Chapter 51: Loyal fan
"Sorry."
The person in the middle quickly reached out to block him, expressionless: "We have something to do; can we talk about autographs later?"
It was no wonder he had to block him.
Li Luo's reaction at this moment was just like the fans they usually encountered.
Only, it was even more excessive.
Others at most watched frequently, but this kid actually wanted to reach out directly.
"No problem."
Xu Jinjiang pushed his assistant aside and looked at Li Luo with a shy smile: "Little brother, I'll give you an autograph after we get out of the elevator."
He spoke slowly, and his tone was quite gentle.
His eyes were still dodging.
He was simply a shy big boy; compared to the manic image in the movies, it was a world of difference.
"No."
Li Luo also came to his senses, gave an awkward smile, and was about to explain.
"Ding~"
Just then, the elevator door opened.
He had no choice but to suppress his words and walk out with the two of them.
The lobby was noisy, with crew members and actors coming and going everywhere.
After Xu Jinjiang walked out of the elevator, he didn't rush to leave.
He turned around and looked at Li Luo.
Looking at it, he was ready to sign.
"Li Luo."
Before the latter could speak, a greeting sounded from the side.
Yuan Bin, dressed in high spirits, walked over quickly and shook his head: "Why didn't you hire an assistant? What does it look like for you to be alone?"
"Hey, Jinjiang?"
"Director Yuan."
The two greeted each other simultaneously.
Xu Jinjiang had been mixing in the Hong Kong circle for many years, and he didn't just film erotic films; he was also a fairly well-known golden supporting actor, so of course, he had dealt with Yuan Bin.
"By the way."
Yuan Bin introduced subconsciously: "This is Li Luo, playing Zhang Cuishan and Zhang Wuji."
"Xu Jinjiang, Golden Lion King Xie Xun."
As soon as Director Yuan said this, the faces of Xu Jinjiang and his assistant turned awkward at a speed visible to the naked eye; for a supporting actor to sign for the lead, it would be a laughingstock if it got out.
It couldn't be blamed on them.
This was the first meeting of the main crew members.
Li Luo's only notable role right now was Lin Pingzhi; it was perfectly normal not to be recognized.
"Teacher Xu."
Li Luo took the initiative to ease the awkwardness and reached out his hand with a smile: "I really am your loyal fan. Hmm, I really liked your performance in the movie *Made in Hong Kong*."
This time he controlled himself and didn't mention erotic films.
This was also a time of transformation for the other party, as he was gradually no longer touching those films.
And it was somewhat of a dark history.
When this bald, burly man talked about these things on talk shows in Hong Kong, he once told the camera directly that it was just to fill his stomach, but it had brought shame to his family.
When speaking of it emotionally, a grown man shed tears in public.
So there was no need to poke at someone else's scars.
"Eh?"
Xu Jinjiang quickly took the step down, held Li Luo's hand, and said: "You've even seen such an obscure movie?"
Those who didn't know would think he was a Hong Konger.
In fact, this guy was a burly man from the Northeast, and his Mandarin was very good.
*Made in Hong Kong*.
It was the debut work of Milkyway Image.
It was full of experimentation, and the filming technique was quite bold, which Li Luo found very enjoyable; in this movie, Xu Jinjiang played a street thug with a lisp very interestingly.
"Consumer."
Li Luo chuckled, and a Cantonese phrase blurted out: "If it's not right, change it until it is, isn't that right!"
The few men looked at each other.
And all burst into laughter.
This was a classic line spoken by one of the actors after Xu Jinjiang, Wu Zhenyu, and others went to a bathhouse and changed technicians batch after batch in the movie.
When it came to certain special topics, men always had a tacit understanding; although Xu Jinjiang's own personality was vastly different from the one in the movie, it didn't affect his knowing smile.
After a few polite words, the two exchanged phone numbers.
Xu Jinjiang took his assistant to sign in.
Yuan Bin also brought up the old matter again, shaking his head repeatedly: "You really can consider finding a private assistant; where is there a male lead like you?"
Everyone else had big entourages and small entourages.
Only this guy was always alone, wandering around like a college student.
Actually, actors finding assistants was a very realistic thing.
It wasn't just to put on airs.
Sometimes, after filming all day, many people didn't have the energy to deal with the small and large trivial matters.
Another thing, just like just now.
Having an assistant by one's side was also equivalent to a buffer.
When encountering fanatical fans or some things that made actors feel embarrassed, a private assistant could stand out to play the bad guy, which wouldn't directly affect the actor's personal image.
"We'll talk about it later."
Li Luo hesitated slightly and shrugged: "I don't feel there's any need right now."
How much is there to do?
He didn't feel he was busy enough to need to order people around!
"By the way."
Remembering something else, he asked back: "How did you consider my suggestion from last time? Zhang Cuishan uses the Silver Hook and Iron Brush; don't be lazy and just give me a long sword."
Although the salary wasn't high, he still had the rights a male lead should have.
No longer like Lin Pingzhi, who could only be arranged, Li Luo proposed some reasonable or unreasonable requests, and the crew had to consider them carefully.
In the Su version of *Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre*, Zhang Cuishan carried a long sword around all day.
But clearly, he used the Silver Hook and Iron Brush.
It wasn't that it couldn't be done; many versions were lazy and did it that way.
However, Li Luo felt that since he was playing two roles, it was very necessary to use some methods to help the audience distinguish between Zhang Cuishan and Zhang Wuji; his acting skills were another matter.
Using different weapons was also an obvious good way.
"Don't worry."
Yuan Bin made an OK gesture: "Rotten Silver Tiger Head Hook, Pig Iron Judge Brush, I've already asked the props team to get them, and I've even designed a set of exclusive moves for you. Satisfied now?"
"Thanks, I'll toast you a few more cups later." Li Luo smiled and cupped his hands.
It's good to have a familiar martial arts director to get things done.
If it were someone he didn't know, they might think he was overstepping his bounds.
"Hehe."
Yuan Bin smiled without warmth and patted his shoulder hard: "Today you are the male lead; are you sure you want to provoke me at this time?"
Li Luo's expression suddenly stiffened.
He hadn't thought of this.
The opening banquet in the afternoon would probably be tough!
Seeing his dazed look, Yuan Bin laughed and left.
Li Luo shook his head and gave a bitter smile, went to the actor sign-in area to register his personal information, and then took his room card to his exclusive lounge, seeing a few people waiting outside from afar.
Beside these people were large and small packages.
This was a treatment he hadn't had before; Lin Pingzhi was also an important supporting role, but most of the time he had to wait for the makeup artist and costume designer himself.
"Brother Luo."
The few people chatting quickly perked up.
As behind-the-scenes staff of the crew, of course, they recognized the main actors of the drama; this could be considered a required course.
Don't accidentally offend someone one day!
"Hello everyone."
Li Luo walked up quickly and shook hands with the behind-the-scenes staff with a smile: "Sorry for the long wait. Today, I'll leave this hundred-plus pounds to you; please be gentle!"
Doing their line of work.
They could encounter all kinds of monsters and ghosts.
Seeing the male lead so easygoing, the few behind-the-scenes people looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief simultaneously. ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
