Chapter 480 Labeling

The mornings and nights in April are cool.

But at noon, there was already a hint of summer in the air.

Especially now that the sun is shining brightly and there are crowds of people around, even though there are staff members clearing the way, Li Luo still breaks out in sweat after squeezing in with Wang Zhonglei for a while.

In addition to various media and guests of all sizes, there were also many extras wearing armor around.

Soldiers stood around with spears in their hands.

There were flags fluttering again on the city walls.

As expected of a beard, the scene is always grand.

The actors started filming with makeup on, wearing either long robes or heavy armor.

Both men and women wear thick wigs.

Li Luo's eyes twitched when he saw this.

The weather will soon get hot. Only those who have tried filming an ancient war movie in this outfit will know what it feels like.

Scan around.

Zhang Li, wearing a blue and white long dress, came into view.

My fellow villager looks good in ancient costume. After removing the exaggerated afro, he looks a bit playful. He is sitting near the middle, so it seems that he plays a good role.

It was just that Zhang Li was obviously a little nervous.

He stood straight and was swallowing saliva continuously.

This is normal.

After all, he is a newcomer who just debuted.

Even though the production scale of "The Military Saint" is average, it is already a big crew for her.

Next to her is the male lead of the show.

Zhu Yawen plays the role of Sun Wu.

The other party was one of the reasons why he came to visit the set today. In the TV series "Under the Zhengyang Gate", Zhu Yawen played the male lead Han Chunming.

Although he is from the Jiangnan region, he played the role of a Beijing gentleman quite well.

Among the artists of our own company.

Although Huang Bo’s acting skills are strong, he is not well matched with Han Chunming. Wang Xun is too special and Sun Yizhou can’t act that way, so Li Luo can only choose to let things return to their original track.

It is important to promote people, but it is also important to be able to shoot the show well.

Making a bad drama is like insulting others!Zhang Li was nervous, and Zhu Yawen was not much better, their smiles looked a little stiff.

If I remember correctly.

That guy is also just starting to come to the fore.

After scanning a few unfamiliar actors, Li Luo's eyes fixed on them. He was surprised to find that Gao Xiaoqin from "In the Name of People" was also present, but he could not remember the actor's name.

Coincidentally not.

He Zhuoyan, who debuted in Super Girl, appeared in his eyes.

When I visited Wang Zhongjun’s horse farm before, she was extremely enthusiastic, so it was not surprising that she appeared in Huayi’s drama.

This "The Military Saint".

There is no impression in my memory.

But it's normal. The advantage of TV series is that the investment risk is not that great.

As long as you have a good relationship with the heads of relevant departments and are even willing to share some of the profits, there will be basically no risk of losing money.

It can become popular.

It is always a low probability event.

The current lineup is probably not Huayi’s flagship drama.

Look back.

Led by Wang Zhonglei, Li Luo went straight to the second row.

When the crew starts filming, the front-stage staff will normally sit in the front, while the behind-the-scenes production team will sit back. Producers like Zhang Da Hu Zi habitually sit in the second row.

Have the director and actors sit up front.

Start-up day.

There are often a lot of things to think about.

Zhang Zhongzhong, with messy hair, was whispering to the staff to ensure that the ceremony could proceed smoothly.

Li Luo chuckled and sat down beside him with a swagger.

Occupy Wang Zhonglei's position.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Zhonglei would definitely be unhappy, but now he sat next to Li Luo as if he was enjoying the show.

That little look was so teasing!

"Medium tired~~"

Noticing someone sitting next to him, Zhang Zhongzhong turned around subconsciously after explaining things, but was frightened by the sudden appearance of a strange man and almost jumped up, causing his voice to become disjointed.

"No."

With his eyebrows furrowed, Zhang Zhong resisted the urge to glare and say, "Who are you? Who told you to sit over here?"

In this occasion.

Everyone's seat is arranged.

