After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn
Chapter 19
"You are amazing!"
During the lunch break, Qiao Miaowei, the second female lead who was forced in by the investor, carefully approached Tao Mu with a box of lunch: "I don't think you are very old, why are you so good at acting?"
Probably because the funder was exposed too early, and she is a salesperson selling donkey brand bags without any talent or background at all. Qiao Miaowei's position in the crew is very delicate.Those actresses with professional background despise Qiao Miaowei's background and career path, and don't like to talk to her.Actors like Ning Yuan cherish their feathers, and they are afraid of causing misunderstandings by investors, so they don't like to talk to her.Coupled with director Zhao Xinming's attitude of disliking her, the staff of the crew also communicated with Qiao Miaowei less.So much so that she is obviously the important second female lead in the play, but she is neglected and ignored when she is not filming.
Qiao Miaowei herself knew that she was from a bad background and was not popular. Except for the first few tentative contacts, she rarely went to hang out in front of the actors of the same crew to avoid embarrassing herself.This time I came to find Tao Mu, firstly because Tao Mu had just joined the group, and the coffee position was too small, so she probably wouldn't face her in person; secondly, because Tao Mu's acting skills were really great.Qiao Miaowei hopes to get some scriptures from Tao Mu, at least to help her cope with the shooting in front of her.
When Qiao Miaowei walked towards Tao Mu with the boxed lunch, she attracted the attention of many people in the crew.Hearing Qiao Miaowei's question, the group of people moved their ears and pretended to be listening.
Tao Mu can't always say that he was used to being suppressed by the film king in his previous life, and it accumulated over time and finally exploded.Since those ten years of polishing were missing, Tao Mu could only admit to himself with a cheeky face: "Probably because of his talent."
Qiao Miaowei: "..."
A sneer came from behind, and Shang Xianyue, who played the heroine in the play, said mercilessly, "I won't go back and look in the mirror."
"You—" Qiao Miaowei looked at Shang Xianyue angrily.
As Xia Xing Entertainment's leading actress, Shang Xianyue has had a great stardom in the past two years. Last year, the two dramas she received were ranked in the top three of the annual ratings list. At the beginning of this year, she just won the lead role in one of the TV dramas. After receiving the Golden Lily Award.At the time when the wind was blowing and the water was rising, the momentum was at its peak.
When Qiao Miaowei first joined the set, her benefactor had warned in every possible way that no one in the set could offend Shang Xianyue.Therefore, even if Qiao Miaowei was scolded on the face by Shang Xianyue, she didn't dare to speak back.The appearance of daring to be angry but daring to speak out and throwing a mouse, looks very pitiful.
It was the lunch break time, and the other actors and staff in the crew were sitting in twos and threes around the set, and they all saw this scene.However, everyone either turned a blind eye or watched the show with their arms folded. No one was willing to stand up and rescue Qiao Miaowei.
Tao Mu sighed in his heart, and said, "Teacher Shang is right."
"What did you say?" Qiao Miaowei turned her head sharply, looking at Tao Mu in disbelief, her expression was both angry and stern.She didn't expect Tao Mu to make trouble at this time.
Shang Xianyue looked over with a half-smile.
Tao Mu continued: "Miss Qiao's problem is that she can't make natural expressions and movements in front of the camera. This is also normal, after all, Miss Qiao is not from a major and has not undergone systematic training. When ordinary people face the camera, You will feel uncomfortable to some extent. So what you have to do now is to look in the mirror more when you go back. Rehearse your facial expressions and lines in front of the mirror. You can also ask an assistant to help you with the scene. When do you feel less awkward? What? It's time."
After a pause, Tao Mu added a few more words: "Of course, considering the problem of positioning, you'd better set up a few more cameras, practice and watch by yourself, and ponder over and over again. You can also find a few TV dramas and choose a few. Imitate your favorite character."
When Tao Mu said this, he glanced at Shang Xianyue again, and pointed out with a smile: "Mr. Shang won the Golden Lily Award in "Xiaoxiao Yuxie", in which the heroine's character design is similar to that of "The Legend of Heroes". There are some similarities. If Ms. Qiao is interested, she may as well try to figure it out. If she is lucky enough to get a few suggestions from Teacher Shang, at least this drama is more than enough."
Qingling is the second female number played by Qiao Miaowei in the play.The reason why Tao Mu said that was not to really ask Qiao Miaowei and Shang Xianyue to ask for advice on acting skills.Just to save Qiao Miaowei, he gave Shang Xianyue a hand.In order to avoid Shang Xianyue angering him.
Qiao Miaowei can naturally see that she is so long-sleeved and good at dancing.Immediately turned from anger to joy, and walked down the steps with a smile: "So that's what happened. I just said, why did Miss Shang ask me to look in the mirror? It's not too late, I'll go back to rehearse right now, you guys talk slowly. "
Qiao Miaowei held her respect stiffly, and immediately dragged her assistant away in a hurry.Shang Xianyue crossed her arms and looked at Qiao Miaowei's slightly embarrassed figure with cold eyes.He raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You are soft-hearted."
Tao Mu's eyebrows were relaxed: "I'm telling the truth. Mr. Shang's acting skills are superb, and his expressions and movements are very beautiful when filming, and he is full of emotions. You must be an expressionist, right?"
Shang Xianyue smiled.She found that Tao Mu was particularly good at defusing the wit in other people's speech.And the skill of flattering is level 10, and the skill of striking up a conversation is at least level 10.5.
"Don't call me Mr. Shang. Everyone is filming in the same crew, so you can just call me Sister Yue." As Shang Xianyue said, she simply sat down next to Tao Mu, and said with a gentle smile, "I heard that you were admitted to Beijing. Shadow? Why didn’t you go to Yanying?”
Generally speaking, Jing Ying produces actors, and Yan Ying produces stars.Shang Xianyue can tell just by looking at Tao Mu's face that if he is tested for Yan Ying, he will not be a first-line superstar in the future, but he will be able to act in a few idol dramas and become famous.If you're lucky, maybe there will be a "Tao Munian", just like her "Shang Xianyue Nian" last year.
But going to Beijing is not necessarily the case.As we all know, actors from Jingying generally follow the orthodox route, and most of the styles of filming and TV series have the main theme.That kind of drama basically doesn't think too much about appearance. An actor like Tao Mu who is too handsome and temperamental will make the director and producer suspicious-worried that Tao Mu's appearance will overwhelm the audience and suppress the plot.Unless Tao Mu's acting skills are so superb that people ignore his face.
Thinking of this, Shang Xianyue suddenly thought of the little disturbance that Tao Mu had caused when he took the makeup photo in the morning, and suddenly said, "It seems that you are very confident in yourself."
If Tao Mu can suppress his face with his acting skills, then choosing Jingying will undoubtedly contribute to his acting career.After all, with Jingying's authority and influence in China's entertainment industry, as long as Tao Mu can imprint Jingying's brand on himself and become a student that Jingying focuses on publicity, then the contacts he has accumulated in Jingying will undoubtedly become his career. Ascension background.
Shang Xianyue also thought of the gossip that several big brokers wanted to sign Tao Mu, but was rejected by Tao Mu on the grounds of abiding by school rules, and suddenly felt that she had seen Tao Mu's ambition.
It's ambition, but it's actually a gamble.After all, not all artists have the confidence to trade three years of obscurity for a chance to be favored by a big boss.In particular, during the three years, he had to constantly reject all kinds of temptations to become famous overnight and rise to the sky in one step.Shang Xianyue doesn't know how long Tao Mu can persist, but she firmly believes that if Tao Mu can really persevere and get Jingying's favor smoothly, then Tao Mu will definitely have a place in the future Huaxia entertainment circle.
