Huayu: Starting from "The Heavenly Bodyguard"

Chapter 133 Is this considered a honey trap?

Shen Mo felt that if he hadn't been so cunning and hadn't led Batman to kowtow at the monument, there probably wouldn't have been any publicity at all.

Although we can't say anything too directly now, there's still a hint of profound meaning in what we're saying.

The overall atmosphere was that I wouldn't say anything, but I would go and buy tickets to see it.

Having confirmed that the box office wouldn't be too bad, Shen Mo returned to the courtyard of Wula Grassland to recuperate and relax, essentially taking a nap.

Listening to the morning bells and evening drums of the old palace, Shen Mo took a bite of the chilled watermelon he had just pulled from the well, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Nolan had a scraggly beard, listless eyes, and was wrapped in a thick blanket despite the sweltering summer heat.

Shen Danu pursed his lips, feeling that this old guy was just pretending to be pitiful.

Damn, it's just a little bit of sweet water. Look at those actors, they've already started working normally.

Nolan is still here in postpartum confinement, and she's starving in the middle of summer.

Liu Qianqian's two dogs, who appeared in "John Wick," were fed watermelon rinds by Shen Daniu for three consecutive days, which caused them to get diarrhea.

The dogs wobbled around the yard, constantly complaining to people about the cruelty of that damned Shen Daniu.

Shen Mo held the watermelon rind and bared his teeth threateningly, trying to get the dog to continue eating the rind in his hand.

With a tender rub, Tianxian Baobao gently rubbed the dog's belly, which had already deflated, and glared angrily at Shen Daniu'er.

"Don't feed them watermelon rinds!"

"If they don't eat it, where do we throw the watermelon rind?"

"swallow!"

This woman calls for outside help after saying just a few words. Shen Mo quickly stopped Tianxian Baobao and threw the watermelon rind away with a wave of his hand.

"Alright, stop disturbing Yanzi's afternoon nap, she's about to get angry."

After saying that, seeing that there was still soup on his hands, he wiped them on Nolan's blanket.

When Tianxian Baby saw the blanket on Nolan's body, which was so dirty that its original color was no longer visible, her throat suddenly felt a surge of heat rising from her lower abdomen.

The young girl, who had some training, immediately formed a hand seal and dismounted.

With a resolute expression and rolling her eyes, she took a series of quick steps and ran to the bathroom as fast as she could, where she suddenly vomited.

Nolan's face twitched; damn it, he was almost at his breaking point.

However, Shen Daniu'er remained tight-lipped. Considering the suffering he had endured over the past week, the sunk cost of retreating now was far too high.

That bastard Shen Daniu is a devil! Not only is he making outrageous demands, but he also wants to exchange the script for a share of the global box office.

They even wanted to take away the two main characters, the dream thief and the dream architect.

Nolan's global box office performance is not average, but he cast two Chinese actors as the male and female leads, and the traveler's character is from Hong Kong.

This has become more than just a Chinese film.

Nolan is not opposed to using Chinese actors, and he doesn't care whether the film tells a Chinese story or not.

However, he has to consider box office revenue, specifically global box office revenue.

It wouldn't matter if the male lead was Shen Mo; his current box office appeal is barely enough.

However, the crucial role of the Dream Builder also needs to be given to that little girl named Liu Yifei. Even if Nolan agrees, the investors are unlikely to provide enough budget.

Without a budget, what's the point of making a movie that relies on visual spectacle?

"Is this the female lead you chose for Inception?"

Seeing that Old Deng questioned his choice, Shen Danu replied with a grin: "You're choosing the female lead, not the pilot."

"You know what I mean."

"This is the bottom line. Otherwise, I'll make the movie myself."

"China cannot afford the budget."

Shen Daniu pulled out Nolan's blanket and threw it directly to the two shivering dogs.

The baby girl, who had just vomited, saw her dog surrounded by the greasy blanket and remembered the dog's miserable state over the past few days.

The pathetic guy threw up again.

Nolan blinked and said earnestly, "Shen, even if she's pregnant with your child, don't act impulsively for the sake of love."

"We are completely innocent."

"Ha—hypocritical bastard."

Shen Daniu's face turned bright red. Which bastard had spread the news that he had climbed over the wall in the middle of the night?

Besides, although the two of them are not innocent, they haven't really gone that far.

Um--

I was a little tipsy after coming back from the monument.

The little girl's flirting wasn't timed well; he couldn't resist and climbed over the wall.

Those who were going to snore have already started snoring.

When it came to the final step, Aunt Liu knocked on the door.

It would be unfair to say what I did; both of us are innocent.

To say that I did nothing would indeed be a bit of a betrayal of my conscience.

Seeing that Shen Mo was somewhat embarrassed and angry, Nolan could only sincerely say, "Shen, I can promise you the male lead role now."

"With your current fame, as long as you play the male lead in 'Inception,' you will become a top international star."

"That young girl isn't famous enough, and the male and female leads are both Chinese, so the investors won't give her enough budget."

Shen Mo knew that Nolan was telling the truth.

Although the Joker brought him great fame, he was ultimately a villain.

If only I could star in another S-class blockbuster now and it would be a box office hit.

Gain global exposure, both in terms of commercial value and brand awareness.

I've basically squeezed myself into the top tier.

The quality of "Inception" needs no introduction. Although its box office performance was not as good as "The Dark Knight", it was still critically acclaimed and commercially successful, making it a perfect choice for Shen Mo to be crowned.

By then, among domestic male celebrities, I should be far ahead, and the only one who can rival my popularity is Jackie Chan.

The rest of the celebrities don't even dare to get involved in publicity stunts or press releases.

In the future, if Wula Cao undertakes any projects, as long as Shen Mo is confirmed to be involved, investors will dare to set no upper limit on the budget.

Because of Shenmo's films, the box office market is not just domestic, but global.

Shen Danu'er couldn't possibly resist such temptation.

But—but—

Aunt Liu cornered him inside the house.

For some reason, Old A8's IQ suddenly spiked to 280, and he immediately told Shen Daniu'er.

Either get married now, or give the lead role in his next S-class production to Tianxian Baobao.

If Shen Mo can fulfill either of his two conditions, she'll change the girl's nationality back to normal and won't care about anything else afterward.

They're just going to ignore everything? Isn't this a honey trap?!

If I hesitate for even a second, it would be disrespectful to the mount I've raised for so many years.

After pursing his lips, Shen Daniu said firmly, "I can give up my role, but the female lead must be given to Liu Yifei—"

—”

A piercing shout interrupted Shen Mo and Nolan's bargaining.

"Which son of a bitch is throwing watermelon rinds everywhere? Don't move! My back is hurting!"
