“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh……..”

“I can’t, I can’t, I’m going to die…..”

“Wuwuwuwu, I announce that I am Mu Mu’s boyfriend fan starting today…..”

“So beautiful, I really want to marry him home…..”

“I feel like he is prettier than those female stars in the entertainment industry…..”

In fact, after Tao Mu finished dancing, the whole studio was silent for a while. There were hundreds of people in the huge studio, but except for the sound of machines running and snowflakes falling, there was no sound at all. Even Director Zhou Hong forgot to call out ‘Cut’. It wasn’t until a few seconds later, or a few minutes later, as the red figure got up under the street light, did everyone seem to have been awakened by the person in the painting who had broken the spell.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Then the silent studio was instantly filled with uproarious noise. With applause, screams, and shouts of confession, everyone rushed to Tao Mu’s side to ask for photos and hugs. Previously, the class beauty, who had clamored to be Tao Mu’s bankroller after becoming successful, hugged Tao Mu and didn’t let go, crying loudly that she wanted to stop being a woman, and that she was an embarrassment to women. And the boys who were on friendly terms with Tao Mu all knelt down and called Tao Mu Goddess. Even the cast and crew couldn’t help but crowd around, asking Tao Mu how long it took him to practice such a beautiful and difficult dance.

Zhan Baoli, the heroine of the crew who especially loved classical dance and Peking Opera, was also a well-known opera actress in China and even she couldn’t help but praise Tao Mu’s dancing skills. She said that such a beautiful dance was rarely seen in real life, even in film and television dramas. Especially in the second half of Tao Mu’s dance, with all kinds of flipping and aerial martial arts, most girls couldn’t jump with such strength at all. Even male dancers with stronger physical strength were rarely able to jump with such smoothness in coordination with the water sleeves. In particular, Tao Mu’s dance also incorporated a lot of martial arts movements, Peking Opera elements and whipping techniques. It looked heroic and valiant, and it gave people goosebumps.

“It was truly beautiful.” Zhan Baoli sighed for the 108th time: “Who choreographed the dance moves for you?”

Of course it was himself.

Tao Mu had been filming since his last life, and he had also met many martial arts instructors and dance teachers, and had filmed many fighting scenes, so his vision and knowledge were definitely not worse than others. Coupled with the fact that he had entered Beijing Film to study professionally in this life, he had to practice all kinds of modern dance, ballet, folk dance and opera postures. So improvising or something, he wasn’t afraid at all.

But Tao Mu didn’t expect himself to dance so successfully. He originally planned to dance a few more times as he did not expect it to pass in just one try.

As he was talking, he felt a weight on his shoulders suddenly and his body warmed up instantly. When Tao Mu turned around, he saw that Li Xiaoheng had walked up to him at some point and draped a down jacket on him.

“Aren’t you cold when you wear so little?” Li Xiaoheng said, squatting down and zipping Tao Mu’s down jacket. The long black special down jacket covered Tao Mu from head to toe, causing his body to immediately warm up.

Only the thin layered red silk dance shoes still on his feet could be seen, and as they stepped on the snow, it looked very cold indeed.

“Why don’t you go back and change your clothes first?” Li Xiaoheng frowned, disapproving of Tao Mu wearing so little and chatting with everyone in the snow. It was not good for the body if he caught a cold.

Everyone was slightly taken aback. And for some reason felt that the atmosphere in front of them was a bit weird. Long Tianao blinked his eyes blankly, and laughed carefreely: “CEO Li is worthy of being the most valued partner of CEO Tao, caring about CEO Tao’s physical condition this much. You see, we were all only paying attention to CEO Tao’s beautiful appearance, only CEO Li cared about whether Tao Mu was cold or not.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt even more weird.

The originally noisy and boiling set was quiet for a moment. Tao Mu coughed lightly and said, “It’s really cold. I’ll go back and change my clothes first.”

Class beauty Jiang Cheng raised her paw and asked, “Tao Mu, can I borrow that costume of yours? I want to take some pictures wearing it.”

As soon as these words came out, many girls echoed in agreement. Even the female No. 2 and No. 3 in the crew couldn’t help making this request. There was no other reason, it was because Tao Mu danced so beautifully just now in it.

Tao Mu sneezed, and glanced at the three roommates who were hiding in the crowd while smirking: “Okay. But the three of them will go first. After they are dressed they can do a dance, just take it as promoting our crew.”

“Why us?” The three roommates wailed. As if they were relaying ‘baby won’t do it, baby will make trouble’: “We are men, we don’t wear women’s clothes.”

