This actor needs more money

Every year during the Spring Festival, big guys from all walks of life show off their special abilities, and in the end they are killed in a bloody mess.

Zhao Liying also has a movie released during this year's Spring Festival.

Ride the wind and waves.

Starring Deng Chao and Peng Yuyan, Zhao Liying is the female lead.

The director of this play is Han Han, who like Guo Jingming is a writer. They are about the same age as each other.

Even the life trajectories are somewhat the same.

In addition to riding the wind and waves, this year's Spring Festival will also feature Wang Baoqiang's "Havoc in Tianzhu". Although his publicity is not large, Baoqiang's popularity is not small at all.

Every now and then there is a hot search.

The agent was arrested and the lawsuit was brought to trial... The couple had a quarrel at night to expose each other's shortcomings.

It's a pity that even his girlfriend and manager couldn't come up with anything to keep him strong, making him the most clean person in the entertainment industry.

At the end of January, Ding Xiu was invited to attend the premiere of Riding the Wind and Waves to support Zhao Liying.

"Teacher Ding, please come this way. Thank you for your hard work."

Han Han didn't expect Ding Xiu to come, and his smile was brighter than a chrysanthemum.

After entering, Ding Xiu chatted with Zhao Liying and Deng Chao, all of whom were old acquaintances.

Zhao Liying personally took Ding Xiu to his seat and said halfway: "Brother Xiu, have you heard of Director Han Han?"

"A famous writer, I've heard that his sorrow flows against the current."

Zhao Liying snickered: "You're quite dirty when you curse."

"Ah, what's wrong?"

"You are talking about Guo Jingming's book."

"Yeah." Ding Xiu was a little embarrassed, but luckily he didn't say it in front of Han Han.

Xiao Guo and Xiao Han are indeed different.

Although both of them are Internet gods of war, and they often criticized the entire Internet during their peak period, Han Han's reputation has always been there.

Xiao Guo's reputation is not very good in both the entertainment and literary circles.

The entertainment industry scolded him for making bad movies and collecting bad money, while the literary world scolded him for being a thief and plagiarist.

After chatting with Ding Xiu all the way and sending people to their seats, Zhao Liying did not go out to greet the guests anymore. She had few friends, so all she could come came.

Soon, the movie starts.

Riding the Wind and Waves is a very light comedy.

From a professional perspective, Ding Xiu has many shortcomings, such as shooting techniques, scripts, and actors' performance styles.

But overall, this movie was still above the pass mark. At least he laughed five or six times after watching the whole movie.

If I had to give it a score, it would be seven.

Much better than Guo Jingming's childhood.

Now it seems that Han Han not only dominates Guo Jingming in the literary world, but also in the directing world.

I just don’t know if the box office is as big as Little Times.

The Little Times trilogy together exceeds 1 billion, with an average of 400 million per film. If Riding the Wind and Waves can exceed 400 million at the box office, then Han Han will be considered a success.

A box office of 400 million doesn't seem like much. After all, there are movies with a box office of 1 billion every year, and there are even two movies with a box office of more than 3 billion.

But for a new director like Han Han, the box office of 400 million is a hurdle.

If Ding Xiu guessed correctly, the cost of riding the wind and waves would be at least more than 100 million, and 400 million would just be the return to the original line.

Without a box office revenue of 400 million, it would be a loss.

It will not be so easy for Han Han to attract investment for his next drama.

On the contrary, if it exceeds 400 million, his path will only become smoother and smoother in the future.

After watching Riding the Wind and Waves, Ding Xiu politely declined the show's invitation to have dinner. He had to rush to his next show. Bao Qiang's Tianzhu is also premiering today.

Compared to Han Han's place, Baoqiang's place was much more lively, with all the first-line artists coming and going, all of whom were household names.

What the two have in common is that there are not many directors in the front row to support them.

The older generation of directors have a good job, and every year a lot of bad movies are made by them, making money and making money.

It would be strange to be happy when such a group of young people suddenly come out to grab jobs.

