This actor wants to pay more

Chapter 204 Apple
Kang Honglei was born as a drama actor and worked as a director in a provincial TV production center. He has resources and contacts, and understands the production process, which is much better than a director who has become a monk.

The first directorial work was The Years of Burning Passion, which became an instant hit.

The second one hits the nail on the head, starring Zuo Xiaoqing and Liu Ye. It was launched last year and started broadcasting in the first half of this year. The ratings and reputation are quite good.

Two consecutive works have sold well, such a director is not worried about investors, and this time he will open a new drama, the cast and capital investment may not be lower than the previous two.

This wave of Wang Baoqiang made it.

On the phone, Wang Baoqiang said excitedly: "After I went back today, I received a call from my agent asking me to audition. I didn't expect the director to make the decision on the spot and let me be the number one male."

If the agent hadn't contacted him, he would have almost forgotten that he had an agent.

No Thieves in the World praised him as high as he threw him down.

I can't go back to the Beijing Film Studio. I'm a star anyway, and I can't go to the construction site to move bricks, and I can't let go of working as a small worker.

God knows how he survived these days.

After the audition today, he almost shed tears. When he got home, he lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, like a dream, not real at all.

It was only after he regained his composure that he remembered to call Ding Xiu to announce the good news.

"The male lead is hard to come by, so do your best and don't miss the chance." Ding Xiu was happy for Wang Baoqiang.

As someone who has experienced it, he knows how difficult it is for a grassroots actor to get ahead. If it weren't for him and Qin Gang to sell everything, he and Qin Gang would make a whole Legend of Sword and Fairy.

If you want to be the number one male, you don't know how many years you will have to endure.

Wang Baoqiang's ability to play the male lead is probably due to the fact that Huayi invested in this drama.

Big companies are good, full of confidence.

He was a little bit envious.

"Brother Xiu, don't worry, I will definitely work hard this time, so I don't want to embarrass you, call Brother Bo another day, and I'll treat you to dinner."

After the formal signing, he will be able to get the initial salary, and then he will be able to treat Ding Xiu to dinner, and if possible, he will repay the borrowed money by the way.

No matter how thick-skinned he is, he would be ashamed to eat every day.

"Okay, I'll wait for your meal."

Ding Xiu still knows Wang Baoqiang's acting skills. Although he is not from a major, he has a wild way, but his acting is really good and his acting talent is extremely high.

These geniuses naturally have their own understanding of emotions, facial muscle changes, and body language.

Compared with Bao Qiang and Huang Bo, Ding Xiu's performance can only be said to be passable.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuanyuan said: "Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang are out filming, if you don't work harder, you may be overtaken by them."

"If you exceed it, you will exceed it, I don't care."

"Not jealous?"

"There are so many people stronger than me, everyone will be jealous, I don't have to live."

Holding his arm, Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile: "There is an old saying, I hope my friends live well, but I don't want to live better than you."

Unexpectedly, Ding Xiu nodded seriously: "It's indeed a golden word, much more reliable than what experts say about common prosperity."

It is a normal psychological phenomenon that I am afraid that my brother will have a hard time, and I am afraid that my brother will drive the Land Rover.

Watching the people around me who were not as good as me get up one by one, slowly surpassing me, that kind of feeling is really uncomfortable.

But this one is a bit redundant for Ding Xiu.

Acting is not a lifelong pursuit for him, but a tool to make money.

So Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo earns more money than him, he will not be jealous, because his acting talent is indeed better than him.

Don't say that he hasn't surpassed himself yet, if he really surpassed himself, Ding Xiu is not surprised at all.

If the performance is replaced by martial arts, it is almost the same. One day Baoqiang, Wu Jing's martial arts surpasses him, he may be jealous, but he may not say so.

Instead of talking about this topic, Gao Yuanyuan changed her voice: "How do you think about what I told you last time?"

"what's up?"

"Go home to see your parents. You were busy filming before. I didn't rush you. Now that you've finished filming, you should have time, right?"

Ding Xiu: "..."

MMP!

What should come is still coming.

"This matter, listen to me, we, that's the only one, right, wait for me to free up my hand later, hell, right..."

Gao Yuanyuan pinched Ding Xiu's waist with a dark face: "What the hell, what the hell are you talking about, just say whether you want to go or not?"

"Look at your faltering, don't you mean that you don't want to be with me and want to prostitute me for nothing?"

Ding Xiu shook his head violently, and vowed: "That's impossible, don't you know who I am?"

Playing with emotions is not his style.

Gao Yuanyuan tried to ask: "I heard that Qin Lan from your company is very popular now, what is your relationship with her?"

Ding Xiu smiled awkwardly: "We're all friends."

"Really?"

"More real than real gold."

The two have a deep friendship, and they are good friends who know everything about each other. This cannot be faked.

Gao Yuanyuan half-believed that there must be something wrong with Ding Xiu and Qin Lan. They had met in the courtyard a few years ago, and she was not blind, so why couldn't she see it.

