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

Chapter 53: The upcoming filming of "Chinese Paladin"

Li Boda ran around performing commercial shows like crazy for a while and made a lot of money.

In 03, the amount in Li Boda's bank account had reached seven figures.

It was at this time that Li Boda realized that as an actor or a star, the real way to make money is not by filming. The pay for filming is not that. The real way to make money is by commercial performances. As long as you are willing to risk your face, whether it is a store opening, a wedding, a funeral, a happy occasion or a sad occasion, as long as you perform enough, the money will really flow into your bank account like water.

This makes much more money than filming a movie.

Of course, this is also a wave of quick money.

At the beginning, Li Boda earned 40,000 to 50,000 yuan for each commercial performance, but later, as he did more and more, it seemed not so rare anymore, and his salary even dropped to 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per performance.

Although ten or twenty thousand is not a small amount, it is obviously worth less.

In addition, Sister Wang said that the company had a project to shoot, so Li Boda had to regretfully end this wave of commercial performances.

"Sister Wang, what project is our company working on this time?" Li Boda asked cheerfully.

Since the money in his bank card has increased, Li Boda's mood has become better and better.

"It's a fantasy drama! Our boss has been eyeing the copyright of a game for a long time. This time he bought the copyright and plans to adapt it into a TV series. You will meet Mr. Cai and Director Li later. You should perform well and try to get the male lead." Sister Wang said seriously.

"Adapting a game into a TV series? Is it reliable? Aren't TV series adapted from novels or comics these days? Has there been such an example before with games?" Li Boda asked curiously.

"...Don't worry about whether there are examples or not. The company is quite good at this aspect. Besides, this is a fantasy drama. Isn't that your favorite?" After hearing what Li Boda said, Sister Wang rolled her eyes at Li Boda.

"A fantasy drama? I really like this. Thank you, Sister Wang." Li Boda said happily.

"You should adjust your state of mind. You were running around like crazy doing commercial performances before. Money is important, but having works that you can show off is more important. Also, I was thinking, do you want to try singing? If you have no objection, release an album to test the waters." Sister Wang gave Li Boda another idea.

"Singing? I haven't learned it specifically, can I do it? I think my singing is pretty average. During the commercial performances before, I was a little embarrassed to sing." Li Boda scratched his head. He didn't care much about singing and releasing albums because his golden finger was not in singing.

"I'm sorry to say that you're still accepting commercial performances like crazy. It's only been half a month, and you've already accepted hundreds of commercial performances." Sister Wang said unhappily.

"Isn't this a quick way to make money? I never thought before that I could make money so quickly by taking on commercial performances. Before, I worked so hard to film, but the salary for a movie was only tens of thousands of yuan." Li Boda said with a smile.

"So! You have to control yourself. You can make money anytime, but as an actor, your works are your foundation. If you have many outstanding works and a high reputation, then the price of your commercial performances can be raised. Do you know? How much is Chen Daoming's price for a commercial performance?" Sister Wang asked with a smile.

Li Boda frowned slightly and thought for a moment. "When I first started, my commercial performance fee was 40,000 to 50,000. That was because I had been filming and hadn't been in the spotlight, so people thought I was rare. Later, the commercial performance fee dropped to 10,000 to 20,000. Chen Daoming's commercial performance fee is 100,000? 200,000?"

"Three hundred thousand! Chen Daoming's commercial performance price is three hundred thousand, and that's the lowest price."

"Three hundred thousand? And that's the lowest price? So high? How much money does he have to make?" Li Boda's face was full of shock and envy.

"People simply don't care about the money from commercial performances. Chen Daoming is now making 100,000 per episode, no matter if he's the protagonist or a supporting role. In addition, he makes advertising fees, which is more than you can even imagine. So, Boda, come on, make a few more movies and make yourself as famous as Chen Daoming. By then, you won't even have to take commercial performances--" "No, you still have to take commercial performances. After all, they pay you so much." Li Boda retorted.

Seeing Li Boda's serious expression, Sister Wang couldn't help laughing.

Of course, when Sister Wang said that Li Boda could become a big star like Chen Daoming, she was actually just saying it casually.

How many celebrities in China can reach the level of Chen Daoming? It can be said that there are almost none.

When Chen Daoming was young, he was also a handsome young man who could act in idol dramas. Later, he became a talented actor and played the role of Emperor Kangxi, which completely consolidated his position in the entertainment industry. As long as he does not make any particularly big mistakes, he will always be at the top of the entertainment industry.

The mainland is such a big place, with so many people in the country and so many people in the entertainment industry, but there is only one Chen Daoming.

Li Boda and Sister Wang chatted and laughed for a while, and then Sister Wang told Li Boda a lot about Tangren Film and Television's new projects.

Li Boda also learned that the game that Cai Yinong was interested in was "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Of course, Li Boda had never played this game before, so Sister Wang specially downloaded the game on her office computer so that Li Boda could play it.

Li Boda played the game several times and became familiar with it. Sister Wang then took Li Boda to meet Cai Yinong and Li Guoli, the director of the TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Li Guoli is also a veteran of Tangren and has directed many works before.

For example, during an interview, Li Boda mentioned that his favorite TV series, such as "The Twins," "The Mermaid," and "The Lotus Lantern," were all directed or filmed by him. He has a lot of say within Tangren Film and Television.

"Hello, Mr. Cai, hello, Director Li!" After seeing the two people, Li Boda immediately greeted them with respect and a well-behaved face.

"Boda, you're here." Cai Yinong greeted Li Boda with a smile, then said to Li Guoli with a smile, "Boda is currently the most popular artist at Tangren. He was the most outstanding in this year's most popular films, 'Snow Flower Goddess Dragon' and 'A Chinese Ghost Story'. Especially when filming 'A Chinese Ghost Story', his performance on the crew was so good that the director and others gave him more scenes, and in the end they forcibly promoted him from the fifth male lead to the first male lead."

"Oh? So powerful?" Li Guoli raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Boda in surprise, even circling around Li Boda.

"Do you know kung fu?" Li Guoli asked.

"I've learned it for a few years. I've practiced some boxing, swordsmanship, and knife techniques." Li Boda replied.

"You've practiced swordsmanship, so why don't you show me?"

"Okay, Director Li." Li Boda responded, took out the sword that Sister Wang had prepared in advance, and directly performed a set of Hengshan School sword techniques.

Li Boda actually knew quite a few sword techniques at that time, but in terms of fancy, the Hengshan School's sword techniques were the most beautiful and fancy.
