This actor needs more money

"call out!"

"call out!"

As Ding Xiu danced his sword, the sound of the sword's blade piercing the air continued to be heard.

When he was about to finish, Ding Xiu glanced at the big tree in front of him, his eyes moved, he flipped his wrist and stabbed straight with his long sword.

"brush!"

A fallen leaf was pierced by thorns.

"good!"

Yuan Bing couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded, his lips almost reaching behind his ears.

It's so wonderful. People who are not martial arts students will never understand the style of this sword.

It is very difficult to pierce a leaf with a sword. Timing, tricky angles, and force exertion skills are all indispensable.

An ordinary person would stare wide-eyed at the leaves falling, and if he stabbed them with a sword, he would fail nine times out of ten.

If you try to stab a leaf, you may not succeed even once a hundred times.

But Ding Xiu did it once. It can be seen from his firm eyes and calm face that he is not surprised at all. Even if he does it ten times again, the result will not change.

"Click!"

"What do you do as a martial arts instructor?"

In front of the monitor, director Jiang Jiajun almost cursed.

This was filming. Ding Xiu acted well. Yuan Bing suddenly said hello and applauded. Fortunately, he didn't enter the country. The sound was silenced later, otherwise the scene would have to be reshot.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I got a little excited." Putting his hands together, Yuan Bing awkwardly apologized to the people around him.

Seeing him like this, everyone smiled knowingly and didn't take it seriously.

They almost couldn't help but applaud.

"Brother Xiu, do you want to take a look at mine and give me some advice?"

After Ding Xiu finished filming a scene, while waiting, Tan Kai ran over with a sword and asked for advice.

In this drama, Ding Xiu does the most martial arts scenes, followed by him, and the others mostly do literary dramas.

But who asked him to play the overlord Xiang Yu? The audience didn't believe him if he wasn't strong in martial arts.

Ding Xiu took the thermos cup from Zhao Liying and nodded slightly: "Brother Tan, you practice while I watch."

Standing at attention and cupping his fists, Tan Kai used the sword technique taught by the martial arts instructor, which was exactly the same as Ding Xiu's technique just now.

There is no way, they are all taught by a teacher.

The swordsmanship is still the same. People are different, and the viewing effect is greatly reduced. When a sword falls into Tan Kai's hand, it looks clumsy and jerky, and is not at all coordinated with his burly body.

Zhao Liying laughed secretly while watching.

He turned his head and glanced at Ding Xiu, admiring him in his heart: "Looking at the male artists in the entire entertainment industry, Brother Xiu is the most powerful in this area."

After taking a sip of tea and spitting out the tea leaves, Ding Xiu gave the thermos cup to Zhao Liying, stood up and said to Tan Kai: "The sword is dead, but the person is alive. It is right to follow Yuan Bing's instructions, but you have ignored your height. Wingspan.”

"As tall as you are, it doesn't matter if you swing the sword a little harder or a little wider. You don't have to stick to the rules and just stab down three inches."

"Watch my demonstration again. Raise your hand and swing the sword. No matter how wide it is, no matter how wide it is, okay, that's it."

"You can take a bigger step forward. Follow your habits and take big strides..."

People who are not martial arts practitioners are not very sensitive to martial arts movements. They usually just copy what the martial arts instructor teaches them one by one, with little innovation or their own opinions.

In the eyes of Ding Xiu, an expert, Tan Kai's movements are full of flaws. If he really wanted to give serious advice, he would not be able to finish it in three days and three nights. This is just a casual lesson.

Ding Xiu was teaching Tan Kai to learn swordsmanship here, and soon there were a bunch of people standing around him, with the word "admiration" written all over their faces.

"He deserves to be the best in the entertainment industry. He is really good. With a few pointers, Tan Kai's movements become more standardized and more natural."

"Teacher Yuan Bing, brother Xiu changed your movements, aren't you angry?"

"Why should I be angry? If he is happy and changes everything, I won't be angry. I will still thank him."

Yuan Bing was not angry at all that Ding Xiu pushed down his martial arts moves. On the contrary, he was very happy.

Because Ding Xiu's attainments in martial arts are much higher than his, the two of them are not on the same level and cannot be jealous at all, but rather look at their seniors.

If a person is a little better than you, you may compare yourself with him. If he is a little better than you, you will regard him as a target to catch up with. He is one level better than you, and the rest will only be worship.

This is what Ding Xiu looks like in his eyes.

After all, he is a person that Wu Wangting calls a master.

That is to say, he was born in the wrong era and at the wrong time. If it was during the Republic of China, Ding Xiu would have made a mark in the history of martial arts.

For example, a certain hero punishes traitors and eradicates evil, bringing benefit to one party.

