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

Chapter 515 The Undisputed Handsome Guy
The opening theme song continued playing regardless of the audience's changing thoughts, with one after another, silhouette-like scenes appearing on the screen in sync with the music.

The moment I saw myself appear.

Despite having acted in over twenty TV dramas, Tan Kai, who plays the domineering CEO, couldn't contain his excitement.

As for Liu Shishi, Yuan Hong, Sun Yizhou, Jiang Shuying, and others.

He was already grinning like an idiot.

However, industry professionals who are paying attention to the premiere of this drama are twitching at the corners of their eyes. The executive producer is Li Luo, the lead actor is Li Luo, the screenwriter is Li Luo, and if I remember correctly, the director will also be Li Luo later.

The previous film to display this information.
"Gudu."

The sound of swallowing saliva echoed from all corners of the country, and no one dared to think about it carefully.

The opening theme song was nearing its end.

A scene from the show quietly appeared on the television screen.

Wearing long trench coats and scarves, Li Luo and Huang Shengyi appeared together again before the audience, but this time, the two, with happy smiles on their faces, were holding hands with an adorable little child.

As for the director who appeared below: Li Luo.

No one is paying attention anymore.

The perfect match created on the screen, and the happy family of three looking so good.

The fans were practically going crazy watching it.

No one expected that the opening theme song alone could provide such sweet moments, leading to excited screams echoing across the land.

From young girls as young as fifteen or sixteen to housewives in their thirties or forties.

Their eyes sparkled as they looked at them.

Even the original author, Gu Man, was no exception, jumping up and down on the bed with excitement. Although she often watched the performances on set during filming, she still couldn't quite figure it out at that time.

Just playing an opening theme song is enough to excite her.

The two people in front of me.

They are the perfect couple, He Yichen and Zhao Mosheng.

However, when she saw the words "Adapted from Gu Man's novel 'Silent Separation'" appear, she suddenly stopped and just sat blankly on the bed.

Tears of happiness.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

The clean streets were bustling with traffic.

With a quick pan, Huang Shengyi, dressed in jeans and a white shirt, appeared at the airport, struggling to check in her suitcase.

They embarked on their journey back to China.

I sat down on the bench and casually placed my backpack next to me, naturally displaying the brand logo sewn on and cut off.

The brand representative immediately perked up and snapped the stopwatch in their hand.

When the next scene changes.

Eight seconds have passed.

The brand representative immediately nodded in satisfaction.

"Shh."

Suddenly appearing, Li Jinming flipped his backpack over, and the camera zoomed in on it the moment it hit the ground, splitting the entire scene in two. On the left, the camera continued to showcase the specific design of the backpack.

On the right, the logo of the saddle pedal on the casual shoe is very eye-catching.

He apologized repeatedly.

Huang Shengyi hurriedly picked up his backpack.

I took out my camera bag, then nervously pulled it out to check for any damage, and there it was again, naturally, the camera brand's logo.

Close-up shots are inevitable.

Advertising is definitely something we need to do.

"fine."

Under Chen Meijia's attentive gaze, Huang Shengyi breathed a sigh of relief, hugged the camera tightly to his chest, and then smiled and nodded to Li Jinming, saying, "This camera bag of mine is drop-proof."

The audience may not be able to tell.

However, some things are impossible to hide in the eyes of industry insiders. Huang Xiaoming was almost dumbfounded. He never expected that his junior would dare to run three advertisements in just over ten seconds.

But all of this...

Yet it came so naturally.

Advertising is commonplace in modern urban films and television dramas; only a fool wouldn't make money from that.

But how to run an advertisement is another matter entirely.

Some directors deliver advertisements in a very awkward way, completely disregarding the corresponding plot and scene.

It made viewers want to curse.

However, some advertisements are incredibly smooth, like in the movie "King of Destruction," where a few people suddenly jump out of the ring and sing and dance, "Wai Yuen Tong, Yang Yin Wan, as warm as the sun," making the audience burst into laughter.

The dialogue in the show even blatantly tells the audience that it's an advertisement, yet no one seems to think it's a genuine product placement.

But even if it's silky smooth...

Advertising can sometimes have a negative effect.

For example, the Armani in this movie is definitely effective, but whether the advertisers would be willing to see such a low-end presentation is another matter.

Huang Bo's comment, "Brand name, Baleno," sent chills down the spines of the brand's representatives.

Now inside the television.

Although three advertising endorsements appeared in succession.

However, this cleverly highlights Huang Shengyi's profession as a photographer, preventing the audience from becoming impatient and allowing them to continue watching with great interest.

The plane roared.

The overpasses in Shanghai are constantly bustling with traffic.

In a few scene transitions, the female lead has already returned to China.

Slender flight attendants dragged their suitcases in a line as they moved forward. The upward-facing camera shot showed off their shapely legs in tight skirts and stockings, instantly igniting the eyes of the men who were forced to watch the TV series with them.

