This actor needs more money

"Brother Bing, where are you running?"

At noon, Ding Xiu called Yuan Bing, and the female assistant answered the phone. After a while, he heard Yuan Bing's panting voice.

"What are you running for? Get lost." It took Yuan Bing two seconds to realize what Ding Xiu meant: "I'm working."

He was designing martial arts moves, but he couldn't do this with a pen. He had to go out and practice martial arts in person, breaking down moves over and over again, and practicing over and over again.

After the tricks are formed, record them with a camera and practice them yourself before teaching them to the actors.

Generally, they have to design dozens of sets of movements for a group, which is a very heavy workload.

Ding Xiu smiled evilly: "I understand, I understand."

"What do you need from me?"

"Hum, that's true. Can't I come to you if nothing happens?"

"If it's okay, can you call me brother?"

"That's true. I heard that you are the martial arts instructor of Tian Long Ba Bu?"

There was the sound of drinking water coming from the other side. Yuan Bing took a breath and said, "If you don't call me, I will call you in a few days."

"Dragon Movie has many characters and a huge investment. If you come here, you will definitely have a place."

Ding Xiu's eyes lit up: "Brother Bing, which role do you think I am suitable for?"

Yuan Bing pondered for a while and said: "The three main male leads in this drama are Qiao Feng, Xu Zhu, and Duan Yu. There is no doubt that the most interesting one is Qiao Feng."

"But your age is not appropriate. Qiao Feng was already thirty years old when he appeared. No matter how much you put on makeup, you can't look that young."

"And I heard that the person chosen by Zhang Jizhong for this role is Hu Jun, and there is no chance for anyone else."

Hu Jun?

Ding Xiu had heard of this name. Not only had he heard of it, but he and Gao Yuanyuan had also watched his movie.

He is already a movie king in his thirties, a very powerful actor.

"So I can only choose between Xu Zhu and Duan Yu?"

"Yes." Yuan Bing's breath became much calmer and he said slowly: "But you have to think clearly, Xu Zhu is a monk. With Zhang Jizhong's virtue, this character must have his head shaved."

Touching his long flowing hair, Ding Xiu couldn't bear to go bald: "Then it's just Duan Yu. Is he the third male lead?"

"Your age is indeed suitable for Duan Yu." Yuan Bing nodded and said: "But this is not the third male lead. Xu Zhu and Duan Yu have similar roles. Who is the second male lead and who is the third male lead depends on the actor who plays the role. It’s a big place.”

Ding Xiu understood. The crew watched the food being served.

Which actor is more famous will have his name brought forward when it is broadcast.

Just like Swordsman, Lin Pingzhi was originally the second male lead because he was not well-known. After the show was aired, Wei Zi's name was in front of him in the cast list.

"Okay, then I will play Duan Yu."

"Brother, don't tell me. It's no big deal. I'm neither a producer nor a director. You have to come and audition."

Ding Xiu smiled awkwardly: "I was just talking casually. By the way, if the crew has any good female characters, I have a good friend who also wants to audition."

"There are more female characters in Dragon Ball than there are male leads. You ask your "good friend" to submit a resume first. I will be there during the audition."

Among Jin Yong's novels, the two with the most female characters are The Legend of the Dragon and The Deer and the Cauldron.

From Wang Yuyan to Azi, Azhu, Kang Min, Mu Wanqing, Zhong Ling, Dao Baifeng, Ruan Xingzhu, Qin Hongmian, Gan Baobao, and Abi, there are not too many female characters in Tianlong.

"Thanks, I'll treat you to a drink another day."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Xiu went to the attic in the backyard, dug out Tian Long Ba Bu in the study room on the second floor, and sat in front of the small window to read.

I bought the book yesterday because I didn’t have time to read it before Qin Lan arrived.

Sure enough, beauty is misleading.

Ding Xiu prepared a pen and a piece of paper. Starting from the first page, Ding Xiu read through the lines at a glance, occasionally excerpting notes.

Now that you have decided to act, how can you not prepare in advance.

He doesn't think that he can act in whatever he wants because of the hit "A Chinese Ghost Story".

