Initially, according to Li Mu's request, even if Larry Page appears in the final broadcast of the show, his actual identity must not be mentioned, and he can only be called a foreign friend.
But that was before Li Mu prepared to seize Google's shares, and the two sides were at a tense stage. But now, Google has joined its own camp. In this case, there is no need to hide Larry Page's identity. deal with.
Therefore, when a tired-looking Larry Page sat under a tree on TV, a line of subtitles appeared on the screen: "This American friend is the founder and CEO of Google, Larry Page..."
Like Zhao Ziqiu, countless viewers were surprised when they saw this line of subtitles.
First of all, what surprised me was that Larry Page, a Silicon Valley tycoon worth billions of dollars, actually carried a backpack and ran to a mountain village in China to find Li Mu. He doesn't look like a billionaire, but like a typical backpacker in Western society.
Secondly, I was surprised that Larry Page was treated like this on the program set. To be precise, he was not treated at all. He was not even given a penny, so he just sat under a tree and watched Li Mu fishing...
Zhao Ziqiu was very surprised and asked: "Why did this Larry Page come all the way to the filming location to find you? You don't seem to like seeing him."
Li Mu smiled and asked, "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 and just went fishing. Under normal circumstances, if you have friends coming all the way here, you must give priority to entertaining them. That’s right.”
Li Mu laughed and said: "At that time, he was not a friend to me, but a rival. Now he is considered a friend."
Zhao Ziqiu stuck out his tongue: "Okay, you are bad enough."
On TV, Larry Page looks dejected, and he does look quite decadent.
Li Mu looked at it and found it very interesting.
In his opinion, the pitiful Larry Page in front of the camera was completely self-inflicted. He and Google's top executives were just a group of chuunibian patients who were not strong-willed enough.
At first, I and Yan Yuese wanted to cooperate with them, but they became so enthusiastic that they were reluctant to take more than ten percent of their shares.
In the end, he simply registered a shell company, invited Baidu to perform a show, and officially fell out with them. Larry Page could only go so far to seek abuse in person, and then obediently gave up 30% of his shares to the dock. Just typical ignorance of good and evil.
I also hope that this footage of Larry Page can be spread overseas, so that overseas Internet elites can see Larry Page begging for abuse, and it can also serve as a warning to them.
In the subsequent content, Li Mu's behavior in the show was not at all like what a richest man should be.
In the previous life, "In the Longing for Life", a boss worth hundreds of millions came to the countryside. 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 the rural life when he was in Moguwu, and even mastered various life skills in the countryside. .
For example, the entire 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 fires for cooking in rural areas. The stoves in rural areas were only burned before cooking every day, and how to cook them was also very particular.
Li Mu was particularly skillful in helping Huang Lei light a fire on TV. He took newspapers, dried wheat straw and corn stalks, and then chopped firewood.
When making a fire, first stuff the wheat straw into the stove, then light it with newspapers and throw it in to ignite the wheat straw. Then put in the corn stalks and pull the bellows to let the fire burn. At this time, quickly put in the most difficult firewood. Throw it in, and when the wheat straw is burned out and the corn stalk is almost burned, the firewood has been ignited and is burning more and more vigorously.
Li Mu's series of procedures for making a fire are very clear, and the operation is also very organized. There is no rush at all. The later subtitles mark out the steps of making a fire one by one, and add a text: "Lighting a fire on the stove." Standard demonstration.”
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 pressurized water well of the Mushroom House. It cannot pressurize the water directly. It must first pour in some water to divert water, and then press it for a while before the water will come out. However, many guests did not understand this problem before. When they came, there was a burst of pressure. When I found that there was no water, I gave up immediately, and then went to the resident guest to report that there was a problem with the pressure well.
The audience also knows that this pressurized water well must be diverted to produce water, so they are used to the routine of seeing every guest at a loss and then asking the resident guests for help.
However, on TV, after Li Mu pressed it a few times and found that no water came out, he directly scooped a bowl of water from the bucket next to him. After pouring it in, he pressed it a few times and the water gradually began to gush out.
