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

Chapter 457: Teasing Little White Flower
By the time she reached the door of the box, Zhang Li's mood had calmed down a little.

Just a few minutes.

She deeply realized what it meant to have a blessing in disguise. She lost a small role but got a promise from the boss of Huayi Company in return. In fact, she suffered a small loss but got a big fortune.

I also personally experienced what it means when someone says something casually.

It can be equivalent to spending countless thoughts on your own.

I fought hard for that role through my agency, and I went through several drinking parties and endured all kinds of verbal and physical harassment before I got it.

otherwise.

She also won't suddenly lose control of her emotions.

But now, just one word from Luo Ge allowed him to escape from the predicament instantly.

And also joined a larger crew.

Zhang Li's heart was pounding at this moment, and she felt that the figure in front of her was extremely tall and majestic.

Wipe the corners of your eyes vigorously.

Walking becomes more energetic.

Li Bingbing was paying attention to all the changes in Zhang Li's expression.

After looking at the girl with a great figure, she looked at Li Luo who was walking in front of her, and she kept muttering to herself. It was obvious that something had happened to this best newcomer of the night!

And that annoying guy just helps the other person solve the problem.

This is almost always the case.

From their previous greetings at the venue, it can be seen that the two people just met tonight, and they are simply fellow villagers.

this relationship.

In fact, it is as thin as window paper.

In this profit-oriented circle, everyone is concerned about their own business.

I didn't expect that extremely annoying guy.

Actually
There is actually such a side.

As she pondered over this, Miss Shangguan Jing'er developed a strong curiosity about Li Luo.

Amidst the hurried footsteps, everyone walked into the box.

The boss is here.

Wang Baoqiang immediately stood up to greet him.

He is just simple by nature and it is impossible for him to be as stupid as Xu Sanduo. In fact, Wang Baoqiang has a good grasp of the social etiquette.

Amidst the greetings.

Everyone took off their thick coats.

There is sufficient heating in the house, so there is no need to wrap the dumplings like we do outside.

"Don't take it off."

Hanging his coat on the wall, Li Luo glanced at the fellow who had half-unzipped his coat and tried to dissuade him, "Just wear it like this. Even if there's heating in the house, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold!"

"Oh~"

Zhang Li's face turned red and she obediently zipped up her clothes.

With this action, the big thunder that she had just shown was covered by the coat again.

Change to normal times.

Li Luo doesn't care about such things.

However, Zhang Li's crying appearance just now reminded him of another fellow villager. Wang Ou was also very cautious at that time, fearing that one wrong step would lead to eternal damnation.

My thoughts were aroused.

I couldn't help but protect the other person.

There is no need to let Zhang Li entertain people with her beauty in such an occasion.

Although the sound is small.

But Li Bingbing still heard it.

She couldn't help but glance at Li Luo, this guy had a weird personality, just now at the venue he was bold enough to tickle herself unscrupulously, but now he had such a caring and considerate side.

Having been in the circle for so many years, Li Bingbing has seen everything.

Be someone else.

Including your own boss.

At this time, he might have already taken advantage of the opportunity by helping to get the role.

Noticing that Li Bingbing was looking at him, Li Luo smiled and shook his nimble fingers at her. This action immediately made the girl so angry again that she rolled her eyes at him.

Think more.

This guy is a nuisance!

Not long after they entered the box, Fan Bingbing and his assistant followed closely behind.

The greeting just started.

Zhang Guoli, Jiang Wenli, and Zheng Xiaolong and his wife walked into the box laughing again, followed by Zhou Bichang wearing black-framed glasses.

This combination was a little beyond Li Luo's expectations.

"Hello, Luo."

As soon as he walked in, the popular talent show singer smiled like Doraemon: "I'm so sorry, I didn't have time to say hello at the venue just now. Congratulations to Luo Ge for winning the Best Actor award."

"Godfather is right. Luo Ge will definitely have no problem winning this award."

“I hope I’ll have the opportunity to learn from Luo Ge in the future.”

"Godfather?"

Li Luo held her hand and for a moment forgot to respond to her greeting.

"My daughter."

Zhang Guoli glanced at him.

"Hello, hello!"

Li Luo immediately shook Zhou Bichang's arm enthusiastically and expressed his warm welcome. He certainly knew that Zhang Guoli and Zhou Bichang had collaborated on "The 601st Call", but he did not expect that the two of them actually became relatives.

