Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 152: The Haunted Mansion is a Hits! Is it the Marilyn Monroe of Hong Kong? Just a Trophy
"I was bullied when I was a girl, so I feel resistance..."

"You don't need to tell me these things."

"But I want to talk about it."

"Oh, that's good."

"So later..."

It's a little surprising.

The day was stretched out.

Ma Xun and Zhong Chuhong lay side by side on the deck of the ship, looking at the starry sky.

Being on the sea is indeed a different feeling.

Now, Cherie Chung has become the one who talks, and Ma Xun is a qualified listener.

In fact, it’s not a very new story.

It is the familiar story of an ordinary girl who gradually became a big star.

Of course, she had to pay a lot along the way.

It's just that now that she's saying it herself, it feels more real.

Until I heard her talk about marrying into a wealthy family.

"Is there anything else behind?"

"You're fed up with that?"

"I mean, marrying into a wealthy family shouldn't be a big deal."

"How could that be? In fact, the so-called wealthy life is really not as glamorous as it seems."

"Let me guess, is it because of Dink?"

"Ma Xun, you are really a smart guy."

"Thanks for the compliment, but this isn't hard to guess."

As for DINK, this concept is still too new to us Chinese.

First of all, you need to understand that you should not think that Hong Kong is such an advanced place.

In fact, in some aspects, some of the ideas of Hong Kong people are very outdated.

For example: feudal superstition.

The other thing is the idea about offspring.

There must be offspring, and there must be sons.

One of the important reasons why the tycoon kidnapped Li's son was that he knew Li attached great importance to his son.

The Zhu family is also a wealthy family. Even if they are not as wealthy as Mr. Li, they are not short of money.

As a result, Zhu Jiading didn't even want offspring just for you, Cherie Chung.

This is something that the elders must have talked about often.

At this time, Hong Gu turned over and looked at Ma Xun sideways.

"Can you give me a solution?"

Ma Xun smiled after hearing this, "You're still asking me for conditions for the spoils of war?"

He is really ruthless.

Fortunately, Hong Gu already knew this before, "I won't let you work for nothing."

"But what else do you have?" Ma Xun was now in a business-like posture. "Hong Gu, although you are quite famous, I think that this day is enough."

The implication is that I will not sway the transaction price because of beauty.

It would be nonsense for Hong Gu to say that she was not angry, but at the moment she was very sure that Ma Xun should be able to help her.

"Xian Tao will continue to cooperate with you in the future, and we can have a long-term cooperative relationship."

This condition is very good.

Compared with playing with his wife at sea, Xian Tao's special effects production is more attractive to Ma Xun.

"Okay, then I'll tell you a very simple fact."

"What fact?"

"Do you know what the future of DINK families will be like?"

"The future? Are there many families like this in the mainland?"

"There aren't any in the mainland, but there are quite a few in the United States. I studied there before."

Well, he brought out Ma Xun’s fake background again.

Cherie Chung did not suspect anything because she had heard about it before.

"Okay, so what's the future?"

Ma Xun smiled and said, "The future of a DINK family can't hold up. Let's have a child."

"You, you..." Zhong Chuhong was suppressing her anger.

Ma Xun then gave an explanation, "The reason is this, because DINK families are often highly educated or high-income families, just like you.

Then, a family like yours will have a large fortune.

I ask you, if you die, who will own this property?"

"You... do I need to say this?"

Of course it’s the relatives.

But that’s the problem!
Ma Xun continued, "Do you think they will quietly wait for you to die peacefully?"

In fact, the truth is that there will be relatives who keep saying:

Would you mind giving your property to our children?
They may even take things belonging to the DINK couple and use them as their own.

You don't need it anyway, do you?

It really is like that.

In Ma Xun's era, there were actually very few DINKs.

Nearly 90% of DINK families end up having children.

If you don’t have children, your property will be coveted by your relatives.

Just one move will end their dreams.

Have a child.

It must be the same for the couple Cherie Chung and Zhu Jiading.

But they would probably be more respectable.

After all, the eldest brother of the Zhu family is not short of money, and he must have distant relatives.

Don't think that such relatives, who have no inheritance rights, will want nothing. In fact, they may be even more shameless.

When Zhong Chuhong heard this, she was shocked.

"But……"

But this one of hers made Ma Xun laugh.

"Knew it."

Eunuch?

"Don't you dare say that about him!"

"I didn't say anything."

Yes, Ma Xun really didn’t say anything.

But Hong Gu couldn't stand it.

"You are so mean!"

As he said this, he jumped onto the horse.

People with the surname Ma Xun sometimes really put themselves at a disadvantage.

But this stuff is quite powerful.

"Woman, you are just my trophy. You are not allowed to take it if I don't give it to you!"

It appeared, the domineering boss’s quotes!
It's really just right to use it here.

But Hong Gu’s family is also smart.

"I didn't say anything."

Yes, they didn’t say what they wanted.

Ma Xun was helpless for a while.

There is no other choice but to use the sky as a blanket and the boat as a bed.

……

exploded!

"The Abbey" became a huge hit after it was released in Hong Kong!
It broke the single-day box office record on the first day and broke the record again on the second day!

