From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

"What's the matter?"

When Ding Zhi hung up the phone, Zou Yutong, who came from a short distance away, looked at him curiously.

Although Ding Zhi's expression looked quite calm, as his girlfriend, Miss Zou could still see something was wrong with him.

"What happened?"

Ding Zhi glanced at her and saw that no one was around. He rubbed Miss Zou's head and was slapped on the hand by her.

"What are you doing! Are you outside?"

"What are you afraid of? There's no one around."

Miss Zou is smart and understands that her boyfriend is changing the subject.

She had been paying attention to Ding Zhi just now, and she obviously saw that the atmosphere when he was talking on the phone was not right.

Zou Yutong and Ding Zhi have been together for so long, but they have never seen him blushing with anyone. Even when facing a villain like Yu Zhen, or the frustrating moments of being cut off, he behaves very lightly.

.

Answering the call at this time, Zou Yutong saw a trace of fear on Ding Zhi's face, which was indeed very rare.

"Okay, what happened?"

Zou Yutong took two steps closer, staring at Ding Zhi with his beautiful eyes, his face full of concern.

"kindness......"

Ding Zhi pondered for a moment, "Yuanyuan, after returning to China, I plan to have a talk with Mr. Yang."

"What are we talking about? Is there any new drama we need..."

Yang Fu, like Ding Zhi, is the top "living brand" of Huansong Media. In fact, in addition to being the founder of the company, most of her focus is on her acting career.

Therefore, even though Ding Zhi is now vaguely interested in overtaking Yang Fu, the specific affairs involving him actually have no procedural intersection with the big boss, and Liang Qiong is basically in charge.

That's why Zou Yutong was a little confused.

But in the next moment, Miss Zou, who was familiar with Ding Zhi, understood what he meant like a roundworm in her stomach, and couldn't help but frowned, "You mean, you plan to leave Huanshang early?"

"There is a possibility that after I finish filming this movie and return to China, I plan to have a showdown with Mr. Yang."

Miss Zou was right. Ding Zhi was indeed dissatisfied for a moment when he received the call.

He may have changed a lot in the past two or three years. Instead, he was Ding Zhi, who had just passed through three years ago. He was full of vigilance and seemed gentle, but in fact he still had a bit of the hyena in his previous life.

But since his rebirth, with the initial help from Liang Qiong, Xiao Pang, and Yang Fu, as well as having experienced so many real and illusory lives in the dream space, the somewhat "alone" feeling in his previous life has been diluted.

He felt a lot, not to mention the appearance of Miss Zou, which made his heart soften a lot.

But no matter how you say it, he still has some lingering marks from his previous life engraved in his bones.

One of them is the deep hatred for "one of our own" who stabs someone in the back.

Before, he didn't pay attention to the small actions of Zhao Jinghua or Liu Zhiyan. On the one hand, it had no impact on him. On the other hand, it was also because those two people, although they were from the same company,

But he has never been regarded as one of his own.

Chen Haonan also has a bitter rival in Hongxing, Liangkun, right?

But Yang Fu is different.

It was her recommendation that led to Ding Zhi's knife in "Eight Hundred".

It was also her acceptance of Ding Zhi, who was just emerging at that time, and even, like Chen Ke, she gave him full trust when Ding Zhi was still worthless, which led to the miracle of "Peeping".

It is not an exaggeration to say that Yang Fu was the "elegant person" who pushed Ding Zhi at critical moments in his life at the end of his life.

It is also true that after "Peeping", even though Huansong basically did not provide any good resources to Ding Zhi, he did not have any objections.

You must know that his first movie relied on his own connections. It was only through Liang Jiahui's recommendation that he got the opportunity. It was also the extraordinary box office hit of "The Hunt" that gave him a series of subsequent opportunities.

Achieve today’s “Ding Zhi Effect”.

And what about the eulogies? Until now, they are basically thinking about letting Ding Zhi guide newcomers.

Zou Yutong became popular overnight with "The Eraser in My Brain", and even the company's senior executives saw the "code of wealth", such as the actress Yan in "The Tuner" this time, but she was actually the least added

It's just a cover-up.

Previously, among the scripts that Liang Qiong received, quite a few were actually from within Huansong, some with new female artists, and some with Liu Zhiyan or Zhu Yilong as "double male protagonists".

In fact, Ding Zhi doesn't care whether he is a newcomer or not. If the actor is suitable and the script is passable, he can take it.

