Huayu, can you be called the best actor if you don’t indulge yourself?
Chapter 483 Big ThiefChapter 483 Big Thief
When my sister-in-law heard that the filming would take more than two months, her thighs couldn't help but tremble.
The mouth and tongue begin to produce saliva quickly.
She quickly folded her legs and looked at Xu Zheng curiously. She didn't know what gift Li Luo brought, but it made Xu Zheng's eyes go wide and his expression was full of surprise.
"This is this?"
Xu Zheng pressed his fingers hard on the script and looked intently at Li Luo.
The latter smiled and nodded.
It's not that Xu Zheng can't even recognize the script, but his career low period is no joke. Although he has reasons for being picky about scripts, it is an indisputable fact that the opportunities that come his way have decreased dramatically.
I didn't expect the opportunity to come so suddenly.
That's why I'm so excited.
No matter what script Li Luo brought, at least there were multiple choices.
To be honest, when he chose to make friends with Li Luo, wasn't it just for this opportunity?I didn’t expect that just after finishing filming “Crazy Racing”, I received another script.
As expected of a good brother.
That’s really nice.
Xu Zheng nodded gratefully to Li Luo, and then couldn't wait to take out the thick script. Although the name was quite strange, it did not stop him from carefully opening it.
I saw it was a script.
Tao Hong suddenly understood.
She immediately cast a grateful look towards Li Luo. Although they were each pursuing their own happiness, they were still sleeping in the same bed, so of course there was affection between them.
She also noticed Xu Zheng's anxiety during this period.
It is like timely help now.
Next, Tao Hong and Li Luo chatted in low voices, there were constant sounds of frying and stir-frying in the kitchen, and Xu Zheng kept flipping through the script spread out on the coffee table, scratching his bald head when he was excited.
The sound of hehe laughter continued to ring out from him.
Tao Hong was confused when she heard this.
I also realized that Lao Xu must be very satisfied with the script, otherwise he would not have such a reaction.
As a senior film and television person.
Xu Zheng's imagination far surpassed Lin Yue's. The latter's words, which seemed a bit boring at the time, now flashed vivid pictures in Xu Zheng's mind, which made him feel very excited.
The interesting plots made him laugh continuously.
The script is tens of thousands of words.
If you just glance over it, you can finish it quickly.
When Xu Zheng turned to the last page, he instantly realized that this was definitely a good story.
Funny, heartwarming, and full of twists.
Nothing is missing.
At the very least it's a very good comedy story.
Excited.
He flipped back quickly.
Just one minute later, Xu Zheng closed the script and pointed at the strange word: "How do you pronounce this?"
"Jiǒng."
Li Luo cracked a melon seed in his mouth and explained with a smile: "It's an internet word, which means depressed, helpless, embarrassed, etc. Just think of this word as a human face and you can experience that feeling!"
"Hey."
Squinting his eyes, Xu Zheng slapped his thigh happily and said, "It's really interesting and quite appropriate."
“Who wrote this script?”
"Fun! The plot is very interesting."
"Although the coincidences are a bit abrupt, the story is basically driven by Niu Geng's bad mouth, and the narrative structure is similar to that of a crosstalk sketch. The plot about the female liar is a bit too sensational."
"cough~"
Li Luo coughed lightly and threw the melon seed shells into the ashtray.
"But then again."
Xu Zheng did not hesitate at all and quickly changed the subject: "There is no problem with the story structure. Comedy films are ultimately just for the sake of having fun, and many scripts cannot do this alone."
"The person who wrote this book is definitely a great talent in the industry. Brother Luo, you must introduce him to me."
"Okay, okay."
Li Luo twitched his lips, and continued to crack melon seeds and said, "It is indeed a bit sentimental, but I considered making the character of Niu Geng more vivid. The sentence 'If he was cheated, it means he is not sick' reflects this point."
"People like Niu Geng hardly exist, so it's just sensationalism."
"Yeah."
Xu Zheng chuckled and raised his thumb high: "Our Luo Ge is amazing, there's nothing wrong with being a big shot in the industry!"
Then I realized that the script was written by Li Luo.
