This actor needs more money

Even the producers never expected that the song would be the first thing to come out of Legend of Sword and Fairy.

It has been very quiet. The two songs of Xiaoyaotan have been played very much on music websites. Many people followed the songs and went to watch the TV series.

"My love for you has always been quiet"

"In exchange for your occasional care"

"It's obviously a movie about three people"

"I can never have a name"

The first time I listened to it, it was very quiet, but the artistic conception was good and the lyrics were well written. After taking a closer look at the lyricist, Jay Chou's royal lyricist Fang Wenshan, everyone was not surprised.

However, when watching the drama and seeing Lin Yueru die in the Demon Locking Tower to save Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er, everyone knew the meaning of this song.

I don’t know how many viewers shed tears on the spot.

The person who has always been very quiet is talking about Lin Yueru, and Xiaoyao Tan is naturally talking about Li Xiaoyao.

One person sighed and revealed Li Xiaoyao's ending early.

"Words whispered in the ear of a former lover"

"It has flowed eastward with the sound of the tide"

"Looking back again"

"The past also falls with the maple leaves."

"Love has come to an end and hate has given up on its promise."

"Fate thinks it's funny"

“I have too many ideas to control”

"How much does Top Gun cost?"

"It's rare to have a few close friends."

"Looking back again, I hear the laughter and am drunk in my dreams."

In Ding Xiu's plain and vicissitudes of singing, this song seems a bit lonely and desolate. Li Xiaoyao's life is a tragedy.

Lin Yueru, who had promised to eat and play until he was old, died. The master Jiu Jianxian who taught him martial arts and led him into the world was beheaded by his daughter Anu with a sword.

The stupid disciple who always called him Master Li Xiaoyao died trying to save him.

We had vowed to make a lasting alliance together, and had gone through many vicissitudes of life. We had been married, and our wife Zhao Ling'er, who had attended court, passed away.

It's a tragedy for everyone, and it's hard to come to terms with it.

This is why Li Xiaoyao told Jiujianxian not to accept a person named Li Xiaoyao as his disciple in the future when he used Nuwa's power to go back to ten years ago.

He gave a stone seed to Zhao Ling'er when she was a child, which cut off her thoughts.

Little do they know that everything is destined, and when a page is turned, it is a new page of reincarnation.

"Holy shit, holy shit, this show is too low-key and poisonous."

"Killing each plot one by one, my God, does the screenwriter dare to give out his home address? I want to give him a gift."

"One of the best TV series this year, bar none."

"There are quite a lot of veteran actors. Teacher Xu and Teacher Li collaborated again, which fulfilled a youth dream of mine. The young actors in the starring roles are also good-looking. I highly recommend it to everyone."

"When I saw Lin Yueru's sacrifice, I used two tissues."

"When I saw Teacher Li, I also used two tissues."

"What I like most about this drama is not Li Xiaoyao, but the Jiujianxian. He is chic and handsome. His compassionate way is better than his senior brother's ruthless way."

"Warm reminder, the actor who plays the role of Jiujianxian is Xie Junhao, the Golden Horse Best Actor. He is a very powerful veteran actor. Everyone is welcome to pay attention."

Thirteen percent.

This is the ratings on local channels on the day of the finale of Legend of Sword and Fairy.

For such a big hit, the production company did not need to take action. The second round of sales began. In order to satisfy the wishes of audiences across the country, several provincial TV stations rushed to buy it.

After several rounds of negotiations, two TV stations were finally sold.

Qin Chao Entertainment received another large dividend, and this time it was a real profit.

When Ding Xiu came to the company again, Qin Gang was organizing the company's people to move.

"Old Qin, what are you doing?" The hall was filled with smoke and people were moving furniture. Ding Xiu, wearing an expensive custom-made suit, stood at the door but did not go in.

Qin Gang rolled up his sleeves and held a cigarette in his mouth. He looked up at the two-story building and said, "Move to a larger office building."

"This small storefront is too shabby, and it is difficult to negotiate business. It has been misunderstood many times as a leather goods company."

The second sale of Legend of Sword and Fairy made the company a huge profit. The first thing Qin Gang did was to change the address to a place with good feng shui.

It's a two-story building with a double facade. I really can't afford it. I've wanted to change it for a long time, but I didn't have the money before.

Ding Xiu said seriously: "It should have been changed a long time ago. Remember to leave me a bigger office."

Looking at the female staff members coming and going, he continued: "Also, from now on we are a regular company, so we should not dress so casually."

"All women must wear uniforms. Summer will be here soon. Black stockings, hip-covering skirts, and high heels are arranged."

Qin Gang: "..."

He was too embarrassed to expose Ding Xiu.

But that's okay, he often works in the company, his employees are more eye-catching, and their work efficiency is usually higher.

