Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 108: Quan Zhen and Bing Bing resolved their emotional knots, and the great success of "Return of the Pearl" has just begun!
Of course, you can't really pierce the body with a needle.

But this thing does have a strong deterrent effect.

In fact, it certainly wasn't really pierced during filming.

But the performance was absolutely lifelike.

The reason is very simple.

People just react like this sometimes.

Just let people take a look at the needle, then don't let them look at it during the injection, and change to another one.

It still feels like being pricked by a needle.

Early the next morning.

After waking up, it felt like a dream.

"Your Majesty, I..."

Ye Quanzhen was extremely shy when facing Ma Xun.

"I understand that you have some regrets in your heart, but I don't care about that very much."

"Ah... this... turns out you saw through it all along."

"But Bingbing is indeed a good girl, but you should not act so recklessly in the future."

"Your Majesty, you are so kind... mua~"

"Don't call me Your Highness anymore. Isn't this game exciting enough?"

"Your Majesty~...Okay, my Ma brother."

What Ma Xun and Ye Quanzhen said was a bit strange.

But in fact, the two of them, especially Ye Quanzhen, understood it completely.

She did have some regrets in her heart.

That is, Ye Quanzhen did not meet Ma Xun in the best years of his life.

If only they had met earlier, like in 1987.

She hadn't made her debut that year, but if she had met him.

Then I fell in love with him, and then...

Just give yourself to him.

Unfortunately, life is always full of regrets.

After seeing Bingbing, Ye Quanzhen felt that this girl might be able to make up for her regrets.

Because Bingbing is such a beautiful girl, and she is so innocent.

Of course, the key point is that Bingbing and Ma Xun know each other.

Well, it’s not just acquaintance.

Ye Quanzhen actually realized at that time that Bingbing was attracted to Ma Xun.

The look in the girl's eyes at that time might have deceived Bingbing's mother.

But Ye Quanzhen could never be fooled.

If Bingbing didn't mean that, Ye Quanzhen wouldn't have done that.

So, she did it.

And now...

"Bingbing, whether you are asleep or not, I apologize to you. It is all my fault. I just hope you don't hate me in the future."

This is a bit clever.

But Bingbing never opened her eyes.

It’s closed now too.

But has she really been sleeping all this time?

"Sister, it's already like this, why are you still saying these things?"

Bingbing has a pair of big eyes, which are watery when she opens them.

She said this, but in fact she no longer had any resentment in her heart.

Just last night.

Pushing the waist and stuff...it's really embarrassing.

Seeing her like this, Ye Quanzhen's expression changed into a smile, "I knew it! You little girl have been thinking about Brother Ma for a long time, right?"

"I didn't!" How could Bingbing admit this?

"You're still saying no? Look how red you are!"

"Blushing, yes, it's from sleeping."

Don't say it, you really don't say it.

The bickering between these two sisters is quite interesting.

Ma Xun didn't say anything and simply got up to solve the common human problems in the morning.

Give them some space to talk.

Ten minutes later.

Wow~
Accompanied by the sound of a toilet flushing.

Ma Xun then came out.

But I was surprised to find that breakfast was already prepared.

Ye Quanzhen and Bingbing are quite efficient.

"I didn't realize you two were good at cooking."

Ye Quanzhen chuckled.

Bingbing said directly, "It's just bread, milk, ham and so on. All you have to do is open the package."

Indeed.

Ma Xun saw it clearly and wanted to laugh.

But it’s nothing, just a cushion for now.

Just the two of them...

"Let's eat together. There aren't so many rules."

The atmosphere immediately became much better.

In fact, Ma Xun had said it before.

The game between the prince and Axue ends here.

So, is it possible that I am going to play games with Ziwei and Jinsuo next?

Or there is no game, just playing Ziwei Jinsuo...ahem, what are you talking about.

But some things need to be talked about.

"A lot has been going on lately, so let's start from the beginning. How's things going on with Fengyun?"