Tao Mu looked at the three roommates, let out a hehe, and repeated without a smile, “Bao’er, could it be you think it’s too embarrassing for a grown man to dress up as a woman and dance? Actually, don’t put too much psychological burden on yourself. As an actor, you need to play all kinds of roles. Acting the opposite sex is also part of acting. At most you will just be experiencing it in advance.”

Wen Bao: “…..” What do you call digging a hole and burying yourself? This.

“That doesn’t work! You look at your height of 1.82 meters, and I’m only 1.75 meters tall. I can’t wear those clothes.” Wen Bao was still struggling to the death. Du Kang who had been heckling particularly loudly earlier also echoed: “I’m 1.89 meters tall, and I can’t wear these clothes. Xiao Anzi is about the same height as you though. He can wear it.”

Chu Sui’an, who was standing on the side quietly was dragged out by his roommate, an innocent stumbling across a crossfire: “…..” Meow Meow Meow?

“No!” Before Chu Sui’an could speak, several female classmates in Beijing Film were already screaming in protest: “You can’t let a bunch of stinky men wear such a beautiful costume.”

Jiang Cheng hugged Tao Mu’s costume tightly, and hugged Tao Mu who was wearing said costume along the way: “This is for us girls to borrow. Let them change to other women’s clothes. Anyway, this is H Town. There are all kinds of costumes. If it doesn’t work, we can lend them our Republic of China female student uniforms.”

These words inspired many classmates: “By the way, didn’t Wen Bao dance yangge at the end of the term finals performance play? Let him put on a student uniform and wear a big red silk scarf to dance yangge.”

After being reminded by his classmates, Wen Bao suddenly realized. That’s right, his own crossdress show had long been offered up already. Then this wasn’t the first time for him at all, so why was he acting like a shy virgin girl?

The dark devious eyes swept over Tao Mu without a trace. Wen Bao knew in his heart that Tao Mu’s performance was too good just now, which made everyone feel a little psychological pressure.

But how could one say it, being able to live in the same dorm with a black-bellied guy like Tao Mu and get along very well, the three roommates were also quite thick skinned fellows themselves. Hearing these words, he no longer shied away, and squeezed into the girls’ changing room like a silly roe deer, looking for girls’ school uniforms from the Republic of China everywhere——he really was ready to dance it seemed.

And it was not only them who would crossdress, but also the entire cast of actors were also dragged down the pit with them——bah, dance with them. Except for Zhan Bin and other veteran teachers who they did not dare to approach, the others were all harassed by Wen Bao and the others. Not even Director Zhou Hong and Screenwriter Fan could escape their clutches.

Tao Mu went back to the dressing room to remove his makeup and costume. When he came out again, all the actors in the crew were wearing cheongsams or schoolgirl outfits that was a sight enough to blind the eyes. A large group of people were standing on the set, contemplating what dance to do——Tao Mu’s ultra-difficult dance definitely didn’t need to be considered. It was best to keep it simple and easy to use. Some even suggested radio calisthenics.

The large group of people stood on the set, and Tao Mu had a flash of inspiration. He remembered a dance move that was very popular in later years. He gathered everyone in the middle of the set, clapped his hands and said, “Dance with me. Come, get ready, one, two, three, four…..”

Everyone looked at Tao Mu in unison, seeing Tao Mu’s upper body remaining still and only his feet sometimes kicking forward, sometimes sideways, the movement was simple and smooth, there was basically no difficulty, but it looked quite cool.

Everyone present, most of them had attended professional training schools. Even Director Zhou Hong and Screenwriter Fan practiced voice, stage presence, posture and appearance when they were in college. Such a simple action certainly couldn’t beat them. So under the leadership of Tao Mu, the large group of people quickly began dancing.

Soon after getting high from the dance, Tao Mu even pulled his Yao Dad and Xiao Qi Dad in. It wasn’t until the crew’s post-production came over to say that the video of Tao Mu’s dancing had been edited did everyone stop.

Tao Mu said that he wanted to promote the crew, and his way of publicity was also very simple and crude. He directly titled the video “Dancing at the Filming Site of “The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood”, uploaded it directly to FlyNews.com’s official account, shared it by himself, and then @ “The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood” official FlyNews account.

Zhou Hong indicated that the staff in charge of managing the official FlyNews account of the crew also shared it.

The netizens who have been waiting to be fed on the Internet have finally waited for this video and couldn’t wait to click it. Then——

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh…..”

“So beautiful!”

“The posture is also too good!”

“Are you sure it’s not a stand-in? Wasn’t it filmed and edited? Isn’t there a hanging wire? I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! I don’t believe this dance was done in one go!”

“The one who asked if it was a stand-in, are you blind? Except for a few fixed-frame top-down angles, this video was shot with a long camera. Yet someone is asking if it’s a stand-in if it was edited or not? Go see a doctor if your eyes are bad!”

