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

Chapter 513 Don't Play the Positioning Game
As soon as Li Luo asked that question.

The beautiful female secretary standing in front of him, wearing a dark blue pencil skirt and a white shirt tucked in, suddenly shuddered, and her fair skin turned pink at a visible speed.

The vibrant colors, like rouge, spread downwards.

From the slender neck to the delicate collarbone, and all the way down to the bottom of the unbuttoned button.

This delicate pink color.

Then he quietly disappeared from Li Luo's sight.

It wasn't that the color disappeared, but rather that it was mercilessly concealed by the violently undulating white shirt.

Zhao Xuejing's breathing was extremely rapid at this moment.

My head was buzzing.

bad girl
I don't understand what it means, but it's definitely not a good word.

He's a womanizer!

She's never even held hands with anyone; she just secretly reads a few...not-so-serious romance novels while at work.

But what does this have to do with being a womanizer?

Will it still be awkward?

They've never done it before, who knows if it'll be awkward!

mix.
The boss is so mean!

In a flash, a bunch of random thoughts flashed through Zhao Xuejing's mind. Our female assistant was so angry with Li Luo that she almost trembled all over, and her breath was as hot as burning coals.

"Feel sorry."

Seeing the girl blushing, Li Luo quickly raised his hand in alarm: "I was just asking casually, look how excited you are, you can't let your nose bleed again."

"boss!!!"

Zhao Xuejing wanted to cry but had no tears, and stomped her feet heavily.

With a crisp snap, the white shirt that clung to her graceful figure began to tremble.

Li Luo's gaze swept over it.

Without teasing the other person any further, he walked up the stairs with a hearty laugh.

He didn't go back to his office to wash up. Instead, he went directly to the audition room at the direction of the staff. He didn't bother to go into the actors' waiting area to greet them. It would take him less than half an hour to greet all the actors, agents, and assistants.

Some times.

It's also necessary to put on a show of respect appropriately.

For example, Leung Chiu-wai is suspected of faking social anxiety to avoid social interaction, creating a persona of someone who is not good at speaking and dislikes external things.

Sometimes I do things in a rather impolite way.

No one will find it strange.

If every actor who comes to audition has to go in and greet us, what will become of our prestige as the CEO of Xinghuo Films?
Ok.

Although there were many familiar faces today.

With a cheerful laugh, Li Luo strode forward, surrounded by his subordinates.

As his figure swept past the entrance to the actors' waiting area, the actors and their entourage sitting inside quickly perked up, only to watch with regret as that tall figure quietly disappeared.

Look at each other.

The actors who came to audition held their breath and concentrated.

Although Li Luo did not direct "Under the Zhengyang Gate," it was still a TV series co-produced by Xinghuo Film and Television and Changsheng Film and Television.

The director is also quite famous.

No matter what, there are well-known works like "The Eloquent Ji Xiaolan".

He has also won the Top Ten Directors Award.

Despite his previous roles as a broker and escort, Liu Jiacheng is still a force to be reckoned with, even when he just strolls around Hengdian. That's the kind of confidence that comes with a representative work.

In addition, there was a publicly announced investment of 25 million.

Even if you squeeze out the excess, it's still more reliable than many films and TV dramas produced in Hengdian. It has the feel of a professional production.

As a result, actors flocked to it.

That's not surprising.

In the vast waiting area for the actors, some were calm and composed, while others were nervously muttering to themselves. There were also quite a few people resting with their eyes closed, all accumulating energy for the opportunity that might come their way.

Ten minutes passed quietly.

The door to the audition room opened, and everyone's eyes turned to it.

"number 01."

Zhao Xuejing glanced at the folder in her hand, drew a checkmark on it with a ballpoint pen, and then smiled and looked up: "Actor Zhao Ke, are you here?"

"exist."

A crisp response rang out.

A slightly tall figure quickly stood up from the corner. She was a pretty girl with a high ponytail. After giving high-fives to the people sitting next to her, she walked into the audition room in flat shoes.

