Approaching the middle of the year, Ding Xiu walked out of the special effects studio.

The final special effects were almost done, and he didn't have to supervise the rest of the odd work.

Not to mention, after a month or two, he learned a lot, at least the whole process behind the scenes is understood.

If you are proficient, you will not be deceived in the future, and you will know where to do it.

During this period of time, the outside world has not changed much, Xu Haofeng's traces of the Japanese have been turned on, and the male No. 1 Song Yang passed the trial and began to practice kung fu.

It's just that this drama has an investment of 4 million, and his salary is not high, a total of 200,000.

He is still happy about this, and he is not afraid of the lack of money at all.

What young people want is an opportunity, and after becoming popular, he doesn't want to be paid as much as he wants, there is still a bit of a pattern.

"Squeak!"

After a few months, I returned to the courtyard house in Beiping again, and the courtyard was already a layer of leaves.

There were many paparazzi and fans before, so he had to move to other places to live, and this side was deserted.

After squatting for a while, he couldn't squat, and the fans and paparazzi also dispersed.

After changing his clothes, Ding Xiu came to Qin Dynasty Entertainment and went straight to Qin Gang's office, and before he got to the place, he met Yang Siwei, who had just come out of Qin Gang's office.

"Goodbye Mr. Qin."

"Go slowly, I won't send you if you're familiar with the way, come over for dinner another day."

"Okay Mr. Qin, I'll invite you another day."

If you resign and run away, you can still run this way, Ding Xiu is also convinced of Yang Siwei's ability, if he changes to another boss, I am afraid that he will not be killed.

"Why are you here?"

"Brother Xiu, I'll come over to talk about some business."

Dressed in a big red dress, her hair was slightly curled around her waist, a necklace of great value was hung around her neck, and a jade bracelet was on her wrist, which was estimated to be about 500,000 in Ding Xiu's eyes.

People rely on clothes, not to mention, Yang Siwei is a bit of a boss, and his aura is very strong.

She used to work at Qin Dynasty Entertainment, she was busy as a dog every day, sometimes she didn't have time for makeup, she changed into flat shoes as soon as she entered the office, her clothes were also casual, and her hair was often tied up.

This will be the boss, and the aura will be completely different.

Nodding, Ding Xiu glanced at Qin Gang: "I'll come over to talk about embroidering spring knives." ”

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, come in and say, Xiao Yang walks slowly."

Invited Ding Xiu into the office, Qin Gang closed the door.

Afraid that he would make tea and drink the old banzhang with a hot mouth, Ding Xiu hurriedly said: "I'm on fire, don't drink tea." ”

"I don't like to drink tea lately, wait a minute."

Qin Gang pushed open a door in the office, this was where he rested, and he came out again after a while, holding a plate of peanuts in his hand and a bottle of Moutai in his hand.

Open the drawer and throw two pairs of disposable chopsticks on the coffee table.

"Make do with it, that's it for today."

", Lao Qin, are you quitting? It's been a long time since I've seen your secretary. Without tearing the chopsticks, Ding Xiu first grabbed a few fried peanuts with his hands and threw them into his mouth, and then poured the wine.

In the past, when I came here every once in a while, I could see a different secretary.

There are royal sisters, young women, and college students.

Even Europe, America, Japan and South Korea can see it.

But Ding Xiu found that Qin Gang hadn't used a secretary for a long time, and the current assistant was also a man.

Subconsciously holding his waist, Qin Gang sighed: "Harm, I used to be young and ignorant, people, I still have to grow up, some things have been tried, I can't be obsessed, we have to be the master of desire, we don't have any willpower, we have been a slave of desire all my life, how can I do big things......"

"I know that there is a home remedy, which tonifies the kidneys, and the effect is very good, it can be effective in a week, and it will be drunk in a month to ensure that the dragon spirit is fierce and the second spring is exuded."

Qin Gang smiled slightly: "It just so happens that I have a friend who needs it, you give it to me, and I'll turn back to him." ”

Ding Xiu didn't bother to expose him.

Many things in the world are begged for, when I was young, my waist was good, but I could only grieve my hand, and then when I got older, I had money, and I didn't need to grieve my hand, but my waist was not good.

Qin Gang didn't practice martial arts, and he often socialized with the wine bureau and sat in the office, with this body, it was good to be able to survive in the past few years.

But it can't afford to squander.

A media interview with boxing champion Tyson once asked him what the secret of his success was, and he said that he had never had a girlfriend before he became a boxing champion.

Look, even the boxing champion can't stand it, since he has a girlfriend, the boxing champion is abolished, not to mention Qin Gang.

Ding Xiu drank wine and said, "I'll send you the prescription when you go back." ”

After three rounds of wine, the peanuts went to half a plate.

