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

Chapter 166 Liu Shishi's Request
Li Boda didn't know many people in the screenwriting circle, and he had only communicated with a few screenwriters such as Yu Zheng.

However, the screenwriters that Li Boda knew were mostly different from what Li Boda wanted, and they might not be able to create works that satisfied Li Boda.

For example, Yu Zheng is good at writing female-oriented scripts with more and more female leads, such as "Rouge Snow" starring Li Boda, as well as "The Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty" and "I Love the Lioness of Hedong".

The script that Li Boda wanted was male-oriented, completely different from Yu Zheng's area of ​​expertise.

Just as Li Boda was about to offer a reward to the screenwriters, Ning Hao suddenly called him.

Ning Hao called Li Boda because he had come up with another script and planned to make a movie called "Crazy Racer".

Like "Crazy Stone," which was previously invested in by Li Boda, it belongs to the "Crazy" series.

Ning Hao called Li Boda mainly to ask if Li Boda had any plans to invest in his new movie, "Crazy Racer".

The reason Ning Hao called Li Boda to ask him this was not actually because Ning Hao's new movie lacked money or investment.

In fact, after the success of "Crazy Stone", Ning Hao's films have no shortage of investment. In fact, after the script for "Crazy Racer" was completed, many investors wanted to invest in his film.

The reason for contacting Li Boda was that he had invested in "Crazy Stone" during its filming, which enabled the film to be made smoothly.

Although the film made Li Boda a fortune, it was just a normal investment return. Ning Hao still remembered Li Boda's kindness.

Therefore, when Ning Hao was planning to shoot the movie "Crazy Racer", the first person he thought of was Li Boda, and he wanted to see if Li Boda was interested in investing.

If Li Boda is willing to invest, Ning Hao will happily accept it; if Li Boda refuses, Ning Hao will contact other investors and accept their investments.

To be honest, investing in Ning Hao's movies is a sure-fire way to make money; it's a high-quality investment.

Just like when Li Boda invested two million in the "Crazy Stone" film crew, after deducting taxes and other factors, the two million almost doubled.

Even though it took a year for the money to be fully credited to my account, the return of 100% is enough to show how worthwhile this investment was.

Unlike other investments where the outcome is uncertain, "Crazy Racer" is a virtually guaranteed money-making investment, making it something countless people would want to invest in.

Li Boda was well aware of Ning Hao's thoughts, but his company was in dire need of money right now, and he also wanted to write his own scripts and make his own movies, all of which would require funds.

Investing in "Crazy Racing" would be a sure-fire way to make money, but the long payback period forced Li Boda to decline Ning Hao's offer.

However, although Li Boda rejected Ning Hao's offer, Ning Hao's appearance did catch Li Boda's eye.

If you can't find a suitable screenwriter to create a script, Ning Hao is the answer!

The script for "Crazy Stone" was written by Ning Hao and a few of his brothers. Li Boda could have asked Ning Hao to help write the script!
Of course, Ning Hao is currently busy filming a movie and doesn't have the time or energy to write a script.

But Yue Xiaojun, Zhang Cheng, and others who co-created "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racer" with Ning Hao, they have time!

So Li Boda contacted Yue Xiaojun and the others directly through Ning Hao.

"Xiaojun, you are all very talented and professional screenwriters, so I plan to ask you to help me write a script. I don't have too many requirements for the script, but the male lead's character cannot be changed..." Li Boda told Yue Xiaojun and the others about his idea.

Yue Xiaojun and the others looked at the script prepared by Li Boda and felt that the script was not too difficult, with only one requirement: the male lead.

Since they were all professional screenwriters, and Li Boda was willing to pay, Yue Xiaojun and the others readily agreed, even promising not to keep Li Boda waiting too long.

Clearly, this script wasn't too difficult for them.

However, to ensure the quality of the script, Li Boda also promised them that if the script was good enough, he would give them some bonuses later.

It can be said that Li Boda spent a lot of money to have Yue Xiaojun and others tailor-make a script for him.

"...Shishi? What brings you here?" Li Boda looked at Liu Shishi, who had come to the company to find him, stood up, smiled, and hugged her.

Since Gao Yuanyuan left, Li Boda has kept himself clean and hasn't messed around with anyone, including the company's secretary. However, he's still quite angry.

