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

Chapter 103 Deception
"Boda, I'm so sorry, so sorry! You were really doing me a favor by agreeing to star in my movie for free. We were originally on good terms, but now it's turned out like this. I'm so sorry. It's my fault, it's all my fault. I'll drink three glasses of wine as punishment."

[Jingwei Filling the Sea] In a tavern outside the crew, Ning Hao raised his glass to apologize to Li Boda, and then punished himself with three cups, which made him grimace.

"Director Ning, it's okay if you say so. After all, this was not your idea. It's a pity that such an accident happened. We failed to cooperate this time, but we will have the chance to cooperate again next time!" Li Boda said with a smile.

Although Li Boda was a little depressed because he couldn't make a good movie, what else could he say since director Ning Hao was already in such a state?

Ning Hao seemed to be apologizing seriously and sincerely, and Li Boda naturally had no objection. People on both sides drank and chatted, and slowly, Ning Hao and Li Boda also revealed a lot of things.

After drinking too much, you will more or less lose control when talking.

Even if the mind is clear and knows what to say and what not to say, the mouth is a little out of control.

In addition, Ning Hao had been having a really hard time recently, so he started complaining.

"...I originally thought that my script and I were highly valued by King Liu, so I even had the wildest idea of ​​getting him to guest-star in my movie. I even revised my script several times, turning a character that originally had no role into one that was incredibly prominent. But..."

"Boda, you have no idea! When I heard the announcement that the six million was being cut in half, I really, really cried. I cried right there."

“It’s too difficult. It’s really too difficult for me.”

"How could they do this? If they look down on me, they look down on me, but why do they have to play tricks on me like this? It's so funny, isn't it?"

"I feel that if it weren't for their plan, no mainlander would be out of line, they wouldn't have chosen me, or any mainlander at all."

"I won't accept it. I won't accept it. I'm going to make a good movie and make them regret it!!!"

Ning Hao held Li Boda's hand, crying and shouting.

It was obviously the first time they met, so they really couldn't drink too much of this wine.

Especially when you have encountered something before and feel aggrieved, you must not drink alcohol, because once you drink, you will become the ugly face that Ning Hao is now.

"Brother, come, let's become sworn brothers now and swear an oath of blood... Where's the knife? Where's the knife? Brother, wait a minute, I'll get the knife, and then we'll, let's swear an oath of blood, swear an oath of blood--" Ning Hao said, and rushed to the back kitchen of the tavern.

……

The next day, Li Boda and Ning Hao both had blank expressions, feeling a little embarrassed.

Although they had some memory loss after drinking too much, they still had some impression in their minds. However, when they thought of those intermittent scenes, they both couldn't help but cover their faces.

When they thought about what happened yesterday, both of them were a little afraid to stay together anymore. It was too embarrassing and shameful.

Every time I see him/her, it’s like reminding myself of all the embarrassing things I did when I was drunk yesterday.

"Ahem, well, it's getting late."

"Yes, it's indeed getting late. I still have to go to film today, Director Ning, so I'll leave first?" Li Boda stood up awkwardly.

"Wait!" Ning Hao grabbed Li Boda.

"what?"

"Well, brother, you promised to invest two million in the crew yesterday. We can't go back on our word!" Ning Hao said, holding Li Boda's hand.

"Invest two million? I promised you?" Li Boda was a little confused.

"Yes! You promised me. I said we should swear an oath of blood and become sworn brothers, and you said you would invest two million in my crew to fulfill our brotherhood." Ning Hao nodded seriously.

"Really? But? I don't remember saying that?" Li Boda was a little confused.

"You said it, I remember it clearly. At the beginning, I said my crew was still short of one million. You said one million was nothing and you had to invest two million in me."

"No, I have no recollection of that at all. And even if I did, it was just because I was drunk—"

"Look, you admitted what you said. Two million, that's what we agreed on."

"No, when did I admit it?"

"Didn't you just admit it?"

"...Director Ning, you can't be so deceiving, right?"

"No, Boda, listen to me, listen to me." "Okay, I want to hear what you have to say."

"Boda, the first thing that must be confirmed is that your brother, Ning Hao, and my script [Big Diamond], passed the Asian Rising Star Director Program and got the only mainland spot. This shows that I have my own abilities, and it also shows that my script [Big Diamond] is not bad, right!" Ning Hao said seriously.

