This actor wants to pay more

Chapter 241 Starlight Ceremony
Wu Jing didn't have any plans, he just opened his mouth and asked for 500 million. Of course, it was impossible for Ding Xiu to give him money, and 50 million could be considered.

Wang Baoqiang was so poor that he had no money to lend him.

Huang Bo has a little bit, but not much, that is, he ate the crazy stone fever, had a period of commercial performances, and made a little money.

The money can only be said to make his life better in the next year or two, and he can't even buy a house.

cast a movie?The water splash can't even hit it.

"Brother Xiu, open the door, I know you're home!"

The next day, Ding Xiu punched in the yard, and the door was slammed.

Zhao Liying on the side asked, "Do you need me to open the door?"

"Go."

Wu Jing came to look for him, he probably knew what it was, it was nothing more than borrowing money, no, it would be better to borrow money, at least he would be able to pay it back.

With Wu Jing's ability, he can pay off several million in two or three years at most.

The problem now is that he is looking for investment, which is different from borrowing money. If the investment loses, it is a loss, and no one can blame anyone.

As far as Wu Jing's current state is concerned, Ding Xiu dare not vote anyway.

"Brother Xiu, didn't you disturb your sleep?" Wu Jing smiled and walked in with a box of Moutai in his arms.

With just a glance, Ding Xiu knew that it was a good thing that had passed through the years, but when he thought that this guy came to ask for money, he couldn't be happy at all.

"Welcome to drink, but don't ask for money."

Wu Jing put the wine on the stone table, sat down by himself, and said with a smile: "Are you asking for money? How could I ask for money? I came here today just to ask you for a drink."

"Heiquan's box office on the first day came out. The first day's box office was 60, almost catching up with the total box office on Hong Kong Island. Isn't this happy, so I came to find you to drink and celebrate."

The total box office of Black Boxing on Hong Kong Island is more than 60 yuan, while that in the mainland is only 60 yuan a day. This indirectly shows a problem, the plate in the mainland is really big.

A castrated version of a movie that Huang Bo called illogical can win so many box offices, which has explained a lot of problems.

As long as the movie is not too bad, the audience can accept it.

This made Wu Jing even more convinced of his determination to be a director and make movies.

"You haven't let go of your kung fu. It's amazing." Seeing that Ding Xiu didn't answer, Wu Jing changed the subject: "I haven't practiced for a long time, and I only pick up the gun occasionally."

"I haven't seen you for a while, your boxing skills have become more exquisite."

Putting away his fists, Ding Xiu took a deep breath, picked up a towel and wiped his sweat: "You never leave your fists, and you never leave your mouth. If you don't advance in kung fu, you will fall back. If you don't practice it, it will rust."

He is different from Wu Jing and the others.

Wu Jing probably didn't practice much after leaving the martial arts team. He made a lot of money filming all day long, so he didn't have time to suffer.

If you shoot a black punch, you have to come back to find a sparring partner.

The same goes for Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianjie. When he cooperated with heroes, Li Lianjie's state was not like a person who often practiced martial arts.

Fighting all year round, Ding Xiu's sensitivity is still there, as long as he has time, he will punch a few times, or find a few masters to fight.

"Admiration, it's up to you to spread martial arts." Wu Jing cupped his hands and said with a smile, "There are quite a lot of masters on Hong Kong Island. I'll introduce you to a few when I have time."

"Don't introduce the three-legged cat, I'm not interested."

"Don't worry, you must be a master. Over there, the ancient martial arts school has more reservations, and there are also many small boxing styles. Many people have actual combat experience, and you will not be disappointed."

"That's okay, I have a chance to take a trip."

Seeing that Ding Xiu wanted to go back to the room, Wu Jing smiled awkwardly, coughed, got up and said, "I didn't think carefully about what happened last night, don't take it for granted."

Ding Xiu was stunned, no money, and such a good thing, then we can talk.

"Let's not talk about the past, this wine is good, let's have a drink."

"Don't move, I'll drive."

The Moutai wine glass is very small, and Ding Xiu poured down a glass in one sip, without any taste. Just as he was about to taste the second glass, Wu Jing said:

"Yesterday I was too hasty. I asked you to invest without preparing anything. It really shouldn't be. After I went back, I made a story outline overnight, and I brought it here for you today."

"puff!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Ding Xiu felt that the wine was going to lose its flavor all of a sudden, and he was really afraid of what would happen. To say that he refused Wu Jing yesterday was half-joking and half-serious. Today, he came to the door with the outline of the story, and it was a bit hard to say that he refused directly.

Take a look at the story up and down.

Quickly took out the outline of the story, and Wu Jing handed it over: "I had an idea for this story a long time ago, and I think it will work."

