This actor needs more money

Two days after returning, Ding Xiu was about to start work again.

After Lotus Lantern aired, he had a backlog of commercial performances and commercials, but he was still filming Legend of Sword and Fairy at the time and couldn't get away from it.

If we don’t make money anymore, let alone seafood and abalone, we will hardly be able to eat.

Holding a pile of signed contracts, Ding Xiu came to Qin Gang's office and went in without knocking on the door.

"You're here just in time. Let's get to know each other, your life assistant and work assistant."

Qin Gang pointed at the two women in the office and said.

Ding Xiu's eyelids twitched. One of them was fat and the other was as thin as a bamboo pole. They were wearing white shirts, jeans and canvas shoes. They were not only thin, but also small.

The kid here not only looks like a high school student, but is also ordinary in other aspects.

The fat one is burly, with long wavy hair and a very round face. He weighs one hundred sixty-seven pounds by visual estimation.

Ding Xiu said to the two of them: "You two go out first."

The two women looked at each other, walked out silently, and closed the door.

Then, standing by the door, you looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, the fat one spoke first: "Hello, my name is Yang Siwei."

Seeing the other person extending his hand, the thin girl quickly reached out and shook it. She had just come out of school, and she was not used to this more social way of meeting and greeting.

"Hello, my name is Zhao Liying."

Yang Siwei smiled and asked: "Which university did you graduate from?"

Her position is a work assistant. During the recruitment yesterday, there were many competitors, most of whom were graduates from prestigious schools, many of whom were in good shape, beautiful, and versatile.

The scene was so big that she, a senior intern at China Media, had no idea what to do.

Unexpectedly, she received a call after returning home, informing her to come to work today.

Zhao Liying's face turned hot and she said with embarrassment: "Hello, sister, I graduated from a technical secondary school and never went to college."

After saying that, she saw Yang Siwei's shocked expression the next second. Not to mention Yang Siwei, even she was shocked.

After all, yesterday she was working on the assembly line of an electronics factory. She happened to see that this place was recruiting people on her way to get off work, so she came over to give it a try.

Just try it and it's done.

Until now, she still doesn't know why the company hired her.

Then a minute ago, she saw the big star Ding Xiu and realized that she was working for him as an assistant.

My head is buzzing, and I still haven’t reacted yet.

Yang Siwei smiled stiffly, not knowing how to proceed.

The eldest brother, not to mention the second brother, both of them seem to have good luck.

"Is this the assistant you're looking for?"

"Didn't you say under twenty-five years old? It fully meets the standard."

"I call you uncle, so you give me the whole fat and thin tutuo?"

"If you have something to say, let's talk about it. Why do you want to whip the belt? Damn it, you really do it...Brother Xiu, you are using an assistant, not a beauty pageant. It's almost done. We will leave in the afternoon. Where can I recruit new people for you at this time?" …”

Yang Siwei and Zhao Liying looked at each other at the door, and they both heard the conversation inside.

It was obvious that Ding Xiu was dissatisfied with them.

What's even more surprising is that Ding Xiu seems to be dissatisfied with the company's boss. This is the first time he's seen an artist hit his boss. How dare he?

After a while, Qin Gang's voice came from the office.

"The two outside, come in."

Pushing the door open, the office is very quiet and peaceful. Ding Xiu is drinking tea, and Qin Gang is sitting on the boss's chair and signing constantly.

After signing and sealing, he pushed the contract on the table and said to Yang Siwei:

"These are the commercial performances and endorsements for the next period of time. You can take them back and sort them out, arrange the itinerary according to the time, and communicate with Party A on relevant matters in advance."

"Okay, Mr. Qin." The corners of Yang Siwei's mouth turned up, and he stepped forward to put the contract away and hold it in his arms.

Qin Gang looked at Zhao Liying: "Your workload is not heavy, but the time is a bit hard. You have to go wherever Brother Xiu goes. You are usually responsible for serving tea and water, and taking care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation."

Zhao Liying nodded like a chicken: "Yeah."

The job is done.

Ding Xiu sighed, put down his tea cup, stood up and went out. Qin Gang motioned for the two of them to follow.

As soon as the people left, he immediately lit a cigarette and breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to arrange an assistant, he was worried. The work assistant needed a capable person, so she chose Yang Siwei, a top student.

My resume is very beautiful. I was the president of the student union in high school and the president of the School of Film and Television Arts in college. I am very good at dealing with people. I organized several large-scale activities during college and were even reported by CCTV.

The only drawback is that I don't look good, a little fat, and not good-looking.

But for him, not being good-looking is an advantage, and so is being fat.

If you look really beautiful next to Ding Xiu, you will have to take leave to go home and have confinement in a very short time.

The same is true for the life assistant. This position mainly takes care of Ding Xiu's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and serves tea and water. No academic qualifications are required, just hardworking, smart and discerning.

