This actor needs more money

Wang Handing's private restaurant's cuisine is indeed good. Ding Xiu's food tastes no worse than that of a five-star hotel. The most important thing is that the cuisine is unique. It is rare to be able to do this.

Before leaving, he asked the waiter to pack two uneaten dishes and bring them back to Zhao Liying. While eating, Zhao Liying almost chewed them off and gave a thumbs up saying they were delicious.

The next morning, Ding Xiu did not leave Shonan immediately, but instead shot an advertisement for sports running shoes.

Previously, Wang Han said that Tiantian Shanghang had a sponsor who needed a spokesperson and recommended him. Later, Yang Siwei also negotiated with him.

The brand is Xtep.

The endorsement fee is 7.6 million, signed for three years.

The price seemed very high, and Ding Xiu didn't have to do anything. He only had to show his face to get 7.6 million.

In fact, it is not easy at all. After signing with this brand, he will no longer be able to endorse other sports shoes, and he cannot even wear shoes with obvious logos from other brands in public.

Otherwise, if you were carrying someone else’s Xtep endorsement and turned around and just wore Nike, it would be weird if I didn’t sue you.

After spending the whole morning filming Xtep's commercial, Ding Xiu left Shonan by plane in the afternoon and headed to Hengdian Film and Television City.

Ding Xiu has to stay in Hengdian for a few months every year. Sometimes he considers whether to buy a house here, otherwise it will be inconvenient to stay in hotels all the time.

Not long after Ding Xiu arrived at the hotel, there was a knock on the room door.

Opening the door, it was director Li Guoli, an old acquaintance. He had also filmed Sword of Swordsman before.

"Brother Xiu, I organized a dinner party tonight and invited all the leading actors of the crew. Let's meet and get to know each other. It will be easier to cooperate in the future."

"There's no need to trouble Director Li for such a trivial matter, just make a phone call."

"It's just a few steps away. My room is next to yours. Come over and play when you have time."

"Okay Director Li, I must go."

"I won't disturb your rest. I'll meet you at seven o'clock in the evening. I'll send you the seat of the box."

After a simple hello, Li Guoli left.

In fact, he just came over to say hello. The crew gathering for dinner was just like Ding Xiu said, it was just a phone call. The main reason why he came over was to say hello to Ding Xiu.

Today is different from the past. When Ding Xiu played the role of "Xian Jian Yi" for the first time, he was not as famous as he is now. At that time, he was called Ding Xiu and Xiao Ding.

Nowadays, he is the king of TV shows and movies. He must be called Brother Xiu. He is a big shot who can influence the crew's shooting.

At 6:50 in the evening, Ding Xiu changed his clothes and went downstairs ten minutes early. The meeting place was this hotel, which was only a few steps away.

When I came to the box and opened the door, the rest of the people had already arrived.

There were about ten people sitting there, and it was packed to the rafters.

In addition to director Li Guoli and leading female lead Yang Mi, Ding Xiu also saw the former assistant director and screenwriter of Sword and Fairy. If I remember correctly, they should be named Hou Wenjie and Yang Rui.

The rest are mostly unfamiliar faces.

Ding Xiu said: "I'm sorry for being late. I will punish myself with three drinks."

"It's not too late. The time hasn't come yet. We were promised at seven o'clock, so we're early."

A few steps away, Li Guoli stood up to greet him, and the rest of the crowd also got off their seats and stood up to face Ding Xiu.

"You have just arrived, so you may not be familiar with everyone. Let me introduce you. This is Yang Mi, who plays Xuejian."

Putting his arm around Ding Xiu's shoulders, Li Guoli introduced Yang Mi first.

"Hello, brother Xiu." Yang Mi smiled, shook hands with Ding Xiu, and bowed.

"Hello."

Ding Xiu works in a company, and he doesn't have Alzheimer's disease. Of course he knows Yang Mi, but in front of so many people, he still wants to avoid any suspicion.

Besides, Li Guoli really didn’t know that Yang Mi knew him? The introduction is a process. In addition to giving Ding Xiu face, it also allows others to get to know each other.

"This is Liu Sisi, playing Solanum Solanum."

The second person introduced was a girl in her twenties. She was young, pure and beautiful, with a good figure, and looked like a big student.

"Hello, Brother Xiu, I am a new actor Liu Sisi. Just call me Sisi. Please give me your advice."

Not only did she look like a college student, but her way of speaking was similar to that of a student. She was not as smooth and sophisticated. Facing Ding Xiu, Liu Sisi was a little nervous and awkward, for fear of offending others by saying the wrong thing.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Cai and I are old acquaintances. Are you a student?"

"No, it's been one year since I graduated from college."

"Awesome, graduating from college at such a young age?"

"Ha, I went to a dance academy, which is a bit special."

She was admitted to the Peking Opera Vocational College in the fourth grade. After graduating at the age of fifteen, she went to study in the ballet department of the Peking Dance Academy. It has been more than a year since she graduated.

