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

Chapter 433: Even More Enjoyable Than Zhang Wuji
It was eleven o'clock at night.

The crew meeting ended with Chen Jiashang waving his hand.

The meeting room was originally quiet.

Suddenly there was noise.

Everyone greeted each other cautiously yet enthusiastically. Li Luo's place was the most lively. The people who appeared in front of him like horses made him a little overwhelmed for a moment.

But I can only cheer myself up to deal with it.

The higher you go, the more careful you have to be in doing things.

You have to be good at dealing with fans, the media, and colleagues, and making as many friends as possible is the way to survive. You can't be like the King of Comedy, who would fall out with a partner after almost every movie he made.

You can't be like Wen Zhang either.

Thousands of people beat the broken drum.

In his opinion, King Liu's way of dealing with the world is more worthy of learning.

"Senior."

When the crowd gradually dispersed, Yang Mi jumped forward.

"one two three four."

Li Luo laughed loudly and waved at the people around him: "There are four seniors here. Look, there is another senior over there. Which one are you looking for, Junior Sister Yang Mi?"

Under his teasing.

Jia Nailiang and others burst into laughter.

"I'm looking for Senior Sister Zhao, Senior Li, Senior Jia, Senior Wan, and Senior Xu."

Yang Mi greeted them in a flurry of words, then smiled and curved her bright eyes into crescents: "There are so many seniors here today, it seems I have a solution for my midnight snack tonight!"

"Yes~"

Li Luo snapped his fingers, shook his head and smiled, "It seems like you're waiting for me to say this. Let's go, let's have a Beijing Film Academy dinner, drink and eat barbecue in my room!"

As soon as the words were spoken, cheers rang out.

Li Luo looked at Fan Xiaopang apologetically again, but of course he did not forget Gao Yuanyuan.

Although it is a bit regrettable.

The two beautiful girls nodded indifferently.

This time the filming lasted more than two months.

Don't be in a hurry.

Moreover, they have never been hungry, but always eat too much. They miss him when he is gone, but are a little scared when he is seen. In addition, they are tired after a day of travel, and they have long wanted to go back to rest!

The words "Beijing Film Academy dinner" held the rest of the people down.

These pairs of eyes looked with great envy at the group of Beijing Film Academy students who followed the producer away.

Born into a distinguished and upright family.

Sometimes it's a benefit.

If you are from Beijing Film Academy, you can take this opportunity to build relationships with them.

If not.

I can only watch helplessly.

Business floor.

As the door opened with a click, a group of people rushed in.

The business suite's luxurious decoration, spacious living room and bar with a wide variety of drinks, extremely comfortable bedroom, color TV and refrigerator, drew constant exclamations of admiration.

Don't underestimate it.

However, thanks to the support of his agency and his outstanding appearance, Jia Nailiang has been exposed to a large number of advertising and acting opportunities since school.

Since his debut, he has starred in more than a dozen TV series.

The protagonist can't get it though.

But they are all major supporting roles with a lot of screen time.

If it weren't for Wang Luodan's sudden rise, Jia Nailiang would be the best person in the class except for Li Luo and Huang Shengyi. In terms of numbers alone, even Bian Xiaoxiao couldn't compare to him.

But despite this, Jia Nailiang has never enjoyed this level of treatment.

Not to mention Zhao Ke and others!

When they saw this suite, they naturally praised it.

Even if they stay in the same hotel, the treatment cannot be the same. Even if they are classmates, even if they have a good relationship privately, there are some things that can only be treated differently according to their status and roles.

Li Luo had neither the ability nor the intention to change this rule.

Many things exist.

There must be a reason for its existence.

Plus, he himself is a beneficiary of this unspoken rule, so he must be mentally ill to want to treat everyone equally in the crew.

"I go!!!"

Zhao Ke's eyes widened as she looked at the large bathtub in the bathroom with envy: "Li Luo, you are enjoying yourself too much. Just thinking about taking a hot bath after a day of filming in winter makes me feel happy."

"Old Zhao is always welcome."

Li Luo moved to the bar, picked up a bottle of wine and said jokingly: "If you need me, just knock on the door. It would be even better if we can drink together!"

"Would you like to add me as well?"

Jia Nailiang turned around and sat on the sofa, joining in the fun.

"Na~"

Zhao Ke raised his slender middle finger high.

Bursts of laughter broke out instantly.

From the moment we walked into the room, it was no longer a relationship between producer and actor, but just classmates.

The noisy laughter made Li Luo feel relaxed.

