Chapter 643 Flat Rejection
Filming has begun.

The storm outside the film crew was raging.

Radio and television stations across North America did not miss this hot event, with talk shows, interviews, and various program recordings frequently mentioning last night's MTV Video Music Awards.

The first to bear the brunt.

Of course, it's not about who won what award.

It's about how that bastard Kanye ruined a beautiful night for a 19-year-old girl and destroyed the awards ceremony that countless people had worked so hard to prepare for.

About bastards.

This statement has a significant backing.

It originated from the White House in Washington, D.C., where the first thing Obama, the current owner of that famous house, asked when he arrived at work was, "What's Kanye doing on stage? He's a real jerk!"

As soon as these words came out.

It became a sensation across the United States at an astonishing speed.

Even prominent figures from various sectors quickly offered their comments on this.

In an interview, renowned singer Katy Perry stated directly to the camera, "Kanye's behavior is no different from stepping on a kitten."

"Until now."

"I can't believe he did such a thing."

Singer P!nk left a message on social media:

"Taylor Swift deserves the moment that is rightfully hers, and Taylor Swift should know that we all love her. In my opinion, Kanye is the most disgusting guy in the world."

During the interview, Mark Wahlberg gestured wildly at the camera:

"I have to say last night was the most chaotic MTV Video Music Awards I've ever seen. Kanye West, that idiot, almost ruined everything. Taylor Swift has every right to enjoy the glory she received."

"Also, thanks to my brother Li!"

"Thanks to him for standing up like a gentleman and preventing this from completely spiraling out of control. Can you imagine Kanye actually shoving him on stage just to grab the microphone from a 19-year-old girl?"

"asshole."

"Kanye, you're a bastard!!!"

“You should feel lucky. If this had happened in a boxing ring, Lee could have knocked you down with just one right hook.”

"of course."

"I won't do that."

"Bruises?"

"The bruises on my face are from my morning workout. Yes, it was for physical training and the result of a fight with a professional boxer. It has absolutely nothing to do with Li."

The camera is shaky.

Connor and Irving, standing behind him, were trying hard not to laugh.

Renowned comedian and talk show host Danny Cook also shared his opinion on social media:

"Thank you, Kanye."

"I'm grateful to him for making me fall in love with country music."

Singers, actors, models, hosts, and even fashion designers all joined in, expressing their dissatisfaction in their own ways, creating an overwhelming wave that swept towards Kanye.

This puts them under tremendous public pressure.

That's how it is in the US.

No one cares how wild you are in private, but you must maintain a proper demeanor in public, otherwise everyone will help you to be respectable!
at the same time.

Details about the awards ceremony are also being revealed.

Many people have come forward to say that they saw Kanye drinking brandy from a bottle more than once during the red carpet event last night, which has further damaged Kanye's image.

The extent to which the event has become a hot topic.

Even every scene on stage was analyzed frame by frame by major media outlets.

They even went so far as to invite lip-reading experts to join the fray.

Kanye was facing away from the camera at the time.

Taylor was at a loss.

To find out what exactly happened during the brief standoff, we can only analyze it through the perspective of Li Luo, who was standing in front of Taylor. To everyone's surprise and delight, they discovered that this Asian man was actually swearing at the time.

"Fuck, off!"

This mouth shape was easily identified by lip-reading experts, combined with the previous slight lip movements.

It's obvious they're telling you to get lost.

Infer from this.

Kanye not only went on stage to try to grab the microphone, but also verbally abused those who tried to stop him from leaving. The shoving incident further fueled the already turbulent public outcry.

“I like this Asian man. Yes, he’s absolutely right. Kanye is the one who needs to get out of here.”

"Does anyone know his name? Singer, actor, or model? Whatever his profession, I'm really curious about him now, and I want to tell him he did a great job!"

"Did anyone see Kanye push someone and then awkwardly back away himself?"

"Like a clown."

"The Asian man's name is Lee, Luo Lee. He is Chinese, so according to the Chinese way of addressing him, he should be called Lee Luo. Lee played the werewolf Jacob in last year's hit movie 'Twilight'."

"In addition, he is also a very good action actor."

"He starred in exciting action movies in China, such as S·P·L, Anger Fire, and Ye Wen."

"In fact."

"Wallberg is absolutely right."

"Kanye is a clown in front of Lee. I have no doubt that he can take down Kanye with one hand."

A clip from last night's performance on stage.

It spread rapidly across the entire internet.

The Asian man standing between Taylor and Kanye successfully attracted a lot of attention. Li Luo's fans in North America were overjoyed and introduced him to even more people.

Such a popular event.

Naturally, the heated discussions spread across the ocean.