His expression was quite confident.

Her slender waist swayed gracefully.

"Yes."

The agent shook his head and muttered under his breath, "Another spot is missing."

"How to say?"

The actors under his command expressed their confusion.

"She's from Beijing Film Academy."

The agent leaned back, her lips barely moving as she said, "She's also Li Luo's classmate. Do you think she might be chosen?"

"Oh~~~"

The actor suddenly realized.

Looking at Zhao Ke's back, their eyes filled with envy, wishing they could be students at the Beijing Film Academy as well.

There's something that's practically common knowledge in the industry: Brother Luo has a fiery temper, and anyone who messes with him will suffer. He recently had a major falling out with Wang Jiawei's company.

It seemed like he was in the wrong, but in the end, Liu Zhenwei had to personally go to the "Ip Man" film crew to apologize before things calmed down.

Although Liu Zhenwei came and went in a hurry.

But anyone with eyes can see and understand that he used to bow his head.

Although very low-key.

But it still spread quickly within the industry.

But compared to that, there is something else that everyone knows: Luo Ge is not only handsome and witty, but most importantly, he is a loyal and righteous person, and he is a first-class friend!
Let alone running a film and television company now, even when he was an actor, he spared no effort in arranging roles for his classmates.

The TV series "The Legend of Xue Rengui" is an example.

That was something else; they practically got the entire Class of 01 from the Beijing Film Academy to act in it.

When I saw the news.

Industry peers were almost dumbfounded.

When others help each other, they usually pull in two or three close classmates. But this guy went and pulled together what felt like a whole little gang.

After you recover from the shock.

No one may give a thumbs up.

Regardless of the size of the role or the amount of screen time, this is truly a righteous act!

I also heard a rumor that an actress, because of his connections, displeased Haiyan, a bigwig in the Beijing entertainment circle, who forcibly removed her from the small role she was supposed to play. But Haiyan then promptly cast her in a major supporting role in Hu Zi's "The Art of War".

It is also rumored that this incident was because Brother Luo had a private relationship with that actress.

hey~~~
Never mind that.

The industry doesn't take this seriously at all. If anyone dares to pat their chest and guarantee that sleeping with someone will land them a major supporting role, the swarms of people will surely break their bed!
We have all kinds of tastes, from innocent schoolgirls to energetic young men.

Everything can be arranged clearly and logically.

They actually managed to get a role.

They'll even praise you for being meticulous in your work!

Seeing the closed door, the actor quickly turned his attention back to the room. What can you do when someone has such a good classmate? You can't be envious of that.

Thinking so much is useless.

As long as it fits the role, Brother Luo is still very willing to give it a chance.

Ding Haifeng has absolutely no connection with Brother Luo. The former Wu Song, who played the wanderer, got a supporting role in the movie "Painted Skin" based on his own abilities, and was about to usher in the second spring of his career.

this opportunity.

It's not impossible for it to happen to you.

She wasn't the only one with this idea.

Every actor in this large room had a glimmer of hope in their eyes, yearning for a new turning point in their acting career.

The audition began.

In the viewfinder in front of Li Luo, all sorts of actors appeared one after another.

The lines, some calm and steady, others crisp and clear, were delivered one by one. After rehearsing their lines, the actors had to put on costumes popular in the 1950s and 60s to see if they suited the feel of that era.

Even Zhao Ke and others cannot omit certain steps.

Taking care of them is one thing.

Li Luo, however, would not joke about those twenty million.

Not only should you be responsible for your own money, but you should also be responsible for other people's money. If it's really not suitable, you should reject it even if it's someone you know well.

It's normal for a project to fail, but it's wrong if it fails because of poor personnel management.

Intermediate losses.

It will be their own business reputation.

This thing is intangible and hard to see, but it's very important for navigating the world. Some people can boast to the skies, but others will always be suspicious of them and extremely cautious when placing bets.

For example, Zhou Hongyi.

