Chapter 155: Which Best Actor is this?
Jia Jingwen landed on the ground, her legs feeling a bit shaky.
She looked at Li Luo, who was standing to the side.
She pinched her palm hard, suppressing the urge to shudder.
"Warm-up finished."
Once they quieted down, Li Luo clapped his hands and looked at the stuntmen who had long been prepared to the side: "Next, let me demonstrate my 'embroidery legs'!"
The two stuntmen holding the kicking targets ran up quickly.
They assumed a defensive stance toward Li Luo.
Since they made a living with their bodies, they certainly had no shortage of such training equipment, and they were no strangers to using them.
To achieve a better effect, Li Luo did not remind the other party to use force.
After nodding.
He bounced on the spot twice and swept a whip kick through the air with a whistle.
"Bang!!!"
Following a loud noise.
The stuntman holding the target sideways was struck by that immense force, staggering back two steps before landing on his butt on the ground. Not only was he scared into a cold sweat, but everyone present collectively swallowed their saliva.
Who on earth said these were "embroidery legs"?
With so many people present, no one dared to take a hit like that.
Li Luo swept out another heavy leg, and the other stuntman, who was fully prepared, was also sent reeling backward to dissipate the force.
Mastering proficient-level Muay Thai.
Li Luo could fully unleash his own power.
And thus, this effect was formed.
Once the stuntman stood steady again, he went up and unleashed two consecutive elbow strikes, making the kicking target bang loudly. The powerful and heavy movements left the reporters looking horrified, not daring to imagine the consequences if that hit a person.
After showing off his muscles.
Li Luo walked in front of the camera with a cold face.
That sense of oppression.
Scared the cameraman into taking a step back!
He first extended a palm toward the lens, rotating it into a fist.
On his large fist.
The protruding knuckles were clearly visible.
Then he extended the other hand and performed the same action.
Li Luo smiled disdainfully again, put both hands behind his back, quickly took a step back, and rotated his body to deliver a side kick.
One foot stood firmly on the ground.
He tilted his waist and kicked the other leg high up.
The stylish and sharp movement made the cameraman lick his lips; without Li Luo saying a word, the meaning was clear enough.
Never mind giving you one hand.
Even using just my feet, I can easily knock you kid down!!!
After showing off this move.
The so-called behind-the-scenes footage was finished filming.
Amidst loud cheers, Li Luo took the clothes, threw them over his shoulder, and waved with a smile.
Several reporters packed up their cameras and rushed toward the cameraman to request a copy of the video. This was, of course, no problem at all; filming it was meant for them to spread it, otherwise, how could he slap their faces?
Li Luo also took out his phone and called Wu Dun.
He couldn't just watch the show anymore.
He told him to call up anyone he could; if he took too much abuse, some things would cause irreversible negative effects. He still understood such a simple principle.
The words Li Luo responded with naturally.
Began to ferment rapidly.
Despite being scolded as a "cowardly turtle," Li Erpeng's mood was actually quite good, and he even had the leisure to pour himself a glass of red wine.
Young people just can't keep their cool.
Getting anxious so quickly.
Keep scolding!
The more intense the response, the more people he offends, and the more miserably he will die later.
Swirling his red wine glass.
He looked at the news on the webpage and gave a simple, honest smile.
The music industry bigwig Xiang Naying, who stood up to speak for Li Erpeng, was the first to be found by reporters. Li Luo's "shameless to the core" remark made her immediately bristle: "I think this Li Luo not only has a big mouth."
"His character is also very problematic."
"Disrespecting his seniors—this point seems to be beyond doubt!"
However, not long after this news article was posted, over a dozen "Hehe" comments were spammed underneath, making Li Erpeng feel a wave of discomfort.
That one press release from Li Luo.
Instantly turned the word "Hehe" into something extremely sarcastic.
Netizens were also having a blast.
Regardless of which fan base they were dealing with, as long as they were scolding Li Luo, they would counter with a "Hehe," choking Li Erpeng's fans to death.
And Wang Xuebing, who faced this sarcasm directly.
Was angry again and again!
Ever since that idol romance drama became a hit, he had never experienced such mockery. Now it wasn't just about Li Erpeng anymore; he immediately rolled up his sleeves and continued to engage in a war of words with the reporters.
Of course.
Before that, he swept a very aggrieved glance at Fan Bingbing.
Was all the flattery during this time.
Offered in vain?
While the internet was in an uproar, an exclusive interview appeared on the entertainment section of the Xinlang portal website.
"Xu Qing: Li Erpeng owes Li Luo an apology."
This big red headline attracted the attention of countless people.
The people who stood up before could be said to be outsiders, but as the female lead of *Xiao Ao Jianghu*, Xu Qing's words naturally carried plenty of weight, slamming a heavy counterweight onto the scales of victory.
