Huayu, can you be called the best actor if you don’t indulge yourself? - Chapter 482 Ip Man Joins the Group

It’s the May Day holiday.

The airport was crowded with people, and countless tourists came to this charming city with excitement, wanting to experience the splendor of the foreign concessions.

No matter people come or go.

The news broadcast on the TV on the wall always makes passing tourists stop and watch.

Light up every pair of eyes.

After a long journey around the world, the Olympic flame finally arrived in China. The news was reporting on the torch relay at the Hong Kong Island station. Liu Dehua was seen jogging excitedly with the auspicious cloud torch in his hand.

Camera switch.

It becomes a bird's-eye view from a high altitude.

Even in the noisy airport, you can still hear the cheers coming from the TV.

This lively scene.

It makes people yearn for it just by looking at it.

"boss."

"Ah."

After pulling the mask for a while, Li Luo smiled and nodded.

"Which station are you running to?"

Zhao Xuejing asked quickly.

Li Luo's smile became even more intense.

"Wow~"

The two assistants exclaimed in admiration at the same time, with a hint of admiration in their eyes.

Can join the Olympic Torch Relay.

When he received the phone call, Li Luo cheered excitedly. This was a national event, and even public figures couldn't just go there whenever they wanted, especially at the most important Beijing stop.

08 Olympic Games.

It contains extraordinary meaning.

It not only fully demonstrates the country's culture and strength, but also sends out the roar of dragons and tigers that has lasted for five thousand years to the world despite all kinds of pressure.

The news about the torch relay has come to an end.

The TV was reporting on the release status of "The Forbidden Kingdom".

This movie is the first collaboration between two kung fu superstars and has also received extremely widespread attention.

Its cast.

Fang Long, Li Lianjie, Liu Qianqian, Li Bingbing, each of them is either an internationally renowned superstar or a rising star with great audience appeal.

There is no lack of box office appeal.

There is no lack of acting skills.

There is no shortage of beautiful actresses.

The overwhelming publicity and extremely high attention have produced extremely beautiful fruits.

The box office revenue in the first four days exceeded 80 million.

As for why it is gorgeous.

Rather than sweet.

Although no specific box office data has been released, Huayi has not updated any relevant data since it announced that the first week box office had exceeded 80 million.

As an industry insider.

Li Luo easily judged that Huayi was definitely in trouble!According to the usual practice of the publicity and distribution company, if the company is making rapid progress, the achievements will definitely be reported continuously.

Now that it’s broken.

It's normal that this movie didn't perform well at the domestic box office, because it was made for the overseas market. To put it simply, it's a white loser's travel story in the East, where he leads two peerless oriental masters to defeat the villain.

Thus, he became the savior and won the favor of the oriental beauty.

There are countless Hollywood movies with similar plots.

The story is old-fashioned to the point of being stereotyped.

The TV screen flickered, and Liu Qianqian's figure fighting in the peach blossom forest appeared.

Li Luo narrowed his eyes.

Carefully observe each other's movements.

Compared to the time when she was filming The Return of the Condor Heroes, Liu Qianqian's movements are quite crisp and she fights in very realistic manner.

"boss."

Looking around at the growing crowd of people gathering around her, Liu Wan urged them in a low voice. Although she was wearing a mask, her boss's height and demeanor were still very eye-catching.

If people found out that Xu Wenqiang was here, there would be a riot.

At the other party's reminder.

They found Sun Jie who was waiting there early in the parking lot, and then they loaded their bags into the business car and drove to the crew hotel.

In the movie "Ip Man", Li Luo enjoyed big-name treatment.

With film pay and cash.

In exchange for 30% of the film's share.

For producers, this is also a routine operation to reduce risks.

Want actors to join.

But what should I do if the pay is too high and I can’t afford it?

easy to do.

Selling shares can not only reduce financial pressure, but also exchange some production funds from the actors, and finally force the other party to take the play seriously, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

Of course, the actors have to be willing to do it. Not everyone is willing to take this risk.

For example, Jet Li.

When Huang Baiming approached the other party, he had offered a share plan, but the other party simply refused to accept it. He said, "If you give me 100 million yuan, I will act with you, and you will bear the risk yourself. There is no need to discuss anything else."

As co-producer.

Li Luo asked Sun Jie, the manager of the film and television production department, to take on the position of producer and oversee all expenses of the crew.

I spent part of the money here.

You have to find someone to keep an eye on it.

Li Luo nodded repeatedly and opened the newspaper beside him.

His eyebrows raised.

There were only a few photos published in the newspaper. They were very blurry, but I could still vaguely make out that the person standing behind the car was Jane Zhang, and that this little fan girl of mine was arguing with her agent about something.

Then the man with glasses drove away alone.

It's unclear what happened, but that didn't stop entertainment reporters from gossiping about it.

Something like a mysterious man and a late-night romance.

All kinds of guesses.

Scratching the blurry photo with his fingers, Li Luo roughly guessed what had happened. He shook his head and smiled, then turned the newspaper to another page.

After passing Shengqiang Film and Television Base, we headed straight to the nearby crew hotel.

