This actor needs more money

Sha Po Lang 2 made Wu Jing very popular again. Together with the previous work Wolf Warrior 1, his popularity in the past two years has become even more popular than at his peak ten years ago, and he has been receiving script invitations all of a sudden.

Surround yourself with good people and friends.

No matter where he goes, Wu Jing is always a welcome guest, and his whole person is enriched a lot. He dares to joke with top stars, chats and laughs with famous hosts, and accepts interviews with his legs crossed.

In front of netizens, he also speaks with confidence.

It is said that red aura nourishes a person, but the Wu Jing of three years ago and the Wu Jing of now are simply worlds apart.

But the only regret about Sha Po Lang 2 may be that Ding Xiu did not appear at the tour and premiere.

He was busy filming Crime City and couldn't spare his schedule, so he could only let people from the company use his Weibo to interact with the crew.

In addition, Ding Xiu did not pay too much attention to this drama beforehand.

The shooting period was so short, and there weren't many lines throughout the whole process. It was more of a perfunctory thing, without any care.

Every day on the set, the only thing I have to do is beat up the main characters.

There is no difficulty for him.

From the beginning to the end, Ding Xiu never thought that he would become popular. His current results were a complete mistake.

Although others did not pay much attention to the comments from netizens, the company's brokerage team followed up the entire process.

Netizens say they like him playing the villain, don't say it, it makes sense.

After debuting for more than ten years, Ding Xiu has filmed many movies, so many that he may not remember every movie.

But most of the characters that audiences remember are villains.

For example, in the debut film, Lin Pingzhi, who is proud of his martial arts skills, is superb with his sword. The highlights from back then are still at the level of martial arts textbooks now.

He is crazy and crazy, and his crazy criticism of the blind young man makes the audience hate him at all.

There is also Murong Fu, the noble son of the Yan Dynasty. He is handsome in appearance, strong in martial arts, smart and perseverant. He has the manners of a noble and the free and easy manner of a man of the world.

As for the pinnacle villain, it should be the Seven Nights Demon from A Chinese Ghost Story.

He was obviously a villain, but he was played as more of a protagonist than the protagonist. In the play, the Seven Nights Demon King killed his beloved woman, his godmother, and most of the protagonists.

Even so, the audience only liked him and couldn't hate him at all. After this drama, Ding Xiu's fame began to skyrocket.

But everyone found that since he became popular, Ding Xiu has played more protagonists, but he is not as good as the villain before.

There aren't many names that people remember.

Except Apple.

It’s not that all the films he made are bad. On the contrary, the quality of Ding Xiu’s films is very high, and many of them are excellent films.

But compared with the villain he played, it's almost boring.

Many people in the industry said that this actor is a born villain and it would be a pity to play a good guy.

When the company's team reported the feedback from netizens to Ding Xiu in South Korea, Ding Xiu just laughed it off.

He also feels that he is comfortable playing the villain.

But sometimes you have no choice but to play the villain for the rest of your life.

The villain is usually the second male lead or the third male lead. They are not at the same price as the first male lead. Sometimes, the market will force him to make a choice.

If he were a pure actor, maybe he would play more in-depth roles, even villains.

But it's a pity that he is not. Filming is more about making money and making ends meet.

If there is a script with a male protagonist, priority will definitely be given to scripts with a male protagonist.

Maybe one day when he is no longer obsessed with money and fame, he may satisfy the audience and take on some roles that everyone likes.

…

"Hey, Brother Xiu, Sha Po Lang 2 is a hit. It has exceeded 300 million in a week. The director asked me to ask you when you are free. Come over and have a celebration party."

On this day, Ding Xiu was doing tricks with the extras on the Crime City crew, when Wu Jing called.

Announcement of good news.

Ding Xiu smiled and said, "I'm busy here, so I might not be able to go. Just be happy."

"That won't work. No one in the crew can be missing you. In this case, I will ask them to wait until you are free, and then hold the closing banquet."

"That's right, can they listen to you?"

"That's necessary. I still have some use for what I say."

Ding Xiu chuckled: "You're a little too arrogant."

It is easy to tell from Wu Jing's tone that his confidence is indeed different from before. It seems that this drama has given him a big turnaround.

Think about it, Wu Jing has done two things in the past few years, directed and acted in Wolf Warriors, and filmed Sha Po Lang 2.

The combined box office revenue of the two dramas has exceeded 1 billion, and it will be even higher in the future.

The two films have grossed more than 1 billion in box office. Looking at the entertainment industry, there are not many actors who can be so powerful. It is normal to be a bit eccentric.

