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

Chapter 531 Extras

applause.

A wave of applause swept in.

As the symphony resounded throughout the venue, the stage lights shone brightly, making everything look even more breathtaking.

The beautiful girls, standing on either side, held up the Golden Eagle trophy.

With a smile on their face, they walked straight ahead.

The photographer, who had been standing outside, held the camera mounted on his waist and walked steadily inside.

The former is out.

The latter went inside.

Because the camera was positioned in the center, it gave television viewers watching the Golden Eagle Awards live the feeling that a pair of graceful Golden Eagle Goddesses were walking towards them.

The resulting visual effect speaks for itself.

It's at the very back of the camera lens.

A dashing figure stood there.

With the added advantage of their physical attributes, they become the focus of attention simply by standing there. No matter how beautiful the Golden Eagle Goddesses are, they cannot steal the dazzling starlight emanating from each other.

I saw the photographer set off.

Li Luo flashed a handsome smile and followed the girls on either side of him.

Those long legs.

He looked so sharp and well-dressed.

This instantly triggered screams from the fans sitting at the back of the venue, and the already enthusiastic applause swept through the entire venue like a storm.

in front of the TV.

The screams echoed throughout the room.

When watching the special report on the Golden Eagle Awards in the afternoon, the unexpected appearance of Li Luo and the "Soldiers Sortie" crew on screen was a pleasant surprise, so everyone sat in front of the TV on time.

Waiting for He Yichen to appear.

But no one expected that his very first scene would be right in front of them.

And dressed like that.

It was lawyer He Yichen who appeared on stage.

Unexpectedly, Li Luo's mere appearance caused a deafening roar of screams at the scene. Listening to the commotion caused by the fans behind him, his colleagues sitting in front clapped their hands with varying expressions.

Some were happy and excited for him, while others were jealous.

Most people were just there to watch the spectacle.

Indignant.

Also a lot.

Lu Yi clapped his hands slowly and calmly, appearing unmoved on the surface, but his back teeth were almost ground to powder. This moment that everyone was watching was originally his, and it was something that had been decided long ago.

However, with the sudden surge in popularity of "My Sunshine".

Here at home.

I also received a call from the organizer.

He rattled off a whole bunch of things, but in the end it all boiled down to three words: I'm sorry.

Who the hell wants you to feel sorry?

No need to apologize, all I want is to get on stage!
Despite the polite tone of the caller, no doubt was allowed. Faced with the behemoth that is the Golden Eagle TV Art Festival, Lu Yi could only smile and say it was alright, hoping to have the opportunity to contribute in the future.

After hanging up the phone, the shattered vase testified to his true feelings.

Take a deep breath.

Lu Yi forced a smile.

Despite clapping his hands very quickly, not a single sound was produced.

A photographer walks towards them.

Li Luo smiled and waved to the camera, then steadily walked down two or three steps. The lights above her head went out one by one, and the Golden Eagle Goddesses, holding their trophies, walked around to both sides and left.

"Good evening, everybody."

Upon reaching the center, Li Luo stopped and said, "Welcome to the 7th China Golden Eagle TV Art Festival Awards Ceremony."

Look around.

There were quite a few familiar faces sitting in the audience.

Zhang Guoli, Deng Jie, Jiang Wenli, and others were clapping with smiles on their faces when Comrade Li Yunlong looked up with amusement. Zhang Zhongzhi's wild silver hair was particularly eye-catching, and Gao Xixi was sitting next to him.

Next to her was the smiling senior, Jiang Qinqin.

Ok.

And her husband.

Sitting in the row in front of her was none other than her classmate Wang Luodan, who had become a sensation with the drama "Struggle" and firmly established herself in the "girlfriend" category, and had now successfully entered the mainstream.

He got to experience the taste of overnight fame.

Next came Wang Baoqiang, Zhu Yawen, Li Chen, Zhang Guoqiang, and others, all of whom clapped excitedly.

A gaze that is moving.

A beautiful figure came into view and froze in the frame.

Earrings sway.

The white halter-neck evening gown looked refreshingly elegant on her. As her hands patted gently, the flesh of her breasts trembled slightly in the V-neck, and her bright eyes were fixed on her.

His expression showed some surprise, but more than that, it held a sense of melancholy that was impossible for outsiders to discern.

A slight smile.

Li Luo quickly regained his composure.

It only takes a second or two to look at it back and forth like that.

"I am producer Li Luo."

