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 270

Knowing clearly that he was dreaming, and vaguely guessing why "Tao Mu" in this life turned out to be Shen Yu, Tao Mu, who was even more curious about what would happen next, calmed down and patiently watched the development of the dream.

"Tao Mu" cried for a long time in the bathroom. When he finally returned to the set with red and swollen eyes, everyone was almost done with lunch. "Tao Mu" missed the time to get his lunch box, but the producer who had just scolded him was attentive and helped "Tao Mu" get a box of takeaway. It's just that Tao Mu stayed in the bathroom for too long, and the lunch box was already cold. In order to please his childhood friend, Yao Wenxiao ordered all the dishes according to Shen Er's taste. Shen Er is from Shanghai, so he is naturally more accustomed to eating local cuisine. The local cuisine is originally characterized by heavy oil and red sauce, and it tastes a bit greasy when it is cold. Of course, the chef's cooking skills were extraordinary, so "Tao Mu" still wolfed down the whole box of rice. I could also hear other crew members praising Yao Wenxiao and Mr. Shen Er with endless praise. They said Yao Wenxiao was straightforward and generous, and that although Mr. Shen came from a wealthy family, he was very hardworking and did not even use a stunt double for wire scenes and fight scenes. He could also ride a horse and shoot arrows. He was indeed a nobleman from a wealthy family. His foundation is stronger than those idol stars who rely on their looks to make a living.

"Tao Mu" curled his lips and disagreed. He felt that Shen Er had the leisure to learn so many things because of his good family background and the chance to be reborn with rich and powerful parents. For someone like him who has a bad fate and was born an orphan, it is already a great effort for him to survive. Being able to complete nine years of compulsory education still depends on national policies. Going to high school is a luxury, let alone going to university.

It's obvious that he is arrogant and looks down on others, but because he has money to buy people's hearts, everyone flatters him like a blind man. He doesn't even care about right or wrong. It was clearly not his fault, but he was still forced to apologize. In order to please others, he was almost kicked out of the crew. The more Tao Mu thought about it, the more angry he became. He ate the last bite of his lunch box fiercely. Before he had time to drink a sip of water, he was called over by the props team to work again.

Tao Mu got a stitch in the side accidentally. He held his stomach and cried out in pain, his face turning pale. Seeing this, the assistant director in charge of props and scenery stopped Tao Mu from working and told him to find a corner to rest and come back after a while.

"Tao Mu" nodded repeatedly, thanked him, but he didn't agree with it in his heart. He felt that it was the prop master's fault that he got a stitch in the side. How can you ask someone to work while he has just finished a meal and is still chewing rice? It's simply child labor oppression.

"Tao Mu" continued to be indignant, completely forgetting that the reason he had dinner later than others was because he spent too much time in the bathroom. Besides, the crew also has a schedule for filming. No matter what time the shooting is to take place, the props team must first prepare the set props to ensure that subsequent shooting can proceed smoothly. When we are rushing to meet deadlines, not to mention starting work right after meals, there have been times when we have to work the entire day on an empty stomach.

Of course, "Tao Mu" would not consider these. Holding my stomach and hiding in the corner, being lazy. In fact, when the prop master asked him to rest, Tao Mu was no longer in so much pain. But if you don’t rest when you can, you’re a fool. "Tao Mu" claims to be a smart man, how could he do such a stupid thing.

So this afternoon, "Tao Mu" was hiding leisurely. Watching Second Master Shen, who was praised and flattered by the entire crew, struggling with the martial arts instructor and the stunt doubles until the evening, I felt more and more that there was something wrong with Second Master Shen.

Obviously you can use a stand-in for the filming. It would be fine if he just struck a few poses in front of the camera, but Mr. Shen insisted on doing it himself, getting bruises all over his body and applying medicine every day. I heard that he even got angry with his assistant because it was too painful while applying the medicine. Aren’t they just bored because they have nothing better to do? He was injured himself, why was he angry with his assistant? An assistant is not a human being? Could it be wrong to help him apply medicine with good intentions?