It's just that she was also a little uncertain about who would "deeply" understand Ding Xiu first, herself or Qin Lan.

If anyone knew Ding Xiu first, it must be her first. The two met when they were filming the dead martial arts, and Ding Xiu was still little transparent at that time.

But it's hard to say if the relationship is confirmed.

Before talking about their relationship, I was busy filming for a while, and rarely saw Ding Xiu. Ding Xiu and Qin Lan belonged to the same company, and they got tired of being together every day. Facing such a beautiful woman, it is normal to have some stories.

So she didn't dare to push Ding Xiu too hard. If it turned out that she was a latecomer, it would be a lot of fun.

The past was too complicated, and she didn't have many people she liked, so she didn't want to pursue it anymore, as long as Ding Xiu could clean it up.

"Okay, let me just trust you and remind you that bigamy is against the law. Brother Xiu, you don't want to go to jail, do you?"

Ding Xiu: "..."

Everything is good in modern society, but this is not good.

Traditional virtues are not inherited.

But I heard that as long as you don't get a certificate, you'll be fine.

In the next few days, Wu Jing ran here when he had nothing to do, and his actual combat Sanda has been greatly improved, and he initially has actual combat capabilities.

It is no exaggeration to say that with his current strength, beating two ordinary people is like playing.

However, Ding Xiu has improved the most. From Wu Jing, he has learned a lot, combined with ancient martial arts, his strength has stepped up to a higher level.

If the current Ding Xiu competes with the Ding Xiu hundreds of years ago, he will definitely win.

In September, Wang Baoqiang planned to treat Ding Xiu to dinner when he received his film salary. It happened that Wu Jing was going to Hong Kong Island, and the three of them met for a drink.

Huang Bo didn't come, he was already in the group and couldn't leave.

In the restaurant box, Wang Baoqiang took out a bank card and put it in front of Ding Xiu.

"Brother Xiu, I borrowed this from you before, it's a bit late, sorry."

Not being polite at all, Ding Xiu put it in his pocket casually: "It's good if you know it's late, drink two more glasses."

Grinning, Wang Baoqiang picked up his wine glass and said, "Today I won't go home until I'm drunk."

The two had known each other very early. Ding Xiu was a few years older than him, and he used to take good care of him. Apart from admiring Ding Xiu's martial arts prowess, his eclectic and free-spirited personality was also very suitable for him.

If you were an ordinary person, faced with repaying the money, you might say that there is no rush right now, you use it first, but the card has already kicked your pocket.

Ding Xiu is different, no nonsense.

Very natural.

In fact, he should also take it for granted, making everyone uncomfortable.

After drinking a large glass of wine, Wang Baoqiang felt his stomach burning. Seeing this, Wu Jing persuaded him, "No, drink less."

Wiping his mouth, Wang Baoqiang said, "It's okay, I can drink."

He doesn't like to drink, because it's not a good thing. It's neither filling nor nutritious. To some extent, it's not as good as orange juice.

But drinking is about the atmosphere, and there are few drinks when you meet a bosom friend. For some reason, he feels very happy drinking with Ding Xiu and the others.

This feeling is different from company dinners and crew dinners.

After all, drinking depends on who you drink with.

"Brother Xiu, this time we are filming a TV series about the military. The director said that he wants to go to the army to experience life. I heard that you can also meet guns and tanks. Isn't it amazing?"

Before Ding Xiu could respond, Wu Jing gave a thumbs up: "Awesome."

It is not uncommon in the entertainment industry for actors to experience life before starting the machine. Many people have done it, but it is awesome to be able to go to the army.

It can only be done if the crew is strong and the producer has a deep background.

Touch a gun, drive a tank, let alone think about it.

Wu Jing from a family of martial arts felt his blood boil when he heard it.

After pouring himself a drink, Ding Xiu said unhurriedly, "Are you playing a soldier? Then you have to work hard."

To be honest, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think Bao Qiang looked like a soldier.

He is not tall, looks ugly, has the more popular slanted bangs, single eyelids, is a bit silly and dull, loves to speak the dialect of his hometown, and is a bit rustic.

It doesn't fit the image of a soldier at all.

Even if Wu Jing was cast as a soldier, he would be better than him. At least Wu Jing looks muscular, energetic, with a straight waist, with passion and drive.

Bao Qiang laughed, two rows of white teeth, a proper fool.

Wang Baoqiang nodded heavily: "Brother Xiu, thank you for your encouragement, I am much more confident when you say it."

Wu Jing: "..."

Where does this sound like encouragement?

"Baoqiang, don't be angry if I say something, why did the director like you?"

Going to act as a soldier with this image is making trouble.

Wu Jing was a little jealous.

Scratching his head and giggling, Wang Baoqiang said, "They said they were looking for a rural kid, who was very silly and naive, so they found me."

Wu Jing was convinced: "Their vision is really good."

