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

Chapter 256 Couple
"Hey you guys, behave yourselves! Don't go too far when we're filming later, her husband is right here!" Li Boda yelled at the crew.

Lee Bo-da speaks Korean, and very fluently, almost indistinguishable from a native Korean.

In fact, almost every language spoken in almost every country and region on Earth is familiar to Li Boda.

It can only be said that Chu Xuan is an eternal god. After starring in the movie "Chu Xuan", language on Earth is no longer a barrier for Li Boda.

Hwang Jung-min, Lee Jung-jae, and the others couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing Lee Baek-da's words.

Son Ye-jin wore a faint smile, showing little reaction to the situation. Korean films, or rather, the Korean entertainment industry, are notoriously chaotic. As someone in the entertainment industry, she'd seen it all, let alone something as trivial as simply performing a pole dance.

However, Son Ye-jin's husband, Hyun Bin, looked slightly red at this moment, as if he was a little unwilling.

Regardless of Hyun Bin's thoughts, the drama still needs to be filmed. Since Son Ye-jin is starring in this drama, she still needs to perform the pole dance.

Under Li Boda's arrangement, all the performers were in place in a bustling nightclub. Among them were some women who were pole dancers, and they were actually pole dancers at this nightclub.

After the venue and personnel were all set up, Son Ye-jin, dressed in a very sexy outfit, appeared.

Many people present were immediately struck by Son Ye-jin's outfit.

"Exon!"

Once everything was ready, Li Boda gave the order, and the colored lights began to flash, while energetic dance music bombarded our ears.

Huang Zhengmin and Wang Chuanjun walked in from outside.

The camera panned around the two, capturing the diverse crowd around them and the figures of women performing pole dancing. Finally, amidst the crowd, the camera focused on Son Ye-jin, who was performing a sizzling pole dance.

Meanwhile, the onlookers screamed, cheered, and some even whistled.

The dim lighting only accentuated Son Ye-jin's charm.

The camera was pointed at Son Ye-jin and filmed for almost a minute.

"Card!"

The lights and sound were turned off, and Li Boda's voice reached everyone's ears.

"That scene is over! Son Ye-jin, go change your clothes and get ready for the next scene."

Although Son Ye-jin's pole dancing performance ended, leaving the male members of the crew feeling somewhat reluctant to see it go, their eyes soon filled with anticipation again, and their expectant gazes fell directly on Son Ye-jin's husband, Hyun Bin.

Hyun Bin felt even more awkward being stared at by so many intense gazes.

Hyun Bin regretted coming to visit his wife on set today, because when he came, his wife Son Ye-jin insisted that he play a cameo role. If it were just a regular cameo, it would be fine, but the role he wanted to play was just too, too... well, you know.

Perhaps because Son Ye-jin was also looking forward to the next scene, she changed clothes and removed her makeup much faster than before, and quickly ran out of the dressing room.

At this moment, Son Ye-jin changed her sexy pole dancing image from before. Instead, she wore very conservative clothing, almost as if she wanted to cover herself up completely. Her originally glamorous and sexy makeup became very plain, almost as if she wasn't wearing any makeup at all. No, she was wearing makeup, but this time she was going for a very simple look, as simple as possible.

Hyun Bin looked at Son Ye-jin's expectant eyes, his eye twitched a couple of times, and then he could only resign himself to his fate.

"Exon!"

The energetic music started up again, and the flashing lights came on once more.

Hwang Jung-min, Son Ye-jin, and others sat at the table, laughing and drinking.

At that moment, Hyun Bin, dressed in a suit, walked over and patted Son Ye-jin on the shoulder: "Jin-jin, stop drinking, it's your turn to dance."

Son Ye-jin's smile froze, then vanished.

Huang Zhengmin's smiling face instantly darkened, and he frowned: "What kind of dance is this? We're just sitting here drinking!"

"What are you doing, Jinjin? I'm talking to you. Let's dance!" Hyun Bin said, pulling Son Ye-jin's hand and trying to drag her to dance.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Hwang Jung-min leaned to the side, his shouts growing louder with each movement. As Hyun Bin stared at him in astonishment, Hwang Jung-min snapped, "Let go of my hand!"

