The two hands were tightly clasped and then separated at the first touch.
Yao Wenxiao put his right hand behind his back and rubbed his fingers with a little disgust.
Just as Shen Yu said, his visit to Beijing this time, in addition to accompanying Shen Yu to participate in this so-called national school beauty and school hunk selection event, also had an important purpose, which was to find a social platform to cooperate with.
However, unlike Shen Yu's wishful thinking, the partner Yao Wenxiao wanted was not Tao Mu's Feixun.com, but Weibo platform.
There are several reasons for this. For example, the capital behind the Weibo platform is strong, and Yao Wenxiao attaches more importance to the strength of Weibo. In Yao Wenxiao's opinion, although Feixun.com can always come up with some gimmicks to attract the attention of netizens from time to time, its strength is too weak. If it really competes head-on with Weibo, its chances of winning are too slim.
Scarves are different. No matter what innovative gimmicks Feixun.com comes up with, Weibo can always learn from Feixun.com's experience. Yao Wenxiao doesn't think there is anything wrong with learning from others. On the contrary, Yao Wenxiao believes that as long as one has the ability, the students can surpass their predecessors and create better publicity effects.
So in Yao Wenxiao's opinion, Tao Mu is a competent planner, but Feixun.com is not qualified to be his partner.
Of course these are just excuses. Putting aside these high-sounding principles of profit-first, only Yao Wenxiao himself knew that the most fundamental reason why he did not want to cooperate with Feixun.com was that he had a grudge against Feixun.com deep in his heart.
This grudge comes from Shen Yu's excessive concern for Tao Mu. Of course, another reason was that Tao Mu withheld the information he sent to Feixun Entertainment in a private message. This made Yao Wenxiao very dissatisfied. Later, Yao Wenxiao made inquiries and found out that Tao Mu and Luo Yang had a good relationship. He released the information he had sent to Feixun Entertainment, and used it as a bargaining chip to gain the favor of the Luo family and the strong support of Longteng Entertainment. Feixun.com now has the spare capacity to host this national school beauty and school hunk selection event.
——He was actually able to make peace with someone like Luo Yang just for the sake of profit.
Yao Wenxiao inquired in detail and naturally knew about Luo Yang's embarrassment of Tao Mu in H Town. He didn't expect Tao Mu to be such a vulgar person who would do anything for his own benefit and had no integrity at all. After learning the truth, Yao Wenxiao suddenly felt nauseous as if he had swallowed a fly.
Why would their Shen Yu want to make friends with such a person? Yao Wenxiao was indignant and looked down upon Tao Mu. I don't want to cooperate with this kind of person anymore.
However, in front of Shen Yu, Yao Wenxiao naturally wouldn't say anything. He also showed an attitude of "I am very optimistic about you". However, Yao Wenxiao's acting skills were not good. At least Tao Mu could clearly see Yao Wenxiao's disdain and contempt. Shen Yu, on the other hand, still wishfully believed that his friends and the people he favored could always get along well with each other, and he was very happy.
"By the way, I heard that Luo Yang was beaten by his father and is now in the hospital. Why don't we go over to see him?" Shen Yu felt that Luo Yang was also a good person, and they had a lot of fun when they were in Shanghai.
Shen Yan suddenly smiled, hugged Shen Yu and rubbed his hair: "My brother is so kind. He always thinks of friends he has met a few times. No wonder everyone likes you so much."
There is no doubt that these words were also said to Tao Mu.
Unfortunately, Tao Mu suffered from selective deafness and turned a deaf ear to Shen Yan's words.
"Luo Yang is hospitalized in the First People's Hospital. You'll know when you ask around in the hospital. I think he will be very happy to see you." Tao Mu waved at Shen Yu, very happy to have gotten rid of him so easily.
Shen Yu pouted and looked at Tao Mu somewhat unhappy. He also wanted to have a meal with Tao Mu.
"I'm not in a hurry. How about you take me around your school? I've never been to Beijing Film Academy. Are there a lot of big stars here?" Shen Yu looked at the Beijing Film Academy campus behind Tao Mu with curiosity. He also wanted to see Tao Mu's dormitory.
