After the final performance, it’s winter vacation. That night, Tao Mu and a group of classmates played in the dark until late at night. The next morning, everyone staggered to their feet from the corners of the private room. It was like the set of The Walking Dead.
"Brother Mu, you're awake." All the employees of Ye Se knew the relationship between Tao Mu and the two bosses. Tao Mu brought his classmates to play last night, and Brother Yao even made a special phone call to tell them to take good care of Tao Mu's classmates.
So last night, after Tao Mu's classmates had a great time, they crawled around everywhere. It was the employees of Ye Se who dug them out from every nook and cranny and sent them back to the box opened by Tao Mu. Otherwise, it’s okay for boys, but girls might be picked up by others.
"Be more careful next time!"
The employees of Ye Se were all experienced people, so they could naturally tell that some of Tao Mu's classmates were probably coming to a nightclub for the first time in their lives, and they were so excited that they didn't care. It's okay here, but if I go somewhere else, I'm afraid I'll suffer losses.
"There's no breakfast shop nearby. If you want to have breakfast, go to the kitchen and make it yourself. Or go back to school to eat. I won't accompany you." Manager Ye Se, who was talking to Tao Mu, yawned. He didn't sleep all night last night, so it's time for him to go upstairs and rest.
"Thank you, Brother Ting."
Zhang Ting patted Tao Mu's shoulder, he was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes. As expected, when people get older, they lose their energy.
Tao Mu took out two packets of hangover medicine from the bar.
There are a total of twenty-five people in Class 1 of Beijing Film Academy in 2008. Tao Mu took seven taxis to send people back to school. I had another breakfast in the cafeteria. During this time, Tao Mu emphasized to remind the girls who were drunk and crawling around last night, and almost went to other boxes to act crazy. I told them about several examples of girls who lost their virginity in nightclubs and were taken advantage of by men who took nude photos and blackmailed them. The little girls were so frightened that they turned pale.
Tao Mu has a good memory and is thoughtful. He still remembered how many glasses of wine each girl in the class had drunk last night. Count them one by one in front of everyone. At last, he said, "Remember your limits. Be more restrained when you go out to play or hang out with friends. You all want to be big stars. Don't let this kind of thing ruin you. It's not worth it."
As he spoke, Tao Mu also told everyone a lot of examples of how men forced girls to drink at drinking parties, and even deliberately added ingredients to the drinks. In short, don't drink anything that has left your sight. Don't drink drinks or mineral water that have been opened by others.
"Don't think that it's considerate for a boy to help you unscrew the bottle cap." Tao Mu picked up a bottle of mineral water, took out the hangover medicine he had just brought back from the night, took out a piece and clamped it between his fingers, showing it to everyone. Then he unscrewed the bottle cap in full view of everyone. After he finished unscrewing it, he shook the bottle in front of everyone.
Only then did everyone realize that the hangover pill had fallen into the mineral water bottle at some point. There was an uproar.
Tao Mu took a sip of the mineral water mixed with medicine: "So, girls should pay attention to safety."
Glancing at the male compatriots who were standing in a pile of astonishment, he paused and added, "Of course, boys should also pay attention to safety."
"How can we be safe?" A group of children who had never seen the world suddenly went crazy. With a scared look on his face, he screamed, "This world is too dangerous. I won't dare go out to a bar anymore."
Tao Mu smiled: "If not, then go to Ye Se. Tell the manager my name. Ask them to take better care of me. Of course, there is no guarantee that everything will be perfect. The most important thing is for you to take care of yourself."
After giving some safety knowledge to a bunch of young boys and girls, Tao Mu threw the remaining hangover pills in his pocket to everyone: "Have you finished your meal? You took the hangover pills after breakfast. It's best to drink a glass of milk or honey water when you go back. Those who are catching a train or a plane later had better remember to buy motion sickness pills. You may get motion sickness if you are drunk."
A large group of people suddenly looked at Tao Mu, chirping like little sparrows that had just left the nest. Tao Mu patted them on the head and comforted them one by one, and then they went back to the dormitory to catch up on their sleep. After waking up, those who live in other places basically have to catch trains or planes.
Tao Mu, with his hands full of oil, did not return to the dormitory. He still remembered his promise that he would "dance in women's clothing if the number of registered users of Feixun.com exceeded 100 million". There are now more than 98 million registered users. Posts from netizens reminding him to fulfill his promise have been pinned to the top of Feixun.com's homepage.
