This actor needs more money

Chapter 173 Reconciliation

"Fuck you!"

"Hurry and save people!"

Putting down his headphones, Fatty Wang ran outside the director's studio without saying a word.

None of the crew members reacted, thinking that Ding Xiu and Zhang Weijian had discussed the performance method. It wasn't until Fatty Wang came out that they jumped into the water one by one to fish for people.

In fact, the water is not deep, and the shooting location was on the shore. The place where I fell into the water was only waist high when I stood up.

There was no need to fish, Zhang Weijian stood up directly.

Falling into the water is a small thing, but being embarrassed is a big thing.

At this moment, one side of his face was swollen, and he rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush towards Ding Xiu.

"You're a street brat, do you know how to film? Are there any people like you who can do this?"

Seeing that something was wrong, several staff members who entered the water grabbed him and comforted him.

"Brother Jian, if you have something to say, please tell me."

"Don't be impulsive."

"Let's go ashore first. The water is cold, so don't catch a cold."

On the shore, Ding Xiu remained motionless. He wanted to wait for him to land, and then the two of them would exchange blows.

It's a pity that Zhang Weijian only knows how to talk, but he shouts very fiercely and has a good posture, but he doesn't make any moves.

"Everyone be quiet." Fatty Wang came over with a livid face: "Wei Jian goes to change clothes, Ding Xiu is coming with me."

In November, it’s cold on the shore, let alone in the water. The crew will suffer the most if they catch a cold.

"Director Wang, this is not over yet. We don't film like this." After landing, Zhang Weijian said with a sad face: "This kid did it on purpose. He must give me an explanation."

Pulling Ding Xiu aside, Fatty Wang endured his anger and said, "You're causing trouble for me, right?"

Ding Xiu pointed to the left cheek: "He was the one who struck hard first."

Of course he couldn't knock people into the water without any reason.

Within two rounds of filming, the other party started to hit hard. He just thought he was deep into filming, and he didn't care. In the past few years since his debut, he has played many villains in movies, and most of them were beaten. He has long been used to it. .

But I didn't expect that the other party was getting heavier and heavier, which was obviously intentional.

Taking people's money, fighting off disasters with them, filming, as long as it's in accordance with the director's requirements, I don't have any problem with punching or kicking Ding Xiu.

But he was not used to it at all when some people deliberately staged things out of personal anger.

Looking at the five finger prints on Ding Xiu's face, Fatty Wang was stunned for a moment.

It's so clear and can be imagined. No wonder this kid wants to knock people into the water.

"You can tell me if you have anything to do, so you don't have to be so harsh?"

Ding Xiu tilted his head and rolled his eyes. These words sounded familiar, a bit like what his husband often said when he was studying.

In fact, if you had said it at that time, your husband would not have taken it seriously.

Maybe you can say a slap in the face, why do people bully you but not others?

"One slap can't make a difference. He's not right about this, and neither are you. I'll set up a table tonight, and you apologize to him and shake hands to make peace."

Ding Xiu thought that Fatty Wang would be friendly with Xini, but he didn't expect that he was still young.

Too lazy to talk nonsense, Ding Xiu said: "That's what happened. It's not my fault. It's impossible to apologize. I know it's difficult for Director Wang to be in the middle. Why don't you ask him to come at me if he has anything to do?"

As he spoke, Ding Xiu waved to Zhao Liying, who had been watching on the side: "Take out the camera and give me a few close-ups. This will be used as evidence in the media's lawsuit."

He is indeed not as good as the other guy in terms of celebrity status, but who doesn't know how to create public opinion?

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear boots. Maybe he will be the one who gets famous if things go wrong.

Picking up the camera, Zhao Liying kept taking pictures of Ding Xiu. She was afraid of being caught in the camera. Fatty Wang saw this and hid aside.

This is none of his business. If he is involved, you may not know what the media will say.

After recording the video, Ding Xiu calmly put on his down jacket and sat on a chair to read the script, as if nothing was wrong.

Fan Binbin walked past him and quietly gave a thumbs up.

After a while, there were curses and quarrels coming from the dressing room. Fatty Wang went in to persuade. A few minutes later, Li Huizhu also followed in.

Ten minutes later, the three of them came out together and went to the director's studio.

In front of the monitor, Li Huizhu called up the replay: "You and Ding Xiu each hold their own opinions. I don't know what's right or wrong, but the video doesn't lie. I still have this one, so you can watch it yourself."

The scene started with a scene where the two were slapping each other.

It was obvious that Hua Wuque's force was small, and there were no traces on Xiao Yu'er's face after several blows.

Xiao Yu'er's side was different. Hua Wuque's face turned red within a few seconds, and there were even slap marks.

Next is a scene that everyone knows, the little fish was slapped and flew into the water.

