This actor needs more money

"I gave you eight million. As for the house, you can give it as you see fit. How many houses are there?"

"Don't worry, I promise to give you the best. To be honest, if it weren't for this financial crisis, the value of these houses would have increased tenfold in the future. Brother Xiu, if you are not in a hurry to use the money, just keep it. You may use it in the future. Get it.”

"There is a large flat near the river in the Magic City. I paid more than 2.8 million yuan for it. There is a new-style courtyard house built by a developer in Peiping for 1.5 million yuan. There is a school district room over there on the Fourth Ring Road. …”

Qin Gang gave Ding Xiu a total of six houses, four of which were over one million yuan. The most expensive one was a large flat in the magic city, which cost more than 2.8 million yuan.

Six houses, totaling more than 8.7 million, Qin Gang gave it to Ding Xiu as 8 million.

Without any hesitation, Ding Xiu called Gao Yuanyuan and told her that he needed money and asked her to transfer 8 million to the company.

Although Ding Xiu's card has always been kept by Gao Yuanyuan, if he uses money, Gao Yuanyuan has never been stingy and rarely interferes.

Everyone is smart, and she knows that Ding Xiu gave her the card to reassure her.

Ding Xiu knew that he could use the money anytime he wanted, and he could use a hundred ways to get the card back.

Everyone understands each other tacitly.

After settling Qin Gang's affairs, Ding Xiu immediately returned to Hengdian to continue filming.

Half a month later, Xiangshan Film and Television City.

This is the crew’s second filming location.

Here, Ding Xiu has a lot of roles, and he is so busy every day.

Yang Siwei got him a new assistant to help with daily affairs. Zhao Liying was free to spend more time on filming, and gradually got into a good mood, not as nervous as before.

Because Tang Yan had decided to sign a contract with Qin Chao Entertainment, she had fun with Zhao Liying.

Liu Sisi also gets along well with her. She and Zhao Liying are both newly debuted artists, not from a professional background, and have many common topics.

Yang Mi still ran between the Red Mansion and the Fairy Sword, well, she got scolded on both sides.

For her age, the drama was still too forced. Li Shaohong was demanding, but Xianjian didn't dare to deal with it carelessly. Taking care of both ends, she could only be exhausted and numb.

Seeing that she was in poor condition, Ding Xiu called Li Shaohong again and asked Yang Mi for half a month's leave so that she could concentrate on filming here.

When she heard the news, Yang Mi almost gave Ding Xiu a kiss.

It's so difficult for her.

The two crews were running around, and she had no time to sleep. Sometimes while filming, she didn't even know whether she was playing Tang Xuejian or Qingwen.

This time Ding Xiu helped her fight for half a month, and finally she could slow down.

…

It was June and the weather was starting to get hot. When not filming, everyone was hiding under umbrellas.

The thick costumes on the body cannot be taken off, and the hair cannot be messed up, otherwise it will be troublesome to touch up the makeup, and several male protagonists almost collapsed.

Especially the actor who plays Chonglou, his costume is the thickest and his make-up is the most troublesome. After one scene, his vest is watered out.

The best ones are Liu Sisi and Tang Yan. Their costumes are skirts and tube tops, while Tang Yan's costumes are transparent mesh, which makes them cool when the wind blows.

"Hey, I'm Ding Xiu, what's up?"

In the afternoon, Ding Xiu took a nap in the RV. As soon as he opened his eyes, the phone rang.

The caller ID is Zhang Muye, the author of Ghost Blowing the Lamp.

We've known each other for a long time, but this guy doesn't call him very often. Maybe it's because the authors of online articles are more homely and have a small social circle.

"Brother Xiu, are you not arguing?"

"without."

"There is something I want to tell you about the novel. Is it convenient for you now?"

Wearing slippers and coming to the table, Ding Xiu poured himself a glass of cold boiled water, drank the water and said, "It's convenient, let's talk."

"That's it, I'm going to finish it off."

On the other side of the phone, Zhang Muye said hesitantly.

"You are the author, you decide how it should be finished."

Speaking of novels, Ding Xiu hasn't read them for a while. He has been busy filming recently and has no time.

"It's like this. I'm going to finish this one soon. I want to write the second one and start a new chapter."

"It's a good thing, you can eat it all over the world with one move." Ding Xiu said with a smile, then thought of something and said, "Are you having any difficulties?"

If it were that simple, Zhang Muye wouldn't have this tone.

"Brother Xiu, thank you very much for getting my novel out. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. I owe you a hundred thanks, but I want to write the second one myself."

Before Gui Blowing the Lamp, I bought it out to Ding Xiu. He took the buyout price and electronic subscription, and he has indeed made a lot of money since writing the book.

But compared to Ding Xiu's publishing fee, his side is a bit insignificant.

