This actor needs more money

The controversy over the changes to the ending of Tian Long Ba Part did not last long.

After the finale, Mr. Jin immediately released the latest revised version of Tian Long Ba Bu.

In this version of the finale, Wang Yuyan gave Murong Fu.

As if to compensate, Xiaolei, Princess Yinchuan's maid, and the plum orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum beside Xu Zhu were given to Duan Yu.

Everyone is happy.

For the next period of time, Ding Xiu was busy with business performances, Wang Baoqiang put on a brand new suit and went to Wan Province, and Huang Bo was about to start school and was busy earning living expenses.

Qin Lan successfully auditioned for the role of Yue Yinping in I Have a Date with a Zombie and has already joined the cast.

Gao Yuanyuan had a few days of free time after the New Year. Ding Xiu was busy at the time and had no time to accompany her. Later, she also joined a new group.

At the entrance of Qin Chao Entertainment, a silver Audi A6 stopped.

As soon as Ding Xiu got out of the car, someone ran out to pick up the keys and help him park the car.

Go straight to Qin Gang's office on the second floor.

"Baoqiang is here too."

Ding Xiu was not surprised at all when he opened the door and saw Wang Baoqiang.

The Golden Horse Awards are over, and Wang Baoqiang won the Best Newcomer.

It would be abnormal if Qin Gang didn't talk to him.

"Brother Qin has something to do with me. We've almost finished talking. Brother, please take your time and talk while I leave first."

Wang Baoqiang smiled and did not forget to close the door gently before leaving.

Ding Xiu sat down, crossed his legs and said, "What did you tell him to make him so happy?"

"I increased my basic salary, negotiated two dramas, and gave him what he deserves."

"Is there a basic salary? Why didn't I know?" Ding Xiu put down his legs and asked solemnly.

Qin Gang laughed dryly: "Don't join in the fun. The basic salary is for newcomers. It's a few hundred yuan a month, which is not enough for a meal."

New artists can't get jobs, so it's impossible to let them starve to death.

The basic salary of several hundred yuan per month is the company's care for them and a living guarantee.

Wang Baoqiang had some before, but not much. This time he doubled the amount.

The second step was to increase the basic salary. The main reason was to get him two dramas, both of which were supporting roles.

It's different for those who have won awards. When the name of Best Newcomer at the Golden Horse Awards was announced, they agreed without much thought.

"Contract, script."

Seeing that he had nothing to do, Ding Xiu directly talked about business.

Qin Gang had been telling him about the Lotus Lantern play for several days, but he had been busy with the business and didn't have time to come over to sign the contract, and he didn't read the script.

"It has been prepared for you a long time ago."

A contract and a script were placed in front of Ding Xiu by Qin Gang.

After signing and fingerprinting, Ding Xiu picked up the script and left, planning to go back and read it again.

"Wait a minute." Qin Gang stopped him: "Don't worry, Xiaolan is not here, why are you in a hurry to go back?"

"Anything else?"

Ding Xiu was indeed not in a hurry, but he seemed to have nothing to talk about with Qin Gang, a big man, so he might as well go back and watch a movie.

"have."

Qin Gang smiled and said: "Zhou Xingchi wants to invite you to guest star in two fighting scenes in his movie."

Ding Xiu's heart was moved, Zhou Xingchi's name was known to everyone.

It has always been the annual box office champion in Hong Kong Island and has too many representative works, such as Tang Bohu Lights Up Autumn Fragrance, Playing Back to School, Weilong, Westward Journey, Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier, Shaolin Football... too many to count.

He has never won the Best Actor because his nonsensical performance style is not recognized by the mainstream, but in the hearts of the audience, he is much better than the Best Actor.

There is a saying that goes like this, one actor a year, Zhou Xingchi for a hundred years.

It means that there are movie kings every year, but Zhou Xingchi only produces one every hundred years.

When they first bought the TV, he and Wang Baoqiang watched his discs a lot.

"How many days are you going to go?"

Rarely, Ding Xiu didn't ask how much it cost, but the time.

"I don't know about that. I just told you to try it first. If it doesn't work, you may have to come back the same day."

"But I guess even if I try it, it won't take long. It's just two scenes. It'll be quick."

"Where is the location?"

"Magic City Film and Television Park."

"You book a flight."

…

On the plane heading to the Magic City, Ding Xiu flipped through the Lotus Lantern script.

Agarwood split the mountain to save her mother.

This is a myth that has been circulating for a long time. It existed during the Northern Song Dynasty. Ding Xiu heard it sung by an opera troupe as early as the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to him as Erlang Shen, mythical characters such as Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong will also appear in the play.

Overall the story is much richer than the original.

Because the original version is short, only a few hundred words, and the characters are not deep.

It took Ding Xiu half an hour to read the script in his hand. The reason why he read it so quickly was because there was no complete script and he only got a part of it.

It stands to reason that after signing the contract, there will be a complete script, but not.

I called Zhao Jian to ask for it, but Zhao Jian said there was no rush and he would wait until he joined the group.

Directors are not in a hurry, and he is even less anxious as an actor.

At the Shanghai Airport, Ding Xiu pressed his hat and walked out along with the crowd.

He arrived in a hurry, and no fans picked him up this time, and no one gathered around to watch him.

Kung Fu had been filming for a while, so he took a taxi directly to the set.

The first one to arrive was Longchang Road. The crew set up a cordon to prevent outsiders from approaching. Ding Xiu made a phone call, and soon the staff came out to lead him in.

There is a small square downstairs in an old apartment from the 1920s and 1930s. There are hundreds of people standing there, some are actors and some are staff.

Before he even got close to Ding Xiu, he heard Zhou Xingchi cursing.

The person being scolded remained silent and looked ugly.

It wasn't until the staff member said a few words in Zhou Xingchi's ear that he stopped and turned to look at Ding Xiu.

"Take him to change clothes."

In the dressing room, Ding Xiu put on the black gown and cloth shoes from the Republic of China period, and the makeup artist put foundation on his face to make his face paler.

"Beauty, your director has a bit of a temper."

With nothing to do, Ding Xiu chatted with the makeup artist.

"Oh." The makeup artist sighed heavily, and after holding it in for a long time, he said, "You'll get used to it."

Director Zhou is famous for his weird temper and demanding requirements. Among the artists he has worked with, only Wu Mengda has never been scolded.

But if you behave well and meet his standards, he will become approachable.

But generally few people can meet his standards.

Because his standard is to first act out the role you want to play, and ask you to act exactly like him.

Acting exactly like Zhou Xingchi is easier said than done. Not many people in the film and television industry can do this.

Therefore, NG has become the norm. If the number of NGs is too many, the director will scold the person.

Because he thinks that I have already performed it for you, so you can just follow it. It is such an easy thing, why do you get NGed so many times?

After a while, Ding Xiu walked out of the dressing room.

A black top hat was put on his head to cover his forehead, and on the bridge of his nose was a pair of round sunglasses.

There is also a mustache on his lips.

It was cold, so Ding Xiu put his hands into his loose sleeves and walked up to Zhou Xingchi step by step with his hands linked.

Neither of them spoke.

After looking at him for a few times, Zhou Xingchi said: "I heard that you are very good at fighting?"

Ding Xiu gently pushed his sunglasses with his slender white fingers and said, "It's okay."

Zhou Xingchi smiled: "He looks a bit like a martial arts master."

"Let's go practice routines with Master Ba first, and we'll start filming in the evening."

PS: I have a cold and feel unwell, so that’s it for today. I wish everyone a happy National Day holiday.
