This actor wants to pay more

Chapter 396
"Go back and wait for the news, I will give you an answer within this week at the latest."

After saying this, Ding Xiu didn't say anything.

Young actors are generally more hard-working, very desperate for an opportunity, because they ran to read the original work to audition, this situation is very common.

Knowing that no matter what he asked next, the other party would be able to answer, so Ding Xiu didn't ask any more questions.

Hearing Ding Xiu's words, Zhou Yiwei was a little disappointed, and went back to wait for the news. He had heard this kind of words countless times, but there was no follow-up.

But after hearing the reply this week at the latest, a smile appeared on his face, and he bowed to Ding Xiu.

"Thank you Brother Xiu, thank you teachers."

As a person who has been on the crew all the year round, failing an audition is not scary at all, nor is it frustrating. The most f*cking annoying thing is to go back and wait for news, and then don’t say anything if you don’t pass.

Everyone's time is precious, so why waste it.

Knowing that there are many people in the production team to audition, and one needs to be selected from many people, it is normal and understandable that the decision cannot be made immediately.

But if you think I can't do it, you can say it on the spot, I have no objection, just go to the new crew to audition later.

Don't clearly look down on me, but don't say it right away, but let me go back and wait for news. As soon as I leave, your resume will be thrown into the trash can by you.

I couldn't fall asleep repeatedly at home, and I was foolishly waiting for the call from our crew, for fear of missing it, and didn't dare to take the job easily in the middle.

So when Ding Xiu said that he would give him an answer within a week at the latest, Zhou Yiwei was not to mention how happy he was, just based on Ding Xiu's words, no matter whether he could play this role or not, he had a good impression of Ding Xiu.

Zhou Yiwei left.

The assistant director Lu Yang said: "Brother Xiu, the role of Ding Xiu has high requirements for martial arts, why didn't you ask this time?"

Ding Xiu shrugged: "He's such a smart person, he didn't mention it on his resume, which means he doesn't know how to do it, so it's useless to ask."

Zhou Yiwei's resume looks like an old world at first glance. The text is concise and unique. In the shortest number of words, he lists his specialties and advantages.

But only did not write about martial arts, or dance.

It means he won't at all.

Otherwise, knowing that it was a trial martial arts movie, how could it be possible not to fill in such important information.

"Then this kid is mysterious." Lu Yang muttered.

Ding Xiu's requirements are high. Nie Yuan and Liu Sisi have to rely on marksmanship and dance tests when they come here.

Zhou Yiwei did not have many roles in this role, but it has a lot of weight. Ding Xiu in the play has a martial arts ceiling. Facing this kind of role, without a ten-year or eight-year martial arts background, who would dare to come to audition.

Shaking his head, Ding Xiu didn't answer.

His standard of judging people is not necessarily martial arts, but mainly the fit of roles.

There are many actors who can kung fu, but not many can get close to the characters in temperament.

If Lu Yang looked at the paper in front of Ding Xiu, he would see that he gave Zhou Yiwei a score of 75.

This score is not low.

If Zhou Yiwei is good at martial arts, he will definitely score 85 points, and if he looks better, [-] points will be appropriate.

The role was not decided on the spot, Ding Xiu mainly wanted to see if there was a more suitable person in the future.

If so, I can only say sorry to Zhou Yiwei.

……

Beiping, a suburb.

It is said to be a suburb here, but it is actually close to the mountains, and it is one of the few rural areas in a big city.

It usually costs more than 100 yuan to take a taxi to the airport.

"Old Zhou, how is it?"

At the door of the low tile-roofed house, a man with disheveled hair was sitting on a small bench, holding a book in his hand.

It was Xiuchun Dao written by Ding Xiu.

Seeing Zhou Yiwei come back, he closed the book and asked a question with concern.

There is a small field at the door, with some crops planted in it, and triangular melon sheds built with a few thumb-thick sticks and one or two meters long every not far away.

Picking a green cucumber, Zhou Yiwei wiped it on his clothes, put it into his mouth, and said: "I didn't refuse, and I didn't succeed. Let me come back and wait for news."

This is cold.

The man who read the novel said, "I'm going to another group tonight, do you want to join me?"

"Forget it, old Zhang, you just recite it, so I won't go with you." Zhou Yiwei wiped his mouth after eating the sweet cucumber in a few big bites.

This is his grievance friend Zhang Songwen, who is also his college classmate, and the two of them are bunk brothers.

It is also a difficult brother.

The mixed one is worse than the other.

Because of his appearance, he was once ridiculed by a director as a sausage mouth.

Lao Zhang is not tall, so he is called dwarfism.

