This actor wants to pay more

Chapter 381 The Lotus Lantern is released, Ghost Blows the Lantern to choose the heroine
"Two million."

Without thinking too much, Ding Xiu gave his answer.

1000 million, this is his psychological price, assuming the movie hits the market, he can't lose much, maybe three to four million at most, which is still within the acceptable range.

Of course, if the investment is small, the profit is destined not to be too exaggerated. The situation like Langya is rare.

"OK, then the two of us will jointly account for 3000 million, and the rest will be taken out."

"You're the male lead, let Boge suffer a bit this time, and I'll give you one, and next time you have a chance, you'll give him one too. Let's see how it goes."

After speaking, Qin Gang looked at Ding Xiu intently.

The key point of this sentence is the second half of the sentence, which gave Ding Xiu a chance to give Huang Bo a chance.

Although Huang Bo has just won Best Actor, but his qualifications are not too deep, and there are not many works, so he will not bury him as a supporting role for Ding Xiu, a popular first-line male star.

Taking a step back, Ding Xiu is the boss, so it's okay to let an employee like Lao Huang take over.

Not to mention we are all friends.

He wasn't worried about Huang Bo, but mainly worried about Ding Xiu. He was afraid that Ding Xiu wouldn't agree to be Huang Bo's partner in the future.

"Okay, no problem, I just want to cooperate with Lao Huang." Ding Xiu readily agreed: "I haven't filmed much with him for so many years."

Before Huang Bo won the title of best actor, some netizens said that he was in his early years, and Ding Xiu had been a friend for so many years and did not say to help him.

In fact, it's not that Ding Xiu doesn't want to help, but Huang Bo is short of money?
No, what he lacks is a good script and a good leading man.

Ding Xiu is not easy to do these two things, good scripts are hard to come by, and Ding Xiu himself is rare to come across, let alone a good male lead.

Can only rely on waiting, relying on luck.

Now that we have the opportunity to cooperate with everyone, he is willing to partner with Huang Bo.

"If there is a chance, call Bao Qiang, and we will work together to make a play."

Qin Gang smiled and said, "No problem, count me in, and I'll make a guest appearance for you."

Ding Xiu despised: "Are you okay?"

Qin Gang's face straightened: "I can't play anything else, I can always play an old whore."

Ding Xiu nodded: "That's fine, let's perform in his true colors."

"Hahaha."

After finishing speaking, the two laughed.

In fact, they all know that it is still a bit difficult to gather Baoqiang.

The three of them filmed a movie together, but there was only one protagonist. Ding Xiu and Huang Bo from Qin Dynasty Entertainment were fine and they could discuss it.

As an artist of Huayi, Bao Qiang can't help himself in many things. It's not up to him to decide. If he comes to play a supporting role, his company probably won't agree.

"You drink first, I'm going to have a meeting about the ghost blowing the lamp, do you want to go?"

"Forget it, you go, I'm not interested."

After chatting for a while, after the secretary gently knocked on the door, Qin Gang got up for the meeting, and asked Ding Xiu before leaving.

Ding Xiu refused and did not follow.

Small things will be said, big things will be said, since the two of them have closed the door to talk about it, he doesn't bother to participate in other things, it's just a waste of time.

In fact, Ding Xiu seldom had dinner and meetings with the people in front of the screen.

Usually, I chat directly with the boss and producer who can decide on the role.

After Qin Gang left, he poured himself a glass of red wine, drank a few sips, and lay down for a while, feeling bored before leaving the company.

……

The prequel of the Lotus Lantern was aired a little faster than Ding Xiu had imagined, and it was aired before December. Many TV stations broadcasted it at the same time, and the ratings were very popular.

After all, with the Lotus Lantern in front, word of mouth is there, and the director's banner is still the original team.

The show became popular when it was first launched, and after the filming, the producer rushed to release it, and the TV station also jumped in line to broadcast it.

