This actor needs more money

"For the moment, I only know that it is a period martial arts film. We need to find out more about the specific situation. Let's rush to the set first and then we can slowly find out the situation."

"Time waits for no one. I'm worried that if I get there too late, there won't be any soup left."

With that said, Qin Gang gave the gift box to Ding Xiu: "These are the imported perfume and lipstick you asked me to buy. They are expensive. I will deduct them from the remuneration of your next film."

After taking the box, Ding Xiu said: "I asked you to borrow the money directly and it doesn't matter whether you borrow it or not. Who's to blame?"

"Aren't we afraid that you will spend your money in inappropriate ways?"

Ding Xiu already has the potential to become a hit, and there are two dramas that have not been aired yet, A Chinese Girl and Yi Tian.

When these two dramas are aired, he will truly hit the road and have his own place in the entertainment industry.

At this critical moment, you must not let anything slip. If there is a scandal, it will definitely be a huge blow to your career.

Putting away the toothbrush and cup, Ding Xiu said: "Don't be anxious about the audition. We'll go there tomorrow."

"Brother, can I not be in a hurry? This is Zhang Yimou. The delay may be gone in one night."

"It's gone." Ding Xiu said calmly: "The first male lead is Li Lianjie, the third male lead is Chen Daoming, and the female lead is Zhang Manyu."

"Currently, the showrunners are in contact with Tony Leung and are considering letting him play the second male lead. If nothing else happens, it will most likely be him."

Qin Gang was stunned: "How did you know?"

The news he just received this morning was just a few words. Ding Xiu knew everything about him, and he knew exactly who was playing who.

Even Liang Chaowei, who has not yet decided, knows.

"I just finished chatting with Cheng Xiaodong. He told me that he asked me to audition for male number four tomorrow. He will be there then."

"Besides, this play is not open to external auditions, so it's useless to be in a hurry."

"Don't even think about it, how could Zhang Yimou's film be short of actors? There are plenty of actors, so even if they don't pay for it, they will come."

"Compared with big-name stars, ordinary actors have no advantage at all. Where do they get the chance to audition?"

"If Cheng Xiaodong doesn't recommend it, I guess we won't even be able to get in through the hotel gate."

Ding Xiu's words made Qin Gang stunned for a moment: "What did you secretly do after we left last night? Did you wake up and understand so much?"

"I didn't do anything. I took two shots. I woke up feeling refreshed in the morning. You can try it too."

…

In the morning, Ding Xiu put on casual clothes and simply washed his face. He went out and got into Qin Gang's car. The two of them came to the hotel where the audition was held.

After arriving at the door, he called Cheng Xiaodong. After a while, Cheng Xiaodong came down in person and took Ding Xiu to a large, empty private room.

As soon as the door was opened, the private room was filled with familiar faces.

There are three-part movie queen Zhang Ziyi, international movie queen Gong Li, kung fu boy Wu Jing, Hong Kong star Donnie Yen, mainland star Zhao Wenzhuo, and some artists who look familiar but can't name them.

Compared with their popularity, Ding Xiu, who had just returned from Cannes, was inconspicuous at all.

"If I go, you will be everywhere." Wu Jing's expression changed drastically when he saw Ding Xiu.

Ding Xiu smiled and said, "What a coincidence. Are you also trying to play the fourth male role?"

Hearing that there was another competitor, Zhen Zi turned his head and looked at Ding Xiu a few times.

He failed miserably in the appearance department.

It seems that I can only win back with my martial arts and acting skills.

"It's over." Wu was half-shocked when he heard that Ding Xiu was auditioning for the fourth male role: "Now I have no chance."

Do you want to be so exaggerated? Zhen Zidan is a little unbelieving.

He is also from the Shichahai Martial Arts Team, so he and Wu Jing are brothers in the same discipline, and both of them have won championships.

But the relationship is not good, very average.

Because he was more than ten years older than Wu Jing, Wu Jing didn't even join the martial arts team when he left it

This time we are competitors. In order to compete for male number four, both sides are holding back their energy. They are polite on the surface but full of gunpowder secretly.

Now that Wu Jing was losing his momentum when Ding Xiu came, he couldn't help but be curious.

"Wu Jing, who is this? Do you know him?" Zhen Zidan asked politely.

"Ding Xiu, my friend, he is also an actor and a martial arts practitioner. He is super powerful and can fight very well. I can't even make a single move in his hands."

Hey, when Wu Jing blew it like this, not only Zhen Zidan, but also everyone in the room became curious.

Zhang Yimou is filming a martial arts film this time. There is no doubt that martial arts skills are very important.

Donnie Yen, Zhao Wenzhuo, and Wu Jing are currently the popular candidates for the male number four, and it seems that Ding Xiu must be added now.

Walking up to Ding Xiu, Zhen Zidan stretched out his hand and said, "My name is Zhen Zidan. I am also a martial arts practitioner. I have time to spar."

"Farewell, you can't beat him." Wu Jing advised.

"It's okay. Use force to make friends."

"Ding Xiu's actual combat ability is very strong. You really can't beat him. You have no eyesight with your fists and feet. What should you do if you accidentally get injured?"

Ding Xiu saw that Wu Jing seemed to be a peacemaker, but he was actually trying to make trouble.

The one on the left is Ding Xiu Niubi, the one on the right is that you, Zhen Zidan, are no good. They are both martial arts practitioners. Who can bear this?

In fact, Wu Jing was really arrogant. He had never been very fond of Zhen Zidan, his senior brother.

The reason is that my senior brother has been drinking foreign ink for a few days and doesn't like them practicing traditional martial arts.

I heard that Donnie Yen was a thorn in the side when he was in the martial arts team in the early years.

What he pursued was practical martial arts, but the martial arts team couldn't give it to him, so he left and went to learn wrestling, Sanda, and boxing.

Over the years, a group of people have been recruited, known as the Zhen Family Class, and they are very popular on Hong Kong Island.

"Then I have to give it a try." Zhen Zidan chuckled.

He was really polite at the beginning, saying that he had time to discuss, but in fact everyone knew that it would take years of monkey years and horses and months to get out of this door.

But after being so excited by Wu Jing, he suddenly became more competitive.

What's wrong with Chuanwu? Doesn't he know how much he weighs? He himself was trained in martial arts, and he had never practiced anything like Bagua Dao, Tai Chi Sword, or Eyebrow Qi Gun.

He knows better than anyone whether it is lethal or not.

"Are you good at fighting?" Ding Xiu asked, holding hands.

"Yes, he is so capable." Wu Jing started to get angry again: "My senior brother combines Chinese and Western skills. He is also good at martial arts, wrestling, karate, taekwondo, and Sanda."

The bastard eats weights, and today he is determined to see Zhen Zi spread out, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable all over.

Ding Xiu's eyes shone, thinking that there were so many people who must be masters among masters.

"Then you have to practice."

Is this a challenge? Zhen Zidan said: "Definitely!"

The box here was full of gunpowder, but the room next door was extremely quiet. Cheng Xiaodong was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, holding several actors' information in his hand and looking at it.

He is a martial arts instructor and has to design martial arts movements based on the actor's characteristics and the director's requirements.

It was the first time for Zhang Yimou to film a martial arts film, and he didn’t know much about martial arts, which is why he was at the scene.

In addition to Cheng Xiaodong, the deputy director of the crew is also there.

More than half an hour later, Zhang Yimou arrived. He looked like a middle-aged man in his early fifties, with a crew cut and thin cheeks. He looked very ordinary.

The clothes are also very simple.

Not like a director, more like a middle school teacher.
