This actor wants to pay more

Chapter 187 Cousin, Have You Carried Your Cell Phone?

Qin Chao Entertainment, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Ding Xiu was sitting on the boss chair, staring at the computer, and following the movement of the mouse on his fingers, his eyes also sank.

A while ago, I was busy with commercial performances... commercial performances must be endless, and I made a lot of money, and Ding Xiu, who had little money, directly pushed it away.

If there is time there, it is better to rest.

In the past few days, he has nothing to do and comes to the company to work, um, to read novels.

What I'm going to read here is an urban novel, with high artistic content, sophisticated writing, and ups and downs in the plot.

The actor's name is Wang Shen, just married, and his wife works in an educational institution.

In the office, apart from the sound of Ding Xiu drinking water from time to time, there was also the rustling sound of pages turning.

This is Zhao Liying sorting out contracts.

Ding Xiu has a contract every time he takes on a commercial performance or a TV series. In order to avoid arguing with Party A and the company in the future, these contracts cannot be lost.

In a year, he has hundreds of contracts, and in a few years, the height is several meters. There is nothing else in the study at home, so there are so many contracts.

When he was idle, he drove the contract to the company, asked Zhao Liying to sort it out, sealed the files, and put them in several filing cabinets in the office.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

Hearing the knock on the door, Ding Xiu didn't raise his head: "Come in!"

Yang Siwei pushed open the door and said happily: "Brother Xiu, the Shendiao crew called just now, and they decided to ask you to play the leading role."

Ding Xiu raised his head sharply: "Has the contract script come out?"

"Not yet, it's being printed in the printing room. I'll come here in advance to inform you of the good news."

"Okay, I get it."

Picking up the thermos, Ding Xiu turned his body around, facing the floor-to-ceiling windows, gently blowing on the hot air, leaning back against the chair, feeling very good.

It's not easy to play the leading role in a movie these days. Before he was able to play in Legend of Sword and Fairy, the company invested a lot of money and the house was mortgaged.

That is to say, Zhang Jizhong does not open a brokerage company himself, and there are no artists under his banner, otherwise outsiders will not be able to grab his leading actor.

"Xiao Zhao, go to the printing room to get the contract and script of The Legend of Condor Heroes."

Stretch your sore neck, Zhao Liying in a white shirt and hip-wrapping skirt stood up and said, "Okay Brother Xiu."

Ding Xiu turned his head to look at him: "Watch the printing, and don't come back until the printing is finished."

The little girl has been busy all morning, and I asked her to get the contract just to let her have a rest.

The male lead's script is very long, plus the contract, he can't come back in ten or twenty minutes.

Sipping tea, whistling, and basking in the sunlight coming in from outside the glass, Ding Xiu's mood suddenly improved.

Thinking of something, he took out his cell phone and called Zhao Jian.

"Old Zhao, don't worry, if it wasn't for you, I, the number one male, would have a drink with you when I'm on the set."

Zhao Jian told him about Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan's two competitors.

One is from the investor, and the other is recommended by Yu Min, director of literary and opera. Lao Zhang is a little hesitant.

To be able to make such a quick decision this time, Ding Xiu guessed that Zhao Jian was indispensable to speak in the middle.

Speaking of which, he and Yu Min also knew each other. He was one of the directors in Tianlong Babu, but they didn't know each other well, and their relationship was not as good as that of Zhao Jian.

"Haha, drinking is fine, but you thanked the wrong person. I really couldn't help you with this matter. It was the heroine Liu Yifei who made Lao Zhang's decision. She strongly recommended you."

"You weren't there at the time. Her heroine is not the posture that you don't want to act. Tsk tsk tsk. Speaking of which, you two have filmed so many scenes and played so many couples, isn't there something wrong?"

"My buddy is very curious, tell me, I promise not to spread it."

It's not a big deal in the circle to be in love because of drama, it's normal.

Acting as husband and wife, lovers, we are together every day, cuddling and hugging, you are thick and I am thick, and some have kissing scenes, sex scenes, after a few months of getting along, it is normal to have a deep relationship.

Although it is said that after the filming of the crew, the relationship will gradually fade after they leave the play after a long time, but Ding Xiu and Liu Yifei have acted as couples several times.

Ding Xiu rolled his eyes: "What do you mean filming so many movies, just two movies, Heaven and Dragon Babu, Legend of Sword and Fairy, how could it be as mysterious as you said?"

"Ham, I understand, keep it secret, right? Let me know in advance when the official announcement will be made, so that I can prepare the broadcast time of the TV series in advance, and save the promotional expenses."

"Old Zhao, let's do some personnel work, he is still a child."

"What kind of child, they are all adults at the age of eighteen. Isn't it normal to fall in love? Get on the bus first, pay for the ticket later, and get the certificate in a few years..."

"Don't let Aunt Liu hear your words, or I'm afraid she will kill me."

