This actor needs more money

"The female lead is Bai Bin, who plays the role of Princess Yushu. She was born in 1986 and is 21 years old this year. This is her first TV series."

"As a newcomer to film and television, Bai Bin's acting skills are probably not much better. Sister Yang means that Brother Xiu, if you have any opinions, you can respond to the emperor, and the company will try its best to mediate."

If you are dissatisfied with your opponent's actor, you can raise your opinion with the producer. This is Ding Xiu's right.

With his current celebrity status, the showrunners have to treat his words with caution.

This is how it is in the entertainment industry. The bigger the position, the more popular the person, the higher the salary, and the greater the say in the crew. For example, the top actors can even reject rival actors with one sentence and replace them with their favorite actors. .

Bai Bin is the new signee of Emperor, so asking her to match up with Ding Xiu is indeed a bit unworthy. It is obvious that Ding Xiu is asked to praise their artist.

If Ding Xiu doesn't want to, he can put forward his opinion and ask the Emperor to replace him with someone else.

"What's wrong with the newcomers? Who is not a newcomer?" Ding Xiu criticized Zhao Liying with a serious face: "The role of Princess Yushu is already young, so it is not suitable to find an old actor to play it."

"Be more tolerant when treating young actors. It's not easy for everyone."

"Besides, since the Emperor brought her in, it means that her background or background is not small. Why offend people for no reason."

After reading the script, Ding Xiu knew that Princess Yushu and he were a couple. They had to work together on the crew for so long, so he would feel better if he found an actor who was more eye-catching.

As for poor acting skills, it's all trivial. No one is born to act.

Acting depends on the leader, whether it's a kissing scene, a sex scene, etc., he will take care of it when the time comes, and it won't be a big problem.

Sitting upright, Ding Xiu looked at Bai Bin's information carefully. Not to mention, he was quite beautiful, with fair skin and beautiful appearance, and an elegant and cool temperament, which is both ancient and modern.

The figure is also good, neither exaggerated nor mediocre.

This kind of figure is very suitable for being an actor. If the figure is too hot, it will limit your acting options and you will not be able to act in many movies.

For example, if a pure beauty in ancient costume puts on make-up and has a bulging front and back, she is so seductive that the audience will immediately go into a show.

The same goes for urban dramas. It is easier for actresses with slightly less exaggerated figures to play roles such as college students, working people, doctors, nurses, secretaries, farm girls, etc.

"Then let me talk about the second female lead, Zhang Meng." Hearing what Ding Xiu said, Zhao Liying was filled with respect. She could only say that he is indeed Brother Xiu, who can tolerate people who cannot be tolerated. If it were any other actor, hearing that his opponent is a Newcomers with no experience would have quit working long ago.

That is, he is willing to tolerate, accept, and support.

"Zhang Meng is in 1981, one year younger than you, brother Xiu, and has not been around for a long time. He participated in the Miss Universe pageant in 2004, won the championship in the China District Finals, and thus participated in the Miss Universe World Finals."

"I started filming in 2005. The works include My Lord's Ups and Downs, My Parents, Brothers and Sisters, Jigong's New Story, and Takejuro. They all play supporting roles."

"I've done a lot of acting in the past two years, but I haven't won any awards."

Ding Xiu held his chin and stared at Zhang Meng's picture on his laptop. To be honest, he was not as beautiful as Bai Bin. His chin was a bit pointed and his eyes were slightly charming. He was not as pure and charming as Bai Bin.

But in the circle, she is indeed considered a beauty. After all, she started out as Miss Universe, and there are not many ugly ones.

"Zhang Meng's situation is a little better than Bai Bin. She has been filming for a few years since her debut. She is no stranger to the crew and the studio. I have also prepared a few of her performance clips here. Brother Xiu, do you want to see them?"

"Forget it, stop reading, let's go to the next one."

It's just the second female lead, Ding Xiu has no interest in it, and it has little impact on him.

He doesn't have many scenes opposite Zhang Meng. The second female lead is called Yu Ji, and this girl doesn't belong to her.

"The third female lead is Chen Zihan, who is an acquaintance of Brother Xiu. She previously played the role of Yin Li in "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" and "The Condor Heroes" as Guo Fu. This time she plays Lu Zhi."

Chen Zihan, when Ding Xiu heard this name, the image of an actress in her twenties who loved to laugh, act seriously and work hard began to appear in her mind.

He was Song Qingshu in "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword". Because he didn't have any starring roles, he didn't know Chen Zihan after filming. The two knew each other as the Condor Heroes and had many starring roles, so they gradually became familiar with each other.

However, this kind of familiarity is only in the work environment. There is no connection between the two in private, and they are not even good friends.

"The fourth female lead, Jinsha, worked with Bao Jianfeng and Ni Jingyang when she was a freshman. She starred in the drama Sky at 18, playing the school beauty Lan Feilin."

"Later, I signed with Haidie Music and became a singer. I released my first album "Air" in 2005 and won many awards including Best Newcomer on the 6th Best Music Chart and Best Newcomer on the 3rd Southeast Hot Music Chart."

