After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn - Chapter 21

[Chapter 21]

Tao Mu’s martial arts skills have been widely publicized during this period of time. In order to test Tao Mu’s upper limit, Cheng Baodong and Wang Boyuan not only asked Tao Mu to do a set of sword moves according to the guidance of the martial arts teacher during the audition, but also let Tao Mu play freely and perform several sets of martial arts moves mainly based on fans.

Because the main weapon of the male protagonist played by Wang Boyuan in the movie is the fan, besides the sword.

Fortunately, Tao Mu had learned “eighteen martial arts” (Tai Chi, Tai Chi fan, whiplash, etc.) when he practiced with Lao Song Touchen in his previous life, otherwise he would not be able to cope with Cheng Baodong’s endless performance requirements.

After the audition, Wang Boyuan, who was sitting next to Director Cheng, gave applause without hesitation in front of everyone in the crew, and before Cheng Baodong announced the audition results, he couldn’t wait to canvass for Tao Mu: “I think our little junior brother’s performance is very good. Great . What do you think, Director Cheng?”

Cheng Baodong and Wang Boyuan both graduated from Jingying. The two are from the 98th and the 01st, one is a director and the other is an actor. When Cheng Baodong was a graduate student at school, Wang Boyuan was just studying for an undergraduate degree. The two were a pair of tacit partners at school. Basically, in the stage plays directed by Cheng Baodong, Wang Boyuan will be chosen as the leading actor. This tacit understanding continued until the two graduated. Cheng Baodong made a name for himself in the domestic director circle, and Wang Boyuan also squeezed into the second-tier top actor with the support of the company. Homeopathy has become Cheng Baodong’s royal hero again. Then, under the training of Cheng Baodong, he was fortunate to win the Golden Crow Award for Best Actor. Now he is also a movie star.

With such a bad relationship, there is no need to say much about the friendship between the two. According to the gossip paparazzi, the two lived next to each other in the capital. When the two male owners were filming outside, the female owners would even go shopping and walk their dogs together.

Therefore, Wang Boyuan immediately opened his mouth to keep people before Cheng Baodong’s statement. Cheng Baodong didn’t feel offended by his own directorial authority. He just glanced at his old partner with a half-smile, and then looked at Tao Mu with a serious face: “Your performance is good. I remember you once said that you wanted to concentrate on studying and not acting after school, and for this reason, you turned down the signing invitations of several brokerage companies one after another. Among them, there are many old and big companies. Is there such a thing? ”

Tao Mu was slightly taken aback. Unexpectedly, the first question Cheng Baodong asked him had nothing to do with this audition. But he still nodded sincerely: “Yes.”

Hearing Tao Mu’s answer, Cheng Baodong sneered: “It’s the end of July. Jingying’s registration time for new students this year is August 26th. The filming period is half a year. If you succeed in the audition, you will have to stay on the crew for at least two months. How are you going to arrange this time?”

Tao Mu can be sure, Cheng Baodong is not hostile to himself, but also has a prejudice.

Wang Boyuan frowned, and without waiting for Tao Mu to speak, he directly helped clear the siege: “What kind of problem is this, I’m going to report the big deal, I won’t participate in the military training. Anyway, I won’t have classes during the military training. Lao Cheng, don’t be so serious, you will scare the little one. What about the child?”

But if he did what Wang Boyuan said, it would violate Tao Mu’s previous statement to the brokerage company that he didn’t want to violate the school rules during college, and just wanted to study hard. As a result, in Cheng Baodong’s mind, Tao Mu would undoubtedly become a villain who says one thing and does another!

Although he didn’t know why Cheng Baodong was so disgusted with himself, Tao Mu still calmly accepted the move: “If you just complete the shooting of the martial arts, twenty days will be enough.”

“Yo!” Cheng Baodong looked at Tao Mu and said, “You Are you very confident?”

Tao Mu’s answer was very straightforward: “I have more than confidence.”

