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

Chapter 214: Detailed Revisions
An actor wearing a bodysuit with patches on his body is making some exaggerated movements.

On the monitor, a silhouette similar to the actor appears, capturing the actor's every move.

At this moment, the crew was filming the scenes with the crawlers.

However, you can't actually bring in a crawler to film, so motion capture effects are used in this case.

Using a unique technology, sensors are placed on a bodysuit, and then motion capture special effects actors will begin to crawl exaggeratedly on the ground as required.

"Cut! No, that movement wasn't quite right. You should exaggerate your movements more during filming. You should do it like this..."

After adjustments, the motion capture actors continued filming until Li Boda was satisfied.

Besides the crawlers, which require motion capture effects, the aliens behind them also require similar filming techniques.

……

"Cut! This scene is over!"

"Congratulations, Milla! Your role has wrapped up." Li Boda said with a smile to Milla Jovovich, the female lead in Resident Evil.

"Thank you. It was a very pleasant experience working with you, Director. I hope we will have the opportunity to work together again in the future." Milla Jovovich said with a bright smile.

Initially, Milla Jovovich didn't have much affection for Li Boda, the director with yellow skin, and didn't even think that Li Boda had any talent.

However, she witnessed firsthand how smoothly the entire crew operated under Li Boda's direction, and how he could easily solve almost all the problems within the crew. She began to think that Li Boda was extraordinary, and even gradually felt that he was not only very capable but also very charismatic.

Women, after all, can't help but feel a little attracted to capable men.

Milla Jovovich, a Hollywood actress who started as a model, genuinely doesn't mind having a close relationship with an attractive man, even though she's now married and has a daughter.

Or rather, in terms of physical intimacy, they are not so, well, conservative at all.

As for Li Boda, he naturally wouldn't mind riding a foreign horse or trying something new.

However, for Li Boda, it was just a taste of something new. He would never maintain a close relationship with female celebrities in China after having sex with them, as he did back then.

The main issue is that, although the foreign woman has a good figure and is very outgoing, her body odor is a little too strong.

Although a good shower can temporarily remove the smell from your body.

But a big-breasted woman can't stay in the water 24 hours a day.

After exercising or working, you work up a sweat, and then the smell comes on. While it might not be the most intoxicating smell, it's definitely not as appealing as the smell of beautiful women in China.

Although perfume can usually mask the smell, sometimes having a keen sense of smell can be a real ordeal.

So Li Boda only got to try it twice, once with Milla Jovovich and once with Michelle Rodriguez.

Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez smiled and said goodbye to Liberty.

Their departure from the film crew means that the movie "Infinite Terror" is already about halfway through filming.

The remaining content consists of a scene from the Main God Space and scenes related to the Alien.

In the "Alien" segment, Li Boda will also appear as the character Chu Xuan.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to play the role of Chu Xuan in the first part of "Infinite Terror", Li Boda could have simply filmed the "Resident Evil" episode as the first part of "Infinite Terror".

While it might be a bit thin to only film the "Resident Evil" series, expanding the plot could easily make it a full-fledged movie.

However, it's good that now. By combining Resident Evil and Alien into one movie, the story will be more compact, and the overall world view can be better presented, making the movie even more exciting.

……

"Hello Director, I'm Chen Weiting. I've come to report to the crew." A rather handsome young man greeted Li Boda with a very respectful attitude, speaking in Mandarin with a slight Hong Kong accent.

"Yes, you should be familiar with the character Li Shuaixi by now."

"I'm very familiar with the director now. After receiving the script, I repeatedly pondered the character of Li Shuaixi. I even read the novel 'Infinite Terror' many times, and I even read the fan fiction 'Emperor Li Shuaixi'..."

Upon hearing Chen Weiting's words, Li Boda's expression became somewhat subtle.

What is this "Emperor Li Shuaixi"? What is that thing?

"Ahem, everything is based on the script. Don't take the 'Emperor Li Shuaixi' thing seriously," Li Boda had to remind him.

“…Okay, director, I’ve got it. I will always use the script as the standard.” Chen Weiting nodded quickly.

"Alright, now that you're ready for the role of Li Shuaixi, let's start filming."

...After all the actors were ready, filming for the [Alien] movie was about to begin.

However, regarding this Alien movie, well, the female lead, Sigourney Weaver, was already a sixty-year-old woman at this point. Casting her in the film was really, really just not suitable.

