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

Chapter 461 Spring Festival Noise
After nearly four hours of flying, we passed the snowflakes flying all over the sky.

The plane arrived in Nanning and landed slowly.

For Zhao Xuejing.

This was her first time to come to this autonomous region in southern Xinjiang. Apart from having heard that Guilin's landscapes were the best in the world, she knew nothing about this place.

The main reason why she agreed to take this job was that she couldn't buy a ticket home.

Train tickets are extremely difficult to buy during the Spring Festival.

This year is even worse.

The large-scale snowstorm across the country caused traffic disruptions, and buses, trains, airplanes and other means of transportation were delayed or cancelled. When I saw the news that hundreds of thousands of people returning home were stranded at the Yangcheng Railway Station, I was shocked.

Zhao Xuejing was so scared that her eyes went wide open.

one more.

That's a generous reward.

When Zhao Xuejing received the 5,000 yuan overtime bonus, he nodded his approval several times with joy. He could earn more than a month's salary by accompanying his boss home for a few days. This deal was quite worthwhile.

Of course, she would never admit that she was curious about her boss's home!
Walk through the crowd.

Zhao Xuejing almost bumped into Li Luo's back.

"what happened?"

The girl grabbed the suitcase in confusion.

"snow."

Standing outside the terminal, Li Luo squinted his eyes and looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky.

"what?"

Zhao Xuejing expressed her confusion.

"fine."

Li Luo was too lazy to explain how rare it was to snow in Guilin, especially in the city. He took out his cell phone, found the number and dialed it.

After a conversation that Zhao Xuejing couldn't understand at all.

Everyone came to the parking lot.

Stop in front of the dirty van.

Looking at the vehicles in front of him, Zhao Xuejing almost didn't react. Ever since she followed Li Luo out of the office, she has been greeted and seen off by all kinds of business vehicles, and the comfort of all of them is impeccable.

did not expect.

There is actually a day when we have to take a van.

"you?"

As the few people stopped, a man with a crew cut stuck his head out from the driver's seat of the van and looked at them hesitantly.

"Brother Shen."

Li Luo took off his mask and gave his cousin a bright smile.

"leave!!!"

The car door opened and a nimble young man jumped out. He walked over quickly with excitement at first, but when he saw the exquisite coat on him, he rubbed his hands awkwardly.

"Hahaha."

Li Luo was not polite and immediately gave her a hug: "Don't you recognize me or what?"

My own cousin.

The relationship is certainly not that bad.

We all grew up playing in the same yard.

Of course there are always family disputes in the countryside, and there will be conflicts when eating from the same pot, but because Grandpa Li Luo is a teacher, the family still maintains the necessary harmony.

This time home.

Just let the other party come over and take it.

After all, it's not a business trip, so having a van is good enough. There won't be any welcoming and seeing off like before.

Scratching his head with a smile, Li Shen excitedly patted him on the back a few times.

After serving in the army.

I heard that my cousin became a big star.

He thought it was a fantasy. He was indeed handsome, but the word "star" sounded far away. It was not until he saw Li Luo on TV that he accepted this fact.

"My assistant, they are my colleagues in the company."

After Li Luo's introduction, Li Shen quickly shook hands with the three people standing behind him.

Don’t underestimate the Wuling van. Even with the suitcase loaded and four people sitting in it, it is still very stable.

As the car key turns.

The engine roared.

The hot air coming out of the air conditioner made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Unbuttoning his coat, Li Luo looked at his cousin blankly: "You were just sitting here in the cold?"

"I just arrived not long ago."

Li Shen held the steering wheel, shook his head and smiled, "Besides, why are we burning oil here? Are you hungry? I'll buy some food in the car. Let's hurry back, shall we?"

"Hopefully I can get home before dinner!"

"what?"

Li Luo asked a question.

"The weather is bad."

Li Shen's words provide the simplest and most direct description of the journey ahead.

The weather is indeed bad.

In the past, the temperature during the Spring Festival was sometimes cold and sometimes hot. When it was hot, the sun was shining brightly and you could sweat even in short-sleeved shirts and shorts. But no matter how cold it was, it was rarely like it is now.

Snowflakes are dancing and rain is falling.

There is nothing in the urban area yet.

Came to the national highway.

Zhao Xuejing was so confused that she felt dizzy.