How can we allow strangers to run around everywhere? That would be too unreasonable.

"Are you in charge?"

Li Luo crossed his arms over his chest and said in a muffled voice.

"Hey!!!"

Zhang Zhongzhong was choked and his face turned red.

He certainly couldn't control other things, but in the crew of "The Military Saint", there was nothing that he, the chief producer, couldn't control!

"Pfft~"

Seeing the bearded man's frustrated look, Wang Zhonglei couldn't hold back his laughter any longer.

This reaction.

But it made Zhang Zhongzhong calm down quickly.

His eyes narrowed as he carefully examined the guy wearing a mask.

"Hey!!!"

There was another cry, but the meaning was completely different. Zhang Zhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and a rough slap fell on Li Luo's shoulder: "You have become more capable, haven't you?"

"How dare you play such a joke on me."

"Haha."

Wang Zhonglei immediately burst into laughter, attracting the attention of people around him.

But it soon deviated again.

Not everyone can get involved in the boss's affairs.

"Shh~"

Li Luo put his finger on the mask and signaled the guy to be quiet. Then he looked at Hu Zi with a smile and said, "I am planning to give you a surprise. Congratulations to Mr. Zhong on the start of his new play."

“Why are you wearing a mask?”

Zhang Zhongzhong looked at the mask on his face and waved his hand to signal him to take it off.

shook his head.

Li Luo gestured to the actors in front of him.

Or maybe he is a smart guy!Zhang Zhongzhong instantly guessed what he wanted to express. Although he didn't care about the opinions of the new actors at all, it was always right to be cautious.

Scratching his beard, Zhang Zhongzhong couldn't help but chuckle.

Talking to each other.

The opening ceremony will begin soon.

The leaders of the production company spoke, the leaders of the film and television city spoke, and the representatives of the actors spoke. In short, they all spoke one after another amid applause.

Then the actors came on stage one after another.

They stood in front of the microphone and introduced the roles they played to reporters.

Zhang Zhongzhong then tied red scarves around the necks of several leading actors one by one, for good luck. They then came to the incense table, holding tall incense sticks, and bowed down in unison as the emcee shouted.

Be it feudalism or superstition!Who doesn’t want to be safe and smooth in the next photoshoot?

Several actors with more roles were so excited that their faces flushed, and they showed off their charm in front of the camera.

Soon it was time to distribute red envelopes.

There was a burst of cheers, and the staff in front of and behind the stage swarmed towards the boss of the crew. This scene made the rookie Zhang Li a little overwhelmed, and she was quickly pushed away by the crowd.

It's not bullying.

But there will always be some thoughts of exclusion and temptation.

At the beginning, everyone was quite cautious towards Zhang Li.

In the crew.

Beautiful actresses need to be treated with caution.

He may not have much ability, but no one knows who is the boss behind him. Don't offend some big shot for no reason, or you will be beaten to death by others.

very beginning.

It is rumored that she is a relative of Wang Zhonglei.

But after joining the group for a few days, he found that it was not the case at all. Wang Zhonglei had no private contact with this newcomer at all. When they met, they just nodded and said hello.

Let everyone find out more about Zhang Li's resume.

A complete newcomer, no doubt.

In addition, since joining the crew, he has not shown any signs of being very familiar with the director, supervisor, producer and other senior executives.

He bows and nods to everyone he meets, and behaves in a cautious manner.

Then things get tricky.

It is a consensus in the circle that beautiful actresses are not easy to mess with, but there are few actresses who can join the group who are not beautiful, and it is impossible for all of them to have a great background.

Even more actresses can only barely get a significant role.

What happens next still depends on your own efforts.

In everyone's opinion.

Zhang Li is such an actress.

For this reason, many people have been eager to make a move in the past two days, some have been trying to strike up a conversation, some have been testing the waters. After all, they have to shoot for several months in the crew, and who wouldn't want to pick up a delicate and beautiful girl to relieve their worries and fatigue?