At the same time, I have been in the industry for more than a year.

Because when she just graduated, she was valued by Sugar Man and signed a contract with the company.

"This is Tang Yan, playing Zixuan."

"Hello brother Xiu."

"There are so many beauties in our crew, and Director Li's vision for selecting people is as good as ever."

"Brother Xiu, that's an award. I'm also new to film and television, and I'm not very good at acting. If there's anything I didn't do well, please point it out and I'll try my best to correct it."

"There's no point in giving advice. We all communicate with each other. I haven't been in the industry for a long time. I'm just a few years older than you and have filmed a few more movies. By the way, is your agent Sister Hua?"

If Ding Xiu remembered correctly, Wang Jinhua was entertaining all day long.

When she switched to Huayi, she took a large number of artists with her, and her new employer was Chengtian Entertainment.

Tang Yan gently smoothed his hair and said with a sweet smile: "I would like to, but Sister Hua is our artist director and has rarely led artists in recent years."

The implication is that she is not Wang Jinhua's artist.

A big shot like Wang Jinhua, whose subordinates are either movie kings or movie queens, how can he look down on a little transparent person like her who has just debuted? They are not on the same level.

She is just one of Wang Jinhua's many agents.

"Sister Hua is now a big boss. She doesn't have to do everything herself. I'm envious. I also want to live like her. Next time you see her, say hello to me."

"must."

Tang Yan had a smile on her face, but she was miserable in her heart. Her family knew about her affairs, and she was afraid that Ding Xiu's words would not be conveyed to her.

According to insiders in the company, Sister Hua is ready to start her own business, just like she did when she changed jobs in Huayi.

The difference is that this time she wants to start her own company and be the leader.

You don't need to think about it to know that once she leaves, Chengtian Entertainment will have to follow who knows how many people.

But it’s okay to leave. If the old man doesn’t leave, how will they, the newcomers, get a chance to stand out?

It's like the Legend of Sword and Fairy. Originally, the person the company wanted to hire was not her, but another senior, but because that senior's butt was tilted towards Sister Hua, no, the role belonged to her.

"Hello, I am Huo Jianhua, playing Xu Changqing."

"Hello, Brother Hua."

"Don't dare, don't dare, brother Xiu..."

After going around, Ding Xiu remembered everyone's names.

He is the first male lead, and the second male lead is Huo Jianhua, a popular idol over there who is not very famous. This time he came to test the waters.

This is not surprising to Ding Xiu. In recent years, many actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait have been moving closer to the mainland entertainment industry.

There is no way, who will make the mainland market big.

The third male lead is also a Wanwan actor named Huang Zhiwei. He is very tall, over 1.9 meters tall, and has a burly build. He plays the role of Demon Zhenglou.

The fourth male lead, Lin Chih-chong, is a Hong Kong actor. He previously played the role of Fat Zha Cong in Star Master's Shaolin Soccer, and played the role of Star Zai's good brother in Kung Fu.

The fifth male lead, Liu Jiahui, is a well-known actor in Hong Kong. He has been in the industry for many years. Ding Xiu has seen him many times in Hong Kong movies.

The first female lead is Yang Mi, the second female lead is Liu Sisi, and the third female lead is Tang Yan.

It can be said that this drama brought together many actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, and the scene was no worse than the previous "Sword of Sword".

…

"Jingtian, Xu Changqing, Chonglou, Xuejian, Nightshade, Zixuan... the screenwriter is quite good, the names are really nice."

While reading the script, Yang Mi picked up a pen to write and draw. Looking at the names of the protagonists, she sighed with emotion.

"This was not written by the screenwriter." Hearing her murmur, Ding Xiu said: "The Legend of Sword and Fairy Tales was a previous game that was released in 1995, and these names are all in the game."

This is his second time filming Fairy Sword, and he knows much more about this IP than Yang Mi and others.

I checked a lot of information when I was filming Fairy Sword 1 a few years ago. This time I consolidated it more deeply, and even played the Fairy Sword game for a lot of time. Well, I am just addicted to the Internet. I am addicted.

Leaning on the table, Ding Xiu supported his temples and said, "I think the planner might be opening a Chinese medicine shop."

Yang Mi was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Director Li Guoli said with a smile: "Because these are the names of Chinese medicines."

Yang Mi's mouth opened wide: "Is there such a nice name for Chinese medicine?"

In the past, people took their names from the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as from the stars and ancient poems. I have also heard of names taken from traditional Chinese medicine, but not many.

It is rare for this drama to have so many Chinese medicine names appear at once, and they sound so good.

"Then what are the medicinal properties of Xuejian?"

Li Guoli raised his chin towards Ding Xiu: "Brother Xiu should know."

Ding Xiu said slowly: "Xuejian is also called toad grass. It is cold in nature, diuretic, clears away heat and detoxifies."

Yang Mi: "..."

