This actor needs more money

The first-day box office of The Grandmaster was very high, more than 20 million, which is twice the box office of bullfighting in one month. It was so terrifying that anyone who watched it had to gasp in the cinema.

Starting a few years ago, it is no longer a myth that the box office has exceeded 100 million. In the past few years, there have been an average of a dozen movies with over 100 million each year.

But over 100 million is still over 100 million, and the box office of 200 million has always been a hurdle.

Very few people can surpass that, and most movies make less than 200 million at the box office.

The Grandmaster's box office on the first day was 25 million. If nothing goes wrong, it will exceed 100 million in one week. It will not be a big problem to hit 100 million in the remaining three weeks.

Calculated, the box office of 200 million is still very stable. In addition, it is almost the end of the year, and the title of annual ticket sales cannot be lost.

On this day, Wang Jiawei also took a group of leading actors on tour, and now they are in Shanghai.

During the lunch break, the assistant came to him and whispered, "Ding Xiu said he has a cold and can't come. Do you think we should send a lawyer's letter to warn him?"

Actors are obligated to cooperate with the promotion, and they can be sued if they don't come.

Ding Xiu obviously didn't want to come. If Wang Jiawei sued him, Ding Xiu would have to pay compensation.

Of course, the total remuneration was only two million, but since we didn’t promote it, we wouldn’t be able to pay much in compensation.

But this is not about money, it is about face.

"What kind of lawyer's letter should I send to ask if the actor is okay? If someone forces me to come here even if I have a cold, am I that kind of person?"

Wang Jiawei reprimanded his assistant and then said: "Besides, it's not like we can't publicize it without him, there are so many people."

He knew that Ding Xiu was pretending to be ill and didn't want to come, and he understood.

This was not done in an authentic way. If a second male lead was edited into a walk-on, anyone else would be a little emotional.

But for the sake of the movie, some scenes had to be cut. There was no other way. He couldn't cut Liang Chaowei's scenes.

Originally, I wanted to give Ding Pati a Best Supporting Actor award at next year's Academy Awards.

Now it seems that Ding Xiu doesn't need it anymore.

It can only be said that young people are still too impulsive and can't calm down at all. Look at Song Huiqiao, a lot of her scenes have been cut, and she doesn't have to do promotions every day without any complaints.

At this moment, Song Huiqiao, who had no complaints, was sending a message to Ding Xiu on her mobile phone: "Brother Xiu, you are so amazing. I admire you so much. Director Wang's face turned dark."

"Actually, I didn't want to come. It's just that I have taken all the photos and spent so much time. It's not less than these days. Well, these are the actual words of the agent. I hope I can open up the mainland market."

Unlike Ding Xiu, a local, she is from outside and needs the popularity of mainland fans to expand the market.

Now she can follow Liang Chaowei, Zhang Ziyi and Wang Jiawei to promote every day, which is a good thing for her.

Just look at Weibo and you will know that the number of fans is increasing every day, very fast.

In the future, the domestic entertainment market will be the mainstream. Artists from my hometown have no way to develop here. I finally caught the opportunity and couldn't let it go.

After sending several messages in a row, Ding Xiu didn't reply immediately, so Song Huiqiao didn't send any more messages, thinking that maybe Ding Xiu was busy.

Then she tried posting a beautiful photo.

In less than three seconds, Ding Xiu replied: "These legs are very long, bah, the background is really white, no, this scene is very big, what do I want to say, by the way, about the promotion, I really have a cold , I can’t come, it’s not because I don’t cooperate with the crew.”

Song Huiqiao sneered. She didn't believe Ding Xiu's words. This guy was too blind.

She put away her phone but didn't reply to Ding Xiu.

On the other side, after waiting for no news for a while, Ding Xiu saved the photo and started recording the program.

In Peiping, Zhang Wei carried two bottles of Maotai to meet Li Mancang.

The red off-road vehicle stopped at the entrance of the alley, and he ducked into the alley.

I didn't wear a suit and tie today, just casual clothes. I walked to the door of the small courtyard with ease. As soon as I raised my hand, I heard a voice from inside.

"The door is not closed, come in."

Pushing open the ajar door, Zhang Wei entered the courtyard and looked up to see the old man in the living room.

"Haha, the old squad leader is very good at it. He can hear my footsteps from such a distance. Is this just identifying the location by listening to the sound?"

Li Mancang stood up: "You can tell your location by listening to the sound, but I can watch the surveillance."

Zhang Wei entered the house, and sure enough, he found a display screen in the living room. The screen was not only in the alley, but also in the living room and yard.

From the shooting point of view, the camera is quite hidden, at least he didn't notice it when he entered from the alley.

The wiring is also hidden, and you can't find it unless you dig through the wall to look for it.

