After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn

Growing up in an orphanage since he was a child, Tao Mu, who had suffered so much, never thought that his life was actually a result of picking up the wrong script.

Eighteen years ago, two ch...

Chapter 173

In order to catch up with the schedule, Director Xu shot from morning to night until everyone's scenes were finished. Finally, we had to film Shen Yu’s scenes.

Yan Yu was patrolling the streets with his colleagues, and saw a news report on the LCD TV in the shopping mall about a gang fight in Causeway Bay. Yan Yu accidentally saw the camera sweep over Aze's body. I was stunned for a moment.

He still remembered that this gangster was detained in the police station because of a gunfight with others and was not released until noon today. However, within just a few hours, this henchman was found dead in an alley in Causeway Bay. Aze and Zhou Yuanting left together. Aze is dead, so what about Zhou Yuanting?

Yan Yu watched the news and realized for the first time that Zhou Yuanting's situation was not as simple as he had imagined. Apart from gunfights, watching the scene and picking up girls, it can really kill people.

This scene is meant to showcase Yan Yu’s empathy and his shock at realizing that life can really be lost so easily. It reflects Yan Yu's concern and worry for Zhou Yuanting, and sets the stage for the plot in which Yan Yu feels guilty after learning the truth that Zhou Yuanting is involved in gangs, and finally resolutely dies in place of Zhou Yuanting.

It can be said that this period was an important turning point in Yan Yu’s psychological change. If the actor has very delicate and superb acting skills, he can handle it very well with just one expression or one look.

For example, when filming at noon, Zhou Yuanting gave Aze that look. This is the charm of an actor. Many things do not require the burden of words, but can be well conveyed to the audience with just a look or a gesture.

But with Shen Yu's current acting skills...even if he was shocked, there was no need to be so exaggerated as to widen his eyes, open his mouth and keep inhaling, and almost cry, right? Yan Yu is a policeman, not an idol drama heroine who has never seen the world!

Director Xu, who was sitting in front of the monitor, shook his head expressionlessly. He was too lazy to pay attention to this useless guy who had no talent and didn't work hard enough. He just shouted "pass" and told everyone to go home.

The dejected and listless cameraman, lighting technicians, and prop masters were ready to do a hundred or eighty NGs. But I didn't expect Director Xu to pass it in one take - in that shot just now, anyone with eyes could see what kind of character Shen Yu was playing. Director Xu, who always has high standards and strict requirements, actually passed it in one go?

Can't it? Was I hallucinating?

The cameramen looked at each other in bewilderment. Even the lighting technician holding the light board was stunned.

"What are you all standing there for? It's time to call it a day!" Director Xu stood up from his director's chair impatiently and told everyone to call it a day.

Even Shen Yu himself felt that something was wrong. He asked anxiously: "Director Xu, but I don't think I performed well just now——"

"You also know that you didn't perform well?" Xu Musen snorted coldly and interrupted Shen Yu unceremoniously: "You, like Tao Mu, have been in the police academy for several months, right? How should the police perform when facing emergencies? You should have seen your instructors if you haven't seen others. Can you learn to run like a pig without eating pork? What did you just act out?"

Shen Yu didn't expect Director Xu to be so mean, and immediately burst into tears: "I'm sorry, I know my poor acting skills have dragged everyone down--"

"Is this a problem of poor acting?" Director Xu had been sitting in front of the monitor for a whole day filming and his butt was numb. Seeing Shen Yu's tears, he suddenly became angry: "Are you putting your heart into it? Everyone has been filming for a day, and you have been standing there doing nothing. If you are serious, at least think about how you want to film it?"

"But I understand. You are the son of the Shen family. So what if your acting is not good? You don't rely on acting to support your family anyway. Just act casually. You have fun."

It's a pity that you are having fun, but we don't have the energy to play with you. Director Xu sneered and asked loudly, "What are you still standing there for? Call it a day and go home!"

Director Xu angrily criticized Shen Yu's words, which were exactly what the crew members wanted to say but did not dare to say after hearing Shen Yan's words. Now that Director Xu had said it in front of everyone, even the people who were listening felt proud.

The entire crew responded with laughter, and even the action of finishing work became joyful.

Only Shen Yu stood there awkwardly, crying out of grievance.