He also said that the two of them would never be actors for the rest of their lives.

It has been several years since he graduated, and Zhang Songwen has run more crews than him, basically running every day. The highest record is that he ran more than 300 crews a year, and no crew wanted him.

Let's just say it's unlucky or not.

Fortunately, this buddy was a tour guide before and had some savings, otherwise he would not be able to survive in Beiping.

But without a job for a year, it is not far from being unable to survive.

The two walked from the vicinity of the third ring to the fourth and fifth rings, step by step back into the mountains.

"Damn, you are still laughing at me when you are on the street." Zhang Songwen said with a black face: "Then just wait, wait carefully, don't go out to accept the show during this period, and don't go if someone is looking for you, or you will delay the big crew The play is regrettable for life."

"My suggestion is to start at least two months. If you don't receive a notification after two months, you can call and ask again. Maybe they forgot."

Zhou Yiwei rolled his eyes and gave Zhang Songwen a middle finger. He is not a fool, how could he wait so long, let alone the day lily, the ashes will be so cold.

"People said that the answer will be given within a week at the latest."

"Fuck, there is such a conscientious crew." Zhang Songwen stared at the actor: "Who said that, the director?"

"Ding Xiu, he said it himself."

"Such a big man still talks to you?"

"He is one of the audition personnel. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to this drama. In addition, I saw Nie Yuan and Liu Sisi over there. The cast of this drama is really big. Do you think I have It could be an instant hit."

Zhang Songwen said casually: "If you go to Ding Xiu's room at night, it will definitely become a hit, and you won't be able to sit on the bench the next day."

"You don't have a good word out of your mouth. Don't you people in Guangdong Province like to call boys pretty boys and girls pretty girls? Why have I never heard you call them pretty?"

"I told you to rush to the street, do you dare to agree?"

"I say you are a fairy, do you dare to agree?"

After bickering for a while, Zhou Yiwei went into the room to rummage through food, leaving Zhang Songwen outside reading.

Hearing the sound of soldiers fighting in the room, Zhang Songwen closed the book and sighed: "Is my persistence really meaningful?"

He is 34 years old.

people to middle age.

Wife and children have nothing.

In the early years, he actually didn’t know about acting. After graduating from vocational high school at the age of 17, he worked as a printing worker, a beverage salesman, an air-conditioning installation worker, a hotel waiter, and a restaurant manager.

Before taking Nortel, his last job was a tour guide.

The best tour guide in Guangdong Province.

The monthly salary is more than 2.

In the process of taking the test for Nortel, a tourist girl asked him what his dream was.

He was at a loss.

In the 90s, the wages of ordinary workers were still 500 yuan a month, and he was more than 2, more than 90.00% of the nine people, and none of the peers around him was better than him.

As long as he doesn't buy a car or a house, he can't spend all his work.

But when he was asked about his dream, he was confused. He didn't know what his dream was.Drunk and dreaming?
neither.

He is tired of these days.

Later, the girl said that he had a good image and that he could go to Peking to try film school and become an actor.

He resigned when he went back that day, and packed his bags and headed to Peiping the next day.

Because of his early career in society, he was already quite old when he was admitted to the film academy, and he was the oldest in the class.

The teachers are not as old as him.

In his dormitory, he is the head of the dormitory and usually acts as the father.

But later he heard that there was a student named Huang Bo in the college class next door who was older than him, and he felt much more balanced.

"Old Zhang, on the way back I bought an Oscar-winning movie last year, do you want to watch it?"

Zhou Yiwei's voice came from the room, and Zhang Songwen got up and ran into the room without saying a word.

"Of course good things should be shared with everyone, don't start yet, wait for the father!"

At this moment, he was in high spirits again.

Zhang Songwen seems to know why he insisted on it. There is no other reason, it seems that he loves and likes this line of work.

Zhou Yiwei lay at home for three days, before the end of the week, the crew of Xiuchundao called and told him that he had been selected and signed a contract for him.

That night, he spent a lot of money to treat Zhang Songwen to a barbecue and ordered a case of beer. The two of them were as happy as children.

Soon, the middle of the year will come.

Xiuchundao has not turned on yet, but the actors are already making preparations.

Liu Sisi practiced dancing in the dance studio every day, and Nie Yuan turned down other jobs to save time to practice marksmanship.

The male number two Wang Qianyuan and the male number three Song Yang are practicing swords, one is a long sword and the other is a short sword.

Zhou Yiwei is also practicing knives. He is not only practicing knives, but also horseback riding. He has a lot of training every day, and he can't get up when he returns to his residence.

It all depends on his good friend Zhang Songwen to push him medicinal wine.