"Brother Xiu, didn't I give you the script contract last time? The information Yang Siwei returned to me only had a commercial performance contract."

A few days after the Spring Festival, he arranged work for Ding Xiu, including a TV series. Ding Xiu only focused on commercial performances and did not reply to him about the TV series.

Ding Xiu's narrow eyes were half-squinted: "Forget it, it's probably difficult to surpass the Seven Nights Demon Lord. There aren't many scenes and he doesn't have much money."

The two of them kept part of the profits from investing in Legend of Sword and Fairy in the company, and this time they invested in the drama "Sugar Man".

The name is Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, and it adopts the format of a unit drama. There are six units: Hua Pi, Xiao Cui, Chu Ling Que, Xiao Xie, and Xiao Qian. Each unit stars different actors and tells different stories.

The unit starring Ding Xiu is called Xiaoqian, and the character is Ning Caichen. After watching it, it is a unit drama, and there are not many scenes. It can be filmed in a month at most, and the pay is naturally not much.

Qin Gang sighed secretly. This was a good drama. He really hoped that Ding Xiu could star in it, but if Ding Xiu didn't, there was nothing he could do about it.

But Ding Xiu's next words made his eyes light up again.

"Zhang Jizhong is planning to remake The Legend of the Condor Heroes. I want to watch this drama."

Qin Gang was excited: "Are you sure?"

Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio is a one-unit drama. Although Ding Xiu is the leading actor, he is only one of the units. It is not comparable to the mustachioed The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and I don't know how far behind it is.

Ding Xiu put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked forward, and said in a calm tone: "It's hard to say until The Legend of Sword and Fairy is released. Now, I'm a little sure."

The second round of broadcasting of "Sword of Sword" has begun. It is a double-star drama, broadcast on two provincial stations, and can be watched by viewers across the country. Although the ratings are not as high as when it was on local stations, the traffic is unknown how many times greater.

The heat has already risen and it has the potential to explode.

Zhang Jizhong didn't decide to give the role to Ding Xiu before, probably because he considered that his popularity might not be able to support the male lead in such a big production.

Now with the popularity of Fairy Sword, a lot of concerns should be dispelled.

"If I can win the Hundred Flowers Award next time, I will be more confident." Ding Xiu continued.

He has been in commercial acting for a while, and he came back specifically to wait for the announcement of the shortlist for the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards.

He was the well-deserved second male lead in House of Flying Daggers, and the old man also nominated for Best Supporting Actor.

Even if he can't win an award, just being nominated is still a big hit for Ding Xiu.

Qin Gang was in a surging mood and said excitedly: "Zhang Yimou's films are famous for winning many awards. Maybe there is something wrong. I will keep an eye on the Hundred Flowers Awards these days and notify you as soon as there is any news."

Ding Xiu nodded: "Yes."

After looking around, Qin Gang pulled Ding Xiu aside and whispered: "Now is a critical time. Your personal relationship matters need to be handled well."

"Don't put your body too high, and don't be aggressive. Women want to be coaxed and licked."

Ding Xiu gets a headache when he mentions this matter: "Let's talk about it later. Let's get over this now. I heard from Zhao Jian that the director of The Legend of the Condor Heroes has been decided. He and Yu Min, you can conquer it."

As always, there is a literary and martial arts director and a martial arts director. Zhao Jian is a martial arts director and also a martial arts instructor.

Qin Gang solemnly said: "Understood."

As the company's largest shareholder, Ding Xiu personally visited the new company.

The new address is more than 20 kilometers away from the original Qin Chao Entertainment. It is a park and the geographical environment is indeed much higher than the original company.

Entering the door is a large office area with many computer desks, and everyone has a position.

Walking inside is the office. Ding Xiu's office is opposite Qin Gang's office. Pushing the door open, the office is well-lit. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook half of the city.

There is a side door on the side, which is a rest room with a bed and a wardrobe.

The last company had just closed down, so everything was ready-made.

Qin Gang pointed to a relatively spacious office and said, "Brother Xiu, this one is relatively spacious and it belongs to you."

Ding Xiu turned his head and glanced at the office opposite. The glass window was visible from one side. The inside could see the outside, but the outside could not see the inside.

"I don't come here often, I just want something smaller."

"Don't mention it, you are the major shareholder and the number one brother in our company. This is respect for you."

Lao Qin also wanted the one opposite. He was usually busy with personal affairs and occasionally had to talk to his secretary. The single-sided glass mirror was more...convenient.

"Really?" Ding Xiu raised his eyebrows: "Then I will be disrespectful and ask someone to replace the glass in my office with a one-way mirror and use a fingerprint code for the door."

Qin Gang: "..."

