This year is in a hurry, it is to promote Shuimu movies, and it is to discuss the script adaptation plan with Li Pang and Xiaobei day and night, brainstorming makes them excited, so the time used to accompany the family is very lacking, which he feels quite sorry for the family, especially Zilin, who has a big belly, is now six months old, and the pregnant sister watches the prenatal education video at home every day and waits for the arrival of the baby, she did not complain that He Mu is busy with work, as long as she returns home at night, she can pamper her in bed and fall asleep.

But this can't satisfy her at all, and He Mu has to go to Hollywood to complete the rest of the fifth year after the fifth day of the new year.

After several turns, as soon as she arrived at the crew, Scarlett greeted her warmly and shouted in broken Chinese, "Master, Happy New Year!" Then translated into English, "What about a good gift?" It is rumored on the Internet that Scarlett worships He Mu as a teacher, He Mu did not admit or deny it positively, in fact, it is true, but it is not to learn Chinese kung fu, but to learn Chinese food.

When He Mu and Scarlett were filming rival scenes, she also wanted to use her little judo kung fu to give He Mu a little color see-see, but she lost very rhythmically, not a heavyweight opponent at all, there was no spark at all in the fight, He Mu took care of her is a girl, and only used one percent of her strength, so that Scarlett couldn't use any strength.

Marveling at He Mu's superb combat ability, Scarlett really wants to worship He Mu as a teacher to learn martial arts, He Mu practices Bajiquan, to the strong to the yang, girls are not suitable at all, or Wing Chun and the like are more suitable, but He Mu will not. After He Mu rejected Scarlett, in order to compensate for her misery during filming, she was not used to eating American food and improved Chinese food in Chinese restaurants. So she made a table of authentic Chinese food and invited her, but Scarlett immediately forgot about learning kung fu and pestered He Mu to learn Chinese food. Because it's so delicious. So He Mu became Scarlett's master, and taught her to use chopsticks for more than half a month.

Over there, Joseph also walked over slowly, "Embarrassed Cerf" was He Mu to Joseph. Gao took the Chinese nickname because his face was a bit like the word "囧", He Mu told Joseph. "囧" is one of the most popular characters in Chinese characters, so he happily accepted the title. Joseph didn't say anything, just put on a standard embarrassed face and looked at He Mu longingly. He was also asking for gifts.

He Mu took out the traditional gifts such as Chinese knots, Spring Festival couplets, and paper-cuts that he brought from China from his bag. Johnson also got an auspicious red envelope, and He Mu, who picked the door, wrapped a hundred dollars.

While they were playing with the gifts, He Mu told them about the traditional meaning of these things. He Mu is very happy that there are foreign celebrities who are interested in traditional Chinese culture. He was happy to see Chinese culture go out, and as he spoke, he talked about the meaning of "New Year" to Chinese and the origin of "New Year".

"'Nian' is a fierce beast in the legend, it has four horns, generally lives in the deep mountains and old forests, every year at the end of the Chinese New Year's Eve it will go down the mountain, steal and eat the people's livestock, sometimes hurt people, so every Chinese New Year's Eve when the villagers will move their families to avoid the evil beast. It's another Chinese New Year's Eve day, and the people have begun to flee to avoid the Nian Beast again......" He Mu tried his best to explain this story with a proper translation. The foreigners around him also listened very attentively, "...... In the end, with the help of the old man, the villagers successfully drove away Nian, and every Chinese New Year's Eve, the people who grasped the weakness of the Nian beast used firecrackers to scare it, and after hearing it, Nian would turn around and leave, and since then the villagers have lived a happy life, and we call this day with special significance 'New Year'. ”

After saying that, both Seph and Scarlett applauded enthusiastically, and said that they had heard an interesting story, and that the ancient and mysterious China was indeed very interesting. Just when He Mu was smug, the crew's photographer Andrew . Cook actually questioned He Mu's story.

"Mu, although the story you told is great, I think you should be wrong, the allusion of the year is not like this." This veteran photographer in his fifties actually spoke to He Mu in Chinese, and with a faint Sichuan accent.

"Andrew, you can actually speak Chinese?!" He Mu said in surprise.

Andrew shrugged, "My wife is Chinese, I learned Chinese from her, and she also told me the story of the New Year, you can't fool me." ”

He Mu told everyone about their conversation, and then smiled, "Then let's listen to Andrew talk about his version, everyone applauds and welcomes!" He Mu listened to his family's stories about the New Year since he was a child, he didn't think he was wrong, this old man shouldn't let his wife cheat.

Andrew glanced at Wen Ziren, he was asking him for instructions, after all, it was working time, Wen Ziren nodded quickly, "Old man, talk about it, I'm also curious about the difference between your version and Wood's." ”

"In fact, the legend goes like this, in the Chinese tradition, the day before the New Year is called 'Chinese New Year's Eve', which means to get rid of the eve,' Xi 'is the monster that destroys everywhere, Wood just said that all the sins committed by Xi were done by Xi , and Nian is actually a kind and brave young man, and he found Xi afraid of the sound of firecrackers, his village was ravaged by Xi Xi, in order to protect the people, he used his wisdom and bravery to fight with Xi , the most Lu drove Xi away, and gave the tribe a way to resist Xi , but he himself was penetrated by Xi Yu's horns, and soon died, the villagers named that day 'Nian' in honor of him, and every day will ' New Year's greetings' to thank him for his contributions to the people, and the day before is called 'Chinese New Year's Eve'. This is the version that Andrew heard from his four-year-old wife, which is completely different from the version He Mu heard since he was a child.

"This version of the story is so sad!" Scarlett sighed.

Sadph nodded, "I like the first story, Wood's narration is very graphic. ”

"No, I like the second one, it makes people cry when I hear it." Scarlett retorted.

Wen Ziren was confused, and he asked He Mu, "Why are you talking differently?" Don't lie to me, a Chinese who hasn't lived in China. ”

He Mu thought about it and came up with a reasonable explanation, "China is vast and rich, hundreds of miles of different customs and customs, I am a northerner, Andrew's wife is a southerner, and it is normal for our folk customs to be different from the legends that have been passed down, after all, our history is too long, maybe the initial statement is the same, but the word of mouth from generation to generation will change, and the changes are getting bigger and bigger, and the most important thing is that it has become two completely different stories now, and the story about the year in my head was told to me by my grandfather, I will tell this story to my children in the future, but thanks to Andrew, I let me hear another possibility, and I feel that as a Chinese, I need to strengthen my learning in this area. ”

He Mu did what he said, and after filming today, he has been checking the relevant legends about Xi and Nian on the Internet, and his and Andrew's statements are the two most mainstream theories, but in fact, they are far more than these two statements, they were busy all night, and after falling asleep, He Mu quickly fell asleep, and in the dream, two monsters ran around him, one of them was called "Xi", and the other was called "Nian...... (To be continued......)
