This actor wants to pay more

Chapter 414 New World, Open the International Market
For the role of Mr. Shu, Baoqiang, who doesn’t usually smoke much, now takes three packs a day, and his mouth is almost blistered.

I heard that in order to get closer to the character, he even went to his hometown to play with the villagers every day, and he is indispensable for weddings and weddings.

Baoqiang is busy with transformation, Huang Bo only accepts good scripts, and Wu Jing lays the foundation for the new film a few years in advance... It seems that everyone has different changes in middle age.

Qin Chao Entertainment, Ding Xiu's office.

On the sofa chair, Qin Gang solemnly placed the two scripts in front of Ding Xiu.

"Brother Xiu, good news or bad news, which one do you want to listen to?"

Ding Xiu, who was lying on his side playing with his mobile phone, didn't even bat an eye: "Let's tell the good news first."

After the Xiuchun Dao was completed last year, he was busy promoting the Ghost Blowing Lantern, and then after the Ghost Blowing Lantern ended, he promoted the Xiuchun Dao again. After a few days of rest, he started to deal with New Year's greetings.

If Qin Gang hadn't looked for him, he wouldn't have come to the company.

The corner of Qin Gang's mouth cracked, and he said with a smile: "Two scripts, one is Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate, starring Li Lianjie, and you are the second male lead."

"No acting." Ding Xiu refused.

With his current status, even if his opponent is Li Lianjie, he doesn't want to match him.

In a word, only play the lead role.

It's better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

"Listen to me." Qin Gang said: "Although your role is the second male lead, you have as much part in the role as Li Lianjie, and even a little more. It is said that you are supporting him, but he is actually supporting you. He's a superstar, and the male number two has a bad reputation, so he's the number one male on the surface."

Ding Xiu put down his phone, sat upright, brought the script over, and said with a smile, "Which patron father is supporting me this time?"

Longmen Flying Armor, as soon as you hear the name, you know it is a replica of the Longmen Inn
Brother Jiahui starred in this movie many years ago, and the box office was not bad.

Once again, I didn't expect to be replaced by myself.

The film crew paid Li Lianjie a lot of money to invite him here.

"Old Qin, this wave has worked hard for you."

He thought it was Qin Gang who contributed and participated in the investment to have his own script, Ding Xiu was very moved.

That's Li Lianjie, one of the most expensive Chinese actors, with a salary of over [-] million.

"I'm not working hard." Qin Gang was stunned for a second, and then said: "You underestimate yourself too much. The producer of this drama came to the door and personally named you to act."

"Looking for the Dragon, Xiuchun Dao, the two films have completely opened up the film market, and now there are so many people looking for you to make a film, and the script can't even handle it."

"Brother Xiu, it's not an exaggeration to say that you are the most popular young actor in China now, and Li Lianjie is not at all high-profile, otherwise I would not have accepted this script."

As Ding Xiu became more and more popular, the audience's expectations for him became higher and higher, and Qin Gang became more and more cautious about the selection of scripts.

After the performance, the audience thought it was normal, but if it was a little bit close, they were immediately greeted by the sound of saliva.

It's hard to be popular, but it's too easy to be black. After a few bad dramas are filmed, there is no word of mouth.

Ding Xiu flipped through the script, he played the role of factory owner Yu Huatian, and at the same time he played the second role and Fengli Dao.

No wonder Qin Gang said that he has a lot of roles, one person plays two roles, so it's strange that there are not many roles.

"Playing a eunuch?"

To be honest, it's a bit irritating.

It's not that Ding Xiu has never acted as a eunuch before, but Lin Pingzhi did. It was just to make money back then. To be honest, he pinched his orchid fingers in the film and spoke in a girly way, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Qin Gang spoke earnestly: "Brother Xiu, Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate has the most roles, and the most outstanding characters are Yuhuatian and Zhao Huaian. Zhao Huaian is exclusive to Li Lianjie. The only one I can give you is Yuhuatian. This role is quite difficult."

"It can not only retain your kung fu characteristics, but also subvert your previous character image, I think it's very good."

"The most important thing is that you have Li Lianjie as your matchmaker. It's a face-to-face. No matter how many people want it, you can't even think about it at the box office."

While frowning and flipping through the script, Ding Xiu asked Qin Gang: "The plot is not much different from Dragon Inn. The audience's sense of expectation will be lowered. Why would Li Lianjie stir up such cold food?"

He did this kind of sequel once, and that was the prequel of Lotus Lantern. At that time, the film studio gave too much.

