This actor needs more money

After the premiere, Ding Xiu and Wu Jing accompanied the guests at the hotel.

One table after another toasted, but fortunately both of us were relatively good drinkers, otherwise we would have had to lie down under the table after the round.

There were a lot of female artists in attendance today, but Ding Xiu wasn't afraid of lying under the table after drinking too much, he was just afraid of lying on the bed.

The next day, under the auspices of the media, news spread that Langya was about to be released.

"Ding Xiu's ugly movie has a lot of support. I heard it's a martial arts movie."

"I was lucky enough to attend the premiere. The martial arts were really good and beautiful, but the plot was a bit weak, but it's still a movie worth watching."

"Highly recommended, punch to the flesh, this is what real men should watch."

"I won't go. It's not good to watch. There's no story line at all. The director is trying to make things up, the actors are not good at acting, and they rely entirely on martial arts scenes to support the scene."

"Whether it's good or not, I'll watch it first before talking about it. I've reserved tickets for May Day."

“Suitable for couples.”

Hong Kong Island is not the home court, so Ding Xiu doesn’t need to run much for publicity. He will be over after participating in a few media interviews and television interviews.

There are still a few days before May Day, and the Langya crew came to the mainland from Hong Kong Island.

As soon as he landed at Peking Airport, Wu Jing opened his hands, hugged the sky, and said with a smile: "It's better to be comfortable at home."

Ding Xiu nodded and said, "That's true."

I don’t have as many friends as I do enemies on Hong Kong Island, which is really uncomfortable.

When promoting the movie, some media and reporters were also armed with guns and sticks, and they were very arrogant. They made it clear that they supported Ip Man and criticized the wolf. If they were not afraid of the negative impact, they would really want to curse him with a few curse words.

Turning around, Wu Jing said to Lu Jingshan and the director behind him: "I'll ask the driver to take you to the hotel first, and pick you up at noon. After the movie is well promoted, I will take you all for a tour."

"Thank you, sorry for bothering Brother Jing."

"You're welcome, bye. If you need anything, call me anytime."

This place is not like Hong Kong, where Ding Xiu is enough to support the scene, so Wu Jing did not call too many people from the crew. Apart from him and Ding Xiu, there was only Lu Jingshan and another director.

After sending people to the car, Wu Jing and Ding Xiu got into another business car together.

"I'm a bit busy these days. Brother Xiu, please work harder."

"Little things."

"Mr. Qin said that TV stations, media, online portals, etc. are all in place for publicity. According to him, we are afraid that we will have to stay up all night."

"Isn't this bad?"

"Of course it's good, it's just a bit sad."

Wu Jing felt bitter.

This drama is a collaboration between him and Qin Chao Entertainment. He is familiar with it on Hong Kong Island, so the promotion is handed over to him. On the mainland, Qin Gang is familiar with it, so it is handed over to Qin Chao Entertainment.

Everyone divides their work and performs their duties.

But judging from the current results, his promotion on Hong Kong Island is a bit messed up.

The waves created were very small.

If it weren't for Ding Xiu's friends who helped support the platform, not many people would have known that the movie Langya was released on May Day.

The saddest thing is the film scheduling rate, which is very low, even less than half of Ip Man's.

There are several shows in the special midnight time slot, for ghosts to watch?

"The weak are preying on the strong, what's there to lament." Ding Xiu knew what Wu Jing was thinking and said calmly: "Ip Man's producer is Huang Baiming's Dongfeng Films, one of the four major entertainment companies in Hong Kong. It's normal that he can't handle it."

When it comes to Dongfeng Movies, not many people know about it, but when it comes to Huang Baiming, few people don't know about it.

In the 1960s, he entered the Hong Kong entertainment industry as a screenwriter. The screenwriter had the story of "The Wrong Train", "The Best Partner, Why Have I, A Lang".

After establishing a foothold in the screenwriting world, he immediately transformed into a director and opened a company. He has shot movies with box office exceeding 10 million, such as Afraid of Little Life, Happy Ghost, Gong Xi Fa Cai, etc.

While he was a director, he was also very addicted to acting. He often played the leading role. Not to mention, he was indeed knowledgeable about acting and his acting skills were quite good.

Screenwriter, director, actor, boss, all four professions have been played by him with great success, and he is a proper big shot in the film and television industry.

I usually collaborate with people like Leslie Cheung, Stephen Chow, Chow Runfa, and Donnie Yen.

This time, Ip Man, produced by his company, has not yet been released, but the film schedule is already full, which indirectly squeezes out the living space of other films.

As a result, the film schedule originally negotiated by Langya was reduced by several percentage points.

Ip Man's movie seems to be telling Ding Xiu and Wu Jing in this way that kung fu is useless, and being around requires power.