Some people don't need to say much; just their presence alone makes people feel at ease, knowing that they will do things properly.

I'm willing to invest any amount of money.

Like Lei Jun.

Li Luo also needs to cultivate his business reputation, so that people don't perceive him as flamboyant.

However, it is also extremely reliable.

Putting aside the question of whether or not there's any investment involved, at the very least, it's a plus for brands when considering spokespeople, as it involves a lot of money.

With each stroke of the pen, the roles in the play "Under the Zhengyang Gate" were finalized.

"The production is good."

With slightly hurried footsteps, the girl, looking a little nervous, stood steadily in front of the camera. Looking at the two people sitting opposite her, she felt a sense of déjà vu.

This time, however, I don't need to take my clothes off!
"Hello, Sister Xuejing."

Ganlu shifted his gaze and looked happily at the female assistant sitting next to Luo Ge.

Although after leaving the crew.

Inevitably, everyone's contact decreased, but they still exchanged text messages occasionally. It was only with Zhao Xuejing's encouragement that she gritted her teeth and submitted her unremarkable resume for this audition.

She couldn't be more grateful to Zhao Xuejing for giving her the opportunity to audition.

"Okay!"

Zhao Xuejing shifted her posture somewhat awkwardly, her smile appearing a little stiff.

I always feel like someone is looking at me sideways.

That extremely amused gaze made her buttocks ache slightly.

Despite trying to appear calm, Zhao Xuejing recalled the last time she was in this place, when she covered her nose and fled in a panic, and that feeling of sitting on pins and needles intensified.

"I'm."

Taking a deep breath, Gan Lu stood up straight: "I am actor Gan Lu, 20 years old this year, from the Central Academy of Drama. I once played the role of a nurse in the anti-Japanese war TV series 'Beacon Fire'."

"And period dramas."

Hearing the other person's words, Li Luo suppressed his upturned smile.

Listen attentively.

The acting resume the other party kept mentioning consisted mostly of minor roles without even a name, but there was no mention of his experience as a stunt double in "Painted Skin".

The meaning is quite obvious: it's about what's standing right in front of you now.

She's an actor!
Moreover, Li Luo was also surprised by the other party's experience.

It's not just that going from extravagance to frugality is difficult.

Those who have made easy money and taken shortcuts will find it extremely difficult to settle down again. The other person was able to resolutely choose to work on film sets and play all sorts of minor roles, going through all the hardships again.

This kind of persistence and effort is well worth taking seriously.

When Ganlu's voice faded away.

Li Luo meticulously began the audition process, treating the other person differently simply because they had previously undressed in front of him; doing so would be disrespectful to their hard work. He had already sensed the other person's talent during the filming of "Painted Skin."

Although he was a stunt double.

There was absolutely no chance for them to appear on camera.

But Ganlu also tried his best to understand the performance and attempted to enter the character's heart.

Now we are prepared.

This brought Li Luo an unexpected surprise.

Although the acting was still a bit too over-the-top, playing a minor role with a name and lines in "Under the Zhengyang Gate" was no problem at all, and the other person was capable of handling it.

He smiled and nodded.

His pen tip poked the audition form.

Wait a moment.

Now that the important business is done.

So why not do something interesting? If someone dares to play dirty tricks under the boss's nose, they deserve a little 'lesson'.

"not bad."

With a chuckle to himself, Li Luo raised his head with a calm expression: "Gan Lu, your performance was excellent. To be honest, it impressed me quite a bit. Your character will have a short kissing scene in the drama."

"Could you please demonstrate that state?"

"it is good!"

Ganlu nodded excitedly.

I never expected to receive such praise from Brother Luo. In my excitement, I'd rather not perform a kissing scene, or even take my clothes off... well, that's probably best avoided!

Although...it doesn't matter in front of Luo Ge.

He simply nodded.

The young woman looked completely bewildered.

There has to be a place for a kissing scene; you can't just randomly kiss thin air.

