This actor needs more money

one two three four five six seven……

Ding Xiu knew that there were such actors in the circle, and there were quite a few of them, including now household names, who had done this kind of thing before.

The more representative ones are those from Hong Kong Island. From the top to the kings, to the lowliest, they all have recited numbers.

But sometimes people are forced by circumstances and have no choice.

For example, when Zhao Wenzhuo filmed Fa Hai, the sounds of the mighty dragon and the great Luo spell were all dubbed in post-production. When filming on location, they were one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

The reason is that Zhao Wenzhuo did not have any lines when filming, and the producer was tight on time, so he had to shoot the scenes first and dub the lines later.

Many Hong Kong stars used to read numbers in a similar situation. In the early years, they wrote their lines in real time. If the actors couldn't pass the lines, it mainly depended on whether the screenwriter could write them quickly enough.

The screenwriter writes quickly and the actors have time to memorize the lines, so they can come out with the lines.

The screenwriter didn't write fast enough, so the actors had no choice but to use one, two, three, four to make up the numbers. There wasn't even a plot, so they improvised the plot themselves.

The problem is that in the Mainland, there are no random situations, and there are no screenwriters who write lines on the fly.

Not to mention that the director didn't agree, the General Administration of Optoelectronics would not be able to pass the test.

Your script must be reviewed and filed before filming begins. If you don’t even have a script, you won’t be able to get a filming permit at all.

Huo Jianhua got the script before starting the filming. It was a bit too much to not be able to write down the lines after so long.

What was even more outrageous was that he rounded up the numbers in front of Ding Xiu.

After Huo Jianhua finished reading, Ding Xiu said nothing and just looked at him.

Knowing that Ding Xiu was good at martial arts and had a high status, Huo Jianhua couldn't afford to offend him, so he didn't dare to talk to him and could only turn his attention to the director.

Ding Xiu also followed his gaze.

If a film is not well produced, the actors are responsible, and the director is also responsible. Sometimes the director is even more responsible than the actors.

It's like a construction site, if the quality is not good, can you blame the people who carry cement, lay bricks, and tie steel bars?

Foremen, supervisors, general managers, and inspection personnel are more problematic, right?

The same goes for the crew. Everything on set is controlled by the director. If the actors don't perform well, you have every right to ask NG to do it again until the filming is good.

Sensing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, the people at the scene were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. People like Liu Sisi, Tang Yan, and Yang Mi were even more silent. This is not the time to be good people.

He would rush to act as a peacemaker, fearing that he might offend someone. Didn’t you see that Ding Xiu’s face turned dark?

Li Guoli walked out of the director's studio and came to Ding Xiu. He smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Hua got the script in a short time and is not familiar with it yet. There are many old stories in these scenes. We are short on time and have heavy tasks...Brother Xiu, Do you understand?"

The role of Xu Changqing was not originally cast by Huo Jianhua, but several people were changed in the process. Huo Jianhua was cast not long before the press conference.

Not long after I got the script, I received the notification to start filming. Huo Jianhua hurriedly rushed, but it was still a little too late.

In addition, Wanwan's accent is too strong and his Mandarin is not standard. These scenes are indeed a big challenge for him.

In order not to affect the filming progress, Li Guoli asked Ding Xiu to read the numbers while he was going to the toilet, and then added them to the dubbing later.

Because he was in a hurry, he forgot to communicate with Ding Xiu, and this was the scene that happened just now.

Ding Xiu nodded: "I understand, I understand."

No wonder the other party dared to read the numbers. It turned out to be the director's instruction. No wonder.

"Thank you, Brother Xiu, for understanding. Let's continue filming." After talking to Ding Xiu, Li Guoli said to Huo Jianhua with sympathetic eyes: "Let's start."

"good."

Huo Jianhua said bitterly.

The camera continued the scene just now. This time, it was Ding Xiu's turn to speak.

Ding Xiu hurriedly ran to Xu Changqing's side, and said happily: "Baitoufu, you are one, two, three, four, five, seven, eight, ninety, hook, knot, Kaicha..."

"Pfft!"

Liu Sisi, who was watching the show, couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Tang Yan and Yang Mi didn't laugh out loud, but their faces turned red and their shoulders hunched, trying not to laugh.

I originally thought that one, two, three, four, and five was outrageous enough, but I didn't expect Ding Xiu to be even more outrageous. He even made hooks, knots, and crosses. Is this a royal flush?

It just so happens that he is still in the play. If he ignores his lines, anyone who watches it will have to praise his acting skills.

Every one of the staff raised their lips, but they didn't dare to smile because of work and the director.

