The scene of Su Dingbang's ending was modified very lightly, but it took two days and one night to finalize the details.

In fact, this plot has always been quite controversial, including for many readers when they read the original novel. Some readers believe that Su Dingbang betrayed the story in the end, causing many underground party members to be caught and killed, and that he deserved to die at the hands of the male protagonist. However, some readers believe that although Su Dingbang betrayed, he still helped the protagonist a lot in the beginning. Even if he deserved to die in the end, he should not have died at the hands of the male protagonist.

This debate continued until the TV series was broadcast in the previous life, and professional film critics even wrote short essays on the matter. Fortunately, in the previous life, the actor who played the role of Su Dingbang was a burden forced in by the investors. Naturally, he is not as handsome as Tao Mu, and his acting skills are not even as good as Tao Mu's before. Compared with a group of veteran actors, he can only be said to be mediocre, barely not out of character. As for character creation, it's even worse - the villain is relatively paper-thin.

Because of this, the plot tension of the hero being shot in the head was relatively weakened.

However, in this life, Tao Mu plays this role. First of all, in terms of appearance, Tao Mu is absolutely worthy of the eight words described in the book as "the beauty of the rosy clouds, the rhyme of the moon, the clear wind and the bright moon". Secondly, Tao Mu's acting skills, which can be described as the explosion of a small universe, can definitely establish the complexity of the character of Su Dingbang. How noble and elegant he was in the early stage, and how filthy and insensitive he was in the later stage. Under such a strong contrast, it is easy to arouse the audience's sympathy and sense of substitution.

If the final ending is still a shot in the head by the male protagonist, then some of the original controversial points among readers will definitely be magnified tenfold or a hundredfold in the film and television drama.

Therefore, changing the plot to have Su Dingbang commit suicide by swallowing opium can not only make this character more three-dimensional and complete, but also highlight the brutality and dishonesty of the invaders - those who betray the enemy will not have a good end. This is not only because the people cannot forgive the betrayers, but also because the invaders are ambitious and inhumane - they are not of our kind, and they will never keep their promises to the enemy.

The death of the entire Su family proves this point.

War is cruel. But what is more cruel than war is the invader. So don't try to compromise, and don't think you can survive by just getting by. If the revolutionaries fail to hold on to the belief that they will die, their end will undoubtedly be even more miserable.

In that darkest era, many revolutionary martyrs held on to such beliefs, endured the grief of the country's destruction and the demise of their families, fought with their flesh and blood for more than a decade, and finally dyed the 9.6 million square kilometers of China's bright and clear land with countless blood.

In the revised plot, when the male protagonist led a small team of people to sneak into the enemy's trap to find Su Dingbang, when Su Dingbang had already determined that the male protagonist was here to kill him for revenge, the male protagonist only said one sentence. He said, "Upon learning that you were arrested, the organization tried to arrange for your family to evacuate safely." However, R himself acted faster than them. By the time they had managed to find out news about the Su family, the entire family had already been killed by R himself.

R himself confiscated all the Su family's property and even took his anger out on the entire Shanghai Chamber of Commerce. Almost half of the Chamber of Commerce members were arrested by R himself and thrown into jail, where they were exploited. When a country is in danger, even its sovereignty cannot be guaranteed, and the interests of the people are naturally even more precarious.

After Su Dingbang was forced to rebel, he was unable to face reality for a while. He did not dare to admit his cowardice and weakness, and could only vent his anger on the underground party and even on the revolutionary cause he had once fought for. He deceived himself into thinking that if he had not had this experience, he would still be the young master of the Su family, a respected and loved overseas student, rich and famous, and would never have become the half-human, half-ghost appearance he is now.

However, the protagonist's words completely shattered his fantasy. When the nest is destroyed, all the eggs will be broken. When the whole country is in tatters and the Chinese nation is in danger, even if some people can hide in the concessions and seem to be rich and prosperous, these comfortable situations are nothing but illusions.

Once the invaders decide to tear off their disguise and point their guns at the helpless civilians, everything that follows will be an unbearable disaster in life. The only way is to take up swords and guns to fight, drive all invaders out of the Chinese territory, and use gunfire to roar the Chinese nation. Let those brave heroes who sacrificed their lives for the establishment of New China, and those innocent people who died tragically at the hands of the invaders, rest in peace.

However, Su Dingbang couldn't do all this. He had been full of vigor and passion, and vowed to change the fate of the entire country with his own strength. He had also been naive and weak, and finally, when faced with the choice of sacrificing his life for justice, he fled.

The invaders brutally killed the entire Su family, but in order to survive, he pointed his gun at his comrades.

Su Dingbang, who had to numb himself by smoking opium all day, finally collapsed. He looked at the male protagonist with tears in his eyes and said the last words of his life: "I deserve to die." Then, Su Dingbang took out the opium that R had prepared for him and swallowed it raw to commit suicide.

