This actor wants to pay more

Chapter 476: Never do the late stage again

"Brother Xiu, sit down."

"Tea or coffee."

"Do you need me to give you a shoulder squeeze?"

Ding Xiu came to Qin Lan's company again. As soon as he entered, Yang Siwei served tea and poured water, and the smile on his face never stopped while he was busy.

Holding a cup of green tea, Ding Xiu was speechless: "Xiao Yang, I didn't get this treatment last time I came here."

"I'm sorry, I was negligent because I didn't greet you well last time. I'm treating you tonight. You can decide the place as you like."

Glancing at Zhao Liying behind Ding Xiu, Yang Siwei said: "Xiao Zhao, come with us. We sisters have not seen each other for some time."

Seeing Zhao Liying again, she was still a little emotional.

At first, both of them were assistants, and Zhao Liying was just a bag-carrying, tea-filling person beside Ding Xiu.

Only a few years ago, Zhao Liying has already played the leading role.

I have to say, life is really good.

Looking at himself subconsciously, an idea flashed through Yang Siwei's mind.

I don't know if Ding Xiu likes this one.

"Thank you, Sister Yang. I still have some work on hand, so I won't go. You guys have a good time."

Zhao Liying rejected Yang Siwei's invitation.

She didn't want to eat with Qin Lan.

Qin Lan was not here today, otherwise she would not have come.

In the company, the person she was happy to contact was Ding Xiu.

"Okay, then I'll treat you alone another day." Yang Siwei understood instantly that it was her fault that Wang didn't see him.

After drinking half a cup of tea, Ding Xiu thought of something: "Xiao Yang, how was the discussion with Guo Jinfei, whom I recommended before?"

"It's very good. I'm very optimistic about him. After two rounds of chatting, he just came over yesterday to sign a contract. He will also be a part of the company in the future."

In today's industry, male actors have a much wider range of roles than female actors.

Once an actor like Guo Jinfei is released, it may be a bit difficult to play the lead actor. Most of his supporting roles are based on scripts.

"From now on, he will be left to you. If you need any help, please come to me. By the way, Xiao Zhao is temporarily idle here. You can find something for her to do and earn some pocket money."

"Understood!" Yang Siwei made an OK gesture.

It's easy to make some pocket money, just accept a few commercial performances.

"Remember, it's best to find the crew." Ding Xiu added.

Young actors still need to hone their acting skills. If you think about it every day, you won't be able to understand it. If you shoot more and act more, you will understand it over time.

Yang Siwei assured: "No problem."

As for the leading female role, she does not have such resources, but she still has a lot of resources for supporting roles, not to mention that Zhao Liying has just finished playing the leading female role and has the qualifications.

"Thank you, Brother Xiu." Zhao Liying said reluctantly at first, then raised a smile and said to Yang Siwei: "Thank you, Sister Yang."

Ding Xiu and Qin Chao Entertainment also said the same thing.

It is estimated that her assistant life will be over in a few days.

Yang Siwei shook her head secretly, this girl was so blessed that she didn't know how lucky she was. How many people wanted to have a relationship with Ding Xiu but never had a chance.

She was fine, with a look of reluctance.

Qin Lan was away, and Ding Xiu didn't want to stay any longer. Before leaving, he told Yang Siwei: "My dividends for the next five years will stay here. Whether they are used for investment or operation, it's up to you."

No one dislikes having more money. He is also short of money. What he lacks is big money, hundreds of millions.

The profit here is not big, so there is no need to take it away. Think of it as a little help to Qin Lan.

"Thank you Brother Xiu, Brother Xiu is so kind."

Yang Siwei was overjoyed again.

There are many places for studios to spend money, and money can solve many problems. The simplest thing is that money can be exchanged for resources.

Sometimes for a role, it's useless to talk nonsense, it's not as powerful as investing real money in the crew.

He is the real father who brings money into the group. …

When Ding Xiu came out of the company, he took out a bunch of keys from nowhere and gave them to Zhao Liying.

"I've seen your schedule. You travel to the Magic City a lot every year. Every time it's inconvenient to stay in a hotel, you can stay in this apartment first."

"Ah, Brother Xiu, I can't have this." Zhao Liying waved her hands repeatedly.

She was a little flattered by the gift of a car and a house.

"It's not like I'm giving it to you. I have a lot of houses here, and they're all empty. Use them to live in."

A few years ago, Lao Qin was engaged in real estate, and several houses were ruined in his hands. He took over the properties.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for housing prices to come back and skyrocket. Now the value of these houses has already doubled ten times.

Because there was no shortage of money on hand, Ding Xiu was not in a hurry to cash out, and the house was always in his hands.

There are several apartments that you can’t live in all by yourself, and there’s no need to rent them out, which only costs a few dollars.

If you are idle, you are idle. It is better to let Zhao Liying live first, which can be regarded as having a place to live in the magic city.

Ding Xiu knows that many actors stay in hotels most often when they go out, and some even stay in hotels for [-] days a year.

It's convenient, but it's not as comfortable as home.

"Thank you, Brother Xiu. I don't even know how to thank you."

"We don't need to be so polite. Let's have a good time in the Magic City for a few days and then get ready to start work. I'll accompany you, Sister Xiaolan, to try out the show. I won't be able to stay here for a few days before I have to go back."

"Ah."

Although she knew that this day would come sooner or later, Zhao Liying was still a little reluctant to give up.

Once the two separated, they were destined to spend less time together and more time apart, and would not see each other twice a year.

……

Ding Xiu stayed in the Magic City for three days, accompanied Qin Lan to finalize the role, and then returned to Peiping.

Gao Yuanyuan is still on the set and has not returned for the time being. He is in post-editing and home every day.

After all, it is your own hard work, so you have to take it seriously.

Editing is a college subject. No matter how good the actors are in the early stages, or how good the director is, if you encounter an unreliable editor, your film can be cut into shit.

Some directors don't trust others to do the work, so they edit everything themselves.

Lu Yang is not a professional editor, but he doesn't trust other editors either.

Like Ding Xiu, he goes to the editor's studio every day.

It broke the editor's mind.

One day's work turned into two days, and two days turned into three days.

Every time when it was time to take action, either Lu Yang or Ding Xiu would jump out and say that this place needed to be protected and that there needed to be protected.

It took a month and a half to edit the first version, with a total length of two hundred minutes.

The editor cried, while Lu Yang and Ding Xiu were silent.

Normal movies are usually only 120 minutes.

In other words, there are eight or 10 extra minutes, and they will continue to be reduced.

In the second version, Ding Xiu and Lu Yang were less gesticulating, but the editing still ran out of time.

150 minutes.

In the third version, every time the editor cut a scene, Ding Xiu and Lu Yang's hearts twitched, and their eyes were full of heartache.

They acted it out scene by scene and shot it scene by scene.

Sometimes a line or a small action is carefully designed.

But now I have to cut it off for the sake of duration. I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel bad.

The more they watched, the more heartbroken they became. They simply stopped watching and went outside to smoke.

Ding Xiu exhaled a puff of smoke and said slowly: I won't be working in the late stage anymore. Whoever wants to come can come.
