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

Chapter 77 [Turn left, turn right]

"Boda, how was it? Did the audition go well?"

After the audition, Sister Wang asked Li Boda very nervously.

"It should be going smoothly. Regardless of whether it's showing my acting skills or displaying my kung fu, I've done everything I should do. As for whether I can be selected in the end, it depends on what Big Beard Zhang thinks." Li Boda said softly.

"Boda, your acting skills and kung fu are so great. Since the audition went so smoothly, there shouldn't be any problem." Sister Wang comforted Li Boda.

Li Boda smiled and didn't continue talking about it. No matter what Zhang Da Huzi chose, Li Boda was determined to get the role of Yang Guo.

Li Boda didn't care whether there would be any twists and turns in the process.

"Boda, Zhang Da Huzi is notoriously slow in filming. Now, there are auditions for the roles in "The Return of the Condor Heroes". It will take a long time from the time the roles are finalized to the time filming starts. During this period, we can't just wait for "The Return of the Condor Heroes". It will take too long." Sister Wang said from the side.

"So Sister Wang means that I should take on another drama before filming The Return of the Condor Heroes?"

"Yes, before filming The Return of the Condor Heroes, take on another drama. Boda, you're pretty famous now. Although the company isn't very willing to give you resources, it's pretty easy for you to take on external dramas. In fact, I have a few dramas you can take a look at. If you think they're good, we can try to get them."

"Okay, let's see if there are any good plays." Li Boda said with a smile.

After returning to the company, Sister Wang took out several scripts that she had obtained through her own channels.

[The Four Treasures of the Emperor], [A Gentleman's Love for a Beautiful Woman], [The Sassy Princess], [Turn Left, Turn Right], etc.

Most of them are costume dramas and costume martial arts dramas.

Li Boda is no longer as eager for costume martial arts dramas as he was at the beginning. Unless it is a Jin Yong drama like "The Return of the Condor Heroes" that can enhance Li Boda's status and popularity, he is no longer interested in other costume martial arts dramas.

So Li Boda just flipped through them casually, and found that this type of script was not very good, and the quality could only be said to be relatively average.

As for the scripts such as "The Four Treasures of the Emperor", Li Boda rejected them without a second thought as soon as he saw the scenes with bald heads and pigtails.

It’s not that Li Boda cares too much about his image and doesn’t want to shave his head.

In fact, actors don’t care that much about their own image.

Not to mention many actors in Hong Kong, it has become common for handsome guys to make up to look ugly men and beautiful girls to look ugly women when filming. Even in mainland China, it is very common to let actors dress up ugly when filming.

The main reason is that Li Boda doesn't like to be too accustomed to the type of drama with bald head and pigtails.

Unless the script is particularly wonderful or the characters are particularly outstanding, Li Boda will never accept this kind of bald-headed and pigtailed play.

"Boda, I've told you before that you have a good image and are relatively popular among female audiences, so we could try filming an idol drama, such as Turn Left, Turn Right."

"【Turn left, turn right】?" Li Boda picked up the script that Sister Wang pushed over to him.

This is a modern drama and also an idol drama.

The protagonist, Shen Shitao, comes from a wealthy family, is a talented violinist, and is a refined and considerate man. Due to his father, Shen Jun,'s obstruction of his musical career, he parted ways with his father and left home, renting an old apartment building. With music as his daily companion, he finds a comfortable life. Whenever he leaves the house, he always turns left...

Seeing that the protagonist was a talented violinist, Li Boda's eyes moved slightly.

Violinist, violin!
Li Boda thought of the violin. It seemed quite elegant. Being able to play the violin would be something he could show off to others.

If there is no other better choice, considering the violin skills, it seems that this drama can be filmed.

Afterwards, Li Boda looked at the script again and found that it seemed quite good.

It is the TV version of the movie "Turn Left, Turn Right".

However, in general, when it comes to TV series adapted from movies, or movies adapted from TV series, the actors in the two versions will inevitably make the audience have a comparison.

As an idol drama, the two versions are compared to show who is ugly and who suffers, and who suffers from poor acting skills.

Li Boda specifically looked up the movie "Turn Left, Turn Right" on the Internet.

In the movie version of "Turn Left, Turn Right", the male lead is Kim Sung-woo.

Seeing Jin Chengwu, Li Boda raised his eyebrows slightly. In terms of appearance, he doesn’t have much advantage!
The rest is about acting.

Li Boda decided to find a random website to watch this movie and see how Jin Chengwu performed in it.