Li Luo's fans were invigorated by this.
Various comments about how Li Erpeng couldn't stand others being more popular than him emerged one after another online.
The incident where he saved someone back then.
Actually, many people didn't know about it.
Now that Xu Qing had brought up the old matter, many passerby netizens leaned toward Li Luo emotionally; after all, this kind of thing naturally makes people have a good impression, and the Chinese people like to judge heroes by their character.
People who do good deeds will always gain more support.
Coupled with the fact that Li Erpeng's performance in *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* was indeed not very good, some drama fans also stood up and lashed out.
Just as the melee was intensifying, another interview quietly emerged.
"Jiang Wen: Looking forward to collaborating with Li Luo."
This was the news headline; the specific interview content was as follows:
"Director Jiang, what are your plans next?"
"Preparing to shoot an art film."
"Directing or acting?"
"Acting."
"What is the movie about?"
"Adapted from a famous foreign work. I will play a writer in it. Xu Jinglei is the director; I'm just in charge of acting."
"Anything worth sharing?"
"Hmm, this time I will be working with several new actors, and I'm very much looking forward to it."
"For example?"
"Li Luo. In *Yi Tian Tu Long* which is currently airing, he plays Zhang Wuji. He's a pretty good kid."
"I know this person; isn't it said that his acting skills are poor?"
"Bullshit, who said that?"
"Li Erpeng."
"Which grade of Best Actor is he supposed to be?"
Seeing this, the netizens burst into laughter.
It was truly both vicious and overbearing.
They never expected that Li Luo would actually have a connection with Jiang Wen, and that the two would co-star in a movie directed by Xu Jinglei. This was big news, and Li Luo's fans were incredibly excited.
And what made them even more thrilled was that Jiang Wen actually stood up to speak for Li Luo.
They had never imagined such a thing would happen.
It's true that Li Erpeng's seniority is deeper than Li Luo's, but compared to the two people who had stood up one after another, he was completely outclassed.
While things were chaotic on the surface, there were also undercurrents moving in the shadows.
Two bigwigs from the Beijing circle had taken sides one after another.
This made those who had just finished interviews and were trying to fish in troubled waters rush to call back, suppressing the news releases the websites were preparing to send out, not daring to reach out their black hands any further.
No matter who it was, they had to weigh carefully at this moment whether it was worth wading into these muddy waters.
Just as Xu Qing had expected.
Quite a few people wanted to take this opportunity to bring down Li Luo, who had suddenly shot to fame.
But the interviews of these two people made them realize that Li Luo was not a guy without a foundation; at the very least, he was part of the Beijing circle. Rushing in at this time would surely lead to a bruised head.
Just that vicious remark from Jiang Wen about "which grade of Best Actor is he."
Could make Li Erpeng miserable for several years.
"Bang~"
The red wine glass fell heavily to the ground, shattering into pieces, with shards splashing everywhere.
At this moment, Li Erpeng.
No longer had his previous composure, his face turning livid.
It wasn't that he didn't know Xu Qing had adopted Li Luo as a younger brother, but for the past two years, he had never heard of any collaboration between the two. He had assumed it was just a fake gesture to handle that kid.
His own relationship with Xu Qing was actually not bad either.
At worst, he could just come out and smooth things over.
But now she had jumped out directly to make him apologize, and even dragged Jiang Wen into it!
He had some status, but how could he compare to that guy?
"Which grade of Best Actor is he."
Li Erpeng paced back and forth in the room, muttering angrily: "How could he speak like that? Why would he speak like that? Isn't this bullying people by relying on his seniority?"
"What should we do now?"
His assistant asked timidly from the side.
"What do you mean what should we do!"
Li Erpeng glared fiercely at the assistant and sat down on his seat.
He stared fixedly at the monitor again.
"On Li Luo's Flowery Fists and Embroidery Legs."
I don't know when, but the website had refreshed another report.
He couldn't help but move the mouse and click in. Countless netizens were doing the same thing as Li Erpeng.
The responses from others were certainly interesting.
But the main character.
Was truly the most vicious.
The sentences Li Luo threw out had already been played to death; netizens were naturally curious about what other interesting things he would say.
"Direct hit from the set of *Shen Yi Xia Lv*."
"To demonstrate the style of his new drama, Li Luo demonstrated his 'flowery fists and embroidery legs' to the reporters on the spot."
"Let's see how the effect is?"
Scrolling down and seeing the refreshed pictures, countless people dropped their jaws along with Li Erpeng. In the picture, Li Luo was supporting himself steadily on the ground with both hands, and someone was actually standing on his back.
The person standing there was also very familiar.
*Yi Tian Tu Long* and *Zhi Zun Hong Yan*, these two dramas, made Jia Jingwen one of the hottest actresses this year.
