This actor wants to pay more

Chapter 393 Ding Xiu's idea is very positive
Near the middle of the year, Ding Xiu walked out of the special effects studio.

The final special effects are almost done, and he doesn't need to supervise the rest of the piecemeal work.

Not to mention, after staying for a month or two, he learned a lot, at least he understood the whole process behind the scenes.

Not to mention being proficient, I won’t be deceived in the future, and I know what to do.

During this period of time, the outside world has not changed much. Xu Haofeng's Japanese pirate track has been turned on, and the male lead Song Yang has passed the audition and started to practice kung fu.

It's just that the investment in this film is 400 million, and his salary is not high, a total of 20.

He is still happy about this, and he doesn't think the money is short at all.

What young people want is a chance. After becoming popular, how much salary he wants is still a bit of a pattern.

"Squeak!"

After a few months, I returned to the courtyard house in Peking again, and the courtyard was already covered with leaves.

Before, there were many paparazzi and many fans, so he had no choice but to move to another place, and this place fell into disrepair.

After squatting for a while, he couldn't be found, and the fans and paparazzi also dispersed.

After changing his clothes, Ding Xiu came to Qin Chao Entertainment and went straight to Qin Gang's office. Before he got there, he met Yang Siwei who had just come out of Qin Gang's office.

"Greetings, Mr. Qin."

"Go slowly, I won't see you off if you know the way, come over for dinner another day."

"Alright Mr. Qin, I'll invite you another day."

Ding Xiu also admired Yang Siwei's ability to run this way after resigning and running away. If he were to be another boss, he might be beaten to death.

"Why are you here?"

"Brother Xiu, I'm here to discuss some business."

She was wearing a bright red long dress, with slightly curly hair hanging around her waist, a valuable necklace on her neck, and a jade bracelet on her wrist. From Ding Xiu's point of view, it was estimated to be around 50.

People depend on clothes, not to mention, Yang Siwei is a bit of a boss, with a strong aura.

Before she worked at Qin Chao Entertainment, she was so busy every day that she sometimes didn't have time to put on makeup, so she would change into flat shoes as soon as she entered the office, her clothes were mainly casual, and her hair was often tied up.

This will be the boss, the aura is completely different.

Nodding his head, Ding Xiu glanced at Qin Gang: "I'm here to talk about Xiuchun Knife."

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, come in and talk, Xiao Yang, go slowly."

After inviting Ding Xiu into the office, Qin Gang closed the door.

Afraid that he would make tea and drink the hot-mouthed Lao Banzhang, Ding Xiu hurriedly said: "I'm angry, so I don't drink tea."

"I don't like drinking tea anymore, wait a minute."

Qin Gang pushed open a door in the office. This is where he rested. He came out after a while with a plate of peanuts and a bottle of Moutai in his hand.

Open the drawer, throw two pairs of disposable chopsticks on the coffee table.

"Let's make do with it, that's all for today."

"Fuck, Lao Qin, are you rebooting? I haven't seen your secretary for a long time." Without tearing up the chopsticks, Ding Xiu first grabbed a few fried peanuts and threw them into his mouth before pouring the wine.

I used to come here every once in a while, and I could see different secretaries.

There are sisters, young women, and college students.

Even Europe, America, Japan and South Korea can see it.

But Ding Xiu found that Qin Gang hadn't used a secretary for a long time, and his current assistant was also a man.

Subconsciously clutching his waist, Qin Gang sighed: "Damn, I used to be young and ignorant. Humans still have to grow up. It's fine to try some things. We can't be obsessed with them. We want to be the masters of our desires. We don't even have the willpower. You are a slave to desire, how can you do great things..."

"I know there is a folk prescription for tonifying the kidneys. The effect is very good. It can be effective in a week, and it can be drunk in a month to ensure that the dragon will be strong and the tiger will be fierce, and it will emit a second spring."

Qin Gang smiled slightly: "It happens that I have a friend who needs it. You can give it to me. I'll give it to him later."

Ding Xiu was too lazy to expose him.

There are many things in the world that you can’t ask for. When you were young, you had a good waist, but you could only be wronged. Later, when you are older and have money, you don’t need to be wronged, but your waist is not good.

Qin Gang didn't practice martial arts, and he often had dinner parties and sat in the office. With his body, it's not bad that he can survive these few years.

But it can't stand such a waste.

The media once interviewed boxing champion Tyson and asked him what his secret to winning was. He said that he never had a girlfriend before becoming a boxing champion.

Look, even the boxing champion can't stand it. Ever since he got a girlfriend, the boxing champion is useless, let alone Qin Gang.

Ding Xiu drank the wine and said, "I'll give you the prescription later."

After drinking for three rounds, half a plate of peanuts went.

