Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 134: Take a ride with CCTV! Meet Yan Danchen by chance

"My last name is Zhang, Mr. Ma, just call me Lao Zhang."

"Oh, Teacher Zhang, I remember now. My friends from CCTV always mentioned you to me. They all said that Teacher Zhang is very capable. That's it."

As he said that, Ma Xun gave Zhang Da Huzi a thumbs up.

When Zhang Da Huzi saw this, he was overjoyed.

Next, the two of them started to praise each other's business.

This time, Zhang Da Huzi came to find him, of course, he was following Sun Donghai's lead.

It’s just that he took the initiative to suggest that we talk alone first.

As for what to talk about, that is also very simple.

"At present, the audience prefers martial arts. In fact, martial arts has always had a strong mass base. However, there is a big problem..."

Having said that, Ma Xun of course understood.

"Mr. Jin Yong."

Just with this mention, Zhang Da Huzi immediately gave Ma Xun a thumbs up.

"Mr. Ma is really amazing. The problem now is that we in mainland China have not yet obtained the adaptation rights for Mr. Jin Yong's works."

This is actually the case.

Mr. Jin Yong is not the problem.

The question is how to obtain the adaptation rights for Mr. Jin Yong's works.

The first thing to understand is that the adaptation rights of a novel are not expensive.

Zhang Da Huzi represents CCTV. Although CCTV has always been very stingy when it comes to filming movies, it can definitely afford the cost of the adaptation rights.

But now Zhang Da Huzi came to find Ma Xun. Obviously, he himself knew it very well.

Money is not the key!

But it’s due to various historical reasons.

Ma Xun had gone over the specific history in his mind before, so there was no need to go into details.

It is obvious that Zhang Da Huzi has no confidence now. He is afraid of two things.

The first point is that he, Zhang Da Huzi, went to Hong Kong and talked to Mr. Jin Yong, but the deal failed.

This will destroy his image as a capable official of CCTV.

You know, this guy is currently the most capable middle-aged man in CCTV, starting from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to "Water Margin".

Zhang Da Huzi's ability to get things done is indeed well-known in CCTV.

The second point is that he went to negotiate, but not only did the deal fail, but Jin Yong also said some unpleasant things.

That big beard is about to be ruined.

The former is at most a lack of ability, but the latter means you have a responsibility.

You can still work at CCTV if you don’t have the ability, but you can’t if you have responsibilities.

But in the final analysis, the bearded man actually had no confidence. He had never had any contact with Jin Yong, so of course he didn't know what the old man was thinking now.

Who knows whether the thorn in Jin Yong's heart has disappeared or not.

If the old man keeps holding a grudge, the bearded man will definitely not end up well.

When Ma Xun understood this, he smiled.

"Teacher Zhang, how about this? I have some connections in Hong Kong, so I'll go over there first to help you get ahead of the situation, that is, to test Mr. Jin Yong's attitude. If he doesn't say anything and treats all the previous events as nothing, then I'll let you know.

When the time comes, CCTV will hold a signing ceremony, a grand one, so that the Hong Kong media can report it well.

what do you think? "

After hearing this, could Zhang Da Huzi still say anything bad?

"Of course!"

This guy actually had this purpose in looking for Ma Xun.

Now people have figured it out themselves, isn’t that great?

But Ma Xun hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Teacher Zhang, if I just go there, my identity will be quite embarrassing. You said I am not from CCTV, how can I gain people's trust?"

This is very good for gaining people's trust.

Zhang Da Huzi also thought this was the truth and frowned, "But we can't assign you a position. This matter..."

Ma Xun laughed again, "It's not that complicated actually. Mr. Zhang's Water Margin last year was the TV drama with the highest ratings in mainland China. Mr. Zhang, just give me a token."

"That makes sense. What kind of keepsake would be good?"

"How about this, give me a photo of your Water Margin crew, and then write something on the back. I think Mr. Jin Yong will believe it."

"Okay! This is good! It's also very convenient. I'll prepare it when I get home."

"No problem, but I still have to ask, what is the attitude of our CCTV?"

"Attitude?" Zhang Da Huzi frowned.

Ma Xun explained, "That is to say, does CCTV intend to be more aggressive or more gentle?"

"It definitely can't be soft!" Zhang Da Huzi understood what this meant.

At the beginning, Jin Yong had some differences with us on the mainland.

If we plan to cooperate now, who should lower their stance first?

