Super star

The modest expression on his face when he went to pick up He Wanglan could be described as wonderful, he never expected that He Wanglan would bring so many "demons and ghosts" out to watch the wind all at once.

Ding Xi, who was filming far away in Amazon, certainly didn't know how lively this year's Halloween was.

Because it was necessary to hurry up and finish filming the exterior part of "Survival in the Wild", the crew used multiple cameras to shoot at the same time, and all the actors and actresses were stressed to the extreme in this environment.

This is a movie whose story is not complicated at all. It relies on fantastic and magnificent imagination, thrilling action scenes and dangerous thrills, but it has a witty line style to win.

Lee played by Ding Xi is the embellishment of the humorous part of this movie. He has to maintain a high degree of "liveliness" almost throughout the movie, no matter how dangerous the situation is.

Shooting action scenes is not the same as the ease seen in movies. Often an action scene of just a few minutes may take several days to shoot with a harsh director, and it will make people vomit blood. Hard work makes martial arts doubles indispensable in this circle.

Director Osmond doesn't like to use doubles. He not only doesn't like to use doubles, but he is also very harsh, so these ten or so young people are miserable. Fortunately, everyone has undergone some basic training before accepting the film. Only then can it be regarded as a smooth filming, even so, in the past half a month, many people have lost a lot of weight.

At times like this, it especially reflects the benefits of Ding Xi's exceptionally smooth shooting of action scenes. When it comes to his part, the photographers have to breathe a sigh of relief, let alone the martial arts guidance team, even playing against him Everything seemed extremely relaxed, but it didn't mean that Ding Xi was perfect enough to understand everything.

"This, is that so?" Ding Xi held a pistol that was almost indistinguishable from a real gun in his hand, and he was really a layman when playing with guns.

A tall white man was wiping his sweat while explaining carefully to Ding Xi. Ding Xi listened carefully with a grass stalk in his mouth, and soon he disassembled it and it looked like it.

The technical director brought various guns and ammunition to Ding Xi by the way. Ding Xi nodded, and soon came to the part where he was required to play. He was the only one who could really walk like flying in the jungle with ease, even if it was Charlie. With an acting school like Si, the environment interfered a lot with him for a while.

Everyone was under a lot of pressure when filming, so Ding Xi was not surprised when he came out of the lounge one time and heard the suppressed panting and "popping" sound not far away with his sensitive ears. You can tell that one of them is Jeffrey who challenged him at the beginning, and the other one is also one of the young actors in the crew, Ban Rui who stood beside Jeffrey that day.

Foreign countries have always been much more open in this regard than domestic ones. Even when they usually look at Jeffrey, they definitely don’t have that kind of relationship. It’s just a way of venting under pressure. There are no leading actresses here, not even supporting roles. As for the staff, it’s not that they don’t get along with the actors, but most of them separate work from private life, and this kind of high-intensity work, women There are not many staff members. In fact, Ding Xi has received hints more than once, but even in such an environment, Ding Xi still has his own principles——

Not to mention such a little pressure, it was really nothing to him.

Until two months later, Director Osmond let everyone go back for Christmas and gave them a five-day holiday. Almost everyone, as if they were pardoned, ran away without a trace.

Ding Xi couldn't run away, he needed to follow Director Osmond to the premiere of "The Blue Star Man".

The movie "Blue Star Man" can be regarded as Ding Xi's Hollywood debut

The first major work, with his age and qualifications, this is basically impossible, let alone his nationality and race, there has never been such a precedent in Hollywood, even if there are a few who can carry it in Hollywood. The Chinese stars who start the box office, not to mention martial arts stars themselves, also need to have a solid accumulation to achieve this step.

It can be said that Ding Xi found another way.

However, if there is no amazing supporting role in "Ice Fire and Dragon Spear", and there is no topic that made Ding Xi laugh and cry but attracted the attention of the whole United States, Ding Xi would not be able to take this role, even though "Blue Star Man" is not one. A movie that needs to use the protagonist to hit the box office.

"Blue Star Man" has some action scenes. As the leading actor, Ding Xi's role in this movie is self-evident, but in fact, compared with other movies, the leading role of this movie is not so important. This is a movie that uses the protagonist to connect many stories. Ding Xi, as an alien male protagonist, looks at the earth in this era more through him, through a special perspective of a bystander, and sees the earth on the earth. What happened, to tell the truth of human nature, and use a kind of witty humor to satirize the ugly phenomenon with distinctive characteristics of the times.

If it's a movie that completely needs a leading actor, it's not Ding Xi's turn to play the leading role.

