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

Chapter 554 Visiting the Set of Chinese Paladin 3

It was said to be a hurricane.

It's not an exaggeration at all.

The reason is simply because Xinghuo Films released so many characters that it was dazzling, mouthwatering, and caused all sorts of exclamations of "Holy crap!"

The first to bear the brunt.

That is Zhen Huan from "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Li Luo wasn't exaggerating; he really did reveal the female lead.

When they saw that name, countless actresses felt dizzy. During this period, everyone had read through the novel "Empresses in the Palace" and knew that it was a story told from Zhen Huan's perspective.

nowadays.

There is no concept of a female-centric drama.

But everyone knows what it means to act alongside Li Luo now, or even to be lifted up by him.

My Sunshine

This propelled Huang Shengyi to immense popularity.

As a result, Jiang Shuying and Liu Shishi also became popular to varying degrees.

Painted Skin

This also directly propelled Fan Bingbing and Gao Yuanyuan to the ranks of top-tier popular actors. Yang Mi, who was just beginning to show her talent, became a household name as a result.

Ding Haifeng experienced a career resurgence, while Jia Nailiang rose to become a leading man.

These are not historical achievements. The movie "Painted Skin" is currently showing in theaters and is making a strong push to become the highest-grossing film in history. If the box office can really break the 3.6 ​​million mark...

These are the main cast and crew members.

Its commercial value will be further enhanced at that time.

The most direct way to prove your strength to brands and producers is to showcase your achievements.

What is a grade?

Playing a major role in a film that once topped the box office is a solid achievement, no matter where you look at it, and it's even more prestigious than many awards.

As long as we succeed in winning over Zhen Huan.

If not 100%, there's an 80-90% chance she'll skyrocket to become a top-tier actress.

Even if she takes a step back, she's still a solid second-tier actor.

It doesn't sound very good.

However, for 99% of actors, this position is already the ceiling of the industry, meaning they can consistently play leading roles in some TV series and movies.

The vast majority of TV dramas actually lack A-list actors in their cast.

It's good that second-tier actors can play the male and female leads.

Add some third-tier actors.

For many production companies, this is already a pretty good lineup, enough to attract TV stations to spend money to buy the copyright. These actors already have considerable influence in the industry.

In the released list of characters.

Apart from Zhen Huan.

Another important character is Xuan Qing, who is positioned as the second male lead in the drama.

Empress Dowager Zhu Chengbi, Consort Hua Murong Shilan, Shen Meizhuang, eunuch Li Chang, imperial physician Wen Shichu, head maid Cui Jinxi, maid Liu Zhu and Huanbi, and all sorts of other concubines.

Compared to the original work.

Although many characters have been cut.

However, this list contains more than thirty or forty named characters, making various talent agencies and film school students extremely envious. It is no surprise that the leading role will be fiercely contested.

An actor without sufficient experience or qualifications wouldn't even dare to covet the role of Zhen Huan.

But other roles.

There's still a chance for everyone to give it a shot.

Actresses are all eyeing various concubines, while male actors are targeting Xuan Qing and Wen Shichu. The latter is particularly eager, as everyone knows that Xinghuo Films has very few male artists signed, and Huang Bo and Wang Xun's appearances are not suitable at all.

When Xinghuo Films threw out this extremely lucrative opportunity, it instantly caused a great stir in the mainland entertainment industry.

Although this period of time.

A series of major remakes of the four classic Chinese novels have been launched.

We can set aside the influence of the original work.

The project "Empresses in the Palace" is even more attractive than the remakes of the Four Great Classical Novels. First of all, the production cost is far superior. The production budget of 1.5 million yuan is the most direct manifestation of the production team's strength.

Secondly, the combination of Zheng Xiaolong and Li Luo is enough to excite people.

The director is talented, and the actors are popular.

Regardless of whether it's Journey to the West, Water Margin, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, or Dream of the Red Chamber, none of the currently released cast lists dare to confidently guarantee that they can compete with Li Luo.

The casting news was released as soon as it was announced.

Resumes of all kinds flooded into Xinghuo Film and Television like snowflakes, threatening to overwhelm it.

A chain reaction ensued.

