Chapter 121: Filming an Advertisement

~15 min read 2,861 words

North Film Academy side gate.

Students walked past from time to time with light steps.

Wisps of white smoke rose from a barbecue stall in the distance, and the aroma drifted with the wind.

The light from the street lamp passed through the branches and leaves, leaving spots of different shapes on the body of a Cherokee. These spots were constantly trembling, but no one noticed this scene.

More than ten minutes later, the man sitting in the driver's seat gripped the steering wheel tightly.

He let out a heavy breath.

【Initially developed vehicle performance, still need to continue working hard】

【Indulgence successful】

【Reward: Acting experience +20】

Another while passed.

Jiang Yiyan put it back and smiled at Li Luo.

She returned to the back row and sat down properly.

"Swish~."

Li Luo reached out and pulled a few sheets of paper from the tissue box, handing them to the other party.

He couldn't help but feel a thousand emotions. He truly didn't understand why some actors could leave behind legends of being 'Roar Kings' at Hengdian. Mixing in this circle, such things still require spending money to solve!

He hadn't even said anything yet.

Others just wrapped themselves around him!

Where is the logic in that?

"Worthy of being Senior."

Wiping the corners of her mouth clean, Jiang Yiyan relaxed and leaned against the passenger seat, looking at Li Luo with a giggle: "Nothing about you is ordinary."

"It's alright."

Li Luo opened the armrest box and took out a high-end cigar he had just bought at the Wangfujing Department Store.

He dismantled the aluminum tube.

"Dong~"

The Dupont lighter made a crisp sound, and a small flame shot up.

With money now.

Naturally, one must add some items for enjoyment.

He wouldn't be stupid enough to only buy things for women; he himself couldn't be left behind.

"Will Senior think I'm a casual girl?"

Jiang Yiyan didn't wait for Li Luo to answer at all, immediately explaining to herself: "Actually, I've liked Senior for a long time. From the *Xiao Ao Jianghu* back then all the way to *Yi Tian Tu Long Ji*, I haven't missed a single episode."

"You don't know how happy I was today."

"When I saw Senior, my heart was beating faster than I can say."

"As long as I can be with you."

The little junior sister looked at Li Luo, who was smoking a cigar, her eyes dazed: "I'm willing to do anything, so Senior shouldn't have any pressure; just let me like you silently."

This is what a man is like. Those in school who pretend to be mature.

Are just little brats pretending to be sophisticated.

"Thank you, Junior Sister."

The cigar flickered, and puffs of smoke were exhaled. Li Luo turned back with a smile: "I also had a very happy time tonight. Actually, you don't have to be like this; it makes me feel a bit embarrassed."

When holding the back of the head, he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

These words of Jiang Yiyan.

The lethality is not just ordinary!

If someone with shallower cultivation came along, they would definitely be bewildered.

After a little fan girl said these words of admiration to him, who could care about how proactive she was just now? He was already secretly delighted!

Fortunately, Li Luo's cultivation was not shallow, and he was happy to be happy.

He was still as calm as a breeze.

"No need to be embarrassed, I'm willing."

Jiang Yiyan said crisply, and took out her phone again: "Senior, you shouldn't mind exchanging phone numbers with me, right? When we're free, the two of us can find a place to go running together."

"I'll also find a chance to wear this dress you bought for me and show it to you properly."

Although she intended to take the next step.

She still decided to slow down. The matter just now could be said to be a momentary impulse, but if they found a place for deep contact again, that would indeed seem too casual, and it also served to whet the other party's appetite.

Li Luo naturally wouldn't oppose such a request.

Jiang Yiyan quickly pushed the door and got out of the car. She waved at the Cherokee and bounced toward the school. It could be seen that she was in a good mood.

The smile on her face was bright.

Her whole person was like an innocent and romantic literary young woman.

It made passersby stop one after another. On a certain night in spring, this beautiful silhouette made many people's hearts ripple.

Li Luo bit the cigar.

Turned the steering wheel and drove into the nearby Beiying residential area.

Too lazy to go upstairs.

Staying in the car until he finished the cigar, he put on his mask and wandered toward the Huangtingzi residential area. A few minutes later, he arrived at the apartment Huang Shengyi and the others had just rented, took out the key and opened it.

Everyone is their own people; leaving a key is nothing more normal.

Listening to the movement in the room inside.

Li Luo's mood was stirred, and he carefully closed the door.

He threw his coat onto the sofa.

Unscrewing the whiskey he bought on the way and taking a gulp, he quietly arrived at the door of Huang Shengyi's room, his eyes shining brightly as he looked inside.

Bian Xiaoxiao was truly not wrong.

The two little maidens had set up a tofu stall and were doing their own little business.

Looking at the proficiency of their movements.

It was definitely not the first or second time!

