Chapter 739: I'm Showing My Cards, I'm a Billionaire

For the sake of the film's effect, Luo Mo had Liu Shixiong gain weight.

His girlfriend, who was a fitness coach, just watched helplessly as the results of her own training vanished into thin air.

Liu Shixiong was even slightly fatter than he had been at his own peak weight.

Therefore, when he wore a dress shirt and trousers to show off his skills as a goalkeeper in the movie, flopping around on the ground, he looked exactly like a big, fat fish.

At the very beginning of the movie, someone deliberately tests the male lead, Wang Duoyu, by asking him to throw the game.

The other party offers him 200,000 to let in three goals.

Wang Duoyu refuses decisively and delivers a very fiery, iconic line.

"A goalkeeper's job is to guard the bottom line on the football field."

"As long as I am still standing in front of the goal line, you won't be able to score a single goal."

As it turns out, he strikes a cool pose on the field, and the opposing team scores immediately.

It is worth mentioning that after this goal is scored, the team coach on the sidelines starts cursing up a storm.

This coach is played by Wei Xiang.

On Earth, observant audience members discovered a continuity error here.

At the beginning, the coach is wearing a belt with his trousers.

But in this shot, the coach, who is jumping up in anger, has no belt on his trousers.

In fact, this isn't a continuity error; a segment of the coach's footage had been cut.

In the Blue Star version, Luo Mo added it back in because it was truly quite brilliant.

This plot segment involves the coaches of the two teams arguing.

The two coaches trade insults, repeating the same two words over and over—"idiot."

Seeing that this argument was going nowhere, Coach Ma Daxiang from Wang Duoyu's side pulls out his own belt, deciding to engage the other party in some close-quarters combat.

The opposing coach, not to be outdone, also pulls out his own belt.

—"Wait for the lash of justice, you lowly dog!"

Just as the two coaches are about to fight, the players from both sides rush up and grab the two men tightly.

Just as everyone is busy breaking up the fight, Coach Ma immediately changes his expression, taking the initiative to offer a handshake.

At this point, the audience feels that this kind of humor is familiar.

Isn't it just that kind of posturing drama, where they are just waiting for others to pull them apart, and if no one pulls them, they'll just be embarrassed?

Watching the movie, Xu Jinzhu even recalls his middle and high school days, when campus fights were just like this.

Everyone trades insults, and after the insults, it seems like a fight is about to break out, but in the end, it just fizzles out.

"A bit cliché," he hears the man sitting behind him whisper.

If it were someone else's movie, Xu Jinzhu would certainly think it was too cliché as well.

But he is no longer the Xu Jinzhu he once was.

"Bullshit, could my brother-in-law write such an ordinary plot?" he thinks to himself.

Sure enough, in the next scene, the Reversal appears.

Didn't the coaches on both sides pull out their belts, preparing for a bit of public-place whipping play?

Just as Coach Ma pretends to shake hands, the moment the other party reaches out, he suddenly squats down and pulls the other coach's pants down!

He pulls his pants down, pulls them down, down...

After pulling them down, he laughs wickedly, jumping up and down in excitement.

The sudden Reversal makes the Cinema burst into laughter instantly.

Damn, what kind of dirty trick is this!

Are all the people on Wang Duoyu's team a bunch of geniuses?

Only Xu Jinzhu, feeling satisfied, suddenly turns his head and glances at the man who spoke earlier.

The man sitting in the back row is slightly puzzled: "Did I accidentally kick the front row just now?"

Thinking this, he returns an apologetic look, tilting his head forward and nodding slightly.

The young man, who has already taken it upon himself to be Luo Mo's brother-in-law, nods at him, affirming his attitude.

"Looks like I really did kick him."

………

………

The opening plot of Hello Mr. Billionaire is that Wang Duoyu didn't take the money, but still managed to let in 5 goals through his own "ability."

The audience is so angry they shout: "Fake game! Fake game! Fake game!"

Even though he is clearly so pathetic, the audience laughs out loud.

The people on the opposing team even pick him up and toss this "great hero" high into the air to celebrate.

—"Killing the Heart!"

In the end, Wang Duoyu is fired from the team.

His good buddy Zhuang Qiang originally wanted to stand up for him, saying that if Wang Duoyu is fired, he won't work there either.

