The police arrived quickly. Reporters from Feixun Entertainment also ran up with cameras, looking like they were going to expose you if you keep making trouble. In front of so many people, Shen's mother and Yao Wenxiao didn't want to make things too embarrassing, so they dragged the indignant Shen Yan and the aggrieved Shen Yu away.
A group of employees from Feixun.com surrounded Tao Mu and asked, "Boss Tao, are you okay?"
"Mr. Tao, are you okay?"
"Mr. Tao, if you encounter this kind of people again, just call the police. We normal people can't communicate with them. It's too disadvantageous."
The young and old men in the security department also looked aggrieved: "Next time they dare to make trouble, can we just kick them out? They are trespassing in private areas without permission, right? Making trouble in our territory, how arrogant!"
They really didn't understand why Tao Mu repeatedly told them not to do it. If this happened at night, no one would dare to be so arrogant.
Tao Mu pressed his brows tiredly: "Thank you everyone. I'm fine. Let's go to work."
Yun Yi, who had been watching the National School Beauty and School Prince Selection Contest, heard the news and rushed over from the filming site next door: "How are you? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Tao Mu had already gotten used to the unusual painting styles of the Shen family, Shen Yu, and Shen Yu's admirers in his previous life. Although I feel a little tired at the moment, I am not too shocked.
It soon stabilized.
Seeing this, Yun Yi smiled and said, "As expected of someone who wants to be an actor, he has a good mental quality."
Tao Mu smiled bitterly: "Brother Yun, please stop teasing me. By the way, is the recording of the show going well?"
Because Yao Wenxiao bribed the media to discredit him, Feixun.com and the National School Beauty and Campus Prince Selection Contest were also implicated. Although he and Yese refuted the rumor in a timely manner, some things will not be forgotten just because you refute them.
"Everything went smoothly. It's just those contestants..." Yun Yi paused for a moment, then continued, "Some contestants feel sorry for you. When you were being attacked, they didn't stand up to help you and even threatened to withdraw from the competition. They all feel embarrassed and want to apologize to you."
"It's not their fault." Tao Mu waved his hand, saying clearly: "We didn't have any friendship to begin with. We just met by chance and had the opportunity to work together for a while. They don't know who I am or my past, so there's no need for them to explain anything for me."
Tao Mu admits that he is not broad-minded, but he is not a petty person. At best, he had only met those players a few times and had a few working meals with them. He had no right to ask those people to believe him, and naturally there was no need for those people to do so. People in the world seek profit and avoid harm. We are just colleagues, not relatives or friends. As long as we cooperate with each other at work, there is really no need to act like we are sticking together for warmth.
Besides, the people that Tao Mu really cared about stood up. Liu Yao, Meng Qi, Dean Tao, the old man, Big Hair and Little Fatty, Feng Yuan, and even the three roommates in Room 301 all trusted him unconditionally and tried to find ways to clarify the rumors for him and help him out of the predicament. Friends like Gou Rixin and Qin Miaoru also called to show their concern for him, and many of his classmates from the 2008 Beijing Film Academy spoke up for him on Feixun. Yun Yi also tried his best to help him stabilize the situation, even delaying his classes and hospital internship. Even that idiot Long Tianao cursed the unscrupulous media for supporting him on Feixun.com. He even arranged for Xiaxing Entertainment's artists to speak for him when they were interviewed by the media. All that’s left is a press conference.
Li Xiaoheng, who was far away in Country M, also called to ask if he needed help, and in an interview in Country M, he directly mentioned that he was his partner and was very grateful for his advice on the futures market.
Although due to time difference and geographical reasons, the interview did not cause any sensation in the country. But Tao Mu was still very moved.
As long as the people around him believe in him and support him, Tao Mu doesn't care what people outside think or say.
What's more, after this incident broke out, many partners and potential business partners who had interests with Tao Mu also stood up to speak for him. For example, the brother and sister Luo Xi and Luo Yang, the "Gun King" crew who had previously cooperated happily with Feixun Entertainment, and Mr. Luo, who rarely accepted interviews from reporters, also rarely logged into the Feixun account to denounce the unscrupulous media for only caring about sales and ignoring facts, and wantonly smearing young and talented entrepreneurs. It also pointed out that some media companies do not know how to improve their own strength, but only know how to engage in bad behavior such as doing things behind the scenes and engaging in unfair competition.
