Entertainment: Who still wants to fall in love when there are cheats?

Chapter 107 Script
After returning from the mountain city, Li Boda reported to the company.

However, when Li Boda came to Tangren Film and Television, he found that some employees in the company looked at him with eyes that were vaguely not right.

Li Boda felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by them.

A little confused, Li Boda went straight to Sister Wang's office.

"Sister Wang."

"Boda, you're back." After seeing Li Boda, Sister Wang immediately stood up with a smile and poured a glass of water for Li Boda.

"Sister Wang, is there something going on in the company? When I came back, I found that many people looked at me with something strange in their eyes." Li Boda asked his question directly.

"What could be the problem? It's just that you are not involved in some of our company's new projects." Sister Wang curled her lips and sounded as if she didn't care. In fact, Sister Wang's tone of voice was not very good.

“A few new projects?”

"Yes, [Young Generals of the Yang Family], [Fairy from the Sky], [Don't Love Me], and a few stories from [New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio]. Our President Cai is really, huh." Sister Wang curled her lips and said a little angrily, "But this doesn't really have any impact on you. After all, you're already a popular top actor. There are so many crews looking for you to film, and you won't need to use the company's resources anymore."

Li Boda nodded and didn't care much about what Sister Wang said. After all, as Sister Wang said, if he wanted to make a movie now, there were really a lot of resources outside and he almost didn't need the resources of Tangren Film and Television.

"Sister Wang, what kind of script is that [Fairy from the Other World]?" Li Boda asked casually. After all, Li Boda was a little concerned about the word "fairy".

"It's an adaptation of the story of [The Legend of the White Snake], and although some things have changed, it's actually still about the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven coming to the human world and falling in love with a poor scholar. That should be the case, it's basically the same anyway." Sister Wang explained.

After hearing this, Li Boda didn't care at all. The male protagonist had nothing to do with the gods.

"The leading male actors in these dramas are all that guy, Hu Ge!" Sister Wang couldn't help but mention it again.

"The leading actor in these dramas is Hu Ge? It seems that our President Cai really likes him very much." Li Boda suddenly realized.

"That's right. He was given several dramas in a row and even found resources for a movie. He is the real prince of Tangren chosen by President Cai." Sister Wang said quietly.

"..." After hearing what Sister Wang said, even though Li Boda was in a good situation now, he couldn't help but feel envious.

Mr. Cai personally fed Hu Ge the food and put it into his mouth. Hu Ge's luck is really amazing.

When he thought that Mr. Cai was quite young and Hu Ge was also a handsome young man, Li Boda couldn't help but think darkly in his heart that there must be something going on between the two of them. Otherwise, even if Cai Yinong wanted to support Hu Ge, she wouldn't have done it to this extent. She just took the resources and forced them into Hu Ge's mouth.

Especially after being in the entertainment industry for a few years, Li Boda has seen too many messy things in the entertainment industry, so naturally, he couldn't help but think about this matter in that direction.

"Sister Wang, do you think there is something going on between our President Cai and Hu Ge?" Li Boda couldn't help but ask Sister Wang.

"There are similar rumors within the company, but no one can provide evidence." Sister Wang shook her head and said that she had heard too much news of this kind this year. The main reason was that Cai Yinong was really too good to Hu Ge, a little too good.

Li Boda nodded. He felt that there must be something between the two of them. Otherwise, if they just simply liked one person, they would not do this much for the other person.

"By the way, I have received a lot of script invitations for you. Take a look." Sister Wang took out a stack of scripts.

These scripts were all proactively handed to Li Boda from outside, which is why Sister Wang said that Tangren Film and Television’s current resources are no longer important to Li Boda.

As long as Li Boda is willing, he can even shoot movies non-stop for 24 hours a day. If Li Boda is a little more ruthless, he can even take on several dramas at the same time, going to one crew to shoot in the morning, going to that crew to shoot at noon, going to another crew to shoot in the afternoon, and finding another crew to shoot in the evening.

In other words, Li Boda at this time was fully qualified to act in other roles, but he just had no interest in doing so.

Perhaps it was because when he accepted Li Kuilei's inheritance, it had some influence on Li Boda. At least Li Boda would treat every play very seriously every time he filmed.

Therefore, Li Boda would not do such things as overlapping roles unless he had no other choice.

Perhaps knowing what kind of plays Li Boda liked, the one at the top of these scripts was a mythological drama called "Legend of Heaven and Earth".

The male protagonist is Fuxi!

However, when Li Boda read the script with some excitement, he found that the script was not what he had imagined.

