Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 118 Director Chen vs. Director Chen! Ma Xun vs. Gong Li?

It was so hurried, really so hurried.

When a person devotes his whole heart to something, he forgets about time.

When the flood finally receded.

It's already September.

This victory belongs to all Chinese people.

The military and civilians are united as one, and the whole country is pulled together as one.

Laugh and see who can defeat you in the world!
Ma Xun and his men also kept their achievements and fame hidden.

In fact, running around and integrating resources during this period is very tiring.

I have complained about the hardship and tiredness.

But whenever we see news reports, we see our soldiers risking their lives to help with disaster relief.

Especially their young, determined faces covered in mud.

Then there is nothing to say.

Keep up the good work!
After returning to Beijing, the three of them said they needed to rest for a while.

There's nothing wrong with that.

But it is not so easy for Ma Xun to rest.

Han Sanping called, and people even planned to go to Ma Xun's house to talk.

This is not good, what if I bump into someone?

So Ma Xun had to go to the Beijing Film Studio first.

"This work was done very well, and the leader is very happy."

"Thank you very much. We just did what we should do."

"Next, there is another task."

"What exactly is it?"

"The Bayi Film Studio plans to make a movie about this flood relief effort to promote the spirit of the event."

"Well, that's a good thing."

"The script hasn't been written yet, Ma Xun, I know you have many ideas, do you have any good suggestions?"

Ma Xun understood as soon as he heard it.

This movie should be "The Storm Riders"!
I watched it on a school basis that year, and overall, the movie was very good.

Li Youbin, Wu Gang, as well as Pan Yueming and Huang Haibo.

By the way, the heroine is Ning Jing.

Now people want my advice...

Ma Xun actually thought of one.

"Leader, wait for me."

"no problem."

Han Sanping didn't have to wait long. Ma Xun just searched in his bag for a while.

There were some newspapers in the bag, which made Han Sanping feel a little strange.

But quickly, Ma Xun picked out one of the newspapers.

"Boss, I don't like to interfere with creative work, but this photo is so good. I hope the creative team will consider it if possible."

Han Sanping felt relieved when he heard Ma Xun's words, but when he saw the photo.

My heart was shocked!
The content of this photo is simple, yet very shocking!

It was a group of warriors who were using their bodies to block the flood!

Looking closely, they were doing the final work, that is, the final sealing, and the flood was no longer that big.

But the impact of this photo is really...

"good, very good!"

Han Sanping was originally just doing his routine work. After all, this was a task undertaken by the Bayi Film Studio.

But when he saw this photo, his blood boiled.

Ma Xun knew that Han Sanping was no ordinary guy.

It’s like there was a movie called “The Bombing” in the original time and space. This was the case where Cui Yongyuan exposed Bingbing’s high pay.

In fact, Xiao Cui's target is Feng Xiaogang and Han Sanping.

But these two people are extremely cunning.

They picked them very cleanly.

When dealing with people within the system, you must be extremely careful.

It is definitely not as simple as it seems.

Han Sanping is currently in a weak position, after all, China Film Group has not yet been officially listed.

It's fairly easy to do.

In other departments, there are even more factions.

For example, Sister Ni Ping later told a story herself.

She was assigned to read calls from all over the country during the Spring Festival Gala.

After I got on stage and saw the pile of papers...

It's just a blank piece of paper, with nothing on it!
Four minutes, all made up by her.

If it were anyone else, they would have been thrown into the pile right there.

There is no doubt that he was doing this on purpose.

Moreover, she didn't dare to speak out until many years later.

So, we do good things and meaningful things.

That's absolutely right.

But don't be stupid.

Ma Xun actually understood what Han Sanping meant when he introduced this project.

That is whether or not to join you private citizens in donating money and materials.

You have also made contributions.

However, Ma Xun did not give a direct answer.

Let me show you a newspaper.

The rest is up to you to figure out.

Ma Xun is really good at this.

Han Sanping was very happy at this moment, and at the end, he said something.

The country will not forget you.

That's all I have to say.

……

Return to your own little courtyard.

Xiaoran left him a note.

"'Return of the Condor Heroes 2' has started filming, I'm going to film, and I've arranged for someone to take care of the grape trellis..."

This girl is very well-behaved.

Ma Xun thought it was pretty good.

As for that grape trellis.

When I have nothing to do, I plant some flowers and plants.

Opposite the persimmon tree.

Wait until this shelf is covered with grape vines.

In the future, I will have a good place to escape the summer heat in my yard.

This shelf is quite sturdy.

