"Invite us to dinner?" Xiaoqiang couldn't help but be stunned after hearing Leng Xiaoxuan's words again.
"Yes, thank you for your care during this period. To express my gratitude, I would like to eat with you." Leng Xiaoxuan nodded, blinked her shining eyes, and said sincerely.
"Um... I still have some things to deal with tonight, so I won't go." Xiaoqiang raised his head and took a look at Leng Xiaoxuan's expression, and found that although the invitation to dinner was made, it was Leng Xiaoxuan who treated them both.
People said that, but her attention was completely focused on Li Xiao, and there seemed to be a faint emotion flowing around.
Xiaoqiang is not a fool. On the contrary, after becoming Quiba, he has extremely high intelligence and is particularly sensitive to the fluctuations of human emotions. After thinking about it for a moment, he certainly understands the reason. Leng Xiaoxuan really wants to invite
It's Li Xiao.
Therefore, after figuring out the joints, Xiaoqiang quickly declined Leng Xiaoxuan's invitation on the grounds that he had something to do. Although he was always by Li Xiao's side, he did not have the habit of being a light bulb.
"Ah, what a pity... As for Li Xiao, you shouldn't even give me a chance to thank you." At this time, Leng Xiaoxuan's soft eyes fell on Li Xiao and she said timidly.
"Actually, I didn't hand you anything. Even if you are brought in by the master, the practice still depends on the individual, and it is only through your own efforts that you have improved your acting skills. However, I have more free time at night, so
I'd rather be respectful than obey." Facing Leng Xiaoxuan's burning gaze, she said with a slight smile.
He has always noticed Leng Xiaoxuan's efforts. The reason why she has made such a huge improvement in her acting skills is inseparable from his understanding and hard work. However, since the other party has invited her in this way, then he
He no longer hesitated and readily agreed.
"Then I'll leave first if I have something to do. You guys have fun." Seeing the right opportunity, Xiaoqiang used the escape technique and took the lead to escape. Before leaving, he gave Li Xiao a meaningful smile,
Li Xiao couldn't help but give the other party a roll of his eyes.
"Li Xiao, since my salary hasn't come in yet, I may not be able to treat you to a big dinner. I think you won't mind if I open a stove in the rental house, right?"
"Just a simple meal." Li Xiao has eaten a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but he prefers ordinary home-cooked stir-fries.
"My rental house is nearby. Before that, let's go to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables."
"OK."
…
…
In this way, the two of them walked and chatted. When passing by the vegetable market, they went shopping inside, bought a few vegetables, passed through an alley, and walked along the narrow road of the old street for more than ten minutes. Finally, they came to
Arrive at the place where Leng Xiaoxuan lives.
With a creak, the rusty iron door was pushed open.
Li Xiao looked around and saw that this was an old community in the southeast corner of the film and television city. Most of the houses here were relatively low and had mottled walls. Most of the surface paint had fallen off, revealing the bricks inside.
Come, a few innocent children are playing and playing in the alley.
The sky is getting late in winter very quickly. At this time, night has fallen, and it is time to eat. You can faintly hear the sound of stir-frying from the surrounding residents' homes, and even the air is filled with the aroma of vegetables.
the taste of.
"Although this place is a bit rough, the landlord is very nice and takes great care of me. I have lived in this rental house for three years..." In the dark and narrow stairway, Leng Xiaoxuan told Li Xiao about life here
days, but my face is filled with a happy smile.
After Li Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but nodded secretly.
It turns out that Leng Xiaoxuan has always had a dream of becoming a star. After graduating from the Academy of Performing Arts, she came to Ancheng Film and Television Base with her dream in mind. In order to get more acting opportunities, she lived in this simple rental house.
I have been living here for three years.
The road of being an actor is very difficult. There are big stars who are shining brightly in the spotlight and dominate the limelight, but there are more small roles struggling at the bottom.
Only among thousands of small characters can there be a chance for a big star to appear. As the saying goes, one general can achieve great success. On this road, many people have given up early or looked for other ways out.
, but the girl in front of me has been on this road for three years and seems to be very perseverant.
…
…
On the fourth floor, Leng Xiaoxuan stopped in front of a rental house. Li Xiao also stopped and looked around. It seemed that this was where she lived.
