Chapter 11
Rejecting Wen Shijin's proposal, Tao Mu changed into costumes in the dressing room, and waited for the stylist to put on his headgear—because Tao Mu made a stand-in for the male lead and didn't need to show his face, and the quality of the cosmetics used by the crew was not very good Well, Tao Mu often doesn't even wear makeup. The most enviable thing is that he can't get tan without makeup or sunscreen. When the sun is the strongest, at most, the sun will be red, but even if the skin is burnt, it will still be rosy, and the sweaty and sexy appearance is even more attractive.
Yang Mei, who was in charge of styling him, said for the nth time: "Your skin is too good, right? How much sunscreen do you have to save this year? I think those big-name cosmetics should find you to endorse."
Tao Mu remained silent. Suddenly, Yang Mei shouted in a fuss: "Ah, Tao Mu, why is your hand bleeding?"
Tao Mu came back to his senses, and spread his palms. But the palm was scratched by nails, and a few drops of blood trickled down between the fingers, almost not staining the costume.
Tao Mu took out a paper towel from the paper drawer on the dressing table and wiped his palms. The rude Yang Mei frowned, "Does it hurt?"
"It's nothing." Huating is gone, I have to fight back the urge to beat him, I accidentally hurt myself."
Then, Tao Mu deliberately lowered his voice, approached Yang Mei and blinked: "This is our secret, don't tell it to me. Someone else."
Yang Mei blushed from the laughter, and nodded dizzily. Mu Huating slandered in front of the investors in front of everyone on the set yesterday, causing Tao Mu to be shot innocently. Everyone was discussing this matter in private. Yang Mei felt that she could especially understand Tao Mu's mood. If it was her, she would also want to beat Mu Huating to vent her anger.
"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't say anything." Yang Mei thought for a while, and comforted her: "Tao Mu, I think you will definitely be popular. And you will be popular. So you don't need to talk to someone like Mu Huating at all. "
Tao Mu looked at the serious look on the little girl's face, and smiled.
By the time Tao Mu left the dressing room and returned to the set, everyone in the Shen family had already left.
Shen Yu sat on the prop box next to Director Chen, tilted her head, and looked at the monitor with a smile. After seeing Tao Mu, his eyes lit up, and he waved at Tao Mu in amazement without concealing his eyes: "Wow, Tao Tao, you are so handsome! You are so handsome to a new height."
The staff on the set were also looking at Tao Mu, listening Hearing Shen Yu's words, he nodded involuntarily.
This is not wrong. Since a week ago, probably because he was familiar with the shooting rhythm and the appearance of ancient costumes, Tao Mu's impression changed every day. Especially in front of the camera, the positioning is more precise, the movements are more natural and suave, and a series of changes make the character image played by Tao Mu more textured in the camera. Several times, when the camera accidentally captured Tao Mu's face, Director Chen didn't even realize the natural aura. He really thought that the actor in front of the camera was the leading actor. He completely forgot the fact that Tao Mu was just a stand-in.
And to be honest, Tao Mu's interpretation of the role is much higher than that of Shen Yu, who also has no acting experience, no matter in terms of appearance, acting skills, or even line-to-play.
This made Director Chen sigh in private that Tao Mu was born to eat this bowl of rice.
Newcomers who join the entertainment industry every year are like crucian carp crossing the river, but there are not many lucky ones who can really make it to the top. Tao Mu's appearance is too handsome, his martial arts figure is also amazing, and even the occasional newcomer who has no shortcomings in literary and opera reciprocity is even rarer.
Think again that Tao Mu has already been admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, and will be a major in the future—if he is lucky, he may be able to integrate into the Beijing circle. Thinking of this, Chen Yiqian's heart twitched slightly, and his intention to show kindness became more and more obvious.
"Xiao Mu, let's make up the scenes of yesterday's scene first. In the afternoon, there will be a rivalry scene between you and the third male stand-in. After filming, go back and rest." From the unnamed Wu stand-in to the intimate Xiao Mu, the entire crew They also understood what Director Chen wanted to convey. There were also subtle changes when dealing with Tao Mu.
