This actor needs more money

Chapter 27 Buying Movies

Sitting in Wu Jing's passenger seat, Ding Xiu took a look at the interior of the car. The seats were soft and the interior was beautiful.

"Your car isn't cheap, isn't it?"

The corners of Wu Jing's lips curled up: "A BMW worth 680,000 yuan is just an ordinary scooter."

Ding Xiu was a little surprised: "So expensive?"

Wu Jing was very satisfied with his reaction and said calmly: "It's not bad. There are many directors who ask me to shoot movies. I am on the set all year round. This car is not driven very much and is usually left in the garage to collect dust."

Worried that Ding Xiu was too inferior, Wu Jing added: "Don't envy me. I am envious of your kung fu. You can buy a car as long as you have money, but you can't buy kung fu."

Kung Fu needs to be practiced, not just a day or two, but ten or twenty years, practicing in the winter and in the summer. Get up early every morning and practice every day for ten years.

He had been practicing for twenty years, but he couldn't do a single move in Ding Xiu's hands, and he felt so fucked up in his heart.

Ding Xiu said helplessly: "If possible, I would like to exchange half of my martial arts for a lifetime of glory and wealth."

Wu Jing: "Why half?"

Ding Xiu: "Because half of it is already invincible."

Wu Jing didn't want to talk much when he met someone who was more pretentious than him. He stepped on the accelerator and quickly shuttled through the metropolis of Peking.

After a while, he heard no movement. He turned his head and saw Ding Xiu leaning on the car window with one hand, staring at the scenery outside in a daze.

The howling wind ruffled his hair, which reminded Zhang Guorong of his melancholy in "Ashes of Time".

"Park in front."

Seeing someone riding a three-wheeler selling CDs on the street, Ding Xiu got off the car and walked over. He had already bought a TV and a DVD, but he hadn't had time to buy a movie yet.

It's so boring to sit around at home every day, he wants to learn some postures, phew, knowledge.

"Boss, do you have a movie?"

The vendor looked at Ding Xiu like he was a fool. He was selling movies, and asked him if he had any movies. Isn't this nonsense?

"What kind of movie do you want?"

"What kind of movies do you have?"

"There are all kinds of movies."

"Then just do it a little bit."

Ding Xiu hasn’t watched many movies and doesn’t quite understand what a good movie is. Most of the movies are recommended to him by hawkers, including Xiao Ma Ge, Liu Dehua, Zhou Xingchi, Li Lizhen, Ye Yuqing... European, American, Japanese and Korean movies are also recommended. Some.

Wu Jing waited for more than ten minutes and saw Ding Xiu getting into the car with sixty or seventy films in his arms. After looking at the cover, his head was covered with black lines.

Ding Xiu said: "You also like to watch Hong Kong movies?"

"I like it, but it's not like you." Wu Jing started to accelerator, staring straight ahead, and said proudly: "I'm going to see Teacher Wu this time to say goodbye. I'm going to Hong Kong Island after I finish filming the few movies I'm working on."

Ding Xiu was puzzled: "Why, aren't you doing well in the mainland?"

Oolong boy broke into love, Tai Chi master, Xiao Li Fei Dao, New Shaolin Temple, Wu Jing debuted not long ago, his stardom is very good, it can be said that it is bright.

No matter how you look at it, leaving the mainland and going to Hong Kong Island is not a good decision.

"I just want to leave because it's so good. The same old costume fight scene is all over the place. If I continue filming, I will still have the same image in the next few years. You won't understand the feeling of not being able to live in a high place. "

Speaking of Hong Kong Island, Wu Jing was in a good mood, and the accelerator pedal was a little lighter: "The film and television industry on Hong Kong Island has a complete system and is in line with international standards. Movies are often screened in the Asia-Pacific region, and many people will be able to see you."

Ding Xiu was confused: "Can it be larger than the population of 1.2 billion?"

Wu Jing curled his lips and offered free science education to Ding Xiu, a film and television novice.

"It's not the same thing. Compared with Hong Kong Island, the development of our mainland's film and television industry is much slower. There are too few films produced every year, and they are basically imported foreign films."

"Do you know how many movies are made in Hong Kong Island in a year? It is at least ten times that of ours. Their actors' salaries are still high. All the first-line stars are worth tens of millions. Those who can enter Hollywood, such as Li Lienjie, Cheng Long and others, their salary Over 100 million.”

"In the Mainland, they are also first-tier stars. A TV series can cost up to tens of thousands of yuan, and a movie can cost more than a million. This price is the price of third-tier actors over there. If it were you, how would you choose?"

"There are some choices that are definitely more expensive." Ding Xiu said calmly: "So you go there because you want to take your career to the next level?"

"Um."

Wu Jing nodded heavily: "I want to be like my senior brother Li Lienjie, playing from the mainland to Hong Kong Island, and then all the way to Hollywood. This is my dream."

"I hope you will realize your dream one day and become someone like your senior brother."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, I was just saying casually, don't take it seriously."

Ding Xiu has never been to Hong Kong Island, but he also knows that wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

With the development of film and television in Hong Kong, there is bound to be a fight between dragons and tigers. Without any relevant background, if it goes by like this, what awaits him will only be a beating from society.

"If you can't speak, just say a few words!"

If Wu Jing wasn't driving a car, he would definitely be squaring off with Ding Xiu, a matter of life and death.

"If you get ahead, if you get a high-paying role, remember to come to me. As long as it's not a pornographic film, I can play anything."

Ding Xiu picked out a few of the more than sixty discs in his arms and said, "If the heroine is the one on these covers, it's not like I can't dedicate myself to art."

Wu Jing took a glance and saw Zhang Min, Qiu Shuzhen, Wang Zhuxian, Li Zhi, and Guan Zhilin.

This LSP has really good vision!

"Okay, I'll let you know when I get the chance."

If I have the chance, I'll do it myself, why are I still waiting for you?

In the afternoon, Wang Baoqiang came back. When he opened the door, he saw Ding Xiu sunbathing in the yard, with the wicker chair he just bought under his buttocks.

"Brother, haven't you practiced martial arts?"

Ding Xiu slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of exhaustion in his eyes: "The amount of exercise today is a bit heavy, so I won't practice. But you, why are you back so early?"

Wang Baoqiang was proud: "I played a small special role, with few scenes, so I ended the work early."

"It's not bad. You're playing a special character. Do you have any lines?"

"I don't have many lines, only four, but I was very serious and practiced for more than an hour...Brother, have you bought the CD?"

The TV was placed in Ding Xiu's room. The door was open at the moment. Wang Baoqiang saw the disc on the table and hurried in.

"Brother, buy so much."

He took a look at it, and found at least more than thirty discs, all of which were classic Hong Kong films, including Prison Scene, God of Gamblers, Young and Dangerous, and Heroic Characters.

Only there were no pornographic films, which puzzled Baoqiang. This was not the Ding Xiu he knew. Could it be that he was wrongly blamed?

Ding Xiu didn't look back. He lay on the chair and closed his eyes. "You can watch it if you want. Turn down the volume. Don't disturb my sleep."

Wang Baoqiang excitedly took out a copy of The King of Comedy, which was Zhou Xingchi's movie in February last year and won the annual box office championship.

The reason why many extras bought the book An Actor's Self-cultivation is because Yin Tianqiu, who started out as a minor player in the film but eventually became the protagonist, loved reading this book.

Everyone believes that as long as they persist, they will one day become a big star like Yin Tianchou in the movie.

The above two sentences were said by Zhou Xueshan, his former roommate. Although Wang Baoqiang yearns for The King of Comedy, he has never had the chance to watch it. Today is the first time.