Ding Xiu chatted with Zhao Jian. More than ten minutes later, Zhao Liying came in on high heels with a contract and a script in her arms.

After being an assistant for so long, the little girl also began to learn how to dress.

I remember when I first came here, I still had canvas shoes, jeans, cheap short sleeves, and my hair was tied up with rubber bands.

I don't know when, her rubber band disappeared, her long black hair was permed and hung loose around her waist, her eyebrows were sculpted, makeup and lipstick, her clothes were also fashionable, and she looked slim.

Compared with last year, they are completely different people.

Came to the desk, saw Ding Xiu on the phone, Zhao Liying didn't bother him, put the contract script neatly on the table, checked the amount of water in the thermos, and wanted to add some for him.

Suddenly, with a glance, he saw the computer screen, which was the novel Ding Xiu was reading.

In an instant, his face was red, his ears were red, he was at a loss, and he hurried back to his post.

From time to time, she secretly looked at Ding Xiu out of the corner of her eye, and slandered: "He's pretty handsome, and he has a lot of girlfriends, why do you still look at this stuff?"

With Ding Xiu's intuition, it was impossible not to notice after being scanned for several times. When he looked at the computer, he thought of Zhao Liying's actions again.

"Cough, old Zhao, hang up first, I have something to do."

"Hey, is there a virus in the computer? Why did the page change, and something like this pops up, Xiao Zhao, please ask someone to fix it later, forget it, don't fix it, I'll fix it myself."

He was afraid that he would find a computer repairer at random, and after some repairs, the contents of the hard drive would explode.

Turning off the computer, Ding Xiu started to read the script.

Before doing it differently, he must have read the contract immediately, and turned to the last page, where the salary is.

But not this time.

In order to get the male number one, I promised Zhang Dabeard that he was very cheap.

Presumably the salary offered by the crew is not much higher.

Ding Xiu read the script seriously, and Zhao Liying calmed down as she sorted out the materials, not daring to disturb him.

On the wrist, the hands of the watch ticked and ticked, and every minute and every second passed quickly.

From time to time, Ding Xiu used a pen to outline the script paragraphs.

The sun gradually receded from the office, and a fiery red sunset was reflected behind Ding Xiu.

"That night, you didn't reject me"

"That night, I hurt you"

"That night, your face was full of tears"

Xie Jun broke the tranquility that night, Ding Xiu turned off the alarm clock on his mobile phone, and put away the script and contract.

It's five o'clock, it's time to get off work.

It is impossible to work overtime. He came to the company to fish during working hours, and it is even more impossible to stay longer after get off work.

"Get off work." Ding Xiu shouted to Zhao Liying who was still sorting out the materials.

With slender fingers, she hooked her long messy hair behind her ears, Zhao Liying said: "I'll be fine soon, Brother Xiu, you go first."

"What's the matter, you finished your work today, what are you going to do tomorrow?"

"It makes sense." Hearing what Ding Xiu said, Zhao Liying also packed her things, picked up her bag and got off work.

In the public office area, a bunch of people were clattering on their keyboards, some were on the phone with clients, begging their grandparents to tell their grandmas.

Seeing Ding Xiu and Zhao Liying get off work, their red eyes were full of envy.

……

Received the script in April, and Ding Xiu set off for Xiangshan Film and Television City in May.

According to the needs of the crew, join the group in advance to practice the tricks.

Ding Xiu read the contract. Actors are not allowed to act, they must learn horse riding and martial arts, and join the group one month in advance... Generally speaking, it is still very strict.

In terms of remuneration, the package price was [-] yuan.

I heard from Zhao Jian that about [-] episodes will be filmed, but there must be no [-] episodes in the actual editing, it should be around [-] episodes, and an average of [-] yuan per episode.

Neither Ding Xiu nor Qin Gang objected.

Legend of Sword and Fairy paid close to [-] million yuan in order to get the male number one. This time, there is no need to pay money to enter, and you can get more than [-] yuan in remuneration. Let's have fun.

But having said that, even if Ding Xiu wanted to contribute money to invest, Zhang Dazi would not agree.

There are no dramas of his that don’t make money, and The Legend of Condor Heroes is such a big IP that he can make money even with his eyes closed.

This is why he can control the number one male and female number one candidate.

Investors want to arrange people, let alone unimportant roles, and turn a blind eye, but they can't touch the protagonist.

If you don't listen to me, I will immediately change investors. Some people want to make money with me.

So Nie Yuan was obviously wrong in taking the investor's route, which is not as smart as Huang Xiaoming and Ding Xiu.

……

Xiangshan Film and Television City is jointly built by the Shendiao production team and the local tourism department. As half of the owner, the Shendiao production team is the first production team to enter the film and television city.

Because some places have not been completed and are not open to the public for the time being, the huge film and television city looks extremely empty.

