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

Chapter 74 Heartbroken
The wire tied to his body began to exert force, and Li Boda jumped lightly, using the force to lift him up. Then, Li Boda flew in the air with a graceful posture, and kicked his feet twice in the air, as if using force, and then Li Boda flipped in the air.

Director Cao Junhua looked at Li Boda who was filming the wire-aerial scene with admiration in his eyes.

"Li Boda's action scenes are so beautiful." The director couldn't help but sigh.

"Indeed, Li Boda's action scenes are really amazing. Not to mention his fighting scenes, when you see him hanging on the wire, he gives people a feeling of being so graceful and unrestrained. I think his fighting scenes are not worse than Jet Li's." The martial arts instructor next to him picked up the director's words.

"No way? Even better than Jet Li?" The director was stunned and looked at the martial arts instructor in astonishment.

Whether it's preconceived notions or his fame, in the minds of directors and even many people, Jet Li's fighting scenes are the best.

It’s not that Jet Li is a good fighter, but mainly because his action scenes are very smooth. From the appearance alone, Jet Li’s fighting scenes are the best looking and most graceful.

The fighting scenes of the others are certainly not bad, but they don’t have the style of Jet Li.

This is also why Jet Li and Jackie Chan broke into Hollywood. Jackie Chan relied on action comedy, which is essentially a comedy style, while Jet Li's action scenes are just simple actions without any other additional attributes.

Therefore, in the minds of almost all domestic directors, the best in action scenes is Jet Li.

Now the martial arts instructor says that Li Boda's action scenes are no worse than Jet Li's, so it's no wonder that director Cao Junhua was surprised.

"Well, I just feel that Li Boda's action scenes are very good." The martial arts instructor paused and spoke in a slightly weaker tone.

After all, when comparing Li Boda with Jet Li, the martial arts instructor felt a little guilty.

"Then Li Boda's action scenes are not bad either. It's really good to let Li Boda play the role of Taozui. Not only does his appearance fit Taozui's character, but his acting skills are also excellent, and his action scenes are so wonderful. No wonder Li Boda is so popular." The director looked back at Li Boda who was moving gracefully in the air, and said with a smile.

"Indeed, it's normal for Li Boda to become famous." The martial arts instructor nodded.

Li Boda was hanging on the wire and flying in the sky for a long time. After a click, he was slowly lowered down.

After being put down, the people from the wire work team came over and started to untie Li Boda from the wire.

"Boda, thank you for your hard work!" The martial arts instructor said to Li Boda with a smile.

"It's okay. I actually quite like wire hanging." Li Boda replied with a smile.

In fact, the wire-hanging scenes were extremely simple for Li Boda.

Even these scenes, even without wire suspension, Li Boda can do it.

Now that he was hanging on the wire, Li Boda just wanted to control the direction, which really didn't require much more energy than walking.

For scenes like this one involving solo flying and hanging on wires, Li Boda could get through it in just one take. Occasionally, he would take it twice more, mainly because he was afraid that he would overdo it and scare others.

On the contrary, in the fighting scenes in the air, where he needs to fight against others, Li Boda himself has no problem, but the opponent may not be able to control the wire tool well.

Therefore, when shooting the aerial fighting scenes, the number of NGs will be relatively high, and Li Boda often needs to repeat the shooting many times.

……

"Boda, regarding the casting for The Return of the Condor Heroes, I've already secured an audition for you. However, I heard there are a lot of actors auditioning for the role of Yang Guo, so you should be mentally prepared."

"Sister Wang, I've been mentally prepared for this. After all, Zhang Da Huzi has filmed three Jin Yong dramas, all of which were huge hits. Almost everyone in the entertainment industry knows that if you can get a role in one of Zhang Da Huzi's Jin Yong dramas, you're guaranteed to be a huge hit. No one in the industry is stupid, so who wouldn't want to play Yang Guo?"

"It's good that you think so. But there's no need to feel too much pressure. After all, you're so outstanding, Boda. Even if others are more famous than you, their acting skills may not be as good as yours, not to mention that your kung fu is so good. Combining all aspects, no one in the younger generation will be stronger than you." Sister Wang seemed very confident in Li Boda.

"Of course, among the younger generation of actors, no one is better than me." Li Boda was quite confident. "But Sister Wang, you also know that being in the entertainment industry requires more than just talent. There are many other aspects, just like when Hu Ge almost played Li Xiaoyao. So, Sister Wang, for the next period of time, you should inquire more about the news from The Return of the Condor Heroes and see if you can find out if there are any behind-the-scenes deals or something like that."