The damp and cold air kept drilling into the car. Although the heater could block it, the tires could only struggle desperately on the slippery road.

Not only was it shaking, but there were also continuous traffic jams.

The weather was extremely cold and it was drizzling, resulting in a series of traffic accidents of varying sizes. Passengers who were anxious to go home huddled helplessly on the side of the road, letting the cold wind howl at them.

The bumpy road surface successfully made Zhao Xuejing dizzy.

She vomited all over the roadside.

Then he fell into a deep sleep.

This trip is quite like a journey that some people are lost on!
We set out at ten o'clock in the morning and after nearly eight hours of long journey in a van, we finally arrived at our destination safely.

Come to this point.

Zhao Xuejing woke up from her sleep in a daze.

Wiping off the mist on the window, she looked blankly at the lush green hills outside, a sight rarely seen in the north.

The eyeballs rolled downward.

The girl's whole body tensed up instantly, and she screamed in shock at the scene in front of her.

The van roared through the mountains, and some mud kicked up by the tires splashed onto the sparse trees on the side of the road. Further out was a mountain stream with a drop of twenty to thirty meters.

The stream is flowing in the ravine.

White waves crashed against the huge rocks.

A little careless.

The vehicle will plunge headfirst.

Such a horrifying scene gave Zhao Xuejing goose bumps all over her body.

"what happened?"

Li Luo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and saw her look. He couldn't help but chuckled and said, "Guizhou is very mountainous. You'll get used to it. When I was a kid, I used to drive around everywhere on a motorcycle."

"When I was little???"

Zhao Xuejing was a little confused.

How can the two words "childhood" and "motorcycle" be combined together?

at this time.

Li Shen held the steering wheel with one hand and slowed down the car slightly.

A tattered motorcycle suddenly appeared at the intersection. Zhao Xuejing stared in amazement at the child in a vest, shorts and flip-flops riding the motorcycle as he whizzed past the van.

After raising a series of mud, it disappeared from sight in an instant.

Let alone Zhao Xuejing.

The two security guards were stunned.

As the car speed slows down.

A few minutes later, the familiar small mountain village finally appeared in Li Luo's eyes, but he soon blinked in confusion.

The horn made his cousin honk it.

The sound echoed among the mountains, reminding everyone who had come out early to wait that it was time to get down to business!
“Fire the cannon!!!”

Seeing the van appear, the village party secretary waved his hand excitedly.

A few people nearby took deep puffs on their cigarettes and put the scarlet butts towards the firecrackers hanging high up.

The fuse ignited with a crackling sound.

next moment.

The crackling sound of firecrackers echoed throughout the countryside.

Green smoke rose up and red paper scraps flew everywhere. Upon hearing the noise, the crowd who were warming themselves by the fire in the fields by the roadside suddenly became agitated and rushed to the roadside shouting and yelling.

This dark and chaotic scene.

Li Luo was stunned. There were at least a thousand people appearing before him!

People are one thing.

There are densely packed vehicles parked on the fields at the entrance of the village.

Motorcycles and cars.

Those uncles in hats, who were dressed in spirited clothes, were trying their best to maintain order at the scene. A red banner was hung high with words written in large strokes: "Welcome the famous film and television actor Mr. Li Luo to return home" and so on.

Li Luo blushed when he saw this.

It doesn't stop there.

The gongs and drums boomed, and the lion dance leaped along with the firecrackers.

People in executive jackets walked quickly out of the shed at the edge of the field and greeted the slowly approaching van with smiles on their faces.

People from Guidi.

Actually, I don’t have the habit of chasing stars.

But the fact that his family has produced a nationally renowned star is something worth bragging about wherever he goes. The only regret is that Li Luo has not returned to his hometown for several years since he went to school.

Now that I hear he's coming back to celebrate the New Year, there's no reason not to join in the fun.

Not to mention the village.

Even many people from the town and county came to see the novelty.

It’s no surprise that executive jackets appear.

Not to mention the county and the city, there are few influential public figures in the entire Guangxi region.

If Li Luo could be invited to any large-scale celebration event, it would generate real economic benefits.

Not to mention that this is the God of Wealth.

Even a hint of something between your fingers can make many people happy.

The van finally stopped steadily. When Li Luo appeared in front of everyone with a smile on his face, the scene instantly became a mess. The uncles in hats quickly organized a defense line to block the excited crowd.

This boiling scene.

