Mr. Li stayed in Africa for only two days over the weekend before flying back to Yanjing. However, the health care doctor, the old Chinese doctor and the nutritionist he brought with him all stayed. Tao Mu learned from his previous lessons. In the following filming, although he tried his best to complete various martial arts moves, he paid more attention to maintenance and massage after filming. Following the healthy diet recommended by an old Chinese doctor and a nutritionist, after a month, although my skin tone has become darker, I actually look much healthier than before. Moreover, he has grown one centimeter taller and is now 1.88 meters tall.

"Do I look more aggressive?" At the shooting site, Tao Mu, wearing combat uniform, kept posing in front of the mirror. His narcissistic look was unbearable to look at.

Du Kang and others who were casually sitting on the ground leaning against the prop box rolled their eyes. Wen Bao complained weakly: "You are really not tired! Sit there and rest for a while. There will be an explosion scene later!"

Although he said no, he even took the approach of secretly reporting to Li Xiaoheng and urging President Li to visit the set in Africa to persuade Tao Mu not to work too hard for the filming. But deep down, when everyone saw with their own eyes that Tao Mu was so serious that he could hurt himself all over in order to make the play a good one, they were still moved.

Young boys in their twenties are passionate and impulsive. What's more, they are now filming a heroic movie and are influenced by Tao Mu, the bad male protagonist. From that day on, many actors took the initiative to ask Director Cheng to personally shoot the fighting and explosion scenes. In order to film the TV series "Soldier King", these actors trained in the army for more than half a year. So compared to stuntmen, although Du Kang and his friends’ kung fu foundation is not strong enough, they still have the ability to put on some fancy moves in front of the camera. Moreover, since the actors personally shoot the fighting scenes and relatively dangerous explosion scenes, the camera crew can shoot a lot of close-up shots. In post-production editing, it will appear more realistic and urgent, with a more stimulating visual impact.

So there was no reason for Cheng Baodong, who also wanted to do his best to make a good movie, to refuse such a proposal. However, this will put greater demands and pressure on the actors themselves. In pursuit of the ultimate visual effects and explosion scenes, Cheng Baodong designed many thrilling explosion scenes. Many of the plots involve special forces soldiers rushing out of a room or car that is about to explode, followed by the house and car exploding, as well as various stunt shots of jumping from tall buildings or "flying" from one building to another. These scenes are all dangerous to a certain extent, and the actors may get injured if they are not careful. So according to the original plan, all these scenes were performed by stunt actors.

Nowadays, actors are required to do the scenes themselves. Although it will appear more realistic and exciting in post-production, during the filming period, the entire crew, including the crew, felt tremendous pressure both in terms of funding and other aspects. Before filming begins every day, the blasting team and the props team will conduct multiple tests to ensure that the entire scene and all explosion points are foolproof. As for Cheng Baodong and the actors, since the actors are not stuntmen after all, they also need to rehearse many times to ensure that everything goes well. All of them required fighting and explosions. It was exhausting to shoot them once, let alone so many times. Many actors couldn't adapt to it for a while and followed in Tao Mu's footsteps. Even Cheng Baodong was almost injured in the explosion during the filming. Fortunately, Tao Mu "donated" his health doctor, old Chinese medicine doctor and nutritionist in time, which ensured that all the actors survived.

At the same time, repeated tests and rehearsals, as well as real-life explosion scenes, also consumed the filming funds like water. During a break in filming, Cheng Baodong even joked that he could finally have fun blowing up houses and cars like the directors of Hollywood blockbusters.

Of course, all this expense is worth it. A month later, when the crew wrapped up filming in Africa, all the actors were full of confidence in this film that had not yet taken shape.

Because the filming in Africa was so tiring, Tao Mu gave the entire crew a day off after returning home. Then we spent another week reshooting some of the scenes for "Soldier King: The Sword Comes Out" in China. When the filming was finally completed, Cheng Baodong looked at the rough cut of the movie and excitedly said that this movie would definitely be a hit. I even imagined that if the movie became a hit, it would be made into a series.

"...If you want to make a series, I hope you can still ask me to be the director. Our entire crew will strive to make this IP a classic." At the wrap-up banquet, Cheng Baodong poured himself three full glasses of white wine and raised his glass to apologize to Tao Mu: "I admit that I was prejudiced against you before. But now I also admit that you, Tao Mu, are the best actor in the country, both in acting and professionalism. It's a pleasure to work with you. I hope we will have opportunities to work together again."

After Cheng Baodong finished speaking, he drank the three glasses of liquor without waiting for Tao Mu's reaction. The same scene and the same words, but this time, Cheng Baodong was willing.

Tao Mu smiled. It has to be said that although he hated Cheng Baodong's personality, he was still very happy to work with such a capable and persistent person. He also drank the wine in his glass. The two looked at each other and smiled, which actually seemed to suggest that "all grudges can be forgotten with a smile when we meet".

