This actor needs more money

Chapter 169 Annual Box Office Champion

Seeing Ding Xiu so confident, Wang Jin felt more relieved.

This version of Hua Wuque's costumes are a bit out of style with Su Youpeng, which was intentional on his part.

Afraid of being compared?

What is needed is comparison.

Only in this way can it be popular and discussed by the audience.

It has to be said that Fatty Wang has a thorough understanding of traffic. He understands what the audience wants very well and is very capable of capturing market trends.

In front of the media, he said that his film and television dramas are not art, but business, a profitable business.

When talking about the romantic movies he once directed, he didn't shy away from them at all, saying that he would make them as long as it was legal.

Under the guidance of lighting photography, Ding Xiu took more than a dozen poses, then changed clothes and continued shooting. There were seven or eight sets of clothes, some of which looked like a handsome nobleman, and some of which were beggars.

In the evening, Fatty Wang played a game and everyone had dinner together.

Ding Xiu did not see Zhang Weijian during the dinner, nor did he see him during the day. He said that his schedule was very tight and he could not make it for the time being.

After exchanging glasses of wine and having a meal, Ding Xiu got to know a lot of the other actors.

The female lead, Yuan Quan, plays the role of Xiao Yuer's beauty Su Ying. She is three years older than Ding Xiu. She graduated from the 1996 acting department of China National Drama Theater. She has won the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actress. She is very powerful.

That is to say, he doesn't like to hype, otherwise his popularity will not be weaker than Fan Binbin.

The second female lead, Fan Binbin, plays Tie Xinlan, and the third female lead, Yang Jie, plays the villain Jiang Yuyan.

There are many female characters in this drama, and there are two arranged for the male lead alone, namely the female lead Su Ying and the fifth female lead Bai Xue.

While chatting, I heard Fan Binbin say that Bai Xue and Zhang Weijian were in the same company, and it was Zhang Weijian who recommended her to join the group.

There are also two people who have emotional scenes with Ding Xiu, the second female lead Tie Xinlan and the third female lead Yang Qie.

Among the remaining female characters, the more outstanding ones are Yihua Gong Lianxing and Su Ying's mother Su Ru, both of whom are great beauties.

The person who plays Su Ru is Liu Hongmei, who is the wife of Jiang Menshen in Water Margin. She is also a teacher in the Chinese Opera Performance Department. Her classmates include Hu Jun and Xu Xun.

One of the more famous among her students is Sun Honglei, who played Liu Huaqiang in Conquest last year and won the Best Actor at the College Student Film Festival in the same year.

The person who plays Lian Xing is called Ni Jingyang, who is one year older than Ding Xiu. Two years ago, she and Jian Jianfeng filmed the 18-year-old Sky, in which she played the female lead, Teacher Pei Pei.

This campus youth drama was extremely popular at the time.

To strike while the iron is hot, last year she also released a movie in which she played the leading female role, called Sanda, and the producer was Tsui Hark.

Sanda failed to pass the review in the Mainland and was released in France, where it was silently released.

These are all what Fan Binbin said to Ding Xiu during the chat.

She knows all about the representative works of the cast and crew.

Among the male characters, the only one Ding Xiu is familiar with is Xu Jingjiang. Zhang Weijian has heard of his name for a long time, but has never seen him. Furthermore, when he introduced himself during the dinner, there was an actor named Wang Bozhao, who played Jiang Biehe, who he had played when he was young. The little white dragon in Journey to the West.

Time has passed, and after so many years, he has become older, and his handsomeness is no longer at his late fifties.

Halfway through the meal, Wang Jin stood up, holding a glass of wine and said with a smile, "You might not be able to let go if I'm here. Let's go now. Let's have fun."

We drank a glass of wine and left after chatting with each other for a few polite words.

Li Huizhu followed closely behind, but instead of drinking, she smiled and patted Ding Xiu on the shoulder.

Without the two bosses, the atmosphere at the table was much more relaxed. Everyone stopped pretending and chatted with familiar people while holding their wine glasses.

Fan Binbin held his chin with one hand, biting his red lips, and put one hand in front of Ding Xiu: "Phone."

Ding Xiu handed over his mobile phone, and Fan Binbin immediately used his mobile phone to dial his number, and also helped him save his name.

After saving, Fan Binbin's eyelids jumped when he saw a row of big names' names in his contact list.

"Brother Xiu, you have so many friends."

Li Lianjie, Zhang Jizhong, Zhou Xingchi, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu, Zhang Ziyi, Liu Dehua, Zhang Yimou... they are all big guys.

Ding Xiu put away his cell phone and said, "If someone leaves me a phone number to save face, they can't be considered friends."

Fan Binbin nodded lightly. This business is very cruel. When you are popular, you will never lack friends. During the holidays, there are many text messages to greet you. Those who give gifts and invite you to dinner can break the threshold.

When you are no longer popular or have no commercial value, will you try to find these people again?

A true friend, a friend who has interests in each other, a friend who is fair and healthy, must have a strong balance in his heart.

Sometimes when people say a few polite words, you really lose.