Don't think too much about it.

There is no need to rush to the set to check on various situations without receiving a phone call, let alone coordinate matters between various departments.

The feeling that most of the energy only needs to be focused on acting.

It's really relaxing and enjoyable.

No wonder those cross-border actors in later generations, unless they are extremely energetic, dare not easily play the cross-border game. The actors themselves are very busy with their work, thinking about scripts, acting, commercial performances, advertising endorsements, platform publicity, and running various variety shows.

You also have to build interpersonal relationships in the middle.

Engage in relationships between men and women.

These are enough to consume all your energy.

If we set up a crew to direct and act in a film ourselves, the workload will increase dramatically instantly, and we will also face greater mental pressure in terms of profitability.

normal person.

I really can't figure it out.

"How about some cocktails?"

Li Luo put two bottles of Chivas on the bar, opened the refrigerator and took out soda water, ice cubes and lemons: "Eating barbecue and drinking beer will cause the calories to explode. I don't think you can handle it."

Everyone nodded quickly.

Not to mention Yang Mi and Zhao Ke, the same was true for the other three men.

I want to be on the screen.

Body shape control is a must.

The requirements for acting on TV are very strict, let alone in movies. In front of the huge screen, even the slightest flaw will be infinitely magnified. Unless the role has special requirements, the thinner the better.

otherwise.

Losing weight will not be an eternal topic for celebrities.

You have to drink five or six bottles of beer to get drunk, so foreign liquor is obviously a better choice at this time.

"I'm here to help."

Yang Mi followed him to the bar, happily picked up a bottle of Chivas and opened the cap. After Li Luo cleaned the large glass pot, she poured the amber liquor into it.

Li Luo then poured the soda water into the glass jug.

Wash the lemon, cut it into slices, and add it to the Chivas Regal along with the crystal ice cubes.

Simple cocktail making is done.

Proportion doesn't matter!
Just say it smoothly.

Soda water and ice dilute the spicy taste of alcohol, and lemon adds a refreshing fruity aroma, making the drink taste fresher and mellower and easier to swallow.

Often, people who can't handle this kind of wine will have to run away when they see it.

It tastes sweet though.

Finish drinking.

But also dizzy.

"I'm coming."

Li Luo walked to the living room with a large bucket of cocktails and called the people who were visiting to come back: "What's so good about this place? It's just a place to sleep. Come over and have a drink first."

"I was so exhausted from directing and acting recently, it's rare for me to have time to relax."

"How was the shoot?"

Yang Mi carefully put down the glasses in her hands.

About Li Luo's recent situation.

My junior high school sister really doesn’t understand it very well.

Her main focus is still on school. Even if the management of Beijing Film Academy is more relaxed, she will not be able to graduate if she does not have enough credits.

This time the leave was considered particularly easy. After hearing that I was going to shoot Li Luo's movie, the department leader asked a few questions about the specific content of the movie, and then signed the leave application without any consideration at all.

"good."

Li Luo poured the wine for everyone quickly, and smiled as they looked at him with concern: "I am more or less confident. Shengyi performed quite well. Now I will rely on you all!"

"necessary."

"Brother Luo, let go and toss around."

"Even if my bones are broken, I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you."

Everyone patted their chests to express their opinions, and then raised their cups and clinked them together.

After half a glass of wine, the atmosphere quickly became lively.

Class 01 recalls the past years.

The younger girls from Class 05 listened to the school stories of their seniors with a smile on their faces and kept pouring them wine. Not long after, Liu Wan brought back the packed barbecue, which made everyone even happier.

Eating and drinking.

Alcohol makes people's emotions particularly excited.

When I was in school, I thought about graduating early, but after graduation I realized that was the happiest and most carefree time in my life.

There is not so much intrigue, and there is no ever-present intense pressure and sense of crisis.

After entering society.

What comes is all kinds of struggles.

Even if he is as successful as Jia Nailiang, he is still bound to be bullied and criticized when he is on the set, not to mention the others.

As he drank glass after glass of wine, he made one phone call after another.

Huang Shengyi, Bian Xiaoxiao, Wang Luodan, Yan Ye and other classmates joined the party via phone from thousands of miles away. They first cursed for disturbing their sleep, and then laughed and made fun of everyone's embarrassing moments.

“Flowers bloom in the spring.”

After gulping down a mouthful of wine, Zhao Ke tapped the cup lightly with his chopsticks: "The autumn wind and the setting sun in winter."

The soft and leisurely lyrics quickly made the living room quiet.

