Ding Xiu said this, but Qin Gang had no choice but to admit it.
The candidate for the second female lead is finalized, and the next male lead is the second male lead,
Compared with the second female lead, there are not many options for the second male lead. As soon as Ding Xiu picked up his resume, Lu Yang began to introduce it on the projector.
"After several rounds of screening Lu Wenzhao, I think this person named Zhang Yi is the most suitable. He has good acting skills, can endure hardships, and can play many different roles. His best attitude is to play inner dramas."
The projector is Zhang Yi's past performance work, including the Soldier Assault Squad Leader Shi Jin, and my regiment commander Meng Fan, the common point is that the drama is popular but not the people.
He is still old, two years older than Ding Xiu, but he also happens to play Lu Wenzhao.
Lu Yang glanced at Qin Gang and said, "He is also an actor who has just signed a contract with our company."
After operating it on the notebook, Lu Yang released Zhang Yi's trial installation photos.
In the picture, he is wearing a flying fish suit and embroidered spring sword in his hand. However, he looks much more mature. He has a beard and looks like he is in his forties.
In fact, Zhang Yi did not appear on the shortlist because he signed on Qinchao Entertainment, but because he signed on Qinchao Entertainment.
Although he is the second male lead, it depends on who he is playing with. The company rarely gives such an important role to outsiders.
Zhang Yi's agency is just like that, so Qin Gang just dug up people directly. Xin Zhilei in front is the same. He has to join the company before he can play the second female lead.
The reason why she didn't sign the contract with Xin Zhilei first is that she is a little young and has to invest a lot of resources if she signs. She simply waited for Ding Xiu to pass the test first, and then signed the contract. If she didn't choose, she wouldn't care.
Zhang Yi is different. He is in his thirties and has been in the industry for a long time. He has acting skills and a certain reputation. It is also a good choice to serve others as a matchmaker in the company.
"Okay, just him." Ding Xiu just took a look and decided. It was a coincidence that the uncle in his impression was not tall, not handsome, and a little thin.
Recalling the script, Ding Xiu said: "Ding Baiying, Lu Wenzhao, Pei Lun, all of these three characters trained one month in advance. The first two practiced sword skills, and Pei Lun practiced stick swords."
"If you want to equestrian, go to my horse farm."
"Don't throw away other candidates' contact information. Before shooting, I check the training progress of the three people. If the test fails, I will replace them immediately."
Acting skills are not improved every day or two, and there is a process of running-in and thinking.
But martial arts is not.
Especially the routines and kung fu in film and television dramas. These things do not depend on talent, but only work hard and sweat.
As long as you are not a fool, you can always learn a few sets of swordsmanship and riding horses in a month. If it doesn't work, it's just that you are lazy and have no effort.
Ding Xiu can tolerate actors' poor acting skills, but he cannot tolerate slapping around in martial arts dramas.
"That's it, get off work."
Ding Xiu stood up.
It's only more than a month before the crew starts filming. He has a lot of work. As a martial arts guide, he has to design martial arts movements and conceive fighting. These are all brain-intensive work.
When he came to the office, he took out a piece of A4 paper, and Ding Xiu began to draw his moves. After a while, pages of moves were designed.
I was busy until the evening, stretched my waist, put the paper into the drawer, locked the door and went downstairs.
After returning home, I was not idle after dinner and thought about how to arrange a few fight scenes.
At night, it’s not just Ding Xiu who can’t sleep.
Xin Zhilei couldn't sleep either.
In the afternoon, she received a call from Qin Chao Entertainment, and she was selected as the second female lead, Ding Baiying.
By the way, Qin Chao Entertainment also had to sign her for ten years.
With the double happiness, I don’t know how I come back after signing the contract.
I heard that Ding Xiu decided to make her name and asked her to play Ding Baiying. But when she was in the Qin Dynasty entertainment, she didn't see Ding Xiu, otherwise she would have to thank her very much.
That night, more than two people couldn't sleep, and the entertainment industry was in full swing.
Lost in Thailand's first day box office was 36 million.
No one expected that Xu Zheng, who was the first time he was a director, won a box office of 36 million on the first day with a funny script.
No major director can achieve this effect.
Not to mention others, Xu Zheng himself was also confused. He was stunned for two minutes when he heard the box office on the first day. Then he laughed loudly, burst into tears, and then cried loudly.
The investment in this drama is only 30 million, and it can be repaid for 90 million. What he originally thought was that he would not lose if he could have a box office of 100 million. As long as the director's work is not lost, he would be fine if he would have a second one in the future.
many.