It’s easy to accept the challenge.

If you don't accept the challenge, you will inevitably be treated coldly.

In addition, occupying such an important position will also bring some vague hostility.

Enter the new crew.

This is the complicated environment Zhang Li faced.

But he could only grit his teeth and persevere. Luo Ge had helped enough, and the importance of the role he got was even beyond his expectations.

She didn't dare to hope for anything more.

Ultimately, people still have to rely on themselves.

Although Zhang Li was pushed to the side, she didn't look angry at all. She took a deep breath, quickly forced a smile on her face, and continued walking towards the queue.

Just stood at the back of the line.

Someone followed.

Subconsciously looking back and nodding, Zhang Li continued to move forward.

Although she was wondering why the guy standing behind her was wearing a mask, she didn't have the mind to think about that right now. She just wanted to show her best condition when there were so many reporters.

“Thank you, producer.”

"Thank you, Brother Zhonglei."

The queue shortened quickly amid the voices of thanks, and almost everyone had a red envelope in their hands.

The scene was filled with joy.

“Thank you, producer.”

Zhang Li smiled brightly and stretched out her hands forward.

"Go aside."

Zhang Zhongzhong waved the red envelope in his hand and said unhappily, "You always come to join in the fun of everything. Does this red envelope have anything to do with you? Don't try to take advantage of me here."

As the chief producer, everyone is watching Big Beard's every move.

The crackling of words made the surroundings instantly dead silent, and everyone twisted their necks in unison, all pretending to be watching a good show.

Zhang Li's fair face.

In an instant, it turned bright red like blood.

She was disheveled by the wind and her head was buzzing. She didn't know when she had offended this powerful producer, and he made her lose face in public at this moment.

"Yeah~"

Seeing her flushed face, Zhang Zhongzhong quickly handed over the red envelope: "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the guy behind you."

Zhang Li took the red envelope in a daze.

A figure jumped out from behind and pounced on Zhang Zhongzhong with lightning speed.

A red envelope was snatched from his hand.

The people around were scared into chaos.

Who is so bold as to snatch things from Zhang Zhongzhong?

It’s okay to be robbed!

The bearded man unexpectedly burst into laughter.

Wang Zhonglei also stepped forward with a smile, and took out a thick red envelope from his pocket and handed it over: "I also have a red envelope here, thank you Mr. Li for coming to attend the opening ceremony of "The Soldier's Saint"."

You can't steal the limelight, you must help with publicity.

Red envelopes are also necessary for this purpose.

You can't just give them a few dollars and send them away.

"Thank you, Brother Zhonglei."

Li Luo took off his mask, smiled and took the red envelope with both hands: "Then I won't be polite!"

Zhang Zhongzhi blew his beard and glared.

This kid, you talk as if you would be polite.

As the mask was taken off and the familiar face appeared, the people around were once again in chaos, but everyone's eyes lit up instantly, the other party was not just a popular actor.

He is also the owner of a film and television company and a new director who just won a Golden Horse Award.

The former represents the ability to make cakes.

And the latter.

It means that the cake can still be made deliciously.

Therefore, whether it is the front-stage or back-stage staff, their eyes light up when they see this face. People who can bring benefits to everyone are always welcome, even though the probability of that benefit falling on themselves is very low.

"Mr. Li."

Action director Zhao Jian was the first to react, and he walked forward happily: "Long time no see, why did you come here without saying hello?"

"Senior!"

Zhu Yawen hurriedly followed.

"Brother Luo."

He Zhuoyan looked excited.

With excited shouts, the crowd instantly surrounded Li Luo.

Holding the red envelope tightly in her hand, Zhang Li was pushed back again and again by the rush of people, but her eyes were always fixed on the figure in the crowd. She was so happy that she didn't know how to react.

The lively commotion attracted the attention of entertainment reporters.

Li Luo's loud shout rang out, and everyone ran over with their guns and cannons.

