This actor needs more money

"No, I'm not interested."

Ding Xiu drank a sip of wine and did not agree to Wu Jiang just because he drank too much.

Vice President of the Bajiquan Research Association, this title is of no use to him, it would be better to pay him some salary.

I guess there will be a lot of trouble in the future, and I don't know when I will be able to help stand up and fight.

He never does anything thankless.

"Master Ding, please think about it carefully. You are the leader in Bajiquan. We are old and we will have to rely on you to carry forward this skill in the future."

Wu Jiang was so sincere that he almost knelt down and knelt down a few times for Ding Xiu.

He is old and cannot be moved. He usually performs well in some public places, but when he encounters international friends kicking the gym, he will most likely not be able to handle it.

Therefore, he accepted Liu Xiaoyun as his apprentice in the early years. Liu Xiaoyun has been the one to solve problems in recent years.

This is also the practice of many martial arts masters. In addition to passing on their own kung fu, accepting apprentices also helps them block some troubles when they grow old.

Liu Xiaoyun is in his forties and can only practice for a few years. His understanding and practice of Baji Quan has reached its peak. It will be difficult for him to make any breakthroughs. He will have to give up in ten years at most.

Ten years from now, who else will be able to carry the brand of Baji Quan’s authentic brand?

Ding Xiu is in his twenties this year. If he joins, Bajiquan will be the strongest brand in the martial arts world in the next thirty years.

One Ding Xiu could support the honor of a sect for thirty years. How could Wu Jiang not be moved by this?

If Ding Xiu could join in by knocking two, he would knock immediately without saying a word.

Unfortunately, Ding Xiu is obviously not that easy to talk to, and his attitude is still very firm: "Mr. Wu, just drink, forget about other things. I'm really not interested in these. I don't like the days of fighting and killing every day, and the flash of swords and swords. .”

He retired from the arena. He knows better than anyone how cruel this arena is. Although no one is killed in modern society, once there are disputes and interest disputes between various sects, they can find someone to sap them. It’s not uncommon to find sacks, hired thugs, and vandalism.

If you can defend yourself for a day or two, who can bear it for a long time?

The key point is that there are no benefits at all, which makes it difficult for Ding Xiu to deal with it. A sentence of "promote Bajiquan" can't move him.

Although he also learned Baji, his Bajiquan is different from their Bajiquan. Even if it is the same, he has no responsibility or obligation to carry it forward.

"Alas." Wu Jiang sighed helplessly after being persuaded. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, feeling very desolate.

Liu Xiaoyun's eyes moved and he said: "Master Ding, to be honest, you are much better than me. If Baji Quan has you, its future development will be limitless. In addition, I also understand your difficulties. There is really no need to go through this mess." water."

Ding Xiu opened his mouth and closed it again. You know my difficulty, but you are still talking nonsense.

"However, as one of the inheritors of Bajiquan, I still sincerely hope that you can join the Bajiquan Research Association. In addition, my martial arts gym and boxing gym want to ask you to be a consultant. Of course, you have many things to do and are busy with work. , I may not have time, I have already thought of it for you, just show up, you don’t have to be there.”

"Every three to five years, if you have time, come over and show your face."

The vice-president of the Bajiquan Research Association has not yet been rejected. Another martial arts gym, boxing gym consultant, Ding Xiu is a little confused about Liu Xiaoyun's thoughts.

"Master Liu, it's not that I don't want to promise you, it's really..."

"I understand what you mean." Liu Xiaoyun said righteously: "You don't want to be greedy for fame and do nothing in name only. Master Ding, if you are serious, you can come here a few times a year to give guidance to the younger generations. I thank you on their behalf.”

When it comes to salary, Liu Xiaoyun takes it a bit seriously.

Ding Xiu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to receive salary, and he didn't know how much it was.

"Master Liu, this is not about money."

This time, Ding Xiu's tone was much softer.

Liu Xiaoyun's expression changed, and he sighed: "Master Ding, I know that you usually have a lot of things to do, and your income is tens of millions a year. You may not have time to go to the martial arts gym, and you may not be interested in our small money of 1.8 million, but I I really hope you can pass."

"For the sake of our fellow sects, you can act as your spokesperson to let more people see Baji Quan. I really thank you."

One million and eight hundred thousand. When Ding Xiu heard these words, he raised his brows. One million and eight hundred thousand a year, you should have said it earlier.

Just like Liu Xiaoyun said, just treat it as an endorsement product.

To be honest, endorsing this thing is much safer than endorsing other things. For other things, you have to worry about quality issues, and if something goes wrong, it will have an impact on the artist's reputation.

