This actor needs more money

"You are not in this business, so you don't know how dangerous the world is."

Ding Xiuxian glanced at Zhao Liying and said.

How can the entertainment industry be so easy to mix up? If you don’t have a background and connections, it will be too difficult to get ahead.

It’s so difficult for male artists, let alone female artists.

If you don't have all-round skills, talk nonsense to others, and try to get ahead, you still don't know the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

Zhao Liying blurted out out of nowhere: "If I become an actor, I can do well without flattery."

Ding Xiu smiled: "You should finish the assistant's job first. Yang Siwei should be promoted to an agent soon. From now on, the assistant's job will be yours."

"Look, we're all from the same company. They're all agents, and you're still an assistant."

His previous manager had always been Qin Gang, who was more or less a nominal agent.

Because Qin Gang also takes care of the work of the company's CEO and is usually very busy.

I have long wanted to find a reliable agent for Ding Xiu. It happened that Yang Siwei joined the company last year and had strong business ability. At the beginning of the year, Qin Gang said that he would train her to be an agent.

In half a year, it seems that the training is almost complete.

Before joining the group, Qin Gang slowly handed over the brokerage business to Yang Siwei.

Two days ago, Qin Gang officially informed him that Yang Siwei would be his exclusive agent from now on and would be responsible only to him.

"I'm not bad at it, okay." She puffed up her chest, Zhao Liying's confidence was very low. She was a graduate of a technical secondary school and couldn't compare to Yang Siwei, a graduate of a prestigious school. Her vision, ability, and handling skills were inferior.

Obviously we are not much different in age, but Yang Siwei is like a duck in water in the workplace, while she is like a rookie.

At first, she thought it was because she was with Ding Xiu and had less contact with the workplace. But some time ago, she often visited the company and had more contact with colleagues, and she realized how big the gap was.

"Brother Xiu, after I serve as a work assistant, do I need to recruit new life assistants?"

Not far away, Yang Mi, who was chatting with Liu Yifei, heard the sound and came over: "Recruiting? Find me. I'm in the summer vacation of my senior year in high school. I have nothing to do until the university starts. Brother Xiu, if you don't mind, you can try me. .”

"I have no problem serving tea and water, doing laundry and cooking. I will learn something from you by the way, and I will shine in the company in the future."

Ding Xiu said calmly: "Don't join in the fun. I grew up on the set and have become a veteran. You can still talk well. I think you have more experience than me."

"The life assistant doesn't have much work. Xiao Zhao is familiar with the business, so let her take care of it."

Zhao Liying said firmly: "I promise to complete the mission."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced sideways at Yang Mi, with a proud smile on his lips.

Whether the assistant has a lot of work or not mainly depends on which artist he works with. Some artists have quirks and cannot sleep alone and must be accompanied by someone.

Well, assistant who lives on the sofa, or on the bedroom floor.

There is also a sudden idea that I like to eat barbecue or something in the middle of the night, and the assistant wants to run to buy it immediately.

He often curses and doesn't treat his assistant as a human being.

Fortunately, Ding Xiu doesn't have any of these problems. It may be because he is a martial arts practitioner. He is carefree and doesn't like to worry about details. As a life assistant, he just does some easy work of serving tea and pouring water.

It would be even easier to join the cast when it comes to filming, because Ding Xiu is busy all day long, and she only needs to deliver food and water.

In weather like today, bring an umbrella.

Yang Mi said unwillingly: "Brother Xiu, remember to consider me next time you recruit an assistant."

Ding Xiu waved his hand impatiently: "You can wait until your Nie Xiaoqian is broadcast before you say this."

After he rejected Ning Caichen, Sugarman gave the role to Hu Ge, who was Tang Yu Xiaobao in The Legend of Sword and Fairy, and formed a pair with Yang Mi's Nie Xiaoqian.

I heard that the actors in several other units are also great.

Painted Skin stars Chinese opera school beauty Zeng Li and TVB actor Jiang Hua.

Xiao Cui stars Lin Zhiying and Li Binbin.

Lu Pan stars Huang Xiaoming and Hu Ke.

The Insane Bird stars Yuan Hong and Rainie Yang.

If Ding Xiu and Qin Lan didn't refuse, Xiaoqian would be the two of them starring.

It brings together so many stars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, and it is a relatively popular Chinese drama. Needless to say, its popularity is indispensable.

If Yang Mi can play the lead role in one of the units, there will definitely be a lot of attention after the show is aired. By then, she will be too busy running commercials to make money every day, so how can she come to work as his assistant.

On the one hand, there is a monthly salary of one or two thousand, and on the other hand, there is an annual income of hundreds of thousands. Any fool knows which one to choose.

Sticking out her tongue, Yang Mi turned around and ran to Liu Yifei's side.

…

In June, the weather is hot, the days are long and the nights are short, so the shooting time increases, and there are several extra hours every day.

