This actor wants to pay more

Chapter 191 Take the Right Path

"You are not in this industry, and you don't know the dangers of the world."

Ding Xiumin glanced at Zhao Liying and said.

How can the entertainment industry be so easy to mess around? If you don't have a background or connections, it's too difficult to get ahead.

It's so difficult for a male artist, let alone a female artist.

If you don't have a good face, you talk nonsense when you see people, and you want to stand out, you don't know the year of the monkey.

Zhao Liying blurted out by accident: "If I become an actor, I can do well without being flattering."

Ding Xiu smiled: "Let's talk about the assistant's job first, Yang Siwei should be promoted to manager soon, and the assistant's job will belong to you in the future."

"Look, it's the same company that came together, they're all brokers, and you're still a little assistant."

His previous manager had always been Qin Gang, almost a nominal one.

Because Qin Gang took care of the work of the company's boss, he was usually very busy.

He had wanted to find a reliable agent for Ding Xiu for a long time. It happened that Yang Siwei joined the job last year and has a strong professional ability. At the beginning of the year, Qin Gang said that he would train her to be an agent.

In half a year, it seems that the training is almost done.

Before joining the group, Qin Gang slowly handed over the brokerage business to Yang Siwei.

Two days ago, Qin Gang officially notified him that Yang Siwei would be his exclusive manager from now on, and he would only be responsible to him alone.

"I'm not bad at it, okay?" Zhao Liying puffed up her chest, she lacked confidence. She graduated from a technical secondary school and Yang Siwei graduated from a prestigious school. She was inferior in vision, ability, and handling skills.

Obviously there is not much age difference between them, but Yang Siwei is like a fish in water in the workplace, while she is like a rookie.

At first, she thought she was with Ding Xiu and had less contact with the workplace, but she often went in and out of the company some time ago and had more contact with colleagues, so she realized how big the gap was.

"Brother Xiu, after I become a work assistant, do life assistants have to recruit new people?"

Not far away, Yang Mi, who was chatting with Liu Yifei, heard the voice: "Hiring? Look for me. I'm in the summer vacation of my third year of high school, and I have nothing to do until the university starts. Brother Xiu, if you don't mind, you can try me." .”

"It's fine for me to serve tea and pour water, do laundry and cook. I will learn something from you by the way, and I will shine in the company in the future."

Ding Xiu said indifferently: "Don't join in the fun, you grew up on the set, you've become an old fritter, and you can speak well, I think you have more experience than me."

"Life assistant doesn't have much work, Xiao Zhao is familiar with business, let her take care of it."

Zhao Liying said firmly: "I promise to complete the task."

As he spoke, his gaze swept Yang Mi sideways, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

There are not many jobs for assistants, mainly depending on the artist you are with. Some artists have eccentricities and cannot sleep alone, they must be accompanied by someone.

Well, the assistant who the living room sofa, or the bedroom floor.

There is also a sudden whim, like to eat barbecue or something in the middle of the night, the assistant has to run to buy it immediately.

He often swears and swears, and he doesn't treat his assistant as a person a lot.

Fortunately, Ding Xiu didn't have any of these problems. It might be because he is a martial arts practitioner. He is careless and doesn't like to dig into details. As a life assistant, he just does some light work of serving tea and pouring water.

It will be easier if you are involved in filming, because Ding Xiu is busy all day long, and she only needs to deliver food and water.

In weather like today, add an umbrella.

Yang Mi said unwillingly: "Brother Xiu, remember to consider me next time you hire an assistant."

Ding Xiu waved impatiently: "When your Nie Xiaoqian is broadcast, you can say this again."

After he rejected Ning Caichen, the sugar man handed over the role to Hu Ge, that is, Tang Yu Xiaobao in Legend of Sword and Fairy, and Yang Mi's Nie Xiaoqian formed a pair of CP.

I heard that the actors in several other units are also coffee.

Painted Skin is starring Hua Zengli, a Chinese opera school, and TVB actor Jiang Hua.

Xiao Cui is starring Lin Zhiying and Li Binbin.

Lu Juan is starring Huang Xiaoming and Hu Ke.

Infatuated Spirit Sparrow is starring Yuan Hong and Yang Chenglin.

If Ding Xiu and Qin Lan don't refuse, Xiaoqian will be the two leading actors.

Gathering so many celebrities from both sides of the strait and three places, and it is a relatively popular Liaozhai drama, needless to say, it is indispensable.

Yang Mi can act as the heroine of one of the units. After the show is broadcast, there will definitely be a lot of attention. By then, it will be too late to make money from commercials and performances every day. How can it be possible to come to him as an assistant.

On the one hand, the monthly salary is one or two thousand, and on the other hand, the annual income is hundreds of thousands. Any fool knows which one to choose.

Sticking out her tongue, Yang Mi turned around and ran to Liu Yifei.

……

In June, the weather is hot, the days are long and the nights are short, and the shooting time increases, and there are several hours more per day.

