Chapter 293 Brother Xiu, a great master cannot do without you
There are many people on the yacht, and most of the company's artists have come, except Qin Lan who is filming.
Everyone drank and chatted, danced and laughed, and the atmosphere was very good.
The weather is good today, the sky is blue and cloudless. Ding Xiu, who had drunk a lot of wine, simply took off his shirt, sat in front of the yacht with his shirtless, under the parasol, put on his sunglasses, and slept at noon with his eyes closed.
Seeing him asleep, Qin Gang did not let others quarrel at him, and gave him plenty of private space.
When I woke up again, it was already afternoon.
Wake up by the cool breeze.
"Fuck, Lao Qin, why don't you call me?"
When I woke up, the yacht was leaning against the shore, and a large number of beautiful bikini girls were almost gone, leaving only a few rough men drinking.
Ding Xiu has a sentence that MMP does not know whether it should be said.
Qin Gang, who was drunk, said in a drunken way: "You have a lot of work during this period, so I'll let you rest for a while."
Although he rarely cared about Ding Xiu, he visited the set at a few times, but he knew very well about Ding Xiu's situation. It was useless to visit the set and send food and drink.
Take charge of the company, do your best to get more male leads, and talk about more big endorsements. This is what Ding Xiu helps.
"I'm so thankful."
When the cool breeze blew, the whole body was cold. Ding Xiu couldn't stand it, so he went into the cabin barefoot and looked for clothes to put on.
Qin Gang asked, "It's almost dark, are you still having fun?"
"Nonsense, the nightclub continues, I'm a little hungry when I buy some skewers."
At night, on the deck, Ding Xiu was drinking and eating skewers. Compared to daylight, this was no longer so lively. The only few people left were just talking about homework and bragging.
When you are tired of drinking, look at the lights on the shore.
Looking at the other side from the sea, it has a novel feeling and a unique flavor.
Relax, comfortable, leisurely, as if the world has suddenly slowed down.
Ding Xiu spent this kind of life for a month.
Until Wang Jiawei's arrival, he broke his peaceful life.
"Brother Xiu, I'm so happy, I really know how to enjoy life."
Wang Sunjiu sat facing Ding Xiu with a glass of red wine, and said with a smile.
"Director Wang has something to ask me for?" Ding Xiu was wearing beach pants, with a cigar in his hand, leaning against the sofa, crossing his legs, and red wine on the coffee table in front of him.
The company's team building ended in a few days, and Qin Gang and Yang Siwei went back to do their own work.
A few hours ago, Qin Gang called and said that Wang Jiawei was looking for him. He didn't say anything on the phone, but just said he would talk in person, so he revealed the news about himself here.
Putting down the wine glass, Wang Jiawei smiled and said, "Is this true? Can't you come to see you if you have nothing to do?"
Ding Xiu: "..."
Is their relationship that good?
If I remember correctly, I have only met three times in total. The first time I challenged the eight major sects, I took a quick glance in the teahouse, and the second time I took a photo of Wolf Teeth, he came to ask Bajiquan, and the third time I was to guide Wolf Teeth filming on the set.
After taking a photo all night, it was useless to take any effort. Wu Jing and the others reshoot it later.
"Ahem, it's really something to do with you." Wang Jiawei didn't hide it and said seriously: "Do you still remember the new movie I told you last year? I have been thinking about it and still want to invite you to play an important role."
Ding Xiu waved his hand: "Director Wang, thank you for your favor, I also want to act in your play, but I really can't adjust it in terms of schedule."
There is nothing that can't be too harsh when Wang Sunjing's show. I don't know how many years it will take to go there. My wife will remarry when she doesn't come back.
It's not worth making such a big sacrifice to make some money.
Even if he could win awards when filming Wang Sun Glass, he wouldn't go.
"No, why don't you read the script first, I'll bring it all." Ding Xiu refused without thinking. Wang Jiawei was anxious and took out the script from his bag: "I've polished this script for ten years.
Year."
After ten years of hard work, he is indeed very sincere, but he still cannot cover up the fact that he is struggling to film.
Ding Xiu took the script politely, just glanced at it and smiled.
The protagonist Ip Man!
That's right, it's Ip Man who just released the screen and is very popular.
God has been sharpening his sword for ten years. I am afraid that I am not the name of the protagonist who has been popular because he has temporarily changed his name, so he wants to gain popularity.
"It's great, Director Wang, you could have thought of filming Ip Man ten years ago. Unfortunately, if you move faster, you won't have anything to do with Donnie Yen."
Ip Man is a very unpopular martial arts senior. Not to mention an outsider, even those in the martial arts circle, rarely know this person, that is, the people of Wing Chun who are familiar with it.
Of course, all this refers to before Ip Man's release this year.