With such a nice name, she thought it would have a beautiful story, but who knew that Ding Xiu would be broken into pieces as soon as he opened his mouth.

Toad grass.

Really good at picking names.

Seeing Yang Mi's dark face, the others held back their laughter.

Yang Mi didn't want to embarrass herself, so she asked, "What about Zixuan?"

Zixuan's name is also quite nice. The medicinal name should be similar to her Xuejian, right?

"Zixuan is also called Forget-worn grass. It can treat excessive sadness, sudden unhappiness, and cold and heat."

Yang Mi was numb. Zixuan didn't know about it, but she had heard of Forgetwort, but she didn't expect the meaning to be quite good.

At this time, Tang Yan raised his hand and said, "No wonder the scene between me and Brother Hua ended with us drinking the love-forgetting water and forgetting each other."

Zixuan and Xu Changqing, descendants of Nuwa, fell in love for three lives. In the end, they drank the water of forgetfulness and forgot about each other. But when they turned around, they spit out the water and poured it down.

Nanzhao, where Zixuan grew up, was evergreen all year round and had never seen snow. She once told Xu Changqing that her wish was to see snow, and Xu Changqing promised to watch it with him in the future.

Many years later, heavy snow fell in Shu Mountain. The leader Xu Changqing danced his sword in the snow and sent the heavy snow to Nanzhao, thousands of miles away, where it fell to the white-haired Zixuan.

"What is nightshade?" Liu Sisi was also curious.

"Solanum nigrum can be used as a plant or a flower. It blooms small white flowers and produces fruits like black pearls. It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation and reducing swelling."

Ding Xiu continued to Liu Sisi: "That's why your character has two sides."

Nightshade has a dual personality, one is gentle and the other is vicious, just like its appearance.

In fact, several actors in this drama play multiple roles. Liu Sisi will play two nightshades, and Yang Mi will play Xuejian and Xiyao.

Zixuan and Xu Changqing have a three-life love relationship, so Tang Yan has to perform Zixuan in three different states.

Huo Jianhua is similar, he has to play the past and present life of Xu Changqing.

Ding Xiu is also a one-person triangle, having to play Sedum, Long Yang, and Feipeng.

In fact, he should be in the fourth corner. Li Xiaoyao will also appear in this drama, but there are not many roles, only two, so it is not difficult.

Overall, this drama is quite difficult. It requires a lot of acting, there are a lot of fights, and there are a lot of ancient sayings.

"Chonglou Aesculata also clears away heat and detoxifies. In fact, the medicinal properties of these medicines are just like that. There is nothing unusual about it, but the names are a bit special."

Ding Xiu's curiosity is not as great as Yang Mi's.

He is a martial arts practitioner and half a doctor. His understanding of Chinese medicine is much better than that of ordinary people. It is not surprising that he has seen a lot.

In his eyes, what he saw was not romance, but medicinal properties and value.

Yang Mi admired him and said, "Brother Xiu is really awesome and knows a lot."

Liu Sisi scratched her head: "I have never heard of these things, and they are not taught in school."

"Ahem." Director Li Guoli coughed and said seriously: "In the actor's profession, the final battle is all about culture and heritage. Don't worry about filming. Read more books and learn from Brother Xiu. He has quite a lot of knowledge. He is a big man, well-informed and well-remembered, and has a lot of research on ancient culture."

This was not to praise Ding Xiu, but he really felt that Ding Xiu knew a lot.

I felt it when I worked with Fairy Sword One before. No matter what the topic is, Ding Xiu can pick up the topic. When talking about ancient culture and the history of the Ming Dynasty, Ding Xiu directly transformed into a senior expert and even explained the official dialect of the court. Even the people of that era What to eat, what to use, what to wear, the local customs and customs are all very clear, as if you have seen them in person.

Sometimes Li Guoli felt that if Ding Xiu was not an actor, it would be more than enough for him to become a history teacher in university.

"Excuse me, I just like to read some miscellaneous books, but they are miscellaneous but not sophisticated. Director Li praises me too much." Ding Xiu never expected that he would be regarded as knowledgeable because he just talked about some common knowledge from his past life.

Li Guoli smiled and said: "He is still very humble."

"By the way, Brother Xiu, the martial arts instructor asked you to have a meeting with him later to discuss Sedum's martial arts."

"The writers also want you to give them feedback on their lines."

"You are an expert in ancient Chinese proverbs and martial arts. We listen to you."

Good guy, all the actors present were numb. They looked at Ding Xiu in a wrong way. This must be too awesome. The martial arts instructor and screenwriter wanted to ask him for advice.

It might be because of his high status, but seeing this attitude, I still really want to ask him for advice.

Ding Xiu said calmly: "Let's talk about it when we have time."

You don't want to pay more, and you want him to do the work of martial arts instructor and screenwriter. What are you thinking?

Whoever wants to do it will do it, as long as he plays his part well.

Wouldn’t it be nice to lie down on the chair after filming?

You are my wife, please prove it