“The water sleeves are thrown with so much strength and power!”

“The last pose was so beautiful, I cried at how beautiful it was.”

“I don’t know why, our Mu danced so beautifully, but I cried after watching the dance.”

“I cried too.”

“Cry +1”

“Water sleeves, Peking Opera postures, a few martial arts moves and the nine-tail whipping technique, wow, our Mu knows a lot of things.”

“Am I the only one who thinks the background music is particularly good? Especially the last gunshot, and then the twirl and fixed opera pose at the end, wasn’t it amazing? Got goosebumps in an instant.”

“The people upstairs talk a lot. I just want to ohhhhhhhh…..”

“I announce that I will be Tao Mu’s boyfriend fan from now on.”

“My motivation for work is to make money and marry Tao Mu home!”

“Upstairs, that is a bit difficult. I don’t fully agree, our Mu is now a rich daddy worth billions. And that’s in US dollars!”

“…..The idol I fan is not only handsome, good at acting, but also rich, what should I do?”

“What else can you do, of course, to continue loving him!”

Most of the netizens who only knew how to lick at good looks only cared about licking the screen after seeing the video, ohhhh woof woof ahhhhh. After seeing this dance, professional dancers and artists began to analyze this dance in terms of technical difficulty and emotional rendering. Some people noticed that the title of Tao Mu’s dancing video was “Filmed on the set of “The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood”, and then followed the title to find the “Great Wall of Flesh and Blood” crew’s FlyNews account, searched for the synopsis, and some people even bought the original novel.

After reading the synopsis, they immediately understood what Tao Mu was trying to express in this dance. So they switched back to their own FlyNews account, and analyzed from the background of the times during the Anti-Japanese War to the reason why Tao Mu danced this dance. The country was in danger of being destroyed, the motherland was at stake, and the nation’s people were faced with the matter of survival. The innocent girl in the boudoir would finally put on combat uniforms and pick up guns to fight on the battlefield. Even if she ended up sacrificing herself to the revolution in the end, it was also necessary to use flesh and blood to form the Great Wall to keep the invaders out of the country.

——Now the bright peaceful lands of China was washed clean with blood by these revolutionary ancestors.

A eloquent long essay was typed out, which directly made many people cry. Netizens who were easily moved watched Tao Mu’s dance video over and over again, while they searched for the crew of “The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood” over and over again, and even bought the original novel to read. Before everyone knew it, “The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood”, which was originally filmed in a low-key manner, had become well known on the Internet.

Tao Mu pinpointed the time, and asked the “Great Wall of Flesh and Blood” crew to upload the infectious step dance video of all the crew members dancing together to the crew’s official FlyNews account. Adding an especially sentimental voiceover at the beginning of the video that spoke: “The ancestors of the revolution made up the Great Wall with flesh and blood and fought the invaders with all their might, so that their descendants could live like this”——then the video started and one could see a group of dudes wearing female student uniforms of the Republic of China or the cheongsam of concubines, appearing so ‘beautiful’ it blinded the eyes. And dudettes in the red army uniform, with hair done in two big braids, appearing valiant and heroic. All standing in front of the camera and dancing the shuffle.

——The netizens who were quite emotionally moved and on the verge of crying, bursted into laughter when they saw such a group of demons and handsome girls dancing together in a group dance that also appeared particularly cool and handsome.

“This is too funny!”

“Why are the guys made to look so ugly, and the girls are so handsome and beautiful. By the way, our Mu Mu is indeed worthy of being known as a girl’s best friend, all the girls under his lens are very beautiful and handsome!”

“Who the hell came up with this kind of dance, it seems so strange. But after watching it a few times, damn it looks really cool.”

“Really cool +1. And it’s very simple, I can dance it too.”

As some netizens chatted, they even opened their FlyNews accounts and uploaded a video of themselves dancing the shuffle. Netizens were the kind of special existence where someone takes the lead and someone follows suit. So soon, netizens in different job positions, different occupations and different outfits uploaded videos of themselves dancing the shuffle with their friends. The shuffle dance, together with the crew of “The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood”, which was the “originator”, suddenly shot up the hot search headlines.

Of course, as photos of many female classmates changing into Tao Mu’s dance costume came out, many people also started uploading videos of them dancing Tao Mu’s dance. However, the technical difficulty of Tao Mu’s dance was too great, and most netizens tragically pitted themselves. The only few survivors were all professional dancers who were among the best in the industry.

This time, what was recognized by the public faster than Tao Mu’s acting skills, in addition to his net worth and business talent, turned out to be his dancing skills. So Tao Mu was once again crowned “the most unprofessional actor”.