"Tao Mu" privately complained to Shen Er's assistant, and even looked for opportunities to get close to Shen Er Gongzi's assistant. When he learned that Mr. Shen's assistant was actually his classmate from school, and that he was only temporarily working as Shen's assistant because his family was short of money, he became even more indignant.

"How could he do this? Since you are classmates, why didn't he just lend you money if you needed it? He even asked you to be his assistant. Isn't he bullying you?"

"Why do you think so?" The assistant looked at "Tao Mu" with a strange face, and couldn't help but defend Shen Er: "Don't you have to pay back the money you borrow? Besides, how can this be about money? I am studying advertising planning. It is very helpful for my profession to have the opportunity to personally experience how a crew shoots. As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. I have to thank Shen Yu for giving me this opportunity."

Shen Er's classmate is called Fu Ran. Like Shen Er, he is a top student at Aurora University. The only difference is that Shen Er is from the Economics Department, and Su Ran is from the Advertising Department of the School of Journalism. The two are still roommates. Because of his family background, Shen Er has been pampered since childhood and has never been bullied. Although he has a bit of an arrogant temper, he is still easy to talk to in front of his family and friends.

Fu Ran came from a poor family, and was very worried when she first learned that there was a big Buddha like Shen Er living in her dormitory. I was afraid that I might accidentally offend the rich young master, or accidentally damage Shen Er’s things, and I wouldn’t be able to afford the compensation. At that time, I was so scared that I even breathed in the dormitory. As a result, after spending time together day and night, Eliza discovered that although Chen Er had a bad temper, his character was really impeccable.

He never looked down on others just because his family was rich, and he never showed off his wealth in the dormitory on purpose. Just like any other person, he skipped classes, stayed up late to play games, and cram before exams. He is also very delicate and considerate. Although he looks cool and domineering, he is actually very soft-hearted. Take the time when he invited Fu Ran to be his assistant, for example. It was because Shen Er accidentally learned that Fu Ran was not planning to go back to her hometown during the summer vacation, but wanted to go out and distribute flyers and work as a cashier to earn tuition and living expenses, so he took the initiative to ask.

"Since you want to work during the summer, why don't you come and be my assistant. I'm going to shoot a movie during the summer vacation, and I happen to be in need of a life assistant. I'll give you 8,000 a month, and you can join the crew with me. Aren't you studying advertising? This is a good opportunity for you to discuss with the director how to shoot." When Shen Er said this, Elizabeth felt very embarrassed. It’s not because of anything else, I just feel that I’m not worth eight thousand dollars. You should know that many seniors who graduate from their senior year only get a monthly salary of three to four thousand yuan for their first job. How could Fu Ran be so worthy as to actually make so much money?

Fu Ran knew that Shen Yu gave this price after taking into account his tuition and living expenses, but Fu Ran felt that she could not agree to it.

Then Shen Er said again: "You don't have to feel embarrassed. I must have my reasons for giving this number. You will know it when the time comes. I have a lot of things to do when I am the boss. I would feel embarrassed if I gave less."

After hearing what Shen Er said, Fu Ran had no choice but to accept the job. He came to H Town with some doubts, and was secretly thinking that if this job was easy and he could learn something, he would definitely not ask for so much money. It wasn't until I started working officially that I realized that Shen Er hadn't lied at all. He would get off work at two o'clock in the morning and still drag Fu Ran to act with him, and drive to the breakfast shop at five o'clock in the morning to buy breakfast that matched Shen Er's taste. Those were the most relaxing times.

The most important thing is that Shen Er, who is obsessed with filming, is extremely emotionally unstable. He was not a professional actor and had no acting experience. This was his first time acting as the leading actor, so he naturally felt a lot of pressure. Because Shen Er is the type of person who must win even when playing games. Therefore, even if he enters the circle just for fun, he must play above the standard.

