China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Chapter 272 The novel under his name breaks the 2 million mark, the showdown is over!

April 4, night, Ziyu Villa.

Li Mu, Liu Yifei and others sat on the sofa and watched the anti-Japanese war drama "The Sky of History" starring Zhang Fengyi, Li Xuejian, Yin Tao and others. This drama has been on the air for more than ten years. Occasionally, Li Mu will still watch two episodes. He likes this drama very much, especially the eternal stele played by He Wei, which is so vivid that it makes people itch.

"Yin Tao's acting is pretty good, and the company will invite her to act in a play sometime." Li Mu said casually.

"The acting is really good." Liu Yifei raised his head and looked at Li Mu, "And when he smiles, there will be two iconic dimples on his cheeks, which are very beautiful and recognizable."

Li Mu smiled and said: "If you want to say that the two dimples are second in terms of recognition, look at her lips."

"Her lips seem to be broken, are you angry?"

"No, it's actually a mole, but because of its special location, it's often misunderstood as a broken lip."

"You look really carefully."

"That's right, the director is good at watching..." Turning his head, he saw Liu Yifei looking at him with two big eyes, so he lowered his head and kissed the lower left side of her neck lightly, and then continued, "But the lucky mole on your neck is the best looking."

"Really? But someone told me it should be ordered off."

"Don't listen to their nonsense!"

The two chatted while continuing to watch the TV series, and before they knew it, they talked about Zeng Zhi's [-]th birthday, which can be regarded as an important event in the entertainment industry recently.

Zeng Zhifu's birthday is April 4th. TVB held the "Aspirational Party" for him at the exhibition on April 14th. There were 4 seats for the banquet. The congratulatory stars included a large number of big names from both sides of the Taiwan Strait. It is said that there were as many as 10 people, such as Andy Lau, Zhao Benshan, Cheng Long, Yang Shoucheng, Zhou Jielun, Hu Jun, etc., and it took two full hours just to walk the red carpet.

While chatting, Li Mu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I don't remember any masterpieces of his, how could he have such a big name?"

Liu Yifei said: "He has a high status in Xiangjiang's entertainment industry, I heard he has quite a background."

Li Mu: "It's quite a face to celebrate your birthday like this."

Liu Yifei hugged Li Mu's arm tightly, and said, "When you reach your [-]th birthday, the cards will definitely be bigger than him."

Li Mu continued to sigh: "Waiting for my 30th birthday? That's too long, and it will be more than [-] years. How long will it take?"

Liu Yifei raised his head and smiled and said, "Then you can't celebrate your [-]th birthday like Su Qier in the Xingye movie, can you?"

Li Mu was silent for a moment, and said: "Who said that if you want to have a banquet with a cardboard, you have to hold a birthday banquet? Can't you hold a wedding banquet? You don't have to wait until you are 60 years old to hold a wedding banquet."

Liu Yifei's arm holding Li Mu visibly moved, she was silent for a while, and then asked again: "You want to hold a wedding banquet? With whom?"

"Of course we have to hold a wedding banquet. We do it once in a lifetime. It can't be considered as a family sitting at the same table. I, Li Mu, am also a face-saving person." Li Mu tapped her forehead with his hand, and then continued, "How dare you ask who is hosting the wedding banquet? Who are you talking about? You shouldn't ask this question, and I will punish you tonight."

"Then how do you want to punish?"

"Of course it's a severe punishment!"

In fact, Li Mu deliberately brought up the topic of marriage tonight. Li Mu knew that she wanted to settle the matter early. Now Li Mu had a complete plan to get married after filming "Let's Get Married".

As time entered April, Huashang's two new plays - "The Fault in Our Stars" and "Send You A Little Red Flower" have also entered a period of intensive publicity.Li Mu and Liu Yifei are the male and female protagonists of "Send You A Little Red Flower", so this time they participated in many variety shows and interview programs to promote the movie, including a program hosted by the well-known host surnamed Cao on Dragon TV.

However, during the recording of the program, Li Mu unexpectedly laughed several times in a row. Cao Kefan was good at controlling the field, and he could catch every time Li Mu laughed.

After recording the show and returning to Ziyu Mountain Villa, Liu Yifei finally couldn't bear it anymore, she insisted that Li Mu tell her what happened today so it was so funny.

"This is an interesting story, are you sure you really want to hear it?" Li Mu asked.

"Smell?" Liu Yifei took a bottle of mineral water and sat down on the sofa.

Li Mu: "The main reason is that when I saw Host Cao's face, I couldn't help but think of Xiaopang's classic strategy of killing three sages, and then I couldn't help laughing."