After the release of the Ip Man movie, this character became popular, including Master Bruce Lee, Master Wing Chun, folk heroes, etc., with many labels.
Dante Xiu knew that Wang Jiawei must have not known Ip Man ten years ago.
"It's okay, it doesn't exist. Everyone shoots their own photos." Wang Jiawei did not blush at all and said calmly: "The things I took were different from those they did. What I wanted to shoot was a martial arts story, and they shot a person's.
The martial arts story.”
"I have seen the deceased martial arts world you played. I have wanted to work together for a long time. Your temperament is really suitable for an important figure in my movie. This time I sincerely invite you to play it."
Ding Xiu didn't even raise his head, and continued to look through the script, saying, "I play the role... Yixiantian?"
The script is the outline at the beginning, and the character he wants to play is behind. The name is very sloppy and a strait.
Ding Xiu couldn't understand what circumstances Wang Jiawei gave the character this name.
Did you think of it when watching a movie?
"Yes, the first-line sky." Wang Jiawei said in a deep voice: "The male lead is Liang Chaowei, who plays Ip Man, you are the second-line sky, the female lead Zhang Ziyi, and the second-line sky, Song Huiqiao."
Liang Chaowei, Zhang Ziyi, Ding Xiu, and Song Huiqiao, it is definitely a big lineup for those four people to be brought together.
They are all famous domestic actors.
Liang Chaowei, the best actor, was poor, Zhang Ziyi, international actress, Ding Xiu, Song Huiqiao, is a popular artist, and is very popular among the younger generation.
Ding Xiu narrowed his eyes, and continued to look through the script.
Liang Chaowei is the first male and second male. He is already a high-profile match, not to mention that Zhang Ziyi and Song Hye-qiao are also starring. Which one is not more popular than him?
However, when Ding Xiu felt so distressed when he thought of Wang Jiawei's filming.
Seeing that Ding Xiu was a little moved, Wang Jiawei continued to bewitch: "Your role has a strong role, you have a role opposite Liang Chaowei, and you also have emotional entanglements with the female lead Zhang Ziyi, and you have great personal charm."
"Villain?"
"No, I don't have villains in this drama. In the general environment, everyone's choices have their own reasons. What I want to film is the martial arts world during the turbulent period, the martial arts character and the philosophy of the martial arts..."
In Wang Jiawei's mouth, the scene of the martial arts world in the Republic of China slowly unveiled. Some people ran to open a martial arts hall for survival, some gathered righteous men for family and country justice, some people assassinated the enemy with their martial arts, some people were afraid of death, and became traitors for glory and wealth.
.
This world has long love for children, family hatred, national hatred, warrior character, and backbone of China.
Ding Xiu was a little moved, but he still gritted his teeth and nodded, and continued to read the script.
There are many scenes in the first lunar calendar. They have three or four fight scenes with the male protagonist Ip Man, and they also have emotional entanglements with the female lead Gong Er. Finally, they become the guardian and silently guard near Gong Er's house.
The master of the generation, Ip Man, was for martial arts, Gong Er, was for revenge, and was just for Gong Er.
Three masters, three choices.
Judging from the script alone, it is indeed very attractive. Ding Xiu has been in the top three for so many years in his career.
Back then, Lao Mouzi made a martial arts hero film, but he was so irrelevant that he was not on the same level as this master.
"Director Wang, I want to ask, if I join the team, how long will it take to shoot?"
Finally, Ding Xiu spoke.
He had a glimmer of hope for Wang Sunji. If he could write a guarantee letter to him and the shooting time was normal, he would be willing to take pictures.
Wang Jiawei smiled lightly, pushed his sunglasses, and said, "It won't last, it will last for three years."
I'm damn!
Ding Xiu looked at the coffee table and wanted to grab the ashtray and smash it on the other person's head.
Three years, I, Cao Nima, three years, what's the point? How many three years does a person have in his life?
"Director Wang, welcome you to visit me, eat and drink well, have fun these days, I will personally give you my gift when the movie will be released. If I am not upset, I will definitely support you."
Wang Jiawei was amused and crying: "Then, how long can you take pictures?"
Ding Xiu raised three fingers: "Two months!"
It’s just the second male lead, not the first male lead, and it doesn’t have to run through the entire movie. Generally speaking, two months is the shooting cycle of the second male lead in the normal movie.
"It's too short. I can't just take pictures of you. Let's take a step back. I promise you will be finished within one year."
"Director Wang, then let's have a drink."
"Young people have a long-term vision, don't worry about temporary gains and losses. Believe me, this drama will be one of your representative works in life."
"Director Wang, I'm not interested in these things. Two months, one day more than one day. If you can finish filming me in two months, I'll consider joining the group."
"consider?"
"Yes, consider it, because the pay has not been negotiated yet, you know, I'm not cheap now."
