After the wedding, Ding Xiu, who had been drinking and drinking, returned to the hotel in the evening.
Since his rebirth, this was probably the one he drank the most. Gao Yuanyuan didn't even listen to the advice at the banquet, and Qin Lan also came to persuade him once, but it was useless.
Huang Bo kept holding Ding Xiu's hand and whispering words of gratitude, saying that when Ding Xiu's wedding later, he would definitely drink until he vomited blood.
What Huang Bo didn’t know was that Ding Xiu had to drink so much, and there was no way not to drink it.
Gao Yuanyuan and Qin Lan were waiting for him at the side. Once they went back, there would inevitably be a question: whose room they went to?
I can only get myself drunk, and it will be a new day to wake up tomorrow morning.
Back in the room, Ding Xiu lay down after taking a shower, and the ringtone of his cell phone rang and Gao Yuanyuan called it.
"I know you're not drunk, are you here or I here?"
"Ahem, of course it's me in the past. I don't have the nerve to bother you in such a thing."
Putting on his pants, Ding Xiu put on a coat and went out with the room card.
As soon as he came back, Gao Yuanyuan received the news. No need to guess who reported the secret. There was no other person except Zhao Liying.
Two hours later, Ding Xiu returned to his floor.
Qin Lan sent a text message.
“Do you have barbecue?”
Ding Xiu had barbecue in the middle of the night, so he didn't have the time to have such free time. He had drunk enough today and had a lot of food. Besides, he ordered it this time and it was so cold outside that he wouldn't go.
Before he could refuse, another text message was sent.
“Eat scallops.”
“Arrival now!”
Without stopping, Ding Xiu went out to have a barbecue. This time he came back in the middle of the night, and he was very full of food and came back with the wall.
I didn't get up early the next morning and fell asleep for a long time.
Just thought it was because he drank a little too much yesterday, Zhao Liying didn't urge him to let him sleep by himself.
Because Ding Xiu had to play here for two more days, Yang Siwei, Qin Gang, Yang Mi, Yuan Shanshan and others who were busy with work and studies left first.
During these two days, Huang Bo took Ding Xiu and Wang Baoqiang to eat and drink wildly every day, and vomited all kinds of seafood specialties.
Two days later, he received a call from Yang Siwei, saying that he wanted him to go back and there was something important.
Cheng Long is coming to find him later.
Ding Xiu was a little shocked when he heard this news. He probably guessed what was going on. It should be a mythical TV series. Unexpectedly, Cheng Long came here in person.
I booked the nearest flight and Ding Xiu returned to Peiping that day.
"Brother, why did you come here in person? You said you are really good. If you have any questions, just call me and I will take Ding Xiu over there."
In the office, Qin Gang called Cheng Long to sit down and waited for Ding Xiu's arrival.
Faced with such a big shot, Yang Siwei was not qualified to accompany her, so she could only come in occasionally to serve tea and water.
She wanted to meet Cheng Long, but this kind of occasion was not suitable.
Lao Qin's guest, it was not good for her to show her face and hand over the business card. When she turned around, Lao Qin might not be able to wear small shoes for her.
After all, Qin Gang was the company's open top leader, and the boss was greeting customers. What does it mean to be a broker who rushed up to it?
"Xiao Yang, is it urging Brother Xiu to come?"
"I have arrived in Peking just now, and I have arrived in half an hour."
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. Please let him take it slowly, we're drinking tea, etc. Mr. Qin, let me tell you, this time the investment in myth is very big... In order to ensure quality, I am the director of this drama.
In the system, Tang Jili is the artistic director.”
"If Ding Xiu joins the group, he will not suffer any losses. It will be another hit drama at the end of the year. Congratulations."
In the office, Cheng Long and Qin Gang talk about the mythical story creation and future prospects, and the big cake is a painting after another.
The total investment is 40 million, the costumes are exquisite, the cast is strong, and the behind-the-scenes production team is strong. Even he and Tang Jili personally took the lead as the director, producer and artistic director.
When facing Cheng Long, Qin Gang said very little, and most of the time he spent smiling and nodding, and then he was kind-hearted and polite words that didn’t have money. Thank you for giving face to your elder brother, we must do it well, trust your vision, etc.
Half an hour later, Ding Xiu came to the company, Qin Gang stood up and said, "I have something to do. You chat with your elder brother. After the conversation, everyone will have a meal together tonight."
"Brother, I'm not accompanying you, I'm a little busy, don't be surprised."
"It's okay, you go and do it. Just get the master. I'll tell Ding Xiu if you have something to do."
