"Forget it. Let's not talk about this. Let's get back to business. I have decided to let you replace the male lead who quit, so that you can protect Song Ziyi at a close distance."
Xiao Nuo waved her hand irritably and decided not to think too much about it. She brought the topic back to filming.
"Don't. How can I act? You want to play the male lead? Don't think you can do it every time you want. Besides, even if I agree, the crew won't agree. Isn't this nonsense?"
Ding Ning repeatedly shook his head and refused. He was very willing to protect Song Ziyi closely, but it was absolutely impossible for him to act.
"Honey, do you not love me anymore? It's not easy for me to ask you to do something for me. Can you promise me? "
Xiao Nuo suddenly changed from a valiant policewoman to a beautiful woman as gentle as water. She held his arm and shook it, tempting him with her seductive eyes.
Ding Ning had never seen Xiao Nuo, who had always been traditional, so charming. Suddenly, his whole body became soft, and he involuntarily blurted out, "Okay, I promise you."
"Really, I know that you are the best."
Xiao Nuo happily kissed his face and instantly changed back to the businesslike policewoman. "Then it's a deal."
"Don't …"
Ding Ning came to his senses and secretly scolded himself for his lack of self-control. He wanted to go back on his word, but when he saw Xiao Nuo's fierce look, he really couldn't say it.
However, his heart was full of unwillingness to give in just like that. His brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about how he could get rid of this unreliable act without going back on his word.
He was a doctor, not an actor. Besides, the crew had investors. The first thing to consider was how to make money. Even if the director agreed to let a guy who was not an actor shoot a movie, the investors would never agree.
Thinking of this, Ding Ning showed an embarrassed expression. "Nuonuo, I promise you, but it's useless if I promise you. I am not an actor, how can the director agree? Besides, even if the director agrees, the investors won't allow us to mess around. "
"Then don't worry. Not only did the director agree to it, even the investors have agreed to it. They're paying an A-list actor. Although it's the lowest among the A-list actors, it's still two hundred thousand per episode. It's even higher than Song Ziyi, the Heavenly Queen. She's only paid a C-list actor. 'The Legend of the Sword and Fairy: The Heroine Couple' is a twenty-five episode TV series. You can get five million for your first TV series.
Xiao Nuo smiled like a little fox.
But Ding Ning's heart kept sinking. He felt that he had been tricked again. Five million? Hehe, is that a lot? Believe it or not, I'll change all the 20 billion in my card into coins right now and smash you to death with money!
"Why? Were the investors and directors out of their minds? I'm not an actor, why would they agree to let me play the male lead? "
Ding Ning asked with a puzzled look. He really couldn't understand it. Unless the investors and the director were out of their minds, they wouldn't make such a stupid decision.
"Why? Honey, do you really not understand your current net worth? If I were the investors, I would agree without hesitation. So what if I don't have acting skills? With your current fame and your huge number of fans, as long as the distributor does a little publicity, the gimmick of the little magic doctor shooting a Xianxia TV series can make your millions of fans crazy. Once it starts broadcasting, have you calculated how much your fans can increase the audience rating? "
Xiao Nuo said exasperatedly, "Even if only one-tenth of your tens of millions of fans watch it, there are still millions of them. Plus your patients, friends, classmates, and those who care about you or are interested in you, it will be a terrifying number. Not to mention other things, when your TV series is released, won't we sisters support you? Longteng Group alone has hundreds of subsidiaries. How many employees are there in the eight subsidiaries? They all have their own families, and then they call their friends. How many people will there be? "
"So, even if the TV series I shoot is a pile of shit, because of my fame, the audience rating of this TV series will be increased, right?"
Ding Ning completely understood that what Xiao Nuo said was not the whole story. If the fact that he was shooting a TV series was really publicized, not to mention the population base, even the big shots of the National Warrior's Mansion and the Central Agency might pay attention to it.
This perfectly explained why the investors and directors agreed to let him play the male lead and gave him the salary of an A-list actor. They completely relied on his fame to hype up the TV series.
He was under a lot of pressure. This was simply a joke with the reputation of the rest of his life. If he made a nondescript TV series, he would be laughed at.
"I …"
Ding Ning thought about it and felt that he could not fall into this trap. He was about to refuse sternly, but when he saw Xiao Nuo's fierce eyes, he immediately lost his temper.
He said with a wry smile, "Nuonuo, you want to put me on the stove to roast. How can I act? Aren't you afraid that I can't act well and become a laughing stock?"
"I believe you!"
Xiao Nuo's words made Ding Ning speechless for a long time. With a sad face, he was helpless. Who told him to be so possessed that he agreed to it at once?
"It will take a long time to shoot 25 episodes, and I don't have so much time."
Ding Ning struggled and tried to find an excuse to make Xiao Nuo take back her order.
"It doesn't matter. The crew will give priority to your schedule. If the shooting goes well, it will only take a few months."
Xiao Nuo made up her mind and rejected the reasons that Ding Ning had thought of with great difficulty one by one.
"A few months? How can I do that? I still have to attend the International Warriors Competition. "
Ding Ning said anxiously with a pale face.
