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

Chapter 601 Brother Luo is Here
The movie needs to be filmed.

Attendance at relevant award ceremonies is also required.

After filming for more than 20 days on Vancouver Island, Li Luo asked the crew for a short leave to fly to Hong Kong Island to attend the latest Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony.

this year.

It marks the centenary of Hong Kong cinema.

In addition, he was nominated for Best Actor, the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards was Chan Ka-sheung, and the Hong Kong Film Awards had previously given him the Best New Performer and Best New Director awards, so it was only right and proper for him to come and support the event.

Including his nomination for Best Actor for "Raging Fire," Li Luo has now been nominated twice.

I feel happy.

But not to the point of ecstasy.

After all, for him, various awards are just icing on the cake.

While professional awards could certainly make one's resume more impressive, even without winning an award, it wouldn't shake Li Luo's current status in the industry.

For example, Hendrik Willem Van Loon.

Even if he has never touched the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actor, no one will question his talent.

box office.

This is where one finds peace and security.

In addition, comedy and action films are not popular at the Hong Kong Film Awards, and it took Stephen Chow many years of struggle before he was able to stand on the stage and lift the trophy.

Li Luo this time.

He knew his chances were slim.

Although Chan Ka-sheung and Wong Pak-ming both promised to help influence the judges with whom they had closer relationships, they couldn't do anything significant, especially Chan Ka-sheung, the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards.

If news breaks that the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards helped candidates campaign for votes.

That was a shocking scandal.

A person lives by his face.

Chen Jiashang wouldn't risk his decades-long reputation to pave the way for Li Luo, and Li Luo wouldn't have the audacity to make such a request either.

Actually, he had high hopes, as his performances in "Painted Skin" and "Ip Man" were remarkable. However, Zhang Jiahui's performance in the movie "The Witness" was simply too explosive.

A groundbreaking performance.

It has always been a favorite of the judges.

In addition, Zhang Jiahui has been immersed in the industry for twenty years, while his opponent has worked his way up from a newbie to a veteran actor, but has never won any significant awards.

Current strength, qualifications, and emotional inclinations.

It has everything.

Therefore, despite Li Luo's strong performance, Zhang Jiahui is the most popular candidate for Best Actor this year.

Chat room.

Vehicles roared into the bustling city of Hong Kong Island.

They found a familiar, long-established restaurant. Hong Tianming stared intently as Li Luo devoured a soy sauce chicken in his left hand and a roast goose leg in his right, tearing and biting into it with great relish, while gulping down several cups of iced milk tea.

"Take it easy."

Hong Jiahao's eldest son shook the car keys in his hand and said with a wry smile, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you went to North America to escape famine. Speaking of which, the steaks there are really nourishing."

"Your muscles are ridiculously exaggerated!"

My physique isn't bad.

But compared to that, Li Luo still managed to press her down to be almost as big as a bamboo pole.

"Ah."

After taking a big bite of the savory and tender chicken leg, Li Luo shook his head repeatedly and said, "The food provided by the crew is actually not bad. They have steak, lamb chops, seafood, bread, and whatever else you want to eat."

"It was quite novel at first, but after eating it every day, I really can't handle it."

"The scenery at the filming location is very nice."

"But it's also very remote."

"I can't even find a Chinese restaurant to satisfy my craving. Even if I wanted to cook for myself, I couldn't buy the necessary seasonings and cooking utensils. You really have no idea how long I've been craving this!"

Li Luo talked while tearing into a roast goose leg and then shoveling several mouthfuls of white rice into his mouth.

At the beginning, they were showing off their steaks and seafood.

Of course it feels good.

But eating it every day is really hard to handle.

It has nothing to do with whether the ingredients are high-end or not; the main problem is that it's hard to change eating habits that have lasted for more than 20 years.

He smiled and shook his head.

Hong Tianming continued playing with his phone.

Li Luo finished his food in a flash, and after taking a photo with the restaurant owner, he and Hong Tianming drove away.

This time.

We headed straight to the New World Hotel.

The hotel is a sponsor of this year's Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony.

Before 5 p.m. today, the celebrities staying at the hotel will take limousines to the red carpet at the Cultural Center to attend the annual film industry event in various glamorous outfits.

Nearby hotel.

The huge poster hanging on the outer wall could be seen from afar.

The most eye-catching item is, of course, the Hong Kong Film Awards trophy, which features a group photo of the Best Actor and Best Actress nominees.

In the poster on the left.

Five handsome men in white suits each struck a different pose.

