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

Chapter 134 Entering the drama
Standing on the rooftop of the 22nd floor of the Kuntai Building, looking down slightly, the people below looked smaller than ants.

However, Li Boda remained unfazed. This height would make others' legs go weak and their heads spin, but for Li Boda, it was nothing at all.

If he could, Li Boda could jump from here without getting hurt at all.

However, Fan Bingbing and the others had a hint of concern on their faces: "Boda, don't be afraid. Although this height is very high, we will take precautions. You will be safe."

“It’s okay! This height is nothing to me, I’m not afraid of heights.” Li Boda said, and even jumped on the steps that were only a few dozen centimeters wide.

"careful!"

"Don't jump!"

Many people in the crew were startled by Li Boda's action. After all, there were no safety measures in place. If he had lost his footing even slightly, or if the wind had been a little stronger, he might have fallen. If Li Boda had actually fallen, it would have been a serious problem.

Seeing the crew's reaction, Li Boda smiled and stepped back, deciding it was best not to bother them.

Seeing Li Boda step back, the crew breathed a sigh of relief. Fan Bingbing couldn't help but step forward and punch Li Boda, saying, "You really scared me to death, you know? It was so dangerous, and you were still jumping around. What if something had happened?"

"It's my fault, it's my fault. I will never do such a thing again. Absolutely!" Li Boda promised with a smile.

Although Li Boda's actions frightened many people, they also proved that Li Boda was indeed not afraid of heights, which made the following scenes much easier to film.

With the wires securing Li Boda and safety measures in place, he was slowly lowered from the rooftop along with several window cleaners who had been specially hired for this type of high-altitude work.

As for why they hired professional window cleaners who work at heights, instead of hiring extras?

Naturally, this is because the level of work required is something that ordinary extras simply cannot do.

Instead of hiring extras who are too scared to do the job, it's better to hire professional window cleaners who work at heights. They've been doing this for years, they know all the procedures, and they're not afraid. It's a completely natural performance. Hiring them is simple and convenient.

When these window cleaners, who work at heights, arrived, they were somewhat worried when they learned that a big star like Li Boda would be going down with them.

After all, most people wouldn't dare to do this. Before joining the company, they all undergo rigorous training. Can a big star like Li Boda endure such hardship? Can he bear such suffering?
However, when Li Boda was lowered down with them and hung in mid-air to start washing the windows, they were surprised to find that Li Boda remained calm and even seemed more natural than them, the professionals. Some of them couldn't help but mutter, "No wonder Li Boda is a big star; he's just as good at our line of work."

The production team originally expected that this scene would take at least a few days to film properly.

Although these scenes were few in number, they were difficult and risky to film. They had originally planned to provide Li Boda with some kind of psychological counseling, thinking that filming this scene would take at least a few days.

Unexpectedly, the entire process, from setup to filming, took only about an hour.

This surprised the director and his team, who were both surprised and somewhat pleased.

As for the actor Li Boda, both the director and others were very satisfied.

After all, Li Boda's acting skills these days have been remarkable and excellent; he can deliver any effect they want.

He was also very serious about filming. For example, he could calmly and composedly complete a scene where he was suspended from the 22nd floor.

This is something that ordinary actors cannot do.

At least Li Yu and the others genuinely felt that choosing Li Boda to star in this film was the right decision.

……

In a dilapidated rented room, Li Boda, wearing a tank top and shorts, placed half a pound of pork head meat and dumplings on the table, and then began to eat with Fan Bingbing.

The two of them ate heartily and with great relish. Even Fan Bingbing ate dumplings one after another, finishing several in the blink of an eye.

While the two were eating, their words and actions were just like those of a normal married couple, calm and composed yet with a touch of intimacy. Li Boda picked up a dumpling with his chopsticks and brought it to Fan Bingbing's lips, and Fan Bingbing naturally opened her mouth and swallowed it.

As soon as the card clicked, Fan Bingbing couldn't help but pat her lower abdomen: "Sigh, I've eaten so many dumplings in such a short time. I can't eat any more for dinner tonight."

“You don’t eat much either,” Li Boda said with a smile.

"That's quite a lot, especially considering my constitution; I gain weight easily from just a little bit of food. I'll have to be careful for the next two days," Fan Bingbing said, letting out a sigh.