Zhao Liying has a bit of a face, is not tall, and is "plain".

He knew that Ding Xiu would not like this type of person, so he felt safe leaving the two of them to Ding Xiu.

"Oh, it's not easy for me either." Qin Gang sighed, feeling exhausted physically and mentally.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk!"

"Enter."

The company staff knocked on the door and came in with a pile of resumes in their hands: "Mr. Qin, this is the personal secretary you want to recruit. When will the interview be arranged?"

Qin Gang was shocked: "Leave it to me, I will check it myself."

Such an important position as secretary is not something to be careless about. He has repeatedly warned that she must be young and beautiful.

…

For the next period of time, Ding Xiu traveled to different cities every day.

There are two more followers around him, Yang Siwei is responsible for handing over work, and Zhao Liying is responsible for taking care of daily life. Suddenly there are two more people helping him, which makes him feel much more relaxed.

Basically, you don’t have to worry about anything else except getting on stage and showing your face.

While he was busy, A World Without Thieves was in full swing, reaping millions in box office every day. It was obvious that the total box office would exceed 100 million, which was already a certainty.

As the mainland market gradually opens up and per capita income rises, the real big names in the film and television industry are the billion-dollar club.

Bao Qiang, who previously wanted to borrow money for a down payment, now has no worries about the down payment after the popularity of A World Without Thieves. He is no less a commercial actor than Ding Xiu. I often hear him complain about being too tired at work and making too much money.

In August, at the toll station at the Xiangyang Expressway intersection, Ding Xiu sat in the back seat and closed his eyes to rest while Yang Siwei reported on the work progress.

"There will be a ribbon cutting for a real estate project at two o'clock in the afternoon. At eight o'clock in the evening, the local TV station will conduct an interview. The content of the interview is... We will fly back to Peking at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

The co-pilot Zhao Liying held a small notebook in her hand and turned around and asked: "Brother Xiu, what are you going to have for lunch?"

Ding Xiu said calmly: "Be lighter."

"Okay." Zhao Liying happily wrote down.

After following Ding Xiu for more than a month, I was a little scared at first, but over time I got used to it.

This big star is still easy to talk to, has no airs, is relatively approachable, and is very generous with her purchases. She often gives her the leftover money from shopping as tips, which makes Yang Siwei jealous.

After queuing at the toll station for a while, it was their car's turn to pass by. When the driver was paying the toll, the voice of the toll collector caught Ding Xiu's attention.

When I lowered the window, I saw a chubby female toll collector with short hair and two dimples on her face when she smiled.

It was Jia Ling, the former assistant.

Jia Ling also saw Ding Xiu and wanted to hide, but couldn't. Her face was a little embarrassed.

I didn't expect to meet him here.

Fortunately, Ding Xiu didn't chat with her, and the car passed quickly. She was a little disappointed but relieved at the same time.

If Ding Xiu talked to her, she didn't know what to say.

After a few minutes, the phone rang.

The caller ID was Ding Xiu.

She hasn't called this phone since she left Ding Xiu. She only sends text messages to greet him during holidays.

Ding Xiu didn't reply to her.

She knew that Ding Xiu had a bad temper and was just lazy. He rarely responded to people's text messages, but he didn't care too much.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Jia Ling took a deep breath and answered the phone with a smile: "Hey, Brother Xiu, that was you just past. What a coincidence. I've watched all your TV series. They are very good..."

"Aren't you in the cross talk class? Why did you go to the toll station?"

As soon as Ding Xiu opened his mouth, Jia Ling's smile froze.

"Hey, this is not the internship period. My sister will find something for me to do to earn some pocket money."

Strictly speaking, this is her third job during her internship. She previously worked as a script writer and part-time host.

The consumption in Peiping was high and she couldn't survive, so she had no choice but to return to her hometown. The eldest sister asked her connections to get her a stable job at a toll station.

There is no way, at least there is a counterpart unit for internship in other majors. Where can you find a counterpart for the cross talk major, a cross talk company? Where did the cross talk company come from?

This thing is divided into sects. If you can't worship the master, you won't have anywhere to go.

Even last year, when she was still a student, she won the first prize in the cross talk competition, defeating famous people like Guo Degang, but she still couldn't find a job after graduation.

There was too much noise outside the car, so Ding Xiu closed the window, leaned back on his chair and said, "I heard there is an art troupe in your industry, why don't you take the exam and try one?"

Jia Ling laughed dryly: "You can only get in if you have connections, but I can't get in."

It would be nice to have a place to open her mouth. She didn't even think about taking the staff examination, holding an iron job, or beating her to death.

Ding Xiu said calmly: "Have you been there?"

Knowing what he meant, Jia Ling said awkwardly: "Then I'll try it another day."