After watching the video, Zhang Weijian said: "Xiao Yu'er loved Tie Xinlan. Now that Tie Xinlan is dead, he has come to Hua Wuque to ask questions. It is normal for the quarrel to be more intense."

Li Huizhu said coldly: "You know it's not normal. I don't want this drama to have any negative impact because of you two."

"You can make a fuss if you want. I'll show the video to Ding Xiu later. When the show airs, you can make whatever fuss you want. The lawsuit is none of my business."

If you get too involved in the play, if it is too serious, these words will only deceive children.

Actors who have been in the industry for a little longer know that they need to use less force when filming action scenes, that is, it looks strong, but it actually doesn't hurt when it falls on the body.

If they were all really beaten, ten lives would not be enough to die in one movie.

Zhang Weijian has been in the industry for 20 years, so he doesn’t understand this truth.

"I……"

"Okay." Fatty Wang tugged on Zhang Weijian's clothes: "Come here, I have something to tell you."

When he came to a deserted place outside, Fatty Wang gave Zhang Weijian a cigarette and took out a lighter to light it.

The two of them puffed away.

"Director Li is on Ding Xiu's side, and both parties are responsible for this matter. If you expose it to the media, they won't care if you are too involved in the drama."

"Let me ask Ding Xiu, a young actor, how can he dare to arm-wrestle with you, a big shot? He will only say that you bully the small ones with your big one, and Ding Xiu can't bear it anymore, so he fights back."

"It will definitely not lead to a lawsuit. It will bring bad reputation to you, and there will be a war of words on the Internet, which will lead to no result. The reputation of Hong Kong actors has been a bit bad in the past few years. How many people are waiting to see the joke."

"He's a clay pot and he's definitely not afraid of making trouble with you, but you can't do it. You'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future, so there's no need to do it in this stall."

Taking a long puff of cigarette, Fatty Wang frowned and continued: "Tens of millions have been invested in this drama. If it cannot be sold because of you two, how will the bosses above feel?"

"Give me some face, stop making trouble, everyone calm down first, I will invite the whole group to dinner in two days, you two have a drink, say a few words, and try to keep everyone talking."

Ding Xiu has filmed many scenes since the filming started for more than half a month, and now it is impossible to change actors.

If the actors were replaced, the scenes between Hua Wuque, Yaoyue Lianxing, Tie Xinlan, Xiao Yuer and others would have to be reshot.

The venue rented by the crew is limited for a limited time, the actors are signed for a limited time, and artificial makeup and extras are all expensive. Opening a costume repair will cost millions, which is not cost-effective.

"Of course, you are rich. If you are willing to pay Ding Xiu's liquidated damages and the losses during this period for me, I will tell him to get out immediately."

Zhang Weijian has a black face.

I was beaten, why should I pay compensation?

Is there any heavenly principle?

He could see that Fatty Wang's purpose was to keep the crew and the project, so he deliberately put down his body and came to beg him.

The two were old acquaintances, so he had to give him face, and he couldn't afford to offend the big boss. This time he really had to grit his teeth and swallow it.

"Director Wang, I'll give you this face, but don't try to persuade me outside the crew."

"Thank you." Fatty Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yuer and Hua Wuque invested tens of millions, and if they sold it, they would sell it for hundreds of millions.

In the face of such a large amount of interests, everyone has to make concessions.

Ding Xiu is from the mainland, so he can't control him. Someone will naturally control him later.

But Zhang Weijian can take care of it. Now he is saying it in a nice voice. If he doesn't listen, he won't have the same tone.

Hundreds of millions of profits, are you kidding me?

That is to say, the times are good now. Ten years earlier, if you had cut off other people's wealth, they would have cut off your livelihood.

"Brother Jian, I'm sorry. I was too deep into the drama that day and couldn't stop for a while."

Two days later, at the hotel, the crew gathered for dinner, and Ding Xiu walked towards Zhang Weijian with a glass of wine.

Zhang Weijian didn't get up, so Fatty Wang gave him a cold look. Then he slowly picked up the wine glass and said, "It's okay, are you an actor? You've all been here like this. You're used to it. There's something wrong with me too."

The wine glasses clinked and the two of them drank the wine in one gulp.

In the eyes of everyone, this was a happy scene.

Seeing that their goal was achieved, Fatty Wang and Li Huizhu looked at each other and nodded. Each of them persuaded the other, and finally saved the project of Xiao Yuer and Hua Wuque.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the guests enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

The next day, the crew filmed as usual, the same scene by the river.

In the past two days, Ding Xiu and Zhang Weijian have not been filming together. Instead, they have been filming their own films. Now that they have reconciled, they will naturally finish filming.

"I, Xiao Yu'er, am no longer your friend. I will no longer interfere with your affairs, and you don't need to interfere with mine. I am going to take revenge!"

"Waste man, waste man, waste man!"

