After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn

The tentative title of the military recruitment propaganda drama with Tao Mu as the protagonist is very simple and rude, and it is directly called "The King of Soldiers".After choosing the name, Tao Mu began to prepare for the audition.There are two scopes for the audition, one is for the entertainment circle, and the other is for the military art troupe.Tao Mu vaguely remembered that when he watched similar military dramas in his previous life, a large number of actors who performed brilliantly were selected from the art troupe.Although Tao Mu didn't remember the names and specific units of those actors, Tao Mu still remembered those faces.So during the audition, Tao Mu paid special attention to the photos, and if there were any familiar ones, he would choose them directly.

But what Tao Mu didn't expect was that after the news of the audition for "The King of Soldiers" spread, many students from Yan Ying and Shanghai Drama Academy came to audition.The latter is understandable, but isn't Yan Ying also preparing a drama about Qing history recently?Yan Ying's students did not go to audition for their own crew, but went to "The King of Soldiers" to audition.This made Tao Mu feel incredible.

What is even more surprising is that among the Yan Ying students who came to the audition, there was even Gu Yuzhang. In his previous life, after Yan Sheng left China and moved to country M, Yan Ying began to support Gu Yuzhang in his position after he launched an attack on Hollywood.And Gu Yuzhang lived up to expectations, and became a first-line star from a rookie in a few years.At the peak of its popularity, it even faintly surpassed Yan Sheng.It's a pity that he didn't have the aura of a male lead on him. When Yan Sheng returned to the domestic entertainment circle again to defend the box office myth, Gu Yuzhang's rising momentum was immediately suppressed.Later, his popularity plummeted because of his outspokenness and low EQ.

And Tao Mu was so impressed with Gu Yuzhang.It's because after Yan Sheng announced his marriage at the Oscars, he knew that his gay image might affect his development in front of the screen.So Yan Sheng began to turn behind the scenes.And Gu Yuzhang was the first artist Yan Sheng signed to his film and television company.Shen Yu also had jealousy with Yan Sheng several times because of this incident.It wasn't until the two officially announced their marriage that they turned their anger into joy.

After Gu Yuzhang performed according to the requirements of the crew, Tao Mu couldn't help asking curiously: "Why did you come to audition for "The King of Soldiers?"

"Because I am optimistic about Mr. Tao's production ability." Gu Yuzhang said frankly.

Tao Mu nodded, and asked again: "I mean, Yan Ying is also preparing for a TV series. As a student of Yan Ying, you didn't go to audition for your school's drama, but went to "The King of Soldiers" to audition. Can I ask why?"

"Yanying has a lot of senior brothers and sisters. And they are all well-known stars in the circle. I am just a freshman who has just entered school. There is not much more than me in the crew, and there is a lot less than me. The school also It is impossible to value a newcomer who has never acted before." Gu Yuzhang explained frankly: "But "The King of Soldiers" is different. I noticed the casting requirements of "The King of Soldiers". Besides Mr. Tao, there are many old actors who are the original cast members of "The Great Wall of Flesh". As for the recruit characters who joined the army at the same time as the male protagonist, most of them are vegans with no acting experience. I infer that Mr. Tao wanted to let the audience To increase the sense of substitution, I definitely want to choose some fresh faces to play roles."

Gu Yuzhang has never filmed before, but he feels that his acting talent is not bad.So I rushed to audition because I wanted to fight for a chance.

When Tao Mu heard Gu Yuzhang's words, he thought to himself that it's no wonder that this kid was hacked to the point of bruising in his previous life.This way of speaking is simply full of slots.But this kid's talent and acting skills are still good.Otherwise, she wouldn't have acted in her first play and become an instant hit in her previous life.

Tao Mu thought for a while, and then said: "If you succeed in the audition, you will have to follow the crew and enter the army to experience life for three months. After that, there will be nearly three months of closed shooting. In other words, a total of six months of shooting time, Can you take it?"

Gu Yuzhang nodded: "No problem. My family owns a boxing gym. I learned Sanda from my dad since I was a child. I can endure hardship."

From Gu Yuzhang's point of view, these actors' training in the army is at most the level of military training.Gu Yuzhang felt that the military training was not as hard as his usual boxing training!

Seeing that Gu Yuzhang was so sure, Tao Mu didn't ask any more questions.He waved his hand and said, "Go back and wait for the notice."

Also auditioning with Tao Mu were representatives sent by the military, the production team, and two teachers from Jingying.After Gu Yuzhang went out, Jingying's teacher said appreciatively, "He's a good seedling."

Another said with emotion: "It's just that his temper is too straightforward. His personality is not suitable for this circle."

"It would be better if I just became an actor, or acted in a drama." Unfortunately, none of the students who applied for Yan Ying's exams are probably going to act in a drama.

Tao Mu ticked Gu Yuzhang's resume, and said with a smile: "I have my own fate. If he meets a good management team and carefully packs up the character of an honest and ignorant old cadre, he may meet his personality." It's more fun."

As soon as these words fell, the other examiners sitting in the classroom were suddenly confused: What do you mean by being honest and ignorant of the personality of an old cadre?

Tao Mu smiled and said nothing, and continued to call the next one.