These subtle details make the audience feel more intimate with Li Mu, and also make Li Mu become more down-to-earth in front of the audience.
By the time Li Mu took them into the mountains to look for the cicada turtle, Li Mu no longer looked like a billionaire on the screen, he was just a young man from the countryside.
When the audience watched Li Mu lead these guests into the woods with ease, and then very skillfully catch the cicada monkeys that had just emerged from the ground one by one, they even thought that because Li Mu was so experienced, he should be a permanent guest. .
However, what most viewers are more concerned about is how to eat this thing.
China has a vast land and rich resources, and people’s living habits in each place are also different. Although cicadas are found all over the country, not many people eat them.
Audiences who are used to eating cicada monkeys feel very friendly when they see this, but those who are not so used to it are also full of shock and curiosity.
Later, Li Mu brought back a large number of cicada monkeys, washed them, prepared them, and fried them into golden brown. Many viewers watched in fascination and were looking forward to these guests eating cicada monkeys later. performance at the time,
The classic plot of this kind of plot is that a certain person or some people refuse to eat at first, but finally bite the bullet and try a little, and find that it is delicious, so they eat non-stop.
One such plot can basically support an episode of a variety show. If there are several, then this episode can be said to be very enjoyable for the audience.
Just like Wang Jingze in "Metamorphosis", when the audience looks at this kind of character, what they look forward to is the moment when he surrenders. As long as he surrenders, everyone will be happy.
Huang Lei didn't have much difficulty accepting the cicada monkey. He just picked up the chopsticks and ate it. He Juan hesitated a little, but after a few dozen seconds, he picked up the chopsticks, picked up one and put it in his mouth. Rise.
After the two of them ate, they both spoke highly of the cicada monkey, but this had no positive impact on Peng Yuyan who was beside him. His eyes were still filled with fear when he looked at the cicada monkey.
Young people like Peng Yuyan, who did not dare to try it, only plucked up the courage to try to eat one after Li Mu's encouragement. Originally, his expression was still extremely painful and fearful until he put the cicada monkey into his mouth. But when he chewed it in his mouth, all his fears and worries disappeared in an instant.
When he praised the cicada monkey with a smile and surprise on his face, all the viewers felt the long-awaited pleasure at this moment. This is the charm of variety shows.
Immediately afterwards, Larry Page from the United States was also pushed to the shelves by Li Mu. The audience was subconsciously full of the same expectations for such a foreigner from across 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 the Chinese, Japan or South Korea, they all pay great attention to Westerners’ evaluation of their own things. If Westerners like to eat Chinese food, the Chinese people They will feel very happy. If Westerners like to eat sushi, Japanese people will also feel very happy. It is because of this mentality that the audience is full of expectations for Larry Page's next performance and expects him to like this. Grow Chinese local delicacies.
Larry Page did not disappoint the audience. He was a little more scared than Peng Yuyan at the beginning. When he was forced to try it out, his face looked like he was about to die.
But when Larry Page actually tasted the taste of cicadas, he acted like a completely different person.
Then the style of the TV screen changed suddenly, and Peng Yuyan and Larry Page started to actively compete for food.
When a foreigner like Larry Page has completed the transformation from fear, to acceptance, and then to grabbing food, the excitement of this episode has exceeded the audience's expectations.
Zhao Ziqiu lay in Li Mu's arms and watched with gusto. He was still not satisfied until the end. He couldn't help but sigh: "I never thought that a variety show about experiencing life in rural areas could be so good. This show started from me. After watching the first issue, I haven’t missed a single issue, it’s so 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 too many variety shows filmed in studios, so now as long as the variety shows are moved out of the room, it is basically half the battle. The rest is to find a good entry point. This entry point The point is: what will the host and the guests do after they move out of the studio? They can come to the countryside to experience life together, or they can play interesting games together in every corner of the city, or they can even be fathers with their children. Traveling to various places to experience life may not sound very interesting, but when someone puts a program like this in front of you, you will find its uniqueness."
