This actor needs more money

Before Ding Xiu's wedding banquet was finished, Gao Yuanyuan's phone call came. He didn't say anything, just chatting. Like ordinary lovers, they wouldn't stop talking on the phone for an hour or two.

By the time he finished talking on the phone, the wedding banquet was over. Chen Farong, Ye Xuan and others were so depressed that they had been left out. They didn't even have time to say a word to Ding Xiu.

Ding Xiu recalled the two hours of phone conversations with Gao Yuanyuan. It seemed that they had chatted, but they didn't talk about anything.

At noon the next day, Ding Xiu went to say goodbye to Cheng Long before leaving Hong Kong Island. Before leaving, Cheng Long patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Remember the mythological TV series I told you last time? The script is already being worked on. If it goes quickly, it will be launched in the first half of this year. Remember to save your schedule."

It's the end of the year now, and filming will start in the first half of next year, which means it's only a few months away. Ding Xiu didn't expect the crew's preparations to be so fast.

But without seeing the script, he didn't dare to agree easily. If it was a thunderous drama, it would be a waste of time to accept it.

The most important thing is that the remuneration has not been negotiated yet. This is the key point. If the money is more, he will also accept the drama.

"Ahem, what about that, brother, if it's convenient, can you show me the script?"

Cheng Long: "..."

There are not many young people who dare to question him now. They don't even trust the dramas he personally recommends. This shows how wary you have to be of him.

However, considering that Ding Xiu was not an ordinary person, he tolerated it.

"Yes, I'll send you the script later."

"Um, the cast?"

"I'll tell you when it's confirmed. Don't worry, they are definitely big names. You can't lose."

Cheng Long can still guarantee this. The investor and producer of Shinhwa are both Emperors, and there is no shortage of money. Since the filming is about to start, all good actors must be used.

"Where's the pay?"

Cheng Long: "..."

Ding Xiu talks a lot of nonsense.

"Aren't you busy catching a plane? Why don't you leave?"

After initially getting in touch with Cheng Long, Ding Xiu still didn't know much about the drama Shinhwa, or didn't know much about it. He only knew that the other party wanted him to play the male lead.

I don’t know who the heroine is, whether she is pretty or not, how much she is paid, and nothing else.

Ding Xiu didn't have much hope for this drama. Maybe he would meet a better actor in a few days and the role would be changed.

After all, in modern society, a signature written in black and white is more accurate than a verbal promise. When the contract is signed, he will not consider the drama again.

In the evening, at the Magic City Hotel, the new Shanghai Beach cast and crew reunited.

It's said to be a crew reunion, but it's actually just a few people, Ding Xiu, Huang Xiaoming, Sun Li, Li Xuejian, and director Gao Xi.

Facing the upcoming publicity activities, Li Xuejian was in poor health and could only run half of the event, and Gao Xi could not follow him often.

The main responsibilities are all given to three young people: Ding Xiu, Huang Xiaoming, and Sun Li.

The next day, the promotion began, first with TV interviews, then with media interviews.

When he asked the crew about interesting things about filming, Ding Xiu was almost stumped.

This drama has been completed for half a year, and I am so busy at work every day, so there are so many interesting things. Besides, filming is work, and it can be quite boring sometimes.

When the host asked if there was anything he was happy about, Ding Xiu's first reaction was that he was not filming.

Because I can control my time freely, I can sleep when I want, drink when I want, and I can stay up late at night and read online novels.

A few days later, Peking TV station came out.

Ding Xiu, wearing a thick down jacket, bid farewell to Huang Xiaoming and Sun Li.

"How many drinks are you really going to have?"

"No, the company still has something to do. Next time, I'll ask you next time."

At the door of the TV station, Huang Xiaoming and Ding Xiu shook hands and said goodbye, declining the invitation to go drinking together.

Ignoring him, Ding Xiu walked towards Sun Li and hugged her: "I know you don't drink, so I won't look for you. I will come to my house as a guest when I have time."

"Thank you. I don't dare to go to your house. What if you make me drink?"

"Am I like that kind of person?"

"Like, by the way, I heard that you were fighting dozens of people on Hong Kong Island alone. Is it true?"

"of course it's true."

"Let me go, are you really good at internal energy?"

"I know a little bit. I'll teach you how to beautify your face when I have time another day."

"You won't be like Zhang Wuji, who has to take off his clothes to detoxify a woman, right?"

"You still understand me."

Huang Xiaoming felt uncomfortable listening to the two of them chatting. Ding Xiu was just a beast. He shook hands with him and hugged women.

If I hadn’t practiced kung fu before, sometimes I would really want to practice with him.

I had no other intention, I just wanted to beat him up, or be beaten up by him.

In 2007, a few days after New Year's Day, New Shanghai Beach was broadcast.