This is a two-time Academy Award winner.

did not expect.

We actually met here.

The reporters were so excited that they kept pressing the shutter buttons frantically towards Li Luo.

The chaos gradually died down after a few minutes.

At Wang Zhonglei's invitation, Li Luo happily took a group photo with the crew's main creators, but even though others tried to refuse, he still resolutely stood at the outermost position.

Wait until the photo is taken.

He quickly got into business mode.

"Yes, I came here today to visit Teacher Zhang Zhongzhong."

“Congratulations on the start of filming of “The Soldier”.”

"Hahaha, Zhu Yawen is my junior. How can a senior like me not come and show some support? He is a very good actor. I hope everyone can pay more attention to his works."

"Thank you."

“I’m very happy to win the Emerging Director Award.”

"Hopefully, I certainly hope that we'll have the opportunity to work together again."

During the following interview, Li Luo handled various questions skillfully, mainly praising the new play.

Even when reporters asked about "Painted Skin" and "Fall in Love with You", he quickly changed the subject.

Promotion also depends on the occasion.

Today I am here to show my support rather than to disrupt the event.

In response to Li Luo's praise, Zhu Yawen was delighted and waved his hands repeatedly, saying that the senior has always been her role model for study and hard work, and she hopes to play every role as seriously as he does.

Between mutual flattery.

There was laughter at the scene.

After the ceremony, everyone moved to the hotel to hold the opening banquet.

Under the guidance of the staff, the crew members and entertainment reporters each went to their respective banquet halls. This was a routine operation and had nothing to do with dining standards.

the reason is simple.

Unless there are special circumstances, no one wants to deal with work while eating.

While enjoying the meal, I took a photo.

No one can hold it.

Although he was not a member of the crew, Li Luo was still forcibly dragged to the main table by Zhang Zhongzhong, regardless of their previous friendship.

Just the publicity just now is worthy of the "Military Saint" crew's serious attention.

Those who sit at the main table are extraordinary.

The producer, the representative of the financing company, the directors of literary and martial arts scenes, the supervisor, the heads of various departments, and finally the male and female protagonists of the play, everyone who sits here can have a say in the crew.

Before sitting down, Li Luo took a quick look around.

"Zhang Li."

Seeing his fellow villager sitting not far away, he patted the back of the chair next to him with a smile.

Along with his voice.

A series of surprised glances shot towards Zhang Li like lightning.

The girl who had been like a transparent person just now instantly became the focus of the whole audience.

Puzzled and confused.

Of course, there are also sudden realizations.

No wonder she was able to snatch the important supporting role out of nowhere. It turned out that she had relied on Luo Ge. Those guys who had once flirted with her and excluded her quickly smiled and looked at Zhang Li with kindness.

Fiery gaze.

This made Zhang Li swallow hard.

I forced myself to suppress the feeling that my heart was about to jump out of my throat.

During the interview just now, Li Luo didn't even say hello to her. Although she was very excited, Zhang Li was tactful enough not to join in the fun.

I didn't expect that I would just come to a private occasion.

A surprise awaits.

The surprised looks from all directions and the smiling faces.

Zhang Li almost shivered!"Feel sorry."

She quickly apologized to the people at the same table and walked towards the main table with light steps.

"Sorry guys."

Li Luo smiled and looked around, then raised his hand to signal the girl who was walking over, "Zhang Li is my fellow villager. I haven't seen her for a while, so I asked her to come over and chat. Do you mind?"

It can be said that Wang Zhonglei has done his job well.

Except him.

Even Zhang Zhongzhong didn't know that this was the actor arranged by Li Luo. Many people were surprised just now.

"Of course I don't mind."

Zhang Zhongzhong spoke first, smiling and waving his hand, saying, "Xiao Zhang, right? Come sit down, sit down. I remember you were from the Central Academy of Drama. I didn't expect you to be from the same hometown as Li Luo!"

