This actor needs more money

Ding Xiu's mouth twitched when he mentioned niece and uncle. This name was what Liu Xiaoli was talking about. Liu Yifei never called them, and he himself didn't care.

"Sister Li, you can't say that. What do you mean by cheating? That role is quite suitable for her. She plays her true self. I don't think there is anything wrong with it."

"That's a supporting role, the second female lead!"

On the phone, Liu Xiaoli's voice became louder again.

She was angry for two reasons. One was that her daughter came back as if she was possessed by a ghost. She was holding her cell phone in a daze and giggling, saying what Brother Xiu said about this character.

Xixi and Ding Xiu hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they thought their relationship had faded away, but they didn't expect that they would end up like this when they met once. Liu Xiaoli was helpless, if she had known she would not bring Xixi back.

They were almost kidnapped.

It would be fine if I met someone worth trusting for life. Who is Ding Xiu?

She was too embarrassed to point it out.

At first glance, he looks like a playboy.

There will be no good end for following this kid sooner or later.

In addition to fearing that their old relationship would rekindle, she was also angry for another reason, which was also the main reason. Ding Xiu actually asked Xixi to play the second female lead.

With this kind of relationship, shouldn't Xixi be allowed to play the first female lead? What does it mean to play the second female lead?

Ding Xiu's tone was solemn: "Sister Li, you can't say that. Sometimes the second female lead is not necessarily worse than the first female lead."

"Don't talk nonsense with me." Liu Xiaoli interrupted him: "You really think I don't understand anything."

Is this menopause? Are you so angry?

Ding Xiu was a little speechless, and he simply refused to tolerate her, and replied directly: "Yes, yes, you have good taste. Xixi has followed you to movies in the past few years, and she has not achieved anything famous. She has lost so much in vain. effort."

After The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Liu Yifei has not acted in TV series again. In the past few years, he has been making movies. He has shot domestically and abroad without stopping.

The schedule is full, but there are no works. Either they are filmed and cannot be broadcast, or they are broadcast without any splash.

She went to make movies when she was the most popular, but failed to achieve any results. Doesn’t Liu Xiaoli have any responsibility?

Ding Xiu remembered that this eldest sister had been following Xixi, and she was responsible for taking over and arranging many scenes and scripts.

"You, me." Liu Xiaoli was stunned. She wanted to scold Ding Xiu but didn't curse, or she didn't know how to scold him. In the end, she could only say: "You think everyone is you, you are so lucky."

Yes, she can only use luck to describe Xixi's career.

I have filmed several movies, all with big directors and big investments. I have done everything I need to do, but it just doesn’t hit. Who’s to blame?

Ding Xiu is extremely lucky. None of his movies have been banned. Every one of them has been broadcast and has done well.

If one or two movies were banned in the middle, his development would not be so fast.

On the other side of the phone, Ding Xiu sighed and shook his head. He didn't expect Liu Xiaoli to be so tough: "If you have to use luck to comfort yourself, then just think of it as luck, but Xixi has grown up, and for people in their twenties, there are some things she She can make her own decisions, and I really think this role is suitable for her."

Yes, Ding Xiu is not completely fooling Liu Yifei. It is really good for Liu Yifei to play the role of Ding Sitian.

At least the image is appropriate, and coupled with the acting, it will get twice the result with half the effort.

"Haha." Liu Xiaoli sneered: "I think the female lead is quite suitable for her."

Ding Xiu was speechless: "Sister, how old is Shirley Yang, the female lead, and how old is Xixi? Can she perform the vicissitudes of life and the sense of time? She is not suitable for playing roles beyond her age. It is okay to be compatible downwards."

That's right, Liu Yifei can't play roles that are much older than herself. Her appearance makes her look like an innocent, school beauty, or a beauty in ancient costume.

But in Liu Xiaoli's hands, why should she take on some challenging roles?

Little success depends on support, big success depends on fate. Some people say that actors are born to be successful.

Liu Yifei's image is destined to make her famous very quickly, but it also limits her acting career, and she cannot play many roles.

This is the case for the female lead Shirley Yang this time.

She is too young.

"An actor is just a bowl of youthful rice. You think you can survive for a few years just by looking good. Since you have the conditions, why not play some difficult roles to hone your acting skills and accumulate praise and reputation."

"I can eat it for a few years, but my acting skills and reputation cannot be used as food."

"Short-sighted."

"I can't talk to you. If Xixi doesn't want to act, let her tell me herself."

After saying the last words, Ding Xiu hung up the phone, turned over and went back to sleep.

But this time I couldn't fall asleep, I kept my eyes open thinking about the conversation just now.

