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

Chapter 463 New Crew

Suddenly appeared in front of Li Luo.

It was Kristen Stewart, the heroine of "Twilight".

Twilight girl.

It is the biggest label attached to the other person.

There is no doubt that Kristen is extremely lucky. Although she debuted as a child star and acted in many movies, she never made much of a splash. However, when she was about to turn eighteen, she had the most splendid coming-of-age ceremony.

Thanks to "Twilight", he became a nationally renowned idol and was crazily followed by countless teenagers.

Easily earn wealth that ordinary people can't imagine.

But Twilight Girl.

It is also the label that the other party wants to tear off the most.

Perhaps out of some kind of rebellious psychology, many Hollywood actors who became famous at a young age hate their famous works.

The hero and heroine of this movie.

is also like this.

After enjoying the glory brought by "Twilight", both of them used various unique ways and continued to try various literary and artistic films, hoping to tear off the stereotype labels on themselves.

After all, I am financially free.

I just want to pursue something spiritual.

Another thing is that this is also a way for actors to expand their acting range.

Forever fixed in the frame.

It’s very difficult for actors as well.

This is the reason why many Hollywood actors in later generations resisted superhero movies. They would rather give up the opportunity to make money than be confined to one role for the next ten years.

But speaking of being unique.

This girl in front of me is really unique.

Cheating and coming out.

All kinds of fancy buzz cuts and ugly outfits are ways to say goodbye to the past.

Since Twilight Girl.

Li Luo got to know this girl again because of a short film. Kristen was wearing jeans and a tattered white T-shirt, with sunglasses on her face and a cigarette in her mouth, dancing casually next to a gas station.

That look was really cool.

Having had similar experiences to the other party, Li Luo could also understand why the other party would encounter various situations later.

At the age of 18, he became famous all over the United States.

He became a millionaire at the age of nineteen.

When he was 20 years old, his pay soared to tens of millions of dollars.

The magic of money is enough to make anyone go to their head. They enjoy the flattery from all walks of life, are cheered crazily by fans wherever they go, and are always under the spotlight no matter what they do.

Li Luo had been confused in his two lifetimes.

Not to mention Christine.

Not only will people lose themselves in the glitz and glamour, but it will also bring about tremendous psychological pressure. People in this situation may even have the impulse to self-destruct, and it is not surprising that they will do anything.

Many Hollywood child stars have fallen.

In fact, they are all due to similar psychological conditions.

But now.

The Christine in front of me still looked a bit young. She was about 1.65 meters tall and looked very well-proportioned. Her facial features were three-dimensional, her eyebrows were deep, and her green eyes were almost like cat's eyes.

The straight nose bridge carries a hint of aggression.

Her face is as delicate as a doll.

wrong.

This is a doll.

"Hey, this is our Isabella."

Hearing the shout, Godfrey and Mel both turned around, and the former immediately stepped aside with a smile: "Come over and say hello to Jacob. I think you will have a very pleasant cooperation in the future."

"Li Luo."

Li Luo took the lead in extending his hand and emphasized with a smile: "Li is my last name. I am very happy to meet you."

The foreigner’s surname comes last.

The name comes first.

If I don’t explain it at the same time, people would think my last name is Luo!

"Kristen Stewart."

Kristen hurriedly tidied up her messy hair, then quickly shook the hand that was handed to her: "Welcome to join our big family."

She has actually always been curious about the actor who plays Jacob.

If everything goes well.

Then we will inevitably work together frequently in the future.

However, the crew never revealed any information about the actor who would play Jacob, and he was never seen in the final photos, promotional photos, or script readings, so it became a topic of speculation among the crew.

Unexpectedly, after the official filming started for a while, the other person suddenly appeared in front of me.

An oriental face suddenly appeared.

That charming smile and great figure.

this time.

It made her a little flustered.

This guy's hands were warm, just like the description of werewolves in books. He looked really handsome, but the way he introduced himself was weird.

Great skin.

His eyes are as bright as spring water.

As she greeted him, a chaotic stream of thoughts flashed through the girl's mind.

"Thank you."

Li Luo nodded in thanks.

He shook hands with the other person, then quickly let go.

Christine suppressed her curiosity, smiled and nodded to Godfrey and Mel, then said sorry to Li Luo, then wrapped in a thick jacket, went to the room closest to the outside and opened the door.

Li Luo withdrew his gaze.

I didn’t expect that we were neighbors.

"She's very tired today."

