Chapter 524 The smell of vinegar

Ruan Lin was very curious about Li Luo.

Before meeting Li Luo offline, Ruan Lin had already heard of Li Luo's name.

But it was only in the "Singer" program I watched before. Because of Yuan Wanqing's new album, I heard the name "Rekindle", but I didn't care much about it.

Most people don’t care much about the creator of a song. It’s good enough to know who sings the song.

After that, I learned from my mother that the work I was about to audition for was also written by a writer called Chongran.

After learning more about it, I found out that this Chongran and the Chongran who wrote songs for Yuan Wanqing seem to be the same person.

and……

This is someone about her age.

It is said that in addition to the novel "Little Joy" whose copyright has been sold, Chongran is also serializing an extremely long online novel, which is also performing very well.

Almost a year has passed since the end of "Singer" in October last year, and some popular songs still emerge from time to time in the entertainment industry.

If you look closely at the origins of these songs, you will find the presence of Junran.

However, compared to Yuan Wanqing's previous pioneering effort of having nine new songs in her new album, Reignite has been much more low-key in the follow-up and has not done anything particularly eye-catching.

But after Ruan Lin's deliberate and in-depth understanding, she still discovered the exaggeration of Rekindled.

Such an achievement is quite acceptable even for a young man in his twenties.

But for a teenager like Li Luo who is not even 18 years old, it seems extremely outrageous.

With such a curious mentality, after the crew started filming, Ruan Lin found a gap, held the crumpled script in her arms, sat down next to Li Luo, and asked carefully.

Li Luo didn't think much about it. Seeing that she really spread out the script and asked a few questions about the plot, he thought she was sincerely asking for advice.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Qiao Yingzi's mother is very controlling. She is always nitpicking about her daughter's studies and won't stop until she gets first place. She also has disagreements about her daughter's college choices."

"But as a single mother, she did try her best to support her family and devoted herself to raising her daughter."

"That is to say, her original intention was good, and as a daughter, Qiao Yingzi also knew that her mother loved her."

"But this kind of love is too suffocating. It is completely different from the life and university she longs for in her heart."

"But her love and understanding for her mother prevented her from speaking her true feelings to her face."

"Yeah." Ruan Lin nodded thoughtfully, and took out a pen very seriously, writing down Li Luo's suggestions on the script, "Then Mr. Chongran, do you think there is anything I can improve in the scene I filmed today?"

"The scenes on the first day were all very simple, nothing much to say." Li Luo shook his head, "Relax during normal filming. You are a high school student, so just show the youthful look that a high school student should have. Only the later scenes with intense conflicts need more thought."

After Li Luo’s online writing failed in his previous life, he devoted himself to the field of short dramas.

Although it was a disastrous failure, I learned a lot of experience and lessons.

However, short dramas are more about being short, flat and fast, and their shooting logic is not exactly the same as that of TV dramas.

Li Luo could only give Ruan Lin some targeted suggestions based on the content and images of "Little Joy" that he had watched in his previous life.

But the one who truly controls the content of the shooting still has to be director Wang Jun.

After the script was finalized and director Wang Jun was moving forward normally without making any major revisions to the script content, Li Luo did not want to interfere too much with Wang Jun's filming work.

It's just that he's still on summer vacation, and apart from typing and spending time with his three girls at home, he doesn't have much to do every day, so it's a good opportunity for him to hang out in the crew and learn about the experience of TV series shooting.

"how do you feel?"

In the afternoon, another part of the filming was completed and there was a break for adjustment. Director Wang Jun strolled over to Li Luo, sat down, and looked at the young man next to him with a smile.

Li Luo nodded: "It's quite interesting and novel."

"Today's arrangements are all simple plays." Wang Jun took out a cigarette and gestured to Li Luo. When he saw Li Luo nod, he took out a lighter, lit it, and took a slow puff. "You don't smoke, do you?"

"Yeah." Li Luo glanced at the cigarette in Wang Jun's mouth and was subconsciously moved, but quickly suppressed the thought.

After his short drama in his previous life failed, he became addicted to smoking due to the stress and has been smoking for several years.

