This actor needs more money

"Brother, you are new to Shanghai, so nothing has changed?"

After a few sips of wine, Wang Baoqiang frowned and started complaining.

There have been several versions of New Shanghai Beach before, and Xu Wenqiang died in the end.

Wang Baoqiang has not seen the old version of Shanghai Bund because he was not born at that time, but he has seen the versions of Andy Lau and Zhang Guorong, and the ending seems to be similar to that of Ding Xiu and others.

It seems that the director still did not break out of the old version's framework and avoided conventions in the final finale.

"It can't be said that, at least there are changes in the process." Huang Bo said thoughtfully: "It's just that the names of the protagonist and the supporting role are the same, and everything else is different, then it's not Shanghai Beach, it's just a nostalgic skin. A new TV series.”

"In my opinion, this drama is a good remake. The old version focused a lot on the love story between Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng. The new version focuses on the brotherhood between Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li, and the love is just an embellishment."

"As for Xu Wenqiang's death in the end, it's a bit regretful, but the regretful ending is much better and more memorable than the bad happy endings on the market."

Huang Bo is much older than Ding Xiu. He was already sensible when Shanghai Beach was a hit, and he watched it frequently.

This time Ding Xiu's new Shanghai Beach aired, he happened to be idle and had some spare time to watch the series. In comparison, he felt that the remake was quite successful.

First of all, the character design has enriched Ding Li and has a lot of room for growth. The character plays a very important role along the way. His personality charm is even greater than that of Xu Wenqiang. He is obviously ruthless in his actions, but he can't be hated.

Because he is from a lower-class background, he has little education and no sense of family and country. What he wants most is to live a good life, be rich, powerful, and not bullied.

Desire for power does not mean losing humanity. Ding Li is filial to his mother, loyal to his brothers, and does not bully the poor.

He also liked Feng Chengcheng, but knowing that Feng Chengcheng liked his brother Xu Wenqiang, he hid this love in his heart and promoted the two of them many times.

Ding Li's method is in line with the psychology of most ordinary people, and it is easy for people to get involved.

On the contrary, Xu Wenqiang does not do bad things day by day, only thinks about the justice of the country, and is an upright man, which makes people a little bit embarrassed.

You know, you are really helping Feng Jingyao, why are you pretending to be a good person?

In summary, Shanghai Beach is a good drama. The remake was successful and it is considered to be above average. Although there are still areas for improvement and it is not perfect, it is of a higher standard than most dramas on the market and is worth watching.

Ding Xiu chuckled and said: "Look, Huang still knows how to appreciate. Before the remake, director Gao Xi did a lot of research. He wanted to ensure the feelings of the old audience while also attracting young audiences. To be able to balance the two to this point is already It’s pretty good.”

"That's right." Huang Bo continued: "You have to rest on your laurels, play with feelings, and be original. How can it be so easy?"

Being rebutted by the two people one after another, Wang Baoqiang was embarrassed: "You two are right, I am wrong, okay."

Huang Bo laughed: "We are still very democratic. If we don't hold a one-note speech, we should raise our hands and vote to see if what you say makes sense."

Hearing this, Baoqiang handed over his hand and said, "Don't vote, I admit defeat."

Huang Bo is also an eagle, and he actually voted. There are only three people here, and Ding Xiu must be standing on the opposite side.

It's obvious that he was cheated.

"If you admit defeat, punish yourself with a drink." Huang Bo filled Wang Baoqiang's cup with a smile.

Ding Xiu and Wang Baoqiang did not drink until midnight. They broke up before nine o'clock in the evening. The bedding Zhao Liying bought was useless.

"It's already this time, so just sleep at home. You're still driving. It's not safe on the road."

Xiaoou said to Ding Xiu and Wang Baoqiang.

After drinking for several hours, none of the three of them had enough fun. Except for Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo was six to seven points drunk.

Ding Xiu, in particular, was very energetic. If he didn't smell of alcohol, it would be hard to imagine that he was someone who had drunk several kilograms of alcohol.

As an ordinary person, of course she wouldn't like to have guests. After all, it would be difficult to clean up and inconvenient, but these two people are Huang Bo's good buddies, delivering furniture and carrying refrigerators during the day.

"No, I'll call the company's driver and come back next time." Ding Xiu refused Xiaoou's kindness and turned to Wang Baoqiang, who was lying on the sofa. "Baoqiang, I'll take you back on the way."

Raising his heavy head, Wang Baoqiang blushed, squinting his sleepy eyes and said, "No, no need, I've informed the assistant, he'll be here soon."

"Okay, I'll go back first, see you another day."

Ding Xiu and Zhao Liying went downstairs. The driver and the car were already waiting outside the community. Zhao Liying called Yang Siwei, who directly arranged for the company's driver and bus to pick them up.

As for the RV, park it here first, and someone will be arranged to drive it away later.