When the photo of Li Luo standing steadily in front of American singer Taylor Swift and looking at Kanye West with a hint of mockery made the headlines on Sina Entertainment, it didn't leave domestic fans dumbfounded.

"Fuck."

"When did Luo Ge go to Hollywood again?!"

"What kind of awards ceremony is this? The MTV Music Video Awards. What does this award have to do with Brother Luo? According to rumors, Brother Luo is famously 'good at singing'."

"Is Brother Luo up to something again?"

"Oh my god, it's Taylor!!!"

"Is Brother Luo really that irritable? He actually got into a fight with that hip-hop guy. But wasn't he filming Ip Man in Tonglu? No, he attended the premiere of 'The Founding of a Republic' just a few days ago."

Various curious comments.

It also surged on the Chinese internet.

However, the netizens here were more calm and collected, basically just watching the drama unfold.

Beijing at this time.

A convoy of cars sped into the 798 Art Zone under the cover of night.
Passing over the gate.

They stopped several times in front of the Red Mansion.

The dull thud of the door slamming shut echoed through the night, followed by hearty laughter.

“Outai”.

Zhang Guoli and Lin Yue stepped forward together. The former laughed and extended his hands, saying, "I'm really sorry to have troubled you to come all this way. Actually, it should have been Manager Lin and I who came to visit you."

There's no need to be so polite.

After shaking hands with Zhang Guoli, Ouyang Changlin turned to Lin Yue with a smile and asked, "Manager Lin, does our CEO Li intend to pursue a career in the music industry?"

"Hahaha."

Lin Yue smiled and shook her head, then quickly shook his hand: "Actually, President Li was just invited to present an award. He should be returning to Tonglu to continue filming in a couple of days. Welcome, Mr. Ou, to Xinghuo Film and Television."

"Welcome, leaders of the television station!"

Amidst joyful laughter.

Zhang Guoli, Lin Yue, and the people who got off the bus shook hands one after another.

As the leader.

Ouyang Changlin quickly gave an introduction.

In addition to senior executives from Hunan TV, representatives from Zhejiang TV, Beijing TV, and Dragon TV also came on this trip.

Along with the legal team, more than a dozen people got out of the car.

And these.

It was the team that Ouyang Changlin had gathered together.

We should work together to try and secure the premiere rights for "Empresses in the Palace".

Jiangsu TV, Sichuan TV, Chongqing TV, and other provincial TV stations have all joined forces, and even Hunan TV, with its deep pockets, has no choice but to bring in a few helpers to share the pressure, determined to sign this potential drama king.

Ouyang Changlin had a large entourage.

Xinghuo Films and Changsheng Films have also made quite a splash.

The legal team followed Zhang Guoli and Lin Yue out to greet them, where a large group of people stood at the entrance.

Greeted each other.

Manager Lin warmly invited everyone to enter Xinghuo Film and Television.

Their steps were disordered.

It roared as if it were rushing into battle.

Los Angeles.

The midday sun was extremely bright.

The light and shadows of varying sizes fell to the ground through the swaying treetops, and the waves of heat made one sweat even while sitting down, accompanied by screams that rose and fell in the distance.

It makes people more restless and irritable.

Holding a tray.

Li Luo sat down at an outdoor table next to the teaching building and casually picked up a piece of watermelon and put it in his mouth.

The juice burst in his mouth, adding a rare touch of coolness.

Half a box of fruit salad.

Add a few beef ribs with alternating layers of fat and lean meat.

These appetizing-looking items are the meals we just picked up in line. Most meals on Hollywood film sets are buffet style, with cookies, desserts, drinks, salads, bread, and meats.

Normally.

Eat whatever you want to avoid waste.

There are also very strict requirements regarding meal times. It's not that meal times are short, but rather that catering services must be provided to the crew every four hours.

This time.

It's almost mandatory.

The situation in China where the entire crew goes hungry if a single shot doesn't turn out well is almost impossible in Hollywood. Otherwise, the major labor unions would be quite willing to talk to the production company.

"Taylor!"

Screams echoed throughout the campus.

Li Luo turned his head to look at the direction from which the sound came. A figure nimbly flipped over the wall in the distance and then ran across the football field at lightning speed, but was quickly tackled by security personnel.

No matter how much this fan begs.

He was dragged away by security personnel, who simply grabbed his arms.

"That's insane!"

Approaching with brisk steps, Emma Roberts swaggered up to him, backpack swishing across her shoulder: "I'm finally done with this. You did a good job. As for what happens next..."

He swallowed his words abruptly, and the star's son looked at Li Luo with a hint of pity in his eyes.

