Chapter 256 Xu Zheng's Meatballs

Emperor Zhenwu said as if he had discovered the most precious treasure in the world: "My dear daughter, let's talk about Xu Zheng. He is a leader in the comedy film industry, like the brightest star in the night sky, radiant and hard to ignore." Emperor Zhenwu's voice was full of admiration and expectation.

His thoughts seemed to drift back to the hilarious movie Lost on Journey. "Just think about it, Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zheng, this pair of funny people, encountered countless bizarre things during their journey, which made people laugh."

At the airport, Niu Geng was carrying a lot of bags, looking naive, and preparing to board the plane. His worn-out woven bag was in stark contrast to the exquisite suitcases of the passengers around him. The security personnel stopped him and told him seriously that milk could not be brought on board. Niu Geng's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, as if he was questioning the whole world: "Why can't I bring milk?" Then, he gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and drank the big bucket of milk in one breath at the boarding gate. He puffed his cheeks and swallowed the milk in big gulps, and the white liquid overflowed from the corners of his mouth. The scene was so funny that it made people laugh. The passengers and staff around were stunned, their eyes were full of surprise and astonishment, and they couldn't help laughing at Niu Geng's desperate look. The laughter echoed in the empty airport hall, like a joyful symphony.

After getting on the plane, Niu Geng made a lot of jokes because it was his first time on a plane. He touched here and there, and was curious about everything on the plane. His fingers gently touched the armrests of the seat, feeling the unfamiliar material. His eyes were wide open, like two bright lanterns, looking at everything around him. When the plane encountered turbulence, he was so nervous that he held the armrests of the seat tightly, his face was pale, and he was still muttering. His trembling hands seemed to be telling his inner fear. Li Chenggong looked at him helplessly, as if saying, "Why is this guy so unsophisticated?" Li Chenggong's eyes were full of disgust and helplessness. He frowned slightly, as if thinking about how to get rid of this bumpkin.

On the train, the two of them were fighting over a sleeper ticket. Niu Geng relied on his stupidity and persistence to confront Li Chenggong. They argued back and forth, accusing each other, and neither of them was willing to give in. Niu Geng's voice was high-pitched and passionate, as if he was fighting for his rights. Li Chenggong's voice was low and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty. Their quarrel echoed in the narrow carriage, attracting the attention of the surrounding passengers. Finally, under the mediation of the conductor, the two had to sleep together. At night, Niu Geng's snoring was so loud that Li Chenggong couldn't fall asleep at all. He tried various ways to stop Niu Geng from snoring, such as pushing him and covering his mouth, but to no avail. Li Chenggong's crazy look made people laugh. His hair was scattered messily on his forehead, and his eyes were full of fatigue and helplessness. Another time, the train stopped temporarily, and Niu Geng thought he had arrived at the station, so he pulled Li Chenggong off the train. It turned out that they got off at the wrong station, and the two stood in the wilderness, looking confused. The desolate land, the silent night, and their helpless expressions formed a picture that was both funny and helpless.

Emperor Zhenwu said with emotion: "This movie is like a bomb of joy, which instantly blows away the audience's worries. Moreover, the movie also reflects some social realities, which makes people think while laughing. For example, Li Chenggong is very successful outside, but when he returns home, he faces family conflicts and problems. This is like a mirror, reflecting the living conditions of many people."

Then, Emperor Zhenwu mentioned Lost in Thailand. "The combination of the beautiful scenery of Thailand and the funny plot is a perfect match. Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo embarked on a crazy adventure in Thailand. The scene was as lively as the Chinese New Year."

At the beginning, the business elite played by Xu Zheng hurried to Thailand to get the authorization letter. At the airport, he met Wang Baoqiang, whose silly look and overly enthusiastic behavior gave Xu Zheng a headache. Wang Baoqiang was wearing a bright floral shirt and a bright smile on his face, as if the whole world was full of sunshine. Xu Zheng was wearing a well-tailored suit and a pair of sunglasses, looking particularly cool. They took a taxi together, and Wang Baoqiang took pictures and sang from time to time, which made Xu Zheng upset. Wang Baoqiang's singing was loud and cheerful, as if he was announcing his happiness to the world. Xu Zheng frowned tightly, his eyes full of impatience.