There are no safety risks in martial arts gyms or boxing gyms. Liu Xiaoyun and his martial arts gyms do not teach people to fight life and death, but they simply strengthen their bodies. Not to mention whether they know how to do it, they don't dare to use murderous moves. teach.

So there is no risk,

Taking a step back, I am just a name in the martial arts gym. If anything happens to me, the first person I will go to if something happens is the legal person, the boss.

After thinking about it, this business can be done.

"Alas." Ding Xiu sighed heavily, and said with three parts helplessness, two parts entanglement, and five parts regret: "Master Liu, thank you for your understanding. I do have some difficulties, mainly psychological."

"I don't do anything in name. I can't do this kind of thing. Wouldn't it be cheating? This goes against my style of doing things."

"Understood." Holding Ding Xiu's hand tightly, Liu Xiaoyun said movedly: "Then you can spend a few more days every year to teach those children."

"Okay, I'll go back and think about it carefully, because my schedule is very busy and I may not have time."

Liu Xiaoyun gritted his teeth and said: "Master Ding, the endorsement fee of 1.2 million a year is my sincerity, you must accept it."

Ding Xiu sat upright with a straight face: "Master Liu, what are you doing?"

"Master Ding, you are usually busy with work, so I can't let you suffer. This money is not much. I hope you can accept it. It's a little thoughtful. I thank you on behalf of the children who are learning martial arts."

"Brother Liu."

"Master Ding, you must accept it, otherwise I won't even dare to let you go, because my personal affairs will affect your work. I feel bad about it, and I can't do such a thing."

"Okay, I agreed, but I didn't do it for the sake of money. It was mainly because of your sincerity, Brother Liu. In addition, I have always wanted to do something for Baji Quan..."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Wu Jiang was sober from drinking that his eyes almost popped out.

He watched helplessly as Ding Xiu was unmoved. From being interested and disliking, to not being a matter of money, to just being a little difficult, he went back and thought about it carefully. His schedule was a bit busy. Brother Liu was moved by the sincerity and wanted to do something for him. Baji Quan does something.

Society is too complicated and he feels old.

Li Ting and Xu Haofeng, who were at the same table, were better than Wu Jiang. They just shook their heads in confusion and continued to eat their food.

Liu Xiaoyun and Ding Xiu exchanged glasses of wine. After three rounds of drinking, everyone was almost finished drinking. He personally escorted Ding Xiu out. After sending Ding Xiu and Li Ting into the car, he said to the master behind him:

"Master, times have changed."

It is unacceptable to ask people for justice and human feelings, especially young people. Who cares about you?

Is it possible for Ding Xiu to earn millions of dollars a month and ask him to stand up for you?

It's good to talk about money, but talk less when money can solve things. Money is more useful than anything else.

"Yes, times have changed." Wu Jiang held his hands behind his back and sighed with emotion. Thinking of what he said at the wine table, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What are you going to do next?"

Liu Xiaoyun said thoughtfully: "I plan to arrange a position for Ding Xiu in all the martial arts gyms, boxing gyms, and martial arts schools under my name. Anyway, the money is spent, and this reputation will not be wasted."

"Go back and get him a portrait, frame it, and hang it in the corridor of the school, the same thing at the martial arts gym, and get him a bigger poster... In next year's admissions brochure, get him an exclusive article Report.”

It has never happened before that a martial arts gym invites a celebrity to endorse. Most martial arts gyms do not do this kind of thing. Firstly, there is no money, and secondly, it is difficult to hire celebrities. There are few real talents in the entertainment industry. Who do you hire?

That is to say, Liu Xiaoyun's family has a big business and many companies under its name, so they dare to bring Ding Xiu over.

Ding Xiu is well-known, has a good reputation, and is recognized as a good fighter. With this brand, he can open 20 more martial arts schools, and the endorsement fee of 1.2 million a year will not be a loss.

"It's up to you, old man, I won't get involved." Wu Jiang glared, turned his head, and took a taxi angrily to leave.

As his most beloved disciple, Liu Xiaoyun looked at his master's back and smiled.

He knew how the master felt at this moment. The mentality of the older generation of warriors was different from that of the young ones. They were more concerned about credibility and inheritance.

Now he regarded kung fu as a business, and the old man naturally felt a little uncomfortable.

The most important thing is that Ding Xiu chooses to do his own thing and not the old man's.

In the afternoon, the award ceremony of the National Bajiquan Competition was held.

Ding Xiu, smelling of alcohol, took the trophy from Wu Jiang and gave an acceptance speech. In order to expand his influence, reporters and media from outside were let in.