This subtle atmosphere also infected other people present. Everyone followed suit and clinked glasses, and the conversation became increasingly lively. They all seem to be fantasizing about the bright future they will have after the success of this movie - immediately becoming second-tier stars, and then receiving constant film contracts and endorsements.

In this atmosphere, the wrap-up party ended in great joy. At the end, Tao Mu, who was drunk like a cat, still clamored to take everyone to the night to continue the show. In the end, they were coaxed and deceived by their boss Mr. Li into taking him back.

From the time Tao Mu started filming the movie to the time it was officially finished, Li Xiaoheng didn't touch Tao Mu for nearly two months. I just feel sorry for Tao Mu because he is too tired from filming, and I'm afraid that if he does something stupid, his body won't be able to bear it. Now that Tao Mu is finally free, how can Mr. Li, who has been pure and abstinent for so long, hold back? That night, he performed "One Hundred Ways to Pet a Drunk Cat" for Tao Mu.

The next morning, when Zui Mao classmate struggled to get up from the bed, their boss Li was wearing a pink apron, looking refreshed and contented, making a loving breakfast in the kitchen. His father Yao and Xiao Qi's father were also sitting in the living room, and no one knew when they came over.

"You're awake." Seeing Tao Mu walking out of the bedroom with rough skin and messy hair, Meng Qi's gaze paused slightly at Tao Mu's face, which was three shades darker. He frowned slightly.

"Dad Yao, Dad Xiao Qi. Why are you here so early?" Tao Mu was wearing neat pajamas, holding his waist with one hand, and greeting the two fathers. He was surprised to find that Liu Yao, who was usually thick-skinned, was looking at him with pity and even winking at him.

Tao Mu: “?”

Seeing that his little brat had no tacit understanding with him at all, Liu Yao sighed silently.

Noticing the interaction between the father and son, Meng Qi smiled slightly, pulled out a thick schedule from his bag, and said to Tao Mu: "In more than half a month, it will be your engagement ceremony with Xiao Heng. In order to ensure that you can appear at the engagement ceremony in the best condition, Dad has ordered a whitening and shaping package for you for half a month..."

Tao Mu: "..."

Tao Mu: “???”

Tao Mu: "!!!"

A series of punctuation marks perfectly expressed Tao Mu's mood at this moment. He looked at the thick stack of beauty schedules in Meng Qi's hand with great horror, and suddenly felt that the future he was facing was even more dangerous than acting out the explosion scene himself!

"Li——"

"Don't call him." Meng Qi smiled slightly, and sat on the sofa in a particularly elegant and gentle manner. Even his crossed legs looked elegant and graceful. "This is your first and probably the only engagement ceremony in your life. Do you really want to go on stage in such a dark and rough manner?"

"I think I'm quite handsome now. And it's not black, it's bronze, most people can't get that tan!" Tao Mu said aggrievedly: "Tall, handsome and manly, everyone in our crew said that I'm full of aggression now."

"Who gave you this illusion?" Meng Qi raised his eyebrows. "Don't fantasize about it. Even if you are as black as oil and as rough as a pumice stone, you can't cover up the fact that you are down there."

This complaint is too harsh!

Tao Mu looked at their father Xiao Qi with grief and anger.

But it was of no use. Meng Qi, who has always been gentle and peaceful, was particularly resolute on this matter. He couldn't bear the fact that his elegant and fashionable kid for twenty years had become so rough that he couldn't even put on a facial mask for whitening after filming a few military movies. If you don't have the life of a straight man, then don't get the disease of a straight man. Even after getting married, you should never relax the management of your body shape. The rough Mediterranean guy with a beer belly and a rough body is definitely not okay.

"You must always keep in mind your idol burden." Father Meng said firmly, reminding Tao Mu that no matter what stage of life he is in, he must not give up his beauty. We must strictly implement the idol burden, not only pursuing the inner self but also taking the outer self into consideration.

After finally waiting for the film to be finished, Tao Musheng, who just wanted to take a vacation at home and wait for the engagement ceremony, collapsed on the sofa with no hope. Li Xiaoheng walked out of the kitchen, holding the loving breakfast he made for Tao Mu, and said tremblingly: "Breakfast is ready, Uncle Yao, Uncle Xiaoqi, Xiaomu, let's eat first."

"Okay." Meng Qi nodded, looked at Li Xiaoheng, and suddenly said, "You've lived for nearly thirty years, and you haven't taken good care of yourself, right? This is a good opportunity to go with Xiao Mu. You're so much older than Xiao Mu, so you should take good care of yourself, too."

To avoid being despised because of old age? Li Xiaoheng looked at Tao Mu tremblingly, and Tao Mu looked back tremblingly.

That afternoon, guests of a high-end beauty salon were shocked to find that before the much-anticipated engagement ceremony, the grooms-to-be, Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng, were led by their parents (Xiao Qi's father and Li's mother) to one of the most upscale beauty salons in Yanjing.

Half an hour later, the gossip news about Mr. Tao of Feixun.com and Mr. Li of Xiaoheng Capital having plastic surgery for love suddenly became a hot search!
