This actor needs more money

Chapter 353 Booting up

Today is the day for Ding Xiu and the others to leave. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to do morning exercises. They can just wash up and wait for the car to arrive before leaving.

But when Squad Leader Zhang came downstairs to the dormitory as usual, he still saw that diligent figure.

Ding Xiu's boxing skills today were very slow, and he was already very good at this set of killing fists. Watching Squad Leader Zhang realize that something was wrong, the eight-stroke killing fist became nine.

This boxing method has eight moves since its inception and has never changed.

There are many masters in the army, and it is not that no one has thought about improving these eight moves, but they have always been unable to change, add, or take away.

This set of boxing techniques is already streamlined enough. If it were to be simpler, the power of the moves would be weakened, and it would not work if more moves were added.

At full strength, playing eight moves will consume a lot of energy. Basically, you will die or I will be busy. Adding more moves will only be a waste of energy and time.

But in front of him, Ding Xiu added a move, which did not consume energy but also increased the power.

How could this not surprise Squad Leader Zhang?

"This move is called Kang Long You Regret." Ding Xiu smashed his lips and remembered the novel "The Eight Heavenly Dragons" he had read.

"Kanglong means a dragon that flies to the horizon but cannot fly back. The key to this move is regret."

Ding Xiu said the last sentence to Squad Leader Zhang very seriously.

The killing fist is very lethal and moves forward without leaving any way for oneself to fall back. He added this move, not knowing whether it could give this powerful dragon some life.

"I understand, thank you." Squad Leader Zhang saluted Ding Xiu.

Ding Xiu waved his hand: "You're welcome."

In order to supplement this trick, he spent a lot of time and energy. Every day when he returned to the dormitory, he was thinking about how to change it.

Don't look at it as just one more move. With this one move, he has thought through all the Kung Fu he has learned and knows, combined with the structure and intention of the killing fist, and finally created a powerful dragon with regrets.

"gather!"

Squad leader Zhang didn't say anything more. When he saw the recruits from the company coming down one after another, he yelled and everyone quickened their pace.

Seeing Lao Pao and the others coming down, Squad Leader Zhang just glanced at them, blew his spoon to let them go, and then started five kilometers.

"One, two!"

"one two three four!"

"Five kilometers, I love you!"

Ding Xiu and others finished running five kilometers, and when they came back, a minibus was already waiting downstairs.

Several people looked at each other and knew it was time to pack their bags.

"Ding Xiu, Xu family, Lang Feng... come out!"

Squad Leader Zhang called a few people out, softened his tone, and said, "Go, it's time for you to leave."

"Squad leader Zhang, goodbye!"

"Goodbye, brothers."

"Please remember to support the TV series after it is released."

"I will never forget you."

“I’ll treat you all to a drink when I get the chance!”

Faced with the shouting of several people, Squad Leader Zhang did not reprimand him. He had experienced this kind of parting many times, and they all said that he would regret it for three years if he served as a soldier, and he would regret it for a lifetime if he did not serve as a soldier.

The friendship between comrades is really hard to let go.

Ding Xiu turned to Squad Leader Zhang and said, "I haven't had time to ask you your name yet."

After thinking for a moment, Squad Leader Zhang said: "Zhang Wei."

He rarely uses his real name. He always used his code name in his previous army.

Exposing his name may bring danger to his family, which he is not willing to bear.

Ding Xiu saluted, wrote down the name, and then went upstairs to pack his things. A few minutes later, everyone came down with their luggage.

Waved, got on the bus, started the accelerator, and the minibus gradually moved away.

"Don't look, everyone has it. Stand at attention, take a break, and maintain a military posture for one hour!"

Night, hotel.

The crew had a dinner together.

The director looked at Ding Xiu and his party. They were all strong, dark-skinned and energetic, and he was very satisfied.

Even if Ding Xiu doesn't say anything, he still wants actors to go to the army to experience life.

To play a soldier, you must at least look like a soldier. You have to have your hair parted in the middle, with bangs, and your skin is more delicate than that of a woman. If you say you are a soldier, the audience won’t believe it.

After more than ten days of military career, Ding Xiu and others have become somewhat of soldiers.

"Thank you for your hard work. I haven't been able to see you these days. I'm sorry. When I turn on the phone again, I'll treat you to a few more drinks."

"Today is the first day of the crew gathering. Let me introduce to you the other members, Ren Tianye, who plays the role of the dog-headed Lao Gao."

The director pointed at a middle-aged man with a crew cut, thick eyebrows, and a tall build.

Dog-headed Lao Gao, the squadron leader of the Langya Special Forces and the leader of the Lone Wolf Group B.