When the applause subsided, he brought the microphone to his mouth.

"I am director Li Luo."

Take a step forward.

"I am screenwriter Li Luo."

Then I took another step forward.

"I am actress Li Luo."

Amidst the chuckles of the crowd, he took another step forward.

"I am Li Luo, an extra."

The laughter stopped when the extra said that, and thousands of eyes were fixed on him, watching the guy who had walked to the edge of the stage, wondering what he was going to say next.

"Early 2000s."

Li Luo walked to the right and said into the microphone, "Hengdian is cold, but the sun is shining brightly."

“There was an unknown extra holding a wooden sword.”

"Just playing around during breaks in filming."

Everyone knew who the extra was, and their interest grew even stronger. This guy had risen to the position of a top male actor in China in just a few years, and everyone was curious about his background.

Zhang Zhongzhi adjusted his sitting posture and scratched his beard repeatedly.

"This little extra."

Li Luo stopped and looked down at the audience with a smile: "I don't know what kind of luck this ordinary-looking extra had to run into a big bearded man on a sunny winter day."

"Ah."

"A very handsome bearded man."

Thousands of eyes followed his gaze to Zhang Zhongzhi, and even the director switched the live broadcast to show the bearded man on the huge LED screen on the stage.

"Gudu."

Zhang Zhongzhi swallowed silently, smiled, and waved to the camera.

He didn't seem to have much of an expression.

But inside, he was ecstatic!
The intense gazes from all directions made him so excited that his nose turned slightly red. He felt that casting Li Luo to play Lin Pingzhi was the best thing he had ever done in all these years.

Therefore.

During this period, no matter who came to him asking for help to get people into Li Luo's film crew, Zhang Zhongzhi refused without even thinking about it.

The better the other person does, the more smug you feel.

As long as the human connection remains.

Li Luo occasionally mentioned it.

The little feeling in my heart was like drinking sweet dew, and I was unwilling to waste it.

Viewers in front of their televisions.

My mind wandered as I listened to the voice.

Imagine Li Luo, an extra, wielding a long sword freely in the sunlight. His dashing figure attracts the attention of a big producer, who decides to recruit him into the crew.

The dusty diamond has now revealed its dazzling brilliance.

"With the help of the bearded man."

He nodded gratefully to Zhang Zhongyi and looked around the room: "The extras have been able to open the door to the world of film and television with a bang."

"Enduring wind and frost, weathering cold and heat."

Li Luo stood upright, and his powerful delivery of lines made his voice infectious: "I've fallen off a horse, jumped off a building, shed sweat, and of course, seen blood and tears, and experienced countless days and nights on set."

"Click! Start over! Do it again! Not good enough? One more take!!!"

"You can not."

"How could it turn out like this?"

The urgent sounds instantly drew everyone on set into the filming atmosphere. Everyone had experienced such a scene before. Even actors with connections would have to work their butts off on set during such moments.

Even viewers unfamiliar with filming can picture a figure constantly striving and fighting.

"No matter what difficulties we encounter."

Li Luo's loud voice echoed in the large hall with thousands of people: "He never stopped walking, step by step."

"And now."

The microphone was gripped tightly, and the voice became even louder: "The extras have successfully made it to the Golden Eagle TV Art Festival, to this stage that countless film and television professionals dream of."

"But no matter how one's identity changes."

"How did the location change!"

"There is one thing that will never change, and that is the heartfelt love for acting. This love has kept the extras going until now, and the extras will definitely keep going."

"Hoping for extras."

"I also wish all the seniors here who are passionate about performing the best of luck."

Holding the microphone in both hands, Li Luo flashed her pearly white teeth under the lights: "I hope everyone can continue to contribute to the art of light and shadow, shining forever like a golden eagle!!!"

Good luck.

But more importantly, it's about hard work and struggle.

In other words, it's about having absolutely the right values, and finally, it's all closely tied to the Golden Eagle theme.

As the words fell.

Li Luo's hands hung naturally at his sides.

He bowed deeply to the sea of ​​people below the stage.

He nodded with a smile.

Chiang Kai-shek clapped his hands vigorously.

A wave of applause surged upwards at the same time, and even though the figure had disappeared to the side of the stage, the uproar continued for a long time.

The opening speech has ended.

Dressed like a champagne bottle cap, Li Bingbing made a dazzling entrance, leading dozens of backup dancers in a singing and dancing performance.

