”
Lao Qi was about to persuade him again, but Tao Rui said, "We're not on the same path as other idols. Do you think I'm the same as them? Why should I follow the same path as them?"
Lao Qi was speechless, unable to find a reason to refute him. The fact is, among all the idols in the entertainment industry today, no one has produced works as powerful as Tao Rui. Now his explosive acting skills have become one of his trademarks. Come to think of it, it seems that he really doesn't have to worry about losing fans. His popularity is no longer based on fans, but on his works.
With this change of perspective, Lao Qi's anxiety eased, and he felt reassured. However, he couldn't quite understand why Tao Rui put so much effort into singing and dancing, holding concerts, and learning an instrument. Wasn't it necessary to maintain fan base through these efforts? Was this truly giving back to the fans?
To be honest, he has never seen such an artist in all his years in the entertainment industry, especially an idol.
The 50 million yuan benefit was distributed very quickly. It was a very exciting dance song. Tao Rui and his dancers were dancing in the practice room wearing baseball caps. He was wearing white and his dancers were all in black. The picture was neat and he stood out. The video was super explosive!
Fans immediately commented "Ahhhhhhh!" when they saw the welfare. "So cool! So cool! This is their idol, a true singing and dancing king. When did he become so good?!"
There are also marketing accounts that took screenshots from this video, very handsome pictures, and then found pictures of Tao Rui laughing his jaw off, covered in chicken feathers, and wolfing down food on a variety show, and compared them and asked: "Can you say this is the same person?"
The fan replied with a laugh: [Yes, yes, that's my idol! He can be salty, sweet, and silly. I love Brother Rui so much!]
Passersby said that they saw cool and handsome silly things, but they had never seen sweet things.
It is true that Tao Rui has never been so cute and coquettish since he came here. The sweetness or something like that does not exist at all. Fans suddenly realized that, yes, ever since Tao Rui asked them to call him Rui Ge, he is no longer the sweet Rui Rui.
Fans rushed to post comments during Tao Rui's live stream: "Brother Rui, are you filming an idol drama?! I'm jealous of you being so sweet with girls, but you're the Prince Charming, how can you not be in an idol drama?"
"Idol dramas...if there's a good script, I'll do it." Tao Rui had no confidence in scripts in this area. The idol drama scripts he'd been handed were all pretty awful. If he did it, people would probably suspect he was under a spell, and his fans wouldn't be happy.
So even though his current image is that of the male lead in idol dramas, he still takes the idol drama aspect very seriously and insists on having an amazing script before accepting it.
As a result, fans have spontaneously started looking for scripts. Many fans really want to see Tao Rui in idol dramas. They don't have the same sense of crisis that Tao Rui has when he falls in love and gets married, so they really want their imagined prince charming to become a reality. Only Tao Rui can do this. He is so handsome, wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't act in idol dramas?
So, when they saw a good novel, they would send Tao Rui a private message. They didn't mention it outside, after all, they were well aware that Tao Rui's traffic was very high now, and even things that fans like them paid attention to could easily become trending searches. Of course, they couldn't just give people popularity without permission, and they had to be careful in everything they did.
The system is responsible for Tao Rui's private messages. It will not only filter out useful information in the private messages, but also find the novels they recommend and read them. Those that are unqualified will be directly passed, and only those that are almost acceptable will be shown to Tao Rui.
But Tao Rui did not see anything satisfactory.
If there really is such a good novel, and other people in the circle are not stupid, wouldn’t they have filmed it long ago?
Or the novel may be good, but the plot, setting, or other things in it are not suitable for film and television adaptation, and it will be difficult to shoot.
So the idol drama issue was left unresolved for the time being, which gave the haters another opportunity to exploit the situation. Fame breeds controversy, and if they can't criticize Tao Rui, they can criticize his fans. Haters emerged one after another, mocking Tao Rui's fans as being mentally ill. Tao Rui was already an award-winning actor, so how could he possibly go back to acting in idol dramas?
Tao Rui has played classic roles and produced such a hit drama as "Dr. Tao," so why would he lower his price to star in an idol drama? What artist would do that? Their request is a no-brainer, and it's a wonder Tao Rui would agree to it.
Of course, this provides another point of ridicule, as fans often say Tao Rui treats them well. Now? They want to watch an idol drama, but he won't even film one. What good is that? He clearly refuses to film idol dramas because he thinks they're not explosive, profitable, or a waste of time. He's making so many excuses.
The haters also cited the idol dramas that were popular in the past two years as examples, saying that their scripts were all very good and very popular, and that Tao Rui's statement that there were no good scripts was nonsense.
But in truth, Tao Rui really despised those so-called popular idol dramas. Their popularity was short-lived, a flash in the pan, then faded like fireworks. They didn't leave audiences with a lasting impression, nor did they make the lead actors famous. They were merely a novelty at the time, but they didn't earn a good reputation.
But the fans don’t know that the remarks made by the haters are really upsetting.
How could this be possible? Tao Rui spent three days in seclusion, using his mental space for a total of six days, to write a script for an idol drama. He gave it to Lao Qi and said, "I'm going to shoot this drama this year. I'm going to have my company sponsor the production. You go and negotiate with the company. I can bring in new talent from the company, but they must have good acting skills, good looks, good character, and won't cause trouble for me. I want a high-quality production, and the cost can't be low."
"Where did this script come from?"
"Don't worry about it. The copyright is mine now."
"Oh, so you bought it yourself? Fine, you're a cash cow now, whatever you say goes." Lao Qi agreed in advance, speaking with confidence. He knew that if he went back to the company to discuss cooperation, it would be a success. The company was still trying to figure out how to renew Tao Rui's contract. Tao Rui was becoming increasingly popular, and if his contract expired and he left, it would be a huge loss for the company.
The company is currently trying its best to meet Tao Rui's requirements, no matter how much it's requested. So when they heard Tao Rui wanted to collaborate and offer a substantial sponsorship, they immediately approved the project and asked the relevant departments to prepare and quickly audition and cast.
Tao Rui announced the news directly on Weibo: [The idol drama you all wanted is here. Once I finish filming, I'll show it to you during next summer's schedule.]
The Weibo account also posted a photo of Tao Rui wearing a white shirt and leading a white horse. He really is the Prince Charming! There are as many idol dramas as you want!
Fans couldn't believe their eyes when they saw this, and the comments section immediately exploded! How could Brother Rui be so heartwarming? He's really going to film an idol drama, and he even pointed out that it's for them! Ahhhh, isn't this an idol drama for them?! ! ! !
Heizi silently shut up. They didn't know why, but they always ran into obstacles with Tao Rui.
Tao Rui seemed to be specifically designed to stun them. Every time they thought they had something to show off, they'd get slapped in the face by Tao Rui, and this time was no exception. If they'd known this would be the outcome, they wouldn't have been so mean.