"I think acting is very fun now. If I had known earlier, I would have applied for Beijing Film Academy. We could still be classmates." Shen Yu sighed. He felt that the literature major he was studying now was particularly boring. Unlike Tao Mu——
"By the way, what do you study in the acting department? Do you usually act in plays or rehearse dramas? I really want to see Mumu act." Shen Yu talked a lot to himself, and then asked Tao Mu: "Who is the school idol chosen by your school? It must be you, right? It has to be you. If it's anyone else, I won't accept it."
"It's not me. This program was originally organized by Feixun.com, and it's not appropriate for me to be the school hunk. Besides, we at Beijing Film Academy don't value appearance. The school hunk chosen by everyone is a senior in the senior year who has excellent acting skills and is very talented. He won the Golden Crow Award for Best Actor for the first movie he made in his junior year. It's amazing." Tao Mu didn't want Shen Yu's irresponsible nonsense to draw hatred from him, so he explained very seriously.
Tao Mu was originally a prominent figure among the freshmen of 2008. He is handsome, has a good personality, takes great photos, and also created the cool Feixun.com. He is a textbook example of a domineering campus CEO male protagonist. Therefore, he was deeply favored by the female classmates of Beijing Film Academy and admired by the male classmates.
The Shen family blocked Tao Mu at the school gate and talked for such a long time, which naturally attracted the attention of the students coming and going. After hearing Shen Yu's extremely hateful and flattering remarks, many students just felt a little uncomfortable, but did not think deeply about it. After all, what Shen Yu said was true. Tao Mu was already very good, especially in terms of appearance - it was said that during the art exam interview, all three examiners gave him full marks.
But after hearing Tao Mu's explanation, all the students suddenly understood. They said that what Shen Yu said sounded a little wrong. That's right, Beijing Film Academy is not such a superficial school. They not only look at the face, but also pay more attention to acting skills and talent. The senior who was voted as the school hunk by everyone is the winner of the Golden Crow Award. In Tao Mu's words, she has both good looks and strength. Although he is not as good-looking as Tao Mu, he is also an outstanding person. Didn't you see that Tao Mu himself was convinced?
Shen Yu's words made it seem as if there was no one else in Beijing Film Academy except Tao Mu. Is this person really a friend or is he stabbing me in the face under the guise of a friend?
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Shen Yu pinched his sleeves nervously, looked up and asked Tao Mu: "Did I say something wrong?"
Tao Mu nodded to the students around him and smiled helplessly: "Okay. I know you mean what you say. Just be careful in the future."
Shen Yu took a deep breath with grievance and nodded obediently.
Madam Shen and Shen Yan were suddenly a little unhappy. I think Tao Mu is too harsh on Shen Yu. Shen Yu is still a child, usually spoiled by his family, so he doesn't have so many schemes and scheming. Naturally, he won't speak as flawlessly as Tao Mu. Can't Tao Mu be more tolerant?
Yao Wenxiao couldn't help but snort, and supported his childhood sweetheart: "I think Xiaoyu is pretty good right now. He is innocent and unsophisticated, and says whatever he thinks. He really thinks you are good and better than others, so he said that. Don't you think this is very valuable of him?"
After a pause, he couldn't help but said sourly: "If it were me, and Shen Yu praised me so much and admired me so much, I would definitely be crazy with joy."
Tao Mu: "..." He felt like he was going crazy.
"It's getting late. If you have nothing else to do, go back and rest." Tao Mu was too lazy to deal with these uncommunicative characters and chased them away.
Shen Yu was still looking at Tao Mu eagerly: "Won't you take me around your school?"
"It's dark now." Tao Mu was a little helpless: "It's so dark that I can't see anything. If you want to go shopping, you have to wait until tomorrow. Besides, your family must be tired after accompanying you all the way here. Why don't you accompany them to rest first?"
You also know that we have traveled a long way here? In order to come and see you, Shen Yu didn't even go to the hotel after getting off the plane, but went straight to Beijing Film Academy. Is this how you treat our Yu Yu?