No, it became popular right after it came out, causing countless topics.

In the first episode, Yang Jian's mother, played by Liu Tao, had her heart pierced and was seriously injured because she chased and killed the three-headed Jiao, and was met by a scholar.

The audience, who didn't know the truth, also looked confused when they saw Liu Tao appearing.

"Didn't Sister Tao quit the arena last year? Why did she reappear? Could it be that this drama was filmed two years ago and is only broadcast now?"

"Hahaha, Liu Tao has slapped her in the face. How long has it been since she agreed to quit the entertainment industry?"

"But let's not say, the older Liu Tao is, the more attractive he is. I know why Boss Cao likes the child's mother."

"Wait for Sister Tao to play Teacher Bai."

"My youth is back, I support Sister Tao."

"I look forward to Ding Xiu and Liu Tao being in the same frame, and I'm curious how they will act as mother and son, after all, there is not much difference in age."

"Here we come, the youngest mother and son in history."

"Don't act like a little mother, or the painting style will change."

The first episode was Liu Tao's home game, and Ding Xiu didn't show up. The topic revolved around Liu Tao, so that the audience didn't pay much attention to the plot, special effects, and martial arts.

There is one thing to say, the martial arts in the prequel of the Lotus Lantern are pretty good, and they are still the original cast.

The money spent on special effects is much more than that of the previous one, and the production has made obvious progress. When the three dragons turned into dragons, all kinds of movements are lifelike, and it seems that they have spent a lot of money.

Although Liu Tao was a bit out of date, in order to make a better comeback, she put in a lot of effort in the martial arts scene this time. She did many moves by herself and took many shots.

In short, the production of the first two episodes is above the horizontal line.

In the second episode, Yang Jian appeared.

It's just young Yang Jian and Yang Chan.

Played by children.

In fact, the director also thought about letting Ding Xiu play the young Yang Jian before, but Ding Xiu refused.

He is almost 30 years old and going to play a kid in his teens. Is the director serious? The audience is not ashamed, but Ding Xiu himself is ashamed.

In the end, it was he who overcame all opinions and asked the director to find a junior high school student to play the young Yang Jian.

In fact, it was not unreasonable for the director to let him act, mainly because he was afraid that Liu Tao would not be able to support the ratings of the first two episodes.

Ding Xiu is the biggest star in this drama, it can't do without him, the sooner it comes out, the better.

But there is a transition for this role, let the junior high school student play the young Yang Jian, and wait for the third episode when he grows up.

As the male number one, the third episode only appeared, which is a bit late.

No, I didn't see Ding Xiu in the two episodes, and some viewers have already started complaining on the Internet.

"Well, this is a gimmick. It's been two episodes since Ding Xiu hasn't appeared yet, so he's here for him. What a fart to watch."

"Nimma, I thought Liu Tao was the leading actress, but I was arrested in the second episode. The relationship is just playing tricks."

"Don't tell me, Sister Tao has a pretty good figure. This ancient costume suits her very well. It would be nice if her skin was a little fairer."

"The whole family was killed at the beginning, very Yang Jian, much worse than Chen Xiang."

"The feeling is that Bajie helped Yang Jian."

"Don't complain, everyone. Let Ding Xiu play the role of a child at a fast pace. That's annoying. The trailer for the next episode shows that he will grow up in the next episode. Wait, everyone, and you can watch Ding Xiu tomorrow."

There is an advantage in the current TV series. You can watch the preview of the next episode, and you can know what the plot will be tomorrow from the first day.

Seeing that Yang Jian is going to grow up, the audience is relieved, I am afraid that he will be a child for several episodes.

It's not that Ding Xiu has never filmed this kind of scene. He used to be a Chinese Ghost Story. How late was the Seven Nights Demon Lord?
The next day, the audience got their wish and saw the grown-up Yang Jian. Ding Xiu's ancient costumes are nothing to say, it's not blown out by professionals in ancient costumes, ancient costumes are really good-looking and handsome.