When Tao Mu got the revised script again, he almost collapsed after reading the long descriptions on it.

The key is that the original author of the book and the screenwriter Fan who participated in the adaptation of the script could not understand his emotions at all. At the meeting, they dragged Tao Mu to talk nonstop for more than an hour, and their faces flushed with excitement, just to explain to him what level the script's intention had risen to after the adaptation.

I never expected how much trouble this adaptation of the script would bring to the actor Tao Mu.

"I can't eat for the next few days. I have to lose weight." Tao Mu's cold hasn't healed yet, and his fever hasn't subsided yet. He asked Gou Rixin to stop the IV drip: "Arrange it for me again. I want to observe the state of a real drug addict. It's best if he doesn't even sleep for a few days."

Noticing Gou Rixin's disapproving look, Tao Mu patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be nervous. It's only a few days, and you can handle it anyway."

"Just do what you want! Your fever hasn't gone down yet. You even dared to stop the drip. Aren't you afraid of developing pneumonia?" Gou Rixin said indignantly. However, the arm is not as strong as the thigh, and no one can stop Tao Mu from doing what he has decided to do.

In the end, Tao Mu secretly stayed in a drug rehabilitation center in H Town for three days. On the one hand, he had a high fever and on the other hand, he was so hungry that he felt dizzy and sore all over when he returned to the crew. I plan to finish filming the last scene while I'm in good shape.

During this time, Tao Mu also asked the props team to customize a set of costumes. It was the same outfit he was wearing when he was arrested. Make it two sizes larger than the original style - there is no other way, even if he starves for a few days and wants to become pale and skinny. The weight may not be reduced much. So he could only make the costume a little bigger, and then he could make up for it by changing his body movements. Trying to create the image of a drug addict.

Probably I didn't expect Tao Mu to be able to do this.

In the crew, a group of directors, deputy directors, veteran actors, even the students of Beijing Film Academy, as well as the extras and stuntmen hired by the crew were all frightened by Tao Mu's ruthless aura - Tao Mu was a man of great skill and deep scheming, and this was a fact known to everyone. But being cruel to others and being cruel to oneself are two different things.

Especially this kind of person who could obviously hold a high position and be a domineering president, but he had to torture himself to death for such a small cannon fodder role that is not even an important supporting role. Just because of this kind of violence, most people would be speechless upon seeing it.

How can this person be considered a normal person? He is clearly a madman!

Everyone is afraid of madmen, especially those who are rich and powerful and will do anything to achieve their goals.

What Tao Mu didn't expect was that it was because of his ruthlessness that the actors and staff, who had been distracted by some online verbal battles and so-called revelations, and who had been gossiping in secret, all stopped and started working. The atmosphere of the entire crew became solemn and brand new. Work efficiency and quality are improved again.

However, Tao Mu, who was already in a daze due to a high fever and was still thinking about completing his role, didn't pay attention to this at all. After he finished filming in a daze, he lay on the set with limp hands and feet, feeling dizzy and even nauseous when he moved his little finger. Then, when Li Xiaoheng, who had rushed over on a special plane, forced him back into the bed in the hotel room, he still had the leisure to ask Li Xiaoheng: "Why do you look so bad? Did you get it from me?"

After learning from his own private doctor that Tao Mu really just had a prolonged cold and fever, and also had various physiological symptoms caused by not eating for a few days, but there were actually no other complications, and he was not "sent to a drug rehabilitation center for drug use" as reported online, Li Xiaoheng, who was so scared that his whole body was stiff, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you so troublesome?" Li Xiaoheng bent his fingers and gently tapped Tao Mu's head: "You don't want injections, don't want to take antipyretics, don't want to eat, and even go to the drug rehabilitation center to observe the daily life of patients. How can you be so capable?"

"What do you mean?" Even though he was dizzy with fever and his brain was confused, Tao Mu still noticed very keenly: "...someone is doing something weird on the Internet?"

"Don't worry. I'll take care of it." Li Xiaoheng reached out and touched Tao Mu's hot forehead. She tucked the corner of the quilt for him and said, "What you need to do now is to drink this bowl of porridge, take the injection and medicine, sleep well, and get better as soon as possible."

Li Xiaoheng said as he helped Tao Mu sit up and lean against the bed, then picked up a bowl of porridge on the bedside table. "I asked the hotel to make it, so it may not taste good. Warm up your stomach first."

Tao Mu responded and stretched out his hand with a slight tremor. He wanted to take the bowl of porridge from Li Xiaoheng's hand. Li Xiaoheng frowned: "I'm worried that you'll knock over the bowl, so I'll feed you."

Tao Mu was slightly startled.