Now it seems that Ding Xiu has not been carried away yet and knows how much he weighs.

After getting in touch with him on this day, Fan Binbin also discovered that Ding Xiu is more stable than his peers and has a good sense of distance in dealing with others. She, a "veteran" who has been in the industry for eight years, is ashamed of herself.

"Hello, brother Ding Xiu, can you leave your phone number?"

Yang Nie stepped forward with his cell phone and also ran over to ask Ding Xiu for his contact information.

She was in Nortel's 99 advanced training class. She had just graduated two years ago. She debuted at about the same time as Ding Xiu. Her actual age is two years older than Ding Xiu.

However, in this industry, seniority is not considered in terms of qualifications.

If the one is redder than yours, the man can call him brother and the woman can call her sister.

Yang Yan didn't want to be too worldly, but Ding Xiu and she had a starring role, so it would be easier to communicate with her if she had a phone number.

"Of course." Leaving his phone number behind, Ding Xiu returned the phone.

After Wang Jin and Li Huizhu left, everyone at the table began to socialize with each other, and those sent from the college started to build relationships, calling each other senior brothers and sisters very familiarly.

The relationship with the same brokerage company has become better, and we have a lot of fun chatting, especially the group from Hong Kong Island, who form a small circle of their own and speak incomprehensible Cantonese.

Ding Xiu and Fan Binbin, who come from wild backgrounds, would be embarrassed in this situation.

However, compared to the two of them, Ni Jingyang, who is less famous, and Bai Xue, who is a newcomer and does not understand Cantonese, are more embarrassed.

Ni Jingyang is also a monk on the way, but the only film he can produce is "Eighteen Years Old Sky", which was written two years ago.

In the past two years, her popularity has declined so much that not many people can even call out her name when walking on the street.

The academic school can't fit in. She doesn't know anyone on Hong Kong Island. Ding Xiu and Fan Binbin are not in the same rank, and no one wants to talk to her. How can we talk?

Also on pins and needles was Bai Xue.

It is true that she and Zhang Weijian are in the same company, but she is from the Mainland, a newcomer, and cannot speak Cantonese, so she is not pleasing to both sides.

Fan Binbin noticed the embarrassment between the two of them and took the initiative to chat: "How about we create a Q group. It will be more convenient for everyone to chat together in the future."

QQ has been out for several years. Before, it could only be used on the computer. Last year, it launched the mobile version. It completely replaced the SMS chat mode and can also chat with multiple groups. It is very convenient and very popular among young people. There are hundreds of millions of users. They basically like to surf the Internet. Each person has a number.

"Okay." Bai Xuesong said after finally meeting someone he could chat with, and took out his phone to join the group.

The group leader is Fan Binbin. After setting up the group, he tells everyone the group number and they quickly join one by one.

"Who is attacking the Widow Village at night?"

Suddenly seeing a person's nickname, not only Fan Binbin, but everyone else was also stunned.

Once this name is obtained, there is no one left.

"Ahem." Ding Xiu coughed: "My assistant made the number, and I don't know much about it."

Fan Binbin rolled his eyes: "Everyone should change their real names after joining the group, otherwise it will be difficult to recognize them."

After joining the group, Ding Xiu received a series of friend requests from people in the group, and he agreed to them one by one.

Seeing everyone walking around and socializing, Ding Xiu, who didn't like the excitement, found a corner and looked through the friend space he had just added.

Most of Bai Xue’s spaces are travel photos. It’s obvious that she loves traveling very much.

Fan Binbin's space is all about promoting new dramas and taking photos with directors and artists on certain red carpets. The latest one is a photo of everyone at this wine party.

Ni Jingyang's space mostly includes personal selfies, in various costumes, or taking pictures of delicious food and making sad remarks.

"Are your legs long?"

While Ding Xiu was still watching, there was a voice in his ear. His eyes moved from the long black legs on the screen to Ni Jingyang, his face not red and his heart not beating.

"very long."

It was indeed very long. Among the female artists he had ever seen, this one had the longest legs.

Not only are the legs long, they are also beautiful.

Ni Jingyang: "..."

Ding Xiu couldn't control her now.

This is the first time I encountered someone who was so calm and collected after being caught peeking at someone else's long legs.

Obviously, he underestimated Ding Xiu's face.

The next second, Ding Xiu also liked the picture below the Nine Palaces, and then asked with great interest: "How tall are you? You must be 1.8 meters, right?"

Gently stroking his long hair behind his ears, Ni Jingyang said: "1.82 meters tall, net height. I used to be a model."

Ding Xiu looked down at her feet: "No wonder you don't wear high heels."

During the day today, she had been wearing flat shoes.

"If I wear high heels, no one will dare to take a photo with me." Ni Jingyang said: "When it comes to taking photos, everyone else will stay away from me."

"But Brother Xiu, your height is not a problem. In the worst case, I'll bend down and make do with it."

Ding Xiu "..."

Why is this a bit weird?

After returning from Xiao Yu'er and Hua Wuque, Ding Xiu began to promote House of Flying Daggers.

