This actor needs more money

"Calm down, where is this? It's not just the first two episodes. I'm not even in the third episode, but only in the fourth episode."

Ding Xiu's next words made Qin Lan even more devastated.

I haven't appeared in three episodes, is this still a starring role?

"Brother Xiu, has your play been deleted?"

She was at the company normally on the day ATV sent the contract, and heard Qin Gang say with her own ears that Ding Xiu's contract had been changed and a lot of scenes had been added.

It only appeared in the fourth episode now. It doesn’t look like a starring role, it’s no different from an ordinary supporting role.

You know, Wu Jing and Chen Xiaodong both appeared in the second half of the first episode.

Even supporting characters like Yuan Hua and Tian Hao appeared in the first episode, and there were still a lot of scenes.

Anyway, after watching the first two episodes, most of the villains and decent characters are already there.

Only Ding Xiu was missing.

"It shouldn't be the case." Ding Xiu said, "They spent so much money on adding scenes for me and then deleted them in the end. Isn't this a contradiction in terms?"

"My scenes were added some time after I joined the cast. The previous scenes were all shot according to the original script. It will be fine after the fourth episode."

"That's it, I understand. I'm sorry, Brother Xiu, I misunderstood you."

"It's okay, I'm not a petty person."

Qin Lan breathed a sigh of relief. It was just because he was careless. He only watched two episodes before asking on the phone. Fortunately, Ding Xiu wasn't angry.

"It's too troublesome to wait for the show to air every day. Come over here in the evening and I will personally explain the plot to you."

Ding Xiu's voice came from the other side of the phone.

Qin Lan: "..."

As Ding Xiu said, the Seven Nights Saint Lord appeared in the fourth episode.

When Nie Xiaoqian was about to die in the hands of the old demon Heishan, a sword light broke Heishan's attack.

In the distance, black clouds cover the moon, and evil spirits surge into the sky.

In the BGM, the Seven Nights Holy Lord rides a tall horse and runs out of the darkness, followed by a group of horses from the Demon Palace.

The camera zoomed in, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a cold face, long shawl hair slightly curly, wearing a black cloak, and a simple long sword slung around his waist.

Before he could speak, the horse boy behind him shouted to the arrogant Black Mountain Old Demon: "Black Mountain Old Demon, why don't you kneel down quickly before the Seven Nights Saint Lord of the Yin Yue Dynasty comes."

"Hahaha, just because of you, I have never even knelt down before your father Liu Dao."

…

"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Today the dynasty has changed. If you don't look back, don't blame me for being ruthless in drawing my sword."

"Sword-cutting technique, boy, don't show off in front of me. Your father's six-level magic technique, which took hundreds of years to be mastered, can you, a little demon with little skill, master it?"

"Let me say this for the last time, will you let me go or not?"

"Don't let go!"

Under the moonlight, Saint Lord Qiye lowered his eyebrows, his eyes became cold, and he slowly placed one hand on the hilt of the Yixi Demon Sword at his waist.

The next second, a dazzling sword light emitted.

BGM sounds!

Qiye flew up from his horse, Zhan Tian drew his sword and slashed at the old Black Mountain demon.

"ah!"

With just one strike of the sword, the demon giant who was unable to resist Nie Xiaoqian and the others was killed, and his body was torn apart.

Yixi returned to her sheath, and Qiye's figure slowly fell from the sky, riding intact on the horse.

His eyes were still extremely cold, as if he was just killing an ant.

In the fourth episode, the Seven Nights Saint only appears at the end of the film, and his appearance time is no more than two minutes, and he draws a sword throughout.

But just with this sword, this character became popular.

The ratings of A Chinese Ghost Story have reached its peak, and the topic discussion has increased sharply.

"Did you watch last night's A Chinese Ghost Story? The Holy Lord of Seven Nights is so awesome."

"He's also very handsome. That instant noodle head is something that few people in the entire entertainment industry can control."

"Take advantage of my sword-cutting technique!"

"The Qiye Sage is full of character, and he instantly beats the Black Mountain Demon in seconds. It's so cool."

"People who are cruel don't talk much. This is much better than Ning Caichen who bullies Lai Lai."

"Who played this role?"

"I saw Ning Caichen making me vomit before, but now I have a handsome guy who is more eye-catching. I really like him."

How popular is A Chinese Ghost Story when it airs?

Ding Xiu had to wear a mask when he went out for a run in the morning, otherwise there would be a crowd of people watching, all asking for autographs and photos.

Media outlets approached him one after another for interviews, and brokerage companies offered high prices to poach him.

Qin Gang was socializing every day, and they were all looking for Ding Xiu to shoot commercials and movies.

