This actor needs more money

I wish all the book friends who have taken the college entrance examination good luck in the college entrance examination, a successful start, and a successful confession after tomorrow.

After successfully winning the role, Nie Yuan smiled slightly, said a few polite words and left the interview room.

When I went out to the aisle, there were already some people waiting outside.

The first person to greet her was Liu Sisi. She said, "Teacher Nie is smiling so happily. This is a good time. Congratulations."

"Good luck. Come on, you guys."

He is no longer young, and Nie Yuan is no longer the naive young man he was back then. Many actors were replaced after filming started, not to mention that he didn't even sign a contract.

Just a few polite words, don't take it seriously, besides, there's nothing to be proud of.

"Thank you, Teacher Nie. I hope to work with you."

Liu Sisi said with her hands clasped together.

She also came here to audition for the female lead. To be honest, she was pretty unsure.

Because even someone like Nie Yuan, who has been in the industry for many years and is at the top of the second tier, took so long to come out, it shows that the audition inside is not easy.

Even second-tier actors have to audition, let alone her.

She is not as good as Nie Yuan.

After a few simple greetings, Nie Yuan left. He was not familiar with Liu Sisi. He had only met Liu Sisi a few times, and they only nodded and said hello. The relationship was not deep, and there was no other purpose. There was no point in continuing to chat.

In the room, assistant director Lu Yang was chatting with Ding Xiu.

"Brother Xiu, Teacher Nie and you are still from the same hometown. I thought you would be more tolerant."

The two are from the same province, just in different cities, but they are not far apart, less than 200 kilometers apart.

The fellow villager burst into tears when he saw the fellow villager. This was not seen in Ding Xiu at all. He was very strict. He had no doubt that if Nie Yuan could not master those several sets of marksmanship, what was waiting for him might be to go home and wait for news.

Hearing this, Ding Xiu was stunned for a moment, stopped turning the pen in his hand, and looked through Nie Yuan's information again.

He is really a fellow countryman, he didn't even notice this.

But it’s no use, fellow countryman.

The stakes are so high that even brothers and sisters, loved ones and friends have to line up when they come.

"One yard is another yard, I can't tolerate sand in my eyes."

"Brother Xiu is awesome. I admire your temper. I can't do it. You don't know how many people are looking for me to use the back door."

"Understood, who doesn't have a few relatives and friends?"

"Oh, you said yes, it's a bit against the rules. If you don't want it, you won't even have friends. It's difficult."

"The hardest thing is to find a relationship, and I don't have any skills at all. You said it would be better if I graduated from a major, I can more or less arrange a small contract, a small part, or something like that. Some of them were working in the electronics factory yesterday. I have to play a supporting role today, damn..."

These are things that are not open to the public in the circle, and everyone knows it. The assistant director was not polite and directly explained his difficulties to Ding Xiu.

But he was the only one who dared to say that, and the other assistant directors didn't dare to answer.

Because Lu Yang was originally the executive director, he directed this play, but Ding Xiu came in halfway and took his position, so he became the assistant director.

Without relying on connections, someone who can be an executive director naturally has two skills. There will be many uses for him after the movie is started. Even Ding Xiu has to give him some respect.

Of course, the important reason why he dared to say these things was that Lu Yang did not recruit anyone into the group.

It's just talk, and it's also about complaining about several other assistant directors.

When the casting director was restless, the door opened. Liu Sisi came in and glanced at the auditioners. Her eyes paused on Ding Xiu for two seconds, as if she didn't expect him to be here.

Without asking or staying too long, she began to introduce herself.

Ding Xiu and others listened while looking at her information.

He was born in 1987 and is now twenty-three years old, very young.

He debuted in 2004 and has been in the industry for six years. This is not a short period of time. He has many works and has filmed several dramas, mostly martial arts dramas.

Before entering film school, he was a professional ballet dancer.

This can be seen from her slender figure and good temperament. She is quiet, elegant, pure, and looks like a lady.

This is why Ding Xiu asked Liu Sisi to come over to audition.

It is indeed much better than Yangmi.

When she was a child, Yang Mi had a spiritual nature, including when she played Guo Xiang in The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

Later, after she went to college, this kind of spirituality became less and less, and more of a professional performance. Her temperament was more rebellious and wild, and it would be too much for her to play the role of a lady.

"Teachers, can I perform a martial arts performance?"

Liu Sisi asked.

Knowing that this was a martial arts film, she specially prepared a swordsmanship sequence.

Several assistant directors turned their attention to Ding Xiu and wanted to hear what he meant. Anyway, they were quite satisfied.

Liu Sisi joins and is another celebrity.

