Chapter 1594 Li Mu's First Variety Show
Initially, according to Li Mu's request, even if Larry Page appeared in the final broadcast version of the show, he must not mention his actual identity, and just call him a foreign friend.
But that was before Li Mu was about to take the shares of Google, and the two sides were at a stage of tension. But now, Google has joined its own camp. In this case, there is no need to hide Larry Page's identity. deal with.
So, when a tired Larry Page was sitting under the tree on TV, a line of subtitles appeared on the screen: "This American friend is the founder & CEO of Google, Larry Page..."
Like Zhao Ziqiu, countless viewers were amazed when they saw this line of subtitles.
The first surprise is that Larry Page, a billion-dollar Silicon Valley tycoon, went to a certain mountain village in China to find Li Mu by himself with a backpack on his back. Not like a billionaire, but like a backpacker with hanging silk that is common in Western society.
The second surprise is that Larry Page was treated like this in the show group. To be precise, he was not treated at all, not even a horse, so he just sat under the tree and watched Li Mu fishing...
Zhao Ziqiu asked in surprise: "Why did Larry Page come all the way to the filming location to find you? You don't seem to like him very much."
Li Mu asked with a smile, "Have you seen all this?"
"Yeah..." Zhao Ziqiu pointed at Li Mu who was fishing on the screen, and said, "You didn't even look at him at all, and you've been fishing. Under normal circumstances, when friends come from so far away, they must be entertained first. Friends are right."
Li Mu laughed and said, "At that time he was not a friend with me, but an opponent, but now he is a friend."
Zhao Ziqiu stuck out his tongue: "Well, you are bad enough."
On TV, Larry Page looked dejected and looked really decadent.
Li Mu looked at it, and felt very interesting in his heart.
In his opinion, the pitiful Larry Page in front of the camera is completely self-inflicted, and he and the top management of Google are completely a group of patients with secondary diseases who are not determined enough.
At the beginning, I and Yan Yuese wanted to cooperate with them, but their enthusiasm came up, and they were reluctant to take out more than ten percent of the shares.
In the end, I simply registered a shell company,
Ask Baidu to sing a show and officially turn against them, Larry Page can only go so far to find abuse, and then obediently take out 30% of the shares to worship the dock. This is a typical ignorance.
I also hope that this scene of Larry Page can be spread overseas, so that overseas Internet elites can take a look at the appearance of Larry Page begging for abuse, so that they can learn from it.
In the content that followed, Li Mu's performance on the show was nothing like what a richest man should have.
In the previous life "Longing for Life", the boss who was worth hundreds of millions went to the countryside, and it was obvious from all aspects that he had a complete disdain for rural life, but Li Mu was completely different from him.
Although Li Mu did not grow up in the countryside, his grandparents were in the countryside, so he often lived in the countryside when he was a child. Because of this, he was able to quickly adapt to that kind of rural life when he was in the mushroom house, and he even had various life skills in the countryside at his fingertips. .
For example, the whole process of Li Mu making a fire was recorded by the camera.
In the past, including Peng Yuyan and other guests, they did not have the skills to make a fire for cooking in the countryside. The stove in the countryside was burned every day before cooking, and there was a great emphasis on how to burn it.
Li Mu's technique of helping Huang Lei to make a fire on TV is particularly skillful. He took newspapers, dried wheat straw and corn stalks, and then chopped firewood.
When making a fire, first put the wheat straw into the stove, then ignite it with newspaper and throw it in to ignite the wheat straw, then put in the corn straw, pull the bellows to make the fire burn, and then quickly put the hardest wood to burn. Throw it in, and when the wheat stalks are burned and the corn stalks are almost burned, the firewood has been ignited and burned more and more vigorously.
The series of procedures for Li Mu to start the fire is very clear, and the operation is also very organized, and he is not in a hurry at all. Later, the subtitles mark out the steps of his fire-making one by one, and add a paragraph of text: "The stove is on fire. Standard example."
In addition to making fires and using pressurized water wells, Li Mu also showed his experience in rural life.
There is a problem with the pressure well of the mushroom house. It cannot press water directly. It has to pour a part of the water to divert it, and then press it hard for a while before the water comes out. However, before this problem, many guests did not understand it clearly. When he found that there was no water, he gave up directly, and then went to the resident guest to report that there was a problem with the pressurized water well.
The audience also knows that the water pressure well must have water diversion to get water out, so they are used to seeing every guest who is helpless, and then ask the resident guest for help.
