Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 127 Importing Movies to Hong Kong! Visiting the Night Market with Yuanyuan

"Your Xiantao quote is too high. If you want to cooperate, you must lower the price."

Although it was irrelevant, Ma Xun was very direct in his next move.

This meeting will be at the airport, so we have to save time.

Chung Chuhong didn't expect that the man in front of her would be so bold.

"Mr. Ma, you must know that our Xiantao's technology is in an absolute leading position in Hong Kong, or to expand it to a wider range, in China as a whole, in terms of computer special effects!"

This is indeed a bit of an exaggeration.

But, this is the situation at the moment, and Chung Chuhong is not exaggerating.

Ma Xun was naturally aware of this fact, but he was good at finding the opponent's weaknesses.

"Let me guess. Sister Hong, you must have convinced your husband this time, or in other words, you begged for the opportunity to represent Xian Tao, right?
The reason you did this was probably to help Zou Chongheng and help her revive Jiahe, right?"

Although it is a guess, although it is a question.

But Ma Xun used an affirmative tone, and then look at his expression.

Chung Chuhong never expected that the guy in front of her had seen through her.

"You, how did you guess that!"

"What did you say when you were in Shunfeng before? Have you forgotten those words?"

Oh yes...Cherry Chung said it herself, she has nothing to do with Xiantao Company.

Now that she suddenly appears again, it’s easy to guess her motives.

Ma Xun then asked casually.

"Mrs. Zhu, have you ever thought about why the Zhu family agreed to let you represent them this time?"

This question is really too serious.

Cherie Chung had never thought about this question before.

Because it was particularly easy for her to obtain this "representation right".

I talked to my husband Zhu Jiading and expressed a little bit that I really wanted to be the negotiation representative.

Then it worked.

In Chung Chuhong's view, this is her daily life with her husband Zhu Jiading.

That's how it is between them.

Tell your husband what you think and he will agree.

But this time...if Ma Xun hadn't asked this question, Chung Chuhong really wouldn't have noticed the special thing about this time.

When Ma Xun saw the change in Chung Chuhong's expression, he knew that he was absolutely right.

However, Ma Xun also knew that Zhu Jiading was too harsh on Chung Chuhong.

Zhu Jiading is truly a phenomenal bootlicker and is completely obedient to Cherie Chung.

This is known to all Hong Kong people!
But, it's different now.

This is business, and it’s Xian Tao’s business.

After all, Xiantao is Zhu Jiading's brother.

Moreover, this is a business worth tens of millions!
Ma Xun simply attacked with a knife.

"I'll tell you the answer. Xin Tao is a technology-based company. Regarding the recent Tseung Kwan O land dispute, whether it's Golden Harvest or TVB's Cinema City Seven Devils, they are all Xin Tao's clients.

Of course, we don’t want to offend either side.

So, Xian Tao himself stood on TVB's side, and you came to help Golden Harvest."

"So, I'm just a puppet being used?!"

When she realized this, Chung Chuhong's face was full of anger.

Ma Xun helped out and said, "He's not completely a puppet. If you can negotiate successfully, that would be great."

This "what if" is very spiritual.

Zhong Chuhong thought for a moment and said to Ma Xun, "Are you willing to give me a chance to make it happen?"

Now she finally looks like a business person.

Ma Xun smiled, "That depends on your performance, for example, that day..."

He now looks just like the lecherous local tyrant in Shunfeng.

Zhong Chuhong was so angry, but she also felt that Ma Xun was not just a simple lustful man.

She became much more sober.

"Mr. Ma, I think you are willing to talk to me."

These words made Ma Xun raise his eyebrows.

Compared to her previous time at Shun Feng, Cherie Chung has actually grown to a certain extent.

This Hong Kong Marilyn Monroe has been spoiled beyond recognition by her husband.

The fact that she could now discover that Ma Xun 'wanted to talk' meant that she... had taken the bait.

"Okay, I'll tell you my plan.

First of all, your Xiantao’s quotation is indeed too high.

Yes, you are indeed a leader in China, but your prices are so high that I might as well look abroad.

Computer special effects are not that mysterious at all. Many studios are newly established or set up for projects.

Secondly, since you also want to help your friend, I will give you this opportunity.

Golden Harvest’s failure to acquire the land in Tseung Kwan O was a serious blow to its vitality.

But Golden Harvest still has cinema chains after all.

I can help you, Zou Chongheng, introduce some mainland or overseas movies.

I know you will say, isn't that a Hollywood blockbuster?
Hollywood blockbusters are great, but they may not be suitable for Hong Kong movie fans.

We can do an experiment first. I will introduce a movie to Golden Harvest and see how much box office revenue it can get.

You should know that the filming of the TV series "Feng Yun" will start at least half a year later.

It’s better to do experiments during this time.