—"Give me some Face."

As a result, Coach Ma Daxiang claps like a seal with a smile: "It's a deal! Double happiness!"

In just a few short minutes, everyone is left with a deep impression of this Coach Ma Daxiang.

People aren't very familiar with this Actor, but they all find him quite funny, and his performance in the Comedy is actually quite good.

Almost every scene he is in has dense comedic beats.

Wang Duoyu and Zhuang Qiang, having been fired, run into a professional scammer On the Road.

The female lead, Xia Zhu, appeared at this point.

However, she started off with a Taiwanese accent and a Clip Voice that made one's bones feel soft, but as soon as she got angry, she revealed her true self.

Isn't this our girl from the Northeast!

After the movie had started for over ten minutes, it finally entered the main Drama.

Many movies by Mahua FunAge are like this; the main plot does not begin right away.

Like in Charlotte Troubles, it doesn't start with time travel immediately, but chooses to lay out the story background first, shaping the surrounding characters and portraying their personalities beforehand.

Because the jokes are dense, this method doesn't make people feel like it's dragging.

But this technique is definitely beneficial for the subsequent development of the story.

A narrative-style progression mode can also make the audience's viewing experience more immersive.

It turns out the person who asked him to throw the game at the beginning wasn't some team owner; his name is Lao Jin.

Wang Duoyu had a Second Granduncle who had lost contact with the family, and with Wang Duoyu as his only heir, he left behind a terrifying inheritance.

However, he also set tasks and conditions for the inheritance.

The old gentleman before them was one of the people in charge of this matter.

A hidden subplot was actually buried here.

"Why did the Second Granduncle fall out with all his family members back then?"

"Why didn't the Second Granduncle even have a single descendant?"

Of course, more of the audience were immersed in the satisfying points of this part of the Drama.

"Holy crap, a windfall from the heavens!"

"I also want a Second Granduncle like that!"

"I'm going home to ask my grandfather if there are any relatives he's hiding from me."

"No wonder it's called Hello Mr. Billionaire!"

"A loser gets a direct turnaround!"

On the big screen, the video recorded in advance by the Second Granduncle began to appear.

The Second Granduncle appeared very dissatisfied with Wang Duoyu.

After investigating him, he was so angry he spat out a "Peh," and his dentures even flew out.

Lao Jin, who looked a bit like the Second Granduncle's butler, watched the video with deep eyes.

This was another detail; his gaze toward the Second Granduncle was different from everyone else's, filled with deep nostalgia.

He had already raised his hand in advance.

In the video, when the Second Granduncle shouted, "Lao Jin, slap him for me," he slapped Wang Duoyu directly.

After hitting him, the Second Granduncle said, "Listen up, I want you to spend one billion within a month!"

"If you can do it, you can inherit my 30 billion estate!"

In an instant, a bunch of audience members in the Cinema were crazily envious.

What kind of hell-level difficulty test is this? Let me do it!

If I don't go to hell, who will!

"I thought the test was something else; it's just testing my speed at spending money?"

"What does that mean, picking a spendthrift?"

"Hilarious, spend 1 billion in a month? I'll finish it for you in a week!"

In the movie, Wang Duoyu wasn't stupid either, and said directly, "There must be conditions!"

In the video, the Second Granduncle even interacted with him across time and space: "Of course there are conditions."

The rules for inheriting the 30 billion estate are as follows:

First, you must spend this money legally within Xihong City.

No gambling, no drugs, you are not allowed to touch any of that!

As a man, the Second Granduncle was also cruel enough to forbid anything lewd.

Furthermore, after one month, you cannot have any assets remaining.

Buying a few streets, buying planes, or buying yachts—none of that is allowed.

Then, you cannot give it away, you cannot do charity; every cent must be spent on yourself, at least it must have a connection to yourself.

And then, you can only hire no more than one hundred people, provided you must accept the equivalent services they provide.

The Second Granduncle also said, I know what you're thinking, buying a few famous paintings or something and then burning them?

It's useless! The fourth rule is that you are not allowed to destroy anything of value, and you are not allowed to drive up prices.

Finally, you are not allowed to tell anyone about this game.

