This actor needs more money

Liu Tao is not a first-line artist, and the news of his marriage was only buzzing for a few days before it died down in the entertainment industry.

There is no memory in the Internet age. Generally, no one cares about the popularity of a thing after three or five days.

As the new year is getting closer and closer, the broadcast of Shinhwa has also come to an end. The ratings are getting higher day by day. The modern and ancient lines go hand in hand, and the hole dug at the beginning is gradually filled.

For example, Yi Dachuan's netizen, the thousand-year-old demon, is Yi Xiaochuan. Every ancient relic they discover is Yi Xiaochuan's footprints.

In ancient times, the high official who wanted to climb to the highest level step by step became Zhao Gao, who had differences with Yi Xiaochuan's ideas. The two became rivals and fought to the death.

The overlord Xiang Yu committed suicide in Wujiang, shouting the words "Even if I die, I am still the overlord."

Yi Xiaochuan participated in history, but did not block history. He could only watch the wheels of the times rolling forward unstoppably.

For this ruthless and unforgettable era, the only thing he cares about is Princess Yushu.

Unfortunately, the only person he cared about was also imprisoned in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. Fortunately, Yu Shu took the elixir of life and became immortal.

In order to open the imperial mausoleum, Yi Xiaochuan began a thousand-year plan.

In the finale of the TV series, the beautiful mythical ending song played. Yi Dachuan and Gao Lan watched the mythical movie. Outside on the street, the gray-haired Yi Xiaochuan looked at the heroine Jin Xishan on the poster and said, you are not as beautiful as her. .

"Oh, I finished watching the fifty episodes, so fast."

"I don't know if you have noticed that none of the characters in the ancient line seem to have a good ending. They are all regrets. Xiang Yu, Yu Ji, Lu Su, Lu Pheasant, Liu Bang, Gao Yao, Xiaochuan, Princess Yushu, Qin Shihuang, every one of them They haven’t even fulfilled their original intention.”

"The modern line is a little better. Xiaochuan's parents have achieved success step by step and fulfilled their wishes. Their son Yi Dachuan has found his love, and Gao Lan finally knows who he likes."

"I didn't expect it to end like this. Ogawa's words about you not being as beautiful as her made me feel sad and helpless."

"Two dramas, the same ending, in the end, love cannot be achieved."

"The screenwriter is great. The TV series version of the myth is indeed much better than the movie version. Many characters and stories are clearly explained and not so rushed. At the same time, the happy ending is retained. The ending of this drama should be regrettable... …”

"This is much better than "Seeking Qin Ji". Although they both travel through the Qin Dynasty, the endings of the two dramas are different. The ending of "Seeking Qin Ji" is too beautiful and ideal, and the myth is cruel. At the same time, Xiang Shaolong has too few enemies, and his imagination is not as good as that of the myth. So wide open.”

"The brothers above are too biased. Shinhwa was created on the shoulders of Xun Qin Ji, so it will naturally avoid many bad points. Both dramas are good dramas and should not be compared."

The TV series version of the myth is better than the movie version. This is what the audience thinks after watching it.

First of all, the characters are relatively full-bodied. Due to the length of the movie version, the audience only remembers Princess Yushu and Meng Yi, but has little impression of other characters.

After watching the TV series version, Lu Su is persistent in love, Cui Wenzi is compassionate, the heroic overlord Xiang Yu, loyal Meng Tian, ​​Yi Xiaochuan lives a miserable life, Yu Shu waits for thousands of years for love, and is willing to give up for the one he likes. All Yu Ji, Gao Yao who is not understood by others...

All the characters have flesh and blood, and maybe each of them has a different standpoint, but there is nothing wrong with it from their perspective.

The righteous have decent ideas, and the villains have the persistence of villains. Everyone is different.

Villains also have their own charm.

Some viewers compare Shinhwa to Xun Qin Ji and feel that Shinhwa is better than Xun Qin Ji. In fact, the two dramas are not comparable at all.

TVB is famous for its shoddy production, and the filming period was relatively long ago. The special effects, props, and costumes back then were not as good as they are now. The ability to attract audiences depends entirely on the acting skills of the actors and the script.

Shinhwa's investment is huge, the crew is willing to spend money, the script is even more polished, and the persuasiveness is top-notch, so it's normal that the overall effect should be better.

In the finale of the TV series, the two myths complement each other. In the cinema, the myths of Cheng Long and Jin Xishan are shown. Outside, Yi Xiaochuan plays his own myth. It is a play within a play and can be regarded as a tribute to the movie version.

It's just that the last sentence about "you're not as beautiful as her" is a prank by the screenwriter or intentional, I don't know.

…

Qin Chao Entertainment.

Ding Xiu came to work for the first time after completing his career as a master.

Wearing a black woolen coat and a scarf that Gao Yuanyuan helped put on before going out, his hair was a bit long because he hadn't had a haircut for a long time. It was casually hanging in front of his forehead. He put his hands in his pockets and looked very handsome.