In the past few years, Mr. Lao has been specializing in commercial acting films, and the path he takes is to release them globally.

Before it was released in the mainland, it had already started overseas.

Domestically, Hong Kong Island and the mainland are only one day apart.

It was released in mainland China on October 1st, and the National Day schedule was directly maximized.

This is the confidence of a great director. There is no shortage of investors before filming starts, there is no shortage of film schedules after the release, and many people support him.

On the day of the premiere, Ding Xiu followed Mr. Lao to greet him at the door. The person who came in was not a big director, but a big producer, a first-line star, an international actor and actress.

The scene was comparable to a large party.

After the movie was released, many people sent Ding Xiu their blessings whether it was through phone calls, text messages or QQ.

As always, Qin Gang booked a show and took the whole company to watch it.

This time Ding Xiu did not participate, but went to the crew of Xiao Yuer and Hua Wuque to make some preparations before filming started.

For example, setting the makeup for the second time, checking the weapons, and discussing the fighting style with the martial arts instructor.

Before filming started, Zhang Weijian joined the cast and learned martial arts from a martial arts instructor for a few days.

Around that time, the reputation of House of Flying Daggers on the Internet came to a head, and the old man was scolded bloody.

"What the hell are you filming? This is stinky shit. I haven't made a good film since Red Sorghum."

"It's all in vain that such a good actor like Liu Dehua was blinded. "A World Without Thieves" was also released this year. Liu Dehua's performance was so good, but it was immediately useless as soon as it came into the hands of Zhang Yimou."

"Zhang Ziyi's acting skills are outstanding. Needless to say, she also dances very well and has a great figure."

"There are only a few martial arts scenes in the whole drama. Ding Xiu is still very capable. In addition, Xiu is as good-looking as Liu Tianwang and is still so handsome."

"The shots are beautiful. Every frame can be used as a screensaver. The few intimate scenes are a bit redundant."

"Old So-and-so's drama is still so gaudy. In addition to the big scenes and beautiful scenes, the basic plot and story don't hold up. Wouldn't it be better to polish the plot when you have time to work on the scenes?"

"Fuck, it's too poisonous. What the hell? This bloody plot. What I can't stand the most is that my little sister died three or four times and then got back up."

"Liu Dehua is in a bit of a haggard state, and his acting skills are not as good as those of A World Without Thieves. He has not reached the basic standard this time."

The Internet, the media, netizens, and the overwhelming abuse made the old man numb.

The hero was scolded last time, but not as harshly as this time.

The reputation of House of Flying Daggers is polarized. Those who like it love it very much, and those who don't like it have sent greetings to him for eighteen generations.

In addition to the weak plot, the character of the little sister became one of the downfalls.

One moment I love Ding Captou, and the next I love Liu Captou.

Just after they finished making love with Ding, they turned around and were about to make love with Liu.

She really became a social butterfly.

Tossing and turning and not being able to die is also a point of attack for netizens.

They all lie down and get up again at critical moments. This happens not once or twice.

The final finale made netizens say they couldn't understand it. Xiao Mei and Liu Captou were fighting with flying knives, but neither side made a fatal move.

If you don't want to kill someone, why do you want to kill them?

Isn't this redundant?

Anyway, the audience was confused, and many people had two feelings after watching it.

The first girl has a great figure, and there are many intimate scenes in the film. Although she doesn't reveal much, seeing the goddess being bullied like this made some viewers excited.

The second is that the scene is very beautiful, with a sea of ​​bamboos, mountains of flowers, and heavy snow, all of which are beautiful scenes in the world under the lens of the cameraman.

Ding Xiu, Zhang Ziyi, and Liu Dehua are the three main protagonists. If you want to say who is the most stunning, it is undoubtedly Zhang Ziyi.

This time she made a bigger sacrifice, and the blind man acted very well.

I don’t know if it’s because Ding Xiu’s acting skills have been improving as soon as he plays kissing scenes and LSP scenes. Compared with the past, he has made great progress this time. Many viewers think that he is more interesting than Andy Lau.

The worst performer was Andy Lau, whose acting skills and mental state were not at the level they should be.

But it’s not his fault. The audience didn’t know that during that period, when he was still in the mood to film when facing the death of his friend, he became a ghost.

Of course, it's not just the actors who are responsible for a bad character, the director and screenwriter also have problems.

No matter how good the actors are, a bad story will not produce much effect.

One thing to say, the script of House of Flying Daggers is indeed not on the same level as Lao Zi's previous works.

He has been trying to transform since he was a hero.

The two consecutive costumed martial arts movies received polarizing reviews, but both were good at the box office, so it’s hard to say whether they were a success or a failure.

You can call him a failure. The total global box office of Hero is over one billion.

House of Flying Daggers is not bad either, with a box office of 1.6 billion in the Mainland, which is higher than A World Without Thieves. The global box office is more than 90 million US dollars, which is more than 700 million US dollars based on the exchange rate of 1:8.

Including the overseas copyright fee of 200 million and other miscellaneous expenses, this drama has earned more than 1 billion.

The investors and the old man are making a lot of money.