For a while, the entire Internet was discussing Tao Mu’s two dances and the war drama “The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood”. Due to the significant improvement in national popularity, what was different from the previous life was that before the crew of “The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood” had even finished filming, many TV stations had already come to them to buy the broadcast rights of this TV series.

In comparison, Guo Yaning, who also released an album on Valentine’s Day, felt bad——after her album was released, it was swept away by the tsunami that was Tao Mu’s dance video, and no one cared at all.

Guo Yaning, who was really unwilling to see this, called Tao Mu directly to complain, crying and wanting Tao Mu to compensate her for a hot search. Tao Mu had no choice but to say, “In order to fulfill the hundred million users promise, I actually made another dance video earlier. How about you take the video and talk to the people working on your album to match it with a song? “

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

He remembered that in Guo Yaning’s new album, there seemed to be a song similar to Suzhou opera. If it was paired with the dance video, it should be fine too.

Guo Yaning’s eyes lit up, and she stretched out a hand in seconds: “Where is the video, gimme!”

AN: Skit

Li Xiao Gong: I’m clearly trying to find a sense of existence, but my Mu Mu always ignores me ╥﹏╥

Tao Xiao Mu: When I get busy, I forget about the CP, what is love, is it edible _(:з”∠)_

“Why go through so much trouble?”

When Gou Rixin asked Tao Mu with anticipation if he needed the help of the camera crew to record the dancing video, Tao Mu said blankly: “I have already recorded the video before. Just waiting for FlyNews.com’s registration data to exceed 100 million and then I can just upload the video directly.”

Ever since he took the role of Su Dingbang, Tao Mu knew that his winter vacation would be very busy. FlyNews.com had more than 99 million registered users. Tao Mu had always been a person who liked to plan ahead. Worried that when the data exceeded 100 million, he did not have extra time to record the dance video, so in the first few days of winter vacation, Tao Mu recorded the video in Beijing Film’s dance studio. Everything was ready, and all he had to do was just wait for the east wind to arrive, and upload the video to the Internet.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“What?” The crew members, who had been keeping their ears open to pay attention to the situation, looked at each other and couldn’t help screaming in disappointment.

“When did you record the video?” Jiang Cheng, who once played Zhang Wuke in the end of terms finals performance and now played a progressive female student in “The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood”, stood up from behind the prop box with great excitement: “Wasn’t it agreed that the camera crew will help record the video, and you will dance on the set?”

“Who agreed?” Tao Mu was also confused. How come he didn’t know? Also: “Jiang Cheng, why are you hiding behind the prop box and eavesdropping on us…..Your costume has become dirty.”

“That’s not important.” Jiang Cheng looked at Tao Mu with disappointment: “How could you do this, Tao Mu, we have been looking forward to it for a long time.”

Gou Rixin touched his nose in embarrassment: “We all thought you had not prepared it, so everyone discussed how to record the video with you. The reason why I didn’t tell you was because I wanted to give you a surprise.” They all wanted to join in the fun.

Director Zhou Hong also added with great disappointment: “I was also thinking, why don’t we take a break from filming tonight and record the dancing video for you first.”

The lighting and cameramen all nodded. They were also ready. Even the masters in charge of the set were discussing which venue Tao Mu could choose to dance in, and whether he needed help setting up the background or something.

Only to find out, Mr. Tao secretly prepared everything and recorded the video already. So disappointing.

Gou Rixin continued to add: “Also, brother Yao and brother Xiao Qi said they wanted to see the dance in person, and they even bought a plane ticket to rush here, and visit the set as well. If they knew you weren’t going to dance, they would be very disappointed.”

“That’s right!” Several other female classmates of Beijing Film also echoed: “We were also saying, if Tao Mu needed back-up dancers, we could also help out in friendship.”

Tao Mu: “…..” I say, you guys have quite the happy daydreams together, why don’t you know how to communicate with the person concerned (me)?

“I don’t care! We want to watch the dance!” Seeing that the plan was about to fall apart, relying on their familiarity with Tao Mu, the three roommates in dormitory 301 took the lead in heckling. With the thick chopsticks made by the props maker, they drummed a big chipped bowl: “We want to watch the dance!”

“Crossdress as a woman!”

“Watch the dance!”

“Crossdress as a woman!”

Towards the end of the commotion, once the three roommates shouted to watch the dance, the entire crew would echo “crossdress as a woman”. The chant was uttered with such a powerful aura, those who didn’t know might think the crew was filming a demonstration!

——Even when they were actually filming, they were not in such high spirits and full of emotions.