"Fuck, your training is a bit hard, your thighs are blue."

"Brother, let me come to this place, don't bother you."

"Heh, are you still shy, afraid of revealing your feelings?"

"Oh, old Zhang, no, let's not live together. Those who don't know think we are a mess. You said, two hot-blooded guys are together every day, and they don't have a girlfriend. After a long time, I will Afraid of accidents."

"Don't talk about you, I wanted to run away a long time ago. Two days ago, I found a fortune teller to make a fortune, saying that I committed Tai Sui, and there was a villain around me who passed the bad luck to me. I think it was you kid. "

"Thank you so much, hiss!"

Rubbing medicinal wine on his thigh, Zhou Yiwei cried out in pain, his facial features were distorted.

Zhang Songwen didn't say a word, he saw it in his eyes and admired it in his heart. After so many years of getting along, he knew what Zhou Yiwei was going to say without guessing.

"Ding Xiu taught me sword skills today, you didn't see it, this kid is really powerful, before people said he was the best fighter in the entertainment industry, I didn't believe it at all, but guess what, he chopped me down with two knives On the ground."

"I, Nie Yuan, Wang Qianyuan, Song Yang, the four of us together, haven't walked in his hands for a minute. Fighting weapons, do you know what fighting fighting is? I think Ding Xiu must be a A Lianjiazi who practices knives, he is too fierce..."

Every day when he came back, Zhou Yiwei would talk about what he had seen and heard on the training ground today.

Ding Xiu is the martial arts director of this film, and he is usually responsible for teaching martial arts to them. Some people use meteor hammers, some use swords, some use Miao Dao, and some use spears , But that's it, Ding Xiu can teach everyone.

As if he could do anything.

Totally an encyclopedia of martial arts.

Zhang Songwen didn't interrupt Zhou Yiwei's speech, but just listened quietly, he was used to it, and listened to Zhou Yiwei talking about Ding Xiu every day.

As time passed, he became curious about Ding Xiu, wanting to know what kind of person he was.

How could there be so many legendary stories.

……

"Director Xu, someone brought it here for you, and he will do what he says, half a month will be half a month."

Ding Xiu and Song Yang got off the crew of Xu Haofeng's Trail of the Japanese Pirates together.

In the summer, Xu Haofeng was wearing a vest and was working with a cattail fan in his hand, cursing from time to time.

On such a hot day, Chen Haonan reluctantly cut off his hair, and he didn't know if he was hot or not.

Seeing Ding Xiu approaching, Xu Haofeng rolled his eyes, not showing a good face at all: "Rare guest, you always remember that I was filming."

Ding Xiu is also the martial arts consultant of this drama and the biggest investor.

As a result, the filming was almost at the end, and it was only the first day.

It's not unprofessional.

Forget it, he called his male lead away with one phone call, saying that he would borrow it for half a month.

"That's not true." Ding Xiu turned around with a smile, and beckoned, "Bring down all the fruit drinks, and give each of the crew members a point."

I just bought a car of watermelons and drinks on the way here.

Xu Haofeng looked a little better: "Are you going to start the machine?"

"Soon, next month at most."

The preparation time for Xiuchun Dao was very early, and many things were prepared early. Now we are talking about the production and publicity.

Once these follow-up tasks are done, it can be turned on.

"We are both martial arts movies, who do you think will win the award?" Xu Haofeng had an idea and wanted to make a bet with Ding Xiu.

"Why don't you compare the box office?" Ding Xiu narrowed his eyes and said.

As far as Xu Haofeng's shooting mode is concerned, it's only a ghost that the release can make money, but some judges just like him and like to award awards to this kind of movie.

Xu Haofeng sneered: "How much you invest, how much I invest, are you embarrassed?"

The lineup of Xiuchundao, Ding Xiu, Wang Qianyuan, Liu Sisi, Nie Yuan.

The lineup of the traces of Japanese pirates, Yu Chenghui, Song Yang.

Mr. Yu Chenghui is the biggest coffee.

Xiuchun Knife invested 4000 million yuan, and The Trace of the Japanese Pirates invested 400 million yuan. The difference is ten times. How do you compare?

"Okay, let's compete to win the prize."

Ding Xiu said confidently.

Xu Haofeng said bluntly: "The bet is my next play, you still vote for me."

Ding Xiu smiled and said, "You lost, and I will be the screenwriter for the next play."

Whether Xu Haofeng's directing skills are good or not is another matter, but his screenwriting ability is top-notch, especially in the field of martial arts. It has a lot to do with him that the first generation of masters can have such a great influence and the lines explode.