Just when Leng Xiaoxuan was about to take out the keys from her bag, there was a sound of footsteps in the rental house, the door handle clicked, and a pale face emerged from the crack in the door.
The long shawl hair set off the pale face peeking out from the house, and the dim light in the corridor made people shudder.
If he had been a timid person, he would have been frightened and fainted on the spot. However, fortunately, Li Xiao remained calm and calm.
"Linlin, why are you looking like this? It scares me to death." Leng Xiaoxuan's pretty face changed and she almost screamed.
"I'm going out on a date later, so I'll put on a facial mask first. Is this your... friend?" "Female Ghost" spoke to Leng Xiaoxuan, and at the same time pointed at Li Xiao behind her and asked.
"Well, he is my friend Li Xiao who is on the same crew as me. I specially invited him to my house for dinner today." Leng Xiaoxuan's eyes curled into a pair of crescent moons.
"Li Xiao, this is my roommate and best friend Tang Lin." Leng Xiaoxuan gave a brief introduction to both parties.
"Hello." Li Xiao smiled slightly at Tang Lin as a greeting.
"So we're from the same crew, come in." Tang Lin just glanced at Li Xiao lightly, then walked into the rental house again.
Walking into the house with Leng Xiaoxuan, Li Xiao's eyes flickered and he took this opportunity to look at the rental house.
A rental house of fifty square meters has one bedroom and one living room. Although the area is relatively small and even simple, items such as clothing, furniture and electrical appliances have been neatly packed by the two girls.
The warm pink color inside also looks very warm.
There are also many posters posted on the walls. In addition to some popular singers or actors, most of them are artistic photos of themselves, either playful and cute or cool and generous, which are the characteristics of each.
There is a guitar hanging on Tang Lin's bed, and there are sheet music and music master tapes everywhere on her desk. It seems that she is engaged in music-related work?
…
…
"Li Xiao, you are free to do as you like, I will prepare the cooking first."
"Just keep it simple."
After bringing a glass of water to Li Xiao, Leng Xiaoxuan carried the dishes and got into the kitchen to work. Li Xiao was admiring Leng Xiaoxuan's photo wall with great interest, which was all taken by Leng Xiaoxuan.
Various stills.
However, unlike those glamorous brocade clothes, they are all relatively ordinary costumes. It can be seen that the roles she played before were all minor or insignificant roles.
But even so, with her appearance, no matter how ordinary the costume is, she still looks quite eye-catching, there is no doubt about this.
At this time, Tang Lin had already applied the facial mask, dressed up, put on exquisite makeup, wore beautiful clothes, and was carrying a bright red baby. It looked like she was about to go out.
At this time, Li Xiao also took a look at Tang Lin, who had taken off her mask, and found that her face was pretty, but compared to the pure and charming Leng Xiaoxuan, it was a bit inferior.
"Linlin, why don't you have dinner with us? I bought several dishes today. You haven't tasted my cooking for a long time, right?" Leng Xiaoxuan heard Tang Lin preparing to go out, and came from the kitchen.
He stuck his head out to persuade me to stay and said.
You know, in normal times, both of them live a simple life. It was rare to buy more vegetables today, so Leng Xiaoxuan also wanted Tang Lin to try her craftsmanship together.
"No, my boyfriend invited me to eat high-end Western food today." Tang Lin shook her head and refused. She lowered her head and was silent for a while. There was a complicated look in her eyes and she said in a low tone: "Also...I won't be back tonight.
I won’t come back again. You live here alone. You can keep the music scores and master tapes on the table for your own enjoyment, or you can dispose of them as junk for me."
"What, have you really made up your mind?" Leng Xiaoxuan's eyes were stunned, with an expression of disbelief: "Are you really going to give up on your music dream like this?!"
Tang Lin sneered and said: "Haha, what kind of dream is just a delusion compared with the cruel reality, Xiaoxuan, it has been three years, we have been working together for three years, but in the end, our dream did not come true, and life
There has been no improvement. We are still living in such a shanty town, and there is no hope for the future. Xiaoxuan, I advise you to give up this so-called dream as soon as possible. People should still be realistic."