But Tao Mu himself remained the same as before. This calmness is also very pleasant.
Shen Yu tilted her head beside her and asked, "Tao Tao, your fighting skills are so good, can you teach me? I really want to do all kinds of cool martial arts moves in front of the camera." It's a pity that Shen's family won't let you. Shen Yu was born to be pampered and pampered, the skin on his thighs and back was worn out the first time he hung Wia. When the Shen family came to visit the class, they found bruises and redness on Shen Yu's body, and immediately strictly prohibited Shen Yu's "self-mutilation" behavior.
Shen Yu, who was originally just playing for tickets and hadn't developed an obsession with acting, didn't want to let her family worry, so he agreed to the Shen family's request. But yes, yes, young people like to be handsome after all. Tao Mu's expressiveness in front of the camera can even conquer Chen Yiqian and those professional martial artists, and Shen Yu is no exception.
In his previous life, Shen Yu also longed for Wia drama after Tao Mu made beautiful fighting moves. Especially after Tao Mu encountered Luo Yang's difficulties, in order to make Tao Mu happy, Shen Yu took the initiative to expose Tao Mu's substitute for him when the reporter visited the class for interviews. After the interview, Shen Yu privately asked Tao Mu to teach him how to make beautiful moves while hanging Wia.
Tao Mu was also very grateful to Shen Yu at that time, so he secretly taught Shen Yu how to play without telling Shen Yu's manager, and even gave Shen Yu some tricks. As a result, there was an accident during the rehearsal, and the two entered the hospital together.
Tao Mu didn't want to mix with Shen's family anymore in this life, so he simply refused Shen Yu's request: "I can't teach it, it's probably a natural skill."
Shen Yu: "..."
The scene, props and lighting are almost ready. Tao Mu got up and entered the set, ready to shoot.
No matter what fantasies outside the circle and people who eat melons may imagine, filming is actually a very boring thing. The most things actors do in a day is to wait, wait for the makeup to be applied, wait for the prop team to complete the set, wait for the camera team and the lighting team to take their positions, the director calls action, the actors stand up for the scene, and the battle is successfully resolved in ten minutes, and then wait The set lights and cameras for the next act are in place. If it doesn't go well, just keep grinding. A short two or three-minute shot in a TV series may take hours or even months to shoot on the set.
Because a lot of time is spent waiting, celebrities with a little bit of status like to join the group in a caravan. Especially after the advent of smart phones, when waiting for the show, I would hide in the RV and play with my mobile phone, brush Weibo, take selfies, and make Jiugongge look cute. But now, the entertainment industry has not yet formed the studio atmosphere of burying their heads in swiping their phones and striving to be the head-down king. So when waiting for a play, it is most common for a group of actors to hold the script and either recite their lines or play against each other. The group performers hid in inconspicuous corners in twos and threes, lazily.
Tao Mu stood still in front of the set, and the prop master who was in charge of hanging the wires came over to help put on the wires, and the martial arts instructor was next to him to talk about the play and the tricks. Mu Huating, who played the role of the male third, looked uncertain, probably because he was afraid that Tao Mu would avenge himself during the play in the afternoon, so Lai came to director Chen's side to discuss about using a substitute for the play in the afternoon.
The young master who was sought after by everyone stuck to Tao Mu and chattered. Tao Mu closed his eyes and didn't want to talk to him. Shen Yu stood next to Tao Mu and held up his mobile phone to secretly take pictures--the kind of master who shows half of his face in front of the camera, just right. Tao Mu who hangs Wia behind him is exposed. Unsatisfied after taking the photo, he secretly uploaded it on Weibo, signed "Give me a substitute brother, isn't he handsome?"
In 2008, Weibo was still a new thing. Many young and fashionable newcomers will register accounts on Weibo to interact with fans. However, the celebrities who are slightly bigger are still accustomed to taking the traditional mysterious route, and they are well versed in the essentials of beauties like flowers separated from the clouds.
