This actor needs more money

Otherwise, Ding Xiu's crow's mouth was really accurate. When Blind Well was released, he said he might win an award, but he didn't expect that he actually won the award in the end.

It was the same with Huang Bo, who said that the box office was not good, but the artistry was high and he might win awards. Unexpectedly, he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, and he was only half a step away from the best actor.

There are three Chinese gold medals, the Golden Horse Award, the Golden Statue, and the Golden Rooster. Currently, the Golden Horse Award has the highest gold content. This award is all-encompassing. Works from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places can be shortlisted. In contrast, the Golden Statue Award only allows people from Hong Kong Island to play. The Golden Rooster Award The theme theme is easier to win awards, while the Golden Horse is much more open and the most lively one every year.

If this wave of Huang Bo really wins the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, he will be really awesome.

Even if he is not following the idol route, and his previous representative works are not too many, but with the qualifications of winning the Golden Horse Award in his thirties, it is enough for him to join the ranks of second-tier actors.

That is to say, Huang Bo's previous qualifications were not deep enough. If it were Ding Xiu who won the Golden Horse Award, he might have to rush out of the country tomorrow and take an international route.

"Awards? Does your company cooperate a lot with Hong Kong Island?" Ding Xiu asked Wang Baoqiang curiously.

The Academy Awards have a long history, and they were once the most dazzling ones. They are the top awards in Asia.

It's just that in recent years, with the decline of Hong Kong's entertainment industry and the rise of the mainland, the gold content of the Academy Awards has become lower and lower.

Not much else, the registration conditions are very demanding. The work must be directed or starred by a Hong Kong Island company, the investor must have a Hong Kong Island company, and in the production department, how many Hong Kong Islanders must be in the main responsible team, etc. .

It's just that, except for Hong Kong actors, no one else has a few big characters carved on their foreheads.

So far, the only mainland actor who has won the Academy Award for Best Actor is Li Lienjie. He only got it last year, and the shortlisted works were nominated.

This is Li Lienjie's first attempt at a literary drama rather than a martial arts drama.

In this drama, his literary drama was better than his martial arts drama, and his role as Pang Qingyun won unanimous praise from industry insiders.

Of course, the pay is also very high, reportedly over 100 million.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being at the top of the entertainment industry pyramid.

"Yes, our company has cooperated a lot with Hong Kong circles in the past few years. Usually we invest the money and they shoot the pictures. It is a win-win cooperation for both parties."

Wang Baoqiang said in a deep voice without being in a hurry to eat mutton skewers.

Hong Kong's entertainment industry is heading north. This is the pattern after the millennium. Huayi is the mainland company with the deepest exposure to Hong Kong. The two cooperate almost every year.

As a first-tier actor in the company, Wang Baoqiang is also fortunate to work with big names in the Hong Kong industry. No, he just has the opportunity and wants to see if he can compete for the Academy Awards.

"Hong Kong circle?" Huang Bo was puzzled: "When did the new word come out?"

Ding Xiu explained: "I know this. Generally speaking, it refers to the group of people headed by Hong Kong actors and directors. Someone with good intentions turns them into a circle."

Huang Bo curled his lips and said: "Isn't this nonsense? Some of the film companies and directors in Hong Kong are friendly and they have had many fights before, right? If they are still in a circle, I'm afraid they themselves won't agree."

The entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island was not peaceful compared to the mainland in the early years.

Film and television companies cannot survive without a little bit of gray.

In order to compete for box office and actors, many dirty tricks are used.

Cheng Long had to be trolled on his waist when he got off the plane to film a movie. Fa Ge, Hua Zai, who hasn't enjoyed this kind of treatment?

If one's own artists are bullied, how can the film and television companies behind these artists just let it go? They fight overtly and covertly.

Netizens group them together, which is obviously because the information is wrong.

"It's not just that." Ding Xiu poured himself a drink and said slowly: "There are also the Beijing Circle, the Northwest Circle, etc. Even I have been included in the Beijing Circle, saying that I am backed by the big bosses in the Beijing Circle."

The Beijing circle said that it was led by Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, and the people from Renyi, who usually filmed more TV series.

Inexplicably, Ding Xiu was included in the group. Some paparazzi even said that he had a rich background and was a big brother.

Huang Bo laughed: "Is it because your house is in Peking?"

It would be ridiculous to say that Ding Xiu belongs to the Beijing Circle. He knows no big boss in the Beijing Circle and has never cooperated with him.

It’s fair to say that he is from Hong Kong, because he has collaborated with many Hong Kong directors.

"Maybe." Ding Xiu smiled and nodded.

…

The next afternoon, Ding Xiu, who was taking a nap, was woken up by Yang Siwei's phone call.