Li Luo has been to this film and television base twice. The first time was to visit Xiaopang on the set, and the second time was to visit the set some time ago. It is about ten kilometers away from the familiar Chedun Film and Television Base.

Unlike the latter, Shengqiang Film and Television Base is not open to the public, and tourists are not allowed to enter under normal circumstances.

At that time, there will not be a situation where filming is happening here while fans are screaming there.

At the main entrance of the hotel, Huang Baiming, wearing glasses, was standing there with a smile, waiting for his partners and the male lead to arrive.

Li Luo asked Sun Jie to stop the car, and he opened the door and jumped out.

He stretched out his hand from a few meters away.

Face is given to each other. Just because others are polite doesn't mean you can take advantage of them.

Warm greetings were exchanged.

Led by Huang Baiming, Li Luo followed the other party straight to the elevator.

As for the luggage.

That was not his concern at all.

In other words, more money can be spent on production.

There is sufficient funding.

The crew naturally does things in a grand manner.

Huang Baiming booked three floors of the entire hotel for use by the front and backstage staff.

Under the leadership of Huang Baiming, we move forward.

"remember."

"You play a character who is a little treacherous, but you don't think you're wrong. You're just an ordinary person trying to survive in troubled times, to eat and feed your family."

"The characters are complex, very complex, and I hope you can study the script carefully."

"I understand, Director."

There came a reply, and the voice sounded quite familiar.

"Arlene, you have the heaviest task."

Ye Weixin continued, saying with some seriousness: "You and Luo Ge have a lot of rival scenes. Don't think that he is just an action actor. Luo Ge's literary scenes are also very good."

“Try to get into the state as soon as possible.”

"Ok."

This time, it was a woman who answered Ye Weixin. Her voice was crisp and sounded equally familiar.

"cough~"

The smoke swirled in the sunlight that slanted in through the windows.

On the table was a glass jar full of cigarette butts, tea, coffee, and scripts were randomly placed together, and on the wall were various photos and draft drawings, and several people inside were obviously studying the script.

Before starting up.

There are always various meetings.

"Boss Huang, Brother Luo."

The people in the room stood up quickly.

A smile bloomed.

"Brother Hua."

"Pick~"

Ren Dahua pushed him away and raised his hand in annoyance, saying: "You are an idiot, but I am a gentleman this time. If you want to fight, there are big guys to fight with you!"

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Hold each other's hands and give each other a happy hug.

We had a very pleasant collaboration on "SPL" before, and it is of course a happy thing to work with old acquaintances again. We know each other well, which saves a lot of energy on running-in.

"Brother Luo."

When the two separated, the middle-aged man next to them quickly extended his hand and said in rather labored Mandarin: "I am actor Lin Jiadong. I am very happy to have the opportunity to work with you. Please give me your guidance."

"Brother Dongguan!"

"Uh~"

Lin Jiadong looked confused.

The other party is not only a very popular actor in mainland China, but also the owner and producer of a film and television company. He has achieved such success at the age of only 20-something, so I wonder how difficult his personality must be in private.

to be frank.

But I never expected that such a series of words would pop out.

"Hey!"

Ren Dahua held up his cigarette in dissatisfaction and squinted at Li Luo: "You said in front of me that you voted for Dongguanzi, do you think that I didn't get it?"

"Hahaha."

This caused Lynn Hung to cover her mouth.

Her eyes curved into crescents from smiling.

"Brother Jiadong."

Li Luo smiled and shook Lin Jiadong's hand, and said hello politely: "It's a pleasure to work with you. We can learn from each other."

Unexpectedly, Li Luo was so easy to talk to. Lin Jiadong was relieved: "Just call me Jiadong."

This actor who made his mark in TVB actually had very ordinary looks, but he worked hard year after year and in one drama after another, and finally won the Best Actor trophy at the Academy Awards.

He is a good actor who can stay calm and take steady steps.

The other party played Li Zhao in "Ip Man". He was a patrolman in the early stage and a Japanese army translator in the later stage.

But the character portrait is quite complex and it is difficult to play it well.

When I was watching "Ip Man" at that time.

Li Luo was deeply impressed by the translator played by Lin Jiadong, who was struggling on the edge of right and wrong.

Under the gaze of everyone, Li Luo smiled and shook hands with Lynn Hung, who greeted him with great joy. For Lynn Hung, the pressure of joining this crew was enormous.

She was a model.

I haven't acted in any plays.

Facing a team composed entirely of people from Hong Kong Island, it was extremely difficult for a mainlander who had never proven his strength to make any progress.

Most people would not take the so-called prospective superstar's wife seriously.

Look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face.

Forget about being the wife of a superstar, Lynn Hung can’t even be called his girlfriend, so many people are only polite to her on the surface, and there is a lot of gossip behind her back.

This is the case.

Of course, Lynn Hung knows this very well.

This familiar look.

This immediately surprised the others.

Especially Ren Dahua and Ye Weixin, their preparations to act as peacemakers were in vain!

They invited each other to sit down.

However, Li Luo did not stay for too long. He soon said goodbye to Huang Baiming and left, heading straight for the hotel's gym. Before he got close, he heard a lot of noise and the sound of things being thrown around.

A turn of steps.

