Chapter 57: Giving a glimmer of light
Inside the tent.
The two people with small bumps on their foreheads looked at each other, their expressions a bit strange.
Before the swelling went down, they couldn't even think about filming again.
"Sorry."
Guo Feili applied the ointment and gave a bitter smile: "I didn't think such a thing would happen."
"It's normal for the crew to have some accidents."
Li Luo couldn't help but laugh, indicating that such things were nothing.
"Let me help you."
Perhaps out of guilt, Guo Feili squeezed some ointment onto her finger and reached out to point at his forehead.
"No need."
Although he said he didn't need it, Li Luo didn't move at all.
Feeling the small hand rubbing gently on his forehead, the sensation was cool and carried a bit of silkiness.
He couldn't help but look at the woman in front of him.
While the other party had a serious expression, there was also a bit of guilt between her willow eyebrows.
She looked extremely beautiful, especially the small diamond stuck in the middle of her forehead, which served as the finishing touch to her stunning face; he was mesmerized for a moment.
"That's enough."
Guo Feili finished applying the medicine and let out a light breath.
Her gaze moved downward.
But she found Li Luo staring straight at her, so she was both angry and amused, and flicked her finger lightly on his forehead: "What are you looking at? As if you don't recognize me."
"I don't recognize you."
Li Luo sighed, shook his head, and said: "I still can't believe I can know such a beautiful Peony Fairy."
"Slick-tongued."
Thinking of the scene where the other party swallowed his saliva just now, Guo Feili couldn't help but give him a pretty glare.
The female assistant on the side looked at her nose, her nose at her heart.
Her heart at the air.
As if she hadn't heard anything.
Guo Feili also realized her assistant was on the side; she coughed lightly and quickly returned to her chair to sit down.
Li Luo smiled, stood up, and walked out of the tent provided for the main actors to rest.
At this time, the crew was preparing to film the scene where the Golden Lion King uses the Lion Roar to stun a group of martial arts heroes; a circle of drums was placed on the stage, and the pyrotechnician was placing explosives on the drum rack.
The props team was also fiddling with a dummy in the same clothes as Xu Jinjiang in the middle of the stage.
This was a big scene.
In a while, the explosives on the drum rack would all go off.
Not to mention Xu Jinjiang himself, for safety reasons, even a stunt double wouldn't go up; just using a dummy would be enough.
The extras also entered a rest state.
They could only enter the scene to wait after the fireworks and props were ready.
While he was looking around, Wang Baoqiang in the distance wiped the sweat from his face, enduring the constant chatter of the extra leader beside him.
"Be thick-skinned."
"I just asked the assistant director; he said it was Brother Luo who saw you working hard, so he did that."
The extra leader looked at Wang Baoqiang and said tirelessly: "Li Luo is the male lead; if he says a few good words for you, arranging a role with a few lines is easy."
"Go over and say hello, leave a name."
"That wouldn't be good."
Although Baoqiang was moved, he shook his head decisively: "Brother Luo is injured; at this time, let him rest well."
"Hey, you coward."
The extra leader was disappointed, hands on his hips: "If you miss this village, there won't be this shop."
"That kind of big shot, who will remember you tomorrow!"
When speaking, the extra leader looked at Li Luo from time to time, noticing the other party looking at his position, and quickly piled up a smiling face.
The next moment, his smiling face became even brighter.
"Go."
He quickly pushed Baoqiang: "He's calling you over."
Under Li Luo's wave and the extra leader's push, Wang Baoqiang ran toward the other side of the actor rest area with small steps amidst the envious gazes of the extras.
A distance of just a few dozen meters.
Was actually run by this guy with a fine sweat.
After stopping, he didn't speak, just grinned foolishly.
"Sit."
Li Luo pulled over two actor chairs and sat down.
"I won't sit, Brother, you sit." His head turned quickly, and Baoqiang asked with concern: "Brother, is your head okay?"
"Your head is the one that's not okay."
This sentence made Li Luo couldn't help but retort, picking up a slice of watermelon from the side and handing it over:
"If I tell you to sit, sit, stop talking nonsense."
"Hey."
Baoqiang's dark face flushed, and he wiped his hands on his body in a flurry.
After taking the watermelon.
He carefully leaned half his butt against the chair.
This was an experience he had never had before, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
This treatment was all seen by the extras; pairs of eyes seemed to glow green; where could extras eat fruit!
Having a mouthful of boiled water was already not bad!
It was already April, and the afternoon sun was becoming scorching.
Even hiding in the shade of a tree, it was hot.
Seeing Wang Baoqiang bite into the watermelon with a crunch, the extra leader could clearly hear the sound of people swallowing saliva one after another beside him.
"Is it sweet?"
Li Luo ate the watermelon slowly.
It wasn't in season yet, so it didn't have much taste; it was purely for quenching thirst.
"Sweet!"
Baoqiang quickly swallowed the melon juice and nodded heavily.
"As long as it's sweet."
Li Luo looked at Baoqiang, who was thin and had a bit of plateau red on his face, and raised his eyebrows: "Being an extra is bitter, but as long as you endure it, the sweet days are all ahead."
"Hmm."
Baoqiang grinned foolishly.
Now he was completely dazed, not knowing what to say.
"Brother."
Seeing Li Luo eating melon with his head down, he couldn't help but ask: "Why are you so good to me?"
When he was young, he was a lay disciple at Shaolin Temple, and later he drifted in Beijing.
Extras, stunt doubles, odd jobs at construction sites.
To have enough to eat.
He had done all kinds of work.
Regarding the warmth and coldness of human relationships, he experienced more coldness and very little warmth.
A chair, a slice of watermelon.
Made him feel warm in his heart; the fruit that Li Luo felt was bland and tasteless.
In Baoqiang's mouth.
Was really as sweet as honey water!
Li Luo smiled: "You're from the countryside, right?"
"Yes, I am."
Wiping the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, Baoqiang spoke quickly: "Brother Luo, how did you guess so accurately? My name is Wang Baoqiang, from Dahui Tower Village, Nanhe, Xingtai."
"Me too."
Seeing him still wanting to talk, Li Luo handed him another piece of melon.
"Ah?"
Baoqiang's mouth was wide open, asking in surprise: "Brother, are you also from our Xingtai? I can't hear the accent!"
"I'm also from the countryside."
Li Luo flicked his forehead and said angrily: "Two years ago, I was also an extra in Hengdian; seeing you is like seeing myself, so I asked you over to chat."
"Hehe."
Baoqiang rubbed his head and laughed foolishly again.
After opening the conversation, he couldn't help but ask about Li Luo's time as an extra.
Hearing that the other party had also been lying on the ground as a corpse like him, eating boxed lunches with a few vegetables, and wearing dirty and smelly extra clothes, Baoqiang felt a sense of closeness to Li Luo.
"Brother, you are really strong."
He looked at the clothes on Li Luo with envy: "Now you're a lead!"
"You'll have a day like this too."
Li Luo patted Baoqiang's shoulder and said earnestly: "Maintain your true self; I believe life won't treat you badly. Since you can call me Brother, Brother will leave you a number."
"If you encounter any difficulties or can't find work, you can call me."
This is a good and very pure person.
Since he met him!
Then before the dawn comes, Li Luo doesn't mind giving him some light. ===== CHAPTER 58 =====