Before coming, Cheng Long found out that Ding Xiu was not only an artist in Qinchao Entertainment, but also one of the bosses. Unlike ordinary entertainment companies artists who symbolically take some shares, Ding Xiu's shares account for a large proportion.
When he joined hands with Qin Lan, he was the largest shareholder. Qin Gang worked in front of them.
Qin Gang and Ding Xiu gave a look, then closed the door and left, and took a detour to another office to sit and drink tea.
From Qin Gang's eyes, Ding Xiu knew what he meant. In fact, Yang Siwei told him on the phone that he could answer this drama, but he didn't want to negotiate with Cheng Long.
Just leave the negotiation to the broker.
After becoming famous, the only disadvantage of the actors has their own connections is that many directors or producers do not directly give to the agency, but to the artist themselves when submitting scripts.
It’s also true when talking about pay, the actors themselves are sometimes in a dilemma.
Those who can make phone calls or come to the door in person must be familiar with each other. They say it is not appropriate to find an agent, so they still have to finish reading the script.
When you read the script, the director began to tell you the wonderful things of the play, and the role tailored for you, and played the words "Ask for sure" and so on. In fact, he said that to everyone.
If you don't agree, then there will be the emotional card, how good the relationship is, how happy the cooperation in the last drama is, etc.
Under the director's strong attack, many actors could not withstand it. In order to repay favors, they might think the script is good, but they took on the show as they chatted.
When you decide to take on the role and it’s time to talk about the pay, the director’s miserable sales come again. Creation is not easy, and the money is spent on the costumes and the later stages, so you can make do with it.
I couldn't help but the director's sugar-coated shells, and anyone with a thin skin gritted their teeth and recognized the pay.
However, this trick is only effective for first- and second-tier actors. Artists in this rank generally have some say in the company.
If it were a young actor in the 18th line, the director would not be able to win you. If your agent came to ask others for help, they might not have time for you to audition.
...
"We are not secretly talking about it. This drama is a bit difficult and we need to film with real tigers."
"艹!"
Ding Xiugang and Cheng Long chatted for a few words, and suddenly became scared and sweated. He hurriedly said, "Brother, I won't take pictures of the macho man and the beast, you can find someone else."
Cheng Long: “…”
The god-god man and the wild beast, he is talking about a plot in the TV series, okay.
"There is no strong man and wild beasts. There is a scene where you need to fight with tigers. Don't worry, they are all raised in the zoo. They are very well-behaved and obedient."
Ding Xiu rolled his eyes, saying this is a lie to the child. The tiger in the zoo also eats meat. If you are not careful, the sliding shovel will slide into someone's stomach. Who will he ask for to reason with him?
"Brother, tell the truth, have you ever found someone else before looking for me?"
"No, absolutely not." Cheng Long shook his head and said solemnly: "I told you before the script was released last year. How could I find someone else? I am definitely the first one to find you."
He was indeed the first to look for Ding Xiu, but it was unclear whether the rest of the company was looking for it or not.
It is said that I have come into contact with a man named Hu Ge, but I didn’t expect that the car accident has not yet been cured. It has been half a year since I was recovering from the injury.
Some artists said that the schedule was very tight when they heard that they wanted to compete with real tigers, and they needed to ride horses and shoot archers without asking about their pay.
The myth has a large size and a long shooting cycle. If you forcefully shoot a big and long scene, it would be too crowded.
After a round trip, Cheng Long remembered that there was Ding Xiu. This time he didn't come here specifically, but he happened to have a job in Peking and happened to pass by.
Ding Xiu has strong kung fu, so he must be not afraid of tigers. In addition, he is a good player in riding horses and shooting archery. He is handsome in ancient costumes and has a high popularity after the broadcast of New Shanghai Beach. It is absolutely right to find him.
The only thing you need to worry about is the pay issue. What Emperor means is how much you can save.
"Ha, I can trust my brother's words. OK. I'll accept the script and the schedule will be free. Leave the details of the follow-up related matters to the two companies for discussion."
After thinking about it, Ding Xiu still followed the script. Judging from Cheng Long's words, the slightly dangerous thing is fighting with the real tiger.
But there should be safety measures at that time, so that the actor's life will not be used to fill the tiger's stomach.
If there is no safety measure at all, whoever falls in love with him or her will not be able to do so anyway, and whoever dares to say that he breaches the contract will make him or her.
"I don't know you yet. You are the boss of the company. Do you think this is OK? The pay will be priced at 4 million yuan."
"Ah ..."
The package price of 4 million seems to be a little higher than the value before the New Shanghai Beach was broadcast, but it is not much higher, so he is a little inaccurate.