Just from the scene he saw, it perfectly presented how the English letter X should be interpreted.

Li Luo raised the wine bottle.

And gulped down several large mouthfuls of the strong liquor.

Just now was an appetizer; what was inside was the proper big meal for the first night after returning from filming.

"Li Luo???"

The guy leaning against the door frame was finally noticed by Huang Shengyi. Her small face, which had already shed quite a bit of sweat, instantly flushed red. Like an ostrich, she stuck up her perky buttocks and buried her head in the quilt.

"Hahaha."

Li Luo looked up and laughed, imitating Uncle Tat in *A Chinese Odyssey* as he walked in with a square gait.

He cupped his hands in a bow, still reciting the lines from the movie.

"Hard work, my lady, grinding tofu."

"Hard work, hard work!"

【As the saying goes, among three people, there must be my teacher; learning should be tireless】

【Indulgence successful】

【Reward: Acting experience +30】

Li Luo remained unmoved. He had understood the system's reward mechanism clearly from the beginning; if repeated too many times in a short period, the intensity of the reward would slide downward.

But it didn't matter; this thirty points of experience reward successfully helped him break his acting attribute through to nine hundred.

Only one hundred left until advancing to the next stage!

No more thinking.

He continued to transform into a biscuit sandwich.

Working hard to celebrate the housewarming for the two little maidens!

After returning to the capital.

Wu Yu lay at home sleeping soundly for a whole day.

Then she made appointments with friends to eat and play all sorts of ways, finally dissipating the fatigue of a month. When the third day came, a sudden phone call interrupted her rest state.

The fourth day at dawn.

She hailed a taxi and headed straight for the Beiying residential area.

"Beep beep~"

Just after getting out of the car, she was pressed by the sound of a horn and turned her head. Seeing Li Luo sitting in the Cherokee, she hurriedly ran to the car.

"Brother Luo."

Sitting in the car, the little girl looked left and right: "Your car is really nice, truly handsome enough."

"How was your playing these few days?"

Li Luo shifted gears and drove toward the Chaoyang District direction.

"Very good, thank you Brother Luo."

Wu Yu looked at the familiar suitcase in the back and asked curiously: "What are we going to be busy with next?"

"Filming an advertisement."

Pressing down on the gas pedal, Li Luo increased the speed.

Now that there is work, it is only right and proper for him to call Wu Yu over.

There is a salary paid every day, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Bringing a life assistant is not only for work convenience, but also to have someone watch his things so strangers don't move them around at will.

Times are different now.

He is also considered to have a little fame; who knows what kind of things he might encounter.

The vehicle soon arrived at a creative park.

Everywhere were tall red-brick houses, looking just like an old-fashioned factory, yet there wasn't a trace of machine roaring; instead, there were many fashionably dressed trendsetters on the road.

Cameras and photographic equipment could be seen everywhere.

Looking at the numbers sprayed on the wall, Li Luo parked the car next to a factory building.

There are quite a few such places in the capital.

Renting out semi-abandoned, unused factory buildings at low prices to people engaged in cultural and creative work not only generates income but also sounds stylish; the 798 Art District is a representative among them.

Anta's photography work was being carried out in such a factory building.

Just closed the car door.

And saw a familiar face.

"Hello, Sister Lin."

Looking at Lin Yue, who was dressed like a strong career woman, Li Luo stepped forward and shook the other party's hand: "Sorry for the long wait."

The other party was wearing a professional suit and skirt as always.

Black silk stockings.

Short hair slightly curled, big waves.

Not right.

The last word cannot be determined. Lin Yue, wearing flaming red lips, was always in a serious manner.

Looking closely, she had a bit of the style of Chen Shuting in *The Knockout*.

The aura was very strong.

"I just arrived not long ago either." Lin Yue greeted him to walk together toward the factory building to the side: "After working overtime for a few days, the studio is finally built. It will be hard work for you next."

"It's only right."

Li Luo was naturally without the slightest hesitation.

The inside of the factory building was a world of its own, with the huge space divided into several areas.

Rest area, changing area, and work area.

The last area had the largest range; besides the pure white studio, there was also a temporarily built half-court basketball court, a track, a sandpit, and various sports equipment.

Although he is not a professional athlete.

Anta is a sports brand after all, so he still had to show a corresponding sports posture.

Outside the changing area, various Anta clothing hung densely.

Shoe boxes were also piled into a small mountain.

These were all things he would have to wear next.

Under Lin Yue's introduction, photography staff, makeup artists, sports instructors, and Anta staff stepped forward one after another to greet Li Luo. Don't look at it as just filming an advertisement; there were still more than ten people gathered here.

After getting to know each other, everyone began to communicate about the subsequent filming process.

The so-called communication was actually explaining to Li Luo how to film and what kind of effect they wanted to present.

And he.

