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

Chapter 236 Father
"Not bad, not bad at all. If you keep this up, the box office will definitely be good." When Han Sanye came to visit the set, he watched some of the footage that Li Boda had shot before and couldn't help but praise him repeatedly.

Li Boda smiled upon hearing this. Although he played the role of Chu Xuan when filming the first part of "Infinite Terror," rather than a famous director, his "golden finger" did not reflect any directorial abilities.

However, Chu Xuan is an exceptionally intelligent person with a very high IQ. Moreover, his high IQ is all-encompassing and almost flawless. He surpasses ordinary people in any field.

Therefore, after Li Boda finished filming the first part of "Infinite Terror", he received feedback from Chu Xuan's intelligence. Using this part of Chu Xuan's ability, he analyzed the abilities of the director, the general, and other characters, and then they complemented and supplemented each other, thus indirectly achieving the effect of upgrading his directing skills.

It can be said that Li Boda's directing ability had improved significantly at this time.

It can be said that Li Boda's second installment of "Infinite Terror" is definitely superior to the first one in terms of quality.

It's perfectly normal that Master Han thought Li Boda's footage was good after watching it.

Besides Han Sanye, many other people have come to visit the set during this period. Various investors have sent people to visit the set. Although Li Boda successfully filmed one movie, "Infinite Terror", they cannot guarantee that this second movie will be just as good. What if Li Boda's "Infinite Terror" is just a flash in the pan?
So those people who came to visit the set were actually hoping that if Li Boda wasn't capable enough to make a good second season, they would request a temporary replacement director to ensure the quality of the second season of "Infinite Terror".

Of course, Li Boda's demonstrated directing ability also made them abandon their guarantee plan and stop thinking about replacing Li Boda as director.

Because of Li Boda's improved directing skills, the crew operated very smoothly under his command, and the filming progressed very quickly.

From the start of filming until now, it has taken about three months. The movie "Infinite Terror" is almost finished filming, with only a few scattered scenes left to be filmed. These scattered scenes can be filmed in a week at most.

At this moment, everyone in the crew relaxed considerably and felt much more at ease.

Especially as Li Boda stopped swearing at people on set less and less, the atmosphere on the entire set became much better and more relaxed.

"Clap clap-"

Li Boda clapped his hands, drawing the attention of everyone in the crew.

"I know the crew only has a few scattered scenes left, which will be finished in a few days, so everyone has relaxed a bit. But while you're relaxing, don't get too complacent. When filming, you still need to be serious. Anyway, there are only a few days left to film, so don't cause any trouble in these last few days, or I definitely won't let you off the hook, understand?" Li Boda said to the crew.

"Understood, Director!"

"Don't worry, director, we definitely won't cause any trouble at this time."

"Director, we will definitely take filming seriously."

After hearing Li Boda's warning, the crew members, who had been somewhat relaxed, tensed up again and got back into serious filming mode.

Clearly, they didn't want to cause any more trouble in these last few days. After all, they had persevered for three months, so what was a few more days?

The entire crew got serious again, and everyone got into work mode.

Because they only had a few days left before filming was finished, these people were actually in high spirits and looked particularly energetic.

"It really is a case of new talents replacing the old! Director Li, your abilities are amazing! I can't deny that I'm getting old now." Xu Ke couldn't help but give Li Boda a thumbs up after seeing how the crew's enthusiasm was mobilized after just a few words from him.

Xu Ke initially visited the set of "Infinite Terror" and even stayed there, all in order to learn more about 3D and special effects techniques.

However, as he spent more and more time on the set of "Infinite Terror," he gradually discovered that Li Boda was truly exceptionally awesome.

Generally speaking, even the most outstanding directors have their strengths and weaknesses.

Some directors are particularly good at shooting indoor scenes and small-scale scenes. They can make small-scale indoor scenes stand out. However, when shooting large-scale scenes, these directors become flustered and end up shooting in a mess.

Some directors excel at large-scale scenes, creating films that are particularly grand and magnificent, but they often fall short in controlling certain details.

Some directors are skilled at using color, and can shoot a film that looks like a beautifully crafted picture, so exquisite that you can watch it frame by frame, but they just can't tell a good story.

Some directors excel at playing family dramas, but their performances immediately fall short when they try to direct period dramas.

Even with Tsui Hark, who has directed many excellent films, whether period dramas or modern films, he is proficient in almost everything.

