Chapter 574 In 2015, there is no more Sword Master
Compared with the Korean film industry, the domestic film system is relatively less complete. There is no rating system for films, and many contents are one-size-fits-all.
It is difficult to release movies that are borderline, pornographic, bloody, violent, homosexual, or politically related.
Ding Xiu heard that film and television bigwigs like Chen Daoming were working hard every year and responded to the higher-ups by appropriately relaxing the standards.
Well, there are still some results. In the past two years, the film industry has gradually opened up, but the pace has to be slow.
It is estimated that there is still a long way to go before we can reach the level of South Korea. This requires continued efforts by Ding Xiu and his generation.
…
On the last day of December 2014, Ding Xiu celebrated New Year's Eve on Shonan Satellite TV. He sang two songs at the beginning, and then sat in the audience and dozed off.
This time, Zhao Liying also came to make an appearance.
Many newcomers present were speechless when they saw Ding Xiu's appearance. If they wanted to appear on a show on Shonan Satellite TV, they had to cultivate connections and pay for travel expenses, makeup and hair.
Ding Xiu was still dozing off with his appearance fee, looking reluctant.
"Hello, brother Xiu, can you sign your name for me?"
As soon as the popular group EXO finished their performance, a young man with dyed yellow hair walked towards Ding Xiu and handed him a photo.
"sure, no problem."
Squinting his eyes, Ding Xiu quickly signed an artistic signature. The lights were shining brightly and dimly, just like a bar. He didn't even know what he was signing, so he just scribbled it with a pen.
"Thank you, Brother Xiu." The young man was very polite, bowed his waist, thanked with a smile, and then sat behind him with his signature.
Seeming to be a little unwilling, the young man stretched his neck and said: "Brother Xiu, do you still remember me? We met a few years ago. You signed an autograph for me on the streets of South Korea. At that time, you were filming New World. "
Ding Xiu turned his head, as if remembering.
The young man was overjoyed and continued: "I, Zhang Yixing, do you remember me? At the Busan Film Festival the next year, you talked to me in the bathroom."
"It turns out it's you." Ding Xiu suddenly realized that he had no impression at all.
He meets so many people every day and can't remember who they are.
I usually pay attention to some well-known artists in the film industry, or movies with high box office and good reputation.
It seems that this young man is in the singing and dancing route, and is an idol group.
He wasn't interested in that aspect.
It’s just that his many years of career have given him a thick skin. Regardless of whether he recognizes you or not, he will always say it’s you.
"Yes, yes, it's me." Zhang Yixin was very excited: "Brother Bo and I are filming Extreme Challenge. He has told me many stories about you and he has wanted to get to know you for a long time."
Their generation has almost grown up watching Ding Xiu's film and television dramas, Swordsman, A Chinese Ghost Story, Myth, Lotus Lantern, Legend of Sword and Fairy, there are too many classics.
It’s hard to avoid meeting an idol, and it’s inevitable to be excited.
A few years ago, he wouldn't have dared to think that one day he would be so close to Ding Xiu.
"It turns out that Lao Huang recorded it with you. I heard him talk about it." Ding Xiu's expression was much softer this time.
Zhang Yixin could also clearly feel that with the addition of a middleman, Ding Xiu's attitude was indeed different.
"How much do you get paid for recording Extreme Challenge?" The next second, Ding Xiu asked an adult topic.
I didn't expect him to ask this. Zhang Yixing said awkwardly: "I don't have much, eight million."
Their group is very popular, but it cannot stand up to the large number of people. There is a first team, a second team, and the most popular ones are the captain and two or three people.
When the first season of Extreme Challenge was recorded, his popularity was not high and he could only appear as a newcomer, with a market price of 8 million.
More than three million yuan was paid in taxes, and the company took a commission, and received more than one million yuan.
More than one million, recording for one month, can only be said to be some hard-earned money.
"Not bad, I can buy a house in half a year." Ding Xiu nodded and said.