Amidst the music.

Li Luo had already arrived below the audience seats.

Once the staff pointed out the way, he bent over and walked into the rows of seats, quickly making his way to his seat, encountering all sorts of greetings along the way.

"Senior!"

Zhu Yawen pulled her feet back to make room and greeted them excitedly.

"How about it?"

Li Luo pressed down on his shoulder.

"I guarantee there won't be any problems."

Zhu Yawen nodded emphatically, indicating that she had thoroughly studied the script.

"Row."

Patting him on the shoulder, Li Luo said with a smile, "We'll have a good drink together after filming starts. You have to shoulder this responsibility well and not let your senior down."

Although their voices were soft, everyone's attention was focused on Li Luo.

And everyone was sitting right next to each other.

It's hard not to hear it.

As a result, a series of intense gazes turned to Zhu Yawen.

"Promise not."

The latter pounded his chest vigorously.

Not wanting to stop for a long chat at such a conspicuous time, Li Luo smiled and nodded at the actors from the "Crossing the Guandong" crew sitting next to Zhu Ya, who was getting a tattoo, and continued walking forward. He figured a smile was enough for strangers.

There's no need to shake hands with each of them.

After walking a few steps, there were several more low shouts from Luo Ge.

Before me is the crew of "Soldiers Sortie". In addition to the three guys I met today, Chen Sicheng is also there.

Seeing the glint in the other person's eyes, he hurriedly stretched out his hands.

And a slightly 'bright' smile.

Li Luo couldn't help but sigh, "The casting for 'Soldiers Sortie' is truly impeccable. The characters and the actors' personalities are almost identical, which can be described as three parts acting and seven parts being their true selves."

Chen Sicheng is also a very shrewd guy.

He bears some resemblance to Cheng Cai.

However, if someone truly considers him a friend, Chen Sicheng is quite loyal.

Among the bank transfer screenshots that were unexpectedly revealed during Baoqiang's marital breakdown, there was a record of a three million yuan payment from the other party. Such a timely act of kindness is not something everyone can do.

Being cunning isn't just a personality trait.

Chen Sicheng is also quite adept at handling film and television projects.

The Detective Chinatown series.

This allowed the other party to make a fortune.

"Chengcai." Li Luo pretended not to know the name, shook the other's hand and said, "You acted very well. Let's have tea together sometime."

"Hey."

Chen Sicheng grinned broadly.

Don't take it seriously.

Wang Baoqiang chuckled and came closer, putting his arm around Chen Sicheng's shoulder, saying, "Brother Luo is from Guangdong and Guangxi. When they say 'let's have tea sometime,' it's just a casual remark. They'll probably just ask you out for drinks sometime."

"Brother Luo, this is Chen Sicheng, my good friend."

"You are the only one who talks a lot."

Li Luo pretended to flick him on the head.

He then quickly nodded to Li Chen and Zhang Guoqiang amidst a light laugh.

They did not move forward.

Standing between the first and second rows, Li Luo turned around, put his hand on the shoulder of the guy sitting in front of him, and then greeted the person next to him: "Hello, Teacher Li Youbin, it's nice to meet you."

"Hello, Director Li."

Having noticed the commotion behind him, Li Yunlong turned around, smiled, and shook his hand: "You gave a very good speech just now. Let's work together sometime."

"Thank you, Teacher Youbin."

Li Luo tightened his grip on the other person's hand.

This is a well-known handsome young man in the surrounding area. Three years ago, the TV series "Bright Sword" made him the highest-paid male actor in mainland China at the time. The Battle of Ping'an Gole has been going on for more than ten years without stopping.

It's a phenomenal drama with an absurdly high rerun rate.

The online rights to this phenomenal drama are now firmly in our hands.

Li Luo smiled.

Looking at the other side:
"Hello, senior sister."

"handsome."

Jiang Wenli gave a thumbs-up to express her appreciation.

"Hey~"

Zhang Guoli slapped away the hand on his shoulder and turned around with dissatisfaction: "So you didn't even greet Teacher Guoli, right?"

The commotion made the younger generation sitting in the second row chuckle.

But no one dared to laugh at this moment.

But the person sitting next to Jiang Wenli was completely focused on the stage, staring intently at Li Bingbing who was singing, as if no sound around her was within her notice.

"Rongrong".

The soft gasp sent a shiver down her spine.

All the memories from five years ago flooded my mind at this moment.

Available soon.

