When Long Tianao and Luo Xi arrived at the crew of "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood", Tao Mu was acting opposite Zhang Mengcheng, who played the second male lead. The main plot is that Su Dingbang, played by Tao Mu, encounters the second male lead who is being hunted by the R countrymen on his way to a cocktail party. Although he didn't know the true identity of the second male lead, Su Dingbang intuitively believed that the Chinese people being hunted by the R people must be good people. So he tried every possible means to rescue the second male lead.

It's a fairly simple scene. But for some reason, Zhang Mengcheng, who played the second male lead, didn't seem to be in good condition. He NGed a line more than ten times, which made everyone a little impatient.

The director had no choice but to let everyone take a break.

Gou Rixin, who had been keeping a close eye on the filming site, immediately picked up a thick military coat and put it on Tao Mu. Li Xiaoheng handed Tao Mu a thermos cup of chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea. Asked: "Are you cold?"

Tao Mu sniffed: "It's okay." As an idol, even in the winter, he wouldn't shiver to keep warm without wearing cotton pants. What's more, he was wearing a military coat.

Having said that, Tao Mu still strode to his own lounge chair after the show. Gou Rixin moved the electric heater in front of Tao Mu and plugged it in. Tao Mu immediately reached out his hand to keep warm. The long legs without cotton pants also stretched out secretly.

Gou Rixin took out a bag of buns from the side, put it on the electric heater, and asked Tao Mu: "What kind of filling do you like to eat?"

Tao Mu: "Just bake me two steamed buns with red bean paste filling."

Wen Bao, Du Kang and Chu Suian came over with a smile, rubbing their hands and asked, "Brother Gou, what kind of buns did you buy?"

Chu Suian asked, "Do you have mushrooms with vegetarian filling?"

"Yes!" When Gou Rixin bought buns, he took everyone's taste into consideration and bought several kinds of fillings. For example, Tao Mu likes to eat red bean paste buns and custard buns, Wen Baodu Kang likes to eat beef stuffed buns, and Chu Suian likes to eat vegetarian stuffed buns. Just put them all on the electric heater to heat them up, and eat the buns while roasting the fire, it is very comfortable.

Long Tianao and Luo Xi came over at this time. As soon as they entered the crew, they saw from afar the usually very fashionable Tao Mu, wearing a military coat, squatting in front of the electric heater, reading the script and rehearsing the lines while eating buns in small bites, and occasionally drinking a few sips of water from the thermos. That scene was simply eye-catching.

Long Tianao and Miss Luo, who had never seen the world, were shocked.

"Tao Mu?" The two of them didn't dare to confirm until they walked up to Tao Mu that the guy squatting and eating buns in a military coat was indeed the partner with a serious idol burden in their impression.

"How did you become like this?" Long Tianao took off his sunglasses in disbelief: "Where is your idol burden? Are you still the Tao Mu I know?"

"Get lost!" Tao Mu glared at Long Tianao unhappily: "Why are you running here in the middle of winter instead of spending the New Year at home?"

"I came to visit you!" Long Tianao walked around Tao Mu and said in amazement: "Luckily I came here. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to see this Western scene!"

"You are the one who is in a foreign scene!" Tao Mu sat back in his chair with a burden: "Tell me, what are you doing here?"

Miss Luo smiled slightly, and glanced at the eldest son of the Li family who was standing beside Tao Mu, carrying water and bags, and smiled softly: "I just came to see you. By the way, let's discuss the continued cooperation."

There are many people on the crew and Luo Xi doesn't plan to say too much. Obviously, Tao Mu had no intention of discussing the company's future plans with the crew. What's more, the shooting atmosphere was tense and everyone had to recite their lines even while eating buns. This kind of environment was not suitable for casual chatting.

Although Tao Mu is an investor who brought money into the group, and he only plays a minor supporting role with less than three episodes, his work attitude is as serious as the male lead. He had memorized the script before joining the crew. During the rehearsal, he not only memorized his own lines, but also knew his opponent's lines by heart. When I was acting with Mr. Zhan, who played the male lead, I received a lot of praise from Zhan Bin.

I have to say, with Tao Mu setting the tone, the whole crew now has a strong atmosphere of acting. Not to mention the veteran actors headed by Teacher Zhan, even the students of Beijing Film Academy followed suit and memorized their lines every day when they had nothing to do. Try to get it right in two or three takes when shooting. Zhang Mengcheng NGed more than ten times in one scene. If it was in other crews, it might not be a big deal, but in the current crew of "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood", he himself was blushing without anyone saying much.

Especially since the big boss came to visit the set at this critical moment. Now Zhang Mengcheng not only blushed, but also started to panic. Originally, he wanted to come over and act with Tao Mu to get a feel for it, but now he was standing three meters away, holding the script and wandering around.

In the end, Tao Mu was sharp-eyed and called people over.

Zhang Mengcheng greeted his boss very carefully. Seeing this, Tao Mu simply drove Long Tianao and Luo Xi away and asked them to go somewhere else.

