This actor needs more money

Qin Gang chatted with Ding Xiu for a while, knowing that he was busy, so he stopped chatting.

"You're really wrong. I'm here for a visit this time. Negotiating the contract is the way to go."

"And let me tell you something. The post-production and sales of Tianxia No. 1 are completed, and the next step is publicity. You have to be mentally prepared. You may not have much time."

Other managers are very considerate towards artists and do many things themselves.

He can't. In addition to being Ding Xiu's agent, he is also the boss of the company. He is usually very busy and doesn't have that much time.

I haven't even done the simplest visit a few times.

It's not that I haven't thought about changing Ding Xiu's agent, but considering Ding Xiu's temperament, it seems a bit redundant.

This guy is lazy and not very ambitious. He doesn't want to make any money once he has money. He joins the group to film and leaves the group to have fun. His agent is just a middleman who is responsible for promoting dramas and negotiating remuneration.

Ding Xiu still looked lazy: "Understood."

The World's First has only thirty-five episodes. Given the speed of Hong Kong's production team, it is normal for it to take several months to complete post-production.

Produced by Wang Jing, starring Li Yapeng, Ding Xiu, Liu Songren, Guo Jingan, Chen Farong and others, this kind of lineup is easy to sell.

In addition, martial arts movies have nothing to review, unlike gun fight movies, where gangster themes are easily banned.

It’s not surprising at all that it starts airing right after post-production is completed.

Qin Gang opened his mouth, but hesitated: "The producer put Li Yapeng in the first male role, and you are the second male lead."

Looking into the distance, Ding Xiu said nothing.

Qin Gang clenched his fists and said, "Don't be too discouraged. Let's take the second male lead. Next time, let's work hard, know our shame and then be brave, and strive to get the first male lead."

Ding Xiu turned his head and looked at him and said calmly: "Why should I be discouraged? As an actor, I am only responsible for acting. Fighting for the position is the company's business. It is you who should be ashamed."

"Old Qin, know your shame and then be brave. You have to work hard."

The tea was already cold. Ding Xiu took a sip and got up to go filming, leaving Qin Gang messy in the wind.

"That seems to be the truth." After a long time, Qin Gang held back a sentence.

"Mr. Qin, do you want some melon?" Ding Xiu's assistant came over holding a piece of watermelon.

Qin Gang said with a straight face: "Have you any idea? On such a hot day, you don't give Brother Xiu an umbrella to fan himself."

"How can anyone drink a cup of tea if it's hot?"

"If you can do it, do it. If you can't, get out."

The assistant bent down and apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, Brother Xiu didn't ask for it. I thought he didn't need it."

Qin Gang snorted: "You don't even think about it. You just carry your bags, book a flight, and buy a meal. Do I need to give you such a high salary?"

"Yes, yes, I understand."

"Be smart."

After scolding the assistant, Qin Gang left. After walking a few steps, he looked back and shook his head.

"Let's recruit another one another day. Recruit a woman. Women can take care of people."

"It's not good if you're too beautiful, because you can't tell who will serve whom, and it's not good if you're too young, because you're not considerate enough."

…

"Agarwood, using the Kaitian God Ax to kill me is a bit overkill, isn't it?"

"Why not use the Lotus Lamp? Humph, there is no lamp oil, right? Yang Jian, you have betrayed all your relatives, and now even the Lotus Lamp is not willing to help you."

"Oh, okay, I don't need the Lotus Lantern, and you don't need to use the God's Axe. How about we fight to the death?"

"You are seeking death."

The nephew and uncle flew into the sky to fight. One held a two-edged three-pointed knife, and the other held a small ax used by Taishang Laojun to chop wood.

From weapons to fists and feet, Yang Jian was completely tortured.

In the end, Chen Xiang used his hand instead of an ax and used a big move to seriously injure Yang Jian and knock him into the pool.

"Cao Jun is a good actor," the assistant director said in front of the monitor.

Cao Jun and Ding Xiu acted opposite each other. Cao Jun was very good at acting, and he had a very deep resentment towards his uncle, and he performed the deep hatred very well.

After defeating Yang Jian, the proud look on his face was not concealed at all.

Zhao Jian smiled and said: "He is often abused by Ding Xiu. Today he finally has the opportunity to beat Ding Xiu violently. How can he not be happy?"

After so many days of filming, this is the only time Cao Jun has not been beaten when he plays opposite Ding Xiu. He was always the one who got beaten before.

From being beaten in rehearsal to being beaten when filming officially started, don't mention how miserable it was.

"Click, pass!"

On the set, Ding Xiu, whose life was hanging by a thread, was about to die under the Eight Prince's nine-tooth rake, and the director shouted "Ka".

The staff came to help him change clothes.

After taking off his wet armor, Ding Xiu was left in short sleeves and large pants. He looked up at the scorching sun above his head, and then at the gurgling mountain stream and pools.

With a fierce thrust, he jumped in, and everyone present was shocked.

"It's okay, I'll swim for a while, ah, it feels good."

This time he was shooting an outdoor scene. It was extremely hot in the mountains. He had long wanted to get into the water, but he couldn't do it because he was wearing makeup.

