After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn - Chapter 224
[Chapter 223]
The atmosphere instantly quieted down.
Tao Mu turned to look at Li Xiaozheng. Li Xiaozheng was looking at him with an expression like “I’m not jealous, I’m not jealous, I just ask casually”. The crystal chandelier exudes warm yellow light from the top of the head, reflecting a stream of light on Li Xiaozheng’s gold-rimmed glasses. Even so, why was Tao Mu still able to see that Li Xiaozheng’s eyes behind the lenses exuded a “smear” light?
Why use the word “youyou”?
Tao Mu blinked and decided that it was because Li Xiaozheng’s eyes were too penetrating! It has been possible to pass through the lens directly to the depths of his cerebral cortex.
Tao Mu swallowed his saliva, his mind was running fast, and he answered cautiously: “I think, about the red carpet female companion… I can actually walk the red carpet with the director and the rest of the production team.
” Tao Mu felt that his answer was perfect. He was almost crying by his own cleverness.
However, Mr. Li was not satisfied!
But Mr. Li didn’t say it!
President Li just continued to look at Tao Mu with a faint expression, and suggested with a smile: “Our Li family will customize suits and evening dresses from our exclusive clothing designer every season. If you haven’t decided what to wear on the red carpet, why not I recommend the Li family’s costume designer to you?”
Tao Mu actually didn’t want to be so troublesome. In fact, since the news that he was nominated for the Lingxiao Award for Best Newcomer spread, many international luxury menswear brands came to the door of their own accord and wanted to sponsor Tao Mu’s red carpet dress. It has to be said that the popularity of “Fashion Wind and Cloud” breaking the ratings record one after another has also allowed the domestic fashion industry to recognize Tao Mu’s fashion talent. Therefore, this time, the major brands competing for Tao Mu’s red carpet dress also want to expand the publicity of their own brand from Tao Mu.
So Tao Mu’s original plan was to choose a suit from these brands’ catwalk styles, and just wear it on the red carpet and that’s it.
But their boss Li didn’t seem to think so.
Seeing Li Xiaoqiang’s overly calm expression, Tao Mu swallowed his refusal because of his strong desire to survive. After pondering for a moment, Tao Mu tried to ask: “The Lingxiao Awards ceremony is less than a month away. Would it be too tight to order a dress in such a short period of time?”
“Not at all. Li Xiaozheng immediately answered, correcting Tao Mu’s statement: “There is still nearly a month. The red carpet dresses of male stars are different from those of female stars. Even if they are carefully customized, they will not be as competitive as the evening dresses of female stars. There are many tricks. So we have plenty of time to communicate with the designer. You can rest assured that although this designer is not an internationally renowned clothing master, his craftsmanship is actually no worse than those of the international masters. And this designer is a veteran A native of Shanghai, he will focus on the stature and skeletal characteristics of Orientals in the tailoring process. The suits he makes will be more self-cultivating and fit, and Orientals will look more energetic when they wear them.”
Tao Mu looked Seeing how Li Xiaoxiang was trying his best to sell Amway, he couldn’t help but smile: “If that’s the case, then it’s troublesome.”
“It’s not troublesome at all.” Li Xiaohe pondered for a moment, and continued to test it secretly: “The amount of custom suits required. Size, should I ask the designer to wait for us at Li’s house, or let someone come to you directly?”
Before Tao Mu could speak, Li Xiaoxiang said casually, “New Year’s Day is two months away, and it happened that I My parents also want to make two sets of dresses to go to various charity parties and company annual meetings. If you don’t mind, you can come directly to our house. Let’s measure the size together.”
Tao Mu has already reached his lips and declined subconsciously. swallowed back. He looked at Li Xiaozheng helplessly, the man’s angular face was full of smiles. However, looking at Tao Mu’s eyes, there is a kind of far-fetched pretending to be calm.
Tao Mu hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly: “If my uncles and aunts don’t mind, then I’ll be bothering you.”
“Of course I don’t mind!” Li Xiaoxiang became excited, and his voice involuntarily became louder by two decibels. The face that was pretending to be calm also became bright: “To be honest, our family has been waiting for this day for a long time.”
Without waiting for Tao Mu’s response, Li Xiaohe couldn’t wait to ask again: “Then when are you free, I’ll ask the designer to come over?” Tao
Mu thought about it and said, “Then let’s go this weekend.”
go to school. He just took over the recruitment propaganda drama co-produced with the military. Because I offered to go to the army to experience life, I had to find a way to ask the school for leave. Make sure he can stay in the army and experience life with peace of mind. Such an approach actually violated Tao Mu’s original intention of wanting to go to school obediently. However, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and Tao Mu did not expect that he would be fortunate enough to cooperate with the military to shoot a recruitment propaganda drama with the main theme. And he can also serve as the hero of this main theme military drama.
If this drama is performed well, Tao Mu will not only be able to stand out from other actors of the same age. It can also make friends with the military, and even enter the sight of some big directors. The most important thing is that the film and television company Tao Mu has just established can also gain a firm foothold in the circle because of this drama and keep up with the first-line production team.