Shang Xianyue thought to herself, and was shocked by Tao Mu's ambition.But he didn't know that Tao Mu's goal was not only to gain a place in the entertainment industry - he paid so much, but what he wanted was half of Huaxia's entertainment industry!
But these words are too early.Tao Mu lives in the present, and has to honestly make a match for everyone.This scene is a confrontation between the killer Wuming and the heroine. This is a fight scene mixed with literature. Tao Mu has a total of five lines, including punctuation marks, a total of ten words.
During the filming, because Shang Xianyue intended to make friends, the atmosphere between the two was very happy.Ning Yuan, who played the male lead, just watched coldly from the sidelines.He found that no matter how the camera lighting was adjusted, Tao Mu always had a way to find the most accurate and suitable position and angle. Even if the shots he took were not the most handsome, they were also the most textured.
Those tricks that have been tried and tested on idol actors seem to be useless on Tao Mu.And as Tao Mu continued to show his talents, the lighting and camera, which had made things difficult for him before, began to change his attitude - this can be seen from Tao Mu's more and more beautiful lighting and shooting angles in the lens .
I can't let it go any longer.
Ning Yuan knew it well, and he hinted that the crew members made things difficult for Tao Mu. From a certain point of view, it can also be seen as Ning Yuan's right to speak to the entire crew.
During the entire filming period, the director, as the uncrowned king of the studio, must have his own right to speak; investors and producers, as funders, must have their own right to speak; own right to speak.
This is also the reason why Ning Yuan repeatedly hinted that the lighting, camera, and makeup artist made things difficult for Tao Mu, and Zhao Xin and others knew it but didn't stop it.
But now, if Tao Mu can gain a firm foothold under Ning Yuan's many difficulties, although Tao Mu's own potential has been demonstrated, it will also slap Ning Yuan invisibly.At that time, Ning Yuan's influence on the crew will not be as good as before.What's more serious, it will even affect Ning Yuan's status in Xia Xing Entertainment.
Ning Yuan is arrogant, of course he cannot accept this situation.And the agent standing behind Ning Yuan didn't want to see Zhao Keping really sign Tao Mu, so as to ask for more resources in the company and get more voice.
In other words, Tao Mu's momentum in the crew of "The Legend of Heroes" must be curbed.
*****
Because the killer Wuming's weapon is a soft sword, an important factor for Zhao Xin to value Tao Mu is in the play part.In order to better shape the character, Tao Mu had to set aside more time in private to rehearse soft sword moves.Going to bed at two o'clock every day, starting at five o'clock is the norm.In addition to practicing swords, he did not forget to pay close attention to the stock market of country M on the other side of the ocean, as well as the changes in the international oil futures market.
Time is running out, but fortunately, the scenes of "Zi Xiao" are almost done.On the third day after Tao Mu entered the group "Legend of Heroes", his stand-in role in "Zi Xiao" was completely completed.
Although Tao Mu was just a military substitute, because Chen Yiqian was very optimistic about Tao Mu, he still held a small wrap-up banquet for Tao Mu.It was said to be a wrap-up banquet, but in fact, it was an extra meat dish added to the box lunch that day.During the period, Shen Yu also ran over and grabbed Tao Mu's hand to say goodbye, and kept telling Tao Mu to drag his phone number out of the blacklist, otherwise he would visit the crew of "The Legend of Heroes" every day.Tao Mu can't be bothered.
On the other hand, after leaving the crew of "Zi Xiao", Tao Mu also had more time to ponder the role of killer Wuming.Especially in the play part, in order to practice the moves of Green Snake Soft Sword more beautifully, Tao Mu also specially invited a teacher to teach him water sleeves-mainly because there are very few teachers who can teach the whip technique.Moreover, Tao Mu felt that using the original book's description of the killer's Wuming's moves, the flowing clouds and flowing water were feminine and ruthless, it seemed that some of the actions of the water sleeves were more suitable.As for temperament, Tao Mu felt that he could be tough.
No matter how much those people in the previous life criticized Tao Mu, one thing that cannot be denied is that Tao Mu is a person who can endure hardships.Especially on the point of "to achieve the goal", Tao Mu can be ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to himself.So every night filming lasted until one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, and I continued to get up at four o'clock the next morning to practice martial arts. I was struggling with bruises and bruises all over my body. In just seven days, I practiced all the movements to such an extent. The arm makes the finger.
People from the same crew witnessed how Tao Mu polished his martial arts moves from beautiful and blunt to stunning.Even if everyone didn't say it, they were all feeling in their hearts.A large number of martial artists, including Teacher Wu Zhi, were even more convinced by Tao Mu.Just when everyone felt that Tao Mu would definitely become famous overnight with the role of Killer Wuming, a piece of bad news came——
It was Director Zhao who told him personally that the role of Killer Wuming is not for him anymore.He was replaced by the son of a major shareholder of Xia Xing Entertainment, a rich second generation who wanted to show off and entered the entertainment industry to play tickets.
******
When Zhao Xin talked to Tao Mu, Tao Mu was in the middle of a scene with the leading actor Wu Ti.A big scene is going to be filmed tonight, which is the chase scene where the leading actor and the killer Wuming meet for the first time.Because of the need to hang on to Wia, the grand scene of the two fighting around Jinling City was also filmed in the studio. During the period, extras were required to play the role of the palace guards and city guards, holding torches in the streets and alleys to cooperate with the male lead in capturing Wuming—that’s right. This is still a night scene, and the combination of various factors made scene scheduling very difficult, so the crew dragged this scene to a later stage for filming.The purpose is to let Tao Mu integrate into the crew as soon as possible.
Facts have proved that Tao Mu's performance did not disappoint everyone.In just over ten days, Tao Mu has entered the state, whether it is literary or play, his performance is very delicate and amazing.
It is indeed a good seedling, but when the luck is not good.
Zhao Xin looked at Tao Mu in front of him and sighed slightly.The heart of stone that has been cultivated for many years in the industry rarely shows a few ripples of guilt: "... As you know, Xia Xing Entertainment is the largest investor and producer of this show. The person who will replace you is the major shareholder of Xia Xing Entertainment dear nephew..."
Zhao Xin hesitated to speak, and looked at Zhao Keping—in order to get rid of Tao Mu smoothly, Zhao Xin even called his old friends.The main reason is that I am really embarrassed to persuade Tao Mu to leave.After all, after Tao Mu joined the group, everyone saw the hard work he put in to play the role of Wuming well.
It's a pity that personal efforts, no matter how sincere and sweaty they are, can't be worth a word of capital.
Zhao Keping was also very guilty: "When the boss told me about this matter, I also strongly opposed it. But someone in the company reported that you were not a signed artist of Xia Xing Entertainment, and I privately found someone from outside to play the role of Wuming. Out of selfishness, I disregarded the interests of the company. Some people said that I was deliberately targeting Ning Yuan."
Ning Yuan is the hero of "The Legend of Heroes".It is also a very popular niche in the circle in the past two years who has squeezed from the third tier to the second tier, because he has filmed several popular idol dramas and costume dramas one after another, and it is on the rise.Tao Mu knew that Ning Yuan had been very hostile and wary of him since the day he joined the group.Probably because he was afraid that Tao Mu would buy the script after the TV series aired—after all, Tao Mu's performance in the crew is obvious to all, and Zhao Keping has always liked to engage in bundled marketing.
