Luo Yang was not the only one who was amazed by the silence.
“Snap! Snap! Snap!”
Crisp applause rang out on the set, first from a single person, and then the entire crew seemed to be infected. Suddenly, the entire crew burst into applause. The people in the props group almost forgot about Luo Yang's difficulties. The prop master in charge of the wire harness put Tao Mu down carefully, and several life assistants of the crew rushed up, some putting on clothes, some wiping their hair. He really treated Tao Mu, the martial arts stunt double, as an actor.
Tao Mu, who had been sprayed with fire hoses for more than four hours, could hardly stand. He supported the sword with one hand, his body was trembling slightly from exhaustion, and he was breathing slightly with his lips tightly closed. Those dark eyes were surprisingly bright. The wet black hair stuck to his face, making Tao Mu's outline look even paler and more handsome. However, the growing hostility between his brows offset this trace of weakness and embarrassment, making him look even more heroic.
Even though he looked so tired, his thin back was still straight, his tall body was slender and handsome. That cold, indifferent, and proud look...it makes one want to hold him in one's arms and ravage him at will.
Not knowing what he was thinking of, Luo Yang's eyes darkened, his Adam's apple moved up and down slightly, and he felt his mouth dry.
"Remember to send me the video!" Luo Yang, who felt as if electric currents were running through his body, gave a hasty order and turned around abruptly without waiting for Director Chen's response.
The anticlimax was so puzzling.
However, Director Chen was too lazy to figure out what was wrong with the eldest son of the Luo family. He stretched out his hand to beckon Tao Mu, smiling kindly as if he was looking at a rare treasure: "Xiao Mu, I'm sorry for what happened today. You must be tired, go take a hot bath. I'll give you a day off this afternoon. Go back and have a good rest, and make up for the footage tomorrow."
After a pause, Chen Yiqian couldn't help but said excitedly: "It's so beautiful!"
Director Chen is convinced that with this set of moves, Shen Yu, the male lead, will surely be loved by many female audiences after the show is broadcast! Thinking of this, Chen Yiqian looked at Tao Mu with a little regret.
"Thank you, Director." Tao Mu panted slightly and said in a low voice.
"The young man is very good!" Chen Yiqian patted Tao Mu's shoulder, thought for a moment, and said, "Try hard and persevere. I believe you will become famous."
He has such a face, such kung fu, and most importantly, he is very smart - he knows when to explode and when to endure. It would be unfair if he couldn't make it in the circle with such conditions.
Director Chen's eyes flickered, and he obviously knew about the little things between Tao Mu and his casting director. However, although Fatty Liu has some flaws in his character, his work ability is still good.
Tao Mu refused the help of his life assistant and walked out of the set exhausted. Aside from the RVs of a few leading actors, there are actually no bathrooms in the dressing rooms. Tao Mu took off his wet costume, dried his body with the towel his assistant had just given him, changed into his jeans, and was about to put on his shirt when someone knocked on the dressing room door.
Tao Muguang opened the door with his upper body naked. Ye Yao and her agent Sister Hong, who were standing outside the door, looked up and saw a white and glowing chest, beautiful six-pack abs and a sexy waistline.
Oh my god, my nose is bleeding!
Ye Yao's first reaction was to cover her nose, her eyes still glowing green as she stared at Tao Mu.
Tao Mu had no interest in this woman who had caused him to suffer an unexpected disaster. He raised his eyebrows and asked indifferently, "What's the matter?"
"Ah? Oh!" Ye Yao came back to her senses, her cheeks slightly red, and said shyly: "I came to thank you. If you hadn't stood up today, I might have really been kicked out of the crew by Luo."
"How do you want to thank me?"
"Ah?" Ye Yao didn't expect Tao Mu to react like this, and was stunned for a moment.
Tao Mu's head was splitting after being hit by the water gun, and his endurance was much lower than usual. Naturally, he didn't want to pay attention to Ye Yao's seemingly cute but actually stupid reaction, and he was about to close the door.
"Hey, wait!" Ye Yao put her hand against the door and said with a flattering smile, "Sister Hong wants to sign you!"
Ye Yao’s agent? Tao Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked calmly at the mature lady in a black OL suit standing behind Ye Yao.
When Sister Hong first arrived on the set, she had felt Tao Mu's charm in filming fighting scenes, and she also knew that Tao Mu had a pretty face. But the visual impact you feel when you watch from a distance is very different from that when you get close to it.