Weibo CEO Gao Yonghuai even directly criticized the unscrupulous media for spreading rumors regardless of facts on his own Weibo account, which brought shame to their media industry.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Boyuan and Yan Sheng were constantly mentioned by netizens and fans: one of them said categorically in an interview with reporters that Tao Mu's acting skills were indeed great and he was amazed; the other humbly said in a media interview that he was looking forward to the opportunity to work with Tao Mu. Guo Yaning, the heroine of "Jiang Hu Zhi Yuan", who was not mentioned, also took the initiative to jump out. On the one hand, she said that Tao Mu's acting skills were indeed worse than Wang Boyuan's. Anyway, she was brought into the play by Tao Mu several times when she acted opposite him. On the other hand, she said that Tao Mu's photography skills were actually better than his acting skills. Then he sent a message through the media, asking Tao Mu if he still remembered his promise to help her shoot the MV...
Before everything became clear, Guo Yaning's public statement even caused a stir in the entertainment industry. Some gossip media therefore speculated that Guo Yaning's support for Tao Mu, who is a whole generation younger than her, might be due to some shady dealings behind the scenes. All those dirty words were unbearable to hear and really cast a shadow on Guo Yaning's image.
No matter what Guo Yaning's purpose was, Tao Mu still appreciated that she could stand up and speak for him at this time. So after seeing Guo Yaning's interview, he immediately called to express his gratitude. Guo Yaning said on the phone that you're welcome. She admitted that the reason she stood up was because she was optimistic about Tao Mu and also to get some attention. By the way, remind Tao Mu not to forget to help her shoot the MV.
"If you're a man, don't break your promise and get fat."
Tao Mu took this matter to heart. So after discussing the recording plan for the final of "National School Flower and School Grass" with Yun Yi, even though he was still overwhelmed, Tao Mu put down the things at hand and rushed to Guo Yaning's studio to thank her in person and discuss the specific matters of shooting the MV.
Guo Yaning wore a long evening gown with a bright red skirt, as if she was going to walk on the red carpet. In fact, she did have a charity reception to attend. After seeing Tao Mu, he invited her, "I just happen to be in need of a male companion. Would you like to go with me?"
"I don't want it." Tao Mu smiled bitterly and said frankly: "I've been in trouble recently and don't want to show up in public anymore."
Guo Yaning smiled, pointed her slender jade finger at Tao Mu, and said to her agent: "This is the talented actor and photographer I told you about. Now it seems that he is also a talented entrepreneur."
Guo Yaning's agent is a woman in her forties, with ordinary looks but a queen-like temperament. She wears a classic OL suit and has wavy curly hair draped over her shoulders, looking like a strong career woman.
"Hello, Mr. Tao." She took the initiative to extend her hand to Tao Mu and greeted him with a smile: "I often hear Yaning mention you, and it's like thunder in my ears. Seeing you today, it turns out that you are young and promising, and your demeanor is extraordinary."
"You're flattering me." Tao Mu smiled modestly, "I should be the one to apologize for causing so much trouble to Teacher Guo."
"If you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person. Who among those who have made it in the entertainment industry has not suffered abuse and criticism? If one day, no one cares about what Yaning does, then I would have a headache." Guo Yaning's agent is very open-minded. In fact, she has been with Guo Yaning for so many years, and has promoted Guo Yaning from an unknown little actor to a first-line actress, and she has suffered countless verbal battles during this period. If you really take it to heart, you won't be able to live your life.
At this point, Guo Yaning's agent persuaded Tao Mu: "Mr. Tao, don't worry too much, let alone get angry. I think this is a good opportunity for the public to get to know you better. It can also be used to promote Feixun.com. In fact, in the entertainment industry, publicizing and breaking news is also a form of hype. Many celebrities will even deliberately expose themselves in public in order to gain attention. Compared with these people, your black material is really nothing. What's more, these black materials are not true. "
Tao Mu smiled when he heard this: "Thank you for your comfort. After hearing you say that, I suddenly feel a lot better."
Guo Yaning glanced at her agent with a smile, and said to Tao Mu, "Sister Xuan is excited to see the prey. Tao Mu, would you like to consider letting Sister Xuan be your agent?"
Tao Mu smiled warmly: "Thank you, Sister Xuan, for your kindness. I am temporarily tied up in worldly affairs, and Beijing Film Academy has school rules. I am not planning to join an agency or studio within two years."
Guo Yaning smiled slightly: "That's right. With your current status and ability, you can set up your own studio even if you want to make movies in the future. There is no need to sign with others."