"Ningyuan's manager directly brought the matter to the big boss, leaving no room for me to maneuver. In addition, you are not a signed artist of Xia Xing Entertainment, and the company wants to make the big shareholders happy..." Zhao Keping emphasized Tao Mu again He looked embarrassed and guilty for not signing with Xia Xing Entertainment.
But Zhao Keping's reason is also very reasonable.This script was originally invested by Xia Xing Entertainment, and now the prince of Xia Xing Entertainment wants to play tickets, and has taken a fancy to Tao Mu's role, and Tao Mu is not an artist of the company, no matter from which point of view, Xia Xing Entertainment has no In order to fulfill Tao Mu's need to wrong himself.
Zhao Xin is actually more guilty than Zhao Keping.He originally insisted on using Tao Mu, because Tao Mu's performance really met his aesthetic and shooting requirements.However, the major shareholder of Xia Xing Entertainment is rich and powerful, and directly expressed his intention to invest in Zhao Xin to make a movie. Zhao Xin has been preparing for this original movie for more than two years, but he has not been able to find a reliable investor or distributor. It became a heart disease.Now someone jumped out to take the offer, it was impossible for Zhao Xin not to take the olive branch.
In the final analysis, the friendship between Zhao Xin and Tao Mu was not to the point of wronging himself to fulfill Tao Mu.
Both Zhao Xin and Zhao Keping thought that Tao Mu would definitely make trouble after hearing the news, and they were even prepared to be scolded.
Unexpectedly, Tao Mu didn't react at all after listening to the two people's words, and asked directly: "Then am I leaving the group today?"
Both Zhao Xin and Zhao Keping were stunned.
Zhao Xin looked at Tao Mu curiously: "Don't you blame us?"
"There's nothing to complain about." Tao Mu looked flat.Zhao Keping and Zhao Xin were worried that Tao Mu would not be able to bear this kind of grievance because he was too young.But I don't know that Tao Mu is not real.Even in the 18 years he was an orphan in his previous life, Tao Mu's life has never been smooth sailing.It is not once or twice that a good opportunity is clearly caught but replaced by others.
Since Zhao Xin and Zhao Keping were able to find him and tell him about this decision, it proved that there was no way to undo this matter, and it was not something that could be changed by his quarreling or pleading.So instead of wasting his energy crying and complaining, Tao Mu might as well withdraw quickly and gracefully.
Of course, there are issues that must be resolved before we can pull away.
"Although I don't know what happened in the middle, I don't think the crew will dismiss an actor who has signed a contract and performed well without reason." Tao Mu said here, smiling at the two of them comfortably , and in turn persuaded Zhao Xin: "I think you must have worked hard and weighed it. The final decision must be more conducive to the filming of the crew."
"It would be a lie to say that I am not disappointed or sad. But I can't cause trouble for everyone because of my own emotions. Besides, the crew will pay liquidated damages if they break the contract, so legally speaking, no one owes me anything. Although I just I haven’t joined the society yet after going to university, but the basic spirit of contract is still there.”
How can the world go as expected, since the situation cannot be changed, Tao Mu can only win the hearts of the people.Because sometimes, being able to win people's hearts means maximizing benefits.
Sure enough, after hearing Tao Mu's words, Zhao Xin was immediately moved.He almost revealed the whole deal between himself and Xia Xing Entertainment, but at the critical moment, reason overcame emotion.Even so, Zhao Xin could not hide his excitement and appreciatively patted Tao Mu on the shoulder: "Xiao Mu, you are such a good boy..."
Zhao Keping didn't expect Tao Mu's reaction to be so open-minded and beautiful.To be honest, he really doesn't look like a good boy.But when he thought of Tao Mu's life experience, Zhao Keping understood it.The children of the poor have long been in charge of the family.Although Tao Mu's performance did not meet Zhao Keping's expectations, Tao Mu's series of responses after knowing the incident were enough for Zhao Keping to see that the child had a high EQ.At least not one to be swayed by emotions.
Good looks, good acting skills, kung fu, emotional intelligence is also visible to the naked eye, if such a person cannot be signed, it will be a big loss for Xia Xing Entertainment and Zhao Keping.
Thinking of this, Zhao Keping became more and more distressed, and said sincerely: "Xiao Mu, thank you for understanding us so well. This time it was Brother Zhao's oversight. Don't worry, Brother Zhao will introduce you to other people." Audition opportunity."
Tao Mu smiled. Compared to this, Tao Mu cared about another thing: "To be honest, what does Director Zhao think of my play?"
Zhao Xin was still at the point of being moved by Tao Mu. Hearing this, he blurted out his heartfelt words without thinking: "It's very good. It can be called the first-class level in China."
Tao Mu's eyebrows stretched: "Isn't it much better than the one who replaced me?"
"It can't be compared at all—" Zhao Xin was terrified, immediately stopped talking, looked at Tao Mu, and asked in doubt: "What... what do you want to say?"
"Don't worry, Director Zhao, I won't make things difficult for you. It's just a deal." Tao Mu smiled shyly at Zhao Xin.
After coming out of the director's lounge, Tao Mu first went to the financial side to collect liquidated damages.The finances have been notified, and the money was given very happily.By the way, I also expressed a regretful attitude: "You are really good at acting. Even if you don't have this opportunity, you will definitely become popular in the future. Don't be discouraged."
Another person said in the tone of someone who has experienced it: "This society is like this. There are always people who go through the back door. You just remember that gold will shine sooner or later. When you become popular, such things will be rare."
Finally, in order to make the children happy, all the old aunts and young ladies from the finance department took out their new generation smartphones to take a photo with Tao Mu.The euphemistic name is to wait for Tao Muhong to get the online auction.
"At least it proves that we all know people with eyesight. We discovered the childhood of the emperor superstar."
"If you sign us again, maybe a photo can sell for more than 1 yuan."
How could someone spend 1 yuan to buy a group photo?
Tao Mu smiled, but thanked everyone for carefully protecting his emotions.I also took a group photo with everyone seriously and signed my name.
When Tao Mu walked out of the finance department, basically the entire crew knew the gossip about Tao Mu being kicked.Unlike the financial ladies who have no interests involved, the reactions of the actors of the crew were varied.There are those who really feel sorry for Tao Mu—basically they are all actresses, and some don’t care, and there are those who obviously gloat but come to Tao Mu to express their regrets hypocritically.
Tao Mu dealt with it one by one, without crying or resentment as everyone imagined.When he returned to the dressing room in a low-key manner under the regretful eyes of everyone, whether sincere or hypocritical, he found a young man with a decent appearance, a famous brand, and an arrogant demeanor sitting in his seat.
"You are the original actor of Killer Wuming?" The young man with his head bowed and playing with his mobile phone unceremoniously looked Tao Mu from head to toe, raised his eyebrows, and said aggressively: "I heard that you were a martial arts substitute before. The filming was really good. How about you being my stand-in? Money is not a problem."
Oh, it turns out that this master is the legendary "nephew of Xia Xing Entertainment's major shareholder".
Tao Mu glanced at "eldest nephew" and calmly refused: "I can't be your substitute."
"Why, look down on me? Are you still angry with me?" The eldest nephew sneered, threw the mobile phone on the dressing table, leaned back against the dressing chair, and raised his legs like a grandfather: "To tell you the truth, I actually don't I don't care what role I can play. I just play on a whim, and everything is arranged by the people below. So even if you are angry with me, you can't be angry. After all, this TV series is still invested by my uncle. Are you right? ?”
Tao Mu said nothing.
The "eldest nephew" continued: "You came out to hang out just for money. There is no need to argue with me. I have money and you have skills. I want to ask you to be a substitute. The price is up to you. "
"It's not about money." Tao Mu stood in the dressing room and looked at the young man sitting on the chair: "I don't think you are 175cm?"