Drive away the winter chill directly.

Li Luo waved his hands wildly around, causing a burst of excited cheers.

Two security guards quickly got out of the car and protected the boss. This situation was no joke. Who knew what would happen when things got exciting.

It’s easier to shake hands.

If you slap your boss, you'll be blamed.

Everyone grabs it.

Can make him bald.

This situation does not necessarily happen, but it must be prevented.

By the time Zhao Xuejing got off the car, the boss and security personnel had already been squeezed into the crowd and were apparently hugging their families. They were also going to shake hands and say hello to those people in executive jackets.

Swallow your saliva.

She still squeezed in.

Amidst the chaos, the crowd moved slowly along the village road. Various tables were placed on both sides of the road, and smoke was rising from the kitchens of every household, making it look like a buffet.

Li Luo had discussed everything with his family long before returning home.

Anyway, let the villagers make all the arrangements, kill chickens and ducks, and have plenty of braised pork and rice wine, so that everyone can eat and drink.

It doesn’t cost much, but the scene is lively enough.

Just say "OK" when you're done.

The various group photos that followed made Li Luo's face stiff with smiles. It took more than half an hour to take photos before he sat down at the main table in his own grain drying yard.

Following a shout.

Various dishes were served on the table in a continuous stream.

come here.

This made Zhao Xuejing's eyes widen again.

People in Guizhou don’t care about clothes or face, but they are very particular about food.

The table was filled with local chickens, ducks and freshwater fish.

This table of food.

Only one or two are green.

The main focus is eating meat and drinking wine in big mouthfuls.

Li Luo stood up with a large cup of rice wine, said a few polite words to the people at more than a dozen tables in the yard, and drank it all up very heartily, which immediately caused thunderous applause.

In this movement.

The small village shrouded in twilight ushered in an unprecedented lively moment.

The aroma of wine and meat fills every household.

The sounds of laughter and chatter continued to echo among the mountains.

"Don't eat it."

Noticing that Zhao Xuejing was looking curiously at a plate of shiny, black, fragrant meat, Li Luo quickly reminded her.

He picked up a piece of intestine and put it into his mouth, chewing it tenderly.

Blink your eyes.

Zhao Xuejing tactfully picked up the food that he recognized.

There were many people at the main table.

Apart from Li Luo's father and grandfather, the rest were leaders from various fields, including people from the village, town, and county. He didn't know most of them, but at this time he could only greet them with a smile.

My family members all live in the local area, so we should be clear about giving each other face.

one more.

Everyone who comes is a guest.

Others came from far away to the village to greet him.

After quickly eating some food to fill his stomach, Li Luo welcomed the wave of toasts, drinking one cup after another of his homemade rice wine.

During this time.

Various obscure or straightforward requests continued to be heard.

The head of the propaganda department said that the county was organizing a celebration during the Spring Festival and wanted to invite him as a guest of honor. Of course, he readily agreed to this.

Those in the education sector are also busy.

Warmly invite Li Luo to visit his alma mater.

Think a little.

Li Luo did not refuse.

Since he came back, he had made corresponding preparations and was very generous in donating money to people outside. However, he was stingy when he returned to his hometown. This is unacceptable and will easily lead to criticism.

But there are some things that Li Luo just doesn't say a word about.

These guys really came up with the idea of ​​building a film and television city in this place with extremely inconvenient transportation and no special features.

You can donate money.

He didn't even think twice about investing.

The former is cutting flesh, the latter is a continuous blood transfusion.

Only a fool would take that.

Be soft when you need to be soft, and hard when you need to be hard. Just do your job well. If you agree to everything, others will treat you like a fat pig to be slaughtered!
You can’t blame these leaders for being anxious.

It's rare to catch a rich man returning home, so at this time, you have to be quick to get it.

When you see people.

You have to seize the opportunity.

Otherwise, Li Luo would run away after the New Year, and who knows when he will come back.

However, despite the urgency of the situation, the heads of various departments still maintained their composure. After all, Li Luo was still a nationally renowned public figure and a director who had won international awards.

If you really get pushed into a corner, I won’t give you face at all.

No one can do anything to him.

After practicing Tai Chi countless times, Li Luo, who was drunk and red-eared, fell on the table and pretended to be drunk under the regretful gazes of those leaders.

Wait until the noise dies down.

