This actor needs more money

Ding Xiu took the trophy and walked off the stage. After returning to his seat, he said to Huang Xiaoming: "It seems I'm in for a treat."

"It's necessary. I won't come home until I'm drunk tonight." Huang Xiaoming forced a smile.

"Come together tonight." Ding Xiu said to Sun Li.

Sun Li nodded: "Okay."

Best Actor is followed by Best Actress, and she is also nominated, but her chances are slim.

Sure enough, after a song and dance performance, the award presenter took a small card and announced the best actress, and the winner was Liu Ruoyin.

Sun Li's new Shanghai beach missed the chance.

It can be seen with the naked eye that the energy has dropped a lot, and the whole person is not as energetic as before.

Ding Xiu patted her thigh gently and comforted: "There is still a chance at the Golden Eagle Festival next year, don't panic, I believe in your ability."

The Golden Eagle Festival will be held every two years. This year, the Magnolia and Feitian Awards will be held at the same festival. However, the Feitian Awards are held at the beginning of the year and have already passed.

Next October, the Golden Eagle Festival lottery will be held, and there will be another lottery draw in New Shanghai.

Sun Li tried her best to calm down her mood, and said with an elegant smile: "It's okay, I'm lucky to get it, but I'm going to lose my life."

Ding Xiu's words of comfort are of no use. New Shanghai can apply for the Golden Eagle Festival next year, and other works shortlisted this time can also apply, not to mention no one knows what hit TV series will appear next year.

Generally speaking, if you don’t get a prize in the first round, it won’t be realistic in the second round.

Tonight, at the Magnolia Awards, Ding Xiu is undoubtedly the biggest winner. Before he goes out, press releases about him are already flying all over the sky.

Yang Siwei's side is full of media interviews and advertising endorsements, and the phone calls for script invitations are overwhelming.

In the evening, after the Magnolia Award Ceremony was over, Ding Xiu set up a few tables in the hotel and invited people he knew from the industry to have dinner, including some whom he had only met a few times.

He also refused to refuse anyone who came to propose a toast.

"Old Chen, long time no see. What have you been busy with recently?"

"Hey, what else can I be busy with? Filming."

"I'm sorry, I won the Best Actor award from you this time, so you can only condescend to another time."

"There's no next time. This is my work two years ago. This is it."

"Sin, sin, sin."

"Haha, I'm just kidding. This thing depends on luck and the judges. It doesn't matter what we say. In fact, even if I don't win, my chances of winning the prize are not great."

Whether it is the Magnolia Award, the Feitian Award, or the Golden Eagle Award, they are now held every two years, and the registration requirements are also for works released within the last two years.

You cannot apply for more than two years.

Otherwise, it would be outrageous for a play to be submitted every year.

If Sun Li could still make a comeback through next year's Golden Eagle Festival, Chen Qi was completely beaten to death and there is no chance of a comeback.

Ding Xiu couldn't bear the thought of Chen Qi being there for the last time.

It's not easy for a young actor. There is no big agency to support him, so he has to audition for roles by himself. He has to work for hundreds of crews a year and earn a salary of 18,000 yuan.

If you want to be famous, you can only survive until the day you win the award and you will become famous.

Unfortunately, as soon as Chen Qi showed his head, Ding Xiu pushed him down.

"Director Gao, I'd like to toast you. Remember to call me next time you have a scene. Just give me a call and I'll be on call."

"Hey, your kid's salary has skyrocketed. I'm afraid I won't be able to afford you next time."

"That's right, I'll give you a preferential price."

There were many places to socialize today, so Ding Xiu didn't catch Chen Qi chatting alone. Although he felt a little guilty for winning the award, it was only for a few seconds. The award was given by the judges and had nothing to do with him.

Everyone competes based on their strength, and winning or losing is normal.

Even happier than Ding Xiu is director Gao Xi. He didn't win the award himself, but his actors won the award for "Sight Emperor". This was also an affirmation for him, and it would be a success if he spoke out.

After drinking for more than three hours, Ding Xiu returned to the hotel with the support of Zhao Liying. He fell asleep without even looking at his phone.

It was noon when I woke up the next day.

After taking a shower and eating, Zhao Liying gave him her phone.

"Sister Yuanyuan and Sister Xiaolan called you. I knew you hadn't woken up yet and asked me not to disturb you. Mr. Qin and Sister Yang from the company both called to greet you. Sister Yang said you would call her back as soon as you woke up. , In addition, Fan Binbin, Brother Huang Bo, Brother Bao Qiang... they have all called you."

"The other text messages were about wishing you to win the prize, but I took the liberty to reply. They were just pretentious words. Brother Xiu, do you want to check them again?"

"No need." Ding Xiu just glanced at the text message, and Zhao Liying's reply was all about thanking him, saying thank you for drinking later, thanking him for his recognition, and thanking him for the opportunity to have dinner together.

