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

Chapter 128 Liu Shishi

After a two-day break, Li Boda started frantically accepting commercial performances everywhere again.

Previously, Li Boda mostly accepted commercial performances in Shanghai and the surrounding areas.

As for other provinces or even more distant places, Li Boda generally doesn't go there much.

Because these days, the security situation isn't actually that safe.

Especially for a celebrity like Li Boda, if you go to a remote place, you might not be safe.

When you perform at gigs, the other party makes you drink alcohol, even bottle after bottle, or they don't pay you for the jobs you take, or they simply detain you.

This kind of period is actually quite common in the industry.

Therefore, when Tangren Media gets jobs for Li Boda, they usually focus on Shanghai and the surrounding area, because this is the area that Tangren Media's network can cover.

So before that, Li Boda hadn't even accepted any commercial performances in Beijing. Because there's a circle in Beijing called the "Beijing Circle"!
You, a celebrity from Shanghai, come to Beijing to accept commercial performances? What's wrong with you? Are you trying to steal other people's jobs?
If Li Boda really went to Beijing to accept commercial performances and gigs, he would be surrounded by people and invited to some place on his very first day in the capital.

Take a singer surnamed Zang, for example. He's a tyrant in Beijing. If you're a celebrity from out of town and you want to do a commercial performance here, you have to get his permission. Otherwise, just try it and you'll encounter all sorts of things.

Unless you pay a visit to the temple before accepting a commercial performance and then wisely pay protection money, don't come here to steal jobs.

Let alone accepting commercial performances, even if a singer comes to Beijing to hold a concert, the singer has to pay homage to the temple first.

That's how the capital was at that time.

Of course, in reality, with Li Boda's abilities, nothing is dangerous for him; it's just that Li Boda doesn't want to make things too complicated.

Moreover, Shanghai and the surrounding area are quite large. It would take Li Boda a month or two to complete a round of commercial performances, so there's no need for him to go to other places to accept any commercial performances or gigs.

Unless he's specifically looking to make money, he doesn't film anything all year round and just runs around everywhere.

However, although Li Boda liked money, he didn't need to run around making money everywhere.

Originally, Li Boda planned to run a month-long series of commercial performances and make a fortune.

After all, he acted in "Tian Gou" for free, so he didn't earn any money at all during this long period of time. Therefore, he was thinking of taking on a series of commercial performances to earn back the money.

However, once the script was handed to Li Boda, he had no choice but to go to the film crew and start filming again.

This time, the production team is for "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng".

Previously, Sister Wang told him that she was going to shoot a series of digital films, a total of ten films shot together.

Li Boda plays the role of the sword god Ximen Chuixue!
As for TV dramas, Li Boda doesn't feel there are any scripts he particularly likes. As for movies, Li Boda is still a bit out of reach, so a digital movie would be quite suitable.

Moreover, although Ximen Chuixue is not actually the main character of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", and on average, he doesn't have that many scenes in ten shows, Li Boda still likes him.

Because there are a total of ten parts to this series, if Li Boda were to actually play Lu Xiaofeng, he would have to spend the next year or even longer in the production team of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng".

The time commitment is too long, so the role of Ximen Chuixue would be more suitable.

This character is high-class and popular. Although he doesn't have a lot of screen time, every appearance he makes is very eye-catching. The key is that this character doesn't take up too much of Li Boda's screen time.

By all accounts, this is a pretty good deal for a character.

Of course, as a martial arts digital film, there are action scenes, so there will naturally be martial arts training before filming begins, but the time is not long, only about a week in total.

The role of Lu Xiaofeng is played by Hong Kong actor Cheung Chi-lam, and the role of Hua Manlou is played by Hong Kong actor Cheung Chi-yiu.

Both of them are very handsome, only slightly less so than Li Boda.

However, Li Boda had to admire the casting of the "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" production team.

Zhang Zhilin plays Lu Xiaofeng. Dressed in ancient costume, with his dimples and a smile, he exudes a carefree and dashing air, radiating a sense of unrestrained elegance.

Zhang Zhiyao's portrayal of Hua Manlou earned Li Boda's thumbs up. Holding a folding fan and with a faint smile on his face, Zhang Zhiyao exuded an elegant aura, just like Hua Manlou from the book.

Of course, what Li Boda admired most was the production team's choice of him to play the role of Ximen Chuixue.

Li Boda was dressed in white, with no other accessories. He held a black-sheathed longsword in his hand. His expression was calm yet indifferent, and his eyes were sharp yet piercing. Li Boda didn't need to do anything; just standing there, he gave people the feeling of a sword being drawn from its sheath.