In fact, Liu Xiaoli did the right thing. She did train Liu Yifei to a higher level and did not let her focus on making money.

It's just that Liu Xiaoli's starting point is too high and she is not an ordinary person. As a lady, she has never felt the importance of money, and art is more important in her heart.

To put it bluntly, it is not down to earth.

As an actor, if you can make money when you are young, you can make money. Art is something you can talk about after you have eaten enough, made enough money, and played enough.

Liu Yifei is young and is on the rise of his career. At this time, there are many resources and many scripts available. It is okay to take on more popular dramas. He must first build up his popularity and likes.

If Liu Yifei takes on a few more costume dramas after The Legend of the Condor Heroes, she will probably be at the pinnacle of the TV drama field as an actress, and it won’t be too late to make a breakthrough at that time.

But Liu Xiaoli wanted to take her to make music, release an album, and hit the Hollywood movie market.

Until now, the career of the singer has not been successful, and there is no splash in Hollywood, so he ran back in despair.

He wouldn't even look down on the second female lead, nor would he read the script first.

In the evening, Liu Yifei called Ding Xiu who was having dinner.

"Brother Xiu, you don't have to worry about my mother. I have the final say on this matter. I must play the role of Ding Sitian. I will go to your company to sign the contract tomorrow."

At the dining table, Gao Yuanyuan did not raise her head, just eating. She said to Ding Xiu, who was about to get up, "Sit down."

As soon as Ding Xiu got off the chair, he sat back down: "It's okay. You and your mother should discuss it carefully. There's no need to answer me in such a hurry."

"Hands-free." Gao Yuanyuan said again.

Ding Xiu's head was covered with black lines, but he still pressed the speaker phone. He was clean and fair, and his body was upright and not afraid of slanting shadows.

"I'm an adult now. I don't care about my mother. I make my own decisions about my own life. Anyway, I will listen to you."

Gao Yuanyuan's frequency of picking up food has slowed down, and she looked at Ding Xiu with a somewhat unkind look.

Ding Xiu said quickly: "Don't say that, it's not easy for your mother either. She won't harm you."

"Yes, yes, she won't harm me. She just doesn't like me hanging out with you. It's been like this a few years ago. I'm too lazy to tell her..."

Listening to Liu Yifei complaining about Liu Xiaoli, Gao Yuanyuan calmly put down the bowl and went to the kitchen to get Ding Xiu some date wine.

"Ahem." Ding Xiu coughed. He felt that if this role is not good, Liu Yifei should not play it. He would suffer: "Xixi, but the pay for this role is not high, why don't you think about it again."

"It's okay. Brother Xiu, I will film your scene for free."

When Gao Yuanyuan, who had just returned, heard this, she filled up the big wine glass, grabbed a handful of wolfberries, threw them in, and placed them in front of Ding Xiu.

"Thank you." Ding Xiu was about to burst into tears: "You can go to the company by yourself when you have time."

Not daring to continue chatting, he hung up the phone.

Gao Yuanyuan leaned her elbows on the table and smiled half-heartedly: "Someone told me before that I just regarded her as my little sister."

"She's a little sister." Ding Xiu said firmly, "A little sister in her twenties is also a little sister."

Gao Yuanyuan sighed: "I finally understand. It's because I'm underage and I'm afraid of getting into trouble, right?"

Ding Xiu: "..."

"Don't speak so harshly. Do I sound like someone who is afraid of getting into trouble?"

"Hey, are you not afraid of minors?"

"Is that what I meant?"

"Don't be ridiculous, finish your drink, and don't go anywhere these days."

Ding Xiu tremblingly picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

He used to not smoke, only smoke cigars, but now he wakes up every morning and there are cigarette butts on the ground.

It's all tears.

One or two days is okay, but if this happens every day, who can withstand it?

Because of the high frequency, it rains now and I don’t use an umbrella. Sooner or later, someone will die.

…

Gao Yuanyuan didn't let Ding Xiu go out, so when she wasn't at home, Ding Xiu went out anyway.

After receiving a call from Yang Siwei, Qin Lan had a quarrel with Qin Gang in the company, and there was a little friction.

Arriving at the company, Ding Xiu finally met face to face with Qin Lan who had left.

"I heard you came to the company, why don't you..."

Ignoring Ding Xiu, Qin Lan passed by him with a cold face and left without saying a word.

In the office lobby, many people stared at this scene.

Ding Xiu touched his nose and glanced around with a serious expression. The staff quickly lowered their heads to work.

When he came to Qin Gang's office, Lao Qin was smoking heavily with a sad look on his face. When he saw Ding Xiu coming in, he gave one to Ding Xiu.