…

With two episodes every day, the TV series "A Chinese Ghost Story" has been airing for more than half a month, and the plot has reached the second half.

There are more and more scenes of Qiye Shengjun, and his character is becoming more and more stable.

Infatuated, righteous, intelligent, strong in martial arts, handsome, and not sloppy in doing things.

More and more audiences like this character.

On the contrary, the male and female protagonists were scolded more harshly and their characters were not likable.

First of all, there are various works of the heroine. The Seven Nights Sage is very kind to Nie Xiaoqian, but she plays a petty temper again and again, causing countless troubles.

She is also particularly the Virgin, who speaks of righteousness when she opens her mouth and loves when she closes her mouth. The audience wants to strangle her to death.

Let’s talk about Ning Caichen. He has no strength and can’t defeat a little monster. However, he still likes to join in the fun and does everything at once.

When he is in danger, he is helpless and refuses to leave even if he is told to leave.

They were beaten to the point of vomiting blood in order to save him. Fortunately, he ran away and came back. The key was that he had no use for warmth, so he was killed by force.

Weak, irritable, a drag, and unable to do anything, this is the label that the audience gave to the male lead Ning Caichen.

Fortunately, in the later period, his scenes became less and less, and Qiye's scenes became more and more, so the audience felt better.

…

Two days later, the plot came to an end, and the affectionate Qiye finally got his wish and got married to Nie Xiaoqian.

Many people came to drink the wedding wine, including Sima Sanniang, Yan Chixia, Zhuge Liuyun, Xuanxin Zhengzong after the reconciliation, biological brother Ning Caichen, biological mother Ningmu, everyone in the Demon Palace, etc.

It can be said that this day is the happiest day of Qiye. He managed to turn good and evil into enemies.

He also married his most beloved woman.

Sitting on the high hall was his biological mother, surrounded by friends.

The whole family is happy and happy.

The audience who saw this were all happy for Qiye.

"The clouds that have been kept open and the moon is shining brightly, and I wish you blessings for seven nights."

"God still favors lovers, congratulations Qiye."

"What a joke on the part of the director. He hid the protagonist for so long before releasing it. At first, I thought Ning Caichen was the protagonist."

"Qiye is the first male, Zhuge Liuyun is the second male, and Ning Caichen is the third male. The identification is complete."

"Don't be too happy too early. It's only the thirty-fourth episode and there are still six episodes left. It can't be the finale. According to the screenwriter, there may be a twist."

…

"No, the wine is poisonous!"

"kill!"

"don't want!"

"Mother!"

Episode 35: At the wedding, Xuan Xin’s authentic golden light was poisoned in the wine, and all the people in the Demon Palace were killed.

Qiye's biological mother was killed, and her body was hung on the city wall. Qiye stepped forward to rescue her, triggering the spell, and the body was blown to pieces.

The disheartened Qiye decided to reenter the demonic path for revenge. To enter the demonic path, he had to cut off his seven emotions and six desires and kill all his loved ones.

With tears in his eyes, the first person he killed was his godmother Sima Sanniang, whom he had not yet recognized.

The second person killed was his newly married wife Nie Xiaoqian.

After killing the people, Qiye looked up to the sky and laughed. Tears could not stop flowing from the corners of his eyes: "I have become a demon, but my heart hurts so much. It hurts so much."

It is worth mentioning that the two people who were killed did not blame him until their death, but just hoped that he could turn around and make peace.

This scene made the audience burst into tears.

"Who is this fucking screenwriter? Come out and get beaten."

"I cried through a pack of tissues today."

"Sanniang is dead, I feel so sad."

"I have pity on Brother Qiye, this drama really tortured me."

"Jinguang really deserves to die."

"Qiye is so pitiful."

According to statistics, as long as there is a scene with the Seven Nights Saint, the ratings will soar that day. If the Seven Nights Saint doesn't come, the ratings will drop.

Amidst such ups and downs, Qiye once again became a monster and broke the ratings.

Ding Xiu has become a household name, and almost all young people who like to watch TV know about him.

A Chinese Ghost Story brings ten times more popularity than winning the Best Actor Award at Cannes Un Certain Regard.

After A Chinese Ghost Story aired, Ding Xiu accepted commercials and acted in commercials.

In just over a month, all the mortgages worth hundreds of thousands were cleared.

…

"Old Qin, do you still have work? I want to pick up the car recently."

Arriving at Qin Chao Entertainment, Ding Xiu sat in front of Qin Gang and asked with his legs crossed.

All the money I earned in the past month has been used to pay off the mortgage, and there is not much left on hand.

Looking at the scooter in the garage every day, he almost shed tears.