Liu Yifei handed the mineral water to Li Mu, and Li Mu unscrewed it and handed it back to her. Liu Yifei took a sip, and then stared at Li Mu with her big watery eyes, obviously her curiosity had been aroused.

Li Mu said with a smile: "In August last year, host Cao hosted a variety show called "Top Chef". There was a contestant Xiaopang. He was humiliated by the three hosts in the previous session and hurt his self-esteem, so Xiaopang decided to take revenge..."

After a brief introduction of the previous situation, the main point came. When it was the turn of the last dish to turn the large intestine, Xiao Pang deliberately did not clean up the feces in the large intestine. In the end, he simply poured the excrement soup of the stewed large intestine directly on the plate to prepare the large intestine.

When the host commented on the Jiuzhuan large intestine of the last chef, he also criticized him for treating the large intestine too cleanly, which made the large intestine lose its original flavor, and when it was Xiaopang's turn...

"I did remove most of the fishy smell of the intestines, but I kept some of them. I think I kept a part of the taste of the intestines, so I knew you were eating large intestines."

Cao Kefan also asked: "Did you keep it on purpose?"

Fatty: "I left part of it during the cleaning process."

"Was it intentional or was it careless?"

"It was on purpose!"

Well, knowing that there is feces in the nine-turn large intestine, why don't the host taste it?According to the rules of the program, if you don't taste it, you can't eliminate Xiaopang, but if you taste it, there is shit in it!
Li Mu: "In my opinion, this is a wonderful conspiracy. You can't eat it or not, but Cao Kefan is a professional host. He gently cut off a small piece of the intestine's skin, and then ate it with an expression like eating shit. I think it's according to his thinking. Since there is shit in the intestines, it's okay if I only eat a small piece of skin? But he didn't expect that Xiaopang finally gave this Jiuzhuan large intestine a feces soup to collect the juice. Guess what? Cao host vomited!"

Suddenly, Liu Yifei felt that the water in his mouth tasted bad, so he lowered his head and spit the water into the trash can.

"Has Teacher Li Zongsheng also eaten?" Liu Yifei couldn't help asking again.

Li Mu: "Of course, how could it be called a plan to kill the three sages? It means that the three judges and teachers have eaten."

Liu Yifei was dumbfounded, and then she thought of the appearance of Cao Kefan and Li Zongsheng, and imagined the scene Li Mu just described in her mind, and then she couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Li Mu patted his stomach and said, "Stop talking, I'm hungry, why don't we order a takeaway!"

"Okay, what to eat?" In fact, Liu Yifei has no appetite at all, but since Li Mu is hungry, she can't tell Li Mu not to eat either.

Li Mu rubbed his chin and thought for a while: "Why don't we eat Jiuzhuan large intestine!"

"Ouch..." Liu Yifei suddenly retched when he heard the words.

Li Mu hurriedly patted her on the back, it was just a joke, he didn't expect Liu Yifei's reaction to be so big.

Coincidentally, at this time Liu Yifei's mother Liu Xiaoli's phone call came suddenly, because Liu Yifei was retching, so Li Mu connected her for her.

"Aunt Liu."

"Li Mu—what's wrong with this? Are you uncomfortable?"

She should have heard Liu Yifei retching on the other end of the phone.

"It's okay, I just mentioned a dish, and she reacted after hearing it."

……

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaoli suddenly thought of a possibility.

The next morning, Li Mu went to the company to deal with some matters, and Liu Yifei stayed at home alone to read a book, and then Liu Xiaoli accompanied her daughter with a happy face, and looked at her belly from time to time.

"No, how do you feel?"

"Very good."

"How long has it been since you found out?"

Liu Yifei was confused by her mother's question: "How long has it been since you found out?"

"Look, you are still hiding it from your mother. Mom is asking how long you have been pregnant since you found out."

Liu Yifei: "Pregnant? Mom, who did you listen to?"

"Who do you need to listen to? Mom called you last night, didn't you vomit then? Li Mu also said that he mentioned a dish, but after you heard it...is this not pregnancy?"

Liu Yifei smiled: "Mom, I'm not pregnant, he really mentioned a special dish last night, that's why I..."

However, Liu Xiaoli seemed to have identified it, and said: "You are young and inexperienced, and you think it is normal to vomit when he mentions a dish, but it is not normal at all. It seems that you don't know it yet. So, Mom will buy some test paper first. If there are preliminary results, we will go to the hospital. You are so concerned now. If you are photographed by reporters and appear in the hospital, it will be a big disturbance."

Liu Yifei: "Mom, I really don't need it, I'm really not pregnant."

