the handle of the pot and a huge fire suddenly rose from the pot, scaring many people watching outside so much that they almost screamed out loud.

Li Luo was not in a hurry and continued to balance the pot skillfully.

As his wrist trembled.

Pork, chili peppers, and sour beans are frying over the raging fire.

Even though the range hood was whirring, it couldn't block out the aroma that was bursting out. The dry, fragrant, sour and spicy smell quickly spread from the kitchen, causing everyone to swallow their saliva.

At this moment, Liu Shishi had no doubt at all about what Huang Shengyi had just said.

That's the smell I'm smelling right now.

There’s no way it couldn’t be delicious.

Leather shoes, trousers, a rolled-up white shirt, and a cute apron on the outside, Li Luo's current outfit, which is both professional and homely, makes girls' hearts beat fast.

What emanates from the other person is a strong sense of security.

did not expect.

Luo Ge can actually cook~
As the flames continue to rise, home-cooked dishes come out steaming fresh from the oven.

Just this neat move.

This made Director Ouyang's eyes more interested.

actor.

The most important thing is of course acting.

But from these small details, we can judge a person's living conditions.

At the very least, this popular young actor, director, and owner of a film and television company, this handsome guy has experienced some things in a down-to-earth way and has walked step by step from an ordinary person to where he is today.

He is not the kind of artist who wishes he had five or six assistants to serve him on the crew and is already too proud to care about others.

To the latter.

Director Ouyang had no objection.

Others have that crappy money and can do whatever they want with it.

But it is obvious that he prefers artists who have not lost their true colors.

The spirit of doing things in a down-to-earth manner.

I like it just by looking at it.

When Li Luo poured the stir-fried pork with chili peppers out of the pan, a crackling sound was finally heard. Those guys who were choking on the chili peppers immediately took a deep breath, followed by coughing one after another.

"Hahaha."

Li Luo smiled and wiped his hands with a towel, then gestured to the props, "Hurry up and change the scene, otherwise the food will get cold and won't taste good."

"Okay~"

The prop chef immediately swallowed his saliva and walked forward, picking up the cooked dishes skillfully.

The steamed turbot was taken out carefully.

The stewed pork ribs and corn soup was also served into the steaming bowl.

When shooting this kind of scene, there is no need to watch the playback, the camera only needs to record the entire process of cooking.

Just wait for the editing later.

"Arlo."

Zhang Guoli took a step back to let the staff who were serving the dishes start, and waved to the kitchen, "Come here first, this is Director Ouyang Changlin of Hunan Province Mango TV."

Lord Ji Xiaolan's words made everyone standing in the front turn their heads.

Not just because of Mango TV.

The name Ouyang Changlin is really well-known.

In the domestic television industry.

This is definitely a legendary figure.

Mango TV co-produced "My Fair Princess", introduced "Dae Jang Geum", and operated the grassroots talent shows "Super Girl" and "Happy Boy" to the point that other TV stations were jealous, and it also had hosts who were like idol groups.

These big moves cannot be achieved without the promotion of the other party.

The Hunan Cultural Army, led by Ouyang Changlin, has been conquering the domestic television market.

It can be said that the record is impressive.

This middle-aged man can be said to have made an indelible contribution to Mango TV's ability to become the dominant local provincial TV station and to establish an entertainment empire in the future.

He is the most awesome person at the helm of a local satellite TV station apart from CCTV.

It attracted looks of astonishment and surprise.

It's no wonder.

"Outai."

Throwing the towel aside, Li Luo strode forward: "Welcome to the crew of "Why Sheng Xiaomo", I'm really sorry, I should have gone with Uncle Zhang to greet you."

"Don't say that."

Ouyang Changlin smiled and held his hand, shaking it vigorously: "I came here today just to learn from the experience, Director Li, you should just be busy."

"The crew's work still has to come first."

"Don't."

Li Luo also smiled brightly and quickly shook his head and said, "Ou Tai is an old senior, I should learn from your experience, you can just call me A Luo, by the way, this is Huang Shengyi, the leading female character in the play."

"Liu Shishi, the right-hand man of Mr. Cai, the Sugar Man."

During his introduction, Huang Shengyi and Liu Shishi hurried forward to greet him politely.

Not just the old-timers.

The other party is also a potential big customer.

