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

Chapter 178 Thanks
The drama "Meteor Shower" is a TV series co-invested by Hunan TV and Tianyu Media.

So from the beginning, this drama was positioned as a youth idol drama led by Hunan TV. The main characters, and even the main roles, were all artists under Hunan TV or Tianyu Media.

Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for outside artists to get involved, at least under normal circumstances.

However, there are also abnormal situations.

For example, as Li Boda said, he could invest in this TV series, but not through Magic Cube Technology, but in the name of his studio. After all, the studio itself has a focus on investing in film and television, such as the previous "Crazy Stone".

As for whether Hunan TV and Tianyu Media will accept the investment from Li Boda Studio—that's not a problem at all!

In fact, most TV series and movies welcome foreign investment.

Because no one can guarantee that a TV series or movie will be successful, most production teams are willing to accept other investments to share the risk.

At the same time, not all companies or production teams have abundant cash reserves. Having money doesn't necessarily mean having enough to invest in a particular project. After all, a company may not only invest in one project.

In addition, Li Boda's "Magic Cube Technology" is in a very good position. In the field of mobile phone systems, it has already occupied a large market share in mainland China. It seems that "Magic Cube Technology" is about to become a giant in the technology industry. Therefore, although "Magic Cube Technology" is not an entertainment company, both Hunan TV and Tianyu Media are willing to take this opportunity to establish a friendly impression.

After all, these days, high-tech companies are seen as very prestigious and prestigious by many people. So, apart from companies that might compete with 'Magic Cube Technology', other industries are happy to build good relationships with 'Magic Cube Technology'.

So when Sister Wang, carrying Li Boda's wishes, went to contact the "Meteor Shower" production team, she was not rejected, but rather received in a very friendly manner.

In the end, not only did they accept Li Boda Studio's intention to invest in the TV series "Meteor Shower," but "Magic Cube Technology" even became an advertiser for the series. The "Meteor Shower" production team also specifically stated that they would give "Silly Girl Mobile System" some close-up shots in the TV series.

Li Boda didn't even show up; Sister Wang had already finalized the deal. Afterwards, Sister Wang and the marketing department of 'Magic Cube Technology' went to Tianyu Media to sign the contract.

Meanwhile, Zhao Liying, who was filming "The Legend of Nezha" prequel, had just finished filming a scene. Afterwards, she picked up her script and prepared to continue studying the script and her character to improve her acting skills. Her assistant, Xiao Fang, excitedly ran over with her phone in hand.

Xiao Fang, Zhao Liying's assistant, was specially found for Zhao Liying by Xiao Yuan.

Similarly, Li Boda's new assistant, Xiao Yuan, was also assigned to him. She was a girl named Xiao Bian with an average appearance.

Neither Xiao Fang nor Xiao Bian are particularly beautiful. In fact, they are both on the rounder side, because girls with this body type tend to be stronger, which makes it easier for them to carry things when taking care of people on set.

In terms of personality, she is not the kind of person who is particularly eloquent, but she is quite meticulous.

Anyway, Li Boda and Zhao Liying both felt that the assistant Xiaoyuan found was quite easy to use.

"Sister Liying, Sister Liying..." Xiao Fang ran excitedly to Zhao Liying.

"What's wrong, Xiao Fang?" Zhao Liying looked at Xiao Fang, who seemed agitated, and was a little confused.

"Sister Wang just called and asked you to call her back when you have time." Xiao Fang handed the phone to Zhao Liying.

"Is it Sister Wang on the phone?" Zhao Liying took the phone.

"Sister Liying, it seems like Sister Wang is looking for you for some good news this time."

"Is it good news? Is there a new drama?" Zhao Liying's eyes brightened, and a happy look appeared on her face.

Zhao Liying felt that leaving Huayi Brothers and signing with Li Boda's studio was absolutely the right choice. Look at her – immediately after signing, she filmed a movie, playing the lead role. Now she's landed a role in "The Legend of Nezha," although not the lead, but the film has a very high chance of being a hit. She's already got work even before finishing this film. Unlike at Huayi Brothers, where she was lucky to have 65 days of filming a year, and even then, the roles weren't necessarily good.

"I should say, when Sister Wang called, she sounded quite happy. It must be because you got a good role, Liying, maybe even the lead role," Xiao Fang said, fantasizing. As Zhao Liying's assistant, Xiao Fang just wanted Zhao Liying to film as many movies as possible and get as many good roles as possible.

After all, the better Zhao Liying's career develops, the better benefits and treatment her assistant will receive.

"Leading lady? What are you dreaming about? It would be great if Sister Wang could find me a supporting role, like the third or fourth female lead." Zhao Liying couldn't help but laugh and tapped Xiao Fang's head, almost knocking him over.