If it is successful, then you Xiantao will do the special effects for us.

As for the payment... I'll settle it with you after "Wind and Cloud" airs, how about that?"

It’s a good plan, but it’s a pity that it only benefits Ma Xun.

Zhong Chuhong's anger flared up again, and she angrily said, "Marry later? I see you clearly don't want to give it to me!"

It seemed like she had already seen through the fact that Ma Xun just wanted to buy it for free.

But, Ma Xun smiled and said: "The advance payment will definitely be given, and besides, don't you want to know what kind of movies I can bring to Golden Harvest?

If it succeeds, Zou Chongheng will definitely be very happy."

"You...don't think I don't know anything!" Zhong Chuhong was still very angry, but also very curious, "What kind of film is this experiment?"

In fact, anyone who has done engineering work can understand one thing.

The final payment is difficult to collect.

Let me put it this way, in most cases, the down payment is the entire project price.

There are many reasons for not paying the balance.

The most common reasons:
Acceptance failed!
If the drama "Feng Yun" is not well broadcast,

Ma Xun just wants to say one thing: your special effects are too poor! It affects the ratings!

It will be difficult to pay Xiantao's final payment.

Chung Chuhong understood this routine, and it was obvious that she was not giving it away for free.

But, I'm curious about what movie it is...

Ma Xun said simply, "The Ring."

"what?"

Zhong Chuhong was shocked. The key point was that she thought Ma Xun was stupid.

“This movie has not been released in Hong Kong, but the video has been available for a long time!”

Ma Xun smiled after hearing this and said, "It can't be helped. I know someone at Toho, so I can easily get this movie.

Right, why don’t we make a bet?

If The Ring is successful, it means our model will be successful.

So……"

Before Ma Xun could finish, Chung Chuhong interrupted him and said, "Okay! Let's bet! If this movie is successful, we Xiantao will work for you for free!"

The woman was obviously furious.

Ma Xun smiled and said, "It's impossible for it to be free. We are all adults. Anyway, we can just negotiate a reasonable price when the time comes."

It's good that he said that.

Chung Chuhong's complexion improved slightly.

In fact, when Ma Xun was studying directing, he studied the history of Hong Kong films, and "The Ring" was a very strange case.

Now take advantage of it and set a trap for Cherie Chung.

Isn't that great?

Moreover, this movie will be released in Hong Kong sooner or later.

I happen to have connections now, so I can use the name of helping Jiahe.

Why shouldn't I be the one to make the most of this benefit?
Ma Xun stretched out his hand, and Chung Chuhong clapped it directly as a high-five.

But at this moment...

"Ah? You are Ms. Zhong? You..."

"how did you guys meet?"

Unexpectedly, I ran into an acquaintance at the airport.

Yu Feihong and Gao Yuanyuan.

The appearance of these two people was really surprising.

However, Chung Chuhong didn't know either of them, so Ma Xun had to give them a brief introduction.

After getting to know each other, Cherie Chung didn't plan to stay any longer.

He said a few words and left.

So, only Ma Xun, Yu Feihong and Yuanyuan were left.

"What are you talking about?"

It is obvious that Yuanyuan also wants to know about Yu Feihong's question.

Ma Xun could only laugh, "Before, I always imported Hong Kong films from Hong Kong to our mainland. Now I plan to do the opposite and import excellent films from our mainland to Hong Kong."

His words immediately made Yu Feihong's eyes light up.

"real or fake?"

"Of course, but for now I plan to give them a Japanese movie."

"Why is this... a Japanese movie?"

"A horror movie, just an experiment."

Ma Xun really didn't lie.

If "The Ring" is successful.

That will gain Golden Harvest's trust.

Then we can export excellent mainland films to Hong Kong. This way everything will be possible.

Unfortunately, Yu Feihong looked unconvinced, but she couldn't say much.

She didn't understand the current situation.

Ma Xun seized the opportunity and asked:
"Where are you two going, Master and Disciple?"

Yuanyuan spoke up at this time, "You don't know, do you? Sister Hong told us that the play "Little Li Flying Dagger" may be the opening play of Hunan TV Station 2 in the new year.

I'll fly over with Teacher Yu.

If the deal is done, we can just follow the activities.”

Ma Xun couldn't help but be surprised.

I thought to myself: Sister Qing is very proactive.

That’s right, she has now been promoted to Director Chen, and Director Ouyang will definitely give her more face.

However, we haven’t discussed anything about the advertising agency yet.

Just as I was thinking about it, Yu Feihong asked, "Are you going to Changsha too?"

Ma Xun had no choice but to nod.

Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Are we on the same flight?"

Huh? Is that such a coincidence?
You know what, it really is such a coincidence.

……

Speechless all the way.

After landing in Changsha.

Sister Hong came to pick us up at the airport.

