This actor needs more money

Li Huizhu said so, and Ding Xiu could only open the door.

The result of this is that everyone passing by has to stretch his head and take a look here.

Pointing to a chair, Li Huizhu said to Ding Xiu: "Sit down."

"I came to you because I have something important to inform you. After discussion with Lao Chen, I decided to add an extra scene for you."

"The specific script hasn't been released yet. This is the revised outline. You can take a look at it first and pay attention to the character's inner emotions when acting."

Li Huizhu handed over a few pages of a bound book, and Ding Xiu took it and flipped through the pages.

The script has changed a lot.

In the original script, Qiye was just a supporting character. Most of his appearances were to help the protagonist group solve difficulties. The biggest villain of the whole drama was Jin Guang.

In the end, in order to save everyone, he died in the hands of Jin Guang, who had learned the secret of Xuan Xin.

The first half of the current outline remains unchanged. Qiye continues to make sacrifices for the peace between good and evil. He also recognizes Sima Sanniang as his godmother. The whole family is happy and warm.

The second half has been significantly changed. How sweet it is in the beginning, it will be cruel in the end.

The setting of "The Seventh Generation Hate" adds a "Qiye". It turns out that he and Nie Xiaoqian are a couple. Only the marriage of the two can resolve the curse of the Seventh Generation Hate becoming a demon and endangering the world.

But Nie Xiaoqian couldn't fall in love with him and chose Ning Caichen.

This is equivalent to adding an emotional line to Qiye.

On the other side, Xuanxin Zhengzong pressed forward one after another, pushing every inch further, bent on annihilating the Yinyue Dynasty.

On the day of Qiye's wedding, the person who planned the massacre of the Demon Palace also exposed the body of Qiye's biological mother on the street.

After giving so much from beginning to end, all he got in return was deception, love was gone, and family affection was gone, so Qiye became obsessed with one thought.

He killed Sima Sanniang first, then Nie Xiaoqian, Zhuge Liuyun, Yan Chixia, and Jin Guang. He didn't want to let any of them go.

"That's right. The Demon Lord should have the demeanor of the Demon Lord." Ding Xiu slapped his thigh and said, "The previous seven nights have been written as bad good guys. I'm still a little used to acting."

Ding Xiu played the role of Swordsman who kills his father-in-law, and plays the role of the martial arts master who kills his junior brother and his father-in-law. Ding Xiu was very enjoyable.

This time he didn't kill anyone, he just did good deeds. His acting was very awkward, and he was a lot slower in getting into the role.

"Director Li, thank you for your trust. I will go all out for this role and will not let you down."

Li Huizhu nodded: "I believe you."

She just saw that Ding Xiu didn't look like a good person and was evil at heart. It was really difficult for him to play a good person, so he was suitable to play a villain.

"If nothing happens, you can go out first. I will give you the script as soon as it is available."

Ding Xiu sat still on the chair and frowned: "Director Li, have you forgotten something?"

"What's the matter?" Li Huizhu thought for a few seconds and couldn't figure out what she had missed.

The purpose of asking Ding Xiu to come here is to inform him to change the script, as I just said.

"Remuneration." Seeing that she didn't answer, Ding Xiu got straight to the point: "I used to get paid for supporting roles, but now I have at least twice as many roles. Do I need to pay more?"

He wanted to mention this when he was given extra scenes for the first time. Considering that there weren't many extra scenes at that time, he treated it as a favor to the director and gave her two scenes.

Now it is no longer just a matter of two shows, there have been at least dozens of additional shows, and the third male lead has been quickly changed to the first male lead, not to mention the increase in remuneration.

Isn’t this bullying an honest person?

Li Huizhu: "..."

After being in the industry for more than ten years, this was the first time she encountered a weirdo like Ding Xiu.

How many actors would love to be cast in an extra scene by her. After all, one more shot will allow the audience to see you one more time. Maybe that time, you will gain one more fan.

With a few more scenes, the actor will have more room for expression, and more audiences will see him.

Holding her forehead, Li Huizhu said: "I'll think about it."

…

"Congratulations to Chen Xiaodong for wrapping up!"

In mid-April, in Hangzhou, Chen Xiaodong couldn't feel happy at all when he heard the applause around him.

It’s only been a little over a month since he joined the group, but he’s already been cast as the male lead, can you believe it?

The most important thing is that everyone else is still there, Ding Xiu, Xu Xiyuan, Yuan Hua, Wu Jing. These people have to continue filming the remaining scenes.

Especially for Ding Xiu, after the new script came out, there were twice as many scenes as before.

A Chinese Ghost Story is a group drama, and the camera rarely focuses on one person.

Because everyone has a certain role, the role of one person alone is not too much.

As the male lead, his role originally accounted for about a quarter of the total. After Li Huizhu's rectification...he played the leading role and became a supporting actor.

Ding Xiu, on the contrary, played a supporting role and became the protagonist. Where could he go to reason with him?

"Director Li, I learned a lot from your crew. I hope I will have the opportunity to star in your play again in the future."

"Xiyuan, remember to see me when you come to Hong Kong Island in the future. I will entertain you personally. We are all friends, so don't be polite."

"Director Cheng, you have been troubled these days. I have not been able to perform many actions in person. It is really difficult to get over it."

"Wu Jing, you know my phone number. Please contact me often. Come and sit down when you are free."

"Ding Xiu, hehe, goodbye!"

…

Peiping, Qin Chao Entertainment Company, Qin Gang came back from outside and was stopped by Qin Lan at the front desk.

"Brother Qin, I have an express delivery."

"Who sent it?"

"ATV."

The only company that cooperated with ATV was A Chinese Ghost Story. Thinking that something was wrong with Ding Xiu, Qin Gang quickly broke it open.

Inside was a new contract. Qin Gang smiled as he looked at it.

Qin Lan asked: "Brother Qin, what are you so happy about?"

"It's a good thing, our Brother Xiu is probably going to show off this time."

The content of the contract is that the crew of A Chinese Ghost Story will pay Ding Patch a salary of 30,000 yuan for extra scenes.

Qin Gang didn't care much about the 30,000 yuan. What he cared about was the extra drama.

Ding Xiu is still in the initial stage. What he needs is fame, and he will talk about making money later.

Putting away the contract, Qin Gang said with a smile: "From tomorrow onwards, don't be the front desk person. Come to audition with me."

"Yeah!" Qin Lan jumped up with joy and said excitedly: "Can you tell me what role you are playing?"

She had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time and joined the company just for this day.

"The Love Story of the Tang Dynasty, starring Tang Guoqiang, Pan Yueming, and Nie Yuan. The one you want to try is Wu Zetian, probably the sixth female lead. This is a rare opportunity, so seize it."

"Uh-huh!"

Starting off as the sixth female lead is not easy, and it’s still in such a large cast.

Next to him, Wang Baoqiang, who was cleaning the house, watched this scene silently, his eyes red with envy.

People around him took off one by one, but he was still spinning around, still playing small roles most of the time, occasionally acting as a special guest, and earning 1,800 yuan a month.

Whenever you have nothing to do, go to the company to help and do what you can to make yourself visible to the leaders.

It's not that Qin Gang never took him with him. On the contrary, he took him to many crews. After seeing his image, the director only left a message to go home and wait for news, and then nothing happened.