In the end, Li Boda simply found an actress who looked similar to Sigourney Weaver to play the role. Anyway, in "Infinite Terror," this character was just a minor supporting role with not much screen time.

So as long as the woman's appearance is similar to that of Sigourney Weaver in [Alien 1], whether it's her clothes or hairstyle, and the differences are not significant, then it's easy to get by.

After the costume, hairstyle, and even facial makeup were done, an actress who looked six or seven parts similar to Sigourney Weaver appeared.

Since this role is just a minor supporting character, this level of performance is more than enough and sufficient.

……

Against a green screen backdrop, Li Boda, Yan Kuan, Huang Xiaoming, Hu Ge, Zhao Liying, and others lay on the ground together.

After saying "Exon," Yan Kuan's eyes flickered slightly, and then he stood up with a clean and nimble movement. Huang Xiaoming, Zhao Liying, Hu Ge, and the others also got up from the ground.

Huang Xiaoming's gaze swept over Li Boda and the others on the ground, his face pale: "This is bad, it's a challenge for fifteen people..."

Yan Kuan and the others were also affected by Huang Xiaoming's tone, and their expressions unconsciously became serious.

Then the group of them began to deliver their lines.

Because they had memorized the script and lines beforehand, and even carefully studied them, their delivery of the lines was quite good, and their emotions were very well conveyed.

Clearly, they valued the opportunity to participate in the movie "Infinite Terror" very much, so they did a lot of preparation work in advance.

While Zhao Liying touched her forehead and recited her lines...

Li Boda's voice rang out: "The story of the alien takes place sometime in the future. In the timeline of the story, humanity has already possessed interstellar long-distance travel technology..." Li Boda's expression was calm. Although he was wearing glasses, his eyes were extremely calm, without the slightest ripple, and without any fear or other emotions. His eyes were calm, even somewhat eerie.

Yan Kuan and the other three exchanged glances. Yan Kuan then extended his right hand to Li Boda: "Zheng Zha, welcome, new member."

Li Boda hesitated for a moment before shaking hands with Yan Kuan and said, "Chu Xuan, if you don't mind, could you tell me where this place is?"

Li Boda and Yan Kuan calmly delivered their lines, especially later on, when it came to Li Boda's part, which included a particularly long explanation of the movie "Alien".

During this long monologue, Li Boda spoke calmly and fluently without the slightest stumble.

After the scene was filmed, the people around him started clapping and giving Li Boda a thumbs up.

This is because, firstly, Li Boda's performance in this scene was indeed excellent; he delivered such a long monologue without any stumbles. Secondly, Li Boda was the director of the film "Infinite Terror."

As a director, especially a capable one with extraordinary abilities, Li Boda was the very foundation and the ultimate authority on the film set.

He was the god of this production crew, God himself was acting in his first scene, and he performed so well that of course everyone else had to give him a good encouragement and try to curry favor with him.

However, their flattery and praise were indeed not wrong.

From then on, whenever Li Boda had a scene, his performance was almost flawless.

Even when there are NG (no good) situations, it's always the other actors' fault.

As long as the other actors don't cause any problems, Li Boda's take is always a perfect one.

His calm face and unperturbed tone suggested that nothing could disturb his emotions; he didn't seem like an ordinary person at all.

In fact, in the novel, Chu Xuan at this time, although he showed some extraordinary qualities, did not go too far.

However, a novel is a novel, and a movie is a movie.

Although both are storytelling, the ways of expression are completely different. Therefore, when a novel is adapted into a screenplay, some details need to be adjusted accordingly.

For example, Li Boda's portrayal of Chu Xuan in "Alien" featured some subtle changes.

Another character is Zhan Lan, played by Zhao Liying. This character has been expanded. Basically, Zhan Lan's affection for Zheng Zha has been removed.

After all, it's somewhat inappropriate for Zhan Lan to have feelings for Luo Li, whom Zheng Zha likes, even though she already knows that he does.

Since the role of Zhan Lan was given to Zhao Liying, who is under his studio, Li Boda gave Zhang Heng corresponding suggestions when Zhang Heng was writing the script.

Zhang Heng had no objection to Li Boda's suggestion.

According to Zhang Heng, he initially intended to write a harem story, which is why he arranged a romantic subplot between Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan. However, as he wrote, he felt that a harem was unnecessary, so he stopped writing it.
