The strongest brain in entertainment

Chapter 191 Run, Brother (4)

It is drizzling and it will be late.

On the playground, as the last student crossed the line, the results of Princess He's team were announced, with a time of 4 minutes and 10 seconds, surpassing Princess Gu's team of 4 minutes and 58 seconds.

Princess He's team won and received an unknown reward in the subsequent brand-name tearing session.

This is great. As soon as everyone successfully crossed the line, the stars thanked the classmates while being suspicious of each other. In this situation, no one can be sure about who.

Qu Ying joked, "He Huan, you, the princess, are the undercover agents, right?"

"Look at Brother Ying's head. I absolutely believe that Brother Ying is innocent. His IQ is not suitable for being an undercover agent."

……

After Qu Ying led the stars to thank the students, today's recording ended.

Qian Feng suggested playing basketball, and after finally going back to campus, he could play a basketball game with his classmates, relax and have a good time.

As arranged by the school, the game started at 6 o'clock in the evening.

After the stars took a bath, they changed into their team uniforms and came to the basketball hall. A group of people interacted with the students while exercising their muscles.

Qu Ying organized everyone and said: "Let's allocate the positions first. Li Fan is the tallest, so he should play center. Where are the others?"

Ding Jiang said: "I'll play guard, I'm short."

Sun Yuan slapped Qian Feng beside him and said, "I play forward!"

……

Everyone had just determined their respective positions, but the next moment they were confused.

I saw a group of burly men walking in from the entrance of the gymnasium. The shortest one was 1 meters tall, which was almost the same as Li Fan, while the tallest one was just over 8 meters by visual inspection.

What are you doing?Just for fun, you have used nuclear weapons to bring the school team over!

The members of the school team came over with smiles and shook hands with the stars one by one. The stars were all dumbfounded and looked at Qian Feng, who had an expression of "I was wrong."

He Huan also deliberately stepped forward to touch the biceps of the team members, and he was so surprised that he looked beautiful, "It's so strong, look at him, and then look at you." She pressed the waist and abdomen of the others again, Well, they're all pretty good.

Sun Yuan said: "Don't be crazy, all of you. When you are in your 30s, you probably won't catch up with us."

This friendly match was lost without any surprise. The school team members put enough water in for fear of accidentally injuring these stars, but the star team basically had no fighting ability.

Among them, Li Fan was the only one who could resist for a while. He wanted to lead his teammates by passing the ball, but his opponent's defense was too sharp and his teammates were too weak to lead him. In the end, he had to do it alone.

Gorgeous inside footsteps, elegant backward jumper, superb dribbling, and the signature one-handed ball movement. After this set, countless girls shouted and tsunami sounded, which also shocked the school team. , thinking that this guy can be the absolute main force in the school team.

But how many nails can Li Fan hit because he is covered in iron?After half the game, I felt exhausted and had to rest.

After playing the basketball game, the stars returned to the hotel, and then all kinds of social situations appeared.

Chen Fang, Qian Feng, Sun Yuan, and others were holding their computers and wanted to "eat chicken"; Zheng Yuan called his invisible girlfriend, who was being investigated; What.

After Qu Ying finished calling her precious child, she let out a long sigh, "What are we going to do? Wang Mu, don't read the script. You managed to escape from Hengdian and you still read the script? Relax."

"This is not going to work. I can't relax. This work is the key to me proving myself. I can watch this show if I can transition from being a fresh meat to a powerful one. Those who scold me on the Internet are almost digging my ancestral grave."

Sun Yuan said: "You deserve to be scolded. Although we are all stars, everyone is fair to say that among the young people, as long as they are particularly good-looking, in this era where the Internet is extremely developed and entertainment is paramount, as long as someone pushes you, you will be popular." It's so easy to get up."

After that, the indoor complaints about Xiaoxianrou began:

"In fact, 'fire' is only one of them, and the fame and fortune brought by 'fire' is the most difficult thing for ordinary people to accept. Everyone thinks that they will not be able to buy a house after working hard all their lives. You are young and good-looking. , Wrap it up, the minimum starting point for a play is [-] million, the distribution of social resources is unfair."

"Nowadays, the salary of tens of millions of dollars is only for entry-level young talents. The salary of the top few young talents with incredible popularity is already around 1 million. But how much is the investment in a movie? Let them take the majority. , then the photos can still look good?”

