Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 227 Breaking 2000 million again! Cypress branches beside horses?
"Miss Zhang, judging from your complexion, it seems..."

"Oh, there's nothing I can do. I've been driven around so much by the company lately that I'm almost dying."

"You can see that he is really busy."

"That's how we little actors are."

"You're not just a little actress, you're a celebrity now, and a very famous one at that."

"I'm not a star at all. I can never compare to you bosses... Oh, Mr. Ma, I'm not very good at talking..."

"It's okay. I'm not someone who gets angry easily. It's still fun for us to have this chat."

"Hehe... By the way, we, we are enemies?"

"What enemy? When your boss started doing business with me, you seemed to be in high school."

"Mr. Ma, why do you say such things? You seem so old. Haha... Oh, I think I said the wrong thing again."

"Hehe...it's nothing. I am a few years older than you."

"Mr. Tajima, you really don't look old at all."

"Ms. Zhang, you are really good at talking."

At this point, Ma Xun and Bai Zhi both laughed.

Baizhi was a little embarrassed. She was not a fool, but because of family problems, she was indeed a little lacking in some aspects.

But fortunately, Ma Xun's teasing was not too excessive. In fact, considering his status, even if what he said was excessive.

Baizhi had to listen and endure.

She herself knew that Ma Xun was the boss and she was just an employee for him, and there was a hierarchical difference in their identities.

Therefore, Baizhi actually felt that Ma Xun, the big boss, was a good person and even amiable.

However, Ma Xun had different ideas.

He was absolutely certain that Bai Zhi wanted to talk to him on purpose.

This hottest new star in Hong Kong definitely has a special purpose.

It's okay, don't be in a hurry.

Anyway, Ma Xun now has an absolute advantage.

So, during the conversation on the plane, Ma Xun just talked about random things.

Not saying anything important at all.

And Baizhi was basically just talking about one thing, which was that she was tired.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably just ignore it as a trivial matter.

Or, if there is a man who has the intention to pursue Baizhi, such as Nicholas Tse or his good brother Edison Chen, he will probably ask about her well-being.

But Ma Xun thought that this was important information.

Long Wu and his men should strengthen their subordinates, or in other words, they should exploit their subordinates forcefully.

They are finished!
This conclusion is not difficult to draw.

If we regard Baizhi as an employee of a company, it will be easy to understand.

When a company begins to exploit its employees madly, it has entered the countdown to bankruptcy.

There are too many examples to list here.

At this moment, Ma Xun’s previous strategy has completely worked!
The battle in this summer season is mainly a competition between three movies.

But in fact, both movies are by Ma Xun, and only "The Legend of Zu" is its rival.

In this way, Ma Xun's strategy was very simple, especially since he knew that the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released twice in a short period of time in the original time and space.

So, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was used as the pioneer to compete head-on with "The Legend of Zu".

Long Wu and his men will definitely mobilize a lot of resources.

After all, this movie is Li An's masterpiece, and the cast is very strong.

When "The Legend of Zu" enters its fatigue period, it is time for "My Sassy Girl" to come out and reap the rewards.

In Ma Xun's opinion, this battle plan is absolutely foolproof.

But he doesn't have any informants now.

In other words, Ma Xun really had no idea what was going on with Long Wu and the others.

Now, Baizhi has told him everything.

Ma Xun knew that he had won the battle.

But, just beating Long Wu is actually just a small goal.

Most of what Ma Xun said to Dong Qing was true.

That’s right, he does intend to use "My Sassy Girl" to reverse the situation in our domestic film market during the summer season.

Take a piece of meat from the mouth of Hollywood movies!
Ma Xun was already confident because he knew very well that this movie from the original time and space would have a very strong influence throughout Asia.

And now, I have re-shot this movie and made many improvements and interesting connections.

Next, let’s see how high the box office of this movie can be!
"Oh? Mr. Ma, you, you seem to be smiling."

"no."

Baizhi's observation ability is really good, which is one of the seven powers and four senses in performance.

She probably hasn't studied acting professionally, but she actually has this kind of talent.

Ma Xun couldn't help but sigh.

The emergence of Bai Zhi, a talented actress, is an important reason why Hong Kong films can survive.

She is really a... I'd better not think too much about it.

Bai Zhi's obvious good looks made Ma Xun unable to help but imagine the image of her wearing the Hong Kong police uniform in his mind.

It's true that this woman is extremely talented, and it's also true that she's a natural actor.

But she's also a real slut.

……

The plane landed in Guangzhou.

"Ms. Zhang, we'd better keep a certain distance."

"Oh, why? Mr. Ma?"

"I'm afraid your boss will misunderstand."

"No, you said it yourself, you are more familiar with my boss than I am with my boss."

"That's true, but you're a celebrity now, and I'm a single man. If we were photographed by the paparazzi, then..."

"Ha... that's a good thing for me!"