Unexpectedly, Thailand gave him a huge surprise, with a box office of 36 million on the first day.
According to this trend, let alone 100 million, it is probably not a problem to have 300 million.
Three hundred million, that's the box office that can only be shot by top directors.
Xu Zheng never expected that he underestimated himself. The goal of 300 million yuan was achieved on the seventh day of Lost in Thailand.
At this time, Lost in Thailand was full of film schedules, and during the Spring Festival period, when the blockbusters were crowded, they won a 38% scheduling rate.
With a box office of 300 million in the first week, Xu Zheng raised his dream a little more and set a 800 million yuan.
The box office exploded, and Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang were both happy for Xu Bald Head. When talking on the phone, Baoqiang joked that Huang Bo had made a lot of money and had known that he would have invested in the salary.
Huang Bo, who was lying to win, laughed and said that he would invite everyone to dinner another day.

Just after the eighth day of the lunar month, workers began to return and office workers started to work.
The actors who had martial arts scenes in Xiuchun Dao Er had gathered in the suburbs of Peking to start practicing equestrianism.
On the edge of the horse court, Ding Xiu held his hands in front of his chest and looked at the trainees. Under his eyes, the few people were under great pressure and did not dare to be lazy at all.
From time to time, Ding Xiu shouted, "Relax, don't be nervous, don't clamp your legs too tightly, and the horse will run faster when it is nervous."
"If you hold on to the reins, don't want your butt to be pushed into two, please pay attention to your body up and down and find the rhythm of the horse."
"Be careful, don't use brute force, stand up with your upper body, lean forward, think about why riding a horse is called riding a horse, not sitting on a horse..."
It is not difficult to learn horse riding, but in the morning, everyone is already a little bit.
Ding Xiu asked them to feed the horses and cultivate their relationship with the horses. After arriving at the crew, these horses were to be used for filming, and then they would be their mounts.
Riding horses in the morning and practicing martial arts in the afternoon.
In the venue, Ding Xiu was teaching Xin Zhilei's knife technique.
A very simple chopping knife.
"Step forward with your left foot, your body is triangle-shaped, don't have your arms too high, and chop hard, I'll demonstrate it to you a few times first."
"Did you understand?"
"I understand."
Xin Zhilei, wearing a sportswear and a ponytail, was holding her hands on her back and nodded seriously. Facing the serious Ding Xiu, she seemed to have returned to her school days and did not dare to move at all.
"In addition to practicing daily routines every day, you can practice 500 extra knives in the chopping knife."
Ding Xiu said lightly after throwing the prop knife to Xin Zhilei.
Xin Zhilei almost knelt down for him when he received the knife.
Five hundred knives, this is not enough.
Although the prop knife in her hand was a big weight, it weighed about two pounds, and it weighed about five hundred dollars a day, which was quite a lot of pressure.
"Start."
Ding Xiu stood beside him, watching Xin Zhilei practice chopping the knife. When he encountered an incorrect posture, he stepped forward to give instructions.
"Raise your arm and use skill to chop the knife, and you can cut all your strength out in one go. You can't complete five hundred strokes, attack the enemy for seven points, and keep three points on your own."
"I'll ask the staff to get you five hundred balloons and chop them at them."
"Oh, thank you Brother Xiu."
"You're welcome."
Looking at the stupid Xin Zhilei, Ding Xiu sighed secretly, after all, he was not the real Ding Baiying.
With Ding Baiying's temper, he is already the one who will be beaten up now.
After guiding here, Ding Xiu went to guide Zhang Yi again. Zhang Yi used a long weapon in the play, which was a bit similar to his Qi family knife, but the handle was much longer.
For such weapons with big opening and closing, there is greater physical strength.
Ding Xiu directly arranged push-ups for him, pull-ups, lifting dumbbells, stretching resistance bands, and yes, five sets a day.
The actor who plays Pei Lun is called Lei Jiayin, an actor in the opera stage. He was previously from the Magic City Drama Troupe. His acting skills are beyond words, but he just has no fame.
Because he was selected as the third male lead, he was also poached by Qin Chao Entertainment as a signing artist.
Because of the big head, Ding Xiu called him big head.
Pei Lun's weapon is a stick and knife, which is also quite difficult. Ding Xiu spent a lot of effort to teach.
Under Ding Xiu's devil training, the three of them stood in every day, holding the wall and trembling with their legs.
