As the years approach, Ding Xiu walked out of the special effects studio.
The final special effects have been done almost, and he no longer needs to supervise the remaining fragmentary work.
Not to mention, after one or two months, he learned a lot, at least he understood the entire process behind the scenes.
If you are proficient, you will not be deceived in the future. You know where to do it.
During this period, the outside world has not changed much. Xu Haofeng's Japanese pirates have started filming, and the male lead Song Yang passed the test show and began to practice kung fu.
But this drama invested 4 million yuan, and his salary was not high, totaling 200,000 yuan.
He was happy about this, and he didn't mind the money being small at all.
What a young man wants is an opportunity. After becoming famous, he still has some idea of how much money he wants.
"Squeak!"
After a few months, I returned to the Sihe Courtyard in Peking again, and the yard was already covered with leaves.
Before, there were many paparazzi and many fans, so he had to move to another place, and this place was abandoned.
After squatting for a while, he couldn't squat, and the fans and paparazzi also dispersed.
After changing his clothes, Ding Xiu came to Qin Chao Entertainment and went straight to Qin Gang's office. Before he could get to the place, he met Yang Siwei who had just come out of Qin Gang's office.
"By Mr. Qin."
"Let's walk slowly, I won't send you if you are familiar with the road. Come over for dinner another day."
"Okay, Mr. Qin, I'll treat you another day."
Ding Xiu was able to run here even after resigning and running away. He was also convinced by Yang Siwei's ability. If it were another boss, he would probably have been beaten to death.
"Why are you here?"
"Brother Xiu, I'll come here to discuss some business."
He was wearing a big red long skirt, his hair was slightly curly and scattered around his waist, a valuable necklace hanging around his neck, and a jade bracelet on his wrist. Judging from Ding Xiu's eyes, it was estimated that it was about 500,000 yuan.
People rely on clothes, let alone Yang Siwei's outfit is a bit bossy and has a strong aura.
Before, she worked at Qinchao Entertainment, and she became a dog every day. Sometimes she didn't have time to put on makeup. She changed into flat shoes as soon as she entered the office. Her clothes were also focused on casualness and her hair was often tied.
Now that I will become a boss, my aura is completely different.
Nodded, Ding Xiu glanced at Qin Gang: "I'll come over to talk about the embroidered Chundao."
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come in and say, Xiao Yang walks slowly."
He invited Ding Xiu into the office and Qin Gang closed the door.
Qin Gang pushed open a door in the office. This was where he rested. After a while, he came out with a plate of peanuts and a bottle of Moutai in his hand.
Open the drawer and throw two pairs of disposable chopsticks on the coffee table.
"Just make do with it, that's it today."
"Fuck, Lao Qin, are you quitting sex? I haven't seen your secretary for a long time." Before tearing the chopsticks, Ding Xiu grabbed a few fried peanuts with his hands and threw them into his mouth before pouring the wine.
In the past, when I came here every once in a while, I could see different secretaries.
There are royal sisters, young women, and college students.
Even in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea.
But Ding Xiu found out that Qin Gang hadn't used a secretary for a long time, and his current assistant was also a man.
Subconsciously covering his waist, Qin Gang sighed: "It's a shame, I used to be young and ignorant, but I still have to grow up. I'll try some things, I can't be obsessed with them. We have to be the masters of desire. We don't have this willpower, and we will last for the rest of our lives.
He is a slave of desire, how can he do big things..."
"I know there is a folk remedy that nourishes the kidneys. It has a very good effect and can be effective in one week. Drinking it in one month ensures that the dragon spirit and tiger are strong and exude the second spring."
Qin Gang smiled slightly: "I happen to have a friend who needs it, so you give it to me, I'll turn around and give it to him."
Ding Xiu was too lazy to expose him.
Many things in the world are not worthy of seeking. When I was young, I had a good waist, but I could only let my hands be wronged. Later, when I got older, I had money. If I don’t have to let my hands be wrong, I just won’t be able to do it.
Qin Gang did not practice martial arts, and often socializes and sits in the office. With this body, it is good that he can hold on in the past few years.
But it can't stand such squandering.
A media interviewed boxing champion Tyson and asked him what the secret to winning was. He said that he had never had a girlfriend before becoming boxing champion.
Look, even the boxing champion can't stand it. Since he had a girlfriend, the boxing champion has been ruined, let alone Qin Gang.
Ding Xiu drank the wine and said, "I'll send you the prescription afterwards."
After three rounds of wine, half a plate of peanuts was taken.
The two finally talked about the main business, Ding Xiudao: "The ghost blows the lights up, should I arrange the embroidered spring sword?"
Qin Gang was surprised: "Aren't you not acting?"