Wang Mu sweated violently: "Brother and sister, squirt lightly!"

"Wang Mu, it's not against you, we are all buddies, otherwise it would be impossible to bring up this topic around you, right? Let's just talk about this phenomenon, which is too damaging to the quality of film and television works."

Wang Mu laughed at himself: "I understand! Just like what netizens said about our little fresh meat, you need acting skills, no, you need professionalism, and you don't have any. How much do old artists get paid? How much do those actors and actresses get paid? What's the matter, and Xiao Xianrou only has a face left."

Look, there is a certain reason why Wang Mu has been popular all his life. He is only in his 20s, but his mental state is very mature, suddenly, magnanimous, and introspective!

"The current atmosphere is too bad. I personally don't like young actors very much. Many people don't know how to act at all, but when they come out, they look like Hollywood stars. There are three in the front and four in the back. But in fact, there is nothing in the stomach, only airs. !"

"Indeed, among the little fresh meats, I think there are really not many who are working hard, except for Qian Feng and Wang Mu, even though the heat is not yet ready."

……

Wang Mu laughed at himself: "I know my shortcomings, so I try my best to improve myself, but I can't refuse the money, right?"

Qu Ying said: "Of course, if you give it to me, I want it too. We're talking about this kind of phenomenon. It's not normal for the film and television industry to see such an explosion of salary endorsements."

Li Fan said sternly: "However, I have also heard that there are young people who work very hard and fight hard. It is not convenient for me to reveal their names, but their deeds are quite touching."

Everyone asked curiously what his deeds were, and Li Fan said:
"I heard that one time when he was filming a movie, his arm was scratched. The crew was so frightened that the manager immediately went crazy and rushed to send him to the hospital immediately, but he was very dedicated and persisted despite the injury. Make a scene and get a round of applause.”

"Well, there are indeed very few such people, but what happens next?"

"Yeah, it's okay, right?"

Li Fandao: "After the filming, he was sent to the hospital immediately. The doctor sighed and said: 'Fortunately, he was sent early. If he came a little later, the wound would have healed.'"

puff!
Everyone laughed, everyone thought it was an inspirational story, but after a long time of arguing, it turned out to be a joke. Why do you, Li Fan, say a joke so seriously?
Li Fan smiled and thought that since there are no such interesting jokes in this time and space, he would like to offer one more to everyone.

Li Fan thought of this and continued: "I just made everyone laugh, but to be honest, not all girls like little fresh meat, such as Gu Yating -"

Gu Yating was born with a low smile. She was sitting on a chair with her stomach covered and trembling with laughter. Seeing that she was mentioned, she looked up at Li Fan, wondering what was wrong with her?
Li Fan continued: "Gu Yating is indeed mature beyond her peers. We have to admit this. Once I asked her: "Gu Yating, now that small fresh meat is so popular and so popular among girls, what is your favorite small fresh meat?" Who is it?" Guess what Gu Yating said?"

Everyone asked curiously:
"How to say?"

"Yeah, what did you say?"

Li Fan said: "Gu Yating said: 'Only little girls like fresh meat. Mature girls like us like old men, you know? The old man I like is already 20 years old."

"Haha...uh...haha!!" A string of melodious laughter rang out in the room, and Gu Yating lowered her body to cover her stomach again, and tears of laughter instantly soaked her tender skin.

Li Fan saw that the effect was good, and said: "Let me tell you one more real thing. The first two are just to make everyone happy, and the next one is true—"

Sun Yuan interrupted: "Xiaofan, wait a moment, why don't you make fun of Xiaoxianrou like this? Aren't you also Xiaoxianrou?"

Wang Mu smiled and said, "Yes, you still complain about us, don't you?"

"Uh..." Li Fan thought for a while, and said, "I'm not, because small fresh meats generally have a characteristic, ten fresh meats and nine mothers, and one is on the way. I'm not a mother, so I'm not, I should be -"

"You are old bacon!" Gu Yating said proudly.

"Who is Old Barou?"

Everyone turned around and saw the director and screenwriter walking into the room.

The director smiled and said to Li Fan: "How about it, did you have fun?"

"Very happy."

"Where's Gu Yating?"

"Well, the show is quite interesting."

