This actor wants to pay more

Chapter 250 Arriving on Hong Kong Island for the First Time, Crossing the Dragon
Resting at home for a while, Ding Xiu returned to the company again and found that the big guy looked at him a little differently.

"Brother Xiu!"

"Hello Brother Xiu."

"This is Brother Xiu, it's different from what you saw in the movie theater."

"Not to mention, the muscles are quite developed, and it doesn't take much effort to lift Fan Binbin."

"It can be seen that I usually practice squats a lot."

Being pointed at from behind, Ding Xiu turned black and wanted to explain a few words, but he didn't know what to say.

Was it his fault that he dedicated his life to art?

That's right!
These people are nasty.

In the office, Zhao Liying, who went to work early in the morning, was busy cleaning.

"Brother Xiu, good morning."

"Good morning."

"any drinks?"

"Let's boil water, there will be a trial outfit with wolf teeth later."

"Ok."

In the whole company, Zhao Liying should be the most calm person facing Ding Xiu after the release of Apple.

Because she was there when the filming took place.

Now the level of splendor seen in the cinema is not even one-tenth of the scene.

When she heard female colleagues whispering about Ding Xiu's figure, she didn't bother to participate, it was too childish.

If she told about the scenes that were filmed at that time, it would probably shock their jaws.

Turning on the computer, Ding Xiu searched the Tianya forum, clicked on one of the forums, and a serial novel called Ghost Blowing Lantern popped up.

He's been reading this novel for a long time, but it's just a group of dog authors who update slowly.

"If the author can't do it, find a novel website to publish it, and change the fee. Your current update speed is slow."

"Are you saving us money?"

"How about everyone crowdfunding, buying the copyright, and being able to work full-time with money."

"Dude, a brother next door saw that you were slow to update, so he wrote a notebook of tomb robbers himself. Do you know? His update speed is much faster than yours."

The novel was published on the forum, and everyone can read it. Ding Xiu turned over the floor, and most readers urged it to be updated.

The author doesn't know what he does in real life. It seems that he is not full-time. Writing novels is just a hobby, so the update is very slow.

Ding Xiu followed the tomb robbery notes mentioned by netizens and found this novel in other forums after a while. It has updated more than [-] words.

With Ding Xiu's speed of reading novels, more than [-] words would take him more than an hour. After reading it, he left a few words.

Glancing at the time in the lower right corner of the computer, Ding Xiu raised his head and said to Zhao Liying, "Is the person from the clothing company here yet?"

Zhao Liying put down the actor's self-cultivation book and said, "I'm on my way, I'll be there in a while."

"Ah." Sighing, Ding Xiu thought for a while, then turned his attention to the computer, flipped through the comment area for a while, and finally found the QQ group of Ghost Blowing Lantern, there are quite a few people in it, thousands of people.

"Where is the author's house? I want to send some souvenirs."

"Hahaha, it's another reminder. The author hasn't finished get off work yet, so come back tonight."

"Wait for the update on weekends, the author only has free code words at that time."

"Why isn't this novel published on the novel website?"

"I talked to the author yesterday, and it should be posted after a while."

"I'll do the math for the author, three thousand words per hour, 24 hours a day, and you can get [-] words in five hours, what the hell is eight thousand words this week."

"The novel is good. When the author comes out and tells him how much a month's salary is, I will double it and let him update it every day."

"Dare to ask the local tyrant brother's name?"

"Don't inquire about social affairs."

A few thousand yuan a month is a drizzle for Ding Xiu. Going to a better hotel can cost more than that for a meal.

It's not impossible for him to spend a little money to buy happiness.

……

"Brother Xiu, raise your hand."

"How about this suit?"

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

"Brother Xiu, we still need to design your hairstyle, do you think this will work?"

"Don't turn your head back, it's easy for the audience to play and cut your hair into pieces."

"This suit should be cheaper, and the quality should not be too good. The character of Abu is a desperado, and he doesn't need too good clothes."

"Perm and dye your hair, I like it a little yellow."

After more than two hours of turmoil, the first version of Abu Langya was finalized. His hair was long and slightly yellowish, and he was wearing an ordinary suit with black short sleeves and a necklace of Langya on his neck.

When Ding Xiu was trying on the outfit, people outside were watching through the transparent glass.

This is the first time this kind of project has been done in the company, and everyone is a little curious.

Behind the crowd, Yuan Shanshan tiptoed to join in the fun, barely able to see Ding Xiu's back, unable to squeeze in, she took a few steps back and stood on the side.

After a while, Ding Xiu left and the crowd dispersed. She found Yang Siwei who had just finished watching the excitement.

