Chapter 586 Tired Damimi
Throughout this year, Ding Xiu had nothing to do, and the business at hand basically stopped.
For the next period of time, his life was very regular. He came to the company during the day and had meetings with Qin Gang and others to discuss company projects and the development of artists.
Occasionally I go to the racecourse to ride horses and go to the boxing gym to practice boxing.
In September, Yang Siwei passed by Peiping and said that he was inviting him to dinner, so he must go there.
The place we booked was at a Western restaurant.
"Brother Xiu, I haven't seen you for a while, and I feel like you are a little different."
After meeting, Yang Siwei stared at Ding Xiu and said these words.
"What's different? You've become more handsome?"
"That's not true. I feel like you've become more cheerful."
In Yang Siwei's impression, Ding Xiu was old-fashioned, with a sense of stability and vicissitudes that did not belong to his age.
Occasionally, when a person is drinking alone, there will be a sense of sadness in him. Anyone who is familiar with him can feel it. This person has been through a lot.
But this time when they met, Ding Xiu was different from before. There was a lot more smile on his face. It was bright from the heart and he was much more relaxed.
"It's bad, middle-aged men are all like this." Ding Xiu smiled: "Maybe it's because there is less work this year, or because I want to become a father."
Only he himself knows that although these are part of the reasons, the battle in South Africa is also indispensable, which vented all the depression that had been accumulated in his heart for many years.
Not to mention Yang Siwei, even Gao Yuanyuan said he was much more cheerful.
"That's it. Congratulations. When is the due date? I will be notified when the baby is one month old."
"must."
After the food was served, the two of them ate and chatted. Knowing that Yang Siwei had something to do with him, Ding Xiu was not in a hurry.
It wasn't until he was full and ready to leave that Yang Siwei spoke.
"Brother Xiu, um, I have something to ask you for help."
"Tell me." After wiping his mouth, Ding Xiu raised his buttocks and sat back down.
Over the years, it can be said that he has watched Yang Siwei grow up. This girl's skills, confidence, and wisdom are all better than ordinary people.
Being able to hold something in for such a long time is considered an expert.
"Didn't I recommend Li Xian, the young man from our company, to you before?"
"Yes, I remember, you won't ask me to set up a game to introduce you to the boss again, right?"
The last time he promised Yang Siwei to treat Party A's father to dinner, Ding Xiu went. Later, he also learned that the project was negotiated and Li County successfully won a role.
Although it is a web drama, it is called Forensic Doctor Qin Ming.
"No, this time we are Party A." Yang Siwei was a little embarrassed. When it comes to asking for favors, favors are thinned out every time.
She and Ding Xiu were old friends and had a very good relationship. If they were not sitting in their current position, she felt that their friendship would last a lifetime.
But her butt determines her head, so there is no other way. She has to shamelessly ask Ding Xiu for help with some things. She also knows that after too many times, there will only be interests between the two of them.
Maybe it was a matter of affection at the beginning, but if she didn't have enough benefits to move her later, Ding Xiu wouldn't help her.
"Party A, you want me to invest?" Ding Xiu thought a little and knew what she meant.
"Well, it's a web drama called River God. Here's the information. Take a look."
Yang Siwei took out the information from her bag and gave it to Ding Xiu.
As a gold medal agent in the industry, she is well-dressed, with earrings, necklaces, and watches, giving people a fashionable, stable, and grand feeling.
Only her bag doesn't match her temperament.
She talks about business all year round and carries a lot of information with her. Her bags are more practical than beautiful and can hold a lot of things.
Not in a hurry to leave, Ding Xiu slowly flipped through the information. The most important thing he needed now was time. More than an hour had passed since he finished reading.
In the meantime, Yang Siwei kept refilling the coffee. If Ding Xiu had any questions, she answered them one by one.
"How much do you want me to invest?"
"Fifteen million." Yang Siwei exaggerated by a few million, which left room for bargaining.
"I'll go back and find someone to evaluate it and give you an answer in two days."
"Brother Xiu, please walk slowly, please."
With the information, Ding Xiu came to Qin Chao Entertainment and handed the information to his subordinates for evaluation and review.
Since we are talking about business, we must follow formal procedures.
As long as the project is good, he doesn't care about investing money. The most indispensable thing now is money. Barron has already prepared it and will wait for the project in his hand to start working.
Three days later, Ding Xiu replied to Yang Siwei that he had voted for 15 million.
The conditions are not many, just put a few new actors from Qin Chao Entertainment to play supporting roles.
The new actors are naturally three bodyguards.
For such a small matter, Yang Siwei immediately agreed on the phone.
With the money she invested, plus Ding Xiu's money, they are now the largest investors in River God, and they have a strong say. In addition to the male lead from Li County, it is easy to arrange a few supporting roles.
It doesn't matter if the actors on Ding Xiu's side can't act, as long as they can cry and laugh.
…
In October, Ding Xiu participated in the Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony, and this time he was shortlisted for "Rescue Mr. Wu".
At the scene, Liu Dehua held his hand and almost burst into tears.
"Congratulations, Xiuzai, congratulations to you."
"It's all luck." Seeing that Liu Dehua's face was not very good, Ding Xiu said modestly: "I just came here to run with him. After so many years, I'm used to it."
Liu Dehua is famous for accompanying the best actor. He has been nominated for the best actor title many times over the years, but he has not won it many times.
Eighty percent of them are intercepted.
This time it was similar. The drama team nominated Mr. Saving Me to win the Golden Rooster Award, with two names: Ding Xiu and Liu Dehua.
Unexpectedly, the organizing committee finally selected Ding Xiu as a finalist and Liu Dehua failed.