Li Luo climbed out of the bed swiftly, and when he came to the yard, everyone's eyes fell on him.

"Grandpa."

With a cheerful smile, Li Luo greeted quickly.

There are quite a lot of people.

Everyone was sitting around the charcoal fire, cracking melon seeds and chatting, and they were all in high spirits.

They were all talking about what happened today. They had never seen so many bigwigs visiting their home before. Thinking back on it now, they couldn't suppress their excitement.

See Li Luo appear.

Uncle, aunt, and others hurriedly tried to stand up.

After all, we haven't seen each other for a few years.

My identity is very different now. I feel familiar but also have an extremely unfamiliar sense of tension.

"Sit, sit, sit."

Li Luo quickly shook his head, pulled a chair over and squeezed in between them to sit down.

"what are you thinking?"

The hookah gurgled a few times, and Grandpa Li Luo exhaled a long puff of smoke.

The old man speaks.

The big guy quickly quieted down.

"Ah."

Li Luo took the hookah and took a big gulp, feeling the spicy taste of the hookah. "Nothing to think about. Just build a road from the town to the village to make it easier for everyone to travel."

"And donate a teaching building to each of the elementary school, middle school, and high school."

Transportation and education are both things that benefit the general public and can also buy back a good reputation to the greatest extent.

Just help out in these two areas.

As for other things.

There was no need for Li Luo to take the blame on himself.

A few light words were spoken, causing the sound of people swallowing saliva to be heard quietly at the scene.

It sounds light.

But there's nothing a few million can't do here.

The aunt across the street swallowed her saliva and kicked the uncle's foot calmly. The uncle muttered to himself and continued to smoke.

"pretty good."

Grandpa nodded and tightened his coat: "Are you stressed?"

"No."

Li Luo smiled and stuffed a pinch of tobacco into the cigarette holder.

"Ah."

After a slight hesitation, his grandfather said, "Can you spare another 500,000 yuan to renovate the old house? The house is quite old, and there is no place for more guests to stay."

Li Luo’s hometown is an ordinary rural courtyard.

Boxy structure.

Kitchen and side room.

Main house.

These are all bungalows, and they are not the best even in the village.

This time Li Luo came back with three people, and his family had to urgently vacate two rooms, otherwise there would be no room for them.

Li Luo's parents looked at each other.

No one spoke.

Over the years, Li Luo has sent a lot of money back home.

But let both of them save it.

The profession of an actor sounds really unrealistic. Earning money now does not mean you can earn the same amount in the future. Even if it is just to save money for a wife, although Li Luo earns more and more money, he has never spent any of it.

I never told the old man that I had saved several million.

Now this five hundred thousand.

The two were too lazy to say anything.

Anyway, my son has always been independent-minded, so just let him make his own decision.

"One million!"

Li Luo lit up the tobacco and smoked the hookah, making a gurgling sound: "Cover it up better, so you can live more comfortably."

If you are successful, you should also help your family.

He lived in a courtyard house and had a horse farm in the capital, but let his family live in a bungalow.

This doesn't make sense.

Anyway, when it comes to building buildings and paving roads, he is not afraid of the pointing and criticizing of his fellow villagers, and will only praise his own abilities.

When they heard the number one million, the eyes of the uncles and others lit up instantly.

The smile on his face became even more intense.

"Row."

Grandpa Li Luo took the hookah and looked around with a sharp gaze: "Since Luo is willing to pay for building a house, I, as an old man, will shamelessly agree to it for you."

"From now on, no one is allowed to borrow money from Li Luo, and even more so, no one is allowed to let him arrange a job for them."

“He has his pressure.”

“Be content.”

The hookah hit the ground heavily, and he said in a deep voice: "You have to be more self-reliant. Do you understand?"

The request for money was fake, the real purpose was to help Li Luo eliminate his worries.

With these words spoken before.

No one can covet anything from him anymore.

The old man used the money to help Li Luo get rid of some troubles. His own family members were not allowed to get involved in his affairs, and those aunts and uncles were even more embarrassed to speak up.

"Hey."

"I know dad!"

"Li Luo, you must be hungry. I'll make you a bowl of porridge to sober you up."

It's such a great benefit for nothing.

There is no reason not to smile.

Each of them looked at Li Luo with gratitude and expressed their thanks in their own way.

Little thoughts.

Everyone has this.

There's not much to say, everyone wants to live a better life when they have the chance.