As a rich second generation who is handsome and has a good personality and has entered the entertainment industry, Shen Yu already has nearly 100,000 followers on Weibo. The most important thing is that these 100,000 fans are all "living people" who are active and eager to communicate. After Shen Yu posted the photos, he liked and commented in various ways. Some praised Shen Yu for being more handsome than Tao Mu, some agreed that Tao Mu was indeed handsome, and some asked for Tao Mu's identity information and Weibo account. If you don't look at the data In other words, the level of excitement is no less than that of the stars who have millions of fans in later generations.
Shen Yu hugged her mobile phone and chatted wildly, while Tao Mu was called up to make up shots.
The crew of "Zi Xiao" is actually very willing to film Tao Mu's scene, especially in the last week. The young man seemed to be on the hook, basically he didn't ng because of his own reasons. It directly caused the shooting progress of the whole play to jump up a bit. The original plan was to shoot the fighting scenes for two and a half months. According to the current progress, it is estimated that the filming will be completed in less than two months.
During the lunch break, Ye Yao's manager and Mu Huating's manager came up again. In order to win Tao Mu over, Mu Huating's manager offered to give Tao Mu an audition as compensation before Tao Mu agreed to sign the contract. Tao Mu can play the male number four in it.
"I wanted to compete for you as the male number two. It's a pity that you are not an artist of the company, so I can't help it." Mu Huating's manager still did not forget to persuade Tao Mu at the moment: "But then again, if you are willing to join The company, not to mention the male second, even if it is the male number one, I can help you fight for it."
Tao Mu emphasized again: "Thank you Brother Zhao for your kindness. But I have said it all, I have already been admitted to the Beijing Film Academy. The school stipulates that Three years ago, I couldn’t make movies.” It’s already mid-July, and Beijing Film Academy starts school at the beginning of September, so I have to go to school to report on August 26th. If Tao Mu takes the role introduced by Zhao Keping, it is very likely that he will not be able to report in time due to schedule conflicts. This is not in line with Tao Mu's plans for the future.
"It's not that strict." Zhao Keping took advantage of the situation and said, "Our company has also signed students from Jingying. If you want to join the company, we can discuss with the school about the shooting schedule." Tao Mu: "But I think the school The rules are pretty good. Freshmen and sophomores concentrate on studying at school to lay the foundation. I don’t want to violate the school’s rules.”
This is a bit stubborn.
Zhao Keping's face darkened, and he felt that Tao Mu really didn't know how to flatter him: "Young people think simply, you have to know that many opportunities don't come all the time. As the saying goes, you need to be famous early, and this is also true in the entertainment industry. Think about it, If you really follow the school's rules, you will be in your twenties when you can take on the role. How can you guarantee that you will be popular?"
Tao Mu smiled and said nothing.
Zhao Keping was really full of anger. But looking at Tao Mu's face, he was really reluctant, so he had to settle for the next best thing: "If you insist on doing this, there is nothing you can do. The company can negotiate with the school to arrange announcements and scripts for you during the winter and summer vacations. In this way It's the best of both worlds."
Zhao Keping is really optimistic about Tao Mu, and his sincerity is not lacking. Even though Tao Mu had already made up his mind that he didn't want to join the brokerage company, he was too embarrassed to refuse Zhao Keping's kindness at this moment. I can only politely say: "Then let me think about it again." After careful consideration, I continued to refuse, and compared to Zhao Keping, I would not be entangled anymore.
Hearing Tao Mu's refusal, Zhao Keping frowned, not understanding why Tao Mu resisted so much: "Is it because of Mu Huating's matter?"
Mu Huating, who was caught off guard by the name call, tightened his heart, and looked at Tao Mu with a straight face.
Although Tao Mu is tired of Mu Huating's tricks, he won't let people take the blame for nothing. Then he shook his head: "It's not his business. It's because I'm not ready to sign a company."
After a pause, Tao Mu explained: "I don't really want to be an idol." I just want to be my own boss.
So you want to be an actor? Zhao Keping suddenly realized that he had seen this kind of fledgling young people with lofty aspirations a lot. Tao Mu is neither the first nor the last.