"Well, don't worry, Boda, I will keep an eye on it. It's a pity that our CEO Cai only has eyes for Hu Ge, otherwise she could have used more of the company's resources, which would have increased her chances of getting the role of Yang Guo." Sister Wang said, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Haha, Sister Wang, you think too highly of our Tangren. If it's an ordinary crew, Tangren's efforts can at least have some effect. But for Zhang Da Huzi's crew, we Tangren really have no right to interfere." Li Boda's words were mixed with disdain for Tangren.

In fact, it was not that Li Boda looked down on the Tang people. It was mainly because the Tang people were indeed not powerful enough in the face of Zhang Da Huzi.

In other words, in Zhang Da Huzi's eyes, almost all film and television companies are a little bit lacking. Even if it is Huayi, a well-known company in the current film and television industry, Zhang Da Huzi may not give them face in casting.

After hanging up the phone, Li Boda let out a sigh of relief. Although Sister Wang was very kind to Li Boda and her abilities were decent, she lacked a lot when it came to the next level.

Ability is one aspect, resources are another, and there are also many differences in terms of connections and other relationships.

As for the role of Yang Guo, just as Li Boda said to Sister Wang on the phone, based on his strength alone, Li Boda is quite confident that he can get the role of Yang Guo.

But I am afraid of behind-the-scenes deals.

For this reason, Li Boda called Liu Yifei many times during the filming of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio: The Flower Girl".

On the phone, Li Boda also asked a lot of indirect questions to find out the inside story of the casting of "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

After all, the news of the filming of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" has not been leaked to the public yet, but Liu Yifei seems to have already won the role of Xiaolongnu.

Although Liu Yifei's image is suitable for playing the role of Xiaolongnu, it was a little too early for her to realize the situation.

Of course, it can also be said that it is because Liu Yifei has worked with Zhang Da Huzi before. After all, Liu Yifei has filmed "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and played the leading female role in it, so there is a connection between the two, so he learned the news in advance.

However, when Li Boda called Liu Yifei and asked her indirectly, he found out that Liu Yifei had no contact with Zhang Da Huzi after filming "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

So Li Boda felt that there was something special going on here.

Although it has not been announced yet, the role of Xiaolongnu has been cast by Liu Yifei. So what about Yang Guo? Has the role of Yang Guo also been cast?

This is what Li Boda is worried about.

After all, Li Boda didn't want to rack his brains and spend so much time and energy, but in fact the role of Yang Guo had already been reserved for someone else. Wouldn't he, Li Boda, be like a clown then?

However, Li Boda frequently called Liu Yifei. After Liu Xiaoli found out about this, she almost mistakenly thought that Li Boda had some feelings for Liu Yifei.

In the end, Liu Xiaoli even called Li Boda personally. Although she didn't say it explicitly on the phone, she still wanted to warn Li Boda in both obvious and subtle ways not to have any improper thoughts about Liu Yifei.

Li Boda also knew that his actions would indeed cause misunderstandings.

He simply made things clear with Liu Xiaoli and told her that the reason he called Liu Yifei was mainly to inquire about the situation of "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

The reason for confessing to Liu Xiaoli was, on the one hand, because Liu Yifei herself knew nothing about The Return of the Condor Heroes, and was even confused about whether she had won the role of Little Dragon Girl. Li Boda wanted to know more, so he had to start with Liu Xiaoli.

On the other hand, Li Boda and Liu Xiaoli confessed their feelings because Liu Xiaoli did not stop Liu Yifei from leaking the details of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" to Li Boda.

Since Liu Xiaoli did not stop Liu Yifei from leaking the secret, it means that Liu Xiaoli did not have any major objection to Li Boda playing the role of Yang Guo and acting with her daughter.

Therefore, Liu Xiaoli should not mind giving Li Boda a little information.

After Li Boda and Liu Xiaoli confessed their feelings, Liu Xiaoli did not disappoint Li Boda.

Liu Xiaoli vaguely revealed something, that is, Zhang Da Huzi is quite greedy for money.

There was no specific explanation of the situation, but it did tell Li Boda that Zhang Da Huzi could be moved by money. Mainly because he had money, he might not refuse to trade a character like Yang Guo.

Li Boda suddenly realized why Liu Yifei was able to get the role of Xiaolongnu in advance.

However, when Li Boda opened his mobile phone and looked at the balance of his bank account in the text message, he couldn't help but feel distressed. After so many years in the entertainment industry, this was just a small amount of money he had saved with great difficulty.

Moreover, Li Boda felt that the little money he had might not be enough to impress Zhang Da Huzi.

Of course, Li Boda was reluctant to give the money to Zhang Da Huzi.

For Li Boda, apart from paying taxes, the money that entered his bank account could only be spent. If anyone wanted him to spend large amounts of money from other sources, that would be really painful.

"Damn, this money may not necessarily have to be paid. If it really doesn't work, I'll have to use some special means." Li Boda muttered to himself.
