Chapter 151: The War of Words Begins
He had thought.
It was to ask about his new drama.
Now hearing the name Li Luo, the smile on Li Erpeng's face instantly faded.
What popular segment, he hadn't watched it at all.
And he was too lazy to watch it.
Hearing that person's name made him feel annoyed.
When filming *Laughing in the Wind*, instead of promoting himself, the male lead, they went to promote a little kid who was unknown, which made him so angry at the time that he couldn't control his temper and smashed a cup.
Then, relying on his ability to play with a sword, he stole his limelight in the crew in various ways.
Is it amazing not to use a stunt double?
After *Laughing in the Wind* aired, as the male lead of such a big crew for the first time, Li Erpeng was naturally very concerned about the audience's response.
The result was good.
He was clearly the male lead, but he just got scolded!
Instead, it was that guy.
Full of praise.
It made him so angry that he didn't know what to say; fortunately, the ratings were good, so Li Erpeng suppressed that emotion.
But it just so happened.
In just over a year.
Li Luo suddenly emerged, and the explosive *Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre* firmly pressed him by a head in both word-of-mouth and ratings; the other party's reputation rose, and he was still being scolded.
Plus the matter with Zhou Xun.
He was already in a bad mood.
Now that the reporter ran over to ask this question, it instantly hooked the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"I don't know what you want to ask."
Li Erpeng not only faded his smile but also said expressionlessly: "In my opinion, an actor should first think about how to polish his acting skills, rather than always doing some grandstanding things."
Dropping a sentence, he ignored the reporter anymore.
With his hands coolly in his pockets, he walked toward where he parked without looking back.
Looking at this departing back.
The reporter who stayed in place had his hand holding the recorder trembling, and his eyes erupted with unprecedented brightness.
Damn it.
It's finally my turn to get promoted and get a raise!
Zhuozhou Film and Television City.
After finishing the morning filming, Li Luo held the fragrant boxed lunch and shoveled it into his mouth; the posture was like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, which made Jia Jingwen beside him feel scared.
Subconsciously, she protected the lunch box in her hand.
In this drama.
There were also a large number of martial arts moves.
With high physical consumption, eating naturally became fragrant; in two or three mouthfuls, he scraped the remaining braised eggplant and rice clean.
"Brother Luo."
The production assistant walked over quickly and greeted him: "There are many reporters outside who want to interview you."
"I'm eating."
Li Luo opened another boxed lunch.
And took a big bite of the fragrant chicken leg.
After showing off his skills at the opening ceremony, reporters had been coming to interview him from time to time these past two days; he was already used to it, and if there wasn't money to be made, nothing could delay his eating.
"Brother Luo."
The production assistant's expression was a bit difficult, and he persuaded again: "There are quite a lot of people, and they look quite anxious."
"Many?"
Li Luo swallowed a mouthful of white rice: "How many can there be?"
"A dozen or so."
The production assistant answered very simply.
"Oh my god."
Jia Jingwen clicked her tongue and slapped Li Luo: "If I had known, I would have gone on stage to perform with you that day; stop eating, hurry up and accept the interview."
Coming with so many people.
Li Luo also felt a bit surprised.
It wasn't good to let so many reporters wait for him, lest some inexplicable rumors of him acting like a big shot spread.
Gulping down a few mouthfuls of mineral water.
He wiped his mouth and followed the production assistant out of the filming venue.
Generally, irrelevant people were not allowed to enter or leave the place where the crew was filming; even if the media came to interview, they had to wait outside.
Arriving outside.
Li Luo's steps paused slightly, and he continued to walk forward.
The phone in his pocket vibrated with a buzz.
But he could already see the reporters waiting anxiously outside, and there were indeed a dozen or so; it wouldn't be too late to call back after accepting the interview.
"Li Luo!!!"
The moment his figure appeared.
A cry of surprise rang out instantly.
Immediately after, this group of reporters swarmed forward; they were all so excited that their faces were red, and a dozen recorders were shaking and poked at his mouth.
"Li Luo, do you have a conflict with Li Erpeng?"
"Regarding Li Erpeng's criticism of you, what do you want to express? When did the conflict start? If I remember correctly, you only cooperated on *Laughing in the Wind*, right?"
"Regarding the performance at the opening ceremony, do you think you were grandstanding?"
"Li Erpeng criticized you for having no acting skills, what is your opinion?"
One by one, saliva flew, faces were red and necks were thick, and the chatter was like a swarm of flies exploding beside his ears; Li Luo hadn't realized what was going on before he was squeezed into the middle.
"Please keep your distance."