But no matter what, he is still the out-and-out male number one in this Hollywood blockbuster. Even if it can be shortlisted for the Oscar Golden Oak Award because of the special nature of this movie, it will only be the best director, best screenwriter and so on. , but has nothing to do with the lead actor.

Red carpet, flowers, flashing lights, handsome men and beautiful women, surrounded by movie fans, screaming and cheering, Ding Xi's heart didn't calm down until the beautiful opening music played while sitting in the cinema.

Whether it's praise, praise, or the grand and gorgeous party after the premiere, which was lively and flashy, Ding Xi leaned on the cold corner of the balcony, only thinking about that Christmas last year.

"Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas!"

Here He Wanglan hung up the phone, raised her eyebrows and looked at the humility who was still staring at him, "Why, envy, jealousy, you can also go and spend Christmas with your little priest."

He sneered humbly, "I haven't said how much trouble you have caused me!"

"It's something you have to get used to anyway."

"Get used to—what? What did you just say?" Xu Xin almost thought that he heard it wrong.

He Wanglan casually opened the proposal in his hand, "As a legitimate employee of Ding Xi's personal studio, when our boss Ding Xi is filming abroad, in other words, when his work focus is on a place like Hollywood At that time, all our staff members had been working in the country for a long time, isn’t it too wrong?”

Humbly stunned, "You mean?"

"I mean, being a monster also has the right to be a monster." He Wanglan's face was serious, "We didn't kill anyone or set fire to it. We went abroad for work in a serious way. What's the problem?"

Humbly: "..."

I was so confused, what kind of troublesome creature did I introduce to Guoan!

He Wanglan laughed, very gentle, "Of course, if there is any trouble in Guoan, we can also solve it conveniently, and let everyone register with Guoan, they still don't mind."

Humbly stunned for a moment, "You mean..." You know, the people on He Wanglan's side are all big monsters.

Hearing this, he was already a little bit excited, this may not work, right?

In the United States before, although these big monsters caused him some trouble, it was inevitable to apologize, but they also raised the country's prestige. Quite a lot.

These are all things that cannot be put on the table. Although some people are offended, they are not good at asking for explanations openly, and they are not the kind of pedantic and timid people with humility.

So the two discussed this all afternoon. After haggling over the price, at least they settled on it. There were three chapters in the agreement and the terms of cooperation. He Wanglan's old acquaintance Yang Liuyu was appointed as a contact person, and the matter was completely agreed to end.

Ding Xi's personal studio officially started operation on the day of Ding Xi's [-]th birthday, and at this time, it happened to be the period when "Laughing Jianghu" was just released after the Spring Festival.

Standing at the airport pick-up gate, He Wanglan looked at Ding Xi who was coming from a distance, wearing a light gray sweater, black slacks, and a long plaid jacket, with a smile on his face, still looking relaxed and relaxed.

He is already a young man, such a handsome and slender young man with broad shoulders and narrow waist, no matter his footsteps, figure, demeanor or smile, he has just the right amount of pleasant indifference.

This is his Ding Xi.

He Wanglan went up to meet her——

This is his lover.

**

"The winner of this year's Hong Kong Golden Oak Awards for Best Actor is Ding Xi! "Laughing Jianghu"!

......"

Enthusiastic applause, bright words and lights, all of a sudden fell on the young man in a steady suit.

This is an unprecedented honor.

"...

The winner of this year's Golden Lion Award for Best Supporting Actor is Ding Xi...

……

......"

"Crack!" Ding Xi turned off the screen, "How many times do you want to watch it?" Playing the one with a high degree of shame here in a loop, okay?

This is his personal studio, and there is a large embedded LCD screen in the hall, but clips of his award-winning scenes are played here all the time. No matter how many times he watches it, Ding Xi feels a little embarrassed.

He Wanglan laughed, "All ready?"

"Well, things are almost packed, is it tomorrow's plane?"

He Wanglan nodded, and looked at Ding Xi who had a relaxed posture.

This year, he is 22 years old, and in a few months, he will be 23 years old.

In the domestic show business circle, he is no longer the youngest group. There will never be a shortage of young fresh meat in this circle. Even the child stars who played "North and North" together back then have matured It's gorgeous.

But among those young actors back then, Ding Xi was naturally the one who did the best job.

A young man in his twenties is at the best age in his life. He can't see the glitz of the young people in this circle. On the contrary, he has a kind of calmness that doesn't match his age, which makes him sculpted by time and the environment. His eighty-nine-point appearance is abruptly raised to more than ten points. If he is standing in the crowd, he must be the center of people's eyes, because even if this person is a back view, he has an extraordinary elegance and leisure.