Zhang Mengcheng then breathed a sigh of relief and sat next to Tao Mu. In the past few days since joining the group, because Tao Mu has always been very professional, Zhang Mengcheng almost forgot that Tao Mu is a domineering boss. Now that he saw his big boss, he remembered that Tao Mu was the one who kicked the investor out of the crew over a disagreement. Thinking about it this way, he dared to NG more than a dozen times when acting with the domineering CEO, causing Tao Mu to be unable to finish work early. He was simply courting death.

I just don't know if Tao Mu will ban him directly in a fit of anger.

Tao Mu obviously didn't know that Zhang Mengcheng's inner drama was so rich. But he did have some opinions about Zhang Mengcheng. The reason why they kept having NGs in this scene was because Zhang Mengcheng didn't memorize his lines well. As a result, when the two of them were acting together, Zhang Mengcheng's lines sounded dry and he kept forgetting them.

Tao Mu knew that Zhang Mengcheng, as a contracted artist of Longteng Entertainment, usually had many announcements. Occasionally I have to take leave to run announcements. For example, Zhang Mengcheng had no scenes yesterday, so he went to the neighboring province to record a program under the arrangement of his agent, and drove directly back to the crew the next morning. He didn't read the script or memorize the lines, and he got into the sedan chair and pierced his ears right away. Of course, he was not in good condition.

In the previous life, the crew of "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood" was short of funds for filming, and the director did not have much control over the actors in the crew. Zhang Mengcheng was the second male lead forced in by the investor, so Zhou Hong would not bother him too much as long as he did not go too far during the filming. Besides, Zhang Mengcheng is quite thoughtful. Although he will run around for promotions occasionally, he tries to schedule them during times when he has no filming and will not take leave casually. His usual performance is also remarkable.

But even so, there is a natural difference between fully committing to filming and being half-hearted. This resulted in the second male lead played by Zhang Mengcheng being obviously much weaker than the other main actors after the TV series was broadcast in the previous life. Although Zhang Mengcheng also became an instant hit with this role and became a young actor promoted by Longteng Entertainment. But even ten years later, when someone was reviewing the TV series, they still mentioned Zhang Mengcheng's unprofessional behavior of constantly running around during filming and being crushed by veteran actors. This experience has become his dark history. Some people even firmly believe that if Zhang Mengcheng had been more attentive during the filming, "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood", which has already become a classic, would definitely have reached a higher level of completion. After all, the second male lead played by Zhang Mengcheng plays a very important role in the play.

After living a new life, Tao Mu accidentally became an investor in "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood". Under his operation, the filming funds were directly increased from the tight 9 million in the previous life to 16 million. All the unqualified actors that were stuffed in by the previous investor were replaced again. Those who remain are naturally those who he thinks fit the character's image. Tao Mu hopes that the new "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood" will be better than the previous life in terms of shooting details and other aspects.

Although Zhang Mengcheng fits the character image very well. But if he still maintains this state and cannot devote himself to the role, Tao Mu does not want to indulge in this neglect.

"Can you talk to your agent and let's put all our energy into the filming. I think this drama is really good and it will definitely be a hit when it airs. This is also an opportunity for you. As for those miscellaneous variety show notices, you can actually take them anytime. You are still young, and having a work that you can show off is more useful than appearing on a dozen variety shows."

Although Tao Mu is only nineteen years old this year, and his mature and dignified manner of speaking is particularly cute, Zhang Mengcheng dare not laugh. He was startled, knowing that Tao Mu was not satisfied with his condition, and quickly nodded and said, "I will talk to my agent later. I will definitely stay in the crew and shoot well before the filming is finished. This kind of thing will not happen again."

Tao Mu patted Zhang Mengcheng on the shoulder: "Everyone is here to make the show a good one. Don't be too nervous. At worst, just tell your agent and say that I asked you to do it. I'll keep you in the crew for filming. After the filming is finished, if you want to take any notice, just tell me directly. I'll communicate with Mr. Luo."

Tao Mu would never hesitate to use Longteng Entertainment's resources to do himself a favor. He also believed that Luo Xi would never offend him over such a trivial matter. After all, the benefits he can bring to Longteng Entertainment are definitely more than just a few small profits. Besides, judging from the trajectory of the previous life, Longteng Entertainment would have promoted Zhang Mengcheng after the broadcast of "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood". He said these words only as a favor that cost nothing.

But from Zhang Mengcheng's perspective, this was definitely a pleasant surprise. The filming atmosphere of the crew is different now. If Zhang Mengcheng wants to complete the filming smoothly and perform well, he should consider putting more energy into the filming. Otherwise, once the TV series is aired, even the minor supporting characters who only have a few episodes on screen will perform better than him. How can he still save face?

However, Zhang Mengcheng was having trouble communicating with his agent. Tao Mu said this and took the responsibility directly.

Zhang Mengcheng believed that his agent would not object to this request even if it was because of Tao Mu's relationship with the company's top management. What's more, Tao Mu also promised that after the filming was completed, the company would allocate some resources to him.