"Melancholy youth, young me."

Huang Shengyi's extremely emotional voice also floated out from the phone receiver: "I used to think so ignorantly."

Several boys at the scene looked at each other.

They hugged each other's shoulders and took over the singing of Sister Shengyi: "The windmill is in the song of the four seasons, it turns every day, and I am growing up year by year in the poems of wind, flowers, snow and moon."

"Flowing water takes away the stories of time."

“It changes a person.”

Hearing this, Bian Xiaoxiao couldn't help but join in the chorus: "It's in that sentimental, first-time waiting youth."

"I'm afraid you've already forgotten the song I wrote for you when I was young~"

"The flowing water carries away the stories of time."

“Changed two people!”

"In that sentimental youth when I shed tears for the first time~~~"

"Flowing water takes away the stories of time and changes us, right in the sentimental and first recollected youth."

The singing is dull.

Yet it remains passionate.

Looking at these seniors with red eyes.

Although Yang Mi didn't understand their feelings, she clapped her hands silently.

Followed by a series of responses.

In the story of time, we are reunited.

Evening gathering.

It also ended with a chorus.

After all, they still had to work the next day and it was impossible to drink all night long. The gentlemen took care of each other and returned to their rooms to rest. In order to avoid suspicion, Zhao Ke, who was drunk and red-faced, asked Yang Mi to support him back to the room.

It’s late at night, and it’s not easy for my junior sister to run back.

Li Luo was left alone with nothing to do.

"Boom~"

"Have you slept?"

Looking at the text message received on his mobile phone, Li Luo smiled and replied without a word.

"Will you drink with me?"

The next text message made Li Luo stand up quickly.

He quietly opened the door and came to the quiet corridor. He walked quickly to the next suite, raised his hand to swipe the spare room card he had just received when he said goodbye after the meeting, and then slipped in.

The living room is quiet.

Only light came through the crack of the master bedroom door.

Go into the bedroom.

I heard the humming of a little tune floating out from the bathroom again.

Gently push the door open.

In a bathtub filled with rose petals, Miss Zhou Zhiruo was swaying a glass of red wine in her hand. The petals swayed with the hot water, vaguely covering her fair and plump breasts.

The little song came to an abrupt end.

Looking at Li Luo in the bathroom, Gao Yuanyuan smiled and took a sip of red wine.

She leaned back again with a clatter.

Clear water splashed down from the thunder bottle with this movement, and her pretty face turned red. Miss Zhiruo's expression at this moment was simply beautiful.

"I thought you were asleep!"

After taking off his coat, Li Luo quickly unfastened his watch.

"sleepy."

Gao Yuanyuan kicked her foot and splashed the dripping water on him: "I just called Jingwen." "Oh."

After a slight pause, Li Luo continued his action.

"she"

After looking at Li Luo's expression, Gao Yuanyuan said hesitantly, "Sister Jingwen is having a bad time with her in-laws. She and her husband are almost separated now. She is not living well now."

It wasn't just a simple phone call.

It's just a cry.

Gao Yuanyuan felt very uncomfortable, so she just got up, drank some wine and took a bath.

The sisters who were once the most popular and famous sisters in the country almost brought their careers to a complete standstill for the so-called dream of marrying into a wealthy family.

In exchange for a failed business.

But the love and life situation is not much better.

After struggling for several years, Jia Jingwen's dream of marrying into a wealthy family was not only shaky, but even her marriage was in trouble.

It made her feel extremely sad.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Li Luo stepped into the bathtub and slowly sat in the warm water: "Now Sister Jingwen should do a good job of property preservation and collect relevant evidence for divorce and child custody."

"But it's hard to talk about this kind of thing. It's like you're hoping for someone to get divorced."

The so-called female celebrity who married into a wealthy family.

She can truly live the life of a wealthy wife.

There are not many at all.

Those so-called wealthy families are as cunning as monkeys, so don't even think about trying to take advantage.

You are lucky if you are not taken advantage of.

"what?"

Gao Yuanyuan quickly sat up and asked with a frown, "It won't come to that, do you think it will go that far?"

"Don't tell me you don't think so."

Li Luo took the red wine from her hand and took a sip.

This sentence.

Gao Yuanyuan was left speechless.

"Ugh."

With a light sigh, Yuan Meizi pushed aside the splashes and came to Li Luo, holding her arms around his neck: "This kind of thing is really not easy to interfere with, I'll try to persuade him indirectly!"

"If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. We can't keep dragging it out like this."