Zheng Yuan said with a smile: "Director, this student bully is not happy. During the day, didn't you say that the level of our program group can't be so low, and come up with topics like 'Liu Bei' and 'Spring Sleeping Unconsciously'?"

The director slapped his thigh and said with a smile, "Yes, Li Fan, what do you mean?"

Li Fan rolled his eyes and said, "Director, what is the theme of our program this time?"

"Princess Defense Battle!"

Li Fan continued to ask: "What about the theme of the game?"

"Student subject matter!"

"That's right, it's about academics! If it were an ordinary competition, then our program team would be able to come up with a topic like 'Who knows how hard every meal is on the plate', but this episode is about academics. And it's a little immodest. To put it bluntly, if Gu Yating and I are invited, we would never dream that the program team would ask such a question. Otherwise, why would we be invited? Netizens must also have this question."

The director rolled his eyelids and said, "Hey, it makes sense."

Li Fan continued: "Since it's a subject of a top student, the topic must not be superficial, right? Even if I guessed 'Liu Bei' and 'Chun Mian Bujuuxiao' first, I have to be the first to filter it out, right? I personally Feel it, the theme of Xueba, the content should be something that netizens think is difficult, and can give full play to the advantages of Xueba, then this episode will be in place. This episode is to give full play to the advantages of Xueba, and the guest teachers are in charge of making fun, you What do you think?"

The director knocked on his forehead and said, "It's quite interesting!"

Li Fan said aggrievedly: "Everyone, think about it, is this a normal thing, but you all still suspect that I am a traitor? I want to say that you are really overthinking it!"

The stars nodded, it made sense.

At this time, Li Fan added a few words, "The level of our program group is still good, but it is much better than many other variety shows. Really, the IQ is basically online."

The screenwriter thought: let you say that, how can there be any IQ?
The director and screenwriter looked at each other and said, "Should we have a meeting?"

The screenwriter said: "I think it is very appropriate."

After the director and screenwriter bid farewell to the stars, they went directly to the meeting and began to study the brand-new plot of tearing up the famous brand. If the difficulty of this game is not increased, I am sorry for the theme of this issue, and I am sorry for the two academic masters invited.

In the room, everyone was confused again. What Li Fan said just now basically cleared up the suspicion. Then the remaining three, who is the undercover agent?
Qu Ying?Sun Yuan?Or "funnel spirit" Wang Mu?
Li Fan frowned, looked at the changes in the expressions of these three people, then turned his head and nodded to He Huan, he said: "Everyone, don't be suspicious of each other, and save your brains when you tear up the famous tags when recording, everyone now Take a good rest."

So, the playing of games continued and the talking on the phone continued, but there were still a few unemployed people.

Sun Yuan said, "How about we play mahjong?"

Hearing the words "playing mahjong", Li Fanbi Che's eyes suddenly lit up, this is a success.

Seeing this, Sun Yuan asked, "Will Li Fan know?"

"Yes! Yes!!"

"Li Fan is one, Brother Ying also likes it, three are missing one."

"Let me do it!" Wang Mu put down the script, but he couldn't stand the temptation of the national essence.

There is no mahjong in this hotel, and an assistant went downstairs to buy a set. Everyone talked about how to play, and then they started to "crash, clatter".

……

"eat!"

……

"bump!"

……

Qu Ying quickly discovered a problem. He played a nine-tick card and said, "Did you notice that the shapes of the cakes, bars, and ten thousand in this mahjong picture are different from the traditional ones!"

"It's true, brother Ying is careful, I didn't notice."

"Well, really!"

This "Nine Articles" is nothing more than nine "vertical".In the traditional suit "strips", each "strip" is textured.

Li Fandao: "I have discovered a long time ago that this tile cannot be called mahjong at all! This is a complete insult to the quintessence of the Chinese nation. It is a blind change! A normal 'bar' must have texture on it, otherwise it will lose its own historical heritage. .”

Gu Yating, who was standing on the sidelines watching the game, rolled her eyes when she heard the words, this gambler, this gambler who can talk nonsense!
Everyone is puzzled:

“Then why does it have to be textured?”

"Yeah, why is that?"

Li Fandao: "Because this 'bar' is an abstract figure, and the prototype of the pattern of 'bar' is a barn, which is a side view of a barn. That is to say, when we look at a barn while standing, it is a cylinder in an abstract view. body, and then planarize this cylinder, that is a rectangle with textures. And those textures are the patterns formed by the mats wrapped and tied layer by layer.”