Eldest nephew: "???"
Tao Mu continued: "I'm 182cm. Standing in front of the camera will only make me look taller than this. So I can't be your stand-in. In your case, the director will probably arrange for you a small martial stand-in. But don't worry, The martial arts team of the crew is Director Zhao's queen team, and everyone is great."
Eldest nephew: "..."
******
After changing his costume and taking off his makeup, Tao Mu left the furious "big nephew" behind his back, and calmly left the set - he was stopped by a car at the entrance of the film and television city.
The car door opened, revealing Ning Yuan's handsome face: "Get in the car?"
Tao Mu didn't move: "Is this necessary?"
Ning Yuan chuckled, even sitting in the RV, looking at Tao Mu was condescending: "You don't have to be so hostile to me. I admit, I really don't want you to stay on the set, of course my agent I also made some arrangements for this. I will not deny this. What I want to tell you is that Zhao Keping knew about my agent going to the big boss from the very beginning. With his position in the company, If you really want to protect you, even the big boss will give him this face. After all, Xia Xing has invested in a lot of TV dramas, even if he wants to please the big shareholders, there is no need to take away your role. What is strange is that Zhao Keping has nothing to do from the beginning to the end Did not say."
When Ning Yuan said this, he looked at Tao Mu curiously.I want to find some clues from Tao Mu's expression.However, Tao Mu was expressionless.
Ning Yuan sneered: "Do you know how Zhao Keping dealt with those female artists who just joined the company but didn't follow the arrangement?"
Tao Mu continued to have a fishy face.
Ning Yuan said: "I'm not trying to sow dissension. I just don't want to be used as a gun for nothing. As a person, even if I do bad things, I have to do it clearly. Zhao Keping is not suitable for you. With your personality, if you sign a contract with him, sooner or later you will die." Conflict. You don't want people like Zhao Keping to hold black history in your hands, do you?"
"What are you sowing discord?" Zhao Keping only said a few words to Zhao Xin, and immediately ran out in a hurry to find someone.But he didn't expect to be blocked by him to the scene where Ning Yuan sowed discord in front of Tao Mu.
"I'm telling the truth!" Ning Yuan sneered: "Who are you, Zhao Keping? Others don't know, and the artists of Xia Xing Entertainment don't know yet? Don't you just want to use the method of slapping a sweet date in the past to take advantage of Tao Mu? Is it? It's a pity that I don't think Tao Mu is someone you can control."
After Ning Yuan finished speaking, without waiting for others to respond, he closed the car door and signaled the driver to drive away.
Zhao Keping, who was going to argue, was sprayed with car exhaust, angrily wiped his face, and explained to Tao Mu: "Don't listen to this kind of villain sowing dissension. I failed to handle this matter well this time. Don't worry, I will definitely compensate you for a better audition opportunity. You must take what a villain like Ning Yuan said to you. He is just worried that I will persuade the company to support you after signing you, and then the resources will be allocated to you Tilt, you're bound to be redder than he-"
"No need." Tao Mu chuckled: "I said, I won't sign with any brokerage company before my junior year. The two of us have known each other these days, and I thought we had reached a consensus on this matter. "
Zhao Keping was taken aback when he heard the words.
Tao Mu continued: "Ning Yuan is right. The two of us are really not suitable."
Zhao Keping frowned and opened his mouth to explain.Tao Mu waved his hand and interrupted: "It's not that I have any doubts about Brother Zhao's methods. Managers and artists cooperate with each other and compete with each other. I understand this truth. I just simply feel that with my Personality, maybe you don’t need a manager who is too tough.” Especially after knowing his wishes, he still ignored his request and made small moves behind his back.
Tao Mu's thoughts became clearer, and he looked at Zhao Keping: "We are actually the same kind of people. It's a pity that like-minded people don't necessarily agree with each other." Compared with superb skills, Tao Mu is more inclined to obey.Otherwise, he should have agreed to Wen Shijin's solicitation in the first place.After all, Wen Hu, who is always smiling, is much better than Zhao Keping in the way of manipulating people.At least Wen Shijin would not be caught by so many people when he was training artists.
Of course, it may also be that Zhao Keping didn't take him seriously from the beginning to the end.I thought that by using power to overwhelm people and drawing a few big cakes, I could attract people's hearts.It's a pity that Tao Mu is not real, and he is not in the mood to get ahead and slap Shuangwen in the face.
He has a paranoid personality and is stubborn. Once he sets a goal, there is absolutely no turning back.Not to mention Zhao Keping's tricks will not change course.And Zhao Keping will never allow his artists to make their own decisions.So in the final analysis, this is the fundamental reason why he and Zhao Keping can't work together.
After bidding farewell to Zhao Keping, Tao Mu went back to the rental house in silence.Since Tao Mu finished filming in "Zi Xiao", Da Mao and Xiao Pang also quit the "Zi Xiao" crew.However, the two of them did not report to the scene again, mainly because the town of H at the end of July was too hot.The two people who eat melons feel that there is no need to embarrass themselves, so they play games in the Internet cafe downstairs every day.Occasionally, I will post a post on the post bar of H Film and Television City to brag, and receive young girls who come from outside with dreams of stardom.Help them solve problems such as renting certificates, and exchange contact information by the way.
In the evening, I was in Sister Ping’s small restaurant, blowing on the air conditioner while listening to the old group performers chatting about the mountains, collecting entertainment and gossip that can be used for entertainment after dinner, and enriching the big V.Because the two of them update news about the entertainment industry that netizens are most concerned about, in just half a month, their fans have exceeded [-].It really allowed the two of them to enjoy the "net celebrity" treatment.
When Tao Mu returned to the rental house, the room was quiet, and the change of clothes was thrown all over the floor. It can be seen that the two big V students did not clean up the room before going out.
Tao Mu picked up a rattan basket, threw all the clothes into the box, and put it in the corner of the bathroom.
In the hot summer season, the room was stuffy and there was no wind.The suffocated Tao Mu was covered in sweat, and took a shower in the bathroom by the way, the bruises and scratches all over his body were slightly painful under the stimulation of the hot water.
Tao Mu put medicine on himself, and other parts are fine, but the back is a little out of reach.And because of the need to hang wires in filming scenes, the back and inner thighs are often the hardest hit areas for abrasions and bruises.Tao Mu tried hard with his back to the mirror for a while, and suddenly he felt unexplainably angry, and threw the medicinal wine and the cotton ball soaked in Dieda wine on the ground.
The glass bottle of Dieda Medicinal Wine shattered at the sound, and the brown medicinal liquid splashed out along with the shattered glass shards. The soft cotton ball rolled silently on the concrete floor twice, and rolled directly into the corner.The brown part stained with medicinal wine was exposed in the air, and there were fine dust floating in the air under the sunlight.
Tao Mu sat on the head of the bed expressionlessly, staring at the corner with empty eyes.He found that the more sunlight, the more invisible or less noticeable dust particles are visible to the naked eye.
Weakness is not the original sin.Incompetence is.Anger is just anger at one's own incompetence.
Tao Mu breathed silently, and deeply reflected on the reason for his anger.Then he sat silently at the desk, turned on the computer, and continued to observe the stock market.
With the expansion of the economic crisis, since the second half of the year, foreign capital has been withdrawing from China frantically.The broader market plummeted from the original 6000 points to less than [-] points, and the entire stock market was bleak.However, even if the market is not good, there will still be a few stocks going against the current.Tao Mu, who has the memories of his previous life, is very fond of these stocks.All he needs to do is to put all his money into these few stocks, and then get out in time before the stocks fall.