When the two of them got into the car and left the community, waiting for the security guard to let them go, a beautiful figure walked by and then came back.

The woman was wearing a beige long windbreaker, carrying an LV bag, black boots, and long wavy hair. She was half-bent and smiled at Ding Xiu in the back seat: "Hello, Brother Xiu, I It's Brother Qiang's assistant who came to pick him up. How can I get to the second unit?"

Ding Xiu, who had the car window open for some air, looked at the woman and remembered that Baoqiang did have such a beautiful assistant named Xiaorong.

"Go straight in and turn to the right, which is Unit 2. Huang Bo's house is in Building 5, on the ninth floor."

"Thank you, brother Xiu, and walk slowly."

"You're welcome."

The black business car slowly left the community, Zhao Liying's heart of gossip was burning, and she said curiously: "Brother Baoqiang's assistant is very beautiful."

Ding Xiu nodded: "It's quite beautiful."

As far as Baoqiang Assistant’s looks are concerned, she’s almost ready to debut as an actor, how can she not be beautiful?

Thinking of this, Ding Xiu wanted to cry. He looked at his assistants, then his assistants, Jia Ling, Zhao Liying, and the bodyguards. They were all shabby.

"It seems that Brother Baoqiang will get better soon."

"Why do you say that?"

"You can tell by looking at how his assistant is dressed. LV bags, clothes and pants are all famous brands. How can an ordinary assistant have so much money?"

Ding Xiu chuckled: "Maybe he comes from a good family, or maybe he saved money to buy it."

Zhao Liying immediately rolled her eyes: "Come on, do you believe this? The salary of an assistant is very low. Even if you can get close contact with celebrities, the novelty will disappear after a long time, and your life will be embarrassing. You will eventually have to return to life. of."

"The company will also investigate family background before joining the company. This kind of highly private job will not allow rich girls to come and experience life."

The salary of ordinary assistants is really not high, and it depends more on bonuses during holidays. This mainly depends on the character of the boss.

Because you can see celebrities up close, and you will know a lot of things when you are busy serving tea and drinking water every day, so the company will not let people who just want to watch celebrities for fun take this job.

Therefore, Wang Baoqiang's assistant's consumption can only be so high because Wang Baoqiang himself paid for it.

They are giving away brand-name bags and clothes. Even a fool knows what this means.

Leaning on the car window with one hand, Ding Xiu pressed his temples and said, "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, as long as Baoqiang understands it."

It seems that he will have to ask Baoqiang later if he is sincere or just playing around.

The latter is simpler, but in the former there are many things to consider, such as character, personality compatibility, family situation, liking of both parties, property division...

Hearing Ding Xiu's words, Zhao Liying curled her lips, folded her hands in front of her chest and said nothing.

To talk about scum, it has to be Ding Xiu.

…

"This is the finale. Damn it, Wen Qiang still can't escape death."

"I almost cried when I saw Xu Wenqiang slowly falling down. In the last few seconds of his life, all he could think about was Fang Yanyun, Feng Chengcheng, and that sentence about going to France."

"Xu Wenqiang was shot and the theme song played. This moment was extremely tragic."

"Brother Qiang, have a good trip."

"Did anyone notice Ding Li's expression? From the shock when he saw Xu Wenqiang get out of the car and take out a gun, to the heartache after Feng Jingyao was shot, and finally to the tearful shooting of Xu Wenqiang, and loss, there are all kinds of mixed emotions in this minute. It should be the peak of Ding Xiu’s acting skills.”

"Alas, good people don't live long. Perhaps from the moment Xu Wenqiang's family was killed, death was a kind of relief for him."

"Feng Jingyao is finally dead."

"Ding Li must be the most saddened by these two gunshots. After doing so many things, his father-in-law died, and Xu Wenqiang didn't even look at him before he died."

"Xu Wenqiang's death is destined, but Ding Li's growth surprised me. From a little red guy selling fruit, to joining a gang and becoming Brother Li, he was called Mr. Ding after he became a leader. The journey has been colorful. I am looking forward to filming the second one." I want to see how Ding Li dominates Shanghai."

"Brothers upstairs, don't look forward to it. In the second part, you will only see the old Ding Li in poverty, sweeping the streets with a broom and pushing a dung truck."

We all know how the Shanghai Bund gang ended up, but it would be pointless to actually film it.

It's the same as looking forward to the second half of the movie.

"Yes, don't look forward to it, just look forward to Ding Xiu's next drama. I heard that Langya has been completed and is in post-production. I don't know if we can see it in the first half of the year."

In the early stage of Huang Bo's wedding, New Shanghai Tang ushered in the finale. This ending was a bit controversial because it was similar to the old version.

In addition, before the finale, director Gao Xi made a show of announcing that there would be two different versions of the ending, and let the audience vote on which one to show.

Because of this operation, it was frequently criticized by the mainstream media, and in the end it was dropped.

