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 282

"Beyond the Cycle of Reincarnation?" Cheng Yi took the work that Tao Mu handed to him, and went over it carefully in his mind, with a slightly strange expression.

This is the lyrics! The whole book is filled with "reincarnation", "fate", "memory repetition" and "time freeze". The author also imagines that the real world has been shattered and wants to trace back time to piece together the past, but he cannot do it no matter how hard he tries. Just like a broken mirror that cannot be mended, all fate is trapped in the fragments of time. A person goes through reincarnation over and over again, consuming all emotions, but is finally saved by another person who breaks the reincarnation cycle. All my obsessions have been broken, and I can finally welcome a new life with my loved ones and family.

Cheng Yi felt that even though Tao Mu had built up such a huge family business at the age of only 20, he was still a child with wild imagination at heart. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to write such childish lyrics.

It's just a love affair, everyone has had it. This is about reincarnation, fate, and time confinement. The scene is so grand that if you don’t know, you would think it’s the filming of "Ghost Ship"!

Cheng Yi secretly complained in his heart, but his face was very serious: "It's well written. Especially the lyrics are very gorgeous. Full of fantasy. Do you want to shoot an MV with President Li?"

Based on the lyrics, it would be a shame if the script wasn’t made into a Hollywood blockbuster! Cheng Yi once again felt that Tao Mu was worthy of being a film and television producer. He could not forget his job even when writing a song or a lyric.

Tao Mu's face turned slightly red, he coughed lightly, and said seriously: "Forget about shooting the MV. I plan to sing this song at our engagement ceremony. Our General Li will help me with the accompaniment. I think it is meaningful to edit the video of the engagement ceremony and make a homemade MV."

I'm going to sing it at the engagement ceremony! Cheng Yi suddenly remembered that Tao Mu had indeed mentioned this matter. However, Cheng Yi thought Tao Mu was just creating a fresh love song, but it turned out to be both reincarnation and fate. Is he sure it's suitable for the wedding?

Of course, Cheng Yi didn't want to say much about whether it was suitable or not. He just smiled and said, "I remember the engagement ceremony is in two months, right?"

Tao Mu nodded. Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Then we still have plenty of time to polish this song. Let's discuss the arrangement first..."

After meeting Cheng Yi, the lights were already on. Tao Mu didn't expect that it would take so long for the two of them to discuss work together. We haven't even entered the recording studio yet!

As a gold medal music producer with a halo in the Chinese music scene, Cheng Yi was actually a little afraid of entering the recording studio. The main reason was that Tao Mu's singing performance in KTV was so amazing. It was like a devil's sound lingering in his ears. Even now, when Cheng Yi wakes up in the middle of the night, he can still remember the fear that he felt when he was dominated by Tao Mu's singing that day!

So this time, Producer Cheng also made psychological preparations for a long time before he had the confidence to step into the recording studio with Tao Mu.

However, what surprised Cheng Yi was that Tao Mu did not use his magic sound nirvana this time. The whole recording process lasted from morning to night. Tao Mu sang a song more than 30 times, and each time he sang it was more emotional than the last. Although his skills were still immature, Cheng Yi actually heard a long-lost feeling of emotion from Tao Mu's singing.

It is the touching feeling of having seen thousands of sails, washed away all the worldly things, and gone through hardships, but finally being able to stick together through thick and thin for a lifetime.

Cheng Yi, standing outside the recording studio, looked through the glass window at Tao Mu who was singing seriously inside. He couldn't understand why these two people were just in an everyday relationship, but had so many heavy emotions of life and death. Could it be that actors are naturally more emotional than singers and can get into the role more easily, even when singing?

There was a knock on the door. Cheng Yi frowned and motioned for his assistant to open the door. Li Xiaoheng, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked in from outside and smiled at Cheng Yi: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Cheng."

Cheng Yi glanced at Tao Mu in the recording studio and asked with a smile, "Is President Li here to pick someone up?"

Li Xiaoheng nodded. He is actually a person who doesn't like to talk much, not to mention that Cheng Yi and Tao Mu are still working. Li Xiaoheng didn't want to affect the other party's work. After entering the door, he stood obediently behind Cheng Yi, gazing at Tao Mu in the recording studio with deep affection.