Li Xiaoheng said solemnly, "Either I feed you, or Gou Rixin feeds you. But I've already asked Gou Rixin to go back and rest. He's been taking care of you for so many days, and he's also been worried about things on the Internet, and he doesn't dare to let you know. He's been feeling very uncomfortable. You finally have a chance to rest, are you sure you want me to call him?"

Tao Mu thought about it and whispered, "It's troublesome."

"No trouble." Li Xiaoheng glanced at Tao Mu and said softly, "Although it may not be a good idea to say this. But in fact, I have been looking forward to this scene for a long time." I can feed you, sleep with you, and stay by your side to take care of you when you are sick.

While speaking, Tao Mu sneezed several times in succession. Even though he subconsciously covered his mouth, he still felt his snot flowing out, which was particularly embarrassing: "Give me some paper."

Li Xiaoheng stuffed the tissue paper to Tao Mu and watched Tao Mu pull out several pieces of paper in succession. In the end, his nose turned red and he leaned against the head of the bed dizzy. My hair is tangled because of sweating.

"Ah!" Li Xiaoheng suddenly covered his chest.

"What's wrong?" Tao Mu sniffed and asked in a mumbling tone.

"Remember what I told you before. I like you because your appearance is particularly aesthetic. Did I actually fall in love with you at first sight?" Li Xiaoheng looked at Tao Mu with a gentle smile: "Now I suddenly realize that even if you are not handsome anymore, your idol burden is gone, you can't take a shower because of illness, your hair is tangled, and your body is smelly. I still think you are very cute."

Li Xiaoheng scooped a spoonful of porridge and handed it to Tao Mu's lips: "I really want to feed you. Make you fat."

Tao Mu couldn't stand it anymore. He reached out and slapped Li Xiaoheng's arm away, and said with a stern face, "I want to take a shower."

Li Xiaoheng smiled: "You are still sick. Taking a bath will make your cold worse."

"Let it get worse." Tao Mu said unhappily. It was fine when he was filming, but outside of filming, he had to pick up his idol baggage. Dare to say that he is ugly, his hair is tangled, and even dare to say that he smells bad.

If he can still endure it, is he still an idol? He must defend his dignity!

Tao Mu was making a lot of noise, but he was still lying limp on the bed. He lifted the quilt and was about to take a shower. Li Xiaoheng couldn't stop him no matter what he did. He was annoyed with himself for being rude and could only help Tao Mu to the bathroom. I personally helped Tao Mu wash his hair, take a shower, change into pajamas, and blow dry his hair before carefully putting him back into bed.

At that time, Tao Mu was so sleepy that he fell asleep. In recent days, he has been filming and has not been sleeping well, eating well, taking injections properly, and has been exhausted. If I hadn't forced myself to finish the scene with one breath, I would have collapsed long ago.

Li Xiaoheng had no way out when faced with such a troublesome guy. While flying over to take care of Tao Mu, he asked his lawyer to sue the unscrupulous media that broke the news that Tao Mu was taken to a drug rehabilitation center. By the way, we also have to sue Shen Yu's fans who have been spreading this fake news and trying to discredit Tao Mu. Then he comforted the ceramics who had been fighting on the front line but never got a response from Tao Mu. Tao Mu was busy filming recently and didn't even have a meal. He was almost out of the internet, electricity and air. How could he have the time to pay attention to the rumors and gossips on the Internet?

However, Tao Mu himself did not take it to heart, but those around him could not allow someone to deliberately discredit Tao Mu. Sue if necessary. However, what made Li Xiaoheng speechless was that Shen Yu actually called him personally to apologize for those idiots. He didn't even follow the rules to apologize, he was crying and talking about being kind or not. Li Xiaoheng was a real president who made tens of millions of dollars every minute, so how could he have the time to discuss the script of a melodramatic idol drama with a small actor? He just hung up the phone.

He then turned around and started to target Shen Group’s stocks. Sure enough, when Shen Yu called to apologize again, he spoke like a normal person - usually children are naughty because their parents did not educate them well. Li Xiaoheng particularly respects the idea of ​​teaching by example. So it’s okay that there is a generation gap between him and Shen Yu, as long as he can communicate normally with his father and brother.

Tao Mu, who was sleeping soundly, didn't know that Li Xiaoheng had already had a secret confrontation with the Shen family. He slept soundly for a whole day and night, and woke up hungry in the evening of the next day. Li Xiaoheng helped him to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, and then he sat at the dining table and drank a small bowl of porridge.

I wanted to lick the bottom of the basin clean, only then would I feel completely alive again. Then he started to have the leisure to pay attention to what was happening online. This attention was surprising. I saw the bright headline on the front page of Feixun.com:

"An actor named S was hospitalized due to a coercion accident. The doctor determined that he was not a biological member of the family. Was Mrs. S having an affair, or was there another hidden story? Feixun Entertainment, follow up report."

Tao Mu: "???" He just took a nap, what happened!