"Anyway, someone is backing her up."

"If that doesn't work, Sister Jingwen will have no worries about food and clothing."

"Yo~"

Noticing that Li Luo's eyes were shifting, Gao Yuanyuan held his face and turned it back: "Don't hide, I'm talking about you. Don't think I don't know that you are interested in Jingwen and have wanted to be with her for a long time, right?"

"You big bad guy."

"Have you ever thought about letting Sister Jingwen and I mess around with you?"

"No."

Li Luo denied it firmly.

His expression was determined as if he was going to the battlefield.

"Really don't want to?"

Gao Yuanyuan's eyes were moist and she smiled softly, "I have seen Sister Jingwen naked. Even though she has given birth to a child, she has not changed at all. On the contrary, she has become more charming~"

"Ah."

"How about letting Princess Shao Min and the head of the Emei Sect serve you together, so that you can have a better time than Zhang Wuji?"

Yuan sister's soft and sweet words made Li Luo's eyes light up.

"Okay~"

Gao Yuanyuan plunged her hand into the water like lightning and grabbed it fiercely: "I was right. You, a bad guy, really thought so. You have had bad intentions towards Sister Jingwen for a long time, right?"

"Last time. Last time when I was hiding, you were like this in front of Sister Jingwen."

"It hurts, it hurts~"

Li Luo begged for mercy quickly, his eyes sincere: "Don't talk nonsense, such a beautiful girl Zhou Zhiruo is sitting in front of me, how could I not react!"

"Humph~"

Gao Yuanyuan relaxed and rolled her eyes at him fiercely: "You are just a big pervert."

"I don't care, even if Sister Jingwen comes with us in the future."

"You can't leave me alone!"

Yuan Meizi's waist swayed gently, causing the water surface covered with rose petals to sway.

This action, these words, and the extremely charming little expression.

There was no way Li Luo could resist it.

the next morning.

After a hearty breakfast, the actors who had just joined the Painted Skin crew yesterday quickly got into work mode, rushing hurriedly from each floor to the gym or etiquette training room.

Although he went to bed late, Li Luo got up early.

He entered the gym early in the morning, carrying a water bottle and swinging a towel.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak."

The sound of rapid breathing echoed throughout the gym. Li Luo was surprised to find that there was someone in the corner who had arrived earlier than him and was doing bench presses with a clacking sound.

From the sweat on his arms, he could tell that the other person had been there for a while.

"Hmph~~~"

As he watched, the man slowed down more and more, and when he pushed forward for the last time, he let out a roar from his throat.

Even my arms were shaking.

Li Luo rushed over, grabbed the barbell firmly and helped the other party put it on the rack.

"Thank you."

A deep voice sounded, and the man sat up, breathing heavily.

I held it in for a while.

It made him blush.

"nice!"

Li Luo looked at the weights on both sides and gave a thumbs up to the other party: "Brother Haifeng, your strength is quite impressive. It would be impossible to push 100 kilograms without some time of training."

"But next time it's better to wait for someone to come before practicing."

"Production."

Ding Haifeng quickly stood up and waved his hands embarrassedly, "I have been practicing since you asked me to go back to exercise last time, but I haven't touched it for a few days. I need some time to adapt."

"Luo, do you want to practice?"

He looked at Li Luo's body and subconsciously walked towards the barbell: "Let me adjust it for you!"

The footsteps stopped.

Ding Haifeng wiped his sweat awkwardly again.

Look at what you said, even if you think Luo Ge can't lift it.

You can't be so direct.

"Need not."

Li Luo didn't think much about it, and walked towards the chair with his shoulders moving: "I just need to warm up, no need to use heavy weights."

Blinking his eyes, Ding Haifeng looked at his physique in confusion.

What does it mean not to lift heavy weights?

This is one hundred kilograms. There are not many people in the gym who can lift this weight. Those who can lift 120 kilograms and 140 kilograms are all big guys!
After stretching his body for a while, Li Luo turned around and sat on the bench press.

"Hey, Luo Ge is so early."

Just then, Dong Wei came in with a few martial artists.

"Good morning."

Loud greetings were heard, and Jia Nailiang and others followed closely in sportswear. Noticing Li Luo shaking his wrists, they walked forward with great interest, and a flurry of chatter was heard.

"Brother Luo, how much can you push now?"

"One hundred and six?"

"Nonsense, Luo Ge was able to form a group last time with 160, how can 160 be the limit?"

The crackling words made Ding Haifeng confused.

A group of martial artists.