Taking the hand, Ding Xiu glanced at it and saw that it was Hua Zi. He picked up the lighter on the coffee table and lit it. He sat on the sofa and crossed his legs and took a slow breath.

"Is it about the female lead?"

Qin Gang nodded: "The first thing I did was to show off my power, saying that I favored outsiders and didn't give my own people a chance. I would rather give the role to Gao Yuanyuan than to her. Then I came to the soft side and said that as long as it is a company film, she can lower the pay for the role."

Speaking of this, Qin Gang became very depressed: "Obviously you gave the role to Gao Yuanyuan, why did I become the one who took the blame? Now I am not a human being inside and outside."

Ding Xiu's back door was none of his business.

"Old Qin, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. What did I give you? I wasn't even at the audition at the time. This was entirely something she fought for. All interviews are videotaped, and they are fair, just and open to the public."

"Okay, don't talk nonsense with me. You know what you're doing. Tell me, what are you going to do about Xiaolan?"

Ding Xiu lay back and said, "Just do whatever you have to do."

"Then I'll just take care of business." After Qin Gang finished speaking, Ding Xiu glared at him and said helplessly: "Isn't your new company about to open? Your family is so rich, why don't you take it back and put it under your name?"

Qin Chao Entertainment no longer needs Qin Lan.

Among female artists, Tang Yan and Yang Mi are both great potential stocks. They are young and their development is no worse than Qin Lan.

The main thing is to be obedient, do whatever is said, and obey management.

Instead of giving resources to Qin Lan, it would be better to give them to these two people.

Ding Xiu shook his head: "There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If they are put together, they will probably fight."

Qin Gang was silent, and after a while he said: "How about we let her open a studio by herself, put it under the name of the company, and say that the company does not restrict the development of artists. If she performs well in the future, she will open a separate studio and be given shares in the company." .”

When an artist reaches a certain stage of development, what he wants most is to leave the company, and does not want to be sucked by the management company.

Going out to open a studio on your own and giving some shares in the company sounds like a great thing. Not only can you take on outside work openly, but you can also be connected with the company and make money on both sides.

It's just that Qin Lan's situation is a bit special.

It is said that it is a studio, but in fact it is almost the same as spinning off a company, and then it will fend for itself.

"You give me the shares." Ding Xiu said.

Qin Gang rolled his eyes: "I'll give it, just a few tenths as a token token."

"You make arrangements." Ding Xiu stood up and prepared to leave with a cigarette in his mouth: "I'll comfort her."

Qin Gang shouted: "Let me tell her something by the way."

"Go away, you say it yourself."

Ding Xiu would not do such offending things.

When he came downstairs, Ding Xiu saw Qin Lan standing next to the car. He took out the car key and unlocked the car. She pulled out the passenger seat and got in.

After getting in the car, Ding Xiu drove a short distance and saw that she was silent and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Did you give the number one female lead to Sister Yuanyuan?"

Ding Xiu wanted to say no, but he didn't want to lie to her: "Yes."

"Have you ever thought about giving me the role?" This time, Qin Lan looked at Ding Xiu and said.

"No."

Ding Xiu's tone remained firm.

Qin Lan smiled, with a bitter smile.

"Stop the car, I'll get off in front."

Without stopping, Ding Xiu continued: "At the beginning, I didn't even think about the people around me. What I discussed with Lao Qin was to do business and find the right person to act."

"Then why did you give it to Sister Yuanyuan? I understand, she asked you for it, so blame me for not looking for you. Stop ahead."

Ding Xiu didn't stop: "If you have something to say, please say it. Why are you so angry?"

Qin Lan: "..."

"There was a store in front of me. I wanted to eat. I kept stopping. I jumped out of the car."

"Stop, I stop."

After stepping on the brakes, Ding Xiu parked the car on the side of the road, and then noticed that the store Qin Lan was talking about was a small shop that made spicy hotpot.

After opening the door and getting out of the car, Qin Lan came to the store. Ding Xiu was about to come down. Qin Lan said, "Just don't come down. I'll go back."

After a while, she came back with two portions of Malatang.

"Let's go to my place."

Evening, twelve o'clock.

Ding Xiu was sitting on the stairs of the villa smoking: "So, the Malatang story is true? It's just that I became the heroine."

There was a vague pain in his waist.

Wearing a bathrobe, Qin Lan walked out of the bathroom and said, "Are you in bad condition?"

Ding Xiu: "..."

A bowl of Malatang, four times, still not enough?

Indeed, it is a bit backward compared to before, but what else can I do if I have to do two jobs at the same time?

"By the way, let me tell you something. Lao Qin said that the company plans to reform and open a studio for you. What do you think?"

"Other artists will receive similar treatment from now on, it's not directed at you."
