After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn - Chapter 284
[Chapter 283]
I don’t know if I really admit it, or I have to admit it because of Li Xiaoqiang’s presence. Cheng Baodong’s attitude at the dinner table was quite good, especially he toasted his guilt, and took a low attitude of punishing himself with three glasses. From time to time, he looked at Li Xiaozheng sitting next to Tao Mu, for fear that Tao Mu would rely on the Li family’s favor. Forces oppress people.
The eye drops were so obvious that Dean Liu and Guo Yaning who were on the table were embarrassed. Cheng Baodong was originally from a compound and has a arrogant temper. In recent years, because of his actual performance, he has been praised by filmmakers and investors too high. Now that he suddenly puts down his body, he still can’t hold his face. Therefore, it is inevitable to act with restraint, and it is quite deliberate.
Fortunately, since Tao Mu was here, he never thought of putting on airs to embarrass Cheng Baodong. It wasn’t that Tao Mu wanted to laugh at his grievances, but it was just for the sake of President Liu and Guo Yaning. With Tao Mu’s temperament, since he agreed to ask for peace, he would talk about the scene beautifully. Embarrassing Cheng Baodong at the dinner table is not to embarrass Cheng Baodong, but to embarrass President Liu and Guo Yaning.
Sure enough, seeing Tao Mu drinking a glass of wine neatly, Dean Liu and Guo Yaning both had smiles on their faces. Quickly talk and greet each other, and the atmosphere at the dinner table becomes lively for a while.
Cheng Baodong’s side is accompanied by his agent and Wang Boyuan. Speaking of which, Tao Mu and Wang Boyuan had some fate. When Tao Mu was acting as a substitute for Wang Boyuan, Wang Boyuan felt that Tao Mu was not something in the pool. On the set, there is the intention of pulling together. It’s a pity that although Wang Boyuan has a good vision, his temper is indecisive. For fear that Wang Boyuan would suffer a loss if he took the initiative to show goodwill to Tao Mu, there were all kinds of restraints, both overtly and secretly. When most of the entertainment industry was scrambling to please Tao Mu, Wang Boyuan’s icing on the cake was unnecessary.
This time Jingying is going to make a big movie. Wang Boyuan, as an outstanding graduate of Jingying, a first-line superstar in the circle, and the best partner of Cheng Baodong, will naturally join forces. Although he failed to win the double male lead, Wang Boyuan’s role in the film is also a male supporting role with a heavy role. He was the instructor who had trained the male protagonist back then, and was later sent to perform tasks abroad. The hero and several other special forces in the film went on missions to support Wang Boyuan’s role.
It is also because of this that Cheng Baodong wanted to run a double male lead for Wang Bo. In Cheng Baodong’s view, Wang Boyuan, as a first-line superstar in the circle, can compete for the top spot, but he didn’t expect to kick the iron plate. The mutton was not eaten and ended up in a show. Even Wang Boyuan himself felt very embarrassed.
Fortunately, Tao Mu didn’t want to bother with Wang Boyuan. Several people chatted about film preparations at the dinner table. Guo Yaning also asked for a cameo role for fun. A meal can be considered a good time to disperse. During the banquet, Dean Liu also successfully persuaded Mr. Li, who had made it clear that he had come to support his boyfriend, to invest 20 million in the film, plus 40 million from Tao Mu Film and Television Company, and 40 million from the Beijing Film School and Huajing Studio. 20 million, the crew has not yet fully prepared, the filming funds have been pulled to 80 million. Dean Liu, who was a little too drunk, even said excitedly that he would find a way to attract two more investors and try to increase the shooting cost to 100 million. At that time, it is also a publicity point.
For many peers in the industry, even ten years later, it is not easy for a movie to attract an investment of 100 million yuan. But for capital parties like Tao Mu and Li Xiaoxiang, it is not difficult to find two more investors for 20 million yuan.
For example, Longteng Entertainment and Xia Xing Entertainment, who have been cooperating happily with Tao Mu, as long as Tao Mu makes a phone call, raising 20 million is not a problem at all. Even if you go home and tell your family, whether it is the Fengxing Group or the Li family, they can give 20 million.
Cheng Baodong originally had many criticisms about the right to speak. Seeing that the filming capital of the crew has risen, as a commercial film director, he has never made a large production with a capital of more than 100 million yuan. It’s almost like a Hollywood blockbuster. Considering the huge benefits involved, Cheng Baodong didn’t say anything.
The battle of morale is important, but it is not so important that Cheng Baodong needs to fight for his career achievements. Even Cheng Baodong’s attitude towards Tao Mu was more attentive. For fear that Tao Mu’s dissatisfaction would really squeeze him out as a director – although this kind of thing seems unlikely to happen at the moment.
On the second day of the dinner, the news that Jingying and Taomu Film and Television Company were going to make a big commercial movie with a shooting cost of more than 100 million yuan immediately spread throughout the entertainment circle. Like a drop of cold water falling into a hot oil pan, the already lively entertainment circle immediately exploded. Major media have reported and reprinted. Invariably, this film is compared with those big-budget Hollywood blockbusters, and even the film is compared to “the light of the rise of domestic films”. Tao Mu and the investors behind him have also become representatives of conscientious producers in the industry. Because of this 100 million shooting cost as a gimmick, “The Sword of the King of Soldiers”, which has not yet officially launched, instantly topped the major hot search rankings and news headlines. Many artists and actors who can get in touch with Jingying are looking for ways to get in touch, and they all want to play a role in the movie.