"Wandering"

"Wandering"

"Ten thousand miles rolling"

"The river never rests"

“Everything is gone”

"Worldly Affairs"

"Mixed and eloquent"

"a trend"

In the first episode, Xu Wenqiang, played by Huang Xiaoming, smiles, smokes, lowers his head, and presses his hat. The four actions look handsome and melancholy, which makes people feel distressed. At first glance, he looks like a man with a story.

Ding Xiu's Ding Li is selling fruits and peeling pears in the corner of the train station, and is skilled in knife skills.

"It's still a classic melody, I like it."

"Xiao Ming's Xu Wenqiang feels no worse than Fa Ge's, and the picture quality of the scenes and props is better than the original version."

"Poor Ding Xiu, why did he become ugly? How did he put on the makeup?"

"Sun Li is beautiful, she does have the air of a lady."

On the first day of broadcast, the ratings of New Shanghai Beach exceeded 6, which is a very high result. This result is already considered a hit drama.

The big reason why it can attract so many viewers is emotion.

Although Shanghai Bund has been remade several times over the years, the most famous one is Chow Yun-fa's version in the 1980s. At that time, anyone with a TV set would find it almost impossible to fit anyone in the room.

After so many years, the audience's attention still remains at that time, and the remakes over the years are either not well-known, or are only circulated in Hong Kong Island.

So this time, the older generation of mainland audiences have high expectations for New Shanghai.

Director Gao Xi not only plays the emotional card, but also has the idol effect. The actors he hired are all popular Xiaosheng Xiaohua, Ding Xiu, Huang Xiaoming, Sun Li. The boys are handsome and the girls are beautiful. All of them have a large number of student fans.

Of course, the veteran actors have not been left behind. Li Xuejian, who has excellent reputation and reputation, is a great tool for attracting middle-aged and elderly audiences.

Feelings and idols, this kind of Wangbang is thrown out, and the audience is basically attracted by half.

The rest is the plot and serviceability. Don’t worry about serviceability. The current technology and investment will definitely beat the old version of Shanghai.

At that time, people used to watch TV on black and white TVs of more than ten inches. The picture quality could not be compared with today.

The only thing I'm a little worried about is the plot.

In order to be different from the old version, Gao Xi made many changes, such as Xu Wenqiang's patriotic character, Ding Li's domineering character, the brotherhood entanglement between the two, Feng Jingyao's scheming, etc.

Now that we have only played the first two episodes, it’s hard to say how the audience will react. We won’t know whether it’s good or bad until at least a third of the episode is aired.

A week later, the forty-two episodes of New Shanghai came to its fourteenth episode.

"I wonder if this plot is getting a little stale. It's been so many episodes and we're still talking about the fight between Ding Li, Xu Wenqiang, Feng Jingyao, Fatty Jin, and Lao Jiu."

"This progress makes me anxious. The old version is almost coming to an end at this time."

"The plot changes are a bit big, and there is too much description of the brotherhood between Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li."

"The more I watch it, the more I like it. It's getting better and better. The filming is very good. Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li have begun to evolve from small characters, and the characters' personalities have changed unconsciously."

"Can anyone tell me why there are so many dramas about Ding Li? Isn't Xu Wenqiang the protagonist?"

"Xu Wenqiang, didn't you see Ding Xiu's name in front of Huang Xiaoming on the cast list? It means he is the protagonist."

"Good guy, Ding Lichuan, right?"

A week has passed and fourteen episodes have been aired. More and more different voices are participating in the discussion. Most of the people who say that the plot is dragging are old viewers.

After all, the old version of Shanghai on the Beach only had twenty-five episodes in total, which was very short, and one episode was not as long as it is now. If you cut off the beginning and end, one episode only lasted about thirty minutes.

The new version of "Shanghai Beach" lasts forty-seven minutes, excluding the opening and ending songs, it also lasts forty minutes.

If you convert the old version, twenty-five episodes are only equivalent to more than ten episodes now. It's strange that old audiences are not in a hurry to watch it.

However, young audiences still like it, because many of them are watching Shanghai Beach for the first time. After all, those who can remember the 1980s version are the old viewers in the 50s and 60s.

After more than 20 years, the tastes of today’s young people are still a little different.

The ratings exceeded 6 on the day it aired, and the ratings exceeded 9 after a week. From this result, it can be seen that most viewers still accept the new version of Shanghai Tang.

At the same time, other TV stations and local stations have begun to broadcast New Shanghai Beach one after another.

Because there are many TV stations broadcasting it, the audience has a lot of choices, and the ratings are invisibly lowered, but the popularity is getting higher and higher, and it is almost known to everyone.

The sound of the bell every day has become the bell for many children and young people to go home.

In some small counties, some children tear off a large piece of toilet paper and hang it around their necks, which is Xu Wenqiang.

Fan Binbin: "Congratulations, the new Shanghai Beach broadcast, Brother Xiu and Xiao Ming are popular again, when are you going to treat us to dinner?"