While he was secretly surprised, his praise became genuine.
Directing, acting and editing all in one.
Only experts know how difficult this is. At the very least, the energy required is definitely different from that of ordinary people, and the nerves are also extremely strong. Ordinary people simply cannot withstand that kind of pressure.
Others can pass on the blame.
Where can you put the movie you wrote, directed and acted in yourself?
"what?"
Tao Hong finally came to her senses, her voice trembling with excitement. She didn't expect that Li Luo had written another script. If she remembered correctly, the script he wrote last time directly broke into the billion-dollar director club.
Gulp swallowed her saliva and asked excitedly, "Action movie? Ah Luo, are you looking for our Lao Xu to film an action scene?"
"Uh~"
Looking at Xu Zheng's figure, she also realized how unreliable this idea was.
"comedy."
Xu Zheng interrupted her and looked at Li Luo uncertainly: "Brother Luo, are you planning to let me play, um, a bus driver, or the manager of a dairy farm?"
Other people's play.
The other party must be playing the leading role.
The role of Niu Geng is not suitable for me at all. After much thought, these two roles are the most suitable for me.
Although the role is smaller, it is not very challenging to act.
But it’s better than nothing.
Besides, Li Luo specifically brought the notebook over, so it would be very rude to turn it down!"you"
Li Luo bit into the melon seeds and said with a smile: "If I asked you to play those two supporting roles, would I have to bring the scripts here? It's not like I have nothing to do!"
Tao Hong rolled her eyes at the vulgar words.
Xu Zheng was completely stunned.
Not bus drivers and dairy farmers.
That."Li Chenggong."
Li Luo revealed the answer directly, shaking his melon seed shell and saying, "This play has two male protagonists. You play Li Chenggong, Wang Baoqiang plays Niu Geng, and I will be the director. By the way, I saw that you were quite interested in directing."
"How about being an assistant director at the same time?"
The role of Li Chenggong is not very suitable for me. It's not that I can't play the image of a middle-aged man who is mean, ungrateful and a bit unlucky.
But if there are better candidates, there is no need to force the performance!Xu Zheng is a smart guy.
It can be seen from his subsequent behavior that profit is the top priority, but it must be said that he is a good actor, and he has a very strong chemistry with Wang Baoqiang, making them an excellent screen partner.
So Li Luo never thought about acting himself.
Putting the right people in the right positions is what he does.
The light words stunned the couple.
When he heard that he was asked to play the role of Li Chenggong, Xu Zheng's originally fair face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. After swallowing his saliva, the big bald head almost jumped up from the sofa.
He excitedly opened the wine cabinet.
He pulled out a bottle of Chivas Regal that he had treasured for a long time from the innermost part.
"No more!"
Unscrewing the bottle cap deftly, Xu Zheng motioned Tao Hong to bring the cup over: "Don't go home until you're drunk tonight. What's the point of going home? Stay here tonight and let's chat about the script to our heart's content."
The latter was equally excited and immediately brought over three crystal glasses.
The leading actor of the movie.
It’s not like Xu Zheng hasn’t been in that position before.
Last year, a romantic comedy movie starring him called "Love Call Transfer" was released. It also gathered various beautiful women and was a real screen cool movie.
It’s a pity that the box office was crushed by “The Disciples” starring Fan Bingbing.
In the end, it only earned more than 30 million in box office revenue.
Not bad.
But it’s not that good either.
In addition, the performance of the movies he starred in was mediocre, otherwise there would not be any low point in his life. Now Li Luo actually brought the male lead to find him, I can’t tell you how excited I was!
It's like pie in the sky.
"Don't bother me."
Li Luo waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "I came here today just to visit you and talk about this matter. I won't drink any more wine. I have to go back to the crew to try on my makeup after dinner."
"It's not good to drive after drinking."
"If it's not good, then don't open it."
Xu Zheng poured the amber liquor into the glass swiftly, shook his head and said, "I'll let my sister-in-law drive you home later. Don't hide your alcohol tolerance. Finishing this bottle won't delay your makeup trial."
"Come on, come on, what are your thoughts on writing the script?"