That’s right, Ye Quanzhen was originally an undercover agent arranged by Ma Xun.

Now is a good time to report the intelligence.

"There were no problems filming, but I heard something special."

"Tell me about it."

"It's just that Jiahe has some minor conflicts with Xiantao. The general meaning is that Xiantao's asking price is a bit too high, and Jiahe hopes they can lower it."

"This is very valuable information."

Ye Quanzhen does have something in this regard.

The special effects of the drama "Feng Yun" were basically done by Xian Tao.

In fact, there is no better choice at the moment.

Xiantao is almost a monopoly in Hong Kong.

Unless you go to Industrial Light & Magic in Hollywood.

However, Industrial Light & Magic's offer was higher.

30 seconds of special effects cost $100 million.

You have to understand that this quotation is for long-term implementation. Even in 20 years, they will still quote this price or even increase it.

The subsequent approach was to… raise prices and then offer discounts.

Don't doubt it, in fact, many companies negotiate business in this way, especially some advertising companies. Many advertising companies quote very high prices, and then wait for the person with decision-making power to negotiate, and then give a super big discount directly.

They will be sold at a 10% discount.

I won’t go into details about these.

The key point is that Xian Tao is really powerful at the moment.

Later works such as "Chinese Hero" and "Shushan" were all produced by them.

And now...

"Xian Tao and Long Wu have a good relationship?"

"Well, it's really good."

Ma Xun nodded after hearing this.

He basically understood the situation of "Feng Yun" completely.

The previous judgment was correct. The movie "Feng Yun" was produced by Golden Harvest, but now, Long Wu, Xian Tao and Ma Xun are alone.

The three families ate Jiahe together.

Moreover, it is obvious that Golden Harvest has no means of countermeasures.

This company was really strong in the past and was the main force during the golden age of Hong Kong films.

But now, the era of Golden Harvest is coming to an end.

In the near future, only Hong Kong cinemas will be left as the last struggle.

Ma Xun didn't want to care about the reasons for Jiahe's decline.

Something about the Hong Kong government not continuing to give them Diamond Hill as a base, and so on.

That has nothing to do with me.

What I, Ma Xun, should think about most right now is how to eat Jiahe better.

I stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel room.

The Xiangjiang River is surging.

Ma Xun even had the urge to have a cigar.

But there was only bread on hand.

Never mind, just have a bite.

The meaning is similar.

In fact, he was thinking...after a moment.

"What does Long Wu think of me?"

This question made Ye Quanzhen laugh.

"Brother Ma, you are now a real celebrity in their circle, a truly powerful figure, a person who can reach the heavens directly."

"Oh." Ma Xun felt really happy after hearing this.

But, it has to break down.

At this time, Ye Quanzhen pulled Bingbing over again, "Sister, you also say something."

"Me? What did I say?"

In fact, Bingbing only realized now that Ye Quan was actually an undercover agent arranged by Ma Xun.

She wasn't undercover before.

Ye Quanzhen smiled and said, "It's the things you heard on the set, oh, those Hong Kong people complained about."

"Oh, I see." Bingbing finally thought of what to say, "They always say Hong Kong movies are over, Hong Kong movies are over, they keep saying it.

Also, they keep bringing up the recent Hong Kong Film Awards incident, and every time they do, I get extremely depressed."

Academy Awards?
When Ma Xun heard this, he laughed immediately.

"That must be frustrating. This year's Academy Awards are so shabby. If you didn't know, you'd think the city was overrun by zombies."

After hearing this, Ye Quanzhen and Bingbing couldn't help laughing.

What Ma Xun said was not an exaggeration.

This year's Hong Kong Film Awards will be held on April 4th.

You know, this is an awards ceremony that is completely copied from the American Oscars.

The Oscars are always grand and magnificent, and are attended by many stars.

But this year's Academy Awards ceremony... is too shabby.

Let’s just say that the total cost was 50 Hong Kong dollars.