During the lunch break, Qiao Miaowei, the second female lead who was forced in by the investor, carefully approached Tao Mu with a box of lunch: "I don't think you are very old, why are you so good at acting?"
Probably because the funder was exposed too early, and she is a salesperson selling donkey brand bags without any talent or background at all. Qiao Miaowei's position in the crew is very delicate.Those actresses with professional background despise Qiao Miaowei's background and career path, and don't like to talk to her.Actors like Ning Yuan cherish their feathers, and they are afraid of causing misunderstandings by investors, so they don't like to talk to her.Coupled with director Zhao Xinming's attitude of disliking her, the staff of the crew also communicated with Qiao Miaowei less.So much so that she is obviously the important second female lead in the play, but she is neglected and ignored when she is not filming.
Qiao Miaowei herself knew that she was from a bad background and was not popular. Except for the first few tentative contacts, she rarely went to hang out in front of the actors of the same crew to avoid embarrassing herself.This time I came to find Tao Mu, firstly because Tao Mu had just joined the group, and the coffee position was too small, so she probably wouldn't face her in person; secondly, because Tao Mu's acting skills were really great.Qiao Miaowei hopes to get some scriptures from Tao Mu, at least to help her cope with the shooting in front of her.
When Qiao Miaowei walked towards Tao Mu with the boxed lunch, she attracted the attention of many people in the crew.Hearing Qiao Miaowei's question, the group of people moved their ears and pretended to be listening.
Tao Mu can't always say that he was used to being suppressed by the film king in his previous life, and it accumulated over time and finally exploded.Since those ten years of polishing were missing, Tao Mu could only admit to himself with a cheeky face: "Probably because of his talent."
Qiao Miaowei: "..."
A sneer came from behind, and Shang Xianyue, who played the heroine in the play, said mercilessly, "I won't go back and look in the mirror."
"You—" Qiao Miaowei looked at Shang Xianyue angrily.
As Xia Xing Entertainment's leading actress, Shang Xianyue has had a great stardom in the past two years. Last year, the two dramas she received were ranked in the top three of the annual ratings list. At the beginning of this year, she just won the lead role in one of the TV dramas. After receiving the Golden Lily Award.At the time when the wind was blowing and the water was rising, the momentum was at its peak.
When Qiao Miaowei first joined the set, her benefactor had warned in every possible way that no one in the set could offend Shang Xianyue.Therefore, even if Qiao Miaowei was scolded on the face by Shang Xianyue, she didn't dare to speak back.The appearance of daring to be angry but daring to speak out and throwing a mouse, looks very pitiful.
It was the lunch break time, and the other actors and staff in the crew were sitting in twos and threes around the set, and they all saw this scene.However, everyone either turned a blind eye or watched the show with their arms folded. No one was willing to stand up and rescue Qiao Miaowei.
Tao Mu sighed in his heart, and said, "Teacher Shang is right."
"What did you say?" Qiao Miaowei turned her head sharply, looking at Tao Mu in disbelief, her expression was both angry and stern.She didn't expect Tao Mu to make trouble at this time.
Shang Xianyue looked over with a half-smile.
Tao Mu continued: "Miss Qiao's problem is that she can't make natural expressions and movements in front of the camera. This is also normal, after all, Miss Qiao is not from a major and has not undergone systematic training. When ordinary people face the camera, You will feel uncomfortable to some extent. So what you have to do now is to look in the mirror more when you go back. Rehearse your facial expressions and lines in front of the mirror. You can also ask an assistant to help you with the scene. When do you feel less awkward? What? It's time."
After a pause, Tao Mu added a few more words: "Of course, considering the problem of positioning, you'd better set up a few more cameras, practice and watch by yourself, and ponder over and over again. You can also find a few TV dramas and choose a few. Imitate your favorite character."
When Tao Mu said this, he glanced at Shang Xianyue again, and pointed out with a smile: "Mr. Shang won the Golden Lily Award in "Xiaoxiao Yuxie", in which the heroine's character design is similar to that of "The Legend of Heroes". There are some similarities. If Ms. Qiao is interested, she may as well try to figure it out. If she is lucky enough to get a few suggestions from Teacher Shang, at least this drama is more than enough."
Qingling is the second female number played by Qiao Miaowei in the play.The reason why Tao Mu said that was not to really ask Qiao Miaowei and Shang Xianyue to ask for advice on acting skills.Just to save Qiao Miaowei, he gave Shang Xianyue a hand.In order to avoid Shang Xianyue angering him.
Qiao Miaowei can naturally see that she is so long-sleeved and good at dancing.Immediately turned from anger to joy, and walked down the steps with a smile: "So that's what happened. I just said, why did Miss Shang ask me to look in the mirror? It's not too late, I'll go back to rehearse right now, you guys talk slowly. "
Qiao Miaowei held her respect stiffly, and immediately dragged her assistant away in a hurry.Shang Xianyue crossed her arms and looked at Qiao Miaowei's slightly embarrassed figure with cold eyes.He raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You are soft-hearted."
Tao Mu's eyebrows were relaxed: "I'm telling the truth. Mr. Shang's acting skills are superb, and his expressions and movements are very beautiful when filming, and he is full of emotions. You must be an expressionist, right?"
Shang Xianyue smiled.She found that Tao Mu was particularly good at defusing the wit in other people's speech.And the skill of flattering is level 10, and the skill of striking up a conversation is at least level 10.5.
"Don't call me Mr. Shang. Everyone is filming in the same crew, so you can just call me Sister Yue." As Shang Xianyue said, she simply sat down next to Tao Mu, and said with a gentle smile, "I heard that you were admitted to Beijing. Shadow? Why didn’t you go to Yanying?”
Generally speaking, Jing Ying produces actors, and Yan Ying produces stars.Shang Xianyue can tell just by looking at Tao Mu's face that if he is tested for Yan Ying, he will not be a first-line superstar in the future, but he will be able to act in a few idol dramas and become famous.If you're lucky, maybe there will be a "Tao Munian", just like her "Shang Xianyue Nian" last year.
But going to Beijing is not necessarily the case.As we all know, actors from Jingying generally follow the orthodox route, and most of the styles of filming and TV series have the main theme.That kind of drama basically doesn't think too much about appearance. An actor like Tao Mu who is too handsome and temperamental will make the director and producer suspicious-worried that Tao Mu's appearance will overwhelm the audience and suppress the plot.Unless Tao Mu's acting skills are so superb that people ignore his face.
Thinking of this, Shang Xianyue suddenly thought of the little disturbance that Tao Mu had caused when he took the makeup photo in the morning, and suddenly said, "It seems that you are very confident in yourself."
If Tao Mu can suppress his face with his acting skills, then choosing Jingying will undoubtedly contribute to his acting career.After all, with Jingying's authority and influence in China's entertainment industry, as long as Tao Mu can imprint Jingying's brand on himself and become a student that Jingying focuses on publicity, then the contacts he has accumulated in Jingying will undoubtedly become his career. Ascension background.
Shang Xianyue also thought of the gossip that several big brokers wanted to sign Tao Mu, but was rejected by Tao Mu on the grounds of abiding by school rules, and suddenly felt that she had seen Tao Mu's ambition.
It's ambition, but it's actually a gamble.After all, not all artists have the confidence to trade three years of obscurity for a chance to be favored by a big boss.In particular, during the three years, he had to constantly reject all kinds of temptations to become famous overnight and rise to the sky in one step.Shang Xianyue doesn't know how long Tao Mu can persist, but she firmly believes that if Tao Mu can really persevere and get Jingying's favor smoothly, then Tao Mu will definitely have a place in the future Huaxia entertainment circle.
