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

Chapter 145 Domineering President
The press conference for the launch of the "Magic Phone" went very smoothly.

The reporters who came all asked questions that were only superficial and to the point, without asking anything too tricky, strange, or even hurtful.

That makes sense, since the TV series "Magic Phone" was actually a project spearheaded by CCTV.

Reporters can easily create big news stories about other TV dramas. But with this CCTV project, they'd better behave themselves and absolutely avoid causing trouble!

After completing the procedures, filming officially began.

The first scene filmed by the crew was naturally Li Boda's scene.

After all, Li Boda is the male lead in this TV series.

If the script hadn't been changed and the male lead was Lu Xiaoqian, then this scene would have been filmed with Li Bin. However, since Li Boda is the real big star, they had to change the male lead from You Suowei, who was played by Li Boda.

Li Boda had already changed into a suit.

This suit fits perfectly, not too small, not too big, not too loose, not too tight. It looks especially stylish on Li Boda. Everyone who sees it thinks that Li Boda is really handsome!

Wearing a well-fitting suit, with hair wax applied to his hair and his hairstyle meticulous, he looked just like a domineering CEO from a Taiwanese idol drama.

Li Boda had always wanted to play a domineering CEO in a Taiwanese idol drama. Although this time it wasn't a Taiwanese idol drama, the look and hairstyle still fulfilled Li Boda's wish.

In fact, the production team of "Magic Phone" did specifically consult Li Boda's opinion when revising the script.

It was precisely because Li Boda's opinion was consulted that the production team specially designed the character of You Suowei as he is now when modifying him.

As written in the script, the domineering CEO You Suowei, played by Li Boda, is almost always wearing a suit every time he appears. The suits are different styles and colors, but basically, they are all suits. There are no other styles of clothing, such as casual wear or jeans. These kinds of clothes will never appear on the character of CEO You Suowei.

Although this setting was a bit too much, Li Boda didn't have much of an opinion.

After all, it's good to portray yourself as handsome and charming in the script.

After saying 'Exon'.

Looking at Li Boda on the monitor, the director couldn't help but pinch his chin and click his tongue: "This Li Boda is just too handsome. I'm starting to wonder if I'm filming an idol drama this time."

Those around him nodded subconsciously when they heard the director say that. Indeed, Li Boda's attire, appearance, and handsome looks made him look exactly like someone from an idol drama.

Of course, the director had no objection to the filming achieving an effect similar to an idol drama.

In fact, the director previously directed "Lotus Lantern," which, although it appears to be a mythological drama, also had some elements of an idol drama. The director himself is not opposed to idol dramas.

After all, these days, whether it's Taiwanese idol dramas or Korean idol dramas, they all have a very good market in mainland China. In fact, the idol dramas that mainland China tried to film before had quite good ratings.

So whether it's an idol drama or not, or whether it has idol drama elements, the director doesn't care.

In fact, as long as it's not a TV series with a particularly serious theme, many other TV series, whether modern or ancient, martial arts or fantasy, have some characteristics of idol dramas.

"Cut! That's a wrap! Boda did a great job, you got the first scene right away, keep up the good work for the rest!"

The first scene was a very simple scene; in fact, you could say that the director gave it to the scene with the lowest acting requirements and the simplest to shoot in the entire film.

Almost all production teams operate in this way, whether it's a TV series or a movie.

If the first scene after filming begins can be completed easily, it is considered a very good omen, signifying that the rest of the filming will go smoothly.

Even if a director wants to refine the script and train the actors, they won't put those scenes in the first scene.

Of course, TV dramas generally have relatively low requirements for acting skills.

Therefore, the second and third scenes, and even the scenes on the first day of filming, were relatively easy to shoot.

Li Boda, Shu Chang, Chen Chuang, Li Bin, and others almost all filmed this time without any retakes, getting it right in one take.

It was precisely because the first day of filming went so smoothly that the confidence of most of the actors in the crew was boosted.

Their performance on the second day of filming was still excellent.

……

Shu Chang wore a red leather jacket and skirt, revealing her fair and tender thighs. She looked quite pretty, with a touch of sexiness in her beauty.

"Cut! Shu Chang, stop making such exaggerated expressions, and stop having such lively eyes. Be a little more stiff and expressionless," the director yelled at Shu Chang.