Zhang Yixing couldn't laugh or cry. He felt that Ding Xiu had the same idea as his mother. To make money, buy a house first, have a place to live, and then work on other things.
"Brother Xiu, is it convenient for me to add you on WeChat?"
He was a little worried and spoke cautiously.
Expanding your network of resources and connections is a must-have skill, but sometimes when you encounter some veteran players, you not only don't add them, but it also makes people embarrassed.
He was also a little worried that Ding Xiu would reject him.
"What's the inconvenience?" Ding Xiu had his cell phone in his pocket. He took it out and added it to Zhang Yixin.
After getting the contact information, Zhang Yixin stopped disturbing Ding Xiu, excused himself to go to the bathroom, and then showed off with a few good brothers.
…
Every business party is a vanity fair for relationships.
At twelve o'clock, the party ends. 2015 has arrived, and Ding Xiu can't leave yet. He has to participate in a drinking party with several big bosses.
There are quite a lot of people in the hotel, most of them are artists singing and dancing on the stage tonight.
There are also some celebrities who come from nowhere. They are young, beautiful, and in good shape. They say hello to everyone they meet. They have high emotional intelligence and good temperament. They have collected seven or eight business cards in a short time.
"Brother Xiu, let me introduce two new people to you. Please take care of me in the future." Yang Siwei led the two young people towards Ding Xiu.
One male and one female.
"Call someone." Yang Siwei said to the two people.
"Hello teacher!!"
"No need to be so restrained, we are all our own people." Ding Xiu waved his hand.
You don't need to think about it to know that this is the person from Qin Lan's studio.
This is no longer Yang Siwei introducing new people to him. Basically every time he meets them, he has to push them.
With a smile, Yang Siwei introduced Ding Xiu: "This is Li County and this is Ma Si Chuan. They are both outstanding young people in our company. If there is a chance, Brother Xiu can help me."
"sure."
"Thank you, teacher."
"You guys go over first, Brother Xiu and I will chat for a while." After sending the two people away, Yang Siwei said: "Xiao Ma is Jiang Wenli's niece. She has pretty good resources, but the bad thing is luck."
Ding Xiu understood instantly.
Jiang Wenli, the eldest sister, is also an old person in the industry. She is quite powerful. What is even more powerful is that she has a director husband, Gu Changwei.
In recent years, some people have divided the entertainment industry into several gangs, such as the Hong Kong Circle, the Beijing Circle, the Shanghai Circle, the Pearl River Delta Circle, and among them the Northwest Circle.
The northwest circle is headed by Jiang Wenli and Gu Changwei.
As the niece of a great director, Ma Si Chuan should have no shortage of roles to shoot. Her appearance is also good and recognizable, which is similar to what Yang Siwei said.
What is lacking is luck.
"If there is a chance in the future, I will take her with me."
"Brother Xiu, thank you for your hard work. A sheep is herded, and a group of sheep are herded. Don't let that young man be left behind. I was negotiating a project for him recently, and it's a bit difficult to handle. Please help me and invite Party A out to eat. Just a meal.”
Seeing Ding Xiu frowning, Yang Siwei immediately cried miserably: "Brother Xiu, it's not easy for Sister Xiaolan and me. There is no man in the family."
"Whether it's the Qin Dynasty or ours, the company has your share, but you don't come here once a year. We rely on our own efforts, just like the stepmother."
"Look at my biological mother. You are taking care of Zhao Liying and Yang Mi. I heard that you are planning to take care of Reba recently. Sister Xiaolan and I are just the same..."
Ding Xiu's head was pounding: "Okay, okay, I'm going to eat. I'm going to eat."
Yang Siwei's expression changed and she immediately smiled: "Thank you, Brother Xiu, I won't disturb you anymore. I will discuss the time with your agent later."
Ding Xiu had a headache. He really had to pay back for being a fool. If this was not retribution, he would not have invested in Qin Lan if he had known it.
The reception was not over yet, before Ding Xiuren left the party, the phone rang.
An old acquaintance died.
Sword Master, Yu Chenghui.