Cheng Baodong recalled that Tao Mu had only spent more than half an hour before the audition to absorb the movements taught by Wu Zhi teacher, and In front of the camera, you can’t help but be silent because of the perfect expressive power of flying clouds and flowing water. Then he continued to be embarrassed without giving up: “But why do you think my crew will arrange the schedule according to your time needs?”

“Jianghu Zhiyuan” is full of big names, not to mention the male and female protagonists, even the supporting roles are very popular in the circle. A weighty old drama bone. Tao Mu, a newcomer, couldn’t let so many teachers cooperate with his time.

Facing Cheng Baodong’s assertive words, Tao Mu was also a little confused: “…Isn’t the male protagonist only one fight scene?”

“Far from the Rivers and Lakes” tells the story of Feng Jiuqing, the master of Qiwu Pavilion who likes to pretend to be a weak scholar, and met a princess in a micro-clothing while walking the rivers and lakes. A series of interesting things happened when the two traveled together. When they had mutual affection, the princess was kidnapped by the Khan of the grassland, Feng Jiuqing went to the enemy alone to rescue the princess, and finally the two got married in a costume comedy under the witness of the emperor.

Because of the limited plot, the heroine will have a lot of fighting scenes in the early stage of filming, while the male protagonist played by Wang Boyuan will play the role of think tank and comedy throughout the whole process. There is only a formal fight scene at the end of the film. In addition, there are still some details that need to be revealed to the audience. It doesn’t take long for these actions to add up. Tao Mu has counted about 20 days, and has fully considered that Cheng Baodong likes the finely crafted ink traces when shooting movies.

Cheng Baodong suddenly: That’s true. Hey, that’s not right –

Cheng Baodong raised his eyebrows and looked at Tao Mu: “How do you know the plot? Have you read the script?”

Tao Mu: “…” Can I say that I have seen a movie in my last life?

Obviously not.

Tao Mu said calmly, “Before I came to the audition, Brother Gou gave me a brief outline of the plot. He said that the male protagonist didn’t have many fight scenes.” He filmed with the crew for more than a month, and even if he hadn’t read the script, he could know some of the plot. And before the audition, Gou Rixin did talk to Tao Mu a few times about the plot. Even if Cheng Baodong asked Gou Rixin to verify, Tao Mu was not afraid.

Cheng Baodong released his doubts and continued to embarrass Tao Mu: “But what if I drag your part to the back?”

“That’s Director Cheng’s problem.” Tao Mu was impatient when he was making things difficult for no reason: “I’m here to audition, I just want to let you guys know that I am capable of doing this job.” As for the shooting time, as long as Cheng Baodong was not deliberately embarrassed, it would be absolutely fine to finish the shooting within 20 days. Otherwise, Tao Mu would not have rashly participated in the audition.

Cheng Baodong stared at Tao Mu for a while, then suddenly laughed: “It’s a bit interesting. Your response in “The Legend of Heroes” was too smooth, I thought you had no temper when you were young!”

Tao Mu patiently explained: “It’s not that I have no temper. It’s just that there is no need to lose my temper.”

Cheng Baodong sneered: “Then show me your temper!”

Tao Mu: “…” I’m so tired, I don’t want to make friends!

Wang Boyuan smiled and said , “Young people are good-tempered, isn’t it? By the way, let’s decide on the audition?”

Cheng Baodong snorted: “I’ll choose a martial artist for you, if you think it’s fine.

Wang Boyuan looked at Tao Mu with a smile: “Old Cheng is like this, you will know it after getting along for a long time. Don’t be afraid.” Tao

Mu nodded obediently: “Thank you Teacher Wang. Thank you Director Cheng.

” There is not yet the ethos of calling everyone a teacher in later generations. Wang Boyuan has been in his career for many years and has been called Lao Wang, Brother Wang, Boyuan, and Brother Yuan next door, but he is not used to being called a teacher so solemnly. Hearing Tao Mu shouting like this, he subconsciously rubbed his arms and said with a smile: “Don’t call it so formal. Everyone is from Jingying, so you can call me Shige.”