As his gaze shifted...

Her heart pounded as she looked at Li Luo.

Unfortunately, Luo Ge turned his gaze in another direction, and our classmate Gan Lu subconsciously followed suit.

"what?"

The two men were staring intently at her, which left Zhao Xuejing bewildered. She pointed at herself and asked, "Why are you both looking at me like that?"

"No no no."

Seeing Brother Luo raise an eyebrow slightly, Secretary Zhao hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't know what you want to do, but I'm definitely not suitable. I'm not an actor. You...you go do it yourself!"

"Bang, bang."

Li Luo bent his fingers and tapped them lightly against the viewfinder.

"Sister Xuejing."

Ganlu clasped his hands together and pleaded repeatedly, "Please help me, just cooperate for a little while, like when we were rehearsing our lines."

The situation is now excellent.

She didn't want anything to go wrong at the last minute.

"Ah this."

Zhao Xuejing even stuttered a little when she spoke.

As an assistant interviewer, helping to rehearse the lines is part of my job. It's not difficult at all; you just need to hold the paper and read the content aloud.

But now, they're actually making me cooperate in a kissing scene!!!
Just imagining that scene...

Our Secretary Zhao was so ashamed that his thighs tensed up and his throat felt dry.

"What is this?"

Li Luo didn't give her any time to think. He banged on the table and said, "It's just a kissing scene. If it weren't for the need to see how the performance goes, I would have done it myself. You just need to stand there and cooperate."

"Hurry up, there are other people waiting to audition!"

"Sister Jing~"

Ganlu watched longingly.

"Okay."

Under repeated urging and requests from the two, Zhao Xuejing finally succumbed to the pressure.

Just stand.
Kissing scenes are always done using camera tricks anyway.

Swallowing hard, Secretary Zhao stood up, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness, and slowly walked forward.

Her buttocks, encased in a pencil skirt, swayed, and the white shirt tucked in was gently moved by her waist.

This silhouette.

She exudes the charm of an office lady.

Li Luo chuckled inwardly, secretly despising Zhao Xuejing. She had clearly done all sorts of things, so why was she putting on such a hypocritical act? Her coy, feigned reluctance was really convincing.

unknown.

She could fool them all.

Ok.

Look at him, he's clearly still hung up on her!
otherwise.

Ganlu wouldn't be like that either.

I'll just consider it a good deed, letting you two relive your old dreams. It's only right that I, as a great person, take a look too!

Li Luo gave himself a silent pat on the back and looked with great interest at the female secretary who had walked up to Gan Lu.

Watching others perform.

Zhao Xuejing usually feels very relaxed.

Especially during auditions, it's nothing more than reciting lines with various expressions and tones.

But they can come in front of the camera.

She instantly felt a sense of disarray, not knowing where to put her hands and feet, especially when she saw Gan Lu so close by, she was so nervous that she kept swallowing.

To put it bluntly, they have absolutely no idea what they should do.

Gan Lu, however, understood very well.

She twisted her neck and stared intently at Li Luo.

"Ah."

Li Luo crossed his arms and said in a serious tone, "This scene is about two people reuniting after a long separation, so as the woman, you need to be more proactive and enthusiastic!"

"Used to express that feeling of longing."

"Seriously."

"Stop using decoys, three, two, one, power on!"

Although he is a directing major, Gan Lu is interested in acting, so he still has the basic qualities of an actor. The most basic of these is to listen carefully to the director's requirements.

Being proactive, enthusiastic, and never using any pretense of positioning—she quickly grasped the key points.
Another basic requirement is that when the sound of the camera starting up is announced, the actors must quickly get into performance mode.

On the contrary, however...

Zhao Xuejing's mind was in complete chaos at that moment.

While she was still wondering if there was anything wrong with her position, our classmate Gan Lu had already strode forward and wrapped his hand around her soft waist along the silky shirt.

You can sign up to be a stunt double.

Ganlu was certainly not the kind of person who would hesitate or be coy.

