This actor needs more money

Not long after it was posted on Ding Xiu’s Moments, the number of likes exceeded 100, and some people asked where to sign up.

Ding Xiu replied with an email address.

With the development of society, paper resumes are no longer needed. Artists usually make a PPT and enter their personal experiences.

Those who have works will also put some film and television clips in which they have participated.

At this time, on the other side, Deng Jiajia was having dinner with Wang Chuanjun. She happened to browse Ding Xiu's circle of friends and said excitedly: "Ding Xiu's crew is looking for actors. I think I can give it a try."

"Where is it? Let me take a look." Wang Chuanjun took a curious look and said in surprise: "He is quite brave, playing such an important role."

"I'm afraid that starting from tomorrow, his mailbox will explode."

After all, the ones released are not for small roles. A lot of people are willing to cooperate with Ding Xiu, and I am afraid that many first- and second-tier artists are willing to come over.

There are no secrets in the circle of friends. Everyone has friends. Ding Xiu just posted it, and within half an hour, almost everyone in this circle knew it.

"Brother Wang, do you want to submit a resume as well?" Deng Jiajia asked bewilderedly: "Then we will audition together. If we succeed, we will be colleagues. If we fail, we will be punished."

Wang Chuanjun touched his chin and thought for two seconds: "Okay, I'll post it when I get back, but people may not like me."

After all, Deng Jiajia still has the title of Best Supporting Actress. What does she have?

The representative work is the iPartment series, which is a bit hard to sell.

"Not necessarily. If Ding Xiu can take on this role, he must be looking for a suitable actor. The casting is not a problem. I believe in your acting skills."

Deng Jiajia encouraged Wang Chuanjun.

After the completion of iPartment, few of them are still serious about acting. Lu Ziqiao, Zeng Xiaoxian, and Hu Yifei have all become half variety show stars.

She knew about Wang Chuanjun's situation. He was passionate about performing and had always yearned for a better performance hall, so he needed an opportunity.

After the filming of Love Apartment was completed, he has been concentrating on his acting skills and studying in a down-to-earth manner.

Wang Chuanjun grinned: "It would be great if they also had your confidence."

Looking at the email account in his circle of friends, his eyes were firm, as if he had made a decision.

…

Just as Wang Chuanjun thought, Ding Xiu's mailbox was almost bursting with thousands of emails sent, all for competing roles.

There are the most people competing for the female lead, accounting for most of them.

Some people knew that he was going to be casting, so they didn't even send emails, but called and recommended themselves.

In short, those who have connections want to go through the back door, and those who don’t have connections want to find connections.

At first glance, it looks like all sentient beings.

Those young actors at the bottom have no idea about Ding Xiu's casting, and have no information at all. They will always be greeted by passive choices.

As expected, they can only get the news when the crew has confirmed the main actors and recruited supporting actors, and then they will line up to compete for the roles one by one.

People who have Ding Xiu's WeChat account are better off. They get the news immediately, have clear goals, and shoot for the role they like. They can directly submit their resume and send it to the email.

And those who have Ding Xiu's personal phone number and friendship are more convenient. They can call to invite them to dinner and make appointments for auditions, which saves the time of submitting resumes and seizes opportunities.

A week later, Ding Xiu, who had received thousands of emails, worked overtime, sorted out hundreds of names, and asked the assistant director to call them to come and audition.

Naturally, this job of making phone calls was left to Han Jianu to do it, so as to train her.

Han Jia Nyeo was also very happy to take this job. She was able to get so many artist calls and interviews at once, which was indeed progress for her.

Another four or five days passed, and the first batch of interviewees came to Qin Chao Entertainment.

In a conference room, Ding Xiu, the executive director, the first assistant director, and the screenwriter were all present.

There is a laptop in front of everyone, which clearly records the information of the interviewees who will come in next.

For three consecutive days, Ding Xiu screened out a dozen people.

The second round of auditions begins.

"Is Teacher Wang Chuanjun here? Please come inside!"

"Please prepare for the next teacher Yang Mi."

In the corridor outside, Wang Chuanjun was a little excited when he heard his name. Next to him, Deng Jiajia said: "Brother Wang, no matter whether you can try it today or not, I have to treat you."

"OK, no problem."

Wang Chuanjun smiled and nodded.

Originally, he was just accompanying Deng Jiajia, but in the end, Deng Jiajia was eliminated in the first round, and he managed to survive until the second round.

Today it was Deng Jiajia who came to accompany her.

After adjusting his plaid shirt, Wang Chuanjun pushed open the conference room door and said to Ding Xiu and others at the front:

"Hello teachers, I am actor Wang Chuanjun, and the role I am auditioning for today is Lu Yiyi."

"It's okay, don't be nervous, just sit down and talk." Ding Xiu motioned for him to sit down first, and then asked his assistant to pour water.

"The way you are dressed, you come prepared."

Shoulder-length hair, cheap glasses, and a crappy plaid shirt. It looked like he had prepared props in advance.

Looking at his haggard face again, he didn't know how many nights he had stayed up, and his face was gray.

Looks like a leukemia patient.

Ding Xiu was not disgusted with this kind of scheming man. When auditioning for a role, he had to do his best within the rules and use the utmost sincerity to impress the director and win the role.

"I made some preparations." Wang Chuanjun nodded and chuckled.

"What do you think of the character Lu Yiyi?"

"Afraid of death, suffering, and the gloom of life, he is willing to do anything in order to survive. He has a strong will to survive..."