Tao Mu is good-natured: ” Senior.”

Cheng Baodong hummed With a sigh, he motioned the field manager to take Tao Mu to sign the contract.

The others took their places and started building the set lights.

The heroine Guo Yaning, who had been watching with cold eyes, walked over from the lounge chair, raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, “Why did this child offend you and get so angry?

” Is this guy alright! He is good in kung fu, good in temperament, steady and very polite. Why do you think he is not pleasing to the eye!”

Cheng Baodong took a few sips from his thermos cup full of wolfberry soaked jujube , suddenly said: “It’s not that I don’t like him, it’s Zhao Xin’s indifference!”

Why is Zhao Xin involved again?

All the melon eaters were confused when they saw Wang Boyuan laughing to his old partner Shun Mao: “Director Zhao is also for the movie, there is no way.”

Cheng Baodong snorted: “That’s too bullying.” For the sake of capital, he kicked people, and he was still thinking about their actions. Finally, he spent money to buy out the video and let people change from characters to martial arts. This is all bullshit. Simply shameless.

All the celebrities were stunned. If so, it would be quite inappropriate to do this. How could anyone be so bullying.

“Yeah! Even if a child has no father or mother, he can’t bully like this! Besides, this child is still bought by Old Chen. Even if he doesn’t look after the child, he has to take care of Chen Yiqian’s face, right?” Cheng Baodong thought more and more The more angry, he suddenly said angrily: “This kid named Tao is also spineless. He was bullied like this without saying a word. He also offered to exchange money for the video. He is only mercenary, has no character, is too cowardly, and has nothing to do with our Beijing gentlemen. Explosive temper.”

Although Chen Yiqian is not from the capital, he is not a serious professional. But he lives in the same community with Cheng Baodong and Wang Boyuan. Also an old neighbor. Moreover, Chen Yiqian lives up to his name, his temperament is as modest and helpful as his name, and he is also known for his lack of temper in the circle. This time he was swept away by Zhao Xin for no reason. Cheng Baodong was annoyed at Zhao Xin’s disregard for people’s favor, and he was angry at Tao Mu’s lack of character, and he was also fighting for the old neighbor.

The thing that Cheng Baodong disapproved of the most was that after Chen Yiqian knew that Tao Mu was going to audition for “Jianghu Zhiyuan”, he made a special phone call to him and tried his best to recommend Tao Mu inside and out. In that posture, it seemed that he was still feeling guilty about Tao Mu being kicked out of “The Legend of Heroes”.

Cheng Baodong was puzzled. It was obvious that one of Zhao Xin and Tao Mu was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer. What guilt did Chen Yiqian have? !

“That’s not true.” Many celebrities have persuaded Cheng Baodong. You can’t get angry about other people’s affairs.

Wang Boyuan knew that his old friend was a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted man, but he understood Tao Mu’s approach very well.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Zhao Xin was able to do such a thing was that he didn’t take Tao Mu seriously. It is estimated that in Zhao Xin’s eyes, a little Wutai like Tao Mu, who is not well-known and has little influence, should be allowed to be rounded and flattened. When you use it, you work hard without complaining. You can spend tens of thousands of dollars when you don’t need it.

If Tao Mu knew each other, Zhao Xin could be more polite and say a few good words to get together. In the future, if I have the mood and the opportunity, maybe I can help you. If Tao Mu was ignorant, it wouldn’t bother him. Anyway, in the end, if Tao Mu gave the insider a stinging impression of being ignorant, it would still affect him.

Actors, especially those who haven’t made a name for themselves, certainly can’t have the same personality as a director. Wang Boyuan himself came here like this, so he understood Tao Mu’s approach very well. As for Tao Mu’s ability to do this at a young age, it can only be said that the children of the poor are in charge of the family.