In order to wait for the light, Meng Guangmei and Kong Lin went to the set to put on makeup at three o'clock at the earliest.

It wasn't easy for Ding Xiu and Wang Luoyong either. A lot of fighting scenes exhausted their physical strength, and it took a whole day to shoot. Ding Xiu helped Wang Luoyong go down the mountain several times.

Jiuzhaigou filmed for a month, and the crew continued to rush to the next location to shoot.

After traveling to four or five places, the crew returned to Xiangshan Film and Television City in late July.

"Brother Xiu, why doesn't this horse go away?"

Outside the city, it was Yang Mi's turn to shoot a horse riding scene. After getting on the horse, she couldn't walk, and went round and round.

She joined the group late and missed the previous unified training. Today she has a horse riding scene, but she only started training the day before yesterday, and she only practiced for a few hours.

She is only a supporting role, and the horse riding scene only takes a few shots. It is impossible for the director to spend a lot of time finding someone to teach horse riding just for her.

On the chair, Ding Xiu, who was wearing a black T-shirt and sunglasses, biting a straw and drinking coconut juice, didn't move his butt.

"Pull the rein, and the horse will be able to go away with your legs firmly clamped."

"How to clamp it, teach me."

Ding Xiu turned to Liu Yifei and said, "Teach her a bit."

It is a rare opportunity to be a good teacher, Liu Yifei happily stepped forward to teach Yang Mi.

I don't know if it's stupid or what, but when it was the turn to start filming, Yang Mi rode the horse in a circle, and the actor of the Golden Wheel King who was acting opposite to her could only ride the horse and follow.

Zhao Jian originally wanted to stop, but when he thought that Yang Mi was a small character, it was just a few transitional scenes, not too important, so he just let it go.

Liu Yifei, who was watching the play, said embarrassingly: "Everyone understands it differently. When you taught me, I learned it immediately. I don't know why she can't."

Ding Xiu shook his head, it is true that his comprehension ability is a bit low.

It's not as simple as pinching the legs.

After the filming was finally finished, Yang Mi sighed and went back to the side to rest, Ding Xiu said: "Tomorrow is our scene, do you want to check the words?"

"Can you wait, I'll go to the bathroom."

Picking up the script, Yang Mi ran away in a hurry, muttering the words in her mouth.

It was an hour after I came back again, and I was able to finish the words by stumbling.

Ding Xiu didn't make it difficult for her. After discussing the acting method, he went into the dressing room to put on makeup and was ready to shoot his own scene.

In the afternoon, it was a big show with thousands of people.

Yang Guo broke into the army to rescue Guo Xiang, drove a carriage on the battlefield, and fought against a large number of soldiers. Among them, there were a lot of action scenes, which were very complicated, and there was also an explosion scene, which required running to the bombing point.

I have to say that Zhang Big Beard's dramas have always been top-notch productions in terms of clothing and Taoism, and they can be regarded as top-notch in China. There are not many costume dramas that can match him.

This is why Jin Yong sold the copyright to him again and again.

Look at those TVB dramas, the male protagonist in the costume drama is still wearing Nike shoes, and the props are a mess.

Glue a headgear, from the forehead to the temples, a circle of glue marks, I can't bear to look directly at it.

In the scene Ding Xiu filmed today, more than [-] people were involved in the group performances alone, and seven or eight machines were set up at [-] degrees without dead ends.

Not to mention that Zhang Jizhong built a film and television city specially for this drama.

TVB also has a film and television city. They call it a film and television street. Just by the name, you can tell how big the area is. If it is a street, it is a street.

All costume dramas are filmed on that street
"Big brother, help me."

"I knew you would come."

"It's you again, Yang Guo!"

"Miss Long, long time no see."

This fight scene is Ding Xiu's home field, and it was filmed all afternoon, and the filming was not finished until dark, and the rest had to be saved for tomorrow's filming.

Liu Yifei, who had back pain, sighed and followed Ding Xiu's buttocks, complaining: "This drama should be the most difficult drama I have received so far."

"I really envy you. You can have references from previous film and television dramas. I want to find someone to refer to, but I don't know who to look for."

There have been seven versions of Condor Heroes before, and the more classic ones are the versions of Louis Koo and Li Ruotong ten years ago.

Li Ruotong was almost thirty years old when she played Little Dragon Girl. This version of Little Dragon Girl is eighteen years old. It is a completely different approach. She has no way to refer to her predecessors' acting methods, so she can only figure it out on her own.

"You've done a good job." Ding Xiu comforted, "In my opinion, your performance is no worse than Li Ruotong's."

"That's right." Liu Yifei's eyes suddenly narrowed into a smile.

"Of course, haven't you seen the director praise you every day?"

"I thought they were being polite."

"Be confident."

"Yeah, I think you acted very well in the past, not worse than Gu Zai."

"Really, tell me, where is it good?"