Godfather and goddaughter sounds very ambiguous.

There are many such things in the circle, but he won’t think about it in a wrong way.

When Zhang Guoli and Zhou Bichang stand together, no one would think of such a mess.

Vice President Xin Lang, Chen Tong and Yu Dong walked into the box together.

The team led by Li Luo is basically complete.

It was not difficult for him to attract more people, but having just a dozen people was already lively enough, as half of the most valuable guests of the Internet Festival had already been attracted here.

As one big figure after another appeared.

Ma Rong and Zhang Li were so nervous that they didn't know where to put their hands and feet, and could only keep smiling.

Fortunately, we didn’t have to wait long and the second half of the party started soon.

Amid the loud cheers of the crowd, Li Luo picked up the champagne given by Meng Tong, opened it with a pop, and poured it into the crystal clear wine glass, painting it a charming orange color.

Just when Ma Rong wanted to taste the champagne.

But she was stunned to find that everyone picked up the cocktails on the table and had no intention of touching the champagne tower at all.

Not knowing what was going on, she quickly followed suit and picked up the cocktail.

Let’s toast together.

"I don't drink it."

Seeing her doubt, Wang Baoqiang leaned over to explain: "In public, the waiters may distribute it to the guests, but in private, it is just for the atmosphere, and it just pours it to look good."

"To be honest, I also think it's a waste."

"That half bottle that Luo Ge poured out must have cost more than a thousand yuan. I don't know how much food it could buy in my hometown!"

Speaking of it.

Baoqiang smacked his lips in pain.

But there was nothing he could do despite feeling sad, he was also slowly getting used to this kind of thing.

Just this sentence.

Ma Rong instantly felt disgusted.

Such a stylish and atmospheric thing could be brought up by that guy about country food, which is really not worthy of being mentioned in public.

She just didn't think of it at all, with a flash of contempt in her eyes.

Baoqiang just felt distressed.

And she.

But I have never seen such a scene before.

Ma Rong quickly ignored Wang Baoqiang's presence and looked with shining eyes at the handsome man who was walking around and chatting among these big shots.

Straightforward trousers.

A spotless white shirt.

There is also a watch on his hand that looks very expensive.

Everything was just like in the dream, just like the elegant prince charming.

Watch and watch.

Her attention fell on Baoqiang, who was wearing a red Tang suit next to her.

I suddenly felt discouraged.

Li Luo was soon caught by Fan Bingbing while he was wandering around. The fat boy squinted his eyes and clinked glasses with him, laughing: "You are quite skillful, you pick every flower you see, right?"

Even though she was wearing a coat, Zhang Li's highly recognizable afro still made her instantly recognizable.

That figure.

Even she was envious.

I didn't expect that this guy would call me to the nightclub in the blink of an eye. Xiaopang felt his teeth itching.

"Don't wrongly accuse a good person."

Li Luo swallowed the cocktail and replied confidently: "Zhang Li is my fellow villager. It would be rude of you not to invite her over to sit with you. Besides, I caused trouble for her and the girl is feeling depressed!"

Organize the language slightly.

He spoke out the story in a burst of rapidity.

It not only satisfies Xiaopang's curiosity, but also diverts the other party's attention.

"Look at you."

Li Luo finally took a close look at her chest and said with a smile, "You obviously can't eat any more, but you're like a puppy guarding its food. Who was still shouting that you couldn't eat any more this morning?"

Fan Bingbing's lightning-fast kick almost made him jump up.

Rolled his eyes.

The girl turned and left triumphantly.

The box was extremely lively at this time. Zhou Bichang took the microphone and sang, which drew applause from time to time.

Shaking his sore feet, Li Luo sat down in the corner.

"The Legend of Zhen Huan?"

As soon as he sat down, Zhang Guoli couldn't wait to ask questions.

“A best-selling online novel.”

Playing with the cup in his hand, Li Luo said with a smile: "It's mainly about the struggles in the harem. Have you seen the Hong Kong drama "Golden Branches Desire"? It's similar to that type, but the background of the time is different."

"Anything going on?"

When Zhang Guoli heard this, he immediately became interested.

As a senior television personality.

How could he not have watched this TV series that won the ratings championship in Hong Kong Island? Although the costumes and props were not satisfactory, he still found this palace fighting drama full of conspiracies, lies and interests very exciting.

"Hard to say."

Li Luo took the last sip of his cocktail and poured himself a glass of Hennessy XO. "I'm not trying to fool you. I don't have any idea about this drama. First of all, the investment will be very large."

