"Ahhh, ahhhh, the beauty of West Lake in March, the spring rain is like wine and the willows are like smoke..."
That night, Tao Mu returned to the dormitory with the script. At Du Kang's strong request, he took three roommates from Dormitory 301 and more than 20 students from Class 1 of Beijing Film Academy in 2008 to go clubbing at night. In Du Kang's words, Tao Mu had to treat everyone to a meal to celebrate since he had accepted such a script. Of course, whether the fundamental reason was that Du Kang was afraid that Tao Mu would scare him by putting on a facial mask at midnight, only Du Kang himself knew.
Tao Mu had been eating very well recently. When he entered the private room, he subconsciously called Wen Juxiang to order food. Ordered a table of mutton hotpot. Wen Bao's father cooked the meal himself and asked the waiter to bring the charcoal hot pot over. Wen Bao was delighted when he saw this: "Eating lamb ribs and singing karaoke, you really know how to have fun, brother."
"I'm worried that you'll get hungry from singing later. Let's eat while we sing." Anyway, the private room is big enough.
Several boys immediately clapped and whistled to show their support. There is a Chinese saying that goes, "A young boy can eat his father out of house and bankrupt him." Even boys majoring in acting cannot resist physical needs. Besides, the living environment of male actors in the entertainment industry is relatively better than that of female actors. It doesn’t matter if they are fatter, thinner, taller, shorter, or even uglier. As long as they have good acting skills and a wide network of contacts, they can always find roles to play. So they are not afraid of having midnight snacks, and even enjoy eating them with great joy. At night, beer was carried up in bundles, and a few boys could finish seven or eight boxes of beer.
Girls can't do that. I have to consider weight management, so I don’t dare to eat too much. Looks so greedy. You should know that Wen Juxiang's mutton hotpot is a time-honored brand in Yanjing. Usually a plate of meat costs seventy or eighty yuan, and the average consumption per person is over two hundred yuan. In 2009, most students could not afford this level of consumption. So the girls felt particularly conflicted about this meal. I am afraid of getting fat, but I don’t want to waste the opportunity. I could only pick out the cabbage, mushrooms, fish balls and shrimp balls from the pot to eat. Eating a piece of mutton was like eating poison, and I didn't even dare drink a bottle of wine.
Du Kang was watching with difficulty: "I think you might as well have a good meal. At worst, you can start losing weight from tomorrow."
"Don't keep criticizing us!" The girls were not convinced and deliberately teased, "Du Kang, half of the semester has already passed. Apart from the AA arrangement during our gatherings, you have never treated everyone to a meal. Isn't that a bit mean?"
"Yeah. Didn't you take nearly three thousand yuan from the last filming of The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood? And you didn't even bother to treat everyone to a meal." A boy agreed with a smile: "Why don't you just settle today's bill?"
"I don't have any money!" Du Kang blurted out, crying poor. "Besides, we're going to sing karaoke and eat mutton hotpot today. With so many of us, it'll cost at least 10,000 yuan a night. Only a big boss like us can afford such a big expense. And you're asking me to pay the bill. Look at all the clothes I'm wearing, isn't it worth 500 yuan?"
"Tsk!" Du Kang's words were met with ridicule from everyone. But no one refuted Du Kang's words. After all, Tao Mu is a rich man who can invest 9 million in the crew after being fooled by others. He is different from these poor students.
The reason why Tao Mu can get so much support in Beijing Film Academy is that he can invite all his classmates to dinner late at night without missing a single one. In addition to Tao Mu's good popularity, there is also the reason that he invested in the crew himself. Although college students living in ivory towers have not yet been exposed to society, they have not been infected with too many utilitarian habits. But the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm is still there in human nature. Tao Mu has money and can be an investor, and as an investor he can stuff these classmates into the crew.
Who among actors doesn’t want to act in movies? But I can't look for Tao Mu when filming, I usually ignore him. Besides, Tao Mu has a good personality. Every time he invites everyone out to play, he won't brag too much about himself or let everyone flatter him. The students all felt very comfortable and at ease. Some girls even secretly wanted to spend more time with Tao Mu.
But Tao Mu is not open-minded at all when it comes to emotions. All keen senses are focused on business investment.