"I'm leaving, please take care of yourself." Tang Lin took a deep look at Leng Xiaoxuan and the house. The reluctance in her eyes flashed away. She immediately closed the door and left without looking back.
Leng Xiaoxuan looked at the figure that disappeared behind the door, and was lost in thought. She didn't come back to her senses for a long time. When she saw this scene, Li Xiao was also thoughtful.
…
…
An hour later, steam was rising from the dining table in the rental house.
Braised eggplant, spicy cabbage, fish-flavored shredded pork, Mapo tofu and other dishes that are full of color, flavor and flavor are all spread out on the table. Just looking at these foods in front of you can make you very appetizing.
Although Li Xiao has experienced many planes and has eaten delicacies from both mountains and seas, it must be said that Leng Xiaoxuan's cooking skills are quite good. Although it is just a few ordinary home-cooked stir-fry dishes,
The rice was served with rice, but it also had a unique taste. Li Xiao devoured two bowls in a row, leaving a fragrant aroma on his cheeks and teeth, and the meal was quite enjoyable.
On the other hand, Leng Xiaoxuan, who was opposite her, was moving her chopsticks bit by bit. She hadn't taken a few bites of food for a long time, and she looked restless.
"Why, are you still thinking about your bestie?" Li Xiao put down his chopsticks, looked at Leng Xiaoxuan's expression, and asked.
Leng Xiaoxuan's dazed eyes seemed to be still immersed in the memories of the past. She sighed slightly and said: "It's been three years. The two of us have lived in this small rental house for three years. Tang Lin's dream is
Becoming a successful singer, and I also dreamed of becoming an actor. At that time, we both vowed to realize our dreams. We imagined that we could work together. I would play the heroine in a movie, and she would
I'm here to sing the theme song of the movie, and the two of us will join hands to create our own future together."
"We have also been fighting for our dreams for three years. In the past three years, we have shared the joys and sorrows and experienced a lot, but we still stumbled. Three months ago, Tang Lin met her now rich second-generation boyfriend. She is passionate about her dreams.
, it has also been reduced a lot.”
Seeing Leng Xiaoxuan's expression in his eyes, Li Xiao also lamented: "Yes, a dream is really a very beautiful thing. It is full of hope and can make people work hard, just like a shining star.
The pearl makes people pursue it crazily.
But the reality is not what is shown in those inspirational movies and TV dramas. The reality is often very cruel. As time goes by, the pearl called dream becomes farther and farther away from people, even when it is covered with dust,
Under the pressure of reality, many people will have to make compromises."
Just like Li Xiao, he used to be a bit player in Anseong Film and Television Base and was one of thousands of bit actors. He had imagined many times that if he didn't have the big red envelope system, what would be his fate now?
How is it? Maybe, he is still a bit player in the crew, plain and unremarkable.
…
…
The competition in the entertainment industry is very fierce. Many film and television companies only support a few stars. If you want to become famous, it is like having to cross a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops.
There are many people who have dreams, but in the end, there are only a handful of people who can actually persevere and turn their dreams into reality.
After Tang Lin lost the confidence in her dream, she chose to run towards his rich second-generation boyfriend and choose another way to continue her life. This is understandable. Even if she forgets her original intention, it is her own business, so
, Li Xiao will not look at Tang Lin with colored glasses. After all, everyone has their own choice, and this cannot be forced.
"Li Xiao, do you think I can realize my dream?" At this time, Leng Xiaoxuan's eyes showed a trace of confusion. What she said seemed to be asking Li Xiao, but also seemed to be asking herself.
What Tang Lin said when she left, and then thinking about the past years, even Leng Xiaoxuan was a little shaken.
"You will not realize your dream." Li Xiao gave a negative answer, and then asked with a chuckle: "Will you give up on your dream if I say this, or do other people's opinions really matter?
is more important than your own heart?"
After listening to Li Xiao's words, Leng Xiaoxuan couldn't help but feel something in her heart. She nodded slightly and began to ask herself whether she was really willing to give up her dream. She shook her head almost subconsciously.
When she raised her head again, the confusion in her beautiful eyes had disappeared, and her expression became more determined: "I think I understand what to do."
