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

Chapter 617 Zhen Huan Starts Filming

July 3rd.

A gentle breeze blows across the Fuchun River, and golden sunlight streams down upon the picturesque town of Tonglu.

If it were a normal time...

There's nothing special about this day.

However, this morning, locals quickly noticed a series of unusual changes; the already clean and tidy streets seemed to have just been washed by the sanitation department.

It seems.

It has a certain pristine quality.

Uncle Hat was on duty at major traffic arteries, strictly controlling today's traffic conditions.

Various breakfast shops.

There are many unfamiliar accents from other places.

Most of these guys who spoke with accents from other places had one thing in common: they all carried cameras of various sizes on their backs, and their eyes were always looking around with great interest.

Such a scene.

This immediately made the locals realize something.

The reason is actually quite simple; we've all experienced this twice before.

The first time was the groundbreaking ceremony for the Tonglu Xinghuo Film and Television Base, and the second time was the opening ceremony for the film "Bodyguards and Assassins".

did not expect.

The third time has come so quickly.

I felt excited.

Various hushed discussions echoed through the streets and alleys.

The minibus slowly glided through the clean streets. Sitting inside, Lin Cheng withdrew his gaze with satisfaction: "This isn't just for show; it's something that has to be done. When guests come over, the house has to be cleaned up!"

"Moreover, those attending today's event are all journalists from major media outlets."

"Just press the shutter button randomly."

"They can all bring great publicity to Tonglu."

"Everyone should do a good job of providing services so that our journalist friends can feel the warmth of the people of Tonglu. We should also find ways to leverage their voices to promote the beautiful mountains, rivers, and scenery of Tonglu."

"This is related to the promotion and development of our cultural tourism industry, and no one can afford to be careless!"

"Yes!!!"

A resounding response rang out.

The minibus continued to drive slowly forward.

Xinghuo Hotel.

Li Yuchun and her assistant boarded the car.

Amidst yawns, the vehicle sped off towards the film and television base.

Her first official film role involved working with a host of film industry heavyweights and included some intense fight scenes, which was extremely challenging for Li Yuchun and left her exhausted.

Fortunately, all of this is true.

Filming should wrap up tomorrow.

Before long, the vehicle arrived at the gate of the film and television base.

"Ouch!"

"Good guy."

"This is quite a big operation!!!"

The various exclamations quickly caught Li Yuchun's attention. She immediately looked out the window with dazed eyes, but the scene before her instantly snapped her back to reality.

On the towering city gate, which is over twenty meters high, red vertical banners are densely hung.

Congratulations on the official opening of the first phase of the Xinghuo Film and Television Base!

This line of text.

It is extremely conspicuous.

Above these uniform congratulatory messages, various company prefixes fluttered in the wind.

'China Film Group, Huayi Brothers, Berna Pictures, Oriental Entertainment, Changhong Film & Television, Changsheng Film & Television, Guangxian Media, Ciwen Media, Tangren Film & Television, Tianyu Media, Renren Cinema, Hairun Qianyi.'

This series of names.

She was almost stunned by his gaze.

Even the company's own name is displayed there.

And here.

Only a part of it.

Many provincial broadcasting groups, the Tonglu local government, and the cultural and tourism departments of Hangzhou and Zhejiang Province sent their congratulations. A large number of bright red banners made the city gate tower look festive.

At this moment, security personnel had set up a cordon far away at the main entrance of the film and television base.

They made every effort to bring order under control at the scene.

The scene was incredibly lively, with many curious locals and fans who had come after hearing the news gathering around, all excitedly gazing into the square.

They didn't care even when they were drenched in sweat from the sun.

A sense of unease arose.

It kept echoing in the air.

The horn kept blaring, and they showed the "Bodyguards and Assassins" access pass.

The vehicle carrying Li Yuchun slowly passed through the cordon and followed the vehicles in front into the lanes that circled the square.

There are many people outside.

There are quite a few people inside.

The square was bustling with activity as reporters and guests took their seats. Various photography equipment was set up in front of the stage, and a huge poster on it immediately caught Li Yuchun's attention.