So in this situation, Shen Er would sometimes torment others in order to relieve stress - for example, when he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, he would suddenly call the director to shoot a video. When Fu Ran brought the video to me, I reviewed it frame by frame, and re-shot any parts I was not satisfied with the next day. So much so that the entire crew had to keep reworking it. Everyone had complaints in the beginning, but once they got used to Shen Er's style of doing things, they felt that this kind of person was actually very pure and very rare.

You don't have to worry about financial pressure, life pressure, or even messy things like interpersonal relationships. You just need to focus on doing the thing at hand well. Fu Ran felt that the most appropriate way to describe Shen Yu was to use "innocent heart".

Just like a large and ferocious beast that looks extremely powerful, it may frighten people at first and make them dare not approach it, but once they get used to it and watch it for a long time, they will begin to admire it and even rely on it. I feel very lucky to be able to keep moving forward behind such a person. Because he alone has to bear all the wind, frost, and swords on the road ahead, you only need to keep your eyes on his back and keep moving forward courageously and wholeheartedly. When you suddenly come to your senses, you will be surprised to find that you have reached the top. You can see more beautiful and magnificent scenery.

Fu Ran also heard about the conflict between "Tao Mu" and Yao Wenxiao. He knew that "Tao Mu" was an orphan, and was only seventeen or eighteen years old this year, about the same age as them. He couldn't go to college but had to come out to make a living. He felt that it was not easy for the child, so he kindly advised him: "Don't be prejudiced against Shen Yu, he is actually a very good person."

Tao Mu sneered secretly. I feel that Fu Ran is also the kind of superficial person who is grateful for what he has received. Because I took 8,000 yuan from Shen Er, I thought Shen Er was a good person. But in fact, for someone like Shen Er, what is eight thousand yuan? It was just the money for his meal. It sounds so nice, but the purpose is still to enslave your classmates. Only people like Fu Ran would feel grateful. Perhaps in Shen Er's mind, he would feel very proud to be able to spend money to hire a top student from Aurora University to be his assistant and order people around!

Thinking of this, "Tao Mu" suddenly felt something was wrong: "I heard from other people in the crew that the second son Shen is only eighteen years old this year, how come he is already in college?"

"Not even 18 yet! Shen Yu's birthday is July 7th. Speaking of which, he's going to celebrate his birthday on the set this year." Fu Ran smiled before answering "Tao Mu": "I heard that Shen Yu went to school two years early. Because the eldest son of the Shen family is a child prodigy, he skipped grades all the way and graduated from a well-known foreign university before he was 20 years old. Then he returned to China to officially take over the business of the Shen Group. Shen Yu admires his brother very much, but in his own words, his brain is not as smart as his elder brother. So he went to school two years early, just to keep up with his elder brother's footsteps."

"Tao Mu" didn't hear what Fu Ran said next, and asked blankly: "Second Master Shen's birthday is July 7th?"

"Yes!" Eliza nodded and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing!" Tao Mu shook his head disconsolately. He just didn't expect such a coincidence to happen. The birthday of Mr. Shen Er was exactly the same as his.

I heard from the director of the orphanage that when he was picked up, he was wearing a bracelet on his arm with his date of birth on it, which was also July 7th!

"Tao Mu" looked at the second son Shen on the set with a complicated expression. He was so tired that he was sweating and even his makeup was ruined. After retouching his makeup, he was still fighting with the martial arts instructor.

Two people born on the same day of the same month of the same year. One is an orphan cruelly abandoned by his biological parents, and the other is a young master of a wealthy family. One is a poor guy who has to go out into the society to make a living after graduating from junior high school, has experienced the warmth and coldness of the world, the indifference of human nature and the contempt of others, and has to struggle to survive. The other is a lucky guy who can enroll in a key university early and can get the role of the leading actor just for fun.

Why is God so unfair? Even the different classes among people must be distinguished so clearly!

Tao Mu clenched his fists tightly, feeling as if a seasoning box had been spilled in his heart, with all kinds of flavors, except sweetness.