Qin Gang said: "Li Lianjie has set up a foundation, and he is notoriously short of money. He probably wants to earn more money."

I'm almost fifty years old, and I can't shoot for a few years, and I'm short of money. At this age, it seems normal to make a few more movies, even if it's for young people, as long as I can make money.

Ding Xiu nodded: "That's right, but the script is so-so, and the cast is just a bluff."

One Li Lianjie, one him, the two together, the lineup is already a top match.

On the front page of the script, there is also a list of finalized actors, including actress Zhou Xun and popular singer Li Yuchun.

This lineup is taken out, enough to attract attention.

The director of this play is still Xu Laomo, another famous director.

Although the script is not very good, but with this lineup and the strength of Xu Laomo, Ding Xiu has to act if he wants to.

Putting down the Dragon Gate Flying Armor script, Ding Xiu picked up another script.

"New world."

"Korean Movie?"

Opening the script, Ding Xiu saw a string of Korean characters on the front page, followed by Chinese characters.

Looking at it, Ding Xiu found something wrong: "Isn't this Infernal Affairs?"

Qin Gang showed a playful smile: "Take a closer look."

Ding Xiu continued to read, and finally knew why Qin Gang sent this script. The hero is an undercover agent, but it is different from Chen Yongren in Infernal Affairs.

This guy went undercover and became the boss, and finally killed his immediate boss.

Cow batch!

"This script is interesting."

Infernal Affairs is the pinnacle of Hong Kong films and has won numerous awards, but it is still a bit aggrieved to watch. The good people in it are too miserable.

Especially Chen Yongren, who gave up a lot for the mission. His girlfriend who is in love does not want to be with him, and he does not let her be called daddy when he has a daughter.

After paying so much, he died at gunpoint in the end.

Too tragic.

The script of New World is different. Although the hero is an undercover agent in the setting, his boss is not kind at all and threatens him many times in order to get promoted.

On the contrary, the eldest brother in the society is still very kind to him.

He was unwilling to kill him even though he knew he was an undercover agent.

On the one hand, there is the big brother who values ​​love and justice, and on the other hand is the boss who treats him as a stepping stone. A normal person knows how to choose.

Then the male protagonist became blackened. After the death of his eldest brother, he first participated in the election of sitting in the hall, killed other competitors, and then killed his boss, so that his own information completely disappeared.

Compared with Yuhuatian in the Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate, this script in New World is more interesting. The character is rich in heart, a man with three upright views and full of justice slowly turns black, and finally becomes a big boss.

It's challenging to look at.

Ding Xiu asked: "Longmen Flying Armor, New World, which schedule is ahead?"

Qin Gang smiled bitterly: "Brother Xiu, the bad news hasn't been revealed yet, it's just that these two dramas collide, and we can only choose one of the two."

Ding Xiu frowned: "How about the remuneration for the two films?"

From the perspective of the script, he is more inclined to the new world, but if the salary of Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate is too much, it is not impossible for him to play another eunuch.

It's not shabby to come out to have a meal.

"Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate, 500 million yuan, New World, [-] billion yuan."

"How much?" After Qin Gang finished speaking, Ding Xiu licked his ears.

"One billion, you heard me right, and I'm not wrong, it's just Korean won, and it's more than 500 million in our side."

"Depend on!"

Ding Xiu pouted.

If there is really one billion, let alone acting as an undercover agent, he will go to the sea to shoot pornographic movies, and he will close the mountain after a wave. At worst, he will not be an actor in the future, and the one billion will not be spent in several lifetimes.

"Are Korean actors paid so little?"

Qin Gang smiled bitterly: "The remuneration of the actors over there is already low, one billion is already top-notch."

This price, in the mainland, is also the price of second-tier actors. In the mainland, the salaries of first-line movie actors are now over ten million.

"Actually, the remuneration of actors in South Korea used to be scary, not less than ours, but they were cracked down later. There were relevant regulations that actors' remuneration could not exceed a certain percentage of the total budget."

"Because of this, their film industry has grown so rapidly over the years."

South Korea's entertainment industry is not at all purer than that of mainland China.

There are more chaebols over there, and they spend more money than those in the mainland.

Artists used to be tied up by companies to make money, and the remuneration was terrifying.

Later, the development of the situation was too exaggerated, and the prosperity must decline. Under the policies of the relevant departments, the film salary was greatly reduced, and it is what it is now.

Of course, there is one reason why Korean entertainment can develop into what it is today, and that is that the director dares to shoot.

Anyone who has seen Korean movies knows how big the scale is.