The two finally got down to business, and Ding Xiu said: "The ghost blows the lamp and it's done, isn't it time to arrange the embroidered spring knife?" ”

Qin Gang was surprised: "Aren't you not acting?" ”

The role that Ding Xiu wants to play is Ding Xiu, but Ding Xiu has very few roles in the first part, just a supporting role, male number five or six.

If it weren't for the company's play, Qin Gang wouldn't have recommended Ding Xiu to act.

"Act, of course." Ding Xiu squinted his eyes and said, "I want to be a director this time." ”

The behind-the-scenes work during this time was not in vain, and a big reason was that he wanted to make his own films.

Director, you can't just ignore anything, it's just a mallet and a pestle to be a puppet there.

In addition, he doesn't want his hard work to be in vain, this embroidered spring knife is typed out word by word, and the feelings of the sustenance are very deep, and he is not at ease when handed over to other directors.

"Poof!"

Qin Gang squirted out a mouthful of wine, his eyes widened in disbelief: "You are a director?" ”

Resisting the desire to pump his big mouth over, Ding Xiu wiped his face with his sleeve and said expressionlessly: "Yes, I am a director." ”

Qin Gang said seriously: "Brother Xiu, do you know what depth of field is, what is script, what is picture sense, and what art is?" ”

"The director's job is not easy to do, you need to coordinate the whole team, props, makeup, martial arts, although these are all done by professional people, but how to do it and to what extent it is decided by the director."

"If you are just fresh and want to be a director, I can let you hang up your name and do whatever you have to do when you get to the crew, let's try to listen to the assistant director."

Ding Xiu poured himself another glass of wine, raised his hand, and pulled out a beautiful wine line, and the sauce was fragrant.

"It's not a name, I'm going to do the embroidered spring knife myself this time, and I'm not at ease when I hand it over to others."

Qin Gang was apprehensive, and wanted to say that he was even more worried about handing it over to Ding Xiu.

How can the director be so simple, people who don't have some skills can't do it.

"If you're worried about losing money, I'm the sole proprietor of this play, just hand over the production team to me."

The embroidered spring knife is not a temporary idea, the script creation began as early as a year ago, intermittently, costumes and props, and framing are also following up, and now the shooting team and post-production are all in place.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

Actor.

As long as the actor is settled, he can turn on the camera at any time.

Ding Xiu wants to be a director, and he can be a director.

Qin Gang lowered his brows: "Brother Xiu, what are you talking about, am I that kind of person, you haven't begged me all these years, I've always been making trouble for you, you finally made a request to me, can I not agree?" ”

"Isn't it just tens of millions, the company is wholly owned, you are the director, do whatever you want."

", it's so expensive." Ding Xiu smacked his tongue.

He thought it was eighteen million.

After all, Xu Haofeng's four million dared to start filming.

Qin Gang chuckled: "This drama is a big production, with a tentative investment of 40 million, of which 70% of the money will be used for production costs, and the cost of actors will be reduced, so we are very demanding in casting, which is why I wanted you to star before." ”

It was supposed to be fifteen million.

Later, I found that I couldn't shoot it, and there were more scenes, all of which were labor and material costs.

The cost of props is very high, hundreds of weapons alone, and costumes, thousands of sets, all of which are newly customized, and the costumes of the main characters are handmade.

Because the company is trying to do film and television business, it has also bought some shooting equipment and machines, all of which are money.

got it all down, and found that the actors' salaries were too small.

is tentatively an actor, a first-line old drama bone, and a small flower.

But the rest of the funds can't invite this lineup, and they are ready to take Ding Xiu to the top, hoping to rely on him to pull some box office.

Ding Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "I'll give 20 million over there." ”

He is a director, one of the screenwriters, an author, and one of the actors.

You can't let the company pay this money, if you lose, you will definitely break your bones.

Qin Gang said: "In fact, if you are the male number one, it is not difficult to attract investment. ”

In these years, Ding Xiu's two words are the box office, young people love to watch the film and television dramas starring him, if he is not a director, just the male lead, there must be many bosses who will invest money, and they will line up to invest money.

After getting the money, as one of the producers and producers, the company stuffed a large number of its own actors into the market, used other people's money to make money, and also praised its own artists, killing two birds with one stone.

Ding Xiu shook his head: "I don't like the role of Shen Lian, it's too much of a dog." ”

He didn't say that in addition to licking the dog, Shen Lian was still the one who cut his master, stabbed his uncle, and inserted his junior brother.

Du Te is a senior brother, how can Ding Xiu do it.

Ding Xiu was determined to be a director, and only played the supporting role of Ding Xiu, Qin Gang was also very helpless: "20 million is 20 million, the company will pay 10 million, and the remaining 10 million will pull the coal boss into the pit, anyway, you are the big one." ”

"But we still have to make preparations, if we can't get the funds and want the crew to start filming, you still play the male lead, no one can come without you."