But the problem is that none of the scripts given to him by Huansong were reviewed by him, or considered suitable. They were basically rejected either in the first stage or in the second stage.

Even going too far, asking him to demote his status to an artist from the same company.

You know, now Ding Zhi doesn't have to worry about filming, so this act of eating is undoubtedly a bit ugly, so naturally he was not accepted.

So in this regard, there has always been a lot of criticism within the senior management of Huansong about Ding Zhi, the "first brother" who is not obedient at all but has the ability to be "independent".

But like now, this is the first time that someone has even used the company's internal resources to "fix" Ding Zhi.

Although the direct bad effects have not been seen yet, Liang Qiong caught the clues in advance, but this kind of "stabbing a knife" behavior undoubtedly touched Ding Zhi's bottom line.

Just like before, Ding Zhi mentioned something like "Mr. Yang has lost control of the company" to Liang Qiong, which actually showed his slight dissatisfaction.

But now, not long after, something even more outrageous happened again, which made him bring his dissatisfaction to the surface.

As for Yang Fu, even if her control drops further, she still can't be completely unaware.

This means that she also has her own considerations, and this is the biggest reason for Ding Zhi's dissatisfaction.

This is also the reason why he wants to have a showdown with the other party after returning.

At the same time, we must prepare for the worst.

...

Ding Zhi saw that Miss Zou seemed to be hesitant to speak, so he took the initiative to ask, "So you..."

"I'll go with you!"

Zou Yutong answered quickly.

"No, I mean..."

"I will pay the liquidated damages myself!"

Miss Zou continued to answer.

Seeing his girlfriend's "impatient" behavior, Ding Zhi finally laughed.

"What are you so anxious about? You're afraid that I won't take you with me."

"That's for sure!"

Zou Yutong seemed to have thought of something, a blush suddenly appeared on her face. Seeing no one around, she suddenly took a step closer and lowered her voice.

"I am a poor female artist who has been abused by you. Don't think about running away, Boss Ding~"

Ding Zhi also remembered it. It was a joke they talked about on the phone not long ago.

"Don't worry, I won't necessarily terminate the contract immediately after returning to China. It's just a worst-case scenario. However, what I want to say is that when you go back, you should find a trustworthy lawyer and take a look at your contract again."

"You mean?"

Ding Zhi nodded, "Be prepared."

Since he had the worst-case scenario of being on the opposite side of Huansong, Ding Zhi would naturally put him in the position of an imaginary enemy and go through all the details.

He not only reminded Zou Yutong, but he would also find a lawyer to sort out the contract before the showdown to prevent those who praised it from getting in the way.

There are many examples of people breaking up with their former companies due to contract issues. Ding Zhi will not let himself and the people around him fall into such a vortex.

After Ding Zhi and Liang Qiong finished talking on the phone and exchanged this information with Zou Yutong, the fifteen minutes of rest had almost passed.

So after cleaning up, Ding Zhi and Zou Yutong reappeared on the set.

Ding Zhi also threw away those distracting thoughts and quickly switched back to his "tyrant on set" form.

Although the news brought by Liang Qiong may slightly disrupt Ding Zhi's future plans, there is no doubt that Ding Zhi has been supporting his gradually rising status in the past two years from the moment he became popular to now.

, in fact, it is the reputation and influence of the work.

Being able to play "The Tuner" well now is also a card that will have an impact on him in the future, whether his relationship with Huansong Media changes or he is forced to become independent in advance.

To put it bluntly, his path is different from any other top players.

Although he also has popularity and popularity that many celebrities and artists do not have, he is worthy of being one of the top stars in the country today.

But his core competitiveness has never been based on the huge fan base like those who take the idol route.

Although most of his popularity started from the popularity brought by "Peeping", it seems to be the same as XX in "XX Order".

But the "communication" channel between him and his fans was basically "blocked" by Ding Zhi intentionally or unintentionally.

It truly achieves a somewhat retro style of "letting the work speak for itself", with the work and the actors themselves clearly separated.

He doesn’t do many variety shows, doesn’t hold meet-and-greets, doesn’t go on stage, takes the initiative to disband the so-called “official support group”, publicly challenges the so-called “rice circle culture”, and “washes fans” on a large scale. Fans even use the term “lack of food” as a

One characteristic is out of the circle.

It stands to reason that with such an abnormal operation, the normal traffic would have already gone cold.