There are no restrictions on the subject matter, and the director is free to play, so many good films have been produced.

For example, in the new world this time, undercover agents kill their bosses and competitors. It is impossible for these plots to pass the trial in the mainland.

But it’s fine in Korea, the director is blatantly black, ahem, shoot.

Looking at the two scripts, Ding Xiu scolded, "Damn, it's so hard to choose."

As long as the salary of the new world is higher, or the script of Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate is better, he is not so entangled.

Unfortunately, you can't have both fish and bear's paws. One script is good, but the pay is low, and the other is not so good, but the pay is high.

Qin Gang pondered and said, "I suggest you choose the new world."

Ding Xiu raised his head: "How to say?"

"Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate has a high salary and the script can be shot, but the room for improvement is limited. To put it bluntly, it is just icing on the cake for you. New World is different. This is a Korean movie. Once you star in it, you can open up the Korean market. "

"After all these years, you have reached the top after wandering around the country. It is difficult to make a breakthrough. It is time to go abroad and make your name known. Let's not talk about dominating Hollywood. As long as you can gain a firm foothold in the Asian market, you can boast for a lifetime. "

There is no doubt that Ding Xiu is very popular in the country, everyone knows him, even if he doesn't know him, he has watched the TV series and movies he starred in more or less.

But once he leaves the country, how many people know about him?
Very few.

The reason is that he rarely works with foreign actors.

This new world is a great opportunity. With Ding Xiu's good looks and popularity, if he goes to Korea, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself.

Once successful, his career will blossom in two in the future, and his income will double.

The salary of Korean actors is not fake, but the endorsement fee is high, many top brands are there, and those big companies are not shabby at all.

Holding his chin, Ding Xiu didn't answer. He looked at the two scripts on the table and began to weigh the pros and cons, thinking about which one to play.

A few minutes later, he still picked up the script of the new world.

"That's it."

Qin Gang smiled: "I'll contact the producer over there right now."

The two scripts have pros and cons, no matter which one Ding Xiu chooses, he will support it, otherwise he would not bring both scripts.

He was even more pleased that Dan Dingxiu could choose the new world.

The 31-year-old Ding Xiu still has a long future ahead. Going abroad now will undoubtedly be a huge boost to his career.

Spending his whole life in the country, he can only play supporting roles for Li Lianjie and those top bosses all his life.

……

The New World crew moved very quickly. The contract and the script were sent out in a short time.

In the contract, there are also requirements for Ding Xiu himself, that is, he cannot ask for leave without reason, and try his best to meet the requirements of the director. The most difficult thing is to ask him to understand the script.

Well, not only his scripts, but also those of the opponent actors.

Because he doesn't understand Korean.

Although the crew didn't ask him to learn Korean, if he doesn't memorize the lines of the opponent actor, the language will be difficult, and you won't know what they say, and you will act like a chicken feather.

Likewise, the opposing actor has to learn his lines by heart.

Ding Xiu was speechless for taking one person's salary to do the work of two people. Isn't this bullying honest people?

What can he do?
Ask Qin Gang to reply immediately, and you have to add money.

After some negotiations, the remuneration was set at 700 million, and Ding Xiu signed the contract.

After Ding Xiu rejected the crew of Longmen Feijia, Longmen Feijia quickly found an actor, and finally the role of Yuhuatian fell on Chen Kun.

First, the ancient costumes look feminine and look like a factory, and second, the prices are very cheap.

For this role, Chen Kun promised not to cut the show, and joined the group to practice swords two months in advance.
Chen Kun, who just became an actor with bullets flying, is still quite popular, and his popularity is high. This time, he played the role at the price of cabbage, because it is also an opportunity.

After auditioning, fitting, and after much deliberation, the producer finally finalized him.

At the same time, the movie on the Spring Festival file is over.

Embroidered Spring Knife has a box office of [-] million.

There are 400 million people on the embarrassing journey.

Avatar [-] million, um, US dollars.

Unlike Embroidered Spring Knife, People on Journey, and other Spring Festival movies, although the Spring Festival movie is over, Avatar has not been released, but is still on the daily list of movies.

Looks like a few more rounds to go.

The notification from the theater is to continue playing and delay the release.

I don't know how long the delay will be.

But no one will let go of this cornucopia. The Avatar who makes a lot of money every day is a hen that can lay eggs, or a golden egg.

It must be squeezed as long as it can be squeezed until it can't make any money.

In March, when spring was blooming, Ding Xiu quietly left Beiping and got on a plane to South Korea with two bodyguards and an assistant.
