This actor wants to pay more

Chapter 538 Tomb Robbery Notes

In the entertainment industry, it may not be easy to become popular, but it only takes a matter of minutes to achieve success.

If you get into porn, gambling or drugs, your acting career will basically be ruined.

The General Administration of Optoelectronics will not tolerate a low-quality artist active on the stage and becoming the idol of thousands of ordinary people.

But if something goes wrong, it's very difficult to come back.

Liu Xiaoqing is famous. He was the most popular person in Mainland China back then.

After the accident, he could only play supporting roles in major film and television dramas, supporting newcomers and the elderly.

In the past ten years, there has not been a female leading role in a film.

This was the result of her paying the price, getting to know a lot of people, and smoothing out relationships.

Even a mainland lady is like this, let alone others.

The people at the scene who could understand Ding Xiu's words were all experienced.

But several students didn't take it seriously and didn't listen to half of the words. They always felt that these things were far away from them.

"The recording of the first-year college season has been completed. Congratulations to all the teachers for finishing the recording."

After Ding Xiu finished speaking, the director officially announced that the show was finished.

The staff gave flowers that had been prepared long ago to several teachers one by one, opened champagne and fired salutes to celebrate.

Ding Xiu gave Reba the flowers given by the program team and encouraged: "Come on, work hard, I'm optimistic about you."

"Brother Xiu, I will work hard."

Reba was extremely touched by being cared for by the big boss. When she saw that the recording of the show was over, she stopped pretending and changed her name to Brother Xiu instead of Teacher Ding.

After exchanging a few words, Ding Xiu and Gao Yuanyuan left.

Tong Dawei and others also went back to their respective homes.

Several students pulled their suitcases out and were picked up at Nortel's door. Some were picked up by their parents in luxury cars, and some were picked up by company agents.

Some are picked up by taxi drivers.

All of a sudden, the gap became apparent.

I didn't realize it when I was in school. It was only after I left school that I realized how big the gap was. They were not the same people at all.

The show here is finished, and on the other side, the second episode has started to air.

Ding Xiu reprimanded Yuan Shanshan and the students who went out to drink. They were like eggplants beaten by frost and did not dare to say a word.

Tong Meng was stone-hard, and said a few words with a pinched neck, "I am happy to mention forty times."

The audience watched with amusement, they liked to watch Ding Xiu punish the newcomers.

"Let's talk about it. Isn't what Ding Xiu did a bit too much? We are all adults. It's okay to drink some beer."

"We are also college students. We often go out and party on weekends. It is normal to drink some alcohol."

"After a drink, everyone can open up their hearts more. Yuan Shanshan did nothing wrong, but Ding Xiu made a fuss out of a molehill."

"The reason why Ding Xiu is making a fuss is because he has never encountered any trouble before. We have a senior here who drank himself to death at a party two days before graduation."

"I won't mention the place. A girl went out drinking with her sisters. The next day, she was found in the green belt. Well, she was fine. It's just that. It is said that a beggar passing by in the middle of the night picked up a second wave."

"Ding Xiu may seem strict, but he is actually responsible. If you are a parent, do you want your children to smoke and drink in school?"

“Only after I got out of society did I realize that the teacher who punished me with detention and slapped my palms for not doing homework was a good teacher.”

Not all netizens think what Ding Xiu did was wrong. On the contrary, most netizens support him and understand his actions.

A strict teacher produces a good disciple, who understands everything.

Compared to the first issue, the second issue has much more to watch.

They were punished for drinking and scolded for tongue twisters in the morning. The students had a bumpy journey, which made the audience feel extremely distressed.

Of course, there are also those who are hated by people, such as Tong Mengshi and Song Yanfei. They were scolded for being late, and the audience did not sympathize with them at all.

They even followed up with the barrage of curses.

On Weibo, Song Yanfei watched her fans swipe away, feeling extremely distressed. The comment section was full of people scolding her, so she had no choice but to explain to netizens overnight.

But she couldn't explain it at all. One after another came, and she was tired.