The dream in her heart is not to become a big star as dazzling as under the spotlight, but to become a real actor who can truly successfully shape characters and interpret various aspects of life.
Over the years, she has been working hard to stick to this path of being an actress. It has even become a belief that is engraved in her bones. Therefore, the thought of giving up has fleetingly passed through her mind.
.
At this time, when Li Xiao saw the heartfelt determination and smile in the other person's eyes, he already knew the other person's answer.
Sure enough, Leng Xiaoxuan is much more persistent in her dream than Tang Lin, otherwise she would not have persevered despite Xu Yuan's reprimands and doubts, nor would she spend more than ten hours a day studying and learning acting skills. She would rather save money and save money.
She also wants to take acting courses, which shows that she is still very persistent in her dream.
"Now I understand." Leng Xiaoxuan looked grateful.
Li Xiao smiled calmly: "So, often you don't need to care too much about other people's opinions. You should pay more attention to your own heart."
He once had a dream of being an actor, and worked as a bit player for several years, putting in a lot of effort. Looking back at that time, he still has no regrets, and even smiles knowingly, just like Mr. Xing
As I said, if a person has no dreams, what is the difference between him and a salted fish? Since there are thousands of ways to live in life, then why should you worry about other people's opinions instead of choosing the ideal one in your heart?
What about a road?
Li Xiao thought in his heart.
After some words, the gloom in Leng Xiaoxuan's eyes cleared away, and the atmosphere opened up. When the two chatted about some interesting things that happened on the set, they both couldn't help laughing.
…
…
After chatting for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Li Xiao was about to say goodbye and leave. Leng Xiaoxuan also insisted on going downstairs to see him off.
In the sky outside, pieces of snowflakes are falling down like goose feathers. Under the soft beam of street lights, they look colorful and beautiful. There is already a thin layer of snow on the ground and on the roofs of houses. The silvery snowflakes are falling down like goose feathers.
It was wrapped in white, like a huge snow-white carpet, and it showed signs of getting thicker and thicker. A cool breeze blew across the earth carrying a chilly air.
"It's snowing."
Leng Xiaoxuan was jumping up and down excitedly. This was the first snow since the beginning of winter this year. It was particularly beautiful. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes like autumn water. Although it was snowing outside, in Li
Next to Xiao, she didn't feel the cold at all, and was even surprisingly warm?
If Leng Xiaoxuan observed carefully, she would have discovered that when the goose-feather-like snowflakes were falling and were a few feet away from her and Li Xiao's heads, those snowflakes would instantly melt away and become completely invisible.
, as if their bodies were wrapped in an invisible wall of heat.
"Thank you for your hospitality today, let's stop here." When they arrived at a street intersection, Li Xiao smiled slightly and said to Leng Xiaoxuan, indicating that she didn't need to give him away anymore.
Leng Xiaoxuan paused. She slowly raised her head. Her jewel-like crystal clear eyes looked towards Li Xiao with tenderness. Her long curly eyelashes trembled slightly and said, "It should be me."
I want to thank you for helping me improve my acting skills and for guiding me when I was confused..."
Now, she had a very strange feeling in her heart. It was as if at this moment, although there was heavy snow in the sky, she felt warm and cozy next to Li Xiao. During this period of time, she had been in contact with Li Xiao.
She had always had this heart-warming feeling, which was like a warm vortex, making her almost sink, and her throbbing heart was beating loudly.
"These are nothing, we are not friends."
"etc."
Seeing Leng Xiaoxuan's hesitant expression, Li Xiao felt a little confused and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
A blush flashed across Leng Xiaoxuan's cheeks. She didn't dare to look directly at Li Xiao. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke in a low voice like a mosquito: "You... have a girlfriend?"
girlfriend?
After Li Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but feel his heart condense. This term seemed to have been sealed in his memory for a long time. Ren Tingting in the "Mr. Zombie" plane, Claire in the "Death is Coming" plane, or Xu Fei, there are many
Familiar faces appeared in his mind one by one, making him filled with emotions.
Li Xiao has interacted with many people, but he has no answer in his heart as to what the final result will be. In various movie planes, no matter how tough the enemy is, Li Xiao always kills
He is decisive and has never retreated. But only when facing feelings, he often hesitates.