Shang Xianyue thought to herself, and was shocked by Tao Mu's ambition.But he didn't know that Tao Mu's goal was not only to gain a place in the entertainment industry - he paid so much, but what he wanted was half of Huaxia's entertainment industry!
But these words are too early.Tao Mu lives in the present, and has to honestly make a match for everyone.This scene is a confrontation between the killer Wuming and the heroine. This is a fight scene mixed with literature. Tao Mu has a total of five lines, including punctuation marks, a total of ten words.
During the filming, because Shang Xianyue intended to make friends, the atmosphere between the two was very happy.Ning Yuan, who played the male lead, just watched coldly from the sidelines.He found that no matter how the camera lighting was adjusted, Tao Mu always had a way to find the most accurate and suitable position and angle. Even if the shots he took were not the most handsome, they were also the most textured.
Those tricks that have been tried and tested on idol actors seem to be useless on Tao Mu.And as Tao Mu continued to show his talents, the lighting and camera, which had made things difficult for him before, began to change his attitude - this can be seen from Tao Mu's more and more beautiful lighting and shooting angles in the lens .
I can't let it go any longer.
Ning Yuan knew it well, and he hinted that the crew members made things difficult for Tao Mu. From a certain point of view, it can also be seen as Ning Yuan's right to speak to the entire crew.
During the entire filming period, the director, as the uncrowned king of the studio, must have his own right to speak; investors and producers, as funders, must have their own right to speak; own right to speak.
This is also the reason why Ning Yuan repeatedly hinted that the lighting, camera, and makeup artist made things difficult for Tao Mu, and Zhao Xin and others knew it but didn't stop it.
But now, if Tao Mu can gain a firm foothold under Ning Yuan's many difficulties, although Tao Mu's own potential has been demonstrated, it will also slap Ning Yuan invisibly.At that time, Ning Yuan's influence on the crew will not be as good as before.What's more serious, it will even affect Ning Yuan's status in Xia Xing Entertainment.
Ning Yuan is arrogant, of course he cannot accept this situation.And the agent standing behind Ning Yuan didn't want to see Zhao Keping really sign Tao Mu, so as to ask for more resources in the company and get more voice.
In other words, Tao Mu's momentum in the crew of "The Legend of Heroes" must be curbed.
*****
Because the killer Wuming's weapon is a soft sword, an important factor for Zhao Xin to value Tao Mu is in the play part.In order to better shape the character, Tao Mu had to set aside more time in private to rehearse soft sword moves.Going to bed at two o'clock every day, starting at five o'clock is the norm.In addition to practicing swords, he did not forget to pay close attention to the stock market of country M on the other side of the ocean, as well as the changes in the international oil futures market.
Time is running out, but fortunately, the scenes of "Zi Xiao" are almost done.On the third day after Tao Mu entered the group "Legend of Heroes", his stand-in role in "Zi Xiao" was completely completed.
Although Tao Mu was just a military substitute, because Chen Yiqian was very optimistic about Tao Mu, he still held a small wrap-up banquet for Tao Mu.It was said to be a wrap-up banquet, but in fact, it was an extra meat dish added to the box lunch that day.During the period, Shen Yu also ran over and grabbed Tao Mu's hand to say goodbye, and kept telling Tao Mu to drag his phone number out of the blacklist, otherwise he would visit the crew of "The Legend of Heroes" every day.Tao Mu can't be bothered.
On the other hand, after leaving the crew of "Zi Xiao", Tao Mu also had more time to ponder the role of killer Wuming.Especially in the play part, in order to practice the moves of Green Snake Soft Sword more beautifully, Tao Mu also specially invited a teacher to teach him water sleeves-mainly because there are very few teachers who can teach the whip technique.Moreover, Tao Mu felt that using the original book's description of the killer's Wuming's moves, the flowing clouds and flowing water were feminine and ruthless, it seemed that some of the actions of the water sleeves were more suitable.As for temperament, Tao Mu felt that he could be tough.
No matter how much those people in the previous life criticized Tao Mu, one thing that cannot be denied is that Tao Mu is a person who can endure hardships.Especially on the point of "to achieve the goal", Tao Mu can be ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to himself.So every night filming lasted until one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, and I continued to get up at four o'clock the next morning to practice martial arts. I was struggling with bruises and bruises all over my body. In just seven days, I practiced all the movements to such an extent. The arm makes the finger.
People from the same crew witnessed how Tao Mu polished his martial arts moves from beautiful and blunt to stunning.Even if everyone didn't say it, they were all feeling in their hearts.A large number of martial artists, including Teacher Wu Zhi, were even more convinced by Tao Mu.Just when everyone felt that Tao Mu would definitely become famous overnight with the role of Killer Wuming, a piece of bad news came——
It was Director Zhao who told him personally that the role of Killer Wuming is not for him anymore.He was replaced by the son of a major shareholder of Xia Xing Entertainment, a rich second generation who wanted to show off and entered the entertainment industry to play tickets.
******
When Zhao Xin talked to Tao Mu, Tao Mu was in the middle of a scene with the leading actor Wu Ti.A big scene is going to be filmed tonight, which is the chase scene where the leading actor and the killer Wuming meet for the first time.Because of the need to hang on to Wia, the grand scene of the two fighting around Jinling City was also filmed in the studio. During the period, extras were required to play the role of the palace guards and city guards, holding torches in the streets and alleys to cooperate with the male lead in capturing Wuming—that’s right. This is still a night scene, and the combination of various factors made scene scheduling very difficult, so the crew dragged this scene to a later stage for filming.The purpose is to let Tao Mu integrate into the crew as soon as possible.
Facts have proved that Tao Mu's performance did not disappoint everyone.In just over ten days, Tao Mu has entered the state, whether it is literary or play, his performance is very delicate and amazing.
It is indeed a good seedling, but when the luck is not good.
Zhao Xin looked at Tao Mu in front of him and sighed slightly.The heart of stone that has been cultivated for many years in the industry rarely shows a few ripples of guilt: "... As you know, Xia Xing Entertainment is the largest investor and producer of this show. The person who will replace you is the major shareholder of Xia Xing Entertainment dear nephew..."
Zhao Xin hesitated to speak, and looked at Zhao Keping—in order to get rid of Tao Mu smoothly, Zhao Xin even called his old friends.The main reason is that I am really embarrassed to persuade Tao Mu to leave.After all, after Tao Mu joined the group, everyone saw the hard work he put in to play the role of Wuming well.
It's a pity that personal efforts, no matter how sincere and sweaty they are, can't be worth a word of capital.
Zhao Keping was also very guilty: "When the boss told me about this matter, I also strongly opposed it. But someone in the company reported that you were not a signed artist of Xia Xing Entertainment, and I privately found someone from outside to play the role of Wuming. Out of selfishness, I disregarded the interests of the company. Some people said that I was deliberately targeting Ning Yuan."
Ning Yuan is the hero of "The Legend of Heroes".It is also a very popular niche in the circle in the past two years who has squeezed from the third tier to the second tier, because he has filmed several popular idol dramas and costume dramas one after another, and it is on the rise.Tao Mu knew that Ning Yuan had been very hostile and wary of him since the day he joined the group.Probably because he was afraid that Tao Mu would buy the script after the TV series aired—after all, Tao Mu's performance in the crew is obvious to all, and Zhao Keping has always liked to engage in bundled marketing.
"Ningyuan's manager directly brought the matter to the big boss, leaving no room for me to maneuver. In addition, you are not a signed artist of Xia Xing Entertainment, and the company wants to make the big shareholders happy..." Zhao Keping emphasized Tao Mu again He looked embarrassed and guilty for not signing with Xia Xing Entertainment.