"The first brother and the first sister of our Xia Xing Entertainment are all movie kings and queens. Let me tell you, even if you want to be an actor, you can't just act. For example, things like competing for the best actor require the help of the company. Public relations. It’s a good thing that you have ambitions, but you can’t fight alone. Think about it this way, after you sign with the company, the company will help you screen the script and arrange the schedule. You just need to go all out to think about the script and play the role well I'll take care of the rest. Isn't that better?"
Zhao Keping made a big deal, if Tao Mu was really a newcomer, he would really be overwhelmed at the moment.
Wan Meihong, who was one step late, was in a hurry, and hurried up to disrupt the situation: "Although Xia Xing Entertainment has an actor and actress, but because the first brother and the first sister are in full swing, the company's first-hand resources must be selected by the first brother, and the rest But it does not mean that you can get the rest of the resources. In fact, there are many first-tier male stars and second-tier male stars who have signed contracts with Xia Xing.
The managers of these people must also help their artists Struggle for resources. You are a newcomer with no background and popularity. If you enter this kind of company, you will easily be buried. So you might as well join Qinchao Entertainment. At least Qinchao Entertainment has only the first sister and no first brother. If you are willing Joining Qin Dynasty, based on your conditions, I will definitely be able to convince the company to make you a big brother."
Zhao Keping sneered after hearing this: "Who doesn't know that the TV series produced by your Qin Dynasty Entertainment are all lead actresses. Why did Wang Miao leave Longteng Entertainment? , Isn’t it because there is no development? You still want to pull Tao Mu into the water, and you simply don’t care about the future of the newcomer.”
Tao Mu looked at the two brokers who were earning so much money with some headaches, and sneered. The banner slipped.
"Tao Mu, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
Tao Mu paused, looked at Ye Yao who followed outside the toilet, raised his eyebrows, and signaled someone to speak quickly.
Ye Yao blushed: "You...do you like me?"
Tao Mu: "...???"
Ye Yao couldn't hide her joy in her shyness: "I knew that you were willing to be made things difficult by Luo Yang for me yesterday, for sure. You like me. Even though you don’t say—”
“Stop! Stop!” Tao Mu hurriedly interrupted someone’s words, it’s all the same: “I said, you little girl, I hope I’ll do better. Is it?"
Ye Yao was unconvinced: "How can you say such a thing. Is it something bad to like me?"
"What do you think?" Tao Mu snorted, waved his hands impatiently to push people away: " Don't leave me to cause trouble, go back and find Luo Yang quickly. If you continue to make trouble, you two will really break up." At that time, you will suffer a lot if you have no one to cover you, and you should turn black if you eat and eat.
"Split it!" Ye Yao poked her neck in dissatisfaction: "I wanted to break up with him a long time ago. Listen to what he said yesterday. I treat him as a boyfriend, but he treats me like a babysitter Little star. If I like this kind of person, am I not blind?"
Tao Muxin said that you are not blind. He's either a scumbag or a gay man, what kind of lame eyes are there!
"Okay, okay, okay, I don't bother to care who you like. You just don't like me anyway."
Tao Mu had a headache and abdominal distension, thinking that he hadn't had this in his previous life. But Tao Mu didn't expect that in his previous life, he didn't explode under the powerful spray of the fire hose, and was thrown on the set like a dead dog in the end. Afterwards, he became the object of ridicule and ridicule by everyone. Ye Yao's young girl's heart is open for the first time. Seeing Tao Mu's disappointment, she is so angry that it is too late. How can she admit that she likes him.
Shen Yu, on the other hand, couldn't help but stand up for him. As a result, after the two's backgrounds were exposed, Tao Mu insisted on forcing Shen Yu to leave the Shen family. He himself was never accepted by the Shen family because of this incident. Thinking about it carefully, some of his behaviors in his previous life were indeed quite bewildered.
Sure enough, in this life, you still have to stay away from them. He is very affectionate and with the whole family, why should he go up to join in the fun!