"Don't you know you're a guest today?" Hwang Jung-min said to Son Ye-jin.

Hyun Bin smiled ingratiatingly: "Hyung, how about this? Let her go dance first, and then she can come back and have drinks with you, okay? You tell me, if she doesn't dance, who will?"

"Go ahead and jump!" As soon as Huang Zhengmin said this, Wang Chuanjun and the others next to him couldn't help but laugh.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Who's kidding you?"

Just as Hwang Jung-min and Hyun Bin were talking, Wang Baoqiang, with his blond hair, grabbed a bottle and his eyes revealed a hint of ferocity.

"Who's joking with you? I'm here to see you dance today!"

“What’s the big deal about me dancing! The customers pay to see her dance.”

"Short of money, huh?" Huang Zhengmin said, taking out a wad of banknotes from his bag and slamming them on the table.

"Dance or not?"

Hyun Bin stared blankly at the money slammed on the table, then couldn't help glancing at Hwang Jung-min.

"Jump or not!" Huang Zhengmin said, slamming another handful of money onto the table.

Then, under Hyun Bin's gaze, he slammed handfuls of banknotes onto the table.

Hyun Bin's apologetic smile vanished, and he stared at Hwang Jung-min, finally uttering a harsh threat: "You just wait!"

Then, Hyun Bin went up on stage, grabbed the steel pipe, and began to perform a pole dance with a seductive posture.

"Pfft—" Before anyone else could react, Son Ye-jin couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Cut! Son Ye-jin, don't laugh!"

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, Director, I couldn't help it!" Son Ye-jin apologized quickly, but she couldn't stop smiling.

Hyun Bin looked speechless.

"Exon!"

The music and lights came back on, and Hyun Bin started pole dancing again.

"Pfft—" It's Son Ye-jin again.

Everyone else was fine, but Son Ye-jin, for some reason, kept laughing several times, leaving her husband Hyun Bin speechless and helpless.

Hyun Bin originally didn't really want to film this kind of movie, but Son Ye-jin insisted that he make a cameo appearance in it. He gritted his teeth and agreed, but it was Son Ye-jin who kept making him laugh during filming, forcing him to perform the pole dance scene again and again.

Hyun Bin even suspected that Son Ye-jin might have done it on purpose.

After Hyun Bin finally finished filming his cameo scenes, he couldn't wait to leave the set, and even left in a slightly disheveled state.

After Hyun Bin left the set in a disheveled state, everyone on the set couldn't help but burst into laughter. Hyun Bin's guess was absolutely right; Son Ye-jin really did it on purpose, deliberately making Hyun Bin perform the pole dance many more times.

On the day Hyun Bin left the film crew, Son Ye-jin appeared in Lee Baek-dae's bedroom wearing the costume she wore during the day's pole dancing scene.

“This isn’t quite right, your husband just came by during the day—” Li Boda said, feigning modesty.

"What? You don't like it? I thought you'd prefer something a bit more exciting?" Son Ye-jin looked at Lee Baek-da with a smile.

"I don't dislike it."

Son Ye-jin rolled her eyes; she knew Lee Bo-da was just faking it. Then, Son Ye-jin resumed her pole dancing, but this time, Lee Bo-da was the one on the pole. To be honest, Lee Bo-da felt a little uneasy about this kind of thing, even though it was undeniably exciting.

However, this kind of thing is all too common in South Korea.

The entertainment industry is notoriously chaotic, and while it's already quite chaotic in China, it's worlds apart from the entertainment industry in South Korea.

Therefore, Son Ye-jin herself has absolutely no objection to this.

Even Son Ye-jin's husband, Hyun Bin, had actually anticipated this, because that's just how it is in the entertainment industry.

……

"He's only 20 years old! He's only 20 years old! He just wants to live, what did he do wrong? Tell me what he did wrong!!!" Hwang Jung-min grabbed Lee Jung-jae by the collar, slammed him against the wall, and roared at Lee Jung-jae with a face full of anger and indignation.

