This actor wants to pay more

Chapter 293 Brother Xiu, a generation of grandmasters can't do without you

There were many people on the yacht, most of the company's artists came, except Qin Lan who was filming.

Everyone drank and chatted, danced and laughed, and the atmosphere was very good.

Today's weather is fine, the sky is blue and cloudless, Ding Xiu, who had drunk a lot of wine, simply took off his shirt, sat shirtless in front of the yacht to enjoy the wind, under a parasol, wearing sunglasses, and took a nap at noon with his eyes closed.

Seeing that he was asleep, Qin Gang didn't let other people disturb him and gave him plenty of personal space.

When I woke up again, it was already afternoon.

Woke up by the cool breeze.

"Fuck, old Qin, why didn't you call me?"

When I woke up, the yacht was leaning against the shore, a large number of beauties in bikinis had almost left, and only a few rough men were still drinking.

Ding Xiu didn't know whether to say mmp or not.

Qin Gang was so drunk that his eyes were blurred and he said, "You've been working hard these days, so I'll let you rest for a while."

Even though he seldom cared about Ding Xiu, the number of visits to the set was few and far between, but he knew Ding Xiu's situation very well, it was useless to visit the set and give him food and drinks.

Sitting in the company, try your best to get a few more leading men, talk about a few more big endorsements, this is the help to Ding Xiu.

"Thank you so much."

When the cool wind blew, Ding Xiu felt cold all over his body. Ding Xiu couldn't take it anymore, so he went into the cabin barefoot to find some clothes to put on.

Qin Gang asked: "It's almost dark, are you still playing?"

"Nonsense, continue the night show, let someone buy some skewers, I'm a little hungry."

In the evening, on the deck, Ding Xiu drank and ate skewers. Compared with the daytime, the meeting was not so lively, and the few people left were just chatting and bragging.

When you are tired from drinking, look at the thousands of lights on the shore.

Looking at the other side from the sea is quite a novel feeling, with a special flavor.

Relaxed, comfortable, leisurely, as if the world slowed down all of a sudden.

Ding Xiu lived a day like this for a month.

Until Wang Jiawei's arrival broke his peaceful life.

"Brother Xiu, you are so elegant, you really know how to enjoy life."

Wang Sunglasses was holding a glass of red wine, sitting opposite Ding Xiu, and said with a smile.

"Director Wang wants to see me?" Ding Xiu was wearing beach shorts, with a cigar in his hand, leaning against the sofa with his back, his legs crossed, and red wine on the coffee table in front of him.

The company's team building ended within a few days, and Qin Gang and Yang Siwei went back to do their own work.

A few hours ago, Qin Gang called and said that Wang Jiawei was looking for him. He didn't say anything on the phone, but just talked face to face, so he revealed the news that he was here.

Putting down his wine glass, Wang Jiawei smiled and said, "That's right, can't I come and see you if I have nothing to do?"

Ding Xiu: "..."

Is their relationship that good?

If I remember correctly, I only met three times in total. The first time I challenged the Eight Martial Arts, I had a quick glance in the teahouse, the second time I took pictures of Langya, he came to ask for Bajiquan, and the third time I directed Langya to shoot on the set.

Shooting all night was a waste of effort, afterward Wu Jing and the others re-shooted.

"Ahem, I really have something to do with you." Wang Jiawei didn't hide anything, and said seriously: "Do you still remember the new movie I told you about last year? After much deliberation, I still want to invite you to play an important role."

Ding Xiu waved his hand: "Director Wang, thank you for your appreciation, I also really want to act in your play, but the schedule really can't be adjusted."

There is no scene in Wang Shajing's drama that is not boring. I don't know how many years it has been since I went there. If you don't come back, your wife will remarry.

It's not worth making such a big sacrifice just to make some money.

Even if the filming of Wang Sunglasses won an award, he would not go.

"Don't, why don't you read the script first, I brought it with me." Ding Xiu refused without thinking, Wang Jiawei was anxious, and took the script out of his bag: "I have worked hard on this script for ten years. Year."

After ten years of sharpening his sword, his sincerity is indeed great, but it still cannot cover up the fact that he is gritty in filming.

Ding Xiu took the script politely, and smiled after glancing at it for a while.

The protagonist Ip Man!

That's right, it's just been released, and the popularity is very high.

God damn it, after ten years of hard work, I'm afraid I saw Ye Wen become popular, and I temporarily changed the name of the protagonist to gain a wave of popularity.

"Not bad, Director Wang, ten years ago you could have thought of filming Ip Man, but unfortunately, if you acted faster, there would be nothing wrong with Donnie Yen."

Ye Wen is a very unpopular martial arts senior, not to mention a layman, even in the martial arts circle, very few know this person, that is, the Wing Chun school is familiar with him.

Of course, all this refers to before the release of Ip Man this year.

