Ding Xiu sneered: "What are you talking about? I never do prostitution for nothing, let alone a woman."
"I was just kidding you. My rent here is not due for more than half a year. Let's live there first. I should have enough money to buy a house by then."
Including the salary from A Chinese Girl, he has more than 100,000 in savings. With the recent popularity of Swordsman, Qin Gang said that he could make some money by helping him accept a few commercials.
As long as I can take on another movie in the next six months, I can buy two sets of the courtyard house I live in now, let alone a house of 60 square meters.
"If you are ambitious, remember to notify me when you move to a new house." Gao Yuanyuan put on her woolen hat, stood up and said, "It's getting late, I'll leave first."
"Why don't you sit down for a while? After watching Swordsman, watch two more movies. Let's discuss acting skills and exchange and learn together."
"After watching Swordsman at nine o'clock, it will be eleven or two o'clock after watching the movie. If I don't leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave."
Gao Yuanyuan opened the door, and a gust of cold wind poured in. The heat in the room was instantly cleared. She waved her hand and said, "Let's go, goodbye."
"Shall I see you off?"
"No, the street lights at the door are quite bright, and it's only a few steps away from the street."
Walking into the yard, Gao Yuanyuan's smile gradually disappeared, she puffed up her mouth and muttered: "This person is really real. He doesn't have any practical actions to say goodbye. Who gives it with his mouth?"
Behind him, there was a creak and the sound of the door opening, and Gao Yuanyuan turned around.
Ding Xiu, who was wearing a turtleneck sweater, was seen hiding half of his body in the room. He only poked his head out and shouted: "You left your scarf."
"Send you off!" Gao Yuanyuan said angrily and left without looking back.
A Chinese Ghost Story is a joint venture film with investors from across the Taiwan Strait, three places and abroad. Ding Xiu originally thought that the preliminary preparation work would be very long, and it would be understandable even if it starts shooting in three or four months.
Who would have thought that less than ten days after signing the contract, he would be notified of a fitting. The second fitting would be seven days later. After confirming that there was no problem with the size of the clothes, a final makeup photo would be taken and he would be allowed to join the group in a few days.
On the way back, sitting in Qin Gang's car, Ding Xiu said: "Old Qin, they are so perfunctory, do you think they are a fake crew?"
If I could describe the actions of the cast of A Chinese Ghost Story in one word, it would be fast, everything was done in a hurry, as if they were rushing to get to work.
The quality of the clothing is not good either. It feels like curtain cloth and has no design, just basic black and white.
The makeup artist was even more sloppy and didn't do any hairstyle. He just took a piece of slightly curly shoulder-length hair and put it on his head.
Qiye Shengjun, that's it? He has no real character at all.
Qin Gang, an agent and a part-time driver, said calmly: "This drama is said to be a joint venture, but in fact, the province and Singapore only contribute the money, and the production team is mainly based on Hong Kong Island."
"The style over there is like this. Labor is expensive, time is tight, and everything is about speed, so that Foo Dao Hua is famous for his crotch stretching."
"You have never seen some crazy directors who finish a movie in half a month, or even more outrageous actors who don't even have a script when they join the team. There are two tables on the set. The screenwriter is writing lines while the actors are filming."
Ding Xiu was a little worried: "Wouldn't the crew of A Chinese Ghost Story be like this too?"
Although it is said that as long as the crew's salary is adequate and the heroine is attractive and beautiful, he can make pornographic films, but after being in the industry for so long, his mentality has changed somewhat, and he also hopes that the film will be good.
As long as the show is good, you can act in more shows and earn more money.
Things taken in a hurry are definitely not as good as those taken with fine polish.
Qin Gang didn't dare to vouch for it: "I'm not good at writing lines on the spot, but there's no guarantee that the play will be changed at short notice. The director of A Chinese Girl is Li Huizhu, and the screenwriter is Chen Shisan, who is famous for making twists and turns."
"When you get there, even if you encounter the treatment of deleted scenes, as long as it's not too much, just endure it and don't hit anyone."
"Just think of it as money to show your face. You only got an upfront salary of 30,000 yuan. If someone fires you, you won't lose much."
"I'll try my best." Ding Xiu sighed.
…
Swordsman has finished airing. It will premiere on February 1st. There are two episodes every day. The forty episodes took 21 days to complete. The Spring Festival Gala will be aired on New Year's Day.
For more than 20 days, the audience's condemnation of this drama has not diminished, and Li Yapeng has become the main target of complaints, with overwhelming negative reviews coming towards him.
Poor acting, failed to capture the heart of the character, stupid, these words appeared many times.
The situation with Xu Qing is completely opposite, with mixed reviews. Some people like to say that she is sexy and beautiful, and she has performed the aura of a young girl. She is the most beautiful Ren Yingying in the world.
Those who don't like it say she's pretending to be young and plays an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl in her thirties.
Ding Xiu is better, he doesn't have many roles, he's handsome, his martial arts skills are wonderful, and it's his first time acting. In addition, the previous version of Lin Pingzhi didn't leave much of an impression on the audience, so people made less complaints about him.
Many media also commented that he is talented in acting and is the best Lin Pingzhi. Through this drama, he finally became somewhat famous.
The media complained about it, but from a commercial perspective, this drama was indeed successful.
Taking the advertising fee of CCTV's 15 seconds and 75,000 as an example, the 40 episodes of Swordsman earned 55 million. Adding in the more than 20 million from overseas distribution, the return is multiple.
Not to mention other local stations competing for the second-round broadcast rights.
Yang Ma is making a lot of money!
As producers and directors, Zhang Jizhong and Huang Jianzhong have both fame and fortune. In the face of media abuse, they did not fight back.
The media scolded them for making a bad movie, but they laughed at the media to pay off their mortgage.
…
After staying at home for a while, Wang Baoqiang came back, just the day before Ding Xiu left for the set of A Chinese Ghost Story.
In the afternoon, Ding revised a private room and invited Qin Gang, Qin Lan, and Wang Baoqiang to dinner.
After they left, he went to sit by the window in the next box and let the cold wind blow away the smell of alcohol.
He made an appointment with Gao Yuanyuan here.
Not long after, Gao Yuanyuan came in and couldn't help laughing when she saw Ding Xiu's red scarf placed on the back of the chair.
"You are really busy, attending one show after another. If you can't do it, don't force it."
Ding Xiu scratched his head and couldn't figure out how he was exposed: "Who told you?"
Gao Yuanyuan nodded: "Wang Baoqiang, he bought a second-hand mobile phone. When he called me, he said he would have dinner with you here and asked me why I didn't come."
I lost it!
Ding Xiu had black lines all over his head. He finally knew why Bao Qiang wanted to betray him. Wasn't it because Qin Lan lay down in his arms after drinking a few glasses of wine?
He didn't do anything. Qin Lan took advantage of it, and he still suffered a loss.
Unexpectedly, this kid was so upset that he called Gao Yuanyuan later.
Ding Xiu sighed heavily and said, "There are all colleagues from the company over there, so we can't push them away."
Qin Lan's heavy chest was pressing on him, how to push it.
Up or down?
"Yes, I'm not used to sitting at the same table with people I don't know." Gao Yuanyuan said, replacing wine with tea, "I wish you a safe journey."
Ding Xiu toasted him: "Thank you."
Taking his wine glass, Gao Yuanyuan said: "If you can't drink it, then don't drink it."
Ding Xiu said in a deep voice: "Don't you understand this? The only things in the world are beauties and fine wines that you never get tired of and never get tired of drinking."
Gao Yuanyuan muttered: "Isn't it just greedy and lustful?"
