This actor needs more money

At the door, Wang Baoqiang turned on the light bulb and said, "I forgot to tell you. He left not long after you left this morning. He said he was temporarily recommended by a friend to play a small supporting role."

"This kid is hiding his secrets." Ding Xiu murmured.

Both he and Wang Baoqiang knew that Huang Bo had acted in dramas, but they didn't expect that Huang Bo was so wild. He was usually quiet and inconspicuous, and he was just a supporting role when he got a job.

Ding Xiu is not a film and television novice who doesn't know anything. He knows that even a small supporting role is not something that ordinary people can get.

And his friends were able to bring him in just by recommending him, which shows that he has a strong say in the crew.

If he is an actor, he must be at least a senior starring actor who can talk to the director. He is at least one or two levels better than Ding Xiu.

Because after Ding Xiu joined the cast, he told the director that he wanted to recommend someone to play a supporting role, and the director would definitely not favor him.

"Did he say anything else?"

Wang Baoqiang glanced at Gao Yuanyuan and hesitated to speak.

"Why are you hesitating? Tell me?"

"He said that you would help pay for the rent for these two months, and he would like to invite you to a young model in the club when he comes back."

day!

Can you say this in passing?

Doesn't this ruin my image?

Ding Xiu turned to Gao Yuanyuan and said, "Huang Bo is just joking, he is just such a person, and he usually doesn't show up."

Gao Yuanyuan said sternly: "It's best to stay away from this kind of people, otherwise they will lead you into trouble sooner or later."

Ding Xiu nodded: "Well, I have long realized that this boy is not a good person. I will break up with him later."

The rent is paid first. If he doesn't hire a young model from his club, he'll be beaten to death.

Wang Baoqiang: "..."

Speaking of being bad, is there anyone worse than Ding Xiu in the whole yard? I don’t know who led whom.

Knowing that Ding Xiu was busy, Gao Yuanyuan did not disturb him: "I'm going back first. I'll come visit you to play when I have time. Bye."

"Bye-Bye."

After going out, she raised her head and glanced at the light on the door frame. Gao Yuanyuan raised the corners of her mouth, put her hands in her pockets and walked away slowly.

She didn't expect that Ding Xiu would keep his word. He said to install a light last night and installed it in the morning.

…

Qin Gang said he wanted to take a photo album, but Ding Xiu had never taken one, but he had seen a lot of them.

He simply changed into his most handsome clothes and went out.

According to the address Qin Gang gave him, half an hour later he arrived at a street near Jimen Bridge.

In front of the two-story building with a double facade, Ding Xiu raised his head and glanced at the big characters "Qin Chao Entertainment" before pushing open the glass door and entering.

The girl at the front desk is very beautiful, has a good temperament, looks like she is in her early twenties, has long hair, a curvy figure, and a hot figure. She looks like a good girl at first glance, and her character is probably not much different.

The girl greeted him obediently when she saw him coming in.

"Hello, Brother Xiu."

"you know me?"

"Lin Pingzhi, don't you know anyone on the street now?"

"You have a bright future, I'm optimistic about you."

This was the first person to recognize him. I went for a morning jog today and deliberately chose a crowded place, but no one could call out his name.

Ding Xiu wanted to chat a few more words, but Qin Gang stuck his head out from the stairwell and shouted to him: "Brother Xiu, this is it."

Ding Xiu followed Qin Gang to the office on the second floor. The room was very warm. Ding Xiu took off his coat and sat down: "Our company has a good environment and the front desk is beautiful."

"What's the front desk? She's an artist. The company is a start-up and the conditions are difficult. Let her take over temporarily."

Ding Xiu smiled: "You really made the best use of everything. Wang Baoqiang said that he was playing here for an hour, not cleaning."

"Ahem, this is what happens when you start a business. It's just idle time." Pouring Ding Xiu a cup of tea, Qin Gang said: "Let's talk about business. I came to you to take some photos for publicity. While Swordsman is on the air, Let’s see if we can pull off some drama.”