Upon seeing Liu Shishi, Li Boda naturally became more enthusiastic.

When Liu Shishi saw Li Boda embrace her, her initial apprehension instantly vanished.

After Liu Shishi had a relationship with Li Boda, she even signed a contract with Tangren Media without hesitation for Li Boda's sake.

Liu Shishi never expected that Li Boda would part ways with Tangren Media not long after she signed the contract.

Then Li Boda transformed from an actor into the boss of a high-tech company, which put a lot of pressure on Liu Shishi, making her feel a huge gap between herself and Li Boda.

Liu Shishi was very sad and felt inferior, even worried that Li Boda might cut off contact with her.

Furthermore, Li Boda rarely took the initiative to contact Liu Shishi, and he also rarely contacted other female celebrities, remaining passive throughout. This caused Liu Shishi to feel insecure and anxious for a time.

Coincidentally, Liu Shishi was filming "Chinese Paladin 3" during this period. Because of this, she was often out of sorts while filming on set, and was often scolded by the director for it.

Then, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and several other actresses who were also filming "Chinese Paladin 3" got along well with Liu Shishi and privately asked her about her situation.

Originally feeling uneasy, Liu Shishi couldn't help but tell Yang Mi and Tang Yan about her relationship with Li Boda when they asked her, mainly because she wanted to find someone to share the pressure with.

Tang Yan was alright. She had never met Li Boda before, but she admired handsome big stars like him to some extent. When she learned that Liu Shishi had a close relationship with a big star like Li Boda, she was only slightly envious and didn't have any other thoughts.

As for Yang Mi, she had previously worked with Li Boda when filming "The Return of the Condor Heroes," where Li Boda played Yang Guo and Yang Mi played Guo Xiang.

At that time, Yang Mi tried to get closer to Li Boda in order to obtain better resources from him.

Unfortunately, while Li Boda couldn't be said to disdain Yang Mi, she certainly wasn't very close to her, and she couldn't even get Li Boda's contact information.

Now, she plays the female lead in "Chinese Paladin 3", while Liu Shishi can only play the third female lead. She directly overshadows Liu Shishi, but Liu Shishi has a relationship with Li Boda.

Moreover, Li Boda has now transformed from an actor into the owner of a promising high-tech company, a change in identity that makes him even more significant.

In addition, in the original script of "Chinese Paladin 3", there was a scene where Li Xiaoyao appeared, so Yang Mi immediately encouraged Liu Shishi to go find Li Boda.

Liu Shishi, who had always been unable to let go of Li Boda, left the film crew after some hesitation and came to Li Boda's Rubik's Cube Technology Company to find him.

Li Boda was very welcoming of Liu Shishi's arrival. He then locked the office door from the inside, closed the louvered windows, and prepared to have Liu Shishi help test the soundproofing of the office.

The soundproofing in this office was specially done when the company was renovating, and it's said to be particularly effective. At least Gao Yuanyuan highly praised the soundproofing of Li Boda's office.

Now that Liu Shishi has arrived, she will help Li Boda test the soundproofing of the office. The final conclusion is that the soundproofing of the office has not changed after Gao Yuanyuan left, and the soundproofing is still good.

Feeling listless yet with a rosy complexion, and a hint of spring and happiness in her eyes, Liu Shishi began to talk to Li Boda about serious matters—no, she had already finished her serious matters and was just saying that she had come to see Li Boda and brought some things with her.

“In the script for ‘Chinese Paladin 3,’ there are a few scenes where Li Xiaoyao appears. He’s set up like a reclusive master, and filming is very simple. The director wants you to make a cameo appearance. If you have time—it’s not a big deal, but you don’t have to go if you don’t want to. It won’t really affect the plot anyway.” Liu Shishi whispered in Li Boda’s arms.

"It's nothing, it's just a cameo role, only a few scenes. Anyway, my work here is already on track, and I don't need to be in the office all the time watching the company. Besides, you invited me, how could I refuse?" Li Boda said with a smile, pinching Liu Shishi's nose.

"You're so kind." Liu Shishi smiled happily.

Li Boda agreed to make a cameo appearance in "Chinese Paladin 3," seemingly entirely out of consideration for Liu Shishi.

Liu Shishi felt that Li Boda cared about her, and she was truly happy. She even felt that at this moment, she was the happiest woman in the world.