Only Zhao Liying pursed her lips and said nothing.

She knew that Ding Xiu was angry.

Opposite Ding Xiu, it was Huo Jianhua's turn to be confused. He was stunned for several seconds before looking towards the director's studio in aggrieved manner.

No matter how stupid he is, he can tell that Ding Xiu is unhappy.

If he goes on to say, "Little devil, big king," I'm afraid Ding Xiu will beat him to death.

Li Guoli came over, Ding Xiu shrugged and said calmly: "Sorry, Director Li, I'm also pressed for time, and I don't remember the lines very well. Our crew has tight schedules and heavy tasks. You should understand me, right?"

What the hell, after so many years of filming, this was the first time he encountered round numbers.

When he first debuted, no one would dare to do this because of his talent.

Each line has its own game rules. Now that you are in the game, you must act according to the rules of the game. You can break the rules if you want, as long as you have the ability.

If you bring money to join the cast, and you are the biological father of the investor's father, the crew will do whatever you want, no one will say a word, and the director will even bring you tea when you get tired.

But Huo Jianhua obviously doesn't have the ability to break the rules, especially since there is Ding Xiu in the game who doesn't like not to follow the rules.

You recite numbers and I recite lines, so who am I?

There are so many juniors watching next to you, what do you think? Who will recite the lyrics in the future?

"Brother Xiu, I'm sorry." Li Guoli didn't walk very fast. He thought a lot in his mind in just a few steps. He sighed and apologized when he came to him.

Ding Xiu said coldly: "I am one of the investors. I can accept your apology, but I don't want to hear it a second time."

If he is just an actor, he has no qualifications to tell the director what to do. He just needs to do his job well and not care about anything else.

But who made Qin Chao Entertainment one of the investors? It was the financier’s father.

Qin Gang is also one of the producers of this drama.

As the boss of the company, Ding Xiu has the obligation and responsibility to supervise the crew. If something like this happens now, it is simply because the director did not act, so he deserves this apology.

Facing the murderous Ding Xiu, Li Guoli didn't dare to breathe, for fear of being fired in the next second: "Don't worry, brother Xiu, it won't happen anymore. Today is a special situation."

"Then that's it for today. When you memorize the words, you can notify me to come over."

After Ding Xiu finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Li Guoli to say anything.

No one at the scene dared to stay.

Looking at his back, Li Guoli was helpless and turned to look at Huo Jianhua. Huo Jianhua also looked at him, saying that he was also innocent.

After taking off his makeup, Ding Xiu got into the car and was about to go back to the hotel. Zhao Liying trotted to the car window and said, "Brother Xiu, you go first. I'll come over after I finish what I'm doing."

Ding Xiu stared at her. Since Zhao Liying didn't go back with him in the car last time, she never took his car again. There were things happening every day, and there were various reasons.

"If you are afraid of gossip from the crew, there is absolutely no need. The experience of people who have been there tells you that no matter how good you are, people who don't like you will not look down upon you."

"Besides, in the entertainment industry, the last thing you should care about is the eyes of others. With everyone's mouth open, can you make everyone like you?"

"If someone misunderstands you once, you have to explain it once or use actions to prove your innocence. Then you are destined to be busy."

"Get in the car and go back to get some midnight snacks."

"Oh." With a pout, Zhao Liying opened the car door and got in.

She was indeed scared by the gossip from the crew. Although she knew what others said was wrong, it was difficult for her to pretend that she didn't know anything.

So I try not to stay with Ding Xiu these days.

Unexpectedly, Ding Xiu, a busy man, noticed something was wrong with her and went out of his way to comfort her.

"Thank you Brother Xiu, I figured it out."

After opening a bottle of red wine, Ding Xiu filled a glass for himself, swung the glass and glanced at her: "What have you figured out?"

"If others misunderstand me, I shouldn't care about what they think. Only those who are clean will be free from explanations."

"Misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding? I'm not wrong. You used the back door to begin with."

Zhao Liying: "..."

My mood, which was feeling better just now, has hit rock bottom again.

When these words came out of Ding Xiu's mouth, they were even more damaging to her. For a moment, her eyes were filled with mist, and she was about to cry.

"Am I wrong?"

Zhao Liying lowered her head, wiped the corners of her eyes, and choked out: "Yes."

Ding Xiu took a sip of wine and said, "Then why are you crying?"

"I……"

Why are you crying? Why are you crying? Zhao Liying wanted to take off her shoes and step on Ding Xiu's face.

You stabbed me in the heart, and you asked me if it hurt, right?

"With connections, it's not a shame to go through the back door." Ding Xiu said calmly: "How many people in the entertainment industry are serious and successful step by step?"