Li Boda originally thought that this "Legend of Heaven and Earth" would be similar to the previously filmed "Jingwei Filling the Sea", with a plot of various gods fighting each other. However, in this "Legend of Heaven and Earth", there are gods and the Jade Emperor, but Fuxi is just an ordinary person.

Fuxi was set to be the Emperor of Mankind, and then he married Nuwa and gave birth to nine sons. He then taught his people martial arts, invented fire and pottery, made fishing nets, created cooked food and distributed it to all directions... Although the story of this script seemed pretty good, it was so different from what Li Boda had imagined that he was very disappointed after reading the script.

"What? Don't you like this script?" Sister Wang saw a flash of disappointment in Li Boda's eyes.

"Yes, it's a little different from what I imagined. It would be great if Fuxi was a god." Li Boda nodded.

Sister Wang couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "If Fuxi is a god, how can we write this script?"

"Too."

"By the way, there's also an invitation to write a script for [Liao Zhai 2]. This script is similar to our company's [New Liao Zhai]. They are both composed of small stories from Liao Zhai. If you have any ideas about our company, you can take this and then confront us head-on." Sister Wang said with a smile.

Obviously, Sister Wang was a little angry about Tangren Film and Television's different treatment of Li Boda.

Upon hearing this, Li Boda flipped through the script and found the script of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio 2". If the script was good and there was no better script, Li Boda would not mind filming it and confronting his own company.

However, when he opened the script of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio 2", Li Boda frowned.

This "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio 2" is composed of six stories: "Lianxiang", "Yanzhi", "Yingning", "Fendie", "Yiquan" and "Rakshasa Haishi".

How should I put it? Except for "Yingning", the other stories are not too famous. In other words, the story of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio 2" is not that attractive in the first place.

Looking at the specific plot, how should I put it, the quality is relatively average.

Although Li Boda was not clear about the plot of Tangren's "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", he knew something about Tangren's own capabilities, especially for themes like "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". He was afraid that the quality of the film would not be bad.

If Li Boda took on the script of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio 2", it would inevitably be compared with other works, and in the end Li Boda would probably not gain much benefit.

When Sister Wang saw Li Boda shaking his head and putting down the script of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio 2", she didn't say anything. In fact, the reason she mentioned this was just because she was a little angry. She had no objection to Li Boda not accepting the script.

[The Secret History of Kangxi].

Li Boda was speechless when he saw this script. Although "Kangxi Dynasty" had been broadcast for several years, its popularity had not dropped too much. As for "The Secret History of Kangxi", Li Boda seriously suspected that this might be used to take advantage of the popularity.

Moreover, it was a play about a woman with a long braid, which Li Boda was really not interested in.

After flipping through two pages, Li Boda put the script down.

Then [The Divine Strategist Liu Bowen], [The Divine Physician in Commoner], [The Chivalrous Heart], [The Sword with Tear Marks], [The Seven Swordsmen from Tianshan], etc., are all costume dramas.

"Sister Wang, isn't there a modern idol drama or something?" Li Boda asked with a smile while flipping through the script.

"What kind of modern idol dramas can we have in mainland China? It's already good enough if we can have one or two occasionally a year." Sister Wang shook her head and said.

"That's true - but it would be great if I could act in idol dramas from Taiwan and commercial dramas from Hong Kong." Li Boda muttered.

"Don't even think about it! Hong Kong and Taiwan have so many actors of their own that they can't use them all, so many of them have to come to our mainland to film. How can they let you act in their movies?" Sister Wang couldn't help laughing.

"That's true, but why can't we in mainland China follow their lead and produce some idol dramas and commercial dramas?"

"The genre you're talking about is so well-made over there, but we're not familiar with it here in mainland China. We don't even know if it's good or bad. If we make one, we'll have to compete with those shows in the market. Do you think we can win?"

"It seems that I really can't win the competition - Oh, this is the Investiture of the Gods?" Li Boda flipped through the scripts and found a script that he was more interested in - [Investiture of the Gods: Fengming Qishan].

"You are talking about [Investiture of the Gods: Fengming Qishan], right?" Sister Wang followed Li Boda's gaze.

"Yes." Li Boda picked up the script.

"Actually, I don't recommend you to take this script, mainly because the male lead of this script is Jiang Ziya, and the second male lead is King Zhou. You can't play these two roles at your age, so even if you want to, you can only play the third male lead, Ji Fa." Sister Wang explained, shaking her head.

Upon hearing what Sister Wang said, Li Boda realized that it was not true. Although "Investiture of the Gods" was a fight between gods, those gods were only supporting roles. As for the protagonist, he was not suitable for his age at all. Moreover, the protagonist in "Investiture of the Gods" had no appeal to Li Boda.