"Hello, my name is Yuan Shanshan, and I'm a student of Nortel's acting department. Is your company still recruiting artists?"

She submitted her resume online, and HR asked her to come to Yang Siwei for an interview. With the attitude of trying, she came.

It's just that Yang Siwei's appearance disappointed her a bit. She thought that the one who could be Ding Xiu's manager would be a strong woman with a strong aura.

Who knew that at such a young age, she still likes to eat melons to join in the fun.

"Recruitment." Looking Yuan Shanshan up and down, Yang Siwei said, "I've seen your resume, and you're in the same class as Yang Mi, right? You have no acting experience, and your specialty is dancing."

"It's not just dancing, I'm also interested in poetry recitation." Yuan Shanshan took out her resume from her bag and handed it in with a smile: "I won an award in the poetry recitation just held at school, and I'm also the captain of the cheerleading team. There have been many events."

Yang Siwei didn't even open her resume before, playing with the ballpoint pen in his hand, and said, "I don't look at things in school. If you come to our company, you can only start from the bottom."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Yuan Shanshan gritted her teeth and nodded: "As long as there is a chance, I am willing to start from the bottom."

Yang Siwei chuckled: "Everyone has opportunities, it depends on whether you can grasp them. Our company management is a bit strict. Let me tell you a few rules, see if you can accept them..."

The company wanted to expand its recruitment of brokers, so it planned to recruit a group of new recruits recently, and Yuan Shanshan just happened to meet them.

In all honesty, she has a good appearance, has distinctive looks, and has good dancing skills, all of which are plus points.

Yang Siwei put her at the bottom to exercise for a period of time, firstly to check her temperament, and secondly to exercise.

There are more and more people with a good background in the entertainment industry. If you want to go far, it depends on whether your personality can endure hardships, whether you have strong willpower, whether you are strong enough for yourself, and whether you have ambitions.

If it's the eldest lady who has a bad temper and is not self-motivated, it would be a waste of time to devote energy and resources to her.

After finishing the makeup work, Ding Xiu put on his coat and was about to leave work. He passed by Yang Siwei's work station and said with a smile, "Xiao Yang, have you brought a newcomer?"

"For those who came to report today, I don't know how many days they can survive."

"Help me take Xiao Zhao with you when you have time, our Xiao Zhao is also in good condition."

"Brother Xiu, stop joking. If Xiao Zhao enters the artist department, who will take care of you? You can't find anyone in the company who is more ingenious than her."

Ding Xiu thought for a few seconds and said, "That's right, then let's take a look."

Looking at Ding Xiu's back, Yang Sisi pondered, picked up his phone and sent a text message to Zhao Liying.

"Did you offend Brother Xiu recently?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'm busy with your work."

……

"Where is the holy brother?"

At night, Ding Xiu was lying at home reading the script, and someone sent a message on his mobile phone QQ, saying that the author of Ghost Blowing Lantern was online.

Zhang Muye is the author of Ghost Blowing Lantern. He just got off work and went shopping in the group today when he heard that he was adopted.

With a high moral character, he contacted Ding Xiu as soon as possible.

Ding Xiu typed with one hand and asked, "What do you do and how much do you pay per month?"

"Investment bank, do some futures, earn a little money to support your family."

"Don't do it, quit your job and write a novel."

Zhang Muye was in a dilemma: "Brother, I'm a few thousand a month old, if I don't do it, I won't do it?"

Putting down the script, Ding Xiu said, "I bought the copyright of your novel. From tomorrow onwards, you will code at home and submit manuscripts to me regularly."

Zhang Muye was overjoyed: "The boss is grand, what's the name of the boss, I'll arrange a role for you, with a beautiful woman, if you don't like that role, just tell me, I'll write it to death."

There are many readers who urge him to update, and there are also many people who scold him.

But there are only a small number of people who donate. Facing this small group of readers, grandpa, he gave them all.

Ding Xiu is his grandfather now, and the sponsor's father bought the copyright, so of course he has to listen to him, and he can write whatever he wants to see.

"No, you can write according to your own ideas, and you can submit the manuscript on time every day. I will give you the price of fifty thousand characters. What do you think?"

Fifty thousand words, 300 yuan for updating 90.00 words a day, easily over [-] a month, crushing [-]% of nine online writers, this business is booming.

Without even thinking about it, Zhang Muye agreed: "Boss, is there a word limit? My novel may be a bit long."

If possible, he would like to write for the rest of his life. Even if he dies, he will keep it secret and leave it to his son to write, so that his son can earn Ding Xiu's money.

As for selling several million copyrights, he never thought about remakes of TV series.

Not to mention his novels serialized on the Internet, even those famous writers who wrote traditional books can sell millions of copyrights.