Ma Xun couldn't help but move a chair over.

Sit down under this shelf.

I closed my eyes and imagined summer.

The scorching summer sun is blocked by the green leaves of the grapes.

A few lucky rays of light can shine through and hit the green grapes.

Crystal clear, like an emerald.

As for myself, I was drinking tea, reading a book, and having a bunch of grapes at hand.

But then I heard some sweet laughter.

Bong-hyun is swinging on the swing.

She was wearing a light veil and had a graceful figure.

I picked a grape and saw that Xianxian’s face was as rosy as a rose.

I couldn't help but think of Ximen Daguanren.

Suddenly, the phone rang, pulling Ma Xun back.

Answer the phone first.

"Ma Xun~ What are you doing?"

"Sister Hong, why are you calling?"

"You still ask me why I called?"

"Oh, the filming of 'The Flying Dagger of Xiao Li' has finished, right? I know about it, and I'll follow up later."

"What? You really forgot about me."

"What's wrong? Did I forget something?"

"Guess where I am now?"

"Where?"

"Tokyo! You really forgot!"

"Ah! Look how busy I am!"

Sister Hong's words "Tokyo" finally reminded Ma Xun.

It's time!

Our "That Man and That Dog" is about to officially compete with "The Emperor and the Assassin"!
Director Chen VS Director Chen, this drama is about to begin!

Although, the Tokyo Film Festival is held in October.

But the war is about to begin!

Sister Hong went to Tokyo first, but she certainly didn't go there to fight.

Toho has been doing pre-marketing for such a long time.

Now our film "That Mountain" is ready for release.

This is a good thing.

And Ma Xun must take action now.

"Wait for me in Tokyo!"

Just one sentence made Sister Qing very happy.

……

In a cafe in Beijing.

There were two people sitting opposite each other, one of them was looking at a document with a frown on his face.

"Mr. Ma, this... this..."

"What's wrong? Is it difficult?"

"No, no, no, I will definitely do it no matter how difficult it is. But, would Director Chen say that?"

"Haha...you're still young."

"Mr. Ma! I will do as you say!"

The one who nodded and bowed was Wang Changdian.

The show he is currently hosting has quite good ratings.

The operation of the entire team is also very stable.

But now, his boss gave him a very special task.

This mission...actually it's not the mission itself that's strange, but the details in it.

Of course, the person who issued the task was Ma Xun.

But what details did he come up with that made Wang Changdian feel strange?

The document in Wang Changdian's hand is actually not complicated.

It's an interview program.

There is nothing wrong with our Chinese entertainment reports conducting exclusive interviews.

And the person we invited is Director Chen, so there is no problem with that.

But the problem lies in the questions in this interview!
"Teacher Chen, are you confident of winning the Tokyo Film Festival this time?"

That's one of the problems.

And if he answers yes, or talks freely.

Then the next question was, "According to rumors, director Chen Hong's film 'That Mountain, That Man, That Dog,' which won the Golden Kirin Award at the Tokyo Film Festival last year, is now showing in Japan. Will your film also be shown in Japan?"

After this question, no matter how Director Chen answers, the next step is:
"Our production team has prepared champagne. Let us share your victory in advance!"

This… the previous answer is strange enough.

And is there champagne ready?
The key is, will Director Chen be fooled?

Wang Changdian felt that if he were a normal person, he should probably be humble.

After all, your film has not yet been officially shortlisted for the film festival and has not yet been officially released.

Moreover, Wang Changdian could certainly see that this was a trap.

Still a very obvious full set.

But Ma Xun smiled.

Wang Changdian had no choice but to say, "Mr. Ma, I shouldn't have doubted you! Please rest assured!"

"Okay, I believe you."

Looking at Wang Changdian's leaving back, Ma Xun still couldn't suppress the smile.

Actually it’s nothing.

It’s Wang Changdian. I still don’t quite understand Director Chen’s personality.

Ma Xun dared to bet that even Director Chen knew it was a trap.

With this guy's personality, he will definitely step in!
He has a mysterious confidence in his films.

Or maybe Director Chen would think that this is also a declaration of war.

Anyway, when the show airs...

Ma Xun was about to leave when he discovered that there was a woman sitting in Wang Changdian's seat.

Still a famous woman.

She was wearing a black strapless long dress with a small jacket over it.

He casually took off his coat and held the weapon in front of him.

International film queen, Gong Li!
"Hello, Miss Gong Li, long time no see."

"Mr. Ma, it's been a long time."

To be honest, Ma Xun was surprised.