There are many more popular people in the market than him.

As Qin Gang said, he has to fight for service and price.

Just like the girls in the club, in addition to competing for price, they also have to compete for beauty and skills.

The price can be negotiated, beauty is natural, but the skills need to be practiced.

Otherwise, Fang Zhongyong will be eliminated by society sooner or later.

"ah!"

At night, the lights in the study were on, and Ding Xiu stretched and yawned.

I have finished reading the novel, and I have written down five or six pages of notes densely on the paper.

Below each character's name is written character information, the chapter in which they appear, and the number of roles they play.

…

At the end of the year, amid the heavy snowfall, news about the casting of the "Dragon" series spread like wildfire.

Many actors in the entertainment industry are ready to make a move, and major brokerage companies are showing off their talents. Those who are interested can directly call Zhang Jizhong.

If you have a moderate relationship, you can find a director or an assistant director.

It doesn't matter, just wait.

In order to prevent the role from being confirmed early, Ding Xiu called Zhang Jizhong in advance and expressed his desire to play Duan Yu.

Zhang Jizhong's original words were to ask him to come over and have a look during the audition.

Neither agreed nor refused.

Overall a good thing.

In late December, Qin Gang drove Ding Xiu to audition.

"I also wanted Qin Lan to come over, but I didn't expect you to beat me to it."

"You're welcome." Ding Xiu said with his eyes closed in the row behind Santana.

Glancing at the rearview mirror, Qin Gang sighed: "What did I say back then? I told you to take it easy and don't put my artist in confinement. Why did you promise me?"

As for Ding Xiu and Qin Lan, anyone in the company with eyes can see it.

What's more, Qin Lan hasn't covered up yet. He often opens his mouth to repair his brother and shuts his mouth to repair his brother.

In other words, men should be unmarried and women should be unmarried, otherwise there would be endless gossip.

Ding Xiu opened his eyes: "I promised you, isn't this because you are not in confinement?"

Qin Gang: "..."

Is that what you mean?

That's all, the deal is done, there's no point in saying this.

With Qin Lan's appearance and figure, Wang Baoqiang's heart was moved, let alone LSP Ding Xiu.

"Dragon Movie is a big crew. Even with your recommendation, Qin Lan may not be able to get in. If not, don't force it. I'll make sure you get in first."

Ding Xiu asked Qin Lan to submit her resume, but she did not discuss it with anyone and submitted the female No. 5 Mu Wanqing.

He hoped that Ding Xiu wouldn't be confused, just forget it if he succeeds in the audition, and don't stupidly tell the director that he won't act if Qin Lan doesn't join the cast.

A normal Ding Xiu would be sober, but a young man who fell in love couldn't tell.

It’s all about the small head controlling the big head.

When the brain gets hot, everyone becomes angry and becomes a beauty.

Not to mention a show, he can even kill people.

"Don't worry, I'm very clear-headed. If I can act, I'll act. If I can't, forget it. I won't get myself involved."

One by one, the two chatted all the way to the location where the crew was trying out the show.

There was a tacit understanding during the whole process that Wang Baoqiang was not mentioned.

Baoqiang's side is temporarily useless. Qin Gang has promoted countless crews, but no one wants him.

That face doesn't play a role.

One thing is that when Qin Gang signed Bao Qiang to join the company, he saw that he had talent in acting.

But after so long, and after spending a lot of resources, he still couldn't get up. He had a little self-doubt, and didn't know whether his original decision was wrong or right.

We both joined the company together, and Ding Xiu started out very quickly.

Now even Qin Lan is getting better. Next year, Love Story of the Tang Dynasty and My Fair Princess will be broadcast and will take off immediately.

Except for Wang Baoqiang, everyone else who signed the contract was more or less good.

Baoqiang can only stand still.

The difference is that I used to be a small player, but now I am a special agent.

Shangkancheng Apartment is one of the many theater audition spots in Peiping. The address is relatively remote, on Nanxie Street of the East Third Ring Road.

When Ding Xiu arrived, there were already many people in the hall.

