This actor needs more money

"Brother Xiu, Brother Baoqiang, here."

In the front row of the cinema, Yang Mi, wearing a long white dress and a pearl necklace around her neck, stood up and waved to greet Ding Xiu and Wang Baoqiang.

Unlike her who was so careless, Yang Siwei didn't say anything, but she also stood up.

Huang Bo is a veteran of the company and is friends with Ding Xiu and Qin Gang. For his movie premiere, Yang Mi has to make time even if she doesn't have time.

After winning the title of Si Xiaohuadan, she had many film and variety show invitations. She had an event today, so she took time off to come here.

In contrast, Qin Lan, the first lady in the company, did not have such thoughts. She had other work today and did not come.

As for Yang Siwei, she came because Huang Bo was an artist under her. As Huang Bo's first movie as the male lead, Bullfight had to come to witness and support.

Qin Gang was originally going to come, but the company had an impromptu meeting, so he asked Yang Siwei to send a message that he couldn't come and would invite everyone to dinner later.

Raising his hand and glancing at his watch, Ding Xiu found that the premiere would not start in twenty minutes.

"Are you here early enough?"

"Oh, I'm so looking forward to Bo Ge's new movie. I didn't sleep last night. I went out early this morning just to watch it early."

"When did you become so eloquent?"

Listening to Ding Xiu's joke, Yang Siwei smiled and said, "Mimi didn't lie this time. We did go out early in the morning."

Early in the morning, Yang Mi invited her to go shopping, eat, drink milk tea, and slowly come here.

"Hello brother Xiu."

In the second row, Tang Yan leaned his chin on the back of the seat and greeted Ding Xiu with a smile.

"Hello brother Xiu."

Next to her is company artist Yuan Shanshan.

How did these two people get together? Ding Xiu raised his eyebrows, then calmed down and smiled slightly: "It's you guys, long time no see. Let's have a drink later."

Tang Yan said: "Okay, no problem, I just haven't eaten yet."

At the entrance of the cinema, Huang Bo and Yan Ni walked in chatting and laughing, and they came straight towards Ding Xiu.

The staff brought drinks and snacks, and Ding Xiu got a bucket of popcorn and chatted while eating.

As we chatted, Yan Ni said: "Huang Bo originally approached me for this drama, and I agreed to be a guest star for three days, but I didn't finish filming in a month."

"The weather was over 20 degrees below zero. In the mountains, I almost froze to death. If Bo'er comes to me again in the future, I won't go."

Huang Bo quickly handed over his hands and apologized: "Blame me, blame me, I will punish myself with three drinks in a while."

This drama is about a male protagonist, 80% of the scenes are on him, and the female protagonist is just a supplement.

When choosing the heroine, the director was very worried. He wanted to find a middle-aged actress with good acting skills, a rural temperament, and a certain reputation, preferably one who could speak dialects.

I searched around and couldn't find it.

It’s not that there aren’t suitable ones, there are many.

The most indispensable thing in the entertainment industry is actors, and there are many who meet the above conditions.

But when people read the script, they were not very happy to star in it.

The heroine has too few roles. If she is the heroine, she is just like a supporting character. Who would want to play it?

Not to mention that the role was not outstanding and the pay was low, so it would be better for them to play the role with Huang Bo, an actor with a low reputation, so that they could lower themselves.

Seeing that no one was willing to act, Huang Bo finally had to find someone to act for him, so he thought of Yan Ni.

After being fooled by him, Yan Ni agreed to star in bullfighting.

Of course, if you say it's a lie, you still have to be sincere to impress. After all, no one is a fool.

The reason why Yan Ni appeared was not only because of Huang Bo's repeated invitations, but also because she wanted to transform.

It was too late for her to become famous.

In 2005, word spread outside the martial arts community that she was very talented. For several decades, she had been playing a part-time role.

But when the news about Wulin came out, she was already thirty-five years old, and there were very few TV series on the market that focused on middle-aged women.

So even if Wulin Gaiden becomes popular and she becomes popular, there are still not many scripts for female leads.

After hanging out for a few more years, seeing that she was getting older and had no choice, she decided to change her career and try her hand in the film industry.

Only in the film industry will there be a place for middle-aged actresses.

So after Huang Bo invited her, after much thought, she decided to star in bullfighting, intending to use this drama to open the door to the film industry.

She is old and has limited popularity. It is unrealistic to play the leading female role in a big production. She has to start over. It would be good to have a leading female role from the beginning.

Even if this character's role is a little less.

"Actually, I was also deceived by the director." Huang Bo complained: "The environment was promised to be beautiful, with green mountains and green waters, but after I went there, I was almost locked up with the cows every day."