Liang Qiusheng, his son Liang Shuwen, and a group of brothers came out of the teahouse. They accidentally saw Shen Yu crying very hard across the street. He had some impression of her: "Isn't that the son of the Shen family you bumped into? What happened?"

"It seems like I was scolded by the director for not acting well." Liang Shuwen replied.

After filming the gang negotiation scene, the Liang family father and son wanted to treat Tao Mu to a meal. I simply stayed in the teahouse and waited for Tao Mu to remove his makeup and change his clothes.

Tao Mu was covered in blood plasma and sweat for filming. The whole person smells fishy and smells bad. I took a shower in the bathroom for more than half an hour. When I changed my clothes and came out of the dressing room, I saw that the entire crew had started to finish work.

Suddenly I felt a little confused. I casually pulled over a script supervisor to ask about it, and found out that Director Xu couldn't help but lose his temper again.

Tao Mu didn't want to comment on anything related to Shen Yu. Walking up to Liang Qiusheng and his son, he smiled softly and said, "I called Mr. Li. He said he's free tonight. I wonder where we should go to eat."

Liang Qiusheng immediately smiled and said, "I have already booked a place. It is my honor that President Tao and President Li are willing to come."

"Mr. Liang, please don't say that." Tao Mu said politely, "The Hospital Authority and the media are all thanks to Mr. Liang for his help. Otherwise, Feixun.com would be in trouble."

"Mr. Tao, you are too polite. Even if I hadn't taken action, with Feixun.com's status and influence, we wouldn't have any trouble facing such accusations. After all, the news media has the right to report the truth to the public." Liang Qiu Sheng also behaved very humbly. Because he knew that this favor was actually a favor that came naturally.

Because they all know that this complaint cannot shake Feixun.com's position in the news media industry. If the matter really gets out of hand, the worst that can happen is an apology in the newspaper. It doesn't matter anyway, and many Hong Kong newspapers do this.

However, Liang Qiu Sheng inferred that with Tao Mu's personality and temper, he would not apologize even if he was really facing accusations. After all, Feixun.com paid doctors and nurses to reveal the information voluntarily, rather than sneaking into doctors' offices to take photos and steal.

So the Liang family father and son really didn’t take this matter to heart. Of course, there is no intention of repaying a favor. However, it is still very cost-effective to use this incident to show goodwill to Tao Mu, or even to make friends with Li Xiaoheng.

Knowing that Tao Mu likes to eat in tea restaurants, Liang Qiu Sheng booked the most famous teahouse in Xiangcheng. Antique decoration style. It was dinner time and the hall was very lively. Liang Qiu Sheng booked a private room on the second floor, which was decorated very elegantly. There was also a musician playing the guzheng nearby.

When the three of them arrived, Li Xiaoheng had not arrived yet.

Liang Qiu Sheng deduced that Tao Mu must be hungry after filming for a whole day. I ordered a few trays of snacks first. Among them is Tao Mu's favorite shrimp dumplings.

Tao Mu was not polite either, he ate five drawers by himself. I just feel like I can never get tired of eating it.

By the time Tao Mu finished eating five drawers of shrimp dumplings, Li Xiaoheng had also arrived. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Tao Mu sitting at the dining table, his cheeks chubby from eating. It moves like a hamster.

Li Xiaoheng smiled and said, "You ate so many shrimp dumplings, are you going to have a full meal later?"

Tao Mu said he was fearless: "We martial artists have big appetites. And I'm only nineteen years old." Do you understand if a young boy eats me out of money?

Li Xiaoheng chuckled. He extended his hand and said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Liang, I am Li Xiaoheng."

"I've heard of your great name for a long time." The Liang family father and son stood up. Liang Qiu Sheng reached out and grasped Li Xiaoheng's right hand, applying slight force. This statement is absolutely from the heart. Even without mentioning Li Xiaoheng's identity as the eldest son of the Li family, the huge profits that Xiaoheng Capital made by shorting the Xiangcheng stock market last year are enough to make people look at him with admiration.

The two sides met, and after a few greetings, Li Xiaoheng sat down next to Tao Mu.

Liang Shuwen took the initiative to pour tea for Li Xiaoheng. Tao Mu stopped him. He poured a cup of hot water for Li Xiaoheng. Tao Mu explained: "Mr. Li has a bad stomach and doesn't drink tea at night."

