After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn - Chapter 114
[Chapter 113]
When Long Tianao and Luo Xi arrived on the set of “The Great Wall of Flesh”, Tao Mu was playing against Zhang Mengcheng, who played the second male lead. The main plot is that Su Dingbang, played by Tao Mu, was on his way to a cocktail party when he came across the second male who was chased and killed by the people of R country. Although he didn’t know the true identity of the second male lead, Su Dingbang intuitively believed that the Huaxia people who were hunted down by the people of R country must be good people. So he tried every means to rescue the second male.
Quite a simple scene. But I don’t know what’s going on. Zhang Mengcheng, who plays the second male lead, doesn’t seem to be in a good state. He NG a line back and forth more than ten times, which makes everyone a little impatient.
The director had no choice but to let everyone rest first.
Gou Rixin, who had been staring at the filming site, immediately picked up a thick military coat and put it on Tao Mu. Li Xiaozheng handed a thermos cup with chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea to Tao Mu. Asked, “Is it cold?”
Tao Mu sniffed, “Is it okay.” As an idol, even if he didn’t wear cotton pants in winter, he wouldn’t bring him to keep warm. Besides, he was wearing a military coat.
Having said that, Tao Mu, who had finished the show, still strode to the side of his lounge chair. Gou Rixin moved the electric heater to Tao Mu and plugged it in. Tao Mu immediately stretched out his hand to keep warm. The long legs that were not wearing cotton trousers also stretched out secretly.
Gou Rixin took out a bag of buns from the side, put them on the electric heater, and asked Tao Mu, “What kind of stuffing do you like to eat?”
Tao Mu: “Just bake me two bean paste stuffed milk buns.”
Wen Bao, Du Kang and Chu Suian came over with a smile, rubbed their hands together and asked, “Brother Gou, what kind of stuffed buns did you buy?”
Chu Suian asked, “Is there any stuffing with shiitake mushrooms?”
“Yes!” When Gou Rixin bought the buns Just considering everyone’s taste, I bought several kinds of fillings. For example, Tao Mu’s favorite bean paste and custard buns, Wen Bao Du Kang’s favorite beef stuffed buns, and Chu Suian’s favorite vegetarian stuffed buns. Putting it on the electric hot air for heating, eating steamed buns while roasting the fire, it is very comfortable.
Long Tianao and Luo Xi came here at this time. As soon as the two entered the crew, they could see from a distance the very fashionable student Tao Mu, who was wearing a military coat and squatting in front of the electric heater. While reading the script and the lines, he ate buns and occasionally drank two sips from a thermos cup. of water. That scene was just irritating to the eyes.
Long Tianao and Miss Luo, who had never seen the world, were immediately shocked.
“Tao Mu?” The two didn’t dare to confirm that the master, who was wearing a military coat and squatting eating steamed buns, was indeed the heavily burdened partner of the idol they remembered.
“How did you become like this?” Long Tianao took off his sunglasses in disbelief: “Where’s your idol burden? Do you still know that Tao Mu?”
“Damn it!” Tao Mu glared angrily. Long Tianao glanced at him: “You are not at home for the New Year in the winter, what are you doing here?”
“I’m here to visit you!” Long Tianao circled around Tao Mu, tsk tsk admiringly: “Thanks to me for coming here. Otherwise I still can’t see this Western Ocean Scenery!”
“You are the Western Ocean Scenery!” Tao Mu sat back in the chair with a lot of baggage: “Tell me, why are you here?”
Miss Luo smiled slightly and glanced at it without a trace. Staying beside Tao Mu, the eldest son of the Li family, who was carrying water and carrying bags, said with a warm smile, “I just came to see you. By the way, let’s discuss the matter of continuing cooperation.
” Not going to say too much. Obviously, Tao Mu has no intention to discuss the company’s future plans with the crew. What’s more, the shooting atmosphere was tense, and everyone didn’t forget the correct lines even if they were eating buns. In this environment, it was not suitable for small talk.