Seeing that Xuejing seemed flustered and unable to react, she assumed that the other was just embarrassed in front of the camera. She first gave her an encouraging look, and then kissed her in a flash.

"Well!!!"

The moment her lips touched him, Zhao Xuejing's eyes widened as if they were copper bells.

That feeling.

It made her head explode.

自己
My first kiss!!!
Before she could even react, a little goldfish swam nimbly over, and with just a little effort, easily leaped over her teeth and happily found its friend.

Despite being a little shy, Ganlu guessed that this was the kind of passionate effect that Loki wanted!
She stirred things up.

Then they exchanged breaths and faint perfume scents.

The secretary, Zhao, never imagined that the scenes from the romance novels she used to secretly chuckle at would one day suddenly happen to her. At this moment, her mind was completely spinning.

He could no longer breathe.

He slumped weakly against Gan Lu.
With his eyes fixed on the monitor, Li Luo crossed his legs and pressed down hard on the golden mace. He had completely erased the word "click" from his dictionary at this moment, and he was watching with great interest.

Hehe ~
That's really interesting!!!
After Gan Lu's audition ended and Liu Jiacheng finished scouting the filming location, he rushed back to the company. With the director taking over the audition work, our assistant Zhao was finally able to leave.

He could only look at the other person's flushed face and unsteady steps.

Liu Jiacheng blinked.

I was completely baffled.

As Li Luo suppressed a laugh, the audition continued. They were so busy that they only had a simple boxed lunch for dinner and didn't finish until after 9 p.m.

Just as he was tidying up the documents, his phone started buzzing.

Seeing the caller ID on the screen, Li Luo quickly answered the call, waved to Liu Jiacheng to finish up the remaining work, and strode out of the audition room.

"Brother Luo!"

A slightly tired voice came from the other side.

tired.

But I was quite excited.

"How about it?"

Li Luo walked down the corridor toward his office, cheerfully asking, "Looks like you had a pretty good day, but I'm only interested in the most important piece of good news!"

"Okay~"

A soft chuckle came from the other side, followed by the slight rustling of pages turning: "But I'll keep you in suspense for a moment. One of the offers is exactly what its name suggests."

Can you guess who it is?

"Lin Cheng?"

Li Luo immediately gave the answer.

"You're so boring!"

After a lazy, coquettish remark, Lin Yue's tone quickly became excited: "However, Tonglu is indeed the most sincere. They gave us Xinghuo Film and Television the land we surveyed for free."

"They were in charge of the demolition work, and the preliminary infrastructure construction was also handled entirely by Tonglu according to our requirements."

"Water supply, electricity, drainage, land leveling, and so on."

"Taxes will be reduced or exempted for the corresponding number of years."

"We provide one-stop service, simplify the approval process for all projects, shorten the approval time, and establish a comprehensive department to follow up on the work in all aspects, so that our projects can start construction as soon as we acquire land."

"nice!"

Li Luo stopped in his tracks.

The conditions offered are indeed quite sincere.

"besides."

Lin Yue continued flipping through the initial draft of the contract, speaking rapidly: "County Chief Lin, considering the issue of hosting the film crew later, proposed to give up part of the adjacent land to our Xinghuo Film and Television."

"Used for the construction of hotels, apartments, and other leisure and entertainment venues."

“About this.”

"It also covers the conditions from before."

"in addition."

Before Li Luo could speak, she excitedly added, "Projects that start filming in the film city within the corresponding timeframe can receive financial subsidies from Tonglu, provided they meet certain conditions."

"The specific amount ranges from 500,000 to 5 million yuan."

"Ouch!"

Li Luo's eyes shone brightly.

Not only did they fully cooperate, but they also provided land, policies, and finally, they found ways to provide financial support. This is just too much!

"correct."

After regaining her composure slightly, Lin Yue's voice rang out softly:

“Our Mr. Li Luo.”

"Excuse me."

Do you want to take out a loan?