Guo Yaning, who had not spoken much, sneered: “I said Lao Cheng, and you are almost there. I know that you, Cheng Dao, have great temperament and arrogance. But a child who just graduated from high school is really unlucky to put on this place. If something goes wrong, what can he do? He can’t bear to swallow his anger and get more compensation, is it really going to make a fuss so that everyone can’t get off the stage?” Taking a

step back, even if Tao Mu broke out at the time, the matter would have turned around? Or is it that Chen Yiqian has a face?

Thinking about it from another angle, he Cheng Baodong scolded Zhao Xin for being too deceiving, but with all his actions now, didn’t he just use Tao Mu’s lack of background and confidence, so he took advantage of other people’s children!

Cheng Baodong was scolded by Guo Yaning, and he stopped talking angrily.

——As Tao Mu had expected, the fact that he was an orphan was a big killer at some point. The world admires the strong and pity the weak, and it happens that Tao Mu has both. Whenever some injustice is encountered, some people may stand on the sidelines or even gloat, but there are also old-fashioned and warm-hearted such as Chen Yiqian, Wang Boyuan and Cheng Baodong, who feel unfair for him. Of course, all these words of righteousness must also be based on Tao Mu’s own strength.

If someone else couldn’t support the wall with mud, who would have the heart to feel sorry for him?

Ado. Tao Mu got a new job the day after he was kicked out of “The Legend of Heroes”, and the news that he was the hero of the famous martial arts movie “Jianghu Zhiyuan” soon came at the fastest speed. Spread all over town H.

Tao Mu’s phone rang again. There is an endless stream of phone and text messages saying congratulations and congratulations. But this time, no one was clamoring for Tao Mu to treat him—Tao Mu really didn’t have time.

He went to the insurance company as soon as he signed the contract, and consulted about all the terms of Wuxing’s desire to participate in accident insurance. After some selection, he made an appointment with Gou Rixin to the insurance company before he got off work, and pressed him to insure a million-dollar accident insurance.

Gou Rixin didn’t want to. He felt that he just made a phone call for Tao Mu and shouldn’t have asked for this generous gift. It’s a pity that what Tao Mu wanted to do was never impossible, except for those with the surname Shen.

To the end of the dispute over this matter, Gou Rixin carried a million-dollar insurance contract in his arms and dragged Tao Mu to the hot pot restaurant where he ate last time to celebrate. Big Mao and Little Fatty, Gou Rixin’s martial arts brother, and Yu Mei, who had just returned from out of town, were all called over.

At the dinner table, probably because of overexcitement, Gou Rixin, who was a little too drunk, held a wine glass in his hand, and confided a message drunkenly: “…I might be an actor!” After the

words came out, the whole dinner table suddenly changed. quiet. Immediately there was a burst of laughter.

“Yes, yes, yes, Brother Gou will soon become a big star. Come on Brother Gou, let’s meet each other. Don’t forget Gou Rixin’s wealth and honor!” Including Gou Rixin’s martial arts brothers Take this statement seriously. After all, Gou Rixin has always been a character who will shoot guns when he is drunk.

But this time it seems a little different.

“I’m not bragging this time!” Gou Rixin hiccupped and waved his bear paw drunkenly: “It’s the director Xiangcheng who is particularly good at shooting shootout films, the one who filmed “Dove of Peace” before, and I worked with him before. Do you still have any impressions of Wu Tai who was the male lead from the same crew?”

Tao Mu and Gou Rixin are not familiar with each other, so he doesn’t know it. However, the Wuxing brothers who have been with Gou Rixin all the year round have an impression: “You seem to be talking about the previous year, right?”

“Yes, that is the time.” Gou Rixin patted the table: “The filming is over. In the movie, Director Bai said that I was in good condition and would find me to cooperate if there was a chance. I thought he was just being polite. I didn’t expect that he really called me yesterday. He asked me to audition for a role.”