"You are more handsome than him, your martial arts are better than him, and you are taller than him..."

"If you don't go home after filming, why are you wandering around?" Before she finished speaking, Liu Xiaoli appeared behind her, and said, "I've called you before, it's not big or small."

"Mom, I'm too deep into the drama, I haven't come out yet."

"Have you come out now?"

"Out."

"What should it be called?"

Liu Yifei blinked at Ding Xiu: "Uncle Ding."

Ding Xiu smiled and nodded: "Niece."

Letting go of Liu Yifei's ears, Liu Xiaoli said: "I already recognize Ding Xiu as my godbrother, you should respect him more from now on."

Liu Yifei was dumbfounded: "When did it happen, why don't I know?"

Ding Xiu shrugged: "Two days ago, Sister Liu specially invited me to dinner, saying that she recognized me as her younger brother in order to repay her life-saving grace."

He was quite happy to have more than one sister at once.

Liu Yifei was about to cry. He used to think that the name uncle was a joke, but he didn't expect to become an uncle.

Uncle dry?
This name is a bit weird.

……

The next day was another scorching sun.

The sun was scorching hot, and the air was distorted by the light. In one morning, seven or eight extras suffered from heat stroke, and even many extras quit.

Thirty yuan a day, what fate.

Helpless, Zhao Jian added another [-] yuan to keep him.

Those who can come to be a group performer, most of them are bastards, expect them to be dedicated, don't even think about it, but if the money is low, they will leave in minutes.

Fifty yuan a day is already a sky-high price among extras in this era.

Ding Xiu finished filming a scene, ran back to the RV to escape the heat, skillfully took out an ice cream from the refrigerator and licked it.

Knowing that he wanted to check the phone, Zhao Liying handed it over: "Brother Xiu, Sister Yang said that the film Xiao Yu Er and Hua Wu Que you filmed last year will be released, and there will be promotions from next Wednesday to Friday, so you need to take four days off."

"Is there any more?" Clicking on QQ, Ding Xiu immediately saw Fan Binbin's message, which was also Xiao Yuer and Hua Wuque's promotion.

"Ding Xiu, you still owe me a meal, remember? Remember to pay it back when we meet next week."

"The first stop of our publicity is Sichuan Province. I heard that the saliva chicken there is good."

"This time Zhang Weijian will not participate in the promotion. I heard that other TV stations don't want him. Our show depends on you. Hold on."

"What's your next play? I've been idle recently, don't forget me if something good happens..."

Zhang Weijian's failure to participate in the promotion was expected by Ding Xiu. Last year's incident was so big that he would definitely not be able to survive in the Mainland.

In order not to offend the audience, how dare the TV station promote him.

It can only be a few years, and when the rumors pass, see if it can come out again.

As for Fan Binbin's claim that she has nothing to do with filming, Ding Xiu naturally didn't believe it.

Ever since he won the Best Actress trophy, Fan Binbin's resources have not been lacking, and the schedule may not be scheduled for two or three years, so it is a joke to say that he is idle.

Ding Xiu usually browses the entertainment news, and often sees her appearing in front of the cameras of various media, either at the premiere of a certain movie or the launch conference of a certain TV series.

Filming of four or five films a year takes off, and I have to be busy day and night, so how can I be free.

"Yes." Zhao Liying continued: "I heard from Sister Yang that there are two commercial endorsements, one variety show, and three media interviews. We will talk about these after you finish filming."

Ding Xiu was surprised and put down his phone: "So few?"

In the past, there was only one crew, at least one or two months of busy work, all kinds of commercial performances, endorsements, and media interviews.

"Sister Yang said that your coffee position is bigger than before. We would rather have less money than take over the job."

Suddenly losing millions of income, Ding Xiu frowned, and immediately called Yang Siwei: "Please explain to me, what is time, there is no high or low job, only more money and less money, how can you do this..."

"Two days ago, an artist endorsed a fake product and was fined hundreds of thousands of dollars. He also gave a platform to open a restaurant at will. Afterwards, someone in the restaurant got food poisoning. Those who endorsed three-no products and health medicines were blocked by banners. .”

"Our company doesn't have the ability to investigate the cleanliness behind every commercial performance. For the sake of safety, we won't accept this kind of work in the future. We only accept big brands for product endorsements, which have a reputation guarantee."

Ding Xiu half-closed his eyes: "Xiao Yang, are you usually so blunt when you talk?"

Over there, Yang Siwei's tone softened, and he said with a smile: "Brother Xiu, these are all decided by the company's meeting and research. President Qin made the decision. You know, I have always been your person. As long as you give an order , I'll..."

Thinking of her weight, Ding Xiu shuddered: "Shut up, I understand."

With this knife cut down, millions of income will be lost a year. It would be a lie to say that I don't feel bad.

But what Yang Siwei said was not unreasonable.

The previous path was indeed a bit wild. If we want to develop for a long time, we still have to follow the right path.