She forcibly suppressed it again.

"Luo Ge."

Tong Lei turned around with a smile and grasped his still warm hand: "Long time no see. You spoke so well just now. You seem to have not changed at all compared to five years ago."

Looking at the face so close to his, it was exactly the same as he remembered.

It made her breathing slightly rapid.

"I haven't changed."

The beautiful and radiant Li Rongrong made Li Luo tighten his grip on her hand: "You haven't changed at all, you're still the same as before."

"Do not."

Tong Lei slowly shook his head and said seriously, "I've changed a lot."

Five years have passed.

Qin Shubao has become a household name, a big star and director, and a film and television producer that many actors in China flock to. Li Rongrong is no longer a new actress.

With a series of works including "Bright Sword", "Sunshine Like Flowers", "Wolf Poison Flower" and "Song of Youth".

I dare not say about other genres, but she has already secured her livelihood in the field of military-themed films.

Even if you take it out, it's still a corner.

But that's not what Tong Lei was talking about.

Some things have indeed changed for her, and it's impossible to go back to the way things were before.

I'll still feel happy to see you.

It has changed.

Things have changed!

No matter what kind of relationship we had before, if we don't see each other for a long time and don't keep in touch, we will drift further and further apart on the road of life. This is true even for family members, let alone a casual encounter that lasts only a short time.

"Ah."

Li Luo understood what the other person meant, smiled and let go of his hand: "Congratulations on your nomination, I hope you will have a fruitful night."

"Thank you, Brother Luo."

Tong Lei hesitated for two seconds, then opened his arms as before.

Her smiling eyes were like crescent moons.

Her radiant face was filled with relief.

"good luck."

With a smile, Li Luo gave her a hug before turning and leaving.

A few feelings.

He quickly forgot about it.

Nothing in this world lasts forever; the most important thing in life is to be happy.

After shaking hands with senior Jiang Qinqin and nodding to Chen Jianbing, Li Luo casually hugged the extremely excited Wang Luo, and finally sat down between Gao Xixi and Zhang Dahuzi.

After being slapped twice on the shoulder by the bearded man.

They watched the performance with peace of mind.

The song and dance performance by Li Bingbing quickly came to an end. Amidst applause, He Jiong and Cao Ying strolled to the host's position on the stage and began their opening remarks for the evening with great enthusiasm.

The ceremony was of a high standard.

The opening remarks were unusually long.

It took He Jiong more than twenty seconds to pronounce the name of the live broadcast unit.

"All right."

After he finished speaking, the well-known female host Cao Ying smiled at He Jiong and said, "After saying so much, we can finally begin our formal awards ceremony tonight."

"Yes, that's right."

He Jiong held up the microphone and looked intently at the audience: "However, please allow me to say a few words first. What Li Luo said just now moved me deeply. In fact, regardless of whether I win an award tonight..."

"It doesn't matter whether they came to the scene or not."

"His words."

"I want to borrow this and give it to all Chinese film and television professionals who continue to work hard."

Best wishes to you.

Cao Ying and Cao Ying exchanged a glance, then spoke in unison into the microphone: "Shining forever like a golden eagle!!!"

This sentence.

That really made the Golden Eagle Awards organizers very happy.

At the request of the on-site supervisor, the two hosts had to do it again.

The effect is still obvious.

The audience erupted in another round of enthusiastic applause.

This time, Li Luo was projected onto the huge LED screen on the stage, and he quickly clasped his hands together to express his gratitude.

There wasn't even a nomination.

Yet, during the opening period, she became the most dazzling presence in the entire venue.

This made all the actors present envious.

The opening ceremony has ended.

Various awards and song and dance performances were presented and staged in turn.

Mainstream awards in mainland China tend to have a sense of hierarchy and division of rewards, and the Golden Eagle TV Art Festival is no exception. There are eight winners for the Audience's Favorite TV Drama Actor and Actress awards alone.

This thing can't have eight people go up to receive the award at once; it looks messy and unsightly.

It can only be interspersed throughout the program.

In addition to other awards.

It can only be described as one act ending and another beginning.

He then went on to win the Best Director award.

Amidst enthusiastic applause, Zhang Zhongzhi walked steadily to the microphone with the card in hand, then squeezed the microphone and pressed it down: "I've been called 'Bearded' for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen someone with a really handsome beard."

Even Li Luo praised me for being handsome.

"From now on, none of you are allowed to say that I'm not good-looking or that I'm not qualified to be an actor!"