As Gou Rixin spoke, he stretched out two fingers and swayed around his chest to compare a two: “And he’s the number two male!”

Gou Rixin slapped his chest while speaking, giggling with pride and sigh. Said: “You brother dog is in the early stage this time.”

“No way?”

“Really?”

“I’m going, is it really that our brother dog is going to develop from time to time?”

“Everyone can rest assured. Even if you guys are really developed, you will definitely not forget your wealth and honor!” Gou Rixin said as he raised his wine glass.

A large group of people roared, joking and joking. Only Yu Mei was skeptical: “It’s not that you were drunk and talking in your sleep again, right? How come I haven’t heard of you at all?”

Gou Rixin smiled shyly and said, “It’s not too late to say it. Lose your temper with me when you get home…”

Yu Mei snorted coldly, pushing Gou Rixin away angrily: “Did I lose my temper? It’s obviously your suspicion—”

“What do you call my suspicion. If it wasn’t for you and me The assistant director was still sticky downstairs in our house—”

“What is it? People sent me downstairs at night, can I be embarrassed to say a few polite words? You don’t want to either? Think, if I really have anything to do with him, I can still run under your nose?”

Yu Mei’s eyes widened, and Gou Rixin immediately persuaded. Holding Yu Mei’s small hand holding the lady’s fine cigarette, she

smiled and said, “Yes, yes, yes, I’m wrong. I won’t mention this, it’s over.” Laughing: “You always think I’m useless. When I act in this drama, I guess I can make a name for myself in the circle.”

Yu Mei sneered: “Don’t talk so early. I think other director Bai is also You may not be used.”

Gou Rixin smiled and said, “I’ll talk about it later. I mean, in case I’m really popular this time, don’t think about filming in the future. Stay at home with peace of mind, and we’ll live a good life in the future. I’m making money outside, and you’re enjoying yourself at home—”

Yu Mei’s face changed: “Who wants to be a yellow-faced woman at home! The surname is Gou. I’ve told you how many times. I’m Yu Mei coming to H Town. , but also to get ahead. I don’t want to depend on a man for food, and I’m not a woman who can’t live without a man. I also have my career, and I also have my job. Don’t always make decisions about my life. Take care of yourself Come on. You don’t have to worry about my affairs!”

Gou Rixin’s expression changed, “I don’t care? Can I do it! You are my wife, and you let me watch you go every day for a small character with few lines. Laughing with you outside? I told you that I can’t do it. I’ll leave it here today. If you can live in peace, we’ll get married. I’m definitely not a scumbag who abandons the scum when I’m developed. If you You can’t be safe, and you are still sticky with the group leaders and assistant directors on your phone every day, let’s break up as soon as possible, and I won’t delay you—”

Yu Mei’s face suddenly fell: “What do you mean, Gou Rixin? Yo, you are capable! People are not popular yet, so think about changing wives first. Okay, why don’t you just break up. You really think that you won’t find a better man if I leave Yu Mei– ”

Hey, hey, hey, stop it! Stop it! Let’s stop arguing on such a happy day, okay?” Brother has common knowledge. Isn’t he drunk. Brother Gou will break his mouth when he is drunk, and besides, he is also doing it for your own good—”

“What do you mean for my own good…” Yu Mei insisted that she wanted to say something more. Those Wu Xing brothers immediately turned their conversation away: “Sister-in-law eats vegetables, eats vegetables!”

“Sister-in-law drinks…”

“Don’t follow me.” Yu Mei angrily avoided the wine glass, turned her head and asked Tao Mu, “Tao Mu Twilight, tell me, is this my fault?”

Why would you burn the fire on my head?

Tao Mu looked down at the ceiling innocently, and made a decisive decision: “…Brother Gou is not drunk. You can’t be angry with a drunkard, right? If you want me to say that Brother Gou still cares about you, I will buy it for Brother Gou today. The beneficiary, Brother Gou, wrote about you. One million!”

