This actor needs more money

Ding Xiu originally wanted to take Bai Bin to climb the long and large Great Wall, but unfortunately the mountain was blocked by heavy snow and he couldn't go up, so he didn't have this opportunity.

I could only go to the Forbidden City once and see the white tiles and red walls.

Not to mention, going to the Forbidden City in this kind of weather has a unique flavor. It feels like dreaming back to the Ming Dynasty. Especially on the way, Ding Xiu saw a group of college students wearing ancient costumes and playing in the snow with lanterns.

After eating and drinking with Ding Xiu for a few days, Bai Bin also planned to go back. Before leaving, he bought a small gift and brought it to his door as a thank you.

When she rang the doorbell, it was Gao Yuanyuan who opened the door for her.

Suddenly, Bai Bin opened his mouth into an O shape: "Sister Yuanyuan."

"Who are you?" Gao Yuanyuan was confused.

"I am Bai Bin, an artist from the Emperor and a friend of Brother Xiu."

It's normal for Gao Yuanyuan not to recognize herself. She only made her debut after Shinhwa aired this year. Before that, she was a little transparent.

But she had met Gao Yuanyuan as early as two years ago. It was at the premiere of the movie Baby Project. At that time, she went to watch the movie with the big boss, but she was sitting in the audience.

Unexpectedly, we would meet again at Ding Xiu's home.

Having said that, Ding Xiu's network of contacts is not very wide. He has so many friends, and Gao Yuanyuan showed up in just a few days.

"It turns out you are Brother Xiu's friend, hello."

After looking at Bai Bin for a few times, Gao Yuanyuan said hello politely without inviting anyone in. At this time, her heart was the same as the weather.

Qin Lan had told her before that Ding Xiu was flirting with a little girl, and it must be the one in front of him.

If she didn't keep a straight face now, she would be considered well-educated.

Standing at the door, Bai Bin was embarrassed: "Brother Xiu isn't at home?"

"No, he went to attend someone else's wedding." Gao Yuanyuan said sideways, "How about you come in and sit for a while."

"No, no, I have nothing to do." Bai Bin put down the gift and said with a forced smile: "I just want to thank him for taking care of him these days. I put the things down and wait until he comes back to tell him that I have been here."

No matter how stupid she is, she can see how Gao Yuanyuan can be simple if she can stay alone in Ding Xiu's house. As for the specific relationship, she doesn't bother to ask.

If it was only Qin Lan, she could ask around the corner, but now that there was another Gao Yuanyuan, she had no need to ask.

It can only be said that Ding Xiu has a good rapport with the opposite sex.

No one was polite, Gao Yuanyuan said immediately: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring it."

"Sister Yuanyuan, I'm leaving. Goodbye."

After waving his hand, Bai Bin put his hands in his jacket pockets and left. He walked not far and turned around when he heard the door closing behind him.

In the ice and snow, the gate of the huge courtyard was closed tightly, and there was thick snow on the eaves and the door. Walking a little further, you could see the thick jujube trees in the yard bent down by the heavy snow.

At the Peninsula Hotel, Ding Xiu and Qin Lan were attending Liu Tao's wedding. After giving gifts at the door, the two entered the venue together. They saw several celebrities in the industry along the way.

"Brother Jun, long time no see. What have you been busy with recently?"

Seeing the tall Hu Jun from a distance, Ding Xiu waved and walked over to say hello.

The two had collaborated on Tian Long Ba Bu before, and they were still very familiar with each other during the few months they had been on the set. Although they hadn't seen each other for several years, their status was now enough to carry on the initial favor.

If we were just "colleagues" at the beginning, we can now be called friends.

This is the case in the entertainment industry. As long as you have value, you will never lack friends around you.

Not to mention that he was Murong Fu back then and was just a walk-on. Now when we meet Hu Jun again, we can say that we have worked together and developed friendships with each other.

"Ding Xiu, long time no see. You haven't contacted me much since you became famous."

"No, aren't you busy with work? This is my friend Qin Lan."

"Hello, brother Jun. I'm actor Qin Lan. Please take care of me."

"Hello……"

Taking Qin Lan with him, Ding Xiu introduced all the people he knew to her, and Qin Lan enjoyed it. After going around, there were already several more names in her address book.

These connections may not be needed now, but as long as her identity matches, they will be resources.

Of course, the most important thing was that Ding Xiu introduced her to his friends, which was much better than secretly having an underground relationship.

Soon, the wedding started and Ding Xiu took his seat.

Most of the wedding attendees were friends of the men, not many of the women. They were all entertainers from the entertainment industry. There were only two or three tables, all arranged together. On Ding Xiu's side were Lin Xinru, Yang Kun, Pan Yueming, and his old enemy Shao Bin.

