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...
The next morning, Tao Mu finished filming the "Zixiao" scene and immediately moved to the next-door "Heroic Biography" crew.
Zhao Xin asked the Life Producer to get a copy of Tao Mu's shooting schedule for "Zi Xiao" and rehearse Tao Mu's scenes according to this schedule to ensure that there would be no conflict between the two crews.
Although this treatment is not special among the crew of "Heroes and Heroes", where the leading actors and important supporting actors often have to take leave to attend commercial performances, it is the first among young actors. As a result, many minor supporting characters were somewhat dissatisfied, gossiping in private, but trying to win over Tao Mu in front of him.
Tao Mu had seen many people like this in his previous life, so he didn't take it seriously. The only thing that bothered him a little was that when taking the final makeup photos, the makeup artist deliberately used black powder to darken his skin tone by several shades. The photographer in charge of taking pictures also deliberately pressed the lens down - Tao Mu was obsessed with photography for a period of time in his previous life, and he also played with SLRs, so he knew very well how to find the angle of the lens if he wanted to take a good-looking photo of someone. According to the photographer's shooting method, the killer Wuming's makeup photo will definitely appear shorter than he actually is, and have a bigger face.
The cameraman and makeup artist certainly wouldn't do this for no reason. Looking at it from another angle, the person who could privately instruct the cameraman and makeup artist to do this must be very important in the crew. Considering the conflict of interest and making good use of the process of elimination, there is only one person who has the motive and ability to target Tao Mu.
Tao Mu sneered in his heart, casually posed as if holding the Green Snake Soft Sword, slightly turned sideways, and stared at the camera with a sharp gaze. The camera clicked, and the cameraman and the post-production staff looked at the computer screen at the same time.
But in the dark background, Tao Mu stood sideways, with most of his body blending into the darkness, and only the half of his face with disfiguring makeup facing the camera. His eyes were deep and his face expressionless, as one hand gently stroked the green snake sword wrapped around his other arm. Because of the lighting and the angle of the camera, Tao Mu in the photo looked a little short, and his outline was blurred because of the dim light.
But these are not the most important things. What's important is Tao Mu's eyes staring at the camera, which are as dark as a pool of cold water with no end in sight, silent and deserted, and have not melted for a thousand years. His body was bent in an arc because he was leaning sideways. The cameraman didn't notice anything at first, but when he looked at the photo again, it was as if he saw a venomous snake lurking in the darkness, waiting for its opportunity to strike. Every arc from his shoulders and elbows to his waist was trying its best to imitate the arc of a giant python wrapping its prey when hunting. It was suffocatingly cold, feminine and powerful, and her whole body exuded a ruthless and decisiveness that could kill with one strike.
The cameraman in front of the camera, the post-production staff in front of the computer, and the spectators standing in the studio who were planning to watch the show all shuddered at the same time. The studio, which was originally still making some small noises, suddenly became completely silent - all of them were shocked by Tao Mu's instant burst of indifference to human life and death.
Especially those who had looked into Tao Mu's eyes, suddenly had the illusion that they were being stared at by a python, as if they were prey that was about to be swallowed alive, with their lives in danger.
The group of people rubbed the goose bumps on their arms at the same time, and felt a chill spreading from the tailbone to the whole body, and even the hairs on their bodies began to tremble.
Some celebrity idols can be discredited through makeup, lighting and camera angles, but for a professional actor whose acting skills have reached the level of a movie emperor, even if you only shoot one of his hands and a pair of his feet, he can still give you the aura of being in control of the overall situation.
Faced with the unspoken but tacitly understood difficulties of some colleagues, Tao Mu was too lazy to care or argue, and directly responded in the most unquestionable way. This is his confidence in his Oscar-winning acting skills.
The crew members who originally wanted to watch the show all fell silent. They looked at each other and made faces. The photographer and lighting technician who had already accepted the benefits and made a guarantee were in a difficult situation. They secretly admired Tao Mu's makeup photos while worrying secretly - Tao Mu was able to take such good makeup photos even though the lighting and camera were deliberately making things difficult, which was enough to show his talent.
Generally speaking, they are unwilling to offend an artist like this who has both good looks and acting skills, even if he is a newcomer. The entertainment industry is ever-changing. You never know when a nobody you stepped on will become an overnight sensation. At that time, the clients who have the confidence and capital can naturally make goodwill moves again. However, for insignificant little cannon fodder like them, if the other party really wants to retaliate, they will probably end up miserably.
It was also for this reason that the cameraman and the lighting technician were reluctant to offend Tao Mu, including in the later stage.
Anyway, they had done what they were supposed to do, and it was Tao Mu who had the ability to break out of the siege. Thinking of this, the cameraman in charge of taking pictures immediately smiled and said, "Perfect! This makeup photo is so impressive. Tao Mu, have you ever been a print model? You are very good at finding lighting and angles."
Tao Mu curled his lips and said with a smile: "I used to take promotional photos for others to earn some pocket money. I'm a newcomer, and some famous photographers don't take us unknown people seriously, so I have to find a way to make a living."
Tao Mu's "finding a living" is jargon, meaning that when the camera can't take care of it during filming, you have to find the camera yourself. It also pointed out that he was well aware of the small movements of the lighting and camera when taking the final photos, but he didn't want to care about it.
The cameraman didn't expect Tao Mu to be so sophisticated at such a young age. Suddenly I felt a little ashamed. She smiled awkwardly and said, "I think this makeup photo is already very well taken. Do you think we should leave it like this? Don't you have a play later? Let's not waste time."
What I mean is that I am also loyal to the people who entrusted me with the task. Since you can break out with your own strength, I won't continue to make things difficult for you. But we can't take the photo again, otherwise we won't be able to explain to the other party.
