After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn - Chapter 104

[Chapter 103]

The drama Wen Bao mentioned, called “The Great Wall of Flesh and Flesh”, is a TV drama with the theme of the Anti-Japanese War and espionage warfare in the Republic of China. It tells the story of countless heroes and martyrs fighting and mediating on the front line and behind enemy lines under extremely difficult and difficult conditions during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, building the Great Wall with flesh and blood and resisting the invaders.

Although the plot profile is dry and looks very old-fashioned and orthodox, but in terms of character image, “The Great Wall of Flesh” boldly adopts richer description methods in terms of male and female protagonists and supporting roles. The protagonist is no longer a stereotyped Wei Guangzheng, full of party constitution and discipline, and the supporting characters are no longer stereotyped stupid and weak. For example, the role that the other director wanted Tao Mu to audition for was Su Dingbang, a top student studying abroad. This Su Dingbang was exposed to advanced ideas and knowledge while studying abroad. After returning to China, seeing the devastated motherland, and the invaders who made a fortune in China, he wanted to join the revolution and serve the motherland.

Unlike Wen Bao, the traitor who first suppressed and then raised, Tao Mu was about to audition for this role, and when he first appeared, he was a progressive young man with a particularly positive image. He is handsome, handsome, dignified, has an extraordinary family background, is knowledgeable, and has ideals and blood and is always ready to devote himself to his ideals. He even held several student demonstrations after returning to China to protest the inaction of the Nationalist government during the war. Because his father was the president of Shanghai Commercial Bank, Su Dingyuan also used his father’s relationship to secretly deliver medicines and supplies to the underground party several times. Even made a few covers for the underground party.

It is also for this reason that Su Dingyuan later met the second male lead in the play and became the downline of the second male lead.

Up to this point, Su Dingyuan’s image has been very positive. It wasn’t until the R countrymen inadvertently found out that the transportation channel of the Su family used to deliver wound medicine for the underground party when they were investigating the underground party. R country people have doubts about Su Dingbang. But they did not move, continued to investigate the actions of the Su family, and finally caught everyone when Su Dingbang arranged for the underground party to evacuate.

Su Dingbang was imprisoned in the base camp of the enemy bandits. There, Su Dingbang witnessed how the brutal R countrymen treated the underground party. The original sturdy comrades-in-arms lost three of them in less than half a day under the torture of the R country.

When it was Su Dingbang’s turn. Su Dingbang was frightened. The wholehearted blood that once devoted himself to the revolution was wiped out under the severe torture of the enemy. What’s more, the people of R country are still blackmailing Su Dingbang with the life of the Su family.

Su Dingbang finally rebelled. Under the instruction of the R country, he sent an intelligence to the male No. 2 who was not yet aware of it. Lie the second man to come out and connect. And the meeting place has been set up by the R people and ambushed heavily. As long as the second male leads the male lead to an appointment, he will be surrounded by enemies.

In order to rescue the male No. 2 and the male protagonist, the chief of a police station in Shanghai, who has always been greedy for life and fear of death, that is, the little traitor played by Wen Bao, wants to inform the male protagonist and the male No. 2 before the people of R country. As a result, it was discovered by the R people. He died tragically under the gun of the R country.

Because of Wen Bao’s tip-off, the male lead and the second male lead escaped smoothly. However, half of the brothers they brought with them died tragically under the guns of the R people, or were caught by the R people.

The male lead and the male lead swear to avenge the brothers. To kill the mutineer Su Dingbang.

They made a detailed and thoughtful plan, sneaked into the base camp of the R country, and found the traitor Su Dingbang. But he was stunned to find that the originally handsome and dignified top student had a disfigured face and ten fingers that were crippled.

Su Dingbang knelt under the gun of the male protagonist, crying bitterly that he didn’t want to betray, but he couldn’t stand it any longer. He didn’t want to die, and he didn’t want the Su family to be buried with him.

But he didn’t know that the R country people used this as an excuse to raid the entire Su family as early as the moment he was arrested. All the male members of the Su family were killed, and the female relatives were taken into the military camp. The Su family, once famous all over the Huangpu River, has disappeared.

Su Dingbang was abruptly stunned, wailing heartbreakingly. In the end, he died tragically under the gun of the male protagonist.

He was a mutineer until his death.

“…Writing this character, what I want to express is human nature and the cruelty of war.” When Tao Mu went to see the director and screenwriter of “The Great Wall of Flesh” under Wen Bao’s persuasion, the director took Tao Mu’s hand. He said: “Su Dingbang, a student studying abroad with a progressive ideological and moral character. Now, he is also a college student in his prime. His quality is actually quite commendable. But at that time, he had to endure, but he had to face It is far more cruel than it is now.”

“Under the nest, there is an egg. In that era when the buildings were torn down, countless heroes and ancestors shed their blood for our stability today. Some of them are revolutionary martyrs. Death is a hero. But some people defected halfway for various reasons.” The director said here: “I wrote such a character, not to whitewash anyone. I just want everyone to know the cruelty of war. An ordinary person may be weak in the face of war and brutal aggressors. But his weakness can only be exchanged for a more tragic ending. Because the aggressors are not human. They are beasts. They will not think like humans. Think about it. The weaker you are, the more brutal they are. So the only thing that can save us is to take up arms and fight as well. This shows the value of heroes.”