Speaking of it, Ding Xi seems to have become more and more low-key in the past two years. Even though more and more auras have been put on him, and he has won several trophies, it is obviously easy whether he is filming in China or continuing his career in Hollywood. It's a hot topic, but he never seems to care about these things. It's just that no one in the industry dares to underestimate this young man. If it's not because he is too young, in the circle, in terms of seniority, he would like to be honored by many people. Say "teacher".

This time, Ding Xi's new film is another Hollywood commercial blockbuster. In this regard, he has never been a high-minded person. There are always some good actors in the circle who sneer at commercial blockbusters. A literary film that can highlight their acting skills——

But Ding Xi no longer needed these things to prove his acting skills. His acting skills had already been recognized a few years ago.

He only shoots the movies he likes, the characters he is interested in, or, for directors he is familiar with.

This time he took this movie because he was interested in this role.

Because he is a Chinese, his acting career in Hollywood has not been considered very wide. The "hero aura" added to him a few years ago has gradually receded, but because he has played many well-known roles, he has his own. His stable status and frequent appearances on the big screens in North America have also made many people not regard him as a foreign actor. However, that's all. In this circle, such things as racial discrimination are never uncommon. Ding Xi's success at the beginning does not mean that it will continue to be so smooth in the future.

Fortunately, because of his special status... the staff in his studio are special... so, his treatment is different from other artists who went to the United States to film. , the attitude towards Ding Xi needs to be improved, even if there are people who don't like the Chinese, they have to restrain themselves a lot.

This time they flew to Los Angeles in the business class they booked. Ding Xi’s personal studio has always been well-received. Li Jin, who is temporarily acting as an assistant, also wants to follow, and Kong Ling, who is temporarily acting as a make-up artist——

It's not that the studio is short-staffed, but it's just that Ding Xi is in charge of it alone. He is notorious for having few commercial activities, and he doesn't like hype. What the PR team needs to do, He Wanglan can... get it done by himself, so it's true. They don't need too many people. The few He Wanglan finds out are almost all generalists. They have two brushes in everything, so the problem of job position confusion often occurs. For themselves, this is not a problem, because they have everything. capable.

"Today I just went to the crew to report a report, and then I will fly directly to Las Vegas. Most of the scenes will be filmed there." He Wanglan said, opening the notebook at hand. He is still used to handwriting some important itineraries or summaries of Xi, and Ding Xi still finds the beautiful pen writing very pleasing no matter how many times he reads it.

Nodding, he continued to ponder the script in his hand.

For Hollywood commercial films, titles often don’t need to be overly subtle, especially for this kind of hero blockbuster, the simple two words "Transformation". Simply put, this superhero has the ability to transform a part of his body to have certain characteristics of an animal. Superpowers, such as turning a hand into a claw, with invincible attack power, or turning eyes into cat's eyes, which can have night vision, or having a pair of cute dog ears, his hearing will be greatly enhanced .

Of course, this depends on the current excellent special effects makeup and post-production skills to make all this real.

However, it is the male protagonist who has the ability to transform, and all of this has nothing to do with Ding Xi. He plays the second male lead, or in other words... the villain boss.

The ability possessed by the protagonist is transformation, so what about the ability possessed by the villain?Reluctance has something to do with metamorphosis. Well, he is a patient with multiple personalities, so this is a new challenge for Ding Xi. This is not a dual personality, but multiple personalities. "Transformation" is also planned to be made into a series The movie, although it is still a plan, to watch

The box office of the first film will decide the follow-up, but to be on the safe side, no matter whether it is the contract for the actor or Ding Xi, they signed three films in one go. In the first film, Gray played by Ding Xi There are only three personalities, and then slowly develop, and in the third part, his character has seven personalities!

...Is this trying to collect seven flowers on one vine...

"Hey, your school's application has been approved." He Wanglan said suddenly.

Ding Xi immediately put down the script, "So fast?"

He Wanglan laughed, "Are you considered a celebrity in North America now?" At least no one would know him when he ran on the street. In fact, Ding Xi's aura is too strong, and some celebrities are very noticeable on the screen. In reality, he may not have such an aura, but Ding Xi is just the opposite. In reality, his aura is several grades stronger than it appears on the screen, so even in North America, if he just runs out like this, chasing him The signature is really not one or two.

It can be seen that the past few years have been steady and steady. Although he is not an overnight celebrity, his popularity is definitely not low.

"But although I'm applying for an art school, I'm not going to study acting." Ding Xi raised his head, "I still know the true standard of the work I sent."