"What are you talking about? They are the ones who lift me up."

On the other end of the phone, Wu Jing said a little embarrassed.

Ding Xiu frowned and asked after a few seconds: "There are quite a few male leads looking for you these days, right?"

"It's not a lot, it's a lot, and the pay for each film is higher than the previous one. The highest one is 30 million, 30 million. I didn't dare to think about it before..."

When talking about the 30 million yuan salary, Wu Jing's excitement can be heard over the phone.

In more than 20 years since his debut, this is the first time someone has given him this price. To say he is not excited would be a lie. He has woken up laughing several times.

Now the front door of his house is really open to traffic.

At any party, there are many well-known directors and A-list celebrities who take the initiative to say hello to him.

"Do you still remember how many people complimented you when you got married?"

Ding Xiu's irrelevant words poured cold water on Wu Jing, reminding him of bad memories.

When he got married, Wu Jing invited a lot of people. After so many years since his debut, he thought he still had a lot of friends.

As a result, very few people came.

From Hong Kong Island came a man named Yam Dahua.

None of the people who used to drink, chat, and talk about friends and brothers were seen.

Ding Xiu continued: "I can understand your current mood, but just be happy for a while, don't get too obsessed with it."

"You know the ups and downs of the entertainment industry better than I do. There are not many true friends in this industry."

"The next thing you should do is polish the script of Wolf Warrior 2, select locations, make props, select actors, and raise investment... instead of participating in a meaningless drinking party."

"There are many famous people, so I will give you these six words to keep your tail between your legs and be a good person."

Wu Jing originally came to announce the good news to Ding Xiu, but he didn't expect to be taught a lesson.

Although he knew Ding Xiu had good intentions, he still felt a little uncomfortable. As an adult, he thought he had a good handle on fame and fortune.

To be popular, he became famous when he was twenty years old.

Gone with the wind has passed her age.

So Ding Xiu didn't listen much to what he said.

After hanging up the phone, he continued to attend wine parties every day and got to know his boss. During this period, he also integrated resources and opened a film and television production company.

Not only that, the Film Association gave him a nominal position, allowing him to attend meetings every year and give a speech as a Mesozoic actor.

Even Wu Jing didn't notice that he was even more popular now than when he was twenty years old. People around him didn't dare to say anything about him, they just kept praising him.

My pillowmate Xie Nan told me a few times, but it was of no use.

As his wife, Xie Nan is the most aware of Wu Jing's changes. Wu Jing has indeed become popular, and logically speaking, there will be no drift.

But this time it's different.

Because Wu Jing went from being popular to not being popular, and then to being popular now, it was not an easy journey.

As depressing as he was in the past ten years, he is as flamboyant as he is now.

It was because he had seen too many human feelings during the low period of his life that he was frantically trying to make up for it now.

Of course he knows what he is doing, but he has to tell those who used to look down on him that I am now famous.

…

"Mr. Ding, get ready, it's your turn soon."

Crime City crew, the staff reminded Ding Xiu.

After the translator translated, Ding Xiu understood, nodded, and made an OK gesture.

This is not his first time filming in South Korea, the last time was New World.

After staying here for so long, he often dialogues with rival actors. After a long time, he can understand some Korean and can do simple conversations.

It's just awkward to say, so I don't usually say it.

Ding Xiu took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and then found a mirror to look at his own image.

The hair that had not been trimmed for a long time was now shoulder length, the beard on his lips was darkened, and the stubble on his chin was also sparse.

With the cigarette in his mouth, he put his hands behind his head and tied his long hair into a bun.

Then put on the long military green woolen coat used for filming.

After thinking about it, I asked the staff on site for a pair of sunglasses.

All of a sudden, the smell of the underworld big brother hit me.

The content of this scene is to collect debts for others.

He demanded 200 million Korean won in return, and if he didn't pay back, he would break him off with a hammer. He was extremely arrogant.

After the filming officially started, I watched Ding Xiu smoking a cigarette, talking and laughing, and smashing people's arms with a hammer.

The staff on site shuddered.

The hammer was made of plastic and wouldn't hurt anyone, but everyone was scared when they saw Ding Xiu's uncharacteristic look.

I have long heard that this actor is very powerful, especially in the field of villains, and he is very good at it.

But they don't know exactly what rank it is.

When I saw it today, it was indeed extraordinary.

Damn, that's too perverted.

It is exactly the same as the legendary "Zhang Qian Egg".

The character played by Ding Xiu is named Zhang Qiandan, who was originally a gangster in the Northeast.

Because he had committed a crime, he took his two younger brothers to Yanbian to make a living. He was extremely ruthless and wiped out several gangs in a short time.