The two finally got down to business, and Ding Xiu said, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp is done, shouldn't the Xiuchun Knife be arranged?"

Qin Gang was surprised: "Aren't you not acting?"

The role that Ding Xiu will play is Ding Xiu, but Ding Xiu has very few roles in the first film, just a supporting role, male number five or six.

If it wasn't for the company's drama, Qin Gang would not recommend Ding Xiu to act.

"Act, of course." Ding Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "I want to be the director this time."

The behind-the-scenes work during this period was not in vain, and the big reason was that he wanted to make movies by himself.

As a director, you can't understand everything, it's just so boring to be a puppet with a mallet.

In addition, he didn't want his hard work to be in vain. This Xiuchun knife was typed out word by word by himself, and he entrusted him with deep feelings. He was worried about handing it over to other directors.

"puff!"

Qin Gang spit out all the wine in one gulp, widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "Are you a director?"

Resisting the desire to twitch his mouth, Ding Xiu wiped his face with his sleeve, and said expressionlessly, "Yes, I will be the director."

Qin Gang said seriously: "Brother Xiu, do you know what is depth of field, what is script, what is imagery, and what is art?"

"Directing is not a good job. It needs to coordinate the whole team, props, makeup, and martial arts. Although these are all done by professionals, it is up to the director to decide how to do it and to what extent."

"If you're just a novelty and want to be a director's addiction, I can give you a name, and you can do whatever you want when you get to the crew. Let's try to listen to the assistant director."

Ding Xiu poured himself another glass of wine, raised his hand, and pulled out a beautiful line of wine, overflowing with the aroma of sauce.

"It's not a name. This time, I want to handle the Xiuchun Knife myself. I don't feel relieved to hand it over to others."

Qin Gang was apprehensive, and wanted to say that he was even more worried about handing it over to Ding Xiu.

How can it be so simple to be a director, someone with no skill can't do it.

"If you're worried about losing money, I'll be the sole proprietor of this movie, just leave the production team to me."

Xiuchundao was not a temporary idea. It started writing the script a year ago, intermittently, costumes, props, setting and framing are also being followed up, and now the shooting team and post-production are all in place.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

actor.

As long as the actors are settled, they can be turned on at any time.

Ding Xiu wants to be a director, so he can do it.

Qin Gang lowered his brows: "Brother Xiu, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? You haven't begged me all these years. It's me who has always caused you trouble. You finally made a request to me. Can I Do you not agree?"

"Isn't it tens of millions, the company is solely owned, you can be the director, do whatever you want."

"Fuck, it's so expensive." Ding Xiu clicked his tongue.

He thought it was 800 million.

After all, Xu Haofeng dared to start shooting with 400 million yuan.

Qin Gang chuckled: "This movie is a big production, with a tentative investment of 4000 million yuan, 70.00% of which will be spent on production fees, and all actors' fees will be reduced, so we have high requirements for casting, which is why The reason why I wanted you to appear in it before."

It was originally planned to be 500 million.

Later, I found that I couldn’t take pictures, and there were many scenes, all of which were labor and material costs.

The cost of props is very high. There are hundreds of weapons alone, and there are thousands of sets of costumes, all of which are newly customized. The costumes of the main protagonists are handmade.

Because the company is trying to do film and television business, and also bought some shooting equipment and machines, all of which are money.

After getting it all down, I found that the actors were paid too little.

The tentative ones are an actor, a first-line veteran, and a little flower.

But the rest of the funds can't invite this lineup, and they plan to use Ding Xiu as the top number, hoping to rely on him to pull some box office.

Ding Xiu thought for a moment and said, "I'll pay 2000 million."

He is a director, one of the screenwriters, one of the authors, and one of the actors. He is worth a penny, and I am afraid that no coal boss will fall into the trap.

You can't let the company pay all the money. If you lose money, it will definitely hurt your muscles and bones.

Qin Gang said: "Actually, if you are the number one male, it is not difficult to attract investment."

These days, the word Ding Xiu is the box office. Young people love to watch the movies and TV dramas he starred in. If he is not a director, but just the number one male, there must be many bosses who will invest money and line up to invest money.

After getting the money, as one of the producers and producers, the company stuffed a large number of its own actors into the venue, used other people's money to make money, and could even praise its own artists, killing two birds with one stone.

Ding Xiu shook his head: "I don't like the role of Shen Lian, it's too dog-licking."

He didn't say that apart from licking the dog, Shen Lian was also the one who chopped up his master, stabbed his senior uncle, and stabbed his junior brother.

They are all brothers, how could Ding Xiu do it.

Ding Xiu is determined to be a director, and only plays Ding Xiu as a supporting role. Qin Gang is also very helpless: "2000 million is 2000 million, the company will pay 1000 million, and the remaining 1000 million will be the coal boss. Anyway, you are the big one."