Although Tao Mu was an investor who brought money into the group and played a minor supporting role with less than three episodes, his work attitude was as serious as that of the male lead. I have already memorized the script before I joined the group. When facing the scene, I can not only memorize my own lines, but even know the opponent’s lines like the back of my hand. When I played against Teacher Zhan, who played the leading role, I got a compliment from Zhan Bin.
I have to say, with the tone of Tao Mu’s play, the atmosphere of the whole crew is very strong now. Needless to say, the veteran actors headed by Mr. Zhan, even the students from Jingying, have learned the same way, reciting their lines every day when they have nothing to do. Try to shoot two or three times. Zhang Mengcheng has played a scene more than ten times, and it may not be a big deal if it is put on other crews, but in today’s “Great Wall of Flesh” crew, he doesn’t need to say more, he himself blushed and panicked.
Especially the big boss came to visit the class at this juncture. This time Zhang Mengcheng not only blushed, but his heart began to panic. Originally, I wanted to come over and have a look at the opposite scene with Tao Mu, but now, holding the script, he stood three meters away and kept wandering.
In the end, Tao Mu had sharp eyes and called someone over.
Zhang Mengcheng greeted his big boss very carefully. Seeing this, Tao Mu simply threw Long Tianao and Luo Xi away, and let them both hang out elsewhere.
Zhang Mengcheng breathed a sigh of relief and sat next to Tao Mu. In the past few days, because Tao Mu has always been very professional, Zhang Mengcheng almost forgot Tao Mu’s character as a boss. Now that I saw my big boss, I remembered that Tao Mu was the one who kicked the investor out of the crew just because of a disagreement. Thinking about it this way, he dared to fight with President Ba more than a dozen times, causing Tao Mu to be unable to finish work early.
I just don’t know if Tao Mu will directly block him in a fit of rage.
Tao Mu obviously didn’t know that Zhang Mengcheng’s inner drama was so rich. However, he did have some opinions on Zhang Mengcheng. Because the reason why they kept NG in this scene was because Zhang Mengcheng’s lines were not memorized. As a result, when the two played against each other, Zhang Mengcheng’s lines were dry, and he always forgot the words.
Tao Mu knew that Zhang Mengcheng, as a signed artist of Longteng Entertainment, usually has many announcements. Occasionally have to take time off to run announcements. For example, there was no Zhang Mengcheng’s part in the scene yesterday, so he went to the next province to record a show under the arrangement of his agent, and he went straight back to the crew the next morning by car. I didn’t read the script and didn’t memorize the lines, and now I’m in the sedan chair, my ears and eyes are pierced, and of course I’m in a bad state.
In the previous life, the film crew of “The Great Wall of Flesh” was short of funds, and the director did not have a high degree of control over the cast and crew. Zhang Mengcheng, as the second male lead who was forced in by an investor, would not care too much about him as long as he didn’t go overboard during the filming. Besides, Zhang Mengcheng is also considerate. Although he occasionally runs notices, he tries his best to run at a time when there is no drama, and will not ask for leave casually. The usual performance is also remarkable.
But even so, being fully committed to shooting is naturally different from being half-hearted. This caused Zhang Mengcheng’s second male lead to be significantly weaker than the other main actors after the TV series aired in his previous life. Although Zhang Mengcheng also became popular with this role, he became a niche student to be praised by Longteng Entertainment. But until ten years later, when someone did an inventory of TV dramas, they would still mention Zhang Mengcheng’s disrespectful behavior of running notices during filming and being crushed by the old actors. This experience has become his black history. Some people even firmly believe that if Zhang Mengcheng can be more attentive during the shooting, the classic “The Great Wall of Flesh” will definitely be able to achieve a higher level of completion. After all, the male No. 2 played by Zhang Mengcheng is also very important in the play.