The production assistant beside him saw that the situation was wrong and rushed over to pull the crowd away to protect him: "Please interview in an orderly manner, everyone don't be chaotic."
"Calm down."
Li Luo pressed his hands down and shouted loudly: "If you do this again, I will interrupt the interview!"
This group of people were crazy, right?
His cheeks were poked a few times by recorders.
If he hadn't dodged quickly, one of the recorders would have been stuffed into his mouth.
Amidst his shouts, other production assistants soon came to assist, and the chaos at the scene was quickly controlled; however, the reporters were still looking at him excitedly, like a pack of hungry wolves.
"Very good, thank you for your cooperation."
Li Luo endured the pain and pulled his collar, looking puzzled: "Dear reporter friends, I don't know what you are talking about."
"Swish!"
The reporters who were prepared early handed out several fresh newspapers together.
With an expression of watching the excitement without fear of it being too big.
Taking the newspaper.
Li Luo stared at it.
"*Laughing in the Wind* crew is harmonious on the surface but not in the heart, Li Erpeng fires a shot."
"Lin Pingzhi's acting skills are poor, Linghu Chong bluntly says he is a grandstanding person, with no real acting skills."
"Li Erpeng is dissatisfied with Li Luo, popular young actor has many conflicts."
These headlines.
Were incredible!
It made Li Luo's heart skip a beat, and he squinted his eyes to scan the written content.
"The *Divine Physician and Heroic Couple* crew held a grand opening ceremony these past two days; although the reporter couldn't go in person, after seeing the video that was released, he still felt admiration for Li Luo's wonderful performance."
"For this reason, the reporter specifically found Li Erpeng, who had cooperated with Li Luo, wanting to ask about the past when the two were filming."
"In *Laughing in the Wind*, Li Erpeng played Linghu Chong."
"Li Luo played Lin Pingzhi."
"Both presented wonderful performances."
"It's just that the reporter didn't expect that as soon as the name Li Luo was mentioned, Li Erpeng's face quickly became cold, and he bluntly said that the former's acting skills were too poor and he should put his mind into polishing his acting."
"Instead of performing those so-called fist techniques at the opening ceremony."
"Doing some grandstanding things."
"Dropping such a sentence, Li Erpeng left disdainfully."
"I don't know why he would have such a reaction, the reporter also felt puzzled; they only cooperated once, it seems that in *Laughing in the Wind* which aired two years ago, the two were as full of conflicts as the characters in the drama."
Seeing this, Li Luo roughly knew what was going on.
A nameless fire rose in his heart.
I was eating, and I got hit by a lightning bolt as soon as I came up.
Who did I provoke?
Noticing Li Luo's face becoming ugly, the recorders were poked at his mouth again; although a dozen people gathered at the scene, it was silent, and the atmosphere seemed particularly strange.
In this situation, it wouldn't work not to say something.
And there was no way to turn his head and leave.
If he dared to leave now, tomorrow there would be reports of Li Luo swallowing his pride and tacitly admitting that his acting skills were poor.
That would be too cowardly!
It would be a heavy blow to his personal image and brand value.
No matter whether the news was taken out of context or not.
He must respond.
"Cough—"
Coughing lightly, Li Luo organized his language frantically in his brain; after pursing his lips, he opened his mouth and said: "Actually, I have always regarded Brother Li Erpeng as an object of learning."
"I don't know why he would have such comments about me."
Under the gaze of a dozen pairs of eyes, he continued: "However, I think that as a senior, for him to stand up and attack me inexplicably, how should I put it, it is really lacking in demeanor."
"As for acting skills, I think it is more appropriate for the audience to evaluate."
"Regarding the performance at the press conference, actually, having the ability to do more promotion for the crew, I, Li Luo, have always been duty-bound."
"Another thing."
"If fist techniques and martial arts are grandstanding things, I don't mind becoming even more grandstanding; the more grandstanding, the better; knowing more things is never a bad thing, right?"
"Actually, I am very proud of what I have learned."
"Everyone has a martial arts dream, and I am also following the footsteps of senior action actors, hoping to weave a better martial arts dream for the audience."
These few sentences made the reporters gasp in their hearts.
Young man, the temper is truly strong!
First, he stated that he didn't provoke anyone, that he was a victim, and that the other party was bullying the small with the big.
He also stated a fact.
The previous performance was all for the promotion of the crew; standing on this position, no one could say he did anything wrong.
Finally, he expanded the matter.
Didn't you say my things were grandstanding?
Alright.
Then pull the martial arts actors in the circle in, expand the scope of the attack, change from attacking one person to attacking a group, and see if you, Li Erpeng, can withstand this pressure.