Later, when Lin Xiuhong fell ill, Li Luo gritted his teeth and quit smoking, thinking that every penny saved was a penny earned.

After my rebirth, I don’t want to get involved in this stuff anymore.

Just seeing the scene of Wang Jun smoking in the studio still made Li Luo feel a little sad.

"There are several important scenes later." Li Luo looked at Wang Jun and asked curiously, "When will they be filmed?"

"I prefer to use a simple plot to cultivate the tacit understanding between the actors first, and then arrange the scenes with more intense emotions as appropriate." Wang Jun took a puff of cigarette and lowered his head to consider, "The veteran actors are fine, but the young ones are still relatively green, so we have to wait until the emotions are in place before we can talk about it."

"If the scenes I mentioned earlier are scheduled to be filmed, please let Director Wang know in advance." Li Luo said, "I want to see it live."

"Okay, no problem." Wang Jun said with a smile, "Your script is very much to my liking. I promise to film it for you in its original form."

"Thank you for your hard work, Director Wang." Li Luo stretched out his hand and shook hands with Wang Jun. "It's a pleasure to work with you."

"Pleasant to work with."

……

“So this is what a photo studio looks like?”

On August 8, Xu Youyu followed Li Luo to the industrial park in the north of Yuhang City and walked into the studio shooting base contracted by the "Little Joy" crew.

Although he didn't plan to write a book about entertainment for the next one, Xu Youyu still took the time to follow Li Luo for a visit out of curiosity about the circle.

"This is the actors' dressing room and dressing room." Li Luo led her in and introduced them with ease, "The prop room, the utility room, over there is the conference room and editing room, and there is a monitoring room in the back."

After passing through this room, Li Luo brought Xu Youyu to the set, and the scene in front of him suddenly became clear.

Xu Youyu looked up at the green screens around him, as well as the various cameras and lighting equipment, and his eyes immediately showed amazement.

Finally, her eyes fell on the interior scene that had just been set up in the front left.

"Is this the protagonist's home?" Xu Youyu blinked. Having watched Little Joy, she quickly realized, "This is just a kitchen and half a living room?"

"The rest will be processed with green screen and special effects in post-production." Li Luo explained, "The audience's perspective will be focused on the characters, and their attention will be distracted from the surrounding environment. Some special effects will be enough."

"So this is how they shoot." Xu Youyu's eyes sparkled and he walked around the set with great interest.

Seeing that she was very interested, Li Luo followed her around and sat in his usual empty seat, ready to watch the next scene being filmed. At this moment, Ruan Lin, who had just finished filming this morning, came over, still holding her script, and came to Li Luo to humbly ask for advice.

After Li Luo finished expressing his views on part of the plot, he noticed that Xu Youyu had returned from the set up in front and was sitting on the other side of him, looking at him with a smile on his face.

Ruan Lin was called to make up for the scene and hurriedly said goodbye. Li Luo looked at Xu Youyu's smiling face and couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing." Xu Youyu laughed twice, stood up and came behind Li Luo, kneading his neck with both hands, "Our teacher Chongran is really hardworking and diligent. He looks so handsome when he is working seriously~"

Li Luo: "...Are you overthinking this?"

"I didn't even tell you what I was thinking, how dare you conclude that I was overthinking?" Xu Youyu sneered, but the strength in his hands didn't seem to decrease at all.

"I am the worm in your stomach. I know what you are thinking." Li Luo said shamelessly.

"Really?" Xu Youyu relaxed his grip a little. "Then what do you think I'm thinking about now?"

"Three aren't enough? If you add one more, I'll strangle you to death right now." Li Luo said tentatively.

"puff……"

Xu Youyu was instantly amused by him. He put his hands on his shoulders and knocked his head on the back of his neck, shaking.

Then she buried her head in his neck and couldn't help but whispered, "You really can say that?"

"I only dare to say some things when I am alone with Sister Youyu." Li Luo said softly, "I am greedy enough, but I am also very content."

"Humph." Xu Youyu let go of him completely and sat back in the empty seat next to Li Luo. "You're taking advantage of me. You've taken all the benefits."

Li Luo coughed and the topic was temporarily dropped.

