Chapter 52: Genius and Idiot

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

I couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

Things in this world are really accompanied by yin and yang.

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, there was also a phenomenon of fan infighting.

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

posted a message in the group of the Four Heavenly Kings: "Is there any new progress?" ”

After all, these brothers inadvertently took their lives to help him.

Less than two 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 a shot.

It seems that these two are together.

"Wood, I read the news on the Internet, are you going to play a neuropath?" As soon as the phone was connected, Tao Yiran asked this first.

Xu Mu smiled: "Play a small supporting role." ”

Chen Yaoxing: "I saw the lineup on the Internet, many old actors. ”

Although the popularity of "You Are a Neurotic" has not yet completely risen due to the problem of publicity and distribution channels, those who pay attention to Xu Mu still know it.

Tao Yiran: "It's a pity that the accounts of my brothers have been collected, otherwise I will give you publicity." ”

Xu Muxin said don't toss, if you toss again, you will really launch the entertainment industry.

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

Tao Yiran smiled: "What else?" The fish is dead and the net is broken! ”

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

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

Tao Yiran smiled: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth." ”

"By the way, I knew about a website two days ago, called Selmer.com, and that fool is Selmer.com......"

He probably still thinks about the favor they gave to the fool.

But before he finished speaking, there was a ringing of the phone on the other side of the video.

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

Soon, Xu Mu heard Tao Yiran pick up the phone and call Mom, and then a few quick and vague words came from the phone: "Idiot...... Idiot Boy ......"

Tao Yiran is a native of Guangdong Province, and in the past few years, everyone has stayed together, and Xu Mu can also understand some Cantonese.

But Xu Mu didn't understand Tao Yiran's mother's voice on the phone just now.

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

Chen Yaoxing hurriedly picked up his mobile phone and said in a low voice: "Let's not talk about it yet, Lao Tao's family came to call and scold." ”

"Let's go."

Then both sides hung up the phone.

Xu Mu sighed.

Sometimes, even if it is a parent, the bitterness and happiness may not be the same.

In the eyes of others, Tao Yiran and Chen Yaoxing's choice may really be idiots.

Putting aside millions a year and pursuing freedom?

After about half an hour, Tao Yiran sent a message: "You are busy with yourself, we will tell you when there is a result." ”

Xu Mu replied a few words, and then fell asleep.

The next day, August 22, Xu Mu stayed in the crew of "You Are a Neurotic" for another day.

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

At the same time, I was making notes in my mind.

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

Liu Wangzhu, on the other hand, will talk to himself before filming, constantly revising his lines, so that he can quickly enter the role.

Until this evening, the crew was finally completed.

Xu Mu happened to follow with a meal.

Tomorrow he'll be done with this side of things.

I prepared for a week, but I actually worked for less than three days, but Xu Mu felt that it was worth it.

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

By the time the dinner was over, several people were drunk on their faces.

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

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

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

"Teacher Liu." Xu Mu followed.

"Leaving tomorrow?" Liu Wangzhu asked.

After Xu Mu filmed that scene yesterday, Lao Liu was quite intimate with him.

Lao Liu, a good teacher, didn't expect to really meet an obedient person, he taught on the first day, and others learned it the next day.

Can Lao Liu not be happy?

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

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

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

I saw him take out a book from the bag behind him and hand it to Xu Mu: "Xiao Xu, giving you this book is a thought and a warning." ”

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

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

"To be able to get into the role to the maximum extent while grasping oneself is a genius, and to lose oneself completely is a madman."

Then he patted the book: "How? Our play also discusses neuropathy and normal people, so this book should be appropriate. ”

That expression, like to say again, praise me.

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

Liu Wangzhu patted Xu Mu on the shoulder: "You just hurry up and pass the film exam." ”

Xu Mu: "......"

Everyone exchanged a few more words of greetings and bid farewell to a few seniors, and Xu Mu and Xie Chen returned to their residences.

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

"I'm always worried that you're showing your cowardice in front of the old actors."

Xu Mu smiled: "This trip is too rewarding. ”

"Okay, let's go back and rest, I'll go see a friend." A stone in Xie Chen's heart fell to the ground, and he began to be busy socializing.

He was already very well-connected.

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

"Let's read a book."

He took out the book Liu Wangzhu gave him today.

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

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

I didn't watch it after that.

This time, Liu Wangzhu sent this book, which should be a pastime.

Opening the book, Xu Mu read it.

This book argues for the relationship between geniuses and madmen from various angles.

For example, in psychology, the book points out that there is a common denominator between geniuses and madmen, called "cognitive disinhibition."

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

But some madmen and geniuses have lifted this restriction, and when they see things, they receive a lot of information, and at the same time, their brains will have a greater load.

That is to say, the brains of geniuses and madmen are bombarded with a flood of information every day, but madmen have no way to harness this information, while geniuses can.

For example, from a secular point of view, many thinkers and inventors who were too big ahead of their time would be considered mad by their contemporaries, and those who were only half a step ahead of them were geniuses......

This kind of reading has hardly improved Xu Mu's acting skills, but it has increased his critical thinking ability.

The difference between a genius and a madman is whether it is controllable or not, and whether it is in line with the current situation.

Slowly, Xu Mu finished reading the book.

And just as he finished reading the book, the voice in his head actually sounded: "Congratulations to the host for completing the reading of "Genius to the Left, Madman to the Right". ”

"Reward: Blind Box*1."

"Huh?" Xu Mu suddenly came to his senses.

"Open."

As he gave an order, the voice in his head sounded: "Congratulations to the host for obtaining the work "Genius Idiot Dream". ”

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