The person who sent the text message didn't expect anything in return. Generally speaking, just reply. It doesn't matter what you say, as long as you don't curse.

Opening the address book, Ding Xiu first called Gao Yuanyuan and Qin Lan. It was more than an hour after the call was completed, and then he called Yang Siwei.

"Xiao Yang, I, Ding Xiu..."

Yang Siwei's side was mainly about work. There were several endorsements that required him to go back and sign them. The filming had to be completed within a week. The time was tight and the tasks were heavy.

Without any hesitation, Zhao Liying booked the nearest flight. Ding Xiu returned to Peiping and went home after finishing the contract at the company. Gao Yuanyuan was wearing home clothes and playing with her laptop in the living room.

When he looked up, he saw Ding Xiu. He didn't put away the computer and continued to play with her.

Ding Xiu took off his coat and came behind her. He leaned his chin on her shoulder and stared at the computer screen: "The flower shop is very profitable. It's not less than what you make from filming. You can make it a full-time job."

Gao Yuanyuan's flower shop has a chain of dozens of stores, which is getting bigger and bigger. The sales volume has always been very good. Putting aside the cost, the annual net profit can reach two to three million, which is a very considerable number.

You know, Gao Yuanyuan is a contracted artist, and her remuneration needs to be paid to the company. The proportion is not small. The pure remuneration income is only a few million a year, which is a little more than that of a flower shop.

But the flower shop can continue to be a chain. It will not be easy for her salary to increase.

In a year or two at most, the flower shop's revenue will definitely exceed her professional job as an actress.

"Flower shop is a hobby, and being an actor is also a hobby. You can't leave it behind. Just do what you like."

"You are very interested." Ding Xiu's hands began to be dishonest: "Are you busy enough?"

"Let the manager take care of the flower shop. I can just visit it occasionally when I'm not filming. There are still people here, please be honest with me."

"Is there anyone here?" Ding Xiu raised his head and looked towards Zhao Liying.

Zhao Liying wisely put down her things, blushed, lowered her head and closed the door.

Ding Xiu chuckled: "It's quiet now. It's okay. You play with yours and I play with mine."

Gao Yuanyuan gave him a big eye roll, but her hands on the keyboard did not stop. She still had some unfinished business and was too lazy to deal with Ding Xiu's behavior.

Just a few minutes passed, her hands were shaking slightly, and she was no longer interested in working. Finally, with a snap, she closed the laptop.

Outside the house, the already cloudy weather began to cover with dark clouds. There was a loud bang, rain fell, big beads and small beads fell onto the jade plate, and crackled on the bluestone in the yard.

The trickling rainwater gathered under the courtyard wall, washed away the dirt in the yard, and then washed it all into the sewer through the drain.

This heavy rain came and went quickly.

In the afternoon, Gao Yuanyuan wore Ding Xiu's large white shirt and placed his Shidi trophy in the most conspicuous position on the cabinet in the study. Looking at it, the cabinet was almost full.

But most of them are trophies that are not very valuable, and the best one is the Magnolia Emperor.

"well!"

After the joy, Gao Yuanyuan sighed.

The more popular Ding Xiu becomes, the more she knows that the path of being an actor will never stop moving forward. Ding Xiu is twenty-seven years old, and she is twenty-eight. She is not too old in terms of age, and she is not too young in terms of age.

There are many people getting married at this age in the circle, and she has never thought about them getting married first and then starting a career together.

It was just that he should have opened his mouth and swallowed it because Ding Xiu took the Emperor of Vision.

It's a time when your career is booming, but once you get married, it will be a big blow. You have to wait until your career is stable.

…

Ding Xiu got the title of Vision Emperor in late September. In the next month, every day was full of endless announcements, commercial performances, endorsements, variety shows, interviews, and media interviews, and he was exhausted.

According to the current trend, even if he comes for another two months, he won't be able to finish all these activities.

Tell Yang Siwei to pick a few important ones and reject all the rest.

So, a week later, Ding Xiu came uninvited to the Grandmaster crew in Kaiping Ancient Town, Guangzhou.

This drama has been filming for more than two months. Some people joined the cast to practice martial arts half a year in advance, and some people practiced kung fu seven or eight months in advance. In short, under the leadership of Wang Sunjing, there was a peaceful atmosphere.

Actors are being called names every day.

Even those who didn’t scold were scolding in their hearts.

"Who else?"

As soon as Ding Xiu entered the group with his shoulders on his back, he heard a very arrogant sentence.

Looking over at the voice, the person speaking was a girl in her twenties, with fair skin and long legs, her hair tied into a bun, wearing a sports T-shirt, shorts, and a pair of white shoes.

Before coming, Ding Xiu already knew the information about the actors in the crew and knew that this was Korean artist Song Hye-kyo.