"Thank you to the referee for awarding this award to me. I am honored, but I am not proud of it. There is still a long way to go... The brothers and sisters who came to participate in the competition are also very good. Everyone ranks first in competition and second in friendship. , I just practiced for a few more years than you, I hope to see you all next time, thank you."

The champion, runner-up, third runner-up, and after Ding Xiu, the second and third place winners came on stage. Compared to Ding Xiu, the other two were much more reserved when facing so many media, speaking meticulously and stuttering a bit.

In comparison, Ding Xiu was much calmer and calmer. As an artist, he had seen this kind of scene countless times, and he was no longer nervous or uneasy.

On the same day, the news that Ding Xiu won the national Bajiquan competition was broadcast, and netizens who did not know the situation were extremely surprised.

"Damn it, I really won the Bajiquan competition championship, that's awesome."

"Brothers, this is a championship competition, not a routine competition. Brother Xiu is awesome."

"This is the only martial arts star in the entertainment industry who participates in this kind of competition. The gold content is no worse than that of a martial arts champion."

"The martial arts championship is a routine competition. The movements are standard and you can win if you perform well. There is no comparison with Ding Xiu and others. However, because it is only Bajiquan alone, the circle is a bit narrow and the gold content is still a bit low. It can only prove his Bajiquan is really good.”

"Awesome, a martial arts champion. He can fight so well. I will continue to improve next year. I really want to see how far Ding Xiu can fight."

"Why should I be an actor if I have the time? Just go and compete in competitions. The appearance fee is hundreds of thousands, and there are millions of bonuses. After a year, it will be no worse than being an actor. After you retire, you can open a boxing gym and continue to make money."

There are many boxing matches at home and abroad. For top boxers, their income is no less than that of celebrities. The top ones can even be worth over 100 million.

Ding Xiu just won a Bajiquan championship, and some netizens went to his blog to encourage him to compete in a boxing match.

Ding Xiu also surfed the Internet when he had nothing to do. When he saw the comments, he was not moved.

Indeed, given his ability, he can make more money playing games in the short term than being an actor, but that is all hard-earned money. There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. Ding Xiu does not dare to say that he can be invincible in the world. He may not know when. I met a master.

In the duel between masters, everyone lets go and fights. Injuries are common. A punch to the waist can damage the kidneys and cause blood to be urinated on the spot.

Hit on the bridge of the nose, the fragile bridge of the nose broke immediately. Hits on the eyes, cheeks, ribs, these places are not something ordinary people can bear.

How can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet? There is obviously a better way to make money, so Ding Xiu only resorted to this method to make money because his brain was in trouble.

If your hands are itchy, just ask someone for a few tricks. There is no need to fight to the death.

Actors can earn money very quickly. A movie can cost millions, and it may even reach tens of millions in the future. Adding in endorsements, commercial performances, etc., even if Ding Xiu stops acting now, he will still have a certain market in the next ten years. Can continue to make money.

Isn't it stupid to go through the back door instead of taking the main road to feel comfortable?

…

"Hey, isn't this Master Ding? It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Brother Xiu, I was blind to Mount Tai before. Don't be as knowledgeable as me. Please take good care of me in the future."

"Brother Xiu, what does the Bajiquan championship trophy look like? Can you show it to me?"

"Brother Xiu, you said I want to play Wing Chun. Can I win the championship?"

Back on the set of The Grandmaster, there was a group of people around Ding Xiu. Everyone looked at him wrongly. It was a bit scary to come back with a Bajiquan champion after running away for a few days.

Those who complained that he did not participate in the martial arts training before filming also shut up.

The Bajiquan champion really doesn't need to train. Even if he pulls out Yuan Baye, he won't be able to beat him.

It was Liang Chaowei who said he was going to compete in the Wing Chun competition. When he saw Ding Xiu winning the award, he was a little itchy and wondered if he should compete as well. He felt that his Wing Chun training was pretty good.

Of course, he was playing in a routine match, not a confrontation match like Ding Xiu, so he still knew how much he weighed.

"You are so disgusting." Ding Xiu showed no mercy and poured cold water on Liang Chaowei on the spot.

In China, there are not many people who can fight in martial arts, but those who can perform are simply like carps crossing the river. There are countless people, especially those from major martial arts schools. When it comes to standard of movement, no one can compare with them.

Is it possible that Liang Chaowei has only been practicing Wing Chun for a few months and wants to compete with others for his job?

Besides, Wing Chun is not well-known. There are currently no corresponding competitions, and there is no place to play if you want to.

"Haha, then I'll practice again." Liang Chaowei smiled awkwardly.