“Secondly, there is no precedent.”

"Otherwise I wouldn't want to spend so much time polishing the script."

Li Luo touched Zhang Guoli's cup and smiled, "Of course I welcome Uncle Zhang to play with me, but you must be prepared to lose money."

Of course he will grasp it.

After all, the core of the story has not changed, and the plot lines are basically the same.

As for the big change of era.

This was not a big deal in his opinion.

The equally fictional "Nirvana in Fire" is a clear example. The costume drama starring Hu Ge became a huge hit with its almost childish "political intrigues".

This proves that dramas with ancient Han style and charm definitely have a market.

With the wonderful palace fighting story as the foundation, great efforts were made in the costumes and props, and finally supported by the wholehearted dedication of the actors.

There is a high probability that it will become a good drama.

However, despite his confidence, he still habitually speaks out the ugly truth first.

Li Luo is very welcoming if the other party wants to join the game.

At least everyone knows each other well.

Zheng Xiaolong and his wife are obviously a husband and wife team. Both of them are older and more senior than himself. If there is any conflict in creative concepts, having such a middleman to act as a buffer can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Ah."

After thinking it over, Zhang Guoli immediately asked the question he thought was most worthy of attention: "You are the male lead, right?"

Li Luo laughed silently and nodded slightly.

"That's it!"

Zhang Guoli stretched out his hand and smiled like an old fox: "I feel relieved when you are here. We can talk about the details another day. Anyway, count me in for now."

He smiled and shook his head again.

Li Luo slapped his palms crisply.

In the noisy box, the noise made by the two of them was not loud at all.

But it cannot be hidden from those who are interested.

Seeing Li Luo high-five Zhang Guoli, Wang Xiaoping immediately kicked Zheng Xiaolong. It should be said that Zhang Guoli's previous self-recommendation still made her feel a little nervous. Although the TV series that this Lord Ji Xiaolan had filmed before were all in the style of drama.

It takes a humorous and witty approach.

But Zhang Guoli has at least acted in costume dramas before, and his father-in-law said that he has certain experience in this area, but he has no outstanding achievements in this regard.

Zheng Xiaolong understood.

He stood up and walked towards Li Luo and Zhang Guoli.

In fact, as a director, it is not easy to come across a script you like. This is a mutually beneficial thing. "Farewell My Concubine" for Chen Kaige is the simplest example.

Therefore, we must fight when it is time to fight.

The film and television adaptation rights and funds are in Li Luo's hands. With the other party's ability, he can still kill the pigs even without him as a butcher!
Although it's not a good time to talk about too many details at this time.

But the creative concept.

We can still communicate a little bit.

We are on the right track.

Things are naturally settled.

"Both of you."

Sitting down next to him, Zheng Xiaolong raised his glass and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

“It’s not that show yet.”

Li Luo did not hide anything and laughed cheerfully, "What a coincidence! Uncle Zhang is also curious about what kind of novel Director Zheng is interested in. Director Zheng should have read the original novel, right?"

"of course."

Zheng Xiaolong nodded decisively.

In fact, he was not interested in it at the beginning. He had just finished the "Golden Wedding" project and wanted to take a good rest for a while before deciding on it.

But after Wang Xiaoping's repeated recommendations, he reluctantly picked up the book and read it.

This seems a bit out of control.

"Ah."

After considering his words, Li Luo said thoughtfully, "In fact, I have read it several times. After all, I am thinking of adapting it. According to my habit, I must understand the story thoroughly."

Zheng Xiaolong and Zhang Guoli immediately perked up, eliminating the distraction of the music and listening carefully.

If you are a layman.

Of course they won't take it to heart.

But Li Luo is a complete expert, and as a producer, it is necessary to understand his creative ideas.

"Here's what I think."

Li Luo tapped the wine glass with his fingertips and said slowly: "We in the film and television industry must have awe for the original work. Adaptation does not mean making up stories. The essence of a play cannot be empty words."

“Although I am a screenwriter myself.”

“But I think my personal desire to create must give way to the story.”

Zheng Xiaolong understood what this meant.

It just emphasizes that the script cannot be changed according to personal wishes. Li Luo would not do that, and I would be even less able to do that.

"Nothing wrong."

Zheng Xiaolong immediately agreed.

What a joke, this is exactly what he wanted.

