"Brother Xiu, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with Wang Baoqiang."
After Wang Baoqiang left, Zhao Liying returned to the living room and said.
She joined the company late, and she didn't know that Wang Baoqiang was from Qin Chao Entertainment before.
The most important impression of this name comes from the labels of grassroots stars and Hengpiao idols.
In recent years, Beijing Film Studio has produced two stars, one Ding Xiu and the other Wang Baoqiang. Ding Xiu became popular earlier and Wang Baoqiang became popular later. Those who don’t know would think that the two were not from the same period.
In the eyes of the public, Ding Xiu's popularity is much higher than that of Wang Baoqiang, and the two have completely different ranks.
But in the eyes of Hengpiao and extras, Ding Xiu is not as inspiring as Wang Baoqiang.
Although both of them are grassroots, Ding Xiu's face is naturally not inspiring and looks too handsome.
Wang Baoqiang is different. Rural children are uneducated and ugly. From extras to supporting roles, to blind wells, it is very difficult to get to the present day step by step.
A much stronger sense of substitution.
Many extras will think when they see Wang Baoqiang, he can do it, why can't I?
Seeing Ding Xiu, he didn't have this idea.
The same is true for Zhao Liying. She once had dreams and regarded Ding Xiu as an idol and a benchmark on the road of life.
After a long time of contact, this benchmark will be broken.
Not to mention Ding Xiu is handsome, a professional costumer, and a good villain. With his martial arts skills, it is not something that ordinary people can achieve.
Not to mention that he is proficient in riding horses, shooting archery, reading classical Chinese without barriers, and can speak ancient words with open mouths, and has a deep understanding of ancient words, deeds, and food culture.
Ding Xiu, who was lying on the sofa, wrapped his body in a blanket, drank a sip of tea, and looked on the TV.
"Baoqiang, an old acquaintance, I have known each other for many years. We used to live in a basement, but later, after the conditions improved, we lived together for another year. There was also an old man named Huang Bo together."
"This guy is so inspiring. He took the Beijing Film Academy several times and finally entered the school as the oldest student in history. Now he works as an actor in our company and often films outside. You may not have seen him..."
Maybe it was bored, Ding Xiu and Zhao Liying said something. Zhao Liying listened very seriously and helped to renew a cup of tea in the middle.
"Brother Xiu, that's you. If it were ordinary people who had achieved success, they might not have had contact with their former ordinary friends again."
He felt that the boss was a nostalgic person and helped his former friends a lot, so he did not distance himself because he became famous.
Including Jia Ling, the assistant, he helped find a job when he encountered it at the toll station.
In an era of material desires, there are not many such people.
Ding Xiu laughed in silence: "Who told me that Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo are ordinary, Wang Baoqiang won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer in his first male lead movie in his life, and won the Best Actor at a foreign film festival. He was only twenty-one years old at that time
. ""
"If he hadn't been too young, the director of the film Blind Well was not strong and had no background or connections, he would have been likely to win the Best Actor Award at the Golden Horse Awards back then."
"At the age of twenty-one, I won so many awards in my first movie in my life. If these people are ordinary, there will be no ordinary people in the world."
"You may not know that Baoqiang has never been to school. He used to hold many scripts and didn't recognize them, and he couldn't speak Mandarin."
"Ah." Zhao Liying opened her mouth in surprise, her eyes wide open.
If you can't speak Mandarin and don't know how to speak, how can you win the best actor like this?
Ding Xiu said to himself: "Because he doesn't know how to do it, he just studies. He holds a dictionary in his pocket every day and has time to read newspapers. Over time, he knows Mandarin and rarely encounters words he doesn't know."
"I know, you young people now regard Baoqiang as their idol. They think he can do it. Why can't they do it? In my opinion, 99% of people are not as good as Baoqiang."
"Wang Baoqiang is talented in acting, very strong. He has never attended professional acting classes in one day, but his acting skills have already beaten many professional graduates."
"Not to mention his hard work, whether it is the 39th or 30th day of the summer, he will go to the entrance of Beijing Film Studio to squat before dawn. He will squat for a whole day, eat a steamed bun when he is hungry, and drink tap water in the water pipe when he is thirsty."
"At that time, he was young, and other extras were all twenty-one days. The group leader gave him fifteen days to film and acted as a stand-in. He was beaten several times a day and was covered in bruises."
"When he had no chance, he was not idle. He went to the construction site to move bricks and carry cement. He was not a man after a day. Once he came back exhausted and said that he would lie down for a while before washing his feet, but his eyes closed.
I fell asleep in seconds and woke up again the next afternoon. If he hadn't been snoring, I would have thought he would have been dead."
"How many young people in their 18 or 19 years old can eat the hardships he has suffered?"
Ding Xiu picked up the teacup and paused, "Talented, willing to work hard, and endure hardships. How could Wang Baoqiang be ordinary like this? What he lacks from Dahong and Zi is just an opportunity, just like a blind well, there is no such thing in the world.