"Hello brother Xiu."

"Hello brother Xiu."

"You are Xiaoli? I haven't seen you for a while. You have grown up."

"Brother Xiu, I am Xiao Zhang. Xiao Li resigned last month."

"Really."

Along the way, Ding Xiu obviously found that the company had many more employees than last year. It used to be a small team of more than a dozen people, but now it is a large company with hundreds of people.

Each department has a clear division of labor, and everyone has their own things to be busy with.

When Ding Xiu came to his office, he turned on his computer and sat down while Zhao Liying made tea for him.

After looking at the document, I saw that I hadn’t written my autobiography for a long time. It was only 10,000 to 20,000 words after all this time. Ding Xiu understood a little bit about those novel authors. It was indeed not easy.

Typing on the keyboard and drinking tea, Ding Xiu began his creative career. The story has already begun, and there is no reason to stop. He uses Gulong-style writing. All characters appear out of thin air, and he rarely explains his growth experience and specific teachers. door background.

After intercepting and killing the lone Jin Yiwei, the master gave the tuberculosis ghost junior brother Jin Yichuan the opportunity to come ashore again with a new look.

Here, Ding Xiu gave the actor Ding Xiu a look of relief.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk!"

An hour later, there was a knock on the door. Ding Xiu said without raising his head, "Come in!"

Qin Gang's assistant came in and said, "Brother Xiu, the meeting is over. Mr. Qin invites you to his office for tea."

"I know, I'll be there in a minute."

For the first time, Ding Xiu learned that coding can be addictive. After entering the "working" state, he was immersed in the story of the novel and did not want to be disturbed.

The new beautiful assistant has never seen such a scene, and the big boss doesn't give him any face. She really can't understand Ding Xiu.

This is the first time I heard that artists ask their bosses to wait.

"Brother Xiu, why don't you go there first? Mr. Qin is still waiting."

Ding Xiu raised his eyebrows and looked up at his assistant for the first time. She was in her early twenties, probably a recent college graduate. She was very pretty, but it didn't stop her from looking very green after putting on a suit.

Bearing a weight that should not be borne at this age.

Zhao Liying stood up, pulled her assistant out, and said, "Brother Xiu will come over when he finishes his work. I'll go over and say something to Mr. Qin."

An hour after Zhao Liying left, Qin Gang came over with a teacup and said with a smile: "The new assistant is not sensible. I have already severely criticized her."

Ding Xiu looked away from the computer, took a sip of tea, and said, "It's not a big deal for me. Tell me, why are you looking for me?"

After only criticizing for an hour, Lao Qin is not good at fighting.

In this hour, maybe dozens of minutes are spent getting dressed and undressed.

Pulling up a chair and sitting across from Ding Xiu, Qin Gang put down the tea cup, crossed his fingers and said, "Do you remember the Legend of Sword and Fairy?"

Ding Xiu pouted: "I'm only twenty-seven, twenty-eight at the end of the year. I usually practice martial arts, so I won't have bad kidneys and memory loss due to frequent night shifts."

The corners of Qin Gang's mouth twitched. Is this saying that his kidneys are not good?

"After the success of Fairy Sword, Sugar Man started working on a sequel. After several years of script polishing, they came up with Fairy Sword III. As usual, you will star in it. In addition, our company will provide some money and we will cooperate together."

"That's a good thing." Ding Xiu crossed his legs and said, "Is the heroine still Liu Yifei?"

"No, this time they want to praise their own person, a girl named Liu Sisi. There is also an investment company that is also filling in people and wants their person to play the female lead."

"Hey, it's quite lively. Don't you want to recruit people from our company to fight for the female lead?"

Qin Gang didn't shy away from it at all and said seriously: "Who wouldn't want to? It's a big IP, it has market certification, and with you as the protagonist, it's a clear opportunity to make money. It's also a good opportunity to win people over, and no one is willing to miss it."

The entertainment field is different from other industries. Other industries may require a step-by-step climb, time, qualifications, and skills.

The actor industry is a bit special. Maybe a good drama can win out an actor, saving ten years of struggle.

It's really a step-by-step process, from extras to special guests to supporting roles to supporting roles to leading roles. I don't know if it will take a year of the monkey to become popular, or when I wait for it to become popular, I will have to pay all the five insurances and one housing fund.

Don't miss it if you can catch the character. A good drama can save ten years of hard work. This is no joke.

This time, Fairy Sword has a large cast and a lot of investment. Judging from the current market conditions, making money is almost a sure thing. The male lead, Ding Xiu, will be the one to take the lead, and whoever plays the female role will be popular.

Ding Xiu asked: "How much money does our company invest?"

"It is expected to shoot forty episodes, with a total investment of 40 million, and our company will provide 10 million."

