This actor needs more money

Qin Gang wanted to say that Ding Xiu was stupid when filming a scene with a big beard, but he didn't dare to say it.

In the industry, Zhang Jizhong's salary for new actors is notoriously low, and Xiao Ao is nothing more than that. Ding Xiu was already well-known before taking on the role of Tian Long Ba Bu, and his salary was only 200,000.

If it were replaced by another crew, it would definitely be more than this price.

Not to mention the release of the hero played by Ding Xiu, the release of The Lost Martial Arts, the release of A Chinese Ghost Story, and the release of The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer.

After three dramas in a row, plus the title of "Four Xiaosheng", Ding Xiu's net worth has already risen.

Externally, Qin Gang's offer to Ding Xiu was a 40-episode TV series with a salary of 400,000 yuan, an average of 10,000 yuan per episode.

"If this drama was not an ensemble cast, the salary of 300,000 yuan would indeed be a bit low, so I would have to add tens of thousands more."

Hearing that tens of thousands more could be added, Ding Xiu felt like his heart was bleeding. His situation was still too small.

"Can we talk more?"

"We can't negotiate. At this price, we won't give in. The total investment for this drama is 30 million, there are many actors, and there will be special effects in the post-production, so funds are very tight."

Thirty million, it’s a big production. Ding Xiu’s eyes lit up: “Okay, thirty is thirty, take it.”

Qin Gang sat back on his boss's chair and picked up the landline phone: "Since you agreed, I will get back to them right away."

"Wait, don't you need to audition?"

Ding Xiu is a little sensitive about auditions, and is afraid of meeting competitors like Zhao Wenzhuo and Donnie Yen again.

He has too much iron in his head and is tired of being beaten. He is afraid that one day he cannot help but beat people to pieces.

"Brother Xiu, be confident. You are already a celebrity. Lin Pingzhi, Song Qingshu, Qiye Shengjun, Changkong. In the area of ​​ancient costumes, you will not lose to any of your peers."

"Reply the phone, go back and try on the clothes and go through the process, and you'll be able to sign the contract if you're close to it."

Businessmen value profits, and Wang Jin is a famous film businessman. He is the screenwriter and producer of this drama.

Tian Xia No. 1 focuses on the young market. The male actors must be handsome and the female actors must be beautiful.

In China, when it comes to ancient costumes, martial arts, being able to fight, and being handsome, the name Ding Xiu is a bit unavoidable now.

Before hiring him, the show crew must have done some research on how popular he is, how he looks in costume, whether he is suitable for the role, etc.

So this signing, if nothing unexpected happens, will go smoothly.

Ding Xiu nodded in understanding, and then added: "Ask if you can bring Bao Qiang with you this time. This guy's kung fu is pretty good, and his martial arts is pretty good."

After being stunned for two seconds, Qin just said, "Okay, I'll try."

"Then I'll leave first. If you need anything, call me."

Ding Xiu was not sloppy in what he said and did, and left immediately after speaking. Qin Gang stared at his back for a few seconds, then lowered his eyebrows and sighed.

He didn't make any calls, he leaned on the desk and rubbed his brows.

It's a bit difficult to maintain his strength. It's not like he hasn't been praised, but he can't be praised. He used to be a special guest, but now he's getting better and better, and he does group performances every day.

From time to time, I work as a martial arts stand-in to earn some hard-earned money.

As for the movie he starred in, there has been no news at all for such a long time. It has been silent and there is a high probability that it is gone.

If it weren't for the sake of Ding Xiu's face, Bao Qiang would have been fired long ago.

But when Ding Xiu opened his mouth, it was hard for him to refuse. Of course it was no problem to get an ordinary character. The problem was that if he got it this time, what would he do next time?

If you can't hold it up, you can't hold it up.

…

Fitting, signing the contract, getting the complete script, and the production company making the first payment, everything happened so naturally.

During this period, Qin Gang found another assistant for Ding Xiu. The male assistant was said to be strong, strong and had good driving skills and could be used as he pleased.

Without being polite, Ding Xiu accepted it.

I'm just a bag carrier and a part-time driver, so I'll make do with it.

After the National Day, Ding Xiu took Bao Qiang to the Water Margin Film and Television Base.

As soon as he arrived at the local star-rated hotel, Baoqiang looked up and looked around like a country bumpkin who had just entered the city. Everything he saw was new.

"Brother, do you usually live in a place like this when filming?"

"It depends on the needs of the crew. Sometimes we live in the mountains and set up tents on the spot."

At the front desk, Ding Xiu took out his ID card and received the room card. His room was different from Wang Baoqiang's.

His is a deluxe room and Baoqiang is an ordinary standard room.

In the world's number one crew, the role Wang Baoqiang got was a small supporting role, with not many roles and no high salary.

Ding Xiu paid for this standard room himself and asked his assistant to book it. He was not given a deluxe room because he was afraid of overthinking it.

Actors like them usually stay in hotels near film and television bases.

Two days later, during the meeting, Ding Xiu met the other actors in the crew.

"Brother Peng, long time no see."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

In the small conference room, Ding Xiu met Li Yapeng again. The last time the two collaborated was at the end of 2000, and it was almost two years ago.

After two years of not seeing each other, Li Yapeng's appearance has not changed much, he still looks the same.

It's just that Ding Xiu is no longer the Ding Xiu he was before.

Facing this one of the Four Young Men who is as famous as himself, Li Yapeng did not dare to ignore it, and he did a good job in the scene.

"Hello, I'm Chen Farong, I play Su Xin."

"Hello sister, my little brother Ding Xiu plays the role of Gui Hai Yida."