In the very center of the huge poster stands a tall and imposing figure dressed in magnificent attire.

Stand sideways.

That half of his profile looked quite cold and stern.

Li Yuchun recognized the man at a glance. Although she had gained immense popularity through "Super Girl," she had nothing to be proud of in front of him.

This guy is the one who has stirred up a storm in the market with one hit film or television work after another.

Based on the other party's illustrious reputation.

Don't talk about yourself.

Even among the big shots in the production crew, none of them dared to say they could easily dominate.

On either side of that tall figure were arranged various figures of ancient court officials, the men handsome and the women beautiful, all firmly and steadily supporting him in the very center.

A large line of text at the top of the poster.

The opening ceremony for the large-scale TV series "Empresses in the Palace" and the launch ceremony for the first phase of the Tonglu Xinghuo Film and Television Base project.

See here.

Li Yuchun couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

She certainly didn't come to attend the opening ceremony of "Empresses in the Palace".

I was just thinking about the film set.

We have to go in from here.

It seems that the highly anticipated TV series has finally officially started filming. No wonder there was such a big production today. I just wonder how the show will turn out.

this time.

She occasionally runs into actors from the TV series "Empresses in the Palace" at the hotel.

Although they hadn't interacted, those people still left a very deep impression on Li Yuchun.

His spirit is exceptionally high.

He walks with a brisk and energetic pace.

Often, a few people would suddenly appear, excitedly whispering about various plot points, or studying each other's actions, gestures, and expressions to see if they were acting correctly.

This feeling of being completely immersed in the performance was something she had never experienced before, at least in "Bodyguards and Assassins".

They couldn't even understand why these people behaved this way.

"what?"

"That's Otto!"

"Look, Sister Danny is here too."

The urgent words that suddenly rang out behind him made Li Yuchun quickly look away from the densely packed seats in front of the stage.

Not far ahead.

Ouyang Yangzhang stood next to the business vehicle.

The station's renowned gold-medal producer, Danny Long, was climbing out of the car.

"parking!"

Li Yuchun immediately let out a low cry.

At this moment, Ouyang Changlin, who was being watched, smiled brightly and took the initiative to raise her hand and quickly stepped forward: "President Li, President Zhang, congratulations on the start of filming for your new movie."

Opposite him.

Li Luo and Zhang Guoli arrived together.

At this moment, Li Luo was dressed in casual sportswear, while Zhang Guoli, the bald man, was dressed in a suit and tie.

It doesn't matter what you wear.

Both of them looked extremely energetic.

"grateful."

With a hearty laugh, Li Luo warmly shook his hand: "Thank you, Mr. Ou, for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the opening ceremony of 'Empresses in the Palace.' On behalf of the entire crew, I extend my welcome to Mr. Ou."

Regardless of personal relationships.

In formal settings, one must be polite and say polite things.

"Mr. Li, you're too kind."

Ouyang Changlin smiled and waved her arm, congratulating Zhang Guoli again. Then she raised her hand to the side and said, "This is Long Danni. She created high-quality talent shows such as 'Super Boy'."

"Next, Danny will take over as the general manager of EE-Media."

"Hello, Brother Luo."

The woman in the black suit quickly stepped forward and politely extended both hands: "I've long admired your name. I hope to have the opportunity to learn more from Brother Luo in the future."

"Welcome, Manager Long."

Looking at this figure known as the godmother of talent shows, Li Luo warmly shook hands and greeted her: "Sister Danny is a senior in the industry. I should be learning from you. Please forgive me if there is anything I haven't done well in terms of hospitality today."

The other party is not simple.

EE-Media is no ordinary company either.

As a subsidiary of Mango Group, EE-Media has unique advantages.

Backed by Hunan TV's numerous popular talent shows, they have signed a number of talent show stars, including Li Yuchun and Zhang Jie, thus becoming an undeniable force in the industry.

As a leader among them.

In the future, we will inevitably have to interact with each other.