Ding Xiu is the company's number one, by far the most well-known, the artist with the best appearance, the greatest potential, and the most likely to become a star in the future.

The reason why Gone Wulin has been idle for so long after finishing filming is to wait for Swordsman to be aired. With the work in mind, it will be easy to talk about anything when we go out.

"Have you not been able to find a play for so long?" Ding Xiu asked.

Qin Gang is an agent. If he just sits in the office every day, drinks tea and picks up beautiful women, and then waits for him to become popular and then use his fame to talk about dramas, then what is the use of such an agent.

Bao Qiang can do this kind of work.

"I found them. They are all small roles. They may not be broadcast after filming. I didn't agree." With one hand on the desk, Qin Gang worriedly touched his short hair: "You are the number one brother in the company. Let's not talk about it for now." For the price, I can’t give you a second-rate job.”

"In addition to taking photos, I also want to talk to you about future planning. My idea is to take it slow and steady."

"We are specifically targeting big casts, starting from supporting roles. It doesn't matter if there are four or five men, even if the money is less."

"After acting in a few more movies and gaining fame and voice, you can then move up step by step. What do you think?"

Ding Xiu drank the tea in one gulp and tossed the cup back and forth in his hand: "I am playing the second male lead in Swordsman, and now that I have become famous, I am going back to work?"

Qin Gang's eyelids were twitching wildly, fearing that the tea cup would fall on his head in the next second: "Brother Xiu, this is not how accounts are calculated. Lin Pingzhi is a special case."

"Most of the casting situations are that the film studio directly decides on the protagonist, and the remaining roles are found in the market, and whoever is suitable is hired to play the role."

Ding Xiu spread his hands: "Isn't it okay? You can just find a drama that suits me. If I can't play the first male role, then there's no problem with the second and third male roles, right?"

"Brother, do you know how many actors there are in the market? You are suitable for others but not others? Why should they choose you instead of others? The director is not your father."

"I was just making an analogy, an analogy." Seeing Ding Xiu's brows rise, Qin Gang quickly apologized.

Ding Xiu put down the teacup: "Then what do you think we should do?"

Qin Gang solemnly said: "What I mean is to compete for price and service. For the same role, if others are paid 100,000, we are 80,000, and he is 80,000, so we are 50,000."

"Then they don't need money." Ding Xiu knew that some young actors would rather play roles without getting paid in order to get ahead.

He can't stick to his butt.

Qin Gang said calmly: "This involves what I mean by competing for service. Take your Lin Pingzhi as an example. If Baoqiang competes with you, he will not be accepted even if he gives you money."

"He couldn't pass because of his appearance."

Ding Xiu nodded: "I understand, it's like visiting a brothel. No matter how expensive you are, someone will want you if you look like a fairy."

"As long as the skills are good enough, the price is reasonable, but the ugly ones can't be bought no matter how cheap they are, because the customers won't like them after they are served, and the manager will be beaten."

Qin Gang gave Ding Xiu a thumbs up in his heart. This metaphor is second to none.

"Yes, this is the market. It is cruel and very realistic. If you are not famous, if you want a role, you can only win with price and service."

"There is nothing to say about your service. You are proficient in all kinds of martial arts, including swords, guns, swords and sticks, fists and kicks, riding and shooting, blowing bullets, cough cough."

"Now that the works are available, it may not be easy to get male leads in martial arts dramas in the future, but if the price is kept down, it will be easy to get four male and five male protagonists."

"Of course, I don't have to let you play the fourth or fifth male role. If there is a better role, I will even sleep with the director and help you fight for it."

"Old Qin, this is serious." Ding Xiu squinted his eyes and said, "The fourth and fifth male roles are my bottom line. If you pick up a role other than the fifth male role for me, without you accompanying the director, I will kill you first."