But Zhao Keping's reason is also very reasonable.This script was originally invested by Xia Xing Entertainment, and now the prince of Xia Xing Entertainment wants to play tickets, and has taken a fancy to Tao Mu's role, and Tao Mu is not an artist of the company, no matter from which point of view, Xia Xing Entertainment has no In order to fulfill Tao Mu's need to wrong himself.
Zhao Xin is actually more guilty than Zhao Keping.He originally insisted on using Tao Mu, because Tao Mu's performance really met his aesthetic and shooting requirements.However, the major shareholder of Xia Xing Entertainment is rich and powerful, and directly expressed his intention to invest in Zhao Xin to make a movie. Zhao Xin has been preparing for this original movie for more than two years, but he has not been able to find a reliable investor or distributor. It became a heart disease.Now someone jumped out to take the offer, it was impossible for Zhao Xin not to take the olive branch.
In the final analysis, the friendship between Zhao Xin and Tao Mu was not to the point of wronging himself to fulfill Tao Mu.
Both Zhao Xin and Zhao Keping thought that Tao Mu would definitely make trouble after hearing the news, and they were even prepared to be scolded.
Unexpectedly, Tao Mu didn't react at all after listening to the two people's words, and asked directly: "Then am I leaving the group today?"
Both Zhao Xin and Zhao Keping were stunned.
Zhao Xin looked at Tao Mu curiously: "Don't you blame us?"
"There's nothing to complain about." Tao Mu looked flat.Zhao Keping and Zhao Xin were worried that Tao Mu would not be able to bear this kind of grievance because he was too young.But I don't know that Tao Mu is not real.Even in the 18 years he was an orphan in his previous life, Tao Mu's life has never been smooth sailing.It is not once or twice that a good opportunity is clearly caught but replaced by others.
Since Zhao Xin and Zhao Keping were able to find him and tell him about this decision, it proved that there was no way to undo this matter, and it was not something that could be changed by his quarreling or pleading.So instead of wasting his energy crying and complaining, Tao Mu might as well withdraw quickly and gracefully.
Of course, there are issues that must be resolved before we can pull away.
"Although I don't know what happened in the middle, I don't think the crew will dismiss an actor who has signed a contract and performed well without reason." Tao Mu said here, smiling at the two of them comfortably , and in turn persuaded Zhao Xin: "I think you must have worked hard and weighed it. The final decision must be more conducive to the filming of the crew."
"It would be a lie to say that I am not disappointed or sad. But I can't cause trouble for everyone because of my own emotions. Besides, the crew will pay liquidated damages if they break the contract, so legally speaking, no one owes me anything. Although I just I haven’t joined the society yet after going to university, but the basic spirit of contract is still there.”
How can the world go as expected, since the situation cannot be changed, Tao Mu can only win the hearts of the people.Because sometimes, being able to win people's hearts means maximizing benefits.
Sure enough, after hearing Tao Mu's words, Zhao Xin was immediately moved.He almost revealed the whole deal between himself and Xia Xing Entertainment, but at the critical moment, reason overcame emotion.Even so, Zhao Xin could not hide his excitement and appreciatively patted Tao Mu on the shoulder: "Xiao Mu, you are such a good boy..."
Zhao Keping didn't expect Tao Mu's reaction to be so open-minded and beautiful.To be honest, he really doesn't look like a good boy.But when he thought of Tao Mu's life experience, Zhao Keping understood it.The children of the poor have long been in charge of the family.Although Tao Mu's performance did not meet Zhao Keping's expectations, Tao Mu's series of responses after knowing the incident were enough for Zhao Keping to see that the child had a high EQ.At least not one to be swayed by emotions.
Good looks, good acting skills, kung fu, emotional intelligence is also visible to the naked eye, if such a person cannot be signed, it will be a big loss for Xia Xing Entertainment and Zhao Keping.
Thinking of this, Zhao Keping became more and more distressed, and said sincerely: "Xiao Mu, thank you for understanding us so well. This time it was Brother Zhao's oversight. Don't worry, Brother Zhao will introduce you to other people." Audition opportunity."
Tao Mu smiled. Compared to this, Tao Mu cared about another thing: "To be honest, what does Director Zhao think of my play?"
Zhao Xin was still at the point of being moved by Tao Mu. Hearing this, he blurted out his heartfelt words without thinking: "It's very good. It can be called the first-class level in China."
Tao Mu's eyebrows stretched: "Isn't it much better than the one who replaced me?"
"It can't be compared at all—" Zhao Xin was terrified, immediately stopped talking, looked at Tao Mu, and asked in doubt: "What... what do you want to say?"
"Don't worry, Director Zhao, I won't make things difficult for you. It's just a deal." Tao Mu smiled shyly at Zhao Xin.
After coming out of the director's lounge, Tao Mu first went to the financial side to collect liquidated damages.The finances have been notified, and the money was given very happily.By the way, I also expressed a regretful attitude: "You are really good at acting. Even if you don't have this opportunity, you will definitely become popular in the future. Don't be discouraged."
Another person said in the tone of someone who has experienced it: "This society is like this. There are always people who go through the back door. You just remember that gold will shine sooner or later. When you become popular, such things will be rare."
Finally, in order to make the children happy, all the old aunts and young ladies from the finance department took out their new generation smartphones to take a photo with Tao Mu.The euphemistic name is to wait for Tao Muhong to get the online auction.
"At least it proves that we all know people with eyesight. We discovered the childhood of the emperor superstar."
"If you sign us again, maybe a photo can sell for more than 1 yuan."
How could someone spend 1 yuan to buy a group photo?
Tao Mu smiled, but thanked everyone for carefully protecting his emotions.I also took a group photo with everyone seriously and signed my name.
When Tao Mu walked out of the finance department, basically the entire crew knew the gossip about Tao Mu being kicked.Unlike the financial ladies who have no interests involved, the reactions of the actors of the crew were varied.There are those who really feel sorry for Tao Mu—basically they are all actresses, and some don’t care, and there are those who obviously gloat but come to Tao Mu to express their regrets hypocritically.
Tao Mu dealt with it one by one, without crying or resentment as everyone imagined.When he returned to the dressing room in a low-key manner under the regretful eyes of everyone, whether sincere or hypocritical, he found a young man with a decent appearance, a famous brand, and an arrogant demeanor sitting in his seat.
"You are the original actor of Killer Wuming?" The young man with his head bowed and playing with his mobile phone unceremoniously looked Tao Mu from head to toe, raised his eyebrows, and said aggressively: "I heard that you were a martial arts substitute before. The filming was really good. How about you being my stand-in? Money is not a problem."
Oh, it turns out that this master is the legendary "nephew of Xia Xing Entertainment's major shareholder".
Tao Mu glanced at "eldest nephew" and calmly refused: "I can't be your substitute."
"Why, look down on me? Are you still angry with me?" The eldest nephew sneered, threw the mobile phone on the dressing table, leaned back against the dressing chair, and raised his legs like a grandfather: "To tell you the truth, I actually don't I don't care what role I can play. I just play on a whim, and everything is arranged by the people below. So even if you are angry with me, you can't be angry. After all, this TV series is still invested by my uncle. Are you right? ?”
Tao Mu said nothing.
The "eldest nephew" continued: "You came out to hang out just for money. There is no need to argue with me. I have money and you have skills. I want to ask you to be a substitute. The price is up to you. "
"It's not about money." Tao Mu stood in the dressing room and looked at the young man sitting on the chair: "I don't think you are 175cm?"
