During breakfast, Tao Mu briefly introduced the concept of entertainment big V to Da Mao and Xiao Pang. But not much was said. After all, in 2008, most people were playing with blogs, Tieba, and Jiujiu Space. Weibo had just started operating, and even WeChat had not come out yet. All self-media were still in the ignorant stage before wild growth, and most people had no concept of self-media at all. In this case, it's no use for Tao Mu to say too much.
However, even these few words still aroused the two childhood friends' ambition to devote themselves to gossip. She enthusiastically pestered Tao Mu with questions all morning, and even changed her Weibo name to a non-mainstream and overly middle school name full of the flavor of the times at Tao Mu's suggestion.
"Brother Mu, Brother Mu, you have many tricks. Can you help me think of a name that is both fun and cool?" Xiao Pang smiled flatteringly in front of Tao Mu while holding the computer.
Tao Mu pondered for a moment, and changed Xiaopang's Weibo name to Chaoyang Masses.
Xiaopang: “…”
Xiaopang: "What kind of name is this? It's too unoriginal. I don't like it. Please change it for me."
"Really don't like it?" Seeing Xiao Pang nodded affirmatively, Tao Mu expressed deep regret. This name is so majestic, plain, yet terrifying, full of mystery and crowd wisdom. In later generations, it is estimated that only "delivery rider" can be compared to it. Unfortunately, the difference in aesthetic tastes over a decade made it impossible for Xiaopang to comprehend Tao Mu's profound meaning. Tao Mu could only change his Weibo nickname again under the urging of his childhood friend——
The melon-eating official!
Xiaopang stroked his chin and smacked his hands for a while, thinking that this name was not bad, at least it could slightly reflect his reserved and ambitious character.
Da Mao was very interested: "Where's mine?"
Tao Mu didn't even have to think about it this time, and directly typed the words "There is a young man with a mine at home" on the computer.
Damao felt that this name revealed his identity in a low-key, accurate and meaningful way, and he was very satisfied with it.
But after all this commotion, it was already late. The three of them hurried to the crew, but as soon as they went out, it started raining heavily. The sudden rain and strong winds soaked the three people like drowned rats. Then the clouds and fog dissipated - a heavy rain fell during the time Tao Mu walked from home to the crew. Nothing was wasted.
Such perfect bad luck made Tao Mu feel a little uneasy. Once again, I recalled the vicious cycle of fate that continued after I returned to the Shen family in my previous life, influenced by Shen Yu.
As expected, as soon as Tao Mu entered the crew, he saw Shen Yu surrounded by everyone in the crowd, and the Shen family who sent Shen Yu back to the crew.
The Shen family, who had always pampered Shen Yu, were so reluctant to part with their well-behaved little son that they ignored their work and studies and took a special plane to send Shen Yu back to H Film and Television City from Shanghai, under the pretext of visiting Shen Yu on set.
The richest man in Shanghai came to the crew, and the whole crew was excited. A large group of people surrounded the Shen family, and it was as if ordinary people had seen the emperor and his family traveling incognito.
Director Chen Yiqian, who always has the final say in the crew, also flattered Shen's father subtly. Shen Yu's performance was praised as spiritual and he played the leading actor in his true colors. He also said that the Shen family had harmonious relationships, unlike some big families who were only harmonious on the surface. Of course, there are more people praising Shen Yu's outstanding talent in various ways. The tone and expression were exactly the same as when a subordinate praises the leader's children in front of his boss about how smart they are.
But the Shen family still buys into this. When they heard people praising their baby, their expressions became much happier than usual. Shen Yuze, who was held in the center of the crowd, held the arms of Shen's father and mother, smiling shyly. Her eyes and eyebrows are full of liveliness and cuteness.
Tao Mu glanced at the noisy crowd from a distance and was about to hide in the dressing room. Unexpectedly, Shen Yu in the crowd had already seen him, waving his arms and shouting, "Tao Mu, Tao Mu, this way."
As he said that, he ran out of the crowd and grabbed Tao Mu's arm: "Let me introduce my family to you. I told them that you are very good, handsome, good at kung fu, and your moves are very beautiful. They all like you very much."
Shen Yu dragged Tao Mu in front of the Shen family, put his arm around Tao Mu's shoulders, looked like a good brother, and said with a smile: "Dad, Mom, big brother, sister, this is Tao Mu. How about it, am I right, isn't he very handsome and powerful? And he looks like big brother! Aren't these eyes very beautiful?"