Li Xiaoheng laughed. He smiled and looked at Tao Mu. Tao Mu also turned his head and glanced at Li Xiaoheng casually. As soon as their eyes met, the Liang father and son sitting on the other side of the table immediately felt a certain atmosphere.

The Liang family father and son looked at each other calmly. Li Xiaoheng turned around and nodded seriously: "Yes, I don't drink tea at night."

He looked like he was willing to do whatever I said.

Liang Qiu Sheng muttered "henpecked" to himself, and then continued with a smile: "I didn't expect that Mr. Li, at such a young age, has also started to pay attention to health preservation."

Li Xiaoheng smiled slightly and raised his teacup: "Although I don't drink tea, I still use water instead of tea. Thank you Mr. Liang for your careful advice and for helping Feixun.com deal with the aftermath."

Liang Qiu Sheng also smiled and drank the tea in the cup. When Li Xiaoheng said this, it was clear that he was on the same side as Tao Mu. Liang Qiu Sheng also understood that if it weren't for the Liang family's help in cleaning up the mess for Feixun.com, Li Xiaoheng would never have agreed to Liang Qiu Sheng's invitation to a banquet given his status.

During the following meal, Li Xiaoheng was cheerful and talkative, speaking modestly, and toasting each other at the table. His attitude seemed warm and polite, but in fact he was very distant. Liang Qiu Sheng didn't care either. Even the noble families in Xiangcheng might not look down upon his background. What's more, Li Xiaoheng was born in the mainland. Liang Qiu Sheng knew very well that the wealthy in the mainland liked to be red-top businessmen, and he hated to be too involved with people like them. But he is now an honest businessman.

No one talked about business during the meal. They just chatted casually about the customs of Hong Kong and the changes in the mainland, and then Liang Qiu Sheng discussed acting with Tao Mu. We had a very enjoyable chat.

After the dinner, Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng returned to the hotel. In the car, Tao Mu said apologetically: "Actually, you don't have to come."

He was worried that the Liang father and son would take the opportunity to curry favor with Li Xiaoheng, so he was unwilling to let Li Xiaoheng come forward. As a result, at the dinner table, Li Xiaoheng's enthusiastic greetings made him, the protagonist, step to the back.

Hearing this, Li Xiaoheng smiled and said, "Why shouldn't I come? The Liang family father and son invited the two of us to come forward because they regarded us as one. If I hadn't come, I wouldn't know that the food in this teahouse is also very delicious. It's much better than the tea restaurant we went to last time. Bring Uncle Yao, Uncle Xiao Qi and the old man over tomorrow."

"Okay." Tao Mu nodded and leaned back in the passenger seat tiredly.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoheng couldn't help but slow down the car: "You must be very tired from filming the action scenes today. You should get some sleep first. I'll call you when we get there."

Tao Mu responded. Just fold down the seat.

That night, after Li Xiaoheng sent Tao Mu back to his room, he walked into the study and called Assistant Jiang: "I remember that the Liang family's logistics company has always wanted to enter the mainland market. It has also bid for the logistics channels of online shopping platforms before."

"That's true." Assistant Jiang gave a positive answer: "But Mr. Li, you said before that the logistics channels of the online shopping platform are all established by us. Even if we temporarily sign a cooperation agreement with other logistics companies, the Liang family's logistics companies are based in Hong Kong and Guangdong Province. They do not meet our bidding requirements."

In order to cooperate with Li Xiaoheng, even as a supplier or channel dealer, one must have the ability to establish business outlets across the country. If a provincial logistics company is not the most powerful one in the province, there is really no need for cooperation.

"Then give him a chance." Li Xiaoheng ordered directly: "Contact him directly. Sign a one-year contract first. Ask our people to keep an eye on him. If he does well, it's fine. If he really doesn't, there's no need to continue the cooperation."

He gave away the opportunity. Whether they can seize the opportunity depends on what the Liang family does.

"I see." Assistant Jiang paused for a moment and asked, "Is it about Mr. Tao's Feixun.com matter?"

"Is there a problem?" Li Xiaoheng said in a deep voice: "Mr. Tao, you are one of the shareholders of the online shopping platform."

This is the truth. Assistant Jiang is just curious, what is the title of Mr. Tao?