What Ding Xiu didn't expect was that Zhao Jian arranged to teach Liu Yifei how to ride a horse on the first day after joining the group.

In the afternoon, at the training ground, Liu Yifei changed into a loose tracksuit and stood beside the horse.

Seeing Ding Xiu walking over with a basket filled with fruits, she was a little embarrassed.

"Cousin, just come, what fruit to bring."

With a snap, Ding Xiu slapped her outstretched paw: "Zhao Jian said, this horse belongs to you for the time being, and you can use it for filming. I will teach you a lesson today. It is a beginner's horse riding. How to build a good relationship with a horse?" first step."

Liu Yifei covered his hands and said pitifully, "So this is for horses?"

"It's not too stupid." Ding Xiu stuffed the basket into her arms: "In addition to grass, the horse also eats apricots, blackberries, blueberries, cherries, figs, radishes, pineapples, all of which are ready for you, feed them slowly Bar."

"Ah." Just throwing a carrot to the horse, Liu Yifei screamed loudly: "It licks my hand."

Ding Xiu: "..."

"Don't make a fuss, it means that it doesn't hate you, take your time, I will show you... I will feed the horse every day in the future, and the relationship between you will gradually improve, and you can even give it a name, It's convenient to call it."

Liu Yifei gently stroked the horse's neck, and said with a smile, "It's big and black, why not call it Xiaobai."

"Whatever you want." Ding Xiu ignored her nonsense, and asked casually, "Your mother isn't here yet?"

"Cousin, ask my mother when you meet, how afraid are you of her?"

"Isn't it because you have a good relationship and miss her very much?"

"Pfft! Hahaha, then you will be disappointed, she won't come this time."

Ding Xiu sighed, he was really disappointed, there was one less person to argue with, how would he live the next few months.

"Okay, let's get on the horse. I'll teach you how to ride a horse. Step on the stirrup and hold the rein tightly. I'll lead the horse and take you for a walk for a couple of laps. Riding a horse is not difficult, the main thing is to overcome the fear in your heart."

"Don't clamp your legs too tightly. If you are too nervous, the horse will feel your uneasiness and easily become unstable. Take it easy."

"Lean forward, put your body weight in front, take a deep breath, it's good, it's good."

It's not the first time for Ding Xiu to teach people how to ride horses. A few years ago, he also taught Xu Qing and the others in the production team of Xiaoao Jianghu. He is very experienced.

After a few laps of walking, Liu Yifei had shaken off the fear of riding a horse for the first time, and he relaxed a lot.

A few days later, after mastering the basic movements, Ding Xiu asked her to trot around on her own.

Without Ding Xiu as the horse-leader, Liu Yifei was terrified sitting alone on the horse, and pleaded, "Cousin, why don't you take me a few laps on the horse?"

"Please, please, treat you to dinner tonight, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Ding Xiu said helplessly: "You come down first, I removed the saddle, this one can't seat two people, it's stuck in the crotch."

When thinking of leading people on horseback, the painful experience in the production team of Swordsman came to mind.

After removing the saddle, Ding Xiu put a piece of cloth on it, put Liu Yifei on the horse first, turned over and sat on the back, with his hands passing through her waist, holding the reins.

"drive!"

With a slight flick of the reins, Xiao Bai started to run.

Riding on a horse, Liu Yifei felt that he was much taller, and he was very satisfied when looking at people through his nostrils.

While the horse was running, the wind blew across his cheeks, and he seemed to have grown a pair of wings. It was completely different from the usual slow walk.

"I, bah, can't you tie up your hair, bah, can you? It's all gone when the wind blows, bah, it's on my face."

The girl's hair was long and thick, covering Ding Xiu's face when the wind blew, making it impossible to see the road ahead.

Fortunately, the horse does not jump into the pit, and knows to run along the road. If it were a motorcycle, it would have turned over the ditch.

"Hee hee, get over it yourself, drive! Xiaobai, speed up!" Liu Yifei was very excited, the fear just now was all faking.

In order to get a better view, Ding Xiu grabbed the rein with one hand, and brushed her hair aside with the other hand, but within two seconds, he blew on her face again.

There was no way, Ding Xiu could only grab the rein with one hand and hair with the other, not daring to let go.

"Cousin, don't stop, come on again, it's so fun."

"Two more laps."

"The last three laps."

"Hey, cousin, do you have a mobile phone in your trouser pocket? It hurts me."

Ding Xiu had a dark face and said nothing.

The two are so close, and riding a horse is not like driving a car that can move forward at a constant speed at any time, so sometimes it is normal to be slower and sometimes faster.

It's normal for this person to have some friction.

In addition, Liu Yifei was restless and always squeezed towards him. After so many laps, Ding Xiu's phone turned on without knowing it.

I can't stop now, the training ground is not limited to their group of actors training, so many people are watching.

Just wait for the battery to run out. .