"No? Are you so sure? Mom asks you, do you two really take measures every time?" Before Liu Yifei could speak, Liu Xiaoli continued, "Besides, even if you two take measures every time, you can guarantee that those measures will never fail."

Mother Liu's words made Liu Yifei blush, and in the end she had no choice but to tell her mother the story of Jiuzhuan Dachang and Xiaopang's plot to kill the three sages. As a result, Liu Xiaoli was inexplicably disappointed after hearing it.

……

In April, before the official global release of "The Fault in Our Stars", another piece of news about Li Mu hit the Huaxia Internet. This news was about Li Mu's achievements in the publishing industry.

As of April [-]th, the total global sales of all novels under Li Mu's name have officially exceeded the [-] million mark.

70 million copies, a very scary number, although it can’t be compared with Mr. Jin Yong and JK Rowling for the time being, but these two are writers, and the deepest label on Li Mu is a director—a director who directed a movie with a total global box office of [-] billion US dollars, surpassing James Cameron and directly catching up with Spielberg. The second largest director in the world.

But now, it is such a big director who plays an important role in the world. The total sales volume of his novels has exceeded the [-] million mark. The novels sold by the director are the most popular.
According to the statistics of the publisher, at present, under the name of Li Mu, the "Hunger Games" series alone has sold more than 8000 million copies. In addition, "Divergent" has sold 4000 million copies, "Maze Runner" has sold 3200 million copies, "The Fault in Our Stars" has 1000 million copies, and "Gone Girl" has 1000 million copies. "Etc.

In short, it took Li Mu less than ten years to earn a global box office of 70 billion US dollars, and at the same time, he also sold 2 million novels.

Now the domestic Internet is going crazy.

"You may not believe me when I say it, but if I didn't suddenly see this hot search today, I would have almost forgotten that Li Mu is actually a writer."

"Writing is nothing more than a side job to Li Mu, and it's just that the side job has been achieved by him with an output value of billions of dollars."

"Speaking of which, Director Li's side job is not just a writer. You may have forgotten that in the past ten years, there have been only four works that topped both the box office and music charts. Two of them are Li Mu's works. His "Let It Go" for "Frozen" also won the Oscar for Best Original Song this year."

"I'm going to leave my words here today. Li Mu is either an alien or a time traveler. There won't be a third answer!"

"It should be an alien. "My Love from the Star" is actually Li Mu's autobiography."

Next, when Li Mu and Liu Yifei attended an event together to promote the film, they were asked this question by the host of Mango TV, He Jiong.

"Director Li, as far as I know, netizens are saying that you are either an alien or a time traveler. Do you have anything to say to netizens across the country?"

Li Mu picked up the microphone and explained solemnly: "First of all, I am definitely not an alien. Aliens should have strange shapes. How could they be as handsome as me?"

The audience laughed.

Then Li Mu continued: "Secondly, I am definitely not a time-traveler, because time-travel itself cannot be realized at all. Mr. Hawking held a very special dinner in 2009. Mr. Hawking did not inform anyone about this dinner, because the people he really wanted to invite were people from the future who could travel through time and space. In the end, no one attended the dinner, which means that 'future people' do not exist at all. Because Mr. Hawking announced the dinner the next day, so if there are future people, then they must know the existence of this dinner , but the reality is that no one from the future is present."

In the end, Li Mu declared solemnly: "So the rumor that I am a time traveler is self-defeating."

The audience continued to laugh, and many of them thought it was very interesting to hear that Hawking had hosted such a dinner for the first time.

Then Xie Na asked Li Mu: "However, I think Director Li's reasoning is not rigorous enough. Let's assume that Director Li is really a time traveler, and you also know that Mr. Hawking held this 'Future Man' dinner in 2009, but you can definitely not attend on purpose, right?"

After a moment of silence, Li Mu slowly picked up the microphone and said, "Okay, I originally wanted to get along with everyone as an ordinary person, but what I got in return was suspicion. Don't pretend, I am a time traveler and I will show my cards!"

The scene was stunned for a moment, and then a deafening burst of laughter broke out.

All in all, the effect of the show is excellent, and the atmosphere is full, but it seems that the whole variety show didn't mention the new movie "Send You A Little Red Flower" much!

After returning home, Li Mu said to Liu Yifei: "We seem to have strayed from the topic."

Liu Yifei: "Who made you addicted to pretending to be a time traveler?"

Li Mu laughed and thought: "Don't say it, I really had the idea of ​​going to a banquet alone in 2009 to scare Hawking, but in the end I just gave up based on the principle that my own mother can't say anything."

As for the public admission on "Happy Camp", it doesn't matter, who would believe it? !