No matter what, he has to buy a car worth hundreds of thousands to fit his status. It will be convenient for him to go out and take girls with him in the future.

Riding a scooter, there is no shelter from the wind and rain, and it is said to be shabby.

"Yes, there are. They are all those with little money. Those with more money have all been accepted." Qin Gang took out his car key and slapped it on the table: "If you want to drive, just drive mine."

Thinking of something, he took the car keys back and said, "I remember you don't have a driver's license. It's better not to drive, for safety's sake."

Ding Xiu didn't even look at the car keys, and he looked down on Santana.

"It's better to have less money than nothing."

"Don't, we can't make do with this. We just let it go before. Now you are a person with worth and market. Once you accept these advertisements at a low price, other merchants will lower our prices next time."

Ding Xiu frowned: "What should we do? There are not many big orders in a year."

He knew what Qin Gang meant, just like in the club, it used to cost five hundred yuan a night.

Later, I will accept it for money, and when you have enough money and calm down, you can open another one for five hundred and the customers will stop doing it.

Qin Gang explained patiently: "That's why we need to film. When our reputation increases, big orders will come."

"Is there any good script?"

Ding Xiu prefers filming to filming commercials. The crew is relatively simple and there are not so many worries.

There are people taking care of food, drink, and toilet, which is quite comfortable.

"Yes, of course." Opening the drawer, Qin Gang took out a piece of information: "Jin Yong's drama, Tianlong Babu, internal information, the preliminary preparations are already in progress, only casting is left."

"Take a look at what role you want to try, and leave it to me to discuss it."

Ding Xiu flipped through the information carefully and smiled when he saw that the producer was Zhang Jizhong and the martial arts instructor Yuan Bing.

"Old Qin, you are not kind, why do you need to talk about this?"

He has the phone numbers of the two of them, so he can just call them. If he is interested, he will go over to try out the scene. If not, there is no need to make a blind trip.

Qin Gang was not embarrassed at all: "You are a celebrity on the stage. You can talk about art with others, but the price will drop when you talk about money."

"Professional things are done by professional people, ensuring that we strive for your best interests."

Putting down Erlang's legs, Ding Xiu said: "Okay, I'll take the information back and look at it. I'll give you a call after I decide who to play."

"Look carefully. It's best to talk to Yuan Bing and ask him what he thinks."

"I'm not stupid."

Taking the information, Ding Xiu went out.

Although he could do the work himself this time, he still didn't take Qin Gang's job.

After he has been in this circle for a long time and knows more people, there will probably be many more things like this.

He eats the meat, but leaves some soup for others. They can't make a penny, so the gang will break up sooner or later.

And the reason why he wanted to say it out loud was to tell Qin Gang that only if I make money can you make money.

When he came downstairs, Ding Xiu saw Qin Lan with his hands in his pockets and stomping his feet from the cold.

"Brother Xiu." Qin Lan took a few steps forward and held Ding Xiu's arm: "Where have you been during this time? I can't find you."

"Took on some commercial performances."

"You make a lot of money, right?"

"It's okay. I just paid off the mortgage."

Ding Xiu did not hide his income. He knew that the more he earned and the more capable he was, the happier Qin Lan would be and the more he would like him.

Qin Lan opened her mouth in an O shape. She knew the exact amount of Ding Xiu's mortgage loan. It was hundreds of thousands. She didn't expect that it would be cleared in one go.

"So much, then you have to treat me to a good meal."

Putting his arms around her waist, Ding Xiu said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of myself."

…

Winter in Peiping is very cold, and many people don’t want to get up early in the morning.

The same goes for Ding Xiu and Qin Lan.

With his head resting on his strong arms, Qin Lan stared at his big watery eyes and said:

"Brother Xiu, if you try out Tian Long Ba Bu, can you take me with you?"

"Not full yet?"

"Hate, I mean give me a corner."

"I haven't even auditioned yet, so how can I lead you?"

"So I said if."

"Okay, I'll ask when the time comes."

What Qin Lan wants is a corner, and there is no such vacant corner on the crew.

Yesterday, he read the information about Tian Long Ba Parts, with a total investment of 35 million, which is considered a top-notch production in TV series.

Jin Yong + Zhang Jizhong, it is no surprise that it is another hit movie, whoever plays it will be popular.

Every time a character is introduced, there will be people vying for his head. If he wants to help Qin Lan get the role, he must get some favors.

But when it comes to picking up girls, there is no such thing as a free hand.

If there is a chance, Ding Xiu would still be willing to help.

Don't wait. I went to bed at five o'clock last night. I just couldn't stand it anymore. See you tomorrow.