Deng Chao: "It made my eyes turn red. Why can't I encounter such a good drama?"

Wang Baoqiang: "Brother Chao, don't be famous. Sister Sun Li is the number one female. It's not a loss."

Huang Xiaoming: "Brother Xiu, I feel that my style of painting is wrong. More and more people are scolding me on my blog every day. I looked at yours and they are all compliments."

Ding Xiu: "Otherwise, why do you think I didn't want the role of Xu Wenqiang in the first place?"

Fan Binbin: "What's the gossip?"

Huang Xiaoming: "No gossip, the director first approached Brother Xiu and asked him to play Xu Wenqiang. He refused and insisted on playing Ding Li. In the end, I let him go."

After joining the group, he knew that Ding Li's character was indeed better than Xu Wenqiang's. There was a lot of room for character growth and more room for performance.

Unlike Xu Wenqiang, the character has almost no changes in his heart. He has always been a righteous, patriotic, affectionate, and good person.

The most unlucky thing is that Chow Yun-fa's Zhuyu is in front, and it is inevitable to be compared to him. Now those who criticize him are Chow Yun-fa's old fans, saying that he acts like a gangster and is not a gentleman at all.

He held an umbrella for Feng Chengcheng and put most of the umbrella on his head to let Feng Chengcheng get wet in the rain.

Huang Xiaoming was so angry that he couldn't sleep for several nights.

Ding Xiu is different. When he appeared, he was slovenly and a bit silly. Later, he became a killer for money, took over the territory, and fought fiercely. Step by step, his character became more and more fleshed out.

There are more and more viewers who like him.

In fact, Huang Xiaoming also wanted to play Ding Li, but he couldn't. He was not as big a star as Ding Xiu, and there was a management company behind him. He couldn't decide what he wanted to play.

…

Ding Xiuren was not in Peiping. After completing the promotion of the TV series, he stayed with Gao Yuanyuan for two days and Qin Lan for two days, and then was informed that he had to go out for a commercial performance.

Later, the new Shanghai Beach was a big hit, and the broadcast went crazy. More cooperation came to our door, and we were so busy every day.

On the highway to Peiping, in the RV, Ding Xiu was wearing slippers, legs crossed, chatting on QQ on his mobile phone, while Zhao Liying massaged his shoulders behind him.

"Brother Xiu, you've been making a lot of money these days, are you getting cramps in your hands from counting the money?"

Ding Xiu rolled his eyes: "I didn't even see the shadow of the money."

The money was sent to the company, which settled the accounts for him regularly. It was impossible to get it in the short term. Of course, if he was in a hurry to use the money, Qin Gang could give it to him.

I'm going too far. It's not just making money and making money. I did make a lot of money during this period, but who would think that this thing is too much money.

He regrets that he received too many advertisements in the past two years, which affected his current income.

There is no way, some advertisements conflict with each other, such as washing powder advertisements. If you accept this advertisement, you cannot accept that advertisement. The same is true for clothing, digital products, and electrical appliances.

In the past two years, his net worth was not high, and many brands took over it because they saw a lot of money.

Who knew it would become more and more popular. If you take it now, it won’t be the same price as before. Unfortunately, without if, the brand endorsement contract will not expire and you cannot endorse new brands.

Unless you terminate the contract unilaterally, but the compensation is too much, you can't afford it.

"Harm, we are all a family anyway. Sister Yuanyuan's custody is the same as yours."

Zhao Liying thought Ding Xiu meant that the money was with Gao Yuanyuan and that he couldn't see or touch it.

"Forget it, you don't understand even after I tell you." Ding Xiu sighed, and then asked: "Is there any other work next?"

"No, we can rest for half a month when we go back. By the way, next week is Brother Huang Bo's wedding, you remember to attend."

"I know this. He even asked me to be his best man. I don't know what he was thinking. Aren't you afraid that I would be in the limelight?"

Huang Bo is getting married next week in Peiping, and he and Bao Qiang are invited to be the best men.

As one of the few friends who has known each other for many years, Ding Xiu had to attend anyway, so he deliberately arranged his work forward to make time when the time came.

"Hahaha, brother Xiu, just wear something simple when the time comes, but no matter how simple your clothes are, they may not be able to cover up your handsomeness."

"I like to hear this. By the way, you can ask Xiaolan and Yuanyuan what you should give as a gift."

Zhao Liying clicked her tongue: "Do you want to ask both of them?"

Ding Xiu tilted his head: "Aren't they going?"

If the two women didn't go, he wouldn't have so many worries, but this is impossible. If he is not careful, it will lead to a fight between dragons and tigers.

In the early days of his stay in Peiping, in order to deal with the two women, he often entered the tiger's den and then the wolf's den, which was more tiring than challenging the eight major martial arts schools.