"By the way, I heard you're going to set up a film and television company?" After three rounds of drinks, everyone was drunk and singing happily. Wen Bao put a plate of tripe in his mouth and asked casually, "Does your company sign artists? Or is it like some studios that only promote yourself?"
Wen Bao's plan was that if Tao Mu's film and television company wanted to sign someone, he would just sign them directly with Tao Mu's company. He doesn't care whether it would be awkward if his classmate became his boss, as long as there is a role to play. Moreover, Tao Mu's vision in selecting books is very reliable. The most important thing is that Tao Mu is not the kind of person who would only draw all the resources to himself. This can be seen from his investment in the crew of "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood".
As they were roommates, Wen Bao was quite confident in Tao Mu's character. I believe Tao Mu won't cheat him. Nor will they go against his wishes and make him take on some messy dramas just to make money for the company.
Therefore, Wen Bao had thought carefully about signing with Tao Mu's company after Tao Mu established it.
After these words were spoken, the originally lively dinner table fell into silence. All the students subconsciously put down their chopsticks and looked at Tao Mu. There were also a few students who were less sophisticated, and expressions of embarrassment, consideration, and hesitation suddenly appeared on their faces.
Wen Bao suddenly came back to his senses. Only then did he remember that this was not their dormitory and he had been speaking too casually. He himself doesn't care, but he's afraid that others may think so. For example, they misunderstood that he was the first to come out and deliberately dragged other people to sign with Tao Mu's company. In fact, he really didn't mean that.
Before Wen Bao could come up with a proper answer, Tao Mu calmly took over the conversation: "It hasn't even started yet. My father Yao hasn't even gotten the formalities done yet. You are well-informed."
Wen Bao immediately laughed and said, "I heard it from my dad too. My dad heard it from the old man."
Chu Suian, who was always mean, immediately changed the subject and drew everyone's attention to Du Kang: "I'm talking about you. We've known each other for such a long time. Don't complain about being poor to us. Your clothes are worthless, but your muscles are pretty good. At worst, you can sell your body to pay for it. I think with your looks, you can definitely be a top star in Yese."
"Yo~~~~" Everyone immediately clapped their hands, cheered, and whistled.
Finally got this matter over with.
The noise continued until about three in the morning, when the group finally walked out exhausted and took a taxi back to school. Tao Mu was too lazy to bother, so he went straight into the boss's office on the top floor of Ye Se, pushed open the rest room set up by Liu Yao in the office, took a shower despite the discomfort, and fell asleep on the bed.
The next day was Sunday and there were no classes. Tao Mu studied the script at home for a day. Although he had played the exact same role in his previous life, he still had a lot of different ideas after reading the script again.
Tao Mu took a notebook and wrote a biography of the characters while reading the script. Tao Mu has always been serious about his work. After the release of "Black and White" in his previous life, he went online to read magazines and looked for comments from all film critics and netizens. Apart from the meaningless reviews, some of which are either praising or criticizing, there are indeed many people whose analyses are worth learning from.
In addition, Tao Mu also wanted to go to the police academy in Xiangcheng to experience it for a while.
The system in Hong Kong is different from that in the mainland, including the police organization, daily training and etiquette, which are all very different. When Tao Mu played the role of Zhou Yuanting in his previous life, many Xiangcheng netizens responded that Zhou Yuanting's role did not look like a Xiangcheng policeman at all. Instead, it looks a lot like Young and Dangerous.
This was mainly because Tao Mu was not able to do field research in his previous life, and he had no idea what the Xiangcheng police looked like. Even the Young and Dangerous part was learned from watching movies. Fortunately, Tao Mu was playing an undercover agent at the time, so it didn't look so out of place.
Now think about it, Tao Mu had no experience in filming in front of the camera at that time. He was not a professional actor and had only worked as a stuntman a few times. He relied on his status as the son of the Shen family to grab the role. In fact, at that time he was indeed not as good as Shen Yu, who had played the leading and supporting roles in several films. No wonder the entire crew excluded him because of this incident. In addition, he deliberately targeted Shen Yu during the filming, and was deliberately suppressed by the movie emperor Yan Sheng, so his overall performance was not ideal.
However, that was Tao Mu's first role in front of the camera, and he was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at the Golden Crow Awards for that role. Therefore, Tao Mu's feelings towards the character of Zhou Yuanting are still different. Every time he reviewed the film, Tao Mu felt sorry for his performance. He felt that if he had focused more on studying the script and the character, he would have been able to more deeply explore the contradictions and tragedy of the character of Zhou Yuanting. If his acting skills are good enough, he can show more delicate expressions and actions, and the complexity of the character can be interpreted more completely and three-dimensionally.
