This actor needs more money

Huang Xiaoming didn't really want to deal with Ding Xiu, his former love rival. The reason why he worked hard to learn martial arts moves was because he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Ding Xiu.

Who knew that Wu Xing didn't have any sharp eyesight, so he asked Ding Xiu to teach him.

Isn't this just adding salt to the wound?

Ding Xiu also has a venomous mouth when he speaks, just open his mouth and have legs.

"Xiao Ming, watch carefully. First do this, then do this, and finally land. It will be very easy."

Before teaching, Ding Xiu did not forget to dismantle the movements, so that Huang Xiaoming could easily learn the movements that were difficult for him, without any pressure at all.

Easier than eating and drinking.

No wonder Ding Xiu said that just having legs would be enough.

However, Huang Xiaoming seemed to have no feet and could not master it even after learning it several times.

Taking Zhao Liying's thermos cup, Ding Xiu said politely: "I have mastered the essence. What is missing is time. Just follow this. It will be a matter of time before you learn."

He was too stupid and had no martial arts talent at all, so he was too lazy to teach.

Not to mention that my understanding is not good, but my physical condition is not very good. First of all, I have poor balance, and then my coordination is weak and my muscles and bones are stiff.

It will be very difficult for this kind of actor to shoot martial arts scenes. In the future, he may not do any filming or do less filming. It is hard to say that martial arts is not good, but he is easily injured.

This is not as good as Wang Baoqiang. Baoqiang's flexibility is very good. His short stature and lack of handsomeness are both disadvantages and advantages. If he plays a villain, he will definitely be a good player.

Huang Xiaoming didn't understand the meaning of Ding Xiu's words. He only knew that he was no longer teaching and was leaving. He no longer had to "depend on others."

"Brother Xiu, please, I'll practice again."

"It's a small effort, a trivial matter."

Returning to his original position, Ding Xiu crossed his legs and lowered his head to read the novel.

The name of the novel is Ghost Blowing the Lamp. It is a novel about tomb robbing. It is very interesting and stylish.

Some of the things in it actually existed in history, and some were made up by the author.

For example, where in the world do rice dumplings come from?

If there really was a ghost, Ding Xiu would have been haunted by the ghost for so many lives and would not be able to survive.

The idea that you are more powerful after becoming a ghost than you were when you were alive is untenable.

Wouldn't it be that everyone likes to become a ghost, because this is another kind of eternal life, the dream of many emperors, generals, and billionaires.

Ding Xiu was reading a novel, and Li Mingliang was studying Ding Li's martial arts moves. In this way, the afternoon passed.

Huang Xiaoming was exhausted from practicing martial arts, and Ding Xiu's neck hurt from reading novels. Fortunately, Zhao Liying stood behind him and massaged him from time to time.

The next day, martial arts training continued, and Ding Li's new martial arts moves were revealed.

Seeing that Ding Xiu had something to do, Huang Xiaoming breathed a sigh of relief.

As a result, Ding practiced for an hour and learned all seven or eight sets of martial arts moves. He spent the rest of the time reading novels.

Huang Xiaoming continued to practice yesterday's movements with tears in his eyes.

A week later, the crew held a launch conference.

The director, producer, and male and female actors are all in place.

Several tables were arranged in a long straight shape. The table tops were covered with red velvet. Ding Xiu and others sat down according to their different statuses.

Behind them is a wall of posters with final makeup photos of the new Shanghai Tang characters.

Ding Xiu and Huang Xiaoming stood at position C. Both of them wore top hats, black woolen coats, vests, shirts, suit pants, and leather shoes.

Xu Wenqiang, played by Huang Xiaoming, gently held the top hat with his hand, and Ding Li, played by Ding Xiu, was wearing a pair of black leather gloves and holding a gun in front of him.

Behind them are Li Xuejian, the second male lead, and Sun Li, the female lead.

Needless to say, Li Xuejian is a seasoned actor, has won the title of Best Actor, and is famous in the industry.

This time he plays Shanghai tycoon Feng Jingyao.

Ding Xiu has read the script many times and fantasized about who would be more suitable to play the role of Feng Jingyao. In the end, after much deliberation, he had to find an experienced actor who could play the role.

Although New Shanghai Beach is an adaptation, the characters in it can all have their prototypes. Feng Jingyao's prototype is the historical Huang Jinrong.

At his peak, he had more than a thousand men under his command, and he was so powerful that no one in the underworld dared not give him face. He was a person who could shake his head just by stamping his feet.

Because his business was too complex, including food, drink, prostitution, gambling, and smoking, people called him a rogue tycoon.

If you want to bring such a person to the city, you can only have a strong veteran actor.

Having just met Li Xuejian a few days ago, Ding Xiu's first impression was that he was thin, not domineering enough, and not cunning enough. He felt that he might not be able to grasp Feng Jingyao.

But when Li Xuejian opened his mouth during the dialogue, he startled him.

He spoke unhurriedly, with a very firm tone. Every expression was a drama, from a low tone to a raised eyebrow. If he hadn't known that he was talking about his lines, he would have thought that the person sitting in front of him was really a mafia tycoon.

However, Ding Xiuyi was a brave man and it only took a few seconds for him to recover.

For a former outlaw like him, even if the real Huang Jinrong was standing in front of him, it would only be a matter of one blow if he got offended.

Compared with an old drama star like Li Xuejian, the female lead Sun Li is much younger. She was born in 1982, two years younger than Ding Xiu, and her debut was a little later.

But I was very lucky. The year before last, the movie "Jade Guanyin" became a huge hit, won many awards, and even won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress.

In this era where veteran actors are everywhere and veterans generally win awards, it is not easy for young people to win awards.

After Jade Goddess of Mercy, Sun Li starred in director Gao Xi's Happiness is Like a Flower, which became popular again. This is the second time the two have collaborated.

Sun Li plays Feng Chengcheng, the daughter of Feng Jingyao in this drama.

On the poster wall, she has fashionable straight bangs and permed long braids, and she looks like a lady at first glance.

…

"Excuse me, Director Gao, what is the difference between this drama and Old Shanghai?"

"Of course there are differences. This is a brand new story. Each character has his own personality, which is different from the old version. For example, Ding Li. The old version was too short and failed to reflect the domineering character of this character. This time we The screenwriting teacher increased the length..."

"Then do you think Ding Xiu can control this character?"

"Haha, if we couldn't, we wouldn't invite him."

"Mr. Ding Xiu, how did you feel after receiving this role?"

"Director Gao is my favorite director and I have long wanted to work with him. In addition, I have never played a similar role and I really want to try it. I believe that everyone will not be disappointed."

"Teacher Li Xuejian, do you have any thoughts on the character Feng Jingyao?"

"Deep, sophisticated, ruthless, unscrupulous in order to achieve his goals, he attaches great importance to interests...but he also dotes on his family and daughter."

The media reporters on site were all invited by the production crew. Red envelopes were received early and outlines of questions were given to everyone early. Everyone answered fluently and very smoothly.

One question and one answer, time passed quickly.

With everyone's happy applause, the press conference ended, the media were busy going back to write, and the actors were busy returning to the hotel.

The next day, at 11 a.m., filming started in New Shanghai Beach.