A chance like that."
Zhao Liying became more and more frightened as she listened. Ding Xiu's tone was filled with endless bitterness that Wang Baoqiang said. In fact, she is about the same age as Wang Baoqiang who was drifting in Beijing back then.
But she couldn't afford any of the hardships that Wang Baoqiang suffered.
When I was still working on the assembly line, I worked overtime every day and felt that my future was dark.
I asked her to experience moving bricks on the construction site, carrying cement, and being beaten as a stand-in on the set. I was afraid that she would have to carry a bucket and run back to her hometown in two days.
I was idle, so Ding Xiu smashed his mouth and continued: "Let's talk about Huang Bo, I haven't made a personal appearance in my thirties, but he was very glorious when he was young."
"He dropped out of high school and formed a band and took a few young people to play rock. When his classmates were still in school, he easily earned more than 10,000 yuan a month by performing. That was the monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan in the 1990s. You want to
What concept to think of.”
"He can not only sing, but also dance. He has been a dance teacher for several years. His talent in performance is no better than Wang Bao. He is the best among the three of us. He has been in the Beijing Film Academy for two years and his progress is only high and low.
. ""
"So, he is the same as Wang Baoqiang, and the worst is still a chance, a chance to soar into the sky."
Holding my chin with both hands, Zhao Liying Qiyi asked, "Where is me, Brother Xiu, what do you think is the difference between me and success?"
Ding Xiu glanced at him: "You? You may not even know what you want, so why are you talking about success?"
It was an unintentional question, but unexpectedly, Ding Xiu would say such words, and Zhao Liying was silent all of a sudden.
She really doesn't know what she wants.
I used to think of making money by working, and then saving some money back to my hometown to find a man to marry.
After becoming an assistant, I want to save more money, eat well, drink well, and live well, so that I can live better with my family.
But these are just basic physiological needs, safety needs, not dreams.
"Huh." Ding Xiu's eyes suddenly saw the figure in the surveillance camera, turned his head to Zhao Liying and said, "You get off work first today."
"Oh, OK boss."
Zhao Liying also saw the surveillance footage. The person at the door was wearing a mask and a hat. He looked like a woman and was taking out the key to open the door.
Needless to say, the boss’s “good friend” is here.
Taking his backpack, Zhao Liying left and happened to face the woman in the yard.
The woman has taken off her mask, and under the brim of the hat is a bit fleshy face, with delicate and beautiful facial features.
"Isn't this Zhou Zhiruo?" Zhao Liying was surprised. She thought it was Qin Lan.
The boss is having fun.
"Hello sister, I am Brother Xiu's assistant Xiao Zhao."
"Hello." Gao Yuanyuan nodded with a smile, and stepped into the house to look for Ding Xiu.
Looking back at her back, Zhao Liying walked out of the yard, and Ding Xiu, who valued love and friendship, once again refreshed her cognition.
"Maybe just an ordinary friend."
In the room, the friends were already entangled.
The TV was loud, and it was played with the story of the bandit suppression of Wulong Mountain. The sound of guns and cannons was deafening. A battle for positions began. After a long time, the bandits were cleared, leaving only a single corpse.
He squeezed on the sofa with Ding Xiu, covering a blanket, Gao Yuanyuan wrapped herself around his neck and said, "Tell me, why call me?"
She was busy with work, stayed at home for the Chinese New Year for a day and hurried to the crew. Ding Xiu urged her to come back several times.
"I've returned the money to you. The Legend of Sword and Fairy has been sold. The funds have been returned to you. You have returned the 500,000 yuan."
When investing in the Fairy Sword, Gao Yuanyuan gave him 500,000 yuan. So long has passed, and the TV series has been sold, and the money has been paid, so he can't think that nothing has happened before.
Holding Ding Xiu's face in both hands, Gao Yuanyuan said, "I remember who said that he was owed debts, one or two yuan at a time. I don't want the money anymore. You can find a small notebook and remember it. Now you owe me 490,000 yuan.
Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.”
Ding Xiu shivered.
"I owe 499,998 now?"
Gao Yuanyuan punched him and said viciously: "This doesn't count."
After half an hour, Ding Xiu paid back the dollar, Gao Yuanyuan leaned against his chest and said, "I bought all the Sword and Fairy Fairy. I guess I'm not far from the broadcast. Didn't you move?"
"If the local station is not on the stars, there is naturally no publicity. It will be broadcast this month and it will take a few days."
Gao Yuanyuan comforted him: "As long as you don't lose money, just treat it as accumulating experience."
All provincial TV stations can watch it all across the country, but local TV stations cannot. Only the audience in that province can watch it, but other provinces cannot watch it.
It's equivalent to a sudden current limit.
Just a province of audiences, no matter how high the ratings are, how high can it be?
Obviously, the Legend of Sword and Fairy was defeated this time.