Movies are directly sold to the audience, but when producing TV series in China, the major TV stations are the buyers. If Li Luo had not been too busy to spare the time, he would definitely have gone down to greet the other party.

The show started filming a little over a month ago, and this is the first potential customer to visit the set.

It can never be overemphasized.

Zhang Guoli had previously explained to him the purchasing and sales situation of the domestic TV drama market. For those small and medium-sized dramas, the only way for production companies to sell the dramas is to promote them.

It should be promoted not only in the media, but also at major film and television trade shows.

To attract the attention of the film purchasing departments of major TV stations.

They use all kinds of connections, drink, or make deals behind the scenes to try to sell the series they have worked so hard to shoot. They don’t care whether it can be broadcast or not, at least they have to sell it to make some money back.

But the head drama.

It was another experience.

With promising market prospects and star-studded performance lineups, top dramas often become the object of competition among major TV stations.

After all, TV stations also need top dramas to attract ratings.

There are no good dramas.

How can we attract advertisers? If we can’t attract advertisers, how can we feed the hungry mouths all over Taiwan?

So once it is confirmed that certain episodes have the potential to become a big hit.

During the shooting stage.

Leaders of various TV stations will come out one after another.

These leaders came to visit the set not only to establish good relations in advance, but also to observe the filming situation. Although what they saw was not the same as what was edited, they were able to observe some clues.

I thought the person coming from Mango TV would be the director of the film purchasing department.

Unexpectedly, it was the person at the helm who would go out in person.

This really surprised Li Luo.

After introducing the actors, he shook hands with Ouyang Changlin's entourage one by one. Finally, he enthusiastically led the visitors to visit the set and introduced the corresponding plot and potential audience of the series.

At this time, we need to talk about creating art, but more importantly, we need to show selling points.

Attract more sellers’ interest.

The higher the price you can sell "Fall in Love with You Again" for.

No money to make.

Everything you talk about is fake.

After showing this industry big shot around, Li Luo arranged for Ouyang Changlin to sit behind the monitor. He would introduce things when necessary, but he must be more cautious when it came to getting down to work.

The most important thing is to shoot the scene well, the rest are just trivial matters.

"Add a light on top."

"Mosheng, you sit opposite me, He Yimei sits next to her. You have to eat and drink for real later, and don't speak your lines vaguely. This is a good treatment, you should be glad that it's not some stale food!"

"Here's a camera position, hurry up."

"Wait a minute, there's no heat left!"

Coming to the dining table, Li Luo started giving instructions quickly and the crew members quickly made the final adjustments.

"Director Li."

Sitting down with his mouth watering, Huang Shengyi couldn't wait to grab the chopsticks: "Are you worried that the food is not hot anymore, or do you want to eat a few bites quickly? How about I help you taste it first?"

As he spoke, he quickly picked up the chopsticks and picked up the stir-fried pork with sour beans.

"Ow~"

Li Luo's brain popped up like lightning, causing the girl to rub her head with a grin. He withdrew his hand expressionlessly: "You have no manners at all. You dare to use your chopsticks before the director even sits down."

"You are so disrespectful, you want to make trouble, right?"

Ouyang Changlin watched all this calmly. He didn't expect that the young director who was so friendly just now would suddenly become a tyrant on the set.

But it's true, it's a pity not to have a temper at such a young age.

It's hard to control the situation.

"Good for you!!!"

Huang Shengyi gritted his teeth, picked up the chopsticks, and was about to stand up to hit Li Luo.

"Cough~~~"

Zhang Guoli coughed violently.

This put an end to the daily farce on the set.

Noticing Liu Shishi's sly smile and the staff members nearby who couldn't help laughing, Ouyang Changlin couldn't help but laugh softly, then crossed his legs casually.

“These young people.”

Zhang Guoli touched his head, smiled and waved his hand, saying: "I just like to make a few jokes on the set."

"But during this time with the group."

"How should I put it? I feel like I've become a lot younger!"

“It’s energetic.”

Ouyang Changlin habitually makes a summary.

This simple episode made his expectations for "Fall in Love with You" even higher. It was not difficult for the director to control the situation. He could just find a clue with a gloomy face and scold for a few days to solve the problem.

But it can control the situation.