The key was that Gou Rixin was still beating on the side and pretending to be pitiful: “I heard that brother Yao and brother Xiao Qi will also bring dean Tao and Mr. Song here together. In such a cold winter, going through so much trouble, if they can’t watch the dance, they will be very disappointed!”

“Tao Mu, could it be that you think it’s embarrassing for a grown man to dress up as a woman to dance?” Wen Bao winked at Tao Mu: “Actually, you don’t need to have too much psychological burden. As actors, we need to play various roles. Acting as the opposite sex is also a part of acting. At most you are just experiencing it in advance. Besides, you have practiced for so long. Dance it for us. Let us all appreciate it. Either way, everyone will watch the video online. You are going to upload the video tonight, right?”

Tao Mu glared at Wen Bao with annoyance. He thought of what Gou Rixin said that all the family members had bought plane tickets to come to see the dance. There were also the puppy eyes of Wen Bao and the others who were eagerly waiting to join in the fun. He was always reluctant to let down the people around him who really cared about him. And it was the cold winter, it was not easy for the family to travel all the way here——

“But I never thought about dancing on the set. The costume I ordered is back in Beijing, and I didn’t bring it over.”

He finally agreed!

Wen Bao and the others’ eyes lit up, and they immediately said, “That’s easy to handle. What is this place, H Town! If nothing else, there are costumes of all kinds. You just tell us what you want, and we will rent it now.”

“It won’t necessarily fit!” Tao Mu frowned, especially for dancing. Tao Mu’s outfit was customized for him. And including the hairpiece it cost him more than 100,000 yuan!

“Then let someone send you the outfit you left in Beijing!” Long Tianao, who hadn’t spoken much, was also eager, his eyes so excited they practically gleamed: “Where did you put the costume. I’ll give Summer Star’s person a call and ask him to pick it up now.”

It seemed they were really not afraid of the height of the stage when watching a play!

Tao Mu gave Long Tianao a speechless look, and simply called his old man and asked them to go to his apartment opposite Beijing Film before they rushed to the airport, and bring along the dance costume: “…..It’s in the closet. You will see it when you open the door.”

When everyone saw this, they immediately clapped their hands in anticipation. Zhou Hong was particularly interested: “What kind of background scenery do you think will be good, do you want an interior scene or an exterior scene? It doesn’t matter what scene you want, even if you want a stage, we’ll get it for you.”

That was not necessary. Tao Mu looked back at the background scenery the crew was shooting today. The scene to be filmed today took place after the full-scale war broke out, the Japanese invaded Shanghai, and everywhere was gunpowder and scenes of war, but the Shanghai French Concession was still full of song and dance. The Su family had already hid in the Concession in advance, but the Japanese who got the tip captured Su Dingbang who hid in the Concession, and tortured him to force Su Dingbang to defect.

Tao Mu looked at the filming scene, and was suddenly inspired: “No need to change. Just this scene. By the way, let’s also make a promotion for our crew.”

Having said that, Director Zhou Hong still directed the lighting team and camera team to set up the background with great interest. Just one street away, the war was raging outside, but here there was wine, feasting and dancing. A dim yellow street lamp stood quietly beside the street, emitting a dark golden light.

When Liu Yao and company arrived at H Town with Tao Mu’s costume, it was already past seven o’clock in the evening. There was no flight at this point. They were on the Li family’s private plane——yes, Li Xiaoheng, who saw the news on the Internet, also flew over.

When they arrived on the set, it just started to snow. The fluttering snowflakes, like goose feathers, soon covered the ground with a layer of pure white.

Tao Mu changed into his deep crimson costume dress, his face was painted like that of a Peking Opera actress, and the emeralds and diamonds on his hairpiece swayed with his steps. Just walking quietly under the dim yellow light, the dark golden light sprinkling from overhead, splitting the whole picture into two parts. And behind him, one half was war raging, and the other half was singing and dancing. Light and dark were alternately intersecting, just as life and death blended into each other. In an instant, that kind of inexplicable but shocking feeling overcame everyone seeing this.

The studio, which was still a little noisy and turbulent, suddenly quieted down. The lights and cameras were all doing their due diligence. Director Zhou Hong couldn’t help but pick up the loudspeaker and shout “Action” in person.

There was a lingering and meandering sound of the pipa, which was as gentle as jade beads falling into a golden bowl. The first thing that appeared in front of the camera were two crimson sleeves that hung side by side. The arms moved slightly, and the sleeves were hooked, revealing ten slender fingers. The white fingers reflected the layered flowing sleeves, which looked particularly beautiful under the light. Immediately after the index fingers exerted force, tossing the two flowing sleeves upwards. The figure turned around, flipping the flowing sleeves, one flowing sleeve was thrown forward and the other flowing sleeve was thrown backward, and at the same time, the figure turned over and stretched out his arms, the flowing sleeves stretching out to their full length of seven feet. And the crimson flowing sleeves bloomed like a red wave in an instant.

