This actor wants to pay more

Chapter 515 Can you send me back?

In June, one person's martial arts was completed in Hong Kong Island, and Ding Xiu and Wang Baoqiang returned to the mainland.

On this day, Qin Gang praised a game and called Ding Xiu, Huang Bo, Wu Jing, Yang Mi, Song Yang, Reba, Tang Yan, Zhao Liying, Xin Zhilei, Lei Jiayin, Zhang Yi, Zhou Wei and Zhang Song The Wen brothers, the contracted director Lu Yang and others had a drink.

It is necessary to hang out occasionally. This kind of occasional gathering is necessary to consolidate the circle and strengthen everyone's relationship, and secondly to improve employee cohesion.

Among this group of people, Wu Jing and Bao Qiang were not artists from Qin Chao Entertainment, but considering that this was not just an internal employee gathering and that everyone had known each other for so many years, they were invited.

Although many people work in the same company, their working relationships are often spent together and apart, and they are not very familiar with each other.

We were a bit unfamiliar when we first met, but after a while we gradually got to know each other better. Those who added friends added friends, and those who left their phone numbers left their phone numbers.

Seeing so many people gathered together, Qin Gang, who had drank two kilograms of wine, felt an inexplicable sense of pride.

Among the first batch of senior figures in the company, Ding Xiu and Yang Mi are now on the front line.

Tang Yan is currently very popular in the second tier. After The Legend of Sword and Fairy, the company has given her fourteen dramas, an average of three per year.

Among them, there are six films with female leads.

There are three popular movies, Xia Family's Three Daughters, Xuanyuan Sword: Traces of the Sky, and X Female Agent.

Over four years and more than a thousand days and nights, fourteen films were filmed. Only three of them became popular, so the chances are not high.

So much so that till now, Tang Yan is always close to leaving the front line.

Yang Mi is much luckier.

He also started his career in Sword and Sword Three, and then took on dramas such as The Beauty's Scheming, Peking Love Story, The Four Young Masters of the Capital, Gongsuo Jade, and Wudang.

After all, the resources of the two of them are actually about the same.

The company spent no less time on Tang Yan than Yang Mi.

It’s just luck, it’s really hard to say for sure. The old saying goes that little success depends on support, and big success depends on luck. This is really true.

Yang Mi was lucky, and she was cast in several good dramas one after another. After being rated as one of the top four actresses, she cheated all the way, and her career soared. Now she was directly ahead of Tang Yan.

So much so that Tang Yan felt sour when he saw her now.

But when the peripheral vision glanced at Zhao Liying again, she regained her balance.

Zhao Liying also made her official debut after Fairy Sword. Her starting point was very low. She spent the first three years playing minor roles in supporting roles.

I only played a leading role in the past year.

The Legend of Lu Zhen was given to her by Ding Xiu under pressure and at the expense of favors.

After it became popular, this year’s Shanshan came to test the waters.

Seeing this sister who was also unlucky, Tang Yan couldn't help but sit next to Zhao Liying, so she played with Zhao Liying, who was worse off than her, so that she could feel better.

The artists sat together in twos and threes and chatted.

Only the two brothers Zhang Songwen and Zhou Zhouwei were running around.

There is no way, they are the most confused.

Over the past few years, there hasn’t been a single popular drama, and it’s not as good as Zhao Liying.

Even Lei Jiayin, Zhang Yi, and Xin Zhilei, who signed with the company later, are more popular than them. These three people have become famous since the second part of Xiuchundao.

Wandering around and between tables, the brothers would call everyone they met and leave their phone numbers to build relationships.

When it was Qin Gang's turn to sit at the table, he changed to apologizing profusely.

With the resources of the company, they failed to become popular year after year, and the two of them felt ashamed.

"It's okay. Everyone has their own opportunities. Gold will always shine. I believe in you."

Qin Gang, who smelled of alcohol, patted the two of them on the shoulders to encourage them.

From the company owner's perspective, he really didn't mean to blame.

An entertainment company must have face and dignity.

To put it simply, there are both top traffic figures and talented actors with good acting skills.

In his eyes, there are two types of company artists, the traffic type and the acting type.

The traffic faction is Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Reba, Xin Zhilei, Zhao Liying and others.

These girls can be praised all the time and take advantage of the popularity of film and television dramas to go crazy for endorsements, commercial performances and make money, which is part of the company's source of income.

The acting school includes Huang Bo, Song Yang, Zhang Songwen, Zhou Zhouwei, Lei Jiayin, Zhang Yi and others.

He doesn't have specific KPIs for this group of people. He just wants to play it slow and take more scripts, even if they are supporting roles, and get less money.

One word, grind.

Sharpen your acting skills and hone your qualifications.

In the future, whether he is used as a green leaf for his newcomers or released to play supporting roles, he will be a good player.

If you have the chance, arrange a protagonist to test the waters and try to make one of them popular.