The Shen family didn't expect Tao Mu to be so ungrateful, and they became angry and embarrassed.
"Xiao Yu, since they don't welcome you, we shouldn't pester them. Let's go. Don't you want to see Luo Yang? I'll accompany you to see Luo Yang." Yao Wenxiao's eyes rolled around, and while he was standing up for Shen Yu, he started to stuff Shen Yu into the car. In his heart, he was thinking about how to teach Tao Mu a lesson, so that this poor boy who had never seen the world would not act like he had 2.58 million just after creating Feixun.com. Do you dare to ignore their Shen Yu?
Don’t you see that you deserve it?
Yao Wenxiao stepped on the accelerator angrily, the car made a "boom" sound, and even the exhaust gas was particularly angry.
The students from Beijing Film Academy who had been watching nearby came over and someone asked Tao Mu, "Who are these people? Their eyes are almost up to the sky."
Tao Mu came back to his senses and said with a smile: "The young master of the Shanghai Shen Group, and their family. He is the school hunk selected by Shanghai University, and he is here to participate in the National School Flower and School Hunk Selection Competition."
"Rich man. I thought so." The man chuckled, "I can tell from his aura that he is different from ordinary people. He even speaks with a sense of arrogance."
Tao Mu felt sad. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. He looked at the classmate who was talking to him, blinked calmly, and asked tentatively: "Why do you say that? Don't you think Shen Yutian is innocent and pure, and very cute?"
"It's quite simple." The classmate laughed, thinking that Shen Yu was Tao Mu's friend, and some things were too embarrassing to say directly. But when he saw the faces of the Shen family and Tao Mu's response, he felt that it was not quite like that. I can only vaguely say: "If this person has a good family background and is spoiled by others, then he is confident. He can be simple if he wants to be simple, and he can be straightforward if he wants to be straightforward. We can't envy him."
"... Actually, you don't have to be envious. We all think you're pretty good. Although we don't have money or power, we have acting skills. Besides, you're quite capable. You just started Feixun.com right after school started. I think you not only want to be an actor, but also an investor, right?" The classmate hugged Tao Mu's shoulders and patted his chest to comfort him, "Come on. We all have high hopes for you."
Tao Mu thanked him subconsciously. I just feel my mind is in a mess.
Why do everyone's reactions differ? He remembered that in his previous life, when he had just transferred to Shanghai University, everyone was on Shen Yu's side. No matter what Shen Yu said, it was right, and no matter what he did, it was wrong. It was in that extreme atmosphere that Tao Mu fell deeper and deeper, struggling more and more crazily.
But now... Shen Yu hasn't changed, the Shen family's attitude hasn't changed, and Shen Yu's admirers are still the same, so why do the reactions of Jingying's classmates change?
Could it be that Shen Yu’s halo as a protagonist is limited to region and time? Only the places and time periods where the plot breaks out have the greatest influence - for example, Shanghai, H Town, and the several film festival award ceremonies held in Yanjing and Hong Kong that clearly appear in the book.
And apart from the time and place that escape the plot, everyone is relatively normal? He can even show normal indifference or even disgust towards Shen Yu, and no longer blindly pamper and flatter him.
If this is true, does it mean that the space he can move in is actually larger than he imagined, and that he can do more than he expected?
But to what extent can he go so as not to cause a backlash in the plot?
Tao Mu was in a daze, feeling that his worldview was once again impacted.
Tao Mu was a little mentally unbalanced, and his steps were dizzy all the way back to the dormitory. He unconsciously turned on the computer and entered the backend of Feixun.com - before Shen Yu came, he had been testing the video network and the netizen voting functions.
Unlike award ceremonies like the Oscars, most domestic talent shows are generally too lazy to notarize the voting process. Of course, this is also because the organizers of many talent shows also have to operate the rankings themselves to maximize profits.