Perhaps Shen Yu’s only regret is that he looks nothing like anyone in his family. He is handsome and cute, with round eyes, and looks delicate, likable and amiable. Most of the Shen family members have double-eyes with narrow and long eyes and upturned eye corners. When they smile, their eyes are moving and bright. When they are serious, they look arrogant, solemn, cold and unyielding, and particularly imposing. Shen Yu was so envious. It's a pity that he didn't pass it down.
Everyone in the Shen family looked at Shen Yu with a smile, their expressions full of doting and indulgence. When it came to Tao Mu, they smiled politely and amiably with a hint of condescending scrutiny that only close people could detect. The Shen family has a strong background, and Shen Yu has an innocent and kind personality, with an absolutely pure heart towards people and things. Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that some cunning people will deliberately approach Shen Yu. Especially in a complex environment like the entertainment industry. The Shen family is wealthy and powerful, so they are not afraid of anyone approaching Shen Yu to ask for favors. As long as these people have no bad intentions towards Shen Yu, they will just spend some money to find playmates for Shen Yu.
Having tortured each other for ten years in the previous life, Tao Mu knew exactly what the Shen family was thinking. Before he died, Tao Mu became jealous and crazy when he thought of the Shen family's love and favoritism towards Shen Yu, and his heart ached as if it was bleeding. Otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted to die with his life intact, and would not have committed suicide by jumping off the building in front of Shen Yu's family at Shen Yu's wedding.
After living a new life and seeing such a scene again, Tao Mu originally thought that he should be used to it. But to his surprise, the emotions that had been calm when he recalled the dream over and over again suddenly began to stir violently.
Grievances, resentments, dissatisfaction, resentment... the violent emotional fluctuations were like a tide that almost overwhelmed him. Tao Mu clenched his fists calmly, repeatedly restraining himself, and finally suppressed the emotions that almost wanted to rebel.
No, Shen Yu and those people from his previous life have had too much influence on him.
Tao Mu knew very well that this kind of emotional fluctuation was probably not his real emotion. But it comes from... Tao Mu looked at Shen Yu calmly, shrouded by the halo of the plot? ! Just like when he encountered Shen Yu in his previous life, he was like a mad bull with red eyes, completely losing his reason and IQ.
No, we have to stay away from Shen Yu and his gang!
Not wanting to repeat the hysterical and deserted life of his previous life, Tao Mu lowered his eyebrows and made up his mind quietly.
Just as Tao Mu was making his decision secretly, the onlookers in the crew looked at Tao Mu with strange faces, who was expressionless and allowed to be looked at, and then turned to the Shen family who were looking at Tao Mu calmly. None of them had seen the Shen family before, so they didn't think much of it. But now that the two sides have met, anyone with eyes can see that Tao Mu is indeed very similar to the Shen family. Especially when compared with the eldest young master of the Shen family who stood aside and remained silent, the two people's eyebrows and temperament were exactly the same. No one would doubt that they are brothers.
No wonder the young master of the Shen family kept saying that Tao Mu looked like his eldest brother, they really do!
What a pity that people have different fates!
This kind of sigh has been coming from everyone since Shen Yu’s birthday yesterday, and now there is another wave. I always feel that this little orphan without parents has a special connection with the Shen family.
Mother Shen looked at Tao Mu for a few times, and felt that this child was indeed destined to be with their Shen family. She smiled and said, "It's true that they look alike. You are Xiao Mu, right? This time when the baby came home, he talked about you to us every day, saying that you and he had the same birthday. You are so destined to be together, you must get along well. "
Shen Yu was so angry that he kept jumping up and down: "Mom, I've told you so many times not to call me baby. I'm grown up now, don't call me baby anymore. If you call me baby again, I'll be angry."
Chen Yan hugged the frustrated little kitten brother into her arms, rubbed his head with a smile, turned her head and said to Tao Mu: "Baby also said that he wanted to sign you into the company -"
Before he finished speaking, Tao Mu said calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, Master Shen, but I was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, and the school stipulates that students cannot take on roles before their junior year. Besides, I'm from Beijing, and I'll spend more time in Kyoto in the future. The Shen family's agency is in Shanghai, which is inconvenient."