For Tao Mu’s fans, “The Sword of the King of Soldiers” is also the first time for Tao Mu to play the leading role in a movie. This young and handsome idol made his debut three years ago. He is very different from those artists who devoted themselves to developing in the film and music world. Tao Mu has been repeatedly evaluated by the media as “the most unprofessional actor in the entertainment industry”. Because every time he makes a big splash, either in the financial sector or in the financial sector.
Obviously he was born as an actor, and he studied in the performance department of a film and television school, and he has done very few serious works. The producer’s work was a great success. An actor won the title of a domestic gold medal producer. Even Feixun.com, founded from scratch, has become an indispensable social software for young people in China. The real-name registered users immediately exceeded 200 million. Not to mention achievements in financial markets.
It is a very face-to-face thing for fans to have such an idol who can toss. However, more often than not, it is also a painful thing. Because Tao Mu does not participate in commercial performances except for filming, does not receive announcements, and even has few scenes in film and television dramas. The clipped video of Danmuan.com does not exceed 20 minutes. This inhumane trip lasted for three years, and one can imagine how much Tao Mu’s fans were holding back.
The long wait has finally come to light. With the completion of “The King of Soldiers”, everyone can finally look forward to the summer vacation next year. For the main male lead, at least a 20-minute CUT can be cut out of an episode. For many fans, it’s just commonplace. For ceramics, this is probably the happiest thing in the world.
Not to mention “The King of Soldiers” followed by “The Sword of the Soldier King”. A TV series broadcast during the summer vacation, a big movie dedicated to the National Day, which means that Tao Mu can be seen in the second half of the year!
For a while, fans of Tao Mu’s Feixun and the official Feixun of “The Sword of the King of Soldiers” have fans punching in every day. In this ecstatic and almost impetuous atmosphere, “The Sword of the King of Soldiers” finally started.
On the day of the opening ceremony, all the famous media in the entertainment circle came to cheer. The location of the opening ceremony is set in the auditorium of Jingying. The atmosphere was a bit like that of the school’s swearing-in meeting. At the beginning, there were speeches from the principal, as well as the military and other leaders.
Tao Mu and several other actors were all wearing their combat uniforms when they were filming, and sat on the podium in unison. The young men in their twenties, who had just come out of the army for half a year of training, sat there upright, standing tall and straight like poplars. The sharp edge is full of vigor, and it makes people’s eyes shine.
In contrast, Wang Boyuan, who is also an important supporting role and also appeared in a combat uniform, is not so energetic. At least at first glance, it can’t be seen that it is a soldier.
However, considering Wang Boyuan’s special status in the film, he has not undergone military training, but it is more in line with the character’s setting in the film.
The opening ceremony went to the question-and-answer stage with reporters later. All the media reporters raised their hands, all directed at Tao Mu. The questions asked were also varied, except for movies related to meaning and meaning, almost all of them were asking Tao Mu’s emotional issues. Especially the engagement ceremony two months later. Some media directly asked if Tao Mu would invite the media or friends in the circle to attend the ceremony.
The media will definitely not be invited. But all the friends in the circle got there. Tao Mu joked: “I have been in the circle for so many years, and I have followed a lot of people. Of course, I have to take this opportunity to come back. Everyone can not come, and the red envelope must be delivered.”
One sentence made everyone burst into laughter. Another reporter asked about Tao Mu’s songwriting. After all, the registered users of Feixun.com exceeded 200 million immediately. Everyone wants to know when Tao Mu will sing. Some people even began to look forward to what gifts Tao Mu would give everyone when the registered users of Feixun.com exceeded 300 million.
Tao Mu didn’t want his existence to leave the impression that the rest of the crew were taking the lead. So I didn’t answer too many questions unrelated to the movie, just let everyone pay attention to his official Feixun. Then he gave the microphone to Wang Boyuan and others.
After the opening ceremony, all the actors finished their makeup photos. The style of the makeup photos inherits the tradition of all war films, and they all highlight the temperament of tough guys. Tao Mu stood alone in front, wearing a combat uniform, with thick camouflage makeup on his face, and holding a submachine gun. Wang Boyuan and several other main actors stood on both sides of Tao Mu in a herringbone pattern. The background of the poster was the smoke of gunpowder and war. , the visual effect is very rough and grainy. In addition to this, one-person posters of each were also shot. As the most popular actors in the circle, Tao Mu and Wang Boyuan’s posters were madly robbed by many fans as soon as they came out. Li Xiaoxiang, who has always considered himself a fan of Tao Mu, even carried Tao Mu on his back, secretly customizing a photo of Tao Mu’s life-size poster and hanging it on the office wall.
But Tao Mu still didn’t know about it. Because the makeup photo was finished, the rich and powerful crew went directly to Africa to shoot the location.