Looking at the actor he had worked so hard to find in Cannes, Godfrey adjusted his glasses with a smile and said, "But Mel, I and all my colleagues in the crew are looking forward to your arrival."

"How about we go down and say hello to them?"

"no problem."

Li Luo naturally didn't say anything.

Getting familiar with crew members is a necessary job for every actor. Although some actors can still shoot a good scene even if they curse at each other, there is no doubt that good chemistry can make the shooting effect better.

Although I didn’t have many scenes with other actors in the first film.

But the necessary greetings should not be missed.

Pick up your coat and put it on.

Li Luo followed the two people down the stairs.

Crossing the parking lot, they headed straight for the brightly lit restaurant on the left. Through the windows they could see people inside playing or queuing up for their meals.

"No need to be nervous."

Meier put his hands in his pockets and smiled as he followed Li Luo's steps: "We are a very young crew. I believe this will be a very interesting journey for you. Just enjoy it."

"correct."

"Can I ask something out of curiosity?"

"How much did your movie 'Raging Fire' earn in China?"

Not only Mel was curious, but even Wick Godfrey cast an inquiring look at him. The reason why he came to welcome him as soon as he returned to the crew was out of respect for him as a fellow producer.

To them.

Being able to write, direct and star in an acclaimed film.

This is simply an artist.

"Two hundred million."

Li Luo did not hide it and smiled and stretched out two fingers.

"Oh~~~"

Wyke Godfrey's eyes widened instantly, and then he said with great envy: "This is really a crazy number, even for Hollywood."

He knew very well that the face value of China's currency was similar to that of the United States.

Although the purchasing power is different.

But there is no need to make any conversions, just think about how amazing it is to get a box office of 200 million in Hollywood.

Mel was also surprised and immediately congratulated Li Luo with emotion.

Not to mention 200 million.

If only "Twilight" could gross over $100 million.

I guess she would be so happy that she would go crazy.

While talking.

Several people walked into the motel restaurant together.

The environment can be said to be quite simple, but it is also warmly decorated. Tables are placed in the restaurant, and various photos and quite distinctive car license plates are posted on the walls.

After a busy day, the crew members were either queuing up for food or enjoying a meal.

Several people looked at each other.

Li Luo stood in the middle with a smile.

"Everyone."

Wyck Godfrey clapped his hands vigorously. The crisp applause echoed in every corner of the restaurant, attracting puzzled looks from everyone.

"Excuse me for a few minutes."

Looking around, Wyke Godfrey raised his hand and gestured to the side, "The person standing next to me is Li Luo. You can call him Li. Today, Li officially joins the crew. The role he plays is Jacob Black."

Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Li Luo.

Curious and exploratory.

There are all kinds of meanings in the looks of these people.

Like Kristen, no one, except a few, knew who would play Jacob.

curious.

It’s an inevitable emotion.

In Hollywood.

There are a number of actors of Asian and Indian descent.

It's no surprise that you feel surprised when a strange face suddenly appears.

Li Luo greeted everyone's gaze with a smile, without any sign of stage fright. The familiar faces in front of him made him feel extremely interesting.

Vampire family.

The heroine's friend at school.

Of course, the male protagonist, who is extremely handsome in the eyes of Westerners, is also indispensable.

The crew is indeed young enough, and most of the actors are handsome men and beautiful women. However, this movie is mainly aimed at the youth market, and it is impossible to find a bunch of ugly people to play the roles.

Fans of the original novel will be furious if that happens.

“To emphasize.”

Wyke Godfrey took off his black-framed glasses and said to the 20 or 30 people in front of him, "This is Lee's first time in America, but he is a very good actor and a very good action actor."

"Oh~~~"

Upon hearing this, there was a sudden commotion in the restaurant.

Many strong guys narrowed their eyes and looked up and down at the slender Li Luo.

The meaning of doubt.

It couldn't be more obvious.

In Hollywood, anyone who dares to call himself an action actor must be very talented, otherwise he will not be able to survive in the highly competitive market. However, the producer actually said that this guy is a very good action actor.

Nothing that can be observed supports the other party's point of view at all.

As the saying goes, you look muscular when you take off your clothes, and you look thin when you put on your clothes.

Now wearing a coat, Li Luo obviously looks like a tall and thin oriental man. Besides his stunning looks.

Nothing special about it.

"Lutz."

Wyke Godfrey looked at the big guy who was making the loudest noise, spread his hands and said, "I strongly suggest that you don't mess with Lee. This is very sincere advice, otherwise you will get kicked in the ass by him."