Opportunities like this are hard to come by. Tao Mu, who has always been clear about priorities, will of course not let his original thoughts limit his current opportunities. In fact, the reason why Tao Mu had made up his mind to stay in school was to compete for the big movie jointly produced by Jingying and the military a year later. In order to increase the bargaining chip, Tao Mu even had a warm face and a cold ass. Even though he knew that Cheng Baodong didn’t like him, he still joined him just to get familiar with him.
But now, with Tao Mu’s worth rising, and the two TV dramas supervised by Tao Mu have both broken the ratings records of the same subject at the same time, it has caused a heated discussion at a phenomenal level. Tao Mu’s voice in the entertainment industry is also getting heavier. Today, Tao Mu is no longer satisfied with the conventional route of studying honestly and waiting for opportunities with peace of mind.
Tao Mu even thinks very ambitiously that if the recruitment propaganda drama he cooperated with the military can be a great success, then in a year’s time, he may be able to use this qualification to compete for the producer of that big movie. Tao Mu believes that with “The Great Wall of Flesh and Flesh” and the conscription propaganda drama Zhuyu ahead, plus the powerful propaganda tool Feixun.com, and the solid capital of tens of billions of worth, he may not be able to compete with Baodong.
Of course it’s useless to think too much now. The most urgent task at the moment is to film this conscription propaganda drama in a down-to-earth manner, otherwise there is no need to say anything later.
When it comes to her career planning, Tao Mu has always been serious and meticulous, with careful plans, and she has the attitude of forging ahead. When he went to ask for leave, he even prepared that if the school did not agree or the attitude was reluctant, he could take the initiative to repeat the study for a year. Anyway, Tao Mu was studying in Jingying, in addition to wanting to make contacts in the circle, mainly to hone his acting skills. Not in a hurry to graduate and find a job.
So Tao Mu was not in a hurry to graduate at all, it made no difference to him whether he studied for four years or five years. All he needs is the whole process of systematic learning. You need to make up for your shortcomings in all aspects, so that your acting skills can be steady and steady, until you are perfect.
Tao Mu’s thoughts are very thoughtful. Taking into account not only their actual needs, but also the rigor and face of the school rules. He didn’t want to leave a bad impression on the school that he “started to float a little red”. I don’t want other students to have the idea of “since Tao Mu can ask for leave to film, why can’t I”. I don’t want to embarrass the school. Therefore, I took the initiative to propose the suggestion to suspend the school and repeat the study. It is also a good way to let the students of the first and second majors think carefully when they ask for leave to film. Are you really going to take the risk of being suspended from school and going back to school, and also take time off to film? And the works they would rather ask for leave to shoot are really worth their efforts.
“Jingying does have a rule that freshmen and sophomores are not allowed to take time off for filming. However, in the past two years, because the school next door has very loose management of students, many talented child stars have applied for Yanying under the persuasion of the agency. Many Yanying students who have just entered the school will also become famous for filming some idol dramas. This causes students in our school to generally have a state of impetuous anxiety. After all, the careers of actors, especially actresses, are very short. Many girls I am worried that I only started acting at the age of 20, and I have no competitive advantage at all compared to those artists who started working on the set at the age of 17 or 18, and already acted as heroines at the age of 20. Besides, the profession of an actor still pays great attention to actual combat. No matter how good your grades are in school or your performance on stage, if you lack camera experience, it won’t work.”
Therefore, out of this anxiety, Jingying students began to try to take leave to take part in foreign dramas when they were sophomores. After all, Jingying has worked so hard to cultivate good students, and I don’t want these students to end up in the entertainment industry because they have no experience or opportunities, and even have to be forced by the pressure of life, and finally regretfully withdraw from the circle.
However, Jingying’s teaching philosophy is to pay more attention to students’ acting skills after all. While students have just entered school for a year or two and have not finished learning the basics, they go out to film, and their performance skills can be imagined. Therefore, in the past two years, there have been often embarrassing remarks in the industry that “the performance of Jingying students in front of the camera is not even as good as that of Yanying students”.
Acting is actually a skill. Like all arts, except for a small group of geniuses, those who are commonly known as “God rewarding food”, the rest of the people need the accumulation of time and time. There is no way to widen the gap in the quality of teaching without a lot of practice making perfect.
In the past, people in the industry often said that “Jingying produces actors, Yanying produces stars”. Although there has been such a statement in the past two years, relatively speaking, the gap in the acting skills of the students from the two art schools has gradually narrowed.
Fortunately, this embarrassing situation improved after Tao Mu entered school. Tao Mu spent his own money for the filming of “The Great Wall of Flesh” and “Fashion”, and during the filming period, he kept pulling the students of Jingying to play supporting roles. On the one hand, the students of Jingying are familiar with the atmosphere of the camera and the shooting atmosphere, and they are familiar in front of the audience. On the other hand, it once again reflects the strong potential and strength of Jingying students. After all, in the eyes of someone who has come here, Tao Mu will be a rare actor and star in the entertainment industry in the next ten years. So when choosing actors, Tao Mu also subconsciously chose familiar faces. And these people can stand out from countless actors and entertainers. Whether it is acting or audience relationship, it is remarkable.