At least the hormones that came to her face, and the aura that lingered around Tao Mu, which was different from the aggressiveness of boys of the same age, the indifferent, sexy and somewhat cynical aura, were enough to make any woman with normal aesthetics go weak in the knees.
"You're coughing," Sister Hong realized something was wrong as soon as she opened her mouth, and her voice changed a little due to the stimulation. She had to clear her throat and adjust herself: "I'm Qin Dynasty Entertainment's agent Wan Meihong, you can call me Sister Hong. I believe you must have heard of our company. If you are willing to join Qin Dynasty Entertainment, I promise that I will convince the company to support you."
Tao Mu had certainly heard of Qin Dynasty Entertainment. It’s a pity that Qin Shihuang conquered the six kingdoms and unified the world. The fact that he gave his company such a name is enough to show how ambitious Qin Dynasty Entertainment is. Unfortunately, Tao Mu knew that in two years, Qin Dynasty Entertainment would fall apart due to internal strife among the top management, many big-name artists would leave one after another, and the company would never recover.
"Of course I've heard of Qin Dynasty Entertainment. But I've been admitted to Beijing Film Academy, and according to school regulations, students are not allowed to take on roles without permission while in school. So I have no plans to sign with an agency yet."
A cold but slightly hoarse voice sounded in Sister Hong's ears, like the whispers between lovers. The handsome boy had his upper body naked, but his expression did not have the youthful and cheerful look that a teenager should have. He looked a little exhausted, probably because he had just taken off his hood. His wet short hair was a little messy. Tiny drops of water flowed down his hair to the tip of his nose, and then slid down with the force of gravity, passing over his pale lips, his sexy chin, and falling onto his chest. The vivid appearance made even Sister Hong, who claimed to be well-informed, feel a little dizzy.
At this moment, Wan Meihong clearly realized that the boy in front of her had absolutely sufficient capital.
We have to sign this person. Sister Hong's eyes sparkled. It was rare to see an actor like Tao Mu in the mainland who was full of hormones and yet had a fragile temperament. He had the talents and qualities that an excellent actor must have in front of the camera. The most important thing was his face. While being overly handsome, his expressiveness was not diminished at all in front of the camera. Wan Meihong believed that as long as the operation was done properly, Tao Mu could definitely become an overnight sensation or even a huge star.
Wan Meihong even imagined that she would become a top domestic agent with the help of Tao Mu. Her red lips outlined a perfect arc, and Wan Meihong looked at Tao Mu with burning eyes, full of determination to win.
"You don't have to worry about these things. If you agree to let me be your agent, I will communicate these matters with the school."
Wan Meihong vowed, but she didn't know that Tao Mu had no intention of signing a contract with Qin Dynasty Entertainment. The information between the two sides was not equal, so the more Wan Meihong cared, the more Tao Mu was careless, and even a little uninterested. The expression between his brows was so sexy that it made people want to push him into bed.
"But I don't want to violate the school rules." Tao Mu said firmly. He leaned against the door and glanced at Sister Hong indifferently: "You dare to come over?"
Sister Hong turned around suddenly and saw Zhao Keping walking towards her with a smile on his face, followed by Mu Huating who hung his head and looked reluctant.
Sister Hong's heart sank, and she intuitively felt that Zhao Keping was also here to persuade Tao Mu to sign the contract.
"Mr. Tao, you're joking. With your upbringing and temperament, how could you do such a thing?" Zhao Keping glanced at Tao Mu's face and body without leaving a trace. He had to admit that the boy in front of him was indeed very capable, and it was worth his painstaking efforts to persuade Mu Huating: "In fact, I brought Huating here to let him apologize to you. What happened today was all because of his impulsiveness, which implicated you."
Before Tao Mu could speak, Ye Yao, who was standing beside him, suddenly snorted coldly, and said sarcastically: "I don't think so. He was not impulsive at all, he was obviously deliberate. He is really a disgusting villain."
Mu Huating's face darkened and he glared at Ye Yao.
"What? You still don't accept it?" Ye Yao was not willing to be outdone.
Sister Hong, who has always been strict with Ye Yao, stood aside without saying a word. She was also quite fed up with what happened today. However, the main reason why she allowed Ye Yao to squeeze Mu Huating was to arouse Tao Mu's hatred of the enemy. After all, Tao Mu suffered a lot because of Mu Huating. Young people don’t know how to manage their emotions and always like to vent their anger on others.