In the first life, Tao Mu accidentally became an investor in “The Great Wall of Flesh”. Under his operation, the filming funds have been directly increased from the 9 million that was stretched in the previous life to 16 million. The unqualified actors who were stuffed in by the previous investors were all replaced. The rest, naturally, are people who he thinks go along with the character’s image. Tao Mu hopes that the new “The Great Wall of Flesh” will be stronger than his previous life in terms of shooting details and other aspects.
Although Zhang Mengcheng fits the character image very well. But if he remained in this state and couldn’t fully devote himself to the role, Tao Mu didn’t want to condone this neglect.
“Can you talk to your agent, we will put all our energy into filming during filming. I think this show is very good, and it will definitely be popular after it is broadcast in the future. This is also an opportunity for you. As for those miscellaneous Variety announcements, in fact, you can pick them up anytime. You are still young, and you have a work that you can handle, which is more useful than a dozen variety shows.”
Although Tao Mu was only nineteen years old this year, and when he spoke, he looked very cute and old-fashioned, but Zhang Mengcheng didn’t dare to laugh. He shuddered, knowing that Tao Mu was dissatisfied with his state, and nodded quickly and said, “I will communicate with the manager when I look back. Before finishing the production, I will definitely stay in the filming crew. This kind of thing will not happen again.”
Tao Mu patted Zhang Mengcheng’s shoulder: “Everyone is doing the trick. Don’t be too nervous. If it’s a big deal, just tell your manager directly, and say I’ll let it go. I’ll keep you in the filming crew. If you want to receive any announcement, tell me directly. I will communicate with Mr. Luo.”
Taking Dragon Entertainment’s resources as a favor for himself, Tao Mu will never be soft on this kind of thing. He also believed that Luo Xi would never refute his face on such trivial matters. After all, the benefits he can bring to Longteng Entertainment are definitely more than the three melons and two dates in the Dragonteng Entertainment bowl. Besides, from the trajectory of the previous life, Longteng Entertainment would have supported Zhang Mengcheng after the broadcast of “The Great Wall of Flesh”. When he said these words, it was nothing but a favor without cost.
But from Zhang Mengcheng’s point of view, this is definitely a surprise. Now the filming atmosphere of the crew is different. If Zhang Mengcheng wanted to complete the filming smoothly and perform well, he would have considered focusing more on filming. Otherwise, as soon as the TV series airs, even the small supporting characters who have few episodes of scenes perform better than him, how can he still have face?
It’s just that Zhang Mengcheng is in a dilemma about how to communicate with his agent. When Tao Mu said this, he directly took the responsibility.
Zhang Mengcheng believes that his agent will not object to this request even if he sees the relationship between Tao Mu and the company’s top management. What’s more, Tao Mu also promised that after the completion of the development, the company will give him some resources.
From the fact that Luo Xiken went to H Town to visit Tao Mu in the first month of the first month, Zhang Mengcheng would never doubt whether Tao Mu’s promise could be fulfilled.
Tao Mu looked at Zhang Mengcheng’s excited expression, and hooked the corner of his mouth indifferently. Although he directly put pressure on Zhang Mengcheng in the name of an investor, it is estimated that Zhang Mengcheng would not object. But Tao Mu has always been accustomed to slap a sweet jujube in the face. It’s better to work willingly than to slack off with resentment.
Twenty minutes later, the crew resumed filming. This time, Zhang Mengcheng, who had adjusted his emotions, was possessed by the drama, and it was over in one go. The next few scenes were also very exciting. Especially in the particularly important part of the plot, when the male No. 2 played by Zhang Mengcheng tried to develop Su Dingbang as an offline, he spoke a monologue of the family and the world. Zhang Mengcheng’s emotions were full and impassioned. The people who listened to the live radio were enthusiastic. When the director called cut, everyone couldn’t help applauding Zhang Mengcheng.