These are the director's exact words at the film's opening ceremony. When interviewed by reporters, the director said that what he was most satisfied with in this film was the casting, and then he brought out Zhang Zhilin, Zhang Zhiyao, and Li Boda. All three were dressed in period costumes, and the director praised them at length.

Fortunately, all three of them had been in the entertainment industry for quite some time and were thick-skinned enough to accept the director's praise without batting an eye.

……

"Hey, hey, hey, according to the script, you should have fallen in love with me at first sight, but look at your eyes, there's no sign of me in them at all!" Li Boda teased the young girl in front of him with a smile.

Upon hearing Li Boda's words, Liu Shishi looked helpless: "How come I don't see you anymore?"

“Of course not me. Why don’t you let others see if you even have me in your eyes?” Li Boda said with a smile, pulling Zhang Zhilin and Zhang Zhiyao along with him.

"Yes, I definitely don't feel it!" Zhang Zhiyao nodded with a smile.

"You're really arrogant. You don't even consider someone as handsome as Li Boda, who's second only to me in looks, worthy of your attention," Zhang Zhilin said shamelessly.

"Hey, Zhang Zhilin, have you no shame? How can you say you're more handsome than me without batting an eye?" Li Boda looked at Zhang Zhilin in disbelief.

"Of course I'm more handsome than you. Putting everything else aside, just take Shishi for example. The role Shishi played was Sun Xiuqing, the wife of Ximen Chuixue, whom you played. But during filming, she didn't even pay attention to you. Your wife didn't think you were handsome enough to catch her eye," Zhang Zhilin laughed.

Upon hearing Zhang Zhilin's words, Liu Shishi realized that he was teasing her indirectly once again.

"Aren't you guys going too far?" Liu Shishi couldn't help but say.

In fact, although Liu Shishi has been in the entertainment industry for several years, and even played the female lead in a TV series when she debuted, the TV series she participated in were not very well received, so she is considered a nobody in the entertainment industry.

Originally, she had no way of getting involved with the male protagonists, such as Li Boda, Zhang Zhilin, and Zhang Zhiyao, since their statuses were not equal.

However, the role played by Liu Shishi happens to be the wife of Ximen Chuixue, played by Li Boda.

Then there's Liu Shishi. Although she's quite pretty, her eyes are a little unfocused because she's nearsighted.

During filming, although Sun Xiuqing was clearly in love with Ximen Chuixue at first sight, because her eyes were unfocused, it gave the impression that she didn't care about Ximen Chuixue at all.

This might be fine once or twice, but if it happens too often, Li Boda will inevitably start to complain about her.

The more they complained, the closer they became to each other.

Then Li Boda, Zhang Zhilin, and Zhang Zhiyao are the three male leads of this digital film series. They spent a lot of time together during filming and their relationship is quite good.

When Li Boda was criticizing or even teasing Liu Shishi, the two of them inevitably grew closer to Liu Shishi.

In addition, Liu Shishi is indeed quite beautiful, especially since she is a dancer and has a better temperament than the average woman. So, it's common for the men to tease Liu Shishi when they have nothing to do.

Of course, the reason the three of them teased Liu Shishi was because of the fact that while there were many beautiful female characters in the drama they were filming, each episode was an episodic series with its own female lead. So, when Liu Shishi was filming, most of the other actresses were not on set.

Men, you know what I mean. When they get together, they love to talk about national affairs, governance, beautiful women, and so on.

Even if I don't intend to do anything special, filming with beautiful women makes me feel more relaxed and better.

Moreover, Liu Shishi is not only beautiful, but also has a very good personality. She has a very low threshold for laughter, and if you tease her even slightly, she will laugh non-stop. As a result, if Li Boda teases Liu Shishi even slightly, a series of honking sounds will be heard in the crew.

And laughter is contagious.

Every time Liu Shishi was teased by Li Boda and let out a series of goose-like honks, the entire crew would soon burst into laughter.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Boda was willing to tease Liu Shishi.

After all, Liu Shishi's personality makes her a lively and mascot on set.

With her around, the atmosphere on set is always much better.

Unfortunately, although Liu Shishi plays Sun Xiuqing, who is the wife of Ximen Chuixue, the third male lead in this digital film series.

However, in reality, Sun Xiuqing's role in the film is not that big.

Liu Shishi only stayed in the film crew for about a month before she finished filming all her scenes.

The thought of Liu Shishi, such a source of joy, a mascot, or even a pet, leaving the crew like this made Li Boda feel a little reluctant. After all, girls like her aren't so easy to find.
