From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

In the evening at the end of September, the sunset in the west dyed the edge of the sky red, and the breeze blew it, which was quite pleasant.

Outside the yard of a villa, juicy and tender pieces of meat were sizzling on the barbecue grill, and a chubby hand was skillfully brushing sauce on it.

"Fat brother!"

Zhao Xiaodi was staring at the sizzling and oily meat, and swallowed with a gurgling sound in his throat.

"Oops! Wait a minute! It's not hot enough yet!"

The little fat man raised his head and looked at the beautiful little girl in front of him with a big smile.

"Hey! I'll just smell it...just smell it. I'm going to shoot a cover shoot next week, and Sister Xiaoyou wants me to control my food intake."

Zhao Xiaodi quickly waved his hand, indicating that he did not dare to eat it.

That little girl was the executive manager assigned by Liang Qiong to the little girl, and her nature was the same as that of today's little fat girl Ding Zhi.

But it seems that compared to the "disparity in status" between Ding Zhi and Xiao Pang, Zhao Xiaodi is still under strict control by his own executive manager.

"Ah! By the way, Sister Qiong asked me to ask you, where is your champagne knife?"

"Champagne knife? No need! Brother Zhi has it."

"ah?"

The little fat girl pursed her lips and signaled to Ding Zhi who was not far away.

Zhao Xiaodi looked curiously at Ding Zhi, who was surrounded by people not far away. He took out a small bladed dagger from somewhere on his body and gently touched the mouth of the champagne bottle.

cut.

The first sound of a gentle "wave~" was heard, and the bottle cork soared into the sky as if given an order.

There was no sluggishness in the entire movement, and the whole process was as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water.

The speed of the blade flashed by like a sudden glance, and it seemed to be faster than the scalpel in the hands of Robert Liston, the Scottish doctor who caused the first case of 300% mortality in history in the 19th century.

Much more.

Then the dagger in Ding Zhi's hand disappeared and then disappeared.

Zhao Xiaodi, who was paying attention to Ding Zhi's movements the whole time, was a little stunned, "Hey! Where did Teacher Ding's knife go? No! Where was his knife hidden in the first place?"

But he saw Xiaopang shaking his head and answering somewhat seriously.

"I have been following Brother Zhi for almost four years, but I still haven't found an answer to this question. But the only thing I know is that when a knife is needed, Brother Zhi can always conjure a knife out of nowhere. I

In fact, I once asked Brother Zhi how he did this."

"ah?"

Zhao Xiaodi's eyes widened slightly. Did he carry a knife with him?

Who would carry a knife with them?

In addition to the sword-wielding guards in front of the emperor, that is...

"What did Teacher Ding say?"

Zhao Xiaodi seemed to be fascinated by it.

Xiaopang shrugged, seeming a little disappointed, "Brother Zhi said that this is a unique skill of the Ding family that is not passed down to others. It has always been passed down from female to male."

Zhao Xiaodi raised his eyebrows and was still thinking, how could the "Ding family's unique skills" be passed down from female to male?

This little fat guy was still talking non-stop.

"Then I often see Brother Zhi use this unique skill to avert danger when he encounters a critical moment."

Xiaopang looked quite proud.

Why does Teacher Ding, as an actor, have "critical moments" when he needs to use a knife?

Zhao Xiaodi’s little head continues to sell short.

"What critical moment?"

Xiaopang is a kind-hearted person, and Pangdudu has a very pleasant appearance. He can be regarded as a good old man in the company.

All in all, this can be regarded as the first "new friend" Zhao Xiaodian met in Jiuyao Media. The relationship is not bad, so she also "supports" her.

"That's a lot!"

The kuaizi in the little fat hand quickly turned the meat on the grill again, revealing the skin that was roasted by the charcoal fire underneath. The skin was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Under the charcoal fire, drops of golden oil were mixed

The sauce accidentally dropped onto the burning charcoal fire below, and it immediately sizzled, stimulating Zhao Xiaodi's taste buds.

Of course, Zhao Xiaodi seemed to be more interested in the little story told by Xiaopang.

Hearing Zhao Xiaodi's question, Xiaopang instantly became interested.

"For example, when we were filming "The Tuner" last time, the crew brought in several large, juicy watermelons with thin skin and thick flesh. As a result, Brother Zhi took the knife and divided it into three and five.

He chopped several watermelons exactly! It’s like measuring them with a ruler!”

"For another example, once when I was pulling a canned fish with black bean sauce, I broke the tab. As a result, Brother Zhi opened the top of the canned fish with a flash of his knife, but it was still at the bottom of the bottle!"

"besides....."

"Hey! Fat brother, Teacher Ding seems to be asking us to pour wine!"

