Chapter 217: Appetizer
"Ring~"
The bell rang, and the classroom became noisy again.
Everyone gathered around Li Luo without exception, asking about all sorts of things.
For example.
How he managed to go to a concert with Liu Jialing.
And for example.
How it felt to film with Big Brother Hong Jinbao.
Everyone was like curious babies, asking all kinds of questions, occasionally letting out a slightly flattering laugh.
Yes.
It was flattery.
The classmates' attitudes had clearly changed, and the social atmosphere was heavier.
"It's almost senior year."
After the crowd dispersed, Bian Xiaoxiao noticed Li Luo's slight confusion and shook her head: "Those with ability have already run to the crews, and everyone has to face the various pressures of entering society."
"Thinking about things."
"Can't be like a student anymore!"
A few simple sentences cleared Li Luo's confusion.
The closer it got to graduation, the easier it was for everyone to feel the gap; the youthful arrogance and high spirits of the past were gone, and they had to start thinking about real survival problems.
As the person with the highest achievement in the class, some flattery wasn't surprising.
Maybe a single sentence.
Could save several years of effort.
Actually, they didn't know if Li Luo could help, but maintaining a good relationship was never wrong.
If it weren't for the fact that class was about to start, they would have kept chatting.
"Where's Nailiang?"
Li Luo looked left and right, not seeing the creamy-faced young man.
"His company's resources are good."
Huang Shengyi flipped a ballpoint pen in her hand, ignoring the hand placed on her thigh: "He helped get the role of Yang Liu Lang in The Yangs' Saga, but it seems like it's about to wrap up too."
"You're not bad either."
Bian Xiaoxiao propped up her chin, looking at Huang Shengyi with envy: "Entering the crew at the end of the month to film The Proud Twins with a big director."
"Hmm!"
The Shanghai girl coughed lightly.
"The Proud Twins?"
Li Luo looked at the pretty little face and asked in surprise: "Isn't it said that before the release of Kung Fu, you need to lock the schedule?"
Locking or not, it was actually just a word from the brokerage company.
Looking at the teacher walking in, Huang Shengyi lowered her voice to explain the situation; anyway, it was while they were in class, a call came from the Star-Gathering Company, and she needed to enter the crew for The Proud Twins.
And indicated that she would be collaborating with Li Erpeng in the drama.
Telling him not to mind.
Li Luo naturally had nothing to say about this.
Still that same sentence, in the circle, there were many times when one couldn't avoid seeing each other; regarding who to act with, actors often had no autonomy.
Even.
Sometimes roles were decided.
But could be temporarily replaced because of someone else's word.
Li Luo had some impression of The Proud Twins; it was filmed quite well, but the Japanese flavor was a bit heavy.
"How long are you staying back?"
Bian Xiaoxiao looked at the textbook in his hand, her expression quite excited.
If he were only staying for a few days.
He definitely wouldn't have brought the textbook back to the classroom.
"A few months, I guess."
Li Luo gave an answer that made both girls feel pleasantly surprised, smiling as he opened the textbook: "I don't want to end up delaying graduation; after working so hard for so long, I have to get the certificate at least."
"When are you entering the crew, Brother Long should have contacted you, right?"
"Hmm."
Bian Xiaoxiao blinked playfully, smiling: "Producer Zhang arranged a good role for me; the opening time is about the same as Shengyi's, but I'm not just doing one drama."
"There's more?"
This made the Shanghai girl surprised.
"That's right." Bian Xiaoxiao looked at the Shanghai girl, stealing a smile like a little fox: "Sister Yuanyuan also helped me find a small supporting role in The Proud Twins, so I can live with you again."
"Great!"
Huang Shengyi was a bit furious, reaching out and pinching her: "You actually lied to me."
During this time, Bian Xiaoxiao often put on a depressed look.
Making her try all sorts of ways to comfort her.
Tired until she was panting.
It turned out, this guy was faking it all.
Seeing the two women fighting, Li Luo felt his mouth go dry, hurriedly shifting his attention back to the podium.
Being an actor is like this, as long as the relationship is good enough.
Pulling each other along.
That's an opportunity.
Huang Shengyi definitely didn't have the ability to pull Bian Xiaoxiao along now, but Gao Yuanyuan was completely fine; getting a marginal role for Bian Xiaoxiao wasn't very difficult for that guy.
Don't know what Gao Yuanyuan's psychology was.
Compensation.
Or an offensive and defensive alliance.
Anyway, she and Bian Xiaoxiao were quite close.
Regarding this, Li Luo held a wait-and-see attitude.
