This actor needs more money

Chapter 13 The Princess of Beijing Circle



Ding Xiu spent twelve days practicing martial arts in the morning, reading scripts in the afternoon, and occasionally doing costume fittings. As the filming was about to start, the crew's horses came, three in total, mainly for the actors to learn and shoot.

Yi Gan doesn't star in many circus shows, so the director doesn't expect everyone to have high horse riding skills. It's enough to be able to sit on it without being afraid, speak calmly, and perform a few simple movements.

There was also a jockey who followed, a young man in his twenties, wearing a POLO shirt and a black peaked cap, with a bright smile.

Especially after seeing that the two beauties who need to learn to ride horses are Xu Qing and Miao Yi, I feel even brighter.

He didn't know Miao Yi, he only knew Xu Qing. It should be said that there were very few men in the country who didn't know Xu Qing. She was a well-known beauty.

"Several circus teachers are here. Let me explain to you the habits of horses. Let's start with the most basics."

"Before you get on the horse, you have to stroke its hair and gain its favor. Yes, that's it. Don't be afraid."

Holding Xu Qing's hand and placing it on the horse, the young man patiently explained.

"Xiao Ding, don't you know how to ride a horse? Please teach me." Wei Zi said to Ding Xiu, who was slightly absent-minded.

"good."

Leading Uncle Wei to the horse with tears in his eyes, Ding Xiu said: "It's nonsense to understand the habits of horses. This thing is just like driving, one accelerator and one brake. It's hard to drive, but it's easy to get started."

"Get on the horse. I can run around with you for two times. This is the saddle for sitting on, the pedals for stepping on, and the reins for hand pulling."

After getting on the horse cautiously, Wei Zi felt regretful after listening to Ding Xiu's explanation and wanted to get off the horse.

But the coach didn't give him a chance.

"drive!"

The original feeling of pushing his back hit him. Facing the wind, Wei Zi sat on his horse and ran wildly. His shouts could be faintly heard in the noisy wind.

Twenty minutes later, Wei Zi and Ding Xiu, with their hair standing on end, came back, only to see him holding the reins alone and controlling the horse to walk slowly.

"Xu."

Pulling the reins lightly, the horse stopped.

Ding Xiu, who was in the back seat, put his hands up and jumped down from behind the horse's butt. His walking posture was a bit awkward.

So sloppy!

The saddle is only big enough for one person to sit on, and the raised part at the back of the saddle is not an ordinary crotch.

Controlling the horse to turn around, Wei Zi said, "I feel like I've already mastered it. I'll ride it for a while to get familiar with it and get a feel for it."

"Okay, Teacher Wei, you learn so quickly." Xu Qing, who was still familiar with horse nature and safety measures, was shocked.

Wei Zi completely forgot whose throat almost burst from shouting just now, and smiled modestly: "Actually, it's not too difficult."

"Ding Xiu, why don't you come and teach me." Xu Qing gave up on the horse master.

"Okay, no problem." There was only one horse left, and Ding Xiu walked over with Xu Qing talking and laughing.

"Sister Xu Qing, don't stretch your legs too tight." Ding Xiu sat behind Xu Qing, smelling the faint fragrance from her hair, and feeling the same as Uncle Wei.

"The horse senses our emotions, and the tighter you tighten the grip, the more excited it gets."

"Grab the reins with both hands. Don't use too much force. Just treat it as a steering wheel. Control the direction left and right. The tightness determines the speed... Bend over slightly and move your body's center of gravity forward. Okay, let's start. Let's start with a slow walk."

"You can't be anxious when riding a horse. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Find the feeling step by step. After you get the feeling, walk slowly for a while, then walk fast, and finally run fast... If you want to learn the moves on horseback, I can also do it. I’ll teach you if I have time another day.”

Wei Zi was confused. This was not what Ding Xiu taught him. What he said was that as long as he controlled the reins well, he could run around blindly.

Compared with the rough and barbaric teaching method, the current teaching method is soft-spoken, careful and patient, which is completely different.

Xu Qing had already walked more than a hundred meters while riding a horse. She looked down at the arms that passed behind her waist and were placed in front of her. This posture was no different from hugging her.

"Xiao Ding, are you trying to take advantage of me?"

Ding Xiu put away his smile and said seriously: "Sister, I am not that kind of person."

"Then why are you so close to me?"

"Is it tight?"

"I can almost hear your heartbeat."

"Then I'll back off a little."

"Hahaha." Xu Qing let out a silvery laugh and seemed very happy to tease a young man like Ding Xiu: "Where is your hometown?"

"A remote mountain village in Yunnan-Guizhou region."

This is the memory of this body. I was born in a barren village. There are no people in my family anymore. Drifting to the north is a dream and one of the few ways out.

"Why do you want to be an actor?"

"Eating for a living."

This was Ding Xiu's original intention when he entered the industry. He didn't want to be a big star, he just wanted to make a living, just eat and drink.

"How many girlfriends have you had?"

"Never talked about it."

"Hina, tsk tsk tsk, so you haven't held a girl's hand before?"

"Isn't this holding hands?"

"You don't look like a good person with your glib mouth."

Ding Xiu and Xu Qing rode two laps, talking and laughing when they came back. The two of them didn't look like they were learning to ride a horse at all, but more like chatting.

After he took Miao Yi for a few more spins, Yuan Bing followed him while going to the toilet.

A urinal away, Yuan Bing said: "I said you don't know how to write the word "fear", right? You get along so casually with everyone."

Ding Xiu is different from most ordinary people in that he has no sense of awe.

He always had that same face towards everyone, smiling and carefree.

Take Xu Qing, for example, a well-known star, young and beautiful. Six years later, the dream girl born in the 1970s will make any man tremble when he sees her.

Ding Xiu was doing well. He was just like picking up girls in a bar. He struck up conversations and told jokes without getting angry at all. He even told dirty jokes two days ago.

There are also Huang Jianzhong and Zhang Jizhong. Ordinary actors are always polite when meeting them and show their best side.

As a result, Ding Xiu contradicted Huang Jianzhong when they first met and insisted on testing Lin Pingzhi without saving any face.

When I met Zhang Jizhong later, he asked Zhang Jizhong to reimburse him for his shirt, round trip fare, and missed work expenses before he even started boxing.

In the past few days, this kid has become familiar with me, and he is no different. Sometimes he calls him Yuan Dao, sometimes he calls him Brother Bing, and sometimes he calls him A Bing as a joke.

After draining the water, Ding Xiu trembled: "That's right. If I'm not approachable, why should I still be aloof? How inappropriate."

"I advise you to keep a distance from Xu Qing. She is a princess from the Beijing Circle. She comes from a famous family and has a profound background. If anything happens between you two, her suitors will tear you apart."

After zipping up the zipper, Yuan Bing patted Ding Xiu on the shoulder: "This is a rose with thorns. Be careful of blood on your hands. Let's meet online. You will know what kind of people her ex-boyfriends are."

Ding Xiu didn't speak, but Yuan Bing thought he had heard it and nodded happily.

Maybe it's because they are both martial arts practitioners, or maybe it's because Ding Xiu has a different personality. Anyway, he likes Ding Xiu very much. Although they are several decades apart, they can talk to each other as equals and laugh happily. The two of them have been friends for a long time. mean.

"Did you wash your hands and pat me on the shoulder?" the silent Ding Xiu suddenly said.

Yuan Bing smiled and said, "I peed in the pool, not on my hands."

"The soles of your shoes are wet, you thought I didn't see it."

"Nonsense, I can still pee three meters in the wind."

"Come on, try peeing."

"I just finished peeing, where is the stock..."