"Yes, you are right." Li Boda nodded. Even if Ning Hao was selected only because the mainland needed a quota, even so, Ning Hao's selection was enough to prove his talent.

"So, it's not a loss for you to invest two million in me, your brother! I'm the person chosen by King Liu. If you invest money in me, you will definitely get a huge return after the movie is released, right? You invest two million now, and maybe after the movie is released, you can get two and a half million, or even three million or more. This is such a cost-effective investment!" Ning Hao tried hard to deceive.

"But what if the movie doesn't perform well after it's released and fails?" Li Boda rolled his eyes.

"Look at what you said, how could I fail! The mainland has such a big market, and there are so many directors in the circle. In such a big market, among so many directors, King Liu chose me. I can be selected with such a small probability. Doesn't that mean I am the elite among the elites? Even if I can't compare with big directors like Zhang Yimou, at least I won't make you lose money, right?" Ning Hao tried hard to paint a big picture.

"So, can you guarantee that after I invest two million in you, I will not lose money and will definitely make money?" Li Boda asked back.

"...Well, as for investment, who can tell the wins and losses?" Ning Hao chuckled.

"So you just want to cheat me out of my money, and two million at that!" Li Boda stretched out two fingers.

"No, I'm not trying to cheat you out of your money. I'm investing! Boda, let me tell you, if you work hard, you only earn pennies. It's all small change. Only investing can make you big money."

"If you lose money on an investment, it's always a big loss." Li Boda said.

"... Boda, come here, I brought all my scripts. Take a look at them and see how they are written. As long as you invest, you will not lose money." Ning Hao looked around, took out a script and placed it in front of Li Boda.

"You carry the script with you? Ning Hao, when you first came to me, you said you wanted to apologize, but in fact, I'm afraid your purpose is not pure." Li Boda couldn't help but say as he looked at the script that Ning Hao had prepared long ago.

"How could that be? You think too much. I originally planned to take the script and invite actors." Ning Hao waved his hands and said.

Li Boda rolled his eyes and didn't believe what Ning Hao said at all.

Ning Hao chuckled and opened the script: "Come, let's read the script first."

Ning Hao had no choice.

Although he spent almost all his money, it was still a little short.

Ning Hao had searched all the wealthy people he could get his hands on, but he couldn't get any more money.

He had made many trips to Film and Television Entertainment, and three million was three million, not a penny more.

What can Ning Hao do?
Finally he thought of Li Boda!
Although Li Boda had never made a movie before, he has been very popular in the TV drama circle in the past two years.

A particularly popular actor may not be as wealthy as a big boss, but he definitely has money.

We may not have too much, but we shouldn’t be short of one or two million.

Especially when Li Boda’s agent approached Ning Hao, he was willing to play the role of the international thief Mike for no pay.

So Ning Hao realized that Li Boda definitely had money!
Unable to find other rich people and unable to get money from other rich people, Ning Hao set his sights on Li Boda.

Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, and whether he can get the money or not, Ning Hao has to try it. If he doesn't try, Ning Hao himself will feel that it is too much.

So, Ning Hao contacted Li Boda's executive agent, Sister Wang, and not only informed Li Boda that his role was cancelled, but also apologized to Li Boda in person.

In fact, the apology was fake, and the real purpose was to trick Li Boda into investing during the meeting.

In addition, Li Boda is just a young man, and young people tend to be impulsive. As long as you grasp his pulse, you can fool him with any trick he throws at you.

So, we have the current situation.

"Let's read the script first. After we finish reading the script, we can talk about other things." Ning Hao said quickly, seeing that Li Boda didn't look easy to fool.

Li Boda looked at Ning Hao and saw the confidence hidden in Ning Hao's eyes.

Ning Hao's confidence gave Li Boda more confidence in him.

After all, if Ning Hao himself has no confidence, then this so-called movie will never be successful.

Li Boda looked down at the script in front of him. The beginning was a little messy, but in the end, all the messy plots in the beginning were connected by a kind of coincidence, which gave people a feeling of being amazing.

Ning Hao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Boda had finally started reading the script. This little brother Li Boda was a little hard to fool!
