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

Chapter 20 The Choice of Film and Television Companies
Li Boda decided to find an agent for himself, or rather, a backer for himself. He began to inquire about agents and film and television companies in the entertainment industry.

Currently, in addition to the agents in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the most famous agents in mainland China are Wang Jinghua, Chang Jihong, Li Xiaowan and others.

These agents work in film and television companies such as Huayi Brothers, Hairun Pictures, and Rongxinda Pictures.

Of course, whether it is Huayi Brothers, Hairun Pictures, or Rong Xinda Pictures, for Li Boda now, they all need to look up to them.

Given Li Boda's current situation, it would be difficult for him to join these companies, and even if he did, he wouldn't necessarily be able to obtain many good resources. Of course, no matter what, as long as he joined any of them, the resources that Li Boda could obtain would be much better than what he currently has.

In addition to these film and television companies, Li Boda also found out about Zhouyi Film and Television, Tangren Film and Television, Ciwen Media, Xinbaoyuan Film and Television and other film and television companies.

These latter film and television companies are more than 10% weaker than companies like Huayi Brothers.

For example, Tangren Film and Television was founded in 95. After its establishment, Tangren Film and Television has organized many projects and filmed many TV shows, and they are all very popular.

For example, "The Twins", "The Mermaid", "The Lotus Lantern", "The Book and the Sword", etc.

These TV series are very good in terms of ratings and reputation.

However, the protagonists of these TV series are not artists from Tangren Film and Television's own company.

The artists from their own company all play supporting roles, or even minor supporting roles.

Li Boda felt that if he joined Tangren Film and Television, he would probably continue to play supporting roles, and his chances of playing the leading role would not be great.

Of course, we can't be too sure.

In the TV series previously directed by Tangren Film and Television, the protagonists were all played by artists from other companies, and they were all promoting artists from other companies. This may be because Tangren Film and Television did not have enough good artists of its own, so it had no one to promote even if it wanted to.

What if Tangren Film and Television is short of staff and Li Boda joins Tangren at this time? Who knows, he might be promoted by Tangren Film and Television and might even play the leading role at some point?

So Li Boda marked it as a highlight at Tangren Film and Television Company.

Then there is Zhouyi Film and Television. Zhouyi Film and Television gives Li Boda a feeling similar to Tangren Film and Television, no, it should be said that it is different.

Zhouyi Film and Television has also produced several TV series on its own, which have received very good ratings and reputation.

For example, "Qinghe Juelian", "Wulin Waishi" and even "Love Across Time and Space" and "Xiao Shiyilang" in which Li Boda once played supporting roles.

In some TV dramas, Zhou Yi also invited artists from other companies to play the leading roles, but Zhou Yi also promoted his own artists at the same time.

According to Li Boda, Yu Bo, Yang Junyi, and Zhang Jin of Zhouyi Film and Television are all the company's top artists. They all debuted as action stars.

Li Boda could also be considered an action star, after all, he's very good at fighting scenes and quite capable. If he were to audition at Zhouyi Film and Television, his chances of being accepted would be very high. However, there's a downside: Yu Bo, Yang Junyi, and Zhang Jin were already in the cast ahead of Li Boda.

Li Boda's attributes overlap with those of the other three, so will Zhouyi Film and Television promote them or Li Boda?

Obviously, Zhouyi Film and Television should focus on supporting Yu Bo and the other three.

As for promoting all four of them together? Zhouyi Films isn't Huayi Brothers, so how could they possibly have so many resources? Even Huayi Brothers wouldn't be able to promote four male stars with overlapping attributes at once.

So even though Zhouyi Film and Television was very much in line with Li Boda's attributes and appetite, Li Boda drew a line on this company.

Then there is Ciwen Media...

Of course, in reality, Rong Xinda Film and Television is still a step behind Huayi Brothers. In fact, it can only be said to be one level higher than the current Tangren Film and Television. Rong Xinda has its own excellent works and also has its own excellent artists, and it can also make its own artists famous, such as Zhou Xun and other artists.

However, Rong Xinda is good at shooting emotional dramas, such as "Thunderstorm", "The Story of the Palace of Eternal Life", "April in the World", "The Oranges Are Red", etc.

These dramas are not what Li Boda is good at, nor are they what Li Boda likes. After all, even if this kind of drama is very popular and can trigger the golden finger, the feedback from the golden finger will not bring Li Boda too many benefits he wants.

So from this perspective, Li Boda is not suitable for Rong Xinda.

Li Boda really studied these companies carefully.

Then I hesitated about which company to go to.

Okay, that seems a little funny to say.

Li Boda did use cheats, but the cheats he used were quite small, at least for now.

So if he wants to sign a contract with a film and television company or an agent, it depends on whether they are willing to have him, not whether he is willing to go to their company.

In fact, no matter which company it is, as long as Li Boda signs the contract, it will be better than his current situation of running away from orders.

It’s just a matter of future development prospects, so Li Boda needs to make a choice among these.

Li Boda almost didn't consider companies like Huayi Brothers.

Because big companies do have a lot of resources, but they also have a lot of artists, so the competition can be very fierce.

Even if Li Boda, who wasn't famous and didn't even graduate from a film and television major, joined the team head-on, could he grab any resources? Apart from some scraps, he wouldn't be able to grab anything unless he became famous or was irreplaceable.

Of course, Li Boda's good skills are a selling point.

But, but!

It is 2002, and martial arts dramas are very popular. Which actor doesn't have some skills?

Why didn't Li Boda consider going to Hong Kong when he was considering signing a contract with a film and television company?

If Li Boda asked Zhao Wenzhuo for help, he would get some preferential treatment, right?

However, once he went to Hong Kong, how could Li Boda compete with the local people in Hong Kong for resources?
Not to mention that places like Hong Kong and Taiwan are extremely xenophobic, even if they are not xenophobic.

How did Li Boda compete with others? Was it his physical prowess?

Stop kidding. There are so many good fighting actors in Hong Kong.

For Li Boda, that kind of place is more competitive than the internal competitiveness of Zhouyi Film and Television.

Anyone you pick out can fight, fight and fight bravely.

There was no competitiveness at all when Li Boda went there.

So a small Karami like Li Boda should forget about going to a big company like Huayi Brothers.