Zhao Liying is much stronger than the average girl; she could be considered a strongwoman among women.

Zhao Liying felt that Xiao Fang's claim that Sister Wang would arrange a leading role for her was unreliable, but she still had a little hope in her heart. What if, what if she could play the leading role?

However, this fantasy was just a tiny bit; Zhao Liying herself was still very rational.

Just as Zhao Liying said to Xiao Fang, perhaps the role that Sister Wang found for her this time is a relatively good third or fourth female lead role.

When Zhao Liying called back, she was stunned to hear from Sister Wang that the studio had gotten her a role in a remake of the Taiwanese idol drama "Meteor Garden," titled "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower Together," and that she would be playing the lead role of Chu Yuxun.

He was completely stunned, not even noticing when the call ended.

Looking at the dazed Zhao Liying, Xiao Fang asked with some concern, "Sister Liying, Sister Liying, what did Sister Wang say on the phone?"

"Xiao Fang, you...you can tell fortunes, right? Sister Wang got me a lead role in a drama, and it's even an adaptation of 'Meteor Shower,' called 'Let's Watch the Meteor Shower Together.' I'm playing the lead—" "Ah!!!"

Before Zhao Liying could react, Xiao Fang suddenly screamed.

Not only did Zhao Liying get a fright, but everyone else in the crew was also startled by Xiao Fang's shout.

After realizing what had happened, Zhao Liying quickly bowed and apologized to everyone on the set.

When the crew learned that Zhao Liying's studio had arranged a leading role for her, they understood why Zhao Liying was so excited—no, it was Zhao Liying's assistant, Xiao Fang, who was excited…

After offering a proper apology, Zhao Liying asked Xiao Fang to buy a large quantity of milk tea and deliver it to everyone on the set.

Zhao Liying, on the other hand, never let her lips fall from the corner of her mouth from beginning to end.

Even when she was apologizing, she was in a good mood.

After hurriedly finishing filming her scenes as Ao Tingxin, Zhao Liying immediately rushed back to Shanghai and her studio.

"Boss, thank you, thank you, thank you boss..." As soon as Zhao Liying returned, the first thing she did was to thank Li Boda.

Especially after learning that Li Boda had invested in and sponsored the role of Chu Yuxun, the female lead in the drama "Meteor Shower," Zhao Liying was even more grateful to him.

In the end, she thanked everyone until her voice was hoarse.

After her voice improved slightly, Zhao Liying took the script for "Meteor Shower" and studied it relentlessly. She even found the TV series "Meteor Garden" and later looked up the "Boys Over Flowers" comic book.

She really went all out to make this film a success.

However, Zhao Liying didn't have time to research for long before filming for "Meteor Shower" began.

Zhao Liying was overjoyed and went straight to the set.

Although Zhao Liying was not very famous at the time, the four male leads of "Meteor Shower" were also not very famous.

However, it caused quite a stir, especially with Hunan TV, which hyped up the show. Even though filming hadn't started yet, Hunan TV was already broadcasting all sorts of news and information about the show.

These days, Hunan TV has very high viewership ratings, especially in recent years, as it has imported many Korean idol dramas and accumulated a large number of loyal fans of idol dramas.

The domestic production of the idol drama "Meteor Shower" has generated considerable anticipation among idol drama fans even before filming has begun, thanks to the promotion by Hunan TV.

Thus, amidst the anticipation of numerous die-hard fans of idol dramas in China, Zhao Liying joined the cast of "Meteor Shower" and began filming with her head down.

As for Li Boda, although he wasn't filming, he was still quite busy.

As mentioned before, even if you dominate the majority of the domestic market for mobile operating systems, making money is not easy. Unless Li Boda takes Magic Cube Technology public, it's not easy or fast to make big money.

In particular, Li Boda himself was unwilling to sell his shares in 'Magic Cube Technology'.

Given this situation, Li Boda had no choice but to find more profit opportunities for the company from other aspects.

The new profit point that Li Boda thought of was naturally mobile phones!

Yes, Li Boda wanted to make mobile phones.

There are simply too many mobile phone brands in China right now, big and small, hundreds or even more.

The reason there are so many mobile phone manufacturers is naturally because making mobile phones is profitable.

Therefore, Li Boda spent the next period of time developing mobile phones. With Li Boda's abilities, developing a mobile phone was not a difficult task.

However, to create an excellent mobile phone that is suitable for this era, Li Boda would need to expend more energy and waste more time.

After all, Li Boda's technological level was simply too high. If he wasn't careful, the phone he made might be too advanced.

It's not that being ahead of the curve is bad, but at least it shouldn't be too far ahead of the curve.

In addition, Li Boda couldn't do everything by himself, so he needed to recruit people, which wasted even more of his energy, leaving him even less time to take on acting roles.