This time he was filming the drowning scene and had to put on makeup again, so he took this opportunity to swim twice.

After swimming for a while, Ding Xiu came ashore, his short sleeves clinging tightly to his body, his eight-pack abs looming, and the girls watched intently.

The assistant was very discerning and opened a bottle of Coke, put a straw in it and handed it to him.

Ding Xiu took the Coke, drank it happily and went to the dressing room.

Ten minutes later, director Zhao Jian came in with the script.

Ding Xiu, who had just changed his clothes and was blow-drying his hair, said, "I thought you weren't coming."

Half of his script has been filmed, and now he doesn't have a word in his hand. If Zhao Jian doesn't come, he will have to make up random lines for the next scene.

"Isn't this coming?" Zhao Jian smiled slightly and put a thick stack of scripts on the table: "We will shoot half of the scene in a while. Just read the lines on the first page. A few words will take no effort, and the rest will be done. Go back and take a look."

"Damn, so much."

Cao Juncai is the male lead in this drama, and he has many roles. The brotherhood and love lines all revolve around him.

As the second male lead, Ding Xiu is actually just a sidekick. He doesn't have many roles and only serves as a foil, so he's not very busy these days. Others are busy, but he is relaxed and comfortable.

Originally, according to his estimation, filming might be completed in two weeks at most, but he didn't expect that there would be so many scenes.

Given the thickness of the script in front of me, it would take several months to film it if the three ABC teams took turns shooting it every day.

Zhao Jian felt guilty. There was indeed not so much in the original script. The role of Yang Jian was really brilliant and Ding Xiu was so handsome. It was a tailor-made drama. It was a pity that it was hastily written off.

The director, screenwriter, and producer all worked together to add some drama to make this character more flesh and blood.

"It's not much. I don't know how much will be left after editing."

Ding Xiu nodded: "That's right."

"Then you're busy, I won't disturb you anymore." After saying that, Zhao Jian exited the dressing room.

Filming was about to start. Ding Xiu looked at the script and frowned.

The scene picks up from the previous scene, where the Eighth Prince was about to rake Yang Jian to death with a nine-tooth nail. At the critical moment, a bone flew over to block him.

Roaring Sky Dog helped Yang Jian up and said loudly: "Master, why don't you tell the truth?"

"The price has been too great, too great for me to bear and unable to repay. The only way to escape is to die."

Yang Jian, who was hopeless, slapped away the barking dog in front of him with one palm.

Here, Ding Xiu was indeed a little helpless, and Yang Jian actually came clean. This was something he did not expect.

These days, he has been acting like a bad guy, bullying his nephew, killing the fourth princess of the dragon clan, breaking Sun Wukong's tendons and legs, turning against the Meishan brothers, etc.

As bad as you want.

I didn’t expect that half of the scene was filmed, and it was completely washed out.

To be honest, playing the good guy Ding Xiu is a bit uncomfortable.

When the Eighth Prince saw this, he wanted to rake it down again. Yang Jian closed his eyes. At the moment of life and death, Xiaoyu appeared, interrupted the Eighth Prince's attack, and said that everything Yang Jian did was for Chenxiang's good.

Before Chen Xiang and others could understand, Yang Jian grabbed Xiaoyu's shoulders and threw him aside.

In the distance, Chen Qi, lying on the ground, was very depressed.

"Who the hell is the screenwriter? Yang Jian gave me a slap and almost caused him to vomit blood. When he got to Xiaoyu, he gave me a gentle push."

Yang Jian wanted to die without any explanation. The eighth prince killed Yang Jian for the third time. If nothing else, there was an accident, and this time he failed again.

But what people didn't expect was that the person who helped Yang Jian was the dead fourth princess of the dragon clan.

The fourth princess told the truth, saying that Yang Jian had been enduring the humiliation.

The purpose of driving Chenxiang to Zhu Bajie's territory is to use Zhu Bajie's hand to lure Sun Wukong and find a cheap master for Chenxiang.

When Chenxiang was causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he colluded with Laojun in advance to leave the elixir. He was afraid that his nephew would not have a weapon, so he even got an ax for splitting wood.

Worried that Chen Xiang would lose power, he pretended to kill the fourth princess of the Dragon Clan, deliberately angering the Meishan brothers and asking them to work as Chen Xiang's helpers.

All in all, very well-intentioned.

…

It’s June and the heat is unbearable.

Ding Xiu ushered in a frustrating filming career. As fierce as he was before, he is now in a state of embarrassment. He was beaten every day, by the Meishan brothers, by Chen Xiang, by Sun Wukong, and by Ding Xiang.

With one punch, his divine personality was shattered and his magic power was gone. He could only follow the Roaring Dog on the roadside to beg for food.

In heaven, gods and ghosts are also disgusted. The Queen Mother looks down on him, the Jade Emperor looks down on him, and his crush on the goddess Chang'e also thinks he deserves it.

The only advantage may be that with the mana gone, Ding Xiu no longer has to wear heavy armor all day long.

On this day, Yan Danchen finished filming.

Fairy Chang'e is offline.