The national school beauty and school hunk selection activity organized by Feixun.com actually did not hire anyone to do the notarization process. It's not that Tao Mu wanted to do anything with it - originally this was an activity for netizens to entertain themselves, and Tao Mu intended to use this activity to promote Feixun.com. He has no direct interest in any of the contestants, and of course there is no need for him to do anything fishy to tarnish the reputation of Feixun.com.
But now, as if possessed by a ghost, Tao Mu inexplicably had the urge to tamper with the voting algorithm so that he could tamper with the background data at any time.
Tao Mu sat in front of the computer with an expressionless face, but the way he stared at the computer screen with a bitter and resentful look on his face attracted everyone's attention.
Du Kang, who was teaching Wen Bao how to play games, couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Who did you go out to meet? Why do you look like that? Who did you have a quarrel with?"
"Nothing." Tao Mu came back to his senses. For a moment, he even had the urge to kick Shen Yu out even if it meant tampering with the background data.
Fortunately, Du Kang interrupted his thoughts with a word. Tao Mu came back to his senses and realized that there was no need for him to do such an irrational thing just because he hated Shen Yu, and he might even drag down the newly developed Feixun Network.
Is it true that the intelligence-reducing buff of the protagonist's halo is too powerful?
Even though Shen Yu's aura of reduced intelligence cannot affect outsiders for the time being, it still has a very strong and subtle influence on him, a former character in the plot.
Perhaps, this is what the saying goes, those who are involved are the most confused!
Tao Mu took a few deep breaths and slowly calmed down. Then he did another thing, which was to find DB, one of the Big Four accounting firms, to do the notarization overnight.
——He would rather spend a little more money to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the selection activities than let his IQ be affected by the intelligence-reducing buff.
Maybe I should really hurry up and fly to Country M. It's not just to discuss with Li Xiaoheng the launch of Feixun.com in Country M. More importantly, it can be used as an opportunity to avoid Shen Yu's protagonist halo.
After hanging up the phone, Tao Mu tapped the desk thoughtfully.
If he leaves China now, who will be responsible for Feixun.com?
Tao Mu first thought of his brother Yao and brother Xiao Qi. But no, these two are considered plot characters. Tao Mu couldn't guarantee whether Shen Yu's halo would affect Liu Yao and Meng Qi in advance. Especially when this couple is helping him with things.
Who else could he look for besides Liu Yaomengqi?
Luo Xi can't do it either. The eldest daughter of the Luo family has good abilities, but her character is not very good, so Tao Mu doesn't dare to trust her. As for Long Tianao, there is no need to consider him at all. Even though this kid has decent abilities and character, his IQ is not good enough. With the episode in H Town, Tao Mu really didn't dare to trust him.
——Even if Long Tianao was not a character in the previous life, he and Shen Yu spent so much time together in H Town. Tao Mu couldn't guarantee to what extent Long Tianao's inner qualities had changed after being bathed in Shen Yu's halo for a long time, given his intelligence.
As for Da Mao, Xiao Pang and Feng Yuan, there is no need to mention them. In the plot, he basically plays a cannon fodder role that is even more miserable than him. I guess you will feel dizzy as soon as you see Shen Yu's face. In fact, Mr. Song is a very trustworthy person. But the old man is very old and knows nothing about the Internet.
Then there are the three people in dormitory 301. Tao Mu thought about it and realized that they had too little time to spend together, and these three roommates did not show any talent or ability other than acting or directing. Although Du Kang has a strong sense of variety shows, he has not yet gone through any experience and is not the great director of later generations who is known for his bloody and dramatic performances. Thinking about it, I still feel a little uneasy.
At this time, it can be seen that Tao Mu's connections are still not good enough. If I had known earlier, I should have hired a more reliable professional manager when recruiting!
Tao Mu was racking his brains in worry, when he accidentally caught a glimpse of several medical science magazines on the bookshelf.
His eyes suddenly lit up.
Tao Mu subconsciously picked up the phone and dialed Yun Yi's number.
After three rings, the call was connected. Tao Mu smiled and said, "Brother Yun, I want to ask you a favor~"
The future richest man! He has intelligence, ability, luck, and a very good moral character. He is a very trustworthy person!