The reason is that Ding Xiu's role is more intense and his performance is more layered.
Liu Dehua felt extremely sad when he thought about being strangled and beaten again in the film.
The box office of this movie was so high and it had a cast of all-star actors. It was not surprising that it won the award, but it was uncomfortable for him because Ding Xiu was nominated.
I suddenly thought of Infernal Affairs back then. I worked so hard every day, got up earlier than the chickens, went to bed late enough, and was on the set every day from the beginning to the end.
As a result, the winner in the end was Tony Leung Chaowei for his casual performance.
"Alas!" Liu Dehua patted Ding Xiu on the shoulder and said with a forced smile: "How could you say such a thing? It's unlucky. We are going to win the Best Actor award when we come here. I'm optimistic about you."
"Then let me lend you some good words!"
This is the first time that Ding Xiu has been nominated for the Golden Rooster Award. To be honest, he is excited. With three gold medals in Chinese, he is a Golden Horse Best Actor.
Don't even think about the Hong Kong Film Awards. It's all up to the people in Hong Kong.
The only one that can compete is the Golden Rooster Award, but it is held every two years and there are too many fierce people. Who dares to say that he can win the award.
So excited, Ding Xiu was also mentally prepared to accompany him.
The party hasn't officially started yet. The backstage hall is a place to eat. It's all self-service. Everyone can get what they want.
Ding Xiu took a plate, put a few pastries on it, and found a seat to sit down and eat.
The people around him wanted to come forward and say hello when they saw him, but after five seconds, they all took back their steps.
"Alas." Yang Mi sat down next to him and sighed.
"well!"
"well!"
Seeing that Ding Xiu remained silent, Yang Mi sighed several times.
Ding Xiu was speechless: "If you're hungry, just take it yourself. There's no need to fuss."
Holding her hands in front of her chest, Damimi said angrily: "I won't eat, my image is not good."
That night is the awards show, which is broadcast live across the country. If you eat some vegetable leaves and get them on your teeth, your image will be completely ruined.
Moreover, her clothes are all high-end and she borrowed them from the brand. If she got anything on them, she would have to spend money to buy them.
She can afford a dress costing hundreds of thousands a piece, but affording it and suffering a loss are two different things.
Just because you want to get something on it will cost you hundreds of thousands. If you buy it, you will most likely not wear it again. Isn’t this a big injustice?
"It's up to you, as long as you're not hungry."
Ding Xiu didn't know whether Yang Mi was hungry, but he was hungry.
The award ceremony started at two o'clock in the afternoon, and it took seven or eight hours from taking photos on the red carpet, signing autographs on the signature wall, interviews with reporters, to the end of the awards.
I can't stand it without eating.
"Oh, I've been really tired recently." Yang Mi crossed her legs, closed her eyes and pressed her eyebrows, with a sad look on her face: "To tell you the truth, if there weren't so many people, I would lie down and sleep right now."
"No, I'll squint for a while, please help me keep an eye on it."
Just do it, Yang Mi leaned back on the chair and was about to go to sleep.
Seeing that she was not joking, Ding Xiu put down the plate and shook the person awake: "There are so many people, don't sleep here. If you are really sleepy, go to my car."
"Okay, lead the way."
Yang Mi knew that Ding Xiu's RV was big, wide and very comfortable.
Following Ding Xiu, they soon arrived at the car.
Regardless of her image, Yang Mi stepped on her heels and took off her shoes. She lay on the bed and said feebly with her eyes closed: "Including guest roles, I have eleven dramas this year. I only sleep two or three hours a day. Everyone is tired." It’s almost gone.”
"The last time I touched a pillow was two days ago."
"Awesome!"
Ding Xiu was in awe of him. Eleven films a year were so talented. He couldn't withstand this kind of intensity.
And with such a large output, it goes without saying that the photos taken cannot be read at all.
Not to mention eleven dramas a year, even five dramas a year is considered high-intensity. You have to be in one group today and another group tomorrow.
I don’t care about the beginning and end, and I don’t even have time to sleep. I don’t have time to think about the characters and the script.
Ding Xiu guessed that Damimi might not remember her lines well.
"You are crazy about making money."
"I can't help it. I'm signing a bet. If I don't fight now, I won't fight. If I don't fight, people will kill me."
Thinking of something, Damimi got up tiredly, carefully took off her dress and hung it up on a hanger.
The high-end ones cost hundreds of thousands.
If you wear this to bed, it will definitely be wrinkled when you wake up, so don't worry about losing money.
At hundreds of thousands per night, the cost is a bit high.
It’s time to live a hard life, so save what you can.
"No, are you forcing me to commit a crime?" Ding Xiu, who was still in the RV, twitched at the scene.
The female artists at the awards ceremony were all wearing sexy clothes, and some looked like they were not wearing anything at all.
This is true for outer wear, let alone inner wear.
Taking it off immediately frightened Ding Xiu's eyes.
It's like she's not wearing anything underwear.
The skin is delicate, the legs are straight and white, there is no fat on the waist, and there is plenty of material on the chest.
"Whatever you want, remember to be gentle and don't wake me up, I'm sleeping." After saying that, Damimi opened the quilt and got in.
In less than ten seconds, a slight whine came from the nasal cavity.
This is so tiring.
Ding Xiu shook his head helplessly, looking at the high heels scattered on the ground, he stepped forward and bent down to straighten them for her.
When he looked up, Da Mimi was staring at him.
"You really haven't moved."
"I……"
Before Ding Xiu could speak, a white lotus-rooted arm emerged from the quilt, grabbed his collar, and pulled him over.