“Thank you, producer.”

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Li quickly greeted everyone here one after another.

After a polite response.

Everyone greeted each other and sat down lively.

There is no need to guess about some relationships. Everyone knows that fellow villagers are just a cover. But since Li Luo has set up this cover, then the relationship between others is just fellow villagers. Don't gossip about it.

Matters between men and women are normal in the circle.

Just don't admit it.

No one can do anything to him!

Zhang Li still hadn't recovered from the shock even after she sat down on the soft chair.

The smile on his lips couldn't be suppressed.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether Luo Ge came here for me today or not.

Zhang Li was very clear that from the moment the other party appeared, her situation in the crew would definitely undergo a drastic change. From then on, she just needed to concentrate on acting, and all the messy things would go away.

Not just in this play, I will be labeled as Li Luo from now on.

But this kind of thing.

How many people would love to have it.

After Zhang Da Huzi made a few simple toasts, the staff in the banquet hall all raised their glasses and drank them all, as a farewell drink before going to the battle.

Then everyone drank and had lunch in a lively atmosphere.

"Arlo."

After gulping down a mouthful of Maozi, Zhang Zhongzhong looked at Li Luo in confusion: "I saw on the news this morning that you were still holding a press conference in Chancheng, but you suddenly ran to Zhuozhou. How is your new movie going?"

Of course he knew that news had a lag.

I just don't understand why Li Luo suddenly came to my side. Logically, it should be the busiest time to prepare for the filming of the new drama.

The rest wait.

He also looked at Li Luo with curiosity.

Although it is not stated explicitly, it is a consensus in the industry that the style of movies is higher than that of TV series, especially since Li Luo's movie this time is a return to action movies, and he is working with the director of "SPL" at the time.

It’s hard not to be curious about all of this.

“I’m just an actor.”

Throwing a peanut into his mouth, Li Luo said with a smile: "I can also produce a film, and let others handle those trivial matters. I have to go back to Beijing to edit the TV series that I just finished filming."

"I came by to visit you guys."

Everyone felt their teeth ache, what does it mean to be just an actor?

This speech clearly includes four positions: actor, producer, director and editor.

Zhu Yawen scratched his thigh.

He didn't know what to say at this moment.

This senior of mine is well-known for his energy and wide range of interests. He can even handle the work of screenwriter. He does every job very well. To be honest, it's hard not to admit defeat.

"correct."

After chatting for a while, Li Luo looked at Zhu Yawen and said, "Junior, I still don't know which company you signed with."

"what?"

Zhu Yawen opened her mouth blankly and looked at him in confusion.

At the same time, a certain sense of excitement urged this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes to straighten his back quickly.

"cough!!!"

Wang Zhonglei coughed violently.

He pinched the chopsticks and looked at Li Luo warily.

In terms of poaching.

This guy has a criminal record!Zhu Yawen's performance in the TV series "Crossing the Guandong" was very good, so he was pushed to be the male lead in "The Military Saint" to see if he could become popular. He didn't want others to take advantage of him halfway.

"Hey."

Li Luo laughed loudly and looked at Wang Zhonglei with contempt: "Look at you, after all, Ya Wen is my junior, what's wrong with caring about me?"

It is very likely that he is from Huayi, otherwise he would not be allowed to be the male lead.

But he still wanted to make sure.

"I'm just afraid you'll care."

Wang Zhonglei's funny words made everyone present laugh.

"Ah."

Under Zhu Yawen's eager gaze, Li Luo smiled and shook his head, then raised his glass and said, "Since we are all family, I will just say something. I am planning a TV series."

"After you finish filming "The Soldier", how about coming over and playing the leading role for me?"

"Explain first!"

"Senior is very poor, so you shouldn't ask for too much money."

"what?"

Zhu Yawen's jaw dropped with a bang.

It felt like a pie had suddenly fallen from the sky, and the three words "male lead" made my head buzz.