When they arrived at the temple, the three of them chased each other for the power of attorney, making the temple a mess. Wang Baoqiang accidentally knocked down a Buddha statue, and was so scared that he knelt down and kowtowed. His panic made people laugh. His body was shaking, his forehead was pressed tightly to the ground, and he kept muttering something. Xu Zheng and Huang Bo stood aside, staring at him in amazement. Also in the floating market, they fought with each other and finally fell into the water. Xu Zheng looked embarrassed, his hair was wet, and his glasses were crooked, while Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo laughed beside him. Their laughter echoed on the water, as if they were a group of happy elves.

Emperor Zhenwu said excitedly: "These two comedy movies have brought countless joys to everyone. Xu Zheng's talent and charm are like a magic wand. Just a wave of his hand can make people laugh. His wealth and influence should not be underestimated. If such a son-in-law came into our house, it would really make us proud. We can enjoy all kinds of joys, just like falling into a sea of ​​joy. In the future, our home will be like a party every day, full of laughter and joy. Just think about it, how comfortable life will be!"

However, Shuiying rolled his eyes and responded slowly, "Dad, don't just look at the surface. Xu Zheng is great, but comedy movies also have their limitations. Take Lost on Journey for example, although it's funny, it's just a laugh and it's over, lacking depth. And if you watch too many movies like this, you'll get bored."

Mizukage frowned slightly, his eyes full of thought. "Look at Niu Geng and Li Chenggong. Although they experienced a lot along the way, in the end they just returned to their own life tracks without any substantial changes. It's like eating a piece of candy. It's sweet, but it doesn't have much nutrition."

Mizukage's eyes turned to the distance, as if he was thinking about the meaning of life. "Looking at Lost in Thailand again, although it was filmed in Thailand with great excitement, it is just a pure commercial comedy without much connotation. It's just for fun, and you forget it after watching it."

Mizukage sighed softly and continued, "Besides, Xu Zheng is busy filming movies all day long. The work pressure is so great and he is very busy all day long. This will definitely affect his family life. Although his career is successful, it is not perfect. The son-in-law I want must be someone who can find a balance between career and family. Xu Zheng still needs to work harder."

Mizukage's eyes were full of determination, and she continued, "Besides, the comedy movies he made are sometimes too exaggerated. They are funny for the sake of being funny, which makes people feel a little deliberate. It's like a clown trying hard to make people laugh, but after laughing, they feel a little empty. I hope my other half is a real and natural person, not pretending to be crazy all day long. And his movie style is a bit monotonous, always the same funny mode, without any innovation. It's like a chef who can only cook one dish, and you get tired of it after eating it too much."

Hey, the Mizukage raised his mouth, and his face was full of disdain. "Dad, we have to talk about Xu Zheng's image. Oh my god, his head is so bald, just like a giant pissing beef ball! Why doesn't he know how to clean himself up? Looking at his bald head, my appetite is gone instantly, as if someone cast a spell on me. If I put a dish next to his head, I guess the food won't taste good."

Mizukage put his hands on his hips, and his aura seemed to be ready to fight Xu Zheng's image for 300 rounds. "Who doesn't like handsome and charming boys these days? They are the kind of guys who attract attention wherever they go, and have a 200% chance of turning heads. But what about Xu Zheng? He just wanders around with his bald head all day long. His head is so bright that it can be used as a mirror. You don't even need a flashlight when you go out at night. And his belly is as round as a big balloon, and he looks like a real-life Zhu Bajie. When he was playing Zhu Bajie, he probably didn't expect that he would look like him one day! When he walked on the street, people thought he was Zhu Bajie who traveled to the modern era."

Mizukage stamped his feet, raising a cloud of dust. "Walking down the street, hey, I bet even if he stood in the most conspicuous place, no one would recognize him as a big star. Big stars are radiant and fashionable when they go out. But Xu Zheng is so sloppy and walks around everywhere. If I find a man like this as my partner, I will become a joke in the universe! This is totally inconsistent with my aesthetic standards. Standing next to him, I think I would feel like I've eaten some weird beans, and I would be disgusted. Thinking about that scene gives me goose bumps all over my body."

