This actor needs more money

Chapter 122 Corporate Reform

Ding Xiu got out of the car at the entrance of Qin Chao Entertainment.

He still had to go through the necessary procedures. After returning from his work abroad, he had to go back to the company to sign, so that Qin Gang would give him the money for commercial performances and advertisements.

As he moved to the top of the industry, Ding Xiu found that his vision had become narrower before, and he always wanted to take roles that paid more.

In fact, as long as you are not a first-line artist, the bulk of your income must come from commercial performances and advertising.

A movie costs two to three hundred yuan, and it takes several months to shoot on set.

Business performances are different. A casual performance can cost tens of thousands, and it doesn’t take half a day’s work. The money comes in very quickly.

Not to mention advertising, the money comes in very quickly. The largest advertising endorsement fee Ding Xiu received was 150,000 yuan. Including the round trip, it only took two days.

"Brother Xiu."

"Brother Xiu."

"Brother Xiu."

When Ding Xiu entered the company, the artists he saw along the way greeted him one by one, and some even bowed.

With a smile on his face, Ding Xiu nodded in response to them.

He has become accustomed to this situation. The more popular he becomes, the more people please him. In the past, when filming, he would encounter people who collected protection money, but now he is surrounded by all good people.

Watching Ding Xiu walking up to the second floor, the newlyweds whispered.

"Wow, he's so cold and handsome. I like him so much."

"Stop your slobbering. Why does Brother Xiu like you? He is the number one brother in the company."

"Brother Xiu's face makes me jealous even as a man."

"I have a car, a house, and endless announcements. It will be great if I can be like Brother Xiu."

"Tuk-tuk-tuk!"

"Enter!"

When he heard the knock on the door, Qin Gang, who was working in front of the computer, didn't even raise his head and replied with a strong voice.

After a few seconds, the person didn't say anything. He looked up and saw Ding Xiu sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.

"Brother Xiu, I'm not used to being so polite all of a sudden."

"What are you talking about?" Ding Xiu pulled the collar of his expensive suit, opened his arms and leaned on the shoulders of the sofa: "I am also a successful person now, okay?"

Qin Gang looked at him carefully. He was meticulous and handsome in a brand-name suit.

It was different from the first time I met Ding Xiu, who was sharp and unruly when he was killing people on the set.

After he became rich, he became more elegant and easy-going. His smile made people feel like spring breeze. No one would put him together with the person who knocked out the Sanda boxing champion with one move.

"It definitely tastes like that."

After getting up, Qin Gang made tea for Ding Xiu. He grabbed a handful of tea leaves from the cabinet and threw them into the teapot, and poured some hot water from the water dispenser.

Little did Lao Qin know, he felt that Ding Xiu's temperament had changed a lot, and Ding Xiu was even more surprised by his changes.

In the past, Qin Gang had a sweet heart, a chain around his neck, short stature, and dark skin. His appearance was not much better than that of a local ruffian.

Now he has gotten rid of his peach haircut and has a crew cut. He has long since stopped wearing chains. When seen all year round, he is always wearing a business suit or a white shirt.

With so many people under his control and so much revenue every year, Lao Qin now speaks very forcefully, with a vague air of being unbridled and unquestionable.

While he was busy, Ding Xiu said: "Why are there so many people downstairs? Is there a meeting today?"

The hall is full of company artists, some are old faces, some are new faces, there are probably about thirty people in total.

"Instead of a meeting, I hired a teacher with a background in acting and asked them to come over for training. They are just wild people. If they don't learn some acting experience, they will never get ahead."

After the tea was brewed, Qin Gang put it on the shoulder of the sofa with a tea tray, then sat next to Ding Xiu and made him a cup.

"The previous management method was unprofessional. When there was time, they went to work, but when there was no time, they stayed at home to sleep, eat, drink and have fun. This was not okay."

"I have terminated the contracts of those bastards who are not enterprising. From now on, new recruits will first attend two months of actor training classes."

"Those who fail to meet the performance standards within six months after graduating from the training class will be fired. We don't want to be left to die."

Qin Gang has long had the idea to rectify the company. When the company was founded, he picked up many artists from the gate of Beijing Film Studio. There were also some like Qin Lan who had a good image but no acting experience.

As time goes by, both have serious problems. The former is unorganized and undisciplined. Smoking, drinking, playing cards and gambling are common occurrences.

When he was not alive, he would lie dead at home, or go clubbing with three or five friends to take pictures of his mother-in-law.

Several times the company received calls from the police station, asking him to pay a fine and get people.

The latter is a handsome man and a beautiful woman, with obvious shortcomings and insufficient acting experience. He received a call from the assistant director more than once, saying that the artists who played special roles in the past basically didn't know how to move. Look at the camera.

After all this, Qin Gang decided to follow TVB's example and open an actor training class within the company. It not only improved the performance of newcomers, but also taught them some social etiquette and legal knowledge.

In addition, he also set a few rules, such as not smoking, drinking, and swearing in public places, and if the PC gets caught in a fight, get out, etc.

Ding Xiu took a sip of tea and said, "Old Qin, I think you are teasing me."

Qin Gang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm not talking about you. You have to have the money to play. I often tell them that as long as they can become as famous as you, sleep at home every day. When you are hungry, I will bring you food. I'm so hard I’ll have no problem delivering my ass to you.”

Seeing Ding Xiu's disgusted expression, Qin Gang changed the subject: "You don't know yet, but the media rated you, Chen Kun, Li Yapeng, and Huang Lei as four niche students."

One wave comes after another, and as soon as the hero's popularity has passed, Si Xiaosheng comes again, and it's hard to even think about becoming popular.

Speaking of this, Qin Gang was filled with emotion. There is an old saying in the entertainment industry that a small celebrity relies on support, and a big celebrity relies on life.

Some people can't get up no matter how much they are praised, while some people can easily reach heights that others cannot reach in their lifetime.

Ding Xiu is like this.

A handsome face, extraordinary kung fu, just these two axes, he is successful.

"I already knew about it on the way here." Ding Xiu raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "What's going on with Zhou Haopeng? You accept everyone."

"Haha, that kid is not an ordinary person. He understands the rules of the game in the industry. He is smart and quick to react. When Hero comes out, I asked him to find a navy to promote you. Guess what?"

"In half a day, he found someone to write a dozen high-quality articles, and then recruited thousands of trolls to promote and forward them on major websites."

"A troll charges 10 cents to repost, which costs tens of thousands of dollars. The publicity effect is extremely good."

"This guy is a talented person. It happens that the company does not have a publicity department. I will recruit him and slowly build a publicity department in the future."

Ding Xiu rubbed his brows and said, "I don't care about the company's affairs. Let me talk about my own affairs. I'm a little tired during this period. I want to take a vacation."

Qin Gang stretched out five fingers: "I'll give you five days."

It had been a long time since he had reminisced with Xiaolan. Ding Xiu took into consideration his own strength and waist strength, and after pondering for a few seconds, he said:

"Five days is enough, at least half a month."

"I don't know about you yet." Qin Gang said hoarsely: "Xiaolan will only stay for five days. Her Princess Return of the Pearl is about to be broadcast, and she will be very busy next time."

Ding Xiu: "..."
