Chapter 17 Beating the Leading Actor
"How are you?" Miao Yi kept covering her palms after the prop sword flew out. Ding Xiu stepped forward to check and saw that her ring finger and little finger were a little red and swollen: "No bones were injured. I'll press it for you and you'll be fine after two days of rest." ”
"Thank you." Ding Xiu's massage skills were very good, and Miao Yi felt much better after a while.
"You'll get better faster if you go back and take some medicinal wine to rub bruises."
"There were so many eyes on the crew staring here, and Ding Xiu kept massaging her fingers. Miao Yi was embarrassed, her face felt a little hot, and she licked her hair behind her ears with her hands in embarrassment.
"Then, I'll do it myself."
"Um!"
Putting down his hand, Ding Xiu turned his head and looked to the other side. The instigator was sitting leisurely on the recliner drinking coffee without any apology for what had just happened.
"If the director scolds you, you can scold him back. If you have the guts, you can hit him. It doesn't matter if you spread your anger on a girl."
Yuan Bing is a veteran martial arts instructor and is well-known in the industry. No matter what Huang Huangbao is, Cheng Long is his senior brother. They have played with him since they were young. Most actors really don't dare to challenge him.
"Linghu Chong" relied on signing the contract and filming for so many days. The crew did not dare to replace him, so he spoke and acted a bit arrogantly, and directed his anger towards the rival actor to express his dissatisfaction.
"Fuck ××, it's none of your business, do you have the right to say anything?"
Seeing him swearing, Ding Xiu stepped forward and grabbed his collar and said fiercely: "What did you say?"
Facing the ferocious Ding Xiu, "Linghu Chong" remembered that this young man was used to being lawless. With his martial arts skills, he was not afraid of anyone. When he saw him, he showed no respect or basic courtesy.
Now there are so many people pulling on his collar. If he gets scared, how can he still mess around if word spreads.
"What do you want to do?"
At this time, other people in the crew reacted and began to persuade: "Ding Xiu, let go of him quickly.
"Speak carefully if you have anything to say, don't be impulsive."
"They're all in the same group, so that's pretty much it."
Pushing away the crowd, Yuan Bing stepped forward and pulled his hand away forcefully: "You kid will do whatever you want to do for me, right?"
He stayed in front of the monitor and didn't expect so many things to happen while smoking a cigarette.
After looking at Yuan Bing, who was frowning and serious, Ding Xiu let go.
"He scolded me first, and everyone heard it."
After being beaten backwards, "Linghu Chong" finally broke free and wanted to hit someone, but the assistant beside him held him back, but it was impossible to hit him. Everyone knew that Ding Xiu was good at martial arts, and if he competed with him in fists and kicks, he would definitely get beaten.
"I won't take pictures anymore!"
"Yuan Bing, let me put my words here. From now on, you can decide whether the crew will have him or not, whether it will be me or not him!"
"Get out of the way, what are you looking at!"
Without taking off his costume or makeup, "Linghu Chong" angrily got into the car and returned to the hotel.
The male lead ran away and the scene couldn't be filmed. Everyone stared at Huang Jianzhong and Yuan Bing.
"Don't look at it, all departments are in their respective positions."
"Old Huang, come with me."
Huang Jianzhong and Yuan Bing entered the director's studio. They didn't know what to discuss. The staff members who were close to them heard the quarrel. Huang Jianzhong came out after more than ten minutes and drove back to the hotel.
"Ding Xiu, come in." Yuan Bing, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth, stretched out his head and shouted.
Entering the director's studio, the smell of cigarette smoke filled the air, and Ding Xiu fanned himself in disgust.
"Sit." Yuan Bing pointed to a folding chair.
Ding Xiu said: "Do you want to fire me?"
One is the long-famous male lead, and the other is the unknown second male lead. If you choose one of the two, any fool knows how to choose.
But he has no regrets.
When he encounters something he doesn't like, he just talks about it, and when he encounters someone he doesn't like, he hits him. This is his temper. At worst, the film won't be filmed, and he will make tens of thousands of dollars less without dying.
It's not his style to swallow his anger for tens of thousands of dollars in salary.
After joining the group, he was unhappy with the male lead. He was just filming a movie. He was groomed like an emperor, surrounded by assistants and nannies. Everyone who saw him would nod and bow. Those who knew him were actors, but those who didn't knew him thought he was one. Chongzhen also came with him.
"You've made a big mistake for me." Yuan Bing took a long puff of cigarette and exhaled heavily: "Whether it's you or him at this time, it will be a big loss for the crew."
"I asked Lao Huang to go over and communicate to see if there is any room for maneuver. There is indeed room for maneuver. If it is almost the same, you can give him a step down and the matter will be over."
"No, Lao Yuan, you are also a martial arts practitioner. You are not bloody at all. Do you think I will apologize to others?"
"I stopped practicing martial arts a long time ago." Yuan Bing blew his beard and glared: "It doesn't matter if you practice martial arts, you also need to eat to practice martial arts. I am taking the overall situation into consideration. In any case, you have to give me this face."
Ding Xiu didn't speak, and the air was quiet for a long time.
After Yuan Bing smoked half a pack of cigarettes, Huang Jianzhong called, on speakerphone. It probably meant that the male lead was unwilling to compromise and insisted on making a choice between him and Ding Xiu.
Ding Xiu spread his hands: "Look, it's not that I don't give you face."
"It's none of your business. Let's go out. You can eat whatever you want when you get back. I'll let you know about the specific situation." After sending Ding Xiu away, Yuan Bing thought for a while, then called Xu Qing and told her what had just happened. .
There is no Xu Qing scene today, she is out shopping.
The two chatted for a while, and Yuan Bing called Huang Jianzhong again, not knowing what he was talking about.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhang Jizhong, who was in Peiping, received a call and booked the earliest flight to the set.
…
At nine o'clock in the morning, Yuan Bing knocked on Ding Xiu's door with red eyes and a haggard look on his face.
"Start shooting your scenes tomorrow, don't be late."
"What do you mean?" Ding Xiu was confused.
"Linghu Chong has been replaced. The new male lead will arrive a few days later."
"Lao Yuan, you are so loyal that I will treat you to a drink tonight."
Ding Xiu had packed his luggage, but he didn't expect this surprise. The crew abandoned the male lead for him.
"Don't take yourself too seriously." Yuan Bing said calmly: "You are just an introduction, and it has nothing to do with his departure. You keep playing big names one after another, which affects the filming, and you are not serious about acting. It will be a matter of time before you leave."
Yuan Bing didn't lie. The change of male lead had nothing to do with Ding Xiu. He wasn't that shameless.
Being late, showing off, acting carelessly, and disrespecting the director are the main factors.
When chatting with Zhang Jizhong, Yuan Bing's original words were either to change the male lead or to change him.
After all, I have been in this industry for decades and I have never cooperated with any big name. This is the first time I feel this angry.
Xu Qing also told Zhang Jizhong that she was unhappy with the collaboration and didn't want to film it.
Under heavy pressure and after careful consideration, Zhang Jizhong made the decision to change to the male lead.
Linghu Chong was benevolent and was benevolent.
However, the crew unilaterally terminated the contract, and the cost was that the lead actor's scenes were not filmed these days, and the one million yuan in salary that had been paid could not be recovered.
This chapter will be deducted 1 if it is poisonous, 2 if it is okay, and 3 if it is not poisonous. I will do statistics this afternoon and decide whether to change it based on everyone's feedback. But if it is changed, it is probably just a small change. After all, the general direction has been set. , the male lead must go, but he may do so in a different way, and the conflict will not be so big.