In order to wait for the light, Meng Guangmei and Kong Lin went to the set to put on makeup as early as three o'clock.

It was not easy for Ding Xiu and Wang Luoyong. A lot of fighting scenes consumed a lot of energy. One shoot lasted a whole day. Ding Xiu helped Wang Luoyong down the mountain several times.

After filming in Jiuzhaigou for a month, the crew continued to rush to the next location.

After traveling to four or five places, the crew returned to Xiangshan Film and Television City again in late July.

"Brother Xiu, why doesn't this horse move?"

Outside the city, it was Yang Mi's turn to film a horse riding scene. After getting on the horse, she couldn't walk and was spinning in circles.

She joined the team late and missed the previous unified training. There was a horse riding scene today and she started practicing just the day before yesterday, and she only practiced for a few hours.

She was only a supporting role, and her horse riding scenes were only for a few scenes. It was impossible for the director to spend a lot of time finding someone to teach her how to ride a horse.

On the chair, Ding Xiu, who was wearing a black T-shirt and sunglasses, bit his straw and drank coconut juice without moving his buttocks.

"Pull the reins tight, clamp your legs firmly on the horse and you can go."

"How to clamp, teach me."

Ding Xiu turned to Liu Yifei and said, "Teach her a lesson."

Having a rare opportunity to teach others, Liu Yifei happily stepped forward to teach Yang Mi.

I don’t know if she is stupid or something, but when it was her turn to start filming, Yang Mi still rode in circles, and the actor opposite her, the Golden Wheel King, could only ride and follow her.

Zhao Jian originally wanted to call it quits, but when he thought that Yang Mi was a small character, just a few transitional scenes, not too important, he just let it go.

Liu Yifei, who was watching the show, said sheepishly: "Everyone's understanding is different. When you taught me, I learned it immediately. I don't know why she didn't."

Ding Xiu shook his head, his comprehension ability was indeed a bit low.

It's not as simple as clamping your legs.

After finally finishing the filming, Yang Mi sighed and went back to rest. Ding Xiu said: "Tomorrow is our scene, do you want to check the lyrics?"

"Can you wait a moment? I'm going to the bathroom."

Picking up the script, Yang Mi ran away in a hurry, muttering the lyrics.

When I came back an hour later, I was able to finish the words correctly.

Ding Xiu didn't embarrass her. After discussing the acting method, he went into the dressing room to put on makeup and prepare to film his part.

In the afternoon, there was a big show with thousands of people.

Yang Guo breaks into the army to rescue Guo Xiang. He drives a carriage on the battlefield and fights against a large number of soldiers. There are many action scenes, which are very complicated, and there are also explosion scenes, which need to be shot.

It has to be said that Zhang Bearded's dramas have always been top-notch productions in terms of Fu Daohua. They are considered top-notch in China. There are not many costume dramas that can compare with him.

This is why Jin Yong sold the copyright to him again and again.

Look at the dramas filmed by TVB. In the costume dramas, the male protagonist is still wearing Nike shoes, and the props are a mess.

Glue a hood on, and there is a circle of glue marks from forehead to temples, which is unbearable to look at.

The scene that Ding Xiu filmed today had more than 1,300 extras alone, and seven or eight machines were set up to shoot at 360 degrees with no blind spots.

Not to mention that Zhang Jizhong built a film and television city specifically for this drama.

TVB also has a film and television city. They call it a film and television street. Just by listening to the name, you can tell how big the area is. If you say it is a street, it is a street.

All costume dramas are filmed on that street

"Big brother, save me."

"I knew you were coming."

"It's you again, Yang Guo!"

"Miss Long, long time no see."

This fight scene was Ding Xiu's home field. We shot it all afternoon and didn't finish it until dark. The remaining part had to be saved for tomorrow.

Liu Yifei, who suffered from back pain, sighed and followed Ding Xiu, complaining: "This film should be the most difficult one I have received so far."

"I really envy you. You can have references from previous movies and TV series. I don't know who to look for if I want to find someone to refer to."

There have been seven versions of The Legend of the Condor Heroes before, and the more classic one is the version by Louis Koo and Li Ruotong ten years ago.

Li Ruotong was almost thirty years old when she played the role of Little Dragon Girl. This version of Little Dragon Girl is eighteen years old and has a completely different approach. She has no reference to the acting methods of her predecessors and can only figure it out on her own.

"You've done a great job." Ding Xiu comforted, "In my opinion, your performance is no worse than Li Ruotong."

"That's right." Liu Yifei's eyes suddenly narrowed with a smile.

"Of course, haven't you seen the director praising you every day?"

"I thought they were being polite."

"Be confident."

"Yeah, I think you're also very good at acting, no worse than Goo Jai."

"Really, tell me, where is the best place?"

"You are more handsome than him, have better martial arts than him, and are taller than him..."