Tao Mu has always believed that the role of Zhou Yuanting can be portrayed in a more classic and impressive way. Rather than the thin image that has already been frozen on the big screen.
It’s no wonder that the director and production team of “Black and White” were so averse to him. It was really Tao Mu himself who let down such a good character.
In this life, Tao Mu has a chance to start over again. He just wanted to treat Zhou Yuanting with caution. So he not only carefully studied the script and wrote biographies of the characters, he also contacted the Royal Police Academy in Hong Kong, hoping to use his weekends to go to the school for some experience.
If an ordinary person, or an ordinary actor, made such a request, the Hong Kong Royal Police Academy would certainly not agree. But Tao Mu was different. As the founder of Feixun.com, and especially a capital tycoon worth more than 1 billion M gold and a partner of Xiaoheng Capital, Xiangcheng Royal Police Academy was naturally delighted to make such a request. I even hoped that after experiencing it, I could get some financial support from the big guys. Not only did they immediately agree to Tao Mu's request, they also took the initiative to suggest that if Tao Mu was interested, they could even train Tao Mu in the Flying Tigers for a period of time. Let Tao Mu's movements in front of the camera be more standardized and beautiful——
After learning about Tao Mu's background, the people at Xiangcheng Royal Police Academy also knew that Tao Mu had worked as a stunt double. When the movie "Black and White" was promoted in Hong Kong, it was also branded as a police and gangster film. It is conceivable that there will be a lot of action scenes and gun battles. The Royal Police Academy of Xiangcheng intuitively determined that Tao Mu would definitely go into battle himself instead of using a substitute.
This is a pleasant surprise. Tao Mu's eyes lit up, and he gladly accepted the kindness of the Xiangcheng Royal Police Academy.
So after Tao Mu hung up the phone, that night, the omnipresent paparazzi in Hong Kong immediately got the news that Tao Mu might be participating in "Black and White" and was going to experience life at the police academy before joining the crew. Many paparazzi also introduced Tao Mu's identity and background when reporting the news - the main focus was that Tao Mu founded Feixun.com and was also a partner of Xiaoheng Capital.
The crew of "Black and White" invited a number of big names from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong to participate in the performance. This is not news in Hong Kong. But the crew was able to get a big shot worth tens of billions of dollars to play a supporting role. This kind of news is even known in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, which is full of gossip. It's also worth paying attention to. After all, in the perception of the general public, people who can be a domineering president basically will not become an actor. But actors always want to play the role of a domineering president.
The domineering president in this reality is actually the opposite. It is indeed worthy of attention. What's more, this overbearing president worth tens of billions of dollars revealed by Hong Kong gossip paparazzi is only 19 years old this year. And looking at the photos, he is so handsome.
Don’t give others a chance to live?
In an instant, many people in Xiangcheng who didn't know Tao Mu or Feixun.com began to search for relevant news online. Some people even went to Feixun.com to register an account, and after browsing and reading gossip, they were also led to Danmu.com.
Then things got out of control.
But that’s all later.
It is said that the crew of "Black and White" is still preparing for the start of filming, negotiating the shooting schedule with a group of big names, and arranging the subsequent filming in an orderly manner. Before it even got to the stage of promotion, it was caught off guard and became a hot topic by its own paparazzi. When they saw the news, they were stunned.
I have heard before that the boss of Feixun.com is a man who can stir up blood and gore in the entertainment industry. In fact, the main reason why the crew of "Black and White" invited Tao Mu to play the role of Zhou Yuanting was because of Feixun.com, in addition to the fact that the director had seen Tao Mu dancing in H Town and felt that Tao Mu's image and temperament were very suitable for the role setting.
The crew of "Black and White" felt that by inviting Tao Mu to play Zhou Yuanting, Feixun.com could at least be of great help when the crew was promoting the show in the mainland. Besides, it wouldn't hurt for the crew to make more friends with investors like Tao Mu who are not short of money.
However, what they didn't expect was. Tao Mu is not only a man who can stir up blood and gore in the mainland entertainment circle, he is also not to be outdone in Xiangcheng!