"correct."
"Don't talk to me about pay."
"Just talking about a coin, Brother Xu, I am getting mad at you!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Da Guangtou excitedly placed half a cup of Chivas in front of Li Luo, who was laughing in silence.
Utilitarianism is correct.
But it also proves that he is quite capable of handling things.
Compared with the leading actor + assistant director, Xu Zheng himself is embarrassed to mention the word "remuneration". Opportunities and experience are not always available.
What he lacks now is not money.
As long as you can act to become famous, there will be no shortage of opportunities to make money.
With Tao Hong's enthusiastic arrangement, Li Luo shook his head and smiled, clinking glasses with Xu Zheng, sipping the expensive wine, and tasting authentic Shanghai dishes. They discussed the movie one sentence at a time.
Since you let the other party be the assistant director.
Then the ideas must be communicated thoroughly.
After answering these questions one by one, Xu Zheng felt inexplicably refreshed, as if some of the plots were deduced according to his own ideas. This guy felt that great minds think alike.
He was so excited that he kept toasting.
After the dinner was over, the drunk Xu Zheng sent Li Luo out the door.
He couldn't wait to return to the house until the vehicle drove away.
By being drunk.
Continue to read the script happily.
On the return vehicle.
Li Luo bit the cigar and pulled open his collar, looking at the gradually lit lights in Shanghai, and let the evening breeze dispel the drunkenness.
But the steering wheel in Tao Hong's hand suddenly turned.
It directly deviated from the main road and whizzed into the parking lot of a shopping mall.
"sister in law?"
As the car circled upward, Li Luo looked at Tao Hong in confusion: "Are you going to buy something?"
"Ah."
Tao Hong pressed the accelerator a little more, making the car go faster: "Some things have been missing for a long time, I have to make up for it quickly, otherwise I don't know when I will have time."
The tires spun quickly in the parking lot.
After finding an extremely remote corner, my sister-in-law quickly turned the steering wheel.
The vehicle drove into the parking space and stopped steadily.
"Crack~"
The seat belt popped open.
Before Li Luo could react, the human peach with a faint scent of perfume came at him at lightning speed, and the floral short skirt fluttered in the narrow passenger seat.
"Hmph~~~"
That’s not all. Just sitting on his solid thighs made Tao Hong snort in satisfaction.
Those strong muscles instantly reminded her of wonderful moments.
After this action, the floral skirt became messy and loose.
Beautiful scenery.
It immediately caught Li Luo's eyes.
"sister in law."
Feeling the other's full and elastic buttocks, and looking at the white and tender breasts so close, Li Luo dropped the cigar that was stretched out of the window: "What are you doing?"
"Shut up!!!"
When the cigar rolled to the ground and created a ball of sparks, Tao Hong quickly covered his mouth.
"Don't be Ji. Aunt Ji."
Li Luo dodged with his mouth, and held the other's full breasts firmly with both hands to show his resistance: "What are you doing, Wuji is not that kind of person, help me, it's indecent!!!"
"You bastard~~~"
Tao Hong was so angry that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She gritted her teeth and pulled at his waistband: "Today, I, a female hero, will represent all the righteous martial arts sects to suppress you, the leader of the evil sect!"
"Let you."
Seeing the terrifying Holy Fire Order, Miss Ji Xiaofu's strength was immediately drained, but she still rushed forward with all her might: "Let you, a thief, a big thief, go around harming people in the martial arts world~~~"
With a trembling tone.
Extremely dangerous close combat suddenly broke out in the parking lot.
The sudden change caused the journey, which should have taken about an hour, to take nearly two hours.
Hurry and hurry.
Li Luo finally made it back to the hotel before the makeup trial began.
After saying goodbye to his sister-in-law who got into the taxi with weak legs, he went back to his room, quickly washed up, and went straight to the hotel's dressing room.
The male lead’s makeup is finalized.
Naturally, it was a gathering of senior executives.
Wong Pak Ming, Ye Wei Xin, Sun Jie and others were waiting inside early. Of course, Lynn Hung was also there to cooperate with Li Luo in taking promotional photos. The latter was quite accustomed to such occasions.
