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

Chapter 141 Reunion with Liu Shishi

Regarding the contract, apart from changing the signatory Li Boda to Li Boda's personal studio, Cai Yinong was very insistent on the other parts, such as profit sharing.

According to Cai Yinong, she didn't need to change the contract with Li Boda since it had already been signed. She was already being very accommodating by agreeing to let Li Boda turn his personal business into a studio. Other terms, such as profit sharing, should not have been changed at all.

If changes are absolutely necessary, then the contract duration must also be changed.

For example, Li Boda's contract with Tangren Media only has a little over two years left. If he wants to change the revenue sharing, he can add 10% of the contract duration to the revenue sharing, and change it to a three-year contract.

Li Boda rolled his eyes. This was no joke. If he could, he would even want to leave Tangren Media right now. But he knew that Tangren Media wouldn't let go, so they only changed the terms of the contract. Now Cai Yinong actually wanted to extend the contract duration. Don't even think about it.

After much reasoned arguing, Cai Yinong finally relented a little regarding the profit sharing, changing it from 50/50 to 40/60, which meant Li Boda got 60/60.

As long as Li Boda takes on a role now, he rarely uses Tangren Media's resources. He gets the resources through his own abilities, and even if it's a 40/60 split, Tangren still makes a profit.

However, after the contract was changed, the relationship between Li Boda and Tangren became much more harmonious than before.

After all, if Tangren doesn't agree to amend the contract, Li Boda can't do anything about it, unless he breaches the contract, which would require him to pay exorbitant compensation.

So Cai Yinong's agreement was already a gesture of respect to Li Boda, and in a sense, it was also a form of indirect support for Li Boda. Naturally, Li Boda would have to change his attitude towards the Tang people, at least not as resistant as before.

After Tangren Media finalized the contract, Li Boda prepared to go and sign the contract with the production team of "Magic Phone".

However, when Li Boda came out of Cai Yinong's office, he saw a familiar face!
"Boda!" Liu Shishi's usually dull eyes lit up, and she ran over and threw herself into Li Boda's arms.

"Shishi, what are you doing here?" Li Boda asked curiously, holding Liu Shishi in his arms.

"I've signed with Tangren Media! Now we work at the same company, and I'm your junior sister!" Liu Shishi said happily to Li Boda.

"You signed with Tangren?" Li Boda asked in surprise.

"Yeah, anyway, I was going to sign with an entertainment company anyway, and since you're in Tangren, I signed with them." Liu Shishi nodded with a smile.

"..." Li Boda was a little at a loss for words. Judging from Liu Shishi's words, it seemed that a big reason why she signed with Tangren was because he, Li Boda, was a member of Tangren.

However, his relationship with Tangren Media—well, it's better now than before, because they've barely reached a settlement regarding the contract.

Seeing Liu Shishi's cheerful demeanor, Li Boda didn't bring up the matter: "Shishi, which company did you sign with? How does Cai Yinong treat you?"

Li Boda asked with concern.

Whether Tsai Yinong can have a good future at Tangren Media, and whether she can get good resources and more resources, depends on her thoughts.

If Liu Shishi is treated as unappreciated as she was before, she probably won't get many good resources in the future.

Of course, if Liu Shishi is favored by Cai Yinong, then Liu Shishi can start looking towards Hu Ge—well, even if Cai Yinong favors her, it will probably be a bit lacking, after all, Liu Shishi is not a man.

"It was President Cai who arranged for me to sign the contract. President Cai seems to really like me. After I signed, President Cai arranged a role for me in a drama. I'm the female lead in the Xin Shisi Niang segment of 'Strange Tales of Liaozhai.' Also, I'll be playing Mu Nianci in the 'Legend of the Condor Heroes' that our company will be filming in the future," Liu Shishi said with a smile.

"Cai Yinong arranged this? That's good." Li Boda nodded, now he didn't have to worry about Liu Shishi being neglected at Tangren Media: "But our company is filming 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'?"

"Yes, didn't you know?" Liu Shishi looked at Li Boda in surprise. Li Boda was Tangren's most popular and hottest actor. Shouldn't the company have informed Li Boda about the TV series they were planning to produce? Asked Li Boda if he wanted to play the role of Guo Jing. How come Li Boda seemed to know nothing about it?

"I don't know! Actually, I hardly use the company's resources when I'm filming now. There are too many projects, so the company's resources are given to other people," Li Boda explained reluctantly.

Although Li Boda explained, Liu Shishi seemed to understand as well. Although Li Boda was the most popular actor within Tangren Media, he seemed to be completely disregarded by the company.

Only now did Liu Shishi understand why Li Boda had asked her how Cai Yinong had treated her.

