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

Chapter 62 Character Design
After a week of martial arts training, the filming of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" officially started.

There were also many reporters at the opening ceremony, but most of these reporters were invited by Tangren.

After all, if famous actors are not optimistic about the TV series adapted from the game "Chinese Paladin" and do not participate in it, naturally most people outside are also not optimistic about this drama. If it were not for Tangren giving red envelopes, and if the protagonists Li Boda and Liu Yifei were more or less famous, these reporters might not have come in large numbers.

Even the opening ceremony of this TV series did not feel as lively as the one when Li Boda was filming "The Four Famous Constables Meet in the Capital".

But it's also true that "The Four Great Constables Meet in the Capital" is based on a martial arts novel, so it already has a certain level of popularity. Besides Li Boda, most of the actors in the show are also well-known. Not to mention the male actors, the female actors alone—Li Xiang, Wang Yan, and Jiang Qinqin—are all quite famous. Unlike "The Legend of the Sword Immortal," only the male and female leads are well-known. The rest of the second and third male and female roles are either virtually unknown or completely new.

Although Mr. Xu, who plays the villain Moon Worshiper, is quite famous, he is not young anymore and can only be considered an ordinary supporting actor, so he does not attract much attention.

Because the drama itself was not very popular, the reporters did not ask any overly sharp questions.

Everything went smoothly and the opening ceremony ended.

After the opening ceremony, the crew officially entered the filming stage.

For Li Boda now, filming is really too easy.

No matter what scene he was filming, as long as Li Boda stood in front of the camera, he would instantly get into the role and instantly become Li Xiaoyao.

As long as there are no problems with the people acting with Li Boda, it can basically be passed in one take.

Of course, the drama "Chinese Paladin" was positioned by Tangren as a costume fantasy idol drama, and the acting skills required of the actors are not high. This is why the main actors in the crew are almost all newcomers.

But even so, people like Liu Yifei, Ady An, Liu Pinhao and even Peng Yuyan often couldn't find their form when filming, and were forced to make continuous NGs.

Therefore, after a few days of filming, the gap between Li Boda's acting skills and theirs was already apparent.

This also made many people in the crew have a different view of Li Boda.

After all, not to mention Li Boda’s fame, his acting skills are also so outstanding.

Director Li Guoli was extremely satisfied with Li Boda's performance. He even felt that choosing Li Boda to play the role of Li Xiaoyao was the right choice. If Hu Ge had played the role, although this was an idol drama and the requirements for actors were not high, he would definitely not be able to perform to the level of Li Boda.

Li Boda was adjusting his state while filming.

For Li Boda, the role of Li Xiaoyao was not difficult to play.

But I don’t know if it’s a problem with the script or the director’s poor positioning of the character Li Xiaoyao.

According to the script, Li Xiaoyao seems like a gangster!

Can you say he's quirky? Not really. He even gives people the impression of being a small-time gangster or a thug.

Everything he does is extremely unreliable.

Even if you act according to the script, if you are not careful, you will make the character look greasy.

It is difficult for the audience to have a good impression of this kind of character, at least this was the case with Li Xiaoyao in the early days.

So when Li Boda was filming, he made some adjustments to the character of Li Xiaoyao. He didn't change the play or the script.

The same plot can produce completely different results with just a little more effort put into the performance.

When Li Boda made corresponding adjustments to the role of Li Xiaoyao, he even referred to the role of Xiaoyuer, the Xiaoyuer in "The Twins". The Xiaoyuer played by Lin Zhiying gave people a very good feeling.

Of course, we can’t copy Xiaoyuer’s character. After all, there is still a big gap between the characters of Li Xiaoyao and Xiaoyuer.

It was thanks to Li Boda's inheritance of Li Kuilei that he gained his own unique insights into filming. He also possessed the abilities of an excellent actor, or even a movie star-level actor.

So after Li Boda slightly adjusted his performance style, the Li Xiaoyao played by Li Boda became a character who was a bit ruffian, a bit bad, a bit sinister, but also very sunny and cheerful.

This makes the character of Li Xiaoyao more charming and more likely to attract girls.

In fact, it was this adjustment made by Li Boda that made director Li Guoli like Li Boda more and more.

Li Guoli even sometimes wondered, if he really listened to Cai Yinong and let Hu Ge play Li Xiaoyao, would Hu Ge portray Li Xiaoyao as a greasy gangster?

Thinking about it this way, Li Guoli realized that it would definitely be a terrible disaster.

He decisively blocked Hu Ge's image from his mind.

"Ka! Boda, good performance, this scene passed!" Li Guoli announced with a smile that this scene passed.

Seeing Director Li Guoli's cheerful face, the other crew members were not surprised. After all, they were not blind and could see that Li Boda's acting was indeed excellent. It would be strange if Li Guoli was not happy to film Li Boda's scenes.

After filming a scene, Li Boda came to the side and sat in his chair to rest for a while.

At this time, Liu Yifei came over again.

"Li Boda, why are you so good at filming? Didn't you say you majored in civil engineering? Why are you so good at acting? You hardly ever have to do any NGs while filming." Liu Yifei ran to Li Boda to learn from him.

Li Boda hesitated for a moment, as if thinking about how to answer Liu Yifei, and then, under Liu Yifei's expectant gaze, he said: "Well, it's talent!"

Liu Yifei was so angry at Li Boda's answer that she wanted to hit him.

"Okay, Xixi, what Boda said is right. Boda is indeed an actor with extraordinary talent." Liu Xiaoli was worried about Liu Yifei coming to see Li Boda alone, especially the better Li Boda's performance, the more worried she was.

"Talent. My talent is not bad either." Liu Yifei said with a pout.

"Yes, your talent lies in your face, which is particularly suitable for acting in costume dramas." Li Boda nodded in agreement.

"Right, I told you I have talent too." Liu Yifei actually thought that Li Boda was praising her and was quite proud of it.

Liu Xiaoli next to her was speechless.