A model!Things like taking photos are old-fashioned.
"Sorry, sorry."
Li Luo walked into the dressing room with his hands cupped. "My friend was too enthusiastic just now, so it took some time. I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
Actually I wasn't late, I got here on time.
But with so many people waiting, I still have to say a few polite words.
"We just arrived."
Ye Weixin waved his hand and put out his cigarette with a smile: "I don't know how long we will be busy tonight, Luo Ge, why don't we hurry up?"
Although he would rather work with Zhen Ziluan.
But in this situation, it is obvious that the boss favors Li Luo more.
As a laborer.
Ye Weixin is very conscious of his work.
The person who pays the money speaks the loudest, so just cooperate.
Moreover, everyone had a very pleasant cooperation when filming "SPL". Although "Flash Point" was defeated by "Raging Fire" directed by Li Luo, it did not affect everyone's personal relationship.
He didn't feel any resistance.
From calling him A'Luo to Luo Ge, Ye Weixin called him very naturally.
I didn't feel anything awkward.
This is how the industry works. If a play becomes popular, it can bring about earth-shaking changes to the actors' situation. Their income and status can rise rapidly. Otherwise, people wouldn't flock to it.
Li Luo had already laid an extremely solid foundation before filming "SPL", and his representative works are not just one or two.
Now he's a producer again.
So when Ye Weixin called him Luo Ge, he absolutely accepted it calmly.
Nod to everyone.
Li Luo sat down in front of the dressing table safely.
Ye Weixin and the stylist walked quickly forward, and the two of them gestured at the plan that had been decided long ago. The scissors fell with a click, causing wisps of black hair to fall off.
Regarding the image of the protagonist, Ye Weixin wanted to create a more gentle and low-key feeling.
Then Li Luo’s flamboyant hairstyle is not very suitable.
After some pruning.
He just had an ordinary buzz cut.
The next step is to change clothes. The costume designer takes out the items that had been prepared earlier, such as the thousand-layer cloth shoes, the long gown and jacket, the black trousers and white training clothes, which are mainly made of silk and cloth.
The level of director Ye Weixin is quite good.
The details are well done.
In the early stage, the clothes worn by Ip Man's family were of high-quality, and their food and drink were first-class. In the later stage, they just ate sweet potatoes and wore cloth robes. These inconspicuous details can bring a strong sense of immersion to the audience.
After the movie "Ip Man" became a hit, many follow-up works emerged.
But they are all far behind.
In the final analysis, it is about precisely controlling every detail and striving to make the movie present the texture it should have.
Wait until Li Luo walked out of the locker room wearing a silk robe.
Huang Baiming's eyes lit up.
Sometimes, whether the project will succeed or not can be determined simply by looking at where the protagonist stands.
Li Luo's upright figure even reminded Huang Baiming of the young Jet Li. The Kung Fu Emperor was in the same state back then. Wearing a long gown and a jacket, even if he did nothing, his demeanor was extraordinary.
The excellent appearance brings about terrifying box office appeal.
There is no way to envy this thing.
He is just handsome, no one can do anything to him!This look also made Xiong Dailin's eyes flash with surprise. She didn't expect that Li Luo would be so serious after putting on makeup. The charm he displayed was no less than that of Aaron Kwok, and even slightly better.
After all, no matter how well Aaron Kwok takes care of himself, he is already in his forties and has entered middle age.
Nothing can compare to the prime of life in your twenties.
Their eyes happened to meet.
Li Luo blinked quickly at Xiong Dailin.
The latter's earlobe instantly turned a rouge-like color and he hurriedly looked away.
"good."
Ye Weixin gave a thumbs up and circled around Li Luo twice: "Brother Luo, you look first-rate in both ancient and modern costumes, but your age should not be a problem for you to act with Dai Lin."
"But now looking at it this way, it seems a little too young."
"Make the skin tone darker!"
In fact, Lynn Hung is not very old, and because she takes good care of herself, she looks very fresh and youthful.
But Li Luo's physical fitness continued to improve.
It feels like growing older.
