Chapter 78 Yang Family Will Premiere

  After getting off work, He Mu and Shi Shi walked back together. Along the way, Shi Shi didn't say a word, and He Mu couldn't bear this atmosphere. On purpose, he put his arm around Shi Shi's shoulder and pretended to be relaxed: "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll cook today." Since teaching Shi Shi how to cook, He Mu had become increasingly lazy about cooking himself.

  Shi Shi threw off the hand on her shoulder, "Don't bother me, I'm annoyed."

  "How much longer will you bother me?" He Mu asked.

  "It will be fine tomorrow." Shi Shi replied.

  "This is right, this is the open-minded poem," He Mu was about to subconsciously pat Poem's shoulder, but she glared at him and he immediately awkwardly withdrew his hand. "You're annoyed first, I'll shut up."

  At night, Shi Shi brushed her teeth for half an hour, but she still felt the lingering taste of He Mu's kiss. The feeling that made her tense all over and her heart beat faster was still there. Lying in bed, Shi Shi recalled the entire process of filming the kissing scene, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, unaware of the inner struggle she was going through.

  The next day, Shi Shi met He Mu and took the initiative to greet him. As usual, He Mu felt that Shi Shi was indeed a man who could put down his pride, so he personally went into the kitchen to cook a pot of egg drop soup with lean meat to ease their relationship.

  "Mmm, delicious!" Shi shi slurped and sipped her porridge, praising it as she ate.

  "He Mu smiled and said: 'Shi Shi, have you ever eaten pork? Tell the truth.'"

  "Absolutely not."

  He Mu said, "Isn't there anyone who has ever cheated you into eating something, like a bowl of egg and lean meat congee, where it's clearly pork but they say it's beef, and if you're not careful, you'll break your vow."

  Shi Shi suddenly stopped and pushed away her bowl, "You... you..." Her small face turned pale with rage, so angry that she didn't know what to say.

  "What a radiant smile! 'I was just making an analogy. Inside, it's beef that has been stewed for a long time to make it tender. Don't worry and eat with confidence.'"

  Shi Shi picked up a piece of meat and weighed it for a long time before throwing it into her mouth. It's so hard to eat a reassuring meal in these times.

  After He Mu's disturbance, the estrangement between the two people was finally completely eliminated.

  ——————

  Today, during the filming break, He Muxi's agent Da Tang rushed over from the capital. Because "The Young Yang Family Generals" is about to be broadcast on the movie channel in Shanghai, and also introduced by Taiwan's CTS, He Muxi needs to participate in a series of promotional activities with the main creators of the drama group. Da Tang was worried that the two newcomers would not be able to handle it, so he rushed over to oversee things personally.

  "The Young Yang Family Generals" was highly anticipated by Huayi Brothers, China Film Group and Huanrui Century, but encountered trouble during the censorship process and failed to obtain a broadcast license. As a result, the agreement with Anhui TV was terminated, and it ended up being broadcast on a local station instead.

  The influence of a TV series, whether it goes on air or not, is crucial, especially for large productions like this one with tens of millions invested. If it doesn't go on air, it would be a huge loss. Local channels may have great influence in certain regions, but their coverage is too small and can't compare to the national influence of satellite TV. Just like Hunan Economic Channel has a high status in Hunan, but what most people across the country know is still Hunan Satellite TV.

  Although Xiao Fang's father was the leader of Radio and Television before, at this time he could only scold Radio and Television for being blind. Fortunately, his father still had connections, and this matter still needed to be resolved by him. Now it has a bit of a head start, but wanting to go on satellite TV will probably have to wait a few more months. It seems that the wind is quite strong this time. If not for He Mu Shi's fame and influence, Xiao Fang really didn't want to get involved in this matter. After all, he was just a small shareholder, and the biggest beneficiary after going on satellite TV would still be Hua Yi Brothers, who invested the most.

  The situation of "Young Yang Family Generals" is just the opposite of "Soldier Assault", which has already completed post-production. The former was eagerly sought after by satellite TV stations, but no permit was granted, so it couldn't be bought; while the latter had all the necessary documents, but no satellite TV station showed interest in it. Xiao Fang is now worried about the sales channel of "Soldier Assault", despite having the support of the army, but ultimately it may still end up being sold cheaply to a local station.

  Due to Hu Ge's injury, the promotional campaign for "The Young Warriors" was not very intense. There was one press conference, two TV promotions, two print media promotions, and three online platform promotions. As Hu Ge was absent, He Run Dong promoted the drama in Taiwan, while Chen Long was busy filming elsewhere and wouldn't stay in Shanghai for long, so the mainland promotional work mainly relied on He Mu.

  He Mu and Shi Shi were very tired these two days, their schedule was almost accurate to the minute, what time they should start filming, what time they should accept TV interviews, what time they should accept newspaper interviews. The two assistants didn't have much experience, fortunately Da Tang was there, otherwise they would be in a mess.

  While being busy, He Mu's exposure rate has also increased day by day. With the hot broadcast of this war drama on the Oriental Movie Channel, He Mu was recognized by people for the first time through the TV platform. In these days, the number of followers of his blog and the number of fans in the bar have surged, even the crowd of onlookers during filming has increased. Perhaps from this moment on, He Mu can proudly say "Actually, I am an actor".