"Brother Xiu, don't you have to cooperate with the crew in publicity today? Wang Jiawei is starting to urge you."

On the phone, Yang Siwei was very anxious.

The Grandmaster is a big-time producer and a famous director. She doesn't want Ding Xiu to offend a director of this level. It's unnecessary to lower your head and not look up.

The second male lead was edited out and only three scenes were left. Everyone would be angry, including herself.

But now is not the time to be angry. No matter how uncomfortable you feel, you still have to do the superficial things you should do.

Ding Xiu didn't attend yesterday's party after the premiere, and he didn't attend today's promotion either. His mood was too obvious.

"I told him yesterday that I had a cold and was not in good health."

Ding Xiu closed his eyes and said vaguely.

"Did you say it?"

"Didn't you tell me? Then tell him again. Not only will I not be able to go to today's promotion, I will not be able to go to future promotions as well."

Yang Siwei smacked his tongue and said cautiously: "Brother Xiu, isn't this a little too obvious?"

"Is it obvious? Then be polite and say that I'm afraid of spreading the cold to everyone, so I won't go."

Yang Siwei: "..."

Whether it was Yong or Ding Xiu, Wang Jiawei wouldn't give him any face, and he wouldn't go if he said he didn't want to go.

"Brother Xiu, why don't you think about it again."

"That's it, don't disturb my sleep."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Xiu continued to sleep soundly. There was no such thing as compromising. He had already complied with the law by not beating Wang Sun Jing.

The finished film is less than the shot, which is normal. As for editing, we can broadcast as much as we can shoot.

But a two-hour movie is so long, and you cut me, the second male lead, down to three scenes. This is too much.

They also put my name second on the poster, just to fool the devil.

In his previous life, Ding Xiu would have killed the second male lead if he had missed even one minute of the scene, whether it was the second male lead written in black and white on the contract or the second male lead who had been verbally agreed.

This association also wants him to cooperate with the publicity and publicize his grandma's legs.

Just as I closed my eyes, the phone rang again, it was Yang Siwei again.

"Wait, I have something else to do. Since you don't want to participate in the promotion of The Grandmaster, then you can do the promotion of the prequel of Lotus Lantern first. Anyway, you have nothing to do."

Ding Xiu rested long enough this time. He did nothing every day and just helped Zhang Wei rub medicinal wine on his back.

Rather than letting him sit idle like this, it would be better to do some promotion for the prequel of The Lotus Lantern.

It's not too early for this drama to be finalized, the post-production has been completed, and the buyer has been finalized. It's just waiting for the TV station to queue up for broadcast. The specific broadcast time may be December.

It's actually not too early to do pre-promotion now. I've recorded some variety shows that should be recorded, and done interviews. When the time comes later, it will be broadcast together with the TV series. Anyway, it is a recording and broadcast.

"Okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Xiu turned over and continued to sleep.

A few seconds later, the phone rang.

"Depend on!"

Ding Xiu wanted to curse, but didn't even look at it. After answering, he said, "Sir, can you tell me something at once?"

"Ah?" The other end of the phone was stunned for a moment and said, "Is it Ding Xiu?"

The voice sounded familiar. Ding Xiu glanced at his phone and saw an unfamiliar number: "It's me. Something happened just now. I got the wrong number. Who is it?"

"I'm Li Mancang, whom I met before."

"It turns out to be Mr. Li. I'm sorry. I was a little rude just now. Don't blame me."

"fine."

"Mr. Li, why do you have time to call me? What's the matter?"

"It's nothing. I want to ask you for a cup of tea. I don't know if I have time."

Ding Xiu smiled dryly: "My schedule is a bit busy and I may not have time for tea. If Mr. Li needs any help, just let me know."

I had visited Li Mancang with Zhang Wei before. He had left his business card and told him to call if he needed help.

His abilities are limited, and all he can help is a little financial help.

This time Li Mancang called, thinking he was encountering difficulties.

On the other end of the phone, Li Mancang was playing with a business card in his hand. The small business card kept flipping and rotating on his fingertips, running from his thumb to his little finger, and from his palm to the back of his hand.

"Nothing, I just want to invite you to have a cup of tea and discuss Bajiquan."

Ding Xiu propped himself up, narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't understand why Mr. Li is so persistent in wanting to compete with me."

"You don't believe it, but I decided to find you after watching the movie about The Grandmaster. A layman can see the fun, and an expert can see the secret. Your Bajiquan is indeed very proficient. I still don't understand some of the moves. I want to learn from you. please teach me."

Ding Xiu's Baji is different from modern Baji. Even those Baji boxings that are said to be the most authentic still have some moves that are different from Ding Xiu's.