The lineage of martial arts is not only the strength of the physical body, but also the tempering of the mind. If you want to become the supreme strong man, you must not be distracted by your heart, not trapped by emotions, not afraid of the future, and not think about the past. You can only be careful
Only when one is truly strong and unencumbered can one cultivate an extraordinary Taoist heart. However, there are some things that, the more you don't want to pay attention to them, they will always appear in your mind inadvertently and are difficult to forget.
Li Xiao still can't figure out what the so-called love is, leaving all kinds of regrets behind. Thinking of this, Li Xiao couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and left without responding to Leng Xiaoxuan.
Seeing Li Xiao turn and leave, Leng Xiaoxuan couldn't help but be stunned.
Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, what does this mean? Could it be that he doesn’t have a boyfriend yet?!
"In other words, I still have a chance now."
Leng Xiaoxuan couldn't help but feel her heart beat. There was secret emotion in her clear eyes, and two intoxicating blushes spread on her delicate cheeks.
…
…
After that, the crew of "Dragon Blade" went to Fezhou for filming. The process was very smooth. With everyone's joint efforts, all the scenes were filmed in two months.
It is worth mentioning that when passing through a sea area, the ship rented by the crew encountered pirates. However, before these pirates could show off their evil, Xiaoqiang secretly cast a spell, pretending to be a wave that swept away the pirates. The crew's
Other staff members also broke into cold sweats.
Fortunately, the filming process was not disrupted, and all the scenes were completed within the scheduled time.
Next comes the tedious work of film editing, character dubbing, special effects processing, etc.
At the same time, Li Xiao also continued to practice. After two months of practice, his panel attributes had become:
Strength:10.3
Physical strength: 9.8
Agility:10.1
Wisdom:10.4
Martial arts realm: Grandmaster!
Possessed skills: Cantonese proficiency level 3, painting skill level 7, wall walking skill: full level, firearms proficiency level 5, Xiao Li flying knife level 8, basic spell proficiency: level 9, corpse refining skill: level 6, corpse control skill:
Level 7. Mastery of Basic Physics and Technology: Level 3. Ladder of Clouds: Level 7. Tai Chi Internal Strength: Level 8. Tianshuang Fist: Full Level, Cloud Dispelling Palm: Level 7, Fengshen Legs: Level 10, Bingxin Jue: Level 8
Kirin arms, sand jars, shark teardrops, skull island, sacred dragon veins, spiritual branches, masks and magic tools, and soul-calling flags!
Consumable props: Parabell pistol bullets (twenty-six), various talismans, and improved super serum.
Back in the "Wind and Cloud" plane, when Li Xiao was studying under Sanjue's sect, the old man Sanjue had already explained to Li Xiao the realm of martial arts. After the realm of martial arts grandmaster, it is the golden elixir realm. It can be said that,
This is also a very critical step!
In the realm of golden elixir, what is pursued is the stability after the heartbeat. When the golden elixir of martial arts is reached, the physical body has reached its perfection. It can transform into shapes, the power of spells is greatly increased, and the appearance is permanent. When cultivating life, the heart is like water. Stable fluctuations are the step into
The prerequisite for the Golden Elixir stage. The martial arts that reach this level are enough to be called powerful Golden Elixir warriors, and their lifespan will also be greatly increased. The ancients said that the "Golden Elixir Dao" refers to a perfect Taoist practice. There are thirty-three levels in heaven.
, the elixir has three colors: golden light shines in the world, purple light is dense, and colorless. Anyone who seeks the elixir will have a perfect state of mind. Practitioners in the golden elixir stage have not only a perfect state of mind, but also a "fearless heart"
The golden elixir of "the world is turbid".
Therefore, if one wants to advance to the golden elixir realm from the Grand Master realm, it is not so much about tempering the physical body as it is about perfecting the Taoist heart, that is, tempering one's own character.
…
…
Xiaoyao Villa.
After practicing for three weeks, Li Xiao exhaled a breath of turbid air, like a white streak. He walked into the bathroom, washed away the dirt from his body after washing the menstrual marrow, and suddenly felt comfortable all over his body.
, full of qi and blood.