Guo Yaning is also a very clear-headed person, so let's stop here with this topic. The two began to talk about shooting MVs. Guo Yaning told Tao Mu the style and feeling she wanted: "I like your lens language. I think I am particularly beautiful under your lens, and I have a special style and temperament. You also know that I am not a professional singer. In the words of Director Cheng, I sing with my face. So I have high requirements for MVs. You can see how to shoot it. If you need anything, just let me know. I will cooperate with you in everything."
Tao Mu took a look at the script for the MV provided by Guo Yaning, and then went to the recording studio to listen to Guo Yaning's song in person. Finally, he said, "Let me go back and think about it. I'll give you an answer in three days."
"Okay." Guo Yaning paused and said with a smile, "Actually, I'm not in a hurry. My new album will be released on Valentine's Day next year, so you have a few months to shoot. The reason I called you here so early is to take advantage of your current popularity. If you don't mind, can I ask the studio to issue a press release first?"
Tao Mu smiled. He liked Guo Yaning's style of speaking frankly and honestly: "No problem."
Guo Yaning was able to stand up and speak for Tao Mu when he was blackened by more than a dozen media outlets, which was also a great risk to public opinion. Even if it was a return of favor, Tao Mu would not refuse Guo Yaning's request. Besides, it would also be good for Guo Yaning's studio to issue a cooperation announcement at this critical juncture.
After coming out of Guo Yaning's studio, Tao Mu received another call from Meng Qi: "Did Shen Yu go to Feixun.com to make trouble today?"
Brother Xiao Qi's voice sounded extremely helpless on the phone: "Shen Yu just accepted an interview with a reporter. During the interview, he cried to the reporter, saying that you were particularly cruel and cold-blooded, and refused to accept his apology, which made him very sad. His sister also said that the employees of Feixun.com were particularly violent. A large group of people bullied women and children, and even called the police to drive them out of Feixun.com. Now the reporter from this newspaper contacted me and asked me if I wanted to suppress this interview?"
Tao Mu pressed his brows with a headache: "Forget it. Don't pay attention to him. Let him say whatever he wants." This kind of person, the more you pay attention to him, the more excited he will be. Anyway, he is not a reasonable person. As long as Shen Yu's halo doesn't affect him, Tao Mu is too lazy to contact these people.
Love the black and love the scolding. It’s not like I haven’t been attacked or scolded before.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Meng Qi didn't waste time on the phone. He changed the subject and said in a very serious tone: "Xiao Mu, come to our house now. Liu Yao and I have something very important to discuss with you."
Tao Mu's heart sank, he didn't know what his brother Yao and brother Xiao Qi were going to say to him. Quickly ask the driver to drive to Liu Yao's house as quickly as possible.
Tao Mu climbed up the stairs panting, and as soon as he knocked on the door, he saw Liu Yao sitting on the sofa in the living room with a ferocious face. The coffee table, which was always messy and filled with fruits and chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea, was now exceptionally clean, with an adoption application form placed on it. Liu Yao felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He stared at the adoption application form with murderous intent, holding his breath and concentrating his energy on his dantian.
Meng Qi, who always acted calm and relaxed in front of others and never revealed too many personal emotions, rubbed his hands nervously. His magnetic and gentle voice was like a bowstring that was about to be broken: "Tao Mu, your brother Yao and I want to formally ask the orphanage to adopt you. Do you think it's a good idea?"
Tao Mu was stunned.
Before Tao Mu could speak, Liu Yao suddenly said stiffly: "This time, the bastard surnamed Yao bribed more than a dozen media to discredit you. Even if we reacted in time and took these bastards to court, there would still be people who would talk about you working at Night. Damn, you dare to spread rumors about me -" Support you!
"So I discussed it with your brother Meng Qi. After all, we have raised you as our son for so many years. Why not formalize our relationship this time? As you know, your brother Xiao Qi and I are both gay. We will definitely not have another child in this life, so we will definitely not abandon you like your first adoptive parents did when we had our own son—"
"Liu Yao, what are you talking about!" Meng Qi shouted, interrupting Liu Yao's speech.
He turned his head to look at Tao Mu, who was completely stunned. His expression slowed down and he said patiently, "In short, it's an expedient measure. No matter what suspicions the outside world has about you and Ye Se. As long as our family's adoption relationship is officially confirmed, if they dare to talk nonsense again, we will take the adoption documents and sue them one by one. We will never let you suffer any grievances."
Tao Mu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He felt a burning sensation in his eyes, and tears as big as beans fell down on their own.