If Ding Xiu knew what Yuan Bing was thinking, he would definitely scold him.

How could he be so noble when he was born in troubled times? He still punished rape and eliminated evil. He was the traitor, right?

It would be good if it benefits one party and does not harm the other party.

"I've heard for a long time that the Shinhwa TV series has been approved, and it's finally started filming. I'm looking forward to it."

"Finally the right actor was chosen this time, the ancient costume god Ding Xiu. With him, the ratings will be great."

"The actress is also good. This one named Bai Bin is so beautiful and has such a good temperament."

"Miss Jinsha's costumes are so beautiful. I was obsessed with Lan Feilin back then. I support her this time."

"Don't destroy the classics. In the end, Yi Xiaochuan couldn't love it."

"Let's not talk about destroying classics. Don't look at Qin Shihuang's wife and don't dare to do anything. You only dare to have a crush on her."

"If I were to travel through the Qin Dynasty, I would not let go of Qin Shihuang's wife, Liu Bang's wife Lu Fei, and Xiang Yu's wife Yu Ji."

"Brothers upstairs, go to Qidian.com and read a novel. I support you."

"The lineup is pretty good. Best Actor Zhang Shi, Best Actor Ding Xiu, four young actors and actresses, Ren Quan. Although the female leads are not well-known, they are just eye-catching. They are meant to be role models."

The press conference manuscript of the Shinhwa TV series came out, and reports from major media and comments from netizens came flooding in.

Most people have high expectations for the TV series adapted from mythology.

First of all, the lineup is quite sincere. Needless to say about the male actors, Ding Xiu and Zhang Shi both won Best Actor. Ding Xiu himself is famous and can fully support the ratings.

The addition of Ren Quan, a four-year-old boy, adds a bit of excitement to the drama, and many fans hope to see him in ancient costumes.

The female protagonists are not well-known, but one is more beautiful than the other. From the perspective of a vase, that’s enough!

Don't underestimate the role of a vase, sometimes it shows the sincerity of the crew.

Since it is a vase, it is a hard requirement to be beautiful and in good shape.

But some crews can't even get the roles right, so they just put some ugly people into the cast, or they just have plastic surgery on their faces, and their chins are so sharp that they can stab people to death.

Bai Bin, Zhang Meng, Jin Sha, and Chen Zihan all look like natural beauties with no surgery on their faces.

Another reason for looking forward to it is that the movie myth leaves too many regrets. First of all, everyone can't accept the ending. Princess Yushu waited for a thousand years, but in the end she couldn't love her, which is very regrettable.

The second is that Cheng Long's Meng Yi is so ugly. He's so old that people who don't know think he plays Jin Xishan's father.

Furthermore, due to space reasons, many things are not explained clearly and the details cannot be carried out.

In the evening, the Shinhwa crew filmed a night scene.

This is a dialogue between Qin Shihuang and his ministers in Xianyang City.

"As an extra, everyone lines up to change clothes and put on makeup."

"The leader of the group will take care of it, and we will have a unified training and drama presentation in twenty minutes."

"Closer shot, come here and put on your makeup first."

On the set, the assistant director directed the actors to put on makeup, and also told them about the scene, telling them what to do, what to say, when to kneel and when to stand up.

"The quality of this group of extras is quite high, and they are more obedient to discipline."

"They look pretty good too. Those in the close-up are ready to debut. I heard they have acted in more than 80 movies. They are newcomers who have been in the industry for two years."

"Oh, it's not that easy to make a debut. Students from major acting schools and art schools are still waiting for help."

"Hehe, it's your kid who's just waiting to be fed. I heard that you brought a girl into the group two days ago. She's pretty. Tell me, what's the dirty deal?"

With nothing to do, the set manager was chatting with another assistant director. He sounded very pleased when talking about this group of extras.

Judging from their years of experience in the industry, it is difficult to manage people who are walk-ons.

Lazy guys and hobs have a lot of meat, they don't listen to discipline, and some of them have bad tempers and dare to hit people.

Since the Screen Actors Guild was formed, this has become much less common.

What is more obvious is that young people with relatively high cultural quality can often be seen in group performances. After asking, I found out that some were high school students and some were college students.

They all came here to pursue their dreams after hearing that the acting industry makes money.

As industry veterans, assistant directors are too embarrassed to dampen their enthusiasm. Actors make money, but you also have to look at what kind of actor they are.

The life of most actors is very tight, no better than that of migrant workers on construction sites, and those who make money are just a handful of people.

Acting as an extra now earns 30 yuan a day, and you are lucky to be able to live for more than ten days a month. With this little money, apart from the rent, it is difficult to support yourself. It is not as much as earning money from serving dishes and washing dishes in a restaurant.

