This actor needs more money

Chapter 588 Ding Xiu’s circle of friends, aunt



"This kid is so lucky."

An old man sitting next to Chen Daoming said with emotion.

This will make your eyes red with envy.

The Golden Rooster Award contains a lot of gold, and there are many twists and turns in it. Acting alone may not necessarily lead to the Best Actor Award. You must have the right time, place, and people.

A few years ago, awards such as the Golden Rooster Award, which favored the main theme, would have been beyond the reach of juniors like Ding Xiu and others for eight lifetimes. They were all given to artists of the older generation.

That is to say, the market has changed greatly in recent years, and organizers have paid more and more attention to young people's participation and audience opinions, and then they have slowly attracted young people to participate.

"Where does this luck come from?" Chen Daoming said, "Don't you deserve your reputation?"

"Look at the dramas Ding Xiu has acted in the past few years. Almost every role is different. Who would play a villain with his status now?"

"If he doesn't win the award, who will?"

The more famous people are, the less likely they are to play villains. This is a tacit fact in the industry. Look at Andy Lau, he hasn't played villains for how many years.

His own reason is that he is afraid of leading young people into bad ways.

What about other artists, are they also afraid of leading young people into bad ways?

But when they first debuted, they didn't choose any roles. How could they not be afraid of leading young people into bad ways?

To put it bluntly, the villain's role is generally less than that of the male lead. The characters are all bad guys, not very plastic, and are completely one of the props that serve the protagonist.

Then there is the issue of celebrity status. Playing a villain means supporting the male lead. If the male lead is more popular and more popular than yourself, will the person involved feel that he is devaluing himself as a celebrity and flattering the other person? I don't want to.

For various reasons, no one wants to choose a villain who is the second male lead if he can be the first male lead.

Celebrities like Andy Lau would never want to play the second male lead, even if the script is very good.

It’s not like there are no actors in the drama. This drama doesn’t have a leading male role, but the next one will have a leading male role. There are many leading male roles.

Compared with them, Ding Xiu is different. As long as the role is good, he can play any role and is not picky about food.

In the drama "Rescue Mr. My Life", Zhang Hua was the villain through and through. People thought the role was good, so they took the role.

Not just this drama, look at Ding Xiu's previous dramas, the same thing happened in the Qinglong Film Festival that just won the award. Zhang Qiandan, the villain, is so evil that it makes people grit their teeth.

Counting back, the one he won at the Busan Film Festival was The New World. The character Li Zicheng he played was not a good guy either. He worked as an undercover agent and killed his bosses, and finally got away with it.

Regardless of the role, he can play bad guys beautifully and has strong character shaping ability. This is the charm of Ding Xiu. As a result, people won the award, but some people were not convinced and said it was good luck.

Where does this much luck come from?

"Yes, yes, it is commendable that young people can let go of themselves and play villains."

"Isn't that right? Let's hold a meeting another day. Let's promote the diversity of actors. We call on everyone to stop focusing on the male lead and look at other good roles."

Thinking of this Chen Daoming makes me angry. In the past two years, many actors have come on stage to speak, saying that the director should give them a chance. They are cheap, have acting skills, and are no worse than Xiaoxianrou.

In every word, he made it clear that he had no role to play and that the market share was being taken over by Xiaoxianrou.

It's just farting.

How many years have they been in the industry, and for a second-tier artist to say that they have no roles to play, what nonsense is that?

Hengdian Ensemble performs more than 100 plays a year.

Didn't they have any scenes to shoot? They didn't have a male lead or a female lead to shoot.

I can’t let go of my figure, I just want the leading role, and I don’t want anything but the leading role. Competition is so fierce now, and everyone is grabbing good roles.

You are not a top actor, you just want to play the leading role. If you can get one in two years, it is considered good, but if you can get a movie, it is weird.

If you are not unemployed, who will be unemployed?

"Brother Xiu, congratulations."

When Ding Xiu stepped down, Zhang Yi, who was far away, waved and congratulated him.

My boss won the Best Actor Award, and his own face was bright.

Today he also has a film nominated for an anti-trafficking film called Honey. He is one of the Best Supporting Actors, and he will be the Best Actress when the Best Actress is announced soon.

"Set up two tables later and have a few drinks together."

Along the way, Ding Xiu smiled and greeted acquaintances.

He was really lucky to win the Best Actor award, which he didn't expect.

When he took this role, he never thought about winning an award. He thought that even if he won the award, it would be Andy Lau. Who would have thought that it would fall on him.

After Ding Xiu stepped down, the result of the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress was also announced soon. It was an old artist in his fifties named Badma.

I watched the movie trailer and found that the acting skills are indeed superb and natural, with no trace of acting at all.

Next is Best Supporting Actor.

Zhang Yi won the award.

Ding Xiu has watched this drama, and to be honest, Zhang Yi's acting skills are really great, and he won't be overrated for the best actor award.

It's a pity that the name of the best actor in this drama was Huang Bo.

Huang Bo is also unlucky. He signed up for the leading male role everywhere. At the College Student Film Festival and the Academy Awards at the beginning of the year, he was all nominated for Best Actor.

In the end it all came to nothing.

On the contrary, Zhang Yi was lucky, holding the Best Supporting Actor award and killing wherever he went. In the Best Supporting Actor field, he was killing everywhere.