“I will definitely pretend not to see it.”

"Hahaha."

Everyone in the restaurant burst into laughter.

Hands kept slapping the big guy who was shaking his head and chuckling.

If Li Luo remembered correctly, Lutz played a member of the vampire family, the one with a buzz cut and the strongest physique. "OK."

Wyke Godfrey waved his hands and looked around with a smile: "How about letting Lee see the passion of our crew?"

The words fell.

There was thunderous applause and cheers in the restaurant.

Although the investment in the "Twilight" crew is not small, it is definitely not an A-level production. For this reason, most of the actors in the crew are quasi-newcomers who have more or less some acting experience.

But there is nothing worth showing off.

Among them, the one with the most impressive resume.

The male lead.

But the other party only played a supporting role in the movie "Harry Potter".

Because everyone is a newcomer, there is no situation of using resumes to pressure others in the "Twilight" crew. During the filming period, the atmosphere was quite relaxed and happy.

Also for this reason.

When facing Li Luo, who is also a newcomer, they have nothing to be proud of.

Hollywood is also very good at playing with celebrity status.

After all, the other party is nominally the second male lead. No matter what he thinks in his heart, he must appear enthusiastic in front of the producer.

Led by Godfrey.

Li Luo smiled and walked forward to shake hands, listening to each person introducing themselves.

The big guy who had just started the commotion didn't cause any trouble. He smiled and shook hands with Li Luo to express his welcome.

From this moment on.

He has officially joined the crew.

"Hi."

When we got to the back, the male lead with sharp cheeks stood up and stretched out his hand: "Robert Pattinson, I'm the actor who plays Edward Cullen, nice to meet you."

Speaks with a British accent.

Although he was the leading male role, the other party was also very polite.

Filming is often just a job. There are times when things get really serious, but most of the time everyone is just colleagues.

Not so much intrigue.

They are all young people in their teens and twenties, and they can’t do so many fancy things.

After shaking hands with the other party.

Li Luo finally met the director of the crew.

My mind quickly recalled the information I had obtained earlier.

Catherine Hardwicke.

Female director.

He is an artist by profession and only started directing in 03. Twilight is his fourth work as a director.

From director to actor.

The whole movie exudes a rookie vibe.

But it was this seemingly floppy lineup that actually created a box office miracle.

"I've actually heard of your name."

Picking up a tissue to wipe the corner of his mouth, Hardwick looked at Li Luo with appreciation: "Winner of the 60th Cannes Film Festival Golden Camera Award, and I was also fortunate enough to see the movie shot by Mr. Li."

"Wick is absolutely right."

"You are indeed a very good actor and a very good action actor."

"But it seems to me."

Hardwick smiled and extended his hand, unable to help but exclaim: "You are an excellent screenwriter and director. I hope to see more of your excellent works. I am also very happy that Mr. Li Luo can join the Twilight crew."

"Pfft~"

Pattinson, who was sitting next to him, coughed so violently that food crumbs sprayed directly onto the table.

"sorry."

He patted his chest and apologized repeatedly. While wiping the table, the vampire looked at Li Luo across from him in shock, thinking that the other party was also a new actor.

What the hell is winning the Caméra d'Or?

Screenwriter and director, what's going on here?

Although he was full of questions, he quickly got up and went to the bathroom because he was in such an embarrassing situation.

"Thank you, director."

Li Luo withdrew his gaze from the other person and quickly shook the female director's hand: "My current identity is just an actor. I just want to integrate into the team and do my best to play the role of Jacob well."

Difficult actors are everywhere.

Hollywood is no exception.

Those top-tier celebrities are just as fierce when they get angry. They change the script, interfere with editing rights, demand replacement of actors, use stand-ins, are late, refuse to shoot, and even fight with strangers when they are high.

There is nothing they dare not do except tax evasion.

Li Luo made this statement.

Hardwick nodded with satisfaction.

The meaning of his words was clear enough, indicating that he would definitely respect himself as a director and would not waste the goodwill he had just shown.

In fact, she originally had objections to the choice of Jacob.

There was no communication.

Just stuff someone into the cast list.

Although Hollywood is a producer-centered system, this is somewhat disrespectful to her status. However, when Wyck Godfrey handed her the Cannes information, the female director shut up instantly.

And they are looking forward to Li Luo's arrival.

If Wick Godfrey hadn't said hello, she would definitely have been in the team that came to welcome them.

The value of Cannes is fully reflected here.

That is a resounding golden sign.

It is also a certification of strength.

