This actor needs more money

"You walk like an ancient person. Don't walk like a hooligan. Keep your arms natural. Do you know what Bu Yao does?"

"Although our fights are all special effects, they still have to look the way they should. Your martial arts moves are not good enough."

Ding Xiu clocks in every day at the Three Lives Three Lives Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms crew, and occasionally helps Yang Mi train the actors. He doesn’t say too much, just does what he can.

Every weekend, he takes time off to go home and take care of his children.

The child is over half a year old, and now he has learned to roll over. He babbles every day but cannot hear anything clearly.

It seems that we are not far away from talking.

This sense of accomplishment was something Ding Xiu had never experienced before.

In the blink of an eye, the time has come to September. The movie The Great Wall starring Jing Tian is preparing to be released during the National Day, and there will be some screenings before the release.

Ding Xiu was invited to participate.

By the way, I took two days off to take care of the baby at home.

Gao Yuanyuan is also busy with work. Although she hasn't gone out to film, she has a lot of work in the company and can't do without her.

"Brother Xiu, thank you for coming to support us. Thank you for your hard work."

"polite."

At the entrance of the cinema, Ding Xiu and Jing Tian shook hands and said hello, then turned their attention to the old man, and the two chatted for a while.

This was the first time in so many years that he saw the old man's face turned so dark during the wedding ceremony.

I didn’t even have the nerve to ask if the movie was going to hit the streets.

These old directors are very sensitive to asking this question.

Earlier, before the movie was released, Chen Kai was asked by a reporter if he was worried about box office issues, and he was so angry that he was kicked back on the spot.

The little girl was so reprimanded by him that her face burst into tears.

The original words probably meant that my child hasn't been born yet, so it's okay if you don't congratulate me. He also said what would happen if he died in childbirth.

Isn't this a curse on me?

Of course, Brother Chen Kai's metaphor is a bit excessive. The media people just asked, and it was he who took the lead and went online.

In fact, when a director is filming a movie, he may not necessarily know that the movie will be a hit, but rather than being a hit, he still has a hunch.

After all, movies are not like buying lottery tickets, but more like building a house. As a worker, the director works on site brick by brick every day. How can he not know whether the house is good or not in the end?

The expression on the old man's face now speaks volumes.

After entering the theater, Ding Xiu found a place to sit down and wait for the movie to start. He saw many acquaintances along the way and said hello to each one.

The old man still has a strong appeal, has a wide network of contacts in the industry, and his friends are all famous and famous directors. How could everyone not come to support his new movie screening today.

After more than half an hour, the movie started.

After watching for more than ten minutes, Ding Xiu had a look of pain on his face, and he finally understood why the old man had that expression that looked like he had swallowed a fly.

This movie is 100% awesome.

The foreshadowing at the beginning was the Song Dynasty, and two foreigners suddenly appeared, and they also engaged in monster elements. It was just a mess.

If you put yourself in Ding Xiu's shoes, if he were the director, he wouldn't know how to wrap up this script and the beginning.

He turned his head and glanced at the heroine Jing Tian. She was looking at it with gusto and didn't feel anything yet.

"This life is really good."

Ding Xiu could only sigh like this.

He knew more or less about Jing Tian's background.

Mainly because of my boyfriend.

The company she works for has only her as an artist, and all the company owners serve her.

Her boyfriend is a theater boss, rich and well-connected. He has been supporting her for so many years, which can be regarded as true love.

It is not easy to do this.

Just look at her resume and you will know how many heroines she has played.

I don’t know how many dramas I’ve played.

Netizens also made a jingle, Nan Yihuan, Bei Jingtian, Zhuang Xinyan, who is not popular.

It's just the three of them who can't become famous no matter what.

Looking at this time again, The Great Wall's movie schedule in theaters is also horribly high. For those who don't know the reason, they think it's for the sake of Mr. Lao's face.

Soon, while Ding Xiu was drowsy, the one-and-a-half-hour movie finished playing, and the lead actor and director came on stage to speak.

The old man said that filming this movie was very hard and not easy.

Ding Xiu felt the same way, how could it not be hard to work with such a crew?

After the misfortunes of the leading actors, the host asked Ding Xiu to say a few words and evaluate the movie.

"The scenes are grand and the special effects are great. It's rare to see this type of movie. It's very novel."

There is no mention of the plot, acting, or the core of the movie.

In fact, Ding Xiu didn't know what the play wanted to express. For example, in the climax, soldiers tied to their bodies with ropes, holding long guns, jumped off the city wall to kill people.

There are many plots similar to falling out of one's wits.

Nothing to complain about.

In order not to offend others, Ding Xiu could only express his opinions implicitly in other aspects. Special effects and scenes were the only things that this drama had to offer.

"Thank you, Teacher Ding, for your evaluation, and thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come and support us." Jing Tian said happily, "I hope I will have the opportunity to film with you in the future."

"No problem, there will be opportunities."

