Chapter 60 He Mu's Style

  "Okay, let's look at the next one." As soon as He Mu finished speaking, the screen changed to a photo of him when he was four years old, followed by five years old, six years old... In every photo, little He Mu looked so adorable. From being a chubby kid at first, he gradually became a handsome young boy. However, when he turned thirteen, there was a rebound, and He Mu's figure started to become plump again, with his face becoming rounder. This series of photos stopped until he was sixteen years old. These were all provided by He Mu's mother. At that time, He Mu had already grown up, except for his chubby face and figure, which were not much different from now. From his sixteen-year-old photo, it could be seen that He Mu had a handsome foundation.

  To enhance persuasiveness, He Mu finally released the photos taken by Li Wen Hua, showing his changes every day during weight loss, and vividly told the legendary experience of losing 50 pounds in 60 days. However, he was secretly rejoicing in his heart, wondering if weight loss drugs would find him to be their spokesperson after this incident.

  Haha, you guys said there's a picture with the truth, now the picture is here, let's see what else you have to say.

  The following reporters really have nothing to say, sixty days minus fifty pounds, it's really a goddamn genius. It seems that the matter of plastic surgery can't be held onto anymore, so some reporters started to smear He Mu's moral character and brought up the fact that he got into fights in high school.

  He Mu smiled slightly: "Let me say my own point of view, I've always thought that fighting isn't a bad thing, it can also exercise the body, train reaction speed, and is more upright than quarreling or secretly writing hurtful words about others. As long as the purpose of the fight is just, the result doesn't lead to disability, and the fight stops at a certain point, then it's just a sport. I've been learning martial arts from my grandfather since childhood, although my skills are ordinary, but at least I have basic martial ethics, I absolutely won't do things like bullying the weak, you can ask my high school teacher if you don't believe me."

  Seeing several entertainment reporters with disbelieving expressions, He Mu thought: You don't ask, but there will definitely be people who will ask, just wait and see.

  "Does anyone else have any questions, I've clarified everything. Now it's your turn to take the stage." He Mu stood confidently with his hands behind his back, exuding an aura of calm authority.

  A small newspaper reporter stood up and asked: "I heard that your father, He Mu, is engaged in the meat products industry. Is this true?"

  "That's right, my father started a meat processing factory in our hometown." He Mian said.

  "There are reports that your father was actually a pig butcher, so is the meat processing plant you mentioned referring to a slaughterhouse?"

  "I found that many people are interested in my father and his career, so I specially made a video to help everyone understand him better." He Mu pointed to the screen, and the picture immediately switched to the video, which was what he had been working on at home for those few days.

  Entertainment industry insiders have always been reluctant to answer media questions about their families, regardless of whether they are good or bad. They generally refuse to answer such questions in order to protect their loved ones. Decent reporters will not pursue this topic further. However, because the occupation of butcher is too unusual and it seems that no one in the industry has ever been associated with this profession before, coupled with the fact that He Mu is just a newcomer who doesn't have much status in the entertainment circle, many reporters followed suit after Guo Siyuan and repeatedly mentioned He Mu's father's occupation with derogatory connotations.

  In order for his father to avoid being attacked by unscrupulous journalists, and in order for himself to be able to hold his head higher in this circle, He Mu must do something.

  Xiao Fang sent a film crew to him, letting him make a record of his father's factory, in order to dispel the rumors. Although they were both in the pork business, there was a big difference between butchers and factory owners. In order to avoid the media and colleagues attacking He Mian's profession and excluding him, Xiao Fang required that this place must be clearly explained.

  But He Mu boldly revealed at the beginning of the film that his father was indeed a pig butcher, and then relied on his own brain and hard work to develop a dilapidated meat processing plant into the current "Judi Meat Products Processing Factory".

  No script, no director, He Mu had to think for himself about how to shoot this short film. He had previously collaborated with famous directors Li Guoli and Kang Honglei, and also observed how they directed the play, but what inspired him the most was still Director Tao Qiuming.

  He Miao took the homework handed over by Xiao Fang and made it into a commercial for "Juding Meat Products", with himself as the spokesperson.

  In a three-minute video, the history and current development of "Judi Meat Products" are introduced. The video is smooth and compact, although it's a meat processing factory, it doesn't show any bloody or dirty scenes. He Mu focuses on showcasing the modernized side of the factory, with clean and tidy operating rooms and neat and efficient workers breaking people's old stereotypes.

  This was He Mu's first time directing a video, although he later looked at this ad and couldn't bear to look straight at it, but at that time he was indeed very satisfied, and this piece also shut up the mouths of the entertainment reporters present. What's even more unexpected is that after this short film was spread online, due to He Mu's star effect, it also set off a small fire, and He Dad's factory welcomed new development opportunities, absorbing shareholders and quickly becoming Jideng Meat Industry Co., Ltd.

