Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 156: To make The Legend of the Condor Heroes, we must first build a film and television city? Fairy Jinghong recommends Jingwen
"Mr. Ma, someone is coming, someone is coming!"

"Old Xu, you are such a fool. This is just the beginning."

"Oh, I'm so happy. Haha... There are indeed quite a few crews here. The previous "The Twins" was also filmed here, although not much was shot. Recently, "Storm and Cloud" is here again. That's great! It's getting lively now."

"This is a good thing, but as I said before, we must focus on service."

"Understand, service, is service, that..."

"Just say whatever you want to say."

"What other business can we do?"

"Old Xu, you still can't adapt. What did I say before? You should treat this place as a scenic spot. Do you understand a scenic spot?"

"Oh, so we can do everything that the scenic spot can do?"

"Of course."

"I see, I see. By the way, I'll make some grilled sausages or something..."

"You are really petty, but as for the grilled sausages, I can find a source for you."

"That would be great!"

When Ma Xun returned from Hong Kong, he received a call from Old Xu.

Hengdian has become popular again, and there is no doubt that the crew of "Feng Yun" is doing well.

It was originally booked.

It was the crew of "The Twins" that surprised Ma Xun a little.

That Cai Yinong is quite interesting.

Although he failed to capture the Qin Palace, he was still very pragmatic.

Ma Xun remembered that this series "The Twins" was originally filmed mainly in Taiwan Province. Now, some changes should have taken place.

If they also used the Qin Palace, the momentum of some scenes would indeed be stronger than before.

This is the effect of being richer.

One thing must be understood, that is, although Ma Xun made the Qin Palace free, it does not mean that a film crew will spend less money.

On the contrary, it might cost more.

Because more money can be made in other aspects, this is actually the reason for the success of Hengdian Film and Television City in the original time and space.

However, in the original time and space, it was two or three years later that Old Xu figured out the way to make money.

It was only after the drama "Hero" became popular that he understood this matter.

In fact, even our domestic film and television cities have certain routines.

First of all, one thing must be determined.

The film and television city was built later.

That is to say, a film and television project comes first, and then the construction of the film and television city begins.

Be sure to get this order clear.

It's not about building the film and television city and then waiting for the crew to come.

That's not right.

Don't underestimate the issue of order, because it is difficult for ordinary people outside the circle to understand this matter.

Most people would think that it is impossible for such a large-scale building complex to be built just for a movie or a TV series.

But the reality is that most of our film and television cities in China have a corresponding film and television city only after a film or TV drama project is built.

The examples are too numerous to list here.

However, a film and television city built in this way naturally faces a problem.

That movie is finished, what next?

Will the film and television city be empty and such a large building complex be useless?
This is the real situation!
Most of the film and television studios are closed after one movie.

To be honest, Ma Xun felt uncomfortable when he saw this situation.

But this is reality, and he can't change it much.

The good news is that some film and television cities were actually successful later on.

Like Hengdian, there is also an Xiangshan Film and Television City more than 150 kilometers away.

Of course, this film and television city was not built until several years later.

In the original time and space, it was built for "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

There is also a large sculpture at the door.

Hengdian and Xiangshan, both film and television cities are very successful.

Now I, Ma Xun, am going to work on the project "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Why not build a film and television city?
So, this was the last sentence Ma Xun said on the phone to Old Xu.

"Do you want to expand Hengdian Film and Television City?"

After hearing this, Old Xu naturally became restless.

"Could it be that there are other big projects coming to us?"

That’s all I have to say about Ma Xun. As for the rest…

Let’s give Old Xu a try.

Ma Xun hung up the phone.

Then go home and have some rest.

It must be said that he is indeed ambitious.

But he definitely wasn't doing it randomly.

In terms of time, according to the original time and space, the CCTV version of "Swordsman" was not broadcast until 2001.

Of course, Ma Xun can't wait that long now. He will definitely find a way to speed up this CCTV project.

But no matter what, the earliest it will be is next year.

As for Ma Xun's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", if he starts researching a film and television city from now on, there is enough time.

Of course, he also knew that if this play was filmed seriously.

It is just like the version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" directed by Zhang Da Huzi in the original time and space, which is full of epic temperament and captures the magnificent scenery of our country from south to north.

That would definitely be very time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly.

But Ma Xun would definitely not do that. He would only have two places at most.

