Chapter 598 Small talk
Teacher He’s shout finally awakened the men and women who were immersed in metaphysics!
"Ah?" Lin Bufan and Zifeng's sister raised their heads at the same time and noticed that everyone was looking at them.
Sister Zifeng's pretty face flushed red, and she hurriedly pulled her hand back, stammering, "Teacher He, don't talk nonsense! We, we are just reading palms!"
Lin Bufan actually wanted to blush, because he felt that this was the proper reaction of an innocent little boy, but his strength did not allow it. The most he could do was to act shy. He really couldn't blush!
In order to avoid being accused of imitating others, Lin Bufan stopped pretending to be shy and asked calmly, "Teacher He, how did you know I was going to make a new movie? I just decided to do it a few days ago!"
He was stunned when he heard this. Didn't Xiaofan Entertainment say during their communication that "Battle of the Forbidden City" was almost finished filming and needed to be promoted? How did this become a new movie? Was there a communication problem?
While Teacher He was exchanging glances with the production team, Lin Bufan had already started talking to himself: "Although I don't know how you knew this, Teacher He, it's not important. Now that it's mentioned, I'll just briefly explain it.
I think everyone knows that I have loved watching Hong Kong movies since I was a child, especially "Prison on Fire"..."
Everyone was furiously complaining in their hearts: No! We don’t know!
However, Lin Bufan was obviously unaware of this. He continued to talk to himself, "So I'm also planning to invest in a Prison on Fire movie!"
When Lin Bufan finished speaking, everyone exclaimed in unison: "Prison Storm?!"
Lin Bufan nodded to indicate that everyone had heard correctly: "That's right, we're setting up the crew and hiring actors now. When I get back, we can almost start filming!"
While Lin Bufan was speaking, Teacher He finally received feedback from the production team. After confirming that it was "Battle of the Forbidden City," Teacher He spoke again to bring the topic back: "Afan, are you filming a new movie so soon? How's your previous film "Battle of the Forbidden City" going? When are you going to see it with everyone? We're really looking forward to it!"
After being reminded by Teacher He again, Lin Bufan suddenly realized that when he decided to go on the show, he had told Qu Yaoguai that he wanted to promote "Battle of the Forbidden City".
"Teacher He, that's what you're talking about. Why don't you explain it clearly?"
Teacher He was so angry that he wanted to strangle Lin Bufan to death: Didn’t you read the script before coming here?
Seeing that Teacher He was choking, Teacher Huang couldn't help but make a joke: "Afan, even though our show doesn't have a script, you can't forget the purpose of being on the show, right? Fortunately, you are your own boss, otherwise you would be banned by the company, right?"
Lin Bufan waved his hand nonchalantly: "Teacher Huang, in life, being free and easy is the most important thing. Besides, I'm such an outstanding talent, which company would be willing to keep me on ice?"
"Then tell me about your movie "Battle of the Forbidden City"! Can you let me complete my KPI first?" Teacher He finally caught his breath and said with his hand on his forehead pretending to be helpless!
Everyone burst into laughter at Teacher He's words. Peng Peng was the first to jump out and agree: "Master, please tell me quickly, otherwise Teacher He's salary for this month will be deducted!"
Yang Mi also laughed and joked, "That's right, Junior Lin, Teacher He is so concerned, you can't let Teacher He work in vain, right?"
Lin Bufan shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Well, there's nothing much to say. It's just a mediocre time-travel, power struggle, science fiction, and martial arts drama with a billion-dollar budget!"
Ordinary? !
Only a billion?!
There has to be a limit to your Versailles behavior, right? Otherwise, sooner or later, you'll get beaten to death when you go out!
Teacher Huang, who hated others showing off in front of him, quickly changed the subject, not giving Lin Bufan the chance to continue showing off: "Afan, what did you say just now about filming 'Prison on Fire'? I'm quite interested in it!"
"Of course, we made 'Prison on Fire' to serve as a warning!" Lin Bufan said righteously, "Let the audience see the hardship of prison life, and have a deterrent effect on crime!"
Everyone: "..."
Prison on Fire?!
Warning?!
Have you ever seen "Prison on Fire"? It's about brotherhood and the joy of settling scores, right?
Although Yang Mi was also complaining in her heart, compared to the others, she had other thoughts: "Xiaodi Lin, how much are you planning to invest in this drama? It won't be several hundred million, right?"
How much to invest?