Next, there will be a good show to watch.
These reporters were all excited with bright eyes.
"By the way!"
Li Luo spread his hands and smiled at the reporters: "Actually, from my perspective, I highly recommend everyone to practice martial arts when they have time; not to mention anything else, at least it can strengthen the body!"
"It won't be that you break your arms and legs at every turn, right?"
As soon as this was said.
Some reporters couldn't help but cough, holding back laughter frantically.
Others looked at Li Luo with admiration; young people are not only hot-blooded, but they really dare to do it!
This gentleman really doesn't suffer any losses.
Scolded by someone.
He had to lose it back on the spot.
Not only did he fight back, but he also had to be sarcastic at the end.
Who doesn't know that Li Erpeng tore his ligaments because of martial arts moves when filming *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*; saying these words, he wasn't afraid of offending Li Erpeng to death.
The other party had deep qualifications, and quite a few friends in the circle.
One person comes and says a sentence.
I'm afraid this kid won't be able to handle it.
The temper is too reckless!
But still the same sentence, watching the excitement without fear of it being too big; getting these few responses from Li Luo, the group of reporters were excited and sweating on their foreheads; it was foreseeable that there would definitely be a good show to watch next.
After Li Luo looked at his watch, they all ended the interview sensibly.
The response they got was explosive enough.
This trip was truly worth it.
These reporters looked at each other, and they ran toward the outside of the film city like a competition, while also taking out their phones to call their colleagues desperately; grabbing news required racing against time.
Swarming up in a hurry, and then scattering like birds and beasts.
It made the production assistant dumbfounded.
Li Luo looked at the backs of these reporters with a calm face; he wasn't made of mud either, it was just right to show off his presence.
If you want to scold me, you have to be prepared to be pulled into the hype.
Hype~
As if no one knows how to do it.
Now Li Erpeng's status is higher than his, so he won't suffer no matter how he does it!
"Wait a minute."
Looking at the few production assistants who were about to disperse, Li Luo took out his Hermès wallet from his pocket and stuffed a red ticket to each of them: "Thanks for the matter just now, take it to buy water."
Everyone who ran over to protect him just now had a share.
Must be rewarded heavily.
Looking at the production assistant who rushed over first, he counted two more and stuffed them in, patting the other party's shoulder: "You are very good, what's your name, capable people should do more work."
"You don't mind being tired, right?"
Between production assistants, there was also a division of labor.
Some people were just laborers.
Moving things all day.
While some were responsible for vehicle deployment, food and beverage procurement, and the like.
Which job had thick oil and water, there was no need to say much.
"Thank you, Brother Luo!"
The production assistant with a crew cut felt his whole body go soft after being patted a few times; he hurriedly said his name and showed his big white teeth: "Thank you, Brother Luo, I don't mind being tired at all."
Righteous.
Truly too righteous!
To say that the bright red banknotes just made the onlookers jealous, now these few words from Li Luo made them all gulp.
No need to say.
Next time they see Brother Luo in trouble, rushing up first is the right thing to do!
Li Luo took out his constantly vibrating phone and turned back to the film set amidst the hot gazes of a group of production assistants, looked at the caller ID on it, and pressed answer casually: "Sister Qing."
"There is a matter."
Xu Qing's voice came from the microphone: "I don't know what Li Erpeng is going crazy about, I'll come to help you solve it, you hide from the reporters first."
"Is hiding useful?"
Li Luo responded lightly.
"You know?"
Quiet for less than a second, Xu Qing's voice sounded again.
"Hmm."
Li Luo laughed a few times and walked inside unhurriedly: "I was besieged by reporters just now, I have already responded; your little brother is not the kind of person who only gets scolded and doesn't fight back, hiding would make me a coward!"
"Makes sense."
Xu Qing thought for a while and said in a crisp tone: "Little guy, who is afraid of whom, scold if you should scold, we won't spoil him, sister will always stand behind you."
Her relationship with Li Erpeng.
Actually, it was okay.
But compared to Li Luo, there was no need to say how to choose to stand in line.
"Isn't it me standing behind you?"
Li Luo felt moved in his heart and replied lightly.
"Annoying."
Hearing that he could still joke, Xu Qing knew that it hadn't brought any pressure to Li Luo at all, so she felt relieved: "Then let's see the reaction first?"
"That's right."
Li Luo said calmly: "I can't be the only one getting beaten, you have to give me a chance to vent my anger, right?"
"You are really bad!"
Xu Qing hung up the phone with a click. ===== CHAPTER 152 =====