This is called Hong Kong. What can you do with 50 Hong Kong dollars?
Let’s not worry about any awards, but Jiang Wen won the Best Supporting Actor award for his role in “The Soong Sisters”.

It is obvious that this time it is all about dividing the cake.

Just like the old "Days of Being Wild".

This film was invested by the big shot Deng Guangrong, with a budget of over 4000 words and a total cost of over yuan.

As a result, the box office was only 900 million, which was a complete loss.

Fortunately, the boss did not chase after King of Sunglasses and Monk Sha.

But later, in order to give face to the boss, this movie won many awards at the Academy Awards.

At that time, many Hong Kong celebrities were present at the Academy Awards, and Long Wu stood up to pay tribute to the big boss.

That scene is very classic, and the general meaning is this.

Calm down, let this matter pass.

Or in other words, these bunch of lousy movie makers still have to listen to us, the boss?
Anyway, you can interpret it any way you want.

This time, "The Soong Dynasty" also suffered a complete loss.

Give him a prize.

It's a pity that the award ceremony was so shabby.

Comparatively speaking, it is almost the same period.

What Ma Xun saw at the Beijing University Student Film Festival was a thriving scene.

Comparison means that he can compare himself.

As for the Hong Kong filmmakers involved in "Storm and Cloud", they really have no morale now.

Despondent.

Fortunately, I can get paid for filming this movie.

But the more this happens, the more it highlights Ma Xun's strength!
Right, who was the one who played the Way of the Dragon before?

Who is behind this in Hong Kong? Several forces over there are still swearing at each other!
Criticizing TVB for engaging in a price war.

TVB scolded ATV for selling it cheaply.

Many old movie copyrights were also given away at low prices.

To be honest, after hearing the news, Ma Xun felt a little regretful.

If I had known this earlier, I should have lowered the price a bit!
I am a kind-hearted person and I am very generous when buying things.

So, Ye Quanzhen said with a smile: "I heard some big guys say that Mr. Ma Xunma is simply the savior of Hong Kong."

what?
Is this a disguised form of 'thank you'?
Ma Xun also smiled. He had finished eating the noodles, and he had also figured out how to eat Jiahe.

“You can tell Long Wu that I have already discussed ‘Feng Yun’ with Mr. Han Sanye from the Beijing Film Studio, and we will definitely run it well this time.

I am very confident about the box office.

And there is another key point next.

That is, if this movie is successful, what about the future?
I am very interested in exploring this IP further, that is, I plan to make a TV series.

But as for the copyright, it belongs to Golden Harvest after all, and it is in the hands of Ma Rongcheng.

If he hears this, he will know what to do.”

"I understand." Ye Quanzhen nodded.

But then…

"How do you spread this message? Do I need to teach you?"

"Of course I was with Brother Ma. After we fell in love, I secretly heard Brother Ma chatting on the phone with some big shots in Beijing."

"Not bad."

Ma Xunde admitted that Ye Quanzhen did have the talent to be a female spy.

Oh, in the movies, she always seems to play the role of someone who gathers intelligence.

At this time, Ye Quanzhen greeted Bingbing.

The two sisters squatted in front of Ma Xun.

The tongue is like a lotus.

hiss~
Ma Xun said this while he was still calm.

"This 'Return of the Pearl' will soon be a huge hit, and by then you sisters will definitely..."

Forget it, it’s better not to think about this.

……

Of course Ma Xun was not talking nonsense.

There is nothing wrong with his marketing strategy either.

After "Return of the Pearl" was broadcast.

It immediately outperformed all other programs on Hunan TV.

Go straight to the top!
And, it's within the scope of cable TV.

It became popular instantly!
Director Ouyang was shocked when he saw the ratings.

Good guy!
More than 30%!
"Mr. Ma, that's great! It seems like everything is just as you expected!"

Of course, Ma Xun doesn’t know the power of this play yet.

But, it's not enough now.

"Director Ouyang, the next step is to go to Beijing to broadcast... Just wait for my good news."

In fact, Ma Xun had already won this replay.

He said this for future considerations...