The most important thing is that with Tao Mu as backing, Jingying’s students seem to have found support. Usually study is not so impetuous, but can learn acting skills with peace of mind. Because they all know that as long as their acting skills pass the test, they will definitely have the opportunity to act. Even if outsiders didn’t give him a chance, Tao Mu would still give it.
The Beijing Film School saw these changes in their eyes, and they all agreed with Tao Mu’s approach in private. This time Tao Mu came to ask for leave for the filming. Although it violated the rules of the Beijing Film School, the Beijing Film School also knew that Tao Mu was going to cooperate with the military to shoot a conscription propaganda drama.
With such an important political task down, let alone Tao Mu, even the Beijing Film School felt that it was necessary to be cautious. They didn’t want Tao Mu to be criticized for not being well filmed because of taking into account his studies after the TV series aired. Moreover, the Beijing Film School has another consideration –
“This time you are cooperating with the military to make a military drama, how are you going to choose the actors?”
Tao Mu said directly: “I’d better prepare for the audition. Because it is cooperating with the military, so I also plan to select a group of actors in the art troupe. But no matter who is chosen to play what role, all actors will definitely enter the army for three months after the audition. Including the screenwriter team, they must also enter the army on the spot. Check it out.”
Tao Mu’s character has always been to do it or not to do it. Anyway, he is not short of money, and the actors to be selected are not big celebrities, so there is no need to consider the issue of schedule coordination. All were thrown into the army for collective training. There are characters who can withstand it, and if you can’t resist, just get out.
Moreover, Tao Mu has already bought the copyright of several other military novels. Therefore, in the next few years, film and television companies will definitely continue to make dramas one after another. So these actors are not in vain. If they don’t consider transformation, these military dramas alone are enough for them to shoot for two or three years.
Tao Mu did this mainly because of the other Jingying students who signed in his company. Everyone signed it, so it was impossible for Tao Mu to let everyone stay in the company without filming. Therefore, after buying the copyrights of those military novels, Tao Mu did not let the purchasing department idle, and continued to contact those websites, one after another, all the copyrights of the famous online novels in Tao Mu’s memory were Bought it.
However, these are still in the process of secret rubbing, which are company secrets, and Tao Mu did not elaborate with the teachers.
Even so, the parts that can be said are enough for several teachers to ponder carefully.
Therefore, after approving Tao Mu’s vacation, several teachers also expressed their attitudes to allow students above sophomore year to suspend classes and filming in class. Just considering the professional courses, students who want to take leave must pass the assessment after completing the credits after the leave is cancelled. If the examination fails, the graduation certificate will not be issued.
Compared with the loose management of students by Yanying next door, Jingying’s regulations are still very strict. But even so, it still aroused unanimous cheers from the students of Jingying. After these students cheered, their first reaction was to go to the teacher’s office of the Performance Department to ask for leave. As for the reasons for the leave, they all wanted to interview for the TV series that Tao Mu co-produced with the military, and then go to the army with Tao Mu to experience life.
It has to be said that Tao Mu has successively shot classic works such as “The Great Wall of Flesh and Flesh” and “Fashion”, which have a double harvest of word-of-mouth ratings, which not only made Jingying students taste the sweetness, but also raised the standard invariably. I want to keep doing this classic. Moreover, they all felt subconsciously that if they took time off to film a TV series invested by Tao Mu, it would be easier for the teacher to approve the leave. There are also some students who signed the brokerage contract with Tao Mu’s film and television company. If your own film and television company wants to shoot a TV series and not rush for the opportunity to audition, do you still have to go outside to find food for yourself? They are not stupid!
Snowflake-like leave slips flew towards the office of the Beijing Film Performance Department. Not only the sophomores, but also the seniors and seniors of the juniors and seniors, as well as many graduate students from Beijing Film and Television, have heard the news and rushed back to prepare for the audition for the TV drama. Even Yan Ying next door and the Shanghai Theater Academy thousands of miles away heard the news and began to inquire about the specific time of the interview. He even secretly inquired about Tao Mu’s preferences and the character’s character—there are too many
monks and not enough porridge, so he must be fully prepared.
Tao Mu still doesn’t know the reaction of the outside world. On Saturday afternoon, Tao Mu was invited to Li’s house to measure the size.
This was also Tao Mu’s first visit to the Li family. So before coming to the door, Tao Mu specially bought a lot of gifts, ready to give to Li’s father Li and Li’s younger brothers and sisters. Tao Mu confessed that he was thoughtful, but only when he arrived at the Li family did he realize that the gifts he bought were nothing but a drop in the bucket!
Looking at the lively scene in the Li family mansion – enough people to hold a family party. Tao Mu looked at someone beside him expressionlessly: “Didn’t you say… the family will measure the size and customize the dress?”
“…” Li Xiaozhen looked at Tao Mu inexplicably aggrieved, he didn’t expect the family would Come so many people. Obviously, when he set off to pick up Tao Mu, there were only parents and younger siblings at home!
It’s really not my pot this time!