When he saw Wang Baoqiang at first sight, he thought he was a fool from the countryside, but after getting along with him for a long time, he knew that this boy was not honest at all, and he was a very thieves.

It can only be said that the appearance is too deceiving.

Wang Baoqiang squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "That's right, my agent said that I will go this route in the future."

Ding Xiu said with a playful smile, "Stop honing your acting skills?"

He remembered that Bao Qiang didn't say that before, he said that he wanted to challenge different roles.

"Damn, I was young and ignorant before."

I have never been beaten by society before.

Now I can hardly afford to eat, and some plays are good, so I dare to pick and choose.

Besides, what the agent said was not unreasonable, his appearance was like that of a country boy, and he also had a foundation in the previous World Without Thieves, which showed that the audience liked this.

Have a full meal first, and then consider transformation after becoming popular, this is the exact words of the agent.

"Brother Jing, let's go back to the mainland after filming this movie." After drinking a bottle of wine, Ding Xiu opened another bottle and said, "The mainland has developed very well in the past few years. With your popularity, the two movies will come back soon." .”

Wu Jing chuckled: "You're young, let me tell you, Hong Kong movies are showing signs of recovery, and martial arts movies over there are also very popular in the past two years."

"My buddy is just in his early years, and it's too late to strike while the iron is hot, so how could he come back."

His tone was so firm, if he hadn't been drunk and cried a few days ago and said that Hong Kong Island is not easy to mix with, Ding Xiu would have thought he was not alone.

Wu Jing, who was still not drunk, said: "Don't be dissatisfied. The Hong Kong film market is getting better every year. In [-], Infernal Affairs [-], Infernal Affairs [-], Infernal Affairs [-], mobile units, big guys have great wisdom."

"Kung Fu in [-], New Police Story, Rivers and Lakes, Thousands of Changes, Dark Night in Mong Kok, This Year's Initial D, Killing Wolf, Underworld, If You Love..."

"Almost every year, there are three to five blockbuster movies. Since last year, there have been more and more martial arts movies. I think this is an opportunity."

Speaking of this, what else can Ding Xiu say, he can only hand in his hand: "I wish you a big hit at the box office, and take me with you if you have the opportunity."

It is true that many high-quality Hong Kong films have been released in recent years, but the development speed of the mainland is much faster than that of Hong Kong Island, almost the same every year.

Ding Xiu has made relatively few movies, so I don't know much about it, but in terms of TV dramas, the popular dramas are basically a model of cooperation between Hong Kong Island and the Mainland.

Anyone with a little ability and connections is relying on the mainland.

A few years ago, it was Liu Dehua, Cheng Long and the others, and now more and more actor come to act.

Wu Jing was still foolishly guarding the three-acre land, not knowing what to do.

Patting Ding Xiu on the shoulder, Wu Jing laughed and said, "Gou Fugui, don't forget each other, I understand, drink, keep drinking..."

After drinking a glass of wine, Wu Jing felt mixed feelings.

He is a bit like Gao Yuanyuan said that he hopes that his friends are good, but he doesn't want his friends to be better than him.

A few years ago, Ding Xiu was much worse than him, and the two were not at the same level at all.

As a result, every time the two meet, Ding Xiu's status changes, and he is no longer inferior to him at his peak.

As for him, his development on Hong Kong Island was very slow and difficult. Now he managed to get ahead, and if he didn't show himself, he wouldn't come back if he was killed.

After a meal of wine, Wang Baoqiang and Wu Jing left and went to their own future.

In order to avoid Gao Yuanyuan, Ding Xiu came to the company when he had nothing to do, flipped through scripts, read novels, and chatted with the little sister at the front desk. His days were comfortable.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

"Enter!"

Yang Siwei knocked on Ding Xiu's office door with a cup of coffee, and said with a smile, "Brother Xiu, you have worked hard."

In front of the computer, Ding Xiu played minesweeper without raising his head: "It's okay."

Yang Siwei asked cautiously: "Well, brother Xiu, how did you read the script you took back earlier?"

It has been more than half a month, and Ding Xiu took back the accumulated scripts to read, but there was no sound at all.

The producer has urged it many times.

Ding Xiu picked up the coffee and took a sip: "What's the matter, are you in a hurry?"

"A little bit, you know, it takes time to finalize the contract, memorize the script, and arrange the itinerary before joining the group."

Her performance depends entirely on Ding Xiu. If Ding Xiu doesn't take over the job, her salary will be very little, so don't rush.

"That's it." Ding Xiu nodded, and thought for a few seconds: "I don't want to take the show just yet."

Yang Siwei was about to cry, and forced a smile on his face: "Fan Binbin just sent a notebook over, do you want to read it?"

Ding Xiu didn't care: "What book?"

He didn't want to take any notebooks, he should enjoy the money he made, so what's the rush.

The reason for asking was because he knew that Fan Binbin would definitely call him to ask him later, and it was a bit unreasonable to say that he hadn't read the script.

"Movies, Apple."