Eldest nephew: "???"
Tao Mu continued: "I'm 182cm. Standing in front of the camera will only make me look taller than this. So I can't be your stand-in. In your case, the director will probably arrange for you a small martial stand-in. But don't worry, The martial arts team of the crew is Director Zhao's queen team, and everyone is great."
Eldest nephew: "..."
******
After changing his costume and taking off his makeup, Tao Mu left the furious "big nephew" behind his back, and calmly left the set - he was stopped by a car at the entrance of the film and television city.
The car door opened, revealing Ning Yuan's handsome face: "Get in the car?"
Tao Mu didn't move: "Is this necessary?"
Ning Yuan chuckled, even sitting in the RV, looking at Tao Mu was condescending: "You don't have to be so hostile to me. I admit, I really don't want you to stay on the set, of course my agent I also made some arrangements for this. I will not deny this. What I want to tell you is that Zhao Keping knew about my agent going to the big boss from the very beginning. With his position in the company, If you really want to protect you, even the big boss will give him this face. After all, Xia Xing has invested in a lot of TV dramas, even if he wants to please the big shareholders, there is no need to take away your role. What is strange is that Zhao Keping has nothing to do from the beginning to the end Did not say."
When Ning Yuan said this, he looked at Tao Mu curiously.I want to find some clues from Tao Mu's expression.However, Tao Mu was expressionless.
Ning Yuan sneered: "Do you know how Zhao Keping dealt with those female artists who just joined the company but didn't follow the arrangement?"
Tao Mu continued to have a fishy face.
Ning Yuan said: "I'm not trying to sow dissension. I just don't want to be used as a gun for nothing. As a person, even if I do bad things, I have to do it clearly. Zhao Keping is not suitable for you. With your personality, if you sign a contract with him, sooner or later you will die." Conflict. You don't want people like Zhao Keping to hold black history in your hands, do you?"
"What are you sowing discord?" Zhao Keping only said a few words to Zhao Xin, and immediately ran out in a hurry to find someone.But he didn't expect to be blocked by him to the scene where Ning Yuan sowed discord in front of Tao Mu.
"I'm telling the truth!" Ning Yuan sneered: "Who are you, Zhao Keping? Others don't know, and the artists of Xia Xing Entertainment don't know yet? Don't you just want to use the method of slapping a sweet date in the past to take advantage of Tao Mu? Is it? It's a pity that I don't think Tao Mu is someone you can control."
After Ning Yuan finished speaking, without waiting for others to respond, he closed the car door and signaled the driver to drive away.
Zhao Keping, who was going to argue, was sprayed with car exhaust, angrily wiped his face, and explained to Tao Mu: "Don't listen to this kind of villain sowing dissension. I failed to handle this matter well this time. Don't worry, I will definitely compensate you for a better audition opportunity. You must take what a villain like Ning Yuan said to you. He is just worried that I will persuade the company to support you after signing you, and then the resources will be allocated to you Tilt, you're bound to be redder than he-"
"No need." Tao Mu chuckled: "I said, I won't sign with any brokerage company before my junior year. The two of us have known each other these days, and I thought we had reached a consensus on this matter. "
Zhao Keping was taken aback when he heard the words.
Tao Mu continued: "Ning Yuan is right. The two of us are really not suitable."
Zhao Keping frowned and opened his mouth to explain.Tao Mu waved his hand and interrupted: "It's not that I have any doubts about Brother Zhao's methods. Managers and artists cooperate with each other and compete with each other. I understand this truth. I just simply feel that with my Personality, maybe you don’t need a manager who is too tough.” Especially after knowing his wishes, he still ignored his request and made small moves behind his back.
Tao Mu's thoughts became clearer, and he looked at Zhao Keping: "We are actually the same kind of people. It's a pity that like-minded people don't necessarily agree with each other." Compared with superb skills, Tao Mu is more inclined to obey.Otherwise, he should have agreed to Wen Shijin's solicitation in the first place.After all, Wen Hu, who is always smiling, is much better than Zhao Keping in the way of manipulating people.At least Wen Shijin would not be caught by so many people when he was training artists.
Of course, it may also be that Zhao Keping didn't take him seriously from the beginning to the end.I thought that by using power to overwhelm people and drawing a few big cakes, I could attract people's hearts.It's a pity that Tao Mu is not real, and he is not in the mood to get ahead and slap Shuangwen in the face.
He has a paranoid personality and is stubborn. Once he sets a goal, there is absolutely no turning back.Not to mention Zhao Keping's tricks will not change course.And Zhao Keping will never allow his artists to make their own decisions.So in the final analysis, this is the fundamental reason why he and Zhao Keping can't work together.
After bidding farewell to Zhao Keping, Tao Mu went back to the rental house in silence.Since Tao Mu finished filming in "Zi Xiao", Da Mao and Xiao Pang also quit the "Zi Xiao" crew.However, the two of them did not report to the scene again, mainly because the town of H at the end of July was too hot.The two people who eat melons feel that there is no need to embarrass themselves, so they play games in the Internet cafe downstairs every day.Occasionally, I will post a post on the post bar of H Film and Television City to brag, and receive young girls who come from outside with dreams of stardom.Help them solve problems such as renting certificates, and exchange contact information by the way.
In the evening, I was in Sister Ping’s small restaurant, blowing on the air conditioner while listening to the old group performers chatting about the mountains, collecting entertainment and gossip that can be used for entertainment after dinner, and enriching the big V.Because the two of them update news about the entertainment industry that netizens are most concerned about, in just half a month, their fans have exceeded [-].It really allowed the two of them to enjoy the "net celebrity" treatment.
When Tao Mu returned to the rental house, the room was quiet, and the change of clothes was thrown all over the floor. It can be seen that the two big V students did not clean up the room before going out.
Tao Mu picked up a rattan basket, threw all the clothes into the box, and put it in the corner of the bathroom.
In the hot summer season, the room was stuffy and there was no wind.The suffocated Tao Mu was covered in sweat, and took a shower in the bathroom by the way, the bruises and scratches all over his body were slightly painful under the stimulation of the hot water.
Tao Mu put medicine on himself, and other parts are fine, but the back is a little out of reach.And because of the need to hang wires in filming scenes, the back and inner thighs are often the hardest hit areas for abrasions and bruises.Tao Mu tried hard with his back to the mirror for a while, and suddenly he felt unexplainably angry, and threw the medicinal wine and the cotton ball soaked in Dieda wine on the ground.
The glass bottle of Dieda Medicinal Wine shattered at the sound, and the brown medicinal liquid splashed out along with the shattered glass shards. The soft cotton ball rolled silently on the concrete floor twice, and rolled directly into the corner.The brown part stained with medicinal wine was exposed in the air, and there were fine dust floating in the air under the sunlight.
Tao Mu sat on the head of the bed expressionlessly, staring at the corner with empty eyes.He found that the more sunlight, the more invisible or less noticeable dust particles are visible to the naked eye.
Weakness is not the original sin.Incompetence is.Anger is just anger at one's own incompetence.
Tao Mu breathed silently, and deeply reflected on the reason for his anger.Then he sat silently at the desk, turned on the computer, and continued to observe the stock market.
With the expansion of the economic crisis, since the second half of the year, foreign capital has been withdrawing from China frantically.The broader market plummeted from the original 6000 points to less than [-] points, and the entire stock market was bleak.However, even if the market is not good, there will still be a few stocks going against the current.Tao Mu, who has the memories of his previous life, is very fond of these stocks.All he needs to do is to put all his money into these few stocks, and then get out in time before the stocks fall.