Tao Mu had no intention of breaking his promise. So these days, Tao Mu has been practicing dancing secretly in private.
However, unlike what everyone imagined, Tao Mu did not dance any sexy, provocative or eye-catching dance, but one of the traditional Chinese classical dances - water sleeves.
Just in time for the Chinese New Year, Tao Mu even ordered a set of bright red costumes. Because when Tao Mu was a stand-in in H Town before, he specifically asked a dance teacher to teach him how to dance with water sleeves. It can be considered that he has some skills. In addition, since he was a man with great strength, the sleeves were made seven feet long.
On the first day of winter vacation, the originally bustling dance studio became quiet. Only Tao Mu himself, wearing a bright red costume and holding up seven-foot-long sleeves, practiced hard in front of the mirror for a whole day. Shake sleeves, throw sleeves, brush sleeves, toss sleeves, throw sleeves... hook, swing, rush, lift, dust, hit, pick...
Tao Mu is an extremely focused person. Can also be ruthless enough to endure hardship. Many people only pay attention to Tao Mu's good looks and acting talent. Every time he appears on stage, whether he interprets a role or dances or sings, he can surprise people with his level. But in fact, not many people paid attention to how long Tao Mu practiced secretly.
Including this final performance, everyone only paid attention to the fact that even though Tao Mu had taken half a semester off, he did not fall behind in the rehearsal of the big play. But in fact, few people noticed that after each rehearsal, when everyone went back to the dormitory to rest, chat and surf the Internet, Tao Mu still stayed in the rehearsal room to practice alone.
Except for Tao Mu's three roommates.
Just like what Wen Bao said when he teased Tao Mu, a person who is particularly burdened by being an idol is like a white swan floating on the water. You see him as being quite elegant and contented, but you don't notice how happily his two paws are flapping under the water.
Just like everyone only knew that Wen Bao's yangko dance during the final performance made a sensation at the Beijing Film Academy, no one cared that Wen Bao didn't know how to dance yangko at all before filming the final drama. It was because of a casual remark by Du Kang, a part-time director - he felt that dancing the yangge would fit in with Mother Ruan's character and set the tone for the atmosphere. So Wen Bao privately found videos and teachers and practiced hard for about half a month. Only then could a piece of yangko dance move everyone during the final performance.
There are a lot of talented people in this world. But the ones who can really make it in life are not those who have talent, but those who, in addition to talent, have to work ten or a hundred times harder than ordinary people.
“Crunch!”
The tightly closed door of the dance studio was pushed open. Wen Bao, a 1.75-meter-tall student, came in from outside the door, holding the lunch he bought from the cafeteria. There are Tao Mu's favorite mashed potatoes and roasted lamb legs.
"Still practicing! Let's eat first." Wen Bao walked barefoot to Tao Mu's side and sat on the ground: "Du Kang and Xiao Chuzi just left. I wanted to invite you out for lunch. But I was afraid of delaying your extra practice, so I didn't want to call you. Anyway, it's not like we won't see each other anymore."
No matter how good the relationship between men is, it will never be too sweet. Wen Bao handed Tao Mu's lunch box over: "What are your plans for the winter vacation? I mean, do you want to film?"
"Someone asked you to film a movie?" Tao Mu opened his chopsticks, poured the mashed potatoes into the rice and mixed them together, and said with a little disdain: "Why didn't you add some coriander for me?"
"It's in my pocket, put separately. I also put some green onions in it for you. There's no one here, so you can eat whatever you want. I don't mind your strong smell." Wen Bao saw that Tao Mu had been searching for it for a long time and couldn't find it, so he went over and took out the coriander bag and handed it to Tao Mu: "There is a crew who invited me to play a small supporting role. I guess the shooting time won't be long. It's an anti-Japanese war drama, and I play a traitor in it."
As soon as Wen Baoyi said this, Tao Mu suddenly remembered. That was indeed Wen Bao’s first play. It is an anti-Japanese war drama that stars many big names and is very reliable. Wen Bao played a minor supporting role with less than three episodes. I have the most scenes with the male lead and the second male lead.