At this moment, Hwang Jung-min's eyes were bloodshot, and tears were streaming down his face as he roared.

Faced with the furious Hwang Jung-min, Lee Jung-jae avoided eye contact, unable to meet Hwang Jung-min's gaze directly.

"Cut! Good, Jungmin, your performance was good, Jungjae, your emotions were also on point, let's do another take."

The filming of "Dying to Survive" went very smoothly, and the filming speed was also very fast. In just two months, the entire film was almost completed.

All I can say is that with a capable director and a group of excellent and dedicated actors, a film can be made very quickly.

In fact, almost all the actors in the entire crew not only had excellent acting skills, but also had a wealth of experience.

During filming, the actors would occasionally put on a dramatic performance, giving Li Boda an even bigger surprise.

However, during the filming of "Dying to Survive", "Infinite Terror 5" also started filming.

Li Boda, as one of the key characters in "Infinite Terror 5", was also invited.

Therefore, Li Boda had to temporarily leave the film crew and go to Hollywood to attend the film premiere.

After all, he was one of the major investors in "Infinite Terror 5" and also an important character in the show, so he had to appear when it was his turn.

As for the "Dying to Survive" crew, they can continue filming by handing the filming duties over to the assistant director.

After some consideration, Li Boda decided to give the film crew two days off while he was in Hollywood.

After all, the filming time for the crew had already been taken care of. For Wang Chuanjun and Wang Baoqiang, they had been filming continuously since arriving in South Korea without any rest time. It was a good opportunity to have two days off and let them wander around South Korea at their leisure.

Well, of course, mainly because of the film "Dying to Survive". Li Boda was aiming for awards, so he had high requirements for the filming of this movie. Li Boda was worried that if other people were to handle the filming, it would result in an inconsistent filming style.

Even if there's no holiday, after two days of filming, Li Boda would still have to thoroughly check the scenes from beginning to end when he returns, which would also waste time. It would be better to just give the crew a holiday so they can relax and start filming again when Li Boda returns, allowing everyone to be in a better state.

As for the press conference for the start of filming of "Infinite Terror 5", the scene was naturally very grand. After all, the "Infinite Terror" series is one of the most profitable IPs in the world, and even one of the top IPs.

In fact, many Hollywood stars wanted to be involved in this movie.

After all, Chinese stars like Zhao Liying and Yan Kuan saw their salaries rise to 20 million US dollars because of the "Infinite Terror" series, which is considered top-tier star pay in Hollywood.

If the lead actor in the "Infinite Terror" series is not Chinese but a Hollywood actor, then while "Infinite Terror" is an ensemble piece, and he might not receive the $50 million salary that Robert Downey Jr. received for the "Iron Man" series, he could still easily earn $30 to $40 million.

Unfortunately, the main characters for the Infinite Terror series were already decided and could not be changed, which inevitably led to disappointment. However, even so, many Hollywood stars still pay close attention to the Infinite Terror series.

After Li Boda arrived in Hollywood, a large number of Hollywood stars tried to get his contact information.

Although Liberty Boda is not currently the director of the "Infinite Terror" series, his previous film, "The Holy Grail War," grossed a whopping $1.2 billion.

If Li Boda makes any more movies, they can contact him, right?

Don't say that it's only in China that people talk about personal relationships. In fact, personal relationships are important everywhere. It's just a matter of whether the benefits of these personal relationships outweigh other benefits. If the benefits aren't that great, you'll see if they follow the principles of personal relationships when building relationships.

So, on the day Li Boda arrived in Hollywood, he received many notes secretly handed to him by Hollywood actresses. Even that night, a certain actress would often knock on the door of Li Boda's bedroom from the outside.

Of course, Li Boda wouldn't refuse such easy money, after all, he had a good appetite!
As for Gal Gadot and Anne Hathaway, it's just that Liberty didn't stay in Hollywood for long enough, otherwise he could have eaten even more.

After spending a day in Hollywood, Li Boda flew back to South Korea the next day. He didn't need to adjust to the time difference and went straight back to the "Dying to Survive" film crew to start filming.