Li Luo's portrait was at the top, and he, along with Leung Chiu-wai, Simon Yam, Louis Koo, and Cheung Ka-fai, surrounded the Hong Kong Film Awards trophy in the center. This huge poster made Hung Tin-ming's eyes light up.

can not imagine.

What would it feel like to stand on top of the poster yourself?

On the other side were the nominees for Best Actress. The actresses had different styles, some sexy, some dignified, and some elegant. Among them, Fan Bingbing was the most beautiful, exuding charm with just a slight upturn of her lips.

With "Painted Skin".

Fan Bingbing has successfully become a nominee for Best Actress.

Following "Protégé", she is now aiming for the Best Actress award for the second consecutive year.

For most actors, being nominated for such a prestigious award is an honor that can be proudly displayed on their resume, which is why Fan Xiaopang has been riding high lately.

She has graced the covers of numerous fashion weekly magazines.

As for Gao Yuanyuan...

The other party regretted not being able to stand out, and Li Luo made a phone call to comfort Yuan Meizi, which helped her get out of her depressed mood.

Although her salary for "Painted Skin" was not high, she earned a lot from advertising revenue.

this time.

Yuan Meizi has lost much of her interest in taking on acting roles.

Right now, the other person is having a great time on vacation in Hawaii, sending Li Luo all sorts of beautiful photos almost every day.

Wait until the vehicle stops.

Li Luo quickly snapped out of his thoughts.

After thanking Hung Tin-ming, he quickly got out of the car and waved goodbye to the guy who sped away.

Hold your backpack tightly.

Li Luo strode into the hotel lobby.

Compared to the usual groups of celebrities, he was incredibly low-key in his sportswear, to the point that the organizing committee volunteers thought he was just an ordinary guest staying at the hotel.

Until Li Luo walked up to the registration desk and smiled at the volunteers.

I rubbed my eyes hard.

It was only then that the staff confirmed who he was.

She hurriedly handed over the room key with both hands, explained the relevant matters, and then watched with bated breath as the handsome figure walked into the elevator, praising him for being the most low-key celebrity.

"Ding~"

The elevator door opens.

Li Luoshi walked out of there with a graceful air.

A cacophony of noises suddenly filled the air, and the hotel corridors were bustling with activity as makeup artists, stylists, reporters, assistants, and liaisons from various luxury brands moved back and forth between rooms of all sizes.

When stars shine brightly, it's often a time when luxury brands make big moves.

Clothing and accessories.

Jewelry.

As China's economy enters a period of rapid development, major luxury brands are targeting this emerging market with huge potential, and finding influential celebrities with excellent image and temperament to endorse their products has become an inevitable choice.

In the early years.

The endorsements that mainland celebrities receive are often rather unsophisticated, while luxury brands are exclusively for Hong Kong and Taiwanese stars, or even just have a foreign face printed on their logo and that's it.

The market trend has now shifted.

This is a pleasant surprise for mainland celebrities, who also want to use this opportunity to enhance their image and commercial value.

Therefore, it can be said that the two sides hit it off immediately.

What followed was fierce competition.

In the future, the number of high-end endorsements that celebrities have become one of the standards for judging their status. As this trend intensifies, it has even led to the creation of all sorts of nonsensical terms such as spokesperson, brand ambassador, brand experience officer, and brand friend.

It's completely baffling.

It's not quite that exaggerated yet, but the competition is still extremely fierce.

Whether or not they can get a high-end designer gown for the season, and whether the jewelry they wear is luxurious enough, has become a battlefield where celebrities are fiercely competing with each other.

"Hurry up, hurry up."

"Is Zhiling's suit ready?"

"Take it over quickly."

Listening to the various sounds, Li Luo slowly walked forward.

A tall and imposing figure.

It quickly attracted the attention of staff from all walks of life.

"Brother Luo?"

"Hey, Brother Luo."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Li Luo. I am the head of marketing for Gucci in Hong Kong Island. It's a pleasure to meet you. This is my business card."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Li Luo, I am Benjamin Nelson."

Their steps paused slightly.

Representatives from various brands flocked over.

These people are more or less connected to the industry, so of course they wouldn't do anything inappropriate, but the way they put on this show is still surprising, drawing the attention of the organizing committee's volunteers.

There are quite a few celebrities who have arrived at the hotel so far, including popular figures like Fan Bingbing and Lin Zhiling.

No matter who it is.

None of them received such treatment.

There's a reason for its popularity.

Now, not only mainland China, but even male stars of the same age in Hong Kong and Taiwan are being strongly suppressed by Li Luo. Although he cannot yet be compared with a group of veteran superstars, he is already outstanding enough.

In addition, she has excellent physical appearance and temperament.

And this height.

He's practically the perfect clothes hanger.