After watching the film, Li Boda's first impression of Jin Chengwu was that he was very handsome! And in terms of acting, he was also quite good!
Although Kim Sung-woo's performance cannot be compared with some veteran actors or movie kings, in this kind of love movie, Kim Sung-woo's performance is more than enough.

So overall, the movie "Turn Left, Turn Right" is a very good love movie.

Nowadays, when filming a TV series, there is still a little bit of pressure. Of course, this pressure mainly comes from the director and other actors in the crew.

After all, whether a play is good or not is not just Li Boda's business.

First of all, the director must have the ability to make a good enough TV series. Secondly, the heroine must be beautiful enough and her acting skills must not be bad.

Finally, there are some supporting roles, which can’t be too bad.

Only in this way can we work together to create an excellent TV series.

As for Li Boda, although he does not have much advantage in terms of appearance because the male lead of the movie version is Jin Chengwu, he still has advantages. In terms of acting skills, Li Boda is naturally full of confidence.

Therefore, when he plays the leading male role, even if he is compared with others, he will never think that he will lose to the movie version of Kim Sung-woo.

Finally, Li Boda decided to shoot this movie. At present, the prerequisite is that at least the female lead must be beautiful and outstanding enough.

However, although Li Boda was willing to shoot this movie.

But when Sister Wang took the initiative to contact the production team, the other party said that they did not exclude Li Boda, but would rather invite Lu Yi to play the male lead!
The reason is that last year, Lu Yi filmed a modern idol drama "Beauty and the Brilliant Man", which had very good ratings. The production team believed that the audience would like Lu Yi's modern look more.

Although Li Boda is still quite famous, he has only filmed costume dramas and has never filmed a modern drama.

Therefore, the production crew was a little unsure whether Li Boda could make a good modern drama and whether it would be popular.

When Li Boda learned the news, he was a little speechless.

Before, he was still thinking about whether he should take on other people's roles, and then he considered it from this aspect and analyzed it from that aspect.

In the end, people wanted to find Lu Yi to film this movie.

"Sister Wang——" Li Boda didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, Boda. Although Lu Yi is quite famous, you are not bad either. I will contact him and try my best to win him over." Sister Wang patted Li Boda's shoulder and comforted him.

"It's still not famous enough!"

After Sister Wang left, Li Boda thought silently in his heart. At the same time, Li Boda attached even more importance to the play "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

Before this, Li Boda had appeared in Jin Yong's dramas and played the leading role in them.

So this time, when he wanted to act in the TV series "Turn Left, Turn Right", he would definitely not encounter this situation.

Just when Li Boda thought that he would not be able to star in the TV series "Turn Left, Turn Right" this time.

Sister Wang brought back good news.

"Boda, I've got the play [Turn Left, Turn Right] for you." Sister Wang said with a beaming smile.

"Got it? Thank you, Sister Wang! I knew that you are the best. But Sister Wang, doesn't the production team prefer Lu Yi?" Li Boda asked curiously.

"The main thing is that you're cheap enough!"

"Ah?" Li Boda was a little confused.

"Lu Yi's status is higher than yours, and his salary is much higher than yours. So I took the initiative to reduce your salary. Is that okay?" Sister Wang said a little embarrassedly.

"I don't really mind if my pay drops a bit. After all, compared to the pay from filming, commercial performances can make money much faster. But how much has my pay dropped?" Although Li Boda said that he didn't care much, he was still a little concerned about how much his pay would be reduced.

"20% discount, your salary is discounted by 20%. Boda, although your salary is a little less this time, as long as you shoot this drama, then even if the market for modern dramas opens up in the future, you will not lack competitiveness just because you have never shot a modern drama." Sister Wang explained to Li Boda.

"20% off! Okay, no problem, let's just give it 20% off. The missing 20% ​​can be considered as my tuition for violin lessons." Li Boda muttered.

"Boda, what did you say? What do you mean by learning the violin? You want to learn the violin?" Li Boda's voice was not loud, so Sister Wang didn't hear it clearly.

"I mean, the character of the male protagonist Shen Shitao is a talented violinist. Should I learn the violin before filming?" Li Boda said with a smile.

"Are you kidding? You'll be filming soon. How can you have time to learn the violin?" Sister Wang couldn't help laughing.

"Maybe I'm a genius."

"Okay, you're a genius, a great genius, but are you really going to learn the violin?"

"No, I was just joking. Just like what you said, Sister Wang, I want to learn, but I don't have the time."