"Brother Luo, you're too kind."

Looking at the handsome face in front of him, Long Danny smiled and let go of his hand: "I really should learn from you."

Create variety shows.

She certainly dares to consider herself an expert.

However, after taking over Tianyu Media as a professional manager, Long Danny's responsibilities went beyond simply developing variety shows; the investment and development of film and television dramas were also of paramount importance.

And this aspect.

Li Luo is definitely someone I should learn from.

This is also why Ouyang Changlin brought her here today—to showcase her to industry peers and, incidentally, to help Long Danni expand her network within the industry.

Although they are all people in the entertainment industry.

However, the fields of variety shows, television, movies, and music each have their own sub-circles, both large and small.

Want to break out of the circle.

It's not a simple matter.

At the very least, for many high-quality film and television projects, outsiders often have money but can't find an opportunity to get involved, or even if they do, they just end up being suckers who pay exorbitant premiums.

Just as the group was greeting each other.

Footsteps.

They approached rapidly in a chaotic manner.

“Outai, Sister Danny, Teacher Guoli, Brother Luo.”

After a series of greetings, a rather square face appeared before Li Luo.

Good guy.

It was Chun-ge!

Although they had been on set for almost a month and were all staying in the same hotel, and Li Luo would occasionally visit the set of "Bodyguards and Assassins," this was the first time he had met Li Yuchun.

This is the winner of the talent show who became an overnight sensation thanks to "Super Girl".

In Li Luo's view.

It is a truly miraculous existence.

He has a good reputation.

Using "top-tier" to describe it seems like there's nothing wrong with it.

But if you ask her what works she has to show for herself, even casual listeners would rack their brains. She has no breakout hits in music, and she's basically just a minor character in movies.

Her singing skills are just so-so.

She's not very good at dancing either.

Looks
There's always a feeling that she's popular in another parallel world.

Yet, he always appears as the grand finale at major award ceremonies and galas, and in any group photo, he's always firmly in the center, leaving everyone completely baffled.

Mixed up, mixed up.

She inexplicably became the queen of the fashion world.

However, a post he had seen online made Li Luopin aware of some subtle aspects of the situation. It is said...

There's a prerequisite for the activities and parties the other party participates in.

That means it has to be the grand finale.

Not the finale.

She would rather not go.

Furthermore, the competition for the final and center positions is incredibly fierce. Those celebrities would fight tooth and nail for a spot, but when Li Yuchun was placed in the center, no one seemed to mind.

Without any works, there is no competitiveness.

They will not feel threatened either.

When she stood in the middle like a lucky baby, no one competed or fought over her, creating a strangely harmonious and courteous scene.

In Li Luo's opinion, anyway.

Perhaps it's biased, but he genuinely felt that this guy was a complete scoundrel.

Keep smiling.

Shake hands and greet the other person politely.

Regardless of whether this guy is a scoundrel or not, Li Luo wouldn't wear his personal preferences on his sleeve.

He ventured out to roam the world.

Wearing one or two masks is perfectly normal.

Seeing that Li Luo didn't intend to invite him to the opening ceremony, Chun Ge had no choice but to say goodbye to the two big leaders, Ouyang Changlin and Long Danni, and kept looking back at the grand scene.

The staff led Ouyang Changlin and Long Danny to their seats.

Li Luo and Zhang Guoli.

They continue to welcome important guests.

People such as Chen Kexin, Wang Zhonglei, Wang Changtian, Yu Dong, and Liu Yanming all came to offer their congratulations. Even those who couldn't make it in person, like Han Sanping, sent their senior executives to send their best wishes.

Firstly, of course, I wanted to show my support, and secondly, I wanted to see the initial results of the Xinghuo Film and Television Base.

How is the construction of Vienna going?

Everyone can see it clearly.

But Zhen Huan City.

But Li Luo covered it tightly.

Today's event is a relatively internal public tour.

Therefore, representatives from various TV stations also attended the event. Their reasons for coming were similar to those of Ouyang Changlin: to evaluate the quality of the TV series "Empresses in the Palace".