Ding Xiu opened it and looked at it. In order to repay the favor of the female nurse, a young man went to kill a powerful enemy. In the end, the young man saved his lover with his life with one enemy against a hundred.

The story is a bit tragic, but it is much better than the previous Black Fist. There is a love story interspersed in the middle, and overall it is okay.

As for the details, we have to wait for the script to come out completely.

Ding Xiu finished reading the outline of the story with less than [-] words in a few minutes. After closing the notebook, he asked, "How did you calculate your budget?"

This is a bit big, Wu Jing scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.

The budget includes actors' fees, framing, equipment, post-production, release publicity, etc.

These are definitely not something that can be done in a day or two. It requires market research, precise calculations by a professional team, and also depends on whether the actors to be hired have a schedule, the price of the filming location, and so on.

So far, he only has an outline of the story, how can he come up with so many things.

The corners of Ding Xiu's mouth curled up, and he said, "How about this, you first make a market survey and a shooting plan, and we'll talk later."

Staring at Ding Xiu, Wu Jing said, "Brother Xiu, you said this, don't look back, I made it out and you said no."

Ding Xiu curled his lips: "If you want to say that, then I don't dare to ask for it. You need someone to vote for your project before it's done. There's no such thing as that."

"Ahem, that's not what I mean. Forget it. I won't say anything. I'll go back and get the plan."

Wu Jing is a vigorous and resolute person, and he does what he says. He just got up and did not take two steps. He turned his head and said, "The investment in this movie will not be too high. I will control it within 500 million."

"I'll take care of the big ones. If you want to look after me later, just help me with the small ones."

Ding Xiu didn't turn his head, and made an OK gesture.

Wu Jing grinned and left happily.

Ding Xiu said so, so he probably wouldn't lie to him.

In fact, Ding Xiuzhen didn't intend to lie to him. If the investment was within 500 million and Wu Jing hadn't lied, the big head would have to pay 300 million, otherwise what would he be called a big head.

With the remaining 200 million, we can get a few bosses to work together, and Qin Chao Entertainment can get together a little more, and things will be done.

In the end, even if it was a loss, Wu Jing was the big one, and there were so many people who shared the rest of the risk, so they couldn't lose much, and maybe he didn't even have to pay.

……

It was half a month after Wu Jing saw Ding Xiu again, and this time he brought a lot of materials, not only the outline of the story, but also the framework and detailed outline, as well as the preliminary selection of actors.

"I'm a director, a part-time male number one. In addition, I also need to find a director who is good at martial arts, and let him share the pressure."

"As for the male number two, if you don't mind Brother Xiu, I'll leave it to you. The two of us join forces, and the martial arts movies we make will definitely look good."

"Bao Qiang should be idle next year. I heard he is also good at martial arts. Brother Bo is also my family. We won't lose our wealth to outsiders..."

Wu Jing's abacus struck bang bang.

This time black boxing failed, in addition to the logic of the story, one of the reasons was that the actors couldn't support the box office, and there were too few big stars.

Ding Xiu is famous, popular, and has a good reputation. With him joining, he should be able to attract more audiences.

Although Wang Baoqiang doesn't look good, he has nothing to say about his acting skills. The first movie he starred in in his life won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer, and he even won the best actor abroad.

He has seen Huang Bo's Crazy Stone, and his acting skills are superb, so it's not a pity.

Of course, there is another reason for using his own people, the price is cheap, and they are all his own brothers, so the lion will not open his mouth.

"You think it's beautiful?" Ding Xiu looked at Wu Jing's plan and said lightly: "Let's not talk about whether I have time or not. You may not move."

"Soldier Assault? Movie or TV show?"

"The TV series is invested by Huayi. It has a big director, a big production, and a strong cast. I personally went to the military camp to film the scene, and the publicity is also very strong. If you pay attention to the entertainment news, you should pay attention."

"If nothing else happens, Baoqiang will be popular this year."

Wu opened his mouth wide in shock: "So big?"

He always thought that Bao Qiang was just a small role, although he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer, he also filmed with Andy Lau and the others.

Unexpectedly, they all became Hua Yi's favorite male protagonists, and the new play will be broadcast immediately.

If Ding Xiu had guessed correctly, he really couldn't afford to hire Baoqiang next year.

"What about Huang Bo, he should be out of action in the second half of the year, right?"

"He's kind enough to invite you. As long as you're not afraid of a Qingdao dialect coming out of the movie, please invite him."

Wu Jing: "..."

His movies are shot on Hong Kong Island, because actors are paid cheaply over there. Generally, a couple of RMB 20 or [-] can hire a good and well-known actor. Plus, he’s been there for a few years and knows a few friends. , with the cheek to pull a few into the group.

Otherwise, a budget of less than 500 million won’t be able to afford it in the mainland.