Just from the fact that Luo Xi was willing to go to H Town to visit Tao Mu in the first month of the lunar year, Zhang Mengcheng would not doubt whether Tao Mu's promise could be fulfilled.

Tao Mu looked at Zhang Mengcheng, who was so excited that his face showed his joy, and curled the corners of his mouth indifferently. Although he put direct pressure on Zhang Mengcheng in the name of an investor, Zhang Mengcheng probably would not object. But Tao Mu has always been used to giving a sweet reward after a slap in the face. It is always better to make people work willingly than to harbor resentment and engage in passive resistance.

Twenty minutes later, the crew continued filming. This time, Zhang Mengcheng, who had adjusted his mood, was possessed by the spirit of acting and passed the performance in one take. The next few scenes are also particularly exciting. There is a particularly important part in the plot, when the second male lead played by Zhang Mengcheng tries to develop Su Dingbang as his subordinate, he gives a monologue about family, country and the world. Zhang Mengcheng's expression is full of emotions and impassioned, and the long passage of lines has ups and downs, which makes people's blood boil even when they hear it through live recording. When the director shouted "cut", everyone couldn't help but applaud Zhang Mengcheng.

In the previous life, this plot was only performed quite normally because Zhang Mengcheng was constantly distracted, and it obviously did not have such a strong appeal.

Tao Mu was quite satisfied with this change. He likes this kind of filming atmosphere where all crew members act together. I also enjoy filming my own movies.

Because the shoot went smoothly. The director suddenly decided to move the street fighting and explosion scene that was scheduled to be shot in the afternoon to the morning. All the prop masters and pyrotechnicians began to set up the set. Check the explosion point and movement time again and again.

This scene is about the second male lead being chased by the R countrymen. The second male lead was discovered by the R countrymen when he was evacuating after completing the mission and was injured after a gun battle. Because there were explosion scenes, everyone checked very strictly.

Long Tianao and Luo Xi stood aside and watched everyone filming. During this time, Luo Xi tried every means to strike up a conversation with Li Xiaoheng: "I didn't expect filming to be so hard. It seems that Mr. Tao really likes filming."

Long Tianao thought about the first time he met Tao Mu, when Tao Mu was still an unknown martial arts stand-in in H Town. He was casually asked to replace the role, and couldn't help but sigh: "Isn't it. But Tao Mu has a hard time too. When he was filming in H Town, many people bullied him because he had no backing and no background, and what he did was so unethical. Fortunately, Tao Mu has the ability to bring money into the group and become an investor himself. He is no longer afraid of being kicked out by others."

Why are you bringing up things that are not related to the topic?

Luo Xi glared at Long Tianao secretly. Li Xiaoheng smiled slightly and looked at Tao Mu on the set.

Seeing this, Luo Xi suddenly smiled and said, "I remember that Mr. Li has never been interested in the entertainment industry. Why did you suddenly think of investing in a film crew?"

Li Xiaoheng's eyes were always on Tao Mu. He really liked watching Tao Mu's high-spirited and focused look when he was acting. "Tao Mu asked me to invest, so I invested. I believe in his vision."

Luo Xi curled her lips and agreed, "That's right. Mr. Tao's investment vision is really great. It's an honor for all of us to be able to cooperate with someone like Mr. Tao. By the way, we, Longteng Entertainment and Xiaxing Entertainment, want to cooperate with Feixun.com again to host a talent show "National Goddess and Goddess". I wonder if Xiaoheng Capital is willing to invest?"

Before Li Xiaoheng could say anything, a loud noise suddenly sounded in front of the set, followed by a commotion.

"The explosion point suddenly exploded!"

"There are people injured!"

"Quick! Call 120. Someone was injured in the explosion..."

Zhang Mengcheng stood there with a look of fear on his face. It was just a little bit off. If it had been a formal filming, the one who would have been injured would not be the stuntman who was moving for him, but himself.

Tao Mu, who was in the center of the riot, watched the wounded being rescued from the explosion site by the extras. He clenched his fists and his face turned pale: "Call the police! Call 120!"

Director Zhou Hong and the other crew members quickly gathered around him. When they heard Tao Mu's words, their faces changed and they repeated subconsciously, "Call the police?"

The assistant director in charge of the fireworks group came over quickly and whispered, "Just call 120. If we call the police, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the media."

Then it can't be suppressed.

"We must call the police." Tao Mu said firmly. He remembered that there had been no explosion accident on the set of "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood" in his previous life. There's no reason why something would go wrong if it were him in this life. Unless someone is deliberately causing trouble——

It's no wonder Tao Mu has conspiracy theories. Family members know their own business. In both his past and present lives, Tao Mu's luck was not good. Part of this bad luck is due to the cannon fodder aura, but more often it is man-made.

If this accident was God's will, then he was unlucky. But if it was man-made... Tao Mu clenched his fists calmly. He will grant the death of anyone who wants to die!

Li Xiaoheng stood silently beside Tao Mu, quietly held Tao Mu's clenched fists, and pried his hands apart. Looking at the bloody palm scratched by nails, he frowned fiercely.
