Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 107: Martial arts? Ancient costumes? In fact, it is the wealth left to us by our ancestors!

"I helped, and you took advantage of me?"

"Ms. Yu Feihong, if that's how you understand it, then there's nothing I can do."

"What's your attitude? Still playing innocent?"

"I'm not pretending to be innocent. I'm actually thanking you. Some films shouldn't have won the award. You helped me in a fair and appropriate way. But the award is there. It was a battle among many people. Everyone used some tricks. In the end, I won."

"You, you actually think it's natural?"

"Isn't it as it should be?"

Yu Feihong really didn't expect that the more they talked, the angrier she seemed to get.

The key point is that this guy Ma Xun has a nonchalant look on his face, as if to say, you can't do anything to me.

In fact...it seems that there is really no way.

If you think about it carefully, what this guy said makes a lot of sense.

But I was angry, so I couldn't help but say something.

"Ma Xun, what if I say that I regret helping you now?"

This was indeed a powerful statement, but Ma Xun just laughed it off.

"No, do you really think that you are helping me this time?"

"what?"

At this moment, Yu Feihong felt that she might have met the most shameless person in the world.

What did you say before? Now you, Ma Xun, are not admitting it?

But the next second, Yu Feihong felt ashamed of her thoughts.

Ma Xun's face straightened and he said, "Ms. Yu Feihong, have you forgotten? Our country is currently in the early stages of reform and opening up. What will we encounter after the reform and opening up?
Don't you forget the classic window theory?

No matter what is outside, we have to open the windows. When the windows are opened, we can breathe in fresh air, but at the same time, flies and mosquitoes will also come in.

But, you can't close the windows just because there are flies and mosquitoes.

And Miss Yu, what did you do before?
It's just slapping flies and mosquitoes to death.

So, what you're doing is helping me?
wrong!
You are helping our country and all of our citizens by keeping them safe from flies and mosquitoes."

Listen, this enlightenment!

It would be a lie for Yu Feihong to say that she was not ashamed, but when these words came out of Ma Xun's mouth, she really was... helpless. The man in front of her was so helpless.

The point is, he actually makes a lot of sense.

Yu Feihong had no way to refute it.

But, there can be a counterattack.

"Stop flattering me!"

But this counterattack is not painful at all.

As soon as Ma Xun heard it, he knew that this beautiful woman with a strong background in front of him had been fooled by him and was half lame.

That’s enough, don’t fool around too much.

After all, they helped me.

"Let's not talk about the hat, let's talk about 'The Flying Dagger of Xiao Li'. They are still filming 'Storm and Cloud' in Hengdian, so we have to wait a little longer before we can start filming this show.

During this period of time, you can go to Beijing Sport University and prepare for the action scenes with Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yuan.

As for teaching, I will definitely be very tired during this period of time."

There is nothing wrong with Ma Xun's arrangement.

"Feng Yun" is being filmed at the Qin Palace. Hao Ling and the others have gone there to film.

But this is a martial arts drama, so we have to put some effort into the action scenes.

Of course, things have changed now.

Even though Yuanyuan got lucky this time, she still won the Best Actress award.

Also, this award is a 'popularity' type award.

Honestly, if you look at this award carefully, it is well deserved for Yuanyuan to win it.

The person who left the deepest impression on people in the movie "Love Spicy Hot Pot" was her. Even many years later, people still talk about her when they talk about this movie.

I have no recollection of Xu Jinglei, Xu Fan, or the stories behind them.

I have an impression of the garden inside.

Ma Xun dares to say that more than 9% of people are definitely like this, right?

Many people even think that she is the heroine of this movie.

This shows that Yuanyuan is really popular.

In this case, we have to make some adjustments.

Hao Ling went to film "Feng Yun".

Yuanyuan is in "The Flying Dagger of Xiao Li", so she plays Sun Xiaohong.

This character is the heroine in the second half of the book.

In the original TV series, Sun Xiaohong was played by Jia Jingwen.

If the situation changed now, wouldn’t that mean that Zhou Zhiruo finally won over Zhao Min?
Don't think about these details.

This arrangement is actually very reasonable.

Bingbing still plays the maid of Jinghong Fairy, and she is currently in the novice leveling stage.

Playing a role like this is very Ganges-like.

But Yu Feihong posed another difficult problem to Ma Xun.

"What I actually want to ask you is, how long do you think this martial arts trend will be popular in our continent?"

"Your question... is a bit strange. What are you going to do?"