People don't act like they do, and he doesn't act like him.

His long hair was casually tied with wooden branches and scattered behind his head. His sword-like brows and star-eyed eyes had handsome features. Even if he was wearing a rough coat, he couldn't conceal his aura of nobility.

"Wow, I finally saw Ding Xiu's ancient costume again, so handsome."

"Nimma, it's a pity that this guy doesn't play ancient costumes, what kind of special forces are he going to play."

"It still looks pleasing to the eye in ancient costumes."

"The competition in the ancient costume market is fierce these days. There are many handsome guys, such as Hu Ge, Yan Kuan, Ren Quan, Shen Xiaohai, Zhang Zhiyao...but I still like Ding Xiu the most."

"Here we come, Yang Jian."

It was not only Yang Jian who grew up, but also Yang Chan. Seeing the dusty Yang Chan, the audience smiled slightly.

The director may not understand the script, but he understands the audience.

The actors are all handsome and beautiful.

This kind of handsomeness and beauty is not plastic surgery, it looks natural and comfortable, and the actors also have acting skills.

With the blessing of the first episode, plus the appearance of two well-known artists, Ding Xiu and Liu Tao, the ratings skyrocketed on the second day of the broadcast.

It quickly swept away the TV dramas of the same period and occupied the first place in the ratings.

The cute Nezha, the funny real Taiyi, the decisive Yang Jian, the beautiful Yang Chan, each character has flesh and blood.

The other cast members of the crew opened Weibo one after another and interacted with netizens every day. With the broadcast of the TV series, everyone's popularity increased to varying degrees.

In fact, Ding Xiu is the one who has improved the fastest, because he is the number one male, and he has benefited the most. The most obvious thing is that there are a lot of fairy tales coming to him, all of them are the number one male.

Randomly looking through, they are all mythological types, some are descendants, some are Sun Wukong, some are Emperor Xuanyuan, and there are Yugong Yishan and Calabash Baby. Ding Xiu was so angry that he directly threw the script into the trash can, and told Yang Siwei that all TV dramas will be uniform in the short term. do not answer.

After a period of broadcast, while the ratings of the prequel of the Lotus Lantern soared, curses also followed.

"Fuck, such a barren thing, isn't this plot a replica of Chen Xiang?"

"Change Chen Xiang's name to Yang Jian, right?"

"With all due respect, this is a bad drama, a TV drama that uses the prequel of the Lotus Lantern to make money."

"It's a bit of an exaggeration to say it's a bad drama. The production level is still there, but it's not as amazing as the previous one. Maybe the audience is tired of it."

"It's more appropriate to call this play the Lotus Lantern Filling the Pit. The plot is mediocre. I think it's mainly about filling the pit and explaining the story of Yang Jian in the previous one."

"It's not that there are so many big stars starring in it. If it's another wave of people, maybe no one will watch it."

"To be honest, average."

"Nimma, who did I see, there is really agarwood, hahaha, it's a pity that it's a small role, and there is no role in it."

"I think it's pretty nice, if you don't like it, go away."

No matter what some netizens say, it is true that the show has made money. The TV station has made money in ratings, the producer has made money, and the actors have made money. It is a successful business.

But in the later stage, the ratings gradually leveled off, and it is true that the evaluation is not as good as the previous Lotus Lantern.

In fact, it's not just the audience who thinks this way. As the male lead, Ding Xiu also feels that the prequel is not as exciting as the first one, and that Yang Jian has given too much drama.

If [-] episodes can be deleted, it will definitely be a masterpiece. It is best to portray Yang Jian as miserable.

But in order for the producer to make money, and for the TV station to broadcast for a longer period of time, it is impossible to cut [-] episodes.

In the eyes of audiences, TV dramas are pastime, and in the eyes of some actors, TV dramas are work and artistic pursuits, but in the eyes of investors and TV stations, TV dramas are business, and they only care about profits.