In addition to the publishing share, I heard that Ding Xiu also sold several copyrights, all worth hundreds of thousands or millions.

If you write it yourself, these things belong to you.

As people go higher, they also want to earn more. If they don't have the opportunity and have the strength, forget it. Now the opportunity is right in front of them.

The reputation of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has already been established, and there will be no shortage of readers to write a second part. If it is well written, the copyright can be sold.

The one who had a little difficulty was Ding Xiu.

If the relationship between the two was purely business, he wouldn't be in trouble. The contract stated a buyout, and he would have no problem finishing it and starting a new book now.

At worst, the new book will be renamed, so there won't be any copyright dispute with the previous book Gui Chui Deng.

The problem is that when Ding Xiu fished him out as a reader, he wouldn't make any money at all, so Ding Xiu simply liked him and bought him out.

Of course, he can also say that he has helped Ding Xiu make money over the years, earning millions from copyright alone, and no one owes anyone anything.

However, if someone gives you a bottle of water in the desert, you can't say it's even if you buy a bottle and give it back to them when you return to the city.

"I want to buy a house in Shanghai, and I'm not young anymore. It's time to consider getting married..."

Listening to the intermittent misery over there, Ding Xiu did not interrupt, and waited for Zhang Muye to finish speaking before saying: "Understood, it's time to think about yourself. You don't have to be embarrassed, it's human nature."

"When I bought your novel, I just wanted to read it. I didn't want to make money. I don't need the money. Okay, if you want to write the second one, just write it. Remember to let me know when the book is released. .”

"Thank you, Brother Xiu." Zhang Muye breathed out secretly, "I'll treat you to dinner when you arrive in the Magic City another day."

"Okay, I have something else to do here, let's talk about it later."

"Wait a minute, Brother Xiu, I have a friend here who also writes about tomb robbing. If your company likes it, you can consider his copyright."

The tomb robbing theme was originally written by Zhang Muye, and Ding Xiu didn't know that there was a better one on the market than him, worthy of the company buying the copyright.

"What novel?"

"The name is Tomb Raiders Notes. Like me, he used to serialize and write for free on the Tianya Forum. Later, he moved to a novel website and achieved good results."

Ding Xiu suddenly realized: "It's him. I'll ask the company to ask later."

He had the impression that this guy seemed to be a ghostly reader. He felt that Zhang Muye was slow to update, so he wrote one of the same type.

I heard that the popularity is pretty good, but compared to Ghost Blowing Lantern, it’s still a little less exciting.

Ding Xiu has scanned a few chapters of Tomb Robbery Notes. They are not professional enough and contain more plots and friendships. They are not as pure as Ghost Blowing Lantern.

"Thank you, Brother Xiu. I won't disturb you anymore. You are busy."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Muye exhaled. Although he left, he recommended a new novel to Ding Xiu, which was more or less compensation.

Regardless of whether Ding Xiu wants to read novels or make money, he should be able to forget his old love after having a new love, right?

"Brother Xiu, eat some fruit. Sister Sisi bought it."

Zhao Liying got into the car carrying a fruit plate, which contained apples, cherries, and grapes.

Ding Xiu took a bunch of grapes in his hand, ate them and said, "She should be finishing her job today."

"Well, so she bought it for everyone, and she also said she would treat us to dinner tonight. Let me ask if you have time?"

Although Liu Sisi is the second female lead, she is pretty much the same by now.

She is a junior and not well-known. If she wants Ding Xiu to attend her final banquet, it depends on whether Ding Xiu is willing.

Ding Xiu asked: "What time is it tonight?"

Knowing Ding Xiu's filming notice, Zhao Liying certainly knew that Ding Xiu would be filming in the evening and would not be free before ten o'clock.

"Sister Sisi said ten o'clock."

She told Liu Sisi about the time. Whether Ding Xiu can be invited depends on Ding Xiu's wishes.

"Okay, let's go there after work is done."

Zhao Liying smiled and made an OK gesture: "I'm going to tell Sister Sisi right now."

Liu Sisi, the second female lead, had already finished filming, but the supporting role she played, Hua Ying, had finished filming even earlier. At that time, Liu Sisi was very considerate and gave her a finishing party, inviting Tang Yan, Yang Mi, Huo Jianhua and others to attend.

It was Liu Sisi's turn to finish the project, and she had to help.

That's why I told Liu Sisi Ding Xiu's announcement time.

…

At 10:30 p.m., Ding Xiu stopped work, took off his makeup, and went directly to attend Liu Sisi's closing banquet.

Everyone in the box had arrived, and all the food was untouched, just waiting for him.

"Sorry, there's a bit of a traffic jam on the road, but everyone is so polite. Let's all eat."

Yang Mi poured wine for Ding Xiu and said with a smile: "Brother Xiu, if you don't come, we won't dare to use chopsticks."