Liu Shishi wanted to comfort Li Boda, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know how to comfort him.

While Li Boda may not seem to be valued by Tangren Media, he is currently Tangren's most famous and popular artist, that much is true.

While the Tang people may not provide Li Boda with any resources, Li Boda already has plenty of resources at his disposal and has no need for the Tang people's meager resources.

So, comfort? Does Li Boda really need comfort? Absolutely not.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. It's good that our CEO Cai values ​​you. Just focus on filming and follow the company's arrangements. If anything happens, feel free to contact me anytime." Li Boda patted Liu Shishi on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Mmm!" Liu Shishi finally nodded obediently.

Although Li Boda was somewhat surprised by Liu Shishi's signing with Tangren Media, it didn't have much of an impact on him.

After signing a contract with the production team of "Magic Phone", Li Boda returned to the production team of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" to continue filming.

It has to be said that Li Boda was actually a bit, well, not particularly responsible during the filming of this drama. He would take leave whenever he had free time and run around everywhere. Fortunately, the role of Ximen Chuixue, which Li Boda played, had a significant amount of screen time, but not a large number of scenes, so his frequent leave did not delay the filming.

Of course, it was also because Li Boda's role didn't have too many scenes that he frequently took leave. If he had more scenes, he wouldn't have signed contracts for other projects or taken leave to film other projects during filming.

Li Boda stayed for a while longer, and then he had to ask for leave again.

This time, the reason for taking leave is even more legitimate!

Because Li Boda was going to participate in the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals.

Fortunately, the rehearsal schedule was well-arranged, and Li Boda only needed to take one or two days off for rehearsals.

After taking leave, Li Boda met Zeng Li at the previously agreed-upon location.

When Zeng Li saw Li Boda, her eyes lit up, and she immediately hugged Li Boda's arm affectionately.

"I never imagined I'd actually be on the Spring Festival Gala!" Zeng Li said excitedly.

"With your good looks, it's only natural that you'd be on the Spring Festival Gala," Li Boda said with a grin.

"Don't talk nonsense. What does being on the Spring Festival Gala have to do with being good-looking? It's all thanks to you. If it weren't for singing 'Wujiapo' with you, I wouldn't have had the chance to be on the Spring Festival Gala at all."

"Since you owe me so much, how do you plan to repay me?" Li Boda raised an eyebrow.

"How do you want me to repay you?" Zeng Li's cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes revealing an ambiguous look.

Li Boda whispered something in Zeng Li's ear, which made Zeng Li unable to resist punching Li Boda, and then nodding gently.

Seeing this, Li Boda's smile widened even more.

The two arrived at the CCTV rehearsal location at the agreed time.

Then we lined up, waited, and watched the singers take the stage one by one to sing.

Seeing this, Zeng Li couldn't help but get nervous, and her palms sweated as she held Li Boda's hand.

Seeing this, Li Boda channeled a stream of magic power into Zeng Li's palm, instantly calming her down. She then looked at Li Boda with apparent surprise.

"How is it? Don't you feel especially safe with me around? You don't feel nervous at all when I'm by your side?" Li Boda asked with a smile.

Zeng Li nodded, then gently rested her head on Li Boda's shoulder. She truly felt that Li Boda made her feel incredibly safe.

After a long wait, it was finally Li Boda and Zeng Li's turn. The two of them went on stage and sang a song called "Wujiapo" together, thus passing the rehearsal.

That evening, the two did not leave immediately, but booked a room nearby, where Zeng Li properly repaid Li Boda's kindness.

……

"Cut! Passed."

"I hereby announce! Filming for 'The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng' has wrapped!"

The entire production took nearly a year to complete and has finally wrapped up filming.

The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng, a digital film series, was filmed in ten parts.

It's fortunate that this is a digital film, so the shooting requirements are not as high as those for theatrical films. In addition, it's a series of ten films, so there's no need to make any changes to the costumes, props, makeup, photography, etc. That's why it was possible to shoot ten films in such a short time.

So everyone in the crew was genuinely happy when they heard the news that filming had wrapped up. After all, they had been busy for so long, and it was rare to have such a long working session at once.

During the filming, Li Boda also participated in the second rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala.

The second rehearsal was different from the first. This time, it wasn't just singers rehearsing together.

Instead, they rehearsed according to the order in which the programs would appear. Before Li Boda and his group was a comedy sketch, and after that program ended, Li Boda and Zeng Li went on stage to sing.

During the second rehearsal, many more programs were cut, but Li Boda and Zeng Li's "Wujiapo" was kept.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, their song is definitely going to be performed on the Spring Festival Gala.