Unfortunately, Sister Hong made a wrong calculation. Not to mention Tao Mu who had lived a new life, even in his previous life, Tao Mu, who was only eighteen years old, had never been impulsive. For someone who grew up in an orphanage, indulging emotions is a luxury. If he has that much free time, he might as well take on another job.
"So, how are you going to apologize?" Wan Meihong glanced at Mu Huating, then turned to Zhao Keping and said with a half-smile, "You're not just going to express it verbally, are you?"
It's too obvious that he was trying to sow discord. Mu Huating subconsciously looked at Zhao Keping.
Zhao Keping smiled calmly and said, "How could that be? In fact, I came here just to sign Tao Mu into Xiaxing Entertainment."
Zhao Keping looked at Tao Mu: "You should have heard of Xia Xing, right? Last year's Golden Crow Award winners were all promoted by our company. If you are willing to sign Xia Xing, I will also convince the company to strongly promote you."
Tao Mu lowered his eyebrows calmly. In his previous life, he didn’t make it and ended up being forgotten on the set like a dead dog, in a miserable state. In this life, I have become a popular commodity that is fought over by others.
"I was admitted to Beijing Film Academy, and I don't want to join any agency in the short term." Tao Mu's eyes were cold. In this life, he doesn't want to put his fate and future in the hands of others. He doesn't trust anyone, including his agency.
Tao Mu turned back to the dressing room and picked up the white shirt draped over the back of the chair. A cheap high school uniform might look sloppy on someone else. Tao Mu was dressed stylishly. His slender fingers fastened the second button on his chest, revealing his delicate collarbone, and the lines of his chest muscles and arms were faintly visible. She looks like a model ready to walk the runway at any moment.
Not only is he handsome, he's also a natural clothes hanger.
Sister Hong and Zhao Keping, both agents with a keen sense of smell, both brightened up their eyes at the same time. Zhao Keping slapped Mu Huating on the back of the head. Mu Huating was angry but dared not say anything. He apologized again: "I'm sorry about what happened today. I was too impulsive at the time. I just wanted to avenge you for breaking my finger."
All the words were taught to him by Zhao Keping, and he was really a villain but he acted openly and honestly.
Tao Mu sneered. It was not surprising that this idiot could be trained by Zhao Keping to become a straight man who was honest, frank and silent.
There was a chaotic sound of running and shouting outside the dressing room. Da Mao and Xiao Pang, who had been dragged outside the crew by the casting director and several martial artists, finally ran back. They circled around Tao Mu like little puppies: "Brother Mu, how are you?"
"Brother Mu, are you okay?"
Both of them were very excited. They were asking Tao Mu about his well-being while glaring at Mu Huating. They couldn't hide their thoughts of beating him with a sack. Tao Mu gave them a look, and Da Mao and Xiao Pang, who were about to curse, immediately stopped talking.
"I'm really sorry, I'm a little tired today, I want to go back and rest." Tao Mu said with a weary look in his eyes. He had no intention of pretending to be nice to the two well-known agents in the industry. He said directly: "As for the signing, if you really want to, let's talk about it when I'm a junior."
According to the school rules of Beijing Film Academy, students can take on acting jobs freely in their junior year.
Tao Mu's words were not completely used to evade Zhao Keping and Wan Meihong. He really planned to follow the school rules of Beijing Film Academy and finish his freshman and sophomore years in an orderly manner, and it would be best if he could get a scholarship. Because Beijing Film Studio will cooperate with a national department to shoot a drama in two years. After its release, the film grossed over 700 million yuan at the box office, becoming the runner-up in the domestic box office rankings that year. The leading actor and supporting actor won the Golden Crow Awards for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor respectively, which can be said to be a double harvest of word-of-mouth and box office.
The most important thing is that in order to encourage students to study hard during school, Beijing Film Academy strongly recommended a large number of outstanding students to the crew when selecting actors. Among them, the actor who played the male lead was Liang Chenyi, a junior student who was strongly recommended by Beijing Film Academy. Liang Chenyi did not disappoint everyone's expectations. Through this drama, he became the most dazzling new star in the domestic entertainment industry. He then successfully entered the Beijing circle and his network of contacts soared.
In his new life, Tao Mu's goal is not just to be an actor. And since he was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, he naturally didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.