I saw that the huge gym was bustling with activity.

Some were dancing with guns and sticks, some were playing with fitness equipment, some were showing off their skills to each other, combining southern boxing and northern kicking, and hitting wooden dummies with loud clacking sounds.

Hong Xibao, sweating profusely, sat on the sofa chair, quenching his thirst with a purple clay teapot.

From time to time, he shouted to the crowd.

Li Luo saw Huang Baiming walk in with a smile on his face.

Hong Yubao laughed out loud.

Amid a series of Luo Ge’s shouts.

These muscular men, smelling of sweat, introduced themselves one after another.

The reason why the action movie "Ip Man" became a benchmark for the time was not only because the protagonists fought well, but also because the supporting actors were equally outstanding. They could be described as a gathering of martial artists.

Shi Xingyu plays the role of martial arts fanatic Lin in the play.

Fan Shaohuang.

Play the role of Jinshan.

The other party comes from a family of martial arts and has been practicing various martial arts since childhood.

In the 97 version of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", he played the honest and simple bald Xu Zhu. His qualifications and abilities were top-notch, but in Li Luo's memory, he was most impressed by the role of Li Wang played by him.

Master Liao was beaten by Ip Man behind closed doors.

Proficient in Shaobei Fist.

From the martial arts team brought in by Hong Yubao to these actors, almost everyone has a few unique skills, and their fists are harder than each other.

Even those who don't have any martial arts background should try their best to keep up with the pace.

When the other party greets you.

The words "Oh hey yo, it's really Imas" almost made Li Luo unable to react.

Although it's just a follow-up.

But Huang Baiming's plan was not vague at all.

Action and kung fu movies are actually made every year, and actors fight each other every day at major film and television bases.

"Ip Man" stands out from the crowd.

In fact, it is inseparable from the careful preparation of the producers.

It goes around in circles like this.

After all, he is a co-producer.

You can hide your face during the preparation period, but you can’t hide your face all the time.

The first day in the group.

Li Luo was constantly familiarizing himself with the situation of the crew while busying around like this, making sure he knew everything as clearly as possible.

The vehicles borrowed from the crew drove along the tree-lined road, passing by exquisite small Western-style buildings.

It didn't take long.

Li Luo then saw the bald head shining brightly in the setting sun.

"Arlo."

As soon as the car door closed, their palms were tightly clasped together.

"Hey."

Looking at the bag in Li Luo's hand, Xu Zheng pretended to be unhappy: "I said coming here is like going home, why did you bring a gift? I don't have anything at home, why are you being so polite?"

"Hahaha."

"You can't do it if you don't want it."

"What is it?"

These words aroused Xu Zheng's interest.

"I'll keep you in suspense for now."

“Then you continue to sell.”

Xu Zheng shook his head and immediately asked him to go inside the house: "What's going on with the racing? Didn't Ning Hao say that the post-production has been completed? Why is there no movement from China Film Group?"

Now Xu Daguangtou seems to be in a career low point.

It's not just the TV series that has bad ratings.

As a result, his exposure also decreased a lot, which is not a good sign for any actor. Even though he has representative works, Xu Zheng couldn't help feeling nervous.

Works to be broadcast.

The film he has the highest hopes for is "Crazy Racing".

As long as the box office can explode successfully, all the gloom will dissipate.

"You want to compete with "CJ7"? "

Crossing the garden path, Li Luo walked up the small steps in front of the door with a smile: "I still want to compete with the Olympics for audiences. Anyway, I don't want these two things. Just wait. You should know the importance of finding a good time slot."

"Ah~"

Of course Xu Zheng understood, but he still couldn't help but sigh.

He shook his bald head again, raised his hand and opened the tall door: "Some things are more hasty than fast. I'm in for a treat today. I heard that you were coming over, so your sister-in-law asked someone to cook a lot of delicious dishes."

"Let's have a few drinks together, brothers."

"A Luo is here!"

Hearing the noise of someone coming in, Tao Hong quickly poked her head out of the kitchen.

To express a warm welcome.

Through the thin skirt, you can easily feel the graceful figure.

Li Luo felt hot inside, but he quickly let go and shook his head, saying, "Let me make it clear first, I called Brother Zheng the first thing I did after I got off the plane this time."

"Sister-in-law, you can't blame me for not saying hello like you did last time."

At Xu Zheng's invitation, Li Luo came to the living room and sat down.

Tao Hong took out the most expensive tea in the house and opened the exquisite tea set, busying herself happily. The aunt who cooked was busy in the kitchen, and she just went in to check the progress.

After some brewing.

The aroma of tea wafted through the living room.

Raising her hand to signal for the tea, Tao Hong asked curiously, "You are here to shoot a movie, right? What's your name? I saw the news on TV a while ago. How long do you expect the filming to take?"

Asking the time with shining eyes, she couldn't wait to blow on the tea in the cup.

He took a sip with a dry throat.

"Ip man."

"See if this gift suits your taste!"

"Ok?"

Xu Zheng put down the cup in confusion and opened the bag curiously.

At this time, the setting sun happened to shine in obliquely, illuminating the four big words "Lost on Journey" with a charming luster.