  In addition, on the first day of Da Tang's arrival in Mo Du, he met Cai Yiniang, the master of the Tang people, and he took charge of introducing the new play for the two.

  He Muxi came to the Tangren headquarters in Magic Capital for the first time. This time they were going to discuss matters related to cooperation.

  Because the project "The Legend of Diao Chan" was temporarily shelved, in order to make a profit next year, Tong Hua quickly planned a new drama called "Liaozhai's Strange Women". At the beginning of this year, the hot broadcast of "New Liaozhai Zhiyi" made Tong Hua see the unlimited potential of this subject matter. Therefore, this "Liaozhai's Strange Women" continued the style of the previous one, finding a group of handsome men and beautiful women to re-enact the love story of Liaozhai, but this time with a focus on female roles, so it was named "Liaozhai's Strange Women". The play is divided into four units: "Lian Cheng", "Xia Nü", "Xin Shi Nang" and "Huan Nang". Cai Yiren said that the two female protagonists of "Xia Nü" and "Xin Shi Nang" can be chosen by Ren Shishi, except for "Lian Cheng", He Mu can choose the male protagonist of other units.

  Cai Yizhong has also contacted many well-known actors, in addition to Wu Qilong and Fan Wenfang from "Lian Cheng" and Sun Li (Huang Lei's wife) from "Eunuch Girl" have confirmed their roles, other actors are still in talks, she can let Shi Shi He Mu choose first is undoubtedly seeing the potential of both.

  They both made their debut in "The Young Yang Family Generals", and next year, there is another highly anticipated "Flight Attendant". Almost everyone in the industry thinks this drama has a good market prospect. It can be confirmed that after these two dramas are broadcast, the popularity and reputation of the two will increase greatly. At that time, Tang Ren will take advantage of the momentum to release "Liao Zhai Qi Nu", and He Mu Shi will definitely add color to this drama. By then, no one will think about He Mu's rustic "Soldier Assault".

  Cai Yizhong took out three units of scripts and let them choose.

  "You choose first." He Mu let Shi Shi go first, this play is mainly about the female protagonist, and the male protagonist is just a supporting role, He Mu didn't take it to heart.

  A heroic woman, a little fox, Poetic Poetry looks at this and that, finally holding the script of "Xin Shisi Niang" to look at the Tang Dynasty, "How about this?"

  "It's fine as long as you like it." Da Tang said nonchalantly. He wasn't good at scripts, he believed that Shi Shi would make the right choice on her own.

  Shi Shi chose "Xin Fourteen Niang", He Mu was about to choose, Da Tang said: "He Mu also chose 'Xin Fourteen Niang'."

  "Hey, Brother Tang, I haven't chosen yet."

  "What's the difference which one we choose, the male lead in the chat room is almost always a weak and bookish scholar, they all look the same, whether it's Feng Sheng or Li Sheng, they're all about the same. You and Shi Shi can take care of each other when you're together, so let's just settle on this."

  The Great Tang Dynasty decided with one hammer strike, and thus it was decided that this would be the third collaboration between Hawick Lau and Yang Mi, as well as their last collaborative television drama.

  The role was settled, and Datang began negotiating with Cai Yini about the remuneration. When it came to discussing money, He Muo and Shi Shi both excused themselves, leaving the battlefield to the two old-timers in the entertainment industry.

  Shi Shi turned to He Mu when they were alone in the exhibition hall displaying Tangren's excellent works over the years, "Are you that unhappy about acting with me?"

  "What's wrong with me?"

  "What was with your expression just now when Tang Ge asked us to act out a play together?"

  He Miao explained: "I haven't even chosen yet, and he's already letting me act. I'm definitely that reactive, but I think Tang Ge's arrangement is pretty good. We've been cooperating for so long, we've already developed a tacit understanding, and it's still acting as a couple. Who knows, maybe next year we can get a Best Screen Couple award."

  "Who cares about being your best couple anymore." Shi Shi proudly raised her head, but a hint of a smile escaped from the corner of her mouth.

  After leaving the Tang Ren company, Da Tang reminded He Mu and Shi Shi of a few things: first, after finishing filming tomorrow, they would have to come back to the Tang Ren headquarters to take some still photos; second, there was the issue of their pay, with both of them earning 10,000 yuan per episode, although Shi Shi's pay had increased, while He Mu's remained the same as in "Stewardess". Da Tang explained that He Mu's role was very easy-going, with no fighting scenes or wire fu, just some romantic dialogue and a few bookish lines, and his screen time was much less than Shi Shi's. In contrast, playing the fox spirit was not easy for Shi Shi at all, with many fighting scenes and wire fu shots, which also meant that her pay had caught up with He Mu's.

  He Mo said it didn't matter to him, he didn't take money too seriously. After the filming fee for "Stewardess" was settled, his financial crisis also passed smoothly. His next plan is to buy a car, every time he returns to Kyoto, he has to fight with Li Pang for driving, it's inconvenient.

  Then Da Tang mentioned the shooting schedule, because the Hong Kong side has not yet confirmed the film, if it is finalized, He Mu's "Xin Shi Nang" will be shot last among the four single dramas, and it may have to wait until January next year. If the Hong Kong side does not accept He Mu, they can start shooting "Xin Shi Nang" almost immediately after finishing "Kong Jie". So when to start shooting depends on the judgment of the Silver Emperor institution on He Mu, and the judgment will be made this Wednesday.