In addition, he has been hiding in the editing room for a long time and has no time to tan his skin, so his skin condition is better than that of Lynn Hung. If he does not adjust it, it will appear a little unbalanced.
A person who practices martial arts.
There still has to be a sense of fortitude.
"no problem."
The makeup artist started working, and after some thought, he carefully applied the makeup on Li Luo's face.
Lynn Hung was also not idle.
He quickly got up and changed his clothes.
The two are a husband and wife pair in the play and need to shoot some posters together for later promotion.
Looked at her back.
Huang Baiming quickly withdrew his gaze.
In addition to the efforts of her agency, choosing Lynn Hung to play the leading female role was actually a perfect match. Although it has not been publicly acknowledged, the scandal between her and Aaron Kwok has become a hot topic.
It has attracted attention not only in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but also in the mainland.
What does high attention mean?
He knows it very well.
This is an age where even good wine needs to be hidden if it is not well known. Having a highly-anticipated leading actress can not only save a lot of publicity and promotion costs, but also greatly boost the box office in the later stages. It is enough as long as her acting skills are acceptable.
Huang Baiming looked at Li Luo with strange eyes again.
I was secretly calculating in my mind.
Superstar, supermodel, rising star.
If there was a big scandal about two men fighting for one woman, the box office would probably explode!!!
Think of this.
Huang Baiming swallowed hard.
Wait until Li Luo finishes putting on makeup.
Lynn Hung also put on a simple cheongsam and walked out of the dressing room. The cheongsam outlined her body curves and her graceful figure attracted many passionate gazes.
This included Li Luo. This was the first time he saw him with makeup on.
The king's vision is really amazing.
Xiong Dailin is almost 1.8 meters tall. Her slender figure and the body skills she has honed as a model make her charming and elegant in every move.
Seeing the waist and hips swaying gently in front of him, Li Luo secretly gave the other person a thumbs up.
In fact.
Don’t think that this is Xiong Dailin’s first time acting.
But in the movie "Ip Man", she delivered an extremely impressive report card. Her acting skills were basically acceptable and her figure was charming, which left a very deep impression on Li Luo at that time.
Also for this reason.
That was why he didn't ask Wong Pak Ming to replace the role of Lynn Hung.
I noticed that Li Luo was staring at me.
Xiong Dailin felt inexplicably proud in her heart, then she twisted her waist calmly and sat down next to him, signaling the stylist to start tying her hair.
After a busy period, the two finally successfully completed their makeup.
Then we came to the photography area next door.
There are quite a lot of props used for filming. Various antique screens, chairs and other objects are placed next to each other, and there is also a polished wooden man. This is where we will basically spend the night.
"Yes, the screen is set up."
"bench."
"Okay, please have the two actors sit over there. Luo Ge should be more aggressive, and Dai Lin should smile with her mouth closed. I want that feeling of a lady from a noble family."
Under the command of Ye Weixin.
Li Luo and Lynn Hung came and sat in front of an elegant screen.
Other staff members brought in antique shelves and vases, and placed colorful artificial flowers on them one after another.
This makes the whole picture more layered.
"Arlo."
Pursing his lips, Huang Baiming decisively gave instructions: "Why are you sitting so far away? Don't forget that you two are husband and wife now. Get closer, yes, closer."
"Dalin, put your hand on Luo Ge's thigh."
"Arlo."
"Cover her hand!"
Under Huang Baiming's constant command, the two sat closer and closer until their bodies touched each other. Xiong Dailin smiled at Li Luo embarrassedly, and then put her slender fingers on his thigh.
I haven’t made any movies, but I have made quite a few music videos.
It stands to reason.
She won't be nervous.
However, feeling the heat radiating from the muscles through the thin clothing, Xiong Dailin still had a hint of panic in her eyes.
But I noticed a dozen staff members around.
She took a deep breath.
Quickly gather your mind.
As Li Luo held Xiong Dailin's slightly cold hand, the two of them looked at the camera not far away with a smile.
A classical beauty in cheongsam and a man in a long robe sitting majestically.
Each has its own charm.
As the spotlight flashes.
The first official still from the Ip Man crew was captured on the screen.