Wang Jiawei's mouth twitched.
The pay is a trivial matter. He can afford Liang Chaowei and Zhang Ziyi, so he can't afford Ding Xiu's money.
However, it is a good thing for Ding Xiu to value money, and he is worried that nothing can impress Ding Xiu.
"Let's do this, I won't give you the package price for this drama, how about paying it monthly? I'll give you 700,000 yuan a month. Even if I delay you for a year, you won't delay making money."
It’s 700,000 a month and 8.4 million a year. Although it’s not too much, it’s also a lot. Ding Xiu has no chance to go out to take on some private work, and it’s not a problem to make a lot of money in a year.
"One million, one million a month, you can shoot as long as you want."
Ding Xiu spoke directly.
If Wang Jiawei is willing, he can take a picture of him to his retirement age.
"Pap!"
Wang Jiawei gritted his teeth and slapped his thighs and said, "Okay, I'll follow this price."
He calculated that the most time-consuming thing in this drama was practicing martial arts before joining the group. Liang Chaowei had been in seclusion for half a year, learning Wing Chun every day, and Zhang Ziyi was also learning gossip.
Ding Xiu himself is a master of Bajiquan, and he can save a lot of time without learning.
After joining the group, you can allocate your time well. If you are lucky, you can finish Ding Xiu in at most five or six months.
The reason why he is lucky is that he never reads scripts when filming. The scripts Ding Xiu will take now do not count. When he arrives on the set, what he shoots the next day depends on what he thinks the day before.
Ding Xiu had seventy or eighty scenes at this time, and it might be possible that there would be only more than ten scenes left by then.
"Director Wang, eat well and drink well." Ding Xiu's face changed and he smiled and brought tea and wine.
One million a month, no loss. If it weren't for the conditions, he would have wanted to retire and die. He would not have a funeral after death. He would let his son continue to act. In short, he would have been a lifelong man.
...
Wang Jiawei was quick to move. After chatting with Ding Xiu about the details, he immediately notified the company to prepare the contract.
Qin Chao Entertainment, Qin Gang almost laughed when he saw a monthly salary of one million. Wang Sunjing was indeed very sincere and could do anything for art.
Ding Xiu finished all the contract details, signed, stamped, took makeup photos, and made styling in just one month.
Just when he was about to enter the group and accept a monthly salary of one million, Wang Jiawei told him that he would not have to join the group first, and he would notify him when the time came.
What a joke, Ding Xiu's pay is so expensive. Before he could shoot his scenes, Wang Jiawei was beaten to death and refused to let him join the group.
"Director Wang, then I can't wait for you in vain. I have a lot of work. Do you think you will start counting the salary from today?"
Ding Xiu stopped doing it, and it was not counted as the shooting cycle before joining the group. This was impossible. This was like calling the lady, when she was packing, she touched and took off her. As a result, you didn't reach the last step.
If you don’t count on time, isn’t this a hooligan?
I'll give you money if you order something, but I'll pay attention to you.
I will fight you hard.
"Ahem, Brother Xiu, that's not what you said. Before you officially join the group, I don't care about what you want to do. It's your freedom to take on advertisements, commercial performances, and guest appearances.
I will notify you in advance and promise not to delay your affairs..."
After much persuasion, Wang Jiawei finally stabilized Ding Xiu with all kinds of guarantees.
However, it didn't delay much time, only two months. Even if Ding Xiu was not allowed to join the group within two months, he would calculate his salary.
"Okay, stay at the front line of people, and we can meet each other in the future. I won't force you too much. Director Wang, I'll give you this face."
"Brother Xiu, your voice is very strait now."
"Don't mention this name soon. I'm very curious. How did you think of Yishitian? Did you have any experiences when you were young?"
"I don't know the name written by the screenwriter. By the way, you know the screenwriter, Xu Haofeng."
"Old Xu, I'm familiar with this."
Xu Haofeng, the lost martial arts director, played his male lead before Ding Xiu made his fortune. It can be said that if it weren't for Xu Haofeng, he wouldn't have been like him today.
But in recent years, everyone has been busy and has little time to meet. I didn’t expect that this would happen if I met again.
"Tell me to Lao Xu and tell him not to leave. Wait until I join the group and ask him for a drink!"
"Don't worry, I will bring you these words."
Last year, Wang Jiawei thought about letting Ding Xiu play the role of Yixiantian. Later, Ding Xiu did not play it, so he extinguished his thoughts.
After that, many actors were interviewed, but they failed to meet the requirements. Screenwriter Xu Haofeng once again strongly recommended Ding Xiu and said a lot about Ding Xiu.
Thinking of the teahouse fighting against the eight major sects, Wang Jiawei finally made up his mind to let Ding Xiu play.