Ma Xun obviously heard something.

Yu Feihong didn't hide anything, or rather, she just liked to be straightforward.

"It's very simple. I plan to leave Beijing Film Academy. Being a teacher is not a job I like. It was just a temporary solution at the beginning. However, how many roles can I take in the future? How long can I act in martial arts dramas?"

Her idea is really mature.

Ma Xun nodded after hearing this, but he immediately asked back, "Leaving the system actually has nothing to do with whether martial arts is popular or not, right?"

There is something meaningful in this statement.

Yu Feihong had no choice but to smile helplessly, "Yes, I didn't want to stay here a long time ago. I don't know if you will laugh at me, but my dream is to be a film director and make the movies I like."

After she said that, Ma Xun of course understood what movie it was.

To be honest, the film was actually quite good and the story was quite interesting.

Especially since there's a ghost inside.

Most people can't do this.

But the compensation was really huge.

But Ma Xun also knew very well that with Yu Feihong's character, once she made up her mind, ten cows could not pull her back.

Let’s talk about martial arts.

“Let me be honest with you, I don’t know how long martial arts will be popular, and I understand why you ask me that.

Because in Hong Kong and Taiwan, martial arts movies are no longer popular.

But we still have to do it.

In other words, it is not just a martial arts story.

We should expand the concept and make it a costume drama.

Martial arts is a type of costume drama, but this type is very special.

It’s so special that only China can do it in the world.

Well, after reaching this height, you will understand.

What should we do with our cultural market after the reform and opening up?
Are we learning from Europe and America in all aspects? Are we completely abandoning our own culture?
No!Absolutely not!
Personally, I think that we should learn from them, as they are indeed advanced now.

But what we should learn is the technology and techniques, and see how others shoot.

Then, we film our own Chinese things, our own culture.

From the perspective of film and television, costume dramas are a very solid position in our Chinese culture.

Our lovely ancestor.

They were really good to us and left us such a rich legacy.

We couldn’t finish taking pictures!
And martial arts is a very, very good entry point.

Other countries can’t make it, let alone imitate it!
Ms. Yu, I can tell you clearly that I have no idea how long martial arts novels will be popular.

But I can also tell you clearly.

If we promote martial arts dramas now, then we can also promote costume dramas as well!

In other words, when we open the windows to let in fresh air from outside, European and American culture will also invade in a big way.

If we regard them as enemies, then this enemy is indeed extremely powerful.

Hollywood movies and TV series are overwhelming all over the world and they can easily destroy local culture.

Not to mention those countries that are originally culturally poor.

Let’s take a look at France, the birthplace of film. But look at how many films France has made of its own now?
The best French directors and actors are flocking to Hollywood.

And what about us, can we win?

I'm still not sure I can win.

But even if we take a step back, we have lost this cultural war.

We were totally defeated!
but!

We can preserve the last vestiges of our Chinese culture through costume dramas!
One day in the future, martial arts movies may no longer be popular and no one may watch them.

But our Chinese costume dramas will definitely still exist, and Chinese culture will definitely continue!"

It was such a long speech that Ma Xun himself was very surprised that he actually said so much.

He could swear to God that when he opened his mouth to speak the first sentence, he really didn't expect to say so much.

He even felt a little regretful. Why did I say all this?

I should have fooled Yu Feihong, but just now... Yes, Ma Xun didn't fool her, these were what he thought in his heart.

Maybe he said it in the hope that his thoughts could reach the ears of the emperor through Yu Feihong.

As for whether it will succeed or not, who knows.

Ma Xun was thinking about how to explain to Yu Feihong in front of him that he had said too much.

Yu Feihong lifted her hair and said, "Don't call me Miss Yu all the time, as if we don't know each other. Just call me Sister."

Ah this...Ma Xun laughed.

What he said did not relate to Ma Xun's previous long speech.

But Ma Xun was very clear that Yu Feihong must have listened to him.

That's good.

"If I want to call you sister, then Sister Hong is too simple. Sister Yu doesn't sound good either, as it sounds like a colleague. So what do you think is better?"

This guy is still in the mood to make a joke.

Yu Feihong was already quite excited by what was said just now, and now this Ma Xun...

"You! Call me whatever you want! I won't say any more to you. I'm going to Beijing Sport University!"

He stomped his feet and left.

Really angry?

Of course not!
Ma Xun is a very confident person.

"Then call me Sister Feihong."

"I told you, it's up to you!"

