This actor needs more money

After attending the premiere, Ding Xiu only stayed in Peking for two days, one day with Gao Yuanyuan and one day with Qin Lan.

The time is well allocated.

After all, I came here on leave. I had wasted a lot of time on Hong Kong Island and was doing publicity in Peiping. I took many days off.

On May Day, before the first day's box office came out, Ding Xiu and Zhao Liying rushed to the set of Mythology without stopping.

"Brother Xiu, I wish you a great box office success!"

"Thanks!"

"Brother Xiu, it's a big hit at the box office."

"Brother Xiu, I went to the cinema to watch Wolf Fang at noon. The filming was really good."

"Brother Xiu, your martial arts skills are really great. I heard that you can also do internal martial arts. Is that true? Can you help me with it someday?"

"Yes, it's not just one hand, it can be done with both hands, as long as you can grasp it and endure the hardships."

"Okay, I can definitely eat it."

"Don't complain about being tired, just don't complain about pain."

Back on the set, Ding Xiu received blessings from his fellow cast members, and he politely expressed his gratitude to them one by one.

There is also a movie theater here in Hengdian. Bai Bin still wants to learn Kung Fu from him after watching Lang Ya. Ding Xiu doesn't hide his secrets and is ready to teach him step by step if he has the chance.

Back on the set, Ding Xiu didn't take any rest. He put on makeup and filmed the same day. He was gone long enough and delayed a lot of work. As expected, the next few days were all his scenes.

"Props, props, bring the phone to Brother Xiu."

"What props do you need? I can just use my mobile phone for this scene."

There is a scene in the myth where Yi Xiaochuan and Princess Yushu use their mobile phones to have an affair and record videos of each other to relieve each other of their lovesickness, ahem! It was a serious video.

After Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao broke up, Gao Yao stopped pretending and exposed it directly in front of Qin Shihuang, saying that the mobile phone could record videos, which contained short video evidence of Yi Xiaochuan and Princess Yushu.

Qin Shihuang was so furious that his wife was recording short videos of other men behind his back. How the hell could this be done?

So, Zhao Gao asked for his cell phone and prepared to play the short video on the spot. Unfortunately, his wish failed and his cell phone just ran out of power and shut down.

The mobile phone props used in this scene are real. Ding Xiu’s mobile phone and protective case are all brand new. When you open it, there is a screen saver of Gao Yuanyuan’s The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword with him.

The filming officially started. After recording a video of himself, Ding Xiu gave his phone to Bai Bin.

She plays Princess Yushu. In the early stage of the scene, she looked through the videos recorded by Yi Xiaochuan on her mobile phone, "clumsily" unlocked them, and clicked on the photo album.

Hundreds of photos popped up.

In an instant, Bai Bin's eyelids twitched and his cheeks turned slightly red.

The green and white fingertips clicked on the first one and played the scene of Yi Xiaochuan.

Ding Xiu is the same, taking pictures of all kinds of scenes.

After seeing the look in Bai Bin's eyes, Ding Xiu also reacted and felt panicked.

When the upper phone broke, he didn't even bother to repair it. He was afraid that the contents in the photo album would be exposed, so he simply changed his phone and took the memory card with him.

He hadn't paid much attention just now, but when he saw Bai Bin's unnatural eyes, he realized there was something inside.

What a sin!

I can't stay with this crew anymore. If that doesn't work, I'll try to live in a city instead.

Bai Bin was watching videos on it, while Ding Xiu was absentmindedly thinking about it below. It wasn't until Zhang Shi spoke that he came back to his senses.

"Nonsense, Your Majesty, I have never heard of a mobile phone. This is clearly a mirror. Look at it, how clearly does it reflect people?"

"Really? It's indeed quite clear."

The actor who plays Qin Shihuang is named Zang Jinsheng. He is an experienced actor who has been in the industry for more than 20 years. He has very good acting skills. He has previously played the role of Living Buddha Jigong, Lu Zhishen in Water Margin, and Swordsman.

Because they had met each other in Swordsman many years ago, although they were not familiar with each other, Ding Xiu was closer to him than ordinary actors, and they were not so unfamiliar.

It is worth mentioning that although he is twenty years older than Ding Xiu, this uncle who is approaching his fifties has only graduated from graduate school two years ago.

Huang Bo couldn't help but admire him after hearing his story.

The difference is that Zang Jinsheng majored in cultural and arts management at Peking University. It can be seen that he is also older and is ready to retreat behind the scenes, either to work as a civil servant or to become a boss.

In the early years, actors had their own establishments, and Zang Jinsheng's path was obviously to become a civil servant.

See you later, maybe he will be a national first-class actor.

Ding Xiu also agreed. An actor can't act for a lifetime, so he should leave a way out. However, he is not envious. He cares more about making money, enjoying fame, wealth and beautiful women than a title.

"Zhao Gao, what else do you have to say?"

