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

Chapter 86: Fooling, then lying
After the half-month martial arts training ended, the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" began to hold a press conference for the start of filming.

Zhang Da Huzi's TV series, especially Jin Yong's dramas, are never lacking in popularity.

Therefore, at the press conference for the start of filming of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", a large number of reporters and media came one after another. Even many reporters were unable to enter the "The Return of the Condor Heroes" crew because they did not have passes.

Zhuo Wei, as a paparazzi for a relatively unknown new magazine, was actually not eligible for a pass.

It’s just that Zhuo Wei had a pleasant cooperation with Li Boda before, so Li Boda used his connections to help Zhuo Wei get a pass, so that Zhuo Wei could come to the press conference for the start of filming.

For this, Zhuo Wei was very grateful to Li Boda, and at the same time he was thinking about cooperating with Li Boda as much as possible in the future.

Of course, Li Boda is also the only big-name star that Zhuo Wei can get at the moment. Apart from Li Boda, Zhuo Wei has no other choice.

At the press conference for the launch of The Return of the Condor Heroes, in addition to Zhang Da Huzi himself who attracted a lot of attention from reporters, Li Boda, the actor who played Yang Guo, also attracted a lot of attention from reporters.

After all, the selection of the role of Yang Guo was subject to all kinds of news and hype, and the outside world once thought that the role of Yang Guo would fall on Nie Yuan, and then it became a competition between Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan, and then Nie Yuan broke the news about the transaction between Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Da Huzi, and so on.

In the end, the role of Yang Guo fell to Li Boda, a candidate that few people had originally favored.

"Li Boda, what do you think about being able to play the role of Yang Guo?"

"Ideas? I have a very happy idea. Then I will definitely shoot well and try my best to portray the role of Yang Guo well. After all, so many predecessors have played the role of Yang Guo very successfully before..." Li Boda's words were also very nice.

However, Li Boda's response did not cause any hot spots or explosive points.

"Li Boda, there were rumors that Huang Xiaoming would play the role of Yang Guo. So why is it you who plays the role now? Is there any inside story behind this?"

"That's not easy for me to answer. I personally think that the reason why I was able to play the role of Yang Guo is because Director Zhang thought I was more suitable for the role of Yang Guo." Li Boda smiled and turned the topic to Zhang Da Huzi.

"That's right. Considering all aspects, we all agree that Li Boda is the most suitable for the role of Yang Guo. Yifei, the actress who plays Xiaolongnu, strongly recommended Li Boda at the beginning. And Li Boda and Yifei are indeed a very good match together..." Zhang Da Huzi said with a smile.

"Yifei, why did you strongly recommend Li Boda to play the role of Yang Guo? What is your relationship with Li Boda? Did you know each other before? When did you meet? What is your private relationship? Or are you in love?" The reporters began to focus on Liu Yifei again. This topic was much hotter than the previous ones.

"Don't talk nonsense. Li Boda and I are just good friends. We have filmed a movie together before. Li Boda and I are both the protagonists..." Liu Yifei's face was full of seriousness as she explained solemnly.

When facing reporters' questions, other people were more or less perfunctory or putting on a show, but Liu Yifei was the only one who was particularly serious at this time. She would explain every question carefully.

Many reporters also noticed Liu Yifei's seriousness, and they became more excited and started asking questions to Liu Yifei.

"Liu Yifei, are you and Li Boda really just good friends? Don't you have any other feelings for him?"

"Other ideas? What other ideas? Are you going to ask me again whether Li Boda and I are in a relationship? My answer is no. Could you please stop asking this question? I have already answered you very seriously just now. Couldn't you hear me clearly? You have to ask over and over again. It's very annoying." Liu Yifei frowned and said unhappily.

Seeing Liu Yifei like this, many people present couldn't help laughing.

Then more reporters tried to get Liu Yifei to talk, such as whether there was any inside information during the audition for the role, or something else.

However, when facing the questions from these reporters, Liu Yifei did not reveal anything. Well, in fact, Liu Yifei knew nothing about those inside stories.

Although Liu Yifei got the role of Wang Yuyan by using connections and money, it goes without saying that she got the role of Xiaolongnu this time.