In an instant, many audience members in the Cinema began to discuss it in low voices.

Even Zhao Tong and Xu Chong'an were communicating in very soft voices.

However, since the two of them had their own business empires, their conversation content was more sophisticated than the average audience member; they wouldn't suggest naive ideas that didn't follow the rules and then feel smug about them.

College student Xu Jinzhu suddenly joined the group chat.

"I'll call my sister... Brother Mo bringing all the Singers from the company to sing for me for a month, I wonder if that's enough?"

Actually, the Second Granduncle's test for Wang Duoyu was hidden beneath the 【Amount】.

The first step, giving you 200,000 to throw a game, was to see if you could maintain your own bottom line in the face of money.

If giving you 200,000 is enough to make you abandon your bottom line, then giving you more money is actually harming this only descendant of his.

The second step: give you one billion, let you spend it desperately, and let you desperately experience the joy of throwing money around like dirt.

Whether you spend it all in the end actually isn't that important. What's important is that after experiencing this month of luxurious living, he will know what it tastes like to be rich.

Then, comes the ultimate test.

After experiencing the taste of being a rich person, let's see if you can accept this disparity and return to poverty for the sake of the life of someone you care about!

Everything before this was merely foreshadowing.

The focus is still on making a choice between 【Money】 and 【Human Nature】.

This actually also involves the previous foreshadowing.

After Second Granduncle investigated Wang Duoyu, he was very disappointed in him.

To make money, he really does all sorts of shameless things.

Therefore, the logic of the story's development is that Second Granduncle is very afraid that his inheritance will harm this only descendant who looks unreliable, causing his life to be ruined.

At the end of the video, Second Granduncle left Wang Duoyu a way out.

He let him choose not to accept the test, take ten million directly, and walk away.

As for his inheritance, it would be handed over to the foundation of Lai Xiansheng and Yin Xiansheng to manage.

Lao Jin added: "Of course, there will be a very high management fee."

Lai Xiansheng and Yin Xiansheng hurriedly waved their hands with smiles: "Not high! Not high! Not that high!"

Wang Duoyu leaned forward, his fat face full of rolls of flesh, almost unable to fit into the frame.

"Ever since I was little, my grandfather told me that I must do things I am sure of."

His hand first reached toward that ten-million check.

Then, he suddenly picked up a pen and began to sign, choosing to spend the one billion.

Yin Xiansheng and Lai Xiansheng were both stunned.

"You... you've got a way."

"Con... congratulations!"

Wang Duoyu then said to Lao Jin with a grin: "I have never listened to my grandfather's words!"

All of a sudden, the Cinema laughed again.

Lao Jin stated that he would appoint a financial officer to supervise Wang Duoyu.

This financial officer is the film's heroine, Xia Zhu.

As soon as the two met, they started arguing.

After walking out, everyone suggested going to see that one billion in cash first.

His good buddy Zhuang Qiang was waiting for Wang Duoyu; he still thought Lao Jin was the team owner, so he hurriedly asked: "Did they sign you?"

"That, not really, it's just that I inherited one billion." Wang Duoyu acted cool in a breezy, nonchalant way.

"What a letdown, I thought you had found a new employer!" Zhuang Qiang said.

The Cinema laughed like crazy again.

It wasn't until everyone walked into the elevator that Zhuang Qiang finally reacted, shouting like a slaughtered pig: "What did you just say? One billion!?"

Zhuang Qiang's character design became a little more fleshed out again.

At this moment, the entire audience in the Cinema, looking at that mountain of one billion in cash on the big screen, all let out a "Wow—!"

With so much money piled together, the visual impact was truly invincible.

The most important thing was that this money looked very realistic.

"Real bills! Definitely real bills!"

"Could this be Luo Mo's own vault?"

"Damn, if it were me, my legs would go weak too!"

"Shocking! One billion in cash actually cured my trypophobia!"

If Luo Mo knew the audience's inner thoughts, he would definitely wave his hand with a smile.

"Hey! What are you talking about, how could it be real bills."

"Oh, it was just a group called Hua Jiaqun that I had work overtime to print out."

Yes, these are not special effects!

This is a dream collaboration between the crew of "Hello Mr. Billionaire" and the crew of "Peerless".