After Ip Man's movie was released, this character became popular. Master Bruce Lee, Wing Chun master, folk hero, etc., have many labels.

But Ding Xiu knew that Wang Jiawei must not have known Ye Wen ten years ago.

"It's okay, it doesn't exist, everyone shoots their own." Wang Jiawei didn't blush at all, and said calmly: "The things I shoot are different from what they shoot. What I want to shoot is a story of martial arts, and what they shoot is a person. A martial arts story."

"I've seen your role in the lost martial arts. I wanted to cooperate with you for a long time. Your temperament is really suitable for an important character in my film. I sincerely invite you to play this time."

Ding Xiu didn't even raise his head, he continued to flip through the script, and said, "The character I'm playing is... a ray of sky?"

The outline is in front of the script, and the characters he wants to play are in the back.

Ding Xiu couldn't figure out what kind of circumstances Wang Jiawei would give this character this name.

Did you think of it while watching the movie?
"That's right, Yixiantian." Wang Jiawei said in a deep voice: "The male number one is Liang Chaowei, playing Ip Man, you are the male number two Yixiantian, the female Zhang Ziyi, and the female number two Song Huiqiao."

Liang Chaowei, Zhang Ziyi, Ding Xiu, and Song Huiqiao, if you can get these four together, it is definitely a big lineup.

They are all famous actors in China.

Liang Chaowei, the movie king gets soft hands, Zhang Ziyi, the international actress, Ding Xiu, Song Huiqiao, popular artists, very popular among the younger generation.

Ding Xiu narrowed his eyes for a moment, and continued to read the script indifferently.

Liang Chaowei's first male lead and his second male lead, this pairing is already considered a high-ranking one, not to mention Zhang Ziyi and Song Huiqiao also starred, which one is not more popular than him?

But when he thinks of Wang Jiawei's filming, Ding Xiu feels a pain in the ass.

Seeing that Ding Xiu was a little moved, Wang Jiawei continued to confuse: "Your role is very important. You have acted opposite Liang Chaowei, and you have emotional entanglements with the leading actress Zhang Ziyi. Your personality is very attractive."

"Rebel?"

"No, I don't have any villains in this film. In the general environment, everyone's choices have their own reasons. What I want to film is only the martial arts in the turbulent period. I want to film the martial arts, the philosophy of the rivers and lakes..."

In Wang Jiawei's mouth, the scenes of martial arts in the Republic of China are slowly revealed. Some people ran to open martial arts gyms to survive, some gathered righteous men for the righteousness of the family and the country, some assassinated the enemy with their martial arts, and some were greedy for life and fear of death, and became traitors for the sake of prosperity .

In this rivers and lakes, there is love for children, family hatred, national hatred, warrior strength, and the backbone of the Chinese nation.

Ding Xiu was moved, but he still gritted his teeth and continued to read the script.

There are a lot of scenes in Yixiantian, and there are three or four fight scenes with the male lead Ye Wen, and emotional entanglements with the female lead Gong Er, and finally become a guardian, silently guarding near Gong Er's house.

A generation of masters, Ye Wen is for martial arts, Gong Er is for revenge, Yi Yitian is only for Gong Er.

Three masters, three choices.

Judging from the script alone, it is indeed very attractive. Ding Xiu has been in the industry for so many years, and this script can be ranked in the top three.

When the old man made a martial arts movie hero, it was completely wrong, and it was not a level worse than this generation of masters.

"Director Wang, I want to ask, if I join the group, how long will it take to shoot?"

Finally, Ding Xiu spoke up.

He has a glimmer of hope for Wang Sunglasses. If he can write a guarantee letter and the shooting time is normal, he is willing to shoot.

Wang Jiawei smiled lightly, pushed his sunglasses, and said, "Not long, three years at most."

I am Nima!
Ding Xiu looked at the top of the coffee table, and wanted to grab the ashtray and throw it on the opponent's head.

Three years, I, Cao Nima, three years, what kind of concept is this, how many three years are there in a person's life?
"Director Wang, you are welcome to come to my place as a guest. Eat and drink well. Have a good time these few days. I will personally see you off when you leave. I will let you know when the movie will be released. If I am still alive, I will definitely come and join you."

Wang Jiawei couldn't laugh or cry: "Then tell me, how long can you shoot?"

Ding Xiu held up three fingers: "Two months!"

It's just the second male lead, not the first male lead, and it doesn't have to run through the whole movie. Generally speaking, two months is the shooting cycle of a normal second male lead in a movie.

"It's too short, I can't just shoot you alone, let's take a step back, one year, I promise, I will let you finish within one year."

"Director Wang, let's have a drink then."

"Young people should take a long-term view and don't care about temporary gains and losses. Believe me, this drama will be one of the masterpieces in your life."

"Director Wang, I'm not interested in these things. I won't do it in two months or one more day. If you can finish filming me in two months, I'll consider joining the group."