The southern film and television city, and then the Ulanbutong grassland in the north.

This place is the filming location of "Return of the Pearl". Later, the picture of Tielin and Gege riding motorcycles was produced here.

Wulanbutong is not far away, it is in Chifeng.

These two places are enough, and the rest are all landscaping.

If Old Xu is sensible, he will take the opportunity to expand Hengdian Film and Television City.

Ma Xun can also obtain more shares from it.

If he is ignorant.

Ma Xun’s alternative is to go to Xiangshan.

Just believe that they have wanted to build a film and television city long ago.

Throw this project to the local area and there will be no shortage of opportunities.

And want to carry out such a big project.

This must be coordinated with the above policies.

Or maybe... there is someone up there!
There are mainly two 'hard' relationships that Ma Xun can use now.

Promise of love.

Yu Feihong.

If they choose one...

Xu Qing's family is currently filming "Swordsman", and they have also brought Xiao Ran with them.

Ma Xun really didn't want to bother her.

It's not that I'm tired of it, really not.

Then, the only choice is Yu Feihong.

……

Beijing.

In a cafe.

After leaving Beijing Film Academy, my current main job is to play fairies in several film crews.

Yu Feihong is also very busy.

But she still feels very fulfilled.

With the popularity of "The Flying Dagger of Xiao Li", countless bosses around the world are eager to get in on the action.

Of course, everyone understands that Jin Yong’s dramas cannot be filmed yet, and we are just waiting for CCTV to do so.

But there is absolutely no problem in filming Gu Long's works.

Besides, there are books by other martial arts writers.

In short, this era of martial arts has really started.

Yu Feihong herself admitted that all this was related to the man in front of her.

"Ma Xun, what are you planning to do when you ask me out this time?"

"Teacher Yu, do I have to have some plans before I can ask you out?"

Ma Xun's words were quite provocative.

Yu Feihong's face was stern. "I'm not some young girl who doesn't know much about the world. Please stop using these tricks of yours."

Ma Xun didn't feel embarrassed after hearing this, because he knew Yu Feihong would be like this, and he did it on purpose.

"Okay, let's get down to business. This is my next plan. What do you think of it?" You said it, let's get down to business.

Ma Xun handed over a document.

This was done by Wang Changdian, and it is quite neat.

When Yu Feihong took it and looked at it, the first thing she saw was the eye-catching title.

She frowned, "Are you going to start The Legend of the Condor Heroes now? Or are you going to start from the film and television city?"

"Any questions?"

Ma Xun drank coffee leisurely and looked at Yu Feihong with a smile.

With just one glance, Yu Feihong could feel how huge this plan was.

Looking further, there is a film and television city to be built here...Niujia Village, Zuixianlou, Quanzhen Sect, Peach Blossom Island...Oh, this still has to be filmed on the real Peach Blossom Island.

This this……

"How many millions do you plan to spend?"

Yu Feihong's question highlights her authenticity.

Ma Xun wiped the corner of his mouth after hearing this and said, "You almost made me spit out my coffee when you asked this question."

Yu Feihong frowned, "What do you mean? Did I say something wrong?"

Yes, with so many buildings, even if it’s not a few hundred million, at least one or two hundred million would be enough.

As for land acquisition, there are still some procedures and you have to use connections.

But Ma Xun said lightly: "What if I only need 10 or 20 million to get it done?"

In fact, what this guy originally wanted to say was that he didn't spend a penny.

Buy a movie studio for zero dollars?
I’m afraid Yu Feihong won’t believe it.

"How is this possible!" Well, even if you said that, Yu Feihong still wouldn't believe it.

Ma Xun said with a smile, "How about making a bet? As long as I promote Jin Yong's name and promise that our play will focus on promoting Peach Blossom Island, then many pavilions and towers will appear on Peach Blossom Island, such as Huang Yaoshi's home, Guiyun Manor, etc.

"You..." With just these few words, Yu Feihong actually believed it.

Yes, as far as Taohua Island is concerned, it is definitely very welcome.

People are just looking for a reason to develop the tourism industry.

Peach Blossom Island combines the IP of the book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Definitely the best choice.

"Then why did you come to me?"

Yu Feihong said this with a bit of anger.

Ma Xun asked very seriously, "You know it better than me, why are you asking me?"

Hey, this is a really great question.

Of course Yu Feihong understood it in her heart.

