This actor needs more money

In April, Langya, which was completed last year, will be released on May Day. Due to the promotion period, Ding Xiu needs to take time off, not just one or two days.

In order to catch up with the work schedule, the director began to shoot a large number of his scenes.

We started shooting at eight o'clock in the morning and lasted until twelve o'clock in the evening.

In the evening, when the extras got off work, Ding Xiu didn't take off his makeup after dinner. He took a break and went to the palace to continue filming.

Filming interior scenes tonight.

The opponent actor is named Zhang Shi, and he plays the role of Gao Yao. No, his name is now Zhao Gao.

Since it was not the first day of filming together, Ding Xiu was familiar with the actor and was very polite to him.

"Teacher Zhang, are you here so early?"

Zhang Shi had already arrived when Ding Xiu arrived, and there was still some time before filming. He held the script in his hand, and walked around the hall while reciting a few words from time to time.

With Zhang Shi's ability, it is certainly not a matter of memorizing lines temporarily. For such an old actor, the lines are already memorized before the camera is turned on.

I still read it now, mostly to change the words.

Screenwriters are not omnipotent, and sometimes screenwriters may not have as deep a understanding of their characters as actors.

Actors like Zhang Shi and others often have temporary lines due to different scenes and different emotions. There were several times when Ding Xiu almost missed the line.

"This scene is a bit emotional. Come here in advance to get a feel for it." Zhang Shiwen said with a smile, holding the script behind his back.

Ding Xiu said: "Do you want me to help you?"

"Thank you then."

Ding Xiu is his rival actor. If the two of them can perform the scene several times before starting shooting to find the right scale and rhythm, the effect will be much better after the official shooting starts.

This is better than figuring it out on your own.

Just because it required acting, not just dialogue, and it took a lot of time, Zhang Shi was embarrassed to mention it to Ding Xiu, and he had no obligation to help.

Now that Ding Xiu has mentioned it, that’s even better.

"What a big deal, come on."

In front of the monitor, director Jiang Jiajun was watching how to direct the camera through the camera lens to adjust the angles. When he saw Ding Xiu and Zhang Shi acting, he didn't pay much attention.

If an actor can work hard on his own, it will be much easier for him as a director.

"You are right. I have fallen. You can scold me now."

"Why did I scold you?"

"Okay, that's great. Then you brought me here. Have you ever thought about taking me back? They are bullying me here just because I have no power."

"You are amazing, everyone loves you! What the hell is this place, a broken place."

"I just want to chase higher step by step. I want to be Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people..."

Ding Xiu doesn't have many lines, just a few sentences, and mainly facial expressions. Seeing his former uncle become what he is now, he needs to show regret, regret, and hatred for the iron.

The one who had more scenes was Zhang Shi. This scene was more difficult for him than Yi Xiaochuan. He went from being arrogant at the beginning to becoming angry after being hit by Yi Xiaochuan.

"Teacher Zhang, did you change this line yourself?"

After the first pass, Ding Xiu knew that Zhang Shi had changed the lyrics again, which was different from what he knew.

"Changed a few sentences." Zhang Shi nodded and said with a frown: "I think the original words are a bit bland and fail to express Zhao Gao's psychological changes."

Ding Xiu said: "The original lines are indeed a bit flat, but you haven't changed much now. I think it's still a bit not strong enough."

Zhang Shi's eyes lit up: "Tell me carefully."

Regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not, Ding Xiu sat on the wooden steps: "Yi Xiaochuan is the protagonist. There are so many people who have helped him along the way. He has never suffered anything or suffered anything."

"He doesn't understand the pain of Gao Yao being cut off from his descendants. He doesn't understand the pressure of Gao Yao being beaten, tortured, and walking on the edge of life and death every day."

"In this case, he still wants to persuade Gao Yao to be generous. It's good that Gao Yao didn't give him two words. So Gao Yao here must be angry and sad."

"The only person he cares about in this world is Yi Xiaochuan. He thinks the one who understands him is also Yi Xiaochuan. He has done many bad things and has sorry for many people, but he has not sorry for Yi Xiaochuan."

"The person who loves me the most hurts me the most. Wouldn't it be better if there were some tears in the roar of the high-ranking officials here?"

Sitting next to Ding Xiu, Zhang Shi said thoughtfully: "It makes sense. Gao Yao feels uncomfortable. No one can tell him, and he has to be criticized by his only friend. He feels sad deep down. He is suffering."

"Tell me, how should the lines be changed?"

Ding Xiu thought for a moment, put himself into the role of Gao Yao, and stood up after a while: "Let's switch this time, I will play the role of Gao Yao."

"Okay!" Zhang Shi said excitedly.

After Ding Xiu gathered his emotions for a few seconds, he gave a thumbs up and said word by word: "You are amazing, you are noble, can you scold me now?"