"However, we still have to make two-handed preparations. If we can't get the funds and want the production crew to start, you'd better play the leading role. Without you, I won't come."

"Okay." Ding Xiu was still a little vain about his appeal.

He believes that the current coal bosses are all discerning.

"Then discuss with the heroine, I'm going to let Yang Mi go up." Qin Gang pushed Yang Mi up.

It's a rare opportunity for a female number one, no one will praise her own artist.

"Yang Mi can't do it. The role of Zhou Miaotong needs to be young, clean, and have the smell of books. She doesn't have these conditions."

Ding Xiu immediately refused.

Qin Gang was dumbfounded: "Brother, my family's artist is almost fine, don't be so harsh, whoever acts is not acting."

It is impossible to reproduce the characters of the script [-]%, almost enough.

The market is fierce these days. Even for Yang Mi, it is not easy to get a leading female lead in a big production. Opportunities are rare.

Ding Xiu shook his head: "No, this is my first film as a director. I must strive for perfection. The role of Zhou Miaotong is cast by a post-[-] actress. Acting skills are secondary. I want to be beautiful and stunning."

"Have you thought about anyone?"

"Not sure yet."

In Ding Xiu's mind, many actresses appeared, and the choice of who to choose depends on the effect after the fitting.

"Where's the male number one?"

"Anything to recommend?"

Qin Gang said: "In our plan, it is decided that actor Zhang Zhen will play Shen Lian, Wang Qian, an old Mesozoic drama player, will play Lu Jianxing, and Jin Yichuan will be handed over to Song Yang."

Best actor Zhang Zhen, a Wanwan actor, a ruthless guy who was nominated for the Golden Horse Best Actor at the age of 15. He debuted for many years and won the category B Best Actor.

The war film Chibi, which he starred in before, won more than 5 million box office.

So far, he is also among the best actors of the younger generation, only slightly weaker than Ding Xiu.

Wang Qianyuan is a few years older than Ding Xiu and Zhang Zhen. She is average in appearance, but has excellent acting skills and a good reputation. She is a good green leaf.

According to the company's plan, Zhang Zhen, Wang Qianyuan, and Ding Xiu, the combination of Wang Zhan, basically locks in a box office of [-] million yuan, and there is no shortage of investors.

But now something went wrong, Ding Xiu wanted to be the director, investors might not dare to vote for him.

And the most important point is that Ding Xiu is afraid of changing actors.

"Very good." Ding Xiu recalled the images of the two of them in his mind, imagining how they would look in ancient costumes, they were passable, not bad.

Qin Gang smiled wryly: "It's not a question of whether it's good or not. I'm afraid they won't come if they know you're the director."

Ding Xiu frowned: "Try as much as you can, let's talk if it doesn't work, I don't think I've memorized the idea like that."

"How about I call now and ask some coal bosses?" Qin Gang said tentatively.

Ding Xiu was confident: "Ask."

……

His idea was very good. When they heard that he was the director, their tone changed immediately. Some people said that the coal mine collapsed and they lost a lot of money, but they had no money for the time being.

Some said that they had a lot of girlfriends recently, they have already smashed a few movies, and they haven't paid back their money yet, and they hope to wait for him here for a year or so.

Some were quite loyal, saying that Ding Xiu would not vote as a director, but he would vote for Ding Xiu as an actor.

Holding the mobile phone, Qin Gang said to Ding Xiu, "How about I ask the actors?"

The corner of Ding Xiu's mouth twitched: "You ask, I'll go to the bathroom."

He was afraid that sitting here couldn't help but want to hit someone.

Businessmen pay more attention to profits, it is really not easy to deal with, you are popular, you are famous, and you are flattered and flattered, once you are likely to bring losses to others, you will immediately turn your face and deny people.

When he came outside, Ding Xiu walked towards the bathroom, passed by the office, and saw Yang Siwei chatting with his former subordinate.

After seeing him, Yang Siwei got up: "Brother Xiu."

"You haven't left yet."

"Wait for you."

"What are you waiting for?"

"It's rare to come here. I want to buy you a cup of coffee. I don't know if I have time."

"I have something to do later."

"It won't take long."

Putting his hands in his pockets, Ding Xiu knew that she was looking for him for something, so he nodded his chin: "Yes."

Yang Siwei raised the two cups of coffee in his hand: "If you don't mind, let the wind blow on the roof."

When he came to the rooftop, Ding Xiu took a cup of coffee. Ding Xiu smelled it and said, "It's the same old taste."

"That's not true, I was your assistant after all." Knowing that Ding Xiu was short on time, Yang Siwei cut to the chase: "I just heard you and President Qin talk about Xiuchun Knife."

"Ah."

"Is it still short of investment, take me with you."

　Hope you can see