“Heroes are valuable, but ordinary people face the threat of power. The compromise and cowardice of the times can reflect the complexity of human nature.”

“Yesterday, Lao Fan and I went to the final performance of the Beijing Film Festival. We were fortunate to see Mr. Tao’s performance. We felt that the image of Mr. Tao played by Wang Junqing, In fact, it fits the Su Dingbang we want.”

Hearing this, Tao Mu’s face darkened. What do you mean? You can see the image of a traitor from Wang Junqing, who is full of sexy and handsome hormones… Is this a satire of his poor acting skills, or do you want to say that his image and temperament are too bad? Like a traitor?

It’s just too much of a mouthful.

“No, no, no, Mr. Tao, please don’t misunderstand.” Screenwriter Fan, who had been sitting next to him and didn’t say much, noticed Tao Mu’s mood and quickly said, “Lao Zhou didn’t mean that. He just wanted to talk about Tao The Wang Junqing, who is always played, has a splendid and full-bodied attitude, which is very in line with the impression that Su Dingbang’s role gave people at the beginning.”

“The so-called art is to smash the most beautiful things for people to see. The better the initial impression, the more sad and profound the final tragedy. Su Dingbang is a key role in our script against war. This The success of the character can directly affect the idea of the script…” Screenwriter Fan fudged without money. She tried her best to make Tao Mu understand how important Su Dingbang was as a small cannon fodder who played in less than three episodes.

Director Zhou also continued to agree on the side. Tao Mu was a little surprised by their too serious attitude.

“I think I understand. Listening to screenwriter Fan’s words, the role of Su Dingbang is indeed very important.” Tao Mu blinked and tentatively said: “I think Zhou and screenwriter Fan should call me Tao Mu. I’m very embarrassed.”

“Mr. Tao is really polite. You are the president based on your strength, so what’s the embarrassment.” Zhou Dao smiled dryly and glanced at screenwriter Fan, He followed suit and said, “Mr. Tao, you just read the script. What do you think of our script?”

“This script is very good.” Tao Mu said without hesitation. Tao Mu, who has memories of his previous life, even knows better than the two before him what kind of response this TV series will cause in the TV circle when it is released.

“Then…” Director Zhou and Screenwriter Fan looked at each other again and asked cautiously, “I wonder if Mr. Tao is interested in investing?”

Ah?

Tao Mu was stunned for a moment. Suddenly I think of the classic anti-war drama in my previous life, the highest ratings of this premiere exceeded 15%, and even the replay ratings broke 10%. A few years later, the ratings of N rounds of rebroadcasts can still break 1%. It seems that when it was filmed, it was indeed It was rumored that there was a shortage of funds, and the crew was particularly shabby during the filming. At one point, it was so shabby that there were only two horses in the shooting cavalry company, and the funds for the later stages of the filming were not enough.

So…

Tao Mu’s dark and clear eyes fell thoughtfully on Director Zhou and screenwriter Fan.

Not only did these two want to trick him into playing a traitor character that lasted less than three episodes, but they also wanted to defraud him of money to invest in the crew?

Talent!

Noticing Tao Mu’s admiring expression, Director Zhou and Screenwriter Fan looked at each other a little embarrassedly. Director Zhou rubbed his hands together and explained very embarrassedly: “Let’s play this script, because the character image is not quite the same as the previous Anti-Japanese War drama. The same, so it is not very optimistic. Originally, it was not easy to attract investment in anti-war dramas. Now those coal boss investors would rather invest in idol dramas than anti-war dramas. But I really want to make this drama well. Lao Fan and I have been thinking about this script for seven or eight years. Really, I just want to make a good story of the war of resistance in my mind. All the characters are There are flesh and blood, human nature, and struggle…”

“Of course, you may not be optimistic about this subject…”

“How much?”

“…But I really hope you can think about it… Ah?” Director Zhou As he was talking, he suddenly felt that Tao Mu had just said something, and raised his head dazedly.

“I mean I’m very optimistic about this drama. I also think the script is very well written.” Tao Mu also looked a little weird. I really didn’t expect people to sit at home and the money would fly over by themselves.

“Tell me, how much investment do you want?”

Before Zhou Dao came back to his senses, screenwriter Fan was afraid that Tao Mu would regret it the next moment, and hurriedly said: “I and Lao Zhou and we both figured it out. There are three books in one set. 100,000 can come down, we are going to shoot 30 episodes, less than 9 million. Now we have invested 5 million. Mr. Tao, you just need to-”

“I will give you 9 million!” Tao Mu directly called Duan Fan’s screenwriter’s words: “But I have a request. After the filming of the TV series, my Danmuan.com will have the exclusive right to broadcast it online—”

“No problem!” Before Tao Mu’s voice could fall, Director Zhou took it directly. Because of the urgency, I couldn’t help but hiccup.

Tao Mu blinked: “Deal.”

Wen Bao, who was sitting next to him, looked from the beginning to the end with a dazed expression: What’s the situation? Didn’t you come to audition?

#The roommate who auditioned with me immediately became the biggest investor in our crew. How can this be done! Wait online! I’m in a hurry#