There is a hint of goodwill in these words. Tao Mu had just arrived, and although he looked down on these people, he would not cause a conflict over such a small matter. It was not in Tao Mu's style to vent his anger on the little devil when he couldn't deal with the King of Hell. Of course, he is not the kind of spineless person who would rush to accept other people's kindness. He immediately replied in a neither soft nor hard way: "You are a professional photographer, so of course you have the final say."
The photographer listened to Tao Mu's sarcasm but turned a deaf ear to it. He turned around and ordered, "Okay, call it a day."
In order to catch up with the progress, the crew is usually divided into two groups A and B during filming. Tao Mu took the final makeup photos in group B, while Zhao Xin and the male and female protagonists were in group A shooting the main scene.
When Tao Mu finished taking the final makeup photos and rushed to Group A, he happened to meet Ning Yuan, who played the male lead, and Yu Ze, who played the second male lead, acting opposite each other. Zhao Xin, who was sitting in front of the monitor, looked back at Tao Mu and said, "I heard that your makeup photos were good?"
Tao Mu smiled slightly: "The cameraman said it was okay." He did not mention the minor disagreements during the filming at all.
Zhao Xin sneered and said meaningfully: "Work hard. No matter what time it is, the most important thing is to have ability." When you have ability and status, and make a big name in the entertainment industry, this kind of thing will never happen.
On the other hand, it is precisely because someone lacks strength that he or she becomes so cautious and fearful, constantly making small moves behind the scenes. However, only those with insufficient strength can take photos of such small actions. Those who are truly capable like Tao Mu will always stand out from the crowd.
Tao Mu took these words too seriously. He immediately nodded and agreed: "I will try my best."
Ning Yuan, who was on the set, also learned from the assistant about Tao Mu's makeup photo shoot. Seeing Tao Mu at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little upset. He didn't keep up and immediately NG.
"Cut!" Zhao Xin glanced at Ning Yuan and Yu Ze and said, "Take a ten-minute break. The next scene will be between Tao Mu and Ning Yuan."
Due to the impact of filming costs and locations, the crew should never expect to follow the development of the plot when filming. All performance arrangements must be subject to space and scenery. Because of this, the first scene that Tao Mu filmed was not his first appearance in the play. Rather, it is a conversation between him and the male protagonist out of appreciation after they had a big fight.
Location: Outside Jinling City
Ning Yuan, who plays the male lead, waved a folding fan in his hand, looking handsome and elegant: "Brother, you are a martial arts expert, and you have reached the pinnacle. You should not be an unknown person. Why have I never heard of your reputation in the martial arts world?"
Tao Mu had no expression on his face: "I am a killer."
"Oh?" Ning Yuan raised his eyebrows, and asked with interest: "What do you mean?"
Tao Mu continued expressionlessly: "The killer is nameless——"
"Cut!" Zhao Xin glanced at Ning Yuan who accidentally dropped the prop folding fan to the ground.
Ning Yuan bowed to everyone with an apologetic look on his face and apologized: "I'm sorry, my hand slipped."
Zhao Xin didn't say anything. The script supervisor walked to the camera with the clapperboard and hit the clapperboard again.
Ning Yuan stood tall and slender, continuing to wave his folding fan, and even did not forget to flip it in front of the camera, smiling casually, with a graceful demeanor: "Brother, you are a martial arts expert, and you have reached the pinnacle. You should not be an unknown person. Why have I never heard of your reputation in the martial arts world?"
Tao Mu had no expression on his face: "I am a killer."
"Oh?" Ning Yuan suddenly leaned forward, walked behind Tao Mu, and tried to get close to Tao Mu's ear in a very intimate way - but Tao Mu dodged him.
"Cut!" Zhao Xin shouted at Tao Mu, "Why are you hiding?"
Tao Mu frowned: "He's too close to me. According to his character setting, Killer Wuming will never allow someone he meets for the first time to get behind him and get so close."
Ning Yuan spread his hands innocently: "I also wanted to create the character of Mu Qingyang. Mu Qingyang is cool and suave, and cynical. When I meet such an interesting person, I naturally want to tease him."
What both of them said made sense, but Ning Yuan was the male lead and a rising idol promoted by investor Xiaxing Entertainment. Zhao Xin couldn't say anything to Ning Yuan, so he had to glare at Tao Mu and said, "Act well, don't add to the drama casually."
Tao Mu remained silent.
So we shot it a third time.
As a result, Ningyuan ran into problems again. This time, he deliberately blocked Tao Mu's camera while moving. As a result, Tao Mu turned around and grabbed the camera back. When Ning Yuan followed him, he accidentally sprained his ankle and suddenly appeared much shorter in the camera - naturally this scene could not be used.
So they filmed it for the fourth time, the fifth time... Ning Yuan tried his best. He originally thought that Tao Mu was a newcomer who had never filmed in front of the camera. Even if he performed well occasionally, he would never be very stable. So he wanted to disrupt Tao Mu's filming rhythm, so as to suppress Tao Mu's performance.
But I didn't expect Tao Mu to perform consistently. As for him, the continuous NGs disrupted his shooting rhythm, and now he can't find the feeling no matter how he shoots.
It was a very simple scene that took us a whole morning to shoot, and even the crew had their lunch boxes delivered to us. Zhao Xin glanced at Ning Yuan, who had lost more than he gained, and Tao Mu, who had a blank expression on his face, and then he grabbed the loud speaker and slammed it into his face: "Ka!"
"It's lunch time. Everyone, take a break for an hour."
Before he finished speaking, Ning Yuan threw the prop folding fan to the ground and got into the RV with a serious face.
I didn't even eat lunch.