Yu Feihong was indeed not angry, and she thought that what she said before was very good.

But this Ma Xun... is definitely not a good person.

……

Good people and bad people.

Ma Xun didn't care at all.

He just cared about whether his words could reach the ears of God.

As for the current situation.

He has created the atmosphere of this great era of martial arts.

"Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" was released on almost all local channels at the same time.

It was a huge success afterwards.

This is a great start!
Moreover, Ma Xun is planning to invest heavily in film and television dramas in this area in the future.

It's not just him. The success of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" naturally attracted a lot of capital into this field.

So, what is most needed right now?
The policies are given by the higher-ups!

As for whether it can succeed.

Ma Xun himself didn't know.

It all depends on people.

Of course, he couldn't just wait like this.

The project of "The Flying Dagger of Xiao Li" is still in preparation and according to plan.

Everyone should practice well at Beijing Sport University first.

After practicing well, come out to film.

Moreover, there are some specific roles that definitely need to be arranged by Sister Qing.

Ma Xun originally planned to study the script further with teacher Chen Wengui.

Unexpectedly, Director Ouyang called.

"Mr. Ma, the play 'Return of the Pearl' is about to be released. You have many tricks up your sleeve. Can you come and help me?"

"Of course there's no problem."

Since the station director said so, it was difficult for Ma Xun to refuse.

I just flew to Changsha.

Those who just get off the plane but don't want to be picked up are very special.

"Mr. Ma, long time no see."

"Oh, Ms. He, it's been a long time indeed."

It turned out to be He Xiuqiong.

The last time the two met was on the set of the Mountain Resort.

Ma Xun still remembers some of He Xiuqiong's subtle body movements.

This artistic wife hides her flirtatious side very well.

And now...

"Mr. Ma, I see you again this time. Your fame is growing."

"Is there? I don't think so."

"This reputation refers to our circle."

"Oh, what did they say about me? Did they scold me so much that I got sores on my head and pus on my feet?"

"Haha... no way. They all say that you are an extremely powerful person, with many means and decisiveness. Anyone who can get in touch with you will be able to soar to the sky."

There is definitely something behind He Xiuqiong's words.

Ma Xun could only laugh, "I'm not that capable, those guys are just talking nonsense."

It was an inadvertent small rejection.

But He Xiuqiong showed a look of disbelief, "Mr. Ma, we are so familiar with each other, you should stop pretending."

That’s direct enough.

Ma Xun had no choice but to continue, "Let's wait until "Return of the Pearl" is broadcast and see how it performs."

He also has something else to say.

He Xiuqiong could only nod in agreement.

However, when the two got in the car, they had an unintentional little contact.

This artistic wife has a smile on her face and seems generous.

In fact, the sexy spirit is fully displayed.

Ma Xun had no choice but to be serious.

Even if I want to do...something.

It can't be now, your husband is driving.

……

"Return of the Condor Heroes" is about to be broadcast.

There is always some activity to do.

Ye Quanzhen and Bingbing also asked for leave from the "Feng Yun" crew.

Once they got to the stage, they immediately changed into their costumes.

Transform into Ziwei and Jinsuo.

The event was just average, and the drama "My Fair Princess" was aired immediately after the event.

These are all Ma Xun’s ideas.

The solution he gave to President Ouyang was:

Sufficient groundwork has been laid before, there has been a draft, and some other warm-up.

So, why not just broadcast it directly?

The simpler the relevant activities, the better.

There is an advantage to this.

If it is a great and powerful drama.

Then after the broadcast, the data will definitely be good.

And when that time comes, we can do another wave of marketing.

Just make a big fuss about the topic of 'airborne broadcast'.

In fact, this was also the marketing method used by many dramas later.

Of course, the prerequisite is that we have enough confidence in our play and that the play is indeed excellent.

Otherwise there is no point in frying.

Therefore, Ye Quanzhen and Bingbing returned quickly and hurriedly this time.

Wait until the activity is finished.

It was already late at night and Ye Quan was really tired, so he took a nap in a daze.

But when she opened her eyes again...

"Ah You……"

"I let you be a hawk, but I didn't let you act on your own! If I don't punish you, humph!"

Ye Quanzhen really saw the person he had been thinking about day and night.

But this punishment...

"Please punish me, Your Majesty."

She felt that the prince would not be so cruel.

But unexpectedly, Bingbing came out.

The pretty face was cold, but in her hand she held... an embroidery needle?

This……

Ye Quanzhen was really scared.
