This actor wants to pay more

Chapter 488 Anger from Baoqiang

That being said, when Ding Xiu saw Wu Jing getting married, he felt more or less unworthy of this boy.

After working hard for twenty years, on my wedding day, these were the guests.

Most of them are still hosts and variety show stars.

It can be seen from this that these are Xie Lan's friends.

Wu Jing's friend...

Scattered, hard to describe.

You know, Wu Jing has been working hard in Hong Kong Island for ten years, but today's scene, so far, has not seen a single Hong Kong Island artist.

If this happens, either this guy is not good enough and is too vague, or his character is not good enough and he doesn't have many friends.

"Hello, Brother Hua."

Gao Yuanyuan gently pushed Ding Xiu's arm, turned to say hello to the person standing behind, ready to hand over the money.

Ding Xiu thought it was Liu Dehua, so he immediately raised a smile and turned his head.

Ren Dahua.

Years of sophistication made his expression almost unchanged. He stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Brother Hua, I am Ding Xiu."

Ding Xiu took back his previous sentence. Wu Jing still had some friends in Hong Kong.

I just didn’t expect it to be this big shot.

Simon Yam is an old acquaintance in Hong Kong movies. He has been active since the 1990s until now.

There are so many movies made.

Unlike actors like Andy Lau and Tony Leung, Simon Yam can act in any movie.

Villains, good guys, evil guys, whatever can be broadcast, what can't be broadcast, there is no role that he has not played.

If you are very capable, you will naturally win many awards, including several Best Actors.

If it were just these, Ding Xiu would certainly not say he was a big shot, at most he was just a first-line actor.

There is another reason why Yam Dahua has a high status in Hong Kong Island: his younger brother is more valuable than his older brother.

People also have backgrounds.

In the 1980s and 1990s, few film companies in Hong Kong were clean.

The so-called kings and queens, under the threat of trolls, make whatever films they are told to make.

Li Lienjie must be awesome.

Because of a feud over a drama, his agent helped him stand up.

It was sold out within a few days.

Li Lianjie was so frightened that he quickly hid abroad.

Cheng Long, Andy Lau, and Chow Yun-fa were still sprayed on the head while filming.

Compared with their treatment, Ren Dahua is much better.

Because his brother is in charge of the Flying Tigers and has an official status.

No one wants to mess with him for no reason.

Sometimes when something goes wrong for an artist, he will ask Simon Yam to mediate the situation. If he comes and goes, his status will be relatively high.

"Hello, my dear, I have long admired your name."

Ren Dahua shook hands with Gao Yuanyuan and Ding Xiu one by one. When it was Ding Xiu's turn, he couldn't help but look at them a few more times.

He was very familiar with the name Ding Xiu.

This name has never stopped appearing over the years. Whether in the mainland or Hong Kong, news about Ding Xiu can often be heard.

The new generation of leading figures in the Mainland is very famous, very capable of fighting, very rich, and has a bad temper.

"It's all a false name." Ding Xiu said modestly.

"Oh, I'm humble. If we have the opportunity to work together, I would also like to make an action movie."

"No problem. I still admire Brother Hua. I grew up watching your movies."

"Really, which one is your favorite?"

Lamb…

Of course Ding Xiu couldn't do this, he was afraid of being beaten.

He has watched many of Simon Yam's movies, including Jiang Tiansheng in Young and Dangerous and General in Zombie.

During the Dragon City years, Le Shao was a fisherman who liked to hit people.

The PTU series is also a classic.

To say that I like it, it's Le Shao who has scheming, means and brains. In that drama he played opposite Leung Ka Fai, he didn't fall behind at all.

It was also that year that he defeated Leung Ka-fai and won the Academy Award for Best Actor.

"I love Dragon City. This movie is so classic."

Dragon City Years, looking at this film now, whether it is lines or camerawork, it is top-notch and not outdated at all.

Many of the principles in it are still applicable today.

"I like Your Lost Martial Arts and have read it many times."

Ren Dahua said the title of a film, which made Ding Xiu stunned for a moment.

The Lost Martial Arts was the first film he made after entering the industry. It was not screened in the mainland at first, but was only screened on Hong Kong Island.

Not to mention his peers, many fans don't know about his drama.

Unexpectedly, Ren Dahua actually knew.

This man is capable!

"You would be young, your performance would be immature, and it would be ridiculous."

"No, no, no, I think you did a good job."

In theory, as an actor, the longer you have been in the industry, the more movies you film, and the better your acting skills will be.

But this is just a theory. In fact, many actors' most classic roles are often played when they first debuted.

As a new actor, his performance is not that ingenious, and many things come from his heart.

"Thank you for the compliment. Brother Hua, let's have a drink together later."

"no problem."

The two chatted for a while, and the wedding officially began.

Wu Jing had an injured leg and was on crutches, so naturally there wasn't much wedding drama. After a series of steps, he stepped off the stage and toasted at the table.

Before the ceremony was over, everyone was extremely drunk.

Ding Xiu went to the toilet in the middle of the trip, and he kept vomiting at the door next door.