"Brother, I just occupy some shares in the company and receive some dividends every year. I don't count on my words. The salary must be negotiated by the broker. I also need the company boss to sign it later. As for a regular company, the process is like this, forgive me."
"Okay." Cheng Long slapped his thigh and asked him to bargain. He said it, but it didn't work. He did everything he should do, and let the rest give it to the company for a headache.
If he hadn't happened to be on a business trip in Peking, he wouldn't have wanted to bargain.
If he forced Ding Xiu to give him face, he believed that even four million Ding Xiu and the entire Qin Dynasty Entertainment would agree.
But just a few million is not worth his waste of favor. If the words are delivered, let them talk about whether they can achieve success.
"I've finished talking about the matter, let's go out to have some drinks together. I've been here a lot over the years. I know where the dishes are good, and they are even more familiar than you."
"Haha, when I was just moving to Beijing, I heard the story of you, who spent millions of dollars to buy a courtyard house in the singular world. I still believe your vision."
"It's all old past events."
At that time, he spent a lot of money to buy a courtyard house that didn’t even have a bathroom, and he was often scolded for being stupid.
Later, as the housing prices in Peking became higher and higher, those courtyard houses had already increased many times.
Wait, after next year's Olympics, housing prices soar again, and those who joked about him had long been so jealous that their teeth were broken.
To this day, Cheng Long feels that buying so many courtyard houses in Peking is the most correct thing he has done in his life, and this thing is no less than filming.
Even if he retires immediately, he will never be able to use it for several lifetimes by relying on the money from real estate speculation.
...
After accompanying Cheng Long to drink and have dinner, Ding Xiu and Qin Gang did not return to the company, but found a place to eat saunas and massage.
"The four million pay is a little low, and you didn't agree." Listening to Ding Xiu talking about the mythical pay, Qin Gang smiled: "But it would be good if Cheng Long could owe a favor, but unfortunately he didn't persuade him too much.
several times."
Cheng Long’s debt is much more valuable than one or two million.
There are only three or five top artists in the entertainment industry. Cheng Long is the most well-known among Chinese actors. In the future, if he helps him, he will not be allowed to go sideways. There are resources.
"I'm not a fool, how could I say this? Just do the same thing as the public? I guess that the director and producer are just named."
Cheng Long said that he is the director and producer of mythical TV series, and he checks the shooting quality and post-production throughout the process.
Dante Xiu sounded a little unreliable.
The production work is easy and not easy. Sometimes it is more tiring than the director, because the director only coordinates the department on the shooting site, so the production needs more. Communicate with investors, the cost of service, in the crew and the market,
The Lord runs back and forth between fathers.
It is easy to say, because a drama is not just a producer, there are many, and the most can be more than a dozen.
Some producers are in charge of the work, while some producers are completely plagiarized and do nothing every day, and they don’t even have to go to the set.
Ding Xiu suspected that Cheng Long was the second type.
I am not on the set at all if I have a name to add popularity to the TV series.
"Be confident and get rid of the estimate." Qin Gang smiled: "He is a busy man, and he will only work in the production team if his mind is in water."
"Look at the producer and investor, they are both Emperor Ying, and Cheng Long is Emperor Ying, which clearly makes him more popular."
"But you won't lose money when you take on this drama. It's really a big production. With an investment of 40 million, you can do a lot of things."
Nowadays, it is already good to have an investment of over 10 million for ordinary TV series. Two or 30 million is definitely a big production, and 40 million is a top production.
After spending so much money, the producer definitely does not want to waste it and will be more attentive in the production.
Ding Xiu can learn a lot when he can participate in such a top-level production crew, and he will be popular when the show is broadcast.
Before Qin Gang's words, Ding Xiu wiped the sweat from his body in the towel and asked, "Old Qin, how much do you think my body is worth now?"
"If it is in the field of TV dramas, it's okay to have a 100,000 episode."
After the broadcast of New Shanghai Beach, Ding Xiu's net worth increased, 100,000 yuan per episode, which is still the lowest bottom line. Normally, it is reported 120,000 yuan.
Of course, the so-called episode is just a rough idea, and now it is not calculated based on the episode number, and it is usually packaged at a price.
"Fifty episodes of myth, I can make five million," Ding Xiu's eyes lit up suddenly.
"Absolutely, I'll ask Yang Siwei to talk as much as possible, it's almost the same."
Qin Gang spoke sourly, but he only regretted that he didn't have a handsome face. His parents had never sent him to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts since he was a child.
A drama of five million, he can't make so much in a year.