Or you can play.

Ding Xiu wandered around and then went back. Qin Gang couldn't go back. He had to arrange things next. By the time everything was done, it was already dark.

Outside, the employees were eating lunch boxes. In the office, Qin Gang was sitting on the boss's chair, facing the floor-to-ceiling windows, with thousands of lights at his feet, looking indescribably heroic.

These are the empires he conquered.

A few seconds later, the phone rang in his trouser pocket. It was Qin Lan calling.

"Brother Qin, I can't go to the Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio you told me about. A director just asked me to take on a female lead role. I can't let him go. I can't get away."

"It's okay, just go ahead and be busy." The smile on Qin Gang's face did not diminish. Generally, actors with some ability have their own channels and resources. This kind of thing is very common in the industry to get roles without going through a company.

Qin Lan is very enterprising. He shoots one drama after another almost all year round. He produces three or four dramas every year. His development momentum is very strong, and he is no worse than Ding Xiu.

Over the past few years, she has also accumulated her own network of resources. In fact, she can develop on her own without relying on a company, but it will be a little harder.

The reason he didn't run away was probably because he was nostalgic, or because Ding Xiu was here.

"Let me tell you, the company has moved. When you come back this time, let's talk about the contract. It's time for a change after such a long time."

On the other end of the phone, Qin Lan's tone was joyful: "Thank you, Brother Qin. I'll be back in two days."

That's the good thing about Lao Qin. When it's time to talk about money, he talks about money without any ambiguity.

After hanging up the phone from Qin Lan, Qin Gang sat in a chair and meditated. Then he called Yang Mi, but no one answered.

Ten minutes later, in a high school in Peking, Yang Mi had just finished her evening self-study and ran to the corridor to call Qin Gang back.

"Mr. Qin, I'm sorry, I was in class just now, what can I do?"

She is still in her third year of high school and is about to face the college entrance examination. She has already passed the art test of Nortel. She only has to wait for the cultural class score to reach the standard before school starts in August.

Qin Gang tapped his fingers lightly on the desk and said in a deep voice: "I have a play here, the unit drama Liaozhaizhiyi produced by Sugar Man. There is a unit heroine named Xiaoqian. I want you to try the show. , but I’m afraid it will affect your study.”

Ding Xiu and Qin Lan are already on the road, and there is basically no shortage of filming. In the second echelon, the people he is more optimistic about include Huang Bo and Yang Mi.

Huang Bo is not suitable for ancient costumes, so this role can only fall to Yang Mi.

Hearing this, Yang Mi was shocked: "It's okay. My academic performance is very good. There is no problem at all. I am very confident about the college entrance examination. I can ask for leave from the teacher tomorrow."

Just kidding, the female lead, even though she is the female lead in a unit drama, she is still the female lead.

Don’t say you have time, you have to go even if you don’t have time.

Why study hard for Nortel? One is to hone his acting skills and learn something, and the other is to have a good background and make it easier to film in the future.

Now that the opportunity is right in front of her, she will fight for it no matter what.

"Does it really not affect the college entrance examination?" Qin Gang asked again.

"No influence, no influence."

She is a local, so taking the Nortel exam is a little easier than taking the exam from other places. In addition, her scores at the acting academy are not very high, so she can get into it if she can get into it, so there is no pressure at all.

"Then you discuss it with the adults at home and come to the company tomorrow and we'll talk about it."

Yang Mi is still a minor, so the contract she signed does not count. An adult in the family must agree to sign before she can join the group.

Yang Mi said happily: "I understand, I understand. I'll be here at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

Having grown up on a set, she knows similar processes better than anyone else.

"Well, the company has moved today. I will text you the new address shortly."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin. I'm sorry that you called me personally at such a late hour."

"It's okay. I won't disturb your class. Goodbye."

Qin Gang didn't have time to chat with Yang Mi. Ding Xiu and Qin Lan didn't play the role of Ning Caichen, and the other didn't play Nie Xiaoqian. Now that it was the newcomer Yang Mi, he had to tell the sugar man.

I’m so tired!

In March, while Sword and Fairy was still on the air, the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards announced this year’s shortlist.

Qin Gang immediately turned on the computer to check.

Skip the Best Feature Film, Outstanding Feature Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor and Actor, and jump to the column for Best Supporting Actor.

Ding Xiu: House of Flying Daggers

Qin Gang's fingers were a little trembling. He was not so excited when he went to the club for the first time when he was young.

Although I was mentally prepared early, I still couldn't calm down when I saw the scene in front of me.

Looking up, no surprise, Andy Lau was nominated for Best Actor, Zhang Ziyi was nominated for Best Actress, and Zhang Yimou was nominated for Best Director.

"This wave is a bit suspenseful."