"That's right. It's nothing to guard a toll booth. You worked hard to study in college and abandoned your dreams when you came out. It's not worth it. You are still young. It doesn't matter if you float for two more years. Young people, in the end, What is not lacking is time.”

After meeting each other, Ding Xiu felt that he should encourage this young man. It was not easy for Jia Ling to come to Peiping, and it was not easy for him to take a cross talk class. Her sister was responsible for everything.

I usually don’t want to buy a few pieces of clothes and am stingy about saving money.

As a result, after I came out of school, I hit a wall and gave up on my dream. It really shouldn't have happened.

I remember when he was a killer and lurked in a brothel for more than 20 days...it made me cry just talking about it.

"I'll ask Lao Qin later to find out which art troupe in Peiping is recruiting people. I'll let you know if there's any news."

"Thank you, Brother Xiu." Jia Ling was overjoyed.

Anyone who talks about encouragement will say that there are not many people who can put it into practice. Ding Xiu is still kind.

After hanging up the phone, Ding Xiu immediately called Qin Gang and asked him to help Jia Ling get a job.

At the company, Qin Gang was enjoying the massage from his secretary. Needless to say, the secretary's skills were very good.

It felt very comfortable to press his head.

Waving to the secretary to go out first, Qin just said, "Are you free? Do you have to take care of the affairs of the former assistant?"

Those who knew it was his ex-assistant, but those who didn’t knew it thought he was his ex-girlfriend.

Ding Xiu said lazily: "You also said she was the former assistant. She knows too many things. What should I do if one day she is revealed? It's just a job. I'll just arrange it."

Qin Gang: "..."

If he believed Ding Xiu, he would be a dog.

He's just an assistant. It's normal to know some things, but he's not following Ding Xiu 24 hours a day. What else can she see when he goes home to do something?

Even if it's just a bit of speculation, so what, she dares to say nonsense without any basis?

She was sued for defamation every minute, and the loss of the announcement and the commercial performance were all on her, or she would have to admit her mistake with tears and snot in her nose in two days.

Besides, if you really think that the confidentiality agreement is strict, you have been warned when you join the company, and you can't talk nonsense after leaving the company.

Qin Gang probably used this matter as an excuse because of Ding Xiu's kindness.

"Okay, I get it, art troupe, right? Let me ask."

After thinking again and again, Qin Gang agreed. Compared with the art troupe, he was more afraid of Ding Xiu's brain twitching and arranging Jia Ling to be an actor in the company. That condition was really very reluctant.

The space in the car was small, and Yang Siwei and Zhao Liying could hear every word of Ding Xiu's chat.

The two of them looked at each other with their eyes and noses, and their noses and minds, pretending not to hear anything.

Putting away his mobile phone, Ding Xiu said: "The person at the toll booth just now was the former assistant Jia Ling. He left his job more than two years ago. He was not much older than you when he came to my place."

He raised his hand and gestured to Zhao Liying.

"Later, she wanted to take the college entrance examination and went to study. Speaking of Xiao Zhao, you shouldn't have to take the college entrance examination after working for a while, right?"

Afraid of losing her job, Zhao Liying shook her head vigorously: "I've graduated and I won't take the college entrance examination."

She didn't lie. She really didn't want to go to college because her family didn't allow it.

My current dream is to make more money and establish myself in Peking. As for the future... who knows what will happen in the future, just take it one step at a time.

"That's it, that's good."

For some reason, Zhao Liying heard a hint of regret in Ding Xiu's tone. During these days of getting along with him, she had learned more or less about Ding Xiu's character.

He may want to fire himself and find someone with a better figure and a bigger size.

"How old are you? Are you over eighteen?"

Ding Xiu asked again.

Zhao Liying rejoiced: "It's full. It was just full last month."

Ding Xiu didn't say anything, and after a while he said, "Do it well, and I won't treat you badly in the future."

"Uh-huh!"

Yang Siwei said weakly: "Brother Xiu, and me."

"You?" Ding Xiu looked at her: "Just eat less."

Jia Ling was a slender girl when she first followed him, but gained dozens of pounds when she quit her job.

Yang Siwei had a high starting point, and he was really afraid that his weight would increase by 200 in a few years.

After working for a while, Ding Xiu returned to Peiping.

I didn't see Huang Bo in the company, he went out to film, and Bao Qiang didn't see him either, he was busy with business performances.

A World Without Thieves has a total box office of 130 million. With its popularity, Baoqiang went to many commercial performances and made a lot of money. During this time, he paid the down payment for a house and a car.

It's all mortgage.

Ding Xiu wanted to remind him to take it easy, but he was afraid that if Baoqiang thought too much, he would not be able to see him.

At around the same time, Lao Zi’s House of Flying Daggers was scheduled to be released on National Day.

This movie starring Andy Lau, Ding Xiu, and Zhang Ziyi is about to enter its promotion period.