Is the scene beautiful?

Although it cannot directly determine the quality of the final product.

However, it is also an important indicator, showing the dedication of the production team.

Amidst the lively and bustling atmosphere.

The square was soon filled with a dense crowd.

Wiping away the sweat, Xinlang reporter Zhao Jun excitedly looked around.

As far as the eye can see.

Every face was filled with anticipation.

The distant shouts of fans drifted over, making the sunlight feel even hotter.

Shake the small fan.

Yu Dong and Wang Changtian talked in hushed tones, occasionally bursting into laughter.

The two of them marveled again.

At least in this situation, Li Luo has already surpassed his teacher.

Aside from not being broadcast live on television today, the attention this drama has garnered is in no way inferior to that of its former mentor, the one who once represented viewership ratings, Zhang Dahuzi.

The backstage area on the other side.

Zheng Xiaolong, Sun Li, She Shiman, Cai Shaofen, Chen Xiao, Chen Zihan, Jiang Qinqin, Wang Xiaochen and others sat excitedly in the bus, anxiously waiting for their moment to appear.

Li Qin blinked and looked out the window. From her angle, she could see a corner of the venue.

He nervously swallowed.

The start of filming for "Dream of the Red Chamber" was never this lively and extravagant.

He tossed the mineral water bottle to his assistant.

Lin Yue grabbed the walkie-talkie and walked around quickly.

With eyes darting around like lightning, he checked everything. He adjusted the red cloth covering the camera, arranged the roast suckling pig properly, and quickly replaced the knife with a longer one so that everyone could easily dig into it together later.

Fireworks and firecrackers.

These also need to be checked repeatedly.

A corner of the stage.

The two leading ladies of Guangxian Media.

Liu Yan and Xie Nan nervously recited the names of the important leaders and guests attending the opening ceremony today, as well as the names and relevant information of the actors.

Even if you've already memorized it perfectly, sharpening your knife at the last minute won't make it any sharper.

Amidst much anticipation.

The clock quietly ticked to 9:30 a.m.

The music stopped abruptly, and the hushed conversations of the crowd in the square quickly subsided.

The breeze blows.

Li Luo, sitting in the middle of the front row, took a deep breath.

I squinted at the drifting white clouds.

"Wow~~~"

A wave of applause suddenly erupted as the two beautiful hosts, Liu Yan and Xie Nan, walked gracefully onto the stage, waving their fair arms at the camera with beaming smiles.
"Hello everyone, I am Liu Yan."

"Good morning."

"I am Xie Nan."

"Welcome everyone to the beautiful Tonglu, to the Tonglu Xinghuo Film and Television Base located on the banks of the Fuchun River."

"Thank you to all the respected leaders and guests for attending the opening ceremony of the large-scale TV series 'Empresses in the Palace' and the launch ceremony of the first phase of the Tonglu Xinghuo Film and Television Base!"

The two girls' clear voices, mixed with enthusiastic applause, soared into the sky.

"ignition!!!"

Lin Yue pressed the intercom button forcefully.

As her voice faded, fireworks exploded on the towering city gate, more than twenty meters high, right in front of the hundreds of guests, sending colorful and dazzling smoke billowing into the sky.

In an instant.

It was as if a beautiful painting was unfolding over the Fuchun River.

Excited cheers erupted and surged in all directions like thunder.

The commotion was so loud that even the crew of "Bodyguards and Assassins" filming in the film studio could hear it. Wang Xueqi, Fan Bingbing, Nicholas Tse, Eric Tsang, Li Yuchun and others looked up in surprise.

He stared blankly at the rising colorful smoke.

J.

Everyone was surprised by the scale of the event.

When the cheers subsided.

At the enthusiastic invitation of the two beautiful female hosts, Lin Cheng, the local official, and Lin Yue, the manager of Xinghuo Film and Television, took the stage to deliver speeches.

Although it's a cliché.

But this is a necessary step.

We must express our gratitude and welcome to all the guests.