The industry is undergoing another extremely subtle change.

The news that Sun Haiying was so angry that he almost fainted went unnoticed; instead, reporters were bombarded with unexpected praise.

"Haha."

When asked about her relationship with Deng Chao, Sun Li smiled happily in front of the camera and said, "Chao and I went to see Painted Skin at the cinema a couple of days ago, which was a rare date for us."

"The movie is very well made."

"It's really good, I hope everyone will go and support this movie!"

What have you been up to lately?

The big-eyed princess stopped in her tracks as reporters chased after her, and replied with a smile, "I'm preparing a movie about a man who took his father's place in the army. I won't tell you the movie's title!"

The reporters burst into laughter.

"Serving in the Army in Place of His Father"—anyone can guess which movie that is.

"in addition."

Zhao Wei composed herself and continued to smile and nod, "I went to see a movie last night, 'Painted Skin,' starring my junior. It was very well made, and I heard he's going to break the film record."

"Go for it! Go for it!"

"Don't forget to support us at the cinema! I guarantee it'll be worth the ticket price!"

"thank you all."

At the promotional event for the TV series "Locking Spring," lead actress Ma Yili smiled and looked at reporters, saying, "Actually, after filming so many modern dramas, I'd really like to try a period drama, like the one in 'Painted Skin.'"

"The photos are really beautiful. I'd like to try it myself sometime."

Sun Li fired the first shot.

Other female celebrities followed suit, including Song Jia, Li Xiaolu, Hao Lei, and Yao Chen, all of whom expressed their goodwill towards Xinghuo Film and Television directly or even more directly.

They helped boost the box office, praising the painted skin repeatedly.

Various sounds came one after another.

Even Li Bingbing, who hasn't acted in a TV series for two years, jumped out to say a few words of praise.

This lively scene.

It dazzled the reporters.

Those fans might not understand the reason behind it, and only think that Li Luo has good connections in the industry, but they all know very well that these female celebrities are all trying to curry favor with Xinghuo Film and Television.

How effective it is.

unknown.

But this kind of thing is just like giving gifts.

Who sent it?

I might not remember.

Those who didn't give a gift might be remembered clearly. Given the chance to touch the actress who played Zhen Huan, no one wants to be the one who didn't give a gift. There's nothing to be embarrassed about.

They want to be in someone else's show, but they're not even willing to show any interest.

Who would want to talk to you?

That's just the situation.

This left many industry insiders dumbfounded.

It's astonishing how Li Luo's casual audition request caused such a stir, with various female celebrities showering him with attention as if they were offering their allegiance.

At such a noisy time.

party.

But they had already quietly arrived on the southeast side.

In front of the Zen temple.

Everywhere there were broken walls and rubble.

Corpses lay strewn across the ground, amidst billowing smoke.

The sword light flashed.

A large number of Shushan disciples roared and rushed forward, their long swords pointing straight upwards. But as the Evil Sword Immortal twisted his palm in the void, the floor instantly exploded, raising countless clouds of dust.

Screams erupted, and blood gushed out.

The disciples of Mount Shu were severely injured in an instant, and cried out in pain as they rushed in all directions.

He fell down the stairs.

Door panels, wooden tables, and other objects were smashed one after another.

The commotion caused Hua Ying, Xu Maoshan, Long Kui, and Tang Xuejian to quickly retreat, their expressions grave as they looked at the Evil Sword Immortal.

Jing Tian, ​​wielding the Demon Sword, leaped into the air, soaring through the swirling smoke as he fiercely attacked the Evil Sword Immortal perched atop the stone lion. As he spun, he seemed to unleash a series of incredibly sharp sword energies.

It just kept spinning.

The Evil Sword Immortal was horrified to find Jing Tian getting closer and closer, his long sword poised to strike him.

"Hey~"

Hastily catching the stone lion, the Evil Sword Immortal leaned back:

"Shh, shh, shh! It's about to crash!"

"Click!!!"

The shout to stop the filming instantly echoed throughout the set.

Feeling dizzy and disoriented, Jing Tian hurriedly pulled his sword back, and amidst the laughter of Tang Xuejian, Long Kui, and the others, the martial arts team quickly pulled him away to avoid actually bumping into the Evil Sword Immortal.