  After the video finished playing, the reporters offstage were whispering to each other, seemingly discussing what to do next. At this time, He Mu cleared his throat and said: "Actually, I really want to know if my father was still a butcher who slaughtered pigs, how would all of you media friends plan to deal with me, this butcher's son who mixed into the entertainment circle? Would you chase after me every time I appear in public, asking for detailed steps on how to dissect dead pigs? Would you add the descriptive phrase 'Pork Prince' every time you mention the name 'He Mu'? If that's the case, then I'd say it really doesn't matter. I would just treat all of you as a group of immature, childish brats."

  And I, He Mu, am a grown man, a big boy, you can all shout in front of me "Pork Chop Prince", and I will crisply respond with "Big Brother is here!"

  After finishing speaking, He Mu threw the microphone behind him and walked away with big strides. More than half of the reporters below the stage were already petrified on the spot. This was still a star, after all! Did he not put these uncrowned kings in his eyes? This was too domineering! Tomorrow's news would be lively!

  Guo Siyuan thinks differently from others, and judging from today's performance, He Mu's style of doing things is completely unmatched among the younger generation in the entertainment industry. He is one-of-a-kind, with a distinct personality that stands out, and this kind of person often gains a large following of devoted fans and can better establish themselves in the industry. Just like Li Yuchun last year, her androgynous style was a rare type in the circle, so people remembered "Spring Brother".

  Is it really okay for He Muyi to throw wheat in front of reporters today? Will these reporters let him off easily? As the one who started this, Guo Siyuan is a bit worried about this new star in the entertainment industry who is of the same age as him.

  After He Mu returned to the backstage, media publicist Cao Qian walked up to the stage and began to wrap things up for him, also handing out red envelopes. Da Tang gave him a "five" (high-five), saying: "From now on, this will be your style - domineering yet fearless, say what you want to say, do what you want to do. I believe there will be many young people who will like you."

  He Mu curled up the corners of his mouth: "Like it or not, I don't care. Anyway, today was a great day, that's me, Old Tang thanks you for your strategy."

  "Better thank General Xiao instead, if it weren't for his connections at the News Agency, tomorrow you'll only be criticized even more severely and completely ruin your relationship with the media."

  At this time, Xiao Fang walked away, with the phone still ringing in her ear: "Thanks, sis, don't think like that, how can this be considered as you abusing your power for personal gain? At most, it's just me using your influence to intimidate and control the bad atmosphere in the news industry. He Mu is such a good kid, let them say whatever they want... Okay, okay, I'll take a look at Dad's later, hmm, bye."

  Xiao Fang hung up the phone, "Hey guys, want to grab a drink tonight?"

  He Mu raised both hands and accompanied him, Da Tang shook his head, although reluctantly also followed.

  ——————

  At the wine table, three people clinked glasses and drank fine wine, talking nonsense, and the most talked about was still in the script writing stage of "Stewardess".

  He Mu's first thought was not about the ownership of the female lead, but rather Liu Shishi. The two had previously worked together on "Co-habiting with a Flight Stewardess", playing Lu Fei and Ruan Jing respectively. Now that they were going to film the TV series version, he really hoped she could make an appearance in it. After all, after filming the trailer, she had also become a loyal reader of this book, so being able to play a role in it should be something she would hope for too.

  "Fang Ge, why don't we let Shi Shi play a role in the drama? We can't just sign her and not use her, right?" He Mu said.

  Da Tang explained: "Poetry has signed up for the new play 'The Legend of the Shooting Hero' by Tang Ren, playing the role of Mu Nianci, the second female lead. The play is quite heavy and will start filming next month. She'll probably join in August, which might conflict with 'Air Stewardess', so she can't take on a very important role either. Doesn't the male lead have a sister in this play? The role isn't too big but it's still eye-catching, let Poetry play that role." As Poetry's agent, Da Tang had already arranged everything for her.

  "Poetry is performed by Lu Xiaoxiao, then I am his brother, it's pretty good." He Mian finished a cup, at this time he began to recall every character in the book "Air Stewardess", Ruan Jing, Wang Lei, Lele, Wang Qian, Ruan Jing's uncle, these characters are about to move onto the screen, who should be chosen to portray them? Although it's not He Mian's business, he always has the right to imagine.

  Maybe it's because he was too excited today, or maybe it's because his wife had a task and no one was in charge, Xiao Huo pulled Da Tang He Mu to KTV after drinking. This made He Mu very embarrassed, he basically just listened, the microphone would never pass through his hands.

  It was unexpected that the elegant Tang would be like a revved engine, rocking out for an entire night, even Xiao Fang had to concede defeat, no wonder he used to be a professional in music.

  After leaving the KTV early, the three of them went their separate ways. Before filming "Flight Attendant", He Mu would be relatively free. As he passed by a newsstand, He Mu stopped in his tracks, "Boss, give me a few copies of the entertainment newspaper."