The second person to say hello was a beautiful woman. Ding Xiu had watched a lot of Hong Kong movies and knew that Chen Farong made his debut relatively early, at least ten years ago.

She looks young on the outside, but she is actually quite young. Judging from her previous plays, Ding Xiu is at least fourteen or fifteen years old.

"You are Gui Hai Yi Dao, you are quite handsome." Behind Chen Farong, a girl in her twenties came out.

Stretching out her white palm, the girl smiled and said: "Ye Xuan, your wife is in the play."

Caught off guard, Ding Xiu was almost blinded by this introduction. The person who could be his wife in the play was Shangguan Haitang.

But the two only had a one-day romance.

Because Shangguan Haitang died just after we got together.

"Hello." Unmoved by the beauty, Ding Xiu gently shook hands and let go.

Then he walked towards another beautiful woman who didn't say much after entering the door a few meters away.

"If I had known you were in this group, I would have come earlier."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled sweetly and said, "I just arrived last night."

"What role did you play?"

"Liu Shengpiaoxu, what about you?"

"Gui Hai's sword."

"Then you have a lot of drama."

The two haven't seen each other for a long time. This reunion is not as good as a reunion, but it's almost the same.

Once he opened his mouth, he couldn't stop, and more than ten minutes passed without closing his mouth. The two were flirting, and laughter came from Gao Yuanyuan's mouth from time to time.

All the way to the entire conference room, everyone's eyes were focused on them.

"Ahem." Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, Gao Yuanyuan's face turned red. She gently smoothed her hair behind her ears with her fingers in embarrassment, gave Ding Xiu a hard look, and then found a seat to sit down.

"Brother, can you change it?"

Guo Jingan was sitting peacefully when a beautiful woman suddenly came next to her. Before he could introduce her, someone tapped her on the shoulder. He turned his head and faced Ding Xiu's handsome face.

There were a lot of empty seats at the venue, and it didn’t matter who was sitting or where, they were all sitting randomly.

He didn't really want to.

However, considering the information he had checked before, saying that Ding Xiu was very good at fighting and had a record of KOing a Sanda boxing champion with one move, he decided to give him some face.

"Of course." Guo Jingan moved his butt to the side, making a space between Guo Jingan and Gao Yuanyuan.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome." Speaking in Cantonese, Guo Jingan said: "My name is Guo Jingan, and I play the role of Right and Wrong."

"Gui Hai Yi Dao, I'm glad to meet you."

After saying this, Ding Xiu turned around and continued chatting with Gao Yuanyuan.

Guo Jingan wanted to say something else, but Ding Xiu turned the back of his head towards him, and he couldn't say anything.

Not long after, the producer, director, and a group of staff came in, and Ding Xiu stopped talking to Gao Yuanyuan.

Among the staff, he saw an acquaintance, Cheng Xiaodong. Not surprisingly, he was the martial arts instructor of this drama.

"Welcome to the world's number one crew. Everyone should know me, so I won't introduce myself. Haha, just kidding. My younger brother, Wang Jin, is the producer of this show..."

While Wang Jin was talking, Ding Xiu kept looking at him.

Directors belong to people behind the scenes and are rarely seen by the audience. For most ordinary people, after watching a movie, who cares about the name of the director.

But Fatty Wang is an exception.

This guy is very famous.

In his 20 years of debut, he has directed more than 100 films. In terms of output, no one in the country can match him.

You would think that if he makes more films, he will have more bad films. No, he also has many good films.

Thousand Kings Fight Thousand Tyrants, Hardcover Chasing Girl, Tricky Expert, Best Friend, Supreme Being, God of Gamblers, Gambler, The Deer and the Cauldron, Once Upon a Time, The Demon Cult Leader, The Nine-Rank Sesame Official, The New Shaolin Patriarch, etc. .

In addition to the films he directed, he also served as a producer and screenwriter for many classic films, such as Jade Girl Heart Sutra, Ten Tortures, and Red Fruit Lamb.

It is no exaggeration to say that Fatty Wang alone holds up half of the sky in the Hong Kong film industry.

In addition to being a director, Fatty Wang is also an actor and has appeared in many movies.

Of course, what makes Ding Xiu envious the most is this guy's romantic love history.

The reason why Ding Xiu was envious was that Fatty Wang didn't have to force himself, and a lot of women came to his door voluntarily for resources.

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

"We come from all over the Taiwan Strait, three places, and all over the world. It's not easy to come all the way. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

"If you have any difficulties during the filming process, I hope you can overcome them as much as possible. If you really can't overcome them, you can come to me at any time. I am a very easy-to-talk person..."

Fatty Wang smiled and talked to everyone throughout the whole process, and he seemed to have no airs at all.

His Mandarin is very good, and those who don’t know him would think he is from the mainland.

After speaking for seven or eight minutes, he gave the director the opportunity to speak, and the director arranged the shooting plan and paid attention to it.

One of them is to do all the tricks yourself, unless it is a high-risk action.

Upon hearing this, some people's expressions changed subtly.

Li Yapeng calmly touched his knee.

Last year during the filming of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, he injured his leg in a fighting scene. He is doing well now, but he is a bit shadowed by Diao Wei Ya.

After the meeting, Fatty Wang led everyone to another private room in the hotel to eat and drink.

In the box, there were a bunch of boys and a bunch of girls.

There were so many beauties on the girls' side, and a large group of people didn't know what topic they were talking about, and they were all smiling and dancing, which was very eye-catching.

When talking about the boys in the crew, they all looked at Ding Xiu.

Ding Xiu was drinking with Cheng Xiaodong, and he vaguely heard someone saying that he was handsome. He looked towards the girls, and the girls quickly averted their eyes.
