This actor needs more money

In the evening, Lu Yang, as the director, invited the leading actors to dinner alone.

Actors are props for the director to complete his art. The most important thing is to be happy with each other and have a tacit understanding.

It is necessary to get along with the actors on a daily basis and to know each other's ins and outs.

Otherwise, if someone gets a little emotional during the filming process, the result will be poor and it will be a loss for everyone.

Because of Da Mimi's dillydallying, Ding Xiu and Yang Mi came last.

The two pushed the door open and walked in. People at the table stood up one after another. None of the dishes on the table was touched. It was obvious that they had been waiting for a while.

"Everyone is sitting here, you are not an outsider. Don't be reserved. Today's guest is Director Lu."

"When you join the crew, everyone is a colleague. If you have any inconveniences with the director, you can tell me. I will definitely help anyone who can."

Xin Zhilei, Lei Jiayin, and Zhang Yi shuddered.

How dare they ask Ding Xiu for help.

Not to mention such a big shot, I was trained by Ding Xiu every day some time ago. I almost had a psychological shadow and just wanted to avoid him.

Lu Yang took the opportunity to say: "Brother Xiu may not be strict off-screen, but he is very kind in the group. If you have anything you don't understand about martial arts, just ask him."

Yang Mi raised her hand and said with a naughty smile: "I testify to this. Sometimes Brother Xiu is really considerate, very good at guiding people, and very patient."

Ding Xiu: "..."

What you said is best about performance.

Hearing what Yang Mi said, Xin Zhilei and the others felt a little relieved. Usually, the Ding Xiu they saw had a stern look, and he would test his martial arts moves and compete with them at every turn.

After a test, you will be more or less injured.

However, a few people still did not dare to be careless. Even if Ding Xiuhao spoke, they did not dare to be too presumptuous.

In other crews, if you offend the director or the leading male actor, at most the film will not be filmed.

Here, offending Ding Xiu may cost him his acting career for the rest of his life.

Who knows that they are employees of Qin Chao Entertainment, and Ding Xiu is the big boss.

"Brother Xiu, let me toast you." Zhang Yi poured a glass of wine and said respectfully: "I am a martial arts layman. Thank you for your patient guidance these days."

"If I do anything poorly in the future, please point it out and give me room for improvement."

Ding Xiu raised a glass to greet him: "You're welcome. I should do both public and private things. Let's make progress together."

After the two had a drink, Ding Xiu thought of something and said, "I saw in your information that you have played a soldier assault?"

"Yes, that's the one with Bao Qiang." Zhang Yi said with a smile: "I used to hear him talk about you all the time, saying that you are very powerful in martial arts. Normally, more than a dozen people are no match for you, and the actors in our crew are all very good." want to see you."

When filming soldiers' assaults, there were soldiers from the army participating together.

Wang Baoqiang talked about Ding Xiu all day long, making the soldiers want to compete with Ding Xiu.

"Is that your first play?"

Ding Xiu didn't listen to these compliments, but asked Zhang Yi about his debut.

Zhang Yi smiled and said: "Strictly speaking, yes, I have been working in the military art troupe before this."

When he mentioned the past, he still felt a little sad.

It can be said that the soldier's assault changed his destiny.

That year, he would not have signed up for a casting call in the army if it wasn't for soldiers. If he hadn't signed up, he would have retired and returned to his hometown like many comrades in one year to find a job to make a living.

Ding Xiu crossed his legs and said with a faint smile: "The second film is My Regiment, My Regiment. You are quite destined to be involved in military films, and you were lucky. Both films became popular."

"It's pretty good." Zhang Yi smiled in apology.

In fact, Team Fight is his third film. The second was a film directed by Feng Xiaogang. He played a small-time police officer, but the role was too small and he was not well-known.

But my regiment commander, my regiment, and the soldier assault did have a great influence on him.

But to say that you are lucky, that is not necessarily the case.

Before filming Soldier Assault, he stayed in the military art troupe for ten years, working in various jobs including backstage, recorder, extra, supporting role, and handyman.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he has been playing a supporting role for ten years.

He wanted to act so much.

So I cherish every shooting opportunity.

Without the accumulation of these ten years, where would squad leader Shi Jin come from, and where would Meng Fanfan come from.

In 2005, a director once told him that if an actor is still acting as a minor actor at the age of 27, he will never be famous in his life. He should change his career and go home as soon as possible without wasting time.

That year, he was twenty-seven and had just finished filming Soldiers Assault.

After listening to the director's words, my heart felt cold.

The following year, Soldier Assault was broadcast. He left an impression on the audience with his role as Shi Jin. He was extremely happy when he saw that the ratings continued to break records.

Just when he thought he was going to be famous, no one asked him to act after the TV series was aired, and no agency signed him.

Who dares to sign an actor who graduated from a non-acting major, is old, and looks ugly?

Another turn came three years later in My Regiment Fighting My Regiment. The director of this drama and the director of Soldier Assault were the same person.

When the director called him and asked him if he had time to play a role, he almost cried.

Three years, three years, there are a few actors who can afford to delay for three years.

As expected, my group leader and my group became popular.

This time it is Zhang Guoqiang who is popular.

Although his role as Meng Fanlao left a good impression on the audience, the name Zhang Yi is still unknown in the entertainment industry.

Fortunately, I have two representative works in succession, which can be considered as good. When I usually work on the crew, as long as the competing roles are not important roles, I can always make a living.

After these few years, he has given up on being the male protagonist? Never thought about it.

This time he successfully won the second male lead in Xiuchundao, paired with the popular actor Ding Xiu, and signed a contract with Qin Chao Entertainment. It was like pie in the sky for him.

The second male role has been played, maybe the first male role can also be competed for in the future.

…

Ding Xiu turned to Xin Zhilei and said, "Xiao Lei is a newcomer. If you have nothing to do, you can chat more with Zhang Yi. His literary skills are good and he will be helpful to you."

"I know how to do it, Brother Xiu. You are all my teachers. I'll do it. You can do whatever you want."

After saying this, the young Xin Zhilei picked up a glass of wine and drank it down, tears streaming down her face.

God knows how she survived until the crew started filming.

As a girl with no background and no connections, she practiced sword skills every day for the second female lead.

Jiao Didi's palms were covered with calluses, her toenails were peeled off, and she had developed eight-pack abs and biceps.

The depression in her heart seemed to explode at this moment, and she poured another glass of wine: "Let me toast you all again. You are all seniors. Please take good care of me in the future."

Just as Lu Yang was about to raise his hand to stop him, Ding Xiu said softly: "Let her drink. This is a good opportunity to integrate into the group."

Lu Yang: "..."

I have to shoot tomorrow. How can I do it when I'm drunk? I can't even shoot it.

But when Ding Xiu spoke, he couldn't say anything.

Swallow the words hard.

That night, Xin Zhilei drank a lot, and was eventually helped back to her room.

Early the next morning, she was awakened by the alarm clock and stood up, looking at her surroundings with sad eyes.

His eyes were full of confusion.

"Where is this?"