“Every time when casting, if you can use your connections, use your connections, and if you can use your favors, use your favors. If you can’t use favors, just give them red envelopes, promise benefits, or open a room to chat with the director about your deep understanding of the character. .”

"You have resources and connections, which many people want and don't have. It's better for you. You're ashamed, right?"

"Believe it or not, if we exchanged places, those people would be more arrogant than you. Yang Mi had to pull out four teeth in order to enter the Dream of Red Mansions, but they still didn't want them. She almost didn't kowtow to Li Shaohong."

"This time she was able to win the first female position. Lao Qin worked hard, negotiated every day, and made a lot of sacrifices."

Ding Xiu sneered and said, "On her own, she would just kneel down at the door of someone's production house and smash her head, and they would ignore her."

"Let's talk about Liu Sisi and Tang Yan. One is a producer and the other is just an investor. It is not easy for them to join the team. Ask them both, if there is a shortcut, would they take it?"

"It's a good thing to rely on your own strength to obtain resources, but when your strength is not enough, you should rely on relationships. There is nothing shameful in this."

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Liying looked up and said firmly: "Thank you, Brother Xiu, I understand."

Seeing that she really listened, Ding Xiu stopped trying to persuade her and drank alone.

…

Ever since he provoked Ding Xiu last time, Huo Jianhua had a shadow in his heart, not just him, but everyone on the crew.

After all, directors have to be trained in front of him.

Those of them who usually receive training from the director can imagine how they feel.

After this incident, everyone understood who was the boss in the crew. Even though Ding Xiu was amiable every day, the director was treated like a grandson when he got angry.

On this day, Ding Xiu was waiting to play on his mobile phone, and Fan Binbin chatted with him privately on QQ.

"Brother Xiu, Dagua, Sister Hua changed jobs and established a new company called Shijiu Culture."

"real or fake?"

"Can the words I say be false? Although I haven't officially notified you yet, there will be one in a few days."

"How many people were taken away this time?"

Wang Jinhua, the number one agent in the entertainment industry, has a lot of great men under his command. It would be considered good if someone else has a best actor and actress to support the scene, but his best actor and actress are highly recommended.

Who can reach the level of a movie king and movie queen without some connections and resources? When Wang Jinhua brings them together, you can imagine how powerful the energy is.

The last time she changed jobs, Wang Jinhua poached half of Huayi, which almost made Huayi breathless. The boss was forced to sell his house.

The entertainment all day long cannot be compared to Huayi. If Wang Jinhua leaves, she will probably die or be disabled.

"Not many were taken away." Fan Binbin's words were beyond Ding Xiu's expectation: "It's been less than three years since they joined Chengcheng, and their contract has not expired. If they want to be terminated by force, they can't afford to pay so much, but those few are not short of money." The heart leaves.”

"Sister Hua also poached a relatively promising newcomer who has the potential to become popular."

"In addition, because of this incident, several leading artists there have terminated their contracts. These people did not follow Sister Hua, but set up their own studios to work alone."

Hearing this, Ding Xiu knew that Chengtian was falling apart.

This time, the fall was harder than Hua Yi's back then.

The pillars will follow Wang Jinhua, those with potential in the middle level will also be tapped, and those with the ability will have to work alone, and the rest may be just three melons and two dates.

"What is the nature of the company that Sister Hua founded this time? Is it a brokerage company?"

"It can be considered a comprehensive category. Brokerage is one of them, and there are also film and television investments and production."

Ding Xiu's eyes lit up: "When will the ribbon-cutting be held, I will free up my schedule. Sister Hua has been kind to me, so I will send a flower basket to whatever I say."

Fan Binbin rolled his eyes. He was too embarrassed to expose Ding Xiu. Wang Jinhua was so kind to him that they couldn't get along with each other. On the contrary, Wang Jinhua tried to poach him several times but couldn't get him.

Ding Xiu saw that this person's business was vast, so he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity and establish a good relationship in advance.

Too snobbish.

"I don't know when it will open. I'll ask later and let you know then. Let's go together."

"Okay, when you get to Peking, I'll treat you to chicken."

"Are you serious?"

"You guys from Quanjude are serious or not."

Wearing makeup, Tang Yan walked past Ding Xiu and accidentally glanced at his mobile phone. When he saw the chat history that Wang Jinhua was about to leave, his eyelids twitched.

I knew I was leaving, but I didn’t expect so many people to leave.

Hearing the paused footsteps behind him, Ding Xiu turned around and found that it was Tang Yan. Following her line of sight, he saw it was his cell phone.

"Your company is going to be in trouble."