After fighting for a bit, the two finally stopped, and Bian Xiaoxiao noticed Li Luo was reading seriously, hurriedly apologizing: "Brother Luo, we didn't mean it."
"Don't take it to heart, I believe a suitable script will come along soon."
"Better worry about yourself."
Huang Shengyi rolled her eyes at her, saying prettily: "Do you think Brother Luo will still lack dramas to film?"
"Ahem."
Li Luo flipped to the next page.
The two girls finally stopped completely.
There were successive calls for roles, including queue dramas, Republican dramas, anti-Japanese dramas, and romance dramas, and the pay offered was quite good, but he politely declined them one by one.
Some pay wasn't that easy to take.
Actors can be roughly divided into two categories: leads and supporting.
Li Luo now.
Naturally, was categorized as a lead.
Taking extremely high pay, enjoying the best treatment in the crew, eating, drinking, and traveling were satisfied as much as possible, and in the screen, he also got the most outstanding scenes and shots.
But all this, wasn't without requirements.
TV leads.
Have to carry the ratings.
Movie leads.
Have to carry the box office.
At worst, they have to bring back a good reputation; if they can't make money, at least they can make some noise.
If neither, they will quickly turn from a phoenix into a chicken.
Becoming stinking dog shit in the eyes of investors.
Unlike supporting actors, as long as they have skills, they can make a living even if TV and movies flop, without having to bear the pressure of a lead.
Also because of this reason.
Successful leads are very cautious about taking roles; if they aren't sure, they'd rather be idle than take a drama.
If the signboard is smashed, no one will look for them in the future.
The ones who found Li Luo during this time were all aiming for his signboard, but the scripts weren't great, and there were no personal relationships involved, so naturally, he wouldn't rashly take on a pile of bad movies.
He had to build his qualifications thicker before he could occasionally take one or two dramas where he threw away his integrity just to make money.
This kind of thing is also a routine operation in the industry.
It won't affect the judgment of investors.
Amidst the leisurely lecture, the class ended quickly.
To show welcome for Li Luo's return to Beijing, Bian Xiaoxiao enthusiastically invited him to the Sun Garden residential area to cook a few signature dishes.
This place had already become a shared apartment for the two girls.
After Li Luo wandered around.
He found that the two lived separately upstairs and downstairs.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Don't let them be completely twisted in another direction because of him; he estimated that the two guys would still have occasional exchanges, but at least they wouldn't be like lovers sleeping in the same bed.
Bian Xiaoxiao was clattering away in the kitchen.
As for Huang Shengyi, after changing into home clothes, she put her long legs on the coffee table, watching the show on TV happily.
Having been held in the palm of the hand since childhood.
Letting her work in the kitchen would only be a hindrance.
Li Luo wandered back to the hall, sitting next to the Shanghai girl, looking at Happy Camp on TV.
He Jiong was witty.
That guy is worthy of being hailed as the host with the highest emotional intelligence and the best speaking skills in the domestic entertainment industry; with just a few simple sentences, he coaxed the guests into a very comfortable state.
Beside him, was Xie Na.
At this time, she was still relatively restrained.
Unlike later, when you could hear her shrill 'hahahahaha' the whole time!
Watching and watching.
Li Luo's attention shifted.
On the coffee table, her feet were swaying happily, her fair and straight legs crossed, and the higher up, the plumper, and finally, they were tightly pressed together, looking a bit fleshy.
The tight hot pants were flipped up by the sofa.
Half of her buttocks.
In full view.
Beijing in March was still a bit cold, and the room was filled with ample heating.
For this reason, Huang Shengyi was only wearing a small camisole, with no other clothing inside, her flat belly rising and falling slightly, and a gust of air conditioning blew over, making the loose clothes tremble slightly.
The breasts, which could be held in one hand, were looming in Li Luo's eyes.
Taking a deep breath.
He reached out and pulled the girl over.
The soft cry had just started, and it was instantly blocked in her cherry mouth in an instant.
In no time at all.
The loose sofa danced along with the cooking sounds in the kitchen.
"Dinner is ready!"
When Bian Xiaoxiao walked out happily with the dishes, what she saw was Huang Shengyi pointing her feet high towards the ceiling, while Li Luo was tasting this appetizer to his heart's content.
First smiling, she nimbly put down the dishes in her hand.
Which one to eat first.
Sometimes there was no need to hesitate too much.
"Wait."
Li Luo divided his attention, hurriedly reminding: "Keep your apron on."
Regarding his words.
Bian Xiaoxiao was always compliant.
A short minute later, she transformed into a beautiful little kitchen maid, swaying her waist as she walked towards the sofa, making this welcome dinner today even more vivid.