Yang Mi's question really stumped Lin Bufan for a moment. As for the money, it probably wouldn't cost much, and the bulk of it would probably just be the actors' pay!
However, although this drama does not cost money, it does cost a lot of manpower. If the labor cost is taken into consideration, the cost of this drama is probably unmatched by any other drama!
After some thought, Lin Bufan, who still didn't understand, could only say vaguely, "The initial investment is tentatively set at 500 million, but there will be additional investment later. As for how much, it's hard to say, but one thing is certain, it will only be more than 500 million, not less!"
Every person whose house collapses in the future will be an additional investment in the movie!
After listening to Lin Bufan's words, everyone took a deep breath!
Is the RMB depreciating so much now?
It's okay for you to spend money on a sci-fi movie, but why is it so expensive to make a prison movie? Are you laundering money?
The person who was most criticized was naturally Mr. Huang. "If I tell you not to put that cup in, then you put this cup in, right? Can't you just not put it in?"
How could Yang Mi be considered successful? Apart from anything else, just her ability to seize opportunities was unmatched by ordinary people!
While others were still wondering whether there was any truth in Lin Bufan's words, Yang Mi had already started to seize the opportunity!
"Junior Lin, I just heard you say you're still looking for an actor. Do you have a role in your play that's suitable for me? I can ask for a lower salary!"
Staring at Yang Mi's fox eyes, Lin Bufan fell into deep thought again.
Lin Bufan remembered that Yang Mi had not collapsed before he traveled through time!
But there are quite a few negative things about him, such as athlete's foot, and my husband's skin care is too normal, etc., etc.!
As for whether these things are true or false, that is a matter of opinion!
But in order to protect the reputation of "Prison on Fire", Lin Bufan felt that he still had to reject Yang Mi.
Regardless of whether Yang Mi collapses in the end, at least she won’t collapse in the short term, as this will greatly affect the speed at which the movie becomes a hit!
After making the decision, Lin Bufan no longer hesitated and immediately said, "Sorry, Sister Mi, the actors for this play have already been decided. Let's work together next time!"
Yang Mi didn't show any disappointment or dissatisfaction at Lin Bufan's rejection. Instead, she blinked her foxy eyes and joked with Lin Bufan: "Then let's make a deal. You must find me for your next film! Otherwise, I'll expose you online for bullying me!"
Lin Bufan was amused by Yang Mi's sudden "change" and said with a deliberately stern face, "Sister Mi, this is blatant slander! When did I ever bully you?"
Yang Mi snorted softly, counting on her fingers as she began to criticize him: "Who was it that just now by the fish pond that I was driving over the age limit? Who was it that told me to die playing games? And who is it that is now rejecting my participation in the new play?"
Teacher He, who was watching the fun from the sidelines, didn't mind the trouble and interrupted with a smile, "Afan, you've committed so many crimes! It seems like you'll have to find Mimi for your next role!"
Lin Bufan spread his hands helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll definitely ask Sister Mi to do the next drama, but let's make a deal first, if the drama fails, you'll take the blame."
Yang Mi waved her hand nonchalantly, "No problem! I'm the best at taking the blame for others. I guarantee I'll attract all the firepower. It's steady!"
Lin Bufan blinked, looking innocent: "Sister Mi, are you sure you're not taking the blame because of your poor acting skills?"
"Lin Bufan!" Yang Mi instantly exploded, reaching out to strangle Lin Bufan: "Try saying that again!"
Lin Bufan dodged while laughing: "Oh, Sister Mi, spare me! I was wrong, isn't that enough?"
Teacher He fanned the flames: "Afan, you're wrong. How can you say Mimi's acting is bad? Mimi has had her moments of glory!"
Teacher Huang also spoke up and expressed his own opinion: "Of course, there are lows too!"
Peng Peng raised his hand weakly: "It's just that there are more low points!"
Everyone laughed together, and the yard was filled with a happy atmosphere.
When the noise had almost died down, Teacher He clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, now that my KPI has been completed, we can talk about something else."
Peng Peng, who seemed to be always energetic, immediately tried to bridge the gap between them and Teacher He: "Teacher He, what should we talk about?"
Teacher He rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, his eyes lighting up: "We can't let Afan, Mimi, and Biao come to our Mushroom House for nothing, so why not let them perform some talents!"
Yang Mi's eyes widened immediately, and she pointed at her nose. "Teacher He, did you get it wrong? You are the masters, shouldn't you four be performing for the three of us?"