Seeing the train running further and further away from the little fat man's mouth, Zhao Xiaodi, who was so amused that he pursed his lips and chuckled, quickly stopped talking and pointed in the direction of Ding Zhi not far away.

Xiaopang looked over and saw that it was indeed the case. He quickly picked up the barbecue and placed it on the plate, then skewered it with bamboo skewers and ran over with the barbecue in his hands.

...

...

“I wish our Jiuyao Media a prosperous future!

!

cheers!

!”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.

Obviously, today is a team building event for Jiuyao Media, or based on this relaxed atmosphere, it is more like a gathering among Ding Zhi’s friends.

The person who kindly provided this villa as a gathering place was our little fat guy who has been promoted to "Fat Brother".

The villa here is located in the suburbs of Kyoto. The decoration is not very exquisite and luxurious, but the area is quite small, and there is even a swimming pool.

Having this kind of territory in Kyoto fully proves how rich Xiaopang's family is.

In other words, if Ding Zhi, the "boss", really converts the assets on hand into cash at all costs in a short period of time, he may not be able to do as much as Xiaopang.

After all, many of Ding Zhi's "assets" are actually related to film and television copyrights, the company's overall valuation, and even the dividends brought by his own popularity.

So now Xiaopang can be regarded as passively saying in the company, "No more pretending, I'm going to show my cards!", revealing his golden status as a "rich man".

In addition to internal staff from Jiuyao Media, people who came to Ding Zhi's "party" this time also included Zhu Zhu and Fei Hu from "The Tuner" and Tan Zichen from "The Beginning"

, several veteran actors and actresses are also included, including Qing Hailu, who plays the female director.

Because "The Beginning" was filmed and broadcast simultaneously, it required coordinating the schedules and times of many actors. Shortly after the filming, Ding Zhi himself immediately devoted himself to the road show and pre-release preparations for "The Tuner"

Go, time is quite tight.

Therefore, I still "owe" a finalization and celebration banquet for "The Beginning".

It just so happens that "The Tuner" is also a box office hit. As of the end of the month, the box office growth is coming to an end and has basically been fixed at 1.9 billion.

Although this box office performance is not comparable to "Operation Red Sea", which ranked second in the box office record at the beginning of the year, the problem is that the cost disparity between the former and the latter is also incomparable.

Therefore, this drama can be said that after "The Eraser in My Mind" a few years ago, Ding Zhi once again created this kind of almost unnatural box office miracle of "using small things to make big gains".

The only difference is that the party making a lot of money now has changed from Huansong Media to Ding Zhi's Jiuyao Media.

Naturally, the box office distribution of "The Tuner" has not been paid so quickly. To be precise, theaters generally have to wait ten and a half months to settle the payments in stages.

But "The Beginning" is different. Perhaps in order to stabilize Ding Zhi and Jiuyao Media, which is a "cash cow", and get priority in Ding Zhi's next drama, in terms of broadcast volume and copyright sharing, Madou

TV is very convenient.

Konishihachi also officially confirmed the purchase of the broadcast rights of "The Beginning" when we were halfway through the domestic broadcast, and it will be broadcast in the form of dual broadcast on Taiwan and the Internet.

Just these few reimbursements made Jiuyao Media's pockets suddenly bulge, which had been "cutting back on food and clothing" before.

Ding Zhi's "White Wolf" tactic this year can be said to have overfulfilled the task.

So according to Ding Zhi, it was Jiuyao Media who produced "The Beginning" and "The Tuner" this year, both TV series and movies, and everyone's efforts are indispensable.

After toasting to celebrate, Ding Zhi also announced that everyone would receive a thick red envelope!

The same goes for "non-staff members" such as Tan Zichen and Qing Hailu.

This naked behavior of "throwing coins" undoubtedly aroused cheers from everyone present.

Even people like Qing Hailu and Zhu Zhu were smiling.

Artists of their caliber are naturally worthy of such a "red envelope", but after the success of this kind of film, they still do not forget their gesture of "rewarding the armed forces", which is very useful to them.

After all, "how much you do, how much you get paid" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of many social workers. Even some employees at the bottom of the entertainment industry look glamorous and can even come into contact with various celebrities and entertainers. They seem to be very glorious.

.

But in fact, they may work more than cows and eat less than chickens.

To be honest, Ding Zhi's skill, whether it is a gathering with a harmonious atmosphere and "no distinction between upper and lower classes".

There is also a style of "spreading coins" similar to "drinking heavily, eating meat, and dividing gold on a large scale", which is actually extremely rare in the industry.

Zhao Xiaodi was looking at Ding Zhi from the corner, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Because Zhao Xiaodi signed a contract with Ding Zhi's Jiuyao Media, and her rise to fame with "The Beginning" is quite similar to that of Ding Zhi himself in previous years.

