This actor needs more money

At the end of the year, Qin Chao Entertainment annual meeting.

The process is the same as in previous years. First, each department makes a year-end summary. Qin Gang goes on stage to say a few words and announce the year-end bonuses and other bonuses.

Finally, announce the work content and project plans for the next year.

This year, Ding Xiu did not come to power. This kind of face-saving project was tiring to do every year, and he did not need to win people's hearts.

"Brother Xiu, how does the company plan to arrange for me this year?"

Before the conference started, Zhao Liying came behind Ding Xiu, massaged his shoulders, and asked in a low voice.

Ding Xiu didn't answer the question, but said angrily: "You are so busy at work, you shouldn't need to be arranged by the company."

Zhao Liying smiled bitterly: "I'm not busy, I'm very free and have nothing to do."

"I don't see you hanging out at my place when I have nothing to do, and I don't usually receive your calls."

"It's such a big deal." Zhao Liying said coyly, "Actually, I'm really busy. I haven't had a day off this year, not even a day."

Ding Xiu sighed: "If you don't have to do some side jobs, you won't be so exhausted."

He asked the company's agency about Zhao Liying's situation, and she received dozens of films a year. Well, they were all minor roles, and the best ones were minor supporting roles.

I didn’t make much money, and I had to go to the hospital several times.

Sitting next to Ding Xiu, Yang Mi, who was wearing a white dress, echoed: "Yes, Xiao Zhao, don't work too hard, don't take on those extras, I will take care of you later."

"Really, thank you Sister Mi."

"You're welcome, we're all family members."

Turning her head, Zhao Liying curled her lips. She and Yang Mi were not her family members. She had the best relationship with Ding Xiu in the company. They were the most familiar with each other. To be considered family members, it would have to be Brother Xiu.

With Yang Mi's tone, those who didn't know better thought she was the boss's wife.

She doesn't need Yang Mi's support.

"Didn't you film Princess Fairy the Princess this year? When will it be broadcast?" Ding Xiu asked as he thought of something.

Zhao Liying shook her head: "I don't know, I didn't ask."

"I'll ask you later."

"Thank you Brother Xiu."

She didn't ask, she didn't dare to ask.

With a cast as big as Huan Zhu Ge Ge, who cares about her as a supporting character? Asking people about their work progress, who do you think they are?

Ding Xiu is different. He can casually chat with the male and female actors or ask the TV station and easily know when it will be broadcast.

Ding Xiu was very efficient in his work. He said he would ask about it later, but when he saw that the annual meeting had not started yet, he took out his mobile phone and called Xiangnan Satellite TV directly to ask about Princess Huanzhu.

He has been running there a lot over the years and knows quite a few people.

The film purchasing department was all headed by women. Every time he went there, he would be dragged to drink by his sisters. When he was young and not popular, he was often taken advantage of.

After a few minutes, he hung up the phone and Ding Xiu said, "You said you were stupid. You didn't even know the TV series was about to start airing. People said it would be aired during the winter vacation."

"Great, yeah!"

Zhao Liying was so happy that she almost jumped up.

The role of Qing'er is the one she has had the most scenes with since her debut. Although it is only a supporting role, with the blessing of Huanzhu, a super big IP, it is no problem for Xiaohong to be a little popular. No matter how bad it is, it can still increase her popularity a lot.

Why is she playing a small role every year? It's because her reputation is too low and she has no masterpieces. Directors don't dare to use her, and companies don't dare to spend a lot of resources on her.

"Don't be too happy too early. If your scenes are cut, you will only have a few scenes and the audience will not know you."

"Ah~"

Zhao Liying was thrown a basin of cold water by Ding Xiu, which made her heart feel cold.

There are many scenes during filming, but the scenes are cut during post-production. This kind of thing has not happened before. On the contrary, it is the norm. It is impossible for the director to keep all the scenes.

Sometimes it has to be given up for the sake of length, and sometimes it is about the continuity of the plot. Considering the proportion of scenes between the leading role and the supporting role, the supporting role cannot be too bright to overwhelm the leading role, etc.