Teacher Huang took a sip of tea slowly and said slowly, "Our Mushroom House is different from other places. Our rule is that guests come to perform their talents for the host."
Peng Peng immediately raised his hand and agreed, "Yes, yes, yes! This is a tradition in the Mushroom House!"
Teacher He nodded seriously and said, "Yes, this has been the rule since the first season."
Sister Zifeng didn't say anything, she just covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes curved into crescents.
As for the performance talent, Lin Bufan did not refuse: "In that case, then the guest should follow the host's wishes.
Let me show you how to read your palm!" As he spoke, Lin Bufan was about to hold Zifeng's hand.
Teacher He was quick-witted and stood in front of Zifeng: "Hey, hey, hey, stop it! If you keep touching me, my sister Zifeng's hands will be peeled off!"
Sister Zifeng blushed with shame, stamped her feet and said coquettishly, "Teacher He!"
Lin Bufan also looked aggrieved: "Teacher He, this is your fault. I am a serious palm reader, not one of those hooligans who take advantage of girls by reading palms."
Teacher He naturally didn't believe what Lin Bufan said: "If that's the case, then you can show it to me. I also want to know what my future situation will be like."
Lin Bufan looked Teacher He up and down, and suddenly said seriously, "I'm sorry, Teacher He, but everyone has their own specializations. I specialize in gynecology, so I can't read men's palms."
"Puff——" Teacher Huang spat out a mouthful of tea.
Peng Peng also laughed so hard that he fell over: "Hahahaha - Master, you are so talented!"
Teacher He pointed at Lin Bufan, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Ah Fan, you're kind of admitting your guilt now, aren't you? I've never heard of palmistry being able to differentiate between men and women!"
Lin Bufan spread his hands innocently. "Teacher He, I think you know that my master is an unparalleled master. He is not only proficient in traditional Chinese culture, but also has a deep understanding of Western culture. After discovering that traditional Chinese culture was gradually declining, he pondered and searched for the reason. Later, he finally realized that it was not that our culture was bad, but that it was too broad and profound for ordinary people to learn!"
As he spoke, Lin Bufan stood up and paced around the pavilion with his hands behind his back, looking like an old scholar. "For example, physiognomy takes ten to eight years just to get started, and mastering it is even more difficult. So my master came up with a solution - to break down traditional culture and let those with mediocre talents specialize in a single area. Although they won't become masters this way, at least they can learn something."
My master said I had average aptitude for physiognomy, so he only taught me palm reading, and only on women under 38. He wouldn't allow me to read palms if I was older than that, saying he was worried I wouldn't be able to grasp the technique, and he wanted to do it himself.
After hearing Lin Bufan's shameless words, everyone was speechless.
It's really hard for you to describe lust in such a refreshing and refined way!
Teacher He rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Did your master tell you that you can only show it to pretty girls?"
Lin Bufan immediately pretended to be surprised: "Teacher He, how do you know that I can only be seen by pretty girls? Have you met my master?"
Everyone burst into laughter again.
After laughing, Teacher He waved his hands helplessly: "Alright, alright, it's getting late, hurry up and perform your talents, and then we'll go to bed."
After a brief pause, Teacher He quickly added, "No palm reading!"
Lin Bufan shrugged, looking regretful: "Since you don't know what's good, then I can only perform a magic trick for you."
"Magic?" Everyone looked at Lin Bufan in surprise. They didn't expect that he had this ability.
Lin Bufan stood up, walked to the center of the pavilion, and motioned for everyone to be quiet: "Magic is fake, so many close-up magic tricks have shills. We are all in the entertainment industry, and I'm sure many of us have had experience as shills."
As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes were cast on Teacher He. Teacher He quickly waved his hands: "Don't look at me, I've never been a shill!"
Lin Bufan smiled and waved his hand: "This magic trick of mine is also a close-up magic trick, which I have practiced for many years. If anyone can find the flaw, I will give her a mysterious gift."
Lin Bufan's words immediately raised everyone's expectations to the maximum. Peng Peng couldn't help but ask, "Master, what is this mysterious gift you mentioned?"
Lin Bufan pressed his hand down: "Since it is a mysterious gift, it must be a little mysterious. Once you find the flaw, you will know!"
Although Lin Bufan said this, he actually didn't prepare any mysterious gift at all. After all, with the existence of the system space, he didn't believe that anyone could find the flaw!