But the women only noticed the figure following closely behind.

The suit was already well-tailored.

Now, it is firmly supported by his upright figure.

It perfectly showcases the length of her legs.

Although only her back was visible, she instantly became the focus of the image.

Amidst a few crisp piano notes, the other person, carrying a briefcase, strode past Huang Shengyi with steady steps.

Due to the camera lens, the facial features appear somewhat blurry.

Even if it's all just empty talk.

The audience recognized him easily.

at the same time.

Huang Shengyi tossed his short hair and turned around.

With this action, countless viewers instantly held their breath.

The two were standing interspersed at this moment, and all Li Luo needed to do was turn around.

That was the encounter.

But then the airport announcement came on.

Huang Shengyi, carrying his suitcase, hurriedly ran past him. Li Luo did turn around as the audience had hoped, but he was a few seconds too late, and the two passed each other by.

The look of melancholy on Li Luo's face, along with a self-deprecating laugh, was evident.

It melted the hearts of countless viewers.

He was so angry that he stomped his feet repeatedly.

He wanted to yell at the director, but then awkwardly shut his mouth.

But the next moment they turned their attention to Luo Ge's makeup, and countless stars lit up the land of China.

His appearance at this moment.

He looks just like the uncle in "Raging Fire".

But it is even more exquisite than that time, making countless eyes sparkle.

His impeccably tailored suit and professional demeanor, along with his energetic appearance, created a refreshing and striking impression on the audience. His clean-cut sideburns and meticulously combed-back hairstyle further enhanced the overall impact on viewers.

The urban idol dramas that people usually encounter are basically the classic Taiwanese dramas about a sparrow turning into a phoenix.

The female lead always appears as an ugly duckling.

The male lead is incredibly arrogant and domineering.

Whenever he appears, he is always accompanied by luxury cars and surrounded by a large entourage. Wherever he goes, female fans will exclaim in surprise, "Whose son of a conglomerate is he?" and the extras will always whisper among themselves.

Various fangirling and discussions forcefully instill the concept of handsome men in the audience.

Even the main characters' hairstyles are increasingly outrageous.

They were afraid of not being able to express their individuality.

True handsomeness doesn't need supporting actors or extras to constantly emphasize it; it's simply standing there steadily, and you're undeniably a handsome guy!

Her lips were slightly pursed.

Li Luo continued forward, carrying his briefcase.

The two missed each other.

This kind of plot can be quite melodramatic, but if used well, it can always produce amazing results.

Sighs echoed continuously in front of the television.

Although most people haven't figured out what's going on yet, and haven't even figured out the names of the male and female leads, they can still feel a slight sense of regret.

Many people are unaware of this themselves.

From that moment on, I already looked forward to our reunion.

While others focused on the plot, Zheng Xiaolong and Liu Jiacheng, as directors, paid attention to other things, such as shooting techniques, composition choices, use of light and shadow, and scene transitions.

Although this is only director Li Luo's second film.

But the success of "Rage" was so outstanding that it was dazzling.

Let alone Liu Jiacheng.

Even Zheng Xiaolong wouldn't dare to guarantee that he would be better than Li Luo, since Li Luo had already achieved over 100 million yuan in box office revenue. This wasn't just talk; it was the result of hard-fought battles during the summer movie season.

Taking a sip of beer, Liu Jiacheng stared intently at the screen.

Wow~
They actually invited so many foreigners.

They spared no expense in creating that international atmosphere at the airport; the extras for the foreign actors weren't cheap.

Where was the airport scene filmed? I have absolutely no recollection of it. Could the "My Sunshine" production team have rebuilt the set?
Holy crap, that camera transition was amazing.

As expected of Brother Luo!
The details of the clothing and makeup are really well done. Hey, this style of clothing is very fresh. Is this kind of dressing popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea now? It looks quite comfortable.

So fashionable.

The lighting was used brilliantly.

Wait a moment.

The color grading in this picture is so pleasing!
Holy crap, is Brother Luo trying to make a TV series like a movie?

While Liu Jiacheng was muttering to himself.

Zheng Xiaolong also gulped down beer, his mind racing with amazement as the scenes unfolding before him were incredibly exquisite, with the sets, costumes, and props all exuding quality.

The image is very clean and the lighting is very comfortable.

It looks very transparent.

There wasn't a single fancy detail.

It sounds simple, but it really tests one's skill and the director's aesthetic sense.

An accident.

It is very easy for it to go astray.

For example, when Zheng Xiaolong watched "The Return of the Condor Heroes" before, he felt that the drama was very well made, but the use of color was a bit too "bold" and there were some problems with the lighting.

However, with the release of "The Deer and the Cauldron," it can no longer be described using euphemistic terms like "bold."