"Yes." Ding Xiu is still a little vague about his appeal.

He believes that the current coal bosses are discerning.

"Then let's discuss the heroine, I plan to let Yang Mi go." As soon as Qin opened his mouth, he pushed Yang Mi up.

The female number one has a rare opportunity, and her own artists don't praise anyone.

"Yang Mi can't do it, the role of Zhou Miaotong needs to be green, clean, and have the fragrance of books, she doesn't have these conditions."

Ding Xiu immediately refused.

Qin Gang was dumbfounded: "Big brother, your own artist, it's almost forgotten, don't be so harsh, who will act or not." ”

It's impossible to 100% replicate the characters in the script, it's pretty much enough.

In these years, the market is fierce, even Yang Mi, it is not easy to get a female number one with a big production, the opportunity is rare, and you can win it.

Ding Xiu shook his head: "No, this is my first director's play, I must keep improving, the role of Zhou Miaotong is played by a post-eighty-five actress, acting skills are secondary, I want to be beautiful and amazing." ”

"Have you thought of anyone?"

"Not yet."

In Ding Xiu's mind, many actresses appeared, and who to choose depends on the effect after the fitting.

"Where's the male number one?"

"Do you have anything to recommend?"

Qin Gang said: "In our plan, it is set that the actor Zhang Zhen will play Shen Lian, the old drama bone Wang Qianyuan of the Mesozoic Era will play Lu Jianxing, and Jin Yichuan will be handed over to Song Yang." ”

actor Zhang Zhen, Wanwan actor, a ruthless person who was nominated for the Golden Horse actor at the age of fifteen, debuted for many years, and won the B-class actor, if it weren't for bad luck, this would already be a few actors.

The war film Chibi won more than 500 million at the box office.

So far, he is also among the best among the younger generation of male actors, but he is only weaker than Ding Xiu.

Wang Qianyuan is a few years older than Ding Xiu and Zhang Zhen, and his appearance is average, but his acting skills are excellent, his reputation is good, and he is a good green leaf.

According to the company's plan, Zhang Zhen, Wang Qianyuan, Ding Xiu, this Wang Bang combination appeared, basically locking in a box office of 100 million, and there was no shortage of investors.

But now something has gone wrong, Ding Xiu wants to be a director, and investors may not dare to invest in him.

And the most important point is that I am afraid that Ding Xiu will change actors.

"Very good." Ding Xiu recalled the image of the two in his mind, and imagined that they would look like in ancient costumes, and they were passable, not bad.

Qin Gang smiled bitterly: "It's not a question of whether it's good or bad now, I'm afraid that they will know that you are the director and refuse to come." ”

Ding Xiu frowned: "Try it as much as you can, if you can't say it again, I don't think I have such a good idea." ”

"Why don't I call and ask a few coal bosses now?" Qin Gang said tentatively.

Ding Xiu confidently: "Ask." ”

……

His idea is very good, as soon as he heard that he was a director, his tone immediately changed, and some said that the coal mine collapsed, and he lost a lot of money, and there was no money for the time being.

Some say that they have had a lot of girlfriends recently, and they have smashed a few dramas, and they haven't returned to their original costs yet, hoping to wait for him here for a year and a half.

Some are still moral, saying that Ding Xiu will not vote as a director, but Ding Xiu will vote as an actor.

Qin Gang took his mobile phone and said to Ding Xiu: "Why don't I ask the actors?" ”

The corners of Ding Xiu's mouth twitched: "You ask, I'll go to the toilet." ”

He was afraid to sit here and couldn't help but want to hit someone.

Businessmen are very profitable, and it is really difficult to get it, you are popular, you are famous, all kinds of stammering, once you may bring losses to others, you will immediately turn your face and deny people.

Coming outside, Ding Xiu walked towards the bathroom, passed by the office, and saw Yang Siwei chatting with his old subordinates.

After seeing him, Yang Siwei got up: "Brother Xiu." ”

"You're not gone yet."

"Waiting for you."

"What are you waiting for me?"

"It's rare to come here, I want to treat you to a cup of coffee, I don't know if I have time."

"I'll have something to do later."

"It won't be long in coming."

With her hands in her pockets, Ding Xiu knew that she was looking for herself, and her chin tapped: "Yes." ”

Yang Siwei raised the two cups of coffee in his hand: "If you don't mind, the wind blows on the rooftop." ”

came to the rooftop and put a cup of coffee Ding Xiu, Ding Xiu smelled it: "I have a heart, it's still the old taste." ”

"No, I was your assistant after all." Knowing that Ding Xiu was short of time, Yang Siwei got straight to the point: "I just heard you and Mr. Qin talk about embroidering spring knives." ”

"Hmm."

"Is there still an investment, take me with you."

If you want to, you can take a look