Of course, everything was done under the premise of abiding by the law; otherwise, it wouldn't be a collaboration, it would be collective punishment.

After saying this, Luo Mo would definitely add another sentence: "How could I only have one billion in my vault?"

Sure enough, as soon as Wang Duoyu had money, he started to show off and act out.

Although he was still just as fat and his hairstyle was still just as sloppy, his posture when walking was already significantly different from before.

He was seen taking Zhuang Qiang back to the team.

After returning, he started showing off and even made plans for the soccer field.

One moment he told Zhuang Qiang to tear down the fence, the next he said to just push down the stands.

"By then, this turf will also... wait, this turf? Is this fucking beach soccer?" Wang Duoyu said, looking at the land that was almost devoid of grass.

"Hurry up and bring some turf over, it must meet EU standards," he ordered.

The coach and players of Daxiang Team walked over and surrounded the two.

"Are you two planning a terrorist attack? From what I hear, you're planning to blow my field flat?"

Wang Duoyu looked at him sideways, and the famous scene from the movie appeared.

"I originally intended to get along with you as an ordinary person, but what I got in return was alienation."

"I'm not pretending anymore, I'm a billionaire! I'm showing my cards!"

The Cinema was instantly filled with laughter so loud it felt like heads were rolling on the floor; all the audience members were witnessing the birth of a future iconic meme.

He wanted to rent a football team and invite a well-known domestic team to play a match together.

What was even more absurd was that when this guy gave money, he actually called in an excavator and just dumped the money down like that!

Exclamations and laughter erupted instantly in the Cinema.

Wang Duoyu changed into clothes that looked very expensive but were also very gaudy; his aesthetic sense was truly hard to describe.

He also rented a large fleet of luxury cars and brought everyone from the team along.

The motorcade was driving On the Road, and the background music started playing at this moment.

This was a classic old song from Earth.

But on Blue Star, this was a new song.

It was called—"Protector of the Flowers".

It was magical; even though it was such an old song, the Blue Star audience felt it was exceptionally catchy the first time they heard it, and with the excellent sound effects in the Cinema, the atmosphere was particularly good.

Otherwise, why would people say that classics never go out of style?

Many audience members were thinking about searching for the name of this song after the movie finished.

"As expected of Luo Mo! The songs he writes for movies are just so good!"

Everyone assumed that the song must have been written by Luo Mo.

And as soon as they thought of Luo Mo, the movie actually mentioned him.

It was seen that Wang Duoyu, played by Liu Shixiong, was currently sitting in the same convertible as Xia Zhu.

"You say I'm so unlucky; the first time in my life I sit in a wedding car, it's actually with you."

"You were the one who insisted I sit here, okay?" When Xia Zhu talked to others, she used a Clip Voice, her tone soft and sweet, but only when she talked to Wang Duoyu did she return to her true colors as a girl from the Northeast.

"Look at that sour face of yours; you'll never find a boyfriend in your whole life," Wang Duoyu said.

"Sorry to trouble you, but I already have a boyfriend," Xia Zhu said proudly.

"What a coincidence. What does he do? Is he rich?"

"He's not as rich as you. He's just an ordinary Top Ten Outstanding Youth of Xihong City. He looks very plain, a bit like Luo Mo... an orator, an educator; he usually just goes on TV and travels to various places to give speeches spreading positive energy," Xia Zhu said with her arms crossed, wearing a humble-bragging expression.

The corners of her mouth were almost reaching her ears.

This smugness was practically overflowing from the screen.

Of course, the part of this dialogue that attracted the audience the most was inevitably that humble-bragging line: he looks very plain, a bit like Luo Mo.

As everyone knows, once appearance is mentioned, the two characters "Luo Mo" become an adjective.

Who would have thought that Wang Duoyu would laugh and say, "I thought you were just being modest, but I didn't expect him to be truly this ordinary!"

In an instant, the cinema went crazy with laughter: "Hahahaha! Ordinary! Hahahaha!"

And since the one playing Wang Duoyu was none other than Luo Mo's Liu Shixiong, Liu Gongming, the effect was maximized the moment these words were spoken.

Good grief, Luo Mo, oh Luo Mo, you've really mastered the tropes of scriptwriting—"Making fun of myself"!