Spend a small fortune.

Let everyone be happy.

For Li Luo, it was a very cost-effective expense.

The rare company of his family allowed him to completely let go of the pressure and worries of work. He took out the gifts he brought back from the capital and distributed them one by one, enjoying the New Year reunion atmosphere amid everyone's grateful thanks and laughter.

Thirty years old.

Every household prepares a reunion dinner.

Zhao Xuejing joined in killing chickens and ducks, happily experiencing the Spring Festival in the south.

Moutai opened.

Everyone sat together happily.

"Come on, come on."

Li Shen bent down and said mysteriously, "I'll show you something amazing."

With everyone watching.

He quickly picked up a large bottle of Sprite.

When they saw the picture of Li Luo wearing festive clothes, holding firecrackers and bowing to express congratulations, the laughter almost blew the roof off.

Time passes by twelve o'clock.

The brilliant fireworks that continuously burst out from Li Luo's yard made the entire small mountain village look like a dream.

The second morning.

Zhao Xuejing changed into new clothes.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a big red envelope.

"thank you boss."

The girl smiled happily, her fair face was set off by the red envelope and looked as beautiful as a peach blossom: "I wish Luo Ge good health, good luck, great fortune in the new year, and a prosperous career."

"You too."

Handing over the red envelope, Li Luo said with a smile: "I wish Xiao Zhao happy every day and hope he can find a beautiful girlfriend soon."

"what?"

Zhao Xuejing was in a mess.

"Don't~"

Li Luo stuffed the backpack in his hand into her arms, waved and turned around: "It's time for us to get to work!"

Zhao Xuejing opened it curiously.

The pupils were instantly dyed densely red.

It's a rare opportunity to come back, so paying New Year's greetings is something you have to do. Five hundred yuan for relatives and friends, two hundred yuan for the elders in the village, and fifty yuan for each non-relative who pays New Year's greetings to you. Anyway, everyone gets a share.

By Guidi's standards, this is absolutely high standard!

No one can say that he is stingy.

Red envelopes.

group photo.

After a busy morning, Li Luo was picked up by a vehicle from the county to attend an event.

What came was even more huge crowds of people.

Visit my alma mater.

In front of the county leaders, he promised to donate to build teaching buildings and repair roads, and received a round of satisfied and warm applause.

After a busy New Year's Day.

Before he even woke up on the second day of the Chinese New Year, people from the city blocked his doorstep and he was forced to go back to business. Li Luo's legs were almost thin from running around for the past two days.

If this continues, I'm afraid there will be no end to it.

That night.

Li Luo decisively packed his luggage and ran away.

I said goodbye to my family reluctantly and continued my journey with the hometown snacks prepared by my parents.

This year's Spring Festival.

It seems particularly lively and noisy.

"CJ7" and "Slam Dunk" are advancing side by side in the film market, and are constantly sweeping the box office with extremely hot momentum.

Although the increase is not as fierce as that in "CJ7".

But with the current momentum of "Slam Dunk", it is only a matter of time before the box office exceeds 100 million.

Wu Dun's face was beaming with joy.

But at the same time.

The co-producers of the film were a bit unhappy, as more photos broke out online on the third day of the Chinese New Year.

this incident.

The Hong Kong social circle has become a mess.

People in the Hong Kong circle have both joy and sorrow. They are happy about their competitors in the same ecosystem, as it is really laughable to see the film, television and commercial resources falling from their opponents.

Those who are worried are those with foresight, as the prospects for Hong Kong's film industry are not optimistic to begin with.

Now it’s all this trouble.

It's like the house is leaking and it rains all night.

After greeting his sisters, Li Luo no longer paid attention to this matter. He returned to Beijing to rest for two days, and after attending the celebration banquet for "Slam Dunk" which had broken the 60 million box office, he plunged into the editing room.

I started working on the editing of "Silent Separation".

The Lantern Festival is here in the blink of an eye.

Li Luo, hiding in the editing room, looked at Lin Yue blankly, indicating that he didn't quite understand what she meant.

"Snapped!"

Manager Lin slapped his forehead and said with a smile, "Did you forget that you took on another film? Hurry up and pack your bags. I've already processed your visa. You'll be on a flight to North America tomorrow."

"North America?"

Li Luo gulped down a big gulp of coffee.

"North America."

Lin Yue nodded heavily.