He couldn't help but said: "Brother, are you eating or defecating?"

"I'll pull your uncle." Wu Jing scolded next door with a dark face.

Ding Xiu smiled. He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance when he went to the toilet. Hearing hissing breaths, he said, "Hey, shit burns your mouth, and you still blow it."

"Fuck, who the hell are you? Your voice sounds so familiar?"

"you guess."

With a cigarette hanging from his mouth, Ding Xiu washed his hands slowly at the sink after flushing the toilet, until Wu Jing came out.

"I said who was so mean, it turned out to be you."

Wu Jing, whose face was red and tired, saw Ding Xiu and said angrily.

"If you can't drink, drink less." Ding Xiu said slowly.

"It's this time in your life, you have to drink even if you can't." Wu Jing turned on the faucet, picked up the water and poured it on his face.

After washing my face with cold water, my drunkenness subsided and I felt energetic.

"Where are we now? There's still the second half. Don't leave later. Help me block it. It's best to drink those animals down first."

"Okay, no problem. Call Lao Huang and Bao Qiang and leave them to us three. I guarantee that the seventh uncle and the eighth aunt will be beaten by you."

Wu Jing cupped his fists and raised his hands.

Ding Xiu took out a cigarette, lit it and handed it over: "What do you think? I've been waiting for a few months to get married at this time. Once Wolf Warrior is released, I will gain fame and wealth, and I will be happy. Isn't it wonderful?"

Wu Jing took a sip and exhaled heavily while holding on to the sink: "It is possible to gain both fame and fortune, but it is also possible to be heavily in debt."

"What I originally thought was to wait for Wolf Warrior to be released first. If I can make money, I will get married. If I can't, I won't get married."

"If you're in debt, just break up."

This drama required a total investment of 100 million, of which 40 million was invested by him.

If he loses 40 million, he doesn't know how many years it will take to pay it back.

Don't want to drag down Xie Lan.

"He is a man." Ding Xiu gave a thumbs up: "Why did you change your mind again?"

Wu Jing grinned: "I told Xie Lan my idea and got a whipping."

"She said that if she loses money, she can repay the debt with me."

It was only through this incident that he realized how different men and women think.

What men think is that they can only love each other if they have money and a career. What women think is that if they have each other, they will have the whole world, and they can work hard together in the future with money and career.

Ding Xiu sighed: "She is a good girl." These days, there are not many simple girls.

Many girls just take one step and find a man who can give them a happy life, and they can endure hardships and work hard together?

does not exist!

They are not willing to endure hardships or work hard. What if the man finally gets rich and dumps them?

Ordinary girls have this idea, let alone entertainers in Vanity Fair.

There are ruthless people in the entertainment industry, and many male artists have their property transferred after marriage, and end up becoming paupers.

By comparison, you can see how big Xie Lan's structure and ambition are.

These days, it is rare to find a woman who can compensate a man for his hardships.

So Ding Xiu was envious and said that he had met a good girl.

"That one in your family is pretty good too." Wu Jing teased Gao Yuanyuan: "She makes as much money as you."

This is what he admires most about Ding Xiu. The girlfriends he talks to are all rich.

In their love, they never worried about money.

"Harm, basic operation." Ding Xiu waved his hand.

The two of them chatted and smoked in the bathroom for half an hour before going out.

Wu Jing winked at Ding Xiu, summoned Huang Bo and Bao Qiang to the table, and started drinking with the old man at home.

Forty minutes later, Ding Xiu waved: "Next batch."

……

Ding Xiu didn't have a job during this year's Spring Festival, but his schedule was fuller than when he had a job.

Try on the wedding dress and make improvements if there is something wrong.

Go to meet your parents with Gao Yuanyuan.

Attended several movie premieres.

If you invite those who come to visit you to pay New Year greetings, you have to go and pay New Year greetings yourself.

A few days before the new year, Ding Xiu went to Yang Mi's childhood after watching the premiere of Wu Jing's Wolf Warriors.

Accompanying us was Wang Baoqiang, but Huang Bo was busy filming and could not come.

I have to say, this movie is terrible.

Ding Xiu couldn't see anything good about the story line or anything like that. The dazzling array of things was all about worshiping money.

In the middle of the process, he sent a text message to Yang Mi, asking her to tell the director and not to let him say a few words later.

He was afraid that he would collapse.

I really don’t know what to brag about.

I can't afford to lose this person.

No matter how well the film was shot, he would unconscionably say it was a good movie.

"Brother Xiu, I have a script recently. It's pretty good. It just lacks a male lead. Do you want to come and take a look?"

Wang Baoqiang whispered to Ding Xiudao.

Some time ago, he told Ding Xiu that he wanted to cooperate, and Ding Xiu said that he would discuss it if he had a good script.

Speaking of Cao Cao and Cao Cao's arrival, he really came across a good script these days.

"What type?" Ding Xiu asked.

"Hong Kong movie, Kung Fu genre, I read the script, it's very good."

"Who is the director?"

With Bao Qiang's perspective, since he said the script was good, it must be good.

As long as the directing team is a good team, then the movie will be good.