In this three-thirds of an acre of land, if it is a dragon, you have to sit down, and if it is a tiger, you have to lie down.

"I know I can't do it, but I'm just a little unwilling. Oh, Brother Xiu, I'm holding you back, I'm sorry."

Wu Jing felt a little guilty.

Ding Xiu smiled and said, "There is nothing to be sorry for. Just do your best. The next step is to finish the promotion in the mainland."

"Um!"

The film schedule in the Mainland is not as high as that in Hong Kong Island, but the number of viewers it faces is who knows how many times that of Hong Kong Island.

So from the beginning, Qin Gang discussed with Wu Jing to use the mainland as his home court.

On Hong Kong Island, just try your best, and the box office will be counted as much as you can. On the mainland, go all out, use connections if you have connections, use connections if you have connections, and strive to maximize the box office.

Time is tight and the task is heavy.

In the afternoon, the Langya crew began a promotional run, and the first stop was Peking Satellite TV.

"Hello everyone in the audience, I am the host Xie Nan, and I am honored to invite the Langya crew today, please!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Ding Xiu!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Wu Jing!"

"Hello everyone, I am Lu Jingshan!"

For this kind of interview, Ding Xiu and Wu Jing are both experienced. They know what effect the host wants, and they can handle it easily.

It's just that the newcomer Lu Jingshan is a bit jerky and reserved. Basically, whatever the host asks, she answers honestly, without understanding the humor and tact.

Fortunately, Wu Jing did not put his hope in her. How many mainland viewers know Lu Jingshan? We still have to rely on Ding Xiu to support the show.

Thinking of Ding Xiu, he turned to look over.

I just happened to see the profile of the female host.

He has permed short, ear-length hair, an oval face, and willow eyebrows. He looks very energetic and capable, talks eloquently, has good professional skills, and is good at chatting.

To be honest, after so many years in the industry, Wu Jing has seen many beauties, but Xie Nan cannot compare with those beauties.

But only he knows what is hidden behind the glamorous appearance of some beauties.

A woman who can become famous in Hong Kong Island does not have the silent support of a few men behind her.

Forefathers planted trees for future generations to enjoy the shade.

The road has been paved for you in advance and is very spacious.

The mainland entertainment industry is a bit better, it has not been so chaotic in recent years.

So when Wu Jing saw the female host in front of him, he didn't know why, but he felt a natural affection for her. Unknowingly, he moved his butt a little and got closer to her.

Xie Nan was still talking to Ding Xiu. When the conversation was almost finished, she turned around and saw Wu Jing sitting next to her, very close to each other.

I almost didn't make a sound.

Fortunately, he has good professionalism. He took a deep breath and raised a smile: "Brother Jing also started his career in martial arts movies, and he also won a martial arts championship. This time, he personally wields the Wolf Fang. What do you think about the martial arts scenes in this movie?" Do you want to say something?”

"Martial arts champion, that happened many years ago. I remember following my master to compete everywhere in the 1990s. I suffered a lot and suffered a lot. When I was training, if a movement was not standard, what I was waiting for was... With a sound, the cane came over..."

Xie Nan: "..."

Ding Xiu: "..."

What the hell are you talking about? You’re talking about something different. People are asking about the martial arts scene in Wolf Fang. Wu Jing kept talking about the scenery back then. Did he ask you?

And he talked more and more energetically, crossing his legs and smiling playfully.

"Ahem, Brother Jing is so awesome. It seems that today's success is no accident. I'm curious, why didn't you become the protagonist this time? Is it difficult to fight?"

"Everywhere, my success is not worth mentioning. It is all hard work and luck."

Unable to continue chatting, Xie Nan turned to Ding Xiu and said, "Brother Xiu, I heard that you have a lot of martial arts scenes. Are you tired?"

"Fortunately, it may be tiring for others, but for me it's almost a daily routine!"

Also a bird.

They are all self-proclaimed.

After the interview on the TV station, when Ding Xiu and Wu Jing walked out, Wu Jing had a smile on his lips from time to time.

Ding Xiu couldn't stand it: "What do you think of today's results?"

Wu Jing smiled shyly: "It's not bad. After all, it's the first time we've met. I just left her phone number. I'll treat her to dinner later. It'll be nice to get familiar with her. I have a hunch that I can win her."

Ding Xiu: "..."

"I'm specifically asking about the results of the interview. Who asked you about picking up girls?"

No wonder this guy was absent-minded the whole time, chatting and spanking with the host girl all the time, laughing and joking without any formality.

It turns out that I have taken a liking to someone else.

"Interview, what kind of interview?" Wu Jing asked: "Oh, Langya, do your best, it depends on fate. If I don't have time, I will talk to Xie Nan and see if I can be on her show again."