"consider?"

"Yes, consider it, because the salary has not been discussed yet, you know, I am not cheap now."

The corner of Wang Jiawei's mouth twitched.

The salary is a trivial matter, he can even afford Liang Chaowei and Zhang Ziyi, so there is no need for Ding Xiu's money.

But it is a good thing that Ding Xiu values ​​money, and he is worried that nothing can impress Ding Xiu.

"How about this, I won't give you a package price for our movie, what about monthly payment, I will give you 70 a month, even if I delay you for a year, you will not delay making money."

70 a month, 840 million a year, although not too much, but also a lot, in the middle Ding Xiu has no chance to go out to do some private work, it is not a problem to spend thousands of dollars in a year.

"100 million, 100 million a month, you can shoot as long as you want."

Ding Xiu opened his mouth wide open.

100 million a month, if Wang Jiawei is willing, he can photograph him until his retirement age.

"Snapped!"

Wang Jiawei gritted his teeth, slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, I will pay this price."

He had calculated that the most time-consuming part of this drama was the martial arts practice before joining the group. Liang Chaowei had been in retreat for half a year, learning Wing Chun every day, and Zhang Ziyi was also learning gossip.

Ding Xiu himself is a master of Bajiquan, so he doesn't need to study, which can save a lot of time.

After joining the group, allocate the time well. If you are lucky, you can finish filming Ding Xiu in five or six months at most.

The reason why he is lucky is because he never reads the script when he is filming. The script Ding Xiu will take is not counted. When he arrives on the set, what he shoots the next day depends on what he thinks the day before.

Ding Xiu has [-] or [-] scenes in this meeting, and maybe there will be only a dozen or so left.

"Director Wang, eat well and drink well." Ding Xiu's complexion changed, and he served tea and wine with a smile.

100 million a month, not a loss, if it wasn't for the conditions, he would want to film until he retires, and until he dies, he will keep his funeral in secret and let his son continue acting.

……

Wang Jiawei acted quickly. After discussing the details with Ding Xiu, he immediately notified the company to prepare the contract.

Qin Chao Entertainment, Qin Gang saw the salary of 100 million a month, and almost burst out laughing. Wang Sunglass is really sincere, and he will do anything for the sake of art.

Discuss the details of the contract, sign it, seal it, take photos of the makeup, and do the styling. In just one month, Ding Xiu got it all done.

Just when he was about to join the group to check in and accept a monthly salary of one million, Wang Jiawei told him that he didn't need to join the group for now, and he would be notified when the time came.

What a joke, Ding Xiu's salary is so expensive, before he got his part, Wang Jiawei beat him to death and refused to let him join the group.

"Director Wang, then I can't wait for you for nothing, right? I have a lot of work on hand, do you think the salary will be counted from today?"

Ding Xiu quit. If you don’t join the group, it doesn’t count as a shooting period. This is impossible. It’s the same as being called a lady. When you wrap it, you touch it and take it off. But you said you didn’t reach the last step. It doesn't count as timing, isn't this a hooligan?

If you order it, I will give you the money. I don't care about your day or day.

One less son, I will fight you hard.

"Ahem, Brother Xiu, that's not what I said. Before you officially join the crew, I don't care what you want to do. Whether it's commercials, commercial performances, or guest appearances, it's your freedom. Wait for the crew to make preparations here. I will notify you in advance and promise not to delay your business..."

Anyway, under Wang Jiawei's earnest efforts and various guarantees, Ding Xiu was finally stabilized.

But it didn't take long, only two months. Even if Ding Xiu was not allowed to join the group within two months, he would still be paid.

"Okay, let's keep a line in life, so we can meet each other in the future, I won't force you too hard, Director Wang, I will give you this face."

"Brother Xiu, your voice is very good now."

"Don't mention this name, I'm curious, how did you come up with Yixiantian, did you have any experiences when you were young?"

"I don't know the name written by the screenwriter. By the way, you also know the screenwriter, Xu Haofeng."

"Old Xu, I know this well."

Xu Haofeng, the deceased martial arts director, played Ding Xiu's male lead when he was not yet prosperous. It can be said that if it weren't for Xu Haofeng, he might not be where he is today.

It's just that everyone has been busy in the past few years, and there is very little time to see each other. I didn't expect to meet again, it would be this kind of scene.

"Talk to Old Xu, tell him not to leave, wait for me to join the group and find him for a drink!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring your words."

Last year, Wang Jiawei thought about letting Ding Xiu play the role of Yixiantian, but after Ding Xiu didn't play, he gave up this idea.

After interviewing many actors, none of them met the requirements. Screenwriter Xu Haofeng once again strongly recommended Ding Xiu and talked a lot about Ding Xiu.

Reminiscent of the Eight Great Schools in the teahouse war, in the end, Wang Jiawei made up his mind to let Ding Xiu act.