There are too many characters in Tian Long Ba Bu, and the male and female roles are auditioned separately, at different times.

The audition today was for a male role, and all the people who came were men.

Some were sitting on the sofa, some were standing against the wall, some were squatting on the floor, and some were chatting in small groups who knew each other.

In order to increase the sense of immersion, some even came dressed in ancient costumes, shivering from the cold.

As soon as Ding Xiu entered the door, many eyes gathered.

"That's it, here comes another competitor. It seems that the role of Duan Yu will be gone. If I had known, I wouldn't have voted for Duan Yu."

"Not necessarily, maybe he tried Xu Zhu?"

"Is it possible? You don't even believe it if he tries to show Xu Zhu with his appearance."

"Brother, who is this guy? Is he famous?"

"You don't even know Ding Xiu? Lin Pingzhi, who plays The Swordsman, is famous for his reputation in A Chinese Ghost Story and the Seven Nights, which became a hit not long ago."

"Not only that, he also won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival."

"No matter how awesome you are, can you still be as awesome as the awesome guy sitting in front of you?"

Looking at the person chatting and laughing on the sofa, no one said anything.

Lin Zhiying, a little whirlwind in Asia, a young idol, very popular.

After the Little Tigers disbanded, he was the younger generation in the province to carry the banner.

Just like on Hong Kong Island, he sings and acts well, and he is a person who has all three abilities in singing, film and television.

In recent years, Lin Zhiying has gotten older, nearly 30 years old, her popularity has declined sharply, and her career ambitions are not strong. She is not as good as when she was at her peak, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Among those who came to audition today, he is the most popular.

"Hello, Brother Xiu, my name is Du Cun, a junior from Beidian. You can sit here."

"Why are you so embarrassed?" As soon as Ding Xiu came over, someone made room for him. He was a student, which made him feel quite embarrassed.

"It's okay, I just need to go to the toilet..."

Before Du Cun finished speaking, Ding Xiu had already sat down.

Without waiting too long, the audition began.

A staff member shouted: "Please keep quiet, and the next person whose name is read will go in."

"Mr. Lin Zhiying."

"Mr. Gaofu."

"Mr. Ding Xiu."

It was obvious that the crew was also auditioning for the cast. After waiting for less than half an hour for the second auditioner to come out, Ding Xiu stood up.

When he passed by Gao Fu, the other party smiled and nodded.

When I opened the door to the audition room, most of them were acquaintances.

In the middle is Zhang Jizhong, on the left is Yuan Bing and Zhao Jian.

Zhao Jian was a staff member of Swordsman. He was one of the persons in charge of the action department at the time, and he also had a guest role as Fei Bin.

This time, the shotgun was replaced by a cannon. The sign in front of him said director.

There are three men sitting on Zhang Jizhong's right. The sign on the sign also says director, but Ding Xiu doesn't recognize them.

Zhang Jizhong introduced the three unfamiliar directors: "Ding Xiu, I played Lin Pingzhi in the previous drama Swordsman."

"I have worked with so many actors, and his martial arts is the best, bar none."

Hearing Zhang Dabeard's compliment, Ding Xiu smiled slightly without being arrogant or impatient.

It's done this time.

"It's just that it's a bit inappropriate to play Duan Yu. This guy is very shrewd. If he can't act that silly, he is suitable to play a ruthless villain."

Ding Xiu's smile froze on his face.

I heard Wu Jing say in the past that if you perform the same play too many times, the path of the play will be easily fixed, and the plays that come to you later will all be of the same type.

I didn't expect that this day would come to him.

"Director Zhang, I can actually play a good guy. I think the role of Duan Yu suits me very well."

Ding Xiu needs to fight for himself.

He has read all the novels, and Duan Yu's wife is Yi Shui in the play.

Having more wives is the next best thing, but also having more movies, so the remuneration will naturally be higher.

PS: Today I want to challenge 10,000 yuan. I hope everyone will give me a monthly vote and don’t be disrespectful... bang bang bang (kowtow)

Went to eat, the next chapter will be posted at five o'clock.