This is a big question, and it is reasonable for Ma Xun to ask this.

And Zhang Da Huzi’s answer…Ma Xun laughed.

"I understand! Neither humble nor overbearing."

As soon as these four words came out, Zhang Da Huzi nodded immediately.

"That's right! That's what it means!"

Zhang Da Huzi was very satisfied.

Ma Xun asked for more details, "I don't know, which one are you planning to talk about?"

"Well... by the way, a new version of "Swordsman" was recently broadcast in Taiwan Province."

"I see, this is it."

"That's right, let's compete with them!"

"understand!"

That was about it. Zhang Da Huzi was very satisfied and went back to prepare the "token".

Looking at the bearded man's departing back, Ma Xun's smile was harder to suppress than an AK.

……

"Fatty Jing, I am now CCTV's special envoy."

"Ah? Boss, so awesome?"

After Ma Xun finished chatting with Zhang Da Huzi, he immediately went to find Fatty Wang.

This fat guy is indeed smart. After taking revenge on Jiahe, he immediately ran to the mainland.

Never mind whether anyone over there will find out that it was him who did it, it is absolutely safe to escape to the mainland.

Of course, the fat guy has his reasons, as he had previously won the award for "First Contact".

The reason why Ma is looking for him now is naturally because of the CCTV martial arts incident.

"Can you guess what my special envoy does?"

"I wouldn't have guessed that."

The fat man is good at talking.

Ma Xun knew he would give this answer, and immediately said with a smile: "The reason I came to see you is actually because of your father."

"My Father?"

"Yes, Director Wang must have been very familiar with Mr. Jin Yong when he was filming The Legend of the Condor Heroes."

After hearing this, Fatty Wang could no longer pretend.

"Of course. Boss, I understand. Could it be that CCTV is planning to start filming a Jin Yong drama?"

"clever."

"Thank you for the compliment, but..."

"Yes, this cooperation is not that easy."

"So, I hope your father can help me."

"no problem!"

Of course Fatty Wang understood what Ma Xun meant, but it was impossible for him to fully understand what Ma Xun meant.

"Fatty Jing."

"Sir, please speak."

"Have you watched the Taiwanese version of "Swordsman" this year?"

"I saw it, it's so bad... Oh, it turns out that CCTV also wants to make this movie."

"You are indeed smart."

"That's easy. I'll talk to my dad and ask him to help me get the adaptation rights, and then quickly launch it online to beat the Taiwanese version!"

"you……"

"Ah? Boss? Is there something wrong?"

Fatty Jing looked terrified. He felt that there was nothing wrong with what he had just said.

Ma Xun could only smile helplessly, "Why are you being so stupid at this time?" "Boss, please teach me."

"No problem. I'll tell you clearly, it was Zhang Da Huzi from Water Margin who came to me and asked me for help. Of course I agreed to do this favor, but what would he think if it went so smoothly?"

Fatty Wang understood immediately, "Boss, you are right! If things go too smoothly, this bearded guy will definitely not be grateful to you."

"That's the truth."

"So, we must make this matter bizarre and tortuous."

"Do you have a script?"

Fatty Wang thought for a while, then whispered a few words into Ma Xun's ear.

Ma Xun laughed, and then said, "But what if Zhang Da Huzi goes to Hong Kong and plans to talk to Jin Yong himself?"

Fatty Wang laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared. "That's easy. Just find a few brothers to beat him up."

"Oh, how could you do that! This is an act of violence... Be careful when you hit him, his beard is actually an eyesore."

"I understand! Even if I don't shave it all off, I'll pluck out most of it!"

“We are civilized people.”

"I will definitely find a brother with clean hands and feet!"

Wow, the conversation between these two is totally irrelevant.

But actually, there is nothing wrong with it.

I guess Zhang Da Huzi never imagined in his dreams that he had found a Tai Sui God for himself.

In fact, Ma Xun’s purpose was very clear.

Just running errands?

Only a fool would do that!
Ma Xun's plan is to have CCTV film a Jin Yong drama, which is of course no problem, but now that I have become a 'special envoy', I must take advantage of it.

You, Zhang Da Huzi, are the one who filmed "Swordsman" on CCTV.

Then I can shoot another Jin Yong drama, is that okay?

Therefore, this matter cannot be settled immediately.

As far as Ma Xun remembers, Jin Yong sold the adaptation rights of "Swordsman" to CCTV for one yuan. This big news seemed to have happened this summer.