Just leave a comment and let me know how you like it.

……

Qin Chao Entertainment, Qin Gang and Ding Xiu are preparing for the year-end meeting.

It’s the end of the year, and I have to summarize what I’ve achieved this year and plan next year’s work.

For artists, rewards deserve rewards and criticism deserves criticism.

It was still a long time before leaving the meeting, and Ding Xiu was sitting in the office playing League of Legends.

He was the boss and no one scolded him in the meeting, so he was not afraid at all and could play the game with peace of mind.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

"Enter!"

Ding Xiu didn't look up when he heard the knock on the door.

Tang Yan came in with a cup of coffee and said with a smile: "Brother Xiu, you have worked hard, I will give you a cup of coffee."

"Thank you, leave it alone."

When Tang Yan came to him, she realized that he was playing a game and the corner of his mouth twitched.

People outside are very busy, and as the boss, he is just playing games and fishing.

"Brother Xiu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you have time? Let's have a meal together."

The screen turned gray and he was killed alone. Ding Xiu touched his nose, then picked up the coffee and said: "For business matters, please contact Lao Qin."

For the artists in the company, he could tell what shit they were doing as soon as they stuck their butts out.

Nine out of ten people who come to the Three Treasures Palace to see him for any reason want to obtain more resources and get a good show.

He didn't dare to agree casually.

Who doesn’t want a protagonist?

If you agree to one, you will face a bunch of them next.

If you don’t worry about the scarcity, you should worry about the unevenness.

Let them strive for it based on their abilities. What the company can do is give them a push when they need it, so that their careers can take a step forward.

Not every step needs to be pushed by the company.

Tang Yan was embarrassed: "Brother Xiu, I want to renew my contract."

Ding Xiu was surprised: "If I remember correctly, you still have a few years left, don't you think about it carefully?"

Tang Yan was signed during the Third of Immortals. It has been six years, and there are still a few years left before the contract expires, so there is no time to negotiate.

It would not be wise to talk now. Because if we talked a year later, she might be more popular and have more talking capital during this period.

It’s easy to make requests when the time comes.

Renewing her contract now may not necessarily be a good thing for her.

Tang Yan said sincerely: "Brother Xiu, you brought me here. I am yours in life and your ghost in death. I will do whatever you ask me to do. I have never planned to leave the company."

Ding Xiu smiled and didn't take it seriously. Just listen to what he said. Whoever believes it is a fool.

"Tell me what the conditions are."

"I want the female lead in Tomb Raiders."

"You have great powers, I know this." Ding Xiu was a little surprised.

The film and television rights for Tomb Raiders have been with the company for many years, but have not been developed.

This novel was recommended to him by the author of Ghost Blowing the Lamp back then.

He has been quite busy in recent years. Ding Xiu has been focusing on movies in recent years, and he is no longer able to watch such movies.

But he doesn't like it, others do.

The copyright will expire in two years, and the author needs to take it back and prepare to sell it a second time.

Qin Gang chatted with him a few days ago and said that instead of letting it expire and waste it, it would be better to film it and treat it as an idol drama to make some money to spend.

Before the year-end meeting, there was a small meeting with senior executives within the company, and it was this small meeting that Ding Xiu attended later.

Not surprisingly, at the small meeting, there was a report on the specific work of this play, whether to choose sole proprietorship or cooperation with multiple companies, how much it is expected to cost, who will perform it, etc.

What surprised Ding Xiu was that Tang Yan knew about this even before the meeting started. It seemed that she was not stupid at all.

"Don't worry about it, Brother Xiu, just tell me if it can be done?"

Tang Yan looked at Ding Xiu expectantly and said.

Ding Xiu didn't make a sound. He tapped his fingertips on the desk surface with a thoughtful look on his face. After a few seconds, he said:

"I originally prepared this play for Xiao Zhao."

Okay, okay, it hit her belly button, Tang Yan almost cried.

Just because Zhao Liying has been Ding Xiu's assistant for several years, not only helping to sign contracts with companies, but also arranging roles, personally finding people and resources, and also helping her endorse.