In order to market the prequel of the Lotus Lantern, Ding Xiu was frequently searched on the Internet.

Once, it was about accepting a daughter-in-law, and I don't know who reported it.

Fortunately, the group is not very old, otherwise he would be scolded to death.

But I still get ridiculed by my friends.

For example, Fan Binbin specially called him to chat, teasingly asked him if he wanted to have a daughter.

Said to think about her.

For a moment, Ding Xiu couldn't figure out whether she was talking about a noun or a verb.

When she saw the trending search, Yang Mi was also very envious, and she wouldn't mind if it was possible.

There are many female artists who think similarly to her, and I am very envious of this little girl named Song Zuer.

Closer to home, when the prequel of Lotus Lantern was still on the air, Ding Xiu was not in a hurry to act commercially, but interviewed female roles with the director of Ghost Blowing Lantern in the hotel.

He didn't want to come, the director said that there were so many big names coming for interviews, he couldn't hold back, he had to invite Ding Xiu over.

It is still a familiar hotel. Ding Xiu used to run scenes here when he was a group performer, and he was a little emotional when he came back here.

In the room, behind a row of desks, the main seat is the director. He sits a little to the side, with a thermos in front of him, a peaked cap on his head, and ordinary clothes.

But no one dared to underestimate this ordinary man. Basically, those who came in for an audition would be taken aback, and some were even very excited.

"number 27."

The assistant went out to call the number, but Ding Xiu was a little surprised by the person who came in.

"Hello director, hello teachers, I am Yang Mi on the 27th, and this is my resume."

After entering, Yang Mi was a little surprised to see Ding Xiu sitting on it, and Ding Xiu was also a little surprised to see her, because the female number one made it clear that she would not be used.

This was decided between him and Lao Qin, and Yang Siwei should have informed her as well.

"You came alone?"

Before the director could speak, Ding Xiu spoke first.

It was said that Yang Mi should not be used as the female one, but someone came over. What does Yang Siwei mean?
Hearing this, Yang Mi felt apprehensive, a little afraid of Ding Xiu's anger, and said bravely, "Yes, I came alone. This time, my audition role is the second female lead, Ding Sitian."

"Female number two?"

Ding Xiu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Yang Mi wanted the female number two.

There are also many roles in this role, which is very important. Considering the large investment and for the sake of prudence, he and Qin Gang discussed whether to go through the back door, or to find a suitable one from the market.

"Okay, let's go for a while."

Ding Xiu leaned back, put his hands on his chest, and watched Yang Mi's performance quietly.

The director didn't say anything, he had to follow Ding Xiu's face, and Ding Xiu wanted whoever he wanted.

During Yang Mi's performance, Ding Xiu shook his head secretly. Since winning the Four Little Stars, Yang Mi's reputation has grown more and more, but her acting skills are not as good as when she played Dream of the Red Chamber and Legend of Sword and Fairy III. .

"Go back and wait for the news."

After Yang Mi's performance, Ding Xiu replied with a neutral word.

The staff continued to call the number.

After a busy day, Ding Xiu returned to the courtyard, the living room lights were on, and Gao Yuanyuan came back.

"Why did you come back?"

"I heard that your company ghost blows the lantern to audition, let me see if there is any suitable role?"

While busy with hot dishes, Gao Yuanyuan said without turning her head.

The corner of Ding Xiu's mouth twitched: "This time the company won't let you go through the back door."

It wasn't until I got closer that Gao Yuanyuan was wearing tight-fitting high-waisted jeans today, which set off her figure very well, especially when viewed from the back, they looked very warped.

Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes: "That's the company, not you."

Ding Xiu shook his head: "I can't go through the back door either."

Gao Yuanyuan wiped her butt with her wet hands casually, and Gao Yuanyuan blinked: "Are you sure you can't treat me?"