The music paused slightly at this time, allowing Tao Mu the time to freeze in a pose. The lingering sound of the pipa sounded again, Tao Mu neatly rolled in his sleeves, and then threw them into the air again, turning his body at the same time, and throwing both flowing sleeves to each side at the same time, instantly producing billowing red waves that bloomed unbridled against the dark backdrop.

Flecks of snowflakes floated down one after another, the black night, the dark golden streetlights, the crimson dress and the white snow, all painting a devastatingly beautiful picture.

Tao Mu retracted his sleeves and turned around, his whole body gathered strength, and then followed with another side flip. At the same time, his arms swayed, two red sleeves rippling and flying in the flying snow. With the sound of the pipa, Tao Mu leaped into the air, jumping out and touching the golden crown on his head with the back of a foot, the two red sleeves were like arrows flying from the string in an instant, flying up and across the floating white snow, as if Tao Mu was also flying. Immediately following was another big turn, the pipa was gently hooked and the notes slowly trembled like the song of a warbler, and Tao Mu made all kinds of gentle and graceful movements such as lifting, coiling, and raising sleeves in accordance with the music, just like a boudoir young lady with the appearance of a sleeping begonia, innocent and charming.

However, soon, along with the ups and downs of the situation, the current political situation worsened. The lingering sound of the pipa also melted into a slight killing intent at this time. The pipa sounded harshly, like the metallic clanging of weapons and iron-hoofed steeds, and Tao Mu’s dance also changed from the previous soft and graceful to heroic and valiant. The original gestures such as hooking, flirting, twisting, and raising have been reduced. Sleeves were flicked, thrown, with big throws and swings, followed by side flips, back flips, and other moves. Tao Mu was originally a martial artist, and he danced more explosively than if he were a true girl. Before, he specially learned the water sleeve dance and whip method for acting. At this moment, many martial arts movements and whip techniques were integrated into this water sleeve dance. From a distance, the originally gentle and flirtatious water sleeve dance actually gained a warrior-like appearance, permeated with an imposing danger.

The dark moon follows the shadow of the sleeves, and the sword brushes away the frost flowers.

Everyone listened to the murderous sound of the pipa in their ears, and felt cold to the bones. If the graceful dance before only made people feel the elegance and beauty were unparalleled and charming, then the warrior-like dance now with wide and open moves filled with male strength made people unable to bear even blinking their eyes. It was as if their entire soul had been taken away by that dazzling figure, the heart beat violently, and the mouth went dry.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Accompanied by the sound of a gunshot, the fast-spinning figure under the streetlamp suddenly fell to lay down in a classical Peking opera posture, freezing in that graceful pose on the snowy ground. The night was dark, the lights were dim, white snow and crimson dress, and two long flowing sleeves winded through the snow around the crimson figure. The camera looked down from above, giving an aerial view to the crimson sleeves which looked like two meandering bloodstains that stood out shockingly against the white snow and dark sky.

Tao Mu couldn’t bear Li Xiaoheng’s overbearing attitude like he had taken a stimulant, so he couldn’t help but change the subject: “Actually, there are several good online shopping platforms on the market now…..”

For example, Maotao.com, which was very popular in later years, had started Double Eleven activities this year. There was also Gouging.com, which had been competing with Maotao.com, and would also start 618 activities in June next year (TN: mid-year e-commerce shopping festival known as 618/June 18. It’s the second-largest e-commerce shopping day in China—second only to Single’s Day/November 11). This cat and dog war continued even ten years later. The plan that Tao Mu gave to Li Xiaoheng basically covered the various disturbances encountered by the two major online shopping platforms in the next ten years and how to deal with them. In truth, many times, the entrepreneurial team was not short of inspiration, but what was missing was the transformation of inspiration into something practical and maintaining the ability to move forward steadily.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Tao Mu felt he didn’t have that ability, of course, the main reason was that he didn’t have the energy to take care of such a big business. His own FlyNews.com was already taking up too much time, and moreover he also had his acting career. But Li Xiaoheng was different. He had Xiaoheng Capital, and the backing of the Li family. If Li Xiaoheng really intended to start an online shopping platform, at least he didn’t need to worry about the two crucial aspects of capital and logistics. In addition, there was also no need to worry about how to deal with the website needing to communicate and negotiate with all aspects of the problems encountered in the actual operation.