"The crew has seven big cows, and I raise them all by myself. I take care of them every day."

"Yan Ni only stayed in the weather with temperatures over minus 20 degrees for a month. I stayed for a full four months. When I got home, my own mother didn't even recognize me. After hearing about my filming experience, they said that they didn't even join the team when I went to the countryside. So bitter..."

There is only one cow in the movie, but during filming, there were actually seven cows taking turns to shoot, each weighing more than a thousand pounds.

In order to ensure that the shooting goes smoothly, he must develop a good relationship with the seven cows and walk them to feed them every day.

By the time he finishes filming, he will almost become a professional cattle farmer.

Similarly, his scenes were all outdoors, and the weather was over 20 degrees below zero for four months, and people would almost freeze like a dog.

The conditions for the crew were difficult, and the food was hard to describe. There was no good food in the mountains, so all they ate every day was steamed buns and pickles.

The first person who couldn't stand it was Yan Ni. She often came back with boxes of snacks from outside for everyone to share.

Everyone who hadn't had anything to eat for a long time was almost hungry when they saw the snacks. In just a few seconds, when Yan Ni reacted, only the empty box was left moving in the wind.

"Oh, it's not easy." Wang Baoqiang sighed after hearing Huang Bo's experience.

He could understand Huang Bo. It was the same when he was filming blind shafts. There were drills everywhere in the coal mine, and lives were in danger.

But there is no way. The opportunity for the male protagonist is rare. If you want to get ahead, you have to fight hard. If you don't fight, others will fight. Opportunities can only be given to others.

It’s hard to imagine that, nine years after Huang Bo’s debut, this bullfight is his first work as the male lead. Before, he could only play a supporting role.

After nine years of sharpening a sword, how can you not fight?

Not to mention it's snowing in the mountains, even if it's a knife, I'm afraid he will do it.

"Look, these are real actors, please learn from them." Yang Siwei also did not forget to give lessons to Yang Mi, Yuan Shanshan, Tang Yan and others.

Zhao Liying didn't come today. I Am a Special Forces Soldier had just finished broadcasting. She was busy with commercial performances, performing acupoints, and making announcements. She was busy with work and couldn't take time off at all.

"Brother Bo and Sister Yan Ni will be my idols from now on. I want to learn from you."

Yuan Shanshan clenched her fists and said seriously.

Yang Mi rolled her eyes when she heard this.

She has known Yuan Shanshan for many years, and she knows her temper and character very well.

With her young lady temperament, it's amazing that she can film in weather that is more than 20 degrees below zero.

Moreover, actors like them are completely different from actors like Huang Boyanni. We all have different paths. We just need to learn their spirit, and there is no need to imitate their behavior.

"Low-key and low-key." Huang Bo pressed his hand down and said with a smile: "Actually, I envy you, especially Brother Xiu, who can kill people with just his face."

He has a handsome face and is dressed in ancient costumes. His ratings are high wherever he goes. Who wouldn’t envy him if he plays a popular role?

Wang Baoqiang was angry: "Brother Xiu, he is saying that you have no acting skills."

Ding Xiu shrugged: "As an actor, I haven't taken any acting class for a day. What kind of acting skills do I need?"

Huang Bo chuckled: "Then Baoqiang didn't go to school, how come he has acting skills?"

"Bao Qiang is a gifted person. He can't be compared to the geniuses who appear in the entertainment industry every 50 years." Yang Siwei said

When counting the actors born in the 1980s, Wang Baoqiang ranks among the top three for his acting skills.

This guy's acting is eclectic, natural, and his own. If you ask him to say he can't explain it, let him understand everything in his acting.

This is a seriously underrated actor.

Ding Xiu is different from Wang Baoqiang. He is originally an idol, and he mainly plays handsome and righteous characters.

If you ask him to play a rural boy or a wretched man, he won't be able to play the role, and the audience won't like it.

Huang Bo put away his smile: "I think Brother Xiu is too lazy and not serious. If he were serious about filming and specialized in the film industry, he would be the best actor by now."

Ding Xiu didn't care: "I'm not interested. How can a movie star have the happiness of making money?"

Huang Bo smiled and said nothing.

Others just thought they were joking, but in fact he was serious.

Ding Xiu's talent is really high. None of the three of them have taken professional acting classes. The three of them presented three different performance methods.

After all, he graduated from the dubbing department. When he was studying, he often went to the acting department to audit. He himself is more academic.

Wang Baoqiang is naturally gifted in acting and is very sensitive to roles, especially small characters, as if they are real. He can present the kindness, innocence, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy very well.

Ding Xiu is different from both of them.

Ding Xiu is not very sensitive to acting, and he usually reads few professional books.