He didn't expect to meet Gong Li here.

Of course, Ma Xun was not worried about whether Gong Li had overheard anything.

In fact, Ma Xun was very sure that even if Director Chen knew about this conspiracy, he might fall into this trap.

but……

"Mr. Ma, you are preparing to go to Tokyo, right?"

"Yes, it is."

“But I don’t quite understand.”

"What don't you understand?"

"The movie 'The Mountain Man and the Dog' is good, and I've seen it before, but it gives me a weird feeling."

"illusion?"

Ma Xun was really curious.

Gong Li smiled, but her next words surprised Ma Xun.

"My misconception is that this movie seems to be actively trying to compete with The Emperor and the Assassin!

Mr. Ma, do you think this is an illusion of mine, right?"

It's all an 'illusion', and you still ask me if I'm right?

Ma Xun secretly praised this international film queen in his heart. Gong Li is indeed a woman with something special.

So, how did Ma Xun answer?

Ma Xun said, "The Japanese copyright of the movie 'That Mountain' was bought by Toho. How they operate it is their business. I really can't control it."

deny!
Even if you get close to me and use your ultimate skill, I won’t admit it!
Sometimes, you really have to admire this guy's nerve.

After getting this answer, Gong Li smiled and said, "Mr. Ma has a point, but I don't care about the outcome of these two films..."

Ma Xun interrupted Gong Li at this time and said with a smile, "If you don't care, then it shouldn't be your 'illusion'."

This was a small counterattack. Gong Li was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It is indeed not an illusion."

Ma Xun then responded, "But I can tell you that this is actually your 'illusion'."

How strange!

Their conversation was difficult to understand.

Gong Li frowned after hearing this.

Ma Xun smiled and explained, "Illusion, that should be a wrong feeling, or you feel it wrong."

This is clearly stated!
Gong Li certainly understood, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face, although only for a moment.

"Does Mr. Ma think that a low-budget movie with a few million dollars can beat a historical blockbuster with a 70 million dollar budget?"

That’s right, that’s what Ma Xun meant.

He used the word 'illusion' very cleverly.

And at this moment, he nodded.

"They're all released in Japan, who knows what the tastes of movie fans there are."

This sentence seems light, but Ma Xun more than just admitted it.

"That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" is meant to compete with "The Emperor and the Assassin"!

Moreover, he is also saying:

It’s still unknown who will win or lose!
I am sure to win!
Gong Li was shocked when he heard this.

Even the acting skills of an international film queen cannot suppress her true expression.

But then she caught herself.

"You're crazy."

Ma Xun didn't mind at all after hearing this, he replied with something very interesting.

“Could you have imagined a few years ago that you could make a movie for 70 million?

Can you imagine building a palace to make a movie?

This is a crazy era, and everyone is crazy."

Gong Li laughed out loud after hearing this, and then said in agreement: "Mr. Ma, you are right."

There was even a gentle round of applause.

Ma Xun was also smiling, and he had a special feeling at this moment.

I feel like I’m acting opposite an international film queen!
Yes, this conversation between the two of them really seemed like acting.

Gong Li plays an international film queen named Gong Li.

Where is Ma Xun?
I am who I am! I am not pretending to be anyone!
But then, Gong Li said something that surprised Ma Xun.

"Since we are talking about madness, I would like to discuss with you something truly crazy.

If I married an internationally renowned director.

You call that crazy?"

what? !

Deja vu!

Ma Xun smiled and then threw a bomb at Gong Li.

"If we have IVF again, that would be truly crazy."

In an instant, Gong Li's eyes widened!
She knew she had lost to the man in front of her.

But at this moment, winning or losing is not important at all.

"How did you know?"

“There are actually no secrets in this world.”

Ma Xun suddenly stretched out his hand, as if to shake hands, but also as if not.

"Shall we make a bet?"

Gong Li finally smiled again, and then very straightforwardly high-fived Ma Xun.

"It's a bet."

My goodness, what are you betting on? What are the stakes? You didn’t tell me anything!

But, it seems that there is no need to say it.

It's just a bet on which of these two movies will win.

You can bet...

"What happens after you lose?"

"Who said I would definitely lose?"

When he said this, Gong Li had already stood up and left.

Ma Xun had no choice but to shake his head and smile bitterly.

But actually, he was acting.

Yes, and it was a very enjoyable performance.

It’s really cool to act opposite a top movie queen.

However, Ma Xun's mind flashed with the beautiful view of Gong Li's chest.

So big and so white...