He Wanglan glanced at him, "Too self-effacing, you know, you were taught by Jiang Shi, and the level of professors in these universities is probably far worse than Jiang Shi's."

Ding Xi wished he could roll his eyes, isn't that obvious, those professors have studied painting for at most 35 years, Jiang Shi said at least...a hundred years, this is also the reason why he has been in contact with oil painting for a relatively short time.

"Lao Jiang has already gone to Los Angeles, right?" Kong Ling said suddenly.

He Wanglan nodded, "The school has applied for it. Later, Ding Xi's work focus will also be shifted here. Let him and Hu Li clean up first."

"University of California, Los Angeles, a prestigious school, um, do you want to publish a manuscript to promote it?" Li Jin said with a smile, "At any rate, we, Young Master Ding, passed the application on our own."

Ding Xi just wanted to refuse, but He Wanglan said: "Anyway, we can't hide it. I guess we will be dug out not long after entering school. Why don't we publish the manuscript first."

So, that's how things were settled.

Anyway, Ding Xi discovered that after He Wanglan became his manager full-time, he was so relaxed that he didn't need to worry about everything except eating, drinking, sleeping and filming every day, which was completely different from when Wang Ke was there.

Sometimes he finds it strange that He Wanglan is like a roundworm in his stomach, he knows what he thinks, what he likes and dislikes in this circle, what makes him happy, what makes him hate, this person knows everything It's clear, even his bottom line, this person has accurately grasped it.

...Even the sensitive points of his body, or the bottom line, preferences, and rhythm of the bed, are well grasped, successfully eliminating the last subtle resistance in Ding Xi's heart to find a man as a partner.

Ding Xi had a vague guess in his mind, but He Wanglan didn't ask, so he didn't ask.

No one is more suitable than him to stand by his side, and no one is more suitable than him to accompany him through the remaining years.

Ding Xi is not really a young man in his twenties, he is mature enough, what he longs for more is not a fierce and burning love, but this kind of stable company, a long stream of water, warm and natural, he is also very grateful for He Wanglan and his pursuit of It's the same thing, if you meet a lover who wants romance and passion all day long, it will probably give Ding Xi a headache and get bored very quickly.

Spring and summer are the peak tourist seasons in Las Vegas. After a quick stop in Los Angeles, a few people who flew to Las Vegas quickly checked into the hotel arranged by the crew, but the efficiency of the crew is still very high. After getting off the plane and resting for less than two hours, a show manager came to inform Ding Xi to go to the rented casino to put on makeup and start filming.

Because the director of the show is a young newcomer, she also plays a part in the movie. Although there are no lines, but as a set board, it will appear in the camera for two or three minutes. This can be regarded as the role she has worked hard to win. Now, when I saw Ding Xi, I naturally showed 3% enthusiasm——

Originally, this was an eighteenth-line actor who had just entered the industry.

After Ding Xi passed by, he had to put on makeup and change clothes first, because the makeup had been fixed before, and everything was going well now, but he was a little surprised to be filming this scene at the beginning.

"Metamorphosis"

In the first part, this character has only three personalities, which is not much to say, but it is not an easy task for an actor to play it, especially two of them are actually very similar. It’s not that good. I think it’s easy for the audience to see it as a double personality instead of three. This director Harrison is also a well-known director of commercial films in Hollywood. He knows exactly what kind of rhythm he needs to master. Although the leading actor, Selig Briscoe, is a very popular niche in Hollywood, he has also been very popular in major movies recently, but in terms of acting skills, he can only watch it, and it is not too horrible, but he is not very good. On the contrary, Ding Xi It is a well-recognized acting skill in the circle. Despite this, Harrison still hopes that the leading actors can enter the state smoothly, first easy and then difficult.

Two of Gray's three personalities played by Ding Xi are similar, and the remaining one is very distinctive, even slightly exaggerated. For actors, this is actually easier to interpret, so Harrison gave Ding Xi The first few scenes were all about this kind of personality.

What Harrison didn't know was that, for Ding Xi, he was thinking more about the other two personalities, because the remaining one... the one who survived was the female personality...

Even if it is a woman, it is not a purely feminine personality that is weak and deceitful, but a domineering and fierce Bawanghua attribute. In fact, among the three personalities, it is this kind of personality that is the most aggressive and domineering.

This part of the scene in the casino starts here.