Was responsible for bringing out those effects.

The content of the video advertisement was Li Luo continuously switching between doing all kinds of sports, and then inserting the advertising slogan. There was no story to speak of; it was completely a display film.

Half an hour later.

Li Luo, having finished his warm-up exercises, began to prepare for the first group of filming.

Taking the basketball shoes and sportswear handed over by the Anta staff, he walked into the simply enclosed changing room. Wu Yu stood outside guarding as usual; her job was not to let anyone go in at this time.

Not long after, Li Luo walked out from inside.

Making Lin Yue's eyes light up.

Not to mention that he was tall and handsome, his build was also extremely sturdy.

The muscle lines on his arms and legs were obvious.

Full of sports style.

In a trance, she seemed to see Rukawa Kaede from *Slam Dunk* walking step by step from the animation into reality. Not to mention anything else, she was extremely satisfied with this appearance.

After changing clothes, Li Luo went to the open makeup room to the side to touch up his makeup.

Even if one's personal foundation is good.

One still needs to put on a bit of light makeup, otherwise the effect filmed by the lens won't look good.

Everything was ready.

Li Luo clapped his hands toward the sports consultant:

"Teacher, I'm ready."

To be honest, the sports consultant invited from the Sports University was having a headache about taking this job.

Hearing that he was to correct the sports posture for an actor, he first thought of those sissy guys on TV, and for this, he had already prepared for a difficult challenge.

Now looking at Li Luo's build, his expression was very satisfied:

"Have you played basketball?"

"A little bit."

Li Luo took the ball and walked toward the basketball court to the side with a leisurely pace.

Small steps turned into big steps.

The step frequency of stepping on the ground accelerated. He grabbed the basketball in his hand and transformed into a red lightning bolt rushing forward.

"Bang~"

One foot stepped heavily on the ground.

The calf muscles suddenly swelled by a circle. Under the effect of this force, his whole person leaped into the air.

Holding the ball with one hand, he pulled it high backward.

The jersey fluttered along.

Under the gaze of all the staff in the venue, Li Luo flew a short distance, then slashed his single arm down with force, and the basketball slammed into the rim.

"Boom!!!"

This loud sound.

Echoed continuously throughout the factory building.

Everyone's heart jumped violently, and their jaws dropped to the ground.

"Dong, dong, dong."

The basketball that landed bounced and jumped toward the corner.

"Is that alright?"

Li Luo landed easily and turned back to show his white teeth to Lin Yue.

No one noticed that the corners of his eyes were twitching slightly.

Handsome is handsome.

But slamming it up really hurts like hell!

No wonder those players would roar after a forceful dunk.

Some are excitement.

Some are probably purely because it hurts.

"Plop."

Lin Yue's coffee fell by accident.

Splashing all over the ground.

Including the sports consultant, everyone in the studio looked at Li Luo foolishly. This is what you call 'a little bit'? Then what would you call 'knowing how to play'!!!

Even the sports consultant from the Sports University licked his lips.

Dunking, it's not that he can't.

But he definitely couldn't do it so gracefully, elegantly, and full of power.

A forced dunk and an easy dunk are two completely different things. The jumping ability displayed is also too astonishing!

"Someone come and clean up."

Lin Yue calmed her heartbeat, and she shook off the coffee stains on her feet.

She couldn't help but aim at Li Luo.

Even if youth has passed and memories have become silent.

But Li Luo's action just now made her youthful memories instantly revive. The scene of cheering for her sweetheart on the school basketball court back then emerged in her mind like a volcanic eruption.

Heart-pounding.

These four words are enough to describe Lin Yue's mood at this moment.

On the basketball court.

Li Luo took the ball thrown back by the staff and dribbled it on the spot casually.

Actually, his level is really average.

Belonging to the kind that shoots wildly.

But he couldn't help that his physical fitness was strong now, so dunking was still quite easy for him.

Li Luo dribbled the basketball a few times, and it was seen by the sports consultant that he was indeed at the level of playing streetball, and his movements were quite irregular. After steadying his mind, he hurriedly stepped forward to correct his posture.

He didn't ask for him to play well, but the stance must be beautiful.

Under the other party's guidance.

Li Luo repeated the movements over and over again.

After preparing almost enough, his first advertisement filming finally began.

Different from filming.

Filming is mainly about the emotions expressed.

As long as the emotions are expressed in place and drive the audience's emotions, it is considered a success.

Filming an advertisement naturally also requires investing energy, but it pays more attention to expressing that external feeling, which was a brand-new experience for Li Luo.

Under the photographer's direction.

His figure moved continuously on the basketball court, continuously presenting scene after scene of static and dynamic images.

Unknowingly, sweat broke out on his body.

The photographer didn't call stop either; what he wanted was that feeling of sports. ===== CHAPTER 122 =====