"People from the Public Security Bureau installed it, saying it was to prevent thieves and for my safety. I am monitored every day. I didn't like it at first, but now I'm used to it."

He had been a guard for the leader before and knew a lot. Although he had retired, some of his precautions were still there. In some ways, it was to protect him.

Zhang Wei laughed dryly: "This is because the superiors attach great importance to the old squad leader. It doesn't matter if there is monitoring. My father is old and is a senior in high school. I also want to install monitoring at home to see if I can control it remotely and pay attention to the health of the elderly."

Li Mancang's expression softened a little: "Stop talking nonsense, what did Ding Xiu teach you?"

"Ma Bu, Bajiquan training, sets of moves, and a few moves, and the essence of the killing fist was also told to me."

"Put your things down and come to the yard with me."

In the yard, Li Mancang said to Zhang Wei: "Hit me with the skills he taught you."

"Old monitor, this." Zhang Wei didn't dare to make a move.

He thought he was here to ask questions, but he didn't expect it was for a discussion.

To say that he dared to try it before, but now that he has learned strength and his killing fist skills have improved to a higher level, he is really afraid of beating the old man.

"Why are you talking nonsense? If you are a grown man, my mother-in-law will beat you if you are told."

"Okay, let's finish the order then."

Ding Xiu did not give him the complete set of Baji Fist, so Zhang Wei could only use the killing punch.

The killing fist with 50% of the strength.

While blocking and rolling, Li Mancang said angrily: "This is your damn killing punch, where's the killing punch?"

Feeling the old squad leader's ease, Zhang Wei blushed a little, so he increased his strength by 20%. This time, Li Mancang was beaten back and forth, and he was a little unable to resist.

Seeing that his back was the wall, Zhang Wei was about to stop, but Li Mancang's eyes flashed with cold light, full of murderous intent. He let out a sigh of relief from his nose and mouth, and broke Zhang Wei's fist with the first punch.

The second punch was straight to the forehead.

Zhang Wei took a sharp breath, and the familiar feeling appeared again. He remembered that he had fought against Ding Xiu before, and it was also this strong murderous aura that made people feel chills on their backs, as if they were going to die in the next second.

However, since he was a special forces soldier, he would not be frightened by others and his life would be threatened. He subconsciously groaned and punched forward with his fist.

It wasn't until his fist came out that he realized that he was facing Li Mancang, a man of seventy or eighty years of age.

I wanted to close my fist, but it was too late.

"It's over."

Zhang Wei regretted it so much that he would not have competed if he had known it.

He also didn't expect that Li Mancang was so old and could burst out with such brave punches, even giving him a dangerous aura.

This time someone is going to be killed.

The sin is too great.

"Snapped!"

On the opposite side, Li Mancang was calm and unhurried. He bent his arm and used his elbow to push Zhang Wei's fist halfway. After a move, he separated and then leaned into Zhang Wei's arms.

Baji, close to the mountain.

"boom!"

Being hit by this, Zhang Wei took four or five steps back, his chest felt clogged, and he almost gasped for air.

Looking up, Li Mancang leisurely put his hands behind his back, looking like a master.

"Young man, you have to give your best when fighting against others. Let me teach you a lesson this time."

"The soup is still cooking in the kitchen, please wait for me."

After the beating, there was still time to make soup. Zhang Wei's admiration for Li Mancang was like a torrential river.

You know, he didn't hold back the punch just now. Unexpectedly, the old man was not weak at all, he easily broke through and defeated him.

His face wasn't red, he wasn't out of breath, he looked like a normal person.

He had only seen this kind of demeanor in Ding Xiu.

After leaving Zhang Wei's sight, Li Mancang took a deep breath and wiped the cold sweat from his head with his trembling hands.

"Fuck, are all young people today so fierce?"

"Fortunately, it was Ming Jin. I was so scared that I almost couldn't survive it."

"Fortunately, this kid suddenly showed his wit and allowed me to take over. Otherwise, I would have capsized in the gutter today."

Boxing is afraid of young people, but he is still old after all. How could he possibly compete with Zhang Wei in his prime.

His physical strength dropped drastically in the first round, and after receiving a powerful punch from Zhang Wei, the breath he was holding was released.

Otherwise, how could it be that a close supporter could have such power?

When he was young, on the battlefield, the enemies would vomit blood on the spot whenever he relied on him.

A few minutes later, Li Mancang came to the yard, and Zhang Wei quickly stood up and gave up the lounge chair under him.

"Old monitor, please sit down."

"Um."

After sitting down, Li Mancang's face looked better: "Your killing fist is good. You have indeed mastered the essence. Ding Xiu taught you well."