"What crime should be committed by falsely accusing my beloved concubine and beloved general?"

…

Ding Xiu's scenes were filmed one after another, as if the director wanted to return to all the work he had left these days.

By the time Ding Xiu finished his work, it was already past twelve o'clock.

Wiping his sweat with a towel, he hung it around his neck. Ding Xiu took a sip of water and said to Zhao Liying, "Where did Bai Bin's scenes go while I'm gone these days?"

"Wait a minute, I'll show you the notice sheet."

Zhao Liying rummaged through her bag and quickly took out the notice list. When she came to the set today, the assistant director gave her the notice for Ding Xiu's filming in the coming week.

It's just that Ding Xiu was busy filming and never stopped, so she didn't have a chance to say anything.

"So many?" After a casual glance, Ding Xiu was surprised.

In the next seven days, he will have a full schedule of scenes. The literary and drama team will finish filming the martial arts scene, and there will be night performances for several days.

They even stopped letting people sleep.

Moreover, he also discovered that Bai Bin's dancing scene should have been filmed, but unfortunately, he didn't have good eyesight.

He also wanted to see Bai Bin dancing in ancient costume.

Zhao Liying laughed dryly: "I can't help it, we ask for too much leave."

In fact, he was supposed to come back after the premiere, but Ding Xiu insisted on staying for two more days, otherwise there would be so many scenes.

"By the way, Brother Xiu, the first-day box office results of Langya are out." Zhao Liying thought of something and said excitedly: "What's your guess?"

From twelve o'clock last night to twelve o'clock today, it is exactly one day.

Box office statistics take time, and she only received the message from Yang Siwei a few minutes ago, when Ding Xiu hadn't gotten off work yet.

"My little kid, are you still guessing?"

"Hehe, Hong Kong Island has 2.2 million on the first day, and Mainland has 5 million."

Ding Xiu raised his eyebrows: "It's not bad."

It was expected, nothing surprising.

There are many movie fans on Hong Kong Island. Even if Ding Xiu is somewhat famous there, in the environment of low-ranking movies, it won’t cost much to fill the seats.

Around two million, this is the data obtained by the company in advance.

The mainland box office was 5 million, which was a bit different from the company’s estimate, but it was more.

But considering the number of celebrities who booked the venue, I was relieved.

No specific results can be seen from the first day's box office results. The situation will become clear after the weekly box office is released.

Without thinking too much, Zhao Liying said happily: "More than 7 million on the first day, and I will get my money back in the next few days. I will make a lot of money this time."

She knows that the movie box office needs to be divided into accounts. In the end, only one-third will be obtained, so if it exceeds three times the investment cost, it will be a return.

The investment in this drama was 8 million, and the box office revenue of 24 million would be enough to make it back.

There was indeed a lot of pressure on the crew at the beginning.

However, judging from the current situation, the return of capital is a certainty.

It was more than 7 million on the first day, and it could be repaid in three or four days. How could it be 70 to 80 million in the end?

Make a fortune.

"You will definitely make money, but not much."

As the company's major shareholder, Ding Xiu knows much more than Zhao Liying.

The company invested four million, and Wu Jing invested four million.

Not all of the company's four million dollars belonged to the company, but the two bosses also invested money together. Qin Gang only invested two million yuan.

Putting aside the cost, the share you can get in the end is not particularly large.

The second time I did something so big, I was still a bit timid. If I had done it for five million, the gains would have been much greater, but the corresponding risks would have been greater.

"It's already a lot." Zhao Liying clasped her hands on her chest, her eyes full of little stars.

If she could make a million in this life, she would be so happy that she couldn't sleep.

But the company made a million dollars just by investing in one movie. In her opinion, it was very impressive and it was definitely a huge profit.

Ding Xiu laughed and shook his head, but didn't say anything. We are all in different realms, so we can't talk to each other.

"How is Ip Man's box office performance?"

"Um..." Zhao Liying scratched her head, not knowing what to say. After thinking about it, she finally said, "I don't know, Sister Yang didn't say anything."

In fact, she said it, but she didn't want to hit Ding Xiu.

The box office of Ip Man was much higher than that of Langya, and its momentum was so strong that it surpassed Langya by several blocks on the first day.

"That's it, come out and talk to me later."

Ding Xiu didn't pay much attention, he just asked casually.

…

In mid-May, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

The entire crew changed locations and came to the Northwest to film.

Ding Xiu faced the hardest and most tiring job after joining the cast, filming circus and war scenes.

The circus is not good to watch because it is easy to lose sight of the camera when the horses are running. A scene often needs to be shot several times. A scene can be shot in one afternoon. It is considered fast.

Ding Xiu wore armor on the outside and short sleeves on the inside. In order to dissipate heat, he even made the armor leaky.

Every time after he finished filming the circus, as soon as he took off his clothes, many female staff members on the scene would give him drooling looks.