Busy going home to take care of his children, Ding Xiu left after attending the screening ceremony and did not go to the dinner hosted by the organizer.

…

The Great Wall will be released on October 1st.

The box office on the first day was 120 million.

When the data came out, Ding Xiu almost thought it was because of his own eyesight. Has the audience's aesthetic appreciation reached this point now?

On the second day of release, the box office trend continued unabated, with the single-day box office still exceeding 100 million.

After seven days of release, the total box office exceeded 600 million. This result dazzled people.

It was a hit at the box office, but the comment section was different. It was completely polarizing and full of criticism.

"What the hell, you're wasting dozens of dollars on me, bah!"

"Nima, I'm so disgusted. What the hell are you doing? Is this the level of a national master?"

"I originally came here for Zhang Yi, Zhang Hanyu, and Liu Dehua, but I was disappointed. It was a bad movie."

"Did the Imperial Master encounter any difficulties?"

"The power of capital is so great that even movie stars are being roped in to be their match. Da Tiantian is so terrifying."

"Of the current 600 million box office, 300 million are from those who were tricked, and the remaining 300 million are from those who do not believe in evil."

"Whoever sees it is in trouble!"

"I can't stand it anymore. What's Jing Tian's background? The backstage is so tough. It's all bad movies."

"If we count all the dramas she has played over the years since her debut, none of them have a rating of over 6.0. Brother Cheng Long, Donnie Yen, Andy Lau, and the National Master can't lead her."

"Sister, please stop filming. With so much money, why don't you become an investor? Go and invite Ding Xiu, Andy Lau and others to act."

These days, the audience is no longer fooled. The Great Wall's reputation has collapsed and is one-sided. There are so many negative reviews that many people are unwilling to go to the cinema again.

Relying on a high schedule of films and extensive publicity, it was able to make over 100 million in box office every day before. However, starting from the eighth day, it fell off a cliff.

Seventy million, fifty million, thirty million, twenty million...

Not to mention the single-day box office drop, many film critics and peers came out to criticize the film, among which Jing Tian was the most vocal.

She went through the back door, joined the group with money, played tricks, had no acting skills... Various labels were attached to her.

The Weibo comment section has been hacked.

I have lost several endorsements on my body.

What's more serious is that the stocks of several companies that invested in Great Wall fell together with their stocks, and the old man couldn't bear the huge losses.

Before the Great Wall movie was released, news came out in the industry that Jing Tian had broken up.

Soon, she also admitted on Weibo that she was single.

He debuted at the age of 18 and is now 28 years old. After ten years of hard work, everything came to nothing, which is disappointing.

On the other hand, Ding Xiu’s filming of Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossom has also been completed.

Although she is the male lead, this drama is the female lead after all, and Yang Mi has the largest role, so she should finish filming earlier.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to dinner later."

On the final day, Yang Mi personally delivered a bouquet of flowers to Ding Xiu.

Before she even took off her costume, she stopped combing her bright top hairstyle, and instead wore long hair shawl, and a beautiful blue shirt.

The shape is a bit like Hokusai in Xiushundao.

It's beautiful with a cool feeling.

"Thank you." Ding Xiu thanked him after accepting the flowers.

He was not polite at all. The two had known each other for many years, so they were quite polite.

"I hope this drama can solve your urgent needs."

"hope so."

"Be confident, this drama will definitely be a hit."

It can be seen that Yang Mi has put a lot of effort into this drama. During the filming, she was on set every day for the first time in a long time.

I also paid great attention to the characters, writing pages and pages of notes and reflections.

The most important thing is that the character Bai Qian is quite similar to her personality.

In Bai Qian, Ding Xiu saw many shadows of Yang Mi. When she was young, Bai Qian was playful, naughty, and clever, which was very similar to Yang Mi back then.

In the later period, Bai Qian had a strong mind, was decisive in killing, took revenge, and had a powerful aura just like Yang Mi now.

After so many years since Yang Mi’s debut, Ding Xiu feels that this is her best performance, and the role fits her very well.

Yang Mi smiled and said, "That's right, if you star in it, it won't be a hit or not. Our drama depends on you. I'll ask the company to promote you more later. You won't mind, right?"

She didn't have any confidence at all. She only got better after Ding Xiu entered the scene.

Otherwise, I don’t know if the crew can attract the audience.

"Of course not, as long as you don't ask me for publicity fees."

"That depends on the situation. If I fail, I may have to borrow money from you to live on."

"No, if you really pounce, then come back."

"Forget it." Yang Mi smiled and shook her head.

Qin Chao Entertainment, can she still go back?

She left when she was at her most popular, and then returned when she was confused. When Ding Xiu wanted her, she didn't even have the nerve to stay.

Women should stand upright and die outside.

"Let's go, no need to send it off."

Ding Xiu said nothing more and said goodbye to everyone one by one. When it was Reba's turn, he told her to read more of the beautiful Li Huizhen script and perform well in the next one.

Reba nodded repeatedly.

How could she not cherish the fact that she finally got to be the female lead?