Ding Xiu smiled. Of course it was different. He practiced Bazi Quan, the predecessor of Baji Quan. It was a martial art in the military and focused on killing people.

Bajiquan is an abridged version.

It would be strange if they could be the same.

"I don't have time recently. If Mr. Li doesn't mind it, I'll ask Zhang Wei to meet you. I've given him some of the Baji Quan's stances and training techniques. You can ask him the same thing."

Ding Xiu really didn't have time. He was about to start promoting the prequel of Lotus Lantern. He didn't know how long it would take when he got busy.

If he guessed correctly, filming will start soon, and he probably won't be able to come back for another three to four months.

"also."

Mr. Li nodded reluctantly and agreed.

After hanging up the phone, he stood up again, took his change and walked towards the nearest cinema.

I underestimated Ding Xiu last time and thought his kung fu was average. Unexpectedly, I accidentally watched the movie The Grandmaster this morning and was immediately surprised by the kung fu in it.

Among the great masters of the generation, there is not only Bajiquan, but also Bagua Zhang, Wing Chun, Hong Quan, Stab Kung Fu and other martial arts.

The audience didn't understand many professional terms, but he understood that the kung fu in them was not blind, many of them were fighting styles and killer moves.

Li Mancang didn't expect that Wang Jiawei was so powerful that he could actually let everyone put real kung fu into movies.

The great master of the first generation focused on introducing Baguazhang and Wing Chun, and mentioned other martial arts whenever he encountered them. Only Bajiquan was hardly introduced.

But after watching this movie, no one can ignore the Baji of Yixiantian.

Baji is also known as the Eight-Arm Boxing, which means a move made from the combination of the four strongest pairs of fists, elbows, feet, and knees in the human body.

The Bajiquan shown by Ding Xiu in the film is not only powerful, it is simply a textbook-level real martial arts.

Li Mancang asked himself that even at his peak, he couldn't be so comfortable.

After watching the movie in the morning, what kept echoing in his mind was Ding Xiu's rainy night fight scene, so he hurriedly retrieved the business card Ding Xiu had given him.

Arriving at the cinema with his hands behind his back, Mr. Li gave the money to the ticket seller: "A great master."

After buying and checking the tickets, Mr. Li entered the cinema, found a seat in the front row and sat down. As he got older and his eyesight declined, he could see better in the front row.

Soon, the movie starts.

He didn't pay attention to the actors' acting skills, but all about the martial arts.

In the audience, some young people saw such a fierce martial arts fight for the first time and couldn't help but make a sound.

"Fuck you!"

"Fuck you!"

"hiss!"

"sharp."

"Damn it, Ding Xiu is so handsome. This hairstyle and his eyes are so cool."

"Nah, this is my skill."

Li Mancang rested his arm gently on the armrest, and his fingertips gently hit the arm of the chair. His eyes lit up as he watched Ding Xiu's martial arts.

His eyes didn't let go of any detail, and he kept staring at Ding Xiu's moves.

At the end of the movie theater, there was a scene between Yi Yin Tian and Ip Man, and Wing Chun's eight-cut knife versus razor blade.

The director depicts the outcome of this battle with a sound that is hard to buy.

"It's interesting. A lot of money can't buy a sound. Isn't it the sound of the sound? The two great masters are just exerting their energy. Isn't it a bit petty, but there is still a sound of energy..."

On this day, Li Mancang has been in the cinema, watching The Grandmaster.

To be precise, it was watching Ding Xiu’s fight scene on a rainy night.

By the end, he could almost memorize his lines.

"Always remember, there will be reverberations."

"The boxing has the north and the south, the state has the north and the south. The world is so big, and it doesn't stop at the north and the south. Trying to be complete is just complacency."

"If there are people in a sect who want to take face, they must have their face. There should be no dust on their face. If blood is shed, the lining must be kept away. If it cannot be kept away, it will be a major matter that will destroy the sect and destroy the family. It is important to invite people with face. If you eat a cigarette, you may have to get rid of someone..."

“It’s better to think about progress than to think about stopping.”

"You know, in the 26th year of the Republic of China, I planned to go to the Northeast because there was a high mountain there. I made all the coats. But later because of the war, I didn't go. I didn't leave the coat, only a button."

The Grandmaster has a lot of lines. Because of the historical background, many of the words resonated with Li Mancang. As he looked at it, he found that the lines seemed to be a little more interesting than martial arts.

The Grandmaster is on fire.

The box office on the first day was 25 million.

The box office on the first day was more than this year's bullfight took in a month.

Netizens all gave high scores.

"One of the best martial arts movies of the year, bar none."

"In essay drama, a great master would throw away Ip Man for ten blocks; in fighting drama, he would throw away twenty blocks."

"Next year's Academy Awards, Tony Leung will win again."