Couldn't be more familiar.
"Fake, right!!!"
Even Li Erpeng couldn't help but complain.
"Under the gaze of the reporters, Li Luo performed a total of ten manned push-ups, showing amazing core strength and arm power. No, according to some people's claims, this is merely 'flowery fists'."
Seeing this, the netizens burst into laughter.
They were both surprised by Li Luo's strength and excited by the reporter's words.
The text and pictures continued.
The next photo was Li Luo sweeping his leg toward the target.
The frozen frame looked unremarkable.
But the next one.
The person holding the kicking target had actually flown into the air out of nowhere. The reporter's photography technique was spot on, capturing the exact moment the stuntman's feet left the ground simultaneously and his butt was falling backward.
Just from the photo, one could feel that terrifying power.
Seeing this, Li Erpeng swallowed his saliva again, gritted his teeth, and repeated: "Fake, it's fake!"
"Afterward, the reporter found Li Luo. According to him, besides learning traditional martial arts, he also practices Muay Thai. The sweep kick is considered a basic skill, and Muay Thai is a highly powerful combat art."
"Whether in actual combat or combat competitions, it shines brilliantly."
"It seems Li Luo is not just stubborn."
"However, in the eyes of some people, perhaps this is also just 'embroidery legs'!"
The subsequent photos of elbow strikes verified the Muay Thai claim. Just by looking at the nervous expression on the face of the person holding the target, one could tell how powerful it was.
Finally, Li Luo put his hands behind his back.
And delivered a diagonal kick.
Not only did it show off those muscles, but the sarcasm was also dialed up to the max.
The gossiping netizens instantly went wild, flooding like a tide under Wang Xuebing's press release, posting all kinds of comments.
"Tell Wang Xuebing, don't you dare chicken out."
"Don't be afraid."
"It's just flowery fists and embroidery legs, Li Luo is just being stubborn, go for it!"
"To the person above, you're dying to see him get beaten, right?"
"Redefining flowery fists and embroidery legs."
"He even gave you both hands, and you're still afraid? I support you in fighting him to the end, you absolutely cannot endure this, hahaha."
"Don't chicken out!!!"
Comments coming from all directions directly caused the website to fall into a brief lag.
"Knock, knock, knock."
The room door was slammed heavily.
Li Erpeng turned his head blankly, and the assistant hurriedly got up to open the door.
The person who entered was his manager. The other party walked quickly to the computer and entered a URL: "You were too impulsive this time. Not only did you provoke Jiang Wen, but now others are starting to follow suit."
"It's likely someone is exerting force behind the scenes."
Hitting the enter key heavily, the manager said in a muffled voice: "If you want to scold Li Luo, just scold Li Luo. Why did you have to say other things? You've offended the stuntmen too. Are you still going to shoot martial arts dramas in the future?"
"We need to respond immediately, we can't hide anymore!"
In just a short moment.
The website had refreshed many more news items.
"Wei Zi: Li Luo often discusses acting issues with me; he has a very good attitude as an actor."
"Zhang Tielin: There is no disrespect toward seniors."
"Zhang Guoli: Li Luo respects me very much and sends greetings during holidays. I don't know why those people evaluate him like this; it's very unfair to him."
"Wang Gang: I like that young man Li Luo."
"Yuan Bin: Li Luo is a very diligent actor, and we collaborated very happily. I just discovered that Li Erpeng actually views us martial arts practitioners this way. I express regret for having collaborated with him before."
"Ma Yucheng: Li Erpeng must be responsible for what he says."
"Zhao Wenchao: I am proud to be an actor who knows martial arts. Some people need to pay attention to their words and deeds."
"Shi Xiaolong: This is a malicious attack on Big Brother Li Luo."
"Ge You: I have heard of this young man Li Luo, and I hope to have the opportunity to collaborate with him."
"Huo Xuan: Li Luo respects his teachers and the Dao."
Wu Dun and Xu Qing exerted force together, and the situation instantly reversed. Interviews appeared one after another, crashing toward Li Erpeng like a tide.
Looking at those familiar names.
Sweat beaded on Li Erpeng's forehead, and he gritted his teeth hard.
"Stop it."
The manager held down his shoulder, shook his head, and advised: "With Xu Qing and Jiang Wen taking the lead, I estimate quite a few more people will come out. Plus, do you know who the investor behind Li Luo's drama crew is?"
"We can't afford to offend them."
"Let's clarify it; just say you didn't mean it that way at the time and were misinterpreted by the reporters!"
"That would be retreating!"
Li Erpeng turned his head with red eyes and gritted his teeth: "How can we retreat from this kind of thing? You tell me how to retreat?"
The tone of his voice was anxious!