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask. Next time I film your scene, I'll be a dog!"

Wu Jing was poisoned. In order to pick up girls, he didn't care about the movie.

"Hey, Brother Xiu, it's serious."

Regardless of whether the movie is impossible, after all, so much money has been invested, but love cannot be given up. After finishing this work, he will live in Peiping for a while and communicate more with the beautiful host.

From what she said, I am very interested in martial arts. I would like to share my marksmanship with her when I have time.

…

For Langya, Qin Gang tried his best. In Peiping alone, interviews were arranged with two TV stations and more than a dozen media outlets.

In addition to Peiping, Hunan Satellite TV, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, and Magic City Satellite TV also did not let go, and they all ran around.

Two days before May Day, Langya held another premiere in Peking.

Many people came to support this time, including Fan Binbin, Ren Quan, Gao Yuanyuan, Qin Lan, Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Jizhong, Zhang Ziyi, Hu Jun, Liu Tao, Liu Yifei, Huang Xiaoming...

Unknowingly, Ding Xiu already had a wide network of contacts. He did not expect that these people would give him face just by calling them one by one.

Half of the entertainment industry came here.

Those who didn’t know thought it was some kind of award ceremony.

All it takes is a red carpet and a signature wall.

After watching the movie, the guests’ evaluations of the movie were better than the last.

Fan Binbin: "Brother Xiu, you are not interesting enough. If I had known it would be so wonderful, I would play the leading female role without getting paid. Remember to give it to me next time you have such an opportunity."

Ding Xiu: "Don't worry, if there is a chicken club, I will definitely give it to you."

Huang Xiaoming: "To be honest, I also want to make a movie. I am very interested in martial arts. The martial arts scenes in this movie are very exciting. When the time comes, I will book 50 scenes, just to give back to the fans and support Brother Xiu and Director Wu Jing."

Ding Xiu: "Sister Binbin, this is support!"

Fan Binbin: "I'll also guarantee fifty games."

Ding Xiu: "Sister Liu Tao?"

Liu Tao: "I don't have that much money, so thirty shows are just fun."

The promotion of Langya in the Mainland is in full swing, and half of the entertainment industry has come to support it. Even if the popularity is not high, some fans can't wait.

Ding Xiu, who was sitting in the front row, had also watched the finished film and was not interested in the current broadcast. After chatting to liven up the atmosphere, he turned around and saw Yang Mi with swollen cheeks. He immediately said to Yang Siwei beside him:

"Xiao Yang is so thoughtful that he still comes to support him after being hurt like this."

From his experience, this kind of injury usually results in missing teeth.

I don’t know if she fell while filming or if she was walking carelessly.

But no matter what the situation is, it’s very sincere to still come to support the premiere even though you are so swollen.

"She pulled it out herself." Speaking of this, Yang Siwei felt that Yang Mi was a ruthless person: "She auditioned for Li Shaohong's Dream of Red Mansions two days ago. People said her cheeks were too wide and they wouldn't give her a role."

"After I walked out of the interview room, the first thing she said to me was to pull out four teeth. She said it was to slim down her face."

Good guy, Ding Xiu is convinced.

Being cruel to others is not cruel, being cruel to yourself is truly cruel.

In order to meet the requirements of the crew, it is normal to take shortcuts, but everyone chooses in a different way. Some go back to study their acting skills, and some knock on the door of the assistant director or producer in the middle of the night.

It is really rare for a person like Yang Mi to be said to have wide cheeks and knock out four teeth when she comes back.

Ding Xiu himself couldn't do it.

If his acting skills are not good, he can figure it out. If the action scenes are difficult, he can work hard. But if his appearance is not good, he can't do anything about it.

He couldn't do it by knocking out four teeth for a role.

"This girl will be famous in the future."

"Well, who says it's not? I'm very optimistic about her."

Dream of Red Mansions is a big project, invested by China Film Group, produced by Han Sanye, and directed by Li Shaohong.

In order to find suitable actors, we held a Dream of Red Mansions actor selection contest last year and accepted several good people.

Yang Mi has a good sense. Even though she knew she would have to join the cast several months in advance and the role she played was not a big one, she still chose to audition without hesitation in order to win this opportunity.

Even had the teeth pulled out.

You know, Yang Mi is already somewhat famous now.

Not far away, Yang Mi was holding her chin with painful tears rolling down her cheeks. She had to stare at the ordering table to listen to what others were saying, fearing that questions would be asked of her later.

But her worries were a bit unnecessary, as no one asked her from beginning to end.

Suddenly, I felt even more aggrieved.

Fortunately, at the dinner, Yang Siwei introduced her to many people and showed her face in front of a bunch of seniors.

This trip was not in vain.