However, it seems that Xu Ke always lacks energy when filming; he can only focus on one aspect at a time. He concentrates his energy on the storyline, which obviously reduces his attention to other aspects.

If he focuses his energy on special effects, the movie's plot will suffer.

Li Boda, on the other hand, seems to be good at everything. He excels in every aspect, especially in his overall perspective. The larger the production crew, the easier it is for Li Boda to manage it. And when the crew is small, Li Boda can also easily coordinate it. He has been filming with Li Boda for two months now, and he still hasn't found anything that Li Boda is incapable of.

As the second part of "Infinite Terror" was about to be completed, Xu Ke couldn't help but sigh, marveling at Li Boda's strong abilities, lamenting his own old age, and realizing that Li Boda's abilities had surpassed his own.

"Director Xu, you can't say that. As a director, you get more capable as you get older. As long as you can walk, there's no such thing as getting old. Especially since you, Director Xu, have always been pursuing progress and more advanced technology and special effects, you'll have to continue to shine in the next few decades!" Li Boda boasted haphazardly.

In fact, Tsui Hark is now in his early sixties, which is indeed the prime age for making movies. In fact, many directors at this age, as long as they are not particularly conservative, can still make good films.

Of course, if a few more years pass and they get older, their energy will become less abundant, and at that time, the quality of the films they make will decrease.

When Xu Ke heard Li Boda say that, he couldn't help but laugh: "What do you mean by the next few decades? If I can work for another ten years and make movies that are still in line with the times, I'll be very happy."

Perhaps because the second part of "Infinite Terror" was about to wrap up filming, Liu Xiaoli had been looking for Li Boda very frequently in the past few days.

After all, after filming this movie, we might not be able to see each other for a long time.

So Liu Xiaoli was really reluctant to part with it. Since she was reluctant, she decided to take advantage of the fact that the filming hadn't wrapped up yet and eat her fill all at once.

Previously, Liu Xiaoli had tried her best to demonstrate, and Liu Yifei, having been reprimanded by Li Boda, focused most of her energy on filming and improving her acting skills. Therefore, she inevitably neglected Liu Xiaoli's situation and didn't discover Liu Xiaoli's infidelity.

Well, it's not that she didn't notice anything at all; Liu Yifei also sensed that something was off about her mother.

However, Liu Yifei didn't consider the relationship between Li Boda and Liu Xiaoli. After all, in Liu Yifei's view, she and Li Boda were the same age, and her mother was practically Li Boda's mother, which meant there was a generational difference.

However, with only a few days left before filming wrapped, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but frequently visit Li Boda. Unfortunately, because filming was almost over, only scattered scenes remained, and Liu Yifei's scenes also decreased significantly. Consequently, she no longer needed to focus most of her energy on filming and improving her acting skills.

Then she realized that something was wrong with Liu Xiaoli.

Then Liu Yifei couldn't help but want to investigate what exactly was going on with Liu Xiaoli.

Then, Liu Yifei discovered that Liu Xiaoli had secretly gone to Li Boda's room.

"..." Liu Yifei!
……

"Liu Yifei, what are you doing? We were just one step away from the finish line, and you had to mess up at this crucial moment? Do you know how badly you acted just now? Liu Yifei, you..." Li Boda, holding a megaphone, angrily berated Liu Yifei without any politeness.

After hearing Li Boda's cursing, Liu Yifei did not lower her head and shrink back as she had before. Instead, she stuck out her neck and glared at Li Boda angrily, her eyes filled with resentment in addition to anger.

"What? Filming's almost finished, and you're trying to cause trouble? Liu Yifei, let me tell you—"

"Director, director, my daughter Qianqian isn't feeling well. Please forgive her, let me talk to her properly." Liu Xiaoli quickly stepped forward when she saw her daughter like this.

Seeing Liu Xiaoli jump out, Li Boda waved his hand, indicating that Liu Yifei's problem should be left to her to solve.

Liu Xiaoli quickly pulled Liu Yifei aside and couldn't help but question her, "Qianqian, what's wrong with you? We're only two days away from wrapping up filming, why are you suddenly like this?"

"Then what do you want me to do?" Liu Yifei glared at Liu Xiaoli.

"what?"

"Does this mean I have to call Li Boda 'Dad'?" Liu Yifei growled.

"..." Liu Xiaoli was stunned.