“What?” Yu Mei really didn’t know about this, so she was stunned for a moment, and then she reached out to Tao Mu: “The contract, give it to me. Take a look.”

Tao Mu pointed to Gou Rixin’s bag. Yu Mei immediately pulled over and started rummaging through the bag.

Taking this opportunity, Gou Rixin’s Wu Xing brothers couldn’t wait to change the subject: “…By the way, Brother Gou, since Director Bai called you, are you going to Xiangcheng for the audition this time?”

“No need! Gou Rixin shook his head, and his tongue was a little too drunk: “Director Bai is coming to H Town to shoot the location. He told me to wait for the crew to arrive and just audition in H Town.”

“That’s fine, don’t bother.” Tao Mu followed along with Da Luo, who had been in the show.

With the one million insurance contract at the bottom, and the gags of these people, Yu Mei is not easy to continue to have attacks. Just sitting there drinking and texting.

By the time the dinner party was over, Gou Rixin was drunk by everyone. Yu Mei ignored him and left with her bag. It was Tao Mu and the Wuxing brothers who sent Gou Rixin home.

It was past one o’clock in the second half of the night when I came out of Gou Rixin’s house. Tao Mu took Da Mao and Xiao Pang back to the rental house. After washing up, he watched the ups and downs of M shares and international futures for a while before going to bed.

Early the next morning, Tao Mu officially joined the group “Far from the Rivers and Lakes”.

This time, Cheng Baodong didn’t embarrass Tao Mu anymore. It’s just during filming breaks that Tao Mu is often called behind the monitor to let him observe Wang Boyuan’s camera carefully, and sarcastically teach Tao Mu: “You shouldn’t always think about going everywhere when you’re young. Instead of being comprehensive, it’s better to specialize in acting. In the final analysis, actors still depend on their acting skills.” The truth is this truth, but the reality is not necessarily the case. However, Cheng Baodong’s willingness to say such a thing means that if Tao Mu’s acting skills are up to standard, he is definitely willing to give Tao Mu a chance.

After all, Tao Mu was a native of Yanjing and a student of Jingying, and was born in their circle.

Tao Mu then felt that this Director Cheng was a good person except for his harsh words. At least it’s easier to talk than he thought – after all, in Tao Mu’s plan, he may need more time to impress Cheng Baodong. Even before impressing Cheng Baodong, he had to spend more energy to dispel Cheng Dao’s prejudice against him.

But he did not expect Cheng Baodong to complete the mental journey of prejudice – face up – support – proud of himself in one day. The change in attitude was so fast that Tao Mu almost didn’t react.

Tao Mu has always had the character of “people respect me one foot and I respect others ten feet”. When he came to be Wang Boyuan’s stand-in, he originally had the intention of making good friends with Cheng Baodong and Wang Boyuan. Now that Cheng Baodong is willing to give him a chance, Tao Mu naturally has to work hard.

As a genuine actor of the movie king level, and Cheng Baodong is not afraid to spend time and spare no effort in crafting, Tao Mu’s efforts have the same effect as stupid chicken hazel mushroom meeting firewood and iron pot, which is out of control. So Cheng Baodong and Wang Boyuan were stunned to discover that this young man, who had not really learned acting, was not much inferior to Wang Boyuan’s expressiveness in front of the camera. Even more delicate in some aspects –

which is really amazing!

Cheng Baodong looked at Tao Mu who was constantly doing martial arts on the monitor, and always felt that some of Tao Mu’s expressions and manners looked very familiar.

“What do you think?” Cheng Baodong turned back and asked Wang Boyuan. The tall and tall Wang Boyuan

was lying on the back of Cheng Baodong’s director’s chair, with his arms on the back of the chair, and scratched his chin with his hand: “I also feel a little familiar.”

In a flash, they said in unison, “Like Yan Sheng!”