However, no one told her the truth. Almost all of Liu Yifei's affairs were handled by her mother Liu Xiaoli. Liu Yifei knew nothing about the behind-the-scenes deals and financial transactions.

So these reporters wanted to start with Liu Yifei and dig out the inside story of the crew and other aspects, but it can only be said that they found the wrong person.

Later, the reporters saw Liu Yifei's confused look and confirmed that she really didn't know anything. As for whether it was acting?

No one would believe that this is acting, because if it is acting, with this level of acting, why would Liu Yifei still be filming TV series? Wouldn't it be better to just make movies and win an international film queen award?
So the reporters turned their attention back to Li Boda.

At this time, a reporter asked Li Boda in a loud voice.

"Li Boda, when you were on the set of Turn Left, Turn Right, you said you were chosen because you were cheap. But as far as I know, your salary for The Return of the Condor Heroes was quite high. So why did the crew of The Return of the Condor Heroes still choose you to play Yang Guo this time?"

When others heard the reporter ask this, they couldn't help laughing.

After all, what Li Boda said at the press conference for the launch of "Turn Left, Turn Right" caused a lot of buzz. After all, in that era, no one would directly and openly say that they were cheap like Li Boda did.

"I have to thank you, my journalist friends," Li Boda said happily.

When the reporter heard what Li Boda said, question marks began to appear in his head.

"It's mainly because you journalists are so awesome. When I was on the set of Turn Left, Turn Right, people said I was cheap and underpaid. After your coverage and publicity, a lot of crews have contacted me, hoping to invite me to star in their TV series because of my low pay."

"It's just that you all know that when a person is competed for by many crews, some crews will start to raise their prices. This crew raised a little, that crew raised a little, and in the end, my salary increased a lot without me noticing."

"To be honest, I'm still confused. When I looked at my salary, I was shocked. Is this really my salary? Is there a mistake? Am I really that expensive?"

Li Boda's way of speaking is a bit humorous, especially when combined with his deliberately exaggerated performance style, which is somewhat similar to Stephen Chow's nonsensical exaggeration.

Many people at the scene couldn't help laughing when they saw Li Boda like this.

At the same time, many reporters began to write down what Li Boda said. After all, Li Boda's words more or less gave the reporters a little more positive light.

Reporters don't mind bragging about their own role when writing news about Li Boda.

At this time, Zhang Da Huzi also joined in the fun.

"That's right. When Li Boda auditioned, he performed very well. Both his acting skills and kung fu were absolutely first-rate. All of us who auditioned were attracted by Li Boda. When we decided to let Li Boda play the leading role of Yang Guo, we called Li Boda's agent. When we heard Li Boda's salary, we were all shocked." Zhang Da Huzi said exaggeratedly.

Anyway, at this time, the more exaggerated the words are, the more justifiable it will be for Li Boda to receive a high salary, and the more troubles can be avoided.

"Director Zhang, since Li Boda's salary is so high, why did you choose Li Boda instead of other actors with lower salaries to play Yang Guo?" The reporter stood up and asked.

"When we make a TV series, we don't cast whoever has the lowest pay. We are responsible for the TV series! When we make a TV series, we want to make it better. We will make corresponding compromises as long as it is beneficial to the filming of the TV series."

"Li Boda is excellent, very excellent. Among the younger generation of actors, Li Boda's acting skills are definitely among the best. I think Li Boda's acting skills are more than enough for him to even appear in a movie."

"So, based on the principle of making the best possible TV series, even though Li Boda's salary might be slightly higher, we still chose him because we believe that he can definitely bring the role of Yang Guo to a new level, and our drama will definitely become a classic among classics..."

Zhang Da Huzi's voice sounded particularly passionate, as if he would pay any price as long as he could make a good TV series.

At this moment, even countless people looking at Zhang Da Hu Zi's figure felt that Zhang Da Hu Zi seemed to be glowing.

Of course, some people who knew who Zhang Da Huzi was, or who knew the inside story, couldn't help but secretly spit in their hearts.

At the same time, I can't help but admire Zhang Da Huzi. No wonder Zhang Da Huzi's TV series can attract so much investment. It's all thanks to his mouth that he can fool people.
