This actor wants to pay more

Chapter 223 A New Play

"New Shanghai Beach, is it a remake?" Seeing the words on the cover, Ding Xiu frowned.

He has acted in many remakes, such as Tian Long Ba Bu, Swordsman, and Condor Heroes. To be honest, if it wasn't for making money, he would feel sick.

I have been in the industry for six years, and I have been in this small circle all the time.

In the past, Wu Jing said that he didn't want to have a fixed filming path, but he didn't understand it at the time. He felt that it was enough to make money, and it didn't matter what he filmed.

Kind of empathizes now.

"It's a remake, but it's not a complete one." Yang Siwei, who has read the script, explained: "The new Shanghai Beach is just similar to the previous ones in terms of general framework, but the content and character image are different."

"Because the length is longer, the characters are much richer and more vivid."

Shanghai Bund is also a well-known TV series. Several versions were filmed on Hong Kong Island. The most famous one was in 1980, Zhou Runfa and Zhao Yazhi played Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng, which was popular all over the country.

When the opening song comes out, all the young and old will hum along.

After Chow Yun Fat, there were several remakes in Shanghai Bund, but there was not much spark in the field of TV dramas, and the bright spot was the movie version.

Zhang Guorong and Andy Lau starred in that one.

The cooperation between the two top players of the year caused quite a stir.

The difference between Ding Xiu's version of the TV series and the old version is the thickness of the script. Zhou Runfa's version only has 25 episodes.

The length is short, the charm of the characters cannot be developed, and the content of the story is limited.

The current version has more than 40 episodes, and the story volume is much larger, because the content is long, and each character has a specific length.

There is the director's name under the name of the script, and Ding Xiu read it out: "Gao Xi, this name looks familiar."

Having been in the industry for several years, he is no longer the novice at the beginning. He can name most of the more popular directors in the market.

The one who looks familiar to him must be a famous director.

Yang Siwei opened the mouth and said: "People born in the 60s, graduated from the director of Beidian, have been in the industry for more than ten years, have filmed the days of going to the sea, chasing the sun tribe, dancing in the sky, roosters crowing and hens laying eggs, married for ten years, the sky of history , take the wrong car, happiness is like a flower waiting for drama.”

"You may not be familiar with the TV series mentioned above. You just need to know that you are a well-known director who has won many awards and is very capable."

Ding Xiu automatically ignored the first half of Yang Siwei's words. He has won awards, is strong, and is a well-known director. These words are indeed enough for him.

Generally, such big directors are not short of coal bosses to invest, which shows that Xinshangtan's funds are still available.

Sufficient funds, a famous director, the next thing is a good script and a good cast.

Substituting myself into the last one, there is only one good script left.

Opening the script, Ding Xiu looked carefully. The character he played was Xu Wenqiang, a patriotic young college student. He first came to Shanghai to meet Ding Li, who was at the bottom of the rivers and lakes. He fell in love with Feng Chengcheng, and worked with the tycoon Feng Jingyao...

The script given by the producer is only a small part, and the character of Xu Wenqiang can barely be seen, as well as the vague framework.

After flipping through, Ding Xiu picked it up and read it again without saying a word.

After a long time, I closed the script and said to Yang Siwei who was still waiting: "Communicate with the producer, I need a more complete script."

"I will handle it."

Yang Siwei was mixed with joy and sorrow, and he was happy that Ding Xiu didn't immediately reject it, which showed that he was still interested.

What worries me is that I didn't agree right away, and I want to read the script later, which means that I am not satisfied at the moment, and the requirements are very high.

Sure enough, Ding Xiu couldn't be fooled anymore, he acted in a lot of plays, got a lot of money, and had a high vision.

……

Yang Siwei went to ask the producer for the complete script, and Ding Xiu stopped playing games, but searched for stories about Shanghai Beach online.

When Yang Siwei came back again, he had already watched the movie version of New Shanghai Beach in multiples, and knew a lot about the story content of the TV series version.

Including some comments from netizens and forum comments.

Yang Siwei gave Ding Xiu the script that was still smelling of ink: "It's just printed, it's hot."

It was indeed hot, warm, and Ding Xiu warmed his hands. This time the script was much thicker than last time, and it all told Xu Wenqiang's story.

Although there are some changes in the process, the ending is no different from the movie version or the old version.

Brothers kill each other, and Xu Wenqiang hangs in Ding Li's hands.

"Brother Xiu, how is it?" Yang Siwei said, "This is a good character, I'm not talking nonsense, your temperament is very suitable for acting in this kind of drama about the struggle between the rivers and lakes, if you play it this year, it will be broadcast next year, it will definitely be popular."

Ding Xiu has a refined appearance, but he has a quack air in his bones. Anyone who knows him well knows this.

If it wasn't for the wrong times, he would probably be stuck in a game nine times out of ten.

Playing Jianghu and gang roles, he can handle them very well, and his temperament is very good.

Putting down the script, Ding Xiu said in a deep voice, "Xu Wenqiang is too righteous, and his temperament is a bit against my temperament. Doing so many good things for the country and the people is not in line with my style."

Yang Siwei rolled his eyes: "It's just filming, there is no need to be serious."

In private, I have never seen Ding Xiu do anything utterly wicked and immoral.

Art comes from life and is higher than life. No one is the same as drama. It is pretty good to have [-] to [-]% similarities.

"I'm quite interested in the role of Ding Li. Can you find me the script?"

"Ah this..."

Yang Siwei couldn't hold back anymore, so he didn't want Xu Wenqiang to act like Ding Li.

Although the roles of the two roles are very important, Xu Wenqiang is the male lead and Ding Li is the second male.

It's not easy to play the first male lead these days, don't take advantage of the opportunity, and play the second male lead, ordinary people can't do this kind of thing.

With his legs crossed, Ding Xiu leaned on the armrest of the chair with one hand, propped his chin and said, "I don't have to play the lead role, I just want to read the script."

If you don't want to play a role, why watch him?Yang Siwei was helpless: "Okay, let me communicate."

It was more than 40 minutes after Yang Siwei entered the office for the third time.

Holding Ding Li's script in his hand.

This time, Ding Xiu turned over faster, with a serious expression.

After reading all of them, most of the sunlight in the office receded, the sky was full of red clouds outside, and the sun was setting.

"That's him." Ding Xiu breathed out, and said, "Tell the producer, I only have two requirements. First, Ding Li's name must be before Xu Wenqiang. Second, the salary should be the same as Xu Wenqiang."

The thickness of the two scripts is about the same, and Ding Li has quite a lot of plays, not much less than Xu Wenqiang.

And this character is relatively rich, from a small person background, selling pears at the fruit stand at the beginning, step by step from the small boss to the big boss, doing things ruthlessly, likes the woman his brother likes, and shoots his brother...

At the same time, he is also a dutiful son, and he respects Xu Wenqiang who saved his old mother's life. Even when he shot Xu Wenqiang, he couldn't bear it.

To sum it up, act domineeringly, show loyalty, talk about interests, have means, and be flexible.

Personality is much better than Xu Wenqiang, Xu Wenqiang is a good person from beginning to end.

Ding Xiu is most annoyed by this kind of person.