So I don’t know whether it was Liang Qiong’s intention or the netizen’s initiative. There were many voices on the Internet that brought the two of them together for discussion, calling Zhao Xiaodi the “female version of Ding Zhi”, or the “big disciple of the Ding family”.

As for why Zou Yutong, who became famous by Ding Zhi's side earlier than her, is not the "big disciple", it is probably because their "mentor-disciple feeling" is far less influential than their scandal.

Although he was packaged as the "female version of Ding Zhi," Zhao Xiaodi felt that he was far away from Ding Zhi, as if there was a world of difference.

As she has been worried about recently, as she became popular, the people around her have gradually become different, some have become utilitarian, and some have become alienated from each other.

Not far away, Ding Zhi, senior artists like Qing Hailu or Wang Jue were able to chat and laugh happily, turn around and give meat to the girl at the front desk, and hug and play guessing games with a certain lighting engineer on the set.

drink wine.

No matter the traditional status in the circle, or the distance or distance, it seems that they don't exist on his side.

It seemed that the problems he was worried about were not worth mentioning in front of him.

She could also truly feel that whether it was the senior celebrities or the staff members whose names she could not even name, they were sincerely communicating with Ding Zhi happily.

This ability makes her feel envious.

On the other hand, at this time, after Zhao Xiaodian became famous overnight, he would worry about whether he would be unable to continue after his sudden fame.

Especially when looking at Tan Zichen, the star of her drama, although he is still very popular and has many acting appointments, even she can easily see that the other person's enthusiasm seems to be just a "floating heat".

Because the dramas he was looking for were actually nothing more than those ancient dolls, sweet pet dramas, and the most luxurious ones were probably the IP dramas with "AI" face-changing.

In fact, she had always been quite confident before, but at this time, she felt a little weak for no reason.

This "emptiness" is the illusion that oneself seems to be "too real" at this time, and it is also the "fear" of various uncertainties in one's future.

To use an analogy, she was climbing up the steps, occasionally looking at the scenery at the foot of the mountain, feeling contented. Suddenly, a cable car pulled her to a high altitude. When she looked down at Zhao Xiaodian, she felt inexplicably "

Dizziness”.

This is actually very common. Some people become so popular overnight that they wish they could float to the sky. They can't even figure out their own position. They feel that God is the boss and I am the second child.

And some people worry about gains and losses and suffer from "acrophobia".

The little girl is obviously the latter.

"What's going on? Why don't you go play with them!"

While Zhao Xiaodi was quietly in a daze again, a voice suddenly rang from his ears.

She raised her eyes and saw that it was Ding Zhi!

Zhao Xiaodi suddenly felt panic in his eyes.

"Ding...Teacher Ding!"

"Hey, how many times have I told you, just call me Brother Zhi. You see, Xiaopang and the others all call me that."

"hey-hey....."

Zhao Xiaodi showed a cute smile and said nothing.

Ding Zhi looked at the energetic little sister in front of him, and he really liked her from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, Zhao Xiaodi's ability to play the role of Li Shiqing in "The Beginning" has something to do with the fact that he fits the role very well.

In other words, even in reality, Zhao Xiaodian has the same temperament as Li Shiqing, gentle, but tough and persistent in his heart.

Who can see a young girl who has acting skills, perseverance, and resilience, and is also pretty, and not fall in love with her.

It is precisely because of this that Ding Zhi took her under his wing and made her the youngest sister in the "older group".

Since he is under his command, he is his "little brother".

If I have the chance to gather thirteen more artists by then, this girl Zhao Xiaodian will be regarded as the "Thirteenth Sister of Hongxing" under Brother Zhi.

That's one of our own people with good roots.

So when he saw Zhao Xiaodian looking a little lonely, he naturally had a thought in his heart and planned to "unravel" his "Thirteenth Sister".

"What are you thinking about? You look unhappy? Don't you like being so noisy?"

"No! In fact, I quite like it."

"It's just... I'm just a little envious of you, Brother Zhi..."

"Envy me? In what way? Is it my handsomeness? Or is it my skill of throwing a knife at a bottle cap?"

"If it's the latter, then there's nothing you can do. Let me tell you, my sword skills are the secret of the Ding family..."

"It's better to pass on a girl instead of a boy! Hahahaha!"

Zhao Xiaodi took it first and immediately grinned.

Ding Zhi seemed to have a kind of magical power, and Zhao Xiaodi somewhat let go of his nervousness and restraint in just a few sentences.

"actually......"

Zhao Xiaodi slowly talked about his troubles.

After hearing this, Ding Zhi raised his eyebrows and sat up straighter slightly.
