After going around in a circle, Ding Xiu turned the topic to Xin Zhilei and started the second round of testing.
Without even thinking about it, Xin Zhilei said: "Because I can make money, actors can make money quickly, and they can become famous. I happen to have some talent, so I joined the industry."
Xin Zhilei's answer is the same as that of most people in the entertainment industry.
You will gain both fame and fortune in this business.
The money comes in really fast.
Generally, those who have some special skills and whose family conditions are not bad will consider sending their children to film schools.
The children themselves also like the profession of celebrity. In addition to making money, they also enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by stars.
"I think you have a good foundation in kung fu. Who did you learn it from?"
Ding Xiu asked casually.
"I learned it from you." Xin Zhilei blinked her big eyes: "Isn't it you who taught me this all along?"
Pretending to be dumbfounded again, Ding Xiu twitched the corner of his mouth. After learning from him for a few days, he was able to practice the Japanese sword technique on his own. I am afraid that Xin Zhilei is a martial arts genius who has not been seen in thousands of years.
"Yes, Brother Xiu, we all learned from you." Lei Jiayin agreed, and then said: "Come, let's drink tea instead of wine and toast to the master."
"A toast to Master!"
Zhang Yi and Xin Zhilei then picked up half a cup of tea.
Ding Xiu had no choice but to respond to a few people.
After drinking, he glanced at Xin Zhilei and he didn't believe it. He couldn't understand the depth of this girl.
For the next period of time, Ding Xiu observed Xin Zhilei every day.
But as if she was possessed by a ghost, she never behaved abnormally again, and even her martial arts returned to the level of her usual training.
Ding Baiying's level has never appeared again.
While Ding Xiu was filming, Wu Jing's Wolf Warrior began to enter the casting stage, and he was the male lead.
Self-guided self-portraits.
This is a huge challenge for Wu Jing. In the previous role of Langya, he was worried that he would not be able to support the box office, so he asked Ding Xiu to be the male lead.
The investment this time was much larger than that of Langya, and his net worth was greatly increased, but he resolutely decided to take on the role of male lead.
I'm not afraid of box office hits, I have to say, I feel a lot more courageous.
When Ding Xiu was on the phone, he often teased him about his hasty selection of the male lead.
Although the male lead was chosen hastily, the other roles were not hasty at all.
Many of the actors who appeared were retired soldiers, and Wu Jing even roped in his comrades who trained in the special forces to play the role.
These are real special forces.
As for the female lead, he originally wanted to find a celebrity, but when he heard that the salary was only a few million, he was unwilling to come.
There was no other way, so Wu Jing replaced him with a powerful sect named Yu Lan.
The name is not very familiar, and many young viewers don't recognize it.
But he is indeed famous in the industry, and his reputation is not inferior to that of Guo Zhang.
Yu Lan is a few years younger than Wu Jing, and has already won five Best Actress awards. When Ding Xiu was still squatting at the Beijing Film Studio, she was the International Best Actress.
Later she won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress, the Paris International Film Festival for Best Actress, the Chinese Media Award, the Chicago International Film Festival for Best Actress, and the Carthage International Film Festival for Best Actress.
In the international film world, she has served as a judge at the Chicago International Film Festival, the Busan Film Festival, the Berlin Film Festival, and the Shanghai Film Festival.
The reputation is no weaker than that of International Zhang, and is even better than that of International Zhang. However, the price is simply sky-high compared to International Zhang.
This is the situation of veteran actors in China.
The drama is cheap, which is sad for the industry, but also a good thing, at least for the production company and director, because it is cheap.
It costs tens of millions to hire an A-list celebrity, but less than ten million to hire a bunch of actors with superb acting abilities.
This time Yu Lan was targeted by Wu Jing.
In addition to Yu Lan, the villain is called Li Daqiang, who is also an experienced actor. He has been in the industry for decades. It is said that his acting skills are superb. His expressionless face can actually portray the personalities of different characters.
…
"Brother Xiu, our crew has started shooting. I will work hard and listen to Director Li's words."
"When will you Xiuchundao come to Hengdian for filming? Is it in May? I was still there at that time. Remember to say before you come that I will treat you to dinner. We haven't gotten together much in these years..."
On the set, Ding Xiu and Zhao Liying talked on the phone.
The Legend of Lu Zhen has also been launched.
It’s just that the filming location was in Hengdian, and the weather there is no better than Yunnan. It’s much colder. It’s almost April, and the temperature is still low.
Unlike Yunnan, everyone wears a coat with short sleeves underneath.
"Hello, Xiao Zhao, do you miss me?"
Behind Ding Xiu, Yang Mi leaned her elbows on his shoulders, smiling and greeting Zhao Liying on the other side of the phone.
"Hello, Sister Mi. I'm a little busy here. The director called me. Bye, let's talk later."
Hearing Yang Mi's voice, Zhao Liying hurriedly hung up the phone, not wanting to talk more for a second.
Yang Mi pouted: "Brother Xiu, do you think Xiao Zhao has a problem with me?"
Ding Xiu was speechless and didn't want to get involved in their affairs. In the entire company, when it came to understanding Xiao Zhao, he was the first and no one was second.
Although Zhao Liying may be lively and bouncing around all day long, she is actually very sensitive inside. She knows who is good to her and who is not good to her.
Due to her personality, she doesn't like to show it, but in her heart she has already sentenced the other party to death.
Damimi is charming and seems to be enthusiastic towards everyone, but it is very difficult to get into her heart.
Xiao Zhao didn't like her personality, so naturally he was too lazy to get close to her.
"How do I know this? Go and ask her yourself, are you okay today?"
"Yes, it was so hard to take a picture of me, how could I not have it?" Da Mimi said with resentment: "Brother Xiu, why don't you add some drama to me, I'm bored every day."
Ding Xiu turned around and saw Yang Mi in a green dress, with her hair tied up and draped over her back, and her eyebrows painted lightly.
This ancient costume is quite explosive when placed outside.
If we count down the costume dramas that Yang Mi has filmed over the years, this one is one of the best. It will surely amaze a lot of audiences when the movie is released.
"Additional scenes, what kind of scenes?" Ding Xiu said seriously: "Your character is not suitable for additional scenes. Because there are few scenes, the audience will remember you and highlight the regrets of the character."
Xiuchundao is a male-led drama, and most of the scenes are played by the male protagonist Shen Lian. There are not many female scenes, and there are not many scenes shared with Yang Mi.
Forcibly adding scenes will only make the movie bloated, and perfection is unnecessary.
"Just fool me." After Yang Mi believed it, Ding Xiu became a ghost: "I will finish filming in a few days. When I leave, you won't be able to see me."
Ding Xiu waved his hand: "Go slowly without seeing me off. Come back often when you have time."
Squeezing him every day is too much for him no matter how good his health is.
It’s okay to leave and take a breather.
"Men are not good." Damimi scolded.
Ding Xiu was not angry at all, and continued with a smile: "If you understand this truth at a young age, your future is limitless."
Yang Mi pursed her lips and didn't say a word, but her eyes were full of resentment.
