I'm not illiterate

Chapter 52 Geniuses and Idiots

Xu Mu lay on the bed in the hotel, watching various comments on Weibo.

I couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

Things in this world really go hand in hand.

Because of the sacrifice of the illiterate trio, Xu Mu gained considerable popularity, and even the number of fans skyrocketed, but at the same time, fan infighting also appeared.

"Take your time." Xu Mu quit Weibo and opened WeChat again.

A message was sent in the group of the Four Heavenly Kings: "Is there any new progress?"

After all, these guys helped him by taking their lives unintentionally.

Less than 2 minutes after the news was sent, Chen Yaoxing made a video call to Xu Mu.

The phone was connected, and in the video, Tao Yiran and Chen Yaoxing's two heads were squeezed into one shot.

It seems that these two are together.

"Mu Mu, I read the news on the Internet, are you acting crazy?" Tao Yiran asked this first as soon as the call was connected.

Xu Mu smiled and said, "Play a small supporting role."

Chen Yaoxing: "I saw the lineup on the Internet, there are quite a few old actors."

Although the popularity of "You Are Crazy" hasn't completely risen due to the problem of publicity and distribution channels, people who follow Xu Mu still know about it.

Tao Yiran: "It's a pity that the accounts of my brothers have all been confiscated, otherwise I will promote it to you."

Xu Muxin said, don't bother, otherwise you will quit the entertainment industry.

Xu Mu changed the subject: "Don't talk about me, how are you?"

Tao Yiran chuckled: "What else can I do? I'm dead!"

Chen Yaoxing added from the side: "Yesterday Zheng Sumei came to make a big fuss, and a few high-level officials came behind. Now we are waiting for the boss to return from the northwest, and there may be a lawsuit at that time."

"The company will definitely put some conditions, but it should be affordable."

Tao Yiran chuckled: "Soldiers come to block the water and cover them with earth."

"By the way, Mu Mu, I found out about a website two days ago called Sile.com, and that fool is Sile.com..."

He was probably still thinking about the favor they gave to the Fool.

But before he finished speaking, there was a burst of phone ringing over the video.

"My mother's phone." Tao Yiran glanced at the phone, and then disappeared into the camera.

Soon, Xu Mu heard Tao Yiran pick up the phone and call his mother, and then a few fast and vague words came from the phone: "Idiot line... idiot boy..."

Tao Yiran is from Guangdong Province, and Xu Mu can understand some Cantonese when we stayed together in the past few years.

But Xu Mu didn't quite understand Tao Yiran's mother's voice that came over the phone just now.

But no matter how you listen to it, it is a curse.

Chen Yaoxing hastily picked up the phone, and said in a low voice, "Let's not talk for now, the old Tao's family called and scolded me."

"go quickly."

Then both sides hung up the phone.

Xu Mu sighed.

Sometimes, even for parents and relatives, joy and sorrow may not be connected.

In the eyes of others, the choice of Tao Yiran and Chen Yaoxing may really be an idiot.

Let go of a few million a year and pursue freedom?
About half an hour later, Tao Yiran sent a message: "You can do your own work, we will let you know when there is a result."

Xu Mu replied a few words, then fell asleep.

The next day, that is, August 8, Xu Mu stayed on the crew of "You Are Crazy" for another day.

There is no role for him today, so he is completely watching and studying.

At the same time, I made a record in my heart.

For example, before filming, Feng Quanyou would use walking and strolling to clear his mind, and let himself enter the role from the body posture by the way.

On the other hand, Liu Wangzhu would talk to himself before filming, constantly modifying his lines, so that he could quickly enter the role.

Until the evening of this day, the crew finally finished the project completely.

Xu Mu happened to have a meal with him.

Tomorrow he will completely end the affairs here.

It took less than three days to prepare for a week, but Xu Mu thought it was worth it.

Because there are not many people, the food is relatively light, but several old actors like to drink.

By the time the dinner was over in the evening, the faces of several people were all drunk.

After coming out of the restaurant, the cold wind blew, and several people shivered.