The two-day break did not disrupt the actors' condition. In fact, because of the two days of rest, they were more relaxed when filming and were able to get into character more easily, making the filming process smoother.

Li Boda was naturally quite pleased with this.

At this time, Lu Yong, the real-life inspiration for the male protagonist of "Dying to Survive," also came to South Korea. He was specially invited by Li Boda to visit the set.

Lu Yong was not sent to prison for selling counterfeit drugs. With the help of a top lawyer found by Li Boda, Lu Yong was released without charge a long time ago.

After being acquitted, Lu Yong rested for a while and only recently recovered.

After all, Lu Yong had been detained in the detention center for a long time before, and after being released without charge, he naturally needed to rest to recover.

Lu Yong was warmly welcomed by the crew after he joined the production team.

On the one hand, Lu Yong was invited by director Li Boda, and everyone in the crew had to treat him warmly, even if they didn't respect him. Not to mention, Lu Yong was the prototype of Cheng Yongjun, the male protagonist in the movie "Dying to Survive". Even if it was just on the surface, they had to show their admiration for Lu Yong.

After reading Li Boda's script for "Dying to Survive," Lu Yong understood what kind of story it was. He didn't say anything, even though the story was very different from his own experience. He understood that making movies was like that; you couldn't film them exactly according to your own experiences. It was normal for the script and reality to have some differences.

Moreover, he felt that Li Boda's script was already very well written. Although the character Cheng Yongjun was so pathetic and failed at the beginning, and even abandoned those patients in the middle because of cowardice, he eventually repented and the character was sublimated, becoming a true god of medicine.

Of course, the main reason why Lu Yong had no objections to the script or the character Cheng Yongjun was because Li Boda had specially hired a top lawyer to defend him and get him acquitted. This was a favor from Li Boda, and he had to remember it.

Lu Yong came to South Korea to visit the set, and after staying for two days, he was going back.

When they returned, Li Boda couldn't help but ask Lu Yong, "Lu Yong, what are you planning to do next?"

"Huh?" Lu Yong looked at Li Boda with a bit of confusion.

"That generic drug—"

"Although I was acquitted this time, I can't touch generic drugs anymore. If I do, I'll definitely be in jail this time." Lu Yong sighed, his tone becoming heavy.

"..." Li Boda nodded, knowing that Lu Yong was right.

"Sigh, it's a pity that many people still can't afford the medicine. It costs tens of thousands of yuan a bottle, who can afford it?" Lu Yong sighed, his voice low and his mood somber.

“Actually, if they were to buy the medicine themselves, they could bring it back even if they only bought a small amount,” Li Boda said.

"Huh?" Lu Yong was taken aback.

“I think if you’re willing to help them, you could start a travel company that specializes in providing travel guides for people from India. Although traveling abroad costs money, the airfare and medicine costs could be significantly reduced,” Li Boda suggested.

Lu Yong's eyes lit up; he realized that Li Boda's idea seemed really good.

Simply providing leukemia patients with travel opportunities, including round-trip airfare, is still cheaper than the 40,000 yuan per bottle of medication. Even a trip to India to buy just one or two bottles of medication, costing a few thousand yuan per bottle, is far more cost-effective than the 40,000 yuan per bottle medication. Moreover, bringing one or two bottles of medication from abroad can easily pass through security checks; it's completely legal.

"Thank you, thank you so much." Lu Yong grabbed Li Boda's hand excitedly, full of gratitude.

"No need to thank me. Besides, you're doing this entirely to help others, aren't you? How about this, I'll invest in your travel company," Li Boda said with a smile.

Lu Yong was stunned again. Li Boda wanted to invest in his tourism company, which hadn't even been established yet?

"I can't say I'm a good person, but I want to do something good. Just give me a chance." Li Boda smiled as he looked at Lu Yong.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yong nodded vigorously. Indeed, Li Boda wanted to do good deeds, and he shouldn't object. Moreover, with Li Boda involved, the travel company would be easier and safer to run than if he were alone.