Mizukage's eyes lit up as she began to fantasize about her ideal significant other. "I hope that my man is as handsome as a superhero. His face looks like it was carved out, better looking than a movie star. His high nose bridge is like a slide, and his deep eyes are like a mysterious black hole that can suck people in. When the corners of his mouth slightly rise, wow, it can melt glaciers. And his temperament must be perfectly controlled. He must walk with the wind, like a model on a catwalk, with his own background music. Every step he takes is like a king, so that others will think he is a prince from a fairy tale at first glance."

Mizukage gestured with his hands. "Fashion and taste are essential. He must be the leader of the fashion industry, and he can lead any trend. He has a great sense of style in dressing, and can easily handle all styles. Whether it is casual style, business style or trendy style, he can dress in his own way. If you take me out, I will definitely get a lot of attention, and everyone will be envious. I'm not like Xu Zheng, with a bald head and a big belly, like a greasy middle-aged uncle. When I walk on the street, people will think I'm an old man from the vegetable market who is out for a stroll."

Mizukage sighed and looked at Emperor Zhenwu helplessly. "Dad, you should quickly give up the idea of ​​letting Xu Zheng be your son-in-law. He is so far from my standard. I want someone who can make me the happiest princess in the world, not someone like Xu Zheng. He should just focus on making his movies and stop messing with my plans for choosing a spouse."

Shuiying began to imagine the future again. "My boyfriend will tell me jokes when I'm unhappy and make me laugh until I cry. If I encounter difficulties, he will appear immediately like Superman and save me from the water and fire. He will take me to various romantic places to watch the beautiful sunrise, enjoy the gorgeous sunset, and lie on the beach to watch the stars. We will eat all kinds of delicious food together. He is not like Xu Zheng, who is busy making movies all day and can't even take care of his image. How can he have time to accompany me?"

Shuiying shook her head, as if to completely get rid of Xu Zheng's shadow from her mind. "Anyway, I will never look for someone like Xu Zheng as my partner. I will stick to my standards and wait for my prince charming to come pick me up on a colorful cloud. By then, I will be as happy as if I fell into a honey pot. As for Xu Zheng, just keep tossing around in his movie world and don't influence my ideas about choosing a partner. Humph!"

Emperor Zhenwu was unwilling to give up and brought up "Dying to Survive" again. "My daughter, don't underestimate Xu Zheng. He is not only good at making comedies. "Dying to Survive" is so amazing! It shows the social reality problems so profoundly and resonates with everyone."

Emperor Zhenwu's eyes were full of admiration, as if he saw the scenes in the movie. "Xu Zheng's performance in the film is also very good, and he portrayed the character of Cheng Yong very well. At the beginning, Cheng Yong was a profit-seeking small trader who took the risk of smuggling drugs from India in order to make money. He wore sloppy clothes, had a greasy beard, and looked like a mercenary. But as the plot developed, he saw the pain and helplessness of those patients, and his heart gradually changed."

Zhenwudi's voice was deep and powerful. He continued, "He began to fight for the benefit of his patients, even at the risk of being caught. He dealt with the police and fought against fake drug dealers. His bravery was admirable. Especially when he was finally caught, he looked at those patients bidding him farewell, and his eyes were full of emotion and determination. He changed from a selfish person to a hero who saved patients. This transformation was touching."

Emperor Zhenwu said with emotion: "This movie is not only a box office success, but also has a good reputation. Xu Zheng's talent is evident."

However, Shuiying remained unmoved and shook his head and said, "Dad, Dying to Survive is indeed good, but it cannot cover up Xu Zheng's shortcomings in other aspects. He was so busy when he was shooting comedies, and it must not be easy to shoot such a serious movie. He still has no time to take care of his family. Moreover, the style of his works is not very stable, sometimes funny, sometimes serious, which makes people confused. The son-in-law I want must be someone with a stable style and who can give me a sense of security. Xu Zheng is still far from my standard."

Mizukage's eyes were full of doubt. She continued, "Look at him in Dying to Survive. Although he acted very well, it's just a movie. You can't praise him to the skies just because of this movie.

And after making this serious movie, he went on to make a comedy. Doesn't this make people think that he is very fickle? I hope my partner is a person with firm beliefs and principles, and will not easily change his style and direction.

And although he is a hero in the movie, what about in real life? Who knows if he can be as brave and kind as in the movie? I don't want to take the risk of finding an uncertain person as my partner. "