The role Ding Xiu wants to play is Ding Xiu, but Ding Xiu has very few scenes in the first part, just a supporting role, No. 5 or 6.
If it weren't for watching the company's drama, Qin Gang wouldn't recommend Ding Xiu to star in it.
"Play it, of course." Ding Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "I want to be a director this time."
The behind-the-scenes work during this period was not in vain, the big reason was that he wanted to make a movie by himself.
As a director, you can't understand nothing. It's so boring to just be a puppet.
In addition, he didn't want his hard work to be wasted. This embroidered spring sword was written word by word. The feelings he placed were very deep, so he was worried about handing it over to other directors.
"puff!"
Qin Gang squirted out a sip of wine, widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Are you a director?"
Resisting the desire to slap over with his big mouth, Ding Xiu wiped his face with his sleeve, and said expressionlessly: "Yes, I'll be the director."
Qin Gang said seriously: "Brother Xiu, do you know what depth of field is, what script is, what sense of picture is, and what art is?"
"The director's job is not easy to do, and he needs to coordinate the entire group, props, makeup, and martial arts. Although professionals have done these, the director decides how to do it and what extent it should be done."
"If you are just new and want to be a director, I can let you get a name and do whatever you want to do when you come to the crew. Let's try to listen to the assistant director."
Ding Xiu poured himself another glass of wine, raised his hand, and pulled out a beautiful wine line, and the aroma of the sauce was everywhere.
"It's not a name. I want to take the embroidered spring knife in person this time, and I'm not at ease to leave it to others."
Qin Gang was nervous and he was even more worried about asking him to leave it to Ding Xiu.
The director is not that simple, and people without some skills cannot do it.
"If you are worried about losing money, I will be solely owned by this drama and just hand over the production team to me."
The Embroidered Chundao was not a temporary idea. It started writing scripts a year ago, intermittently, and costumes, props, and sceneries are also being followed. Now the shooting team and post-production are all in place.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is not available.
actor.
As long as the actors are settled, they can be turned on at any time.
If Ding Xiu wants to be a director, he can become a director.
Qin Gang pressed down his eyebrows: "Brother Xiu, what are you saying? Am I that kind of person? You haven't asked me for these years. I've been causing trouble for you. You finally asked me for it. I can
Don't agree?"
"Isn't it just tens of millions? The company is sole proprietorship. You can be a director, just do it."
"Fuck, it's so expensive." Ding Xiu smacked his tongue.
He thought it was eight million.
After all, Xu Haofeng dares to start shooting for four million.
Qin Gang chuckled: "This drama is a big production, with a tentative investment of 40 million yuan, and 70% of the money will be spent on production fees, and the cost of the actors will be reduced, so we have high requirements for casting.
, This is why I hope you will appear in the show before.”
I originally planned to have 15 million.
Later I found out that I couldn’t take pictures and there were many sceneries, which were all labor and material costs.
The cost of props is very high. I have made hundreds of weapons alone, as well as costumes, thousands of sets, all of which are newly customized. The costumes of several major protagonists are handmade.
Because the company is trying to do film and television business, it has also bought some shooting equipment and machines, which are all money.
After finishing all of them, I found that the actors paid too little.
The tentative one is a movie star, a first-line veteran actor, and a little actress.
But the remaining funds cannot be invited to this lineup, and I plan to use Ding Xiu to top the list, hoping to rely on him to attract some box office.
Ding Xiu thought for a moment and said, "I have paid 20 million."
He is a director, a screenwriter, an author, and an actor. A penny is worth a penny, but the boss of coal is not involved.
You can't let the company pay this money. If you lose money, you will definitely get hurt.
Qin Gang said: "Actually, if you are the male lead, it is not difficult to invest."
Nowadays, the word Ding Xiu is the box office. Young people love to watch the films and TV series he starred in. If he was not the director and was just the male lead, there would definitely be many bosses who would invest money and line up to invest money.
After getting the money, as one of the producers and producers, the company puts a lot of its own actors into the market, uses other people's money to make money, and can also win two birds with one stone.
Ding Xiu shook his head: "I don't like the character Shen Lian, I'm so licking."
He didn't say that besides licking the dog, Shen Lian still chopped his master, stabbed his uncle, and fucked his junior brother.
They are all brothers, how could Ding Xiu be able to do it?
Ding Xiu was determined to be a director and only played the supporting role of Ding Xiu. Qin Gang was helpless: "Twenty million is only 20 million, the company paid 10 million, and the remaining 10 million yuan was the boss who pulled the coal into the trap. Anyway, the big one
It's you. "
"But we still have to make preparations. If we can't get the funds and want the crew to start filming, you should play the leading role. If you don't have you, you won't come."