After walking out of the bathroom, wrapped in a bathrobe, Li Xiao lay on the soft bed, stretched out comfortably, took out his mobile phone, and after looking at the latest message he received, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
smile.
Finally, after two months, the post-production of the movie "Dragon Blade" has been completed. This also means that as long as the movie's schedule is confirmed, it can be moved to theaters and meet the audience.
.
"Since everything is settled in the later stage, it depends on Xuanfa." Li Xiao rubbed his chin and thought about it in his mind.
The box office of a movie is mainly composed of software and hardware. Needless to say, the hardware refers to the quality of the movie, its storyline, and its director's skills, all of which are included in the finished product of the movie.
At this time, since the film production is completed, the hardware of the film is already completed and cannot be changed.
Now, all he can think of is software, that is, the promotion and distribution of the movie. This is related to the promotion of the movie and the box office. In many cases, it is directly proportional to the audience's expectations for a movie.
After pondering for a moment, Li Xiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, turned on his mobile phone, and set his sights on the official blog of the movie "Dragon Blade". With a few clicks of his fingers, he had already entered a blog.
In an era of rapid information flow, there is no doubt about the influence of a small amount. If it can be used properly, it will play a great role in the promotion of the movie.
…
…
Soon, the official blog of the "Dragon Blade" movie issued a new blog.
"The movie "Dragon Blade" is about to be released, and we are holding a special event to guess the box office and win prizes. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event. There is no such store like this in this village!"
This meager content is also very clear.
As long as netizens guess the final box office of the movie "Dragon Blade" and leave comments below, they will be able to win corresponding prizes.
Those whose box office guesses are accurate to hundreds of digits will be rewarded with a "Xiaofei" maglev skateboard, with a quota of 300; those whose box office guesses are accurate to single digits, will be rewarded with a "Xiao Fei" limited edition maglev skateboard, with a quota of 50!
This memo was registered two months ago. Because it was Xu Yuan's new movie, it initially attracted hundreds of thousands of fans. When this memo was posted, it instantly attracted their attention.
, and soon, after just a quarter of an hour of being ignored, this meager post was wildly liked, commented and forwarded!
Soon, a small trace appeared, which was like a huge boulder causing huge ripples on the network.
"Is it so showy?"
"6666666."
"It was sent here by a link sent by a classmate. Can anyone tell me what happened here?"
"Here, these prizes are worth 10 million in total, right? I want to see what kind of movie this is. Even the way it is promoted is so inhumane!"
"Haha, this is not bad. It is a capital-free business. There is no cost. It just depends on luck. If you are lucky, the grand prize will be yours!"
"There is such a good thing, so why are you hesitating? Let me take advantage of it first. I guess the box office should be 3.59715126!"
"It turns out this is director Xu Yuan's new movie. It's a theme movie. It looks good. I support Director Xu!"
"I'll take a guess too. I've estimated over a hundred possibilities. Anyway, it doesn't mention that you can't guess multiple times."
"50 limited edition maglev skateboards? I remember that Zhichuang Company only released a total of 10,000 units at the time, but this crew was able to release 50 units. It is really a big deal."
"I don't know how the movie is going to be, but this way of promoting it is really conscientious. It's pretty awesome."
…
As long as you guess the box office, you will have a chance to get rewards, and there is no limit to the number of times.
Let’s look at the prizes. Maglev skateboards, as a very hot high-tech transportation product at the moment, are priced at more than 30,000 yuan per unit. Some scalpers have sold them for 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, and the limited edition ones are even more precious.
The price is priceless, because it is so precious that even if it costs 300,000 yuan, someone will probably be willing to buy it!
And it’s just a matter of posting a comment, it doesn’t cost anything, and it’s simply a good thing with huge profits.
The total quota is 350. Although compared with the huge number of netizens, this number is relatively small, but as long as you start quickly and guess a lot, the chances are still relatively high!
This meager post attracted a lot of comments. In just one hour, the number of comments reached 720,000. If you want to comment, you must first pay attention to the meager settings of "Dragon Blade". Therefore, the number of fans has also increased.
It suddenly jumped from hundreds of thousands to 700,000, and this value is still rising at a terrifying speed.