So far, the cast is already very good. Ding Xiu, Wang Qianyuan, Nie Yuan, plus Liu Sisi, they are almost the best among the younger generation.

You need traffic and good looks, and as long as the movie is not bad, it will be indispensable at the box office.

The box office can be analyzed based on the cast alone. Although this is a bit arbitrary, it is also a reality.

Audiences are star-chasing and strongly support their favorite actors. Generally speaking, as long as the film is shot by a popular actor, it is rare for them to show off.

Take Liu Yifei, Liu Sisi, Yang Mi, and Huang Shengyi as examples. The ratings are reflected as soon as their names are listed. Wherever they go, they are surrounded by fans all over the street.

Monetizing box office through fans is as crude and simple as that.

Leaning his arms on the table, Ding Xiu said in a deep voice: "Swordsmanship is not necessary. Can you do a dance? It's more of an ancient style."

Zhou Miaotong did not have any martial arts scenes. After her home was ransacked by a team led by Shen Lian, she was thrown into the Jiaofang Department and became a receptionist.

He is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and dance.

Literary and artistic things, calligraphy and painting cannot be displayed, and the piano is not necessary. Playing the piano live is unrealistic. The dubbing in the post-production period should be better. The most important thing is to dance and look beautiful.

Zhou Miaotong has little plot, and she is just a role model who is responsible for looking good.

According to the screenwriter, Shen Lian has strong abilities and high kung fu, but his position in Jinyiwei is very low.

He is loyal and has a sense of justice, but he is unlucky and lives a very hard life.

Zhou Miaotong's existence is one of the few tendernesses he has.

How can someone who can make Shen Lian gentle not be beautiful?

But Shen Lian couldn't be allowed to have a good outcome, so he set up a situation where Zhou Miaotong's home was copied by Shen Lian, creating a situation where he loved her and she hated him.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll get ready."

Moved the chair away, Liu Sisi started to dance. This was not something she had trouble with since she was a child. On the contrary, it was what she was best at, even better than acting.

After an ancient-style dance, the assistant directors became more and more satisfied.

Liu Sisi is a beauty herself, and with the blessing of ancient dance, she becomes even more charming.

Several people have a feeling that this girl is born to play ancient costumes.

"Okay, you passed." Ding Xiu wrote Liu Sisi's name in the heroine column: "Don't cut your hair short in the near future, and save your schedule within the next three months."

"In addition, you need to learn a new classical dance. I will ask the dance teacher to teach you later. You must be fully proficient before joining the group. Are there any questions?"

You have to learn after joining the group. Ding Xiu doesn’t have that much time to learn from the actors.

He invested 20 million in this drama, which is really money. Every time the crew was delayed for a day, hundreds of thousands were lost.

It would be great if some preparation work could be done before joining the group.

When the time comes, the shooting will go smoothly without wasting time.

"No problem, thank you Brother Xiu, thank you teachers."

Liu Sisi looked overjoyed. She was the leading female lead, and she was paired with Ding Xiu. It was nothing to learn a dance in advance.

No matter how many people want this opportunity, they don't have it.

This is the time to become popular.

After Liu Sisi went out, Ding Xiu picked up the file of the next person. His name was very strange, Zhou Wei, who was not famous.

I have only been in the industry for a few years and have not filmed many movies.

But he is not young anymore, twenty-eight years old.

With this kind of file, it stands to reason that it would not be his turn to audition in person. The reason why he had to wait was because the role Zhou Wei wanted to audition for was Ding Xiu.

After all, it was his previous life, so Ding Xiucai didn’t want to let Cat and Dog play the role.

No matter what, we have to find someone with the right temperament, acting skills, and charm.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk!"

"Come in."

"Hello teachers, I am actor Zhou Wei, graduated from..."

Zhou Wei was introducing himself, and Ding Xiu was sizing him up. The height listed in the information was 1.86 meters, but Ding Xiu thought he was only 1.83 meters tall.

It is normal in the entertainment industry to lie by a few centimeters, and Ding Xiu understands it and does not intend to pursue it.

Looking at the body shape again, the waist is straight and not thin. It looks quite powerful. With a little training, you can become a strongman.

Ding Xiu frowned when he saw the facial features.

He has thick eyebrows, big eyes, a round and fleshy nose, and a thick mouth, commonly known as a sausage mouth.

Not handsome at all.

The reason why Ding Xiu frowned was that he looked a bit like him in his previous life.

But he was not happy at all, because this role was his own, and he wanted to find a handsome guy to play it.

Ding Xiu didn't say anything, and Lu Yang interviewed Zhou Wei by himself, giving him a piece of paper with a short line on it and asking him to perform one.