In front of the monitor, Li Huizhu looked at Zhang Weijian on the screen and said, "This scene was well performed, and the emotions were on point. Xiao Yuer's disappointment and anger towards Hua Wuque were all well acted."

Fatty Wang laughed: "This is not staged, it's just that I'm very angry."

Facing Ding Xiu, Zhang Weijian's eyes almost burst into flames.

After suffering such a big loss and being beaten again and again, it would be strange not to be sulky.

"Brother Xiu, you did a great job just now. The crying scene was very accurate." During the break, Fan Binbin came over.

Ding Xiu waved his hand: "It's okay, so-so."

Unless he encounters a character that suits him better, his literary dramas are not as good as his martial arts dramas, and his crying scenes are indeed average, not that good.

Fan Binbin probably came here just to make him happy.

Since what happened two days ago, few actors in the crew dare to get close to him.

Even though he and Zhang Weijian were harmonious at the wine table, no one was a fool. Now that the two of them were at odds with each other and didn't speak when they met, no one could tell that their relationship was tense.

So much so that some smart-aleck people in the crew began to take sides and distance themselves from Ding Xiu.

Lowering his voice, Fan Binbin said: "Do you know what Sister Hua asked me to do a few days ago?"

"What?"

"She asked me to follow her."

Ding Xiu was confused. Fan Binbin was originally an artist under Wang Jinhua, so why should he follow her?

"What's the meaning?"

"It means that Sister Hua is going to change jobs and set up a new agency."

Ding Xiu moved to the side: "You don't have to tell me this kind of thing, do you?"

Patting his thigh, Fan Binbin said: "There is nothing to say. There is a turmoil in our company right now. In a few days, the matter will come out and everyone will know."

"How many people do you think Sister Hua brought this time?"

Ding Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "A quarter."

Huayi has been established for a short period of time, but it is recognized as the strongest in the industry. Its background, connections, funds, and number of artists are all top-notch.

It is easy to enjoy the shade with a big tree at your back. Many people will not give up such good conditions and follow Wang Jinhua all over again.

There are forty or fifty Huayi artists, big and small, and Wang Jinhua is considered capable if he can take away a quarter of them.

Fan Binbin nodded, clasped his fingers and said: "It is indeed a quarter, including Chen Daoming, Liu Jialing, Xia Yu, Yuan Yongyi, Hu Jun, Liang Jiahui..."

Ding Xiu: "..."

There are many artists in Huayi, but only a few are well-known and can make a lot of money.

Although Wang Jinhua only took away more than ten people, most of them were top artists.

It is not an exaggeration to say that half of Huayi's country was emptied at once.

"Why do I feel like you're a little gloating?"

Fan Binbin narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists subconsciously: "You can't say that you are gloating. The company has left so many seniors at once. The pressure on our younger generation is much less, and we have a greater chance of getting ahead in the future."

Good guy, it seems that's really what happened.

There are many big names in Huayi, including a lot of movie kings and actresses, but they only produce and invest in a few dramas every year. Based on seniority, there may not be many young people who can get here.

A carrot and a pit, now that so many people have left, there are indeed more opportunities left for young people.

Ding Xiu could tell from Fan Binbin's words that she did not choose to leave, but stayed.

"Brother Xiu, don't you think I'm ungrateful for not leaving with Sister Hua?"

"That's not to say, you made a very wise decision." Ding Xiu suddenly said: "Li Binbin is also from your company, right? Has she left?"

Resting his arms on his knees, Fan Binbin sneered: "I haven't left yet. I said I can't leave because my contract has not expired. I burst into tears in front of Sister Hua. I told her to call her if I need anything in the future. I'll be there when I call her."

"I was so moved when I saw that scene, but she didn't say anything and didn't let me lend her millions to help pay for the liquidated damages, and then fulfill my wish to follow Sister Hua."

There is no contract that does not expire, only whether you want to leave or not.

At their current stage, millions of liquidated damages are really nothing, they can just grit their teeth and pay it out.

Besides, it was Sister Hua who poached people. Not to mention the help, all liquidated damages would be compensated. One-third of the compensation, half and so on were negotiable.

I opened my mouth but couldn't go, I just didn't want to go.

Ding Xiu raised the corners of his mouth and said, "You two will have some troubles in the future."

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, let alone two tigresses. Neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp.

The company only has so many resources, and their types are still a bit conflicting, so it’s not clear who will win.

Fan Binbin sneered: "What's the trouble? She's so old, I can't stand her until she dies."

Li Binbin's current career is developing better than hers, and everything is overwhelming her.

But how many years can it last?

Li Binbin is thirty-one years old this year and she is twenty-three. In a few years, who will know an old lady?

Before Ding Xiu could say anything, Zhao Liying trotted over: "Brother Xiu, get ready to wait."

This scene is Xiao Yuer and Hua Wuque fighting Jiang Biehe.