Zhang Wei smiled coquettishly: "Actually, Brother Xiu didn't teach me much, he mainly taught me how to practice strength."

Li Mancang's eyes widened: "Can this thing be taught?"

Martial arts is a matter of time and effort. Anyone who has not practiced it slowly for more than ten or twenty years. If Jin can be taught, there will be all martial arts masters in the world.

"Yes, in Brother Xiu's words, it's a crash course." Zhang Wei said excitedly: "I didn't know anything before, but after Brother Xiu's guidance, I was able to work hard."

Before coming, Ding Xiu had told the old squad leader to answer whatever he asked, and there was no need to keep it secret.

Li Mancang was shocked and stood up from his chair: "You don't understand anything. Have you never learned Baji?"

"No, I just started to learn Zama Step during this period."

In the past, he asked his comrades for advice on how to teach martial arts, but every one of them said it was too late to practice now, and it would take ten or eight years before he could become a master.

One said so, the other two said so, and he believed them.

As a result, in Ding Xiu's hands, it took only a short time for him to master the strength that represents a martial arts master.

If it weren't for the fact that Jin is easy to practice, I can only say that I am a unique martial arts wizard.

Zhang Wei prefers the latter.

There are only a few people who can practice strength, and he knows this. Many people will never be able to practice it in their lifetime.

I have never learned Chuanwu, but the fact that I can exert great energy shows that I am a martial arts prodigy.

"Fuck you!" Li Mancang uttered the quintessence of Chinese culture: "Is it true or false?"

"Of course it's true. I was in the military before and I had never been exposed to military training when I was a child."

"With your physique and murderous intent, you are not an ordinary soldier, are you?"

Li Mancang also felt it. The decisiveness and decisiveness of Zhang Wei's punch could not be achieved by a soldier who had never seen blood.

When he met Zhang Wei for the first time, he knew he was a soldier. After all, he had a different temperament and was easy to identify.

Only after the fight did I understand that Zhang Wei was not an ordinary soldier. Ordinary soldiers did not have such proficient fighting skills and experience, nor did they have murderous intentions and murderous intentions.

"Well, I retired from the special forces and suffered a waist injury." Zhang Wei did not report his number, but touched his lower back.

"I see."

Li Mancang finally knew where Zhang Wei's murderous aura came from. It turned out that he was also from a front-line army, so it was not surprising.

There is a big difference in boxing techniques between those who have had lives in their hands and those who have not.

Without asking him which unit he was from, Li Mancang said: "Repeat to me what Ding Xiu taught you."

There was no hiding anything, Zhang Wei explained it word for word according to what Ding Xiu taught before.

At first, Li Mancang nodded repeatedly, his pupils dilated as he listened, then his face became serious, and finally turned into a wry smile.

"Old squad leader, my talent is not bad." Zhang Wei's face was dull, but his eyes were full of pride.

What it takes others ten years to practice, he can do in less than a month. This is not a martial arts genius.

Li Mancang nodded: "It's indeed okay."

"Ah, is it just okay? I have no foundation in Chinese martial arts before, and I don't know how to do it."

"I know, you said it before, but with your physique, fighting skills, and fighting experience, it's not difficult to learn Jin."

"Ah." Zhang Wei was confused: "Isn't it difficult?"

Li Mancang chuckled: "What do you think of Tyson's fighting skills?"

"He's very strong. He's a world-class boxing champion. That goes without saying."

"Then do you think he's good at it?"

Zhang Wei was silent, thought for a while and said, "I don't know."

Li Mancang said seriously: "I can tell you responsibly, 100% yes."

"No way." Zhang Wei opened his mouth wide.

With Tyson's size, if he knew how to fight, he wouldn't be able to kill someone with one punch. Who would dare to fight with him?

As if he knew what he was thinking, Li Mancang said: "The strength he knows is the same as the strength you know, but the strength you know is different from the strength learned through ordinary martial arts training."

"Without the basic training from childhood to adulthood, your strength is destined not to go far. You will only be at this level your whole life. Ding Xiu is right. You have taken a trick. In terms of strength, you only know what it is, but you don't know why. .”

"You know that you need to unite your energy, energy and spirit to be powerful, but you don't know what energy, energy and spirit are. The reason why you can fight is not because you are talented, but because you have strong fighting experience, high physical fitness, and a clear understanding of the human body's muscles and bones. .”

"When you master these characteristics, and someone shows you how to use force, you will be able to do it naturally. But if my guess is correct, you can only use force in the killing punch, or certain certain moves. strength."

"Without these few moves, you won't be able to do it. No matter how hard you fight, you won't be able to do it."

Zhang Wei nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I don't know why this is the case."

"Haha, you don't have to think about it. If you can't figure it out, it's a blessing to have a few tricks."