No matter what good thing happens, think of her.

Tang Yan wondered if Ding Xiu had any leverage.

If there was nothing wrong with him, she would like to ask Ding Xiu if he still needs an assistant, and she should study for a few years.

"Don't look at me like that." Seeing Tang Yan's expression, Ding Xiu knew what she was thinking: "Tomb Raiders Notes is a big project, and I can't finish one film or two."

"Lao Qin means to take the route of online dramas and sell them to video websites."

"I wonder if a celebrity like you can't watch online dramas. Let's forget it for Xiao Zhao. After she finishes filming Hua Qiangu, she can make a transition to Grave Robbers."

Web dramas have been around for a long time. If you count carefully, they have a history of more than ten years.

It’s just that there wasn’t much topic before.

Only college students and videographers with no money but dreams can create online dramas.

You don’t even need professional equipment for camera equipment. You can do it with a mobile phone, and there is no threshold at all.

Directors in the industry can't watch online dramas at all, they are disdainful and embarrassing.

The big screen is the battlefield for real men.

However, as the Internet has developed in recent years, more and more netizens are surfing the Internet. After the rise of several major video websites, online dramas have ushered in new developments.

The diaosi men on Youku are quite popular.

According to incomplete statistics, the diaosi men's series alone has increased the number of members by millions.

Tencent Video and iQi Video are also developing online dramas this year. They have made great efforts to provide subsidies and benefits. It is not an exaggeration to say that they spend a lot of money to obtain dramas.

This time, Tomb Robbery Notes is also looking for the opportunity and is ready to take advantage of it.

"Who says I don't like it? I do." Tang Yan didn't fall for Ding Xiu's trick: "Brother Xiu, please stop fooling me. I've heard all about it. Twelve episodes, 50 million." Invest and make a big production, okay?"

50 million for just twelve episodes, an average of 4 million per episode.

This production level is top-notch in TV dramas, let alone web dramas.

Ding Xiu laughed. It seemed that Tang Yan didn't know everything: "Fifty million is an external figure and is meant to deceive people."

"The actual investment will not exceed 20 million. Putting aside the actors' remuneration, the cost of production is estimated to be around 1 million per episode."

"Then I'll act too." Tang Yan said immediately.

According to the normal production model of online dramas, which usually cost 10,000 yuan per minute, it would not cost more than 1 million to shoot twelve episodes.

But Ding Xiu personally said that the production cost of a single episode is one million, how sophisticated does this have to be?

"Look at you, you are in a hurry." Ding Xiu said calmly: "Aren't you developing very well? Why are you so anxious?"

"It's quite good. Isn't it exciting for Yang Mi? Now I accept all kinds of films. As long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely seize it."

Last year, she would definitely not be able to watch online dramas.

But not now.

The three dramas that were filmed before, The Rich Lady Thief, He Yi Sheng Xiao Silent, Lively and Fragrant, were all suppressed.

Originally, she planned to rely on these three dramas to make a turnaround and take her career to the next level.

But now that the show has been suppressed, I don’t know when it will be aired.

If the speed is fast, it will be at least a year later.

In the intervening year, she had to find something to do, and Tomb Raider Notes was a good transition.

She has researched this novel with her agent. It is very popular and has many fans. It will definitely become a hit if it is filmed.

Ding Xiu smacked his lips and asked, "How many years will you renew your contract?"

Tang Yan had thought about it before coming and said directly: "I will renew for another six years."

Ding Xiu slapped the table: "Deal!"

Tang Yan's previous contract expired in four years, and on this basis, it would be ten years after another six years.

She won't be able to leave until 2024.

She was born in 1983. She is thirty-one now and will be forty-one ten years from now.

Basically, the best youth was left in Qin Chao Entertainment. When the contract expired, the value was basically squeezed out.

When the time comes she wants to stay, but the company doesn't necessarily want her.

As for Zhao Liying, Ding Xiu had his own compensation. Without the tomb robbing notes, he would give her something better.
