Chapter 146 Being deceived by the director(1/2)

Qin Gang chatted with Ding Xiu for a while, knowing that he was busy, so he stopped chatting.

"You're really wrong. I'm here for a visit this time. Negotiating the contract is the way to go."

"And let me tell you something. The post-production and sales process of Tianxia No. 1 is completed, and the next step is publicity. You have to be mentally prepared, you may not have much time."

Other managers are very considerate towards artists and do many things themselves.

He can't do it. In addition to being Ding Xiu's agent, he is also the boss of the company. He is usually very busy and doesn't have that much time.

I haven't even done the simplest visit a few times.

It's not that I haven't thought about changing Ding Xiu to an agent, but considering Ding Xiu's temperament, it seems a bit redundant.

This guy is lazy, not very ambitious, and doesn't want to make any money once he has money. He joins the group to film, and leaves the group to have fun. For him, the agent is just a middleman who is responsible for arranging dramas and negotiating remuneration.

Ding Xiu still looked lazy: "Understood."

The World's First has only thirty-five episodes. Given the speed of Hong Kong's production team, it is normal for it to take several months to complete post-production.

Produced by Wang Jing, starring Li Yapeng, Ding Xiu, Liu Songren, Guo Jingan, Chen Farong and others, this kind of lineup is easy to sell.

In addition, martial arts movies have nothing to censor, unlike gun fight movies, where gangster themes are easily banned.

It’s not surprising at all that it starts airing right after post-production is completed.

Qin Gang opened his mouth, but hesitated: "The producer put Li Yapeng in the first male role, and you are the second male lead."

Looking into the distance, Ding Xiu said nothing.

Qin Gang clenched his fists and said, "Don't be too discouraged. Let's just take the second male lead. Next time, let's work hard, know our shame and be brave, and try to get the first male lead."

Ding Xiu turned his head and looked at him and said calmly: "Why should I be discouraged? As an actor, I am only responsible for acting. Fighting for the position is the company's business. It is you who should be ashamed."

"Old Qin, know your shame and then be brave. You have to work hard."

The tea was already cold. Ding Xiu took a sip and got up to go filming, leaving Qin Gang messy in the wind.

"That seems to be the truth." After a long time, Qin Gang held back a sentence.

"Mr. Qin, do you want some melon?" Ding Xiu's assistant came over holding a piece of watermelon.

Qin Gang said with a straight face: "Have you any idea? On such a hot day, you don't even hold an umbrella for Brother Xiu to fan himself."

"How can anyone drink a cup of tea if it's hot?"

"If you can do it, do it; if you can't, get out."

The assistant bent down and apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, Brother Xiu didn't ask for it. I thought he didn't need it."

Qin Gang snorted: "You don't even think about it. You just carry your bags, book a flight, and buy a meal. Do I need to give you such a high salary?"

"Yes, yes, I understand."

"Be smart."

After scolding the assistant, Qin Gang left. After walking a few steps, he looked back and shook his head.

"Let's recruit another one another day. Recruit a woman. Women can take care of people."

"It's not good if you're too pretty, you won't know who will serve whom, and it's not good if you're too young, you're not considerate enough."



"Agarwood, using the Sky God Ax to kill me is a bit overkill, isn't it?"

"Why not use the Lotus Lamp? Humph, there is no lamp oil, right? Yang Jian, you have betrayed all your relatives, and now even the Lotus Lamp is not willing to help you."

"Oh, okay, I don't need the Lotus Lantern, and you don't need to use the God's Axe. How about we fight to the death?"

"You are looking for death."

The nephew and uncle flew into the sky to fight. One held a two-edged three-pointed knife, and the other held a small ax used by Taishang Laojun to chop wood.

From weapons to fists and feet, Yang Jian was completely tortured.

In the end, Chen Xiang used his hand instead of an ax and used a big move to seriously injure Yang Jian and knock him into the pool.

"Cao Jun is a good actor," the assistant director said in front of the monitor.

Cao Jun and Ding Xiu played opposite each other. Cao Jun was very good at acting. He had a very deep resentment towards his uncle and performed the deep hatred very well.

After defeating Yang Jian, the proud look on his face was not concealed at all.

Zhao Jian smiled and said: "He is often abused by Ding Xiu. Today he finally has the opportunity to beat Ding Xiu violently. How can he not be happy?"

After so many days of filming, this is the only time Cao Jun has not been beaten when he plays opposite Ding Xiu. He was always the one who got beaten before.