The next day.
The sky was just beginning to brighten when Li Luo quietly opened his eyes.
The warm breeze blew.
Making his bones feel a bit soft.
First looking at the gray sky outside, then at Huang Shengyi sleeping in his arms, and in the other direction, Bian Xiaoxiao was resting her fair legs on his abdomen.
The breathing sounds of these two people rose and fell one after another.
Outside the window, there were pigeon shadows flashing again.
All of this was reminding him that he had returned to Beijing, and for the next period of time, he didn't have to rush to the set to put on makeup early, nor did he have to fight with others until he was covered in water and sweat.
The pressure of acting could be thrown to the side.
Enjoy life to the fullest first.
"Slap~"
Li Luo grinned and gave Huang Shengyi's little buttocks a light slap.
Starting morning exercises amidst the other's muttering.
After finishing breakfast, Li Luo sat in the Cherokee, and not long after, the ringing of a bicycle bell came from behind, and Huang Shengyi and Bian Xiaoxiao left a series of crisp laughs.
Pedaling their bicycles, they whistled past him.
The college students were full of youthful breath, and their energetic appearance made the streets of Beijing instantly sunny and bright.
Li Luo also whistled a little tune, driving slowly towards the school.
After finishing a day of classes.
He drove to Xu Qing's house at night, and just as he took out the key to open the door, the big girl with short hair ran over happily, jumping straight onto him.
The big girl had also just wrapped up filming not long ago; the other had collaborated with Chen Baoguo on a crime drama some time ago.
This kind of drama.
Was also very marketable now.
"You've lost weight."
Not having seen each other for a long time, Xu Qing rubbed his face hard and said happily: "But you're more handsome, looking like a sunny young guy."
"You've gained weight."
Li Luo weighed the big girl with one hand and closed the door casually.
"No, I haven't."
Xu Qing twisted her waist to protest.
"Check and you'll know." Pinching her buttocks, Li Luo laughed heartily as he carried the embarrassed big girl inside, checking properly whether the other had gained or lost weight during this time.
After the two tossed and turned until they were covered in sweat.
They understood each other's recent situation.
After filming Half Moon, the other welcomed a short rest.
However, it wouldn't be long before Xu Qing would collaborate with Jiang Wen to star in a TV drama called The Qing Dynasty, and Jiang Wen had asked Li Luo before if he wanted to play along, but he politely declined.
Chatting and chatting, the big girl ignited the war again.
The quilt was lifted.
Covering countless spring scenery.
Returning to campus, life was comfortable and cozy, spending every day wandering around several women.
Another thing was all kinds of classes.
Time passed leisurely like this, and when Saturday afternoon arrived, Li Luo declined Xu Qing's invitation to go play mahjong at Jiang Wen's house, driving the Cherokee to the airport alone.
Ten minutes later, a figure appeared before
A height of one meter sixty-something.
This woman was wearing a high-end business suit, her hair tied in a neat ponytail, dragging a suitcase in her hand. Her fair, delicate face was framed by black-rimmed glasses, and her high heels clicked as she walked.
She was also draped in a long trench coat.
Her figure was brisk and spirited, and she looked every bit the business elite.
"Bang."
The car door slammed shut.
Li Luo strode over with his long legs and reached out his arm with a smile: "Welcome, Sister Lin Yue. A handshake will do; we need to develop this habit, as we never know when we might be noticed by reporters."
"Okay."
Lin Yue suppressed her excitement and lightly touched his hand.
"Have things at home been taken care of?"
Grabbing the suitcase again, Li Luo turned and walked toward the trunk.
"They have."
Looking at Li Luo's back, Lin Yue followed quickly: "Anyway, she's already used to being at her grandparents' house. Once I'm settled here, I'll see if I should bring her to the capital."
After putting the luggage away, the two got into the car together.
He didn't rush to start the engine.
Li Luo tapped the steering wheel and looked at the bespectacled girl sitting in the passenger seat.
Because of his one sentence, she had resolutely chosen to give up her career at Anta and choose a job that seemed ethereal and illusory.
The sacrifice she made was by no means small.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yue took off her black-rimmed glasses and wiped her face quickly with her fingers: "I thought that since you are a celebrity after all, my own attire should be more low-key, so I went and chose a pair of frames to wear."
"Do you think it doesn't look good?"
"It looks good."
Li Luo held her hand and applied a little pressure: "It looks very good, Sister Yue. I won't let you regret making this choice."
"Mm."
Lin Yue gripped his hand back tightly, the veins on the back of her hand popping out: "I believe in you!"