Huang Bo is from the mainland, and he is most famous for his dialect. If it were put in a Hong Kong film, it would be too out of harmony.

"Then I'm going to be cold?" Wu Jing looked a little desperate.

In his plan, Ding Xiu, Baoqiang, and Huang Bo are very important. Now that none of them can come, the actors have to re-plan and the budget has to be changed.

"You can't make a movie without us?" Ding Xiu squinted and said mercilessly: "Then you might as well stop making it."

"That's not what I mean, it's just that I was a little caught off guard. I still have to shoot. I'll think about it again. Let's stop here today and look for you later."

Wu Jing glanced at the flowerbed in the yard, and said, "Your flowers are pretty good, I'll pick a few and go back to play."

Ding Xiu remained motionless: "Two days ago I picked a few bunches and went back to the company. When I came back, I was scolded by Gao Yuanyuan for a long time, and I almost had nothing to eat."

Wu Jing chuckled and said, "You picked roses, right?"

"Young and ignorant, alas, let's not mention it."

Gao Yuanyuan thought he was picking them off to give to Qin Lan, and almost cried, made trouble, and hanged himself, so much so that now he didn't dare to move these flowers.

In fact, he did give it to Qin Lan.

"Go out and turn left. There is a flower shop on the second street called Youjian Flower Shop. If you want it, where can you buy it? You can get a membership card when you buy a vase, and you will get a [-]% discount on buying flowers in the future."

Wu Jing laughed and said: "Understood, but your family's marketing strategy is good. You can buy vases and send flowers, thanks to which you can figure it out."

A bouquet of flowers is only a few dollars, and the vase must be more expensive than the flowers, especially the more delicate vases. After buying the vases, you need to change the flowers regularly. They directly offer a [-]% discount. This is a bound customer.

Ding Xiu waved his hands in boredom: "I'm not that interested, Gao Yuanyuan did it."

Jia Jingwen stayed here for a few days before leaving, and then Gao Yuanyuan started to turn around the flower shop, and she did it very impressively.

These in the yard are samples and are not for sale.

So strictly speaking, Gao Yuanyuan's flower shop actually buys goods and sells them for marketing.

Ding Xiu was not interested in this kind of small shop because he hated the slow money coming.

If he has the time, he will pick up a commercial performance, and he will get tens of thousands of dollars in half a day, so he will make more trips, and it will be easy for him to get hundreds of thousands of dollars a month. Isn't this faster than getting money from a flower shop?
"Brother Xiu is very lucky." Wu Jing cupped his hands and left with a smile.

Ding Xiu shook his head and sighed, and rubbed his waist subconsciously. The one-three-five, two-four-six plan was a bit overwhelming, and he had one day off every week. After a long time, who could stand it.

"Kid, do you have a lot of question marks"

"Why are other people reading manga over there?"

"But I am learning to draw and talking to the piano"

"Others are playing games, but I am reciting my ABC against the wall"

Just as Wu Jing left, Ding Xiu's cell phone rang. The ringtone was Jay's new song Listen to Mom, and the caller ID showed Zhao Liying.

"What's the matter?"

"Brother Xiu, come to live. There is an award ceremony this week that requires you to attend."

"Place?"

"Peking, right in front of our house, half an hour by car."

"The specific content of the event is the Starlight Ceremony held by Tencent. The content covers the inventory of songs, movies, TV, fashion and other fields. It aims to find, encourage, and showcase outstanding artists and events of the year, and promote the development of the entertainment industry and the Internet industry."

"This Starlight Ceremony will be held for the first time. At that time, many artists in the circle will come. What Sister Yang means is that I hope you can come. We cannot afford to offend Tencent. This is also a very good opportunity."

After talking a lot, Ding Xiu still didn't understand what this Starlight Ceremony was about.

"Can you say it simply?"

"Give you an award."

"Isn't this very clear? I see, and you will arrange it then."

Apart from competing with masters, Ding Xiu is generally not very interested in things that don't make money, except for awarding awards.

What he lacks most now is a trophy.

In Yang Siwei's words, as long as the trophy is in place, the next stage will be to sprint to the first-line artist rank, with a lot of money and an endless number of leading men.

On the weekend, Ding Xiu put on a suit and combed his hair meticulously to come to the Starlight Ceremony. When he first entered the venue, he saw acquaintances.

Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, Fan Binbin, Hu Ge, Liu Tao, Liu Yifei, Su Youpeng, Huang Xiaoming...

"Brother Xiu, here!" Wang Baoqiang jumped up and waved to Ding Xiu.

Seeing him and Huang Bo, Ding Xiu gave up hope for this Starlight Ceremony, and even invited these two products, which shows that the grade is not high enough.

This activity has no future, sooner or later it will be cold...