As we all know, the Shen family's agency was hastily established when Shen Yu wanted to enter the circle for fun. He also specially poached a well-known gold medal agent from the industry, along with his entire team, with the purpose of taking care of Shen Yu and making sure he would not be bullied by those bad people outside. It can be said that this agency is destined to operate around Shen Yu's will. From a common sense perspective, it would be difficult for other artists to develop if they signed with such a company. After all, no one can tell whether the young master of the Shen family will lose interest and quit the circle one day. So from a professional perspective, Tao Mu's refusal was neither arrogant nor humble, and it was reasonable and well-founded, and it was obvious that he was serious at first glance.
Shen Yan paused slightly and said nothing.
Tao Mu took advantage of the situation and withdrew from the crowd. Before entering the dressing room, he was stopped by Shen Yu's agent.
Wen Shijin smiled gently and looked at the young man in front of him with deep eyes. I always feel that Tao Mu has changed a lot after not seeing him for a few days. It’s not that there’s any change in appearance, but in the bones.
Thinking of the video that Director Chen showed him, Wen Shijin's heart moved slightly. If I say that I was helpless because of Shen Yu's pestering before, now I feel a little more excited about seeing the prey.
"You really don't want to sign with Shen's agency? You have to know that although this company was tailor-made for Shen Yu, since they poached me, I will definitely make the company bigger and stronger. And with my connections and abilities, no matter if the company's headquarters is located in Shanghai or Beijing, as long as I want to support you, I can always help you get better resources. What do you think, do you want to consider it?"
What to consider? Give you another chance to betray me?
Cherish your IQ and stay away from plot characters!
Tao Mu looked at the high-spirited Wen Shijin coldly: "Mr. Wen is looking for me, so he must have something important to tell me, right?"
Wen Shijin was stunned when he saw Tao Mu, who was calm and collected. In his impression, Tao Mu is not of this kind of personality. He should be the kind of person who would grab the opportunity he sees and climb up at all costs. He is smooth and good at scheming. Now... could this be a case of playing hard to get?
Hearing this, Jin sneered and raised his eyebrows: "You know I have something to talk to you about? Then why don't you guess, what do I want to talk to you about?"
"The fight scene yesterday was pretty good, wasn't it?" Although it was a question, Tao Mu used a declarative tone: "You want to make Shen Yu famous, so you can make a fuss about yesterday's fight scene. You came to me, probably because you want to sign a confidentiality agreement with me, and then publicize that this fight scene was done by Shen Yu himself."
Wen Shijin chuckled and looked at Tao Mu with a little appreciation: "You are really smart. Don't worry, as long as you are willing to cooperate, you will definitely not be treated unfairly in terms of compensation. And..."
Hearing this, Jin hesitated for a moment. He came to negotiate with Tao Mu, originally intending to use signing Tao Mu's company as one of the conditions. Unfortunately, Tao Mu has made it clear that he does not want to join the company. Wen Shijin naturally wouldn't use this bargaining chip to argue again: "I can introduce you to other crews, at least the third male lead."
"I refuse."
Wen Shijin frowned: "You don't have to do this. You are a smart person, you should know that agreeing to this will not harm you."
"I just don't want you to do useless work." Tao Mu looked at Wen Shijin and said calmly: "I can sign a confidentiality agreement here. But there is one person who will never cooperate with you."
Wen Shijin was stunned when he heard this, and then reacted: "Are you talking about Shen Yu?"
Tao Mu said nothing.
Wen Shijin chuckled: "Then you worry too much. Shen Yu is a very obedient child."
"That's because you don't know him well enough." Tao Mu pushed open the door of the dressing room: "People like Shen Yu will never take credit for other people's work."
In his previous life, Tao Mu's martial arts moves were not so skillful and beautiful, but Wen Shijin still had some thoughts. Tao Mu was moved by the conditions given by Wen Shijin, and even though he was unwilling, he still agreed to Wen Shijin's proposal. Unexpectedly, when reporters visited the set for an interview, Shen Yu admitted in front of everyone that it was Tao Mu who did this set of movements. He only posed a few times in front of the camera.
Tao Mu only then realized that Shen Yu had already planned this. The reason why I didn't say anything when signing the contract was just to let Tao Mu make more money. Anyway, it was Shen Yu himself who told the truth in the end. Tao Mu only needed to keep silent according to the contract and get the money. No one could hold him responsible.
Living a new life, Tao Mu didn't want to accept Shen Yu's charity, so he naturally had to point out the matter directly.