"Why did you come together?"

See Ma Xun, Yu Feihong and Yuan Yuan together.

Sister Hong’s smile is weird.

In fact, in order to avoid any gossip.

Ma Xun and the master and disciple did not sit together at all.

Even far away.

But right now, there is no need to hide anything in front of Sister Qing.

"It was really a coincidence."

"Indeed."

"Hey, you guys, what are you explaining?"

Oh my goodness, it seems like Sister Qing’s misunderstanding has deepened.

But this misunderstanding is very interesting.

Because among these three beauties, only Yu Feihong is very special.

But Sister Hong and Yuanyuan... are a little weird.

It feels like a Shura field.

Ma Xun was sure that this must be an illusion.

He really didn't move his emotions, he just moved his waist.

"Let's go to the hotel first." Gao Yuanyuan suggested.

Okay, let’s settle down first.

In fact, the one who felt the strangest was Yu Feihong.

But for a moment, she didn't know what was strange.

……

"How far have you come?"

"I understand what you mean, but I still don't intend to reveal my identity."

"Yes, I am your Mabond now."

"So, the person I contacted early in the morning was Bai Xiaohang."

"That's great, but please note that I cannot appear in the same place with him and the "Little Li Flying Dagger" team."

"I understand. But if it were you, I'd just reveal your identity."

"You don't understand. Sometimes having multiple vests can have unexpected benefits."

After checking into the hotel, Ma Xun, Sister Qing, Yu Feihong, Yuanyuan and others did not live on the same floor.

That should do the trick.

After all, Ma Xun's identity is still quite mysterious.

Even if the paparazzi were looking for news, they would most likely not notice him.

But you still have to be careful.

Sister Hong mentioned another thing, "But Bai Xiaohang said that he met a special person this time."

"who?"

"Li Ming, do you know?"

"A galloping pony?"

"Yes."

"That's it..."

"What's wrong? You, Ma Bangde, have to transform into Ma Xun?"

Sister Hong's words were provocative.

But Ma Xun didn't care and instead hugged her.

"I have my own way of dealing with him."

But at this time, Sister Qing struggled out.

Then I planned to leave.

This surprised Ma Xun. "Director Chen, don't you want to..."

Although you look very dignified on the outside, I know very well how slutty you are inside.

But then I heard Sister Hong say with a smile: "You should save some energy."

What does it mean?
Although Li Ming is a formidable opponent, I'm not that bad...

After Sister Qing left, Ma Xun's phone rang.

"Ma Bangde, are you free?"

"Yuanyuan? What do you mean?"

"I heard that Changsha's night market is very famous, but I've never been there before."

"This……"

"Why? Are you scared?"

Ma Xun's hesitation is normal. Although Yuanyuan is not a big star yet, many people know her.

And if I were to go shopping with her at the night market and be photographed by the paparazzi...

But when I think about it, I haven’t been with Yuanyuan for a while.

Before, Hao Ling always felt that I was neglecting her.

It’s just a night market.

Just go shopping!
……

The night market today is different from the one that came later.

After about a dozen years, night markets tend to become homogenized.

It seemed like no matter which night market we visited, we would see those same old actors.

At present, sanitary conditions are indeed not as good as they were later.

But it has a strong breath of life.

"Stinky tofu!"

"This one……"

"You're not afraid anymore, are you?"

"Why should I be afraid? You are just a little girl, why would you eat this?"

"Haha... I even drink soy milk like water, why would I be afraid of this!"

"OK then."

As for Changsha Night Market, stinky tofu is a must-try.

Features among features.

But Ma Xun felt it was a little strange. This strange... Yuanyuan was strangely cute.

It’s true.

In 1998, Yuanyuan was still a high school student.

Being with her, Ma Xun even felt like he was an old man.

Bah! Bah! Bah!

I'm not old at all! I'm just a few years older at most.

Perfect match!

Ah, wait, what am I thinking.

Ma Xun quickly returned to his iron-hearted state.

But he didn't know that this time they were visiting the night market.

Yuanyuan got the opportunity from Sister Hong.

It would be nice to be alone with Ma Ge for a while...

Now, I am very happy.

It’s just this stinky tofu…

"Oh my god..." Yuanyuan couldn't hold it in anymore after eating a piece.

"Didn't you say that douzhi can be drunk as water?" Ma Xun laughed.

"Is it not okay for me to lie to you? Here you are..."

“This…if my mouth stinks after eating it, you…” Ma Xun pretended to kiss her.

"Don't come over here, don't!"

Yuanyuan ran away immediately, and Ma Xun of course chased her.

He chased, she ran.

She ran and he chased...

What is this about a man's heart as hard as iron? It seemed like Ma Xun had forgotten about it at this moment.

Happiness is over.

But they didn't expect that someone was also visiting the night market...