From being beaten in rehearsal to being beaten when filming officially started, don't mention how miserable it was.

"Click, pass!"

On the set, Ding Xiu, whose life was hanging by a thread, was about to die under the Eight Prince's nine-tooth rake, and the director shouted "Ka".

The staff came over to help him change clothes.

After taking off his wet armor, Ding Xiu was left in short sleeves and large pants. He looked up at the scorching sun above his head, and then at the gurgling mountain stream and pools.

With a fierce thrust, he jumped in, and everyone present was shocked.

"It's okay, I'll swim for a while, ah, it feels good."

This time, the filming was for an outdoor scene. The weather in the mountains was extremely hot. He had long wanted to get into the water, but he couldn't do it because he was wearing makeup.

This time he was filming the drowning scene and had to put on makeup again, so he took this opportunity to swim twice.

After swimming for a while, Ding Xiu came ashore, his short sleeves clinging tightly to his body, his eight-pack abs looming, and the girls watched intently.

The assistant was very discerning and opened a bottle of Coke, put a straw in it and handed it to him.

Ding Xiu took the Coke, drank it happily and went to the dressing room.

Ten minutes later, director Zhao Jian came in with the script.

Ding Xiu, who had just changed his clothes and was blow-drying his hair, said, "I thought you weren't coming."

Half of his script has been filmed, and now he doesn't have a word in his hand. If Zhao Jian doesn't come, he will have to make up random lines for the next scene.

"Isn't this coming?" Zhao Jian smiled slightly and put a thick stack of scripts on the table: "We will shoot half of the scene in a while. Just read the lines on the first page. A few words will take no effort, and the rest will be done without any effort."

Go back and take a look."

"Damn, so many."

In this drama, Cao Juncai is the male lead, and he has many roles. The brotherhood and love arcs all revolve around him.

As the second male lead, Ding Xiu is actually just a sidekick. He doesn't have many roles and only serves as a foil, so he's not very busy these days. Others are just busy, so he's relaxed and comfortable.

Originally, according to his estimation, the filming might be completed in two weeks at most, but he didn't expect that there would be so many scenes.

Given the thickness of the script in front of me, it would take several months to film it if the three ABC teams took turns shooting it every day.

Zhao Jian felt guilty. The original script really didn't have that much. The role of Yang Jian was really brilliant and Ding Xiu was so handsome. It was a tailor-made play. It was a pity that it was hastily written off.

The director, screenwriter, and producer all worked together to add some drama to make this character more flesh and blood.

"It's not much. I don't know how much will be left after editing."

Ding Xiu nodded: "That's right."

"Then you're busy, I won't disturb you anymore." After saying that, Zhao Jian exited the dressing room.

Filming was about to start. Ding Xiu looked at the script and frowned.

The scene picks up from the previous episode, where the Eighth Prince was about to rake Yang Jian to death with a nine-tooth nail. At the critical moment, a bone flew over to block him.

Roaring Sky Dog helped Yang Jian up and said loudly: "Master, why don't you tell the truth?"

"The price has been too great, too great for me to bear and unable to repay. Only by dying can I be freed."

Yang Jian, who was desperate for love, knocked away the roaring dog in front of him with one palm.

Here, Ding Xiu really had nothing to worry about, and Yang Jian actually came clean. This was something he didn't expect.

These days, he has been acting like a bad guy, bullying his nephew, killing the fourth princess of the dragon clan, breaking Sun Wukong's tendons and legs, turning against the Meishan brothers, etc.

As bad as it is.

I didn’t expect that half of the scene was filmed and it was completely washed out.

To be honest, playing the good guy Ding Xiu is a bit uncomfortable.

Seeing this, the Eighth Prince wanted to rake it down again. Yang Jian closed his eyes. At the moment of life and death, Xiaoyu appeared, interrupted the Eighth Prince's attack, and said that everything Yang Jian did was for the good of Chenxiang.

Before Chen Xiang and others could understand, Yang Jian grabbed Xiaoyu's shoulders and threw him aside.

In the distance, Chen Qi, lying on the ground, was very depressed.

"Who the hell is the screenwriter? Yang Jian gave me a slap and almost caused him to vomit blood. When he got to Xiaoyu, he gave me a gentle push."

Yang Jian wanted to die without any explanation. The eighth prince killed Yang Jian for the third time. If nothing else, an accident happened, and this time he failed again.

But what people didn't expect was that the person who helped Yang Jian was the dead fourth princess of the dragon clan.

The fourth princess told the truth and said that Yang Jian had been enduring the humiliation.