The male lead is a well-known veteran actor in the industry, and the second male lead is a young actor promoted by Longteng Entertainment. As it turned out, when they were acting together, the male lead's parts with Wen Bao were okay. The two actors with superb acting skills performed together, and all the audiences who watched the show were thrilled. When it came to the episode with the second male lead, Wen Bao's acting skills crushed the second male lead so much that nothing was left. The laughter, anger and scolding were so natural that all the audiences immediately remembered the little traitor who appeared in less than three episodes.
Later, when this cowardly little traitor was killed by the enemy while trying to save the male protagonist, many viewers cried. When Tao Mu watched that scene for the first time, his eyes were also hot. I finally understand what acting is.
"Actually, I think your acting skills are better than Yan Sheng and Wang Boyuan." But for various reasons, even though Wen Bao won three Golden Horse Awards in his previous life, his influence and pay are far less than the former.
Wen Bao chuckled, "As for acting skills, I always think that it's a matter of opinion. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's good or not, as long as it's good enough. When acting, it's mainly about the role. We just act the way the role should act. I find that sometimes you think too much, so you overdo it."
When Tao Mu was acting, he sometimes worried that he wasn't acting well. But Wen Bao is not like that. He just acts, he acts the way the role requires him to act, with perfect balance and freedom of movement. He never deliberately suppresses other people's performances, nor does he suppress his own performance out of consideration for others. On the contrary, when he acts, he likes to bring others along with him. Therefore, when I act with Wen Bao, I often feel a very satisfying feeling.
Just like the last show in the final performance, everyone was led by Wen Bao. We had a lot of fun playing together.
"Actually, I think you were in a very good state during the final exam. Don't think about those things. You said you are such a rich boss. Why do you insist on acting instead of being a domineering CEO?" Wen Bao put his arm around Tao Mu's shoulder and patted him: "I think you should be the same as me. Just for fun. Since it's fun, let's play happily. Don't be afraid of others comparing you to someone else. In fact, think about it carefully, is it comparable?"
As they were all studying at Beijing Film Academy, Wen Bao had naturally heard rumors that Tao Mu's acting style was similar to that of someone else. He thought it didn't matter: "What does it matter if it looks like him or not? There's no trademark for this thing. It doesn't mean that just because your acting style is similar to someone else's, you have to pay him half of the salary for the movie you filmed."
Tao Mu smiled immediately. After laughing, he asked Wen Bao again: "Don't you think that sometimes when I act out something, I end up drawing a tiger but end up drawing a dog?"
Tao Mu was referring to his previous life, when no matter what role he played, there were fans of Shen Yu and Yan Sheng who scolded him like this. If Tao Mu humiliated himself in order to strike a blow at Shen Yu at the beginning, then in the end, he really couldn't change even if he wanted to.
Some things, some experiences, and some subtle influences have been integrated into our bones and blood. It seeps in bit by bit. If you want to pull it out, you have to peel off the skin and bones, and even replace the blood flowing in the body before you can be renewed.
"Who said that?" Wen Bao looked at their roommate solemnly, and put a little force on Tao Mu's shoulder: "I heard that you have a lot of idol baggage, but you still don't admit it. No one said that, only you think so. And I really don't think there is any similarity between your performance style and that of Yan Sheng. Especially the scene in the final exam... Mr. Yan is not as ugly as you played him." Of course, he is not as simple and natural as Tao Mu's performance.
"Get lost!" Tao Mu glared at Wen Bao unhappily. Did he really think that he didn't want to be an idol?
"Okay! Then I'm leaving. Just practice your dancing." Wen Bao packed up the plastic bags and lunch boxes after eating, and before leaving, he didn't forget to glare at Tao Mu with a sly look: "Hey, you know what. You look pretty good in women's clothes. Do you still have to dress up on the day of the video recording?"
Tao Mu looked at Wen Bao coldly, who was smiling with particularly bad intentions.
Wen Bao gave him a thumbs-up as he walked away: "Good, really good."
Before he could finish his words, a coat flew over his head. Tao Mu directly threw the down jacket on the ground onto Wen Bao's head. Wen Bao took off his coat and ran away. He ran out of the door and poked his head in again: "I'm here to tell you something serious. Do you think I should take this script or not?"
"catch!"
Before Tao Mu finished speaking, Wen Bao continued to ask: "There is also a traitor who studied abroad and returned to China. The director wants to choose you. But he is embarrassed to call you. He wants me to ask you...will you take the call?"
Tao Mu: "..." How could he be a traitor again!