Moreover, the other party is extremely dedicated and can be called an excellent spokesperson. Every time they see Li Luo walking the red carpet or attending some important event, they wish they could tear off the seven-skin wolf costume that Li Luo is wearing.

Such a huge reputation and such a terrifying influence.

Why isn't it their own spokesperson?
Looking at the saddle logo on Li Luo's sportswear, the staff of these luxury brands looked incredibly resentful, yet their smiles were as bright as could be.

Everyone expected that when Seven Wolves' contract expired, they would be able to snatch Li Luo's clothing endorsement.

An ordinary entertainer.

Of course, everyone would go to great lengths to secure their endorsement contracts.

But those top-tier celebrities.

Naturally, they are also highly sought-after by brands.

Looking at the smiling faces, Li Luo happily accepted the business cards they offered, and gave them brief handshakes. These people were all hidden benefactors, even if they weren't his own.

It's possible that they'll end up with one of their artists.

Let's shake hands.

It won't take up much time.

Fortunately, these people weren't naive; after greeting Li Luo, they quickly and politely stepped aside.

Keep going.

Li Luo did not go straight to his room.

Arriving at a door, he waved and knocked.

Less than two seconds.

The door clicked open.

A lively sound burst forth from inside, followed immediately by a face blinking its eyes.

"Who?"

Fan Bingbing's voice came out.

Swallowing hard, the assistant quickly turned around: "Brother Luo is here!!!"

The words fell.

The room fell silent.

"Luo Ge."

Fan Bingbing's personal assistant nodded and greeted her again, then quickly opened the door.

The room is not big.

There were quite a few people inside.

There were about a dozen female staff members gathered in the room. Various suitcases were open, and clothes, accessories and other items were everywhere. Some were fixing Fan Bingbing's hair, and others were applying makeup to her face.

Some people choose suitable accessories.

There were also people rushing to eat boxed lunches, and of course, there were also those offering advice on makeup and styling.

So many people.

At this moment, all the movements in their hands stopped.

She stared at the handsome guy who walked in with shining eyes.

This naturally includes Fan Xiaopang, who is sitting in a chair wearing a black and white striped pajama. This time, Xiaopang has not applied any makeup, but he has a pure feeling like a lotus emerging from the water.

Li Luo's eyes lit up at the same sight.

"Hello, Brother Luo."

The women inside the room almost unanimously erupted in a clamor.

"Hey~"

Li Luo smiled and clasped his hands together, meeting every gaze with a dashing air: "Hello everyone, thank you for your hard work!"

Move forward.

He shook hands with everyone.

Fan Bingbing has a good image and great temperament, making her a favorite of various luxury brands. With the support of the record-breaking box office hit "Painted Skin", she has become even more sought after by major brands.

Therefore, this includes many luxury brands, such as LV and Cartier.

It's perfectly normal for brands to follow suit.

The jewelry set displayed on the dressing table is worth tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

Something is lost.

No one can afford to take the responsibility.

"boss."

Waving to signal the staff to stop, Fan Bingbing stood up with a smile and opened her arms: "I was worried you'd miss your flight. Is the filming in Hollywood going well?"

Hearing the words "Hollywood"...

The staff present cast envious glances at Li Luo.

Everyone has been following the news that "Twilight" raked in over 400 million dollars at the global box office, and it's easy to tell from the information in the text that the sequel to this blockbuster movie is currently in production.

The person in front of us is very likely to become an international movie star, something that many actors dream of.

"pretty good."

Li Luo smiled and gave her a hug.

Suppressing the slight flutter in her heart, Fan Bingbing gestured to the ironing rack in the corner and said, "Your suit is all set. As for makeup, well, you'd better wait patiently in the back!"

"Good good."

Li Luo waved his hand and said cheerfully, "You're beautiful, so you get to decide!"

Ignoring the suppressed laughter around them.

Fan Xiaopang raised his chin slightly with a smug look.

After confirming that his clothes were in place, Li Luo chatted for a few minutes and then left Fan Bingbing's room without disturbing her any further.

Compared to female celebrities.

Male celebrities' makeup and styling can be described as quite simple.

Especially since I currently have short hair, there's not much to spend time styling. A shower, a change of clothes, and a quick fix to my hair are all I need to do. I can take it easy and not rush at all.

We arrived in the corridor.

I glanced at the information on my phone.

Li Luo stopped after taking only two steps and banged on the door.

"Coming!"

A familiar voice sounded.

Immediately before Li Luo's eyes appeared a beautiful little face. The girl Guo Xiang inside jumped three feet high with excitement upon seeing him, and the soft flesh on her chest made his gaze instantly fixed on her.