The total investment of 40 million is several times more than the production cost of Fairy Sword One, but Qin Chao Entertainment’s investment is similar to that of the past, and Ding Xiu is still the male lead.

This has to be attributed to his popularity.

Back then they were the ones begging for help, but now they are the ones begging them to be the male lead.

Ding Xiu: "You won't include my salary, right?"

"Of course, it's impossible." Qin Gang said: "How much you are now, we will lose money if you add it. Your salary is 8 million."

"Okay, I have a head start."

Forty episodes, 8 million, with an average of 200,000 per episode, almost double that of last year. This should be due to the popularity of Shi Huang and Shinhwa.

That's the best thing about being an actor. As long as you are popular enough and have works, the producers will always try their best to meet your requirements when it comes to remuneration.

Of course, there are also reasons why the market is getting better and better. Not only Ding Xiu, everyone's salary is also rising.

A few years ago, when Zhao Wei filmed "Beijing Yanyun", 100,000 per episode was already the ceiling. Now there are dozens of actors in the field of TV dramas who can exceed 100,000 per episode.

However, there are not many people with an episode of 200,000 yuan, just a handful. It just so happens that Ding Xiu himself is one of them.

"Who are you going to cast as the female lead?"

Qin Gang hesitated for two seconds and said, "Yang Mi."

Worried that Ding Xiu was too preoccupied, he explained: "I originally wanted to find Xiaolan, but she didn't have the schedule and didn't want to come."

Ding Xiu frowned: "Really don't want to?"

Qin Gang smiled bitterly: "She now has her own channels for accepting movies. She plays three or four movies a year. She is planning to go to the big screen recently. The company can't control her."

Yes, I can't control it.

Qin Lan is the number one sister in the company, and she is also very popular. She has endless filming opportunities, and she may not be able to come to the company even once a year.

If he didn't have shares in the company, or if Ding Xiu was here, it wouldn't be surprising if Qin Lan switched jobs to Qin Gang one day.

But now her situation is similar to job-hopping, and she is following the instructions but not the announcements.

Just because she has shares, she is one of the shareholders, and she is very popular, no one can control her.

You can take whatever role you want, and you can't do it if you don't want to do it. There's no room for negotiation.

It's unrealistic for her to hide it. After all, she holds a lot of shares, and she is still a shareholder. If there is a trouble, she can afford to pay liquidated damages, and she doesn't care about the money at all.

We have known each other for so many years, and we are all friends, so there is no need to fall out, not to mention that Ding Xiu still has face.

Qin Gang was in a dilemma, so he simply ignored Qin Lan and allowed her to develop on her own.

"Let her go." Ding Xiu just thought for a few seconds before saying this.

Qin Gang nodded. He thought so too. Without talking about this topic, he continued: "Currently, there are only three families competing for the female lead, Sugar Man, our Qin Dynasty, and Chengtian Entertainment."

"The advantage of Sugar Man is that they are the producer and have a strong say as the banker. The advantage of Chengtian Entertainment is that they contribute the most money, have abundant funds, and are willing to take less shares for the female lead."

"The only advantage we have here is you. They all want you to play the leading male role and ask you to help lead their people."

Whether it is All Day Entertainment, Sugar Man Movies, or Qin Chao Entertainment, the women of the Three Fortresses are all "newcomers."

Casting these people alone to play the heroine may not necessarily make them popular, but it's different if they are paired with Ding Xiu.

This is also the reason why many artists would rather cut their own remuneration and act in plays of great directors and work with great actors without any remuneration.

Qin Gang leaned forward and said seriously: "So, I need you to tell me something. Only your attitude can make them retreat. When I negotiate with others, I will say that you mean that Yang Mi must play the female lead, otherwise you won't play."

It is related to Ding Xiu's interests. This matter can only be completed with Ding Xiu's consent, because there are risks. If someone doesn't play according to the routine, it would be better to just do it. Then he won't even want you. Wouldn't it be a waste?

In addition, in private, Sugar Man will definitely call Ding Xiu to confirm and ask what he means. If he doesn't collude, he will offend people on both sides.

"Praising Yang Mi is the company's business and has nothing to do with you. I can't help but drag you down. If you don't agree with me, I respect your opinion. You can continue to act as your male lead. I will find another way to deal with Yang Mi."

Ding Xiu picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "You have forgotten that I am a shareholder of the company and have a position in the company. I am also responsible for supporting new people. I will do as you say."

Qin Gang felt relieved and said with a smile: "Thank you, brother Xiu. We are still reliable old brothers. Let's have a few drinks together in the evening."

"Okay, no problem."

"I'll let you know the place I've decided. Let's go negotiate now. See you later."

"Just take it easy. If it doesn't work, forget it. If my eight million is gone, I don't care whether you have to compensate me before or after the sale."

At the door, Qin Gang staggered and almost fell down when he heard this.

Still the familiar Ding Xiu.