To be honest, Zheng Xiaolong is more afraid of this than Li Luo. If this guy relies on his status as a producer to temporarily change the plot and lines on the set, he, the director, will be the one who feels uncomfortable.

Now that the producer has blocked this road himself, he can't even wait to be happy.

"Secondly."

Li Luo smiled and continued, "Since we want to respect the original work, we must restore the story as much as possible. This is why I said before that we would invest a large amount of money."

"If we do shoot, we have to shoot it well, either at all."

“Try to capture the texture as much as possible.”

“To capture the grandeur of the Han Dynasty’s imperial court, the story must be well-filmed, and the costumes, makeup, props, and etiquette must be flawless.”

When he said this, he looked at Zheng Xiaolong steadily.

"Chinese?"

Zheng Xiaolong frowned immediately and asked quickly, "Mr. Li, do you want to set this drama in the Han Dynasty?"

"Director Zheng, what do you think?"

Li Luo shook the wine glass and took a sip of XO.

"Is such that."

Zheng Xiaolong thought about it, then shook his head seriously and said, "Let me be frank. The Han Dynasty is indeed inappropriate. The audience is too familiar with that period of history, and it is very difficult to implement."

"The life stories of famous emperors and empresses are generally well known."

"There's no way to change it."

"Ah."

This is not without reason. Li Luo continued to smile: "What does Director Zheng mean?"

"For the same reason."

Zheng Xiaolong had thought about this question before, and he said quickly, "Famous historical dynasties such as the Han, Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties are not acceptable. Short-lived dynasties should also be ruled out. There is not enough time for the situation in the original book to occur."

"A chaotic situation like the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is even more unacceptable."

"Or just ignore it."

Patting the sofa lightly, Zheng Xiaolong gave his opinion: "Either we should put it in the big background of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and take its cultural features, and we don't need to be specific to any one country."

“Both.”

“I think it’s the most appropriate.”

Zheng Xiaolong's words made Li Luo a little stunned.

Unexpectedly, the dynasty in the original work was completely out of the other party's consideration.

The biggest point of disagreement in my imagination.

It doesn't exist at all.

Li Luo thought about it carefully and realized that he seemed to be thinking in the wrong direction. The big Beijing director in front of him had never filmed a drama with pigtails before. It seemed that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was the only one with the background of that era.

Then the reason why the original work was adapted into a pigtail drama was most likely due to the influence of investors.

It's not just suitable for that era.

The management has spoken.

As a director, Zheng Xiaolong can only adapt the film in that direction unless he doesn't want to make the money.

Now not only the producers have changed.

There is no doubt that I am the candidate for the protagonist.

No matter how bold Zheng Xiaolong's assumptions were, he would not dare to allow himself to play a middle-aged emperor in his forties, so an imaginary and vague story background became a natural choice.

Actually, I’m filming now.

There is no such thing as not allowing overhead.

"My Sassy Girl" co-starring Su Youpeng and Korean star Jang Nara is a typical example. It just depends on which direction the investors want to lead it!

Under Zheng Xiaolong's intense gaze, a smile slowly broke out on Li Luo's face, whose expression kept changing.

The thumbs-up also quietly rose.

There is no core dispute.

Then he and Zheng Xiaolong naturally had a very pleasant conversation.

The two of them were chatting happily, but it made Zhang Guoli very confused. He couldn't understand anything about Zhen Huan, Xuan Ling, Hua Fei, Shen Meizhuang, An Lingrong, etc.

We are all human beings.

Li Luo and Zheng Xiaolong smiled at each other and quickly started chatting about love and romance.

Just unify the main ideas.

tonight.

Li Luo’s main task is to entertain the guests.

After just a few minutes, he picked up a bottle of Hennessy and walked around. Those with poor alcohol tolerance could just take a sip, while those with good alcohol tolerance could drink it in one gulp, relying on his skill of drinking a thousand cups without getting drunk.

Not only is he handsome, rich and powerful, but he also looks so heroic now.

He poured the wine down his throat.

Li Luo chatting and laughing with a group of big guys.

Ma Rong was so delighted by this.

However, when his eyes fixed on Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing and even Zhang Li, reporter Ma suddenly felt ashamed. Perhaps only such beautiful female stars are worthy of such an outstanding man like Luo Ge!

"Bao Qiang."

Just as she was feeling sad, the sofa next to her suddenly sank: "Xiao Ma, what are you two doing sitting here like idiots?"

"Brother Luo."