In this era when audiences don't even recognize domestic actors, those who can come across countries to make money are all top-notch.

There are not many famous Korean Waves in the mainland, but the one in front of you is Song Huiqiao.

She is only one year younger than Ding Xiu, and her achievements are no worse than Ding Xiu. Before Ding Xiu debuted, she had already made a name for herself in South Korea with the Shunfeng Real Estate Department.

He later starred in Blue, Guardian Angel, Full House, My Girlfriend and I, which became extremely popular and won numerous awards.

If Ding Xiu is the top actor in Mainland China, then Song Hye-qiao is the top actress in Korean entertainment.

At this time, Song Huiqiao was playing badminton with a badminton racket. She had just defeated the staff with a smash, and then she put her hands on her hips and shouted those words.

The milk is fierce. The milk is fierce.

"Snapped!"

Another lob, but this time it failed. The badminton flew towards Ding Xiu and was caught by him.

A handsome guy suddenly appeared, and many eyes came to him.

Those with sharp eyes have already recognized Ding Xiu. After all, he is very popular in China. Even if he has not seen his show, he has heard of his name and seen his photos and short videos.

After the assistant said a few words to him, Song Huiqiao waved to Ding Xiu: "Hi, hello, do you know how to play ball?"

The voice was clear and crisp, but the Mandarin was not standard and had a strong Korean flavor. Ding Xiu could barely understand it: "What I'm best at is playing ball with women. Just don't cry."

"Haha, I'm very skilled. You won't make me cry if you beat me."

After giving the bag to Zhao Liying, Ding Xiu took the badminton racket from the staff and started playing against Song Huiqiao, chatting while playing.

"My name is Ding Xiu, Yixiantian, what about you?"

"Hello Oppa, my name is Song Hye-kyo, I come from South Korea, and I play the role of Jang Yong-cheng."

"How long have you been here?"

I have to admit that Song Huiqiao is very good at playing badminton. After several rounds, she didn’t make a single mistake. Her level is a little better than ordinary people, and she can reach the amateur level.

Several times, she exploited Ding Xiu's shortcomings. If Ding Xiu hadn't been in good physical condition and had quick eyes and hands, she would have almost lost points.

"Snapped!"

Starting with a light jump, Song Huiqiao swung the racket vigorously: "I have been in the group for more than two months and play badminton every day."

Ding Xiu hit the ball back: "Playing ball every day, don't you want to film?"

"No shots, no shots all day." As if to vent her anger on the ball, Song Huiqiao's swing became extremely powerful.

Hearing her words, Ding Xiu was stunned and didn't catch the ball, letting it fall on the boundary.

"More than two months, I haven't filmed a day. This is something Director Wang can do. Don't say I didn't tell you. Keep your passport, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to go back in the next two or three years."

"Isn't that true?" Song Huiqiao asked, but her tone was a little unconfident.

Wang Jiawei is a great director. He has been to the Busan Film Festival before and has met her several times. This time he specially invited her to make a movie. Being able to work with such a great director, she agreed without even thinking about it.

Before coming here, some of her sisters advised her not to film Wang Jiawei's scenes as it would be too time-consuming and not worth it. She didn't believe it and came here resolutely.

The result was the same as what the sisters said, even more exaggerated than what the sisters said. More than two months after joining the group, she had not filmed a single day and could only play badminton every day to pass the time.

According to Ding Xiu, this situation would continue for two or three years, and her face suddenly turned pale.

"Haha, you didn't ask who Director Wang is before you come here. If I lie to you, I..."

"Brother Xiu!" Before Ding Xiu could finish his words, Wang Sunjing ran towards him: "You didn't even say a word when you came, I'll send someone to pick you up."

"It's okay. It's not far. I took a taxi."

The two hugged, and Wang Jiawei whispered: "You kid, don't talk nonsense, what will you do if you scare away my actress?"

Ding Xiu: "..."

If you don't have any secrets in your heart, are you afraid of others telling you?

He said something random about feelings, but it might be true.

"Ha, I'll pick you up tonight, call Wei Zai, Ziyi, Qiao Mei, let's all have a good meal."

Wang Jiawei waved to the assistant director and asked him to book a hotel. When he was done, he winked and whispered: "Keep a close eye on Miss Song's passport for the time being."

"I understand, Director Wang, I'll take care of it."

The assistant director is Wang Jiawei's top horseman. We have worked together for many years. This kind of thing is familiar and not unfamiliar at all.

"I also took good care of Ding Xiu's ID card. If he ran away, I would only ask you!"

Ding Xiu had good ears, so Wang Jiawei spoke softly, but he still heard him, and the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched. He looked like a shady crew no matter what.

Fortunately, the filming location was in China. If it had been abroad, he would have suspected that it was done at the waist.