"The release of the second album last year was incredible, and two months later it won the Top Ten Golden Song Award on the original music pop chart..."

"Stop!" Ding Xiu interrupted Zhao Liying: "Does that mean this person has only acted in one play and spent the rest of the time singing?"

Another newcomer.

Bai Bin is a newcomer and has never acted before. Jinsha is also a newcomer and has only played a supporting role in one drama. Zhang Meng can only be regarded as a semi-professional actor because she became a monk halfway and has never studied acting. She has not been in the industry for a long time and has not acted much. He is the protagonist, and the role he plays is not important, just a supporting role.

The first female, the second female, the third female, the fourth female, two newcomers, and one semi-newcomer. Are these the big names and good actors that Cheng Long said?

"Um."

Zhao Liying nodded: "If you act well, you will sing, if you sing well, you will act. This is the case now, so does this Jinsha have to react to the film crew?"

"Forget it, she doesn't have many scenes, let's just make it work. Who are the other male actors?"

Ding Xiu didn't know who Jinsha was, but he knew that when the eighteen-year-old Tian Tian was filming Xiao Yuer and Hua Wuque, Ni Jingyang was the protagonist of that drama.

Times have changed, and Ni Jingyang, as the protagonist, has become cold. Jinsha has not yet become famous in the circle, and he will probably not become popular.

Jin Sha is the fourth female lead, so her role is Lu Su. She doesn’t have many roles. She will be offline after a few episodes. It may take up to half a month to film.

It's not necessary to react to the show for such a trivial matter.

If you really want to compare them, the problems with the first two are more serious.

"The second male lead, Zhang Shi, is an actor from Wanwan Province. He has been in the industry for 20 years. His first film was with the great director Hou Xiaoxian. He won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor, the Rotterdam Award for Best Actor in the Netherlands, and many subsequent works. Most of them have good reputation but low popularity.”

"Over the years, I have participated in major film and television dramas as a supporting role. I have also worked with Andy Lau, Liming and others."

"She is a bit older, but her acting skills are superb and she has a good reputation in the industry."

"This is good." Ding Xiu praised.

Twenty years after his debut, he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor, which shows that his acting skills are recognized. I have never heard of the Rotterdam Best Actor Award in the Netherlands. It is probably a second- or third-rate award, but he is the best actor at least.

Brother Cheng Long used his best efforts to cast a movie actor as his supporting actor.

Zhao Liying whispered: "The third male lead is Ren Quan. This one shouldn't need an introduction, right?"

Ren Quan, as famous as Ding Xiu, is one of the four major and minor students.

Of course, these four young and old students are very watery, and their gold content is far less accurate than the one selected by Southern Metropolis Daily. When they were evaluated back then, they were suspected of being a porcelain scholar.

From the current perspective, the other three tied together are not as popular as Ding Xiu alone.

Ren Quan has been around for a long time and has acted in many movies, including dozens of movies, big and small. He is Ding Xiu's senior, so logically speaking, we shouldn't say this about him.

But the fact is that Ren Quan’s works are not as good as Ding Xiuhong, and I am not as good as Ding Xiuhong. This is indisputable.

Ding Xiu smiled and said, "If I use four young and old students to match me, they can do it well."

A movie star and a top student all serve as green leaves for him. This weight is not light.

"That's it. No need to introduce the rest. Is there anything else?"

Female one, female two, female three, female four, male two, and male three are all known, and there is no need to understand the rest.

In fact, if the third and fourth female leads didn't have emotional scenes with him, he wouldn't even bother to understand.

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing." Zhao Liying patted her head and said, "The company has applied for a bank card for you. From now on, money will be transferred into it regularly, saying it is a share of the novel."

Ding Xiu's smile froze. For the first half of Zhao Liying's words, he thought that Lao Qin knew that his card was being kept by Gao Yuanyuan and specially issued a card for him to use.

Unexpectedly, an inexplicable novel share popped up. Why didn't he know that he had written a novel?

"What novel is divided into?"

Zhao Liying pointed to the mobile phone in Ding Xiu's hand: "It's the one you often look at, the ghost blowing the lamp."

"Didn't you buy the copyright and then sell it on an online platform? The share is electronic. The money is not much, 8,000 a month."

"But Sister Yang said that a publisher wants to publish this novel, and I want to ask your opinion on whether to publish it. If it is published, it will be no problem to make millions."

Jealousy made Zhao Liying look ferocious and her tone of voice was sour.

When Yang Siwei said this, his expression was even more ferocious than hers.

Ding Xiu just read a novel, and just for fun, he spent some money to hire the author. He won the copyright of the novel without spending much money.

As a result, there is now a publisher who wants to publish it, so how can this be justified?

"I remembered." Ding Xiu suddenly realized: "People in the group want to read the novel. Let me try it out and let them play it and read it second-hand. I asked the author to post the daily updated content to the novel platform so that everyone can read it."

"It's been a long time since this happened. I didn't expect that the royalties for the novel were still good, but there is still a publisher to publish it. I'm lucky."