But when Ma Xun said this, she became a little angry.

"Mr. Ma, how could you do this?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"What are you doing? Aren't you just trying to take advantage of my background? My connections?"

"Yes, I just want to take advantage of your resources."

"No, how can you say it so openly? Isn't what you did just because of connections? Is this legitimate?"

What Yu Feihong said makes sense.

Ma Xun also admitted it, he even nodded, but then he showed an expression that was so righteous that it was evil.

"Why can't I say this? Why should I hide anything from you?
Ms. Yu Feihong, have you ever thought about what would happen if this plan succeeded?

It's not just me who can film this TV series well.

So what will happen on Peach Blossom Island?
There will be earth-shaking changes!

Just building these buildings creates a lot of jobs.

How many workers will benefit from this? How many people will see an increase in income?

After it was built, we finished filming the show and broadcast it on TV, which was the best advertisement.

How much economic benefit will it bring to the local area?
How much GDP will be generated?

Have you calculated these?

Why should I look for you, why should I use your background, isn't it because if I have these.

It is easy to do things locally, and it will definitely be easier to get a loan.

This means the speed of construction has been accelerated!

If that doesn't work, then I can only try other means, such as going to Hengdian to look for another opportunity.

But I, Ma Xun, dare not say that doing these things is beneficial to the country and the people.

But what I did was definitely a good thing, right?

So, why should I cover up, why should I be sneaky?

I plan to use your background and connections, and I want to do it openly and aboveboard!"

Yu Feihong was confused.

She had seen all kinds of twisted logic from Ma Xun before.

But this time it's much more serious than before.

This time, Yu Feihong couldn't find any words to fight back against Ma Xun.

"Well, let's..."

With just one word, Ma Xun knew that the matter was settled.

"Don't worry, I will strongly invite Mr. Jin Yong to visit Peach Blossom Island. It will definitely be explosive news then."

This is just advertising for Taohua Island.

In fact, this is what Zhang Da Huzi did in the original time and space.

At this point, Yu Feihong had no other choice.

"What do you want me to do? That is to say..."

"It's very simple. Just meet with local leaders and discuss the development connection between martial arts and tourism. That's enough."

Yes, everyone knows your background.

There is no need to talk too much; it would be boring if you talk too much.

Yu Feihong happens to be from Zhejiang.

Right, it was the right decision to find her.

But our Fairy Jinghong is still a little shy.

"Then what else..."

Ma Xun's expression also eased, "Of course you have to play the role."

Upon hearing this, Yu Feihong was happy, "Then what role should I play? Huang Rong is definitely not suitable."

Ma Xun smiled and said, "Even if you want to act, I can't let you."

"Ma Xun!" Angry, angry!
Beautiful women are like this, if she says she has some problems, that's normal, but if you follow suit, that's wrong.

Ma Xun then said, "I'm doing this for your own good. If you play Huang Rong, you'll be scolded to death when the show airs."

Makes sense.

But Yu Feihong was still not completely relieved, "What can I play?"

"This... Li Ping."

what?
Guo Jing's mother?

"You, you..." Yu Feihong was so angry.

Ma Xun laughed, "It's a role that tests my acting skills. Moreover, I play the role from a young age to an old age."

Wow, this guy is really good at talking!

When Yu Feihong got to this point, she smiled.

"Ma Xun, ah Ma Xun, you guy, I will remember you."

Is this a grudge?
"Didn't you remember me a long time ago?"

Ma Xun was not afraid at all.

Are the two of them going to start bickering?
Fortunately, Ma Xun brought up another important matter.

“For this casting, I plan to promote newcomers, and talented actors will play more supporting roles. I plan to use newcomers for Huang Rong, Guo Jing, etc.

Please help me choose one. You should have a good eye and you can recommend someone to me."

Ma Xun played this move beautifully!

He tied Yu Feihong directly to his chariot.

Moreover, Yu Feihong really took it to heart.

"I have one now, she's quite young, Huang Rong and Mu Nianci, both are pretty good."

"Who?"

Ma Xun was naturally very curious, and Yu Feihong also started looking for photos.

"She was my former student, but she dropped out later because something happened at home. She has been acting ever since. Oh, here you are..."

A photo was handed over.

Ma Xun took a look and couldn't hold back his smile.

Isn’t this Jia Jingwen?
But she looks like a tomboy in the photo.