Ruby Lin is very well-known. Ziwei in My Fair Princess was still very popular back then, but after she filmed several Qiong Yao dramas, she no longer has any works. She is a high-flyer and a low-flyer. She is still like that now, and she is completely with her good sister Xiao Yanzi. They are two different things.

Of course, the most popular thing was when the sisters said in an interview that someone actually kissed them during the kissing scene, which gave everyone a chill.

Ding Xiu didn't know whether the incident was true or not, but what was certain was that Erkang's career suffered a huge blow because of it.

At that time, he was a great young man with top-notch acting skills and his career was on the rise. However, because of this incident, he was completely devastated. I heard that now he only has one foot in the entertainment industry and is ready to switch to other businesses.

Through this incident, Ding Xiu learned that no one should mess with women.

Yang Kun was a singer, but Ding Xiu didn't listen to his songs very much, wasn't familiar with them, and didn't talk much about them.

On the other hand, Pan Yueming was very close, and he chatted for a few words.

I know that this buddy is still in the White Snake. He plays Xu Xian and Liu Tao plays Bai Suzhen. This version of the White Snake between the two is very innovative. Xu Xian already knew that Bai Suzhen was a monster, but he still wanted to play.

When the drama reached this point, among the people Ding Xiu admired, besides Ning Caichen, there was another hero.

Although this version of Xu Xian is different and has a tricky angle, the ratings are very good. Pan Yue has become popular and has established a foothold in the ranks of second-tier actors, not far from the first-tier.

Prior to this, he had filmed two male lead roles in Beijing Yanyun and Hongyifang. The ratings were both good and he had good resources behind him.

It seems that it will be a matter of time before we leave the front line.

"Lao Pan, I like your play very much. Let's work together sometime."

"Okay, I also like your movies very much, especially the martial arts movies, they are exciting."

"Then let's exchange phone numbers and keep in touch when we have time."

"It's a good relationship. My home is in Peiping. I can come and visit when I have time."

"I am also in Peking."

"Hey, what a coincidence..."

As the two chatted, they realized that the two families were in the same city, only half an hour's drive away, so Ding Xiu and Pan Yueming drank a few more drinks.

One is acquainted with each other, and the other is a talkative person. Both of them are good-natured people, and soon they seem to regret meeting each other.

Shao Bin, who sat diagonally across from Ding Xiu at the same table, smiled the whole time, greeted the people around him, and exchanged a few words with Ding Xiu, as if the unpleasantness between the two did not exist.

In fact, if he hadn't seen him again, Ding Xiu would have almost forgotten Shao Bin. There was such a huge gap between them.

Seven or eight years ago, Shao Bin was in his early thirties and a popular actor. His career was at its peak and he could join the ranks of first-line actors.

Times have changed, and now this guy is nearly 40 years old. He hasn't filmed leading roles for a long time. He has been working as a green leaf in various major production crews, acting as supporting roles for others.

Not to mention the second line, the third line is almost unstoppable.

Ding Xiu doesn't need to bully people when they are quite old. Although it is quite satisfying to add insult to injury, it is also time-consuming. With his current status, it is completely unnecessary.

Seeing that Ding Xiu didn't pay attention to him, Shao Bin breathed a sigh of relief.

Today is different from the past. If I had known that Ding Xiu was coming, he wouldn't have come today, and even if he did, he wouldn't sit at this table.

Back then, when he was young and angry, he did things willfully without considering the consequences. He just wanted to be happy for a while. Because of Xiao Ao Jiang Hu, Zhang Da Beard gave him eye drops and said everywhere that he was acting like a big star.

As a result, he was out of action for a long time.

As time goes by, without any works to support the popularity, the popularity will decrease. Newcomers are rising rapidly after the millennium. Handsome young students are everywhere competing for jobs. Investors and directors are willing to find others, not him.

So much so that now he is reduced to playing supporting roles to live his life.

Actors are different from singers. A singer can sing a song for a lifetime, but an actor cannot sustain a TV series for a lifetime. Even the most classic drama is the same. One drama is simply not enough.

Three to five years, ten to eight years from now, who will still know who you are?

Shao Bin had accepted his fate to find himself in the situation he was in now. It was all his own doing, no one could blame him.

"Thank you to all the guests, relatives and friends for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the wedding of Ms. Liu Tao and Mr. Wang Ke..."

The host read the opening remarks on the stage, and Ding Xiu and others also put down their wine glasses and looked at the stage.

After a while, today's male and female protagonists all arrived.

The man is wearing a suit and leather shoes and looks very young in his late twenties. The woman is wearing a white wedding dress and is very beautiful.