Jing Tian will be fine.

However, if the Evil Sword Immortal were to fall off the stone lion, he might end up with a bruised and swollen face.

The scene was somewhat comical.

The memory in Li Luo's eyes faded instantly.

Have a good laugh.

He stepped down the stairs.

"Hi~"

Cai Yinong's assistant, walking behind him, held up a large, round watermelon high and shouted to the set, "Everyone, take a few minutes to rest. Brother Luo is treating everyone to watermelon!"

This call.

Make all the staff, both in front of and behind the camera, turn their heads to look over.

Although seven or eight crew members struggled to carry baskets of watermelons into the film set, the piles of watermelons were quite eye-catching.

But at this time.

All eyes were fixed on the smiling guy's face.

In the actors' rest area, Zi Xuan suddenly stood up.

Longkui's heart pounded.

Tang Xue saw the girl's laughter freeze instantly, and was so excited she almost jumped up, but she forcibly suppressed the urge to run over and give her a big hug.

"Hello, Brother Luo!"

"Thank you, Brother Luo!!!"

Once everyone had recovered, excited and happy cheers echoed throughout the set.

Whether he's a big star or not, whether the box office can break 3.6 million.

It has nothing to do with most people.

In such hot weather, especially after filming for most of the day, being able to eat a bite of crisp, sweet, and juicy watermelon is more enjoyable than being a god, and the expressions of gratitude are incredibly loud.

Li Luo smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to everyone, indicating that they were not so polite.

Take a few steps forward.

He cheerfully greeted Cai Yinong and Li Guoli, who were also walking briskly towards him, and quickly shook hands with them, saying, "President Cai, Director Li, I apologize for disturbing you, I hope it won't affect your filming."

"No, no."

Cai Yinong shook his head quickly, his smile wide: "We are so grateful that Brother Luo came to visit the set."

His hand tightened.

The beautiful female CEO sighed and let go of his hand.

He took out three million.

Then give up two more characters from Chinese Paladin 3.

She had hesitated before making this deal, but after "My Sunshine" achieved eighteen consecutive weeks at number one, she only regretted not spending more money to win back the role of the second male lead.

Although they didn't benefit as much as Li Luo, Huang Shengyi, and Sun Yizhou, Liu Shishi and Yuan Hong still saw their popularity skyrocket.

The advertising deals I've taken on during this period alone have already earned me back the three million.

This deal.

Looking back now, it couldn't have been more worthwhile. The success of "My Sunshine" was already astonishing enough, but Li Luo immediately followed up with the groundbreaking "Painted Skin," which grossed 300 million yuan, leaving Cai Yinong speechless.

Li Luoken's visit to the set to help with promotions was exactly what I wanted.

"Congratulations."

Li Guoli swallowed the "General Manager Li" that was about to be said, and followed his boss's lead in changing his form of address: "Brother Luo, your new movie is amazing, I think you should be able to surpass 3.6 million soon, right?"

Although he is more than twenty years older.

On qualifications.

He is far superior to Li Luo.

It is precisely because he has been immersed in the industry for many years that he is able to adjust his mindset so skillfully.

"I can't say for sure."

Li Luo shook his head with a smile, looking at Jing Tian, ​​who had removed the wire and was walking quickly towards him: "It depends on whether Lao Hu will give us face. We might get hit hard by him tomorrow, and it would be terrible if the box office was cut in half!"

"I wouldn't even dare to think about it!!!"

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Hu Ge, with a broad smile, rammed his fist into the air.

The movie "Butterfly Lovers" will be released tomorrow.

Under normal circumstances.

New works are always met with great anticipation, but Hu Ge's current mindset is that as long as the production company doesn't lose money, that's enough.

Sometimes, actors generally have a good idea of ​​how well a movie is being made. When filming "Sword and Butterfly" at Shengqiang Film and Television Base, Hu Ge suffered terribly.

The female lead, Asa, gave a perfunctory and chaotic performance.

The male lead.
In his opinion, he can't even act!

So deep down, Hu Ge didn't have any hope for that film at all.