Or to put it another way, "Only when the tide goes out do you discover who is not wearing pants."

Therefore, he seems to be "one of the top stars in one drama", but he has never had the kind of popularity that can't touch the ground and the kind of "prosperity that can't get out of a small circle".

He started with "Peeping", followed by "The Hidden Corner", "Cold War 2", his god-like acting in "Pursuit", and his "Boxing King" image in "Greed Wolf" which was in extreme contrast with his previous performance.

They are all manifestations of his most solid core competitiveness - acting skills.

Moreover, they are irreplaceable qualities and acting skills of the same generation.

In this "star-making era" where we focus on operations, packaging, and even marketing at all times.

Ding Zhi followed a traditional path that was originally destined not to be "popular", but instead he has become famous now.

This is due to luck and strength.

Not to mention his monster-like cake-making ability and bug-like communication skills, which make him almost "immune" to all possible "bans".

This allows Ding Zhi to move much more steadfastly than any top leader, and this is also the confidence that gives him the confidence to be ready to sing "Bend his head" with joy.

The staff on the set of "The Tuner" also discovered that in the following days, Ding Zhi not only did not relax a little, but also lowered his requirements for the filming work and was even much stricter than before.

The staff were complaining endlessly, but on the other hand they were not relaxing at all.

Because Ding Zhi strictly demands them with a standard of 100%, then he must demand his own performance with a standard of 150%, or even 200%.

Like now...

"Stop! That didn't work just now, let's try another one!"

A clip they had just shot was playing on the monitor.

It was the scene in the film where Wu Xiaozu was chased by the bearded adulterer Park, who was also the local police chief in Thailand.

At this time, Wu Xiaozu was truly blind, and he encountered such a sudden and dangerous incident, and was forced to rush randomly on the busy streets of Thailand at night.

In order to show the character's panic and "desperation", they used a handheld camera to shoot in one shot.

It's the same test for actors and photographers. Here, director Cai Wen personally grabbed the machine and followed the filming.

After all, as an assistant director (Damage), Cai Wen had worked as a photographer under many great directors before, but now he is just "returning to his old career."

In this scene, there are many scenes where Wu Xiaozu fell down and hit a wall or a wire pole head-on, running "blindly" on a busy road.

This is not only a test of Ding Zhi's acting skills, but it is also as difficult as the fall of the knife before his death in "Eight Hundred".

That is to overcome the human body's natural self-protection response and truly capture the "headless" feeling of a truly blind man.

Therefore, this is also quite difficult for Ding Zhi.

Precisely because he has good skills and quick reactions, his subconscious protective actions are actually faster and more sensitive than ordinary people, which actually caused obstacles in this drama.

After NGing several times, Ding Zhi's elbow was accidentally scratched by gravel on the ground when he fell down, and it was already bleeding slightly.

Ding Zhi patted the little fat man next door who was about to apply iodine solution to the wound on his arm, "Wait a minute and come back after taking the photo."

"But Brother Zhi, you're bleeding!"

"It's okay. I'll just make up for it later because I was injured by Parker when I was fighting with him."

Director Cai Wen, who was already out of breath after running around a few times, twitched the corner of his mouth.

What the hell...

When other people say this, are they afraid that the camera will look at them?

Xiaopang immediately looked at Miss Zou, who was also not far away. She pouted her mouth unconsciously, but did not come forward to say a word.

It's not to avoid suspicion, but he obviously knows that no one can persuade Ding Zhi in this "workaholic" state.

"Awen, can you still run?"

Who knows what happened to this man's physique? After running so many times, even Shi Yanneng, who was "chasing" Ding Zhi next to him, was sweating on the tip of his nose. Ding Zhi acted like a blind man and stumbled along the way.

Hong was out of breath, simply.

"Huh~ha~ I can... I can..."

Panting heavily, Cai Wen closed his eyes and gritted his teeth in response.

There is no way, if you follow this lunatic Ding Zhi for a long time, sometimes you will be infected and become a "madman".

At this moment, Cai Wen, who had fully adopted the attitude of "learning", finally understood how Ding Zhi, an alternative top class, gained such a reputation.

While he has amazing luck, he can still have this kind of spirit after becoming famous. If he fails, God cannot explain it.

You know, the last one with this "style" that was most famous was the big-nosed dragon.

Cai Wen doesn't know whether Ding Zhi can finally reach the realm of the big-nosed dragon, but there is no doubt that he is already convinced at this time.