After two minutes of preparation, Zhou Yi started his performance. His eyes became unruly and he said to Ding Xiu:

"Father-in-law, these are my beloved relatives and friends, brothers and sisters. I need to pay more..."

nice!

This was the first reaction of several assistant directors. The acting was really good, and he brought out Ding Xiu's bohemian, righteous and evil temperament.

Next, it depends on Ding Xiu's reaction. If he thinks it's good, then there should be no problem.

They can also help say a few words for other characters, but the character Ding Xiu, at first glance, was created by Ding Xiu himself. Who dares to frown?

"Zhou Zhou Wei, right? How will you film in the two years after graduation?"

Ding Xiu took the other party's file and asked.

"No one is looking for me."

Zhou Wei was quite upright and said directly that no one wanted to film with him.

Nortel graduates are not omnipotent. The most indispensable thing in the entertainment industry is actors. He is not handsome and does not have an advantage in image. It is normal for him to not get any roles after graduation.

Small roles do not require acting skills, and anyone can play. Big roles depend on connections, fame, acting skills, and image, and it is not his turn.

Of course, after all, I graduated from a major, so it is impossible to say that I have been out of filming. I put down my body and went to join the group of extras, and it is not difficult to make a living.

But there are not many people who can go to Nortel who are not ambitious and willing to be an extra.

Being able to afford such expensive tuition fees every year shows that the family conditions are not bad, and there is no way to compare with the salary of extra performers.

Zhou Wei is someone who doesn't want to be an extra.

He knows what he needs. Starting from the bottom and working his way up is not his style, and he won't be able to get ahead that way.

What he needs is a chance.

So over the years, he has been running around in various major film crews. As long as there is a film crew looking for actors, he will submit his resume. At first, he only cast male leads. Later, many times he was rejected. He listened to his friends and took a step back, and specifically cast for supporting roles.

The price is that sometimes there may be no filming for a year.

The two-year blank period that Ding Xiu asked was the price of being obsessed with the leading actor.

"What do you think of Ding Xiu?"

"Brother Xiu, you are tall, handsome, and have superb acting skills. You are a role model for me to follow. I am your fan."

Without hesitation for half a second, Zhou Wei answered Ding Xiu's question. As soon as the words came out, several assistant directors laughed.

Ding Xiu also smiled: "I'm asking about the character Ding Xiu."

Zhou Wei thought for two seconds and said thoughtfully: "Strong in martial arts, despicable and shameless. He is not a good person, but he is not bad either. He is very proud at heart and has a feeling of being from the same family."

"In my opinion, this character has his own pride, both good and evil, which makes people hate him."

"The final battle directly sublimated the character's image, gave him a different mission, and completely subverted the previous image. However, this subversion was not abrupt at all, but felt very normal."

"Ding Xiu is an unruly person. His loved ones, relatives and friends are just priced higher in his mouth, but when it is his turn to actually kill him, he will let go. In short, he will not play according to common sense. I think his The psychology is a bit boring, giving people the feeling of being a prodigal who is playing in the world..."

After speaking, Zhou Wei looked at Ding Xiu carefully.

No matter how stupid he is, he still understands the relationship between the Ding Xiu in the play and the real Ding Xiu.

They have the same martial arts skills, the same bohemian attitude, the same righteousness and evil, they like to talk when they have a good temper, but they like to hit people when they have a bad temper.

He doesn't follow the rules at all. He beats paparazzi whenever he wants and scolds reporters whenever he wants. Even if he is facing a world-class boxing champion, he still dares to fight.

This character is exactly like Ding Xiu in the script.

No, Ding Xiu in the script was designed based on his prototype.

Because the author of this novel is Ding Xiu.

Holding his chin, Ding Xiu asked, "Have you read the original work?"

If he remembered correctly, the script handed over by the assistant director did not cover so many things, and there were not many Ding Xiu scripts released to the public.

It can only be explained that Zhou Wei has read the original work, so he understands so many stories behind it.

Zhou Wei nodded heavily: "I've seen it."

It was only after watching him that I chose the small supporting role of Ding Xiu.

Ding Xiu is a supporting actor in this film, but he has a lot of roles in the subsequent films. It is impossible for Qin Chao Entertainment to stop filming this film.

As long as he performs well and is recognized by the audience, if Ding Xiu plays the leading role in the next film, then he should be invited to play the role.

So, this is a starting point.

As for reading the original novel, this is a novel bought by Zhang Songwen, a roommate we share a house with, because the author is Ding Xiu. He had read a few chapters while squatting on the toilet.

I'm going to audition for the show today, and I finished it last night after working overtime.