"Congratulations on completing the filming."

After swallowing the watermelon, Li Luo's smile was rather stiff.

"Thank you."

Emma Roberts, too lazy to say anything more, held up her hand to him: "Nice to meet you. Let's go out for drinks sometime, Christine. I'm curious if your alcohol tolerance is really that exaggerated."

Although he is only 18 years old.

There are still three years until the legal drinking age.

However, Emma spoke about drinking very naturally. Of course, if Li Luo were a reporter, she would definitely be a teetotaler.

"OK."

Li Luo smiled and gave her a high five.

With another wave, the celebrity offspring strode away in his ankle boots.

Look at this setup.

I wish I could run away as fast as I could.

Li Luo could completely understand her feelings.

Actually, Emma's last scene today was extremely simple, and it should have taken a little over an hour to film. But it's taken four hours in the end. It would be a miracle if she didn't run away as fast as she could.

Thinking about the filming just now.

Li Luo couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Firstly, Taylor's emotional instability prevented her from getting into character for filming. Exuberant fans and reporters repeatedly broke in to interrupt filming, and Taylor's less-than-stellar acting also contributed to the scene being reshot repeatedly for several hours before the long take could finally be completed.

This scene.

He was exhausted from filming.

It has nothing to do with difficulty; it's mainly about repetition, repetition, and more repetition.

Thinking of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao will arrive soon.

Before the celebrity offspring had gone far, Taylor Swift quickly walked over with a tray in her hand.

"Hi."

Standing two meters away, the country music star subconsciously tidied her messy hair behind her ear: "If you don't mind, may I sit here and have lunch with you?"

"of course."

Li Luo smiled and moved the plate towards herself.

This girl.

She really is tall.

At this moment, Taylor was wearing dark blue skinny jeans and an extremely loose brown plaid shirt, along with a haphazardly tied ponytail, giving off the typical American country girl vibe.

A simple and peaceful farm girl.

He didn't yet have the fashionable and domineering look of singing loudly on the Victoria's Secret runway, surrounded by a group of supermodels.

"Thank you."

Taylor thanked him excitedly and quickly placed his plate on the table. It contained a colorful fruit and vegetable salad, as well as a chicken sandwich, indicating that he was somewhat controlled in his diet.

The assistant behind them wanted to follow.

He was deterred by her gaze.

"plum."

Taylor turned around, somewhat embarrassed, and picked up the sandwich: "I'm so sorry, I didn't do a very good job just now. This is only my second time acting in a movie."

"will not."

Li Luo showed no signs of nervousness at the other person sitting opposite him, casually taking a large bite of the fragrant beef ribs:
"Actually, you acted very well. Just relax."

"is that true?"

Taylor's eyes lit up immediately.

"fake."

Chewing slowly on the grilled meat, Li Luo's expression was incredibly honest: "Your acting skills are about the same as my singing voice, but if you relax, it will definitely help your performance."

"Uh"

The girl blinked rapidly.

This guy is really different from others.

Taylor quickly smiled and took another bite of her sandwich. She knew very well that her acting skills were not very good, and being able to sing like the other person was probably a good compliment.

At least.

That's just average.

"Li, so you're Chinese?"

"Yes."

"I know you have the Great Wall and pandas over there. I really like those cute creatures."

"I would also like."

How many years have you been an actor?

Nine years.

"Really? As far as I know, you're a young actor? Did you debut as a child star?"

How old do you think I am?

"21?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

The summer breeze carried Li Luo's hearty laughter, drawing frequent glances from those around them, wondering what the two people in the eye of the storm were talking about that was so interesting.

Take a bite of the hamburger.

Emmanuel really didn't know what to say.

When he first found this opportunity for Li Luo, he was a little worried about whether there would be any problems with cooperation.

Now things have turned out really bad.

They were having a really lively conversation.

"good."

The director next to her took a sip of coffee, smiled, and looked away: "Taylor is too tense right now, which is why the filming isn't going well. She needs someone to help her relax."

"This meal."

"Actually, we should have made arrangements earlier."

"Although the actor you recommended is Asian, he feels great working with Taylor. He doesn't make people feel awkward or uncomfortable, and his acting is very natural."

"Of course it's great."

Emmanuel raised his chin and said bluntly, "The artists who strive for excellence are always the best in the world!"

The director smiled and shook his head, then continued to enjoy the food in his hand.

And over at the dining table.

Taylor was completely baffled by the laughter.

"20?"

The girl continued to press for answers.

"19!"

Seeing Li Luo's silent smile, Taylor clicked her tongue in surprise: "You're not younger than me, are you?"

The reason I initially guessed it was twenty-one was...