"That's right, we women have to be very careful about what we eat. If we eat even a little too much, we'll gain weight," Jiang Wenli sighed.

“You’re not fat at all. I think you’re all too thin right now. You’d look even better if you gained a little weight.” Li Boda knew what to say at this moment.

"What? I've gained a pound."

"that is!"

The two women retorted, but a smile appeared on their faces because of Li Boda's words.

After a short rest, the next scene was about to be filmed.

However, Li Boda was a little dumbfounded after hearing the content of the movie they were going to film next.

"No, they're going to film this too?" Li Boda couldn't help but ask the director, while also glancing at Fan Bingbing beside him. When Li Boda received the script for "Lost in Beijing," it did indeed describe his character as having a very good relationship with his wife and frequently having sexual relations.

However, in Li Boda's view, this kind of content should be glossed over.

After all, when Li Boda filmed TV dramas before, the passionate scenes were just filmed briefly and then glossed over.

However, to Li Boda's surprise, director Li Yu actually made him strip naked in this film.

Even though it's just his back, it's still showing his back. He's not wearing any clothes on his back, and he's not wearing any clothes on his front either!
And according to the director, he was supposed to hold Fan Bingbing, who was also naked—

To be honest, Li Boda was unwilling to film this kind of movie.

Although Li Boda had no reservations about matters between men and women.

But this is filming a movie, and movies are meant to be seen by others, especially movies, on the big screen, and watched by so many people.

Li Boda still had some sense of shame.

However, at this point, Fan Bingbing, the woman, turned around and persuaded Li Boda. It wasn't just Fan Bingbing; others did the same thing, saying things like "sacrificing for art" and "so-and-so is a big star, and they film like that too."

In short, it's as if Li Boda wouldn't respect art if he didn't make films.

Li Boda was speechless.

Seeing that Fan Bingbing didn't object or reject him at all, Li Boda decided to go for it. If the woman didn't care, why should he, a grown man, care?
shoot!
Of course, the crew was well-prepared for this scene. Apart from the director and a specially hired female cinematographer, everyone else was sent out—well, Jiang Wenli stayed too.

Upon discovering that no men remained, Li Boda became slightly reserved, while Fan Bingbing, on the other hand, was quite poised and confident.

"Boda, look, Fan Bingbing is all ready. What are you still standing there for? Hurry up, everyone's waiting for you."

"Yeah! Are you shy?"

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so innocent, Boda."

Goodness, once only a few female staff members remained on site, they became bolder and started flirting with Li Boda.

Seeing Fan Bingbing, who was smiling and blocking his way with a bath towel, and since she didn't seem to care, he decided to be shameless too. He was a grown man, so who was afraid of whom?

"Wow! Berda, you have a great figure!"

"Wow, that's quite a muscular physique!"

"Those abs look like chocolate bars!"

A group of women seemed to have transformed into female perverts, and some of them were even whistling.

Jiang Wenli stared at Li Boda without blinking.

"Alright, hurry up and take the pictures!" Li Boda felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by this group of people.

Seeing this, Fan Bingbing stepped forward with a grin and, like a koala, clung directly to Li Boda.

Li Boda initially thought he could hold back, but he underestimated Fan Bingbing's charm, and then—

Snapped--

The billiard ball went into the hole.

Li Boda was a little embarrassed, but Fan Bingbing seemed to be completely absorbed in the role, and the director didn't call "cut" at all.

What was supposed to be a two or three-minute scene was stretched into a three or three-hour shoot.

To be honest, Li Boda never dreamed that filming could be done like this.

Putting everything else aside, just these two or three hours alone, if unedited, could probably be directly released in the UK and compete with their action movies in the market.

After filming wrapped, Li Boda felt a little awkward and didn't know what to say.

Fan Bingbing and the others didn't take it seriously at all, giving the impression that they were just filming a normal movie.

Fan Bingbing even told Li Boda that this kind of thing is very common in many film crews, especially movie crews. For example, in Jackie Chan's movie "The Myth" released last year, Jackie Chan and the female lead Kim Hee-sun even directly stopped the crew from filming. Half an hour later, the crew resumed filming, and even the actors and a group of extras just waited on the side...

Li Boda felt it was useless—the amount of knowledge that was useful, well, useful or useless, had increased again.

At least Li Boda's knowledge has been expanded once again.

Li Boda's moral standards have been adjusted yet again.