But he is really comfortable playing certain roles.

For example, in costume dramas, those from the academy are inevitably a bit pretentious, while those from the Jianghu genre are not too dignified and act a bit gangster.

Ding Xiu is different. If Wang Baoqiang plays a minor character, then Ding Xiu plays an ancient costume.

For a while, Huang Bo carefully studied Ding Xiu's ancient costumes. The first thing is his deportment. He doesn't need to act. His eyes and smile are all ancient style.

For example, the pace, he walks in a square step.

Many people think that costume dramas can be performed just by putting on costumes. They are totally wrong. They don’t understand even the simplest steps.

There are generally two types of steps on the stage. One is the official step, which is dignified and solemn, reflecting authority and nobility.

Then there is the square step, which is flexible, free, and mainly stretching.

Don't underestimate just walking, the square step is not easy. Huang Bo once tried to imitate Ding Xiu's way of walking in a costume drama, but he couldn't learn it in a short time.

He also asked a teacher from Nortel about this method, and the teacher said that ordinary people should not even think about learning it in a short time.

In addition to being familiar with the square step, you also need to coordinate the swing of your arms and upper body.

Most people look completely different when they come out.

That is, those old and young students on the Peking Opera stage.

Teachers don’t recommend spending a lot of time learning this kind of footwork just for the sake of looking good in costume.

Because the cost is too high.

I'm not a professional costume shop, who shoots costume dramas every day?

In addition to his manners, posture, and footwork, Ding Xiu's ancient costume is also a distinctive feature of his speech speed and accent. Anyway, when he wears ancient clothes and sits there, he is definitely not a modern person.

Ding Xiu has never studied acting specifically, but Huang Bo can only achieve this because of his talent.

But Ding Xiu, who is so talented, is obsessed with making money and makes movies for money.

It's not that it's not a good idea to go out and hang out, it's just enough to make a living, it's not shabby.

But having been in the industry for so many years, I still have some artistic pursuits, such as making a movie that the audience will remember forever.

With Ding Xiu's resources, if he concentrates on making movies and makes good movies, his future achievements will be very high.

But this guy just doesn't want to die.

One pair, I just play it.

Huang Bo really wanted to hit him.

"The movie is about to start, please be quiet first."

Yang Siwei interrupted the conversation between Huang Bo and Ding Xiu.

They are both adults. It is not easy to change the other person's mind. If Ding Xiu was willing to follow the path of an old artist, he would have left long ago. There is no need for Huang Bo to say anything.

…

Bullfighting, when I saw the name, I thought it was a custom in your province.

But this movie is not about such a story.

At the beginning of the story, during the Anti-Japanese War, the war was raging and the earth was wailing. One day, the anti-Japanese base area received a donated cow, which was used to nurse the injured soldiers.

But because they had tasks and needed to be transferred, the comrades in the base area handed over the cattle to the people in the village to take care of them.

At first no one was willing to accept it, and they even selected the people who would raise the cattle by drawing red beans. The little widow Jiuer helped Niu Er draw lots, and eventually Niu Er became the unlucky guy.

One day, the Japs entered the village. After a brutal and bloody raid, all the villagers were killed. Only Niu Er and Dai Niu survived.

After the Japs left, another group of Japs troops passed by this place and regarded it as a place to rest temporarily and recuperate the wounded.

Niu Er, who shoulders the heavy responsibility of protecting cows, tries his best to fight the Japanese with wits and courage...

The director's camera language is used very well, and a few shots convey the inner sadness and despair of the protagonist Niu Er.

For example, after the Japanese raided the village, among the dead, Niu Er recognized his fiancée Jiu'er's hand at a glance. On her wrist was a silver bracelet passed down from his family.

In addition, her clothes were messy and her pants were stripped off.

For example, he risked his life to return to the village to save the cows. When he used a telescope to investigate the situation, he found something hanging on the flagpole. When he got closer, he discovered that it was the heads of his ancestors and the village chief...

Watching it all the way through, this movie is both funny and depressing.

At the end of the movie, Niu Er and the cow live in seclusion in the mountains together. Many years later, when comrades from the base passed by, Niu Er returned the cow to them with tears in his eyes.

They didn't ask for it, but gave the cow to Niu Er.

Before leaving, he helped Niu Er write the tomb of Niu Er. Due to a strong wind, the paper was blown into pieces and became the tomb of Er Niu, which was full of irony.

The theater lights come on.

Wang Baoqiang wiped his eyes and said, "Isn't it about bullfighting? Where are the bulls? Why don't they fight?"

Ding Xiu said solemnly: "Who the hell said this was a comedy."

This was his first time watching such a depressing movie.