At present, it seems that the chance of becoming popular is not low. Needless to say, among their team, Huang Bo is already popular.

Song Yang is also popular, after The Legend of Sword and Fairy, Traces of the Japanese Pirates, The Archer Liu Baiyuan, two consecutive Xu Haofeng's dramas won him many awards, and his reputation gradually spread in the circle, and many directors were willing to use him.

As for Ding Xiu.

Qin Gang was already in ruins.

Let’s call him a traffic fan. His traffic is indeed huge. Looking across the country, there are few people with more traffic than him.

Let's just say he's a good actor, but he has a bit of that. He's not like the old drama star, who searches for hot topics and makes news every day or two.

Yang Mi, Tang Yan and others who are so professional and enthusiastic are not as noisy as him.

However, Ding Xiu hasn't done anything yet, and spends most of his time on trending searches in a daze.

"Brother Xiu, I salute you for this cup. Thank you for your hard work in filming one person's martial arts this time."

After drinking for three rounds, Wang Baoqiang came to Ding Xiu with a glass of wine and asked him to have a drink alone.

"What's so hard about this?"

"Anyway, thank you, I'll do it."

In a one-man martial arts world, it seems that Ding Xiu is the number one male, but in fact it is Ding Xiu who makes him.

Most of the highlights of this drama are Feng Yuxiu. He has so many roles that even the male lead Xia Houwu can't compare with him.

When the crew was filming, Ding Xiu often asked the director to add action scenes to give him more opportunities to shine.

Ding Xiu is a good male lead, but he becomes the second male lead every time he acts.

If it were any other artist, they would have lost their temper a long time ago and quit, and some would have even filed lawsuits with the crew.

That is, Ding Xiu, who is not annoyed or troubled, has no opinions at all, and smiles every day.

The two have known each other for so many years, and Ding Xiu has always used this method to help him. Thinking of this, Baoqiang was deeply moved.

"Drink less, that's almost enough."

Ding Xiu was frightened when he saw so many people taking a sip.

Wang Baoqiang is like this, Qin Gang, Wu Jing, Huang Bo, and Yang Mi are also like this.

"I'm leaving now. I have to work tomorrow. You continue." Qin Gang stood up unsteadily, called Reba over, and said to Ding Xiu: "Remember, take care of her more, I'll leave it to you."

"Brother Xiu, please take care of me. I'll do it first."

A glass of white wine, Reba took a sip.

Ding Xiu: "..."

After Qin Gang left, without the boss, everyone was more cheerful, singing, drinking, and punching.

After a while, Zhao Liying calmly brought a pot of tea to Ding Xiu and whispered in his ear: "I have work tomorrow, so I'm going back first. Please drink less."

After saying hello to everyone, Zhao Liying left.

With a somewhat withdrawn personality, she actually didn't want to attend this kind of cocktail party, but Qin Gang invited her and there were no outsiders, so she happened to be in Peiping and came over. After Zhao Liying left, Tang Yan didn't stay long.

Then came Zhang Songwen, who had class tomorrow. As soon as Zhang Songwen left, his good friend Zhou Wei also left.

Wang Baoqiang drank a lot. After Ding Xiu called his wife to inform him, he was sent back to rest.

In less than half an hour, half of the people were gone.

The private room became empty. Yang Mi sat next to Ding Xiu and whispered: "I have something to discuss with you."

Ding Xiu, who was drinking with his legs crossed and enjoying Reba's dance, said nonchalantly: "What's the matter?"

"I want to set up a portal, please help me."

As she spoke, Yang Mi lowered her voice.

Ding Xiu laughed angrily: "You've had too much wine, haven't you?"

Isn't it crazy to come to him as a boss and say that he wants to start his own business?

He didn't even tell Qin Gang about Da Mimi's escape, which was already quite interesting.

"That's not what I meant." Yang Mi was a little nervous and explained: "Huan Rui and I are cooperating on a film, which involves issues such as remuneration and equity investment, capital injection, etc."

"Now that I'm still in the company, I invest money directly. It's not in compliance with the procedures to buy shares from the film remuneration. I want you to help me and approve a studio for me, just like Sister Qin Lan did back then."

Huan Rui, Ding Xiu has an impression of this company. It is considered a big company in the industry. It specializes in film and television production and is very influential in the field of costume dramas.

I didn't expect Yang Mi to be involved in such a line.

It is estimated that if there was no contract such as remuneration and stock ownership, Yang Mi would not tell him and would just do it quietly.

"I understand the rules, don't worry, I will hand over the portion of the studio's income that should be handed over."

Afraid that Ding Xiu would not agree, Yang Mi gave in again.

Ding Xiu shook his head: "It's not about money. Xiaolan's situation was more complicated at the beginning. In short, it's impossible for you to copy her."

"Do you know what it means to open a studio? This opening cannot be opened."