His expression was extremely strange.

There has to be a limit to bragging!

Even if the other party is the producer, is there any need to flatter him like this?

"warm up."

Ignoring the group of people who surrounded him, Li Luo threw down a word, turned around and lay down, holding the 100-kilogram barbell steadily with both hands.

He exerted force with his arms suddenly and lifted it up easily.

It fell back to touch the chest.

Raise it again.

Not only are the movements extremely standard, but they also appear to require no effort at all.

"Be careful."

Despite this, Ding Haifeng quickly moved to the back.

The palms are in a hollow position.

"Brilliant."

"Brother Luo is really good. If I were to do it, it would definitely not work."

"Eighty is enough for you."

A few people who were drinking last night were standing aside happily and joking with each other. They didn't seem nervous at all.

Under the watchful eyes of the big guys.

Li Luo raised and lowered his arms, still as steady as a rock.

This posture made all the martial artists swallow their saliva with difficulty. Of course, some of them could bench press 100 kilograms, but to do it so easily would be difficult for anyone to do.

Recalling the rumors he had heard before, Dong Wei stared at Li Luo who was seriously recommending the candidate.

This producer is really not simple.

One set of twelve bench presses.

When Li Luo sat up, the martial artists' eyes had changed.

It turns out to be respect.

Respect this producer's identity.

Now there is an extra layer of admiration. People like them with straightforward tempers admire people with ability. They will admire them if they want to, and they will not accept them if they don’t.

Thinking that the other party had a good relationship with Hong Yubao, a group of martial artists immediately stepped forward to greet him enthusiastically.

They introduced themselves one after another.

Amidst all the hustle and bustle, Yang Mi also made her appearance full of energy.

Get a little familiarity.

The crew quickly began training.

There is no problem with stretching the muscles and bones. Because of the advance notice, the actors have done corresponding training before joining the crew. It is not their first time in the crew, and no one wants to be stretched and cried in public.

Seeing Li Luo's regretful expression, Yang Mi ground her itchy teeth hard.

That being the case.

Dong Wei quickly changed the training plan.

He asked the martial artists to bring out the props from the corner, including knives, guns, shields, crossbows, swords and other items.

Next up is training.

It's not just about holding and chopping.

Dong Wei also has to rack his brains to train this motley crowd into a battle formation that has clear plans for advance and retreat, or at least appears to have a very tacit understanding. This job is very challenging for him.

But there is no way.

This is exactly what Chen Jiashang requested, and the producer was equally unambiguous.

You must never rush forward and hack indiscriminately.

Military.

It has to look like a military unit.

This is also the reason why Li Luo chose to participate in the training camp. He also needs to practice battle formations and build a tacit understanding with the actors.

I sweat a lot in the gym and I also have some free time for etiquette training.

Under the hands-on guidance of the etiquette teacher.

Fan Bingbing, Gao Yuanyuan, Zhao Ke and others gradually standardized their manners from the most basic movements such as standing up, sitting down and walking, although no one has a 100% accurate answer as to how people in the Qin and Han dynasties lived.

But at the very least.

It has to make it look real to the audience.

Such training.

The days passed one by one.

Not only do they practice battle formation coordination, familiarize themselves with the use of weapons, and standardize etiquette and behavior, but there is also a fixed script reading time every night. Chen Jiashang and Li Luo do everything they can to help the actors understand their roles.

In Li Luo's opinion, script reading should be a must for every crew.

I couldn't understand the characters and the plot.

How can I talk about acting?

But it is such an important thing that fewer and fewer crews can do now, and many directors simply cannot force actors of all sizes to sit in the conference room to study day after day.

The investors want to finish filming as soon as possible, and saving money is the most important thing.

Many actors would push for roles if they can.

If you have that much free time, you might as well go for some commercial performances. It’s already hard work if you can read the script thoroughly before joining the crew!

However, in the "Painted Skin" crew, this problem that troubled other crews did not exist.

There are two huge mountains pressing down on him: Li Luo and Chen Jiashang.

No one dared to act rashly.

With the help of intensive training and reading, the actors in the crew got along better and better with each other, just like a machine that was lubricated and started to run extremely smoothly.

The work of finalizing makeup and fitting is also being carried out in full swing.

Busy and busy.

More than ten days passed in a flash.

At Li Luo's command, the main creators of the crew, who had already worked together as a team, boarded the plane together and rushed to Beijing with excitement.

Under the watchful eyes of the public.

The global launch ceremony of the movie "Painted Skin" was officially held.