Before Ding Xiu asked for a price, he serialized it on the forum for free. Not to mention that he didn't earn a dime, and even paid for the Internet fee. He didn't even think about making money when he wrote this stuff, it was just a hobby.

Now I can earn more than [-] yuan a month, I dare not even think about it.

"You can write whatever you want, there is no character limit, and I will notify you when I don't want to read it."

"Tomorrow, I will ask the lawyer to sort out the contract and send it to you. After you sign it, return it to me."

To Ding Xiu, buying the copyright of a novel was just a trivial matter after dinner.

But for other readers, it's a big deal. Hearing that the group owner said that it will be updated every day in the future, the group is fried.

"I lost it. I will work hard to make money in the future. When I see a novel I like, I will directly support the author and let him write it for me to read alone."

"Is this the world of big bosses? They bought the copyright if they didn't agree with each other."

"Can we watch it later?"

"Should be able to read it, tell the big brother, wait for the big brother to pass the first hand, and then post it for us to have fun."

"What you said upstairs is a bit weird."

……

One month after its release, Apple released it. The mainland box office was 3000 million, plus the Hong Kong Island's 800 million, and the domestic box office was 800 million. It was directly fried.

The two protagonists who have become famous have different opportunities in their careers.

Fan Binbin set up a studio there and found a lot of resources to cooperate with him, while Ding Xiu and Wu Jing studied the movie Spike every day.

In October, Ding Xiu came to Hong Kong Island after applying for a permit.

In the evening, Wu Jing took him shopping and walked in the street night market on Hong Kong Island. Ding Xiu felt small at first, and old at the second.

It feels no different from ordinary county towns.

In his memory, these streets looked like this in the Hong Kong movies of the 90s, and they still look like this now.

The only difference is that there are much fewer Young and Dangerous.

"There's actually nothing interesting here." With a cup of milk tea in his hand, Wu Jing said, "It's more about feelings, and you can see the filming locations in the movie everywhere."

"The other thing is to relax. There are many street performers on Hong Kong Island, and the common people are not surprised. If you run around in slippers, no one cares about you."

Hong Kong Island is a small place, with many artists, and the entertainment industry developed early. In the 80s and [-]s, the streets were full of movies. After decades, ordinary people have become accustomed to it.

"That's all." With his hands in his pockets, Ding Xiu sighed.

No wonder Hong Kong films are in decline, the plate is too small, and the actors have no fresh blood input, and only those few people are acting over and over again.

"Our current place is called Causeway Bay. Young and Dangerous was taken on this street. Would you like me to take a photo for you?"

"Forget it, it's nothing interesting, I'll go back after shopping, I have something to do tomorrow."

"I know, it's about pier, I understand, so why don't you buy some gifts and just go there empty-handed?"

"Take a taxi and go to Queen's Road."

Cheng Xiaodong and Yuan Bing are all in Hong Kong Island, we haven't seen each other for a long time, it's rare to come here, it's really not good to go there empty-handed.

The next day, Ding Xiu took his things to Cheng Xiaodong's company, and was dragged to have a drink until the afternoon. He didn't rest for a few hours. It was just dark, and he was taken by Yuan Bing to experience Hong Kong Island. nightlife.

When I woke up at noon the next day, I felt fluttering when I walked.

Before he recovered, Wu Jing took him to visit Cheng Long.

Spike's director, Li Zizhong, is a member of Cheng's class. He has cooperated with Wu Jing in black boxing before, and the two have a good relationship. This time, he was specially borrowed from Cheng's class.

Rather than borrowing, it's better to talk about cooperation, because Langya's martial arts team is all members of Cheng's family.

Using someone else's director, using someone else's team, of course you have to say hello to the boss. On this three-acre land, it is not a joke to offend Cheng Long.

When they arrived at the appointed hotel, the two waited for more than ten minutes. Cheng Long showed up with bodyguard Lu Huiguang and several members of the Cheng family class.

"Brother, long time no see."

"I haven't seen Ding Xiu for a long time. I wish you a smooth start-up. If you need any help, just let me know. Don't be polite."

"Thank you, brother, I feel relieved with your words."

"Brother Xiu, hello." Lu Huiguang, Cheng Long's bodyguard, smiled and nodded at Ding Xiu.

"You guys know each other?" Wu Jing was a little surprised.

"I know." Ding Xiu stretched out his hand to shake it: "Brother Guang is one of the few masters I have ever met."

The muay thai champion, the two fought against each other in the Shinhwa crew, and it was a long time since they parted.

Lu Huiguang grinned and said, "I'll introduce you to some experts some other day, and I promise not to disappoint you."

"Okay." Ding Xiu's eyes lit up.