After opening a studio, the artist's heart is no longer in the company.

If you become popular, you have to open your own studio before you can make money. Then what is the meaning of the company's existence?

Yang Mi opened a studio, should Huang Bo open one? Do you want to open Tang Yan?

All of them have opened studios, and the companies are still making a lot of money.

To put it nicely, part of the income from the studio is handed over. The amount of money handed over is not at the same level as the income brought to the company by staying in the company.

A long time ago, Qin Gang established a share incentive system. As long as it becomes popular, he will have corresponding shares and be regarded as a shareholder of the company.

So far, Yang Mi, Huang Bo, and Tang Yan all have different holdings.

At the same time, their contract share is also increasing in stages. To be honest, the company does not treat everyone harshly.

But compared with the benefits of setting up one's own business, it is indeed incomparable.

"If you really want to make money, I can let you buy shares in an investment company under my name."

After much deliberation, Ding Xiu decided on this solution.

He has an investment company in Shanghai. He usually invests in movies starring himself and makes money with Qin Chao Entertainment.

Qin Gang assigned him to the team.

Both Xiuchundao and Wu Jing's Wolf Warriors have traces of this company.

"Brother Xiu, I won't make it difficult for you, right?" Ding Xiu gave the solution, but Yang Mi hesitated.

How is this different from making extra money behind the company's back?

"You still know that it's difficult for me." Ding Xiu sighed in his heart: "You find someone you can trust to hold shares on your behalf, and don't show your face. I will do the work on the surface."

"Thank you, Brother Xiu, for causing you trouble."

"That's good, you know. Have you decided how much to vote?"

"Huan Rui's project is called Gu Jian Qi Tan, and I will be starring in it. Originally, I wanted to take part in the film with my remuneration equal to 35 million, and then invest another 10 million myself, for a total investment of 45 million."

"Now." Yang Mi glanced at Ding Xiu cautiously and said, "I want to reach an agreement with them in private..."

"Stop!" Ding Xiu interrupted her: "Don't think about it and be honest with me."

She knew what Damimi meant, which was to reduce the salary on the surface, but actually reduce the part of the investment, and the remaining money would be made up by the investment company.

This wave can be regarded as a trap for Qin Chao to entertain his own people.

Her salary is less, and the company's share of the work is correspondingly less.

Ding Xiu lightly tapped the shoulder of the sofa, frowned and said, "If you want to make money on your own, I won't stop you, but you can't harm the company's interests."

Yang Mi pursed her lips: "But I don't have enough money. It's simply not feasible to invest in the company without remuneration."

She could get more than 40 million, but it would cost her her strength and strength.

It's not worth it to put your wealth on the line just for a movie.

"How much?"

"The most I can offer is 25 million. This is the bottom line."

Ding Xiu didn't think much and said, "The remaining twenty million is mine."

"Ah." Yang Mi was stunned.

Her investment in Ding Xiu's company was just a cover to make investments on her own.

Why did Ding Xiu really follow suit?

Ding Xiu smiled: "Why, are you afraid that I will make money from you?"

"No, you don't need to. What if you lose money? Investment is risky."

Now, Damimi started thinking about Ding Xiu.

It is true that investment is risky. Even she is not 100% sure that she can make a profit, and she will not dare to spend only this amount of money.

Originally, I just borrowed Ding Xiu's house to take shelter from the rain, and I never thought of dragging him into the water.

Ding Xiu shrugged and said calmly: "If you lose, you lose. It's not worth the money."

"Brother Xiu, thank you. Don't say anything anymore. It's all in the wine."

After pouring a large glass of wine, Yang Mi drank it all in front of Ding Xiu.

"Okay, if you can't drink it, just drink less."

In fact, Ding Xiu also has selfish motives. Da Mimi is very ambitious and Qin Chao Entertainment cannot keep her. Rather than letting her do things secretly, it is better to put her under his nose.

In addition, Damimi's acting skills may be erratic, but her ability to make money has nothing to do with it.

The project she was interested in was good enough.

If you join in, you can earn some hard-earned money.

As for Qin Gang, let's talk about it later. Compensation should be made.

Lao Qin is not stupid. He can't tell Yang Mi wants to run away. He leaves it to him to handle it, just to let him handle it.

For so long, he never asked about Yang Mi's affairs, nor did he ask about the private agreement between Ding Xiu and Yang Mi.

Ding Xiu didn't say much.

This can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the two.

Some things will always end better if they are passed over in a blur and no one mentions them, rather than being embarrassed on the table.

"Brother Xiu, I seem to be drunk."

Da Mimi's face was flushed, her eyes were blurred and she leaned on Ding Xiu's shoulder and said.

"I'll have someone take you back." Ding Xiu immediately took out his cell phone to make a call.

"Can you send me off?" Damimi grabbed his hand and stopped him from making the call, pleading pitifully: "For the last time."
