This actor needs more money

Ding Xiu saw Gao Yuanyuan the first time he joined the set, but the director was in a rage and didn't have time to say hello.

This was the first time he saw Gao Yuanyuan wearing ancient costume. Not to mention, it looked pretty.

Different from Xu Xiyuan's costume, Gao Yuanyuan has a plump figure and looks more material.

Meeting Ding Xiu's gaze, Gao Yuanyuan pursed her lips and smiled, feeling a little more at ease. The leading actors in this crew were either from Benzhou or Hong Kong, and she was not familiar with any of them.

I didn't expect to meet Ding Xiu here, it was like a fellow countryman meeting a fellow countryman.

When they arrived at the makeup studio, the makeup artist dressed Ding Xiu and sat on a chair. Ding Xiu remained motionless while holding the script and reciting his lines.

There were not many lines in this scene, just a few sentences, mainly martial arts action. He put down the script within five minutes of watching it.

Gao Yuanyuan came in.

"Why are you in this group? Didn't you go to A Chinese Ghost Story?"

"After the filming over there, my friend introduced me to my place. You, on the other hand, would be scolded by the director for being a bit player."

"What is a walk-on? Do you think I am a walk-on?" Gao Yuanyuan pulled up a stool and sat down: "I am the second female lead."

Ding Xiu chuckled lightly, tilted his head and asked the makeup artist to tidy up his sideburns: "With such an air of dignity, those who don't know better would think that he is a slut."

"Brother, it's not easy for me to get the second female lead in Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer. Do you know who the male lead is and the female lead is Su Youpeng and Jia Jingwen."

In the past, 99% of Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas did not use mainland actors as male and female actors. Mainland actors were just soy sauce on the set.

Now that the mainland market is booming, mainland actors are gradually appearing on the starring lists of joint venture films.

However, there are very few mainland actors who are male and female.

Usually they exist in the form of a second male lead, a second female lead, or a supporting role.

It is not easy for her to get the role of the second female lead.

"I don't know." Ding Xiu shook his head.

The Little Tigers didn't even know each other, so Gao Yuanyuan didn't know how to explain it: "The fifth elder brother of Princess Huanzhu, Du Fei who is deeply in love and misty, and the unrivaled twins, who are very popular."

"Forget it, I guess you don't know either. It's all for nothing. Anyway, be careful and don't offend anyone."

"They contribute money and I contribute my efforts and do my job well. Who can I offend but you? Why are you scolded by the director?"

"What does scolding mean? It means giving advice." Gao Yuanyuan was very annoyed that Ding Xiu used this word: "The work intensity of the crew is a bit high, and I am not used to it."

Ding Xiu glanced at the mirror. He had already put on his hood, his long hair was shawl, and the top of his hair was fixed with a strip of cloth. This five-cent outfit still looked familiar.

"The team in Hong Kong is like this. It's like an assembly line factory. Just get used to it. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. I'll protect you."

Having just come out of the set of A Chinese Ghost Story, Ding Xiu still has some say in the Hong Kong set's shooting mode.

That's one word, quick!

In addition, the flattering crotch-lifting style is almost synonymous with it, and it is rarely elaborated. In other words, they pay more attention to commercialization. Knowing what the audience likes, the director will focus on that.

Mainland actors can watch the playback after filming a scene. If the filming is not good, they can tell the director to try another scene and strive to achieve better results.

As for the Hong Kong crew, if the actors dare to say this, what awaits you may not be drowning in the director's saliva.

"You'd better cover yourself first." Gao Yuanyuan rested her elbows on her knees and dragged her chin with her hands: "If you can't pass this level, you won't even be able to eat the lunch box."

Ding Xiu raised his hand and glanced at his watch. It was not far from lunch time: "That's right. You have to practice your moves quickly, otherwise you won't be able to make it in time for lunch."

At the door of the dressing room, Qin Gang handed Wu Xing a cigarette and said with a smile: "Brother, I'll bother you later. Our artist has a good foundation in kung fu and it's not difficult to teach."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Ding Xiu encountered such a problem when he first came up. How could Qin Gang dare to leave? Although he was very confident in Ding Xiu's martial arts, he was still a little worried about having to practice tricks temporarily.

No, just prepare your martial arts skills in advance, be more attentive when not asking for advice, and don't get in trouble.

Twenty minutes later, Ding Xiu came out after putting on makeup.

The hair cover costs 50 cents, and the clothes also cost 50 cents. There is also a white mesh coat outside the full robe.

This kind of dress is more of a test of appearance, and people with average looks may not be able to handle it.

"This is the protagonist." Wu Xing said to himself after seeing Ding Xiu's costume. In the whole drama, the Wu-Dang Clan's costume is the best.

The male protagonist who has appeared for a long time has always been wearing a rag shirt and heeled sandals. The sandals are covered with ancient stockings.

The people in the props team were shocked when they saw it.

"Brother Xiu, this is the martial arts master Ye. You will practice tricks with him later." Qin Gang said.

Ding Xiu cupped his fists and said, "Master Ye, I'm sorry to bother you."

Facing this kind of fist-holding ceremony, Wu Xing was still a little used to it, so he smiled and said: "It's all work, as it should be."

Guangmingding is on the top of the mountain, and there is a lot of open space. I found a random place and started martial arts training.

"The tricks you have to learn today are just for this scene. It's not too difficult. If you work harder, it's still possible to learn it before filming starts in the afternoon."

"This set of swordsmanship has eight moves in total. Let me demonstrate it to you first: holding a flower inside, holding a flower outside, carrying the sword on your back, raising the sword, stepping forward to lift the sword, turning around to lift the sword, crossing the sword to thrust..."

"Okay, now let's do it one move at a time. The first move is to hold the flower in your arms and open your legs at shoulder level."

Smelling the aroma of the food next to him and seeing more than two hundred extras already ready to move, Ding Xiu said, "No, I've already learned how to do it."

Regardless of Wu Xing's sullenness, Ding Xiu took the prop sword in his hand, held two sword flowers and started practicing.

There was a hissing sound in the air, and a set of swordsmanship was flowing and flowing, elegant and unrestrained, and the standard of the movements was better than that of the martial arts just now.

After forty seconds, Ding Xiu sheathed his sword.

Wu Xing was stunned.

In the distance, director Lai Shuiqing happened to see this scene, and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

He doesn't know martial arts, but he has been filming martial arts dramas for many years, so he still has good eyesight. It is obvious that Ding Xiu's swordsmanship is more beautiful than his martial arts skills.

Ding Xiu said that one hour is enough. Love means learning the sword for one minute and eating the remaining fifty-nine minutes.

"Who is my rival actor? Do I need to compete with him?" Ding Xiu asked Wu Xing.

This basic swordsmanship movement is not difficult for him at all. It's all just a show, and he can do it just by looking at it.

What is a little more difficult is to use tricks with the opponent's actors, mainly because I am afraid that the opponent will be scared and confused when the fight starts.

He had to tell the other person not to be afraid, and even if he let go and hit, don't worry that he would hurt someone.

A similar thing happened when filming The Swordsman. Li Yapeng stepped back and sat on the ground after just two attempts.

"No, no, no, Su Youpeng fights while sitting down. He can take close-ups alone. Just finish the sword skills without touching him."

"Then I'm relieved." Throwing the prop sword to Wu Xing, Ding Xiu walked towards the place where the lunch box was placed.