"The director of Hong Kong Island, Chen Desheng." Fearing that Ding Xiu might not recognize him, Wang Baoqiang explained: "He was the director of the previous October Siege."

Ding Xiu suddenly realized that the October Siege of the City, of course he knew about this movie, and it was full of big names.

I had invited him at first, but the schedule was too tight and I didn't have time.

"By the way, you also know the martial arts instructor, Yuan Bing, Yuan Hua."

Ding Xiu became interested: "Send me the script later."

Of course he knows Yuan Bing and Yuan Hua, they are old acquaintances and have worked together many times.

Anyway, I’ve been idle lately, so it would be nice to find a scene to shoot.

"I don't have a script." Wang Baoqiang said awkwardly, "I'll prepare a game for another day, and you can talk to the director."

Ding Xiu rolled his eyes at him.

Talking about feelings for a long time is all about maintaining strength and self-pleasure.

He thought that Bao Qiang had the final say in this drama, and he spent a long time just to introduce it.

You still have to act on your own.

"Are you sure the male lead hasn't been decided yet?" Ding Xiu asked.

Baoqiang chuckled: "What I know is that I didn't sign the contract."

"Who?"

"Donnie Yen."

"I said so."

now it's right.

Nowadays, there are very few pure Hong Kong films. They are all cross-strait co-productions. The first male lead is a Hong Kong actor, and the second male lead or the first female lead is a mainland actor.

Bao Qiang is not the male lead, then the male lead must be from Hong Kong Island.

Afraid that Ding Xiu would not agree, Wang Baoqiang said: "Brother Xiu, with your strength, this role is easy to capture."

"As long as you want to act, you can definitely act."

Ding Xiu's status and strength were higher than those of Donnie Yen, so Wang Baoqiang couldn't believe that the director had given up on this big shot.

When the time comes, I will fan the flames and say that I won't come if Ding Xiu doesn't come. Then the matter will be settled.

As for the so-called cross-strait co-production, the management took into account the Hong Kong Island market and used Hong Kong Island actors for the leading roles. This is completely nonsense.

In the face of interests, protecting the Hong Kong market and protecting Hong Kong actors is nothing.

If a Hollywood gangster wanted to play the lead role, the management would be eager to hire someone.

Ding Xiu's box office appeal is higher than that of Donnie Yen. Comparing the two, the management will definitely favor Ding Xiu.

After thinking for a few seconds, Ding Xiu asked: "What is the script called?"

Wang Baoqiang was delighted: "How about one person's martial arts world, coincidence or not."

The first movie they made together was called The Lost Martial Arts. After so many years, the movie they reunited with is called One Man's Martial Arts. It's a coincidence.

"It's quite a coincidence." Ding Xiu nodded: "I will read the script first and then I will reply to you later."

"It's okay, take your time and look carefully."

He has been waiting for this day for a long time, and this time he has to cooperate with Ding Xiu no matter what.

After watching the movie, I called the director Chen Desheng and told him that if Ding Xiu didn't play, he wouldn't act. He asked the director to keep Ding Xiu.

After talking about the business, Ding Xiu thought of something: "Why haven't you and Lao Huang been seen at my place in the past few months?"

In the past, whenever they had free time, Huang Bo and Bao Qiang would drink with him. However, since the filming of Xiuchundao was completed, the three of them did not spend much time together.

After asking about Huang Bo's schedule, he found that it was not too busy and he had quite a lot of time in Peiping.

Wang Baoqiang scratched his head: "Because Xu Zheng's matter is a bit broken."

Ding Xiu was confused: "What does this have to do with Baldy Xu, your love triangle?"

"What a love triangle. Xu Zheng and I don't have a good relationship. Huang Bo and Xu Zheng have a good relationship recently. He's in a dilemma being caught in the middle, so we don't have much contact with each other these days."

"Did you kidnap someone's wife?"

Wang Baoqiang shook his head: "You were the one who was embarrassed before, do you remember?"

Ding Xiu nodded: "Of course I remember, Lao Huang made tens of millions."

In the filming of "Thailand", Bao Qiang and Huang Bo both starred in the film at a friendly price. Huang Bo's salary was included in the shares, and Bao Qiang received a few million symbolically.

Later, the movie became a big hit and became the number one in film and television. Huang Bo made tens of millions by mistake.

Wang Baoqiang said in a deep voice, "Xu Zheng is working on the third part recently and wants to invite me and Lao Huang again."

"He wanted to spend money on production and asked me if the salary could be lower. I said since he wanted to save money, he might as well invest my salary into a stock."

"Brother Xiu, do you think there's nothing wrong with what I did?"

"No, it's normal."

"But they don't agree." Baoqiang was still a little depressed when he mentioned this.

Ding Xiu frowned: "Why?"

Xu Zheng has no reason to disagree with the good thing of win-win.

"He said that the investment quota is full and there is no shortage of money now."

The more Baoqiang talked, the more excited he became: "Then I said since there is no shortage of money, then my salary will be normal."

"He didn't do it either. He said that money should be spent wisely, and actors' remuneration must be reduced."