Cheng Yi has very strict requirements for his works. Even though Mr. Li was beside him, Cheng Yi insisted that Tao Mu record it twice more until he was satisfied, and then he agreed to go home.

Tao Mu couldn't wait to walk out of the recording studio and asked Li Xiaoheng: "Why did you get off work so early today?"

Li Xiaoheng just smiled and said nothing. I don’t want to say that I moved a lot of work to the evening in order to leave work early. I just want to see Tao Mu in the recording studio with my own eyes.

"I have visited the sets of every movie or TV series you've made. Of course I can't miss your first song recording session."

When Cheng Yi, who was standing aside, heard these words, he inexplicably felt as if something had hit him in the face and it hurt.

In order to thank Cheng Yi for his help, Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng wanted to treat Cheng Yi to a meal. As a result, at the dinner table, Tao Mu received a call from the principal of Beijing Film Academy and Guo Yaning. They all came to plead for Cheng Baodong. However, their reasons and ways of speaking are very different.

The principal of Beijing Film Academy is playing the card of "we all come from the same school and should share the same aspirations". I think there are few directors coming out of Beijing Film Academy. Although Cheng Baodong's behavior was a bit unkind, since Cheng Baodong had already realized his mistakes and was willing to toast Tao Mu to apologize, Dean Liu still hoped that Tao Mu would be able to forgive him and laugh it off with Cheng Baodong. At least I finished making this movie in a down-to-earth manner.

Dean Liu complained to Tao Mu: "...You also know that there are very few big directors from our Beijing Film Academy. Relatively speaking, there are not many choices. If our Beijing Film Academy is the same as Yan Film Academy, not to mention its international influence, but if there are more than a handful of commercial film directors who can be named in the circle, I will not force you to cooperate with Director Cheng."

But the current situation is that Beijing Film Academy can only produce one commercial film director, Cheng Baodong. Therefore, even considering the reputation of the Beijing Film Academy's directing department, Beijing Film Academy does not want to see Cheng Baodong's negative information spread all over the place. What's more, Cheng Baodong's negative information is at best just some unspoken rules in the circle. Many directors do this.

Dean Liu's words were sincere and sincere. Things have come to this point. Tao Mu can't let the school be embarrassed along with Cheng Baodong, let alone make things difficult for Principal Liu. It was just a meal, but Cheng Baodong still bowed to him! There is nothing wrong with Tao Mu agreeing to it. But let me be frank: "Since I am the producer and investor of this film, I hope that Director Cheng can put himself in the right position in future cooperation. Don't always challenge my scope of work."

Compared with other producers in the industry, Tao Mu still respects the director's ideas during his work. This is also an important reason why the directors who have worked with Tao Mu praise him highly. Because Tao Mu can fully balance the director's artistic pursuit and the commercial nature of the work. Moreover, when Tao Mu serves as the producer, he usually gives the director a lot of say.

However, this does not include people like Cheng Baodong who are indiscriminate and want to have a taste of everything. No matter how tolerant Tao Mu was, he couldn't stand someone jumping on his head and pointing fingers at him. As a director, Cheng Baodong was not incapable of raising the requirements of casting and changing the script, but bypassing Tao Mu, the producer and investor, and directly trying to persuade the school to do something small, would be treating Tao Mu as a fool.

If Tao Mu can still hold back from fighting back, then everyone who works with Tao Mu in the future will follow suit. Everyone treated Tao Mu as a sucker, how could he do this job?

Dean Liu can certainly understand Tao Mu's concerns. He privately thought that Cheng Baodong's actions were a bit excessive, so he agreed without hesitation. He even made a special call to Cheng Baodong's agent before the dinner. Remind the other party to remember this.

In comparison, Guo Yaning's wording is more casual.

"Director Cheng has been very kind to me, and you are the one who helped me make the transition. I can't afford to offend either of you. Today, I will just leave my face here, and you, Mr. Tao, can handle it."

Tao Mu burst out laughing. However, he had already promised Dean Liu, so naturally he would not offend Guo Yaning.

So the next night, Cheng Baodong, who had been procrastinating but had to bow his head, finally invited Tao Mu to the dinner table as he wished. The only surprise was that... Li Xiaoheng's family member insisted on coming along!
