Chapter 61 Guest appearance by Song Qingshu
In response to Cheng Xiaodong's words, the actor's wife was like a flower, and Ding Xiu worked very hard on filming in the next few days.
As Qiye turned dark in the later period, it was much more difficult for him to perform, and he finished work early every day.
In May, Ding Xiu finished filming.
On the day Chen Xiaodong left, there was a night show, so no one saw him off, and there was no chance to attend the finals banquet.
On the day Ding Xiu left, not only did he finish filming, but the crew also finished filming. The later storylines all revolved around Qiye. After Qiye died, other people's stories would naturally end.
In the evening, all the crew had a meal together.
After a few glasses of wine, Ding Xiu still felt sorry for not being able to kill Yan Chixia and the others in Qiye.
The villain can never succeed, which is really annoying.
If there is a chance in the future, he must play a villain who survives to the end.
"After I perform this drama, I will completely open the door to the Hong Kong industry. Just watch, you will be able to see my name on the big screen before long."
"In the future, if my brother becomes famous, you can come to me. I'm not like some people who don't recognize people when they become famous."
Wu Jing was a big drinker. After he was seven or eight minutes drunk, he put his arm around Ding Xiu's shoulders and started talking nonsense.
People are humble when they leave their hometown. When he came to Hong Kong Island, he understood this sentence completely. He had many scenes in the mainland, but it was difficult to move here.
The so-called seniors who came from the same school are not so easy to get along with. They are not of the same class and cannot get in through other people's doors.
Ding Xiu wanted to say that the walk-on actor also had a name on the big screen, but seeing that he was happy, he did not say this out loud.
After drinking two more glasses, Wu Jing was forced to lie down before he finally calmed down.
The next day, when Wu Jing woke up, Ding Xiu had already left.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, Ding Xiu arrived in Peiping, and it was Qin Gang who came to pick him up.
"This is the contract for Yi Tian Tu Long Ji. I've been sending it to you for many days, and I'm just waiting for you to sign it."
"This is the script. You should take the time to read it. You will be joining the cast today. Memorize it as soon as possible."
Picking up the contract, Ding Xiu turned to the last page. The salary was 25,000 yuan, which was exactly what Cheng Xiaodong said. After signing, he looked at the script.
Without opening it, he could guess from the thin thickness that there weren't many roles. If it weren't for the 25,000 yuan and the "good role", he wouldn't have wanted to take it.
"I took 5% of the remuneration for A Chinese Girl, and the rest has been put into your card. Please check it carefully."
"When you finish filming Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slaying, I will take care of you."
Driving the car, Qin Gang couldn't hide his excitement. He raised Ding Xiu's salary of 130,000 yuan by 5%, making 6,500 yuan.
It's not easy.
The company has actually been losing money since its establishment. In order to help Ding Xiu and the others pick up roles, he often has to treat people to meals and drinks.
After eating and drinking, you have to arrange singing. Do you have to wash your feet after singing?
This set of expenses is like running water.
In order to find out the way and knock on the door of the crew, sometimes he had to give gifts.
He has been paying for such a large expense, and his savings over the years have already been invested in it. If the company does not make money, he will have to lead young models in different director clubs during the day, and work as a young model in different clubs at night.
Fortunately, the clouds cleared and the moon came out, Ding Xiu finally prospered. One drama of A Chinese Ghost Story brought the company more than 6,000 yuan in revenue.
Although the money was not much, it was a good start and finally saw some light.
Qin Lan is also on the road, making money will be a matter of next year.
Driving all the way, humming songs, Qin Gang sent Ding Xiu to the set of Yitian Sword of the Dragon.
…
"Do you know that because of you alone, all of us can't finish work on time?"
On the set, Gao Yuanyuan's eyes turned red when faced with director Lai Shuiqing's scolding.
She plays Zhou Zhiruo in the play. The director chose her because she looks like Zhou Haimei, the most classic Zhou Zhiruo.
Filming in Hong Kong is different from that in the Mainland. The pace is very fast, the assembly line-like work and the high-intensity martial arts scenes made her a little unable to adapt. She made mistakes for several days in a row. No, she was punished.
"Where's Song Qingshu! Is the actor here? How many days has it been?"
"Call him immediately. I want to see him before dark. If he can come, he will perform. If he can't come, let him get out!"
The director was furious and no one dared to mess with him.
The male lead, Su Youpeng, and the female lead, Jia Jingwen, were silently reading their scripts in the corner, only glancing up cautiously from time to time.
"Director Lai, we're here." As soon as the assistant director's call was made, Qin Gang, dripping with sweat, led Ding Xiu to the scene.
What I took today was the six sects besieging Guangmingding.
Guangmingding is located on a mountain above the Ming Tombs Reservoir. There is no traffic two kilometers away, so you have to walk on two legs.
Ding Xiu was fine, in good health and calm. Qin Gang lived a life of feasting and feasting every day, and this journey almost killed him.
"Hello, Director Lai, I'm Ding Xiu, I play Song Qingshu, I've been waiting for a long time."
Ding Xiu should have arrived before yesterday, but he couldn't push him away, but he didn't explain.
The bearded director looked very angry and explained that it might be more troublesome.
Lai Shuiqing looked at Ding Xiu. Cheng Xiaodong did not lie to him. He was very handsome. He was more than good enough to play Song Qingshu, at least he was more handsome than the one he replaced.
There have been eight editions of "Eternal Dragon Sword" before this one, and Song Qingshu was a handsome guy in every edition.
After all, the original sentence in the novel is: What a beautiful young man, with delicate features and handsome features, which makes people feel heartbroken at first sight.
There is no doubt that Ding Xiu is very handsome, even more handsome than the male lead Su Youpeng. This kind of handsomeness makes Lai Shuiqing a little worried.
The audience's first reaction is very important. The word "handsome" is inherently easy to make people feel good about him. Once he stops being vicious, he will easily become kind.
He doesn't want the kind-hearted Song Qingshu, who would steal Zhang Wuji's limelight. What he wants is the despicable and shameless Song Qingshu.
"If I were a bad guy, would a bad guy act?"
Ding Xiu chuckled: "Director, this is my strength."
Lai Shuiqing said: "Lao Cheng said you are a master of martial arts. In the afternoon I will film Song Qingshu fighting Zhang Wuji. You only have two hours to practice the moves."
"An hour is enough."
"So crazy?"
Su Youpeng and the others all joined the group to practice half a month in advance. Ding Xiu practiced martial arts for two hours for one scene because he had martial arts skills.
I didn’t expect that it would only take an hour to come up and talk nonsense.
Ding Xiu smiled lightly: "If you don't include lunch time, it will take about half an hour."
After living for so many years, this was the first time he encountered such a pretentious person. Lai Shuiqing laughed angrily: "If you can't get the results I want this afternoon, I don't care who recommended you, you have to leave."
Song Qingshu, who was replaced before, is still on the crew, but has been replaced by another character.
If Ding Xiu can't do it, that person can still play Song Qingshu.
"If you can't even do martial arts scenes, I won't be able to stand up to you." Ding Xiu smiled and winked at Gao Yuanyuan.