Ding Xiu, Xu Zheng, Wu Jing, Guo Jingming, Han Han, Wang Baoqiang...this group of young people robbed them of how much box office they had.

People who work in the same industry are enemies, and it would be considered civilized not to throw shit at the door on the day of the movie's release.

"Brother Xiu!"

"Stay strong!"

After not seeing each other for a long time, the two greeted each other from a distance and hugged each other when they got closer.

Ding Xiu looked at Wang Baoqiang. He was obviously a few years younger than him, but he was much weathered now and looked very haggard.

The temples are slightly gray, and the eyes are full of vicissitudes of life.

"No need to send it off, I'll go in by myself while you are busy first."

"Okay brother, let's have two drinks tonight, Brother Bo is already inside."

"OK!"

In the theater, Ding Xiu saw Huang Bo in the first row. The two of them were sitting next to each other, just catching up on old times.

Huang Bo whispered: "Women, they are indeed a stumbling block. Look at the harm Bao Qiang has suffered. I said at the beginning that those women were unreliable, but this boy didn't listen."

"Stop talking about you. I even advised him to keep his property in his hands, but he turned a deaf ear to it. This time he almost lost it all."

"So, when looking for a wife, you still have to find someone who knows everything about her. Look at my wife, I've known her since high school, and we live in the same place. After all these years, nothing has happened."

"Ah, yes, yes, everything you said is right, then why has my sister-in-law been your assistant again in the past few months?"

In the past few years, Huang Bo's assistant had been his wife. Perhaps because she later saw that he was honest, his wife went home after staying for a few years.

After the Baoqiang incident happened, my sister-in-law came back again.

Now whenever they go on business trips, the couple is inseparable.

"What are you thinking? We haven't seen each other for a long time. We are rekindling our relationship together."

Huang Bo also said with a guilty conscience.

No one is a sage, and no one can be dusty. Ever since the paparazzi took photos of him and Baldy Xu spending time day and night, frequenting bars when he was playing Thai Jon in Thailand, his wife began to monitor him.

Now he only has two assistants, one is his wife and the other is his brother-in-law.

When his wife is away, his brother-in-law takes care of him.

When my wife is free, she comes over to take over her shift.

"Okay, I'll just treat you as if you're just cultivating a relationship. Baoqiang said we'd have a drink together at night. Do you think you should report it to your family?"

"What happened to the old man after having a drink? Reporting is nonsense."

Before coming, Huang Bo had already reported it, and the reason was to drink tonight to comfort his brother.

After the two sat down, it was not until the movie started that Wu Jing came belatedly. He said he had just finished a meeting and rushed over immediately.

Ding Xiu punished him to drink three cups in a while.

Wu Jing repeatedly said yes.

Soon, the movie starts.

To be honest, this comedy is not funny at all.

It's a copycat of Journey to the West, but it's an urban version with nothing new at all.

The cast is quite fancy. In addition to Bao Qiang, there are also Baike, Yue Yunpeng, Liu Yan, Huang Bo, Chen Peixi, Zhu Shimao...

Most of them are not professional movie actors, they are just a hodgepodge.

To be honest, being an actor is top notch, but being a director still has a long way to go.

"Brother Xiu, what do you think?" After the movie, Wang Baoqiang asked Ding Xiu in a low voice.

"You still have a lot of room for improvement."

"It's so tactful. You can say it directly. I can handle it."

"Yeah?"

"Yes."

"The most disappointing director for this year's Golden Broom is that you are probably shortlisted."

"I'm sorry, your words are so hurtful."

"You asked me to tell you directly."

Ding Xiu's comment was just a small episode. Wang Baoqiang turned around and went to greet other guests. After finishing his work, he went straight to the hotel.

At this time, in the box, Ding Xiu, Huang Bo, and Wu Jing had just finished a round of drinks.

Pulling up a chair and sitting down, Wang Baoqiang took a few bites of the food and said, "I've been busy all day and haven't eaten yet. Brothers, I'll come and have a round first. Thank you for your support."