With the movie Dear, he has already won three Best Supporting Actor awards.

The company is already preparing to give him a tailor-made male lead role and strive to reach a higher level next year.

Best Supporting Actor was followed by Best Supporting Actress, and the winner was a name that was somewhat unfamiliar to Ding Xiu, called Deng Jiajia.

The shortlisted film is Witness, starring Sun Honglei.

In the evening, Ding Xiu first attended the banquet arranged by the organizer, and the second half was his celebration banquet.

At the banquet, the best supporting actress came over to toast. After observing her closely, Ding Xiu couldn't help but ask, "Why do I feel that you look familiar? I just can't remember where I've seen her before."

First of all, excluding the bed, there were many people sleeping on Ding Xiu, but she was definitely not in it.

The rest are seen in public places or in movies and TV shows that we usually watch.

Deng Jiajia asked curiously: "Teacher Ding, have you seen Love Apartment, my little aunt?"

Ding Xiu suddenly realized: "I thought it looked familiar, but it turned out to be you."

"Love Apartment" is a large-scale comedy series in China. There have been several films produced so far, mainly focusing on funny things in the apartment.

Ding Xiu watched this drama when he was bored, and it was quite enjoyable.

Zeng Xiaoxian, Lu Xiaobu, Hu Yifei, the little aunt, these characters are all still somewhat memorable.

I didn't expect that Deng Jiajia, who has a background in comedy, can also act in movies and win the best supporting actress.

When watching iPartment, Ding Xiu inevitably puts his professional perspective into perspective and wonders who among these actors will come out first.

I originally thought that Zeng Xiaoxian might take the lead first. This actor plays good roles, has many roles, and has a good appearance. Compared with others, he has more chances to come forward.

Then there is Hu Yifei, whose acting skills are relatively stable and her character is lovable. She should quickly become famous in the entertainment industry.

As a result, the supporting role of the little aunt was the first to appear.

They both won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress.

It left the others far behind.

"Yes, it's me. Many people say I look familiar."

Deng Jiajia is not angry at all when people remember her previous roles. Many people are afraid of having a fixed image, but she is not afraid.

An actor is so lucky to have a few roles that are firmly remembered by the audience in his lifetime. How can he be angry?

It would be embarrassing to meet someone and not be able to name your work.

"Is your love apartment still being filmed?"

Ding Xiu's impression of this drama has been broadcast since 2009 and has been broadcast for several years.

As soon as Deng Jiajia heard this, she knew that Ding Xiu must not have watched Love Apartment for a long time. He must have watched a few episodes by chance before.

Because IPartment has no longer made sequels, old viewers all know that.

"It's now in its fourth season. There will be no fifth season for the time being. We'll have to wait for the announcement for details."

The fourth season was aired last year, so two years will pass soon.

Including the shooting time, it has been three years.

After wrapping up three years ago, the actors in Love Apartment were notified that the drama would no longer be filmed, and everyone went their separate ways from then on.

In three years, she transformed from a comedian to winning Best Supporting Actress this year, which is considered a success.

"What a pity." Ding Xiu sighed.

"Who says it isn't? We also miss this drama very much. We filmed it as soon as it debuted. Not only did the audience grow, but we actors also grew up with it."

The filming lasted for five years. This drama made her break out of the industry and became well-known to the audience. Now that it is gone, it is impossible for Deng Jiajia to say that she has no thoughts about it.

But it was more to cater to Ding Xiu.

As an actor, you can't just play one role for the rest of your life, you always have to move forward.

The two chatted for a few more words, and it seemed that the time was about the same. Deng Jiajia said, "Teacher Ding, I like your drama so much. I am really a fan of yours."

"Can you sign your autograph and take a photo with me?"

"No problem at all."

After signing autographs and taking photos, Deng Jiajia said sheepishly: "Um, I also want to ask you for your contact information. Is that convenient?"

"It's a small matter, do you sweep me or should I sweep you?"

"I'll sweep you, I'll sweep you."

This trip was not in vain. She won the Best Supporting Actress and got Ding Xiu's contact information. Deng Jiajia was extremely happy.

After Ding Xiu left, she looked at Ding Xiu's circle of friends. When she returned to the page, she happened to see someone in the group congratulating her on winning the award.

They are all actors from the iPartment crew.

There is Wang Chuanjun, there is Chen He, there is Lou Yixiao, there is the Jin family, and there is Sun Yizhou.

The two have better relationships with Wang Chuanjun and Sun Yizhou. One is a good friend on the set and the other is a classmate in college.

Everyone else was congratulating her in the group, so these two were chatting privately.

People are in high spirits during happy events. She edited the photo with Ding Xiu and the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress and posted it on her WeChat Moments.

Within a few seconds, the group became more lively.

The same goes for Moments, where all the comments are flattering.

Although she knew that these people were flattering, she was still very happy that she didn't just win an award today, because when she was browsing Ding Xiu's circle of friends, she found that from time to time, Ding Xiu would send some casting information about Qin Chao Entertainment.

This is a big deal.

She hasn't thought about playing the lead female role for the time being, but she still dares to think about getting some supporting female roles.

With Ding Xiu's size and resources, he might find a good role in his circle of friends one day, and then win an award.