Everyone nodded again and again, only Gu Yating pouted.

Qu Ying asked curiously: "Then why there is no one, but a chicken instead?"

As soon as this question was asked, everyone raised their ears curiously, and even a few people who were busy playing games cast their "knowledge-seeking" gazes.

"Good question! Let me tell you something: Yaoji replaced 'one'. The reason is of course that the warehouse manager hates eating sparrows.

Because of the habit of armaments in ancient times, food is the most important strategic material, and there are strict regulations on its care, and the consumption of stored food is also strictly limited. Once the consumption exceeds the regulations, you will lose your head.

However, old grain and wet grain have to be dried, and there are too many sparrows in the barn. Not only do they come to 'grab the grain', but they even repair their own nests in barn after barn, and give birth to groups of offspring.Then a warehouse of grain disappeared because sparrows were born.

In mahjong, one (barn) is replaced by a sparrow.Moreover, the sparrow pattern gradually evolved into Yaoji.A chicken is half a bird and half a chicken, both of which eat food.

Using 'yaoji' instead of 'one' also reflects how much the warehouse managers hate sparrows and reminds themselves. "

Everyone's knowledge has greatly increased.

Gu Yating continued to twitch her mouth, thinking nonsense!

Chen Fang shouted while playing the game: "What about the color 'cake'?"

Li Fan said: "Cake, it was originally called 'tube'. It is an ancient dialect, meaning 'granary village', and 'tube' is the top view directly above it, that is to say, 'tube' is an abstract screenshot.

When storing grain in ancient times, people used mats to form a barrel-shaped column space, and the grain was stored inside. In order to prevent leakage and rain, two circles of straw mats were formed by overlapping concentric circles on the top.

Therefore, looking down from directly above the granary, the abstract thing we see is a 'tube', two granaries are two 'tubes', and so on.

The reason why "tube" later became "cake" is because of the mistakes made during the flow of mahjong to the south. "

Wang Mu took out an "eighty thousand" card, slapped it on the table and said, "What about the ten thousand?"

"This '[-]' ah," Li Fan pushed the cards in his hand, and said, "This '[-]', I am fooled! Take the money!"

At this moment, Li Fan received a call, and he got up and went out to answer it.

Qu Ying gave her thumbs up and said with a smile, "This is the real mahjong expert!"

"I didn't expect a small set of mahjong tiles to be quite interesting."

……

When Li Fan returned indoors again, He Huan had already taken his place.

Okay, go out and walk around by yourself.

"Gu Yating, are you going to the night market?"

"Okay!"

The two came out together, taking advantage of the fine weather with the moon and stars, they walked and chatted, and walked to the central square.

"Actually, all the nonsense you just said was wrong. I will save face for you with so many people, and I don't have the nerve to expose you."

Li Fan looked at the young people dancing in the middle of the square, and said with a smile, "Really? Hey, how do you think they danced?"

"It's not good!" Gu Yating decided to let Li Fan realize his mistake, and desperately hoped that Li Fan would realize it!In that case, she will finally be able to step on that brat Li Fan well, and make him always look like he "knows everything in the world"!snort! !

Gu Yating said: "Hey, I said that the origin of mahjong you just said is wrong, can you listen to me carefully, and don't act like you're too lazy to talk to me?"

"It's your right whether you say it or not. It's my freedom whether I listen or not. Tie Lian, you can't restrain me!"

"Get lost! Don't mention these two words again."

Li Fan leaned against the iron fence, and said leisurely: "Okay, as you say, I'll listen and correct you by the way."

Gu Yating rolled her eyes at him and said, "Actually, mahjong is originally the 'Huliang Brand' in Taicang, Jiangsu.

Sparrows were an infestation, so in order to reward those who caught sparrows and protected the grain, the officials who managed the granaries used bamboo chips to record the number of sparrows caught and paid them accordingly.This kind of chip is engraved with various symbols and numbers, which can be viewed, played, and used as a certificate to claim bonuses.The gameplay, symbols and terms of title of this kind of food protection card are all related to catching birds.

The names of the three basic suits of the Mahjong brand are 'Wan, Bundle, Tube'. The pattern of the "barrel" is the cross section of the powder gun, the "barrel" is the barrel of the gun, and several barrels represent the number of gunpowder guns.