All auditions for "The King of Soldiers" took place for a week.More than half a month before the awards ceremony of the Ling Xiao Award, Tao Mu, who had already asked for leave from Jingying, took the screenwriter team of "The King of Soldiers" and all the actors who passed the audition to the army to experience life.

In order to facilitate the shooting, the troops stationed by the crew happened to be the permanent troops to be stationed in the future filming.The army had already greeted the soldiers before the crew entered, and directly announced that all members of the crew would train with everyone for three months, during which they would stay with the soldiers for basic necessities of life.When it comes to the official shooting, many soldiers will also be in the camera together.If there are individual soldiers who perform well, they may even become special actors.

People from the Military Propaganda Department specifically emphasized that this is a military recruitment propaganda drama.The troops are required to cooperate with the filming of the crew as much as possible.At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure that all training will never be released, and all actors are required to at least meet the standard and quality requirements of ordinary soldiers.And this one was also proposed by Tao Mu himself.He has always been either not to do it, or to do it with the best temper.

Moreover, this recruitment propaganda drama is also related to the reputation of Tao Mu Film and Television Company, and even related to the big resource that the military will cooperate with Beijing Film and Television a year later.Tao Mu is determined to win, and there is no room for loss.

But what Tao Mu didn't expect was that all the crew had a conflict with the soldiers on the first day they entered the army.

When the leader of the army came to find him, Tao Mu was in the meeting room, discussing the issue of material selection with the screenwriter team.Tao Mu had already produced the plot outline when he met with the military representatives.But the details still need to be filled in slowly.In order to more truly reflect the demeanor of the army, Tao Mu decided to let the screenwriter team go deep into the soldiers to collect materials.To put it more simply and crudely, it is to ask soldiers of different years of enlistment and officers at all levels, and ask them what these soldiers think "what is the most amazing thing about being a soldier".Then combined with Shuangwen's face-slapping routine, these things were added when writing the plot.

As a result, without saying a word, the army leader came over.He told Tao Mu with a face of embarrassment that the actors brought by the crew were fighting with the soldiers.When Tao Mu heard this, his first reaction was that the squeamish actors didn't obey orders and wanted to be special.The troop leader quickly explained.It turned out that after the actors of the crew were stationed in the army, according to the regulations, all of them had to be broken up and inserted into each class.It is almost as an auditor's qualification to train with soldiers in various classes.Because there are indicators, the assessment results of these actors will also be linked to the class results.

Most of the soldiers have never seen the filming of TV dramas, nor have they had contact with actors in the entertainment circle, so they all think it is quite new.Moreover, it is a task assigned from above, and it is also linked to next year's conscription propaganda, so they are quite willing to cooperate.But there are also a small group of soldiers who are not happy.I think these actors came here just for grandstanding.How can an actor bear the hard work of being a soldier.In case the training can't keep up, it will drag down the grades of the class.Most of the soldiers have a sense of collective honor, worried that their squad or even their company would be dragged down, so they couldn't help complaining a few words.

Under normal circumstances, those who can be actors, let alone acting skills, must have a little advantage in dealing with people.Otherwise, there is no way to survive in this circle where all kinds of words and deeds are magnified by the lens.But there are also newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers.For example, Gu Yuzhang.

He was very dissatisfied with the group of veterans who doubted that these actors would not be able to keep up with the training, and would definitely drag down the company's remarks.I even hate veterans saying that these actors are sensationalists, they are all soft bastards who come on stage, not real men (veteran: I didn't say that).

Then, Gu Yuzhang, who was young and energetic and refused to bow his head, challenged the veterans!Veterans are required to do various trainings with him.If he loses, he doesn't say anything, even if he is exhausted, he will grit his teeth and keep up with the training.And is responsible for washing dirty clothes for veterans.If he wins, the veteran must apologize to them.

This very dramatic challenge was immediately supported by both sides.But the key point is that the veteran Gu Yuzhang challenged was the soldier king selected by the company for three consecutive years.The army leader appreciated Gu Yuzhang's youthful vigor and courage, but of course he didn't believe that Gu Yuzhang could defeat the King of Soldiers.He was also worried that Gu Yuzhang would be exhausted during the challenge without systematic training, so he hurried to find Tao Mu, the director of the crew.Let Tao Mu stop Gu Yuzhang.He also expressed considerately that Gu Yuzhang is not a soldier, and there is no chance of winning a challenge with the soldier king, so there is no need to wash clothes for the soldier king.

Hearing these words, Tao Mu was speechless.The screenwriters of the screenwriting team were excited: "This is a good starting point for the plot. Who is this Gu Yuzhang? The young man knows how to add drama to himself!"

Tao Mu sighed, and hurriedly followed the army leader to the training ground.Regardless of whether he added drama or not, if he didn't rush over to stop Gu Yuzhang, it is estimated that that stupid boy could really toss himself to a half.

At that time, the news that the crew of "The King of Soldiers" abused actors and disabled them will really hit the entertainment headlines.How can they continue filming this military recruitment propaganda drama?

Tao Mu simply couldn't understand Gu Yuzhang's brain circuit!He dared to challenge the soldier king on the first day he entered the army, why didn't he go to the sky!