Upon hearing this, Shu Chang stuck out his tongue sheepishly.

Shu Chang plays a silly girl who is a mobile phone program, or rather a mobile phone system, not a human. Although the silly girl's emotions will become richer later on, she will still be a bit dull and sluggish at the beginning.

In reality, at this point, it would be easier to cast a star with little acting skill who only knows how to put on a blank face in this role. Someone with good acting skills like Shu Chang might sometimes unconsciously reveal a little bit of their acting, thus affecting the filming effect.

However, after being reminded, Shu Chang immediately recovered and returned to being that dull and silly girl.

"Cut! Great, that was perfect this time. Keep it up and get ready for the next one!"

If we say that the silly girl character played by Shu Chang is a beautiful character with a touch of sexiness...

So Chen Chuang's portrayal of the Yellow-Eyebrowed King is somewhat laughable.

His messy, weed-like hair, his protruding nose, and those two mustaches that made people want to laugh—his whole appearance was as comical as could be.

Moreover, it's not just his image; even his scenes are often the kind that are particularly funny.

This character is the kind who seems bad, but every time he does something bad, he's the one who suffers the most, using his misfortune to make the audience laugh.

However, watching Chen Chuang's performance, Li Boda couldn't help but nod in approval.

Of all the actors in the entire crew, besides Li Boda, Chen Chuang is probably the best actor.

Unfortunately, although Chen Chuang's acting skills were the best besides Li Boda's, he was too ugly, so he could only play such comedic supporting roles.

However, if he can grasp the role well and continue to develop it, continuing in this comedic and important supporting role, he might just become a golden supporting actor.

After all, actors like Chen Chuang, who are ugly but have excellent acting skills and can put aside their airs to play clown roles and make the audience laugh, are actually quite rare.

As the film crew continued shooting...

Li Boda and the other members of the crew also began to get to know each other.

Many people in the crew, including the actors, also discovered that Li Boda, this big star, was an excellent actor.

Li Boda's acting skills impressed everyone in the crew.

Meanwhile, in the crew, Li Boda was very kind to Shu Chang, but while he wasn't particularly close to others, he was still quite nice to them. Li Boda never caused trouble for anyone in the crew.

This made Chen Chuang, Xie Ning, and the others breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Li Boda, being a big shot, didn't cause trouble for no reason, and everyone else's attitude was also quite good, so the overall atmosphere of the crew was quite good, which kept the filming progress of "Magic Phone" very good.

"Hahaha, you look pretty good! A superhero! Hahaha!" Shu Chang laughed heartily.

When Li Boda heard Shu Chang say that, he put on his sunglasses and struck a particularly cool pose.

Seeing Li Boda like this, Shu Chang laughed even more happily.

At this moment, Li Boda was wearing a white leather jacket with a few red accents, along with sunglasses and a red cape.

To be honest, Li Boda really does have a bit of a superhero vibe when he looks like this.

"Actually, I think it would be better if these clothes were a little more form-fitting?" Li Boda asked, looking at his skin, which was still a little loose.

"Do you want to play Superman?" Shu Chang couldn't help but laugh.

"It's not impossible. Super strength, super speed, super brain, body of steel, and so on—so many extraordinary abilities would be pretty awesome," Li Boda said with a chuckle.

At the same time, Li Boda was thinking about whether he should find an opportunity to make a superhero movie similar to Superman.

Who knows, his cheat code might give him something different in return.

"With me, you're practically a superhero." Shu Chang was referring to You Suowei, played by Li Boda, who, after acquiring the Silly Girl's phone, gained superhuman-like abilities.

"It's still different. Superman has a super brain and super intelligence."

"I've never seen Superman use any super brain or super intelligence!" Shu Chang couldn't help but say.

"That's because you've overlooked the fact that whether it's a Superman TV series or a movie, the Superman in them all uses a super brain and activates super intelligence," Li Boda said seriously.

"no?"

"How is it useless? When Superman encounters a problem, he asks Superbrain for advice on how to solve it, and Superbrain tells Superman to use his super powers."

"Hahaha..." Shu Chang was so amused by Li Boda that he couldn't stop laughing.