It's because of the mature demeanor that Li Luo exudes.

That's all the reaction I'm seeing.

And then there was the incredibly smooth skin before her, which even she envied, making Taylor repeatedly try to lower her age. Unfortunately, Li Luo just kept laughing and eating the food on his plate at a leisurely pace.

As a last resort.

The country music starlet had to change the subject.

She continued to ask various questions, and at times shared her current feelings.

This left Li Luo both amused and exasperated. She never expected that coming to Hollywood would mean experiencing the constant chatter of Zhen Huan City, and now even eating a meal couldn't be peaceful.

However, in order to ensure a smoother afternoon shoot, he had no choice but to force himself to stay focused.

Don't mention Li Luo.

Even Taylor was surprised by his own performance.

If it were a normal time...

There would never be so many words.

She usually only maintains polite contact with people she has just met, but now she can't help but want to know more about this person she just met, or to confide more in them.

He sat opposite Li Luo.

It was as if all the storms and waves of the outside world had drifted away with it.

Her performance was no different from that of a teenage girl, completely unlike the MTV Best Female Singer who shone brightly in Manhattan last night, surrounded by thousands of fans.

Such behavior made the assistants in the distance exchange bewildered glances.

They shrugged at each other.

He then continued eating heartily.

Lunch is finished.

Taylor Swift's career is on a meteoric rise.

Despite some stumbles in her performance and the inevitable disruptions from enthusiastic fans, the crew successfully completed the day's filming as the sun set over the campus.

Shouts rang out.

The crew members quickly packed up their things, preparing for their evening rest.

I just changed my clothes.

Li Luo was then asked to take photos with the extras.

The sight of these excited and eager foreign girls looking at him made it impossible for Li Luo to say no. He immediately opened his arms wide and posed for various photos with the camera.

"I'll take one too."

Just as I finished smiling, someone else darted up to me from the side.

"Crack!"

The light flashed.

The camera captured their smiles.

"Taylor!!!"

The fans holding cameras froze, followed by excited screams.

Taylor Swift burst into laughter, then quickly took all sorts of photos with the extras, until she had satisfied everyone's requests, before waving goodbye with a wide grin.

"did not expect."

Turning around with her hands in her pockets, she looked at Li Luo with a big smile: "Your popularity is actually quite good."

"of course."

Li Luo showed no humility whatsoever.

He waved and was about to leave.

"and many more."

Taylor quickly stopped him, her eyes full of laughter: "What kind of food do you like? Chinese, Italian, French? Any food you can name!"

"Ok?"

Li Luo shrugged, indicating his confusion.

"Is such that."

Make way for the staff member walking by, and Taylor looked at him very seriously: "I feel that just saying thank you is far from enough. Can you give me a chance to express my gratitude properly again?"

"How about we start with dinner?"

"NO!"

Li Luo didn't even think about it. He smiled and gestured to the dumbfounded girl in front of him, "Thank you very much for the invitation, Miss Swift. Actually, anyone else would have stepped forward at that time."

"A simple thank you is enough."

nodded.

Li Luo turned and left decisively.

He wasn't playing hard to get; he genuinely had no interest in having dinner with her. He'd already made plans with Christine that morning, so why would he stand someone he'd just met up?

He had already reaped the benefits, which was enough for him.

As for other things.

To be honest, Li Luo didn't really have any ideas. Although Taylor Swift would become a global pop superstar in the future, he wasn't so narcissistic as to think that helping her out of trouble would make her so grateful that she would throw herself at him.

Moreover, Taylor had a well-known habit.

This guy especially likes to project his emotions into his work; to put it bluntly, he likes to write about his ex-boyfriends in his songs.

Do it this way.

Li Luo said he was a little scared.

A gentle breeze swept by, ruffling Taylor's hair.

Staring blankly at the receding figure, the country music pop star stood there bewildered.

What... what happened?

自己
Taylor Swift was actually rejected!
Moreover, she could tell that the other person wasn't just putting on an act; they genuinely had no interest in having dinner with her. This unexpected outcome almost left her dumbfounded.

"Tyler?"

An assistant standing not far away walked over.

"I"

Taylor pulled her chin back up and frowned at her personal assistant: "Am I a very unattractive person?"

"will not."

Before the other party could reply.

She shook her head quickly and firmly.

"ASAP."

Taylor shifted her gaze again, looking ahead indignantly: "Tonight I need all the information on Lee Lowe, everything you can find, his age, his works, and so on!"

The assistant's expression was strange.

I couldn't help but follow her gaze.

The tall figure gradually disappeared into the crowd, and the silver light of the car key dangling between his fingers could still be faintly seen.