Any relevant practitioner will know when they learn that someone has won a Cannes award.

You have to look at it with a higher regard anyway.

After saying hello, the next thing is some work matters.

Wick Godfrey said that tomorrow will also be a time for Li Luo to adjust his condition. The main work arrangements will be to try on makeup and study the crew with the actors who have opposite roles. He also suggested that he communicate more with the crew members.

I hope he can integrate into the crew as soon as possible in terms of language and living conditions.

"correct."

Scratching his beard, Godfrey thought of something: "You actors are all very charming guys. It's normal for young people to want to have some fun on the set."

"But I have to remind you."

"Don't ever try to have anything happen with Kristen."

"what?"

Li Luo couldn't hold it in any longer.

I have been on so many film crews, big and small, but this is the first time a producer has said something like this in public.

"not kidding."

Godfrey looked at him seriously, and said in a serious tone: "Christine is only 17 years old now. I don't want to see you go to jail. This is a promise that must be made to the crew."

"It's not just you, it's Robert too."

"clear."

Li Luo's face straightened and he emphasized, "I'm here to film a scene."

Make sure he understands what he means.

Godfrey nodded in satisfaction.

After chatting with a few senior executives of the crew for a while, Li Luo quickly said goodbye and walked towards the dining table.

Integrating into the crew is a long process, and some things cannot be rushed.

Eating is the top priority.

Looking at the steaks, sandwiches, pizzas, donuts, hamburgers, French fries, and various drinks and salads on the dining table, Li Luo thought he had come to Pizza Hut.

Muttering a few words about adapting to local customs, he slammed a large T-bone steak onto his plate.

The donuts look fancy.

Taste it.

Add some salad and drinks and dinner is done.

He turned around with the food tray.

Seeing Godfrey and others discussing something, Li Luo did not choose to disturb them. Instead, he found an empty table and sat down.

When you come to an unfamiliar environment, you should break out of your comfort zone.

You can't always hang out with people you know.

This series of actions were all carried out under the gaze of others. After exchanging glances, the big guy immediately stood up with the dinner plate and walked in front of Li Luo:
"Mind some company?"

"will not."

Li Luo picked up his knife and fork and looked happily at the young men and women who kept looking at him. "In fact, anyone from your Cullen family can come over. Werewolves will never be afraid of vampires."

The humorous words immediately caused a burst of laughter.

A few people nearby.

Just bring the plate over.

Although they had only known each other for a short time, they had spent some time together and were naturally curious about this Asian man who had just joined the crew.

“First time in America.”

Putting down the plate, Ashley Greene was the first to ask, "Lee, where are you from?"

It's not surprising to be known as a Cullen.

When introducing themselves just now, everyone present briefly described the role they played or the job they held.

The person sitting opposite and asking the first question was a white woman with short black hair. She looked quite sexy and a bit playful. She played the female vampire Alice Cullen in the play.

"China."

Smiling and nodding at the other party, Li Luo grabbed the donut that looked very appetizing.

"Oh~~~"

The few people who came over looked as if they had suddenly realized something.

Chinese = Kung Fu.

This is a stereotype in North America.

Although their bodies looked ordinary, their Chinese identity instantly made them accept the term action actor.

"No wonder."

The blonde girl sitting next to Greene nodded and said curiously, "The action director of our movie is also Chinese. He is from Hong Kong Island and has worked with Jackie Chan before."

“Do you know Jackie Chan?”

This girl is called Nikki Reed, and she and the big guy Lutz next to her play a couple in the play.

Sweet looks.

The breast flesh is white inside the zipper of the jacket.

Quite eye-catching.

As soon as the name Jackie Chan came out, the expressions of the people sitting around became excited.

You really are worthy of being called Brother Fang Long.

The influence is beyond doubt.

Li Luo didn't expect that he would hear the other party's name when he went to the crew in North America.

No rush to reply.

He took a bite of the donut that was already in front of his mouth.

next moment.

Li Luo almost jumped up.

asshole!

Is this something people eat?

The extreme sweetness rushed from his mouth to the top of his head, making him almost spit the donut out of his mouth.

"what happened?"

The drastic change in expression startled Greene.

Li Luo waved his hand.

He quickly grabbed the drink and took a big gulp.

"Gudu!"

However, as several people were staring in confusion, Li Luo's eyes suddenly widened, and then he swallowed the food in his mouth with an extremely painful expression.

This strange reaction scared them so much that they immediately looked back at the food on their plates.

Nothing special!

This guy looks like he's swallowed poison.