"Ah, what, don't stop." Ding Xiu urged Zhao Liying, and after she continued the massage, he said: "The focus of the company this year is the second part of Xiuchundao."

"Are you planning to make me the heroine?" Zhao Liying asked doubtfully.

"Ahem." Yang Mi coughed.

Zhao Liying is the heroine and wants to eat shit, so what should I do?

Ding Xiu gave Yang Mi a funny look and said to Zhao Liying: "I haven't finished speaking yet. In addition to Xiuchundao, the company also has many investment projects, some of which are quite good. After the meeting is over, I will discuss it with Lao Qin. Let’s discuss and get you a female lead opportunity.”

Zhao Liying's massage hand became stronger in an instant, twisting Ding Xiu's facial features. Her heart was pounding with excitement and she started to stutter when she spoke.

"Brother Xiu, me, Gulu, me, the heroine?"

The heroine, this is something she only dares to think about when she is dreaming.

The domestic film and television drama market is good, but that is only for artists who have capital to back them.

For a girl who has no capital, no support from her family, who is not stunningly beautiful, and who is unwilling to sacrifice herself, it is very difficult to become a heroine in this life.

Investors spent tens of millions to invest in a drama, why should they let you be the heroine?

Beautiful? There are so many beautiful women, and the most indispensable thing in the entertainment industry is beautiful women.

Good acting skills? You are a girl in your twenties, no matter how good your acting skills are, how can you be better than someone who has become a monk halfway through acting as a monk?

Are those who have graduated from acting majors as good as those child actors who debuted in their twenties and have more than ten years of filming experience?

These days, any newcomer who can play a heroine either has the capital to support her, has a godfather, or brings money to join the team.

And Ding Xiu is willing to give Zhao Liying a heroine, so how can he not make her happy? It's like pie in the sky, happier than winning a double-color ball.

Don't talk about her, even Yang Mi was so excited that she was just jealous. Her hands on her thighs almost grabbed her skirt into a ball.

There is really no comparison between people.

I worked hard to get a heroine opportunity from Ding Xiu, but no, I didn't get it, it was given to me after the company made a decision.

Zhao Liying did nothing, while Ding Xiu arranged everything. She played a supporting role last year and a leading role next year.

Haha, life is really good.

Knowing what the two girls were thinking, Ding Xiu said calmly: "Don't be too happy too early. This is your chance. If you don't become popular, you can come back and continue to be my assistant."

For Ding Xiu, it is easy to win the leading role for himself, but it is difficult to win the leading role for others.

He did not star in the project that Zhao Liying was going to go to this time, but the company invested a lot of money. Later, he personally went to talk to the director and producer over there and said that if he showed off his face and owed a favor, he should be able to get the role.

It's just that he can do this kind of thing once or twice, but not three or four times.

To strike iron, you have to be tough yourself.

Zhao Liying had been out for a few years, so he was willing to help her only because she was hardworking enough and they had known each other for a long time, but it was only once.

If he really couldn't become famous, there was nothing he could do.

Zhao Liying massaged harder and said with a happy smile: "Okay, if it doesn't become popular, I will come back as an assistant. Then you just don't dislike me."

Damimi next to her was extremely envious: "Brother Xiu, do you still need an assistant? How about I do it?"

Ding Xiu was not the least bit kind to the people around him.

I heard that Qin Lan was just a small receptionist before and was promoted to the position by Ding Xiu.

And the one named Jia Ling is also a regular guest in several variety shows.

Now there is another Zhao Liying, who will be directly assigned the protagonist.

Who wouldn’t want to be this kind of assistant?

"My assistant is very hard-working and does some physical work."

"I can do physical work too." Damimi said quickly.

She felt that she had good physical strength and persisted for several hours that night.

PS: I went out for a walk in the evening, so that’s it for today. Please bear with me. When I go back, the outline will be enriched and I’ll have plenty of time, so I’ll write more.