When the two delivered their speeches.

Then things quickly got busy. At the staff's notification, the actors sitting in the bus excitedly stood up and got off the bus one after another in the order of their appearance.

With immense excitement and surging emotions, I quickly walked towards the side of the stage.

The sound of low cheers.

The sounds echoed throughout the ranks.

The scene was grand.

However, the process is very simple.

Heart to heart.

Li Luo was unwilling to sit in the sun for more than an hour just to watch some inexplicable song and dance performance.

After the speech was finished.

Let's get straight to the point.

"Thank you, Manager Lin."

Liu Yan glanced quickly at the cue card in her hand, then raised the microphone with a big smile: "I really appreciate the strong support from all parties, which is why our Tonglu Xinghuo Film and Television Base has been able to achieve this in less than a year."

"The first phase of the project was put into use immediately."

"I think everyone is very clear about the grand opening film of the Xinghuo Film and Television Base."

"That's the large-scale historical drama series 'Empresses in the Palace,' co-produced by Xinghuo Films and Changsheng Films, with an investment of 1.5 million RMB!!!"

"Next."

"Please welcome our creative team to the stage."

"welcome."

Xie Nan picked up where she left off, raising his arms and shouting to the side, "Mr. Zheng Xiaolong, the famous director!"

"Go, Director Zheng!"

"Go, go! Director Zheng, you look so cool today!"

"come on!"

Amidst a chorus of encouraging voices, Zheng Xiaolong laughed heartily and gave high-fives to several people around him, then strode up the steps with boundless energy.

Such movement.

The noise rose and fell in the square at the main entrance of the Xinghuo Film and Television Base.

As each actor took the stage, applause and gasps of surprise rang out continuously, while the reporters kept their cameras constantly in motion.

The shutter clicked almost non-stop.

Fans in the distance screamed, while onlookers across the street, climbing up a tree, watched intently through binoculars.

Nothing.

There are just too many beautiful women!

Although everyone appeared in casual clothes, it couldn't hide the actresses' stunning beauty; their long legs and beautiful faces were dazzling.

Wang Zhonglei was dumbfounded.

He kept glancing at the guy sitting next to him.

Smile on face.

It looked incredibly alluring.

"Actors: Mandy Sheh, Li Tianzhu, Liu Xuehua, Cai Shaofen."

Actor: Chen Xiao.

I saw that handsome young man with striking eyebrows and bright eyes walk onto the stage.

Wang Zhonglei blinked hard.

"actor:"

"Sun Li!!!"

Amidst continuous applause, Xie Nan called out the last name on the card. One by one, the actors from the "Empresses in the Palace" cast excitedly waved and walked onto the stage, each showcasing their unique charm.

When Sun Li excitedly arrived at the center of the stage.

Up there.

There were already more than twenty people standing side by side.

Among these people, the vast majority are young actresses with outstanding looks.

Whether the play is good or not.

This cannot be confirmed at this time.

However, one thing is absolutely undeniable: this is definitely the most visually appealing film and television cast in recent years. Even Li Shaohong's "Dream of the Red Chamber" couldn't gather so many beautiful actresses.

The reporters in the audience were already busy taking photos.

Such a beautiful sight.

Let them frantically press the shutter button in their hands.

"That's right~"

Liu Yan flipped through the cards in her hand, puzzled, and looked at the queue with the microphone in her hand: "I've already called all the names here, but why does it feel like someone is missing?"

"Who else?"

The actors couldn't help but grin slightly.

All eyes turned excitedly to the audience below the stage.

"Ok?"

Xie Nan then spread out one hand, looking around the audience with a puzzled expression: "Is there anyone who hasn't come up on stage yet? Right, right, it seems there's still one person who hasn't appeared. Do you know his name?"

"Li Luo!"

A jumble of answers rang out amidst laughter.

"What is your name?"

Liu Yan cupped her hands to her ears.

"Li Luo!!!"

Upon seeing the figure leap onto the stage, thunderous cheers and applause swept across the scenic banks of the Fuchun River.