This expression seems to say, who saved your life, who seduced Qin Shihuang's little wife, and who risked beheading to deliver the news to you.

You have made enough money, you have beautiful women, you are living a good life, and now you are scolding me?

Zhang Shi yelled: "Why did I scold you?"

"Okay, that's great. You are amazing. You brought me here. Have you ever thought about taking me back? Let me tell you, I don't want to go back."

When they first came to this world, both he and Yi Xiaochuan tried to find a way back, but since Yi Xiaochuan hugged Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's thighs and tasted the salty and sweet taste of Princess Yushu, this boy never thought about it again. go back.

Now that he has mixed up, he doesn't want to go back to modern times and be a cook.

"Do you know what kind of bullying I suffered here?"

"Do you know what kind of bullying I suffered here?"

Ding Xiu said the same thing twice in a row. The second time he was even more excited. He raised his finger and said, "Just because I have no money and power, I am so disabled!"

"You're amazing. Everyone loves you. What a crappy place, crappy place, crappy place."

Speaking of this, Ding Xiu was already very excited.

In order to save Da Qin, Yi Xiaochuan personally led a team to kill a little man who had not yet risen. That man was called Zhao Gao.

When a person is killed, he thinks that everything is fine and his destiny has changed. He turns to his good brother Gao Yao in the palace and is given the name Zhao Gao because of his promotion.

This is the real Zhao Gao.

Yi Xiaochuan collapsed.

He can kill other people named Zhao Gao, but he doesn't know them anyway, so he will kill them. The man in front of him is his uncle, who also saved his life and traveled with him from modern times.

So he came here today to persuade Zhao Gao, who had just been promoted.

But how could Zhao Gao listen to him? He is Zhao Gao, a famous figure in history. This is the pace of takeoff. As long as he is more steady in the future, the entire Da Qin will not be in his own hands.

Originally, he wanted to take his good brother Yi Xiaochuan to take off together, but unexpectedly, Yi Xiaochuan persuaded him in turn, saying that he had forgotten his original intention and was blinded by interests.

Fuck you!

You fell in love with Qin Shihuang's little wife, and I didn't even say you were lustful.

Turning around, Ding Xiu walked up the stairs, shouting hoarsely every step of the way: "I just want to catch up to the top step by step, step by step, step by step."

Turning around and facing Zhang Shi, he raised his fingers above his head and shouted: "I want to be Zhao Gao!"

"good!"

In front of the monitor, director Jiang Jiajun suddenly shouted.

He didn't pay attention to Ding Xiu and the others at first, but as Ding Xiu's voice got louder and louder, he glanced at them a few times, and he didn't look away after that.

This is the Zhao Gao he wants.

Why did Zhao Gao become so unscrupulous in the later period and had no conscience at all?

Only when everyone is separated from his relatives and has no worries can he completely open the cage of desire.

At this time, Zhao Gao has revealed his claws and has the potential to bite people.

"This is a good performance." The director's studio was a bit far away, and Zhang Shi didn't hear the director's voice, but after Ding Xiu finished his performance, his expression was the same as the director's.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​changing it to this?"

"I didn't think about the lines at all." Ding Xiu breathed out and came out of Zhao Gao's emotions: "I just put myself into it and imagined what I would say if I were Zhao Gao."

If he were Zhao Gao, he would definitely be the most powerful Zhao Gao.

If you are a friend, come with me. I will help you show off and help you fly. It’s okay if you don’t come. Don’t block me, or don’t blame me for killing you.

Zhang Shi recalled Ding Xiu's words just now, thought about it for a few seconds, and then said, "You young people are still brave."

He is getting older. Even though he won the Best Actor Award when he was young, he has no career ambitions. His current state is that he has only one foot in the entertainment industry.

Because his ambition for fame and fortune is not strong, it is hard to imagine what Zhao Gao is like when he is devoted to his career.

Now that Ding Xiu has done something, he has a track record.

"I won't tell you anymore. I'll write down the words and then think about the performance."

Ding Xiu is in the right shape, but his acting skills are not as good as him, and he can be better in many places.

"You're busy, call me if you need anything."

Without disturbing Zhang Shi, Ding Xiu found a place to sit down and waited for the machine to be adjusted to start shooting.

He has seen many people like this who are obsessed with drama. When they are addicted to the role, they are happier than discovering a new world.

"Click!"

"Pass!"

"Change the camera position and continue taking the next picture."

After the filming officially started, Zhang Shi explained to everyone what it means to be a movie king. The lines were still the same as what Ding Xiu said before, but his acting skills were much better than Ding Xiu's.

His demeanor, tone of voice, and body language are all at textbook level.

"Teacher Zhang is amazing, this part is amazing!"

"Everywhere, this was all modified by Ding, and I acted according to him."

"Teacher Zhang, you are being humble. I still know how I will act."