In the last life, because of Zhang Mengcheng’s constant distraction, this episode was just normal, obviously not so appealing.
Tao Mu was quite satisfied with such a change. He likes this kind of shooting atmosphere where all the crew members play together. Enjoy filming yourself.
Because the shooting went well. The director temporarily decided to move the street battle explosion scene to be shot in the afternoon to the morning. All props and pyrotechnics began to set up the set. Check the breakpoints and position times over and over again.
The scene to be filmed is the scene where the male No. 2 is chased and killed by the R people. The male No. 2 was found by the R people when he was evacuating after completing the mission, and was injured after a gunfight. Because of the explosive scenes, everyone was checked very strictly.
Long Tianao and Luo Xi watched everyone filming. During this period, Luo Xi tried every means to talk to Li Xiaozhen: “I really didn’t expect filming to be so hard. It seems that Tao always really likes filming.”
Long Tianao thought that when he first met Tao Mu, Tao Mu was still an unknown martial artist in H Town. for. He let him take the role casually, and could not help but sigh: “Isn’t it? But Tao Mu is not easy. When he was filming in H Town, many people bullied him for not having a backer and a background, and what he did was called a Unethical. Thanks to Tao Mu’s ability, he can bring capital into the group and become an investor himself. No longer afraid of others kicking him.
”
Luo Xi glared at Long Tianao secretly. Li Xiaozhen smiled slightly and looked at Tao Mu on the set.
Seeing this, Luo Xi suddenly smiled and said, “I remember that President Li has never been interested in the entertainment industry, so why did he suddenly think of investing in the film crew?”
Li Xiaozhen’s eyes were always on Tao Mu. He liked to see Tao Mu’s high-spirited and engrossed appearance when he was acting. “Tao Mu asked me to invest, so I invested. I trust his vision.”
Luo Xi hooked his lips and said in agreement, “Yes. President Tao’s investment vision is indeed very powerful. To be able to cooperate with people like President Tao, It is an honor for all of us. By the way, we, Longteng Entertainment and Xia Xing Entertainment, would like to cooperate with
Feixun.com to hold a talent show of “National Goddess and Goddess” again. I wonder if Xiao Heng Capital has any willingness to invest?” Li Xiao He said Without speaking, a loud noise suddenly sounded in front of the studio, followed by a commotion.
“The bombing point suddenly exploded!”
“Someone was injured!”
“Quick! Call 120. Someone was injured…”
Zhang Mengcheng stood there with a look of fear. Just a little bit, if it is replaced by the official shooting, then it is not the stuntman who takes the position for him, but himself.
Tao Mu, who was in the middle of the riot, watched the wounded being rescued by the group from the sudden explosion, clenched his fists and his face was ashen: “Call the police! Call 120!”
Director Zhou Hong and the rest of the crew quickly gathered around , Hearing Tao Mu’s words, his face changed, and he repeated subconsciously: “Call the police?”
The assistant director in charge of the pyrotechnics team rushed up to meet him, and asked in a low voice, “Call 120. If you call the police, I’m afraid the media will not Can you explain?”
Then I couldn’t hold back.
“You must call the police.” Tao Mu said decisively. He remembered that there was no explosion accident in the crew of “The Great Wall of Flesh” in his previous life. It doesn’t make sense to change him in this life and something will happen to him. Unless someone is deliberately doing something – it’s
no wonder Tao Mu has conspiracy theories. His family knew about his family affairs, and Tao Mu’s luck was not very good in his past and present life. Part of this bad luck is caused by the halo of cannon fodder, but more often it is man-made.
This accident, if it is God’s will, even if he is unlucky. But if it was artificial… Tao Mu clenched his fists calmly. Whoever wants to die will fulfill whoever!
Li Xiaozhen silently stood beside Tao Mu, quietly held Tao Mu’s hands that were clenched into fists, and broke them apart. Looking at the bloody palm of his fingernails, he frowned fiercely.