As soon as these words came out.

The awards ceremony erupted in laughter.

Over the years, Zhang Dahuzi has developed the habit of taking cameo roles in movies and TV shows. Because of his appearance and acting skills, he has been ridiculed by many people. Now he is using Li Luo's words to tease him back.

"Li Luo, you can laugh all you want."

Zhang Zhongyi tapped the card in his hand and looked at the guy in the audience who was laughing heartily: "But the movie must be filmed well. I hope that next time I open this card,..."

"The name 'Li Luo' is written inside!"

"By the time."

"What you accepted was not a trophy."

Zhang Zhongzhi's expression turned extremely serious. He nodded and said, "Instead, take the baton from us old bones and do your best. Even a small extra can shine brightly."

He quickly stood up, his expression serious.

Li Luo casually unbuttoned his suit jacket and bowed to the stage to express his gratitude.

The beginning and end echo each other.

This elicited the loudest applause from the audience so far.

Ouyang Changlin, sitting in the leadership seat, couldn't stop smiling. The Golden Eagle Awards' ratings soared, and the director on set was so excited that he kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.

There are various award ceremonies every year.

Nothing surprising.

Such heartwarming stories are few and far between, enough to become tales that the public will praise for a long time.

The Best Director award has nothing to do with Li Luo.

It was still a delightful conversation.

Kang Honglei won the Best Director Award for "Soldiers Sortie". He had worked as an assistant director under Zhang Zhongzhi for eight years. His first directorial work, "The Passionate Years", was only made possible because of Zhang Zhongzhi's insistence.

otherwise.

Investors simply wouldn't give him that chance.

After Kang Honglei finished his remarks.

A group led by Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Guoqiang, Li Chen, and Chen Sicheng, carrying the banner of the Armored Tiger Steel Seventh Company, shouted slogans as they stepped onto the stage to be reviewed, becoming the most beautiful sight.

And at this time.

Li Luo also got up and went backstage.

Ouyang Changlin arranged more than one opportunity for him to appear on screen.

The stage performance has ended.

The camera was steadily pointed at the two hosts.

"Next."

Cao Ying gripped the cue card and spoke rapidly: "The first guest to be introduced is someone I believe will have a different experience watching the Olympics than we will, because he was once an Olympic champion."

"He's also the diving prince!"

Smiling and looking ahead, He Jiong continued, "The other one is a famous director. The TV series he directed achieved a rating of over 5, making it the second-highest-rated work on a provincial satellite TV channel in the past 10 years."

"That TV series is still airing now."

"He is the screenwriter, he is the actor."

"In the play."

With each introduction, the cheers from the fans behind grew louder and louder, and He Jiong's voice rose higher and higher: "He is still our audience's favorite, lawyer He Yichen!"

"Next, let's welcome the famous director and actor: Li Luo, and Tian Liang!!!"

"Please welcome the two of you!"

Music accompanied the guests' entrance.

Two stylish men in suits greeted each other as they walked out from the side.

Waving at the camera, Li Luo turned some attention to Tian Liang and whispered to him, "Don't be nervous, just chat. Just think of this as a diving venue."

Unexpectedly, the guest presenter we collaborated with was the diving prince.

The person who officially debuted last year looked very nervous backstage just now, which is understandable. After all, it's like being in a completely different industry; this seemingly glamorous circle is not so easy to navigate.

This was because the other party had unintentionally asked Ruby Lin to carry Fan Xiaopang's bag at last year's Bazaar Charity Night.

He cheerfully helped the other person calm down.

Despite this, Tian Liang still spoke somewhat haltingly afterward.

Fortunately, there was no danger.

The pre-draw warm-up chat went smoothly.

"Next."

Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, Li Luo slowly opened the card in her hand: "The actress who won the Audience's Favorite TV Actress Award is..."

His eyes lit up when he saw the two words above.

"Ah."

Li Luo smiled brightly and said into the microphone, "I am very happy to see her win the award. In the summer of 2003, when I saw her kneeling on the execution ground, acting again and again in nearly forty-degree heat."

"I knew she would become an excellent actress."

These words left many people at the scene bewildered, but some veteran fans had already remembered something and stood up excitedly one after another.

At this moment, offstage.

The pretty girl was so excited that she covered her mouth.

"Congratulations."

Li Luo gripped the microphone and carefully read out the winner's name: "Tong Lei!!!"