The blue and yellow death lighting was everywhere.

To be honest, the lighting and color grading he used to find so unpleasant was making him uncomfortable. The scene before him now, however, was as refreshing as drinking from a mountain spring, leaving every pore on his body feeling a sense of comfort.

The plot on TV continued to unfold.

Zhao Mosheng is looking for a job.

He Yichen led his legal team in business negotiations.

To prepare for his role as a lawyer, Li Luo spent some time observing the work of his company's legal department and, with their recommendation, visited a major law firm to learn from their experience.

Therefore, the image presented to the audience is one that is somewhat imposing, capable, and concise.

His gaze was sometimes gentle, sometimes sharp.

So-called acting skills.

To put it bluntly, the credibility of the character played by an actor in the eyes of the audience depends on whether it is close to reality and conforms as much as possible to the public's inherent impression of the profession.

The more they believe that the characters they portray are real and vivid, the more they can convince them.

The more successful the performance, the better.

Li Luo sat at the negotiating table, speaking eloquently, exuding a strong sense of confidence. The audience watched with great interest, feeling that this was exactly what a lawyer should be like.

There was no shouting or yelling.

The bespoke suit he wore and the watch that was perfectly displayed from the sleeves all showcased his elite image.

The words that came out of his mouth at a slightly fast pace.

I don't understand.

But it feels incredibly impressive!

Such meticulous performances quickly immersed countless viewers in the plot, allowing them to engage in heated debates with He Yichen at the negotiating table, follow Zhao Mosheng as she joined a new job and moved into her new home, and go grocery shopping with her.

Then, she watched with even greater excitement as He Yichen arrived at the same place.

With the two
wrong.

As the three of them drew closer, the once bustling Xinghuo Film and Television studio became incredibly quiet. Zhao Xuejing nervously ate the chicken leg in her hand, her eyes fixed on the television screen.

Huang Shengyi clenched his teeth tightly.

Bian Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with envy.

Zheng Xiaolong and Liu Jiacheng stopped their discussion, extremely curious about how to portray this reunion scene.

As for Liucheng.

He had long been immersed in the storyline, just like the other employees.

He didn't even bother to drink his beer, and like everyone else, he stared wide-eyed, anticipating what was about to happen.

Look up inadvertently.

Zhao Mosheng looked at the two people who had suddenly appeared in front of her in astonishment.

At that moment, she seemed to freeze in place. The background music, specially commissioned by Xinghuo Films at great expense, resounded in everyone's ears, accompanied by Huang Shengyi's voice-over.

"How come I ran into them as soon as I got back to China?"

"them."

They're really together!

Even though most viewers hadn't read the original novel, the regretful and disappointed voice-over immediately made them realize that there must be an emotional entanglement between the three of them.

"Shu~"

Before the audience could fully grasp the situation...

The crisp sound of the impact instantly made their hair stand on end, and their eyes widened as they watched Huang Shengyi frantically chase after the shopping cart that had been accidentally knocked away by someone else.

"Wow."

Sprite cans, piled up like a small mountain, were scattered all over the ground.

That piercing sound.

The sight of Huang Shengyi looking flustered and turning around in a panic excited millions of viewers, who quickly sat up on their sofas, while book fans nervously bit their pillows.

Suppress the urge to scream.

Even if you suppress it the most.

Seeing the moment Zhao Mosheng and He Yimei's eyes met, then seeing He Yichen quickly walk out from the side with a trolley, and finally seeing Zhao Mosheng's eyes quickly well up with tears.

"Ahhh!"

"He Yichen is so handsome!!!"

At that moment, the book fans jumped up instantly, venting their emotions with screams without restraint.

Although I have great confidence in Li Luo.

To be honest, nobody knows how well he'll do.

Everything that's unfolding before me is exactly as I imagined—no, it's even more accurate and beautiful than I ever imagined! Who could possibly contain their excitement?!

"Crazy girl!"

The parents complained, but the television became even more captivating.

Accompanied by a sad background music.

The image slowly pans across the faces of the three people again and again. Sometimes it looks like they are standing in a triangle, sometimes it looks like two people are looking at one person at the same time, and sometimes it looks like the three of them are looking at each other.

Watching the anger, indifference, wariness, and sadness, watching the gazes that contained all sorts of meanings.

Listening to this music again.

The book fans who were just excited suddenly fell silent, covered their mouths with their hands, and watched everything that was happening in front of them with teary eyes.

"No"

Liu Shishi's expression was tense, her eyelashes trembling slightly: "Aren't you going to say hello?"

From the moment of their unexpected encounter, He Yichen stared intently at Zhao Mosheng, who had suddenly appeared before him, until the person standing beside him spoke, at which point he reluctantly averted his gaze.
"Let's go!"

“Don’t go!!!”

"It's a misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding!!!"