Judging from appearance alone, Ren Tianye actually looks more like a soldier than Ding Xiu and the others. He is tall and muscular, with a cold face and a pair of eyes full of ruthlessness, like a lone wolf.

The reason why Ren Tian was not arranged to join the company with Ding Xiu and the others was mainly because he was afraid that they would be too familiar and it would be difficult for everyone to get along in the future.

The dog-headed old man in the play spends a lot of time playing the role of abusing Xiaozhuang and the others, and was the target of secret curses from everyone.

If he had too many exposures and became too familiar, he was afraid that others would not be able to express that feeling.

"Hello everyone, please look after me in the future."

Ren Tian also smiled and said hello. It was better not to smile. When he smiled, the sharp teeth looked more like wolf teeth.

"Hello, please take care of me, Brother Ren."

"Hey, Brother Ren looks familiar. Have you filmed any drama before?"

Lao Pao asked hesitantly.

It looks familiar, but I just can't remember his character.

"Snowflake Goddess Dragon Bar." Ren Tian also said with a wry smile.

Snowflake Goddess Dragon, a TV series he starred in five or six years ago, in which he played the male lead Sima Changfeng. The heroine at the time was the popular Xiaohua Dong Xuan.

In the play, the heroine Shangguan Yan does not love the second male lead Ouyang Mingyue, she only loves him.

For this reason, he was often scolded by the audience.

It is said that the heroine is blind. She doesn't love the graceful Ouyang Mingyue, but she loves the rough-looking Sima Changfeng who wears instant noodles.

Snowflake Goddess Dragon Queen, he has also taken on a few dramas in the past few years, but he was not the leading role, and the drama was not popular, so he has always been tepid and transparent.

"I said so." Lao Pao slapped his thigh.

He has actually seen this play.

"No wonder it looks familiar. Teacher Ren, you have to sign your name for me later."

It was Zhao Liying who spoke.

She went to the art troupe, her skin was not that dark, her hair was cut short, and she looked much more cheerful.

As the female lead, she was fortunate enough to be invited to have dinner with her.

"This is the leading female lead, Zhao Liying, who plays Xiaoying." The director introduced helpfully, glancing at Ding Xiu as he spoke.

Not just the heroine, this one was brought into the group by Ding Xiu.

Maybe it's my sister or something.

"Hello everyone, I'm a new actor. I haven't filmed many scenes. Please take care of me."

"I am also a new actor, playing the role of Ma Qitong. My name is Liu Xiaojie." After Zhao Liying finished speaking, Liu Xiaojie, who played the second female lead, introduced herself.

"You look familiar," Ding Xiu said, staring at the second female lead.

Zhao Liying subconsciously said: "She played the vixen Wan Yuzhi in Sword and Sword III."

Ding Xiugui forgets things a lot and is busy with work every day. She definitely doesn't remember some young actors in the entertainment industry. As an assistant, she often helps remind them.

Liu Xiaojie had worked together in Sword and Sword III before, and Zhao Liying was involved in this movie, so she naturally remembered her. They had already said hello before Ding Xiu and the others came in.

"It's you." Ding Xiu suddenly realized.

In the entertainment industry, big or small is not considered big. He works with many actors in each film, so it is normal to have a second collaboration.

"Everyone, please take a seat. Don't stand around. Come here, grab a drink and wish the I Am Special Forces crew a smooth filming and happy cooperation."

“A pleasure to work with.”

It was said that a drink was a drink, and everyone drank it down, including Zhao Liying. After finishing a glass of wine, her face started to turn red.

Obviously not good at drinking.

Ding Xiu glanced at her, telling her not to drink if she couldn't drink it, but she acted as if he hadn't noticed and was chatting with other people.

After the drinking party was over, Ding Xiu helped Zhao Liying back to the hotel room.

"You said you are serious. If you can't drink, then don't drink. Why are you trying to be strong? In the end, I have to help you. Who is the boss and who is the employee?"

Zhao Liying leaned on Ding Xiu, feeling very safe. She squinted her tired eyes and smiled: "Then I can't rely on you all the time. I have to be independent."

"well."

Ding Xiu sighed and shook his head, saying nothing more.

"What did you whisper to the director today?" Zhao Liying asked.

"It's nothing, just a small matter. Stop asking. Okay, we're here. Go in by yourself and get some rest early."

After sending Zhao Liying to the room, Ding Xiu also started to wash up.

In early October, I am a special soldier held a start-up ceremony.

After receiving the red envelope, Zhao Liying was so happy that she wanted to treat Ding Xiu to dinner, saying that this was her first red envelope as the female lead and she had to spend it all.

So I took Ding Xiu to eat at a roadside stall.