Ding Xi puts on makeup, starting from base makeup to heavy eye makeup. It looks heavy, but after lighting up, it will be much more natural. The long black hair is actually a fake ponytail, but it is made of real hair and well maintained. Pretty good, black leather jacket, leather pants, black boots with heels, plus a long coat that is one size bigger than his body, but the coat is not worn, it is just draped over the shoulders, obviously except for the ponytail There are hardly any feminine features, let alone pretending to be a chest. If you only look at the neck down, it is still more masculine. Although Ding Xi's body has the unique flexibility and thinness of oriental people, it is not slender. The waist line is softer than that of men, and the legs are straighter and slender than ordinary men.

Once this set is up and the makeup is on, Ding Xi adjusts his posture. When he opens his eyes, he is that Gray, the overlord Hua Gray with a feminine personality. If this villain boss lacks this kind of personality, it will undoubtedly become much paler.

"Give me a bottle of water." Ding Xi stretched out his hand and said to the assistant behind him.

At that moment, the laziness in the corners of his eyes, his deep voice, his movements, and even his slender fingers and thin fingertips all revealed a graceful magnificence——

He's already in the game.

When he walked out of the dressing room step by step, even Harrison was taken aback, let alone Selig who was standing next to Harrison. Coincidentally, Selig and Ding Xi happened to be the same age. At his age, becoming the darling of Hollywood is something that he is proud of, but before the filming started, the media belittled his acting skills and praised Tracy Ding very highly. It would make Selig so comfortable, but the moment he walked out, Selig almost didn't recognize him.

Obviously they arrived in Las Vegas on the same flight, and they had talked almost three hours ago, but that person and "Grey" standing in front of him are two completely different people, not referring to appearance, but the whole feeling.

Ding Xi's height has already passed the 1.8-meter mark, but in foreign countries, this height is definitely not an advantage. He is wearing boots with heels at the moment, and he is a few centimeters shorter than Selig, but , Such a slight elevation makes him look taller and slender, and it is more in line with the current personality.

"It's all ready!" Director Harrison clapped his hands and asked the assistant director beside him to continue lecturing to Selig. Just as he was about to start, an assistant hurried over and whispered something in his ear.

Ding Xi raised his eyebrows.

Others can't hear clearly, but his hearing is not a problem at all. In the past few years, he has grown more than just his height. The reason why Ding Xi is becoming more gentle and handsome every day is because his inner strength is getting deeper and deeper. The benefits brought, such as a pair of eyes, ordinary people will have a little psychological pressure when they look at him.

"...that person above is not easy to deal with..." the little assistant said awkwardly.

Ding Xi glanced around casually. This casino is rented. The reason why it is so fast is probably because the rent is not cheap. There is only this lobby, the second and third floors above, which are actually still open as usual casinos, because it is a high-end casino, almost all the wealthy customers come and go, if you happen to want to watch Hollywood filming upstairs, it is also a gimmick.

Many Hollywood movies can be filmed in Los Angeles studios, and "Transformation" has sufficient funds, so Director Harrison has the heart to come here for live shooting.

Here comes the problem.

"...The gentleman said that his sister has been a fan of Tracy since "Survival in the Wild"...just went up for a drink, and it is said that...Mr. Radmore can't afford it..."

Director Harrison couldn't help but glance at Ding Xi.

Ding Xi pretended not to see it.

He has already had two movies without FBI agents, because they have been keeping their own place in the past few years, and of course the other party will give face, so they won’t be stared at every time, but in fact, they are in the crew now. In addition to He Wanglan, Jiang Shi and Mu Lan were also present.

"What happened?" Selig walked over and asked in surprise.

So Director Harrison sighed, "Selig, you and Tracy, call Charity and come with me to meet someone. Don't worry, I'm just a friend of the investor. I'll be back when I see you." The head told the assistant director, "Don't waste time when we leave, and shoot some unimportant shots first."

"Director, we're all wearing makeup." Selig was a little reluctant.

Director Harrison patted the assistant on the shoulder, the assistant understood, and after a while called Selig's manager and He Wanglan, and didn't know what the assistant said to them, Ding Xi saw He Wanglan's signal, smiled and walked away Come over, "Okay, where to go?"

What did you say?compromise?

Hehe, stop joking, what He Qiye meant was, don't go too far, just teach me a lesson.

Young Master Ding was very cooperative, so he prepared to go upstairs in a happy mood.

In this circle, it is inevitable to meet such people, whether it is at home or abroad, Ding Xi was fine when he was young, but when he reached this best age and possessed the charming charm of fine wine, this kind of person This kind of trouble can hardly be called a trouble, because it is often encountered, not to mention him, the top domestic stars have it when they can't help themselves.

In the eyes of many people, a celebrity is an idol wearing a halo, but to some rich and powerful people, they may be nothing more than "actors".

It's a pity that if you walk too much at night, you will always hit the iron plate.