Jing Tian walked over.

The rest of the cast arrived one after another.

Wang Ou's portrayal of Zi Xuan caught Li Luo's eye. In terms of appearance, she was no less attractive than the original, and even more sexy and beautiful. Her excellent waist-to-hip ratio made the purple dress particularly alluring.

As for acting skills...

Li Luo wasn't worried about this at all.

My fellow villager is naturally talented, and he's the kind of actor who can shine as long as he gets the chance.

In my previous life, I was in this profession for over ten years.

Despite various setbacks, nothing could stop Wang Ou from making a name for himself.

After several years of dedicated honing his acting skills, Wang Ou was able to handle the lead role in the drama "Paper Drunk Gold", so playing Zi Xuan is naturally a piece of cake for him now.

"boss!"

Wang Ou tried to remain calm, but a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

"Did I cause Director Li any trouble?"

Holding her slender hand, Li Luo casually uttered a sentence.

"will not!"

Before Wang Ou could speak, Li Guoli gave him a thumbs up: "Xiao Ou acted superbly. Brother Luo, I really admire your eye for talent. Not only did you choose the right role, but you also picked the perfect actor!"

Then another burst of laughter.

Li Luo greets Xia Bing, the girl inside the painted skin.

Of course.

The other party is now Tang Xuejian.

Her twin ponytails and curly hair, along with her neat outfit, were exactly how she looked in my memory.

"I'm sweating~"

Seeing Li Luo smiling and opening his arms, Yang Mi muttered something shyly, but still couldn't help giving Brother Luo a happy hug.

Wearing elaborate ancient costumes, they spent most of the day taking photos under the sun.

I don't sweat.

Those are not normal people.

On the contrary, the faint smell of sweat on the other person's body, and the fine beads of sweat on their neck, gave a very strong sense of realism, and the strands of hair in front of them seemed to be shining with golden light under the sun.

Do you have a spare?

Holding Tang Xuejian in his arms, Li Luo felt an extraordinary surge of passion within him.

"Don't tell you!"

The girl's voice trembled.

Reluctantly letting go of her arms, our young lady from Tangjiabao resisted the urge to roll her eyes at him.

洛哥
Absolutely awful!!!

She always likes to dress up in costumes from plays.

Hehe ~
Fortunately, I was prepared, and even Fairy Xi Yao's white dress was already...
Sunlight fell on the girl's pretty face.

A splash of crimson rose into the air.

Fortunately, the weather was hot, so this subtle change in expression went unnoticed by anyone. However, Cai Yinong, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but purse his lips, his smile carrying a complicated expression.

She had been watching Yang Mi's performance all this time.

Whether it's performance or personality.

Both are very dynamic.

It has unique features.

In her view, as long as they are given resources and a push, they definitely have a chance to become a hit.

According to Cai Yinong.

The other party has more than a year left on their contract with Rongxinda.

The thought of digging up Yang Mi and turning her into a sugar figurine has never stopped, but every time that thought arises, it is always crushed to pieces by an oppressive shadow, and he can't even get a hint of it out.

Seeing Li Luo embracing Liu Shishi, Cai Yinong sighed helplessly.

Just thinking about snatching people from this guy.

In my heart.

I felt inexplicably scared.
After parting ways with the overjoyed Longkui, Li Luo was greeted by Huo Jianhua, a veteran actor who frequents Hengdian, and who played Xu Changqing in Chinese Paladin 3.

Don't even say it.

With his looks, he'd be exceptionally handsome in period dramas.

The impression given to outsiders.

Huo Jianhua always has a serious and old-fashioned demeanor, with a somewhat otherworldly air about him.

Can be biased.
But upon reflection...

There's nothing wrong with liking to order takeout. At least you haven't done anything to bully others. If this is just a hobby, you could even be considered a great philanthropist in this industry!
"Hello, Brother Luo~"

Huo Jianhua hurriedly stretched out his hands.

Regardless of the other party's relationship with the Golden Horse Awards organizing committee, Li Luo's status makes him someone he can't afford to offend.

"Hello."

Li Luo greeted the guy with a smile.