At noon, the crew distributed lunch boxes. Driven by Xu Youyu's curiosity, Li Luo accompanied her to get an ordinary lunch box to experience the working meals in the crew.

After Ruan Lin got her lunch box, she came to Li Luo and her eyes fell on Xu Youyu, who was also beautiful and had a better figure than her. Then she whispered to Li Luo:

"Teacher Chongran, this is..."

"She is my daughter..."

"I'm his senior." Xu Youyu interrupted what Li Luo was about to say with a smile, "I was curious about how the crew works, so I asked him to take me to have a look."

"So that's how it is." Ruan Lin nodded suddenly, then smiled politely, "If you have anything you want to know, you can ask me. As long as I'm not filming, I'm always available."

"Okay, thank you."

……

In the afternoon, Xu Youyu stayed for a while and then said goodbye and went to the driving school.

She is currently working on the third subject and plans to get her driver's license before school starts, so time is still very tight.

Li Luo stayed here until around four o'clock in the afternoon before saying goodbye to Director Wang and leaving and returning to Bi Hai Lan Ting.

As a result, after practicing Subject 3 in the afternoon, Xu Youyu returned home and shared his experiences of the day with his two good sisters during dinner with a smile on his face.

The next day, there was a scene between Qiao Yingzi and her mother, and Li Luo wanted to watch it, so he prepared to go to the studio again. Ying Chanxi immediately said that he liked the role of Qiao Yingzi very much and wanted to go and see it too.

Li Luo took her with him without thinking much.

So Ying Chanxi followed Li Luo the whole time without stopping.

Ruan Lin noticed that the girl next to Li Luo had changed. Her eyes became suspicious and she curiously asked about Ying Chanxi's identity.

"Me?" Ying Chanxi glanced at Li Luo and said with a smile, "I'm his sister."

Two more days passed.

Li Luo went to the studio again.

This time it's Yan Zhusheng's turn.

"Those TV drama theme songs and interludes you wrote for me." Yan Zhusheng said seriously, "I think watching the actors perform live can help me sing out that feeling better."

Considering Yan Zhusheng's lack of emotional experience in singing, Li Luo felt that what she said made sense, so he nodded and agreed, and took her to the studio.

Ruan Lin felt a little numb when she found that there was another beautiful girl next to Li Luo.

"Teacher Chongran, this is..."

"I'm his sister." Yan Zhusheng blinked.

Ruan Lin always felt something was weird but couldn't put it into words. She just remembered that she seemed to have seen this girl before at the first dinner party of the crew. At that time, she seemed to have said that she was going to sing the theme song for the TV series?

"Well...she came to the scene to find inspiration for singing." Li Luo explained simply.

Ruan Lin nodded, thinking that two of the girls were his sisters, and one was a senior. Even if they were not in that relationship, it still made Ruan Lin feel a little stressed.

She was actually quite confident about her appearance, but in front of Yan Zhusheng and the other two, she really didn't have the confidence.

So when she once again came to Li Luo with the script for advice, Yan Zhusheng's direct and soul-searching question left her stunned on the spot.

"So you like my brother?" Yan Zhusheng sat on the other side of Li Luo and tilted his head to look at Ruan Lin.

At this moment, Ruan Lin was stunned.

Fortunately, as an actress, she had a pretty good on-the-spot reaction ability, and she managed a smile: "Teacher Chongran is very good, and helped me a lot in the crew. I am very grateful to him."

"So you don't like it?" Yan Zhusheng asked again.

“That’s not what I meant…” Ruan Lin waved her hands quickly.

"This is a problem with the filming of the plot." Yan Zhusheng ignored what she said and continued, "You should ask the director, right? It's not Li Luo who is filming, why do you always look for him?"

"He is the author of the original novel... and also the screenwriter of the script..." Ruan Lin was left hesitant by Yan Zhusheng's series of questions.

Li Luo was a little amused at this time, and finally realized what had happened between Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng the last two times.

So after this trip, unless it was a particularly important plot shoot, Li Luo would still come and bring Ying Chanxi and the others along, otherwise he would no longer hang out on the set.

When the time came to August 8, Xu Youyu returned home happily, hugged Li Luo, and said happily: "I passed the third test! Come with me to buy a car~"