This person did exist in history.

It’s just that his name is not Zhang Qiandan.

But because it was so long ago, everyone didn’t have a deep impression of that person. They only knew a little about him from the media and newspapers back then.

Ever since Ding Xiu came to the crew, everyone has been deeply impressed.

They don't know what the real Zhang Qiandan looks like, but they feel that Ding Xiu himself is Zhang Qiandan, and this person should really look like this.

It took ten minutes to finish filming the debt collection scene, and Ding Xiu went on to put on makeup for the second scene.

Go to the boss of the Viper Gang to ask for the account.

"Young man, you are still very arrogant. It seems you don't know the rules here."

After the three people came to the door, the leader of the Viper Gang said to Zhang Qiandan while patting brother Zhang Qiandan's head with a smile.

After speaking, he spat the old phlegm on the IOU, and then patted the IOU on Zhang Qiandan's woolen coat.

Extremely arrogant.

The viper thinks his words will work.

The next second, Zhang Qiandan frowned, took out a switchblade and stabbed the venomous snake in the neck.

Afraid of blood splattering on his clothes, he took a step back after stabbing him.

The two brothers beside him took out their knives and continued to hit them without thinking.

In just a few seconds, the local Viper Gang boss was stabbed dozens of times, all the way to the front bumper of the car. He sat on the ground with his back against the car and vomited blood.

The little brother brought by the viper was frightened. He didn't expect this group of people to be so cruel.

Ignoring the seven or eight younger members of the Viper Gang, Zhang Qiandan came to the Viper and stabbed him twice more until the opponent died.

Blood was inevitably splashed on the face during the process.

Wiping the back of the hand holding the knife, he looked at the second leader of the Viper Gang and continued to ask them for debts.

The second master swallowed his saliva, for fear of offending this murderous god, he also accepted the debt and said that he would pay it back.

Zhang Qiandan was not satisfied with this, and even proposed to take over the Viper Gang.

With a glance, he said, who is in favor and who is against.

During the break, the crew member said cautiously: "Director, would you like to check his background? I don't think he is acting."

"Maybe he has a criminal record, but ordinary actors are not so vicious."

There are many perverted actors in the Korean entertainment industry.

There are many people who are good at playing villains, but there are really not many who look like Ding Xiu, it's so lifelike.

So much so that no one dared to talk to him while he was sitting there during the break.

I was afraid that he would take out the switchblade the next second.

The director glared: "Don't talk nonsense. He is a very popular actor in China. It was not easy to hire him."

He also watched a lot of Ding Xiu's works and felt that this man was good at playing villains, so he specially invited him over.

As for the effect, there is no need to say.

His acting skills are really awesome, and those who didn’t know better thought he was a real gangster.

Let’s not talk about the scene, let’s just say that when the scene is not filming, Ding Xiu just sits there smoking, either with his legs crossed or lying down.

There is an air of hostility and charlatanism about him that no actor has.

I just can't find the slightest bit of star-like appearance.

It's not that Ding Xiu is dressed up, in fact, this is his true appearance.

Previously in China, because he was so famous, people would take pictures of him wherever he went, and he had to be careful about his image in public places.

After arriving here, there was less focus and he was more relaxed.

Naturally, I started to follow my heart.

No one dares to be more ruthless than him.

Even the other protagonist of this film, Ma Dongxi.

"Brother Xiu, do you smoke?"

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. The horse, which was 1.8 meters tall and weighed 90 kilograms, came to Ding Xiu and said hello with a smile.

At 1.8 meters tall, he is not very tall, almost the same as Ding Xiu, but his 90 kilogram body size is a bit scary.

Especially when I exercise all year round, I can feel the muscle strength through my clothes.

Don't tell me, it's quite bluffing.

In the play, Ma Dongxi beats people in a simple Sanda style. Generally, there is no need for a second move. When facing the enemy, either a slap or a punch will make the opponent lie down.

But in Ding Xiu's case, it's useless.

Just by looking at Ma Dongxi's fists, he knew that this man was not good at fighting, and his muscles were only made by training in the gym.

Horses have small fists, thin fingers, lots of flesh on them and no calluses, and the fist bones are not obvious.

This kind of punch doesn't hurt at all.

In the first two days after joining the group, the two of them even quarreled. Ma Dongxi couldn't survive a round at all, and it was all because of the beating.

After a few sparring sessions, Xiao Ma became more honest.

Brother Tiantian is in front and behind.

If he has nothing to do, if Ding Xiu is in a good mood, he can give him some pointers and teach him what a flat-A critical hit is.