It also allows the crew to work in an orderly manner in a more relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

This is really a test of the director’s skills!
Those who can do this usually produce good finished products.

the reason is simple.

If the director is too exhausted by the filming work, he will not be in the mood to make jokes. It is already good enough if he doesn't act like a powder keg that explodes at any time!
The fact that Li Luo is in a mood to joke proves that his work pressure is far from reaching the threshold.

All of this is going on with ease.

"Actors, stand back."

"No problem, let's take a close-up of the dish first."

"Okay~"

"From the host seat on the side, can you see the Pearl Tower outside?"

"The microphone is exposed, make it higher."

Amid the shouts, the monitor screen in front of him changed, first slowly advancing to the colorful dishes on the dining table. The green and red peppers and the rising hot steam made Ouyang Changlin purse his lips involuntarily.

He attends banquets all year round and he hasn’t eaten such home-cooked dishes for a long time!

Especially the authentic stir-fried pork with peppers.

I like it just by looking at it.

After a close-up, the host position comes to the side.

"Come on~"

Li Luo picked up the white rice and gestured to Liu Shishi, "Yimei, you are so thin, you can eat more and try my cooking skills. Let's eat a few bites before we start filming."

"Ah."

Sensing the looming murderous aura, he smiled again: "Of course Mosheng is not fat, just don't eat too much."

"Thank you."

Huang Shengyi then picked up the bowl of rice with satisfaction.

Look around.

Seeing that Luo Ge and Sheng Yi Jie were the first to reach for the sour beans, Liu Shishi also curiously extended her chopsticks over.

He hesitated.

She put it into her mouth very simply.

As you chew the beans, the crispy beans instantly burst into sour juice. This taste mixed with the dry and fragrant lean meat and the spicy millet pepper completely awakens your taste buds in an instant.

The girl's mouth chews faster and faster, and her mouth smells more and more delicious.

"Hmm~"

Liu Shishi swiftly scooped up a mouthful of white rice and snorted happily.

"Is it delicious?"

Huang Shengyi picked up the serving chopsticks and put some more on Liu Shishi: "I wasn't used to it at first, but later I found it very delicious. The more I eat, the more appetizing it becomes. Ah Yichen also makes a lemon duck dish."

“It’s also super delicious.”

"But it's hard to buy the materials in Shanghai, but he has some at his home in Shichahai."

"When you get to the capital, ask him to cook for you."

"Thank you."

Liu Shishi nodded and quickly scooped two bites for herself.

But she couldn't help but secretly glance at Li Luo and happened to meet his gaze.

"Small idea."

Winking at the girl, Li Luo showed a handsome smile: "If there is a chance, I will definitely show you my skills. Just don't be afraid of gaining weight by then!"

"Uh-huh."

Liu Shishi nodded hurriedly.

Enjoying the meal prepared by Luo Ge himself.

So fragrant~
The filming started quickly amid the three people's laughter.

Filming with food in mouth.

It's really difficult.

If you are not careful, the lines you speak will become unclear. At the beginning, Liu Shishi was a little uncomfortable and ended up doing NGs several times.

However, with Li Luo's reminder.

She consciously picked up the minced meat and put it into her mouth.

This way you can eat lively and it won't affect your normal speech.

Ouyang Changlin nodded repeatedly when seeing the warm scene in front of the dining table, although it would be more troublesome to shoot like this.

But it doesn't have to be a dry chat.

The chopsticks didn't move.

He didn't just look at the dishes over and over again, but he didn't eat a single bite.

Often these inconspicuous details can give the audience a completely different feeling. Chewing in the air is simple, but it is difficult for most actors to give a convincing performance.

Now Li Luo's enjoyment in eating makes the picture very contagious.

Many staff members followed suit and swallowed their saliva quietly.

"Click~"

"One more."

"Serve the rice, don't fill it too full, and pay attention to the connection between the shots."

“Where are the spare dishes?”

"Hurry up and bring some more. I don't want to see the amount of food fluctuate. Don't make any mistakes in this regard!"

For the sake of the two actresses, Li Luo could only play the main role in creating the atmosphere.

Three bowls, four bowls, five bowls.

Keep adding more rice.

He also kept putting the food into his mouth.

The filming was repeated, and Li Luo did not get tired of eating complicatedly.