There's also a familiar face in this show, Fatty Cong, who plays Mao Mao. They worked together before in "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties," where he almost caused a major disaster by running away with a bucket.

We weren't exactly close, but we did work together, after all.

Laughter naturally filled the air.

After that.

There's also Liu Jiahui, who plays the Evil Sword Immortal.

This veteran actor was already a Shaw Brothers star in the 1970s and 80s, and starred in classic films such as "The 36th Chamber of Shaolin". After the decline of Shaw Brothers, he went everywhere to find opportunities to act.

To become a renowned supporting actor.

From Stephen Chow's "Flirting Scholar" to Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill," you can find traces of each other.

The actors, producers, assistant directors, and the entire crew behind the scenes.

They shook hands with each of them.

These things.

Actually, these are all things that must be done when visiting the set. He's not a movie fan, so he can't just stare at the actors. It's even more important to communicate with the crew members behind the scenes, because you never know when you might be able to work together.

After greeting the main cast and crew, they were greeted by reporters carrying cameras.

This was arranged long ago.

Li Luo had no objections.

If you accept millions of dollars from someone and then try to get Sun Yizhou and Wang Ou to act in a movie, it would be really unfair of you to refuse such a thing!
Look at the camera, then look around at the surrounding scene.

this time.

Li Luo, who hadn't acted in a long time, suddenly felt a strange urge to act.

"cough~"

Cleared his throat.

Li Luo chuckled and then looked at Cai Yinong: "President Cai, how about we try a different way of promoting ourselves?"

"Oh?"

Cai Yinong expressed his confusion.

But after a few words, her eyes lit up.

Scratched his cheek.

Li Guoli laughed heartily and gave a thumbs up.

The idea of ​​turning the tables is simply not on his mind. With Li Luo's current influence, no one could hire him to help with publicity even if they paid him. He would get angry with anyone who dared not cooperate.

In front of the Zen temple.

Everywhere there are broken walls and broken tiles.

Amidst the billowing white smoke, a figure staggered out from inside.

"brother."

He patted his forehead.

Looking bewildered, Li Luo approached the stone lion and put his arm around the shoulder of the young man squatting there: "Where is this place? Hey, why are you dressed so strangely?"

"Ok?"

The man with his hair tied in a bun turned around and frowned at him.

"Li Li Xiaoyao?"

Li Luo looked closely and was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly.

"What Li Xiaoyao?"

With a clang, the young man drew his longsword and approached, his brows furrowed. "I am Jing Tian. What kind of monster are you, dressed so strangely?"

"what?"

Li Luo swallowed hard.

A girl in a red dress fluttered as she appeared behind him in pigtails: "This person might be an illusion of the Evil Sword Immortal, don't let him get away!"

"Xia Bing?"

Seeing the familiar face, Li Luo looked bewildered.

"Pretending."

The girl with pigtails stepped back and raised her weapon: "I am Tang Xuejian, the eldest daughter of the Tang family!"

"Sister, be careful."

The woman in blue rushed over quickly, looking at Li Luo warily: "He's not easy to deal with. You must not let your guard down. Long Kui will lend you a hand."

Why Mei?

Li Luo staggered, blurting out, "What are you doing here!"

"stop."

A woman in a purple dress swirled in, and another woman pointed at him with a hand gesture: "Don't even think about getting past Zixuan."

"Fang Yanyun?"

Li Luo was completely dumbfounded.

"Xu Changqing is here again!"

A man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes appeared, holding a long sword at an angle.

“And there’s me, Mao Mao.”

Heavy footsteps followed closely behind.

this time.

The people who appeared one after another had completely surrounded him.

The atmosphere was tense, like swords drawn.

"Certainly!"

Li Luo snapped his fingers like lightning.

As the sound rang out, all the people who appeared froze in place, like wooden figures.

Turn around.

He walked out from between Jing Tian and Tang Xuejian.

Li Luo suddenly bent down, tapped the lens with his fingers, chuckled, and raised his eyebrows: "Want to know what show this is? Go watch Painted Skin and I'll tell you!"

in front of the TV.

These eyes widened in disbelief, leaving countless spectators utterly bewildered.