What the audience saw was Feng Jingyao's death and Xu Wenqiang's death.

But overall, this drama became very popular during the summer vacation. Ding Xiu and Huang Xiaoming's net worth soared. In terms of career, many Republican scripts came to the door, hoping that they would play roles similar to Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li.

Commercially, commercial performance activities have increased, and I have received some evening parties and brand endorsements.

Huang Xiaoming's side and Ding Xiu didn't know that he didn't make much money here. He almost didn't accept brand endorsements, so he picked a few commercial activities that could be featured on TV, and they were for charity.

In Yang Siwei's words, we can no longer accept random advertisements as before. Otherwise, when our net worth rises again next year, we will not be able to accept many advertisements of the same type, and we will make millions less in vain.

It is not an exaggeration to say that you will make millions less.

The current price of Ding Xiu is much more expensive than last year. The same brand may cost one million last year, but this year it will cost one hundred and fifty, or one hundred and six.

At the current stage, Yang Siwei plans to wait until the endorsement contracts of hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands that Ding Xiu accepted in the past few years expire, and then re-engage with someone in the same genre who is better and has more money.

…

"Let me introduce to you, this is Ding Xiu, the best man. He's handsome."

"Brother Xiu, this is my college classmate from Frontier, a dubbing artist, and he is the host today."

"Hello, Brother Xiu."

"Hello, I didn't expect Brother Bo to have such a handsome classmate, I'm sorry, bro, you can make your debut with your looks."

"Haha, I can't show off my performance, so I can only do some behind-the-scenes work."

Huang Bo's wedding was relatively low-key, not in Peiping, but in his hometown of Qingdao. The guests at the wedding were all relatives, friends and classmates. There were not many people in the circle, only Ding Xiu and the others were more present.

Wang Baoqiang and his assistants Xiao Rong, Qin Lan, Ding Xiu, Gao Yuanyuan, Zhao Liying, manager Yang Siwei, company boss Qin Gang, and several junior brothers and sisters from the company who came to help.

As the most handsome boy, Ding Xiu was undoubtedly the best man. He wore a black suit, a bow tie, and strong features. Those who didn't know it thought he was the groom.

Fortunately, with Wang Baoqiang as a foil to Huang Bo, the person involved didn't look too ugly. He had a big red flower pinned on his chest and was beaming all day long.

On the bridesmaid side, Gao Yuanyuan and Qin Lan came together, with smiles on their faces and chatting from time to time.

They are all well-known beauties. The guests present did not connect them with the grudges. They just felt a little excited to see the big stars, and they chased each one for autographs and photos.

Qin Lan has been busy with work and has a lot of resources in the past two years. Several dramas are aired every year, and his reputation is getting bigger and bigger. Gao Yuanyuan does not film many movies, but the advantage is that the quality of his works is durable, no worse than Qin Lan.

To this day, the two of them are somewhat on equal footing.

Ding Xiu, who was sandwiched between the two, was trembling and in a dilemma. He finally waited for Huang Bo to introduce his classmates before he could get away.

Frontier, a handsome and elegant guy with a magnetic voice, is the host this time.

This made Ding Xiu a little sluggish. In the same Nortel dubbing system, the ugly Huang Bo became an actor, and the handsome Jiang Jiang started to do behind-the-scenes dubbing. The two of them probably got the wrong script.

"You guys chat first, I'm a little busy, see you later." After the introduction, Huang Bo hurried to greet other relatives and friends.

Not knowing Bianjiang or being familiar with it, Ding Xiu just chatted briefly, looked around, found Qin Chao's entertainment table, and walked over.

"Come on, come on, Brother Xiu is here." Yuan Shanshan touched Yang Mi with her elbow and said excitedly.

This is the second time she has met Ding Xiu since joining Qin Chao Entertainment. The last time was a quick glance on the day she joined Qin Chao Entertainment.

As the number one brother of Qin Chao Entertainment, who doesn't admire him? Ding Xiu is a well-known figure outside, so being able to be friends with him is the desire of many people.

"I saw it." Yang Mi said calmly, "Why don't you be so exaggerated?"

"I'd better keep my emotions down."

"Then when he comes over, aren't you going to give up your seat?"

"It's necessary. Stop talking and come here." Seeing Ding Xiu coming over, Yuan Shanshan stood up quickly and said with a smile: "Brother Xiu, sit here."

Someone gave up his seat, and Ding Xiu sat down naturally: "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Yuan Shanshan was satisfied to be able to talk to Ding Xiu. When she was about to find another chair, she found that there were no idle chairs. Even if there were, they couldn't join the table because it seemed too crowded.

The smart Yang Mi immediately noticed her embarrassment, pointed to the table of uncles and aunts in the distance and said, "There is an empty seat over there."

Yuan Shanshan: "..."

She felt as if she had been tricked by Yang Mi, but there was no evidence.