According to his own understanding, Wang Chuanjun elaborated on the heart, motivations and role positioning of the character Lu Yiyi.

He has studied these things many times in private.

I wrote tens of thousands of words in my biography, and I stayed up for two days and one night without sleeping for today's audition, just to make myself closer to the character physically.

Ding Xiu snapped his fingers, and his assistant brought over a basket of steamed buns.

"There is a scene in the film where Cheng Yong invites Lu Yiyi to eat. He eats a lot in one go. Can you demonstrate it?"

"no problem."

"I'll give you ten minutes to prepare."

Ten minutes later, Wang Chuanjun began to eat the buns like crazy, gobbling them down and even getting burned in the process.

While he was performing, Ding Xiu and the others silently marked the performance in small notebooks in front of them.

Overall, the acting is okay.

After eating more than a dozen steamed buns in one go, just when Wang Chuanjun was about to vomit, Ding Xiu shouted to stop.

"Okay, drink some water."

"Let him change his makeup."

Hearing this, Wang Chuanjun felt happy. He knew that he had passed the performance test, otherwise Ding Xiu would not let him try on makeup.

As long as there is no problem with the makeup, he will be one step closer to this role.

After a while, Wang Chuanjun's makeup came out, and Ding Xiu and others came closer to watch.

"You don't look like that." Han Jianu said.

Wang Chuanjun felt a chill in his heart and asked, "Teacher, what's the difference?"

"A bit fat. Those leukemia patients are all very thin and not in good spirits because they are suffering from the disease."

"Teacher, I can lose weight. Within a month, it won't be a big problem if I lose more than 20 pounds."

Wang Chuanjun immediately patted his chest.

Han Jianu clicked her tongue, she was a ruthless person, she had to lose 20 pounds in a month, not just through exercise, she also had to go on a diet.

This is not good for your health.

She set her sights on Ding Xiu and asked what he meant.

Ding Xiu didn't want to waste the other person's time: "Let's do it this way. You can reduce the amount for half a month first, and we'll see the results after half a month."

If you lose so much at once, you don’t have the willpower to persevere. If you can’t persevere for half a month, then that month is nonsense.

"Okay teacher, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"Next, Yang Mi!"

Yang Mi walked in with her burgundy dyed and permed long shawl hair, long suspender skirt, and black gauze semi-sheer jacket.

On the computers of Ding Xiu and others is her resume, which is very long and has thousands of words.

There are also many representative works, all of which are female.

The awards he has received look intimidating.

One of the columns is the box office of the starring movies, which is over 2 billion.

But the most eye-catching thing is that in the attached video, there is a piece of pole dancing, with colorful flashing lights and deafening music. The figure is graceful, and the thigh is hooked on the pole. It looks... very powerful.

"Hello teachers, I am actress Yang Mi."

"sit."

Ding Xiu motioned for her to sit down.

To be honest, he was surprised when he saw Yang Mi's name on the first round list. He didn't expect that she would come.

He didn't say hello in advance, and he didn't go through the back door.

Since Yang Mi wanted to keep things private, Ding Xiu didn't pay much attention to her and just followed the normal procedure.

"What is the maximum scale you can accept?" Ding Xiu's first question was very sharp.

Yang Mi asked: "Teacher Ding, what scale are you referring to?"

"You know, the character is a bar dancer, and the way she dresses is a little bit revealing."

"So what's the scale?"

"Black stockings, hip-hugging skirt, low-cut suspenders."

"I have no problem with that."

The Far Cry she shot back then was much larger than this, and she also shot bikinis, which is no less impressive.

Another reason why she agreed readily was that she was convinced that the scale of the film that could be released in the mainland would not be that big.

Ding Xiu continued: "One more thing, this character has a sex scene."

Da Mimi raised the corners of her lips, looked at him and said, "No problem."

This is even simpler.

She is familiar with this.

Aren’t all male protagonists Ding Xiu?

Except for Ding Xiu, the director, assistant director, and screenwriter present were all a little surprised by Yang Mi's generosity. They didn't expect this popular actress to be so easy to talk to.

Yang Mi is on the front line. Although her reputation is not good, she is very popular. Having her join the cast is a plus for this film.

I'm not afraid of her ruining the drama. After all, it's a male lead drama, and everyone is on Ding Xiu's side. With Ding Xiu holding the show, it's okay.

Ding Xiu tapped the table gently and asked calmly: "Last question, what is your expected salary?"

He had just finished cooperating with "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", and he knew Yang Mi's acting skills very well, as well as her popularity, popularity, box office appeal, and fan base. He also understood these.

The biggest difficulty for Yang Mi in this role was the scale and remuneration.

"I hope it will be no less than 10 million." Yang Mi raised a finger: "After tax."

Fan Binbin's incident just happened, now everyone has to pay taxes.

Artists with high incomes are paid according to the 45% standard. Ten million after tax, almost twenty million before tax.

To be honest, not much.

It's lower than her market price.

When she makes movies, she never gets paid less than RMB 40 million. When she meets a wealthy boss, she can even pay more.

"Okay, this role is for you." Ding Xiu agreed on the spot: "I will have someone give you the script later."

"Adjust the schedule and don't skip the show."

Yang Mi rolled her eyes: "Hai, don't you know what I am like now?"

In the conference room, several pairs of eyes glanced meaningfully between Ding Xiu and Yang Mi.

The assistant director and executive director wisely turned their heads aside as if they didn't hear anything, but Han Jia Nu was the only one with eyes full of gossip.