"What's your cultivation now? It has long surpassed the standard of the International Warriors Competition, right? Only those in the Real Martial Arts Realm are allowed to suppress their cultivation to attend the Warriors Competition. What are you going to do? "
Xiao Nuo said with a somewhat unnatural expression. It seemed that her unintentional words made Ding Ning's mind flash. He finally understood what was wrong.
"Wait, there is something wrong with Xiao Nuo. According to her character, how could she force me to act regardless of my reputation for promotion?"
"Unless there is something more important to her than my reputation, so important that she would rather be made fun of and tie me to Ninghai."
Ding Ning thought quickly. He believed that Xiao Nuo would never harm him. Then, there was only one thing more important than his reputation, and that was his life.
Thinking about this and following this train of thought, he quickly understood that Xiao Nuo didn't want him to participate in the Warriors' Assembly.
"But why?" "The International Warriors Competition is not dangerous for me." "Why does she try so hard to prevent me from attending? Does she know the danger of the Heaven-accessing Secret Area, so she does not want me to attend?"
"It seems to make sense, but it is still not right. There are still several months before the opening of the Heaven-accessing Secret Area. Even if she is worried about me, she should stop me after a few months. She should not even prevent me from attending the Warriors Competition."
"Then the answer is obvious. She must have received some news. At the International Warriors Competition, maybe someone will harm me. Maybe it is a person or a certain force."
According to Xiao Nuo's understanding of him, the person or force that made her feel that he could not contend with must be a great threat to him.
Of course, this was because Xiao Nuo did not know that Ancestor Crane and the others were real God Realm masters. Unless it was a master at the level of Human Emperor who wanted to deal with him, he was really fearless with the protection of Ancestor Crane, who was in the God Transformation Realm.
"Nuonuo, tell me the truth. Did you hear something? That's why you're trying so hard to stop me from participating in the Warrior Assembly? "
Ding Ning was very interested in people or forces that wanted to harm him. After thinking for a moment, he stared at her and asked directly.
"No … no, you think too much. I just want to see you act. I think it is very interesting to see you on the screen."
Xiao Nuo's eyes drifted and she said hesitantly.
Ding Ning looked at her with a thought-provoking gaze and did not speak. His eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything made Xiao Nuo uncomfortable. She avoided his gaze.
One minute … Two minutes … Five minutes …
"Okay, I'll tell you, okay?"
After a full ten minutes, Xiao Nuo finally could not bear the interrogative gaze. She magnificently lost and raised her hands to surrender.
Before Ding Ning could speak, Xiao Nuo said first, "I received some bad news for you, but don't expect me to tell you the source of the news. Otherwise, I won't say anything."
Ding Ning nodded to show his acquiescence. There was no surprise on his face because Xiao Nuo did not know that he had peeped at her grandfather's appearance.
Although Ding Ning did not know who her grandfather was at that time, after remembering his appearance, it was not difficult to find out his identity as long as he paid a little attention.
When the results of the investigation came out, Ding Ning was really shocked. He used to be the number two figure in the military. Although it was said that he was the number two, under the circumstance that the number one was the number one in the Central Agency, he was the real number one in the military with real power.
It was from that moment that Ding Ning understood why Xiao Nuo could become the leader of the Witch Gang even though her family was not as powerful as Wen Rourou's. So many top childes in Yan Jing could not get a good result from her.
Even though the number two figure in the military had abdicated, his influence in the military would not weaken much in a short time. Few of those top playboys dared to stroke his whiskers.
Xiao Nuo's father was only the commander of a small local military region. So far, he was only a senior colonel. It seemed that he had not inherited the position that the Xiao Family should have in the military.
Ding Ning could not help but sigh inwardly. "Sure enough, wealth does not last for three generations. The Xiao Family is obviously going downhill. Now the Old Master has just abdicated, so the Xiao Family can still enjoy the glory of the ancestors. After a while, once the military is changed and the Old Master's disciples and old acquaintances abdicate, the Xiao Family will probably decline without a successor."
This also made Ding Ning understand why Xiao Nuo insisted on pursuing an official career. In the third generation of the Xiao Family, Xiao Chunan, the pillar of the Xiao Family, had lost three years of his good time because of the Descendants of God Organization. As a result, in terms of the administrative level, Xiao Nuo, who was at the divisional level, was the highest. It was natural that the Xiao Family had high hopes for her.
Like father, like son. Due to the special nature of the dragon soul, although Xiao Baiyu's superficial identity was only the commander of a small military region in a remote place, in fact, his identity was one of the three most mysterious dark star generals in the Shenzhou military. If he knew that he was despised by his future son-in-law because of this, he would definitely not know whether to laugh or cry.
"I got the news that Sword God Yagyuu of the Fusang Sword God Palace has led his chief disciple, Thirteenth Wang Wei, to Siberia. He wants to kill you at the Warriors' Assembly to avenge his disciple."
Xiao Nuo said without rhyme or reason, with worry flashing in her beautiful eyes, "He will not set foot in Shenzhou. He will kill you at the International Warriors' Assembly and kill you in public."
"Sword God Yagyuu? Avenge his disciple? What does it have to do with me? "
Ding Ning was confused and asked with a confused face.