"Don't worry, I'm more open-minded than you." Holding up my pants, Ding Xiu got up and poured water to drink, then rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and took out the gift he bought for Gao Yuanyuan.
"I bought it for you specifically to see if I like it or not."
Gao Yuanyuan opened the box and found a jade necklace: "Is this quite expensive?"
"My brother is not short of money now. How expensive can it be?"
This necklace is hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is indeed quite expensive, but thinking about Qin Lan spent more than one million yuan, so she can’t leave it here.
He got up and ran to the mirror. Gao Yuanyuan put on the necklace in front of the mirror, turned around and hugged Ding Xiu's neck and said, "Thank you, it's very beautiful, I like it very much."
"Just like it."
"For the sake of giving me such a valuable gift, I will take you to my house after finishing this time."
Ding Xiu's eyelids twitched: "So fast?"
Gao Yuanyuan frowned: "Hurry? You won't want to go, right?"
Ding Xiu laughed dryly: "How is that possible? I just wasn't mentally prepared."
"I am not young anymore, one year older than you. I am twenty-six years old this year. I can waste my time in a few years. Let's take it step by step, meet the parents first, and determine the relationship. I won't force you to get married.
It would be fine to delay for two or three years."
Ding Xiu had no way to refute this, so he could only nod in tears. If he said half of the word, it would be a fierce battle immediately.
"Okay."
"Then you pay attention to schedule and don't be too busy."
After patting Ding Xiu's face gently, Gao Yuanyuan ran to change her clothes happily.
...
In the evening, Qin Gang's office was filled with smoke.
Ding Xiu put down the cigar in his hand and sighed: "Old Qin, what do you think?"
"I'll sit on the sofa and watch." Qin Gang said helplessly: "It's not a matter of time sooner or later. If you step on two boats, you should have thought of today."
"Choose one of two, think about it yourself."
"Can't you want both?"
Qin Gang's ashes fell halfway and was silent for a while: "Brother Xiu, what I admire most is that you dare to think about ordinary people but not think about them, and you dare not do ordinary people. Otherwise, you will make an appointment with the two and let them discuss it."
"In the future, you go to the villa on the 135th and 246th and live in the 46th courtyard. On weekends, you should be a holiday for me."
Ding Xiu thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "It's not impossible."
Qin Gang bowed his fists and said, "Brother Xiu, if you really become a good person, don't forget to give me some advice. If you fail, I will burn incense to you during the holidays in the future."
"The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, let's go with the flow." Ding Xiu stood up and said, "While the thunder has not exploded yet, I will make some money quickly so that I will not become a pauper when it cools down one day."
"I've prepared it for you a long time ago." Qin Gang took out a bunch of contracts: "The commercial performances and endorsements that have been accumulated after the Spring Festival Gala are all expensive, and this wave is enough for you to retire."
Considering that Ding Xiu didn't have much rest in the second half of last year and the pressure on the Spring Festival Gala was too high, he specially gave him a few days off.
Now that he wants to make money, he naturally has to take out the contract.
"I will take the contract first, and let Yang Siwei come here tomorrow."
Even if Qin Gang had screened it once, Ding Xiu didn't take it all. He had to screen it again when he went back, and some people didn't want to accept it, so they didn't accept it.
Qin Gang scratched his head and watched Ding Xiu leave with a wry smile. The boss was so tough that he couldn't even refute it.
At the end of February, the Fairy Sword and Fairy was spread. There was no big publicity on the local station. The trailer was broadcast a week in advance. Several starring actors were finished with a wave of publicity on their blog.
The local station has a small traffic, and there were not many viewers watching the first few days.
After five or six days of play, the popularity gradually increased. The first thing that rose was the viewership rate, from 2% to 3%, to 5% and 6%.
This time, the break of five and six does not refer to the national ratings share at the same time, because it is a local station, which refers to the audience ratings ratio in the province.
Seeing the ratings soaring, local stations adjusted the broadcast time as soon as possible, from around 9 o'clock to 7:35 prime time.
After this adjustment, the ratings rose again, breaking seven, breaking eight, breaking nine, breaking ten, directly crushing the ratings of the provincial audience.
Even so, most viewers across the country still cannot see this drama, only audiences in one province can see it, and those who see it are complaining about the drama.
"I recommend a drama to everyone. Starring Ding Xiu and Shenxian Sister, the supporting roles include Teacher Xu Jingjiang and Teacher Li Lizhen, which is very good."
"I don't care about Ding Xiu and Liu Yifei, mainly for Teacher Xu and Teacher Li. What is the name of the drama?"
"Thank you, good people have a safe life, so I'll ask for the name of the drama."
"The drama is called "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and is broadcast on local stations. Only viewers from Yunnan can watch it. Everyone should take a break."
"I'm chasing every day, it's really good, the special effects are first-class, the acting is first-class, An Yixuan and Sun Li are also here, the theme song and interlude are very nice, June rain, Xiaoyao sigh, it's always quiet, three songs are recommended to everyone