However, on the TV, after Li Mu pressed a few times and found that there was no water, he directly scooped a bowl of water from the bucket next to him, poured it into it and pressed it a few times, and the water gradually began to pour out.
These subtle details made the audience feel more intimacy with Li Mu, and also made Li Mu more grounded in front of the audience.
By the time Li Mu took them into the mountains to find the story of Zhi Gui, Li Mu couldn't see the slightest billionaire status on the screen, he was completely a young man from the countryside.
When the audience watched Li Mu lead these guests into the woods with ease, and then very skillfully grabbed the monkeys who had just emerged from the ground one by one, they even thought that Li Mu was so experienced that he should be a resident guest. .
However, most viewers are more concerned about how this thing should be eaten.
China has a vast land and abundant resources, and the living habits of people in different places are also different. Knowing that things like monkeys are found all over the country, but not many people eat them.
There are audiences who are accustomed to eating monkeys and feel more cordial when they see it, but audiences who are not so used to it are also full of shock and curiosity.
Seeing the back, Li Mu took a lot of chi monkeys back to wash, clean, and then put them in a frying pan and fry them until golden. Many viewers were fascinated by the sight, and they were also looking forward to these guests eating Chi monkeys later. performance at the time,
The classic plot of this kind of bridge is that a certain person or some people do not eat it at first, and finally bite their teeth and try it, and it turns out that it is delicious, so they keep eating.
With such a plot, it can basically support an episode of a variety show. If there are several, then this episode can be said to be very good for the audience.
Just like Wang Jingze in "The Metamorphosis", when the audience sees this kind of character, what they look forward to is the moment when he becomes soft. As long as he becomes soft, everyone will be happy.
Huang Lei didn't have much difficulty in accepting the monkey. He just picked up the chopsticks and ate it. He Yu hesitated a little, but after a few seconds of hesitation, he also picked up the chopsticks, picked one up and put it in his mouth. Rise.
After the two of them ate it, the evaluation of the monkey was very high, but it had no positive impact on Peng Yuyan beside him. He looked at the monkey with fear still in his eyes.
A young man like Peng Yuyan who dared not try, only after Li Mu's repeated encouragement did he pluck up the courage to try to eat one. Originally, his expression was still extremely painful and fearful until he put the monkey in his mouth. But when he chewed in his mouth, all his fears and worries disappeared in an instant.
When he smiled and praised with surprise that the monkey tasted great, all the audience felt the long-awaited refreshment at this moment, which is the charm of variety shows.
Immediately after, Larry Page from the United States was also put on the shelves by Li Mu. The audience was subconsciously full of the same expectations for such a foreigner who came from the other side of the ocean.
I dare not say that this kind of mentality is common in the world, at least in the entire East Asian nation. Whether it is Chinese, or Japan and South Korea, they all pay great attention to the evaluation of Westerners on their own affairs. If Westerners like to eat Chinese food, the Chinese people They will feel very happy. If Westerners like to eat sushi, Japanese will also feel very happy. It is because of this psychology that the audience is full of expectations for Larry Page's next performance, expecting him to like it. Chinese local cuisine.
Larry Page did not disappoint the audience. He was a little more afraid than Peng Yuyan at first. When he was forced to bite the bullet and try, his face seemed to be dying.
But when Larry Page really got a taste of the cheetah, his performance was completely different.
Then the style of painting on the TV screen suddenly changed, and Peng Yuyan and Larry Page actually started to take the initiative to grab food.
When a foreigner like Larry Page also completed the transformation from fear, to acceptance, and then to grabbing food, the cool point of this episode has exceeded the audience's expectations.
Zhao Ziqiufu watched it with relish in Li Mu's arms, and he was still not satisfied until the end. He couldn't help sighing: "I never thought before that a variety show that experiences life in the countryside can be so good-looking. This show is from me. After watching the first issue, I haven't missed a single issue, it's just too interesting."
As she spoke, she asked Li Mu, "How did you come up with such a program format?"
Li Mu said with a smile: "The audience has watched a lot of variety shows filmed in the studio, so now as long as the variety shows are moved out of the room, basically half the success, the rest is to find a good entry point, this entry point. The point is: what are the host and guests going to do after they move out of the studio? They can come to the countryside to experience life together, or they can play interesting games in every corner of the city together, or even a father with a child. It doesn't sound like a lot of fun to go to various places to experience life, but when someone puts a show like this in front of you, you realize it's unique."