"Xiao Xu, go back and prepare for the film exam. Our movie will be released in about a week." Chen Yutang patted Xu Mu's shoulder and smiled.

"Xiao Xu, come here." At this moment, Liu Wangzhu greeted Xu Mu, and at the same time he walked to the side of the hotel entrance.

"Teacher Liu." Xu Mu followed.

"Leave tomorrow?" Liu Wangzhu asked.

After Xu Mu finished filming that scene yesterday, Old Liu was very close to him.

Lao Liu is such a good teacher, unexpectedly he met an obedient one, he taught him on the first day, and he learned it the next day.

Can Lao Liu be unhappy?

So in the past two days, he always wanted to "point out" Xu Mu again, to show his superior demeanor.

It's a pity that I didn't wait for the opportunity.

Now that everyone is about to part, Lao Liu finally thought of a very compelling operation.

He took out a book from the bag behind him and handed it to Xu Mu: "Xiao Xu, I'm giving you this book as a thought and as a warning."

Xu Mu took the book and looked at the title: "Genius Turns Left, Crazy Turns Right".

Liu Wangzhu coughed: "It's still the same thing, you can't get too deep into the drama, sometimes there is only a thin line between a genius and a lunatic."

"It is a genius to be able to enter the role to the greatest extent while grasping the self, and a madman to lose himself completely."

Then he patted the book: "How is it? We also discuss neuropathy and normal people in this play, so this book should be suitable for the occasion."

That expression, as if to say again, praise me quickly.

Xu Mu's face was shocked: "Mr. Liu, I really benefited a lot this time. I don't even know how to thank you for the deep meaning of this book you gave me."

Liu Wangzhu patted Xu Mu on the shoulder: "Just hurry up and pass the shadow test."

Xu Mu: "..."

After everyone exchanged a few more words of greeting and bid farewell to the seniors, Xu Mu and Xie Chen returned to their residences.

"It's finally over." Xie Chen breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I'm always worried that you will show your timidity in front of the old actors."

Xu Mu said with a smile: "This trip has gained a lot."

"Okay, let's go back and rest, I'm going to meet a friend." A stone fell from Xie Chen's heart, and he was busy socializing.

He was already well connected.

After returning to his room, Xu Mu looked at his phone for a while and found that the time was only after nine o'clock.

"Let's read a book."

He took out the book that Liu Wangzhu gave him today.

"Genius to the Left, Crazy to the Right".

There is a book with a similar title on Earth, called "Genius is on the Left, Crazy is on the Right". Xu Mu has heard of it, but I heard that the book is very controversial.

Then I didn't watch it.

The book that Liu Wangzhu sent this time is just for entertainment.

Opening the book, Xu Mu read on.

This book demonstrates the relationship between genius and madman from various angles.

For example, from a psychological point of view, this book points out that geniuses and lunatics have something in common called "cognitive disinhibition".

When the human brain recognizes external things, it needs to consume energy, and the brain has a self-protection mechanism, so ordinary people only receive part of the information and consume relatively little energy.

But some lunatics and geniuses have lifted this restriction. When they see things, they will receive a lot of information, and their brains will also have a greater load.

In other words, the brains of geniuses and lunatics are bombarded with a lot of information every day, but lunatics have no way to control this information, while geniuses can.

Another example is from a secular point of view, many thinkers and inventors who are too far ahead of the times will be considered lunatics by their contemporaries, while those who are only half a step ahead are geniuses...

This kind of reading hardly improved Xu Mu's acting skills, but it did increase his thinking ability.

The difference between a genius and a lunatic lies in whether it is controllable and whether it is in line with the current situation.

Slowly, Xu Mu finished reading the book.

And just when he finished reading this book, a voice in his head actually sounded: "Congratulations to the host for finishing reading "Genius to the Left, Madman to the Right"."

"Reward: Work Blind Box*1."

"Eh?" Xu Mu regained his energy all of a sudden.

"Open."

Following his order, a voice in his mind sounded: "Congratulations to the host for obtaining the work "Idiot Dream of Genius"."

ps: Chapter 2 will be after 11 o'clock.