Therefore, cooperating with Li Xiaoheng was the most time-saving and labor-saving way that Tao Mu could think of, and it could ensure the maximum benefit——other than for the troublesome fact that a certain someone who always wanted to eat the grass next to the nest, and harassing his business partner.

But Tao Mu believed that if Li Xiaoheng really intended to do this project, then, with the occupational disease that Li Xiaoheng possessed, being serious and responsible for his work, he would definitely devote all his energy to his work——at least in the early stages of the project.

At that time, Tao Mu could guarantee at least one or two years of respite. As for one or two years later, it was likely that Li Xiaoheng would have forgotten the initial interest he had for him. After all, the various impulses caused by hormones were the most unreliable things.

“If you are interested in doing this project, I can negotiate with major brands about entering the website. Nowadays the world is in an economic crisis, which will definitely affect the sales of major brands. So talking to them about this at this time might be easier than normal.”

As for how to negotiate, Tao Mu would of course not use the normal business negotiation model. Anyway, he also had to discuss with major brands about sponsoring FlyNews.com to film the idol drama. It was better to take this as an opportunity to engage in a large-scale publicity campaign. If the discussion went well, maybe at the beginning of the website’s establishment, they could also collect a publicity and planning fee.

Tao Mu’s abacus was sounding, and he had already begun to think about how to trick——bah, to convince those brand owners. When filming a TV series, how about designing a makeup look or style, or a classic first appearance scene for each brand?

Li Xiaoheng sat next to him, looking at the seriousness of his partner who threw himself into work after just a few words, and he couldn’t help but smile.

He sat closer to Tao Mu and said, “If you want to convince those brands, then do you have to find a chance to visit their headquarters? Since it’s for our website, I’ll go with you. I happen to know the shareholders of some of these brands, maybe I can help out.”

Tao Mu nodded casually and recorded this in his itinerary. In his original thinking, there was no need to go to such efforts. He just needed to communicate with the person in charge of these brands in China. But Li Xiaoheng’s idea was not bad. To solve the problem from the source, maybe the price could even be discussed——although the price of luxury brands was basically unified globally. But there would definitely be more discounts negotiated with the headquarters than with the branch. At that time, the profit margin of the website would be greater. When hosting activities, it could also be larger.

Li Xiaoheng saw through Tao Mu’s little calculations at a glance and couldn’t help twitching the corners of his mouth upwards. However, in his heart, the amount of profit margins that could be negotiated came second, and the most important thing for him was the negotiation schedule, which required him and Tao Mu to act together.

Thinking about it in another perspective, it was basically a globetrotting trip for just the two of them.

It felt pretty good. He was really looking forward to it.

However, no matter what Li Xiaoheng was expecting in his heart. The days had to go by gradually and one at a time. What Tao Mu had to do now was to play the role of Su Dingbang seriously.

During this period, news came from Jinxi that the Boss Huang had done a lot of other illegal things besides opening the black coal kiln without licenses. For example, when the illegal operation of the black coal kiln caused the miner to be injured, not paying the employees’ insurance, not being responsible for the medical expenses of the injured employees, and also injuring the family members of the employees who went to the coal kiln to ask for justice, etc…..

Relevant departments that received the report took it very seriously. An investigation team was immediately established to investigate the black coal kiln. Boss Huang, who originally stayed in H Town and wanted to invest in a different crew and sleep with some female stars on the side, immediately panicked when he heard the news. He had no choice but to hurry back to Jinxi.

However, it was only after Boss Huang returned to Jinxi that he realized that it was the eldest son of the Li family in the capital who reported him. And the one who helped to submit various materials and was in charge of the follow-up process was the Boss Wang who had warned him.

Now, Boss Huang finally knew that he had kicked the iron plate. But he still didn’t understand how he had provoked the Li family? Of course he had heard of the reputation of the Li family and the Fengxing Group in the capital. If he had met such a person, he would definitely rush to ingratiate himself to him. How could he take the initiative to anger him instead? Everyone was thousands of miles apart and never knew each other, and it was not like the eldest son of the Li family suddenly developed a momentary sense of justice and reported him, right?

In the end, after some inquiries, Boss Huang finally knew the relationship between the eldest son of the Li family and Tao Mu, as well as the investment of the eldest son of the Li family in the production of “The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood”——

F**k, didn’t they say that the investor Tao Mu had brought in was just a little shrimp with no background? For just a mere five million yuan, he even ignored the New Year’s holiday and personally flew to H Town to visit the set. How the hell did he know that the eldest son of the Li family was so idle? If he knew earlier then even if he borrowed the courage, he still wouldn’t dare to slap a tiger’s butt!