Ding Xiu gave her a bouquet of flowers.

"Thank you Brother Xiu. Remember to come and play with me when you come to Shonan in the future."

"must."

"You have to work overtime for filming tonight, so I won't treat you to dinner. I'll make up for it next time I have the chance."

"By the way, I gave you my little rabbit."

"goodbye."

"goodbye."

Yan Danchen is only the number 7 female, and her status is not big. She is not qualified to hold a wedding banquet, and even if it is held, not many people may go.

So she left immediately after filming.

After watching her leave, Ding Xiu came to the director's studio, slapped Zhao Jian hard on the shoulder, and pressed him tightly.

"Brother Xiu, what can you do?"

"I can't talk to you if I have nothing to do?" Ding Xiupi smiled, holding his shoulder to a place with few people: "What did you talk to me about before joining the group?"

The force on his shoulders became stronger and stronger, and Zhao Jian's face turned bitter: "What did I say? You can give me some hints."

Ding Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "The second half of the script."

Where is the sex scene we promised?

Chang'e is finally finished.

It can't be the rabbit with Chang'e.

Zhao Jian pretended to be dumbfounded: "If you say this, then I have to apologize to you."

"Yang Jian is a character with a complicated heart. I was afraid that he would be difficult to control, so I divided the script into two parts. I played the bad guy in the early stage and the good guy in the later stage."

"It turns out that my idea was unnecessary. You acted perfectly. If I had known that I could act like this, I wouldn't have hid it from you."

Ding Xiu: "..."

After suffering a painful loss and unable to express his suffering, he wanted to strangle this bastard to death.

If he had read Yan Danchen or others' script earlier, he wouldn't have been kept secret for so long.

But with his personality, it's impossible for him to help people read scripts, so he doesn't have the time.

Not to mention that Zhao Jian stipulated that actors should not talk to each other about the script on the set. He said it was to ensure freshness during filming. Talking too much would appear oily, and filming would be routine and unnatural.

"Do you have any questions?" Seeing that Ding Xiu didn't speak, Zhao Jian asked.

Ding Xiu looked at him unkindly: "There are a few martial arts moves that I think are not good, and I would like to make some suggestions."

Zhao Jian's back felt cold and he turned around to leave: "Really? Then I'll help you find a martial arts instructor."

Holding him down and not letting him go, Ding Xiu smiled and said, "No, just a few moves. I'll show you first."

"It's okay, I believe you, just change it if you ask."

"That won't work. If word gets out, people will say I'm a show tyrant. I'd better give you a demonstration."

…

At the end of June, Ding Xiu finished filming.

It took three months to complete the filming, and the crew gave him a grand closing party.

On the day he left, Ding Xiu held a big white rabbit in his arms.

The rabbit belonged to Yan Danchen. It was normal when it was given to him. After a while, its belly started to grow bigger and fatter.

One look revealed that she was pregnant.

There was no second rabbit on the set, so how she got pregnant was a mystery.

Ding Xiu originally wanted to make a rabbit hot pot meal, but because of his pregnancy, the rabbit escaped.

Back in Peiping, Ding Xiu worked non-stop to participate in the No. 1 Under Heaven propaganda.

In the backstage lounge of the TV station, the crew and the main actors reunited again.

Gao Yuanyuan's role is small and the role is light. Without her this time, there are only four actors: Li Yapeng, Ye Xuan, Ding Xiu, Guo Jingan and Chen Farong.

"Hi, long time no see." Ye Xuan was the first to greet Ding Xiu.

"Long time no see." Ding Xiu responded with a smile and said to Chen Farong: "Sister Rong, what have you been busy with recently?"

Chen Farong is known as the goddess of short hair. She has had short hair for thousands of years. She is still the same after not seeing her for half a year, and her appearance has not changed at all.

Not only does her appearance remain the same, but her temperament has become more mature and charming, and her skin has also improved a lot, as if she has had a second spring in her hair.

"What else can I be busy with? Filming." Chen Farong winked: "What, little brother, do you want to play a couple with your sister?"

Ding Xiu chuckled: "We play a couple, I look older and you look younger."

Chen Farong chuckled: "It doesn't seem impossible."

After saying hello to the two girls, Ding Xiucai looked at Li Yapeng. When he came backstage, he remained silent.

They didn't say anything, so he didn't bother to say anything, so he found a sofa and sat down by himself.

Not long after, Li Yapeng's phone rang, and he went out to answer the phone with a livid face.

Chen Farong sat down next to Ding Xiu, squeezed him to the side, and whispered after approaching, "Have you heard about Li Yapeng?"

The figure is plump, the breath is like blue, and the light fragrance exuding from his body makes Ding Xiu's mind dazzle.

Is this the charm of auntie?

"What's the matter?" Ding Xiu coughed lightly and crossed his legs.

Lowering his head and taking a look, Chen Farong continued with a smile in his eyes: "He lost millions by investing in hotels."

Good guy!

Ding Xiu was shocked.

Fortunately, he didn't agree at first, otherwise it would be a bad time.

PS: Some book friends said they were too lazy to wait, so they might as well post it together, so the author combined the two chapters into one.