Doesn't this just mean there's still plenty of time?

I'll just keep the big bearded guy hanging for now.

Wait until this guy gets anxious, then we can take action against him.

Then I thought that Zhang Da Huzi was also a womanizer. He was still a playboy in his forties and later married a young wife who was thirty years younger than him.

Beating him a few times can be considered as doing good deeds for him in advance.

That's the end of the discussion.

At this time, Fatty Wang took out some things as if he was presenting treasures.

photo.

"Boss, please look at these photos. Which one do you think looks more like Qingwu Feiyang?"

It seems that he is very concerned about "First Contact".

Ma Xun had suggested to him before, that is, let’s first hold a talent show and select Qingwu Feiyang.

This not only makes money, but also creates momentum for the movie.

Since the selection is Light Dance, of course there will be a lot of female students participating.

And these photos...

"I say, fat guy, can't you be a little respectful to these photos? These girls, no matter what, all have dreams."

Ma Xun's words reflect his feelings.

This is basically how we select actors in our country at the beginning.

Just send the photos to the crew and the casting director.

But in fact, we know in our hearts that many important roles are determined by the boss’s capital.

Casting directors can usually only cast roles around fourth or fifth place, and they are not qualified for any higher roles.

However, their attitude towards the photos sent to them was different.

It is common to throw it away or step on it.

Anyway, there is no respect at all.

The look on Fatty Wang’s face now...seems familiar to Ma Xun.

Now that I say this, it is indeed useful.

"Boss, I know I was wrong."

Adjust your attitude immediately.

To be honest, Ma Xun knew that what he just said could not actually change the overall atmosphere in the circle.

But it’s time to say it.

Now, take a look.

"Actually, this program should be fair. Also, I can help you get in touch with the telecommunications company to organize an event. That is, during the program, the audience can participate in the voting. I know they are pushing text messages."

When Fatty Wang heard these words...his heart was trembling!
Boss Ma Xun is so awesome!

He really has connections everywhere!

This is the real boss!

In fact, what Ma Xun said was just a casual remark to him.

But it sounds different to other people.

Telecom companies are so awesome nowadays, no need to explain.

Moreover, as for text messages, our country only started to promote this function this year.

To put it bluntly, most ordinary people don’t know about this function yet.

Ma Xun has now discovered business opportunities in this, and the key is that he has the ability to turn this business opportunity into reality.

The film "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" laid the foundation.

That's all. Let alone Fatty Wang, even a big shot who is much more powerful than him would think that Ma Xun is this person.

Super awesome!
But, in Ma Xun's view, this is just normal.

Because of talent shows and text message voting, this will be too common in the future.

And a simple analysis.

The talent show "Qingwu Feiyang" has started preparations now, and it will take at least half a year for it to be broadcast on TV.

Wouldn't it be perfect to link up with the telecom company then?
So, when Ma Xun said this, he didn't actually look at Fatty Wang.

Looking at these photos carefully, the candidates who are planning to participate in the competition...

what?
Is she there?

Isn't this Qiuya? She's too young. She doesn't seem to be suitable. She hasn't even gone to college yet.

And there is... Yan Danchen, this girl still has a chubby face.

After watching for a while, that's it.

"Okay, I think it's okay. You should learn more from European and American reality shows. Next, I will find someone to help you contact Hunan TV."

"Thank you, boss!"

Fatty Wang's face was full of smiles; he had just made up his mind.

Such a big guy must be followed closely.

The key is that their current relationship is still kept secret.

It's just a secret...

……

There is still some time before the Spring Festival this year.

Yan Danchen was not in a hurry to return to his hometown.

She was a student of Class 96 of Beijing Film Academy, and she actually felt quite stressed.

Because many of my classmates have become famous.

Xiaoyanzi, Chen Kun and so on.

In fact, I have filmed many movies, but they have never been very popular.

Look for another opportunity in this capital city.

I sent my information to several film crews.

Unfortunately, not many people replied.

Let’s look for it again.

Yan Danchen went out with this mood, but unexpectedly, he met someone on the way.

he?
I had seen him on CCTV before, and later on at school, but I didn't have the courage to say hello at that time.

He was chatting with teacher Yu Feihong.

And the person next to him now is a well-known Hong Kong director.

I had even sent the information to him... Oh no, it's coming towards me.

Me, what should I do?
In fact, Yan Danchen didn’t know that Ma Xun had seen her early in the morning.