"Why are you wandering around if you don't go home after filming?" Before she could finish her words, Liu Xiaoli appeared behind her, holding her ears and saying, "I even called her son, no matter how big or small."

"Mom, I'm too deep into the drama and I haven't come out yet."

"Have you come out now?"

"Out."

"What should it be called?"

Liu Yifei blinked at Ding Xiu: "Uncle Ding."

Ding Xiu smiled and nodded: "My eldest niece."

Letting go of Liu Yifei's ears, Liu Xiaoli said: "I have recognized Ding Xiu as my godbrother. You should respect him from now on."

Liu Yifei was confused: "Why didn't I know when it happened?"

Ding Xiu shrugged: "Two days ago, Sister Liu specially invited me to dinner. She said that she wanted to repay her life-saving grace and recognized me as her younger brother."

He was quite happy to have multiple fuck sisters at once.

Liu Yifei was about to cry. He used to think that the title uncle was a joke, but he didn't expect that he would actually become an uncle.

Uncle?

This title is a bit strange.

…

The next day, it was another scorching sun.

The sun was like a scorching sun, distorting the air. Seven or eight extras suffered from heatstroke in the morning, and even many extras gave up their work.

Thirty yuan a day, what a waste of life.

Helpless, Zhao Jian added another twenty yuan to keep the person.

Most of the people who can come as extras are bastards. We expect them to be dedicated and don't even think about it. If the money is short, they will leave in a minute.

Fifty yuan a day is already a sky-high price for extras in this era.

After Ding Xiu finished filming a scene, he ran back to the RV to escape the heat. He skillfully took out an ice cream cone from the refrigerator and licked it.

Knowing that he wanted to check his phone, Zhao Liying handed it over: "Brother Xiu, Sister Yang said that Xiao Yuer and Hua Wuque, which you filmed last year, will be released. There will be promotions from Wednesday to Friday next week, so you need to take four days off."

"Are there any more?" Clicking on QQ, Ding Xiu immediately saw a message from Fan Binbin, which was also a promotion for Xiao Yu'er and Hua Wuque.

"Ding Xiu, you still owe me a meal, remember? Remember to pay it back when we meet next week."

"Our first stop for promotion is Sichuan Province. I heard that the saliva chicken there is good."

"Zhang Weijian will not participate in the promotion this time. I heard that the TV station does not want him. Our show depends on you, hold on."

"What's your next drama? I've been busy lately. Don't forget me if you have something good going on..."

Zhang Weijian's failure to participate in the promotion was expected by Ding Xiu. Things were so big last year and he would definitely not be able to survive in the mainland.

In order not to offend the audience, how dare the TV station promote him.

We can only wait a few years, wait for the news to pass, and see if it can come out again.

As for Fan Binbin saying that she was idle and had no filming, Ding Xiu naturally didn't believe it.

Ever since she won the Best Actress trophy, Fan Binbin has had no shortage of resources. The schedule may not be scheduled for two or three years. It is a joke to say that she is idle.

Ding Xiu usually browses entertainment news and often sees her appearing in front of the cameras of major media, either at a movie premiere or a TV series launch conference.

Four or five movies a year are being shot so fast that I have to be busy day and night. How can I be free?

"Yes." Zhao Liying continued: "I heard from Sister Yang that there are still two advertising endorsements, a variety show, and three media interviews. We can wait until you finish filming."

Ding Xiu was surprised and put down his phone: "So few?"

In the past, as long as there was a production, the crew would be busy for at least a month or two, including various commercial performances, endorsements, and media interviews.

"Sister Yang said that your position is no longer what it used to be. We would rather have less money than take on another job."

Ding Xiu suddenly lost millions of dollars in income. He was furious and immediately called Yang Siwei: "Explain to me what time is. There is no high or low job, only more money and less money. How could you do this..."

"Two days ago, some artists endorsed fake products and were fined hundreds of thousands. They also randomly gave people a platform to open a restaurant. Afterwards, someone in the restaurant got food poisoning. Those who endorsed three-no products and health medicines had their banners blocked in front of their homes. .”

"Our company does not have the ability to investigate whether the behind-the-scenes of every commercial performance is clean or not. For the sake of safety, we will no longer accept such jobs in the future. We will only accept product endorsements from big brands with guaranteed credibility."

Ding Xiu half-squinted his eyes: "Xiao Yang, do you always speak so harshly?"

Over there, Yang Siwei softened her tone and said with a smile: "Brother Xiu, these were all decided unanimously by the company at a meeting. Mr. Qin made the decision. You know, I will always be yours. As long as you give the order, , I’ll…”

Ding Xiu shuddered when he thought of her weight: "Shut up, I know."

With this cut, millions of dollars in income will be lost a year. It would be a lie to say that I don’t feel distressed.

But what Yang Siwei said is not unreasonable.

The previous path was indeed a bit wild. If we want long-term development, we still have to take the right path.