But it was too late to say anything. At the beginning, Boss Huang relied on his own money and power, and he acted arrogantly and did all kinds of evil. Those who were oppressed by him dare not speak out. But now the relevant departments have received reports and started to investigate the bad guys, and the state now supported the victims. Naturally, these ordinary people would spill everything they knew of their grievances when the investigation team came to investigate. Due to the influence of Boss Huang, some people did not dare to say more, so they hesitantly took the investigation team to the home of the injured employee and let the victim himself speak to them in person…..

Until the day that Boss Huang stumbled into prison, he never dreamed that he would be thrown in for this reason. He didn’t regret the things he had done that hurt the world, violated the law, and violated morality. Instead, he was annoyed that he shouldn’t have offended Tao Mu and the eldest son of the Li family so casually. Even when he was interviewed by the media, he still complained that Tao Mu’s methods were ruthless. He also said that his son and daughter were only in elementary school and junior high school, and they were very pitiful without a father.

Later, a reporter relayed the coal boss’s remarks to Tao Mu. Tao Mu didn’t even bother to evaluate this kind of brain circuit. If it was said that pitiful people sell their miserable stories to make everyone sympathize, then when the bad people sell their miserable stories it would only just make people feel happy and applaud. Tao Mu was not the type to sympathize with others casually. What was more, he didn’t feel that Boss Huang’s actions were worthy of sympathy.

On the contrary, after learning of Boss Huang’s charges, Tao Mu also asked Lawyer Zhou to go to Jinxi, and in the name of Song Huai Foundation, he donated 100,000 yuan to the injured miner who was injured in the mine but did not receive timely treatment. Although for families who have lost their breadwinners, the 100,000 yuan was just a drop in the bucket. But Tao Mu would rather spend his sympathy on these innocent and affected ordinary people than sympathize with a rotten person with blood on his hands.

Although he didn’t comment a word, Tao Mu’s attitude still made a lot of media and melon-eaters talk enthusiastically about it.

But these were all afterwords.

On the second day of discussing new cooperation projects with Li Xiaoheng, the very busy CEO Li flew directly to the US by plane. In terms of action execution, Li Xiaoheng, who was able to create Xiaoheng Capital in his freshman year of college, was definitely no worse than Tao Mu. Since the two decided to start an online shopping platform, apart from the process that Tao Mu must participate in, the rest of the matter must be resolved by Li Xiaoheng within the deadline. There would definitely not be any delays.

This was also an important reason why Tao Mu was sure that he could throw a good project at Li Xiaoheng, and Li Xiaoheng would devote his full attention to his work and would never have time to chase after him.

So Li Xiaoheng flew to the US this time because he wanted to negotiate the acquisition of a certain payment tool——thanks to this economic crisis caused by the subprime mortgage crisis in the US and gradually spreading to the world. All walks of life have been affected by this financial tsunami. Even those world-renowned manufacturers were struggling to survive, let alone some other industries that were heavily dependent on economic conditions. This also brought a lot of convenience to Li Xiaoheng’s acquisition plans.

Directly acquiring a payment tool with mature technology, and then adding various functions on top of it. It was indeed easier than developing the technology yourself from scratch. Li Xiaoheng’s method was especially good at this. By the way, the employees of the investment department who stayed at the headquarters in the US were also asked to focus on other projects worthy of investment and acquisition. Only then did he return to China with a payment tool named “Easy Pay” and a large number of technicians.

At that time, Tao Mu was still in H Town for filming. However, the internet had exploded.

February 14, 2009, the first month of the lunar calendar had not yet passed. Thanks to the concerted efforts of everyone, the highly anticipated registered users of FlyNews.com finally exceeded 100 million.

Immediately, netizens posted screenshots on their FlyNews page, and drummed their bowl with chopsticks as they waited for Tao Mu to dance in women’s clothes. A group of netizens who worked hard to eat melons and watch the fun have commented and forwarded them below. In just one hour, this FlyNews had more than one million comments and hundreds of thousands of retweets, and instantly topped the FlyNews hot search list.

The technical department that had been monitoring FlyNews.com also noticed this comment, and helped to highlight it in hot red and push it up to the top. Meng Qi, who was still in charge of FlyMews Entertainment in Beijing, found that the phone in the office instantly began to ring constantly, all to urge Tao Mu to fulfill his promise.

Meng Qi also joined in the fun, calling Tao Mu’s phone directly. Tao Mu was filming at that time, and Gou Rixin took the call. Hearing this news, Big Dog was also happy, and smiled honestly: “Mr. Meng, don’t worry. I’ll tell him when Tao Mu is free. I’ll definitely have him film the video of him dancing in women’s clothes as soon as possible.”

After a pause, Gou Rixin asked with evil intentions, “Do you want to come and see the dance in person?”