For young people who are not beautiful, have no background and resources, and are not willing to take risks, they are really not suitable for this industry.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you are pretty and have no background. As long as you are willing to go out and don't dare to speak out, it is not difficult to make some money.

Ding Xiu, who was eating sugar oranges, saw the extras busy and Zhao Liying who was bored. He thought of something and turned to the assistant director: "Director Wang, can I trouble you?"

Jogging forward a few steps, the assistant director smiled and said, "Brother Xiu, if you need anything, just ask."

He would not really regard himself as the director just because Ding Xiu called him Director Wang.

There is still a big gap between assistant directors and executive directors. There can be seven or eight assistant directors in a crew, each performing their own duties and being responsible for different things.

He is responsible for the extras, how many extras are needed for each scene, how many men and women, height, short, fat, thin, etc.

Although the job is not big, it is not easy to do it either. For close-up shots, you need to choose something that is beautiful and eye-catching, but not too recognizable.

In order to meet the director's requirements, he basically sat in front of the Screen Actors Guild during the day.

Ding Xiu is a big shot and he can't afford to offend someone. If someone yells casually without even leaving his chair, he will run over and wait.

"I can't talk about it, I want to ask you for a favor." Ding Xiu smiled and pointed at Zhao Liying who was playing on her mobile phone, and said: "My little sister is very interested in acting. I wonder if I can arrange a role for her to experience. .”

The assistant director's face froze, while Zhao Liying slowly opened her mouth, dumbfounded.

"Brother Xiu, I can't make the decision on this. The roles are all decided in advance. There's no point in asking me."

The assistant director complained.

In a crew, as long as there are named roles, there is no temporary recruitment. They are all decided in advance, and many of them are from related parties.

Some are relatives of the assistant director, some are the goddaughter of the casting director, and some are recommended by the director's friends.

It’s hard to move any of them anyway.

If Ding Xiu had told him in advance, he might still be able to operate it. Where could he get it at this time?

"It's okay. She's just curious and wants to have fun. She can play a palace maid or something, just show her face."

"This is simple. I'll do it right away."

The palace maid is an ensemble cast, so it shouldn't be too simple for him, just replace someone at random.

"sorry to bother you."

"No trouble, just a word."

The assistant director has never thought about his love for Ding Xiu. He knows that when the film is completed, he will not have many interactions with Ding Xiu in this life.

Big names like Ding Xiu rarely pay attention to him.

If something really comes to your door, who knows you?

The reason why I helped was just because it was a small matter, and because I didn't want to offend Ding Xiu.

For big shots like them, success may not be enough, but it is very easy to ruin things. They go back to the director to say bad things about themselves, or find fault with themselves. In order to appease the other party's anger, they know that Director Zhanli will also fire him.

"Brother Xiu, I don't want to act."

The assistant director left and Zhao Liying said confused.

Ding Xiudao: "You don't know if you miss me or not? Look at the way you stare at the studio every day. I'm in a good mood today. I want you to experience what it's like to be an actor. You know where the dressing room is and you can go and have fun."

"Brother Xiu, but I can't act."

"There are no lines or facial expressions. There is no need to act, just follow the camera."

"I still want to give you..."

"Go ahead, I'm out of business for the time being and I don't need you."

After sending Zhao Liying away, Ding Xiu took out his cell phone, looked at the missed call from Liu Yifei, dialed it and called it.

"Hey, Xixi, there was an outsider just now, so it's not convenient to answer the phone. If you have anything to say, your mother is here too. Good evening, Sister Li. What do you want to eat..."

Zhao Liying is now a little spy. She will tip off Gao Yuanyuan and Qin Lan when she has nothing to do, and even if he doesn't get her away, he will even make a phone call secretly.

No one is watching, so it feels really comfortable.

On the other side, on the set, Zhao Liying, dressed in palace maid costume and makeup, was quietly waiting for the director's arrangements.

Looking at the camera next to her, her heart was beating fast and it felt a bit unreal.

In the past, she would stand on the sidelines and watch Ding Xiu act, but now she was standing in the middle of the field, with others watching her act. This feeling was hard to describe, a little excited, a little nervous, a little happy, and a little scared.

"The actors are in their places."

"The palace maids stand in two rows as taught before. The one at the back, Xiao Zhao, stands in front."

"The positioning is very simple, just follow a straight line and go to the corner."

Because of Ding Xiu's relationship, Zhao Liying was called to the front and became the first palace maid standing in the front row. From this angle, she was facing the camera lens, so she had many opportunities to appear.

Her palms were all sweaty. After secretly taking a deep breath, she gritted her teeth and tried to appear calm.