"Today's protagonist is Sisi. You don't have to wait for me. If you're late, I'll punish myself with a drink."

"It's not too late, we've just arrived. Brother Xiu, I'd like to toast you too."

Liu Sisi picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Ding Xiu from a distance.

Seeing this, Tang Yan and others also stood up and toasted together.

After drinking the liquor, Liu Sisi felt that the tip of her tongue was so spicy that it spread to her throat and then into her stomach. Although it was not the first time for her to drink liquor, she still felt that the liquor did not taste good at all.

But she couldn't help it. That's how it is when you go out to hang out. If someone raises a glass to you, if you don't drink, you won't give them face. Therefore, if you offend others, you will suffer a big loss.

So, no matter how hard it tastes, you have to drink it.

Next to them, Tang Yan and Yang Mi also had similar expressions. They picked up their wine glasses, gritted their teeth and stomped their feet.

Ding Xiu laughed: "If you can't drink, don't force it. If I can't start work tomorrow, Director Li will give me trouble."

Her cheeks were slightly red, and Liu Sisi wiped the wine stains from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand: "If you are happy today, just drink more."

Tang Yan said sternly: "Brother Xiu, don't look at me because I don't usually drink. In fact, I can drink quite well. Being half a catty is not a problem."

Ding Xiu glanced at Yang Mi, who was biting her lips with tears in her eyes, and said to Tang Yan and Liu Sisi: "It's a good thing to be able to drink. It will be easier to deal with the wine shop in the future. In our line of work, it is inevitable to deal with businessmen, bosses, directors, and seniors. .”

"Sometimes you can't do it without drinking. If you don't have a good drinking capacity, you'll make a fool of yourself if you drink too much. So before you get to the point where you can't drink without drinking, just practice it if you can."

Liu Sisi and Tang Yan nodded empathetically.

In the company, they are often called to participate in drinking parties. As Ding Xiu said, some people are leaders, some are investors, some are directors, and some are seniors. You can't do it without drinking.

I really couldn’t drink anymore, so I ran to the bathroom and vomited and had to come back to drink.

Of course, you don’t have to drink. No one can force you, but there may be no filming afterwards.

The gains and losses are decided by the individual.

Anyone with a sane mind knows which one is more cost-effective: a few drinks or the loss of a job.

Before they have the ability to say no, they can only practice drinking.

"There are also things to pay attention to when drinking." Ding Xiu said: "White wine, beer, and red wine are different. Take white wine as an example, if you want not to get drunk, you can't drink it in one sip. It's better to hold it in your mouth and take several sips."

"In addition, you should eat something to fill your stomach and don't go on an empty stomach... Drink some tea and orange juice can also relieve hangover. It is best to take hangover medicine in advance. Don't force yourself if you can't drink. Just vomit when you need to, otherwise you will become drunker after the accumulation of alcohol. quick."

Ding Xiu kept telling the girls how to avoid getting drunk, and they listened attentively with their ears pricked up and their eyes widened.

This is all dry stuff.

Who is Ding Xiu? He is known in the entertainment industry as a drinker and has a good understanding of wine. What he said is correct.

Yang Mi's groggy head also sobered up a lot, secretly thinking that she had just left a bad impression on Ding Xiu.

She just graduated this year and has relatively little experience. She still thinks like a student and is not so social.

But she is not stupid and knows that many of what Ding Xiu said were meant for her.

She made up her mind that Yang Mi planned to finish filming the movie and start drinking more when she got back. This is her character, she is cruel to others and she is also cruel to herself.

Back then, she had knocked out four teeth just for the role of Qingwen, so it didn't matter how many glasses of wine she drank.

"Brother Xiu, let me toast you this time and thank you for taking care of me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to play Xuejian..."

Finding an excuse, Yang Mi drank it all in one gulp again. This time, she didn't reveal her mask of pain and drank it all, as if she was drinking boiled water.

Beside her, Zhao Liying's eyes widened, and she was the only one who drank orange juice throughout the process.

With Ding Xiu, she never had time to drink, and Ding Xiu wouldn't let her drink. At company gatherings, they were all old acquaintances, Huang Bo, Huang Bo's daughter-in-law, Xiaoou, and Yang Siwei. They had known each other for many years, and they didn't know how to do it. Because if you don’t drink, you will be angry and unhappy.

Because she hasn't "completely" entered the industry yet, she doesn't have to face bosses, leaders, seniors, or investors, and it's not her turn to sit at the table.

"How about I drink some too?"

Zhao Liying muttered, then poured herself a small glass and took a sip. It was so spicy that she stuck her tongue out, so she quickly drank orange juice to taste.

The wine was not good at all.

It seems that she does not have this talent, so she should just follow Ding Xiu in the future.