In the small restaurant, Zhao Liying ate wontons and said that when she made a lot of money, she would treat Ding Xiu to a good meal.

Opposite her was an LCD TV, which was playing Huolishaonianwang. The theme song was so good that she couldn't help but hum along a few lines.

"There are different roads in the world. You and I are going to embark on the journey of growth... White clouds, blue sky, dreams will finally come true, moving forward side by side under the same sky."

Ding Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "If I were waiting for you to make a lot of money, I'm afraid my ashes would be cold."

Zhao Liying blushed: "Brother Xiu, don't bully a young girl into being poor. I have a hunch that I will definitely be able to make money in the future."

"Yes, yes, I have a hunch too. Eat quickly. Let's retreat after eating. There will be too many people in a while and it will be difficult to leave."

It was approaching noon, students were out of school, and there were more and more people on the street. After a while, he was discovered, and he might not be able to leave even if he wanted to.

"Everyone, when you get to the place, don't take pictures, don't talk, don't run around."

"You have to report to me every time you go to the toilet."

"If anyone breaks the rules, don't blame me for turning against them."

"This is the army, no more than anywhere else. Discipline is very important."

In November, Ding Xiu and others returned to the company where they stayed before, this time for filming.

There are many scenes in the army in the plot of "I Am a Special Forces Soldier". It is unrealistic to rely solely on scenery for these scenes. The scenes can be set up. Those tanks, helicopters, and runways cannot be set up by large troops, so they can only be shot in real time.

It was the same dormitory building, and Ding Xiu and the others came back again.

It's just that the characters downstairs have changed, and a group of new recruits have been replaced.

The monitor is not that monitor either.

The old guns and others were in awe.

The staff arranged the slide rails, microphones, and cameras, and everything was busy in an orderly manner.

The director ran out not knowing why. After a while, a company came behind him, all of them young people. All of these people were extremely excited.

"Thank you for your cooperation. You don't have to act or look at the camera. You can do it as you usually train. What we focus on is reality."

"Don't worry, director. I'm a professional in filming. To be honest, if I hadn't come to serve as a soldier, I would be at Nortel right now."

"Director, what is the name of the character I play?"

"You? No name."

"Director, can you arrange a few scenes for me and Brother Xiu?"

"No problem, I'll ask Ding Xiu to stand next to you later."

A bunch of new recruits were chattering, and the director was confused. As expected, young people are the worst to be fooled. He promised to give these young people a small salary. He thought they would be happy, but he didn't expect to hear that they were filming as extras and didn't need any money. Sign up.

Some even said they would give money back.

That expression just didn't say it didn't matter whether it was money or not, just having fun.

In fact, they think so too. They can have fun when they come to film and see big stars, and they don't have to train. It's such a great thing. How much money do they need?

"Assistant director, are the special forces in place?"

"Director, come right away."

"Here comes the director."

Zhang Wei was dressed in the camouflage uniform of the special forces, holding a prop gun in his hand, and came up with several people in the same camouflage uniform to greet the director: "Hello, Director Niu, after receiving the order, I will cooperate with your work here. Just ask for anything you need."

"Hello, sorry to trouble you."

"No trouble."

"Hey, isn't this Lao Zhang?" Ding Xiu said with a smile from a distance, holding a piece of grass in his mouth.

Zhang Wei smiled: "You kid, you rely on me, right?"

He finally knew why Ding Xiu asked his name that day, because within a few days of Ding Xiu's return, he received a notice requesting to cooperate with the crew in filming.

He performed his true nature in this drama, playing a special soldier.

There are lines and several scenes.

The pay was quite impressive, equivalent to his usual salary of several months.

"Professional things have to be done by you professionals." Ding Xiu said: "In the end, we are actors. We are not as professional as you. We are all doing it for the sake of the show."

On the first day of the crew meeting, he told the director to invite a few real soldiers to participate in the film, which would have a plot and lines.

He reported Zhang Wei's name.

"That's not worth so much money." Zhang Wei said.

"Tch, how much is your salary?" Ding Xiu said disdainfully: "It's less than a cent from me. Besides, it's money well spent to find you. If it weren't for the close relationship with the crew, I wouldn't be able to find him if I had money."

Logically speaking, the remuneration for a film like this is very low, there are not many scenes, and there is not much money.

However, Ding Xiu asked the director to give more, and he also made up some himself.

Having fought against Zhang Wei, I could feel that he was injured, probably on his waist.

Thinking that he is a good special soldier and came over to coach them actors when he had nothing to do, you can probably guess what the situation is.

"It's true. If it weren't for special circumstances, you wouldn't be able to hire me for any money. Xiao Ding, remember to ask the director to make me look handsome."

"That's necessary!"
