This actor needs more money

Xu Zheng's "囧" was released on New Year's Day.

Ding Xiu started working the day after the Spring Festival Gala.

He usually doesn't care much about the company's affairs. He doesn't understand administration, human resources, or accounting. Forcibly intervening will only cause trouble for the company.

But this time he had to make the decision himself.

Qin Chao Entertainment, a conference room, including Qin Gang and Ding Xiu, there are only five people in total. The remaining three are Lu Yang, the director of the second part of Xiuchundao, the company's production leader, and the second-in-command of the Ministry of Commerce.

There were more than a dozen resumes placed in front of Ding Xiu, followed by the personal information of the resume owner made by the company.

When I open my resume, the first thing that comes out are photos. They are actors in the entertainment industry, both male and female. Different photos show different costumes. Some are costumes from Qing palace dramas, some are chivalrous women, some are princesses, some are female generals, etc. .

The resume lists their agency, the roles they have played over the years since their debut, the films and TV series they have filmed, and the directors they have worked with.

These people all participated in the casting selection for the second part of Xiuchundao.

Whether it’s photos or resumes, they are all commonly used criteria for casting.

But companies don't just look at their own glorious history, they also look into the other side of the characters before them.

That's why there is accompanying information.

In the company's information, there are products endorsed by these artists, word-of-mouth reputation from the audience, the number of Weibo fans, and even past scandals.

Xiuchundao was Ding Xiu's brainchild and he also starred in it. When it came to the selection of important roles, Qin Gang and Lu Yang did not dare to be careless and specifically asked him to come over and make a final decision.

The information before us today is mainly divided into two categories. One is the candidates for the role of the second female lead Ding Baiying, and the other is the candidates for the second male lead Lu Wenzhao.

Knowing that Xiuchundao is a major project of Qin Chao Entertainment and starring Ding Xiu, I don’t know how many companies and artists have been waiting for it.

Who wouldn’t want to collaborate with a top artist like Ding Xiu?

These people are like goblins on the way to seek Buddhist scriptures, all wanting to eat Tang Monk’s meat.

The people who can fall in front of Ding Xiu now have gone through several rounds of screening.

When Ding Xiu picked up his first resume, Lu Yang immediately opened his laptop, and clips of the actor's film and television dramas were played on a projector a few meters away.

Photos are photos after all, not as objective as videos.

Through this actor's past film and television dramas, her performance level, posture and figure can be better reflected.

"The acting skills are good, but the temperament is not good. He is too gentle and has no sharp temperament. I will be next."

Ding Xiu watched the first resume for twenty seconds, and then watched the video for half a minute. In less than a minute, he eliminated the actress who was one of Ding Baiying's candidates.

"This one with tender skin and tender flesh has never learned martial arts at all. It would be too troublesome to retrain him. Next one."

"This is not a chivalrous girl, she is a young lady from a wealthy family."

"She is too beautiful and her breasts are too big, which easily attracts the audience's attention and ignores the charm of the character itself."

"My acting skills are very good, but I'm so ugly. Is it appropriate? How did you choose the role?"

"I'm too young. Let alone Ding Xiu's master, I'm almost as good as her daughter."

"I'm afraid this actor can play Ding Xiu's mother. How old is he to play such a role? He is old and his heart is not old."

Listening to Ding Xiu's reasons for elimination, everyone's lips twitched.

It doesn't work to be too beautiful, it doesn't work to be too ugly, it doesn't work to have delicate skin and fair skin, it doesn't work to have an elegant temperament, it doesn't work to be too young, and it doesn't work to be too old.

Too much service.

"Cough!" Seeing that director Lu Yang's face turned green, Qin Gang coughed and said, "Brother Xiu, this teacher is actually not very old, thirty-six years old, but he is well maintained and looks like he is only thirty. "

"When I got to the crew, I put on makeup and went on camera. I already had an appearance that suited the character and the character's inner temperament. I think it's good. This is an advantage that young actors don't have."

To be honest, thirty-six years old, especially for female artists, was definitely older in the entertainment industry ten years ago.

But now the times are different. Artists are famous and have high status, and the audience is relatively more tolerant. It is not unacceptable for people in their thirties to perform in their twenties.

The actress Ding Xiu eliminated has been in the second tier for more than ten years. She is well-known, has good acting skills, and has a strong management company behind her. The other company's company can play a part in promoting the movie after it is released.

Therefore, it is appropriate to match Ding Xiu with this role.

The second-tier actress is almost the best for this role. Although many people want to be in this drama, she is only the second-tier female lead, and it is impossible for other first-tier artists to come.

If you come here, you have to give Yangmi a little flower, who will do it?

Ding Xiu said with a dark face: "Thirty-six acting as twenty-six is ​​not natural after all. There is still a slight gap. Forget it. If the audience doesn't respond to it, I still don't."

The lens has filters and can be retouched later, so the effect the audience sees will definitely be better.

But that’s not the case when shooting live.

At thirty-six years old, crow's feet have appeared, and it's too hard to pretend to be young.

"Go on, next one."

Ding Xiu immersed himself in choosing.

Regarding the candidate for Ding Baiying, he still wanted to find the right one, not someone with a high reputation.

After looking at seven or eight photos in a row, Ding Xiu stopped at one photo.

"This actress is good."

The people present looked at the projector and saw that the female artist was in her mid-twenties, not pretty, her lips were slightly thicker, and her face was a little fat.

Still a thick eyebrow and big eyes.

"Brother Xiu, I have an impression of this actress." Director Lu Yang said, "Her name is Xin Zhilei. She graduated from Chinese Opera and only made her debut last year. She has no works and her acting skills are a bit immature."

"This girl came alone when she auditioned."

"I saw the heroic spirit and fierceness between her eyebrows, so I stayed."

Among this list, Xin Zhilei has the worst resume. She only debuted last year and has very little acting experience. Not to mention her reputation, no one knows her.

In terms of appearance, there are many people who are more beautiful than her and have better figures than her.

Her reputation, figure, and debut experience were not as good as others. This kind of person should have been kicked out long ago, but Lu Yang felt that she had a heroic spirit and was more photogenic after changing her clothes, so he stayed.

Whether it will work or not depends on Ding Xiu.

"They look alike." Ding Xiu murmured.

This girl was very similar to the master Ding Baiying in his impression, especially her lips and eyebrows. She almost thought the master was here.

"It's just her, no one else is watching."

With just one glance, Ding Xiu decided to cast the second female lead.

Qin Gang said: "Would you like to see other ones? Lu Yang also said that she has little acting experience."

"She has little performance experience and can be trained on the spot, but her temperament and body shape are not suitable. No matter how hard she works, it will be useless. People from the Ministry of Commerce should draft a contract and let her join the group for training one month in advance."

"She doesn't know martial arts."

"If you don't know how to teach, you can always learn as long as you are willing to endure hardship."

At this moment, Ding Xiu is not an ordinary double standard.