Seeing Li Luo sitting next to him, Ma Rong was immediately delighted.

"I just come out to play."

Li Luo directly picked up the bottle and poured her half a glass of strong liquor, then smiled and said to Wang Baoqiang: "You two should relax a little and stop being so shy."

"Everyone."

He shouted to the surroundings, raised his cup and shouted: "The Spring Festival is coming soon. Next, let's invite Mr. Wang Baoqiang, a famous singer in our country, to sing us a song "Whether you have money or not, go home for the New Year", okay?"

"it is good!!!"

Seeing Baoqiang's face turning red and black due to embarrassment, everyone burst into laughter and made a noise.

Whistles and cheers rang out.

"Brother Baoqiang."

Zhou Bi ran over with an open heart, stretched out his hand and pulled him up: "Come on, I want to sing with you!"

Can't refuse.

Wang Baoqiang also wanted to show off his skills in front of Ma Rong.

He straightened his red Tang suit, took the microphone, stood up and walked forward with Zhou Bichang. Amid everyone's cheers, he nervously looked at the single he had just released playing on TV.

The familiar prelude sounded, and then I looked at this familiar face.

Li Luo couldn't help but recall how he laughed foolishly when watching "Lost on Journey" in his previous life. Maybe it's time for him to go home and visit this year!
Some blood has to be shed.

He also had to find a reason to launch the movie "Lost on Journey". The script could be awarded to him out of thin air, but he couldn't just bring this story out of thin air. Things had to be traceable.

As my mind was in turmoil, the XO in my hand was polished off without me noticing.

That melancholy expression.

Ma Rong's heart was melted by what she saw.

"Brother Luo."

The girl subconsciously leaned towards him and reminded him in a low voice: "You should drink less. I saw you drank quite a lot just now."

As the body approaches.

Even through a layer of sweater, Ma Rong could feel the strong muscles under the white shirt.

Heat dissipated by muscles.

And there is the pleasant smell of Luo Ge.

Ma Rong gulped down a big mouthful of liquor, but this action failed to suppress his restless mood. Instead, it made the inexplicable impulse even stronger, and his heartbeat quickly accelerated.

"fine."

Shaking XO, Li Luo looked at her with a smile

The two were very close at this moment. Ma Rong met his deep eyes and instantly felt like he was about to fall into them.

This expression.

Completely under Li Luo's gaze.

"pony."

With a thought, he pursed his lips and chuckled: "Did you think I looked pretty good just now?"

"Ah."

Ma Rong nodded quickly.

The people she associates with are all big names in the entertainment industry, and a sip of wine in the glass costs dozens of dollars. She had never dared to imagine this kind of life before. If this isn't glory, then what is it!
"The clothes I'm wearing."

Li Luo patted his white shirt and leaned back on the sofa: "It was custom-made by Qipilang. I don't know the exact price."

"But including the shoes and everything else, it should cost around ten thousand dollars!"

"watch."

He shook his wrist towards Ma Rong again, making the watch shine even brighter. “This was given to me by Brother Fang Long when I attended the Academy Awards. It should be able to sell for more than three million Hong Kong dollars.”

When he heard the price of the clothes, Ma Rong felt a little dizzy.

Thousands of dollars.

Said it lightly.

That’s several months’ salary!

When she heard the words "Fang Long" and "more than three million Hong Kong dollars", her eyes were completely fixed on the watch.

Those tiny diamonds seem to exude infinite charm.

“It’s the scenery.”

Li Luo's arm trembled again, and he let his sleeve cover the watch: "But there are also unspeakable troubles and pressures behind it. Sometimes I lie in bed for half a night and can't fall asleep. I feel like I'm walking on thin ice every day."

Ma Rong reluctantly withdrew his gaze from his sleeve and looked at him again with great pity.

“Glamour is just appearance.”

Amid the song about whether you have money or not, going home for the New Year, Li Luo looked into the eyes of the little white flower: "But others can't see the bitterness I feel behind the scenes. In fact, do you know what kind of life I want most?"

Ma Rong shook his head quickly, indicating that he didn't know.

"actually."

Li Luo pretended to be hesitant, but still looked at Ma Rong affectionately: "Actually, I just want to find a well-educated and well-mannered girl, and live a simple life with three meals a day and four seasons for the two of us."

"Enjoy the wind, enjoy the flowers, and spend the snow and moon together."

“Escape from the hustle and bustle of the world.”