The figure is really good, with well-defined muscles, obvious lines, full of strength, and handsome, I can't help but want it.

On this day, Ding Xiu was eating watermelon under the umbrella. It was a very cool life.

Not far away, the extras were eating melon bite after bite.

The fruit was invited by Ding Xiu, who was in a good mood.

Wolf Fang has been released for two weeks and has achieved good results. It has already sold over 12 million people on Hong Kong Island and is expected to reach around 15 million in the end.

There's no way, the traffic dropped significantly after May Day, so it's pretty good to have this popularity.

There is still no grudge between capitalists and money. Seeing that Langya is improving, they have increased their film schedules.

The situation on the mainland is better than that on Hong Kong Island. The current box office is 56 million. It is predicted that it will be more than 10 million in the last two weeks. It is not a big problem.

70 million for the mainland and 15 million for Hong Kong Island, adding up to more than 80 million.

Invest 8 million and get more than 80 million, a tenfold return.

Zhao Liying's guess was right. This wave of profits was indeed huge.

However, it is Ip Man who makes more money. Whether it is the Hong Kong box office or the mainland box office, both are higher than Wolf Fang. The two families have never stopped quarreling since the release.

Often in front of the media, you would choke me, and I would choke you, and both sides would talk in a sarcastic and arrogant way.

They called each other's names several times and almost started to fight, leaving the crowd in shock.

Fans, not to be outdone, rushed to support the event online and were noisy.

There are all kinds of attack methods. Some people say that Langya's martial arts scenes are unscientific. Some people say that the story of Ip Man's movie is wrong and all made up. Anyway, it's all there.

"Brother Xiu, director Wu Jing's phone number."

Ding Xiu squinted his eyes while eating watermelon. Zhao Liying saw an incoming call on her cell phone and gave a reminder.

Taking the phone, Ding Xiu asked: "I'm filming soon. If you have something to say, talk quickly. If you have anything to say, let it go. No need to talk about borrowing money. Drinking is OK."

Over there, Wu Jing was not angry at all when he heard this. He knew that the more familiar he was with Ding Xiu, the more this guy would talk like this.

If one day he talks politely to you, then you should pay attention.

"Brother Xiu, something big has happened. Donnie Yen is sorry for you."

Ding Xiu frowned: "Tell me more specifically."

"Didn't we do many interviews before? One of them talked about martial arts. He said in front of reporters that there are martial arts champions all over the street and it's not a big deal."

Ding Xiu: "..."

"Isn't this talking about you? What does it have to do with me?"

He is not a martial arts champion, Wu Jing is.

Wu Jing: "Brother Xiu, who doesn't know that we are wearing the same pair of pants? Didn't he just mean you when he said it? And it was at this stall. He clearly wanted to attract the media's attention and increase the popularity of his Ip Man."

After Ding Xiu finished eating the watermelon, he touched his mouth and said, "This is true."

Don't look at the two families quarreling a lot. In fact, everyone knows that it is just for the popularity of the movie and to attract the audience's attention.

But this time, Universe Dan went a bit too far. He said that the streets are full of martial arts champions. Where are the streets full of martial arts champions?

Let’s not talk about actual combat ability, but in terms of martial arts, it is very difficult to win a martial arts championship, because no one who can compete on stage has been practicing martial arts since childhood and has been practicing martial arts for more than ten years.

Wu Jing is a spearman champion. He may have lost count of the number of times he stabbed a tree with his spear every day when he was a child.

In order to practice my hand stability, I put my head on the gun head and turned it around. After a few minutes, my hand was shaking.

If you want to win a martial arts championship, it's not just about talking about it.

On the other side of the phone, Wu Jing said: "I suggest that we go to Hong Kong Island to fuck him. Can't he beat ten of them? Let's do ten of them. Whichever martial arts school dares to stand out will be the one to do it."

There is a pretentious line in Ip Man. When facing an opponent who had a good life in his childhood, the protagonist Ip Man said that he would fight ten of them.

Wu Jing himself felt that Ding Xiu could beat Donnie Yen ten times with one hand.

Ding Xiu: "..."

"You put it lightly. I'm really afraid that I won't be able to go back to the mainland after the fight. I'll get sacked while walking on the road when it gets dark."

It is a lie to say that he is afraid of being put in a sack. Ding Xiu has never been afraid of anyone. He just rushed over for such a trivial matter. There is no need.

He can't leave for now, he's filming a movie here.

"What should we do?" Wu Jing asked, "Just let him be arrogant like this?"

"Of course not. I'll call Zhen Zidan and ask."

After hanging up the phone, it didn't take long for Ding Xiu to find Zhen Zidan's phone number. He was not involved in the Hong Kong circle, but he knew a lot of people in the Hong Kong circle, such as Cheng Xiaodong and Yuan Bing. Among the contacts of these people, the most common ones were artists. Telephone.

"Brother Zidan, I heard that you want to practice with me?"