On the stage, Liu Tao talked about his love. Only then did Ding Xiu know that she had a flash marriage and got the certificate last year. It took less than twenty days from the time they met to get the certificate.

"I announce that starting from today, I will retire from the entertainment industry and will not act again in the future."

Liu Tao said this with a smile in front of everyone. It can be seen that there is no reluctance, only happiness.

Many guests present were obviously frightened by these words, and some whispered in low voices.

"Sister Tao doesn't act anymore, it's such a pity."

"Oh, love is so great."

"Actually, you can continue acting after getting married without conflict."

"If I had a rich husband, I wouldn't act."

"Ha, she wants to act, but she has to agree with her husband. Who wants his daughter-in-law to be exposed outside, not to mention that it is easy for a woman to suffer when filming, because she is kissed and hugged at the same time."

"The threshold for wealthy families is high, and their vision is also high."

Liu Tao's husband is a rich man, working in finance. He has a net worth of hundreds of millions in his twenties. He is nicknamed the Fourth Young Master of Beijing. With his good family background, he can really afford the word "rich".

After marrying into a wealthy family, she will have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life, and her status will also increase. There is really no need to continue filming.

In fact, Liu Tao's approach is not unusual. Many female artists make this choice. When they are young, they work hard for their careers, and when they are older, they find a rich man to marry.

For example, among those Hong Kong stars in the 1990s, none of them tried their best to join the wealthy families.

"Hey, there are still movies to watch."

Ding Xiu was eating melon seeds, and without paying attention, a short movie started playing on the big screen on the stage.

Ahem, serious movie.

A short short film, Liu Tao made it himself, recording the process of meeting and falling in love with her husband. It can be seen that she is very happy on the screen.

This made the female guests in the audience envious.

Especially some female artists, their eyes are almost blurred, and they hope that they can find a rich husband who loves them in the future.

There are many steps in the wedding. After the short film, there was a singing session. As a singer, Yang Kun was roped in to sing a song.

Because he was young and famous, Ding Xiu was also called up by Liu Tao. He said a few words of blessing and sang an old song that he was not good at. He was also teased a few times and asked when he would get married.

After simply fooling him, Ding Xiu wiped the sweat from his forehead after stepping off the stage.

After attending the wedding, Ding Xiu and Qin Lan left.

In the car, seeing Qin Lan expressionless, Ding Xiu asked, "What, are you envious?"

"I have nothing to envy, not at all." Qin Lan leaned against the car window, with his fist on his temple, and said lazily: "It is not wise at all for a woman to give up her career for a man."

"It's better if we don't quarrel in the future. Once we quarrel, people will say, you eat my food, drink my food, use my food, tsk tsk, that taste."

Ding Xiu smiled: "With Liu Tao's qualifications, she will never be able to use up all the money she has earned over the years. This kind of thing should not happen to her."

Rolling his eyes, Qin Lan said: "You don't understand, finance is a woman's strength. When a woman is completely dependent on a man, she loses herself."

"Man, no one is trustworthy. Just watch, she will regret it sooner or later."

Liu Tao joined the art troupe at the age of fifteen. As a woman with no background, Qin Lan knew very well how difficult it was to get to where he is today.

As a result, she gave up the career she had been working on for more than ten years because she fell in love with a man.

It's not worth even thinking about it for her.

There are obviously better choices, such as the half-life state, such as balancing family and career.

If she chooses the latter, with her husband's strength, she can definitely take her career to the next level.

Glancing at Ding Xiu, Qin Lan said: "But I don't have the confidence to criticize others. At least Sister Tao married a young and promising rich man. She got the certificate and got married, and there was a result."

"Maybe a few years later, I won't even be able to get a certificate, my wealth and sex will be gone, and I will become a yellow-faced woman that no one wants."

"Ahem." Ding Xiu coughed: "How is that possible?"

"It's impossible, but it doesn't matter. If it doesn't work, I'll save some money and look for some fresh meat. These days, as long as you have money, you can't find anyone. You men can find someone who is eighteen years old, and so can we women. Can."

Ding Xiu: "..."

The news of Liu Tao's wedding has caused a stir in the entertainment industry. Some people lamented, some gave blessings, and some mourned.

Especially fans who like her have left messages on the blog.

"Sister Tao, be back soon. How can I live without you?"

"I'm still waiting for you to play Teacher Bai."

"Bless Sister Tao, I hope you will have a happy life in the future. Ahem, if it doesn't work, you can come back to film. We are waiting for you."

"Oh, it's a pity that there is one less actress to watch."

"Farewell, my youth."

"The 365th day of remembering the White Snake."

"It's time to part ways. It's a long way to go. See you again someday."

On this night, Liu Tao gained love, and at the same time he lost hundreds of thousands of followers, and his popularity was not as good as before.