"You were in the opposite role before, but I'm in the main filming now. It's different, it's normal. If the position were changed, you would have performed better than me."

The veteran actor understands people better and is not complacent at all because of a good performance. Instead, he praises Ding Xiu and praises him.

When Ding Xiu played Zhao Gao, he was playing opposite roles. There were no requirements, as long as he could perform, it would be fine. When it came to filming, it would be 100% true that the effect would be better if it was a direct shot.

So when he said that Ding Xiu acted well, he was sincere.

Of course, if you can perform better than yourself in another position, that's just putting it mildly.

Acting skills need to be polished and studied. He has been in the industry for so many years. If he is compared to Ding Xiu, then there is no need to mess around.

…

It was already twelve o'clock in the evening when the scene was finished. After taking off his makeup, Ding Xiu got into the RV and headed to the hotel.

In the car, Zhao Liying stood behind Ding Xiu, massaging his shoulders and reporting on tomorrow's itinerary.

"We will arrive in Hong Kong before noon tomorrow. We will rest for two hours in the afternoon. We will go to the theater for the premiere after two o'clock. There will be a dinner after six o'clock. We will need two suits in total tomorrow. I have prepared them. Do you want to take a look? like or not."

"Don't watch anymore."

"The manuscript for dealing with reporters is on the table. Brother Xiu, do you have time to take a look?"

"Don't read it. Read it to me and I'll listen."

"Mr. Ding, Ip Man and Langya are released at the same time. Are you confident that you can beat them? Answer: It's inappropriate to say that they are all peers. The audience can watch whatever they like. I hope everyone will support domestic films."

Squinting his eyes, Ding Xiu, who was enjoying the massage, opened his eyes: "Is Ip Man also released on May Day?"

He was no longer sleepy when he mentioned this. It was because of Ip Man that he challenged the eight major martial arts schools, but he didn't expect to bump into each other again.

"Well, it will be released on May Day, and there will be a lot of publicity."

"Then my answer will change and I will say whether I can survive the fight. Haven't you already seen it?"

Zhao Liying clicked her tongue: "Isn't this too offending?"

What she wanted to say was that it was too crazy.

Although he is telling the truth, it is easy to offend people if he says this in front of reporters.

"Don't you understand? Langya has little publicity. If we don't take the opportunity to create a wave of popularity, where will the box office come from? If it doesn't work, I will go to Wing Chun to learn more."

The investment in Langya is too small. Putting aside the production cost, the publicity fee is pitifully low, so just spend it as much as you can.

After all, this wave is invested by the company, and he has a share of the company's money. If the box office is good, he will also make money.

I really can’t make another appointment with the Eighth Martial Arts School.

Zhao Liying: "..."

It can be heard that Ding Xiu is very serious and it is something he can do.

The next day, we arrived in Hong Kong Island.

After arriving in Hong Kong Island, he had lunch and took a nap. At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ding Xiu came to the cinema to attend the premiere. He and Wu Jing greeted the guests on the left and right, and the heroine Lu Jingshan followed behind and smiled together.

"Sister Rong, thank you for your support. Don't leave for a while. Let's play mahjong tonight and I'll set off some cannons for you."

"Sister Fen, please come inside, Zhang Jin, and have a few drinks tonight."

"Thank you, Brother Cheng Long. I won't come back until I'm drunk."

"Director Cheng, thank you for your hard work."

"Brother Bing, didn't you say you couldn't come? Thank you, thank you."

There were many people who came to cheer, including local snakes such as Chen Farong, Cai Shaofen, Cheng Long, Cheng Xiaodong, Yuan Bing, Yuan Hua, etc., and some were friends of Wu Jing.

But Wu Jing has relatively few friends.

Standing by the door, Wu Jing's smile almost froze, and he felt a little sad.

He has been involved in the Hong Kong community in the past few years, but he doesn't have as many friends as Ding Xiu, who has never been involved in the Hong Kong community.

In the final analysis, he is not popular enough.

In the entertainment industry, it’s always been about who is popular and who plays with whom.

Ding Xiu is well-known, has worked with many big names, and is young. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has a bright future. Anyone who meets him is willing to support him.

It was almost time, and everyone who was supposed to come had arrived. Ding Xiu and Wu Jing returned to the theater.

After a few simple greetings, the movie started.

In the restaurant, there were mapo tofu and scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the table. Ding Xiu ate them with great gusto. In front of the counter, a young woman was also shopping and greeted the boss enthusiastically.

The camera zooms out and the two are in the same frame.

People in the theater didn't know what this scene meant, but Ding Xiu, Wu Jing, and Lu Jingshan knew that this scene actually corresponded to the last scene of the movie.

The screen flashed again, showing a commercial ferry churning on the sea.

Director, starring, supporting actors... red names kept emerging.