Countless exclamations rang out at the same moment, as book fans were completely immersed in the plot.

It can be viewed on television.

Li Luo continued pushing the cart with a blank expression, walking past Huang Shengyi like a stranger. At this moment, the two no longer exchanged glances, as if they were in two completely different worlds.

Such a fast pace.

This surprised industry insiders immensely.

If they were to handle the production, the unexpected reunion of the male and female leads would take two or three episodes to build up before it explodes.

I didn't think of that now.

Li Luo surprised everyone right from the start.

This series of incredibly fast-paced plot twists kept Na-young so engrossed in her game that she forgot to throw away her red diamond. However, none of her fellow card players urged her to stop; they all turned to look at the television hanging on the wall.

This continued until the video finished playing and He Yichen returned to his residence.

It took everyone a while to come to their senses.

But the residence was decorated with great style, with a neatly set dining table, a clock that seemed to be dancing lightly like a work of art, and an oil painting leaning against the wall.

These scenes.

Let them focus most of their attention on it.

Even though everyone here is an actor or singer, and they're all people who have plenty of money.

Such decoration is acceptable.

Or at least make them feel amazed just by looking at it.

The next moment.

Everyone's eyes lit up again.

Li Luo, deep in thought, took off his coat, his brows furrowed as he loosened his tie, and slowly strolled through the house, walking step by step toward his office by the floor-to-ceiling window.

Everyone recognizes the view outside the glass curtain wall: the dazzling lights of Shanghai's bustling metropolis.

Under this reflection.

He appeared exceptionally tall.

When he was wearing the coat, Nayoung only noticed his slender figure, but when Li Luo took off the coat, she first stared wide-eyed at his shapely buttocks, and then at the shirt bulging from his pectoral muscles.

With an excellent physique, handsome looks, and such a professional demeanor, he exudes a strong professional aura.

Finally, there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

What the hell!
Na-young gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at the princess. "Why does this old woman get to eat so well?!"

Show off your pearly white teeth.

The princess raised her chin high with immense pride.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

The person opposite couldn't help but sigh repeatedly, shaking his head and saying, "This drama is no simple matter. All the things that happened in the beginning have piqued the audience's interest. At least I'm very curious about what exactly happened between them."

"The costumes and props are all very well made."

"Gudu."

Swallowing hard, she said, trembling, "And then there's Li Luo, dressed in trousers and a shirt, tugging at his tie—which young married woman or young lady in the family could resist such male allure!"

"This show."

"Just wait and see, it's guaranteed to be a massive hit!"

As soon as these words came out.

The sounds of people responding to each other echoed from inside the mahjong room.

It wasn't because I knew that Li Luo was friends with Na Ying and the Princess, but because of the tightly woven plot, the excellent costumes and props, the collaboration of two film and television stars, and the platform of Hunan TV's Golden Eagle Theater.

It would be hard not to become popular.

With a sigh, Na-young shook her head and casually tossed the red ball away.

"Bullshit!"

The princess slammed down the wall of cards, her triumphant laughter echoing in every corner of the room.

Just like it says here.

But when Li Luo displayed such a charming masculine appearance, whether they were young women or young ladies, they were all overjoyed and gripped the remote control tightly in their hands.

Anyone who dares to change the channel at this time...

I'll get angry with anyone who tries!
"Gudu."

Seeing his junior sitting on the banks of the Huangpu River in such a state, Huang Xiaoming took a big gulp of red wine.

It's not because I feel pressured.

although
Although he was the senior, he was well aware that he was now behind Li Luo, who was even considered a leading figure among the younger generation of male actors in China.

Even the media stopped using terms like "top heartthrob" to describe Li Luo.

But he never thought he was inferior to anyone, and he was equally confident that one day he would be able to stand in front of Li Luo with dignity.

The better the opponent performs, the more motivated Huang Xiaoming will feel!
The reason I drank a large gulp of red wine.

Because.
Looking at Li Luo on the TV, Huang Xiaoming picked up his glass of red wine again.

Ok.

Is this wine expired?
It's a little sour.

Depend on!
He looks so handsome! Should I make a movie like that? I'd definitely be even more handsome if I were in that role. How does that guy get such a physique? I need to catch up with him.

Amidst a jumble of thoughts, Huang Xiaoming gritted his teeth and downed the glass of red wine in one gulp.

It disappeared along with this.

And the content being played on the television.

From south to north, from west to east, countless viewers were caught off guard by the ending theme song. They didn't expect to have watched the entire episode so quickly, and they were all as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

I looked at the advertisement with a sense of sullenness.

Meanwhile, countless others excitedly rushed to their computers.

The sound of keyboards pounding like a storm erupted, as people excitedly cheered to the online world: "My Sunshine, I swear this is the best TV series of the year."

"No one else comes close, and we will never settle for less!!!"