"You tell Yang Siwei that you can publish it, and she can negotiate the price."

"Forget about the royalties card. I'll send you an account later. Where do you want Yang Siwei to go?"

After Zhao Liying left, Ding Xiu sent a QQ message to Zhang Muye, the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", telling him about the publication of the novel.

In a dark room in a rental house in Shanghai, Zhang Muye was typing on the keyboard. He saw the penguin head flashing in the lower right corner of the computer and ignored it. Instead, he clicked on it after typing a short plot in his brain.

Ding Xiu gave him a buyout price of fifty thousand words, and he updated six thousand words a day, sometimes eight thousand, or ten thousand yuan a month.

In a big city like Magic City, his income is considered a high salary.

Seeing the message from Ding Xiu, Zhang Muye smiled bitterly and sadly, and typed a reply: "I knew it right away. The publisher contacted me first, and I asked him to contact you."

The novel is a buyout, he does not have the copyright, and he has no say whether to publish it or not.

It would be a lie to say that I don't feel distressed when I pass by millions, but there is no other way, this is fate.

He had been serializing on the forum for a long time and didn't make a dime. He gave it all to book friends for free. It was Ding Xiuhui who recognized a hero, dug out his legacy, and offered him a high price to let him do it. This job I love.

People should know how to be grateful. Now that the novel is popular, he has no reason to feel wronged. At most, he can't sleep in the middle of the night and punches the bed board a few times with tears in his eyes.

Ding Xiu: "The novel is about to be published. Do you have any regrets?"

Zhang Muye: "I have no regrets. After the novel is published, my pen name will also become popular. I will accumulate fame invisibly. If I write novels in the future, it will attract many readers. This is a good thing."

I have definitely regretted it, but we are all adults, so forgetting it for a few seconds, living the present is the real thing.

After the novel is published, his name will definitely become popular. If he has good results, he may write another novel and it will be published.

Although he missed one million, the next million is not far away from him.

From now on, I won’t be bought out even if I die.

Ding Xiu: "Haha, anyone who encounters this kind of thing will feel unfair. It's normal. I just got the news that a publisher is going to publish Ghost Blowing Lamp."

"Also, I heard from my agent that this novel has a monthly royalties of 18,000 yuan on the novel platform. I don't like this small amount of money. Just give me a card number and the royalties will be yours."

Eighty thousand yuan is just a drop in the bucket to him, and sometimes it's just a meal or a piece of clothing.

I really don’t like it.

Giving the money to Zhang Muye just felt that this guy was a bit unlucky.

I have made millions, let others drink the soup, and feel more balanced.

Otherwise, because of this incident, this kid will have a knot in his heart, which will affect the quality of the novel.

Zhang Muye: "Brother Xiu is open, so I won't be polite. I'll treat you to dinner when you come to Magic City."

Ding Xiu: "Okay, I'll meet you for a drink when I have time."

After chatting with Ding Xiu for a while, both parties left their phone numbers and faced the computer again. Zhang Muye was in a much better mood, and the smile on his lips was no longer gone.

He can earn about 10,000 yuan from writing novels. Now that he adds the 18,000 yuan in royalties from the platform, he can still earn 20,000 yuan a month.

A proper social elite.

You can buy a house in Shanghai in less than two years.

Everything is so beautiful.

…

During the first month of the year, in previous years, Ding Xiu mostly went out with gifts to pay New Year greetings. This year, the situation has changed a bit, and more people came to visit to pay New Year greetings.

Even last year, he had to come to the door in person, but now people come by themselves.

The first person to come to pay New Year greetings was Jia Ling. Compared with last year, she was a little fatter and her face was rounder.

I heard that she is doing well now. She won the second prize in the professional category in the cross talk competition held by CCTV last year. Her career has improved. She often performs in small theaters and earns more than ten or two hundred thousand every year.

When Jia Ling came, Zhao Liying followed her and never left. Listening to her story, her eyes were filled with light.

Except envy is still envy.

They are both assistants, so the gap between them is not that big.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Ding Xiu finished his New Year greetings and started preparing for the Mythology crew.

First, set your makeup.

I tried on more than a dozen sets of clothes in one day and for a week, and ended up with more than 20 sets.

The hairstyle is constantly changing. One time it will reveal the forehead, another time it will have slanted bangs, another time it will be a dragon beard, and another time it will be a shaggy beggar's head.

The same goes for the face, sometimes with a beard, sometimes with a clean shave, and sometimes with a darker make-up.

After the makeup is set, the next step is preparation before joining the group, practicing horse riding and archery.

This is Ding Xiu's specialty and his best show. Although he hasn't ridden and shot for a long time, when he arrived at the racecourse and ran a few laps, the familiar feeling came back again.

After training for half a month, Ding Xiu felt that it was almost done and stopped continuing.

During this time, he also joined the China Equestrian Association and took the time to take a rider certificate.

If I didn't have time, I would also like to get a certificate for Bajiquan and Qijia Dao.