"Yes." Ding Xiu was a little in vain in his appeal.
He believes that coal bosses nowadays have vision.
"Then discuss the heroine. I plan to let Yang Mi go." Qin Gang said and pushed Yang Mi up.
The female lead has a rare opportunity, but who can’t be praised by her own artist?
"Yang Mi can't do it. The character of Zhou Miaotong needs to be immature, clean, and has a bookish fragrance. She doesn't have these conditions."
Ding Xiu immediately refused.
Qin Gang was stunned: "Brother, my own artist, forget it, don't be so harsh, whoever acts is not acting?"
It is impossible to replicate the characters in the script 100%, just be fine.
The market is fierce these days, and even Yang Mi, it is not easy to win a female lead in a big production. It is rare to have the opportunity, and you can praise it if you can.
Ding Xiu shook his head: "No, this is my first director's drama. We must strive for excellence. Zhou Miaotong is a post-85 actress to play the role of Zhou Miaotong. The acting skills are secondary. I want to be beautiful and amazing."
"Have you thought about whom?"
“Not yet decided.”
In Ding Xiu's mind, many actresses appeared. The specific choice depends on the effect after the trial assembly.
"Where is the male lead?"
“Are there any recommendations?”
Qin Gang said: "In our plan, we are going to play the role of actor Zhang Zhen, and the veteran actor Wang Qian of the Middle Ages played Lu Jianxing, and Jin Yichuan gave it to Song Yang."
Actor Zhang Zhen, a Wanwan actor, is a ruthless man who was nominated for the Golden Horse Award at the age of fifteen. He debuted for many years and won the B-class actor. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have been a few actors.
The war movie Chibi starring before won more than 500 million yuan.
So far, he is also among the top among the younger generation of male actors, only weaker than Ding Xiu.
Wang Qianyuan is a few years older than Ding Xiu and Zhang Zhen. He looks average, but his acting skills are excellent and has a good reputation. He is a good green leaf.
According to the company's plan, Zhang Zhen, Wang Qianyuan, Ding Xiu, the king-bombing combination appeared, which basically locked in a box office of 100 million yuan, and there was no shortage of investors.
But now something went wrong. Ding Xiu wanted to be a director, and investors might not dare to invest in him.
The most important thing is that Ding Xiu is afraid that he will change the actors.
"It's great." Ding Xiu recalled the images of the two in his mind, fantasizing that they looked decent and not bad in ancient costumes.
Qin Gang smiled bitterly: "It's not a good or not now. I'm afraid they know you are the director and refuse to come."
Ding Xiu frowned: "Try to try it. If you don't have it, I don't think I'm so memorized."
"Why do I call and ask a few coal bosses now?" Qin Gang said tentatively.
Ding Xiu confidently: "Ask."
...
His idea is very good. When he heard that he was a director, he immediately changed his mind. Some people say that the coal mine collapsed and he lost a lot of money and had no money for the time being.
Some people say that I have had many girlfriends recently and have already spent several dramas and have not recovered my money yet. I hope I can wait for him here for a year or two.
Some are quite loyal and say that Ding Xiu will not vote as a director, but Ding Xiu will not vote as an actor.
Qin Gang held his cell phone and said to Ding Xiu: "Why should I ask the actors?"
Ding Xiu's mouth twitched: "You ask, I'll go to the bathroom."
He was afraid that he could not help but want to hit someone while sitting here.
Businessmen value profit, but it is indeed difficult to deal with. If you become famous, you are famous, and you are flattering and flattering. Once you may bring losses to others, you will immediately turn your back on others.
When he came outside, Ding Xiu walked towards the bathroom. When he passed by the office, he saw Yang Siwei chatting with his former subordinate.
After seeing him, Yang Siwei stood up and said, "Brother Xiu."
"You haven't left yet."
"Wait for you."
"What are you waiting for me?"
"It's a rare trip. I want to invite you to have a cup of coffee. I don't know if there is time."
"I'll have something to do later."
"It won't be delayed for long."
With her hands in her pockets, Ding Xiu knew she had something to look for her, so he gently pointed her chin: "Yes."
Yang Siwei raised the two cups of coffee in her hand: "If you don't mind, you can have a breeze on the rooftop."
When he came to the rooftop, he put a cup of coffee on Ding Xiu. Ding Xiu smelled it: "If you are interested, it still tastes old."
"That's not, I've been your assistant after all." Knowing that Ding Xiu was short of time, Yang Siwei went straight to the point: "I just heard you and Mr. Qin talk about the embroidered Chundao."
"Um."
"Is it still a shortage of investment? Take me with me."