Such strong box office results immediately attracted the attention of other theaters.

Although it was not originally released only in Golden Harvest Cinemas, other cinemas did not treat it as the main force. You know, this is indeed a ghost movie from the mainland.

Although, nominally speaking, this is a Hong Kong movie.

But it's only in name.

At the beginning, many theaters scheduled screenings because of Wang Xiancai.

Only now are these theaters realizing that this movie seems to be quite interesting.

After being released in the past two days, the box office has exceeded 10 million!

This result is amazing!

In this way, the film will be released in more theaters, and the box office performance after that can still be expected.

Of course, don't expect too much.

Take the normal box office curve of a movie as an example.

Most of the time, there will be a pretty good upward trend in the first two weeks.

By the third week, the probability is that it has dropped significantly.

There are actually a lot of bad movies.

It dropped 50% in the second week!

This is even quite common.

There is no way. At present, there are too many pirated discs, and there are always young and dangerous people in Hong Kong who use their equipment to shoot movies.

Hong Kong filmmakers have even made movies specifically about this, horror films to scare the young and dangerous guys.

Unfortunately it's of no use.

Gun version coming soon!

Can the strong performance continue in the second week?

In fact, no matter what, this movie is currently extremely successful.

There is even better news.

Many fans who watched this movie gave it high praise.

In Hong Kong, you will meet some guys who do questionnaires.

They actually collect word-of-mouth about movies.

The Internet is not very developed now, so this kind of questionnaire survey plays a very important role.

On such a questionnaire, we can see the following:

"The twist at the end was so shocking! I never thought that the heroine was actually the ghost!"

"It can be said to be extremely stunning! The heroine and her two little daughters are the real ghosts!"

"Those three servants are ghosts too. Wow, they are so powerful!"

"I've never seen a horror movie like this before. It's not only scary, but also makes people think."

That’s right, the most common reversal is the final one.

The heroine and her child turned out to be ghosts!
We actually watched the entire movie from the ghost's perspective.

Moreover, if someone watches it several times.

"I've watched it three times! I find it perfect! The fact that the heroine is a ghost was actually foreshadowed before, just like the detail of hanging curtains..."

You’re right, it’s true!
Ma Xun paid great attention to these details when taking the photos.

Although the final reversal is amazing, there was actually foreshadowing before it.

But there is another detail here.

It seems that many people haven't figured it out yet.

However, take your time.

The ship finally returned to the dock, and Sister Qing left.

My legs tremble when I walk.

How come Ma Xun is so powerful now?
Of course it was the ointment, which he had used quite skillfully.

Don't worry about this detail.

In fact, it only plays a supporting role.

Ma Xun himself is gifted, and this is the key.

As for the issue of children.

Of course Ma Xun didn’t give it.

There is no need to go into details about this.

After returning from the sea, Ma Xun turned on his mobile phone.

I found that I received a lot of calls from Bianxian and Sister Hong.

Well, let’s go and see them both.

Ma Xun was calm and composed, but his legs and feet felt a little weak when he got off the boat.

This is because I have been out to sea for a long time!

……

"What? Jiang Zhiqiang?"

"Yes, that's the person."

"Did he come over on his own initiative?"

"Yes, obviously eager to make this deal."

"Ha... That's for sure. He has put all his wealth on the line this time."

As soon as Ma Xun saw Sister Hong and Bianxian, he heard them talking about Jiang Zhiqiang.

Of course I know who this guy is!
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Moreover, in the original time and space, Hong Kong films two thousand years later were basically supported by Jiang Zhiqiang.

He can be seen in many, many Hong Kong films, especially the big productions.

Jiang Zhiqiang is a very good man and has a good relationship with the mainland.

Well, to be exact, he was in cahoots with Han Sanping.

Many films co-produced between the mainland and Hong Kong were produced by the two of them.

"The Warlords" and "Huo Yuanjia" and so on.

But Ma Xun also knew it very well.

In the original time and space, with the retirement of Han Sanping, Jiang Zhiqiang was not very strong.

Later there was a movie called "Burning City", and judging by the cast, it was definitely a big production.

But when it was released, it was scheduled at a very cold time slot.

Jiang Zhiqiang himself said that he thought he had not recognized the schedule clearly.

But in fact... the fact is that this thing is no longer popular in mainland China.

No one is hanging him anymore.

But now, it’s not even the year 2000 yet.

This "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has not started filming yet.

What a great opportunity!
"We should get the mainland distribution rights for this movie!"

After Ma Xun said this, he felt that it was not enough.

"Make an appointment with him and I'll talk to him."

Ma Xun plans to take action personally.

This momentum is quite good.

However, Sister Hong and Bianxian exchanged glances.

Suddenly asked a question!
"Hong Gu, is it fun?"

What is this word?

Ma Xun was stunned for a moment, but immediately recovered and said, "Bamboo shoot-shaped."

what? !

How could Sister Hong and Bianxian tolerate it after hearing this?

"Don't go too far!"

"I don't believe she has that kind of figure!"

The two beauties joined forces to attack.

Ma Xun really couldn't handle it.

No matter what, you need to cultivate yourself.