'Suo' means 'bundle', which are birds strung together with thin ropes, so the pattern of 'one rope' is represented by birds, several strings are several bunches of birds, and the bonus is calculated according to the number of birds. 'Ten thousand' is the unit of reward, and tens of thousands is the amount of reward.

In addition, 'south, southeast, northwest' is the wind direction, so it is called 'wind'. When shooting birds with a gunpowder gun, the wind direction should be taken into consideration.

As for 'Zhong, Bai, Fa', 'Zhong' means to shoot, so it is red; 'White' means a white board, which is used to fire cannons; 'Fa' means distributing bounties, receiving rewards and making a fortune.

The terminology of mahjong is also related to catching sparrows and protecting food.For example, "touch" means "bang" gunshot.Another example is the brand called 'He', 'He' and 'Falcon' are homophonic, and 'Falcon' is a kind of eagle that catches sparrows.

In addition, terms such as 'eat' and 'bar' are also related to bird hunting.

So why is it called 'Mahjong'?In the Taicang dialect, the pronunciations of 'Mahjong' and 'Mahjong' are close. "

"Well, that makes sense!" Li Fan nodded.

"How? I didn't say this, it was introduced in an authoritative magazine! What you said before is completely nonsense!" Gu Yating said triumphantly.

Just when she was about to organize a group of people to criticize and educate Li Fan in depth, Li Fan suddenly changed the subject.

Li Fan: "It makes sense, it makes sense, but you'd better not read some magazines and books waiting for you, so as to mislead your children."

Gu Yating had a cold face: "What do you mean?"

Li Fan: "What I mean is, with the accuracy of ancient muskets, can they be used to shoot birds? With this technology, can the Eight-Nation Alliance still bully me, the Qing Dynasty?"

Gu Yating frowned and said, "Why do you say that gunpowder guns can't shoot birds?"

"Hey, silly boy!" Li Fan had to introduce all the disadvantages of ancient muskets to her. How could a girl have heard of these, and Gu Yating was confused.

"You're just talking nonsense and bullying my girl who doesn't understand the military!"

Li Fan said: "Okay, then let's find someone who understands and ask, Mr. Xiao, you understand, he is an old man who can't wait to sleep with his arms around mahjong. He also likes to collect mahjong. Let's ask him if it is successful? Let him give it to him. Let's make a statement."

"Okay, no problem."

"Since the law is fixed, there must be winners and losers. So, what's the point in this?"

Gu Yating thought for a while: "If I win, you are not allowed to call me 'Tie Lian' in the future, and you are not allowed to give me a new nickname."

"What if I win?"

"Don't worry, you can't win!"

"What if you win?"

Gu Yating thought to herself how could you win?What I'm talking about is published in authoritative magazines.

She said indifferently: "You say whatever you want, and I promise you."

Li Fan glanced at Gu Yating, the little girl is so juicy.At this time, the music in his ears was very rhythmic, and he suddenly remembered the dance that Gu Yating danced during the recording in the basketball hall during the day, it was great.

Li Fanji took it to heart and said, "Otherwise, if you lose, you can go over and challenge those people who are dancing modern dance and dance with them, okay?"

Gu Yating's chest puffed up, "No problem!"

"Let's take Mr. Xiao's first statement as the standard! Will it work?"

"Of course!"

Li Fan was confident, and this girl was hooked.

Gu Yating hung up the phone for Mr. Xiao, and turned on the external voice, "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry to bother you. I know you have a lot of research on mahjong. Can you tell me..."

Mr. Xiao’s voice rang out from the phone’s microphone, and then:
Gu Yating was stunned, her big, transparent eyes unblinking, half-smiling, "Oh...ah...that's it!"

On the other side of the phone: "This is the origin of mahjong, by the way, Li Fan—"

Seeing this, Li Fan broke the silence and immediately interjected, saying: "Hello, Mr. Xiao, I will definitely bring the tea you asked me to bring you when I return to Spring City. I will remember it. You don't need to remind me from time to time. Mr. Xiao, hang up now. Ah, we are in a bit of a hurry!"

At this time, in Chuncheng, Boss Xiao who was sitting in the living room watching TV was puzzled, and thought: Hey, Li Fan is obviously by your side, why does this girl ask herself this question?Just ask Li Fan directly, I also heard what Li Fan said!