Baizhi acted like a silly girl at this time, but Ma Xun knew that she definitely had some plan.

"I'm thinking about you."

"Thank you Mr. Ma."

Although Baizhi was very proactive, they were not from the same group after all.

We parted ways after leaving the airport, but of course, we still left contact information.

In fact, Ma Xun had already guessed what Bai Zhi's purpose was.

This "The Legend of Shu" tells the story based on the situation in the original time and space.

Big loss!
The investment was indeed hundreds of millions, but the box office was very dismal. It seems that the total box office was less than 300 million US dollars.

The reason why it is calculated in US dollars is because the overseas rights of this movie were purchased by Miramax.

Bought it before it came out.

In fact, Ma Xun originally planned to take action on this movie, mainly to do the overseas copyright business.

I didn't expect that Sun Donghai incident would happen.

But it’s okay, he just took the 1000 million and left.

Why not make money for free?

Long Wu and his team are confident in their movie, that's their business.

Now let’s look at the results, hehe…

Although this "The Legend of Zu" is still in theaters, they definitely can't take it back even a hair.

After such a failure, who will take the blame?
Baizhi is not stupid, she knows it clearly.

I'm afraid it's up to the actors to bear the consequences.

It all depends on the present moment.

The brothers Long Wu and Shisan Shao can be said to have exploited these Hong Kong stars to the extreme.

Even though Yi Mian and Gu Zai both have a large number of fans, they would never dare to resist someone like Long Wu.

Hong Kong is a capitalist society.

Baizhi knows the difference between celebrities and bosses, and Yimian and the others certainly understand it too.

So, what can you do if you don’t want to take the blame?
Bai Zhidong's intention must be to curry favor with me, Ma Xun.

This analysis is at least 80% correct.

In this case, Ma Xun is certainly not in a hurry.

The one who should be anxious is Baizhi.

So, when Ma Xun came to Yangcheng, he naturally did what he should do.

Not affected in any way.

Baizhi must have gone to various major cinemas to meet with fans.

Ma Xun negotiated with the local cinema company about the release of the film.

Whether we can meet later... depends on the situation.

The hotel where Ma Xun stayed was the White Swan Hotel, which was owned by the Huo family.

Of course, this hotel is excellent in every way.

Especially the dishes.

Ma Xun enjoyed delicious food while working.

It's really comfortable.

What made him even happier was the movie "My Sassy Girl".

It’s really popular!
The two methods he used later now seem to be very effective.

Of course, it could also be because of the music or the previous collaboration.

Anyway, if you open the web page and look for comments on this movie now, netizens are basically praising it.

Some talked about the plot, some talked about the music, and some talked about the connection with martial arts.

The main reason is that Bingbing herself is the heroine of "Shao Bao".

This linkage is simply natural.

In addition, Jingwen and Yuanyuan have also joined.

When netizens saw it, they all found it very interesting.

In fact, Ma Xun wrote some interesting lines in this section.

Aren’t the male and female protagonists playing COS?

Then, Jingwen and Yuanyuan are naturally staff members.

They have to introduce themselves.

"I also auditioned for the role of Huang Rong, but who knew that Jia Jingwen was chosen in the end! There must be something fishy going on!"

"How dare you say I don't look like Mu Nianci? I'm even more Gao Yuanyuan than Gao Yuanyuan!"

When Jingwen said this line to Yuanyuan...netizens all talked about it and burst out laughing at the time.

It is true that our movie is a romance, but it is also a comedy.

Besides, Huang Haibo is basically a coward.

There's nothing wrong with that. In fact, this guy was a representative figure of the early cowardly male protagonists in the original time and space.

That "The Good Times of Wife".

The one who actually made the biggest improvement this time was Huang Bo.

He was seen!
Netizens discovered the quintuplets in this movie.

Huang Bo really plays each of these five roles differently.

And it's also very interesting.

In short, Ma Xun’s “My Sassy Girl” should be a hit!
There's no reason why it shouldn't be popular.

It's just the speed of the fire.

Looking at it now, it probably just takes some time, and when the time comes, it will naturally become a hit.

The box office growth is also amazing.

During this period of travel, Ma Xun received calls from the Shanghai Film Association and Han Sanping.

Just one addition, 2000 million!

But is this a success?
Want to accomplish that small goal.

Our movie needs to get at least 4000 million at the box office!
Only in this way can we take back our own summer movie season for Chinese films from the hands of Hollywood movies!
Good news comes one after another.

The cinema companies in Guangzhou also showed their sincerity.

Great, sold the copy!

After the deal was settled, Ma Xun returned to White Swan, but someone was waiting for him.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"It's been a while, Mrs. Zhong. Why don't we have a meal together?"

"Okay."

Cherie Chung actually showed up at White Swan. Was she there for the restaurant’s excellent Cantonese cuisine?

Wait for the two of them to enter the elevator.

There was no third person in the car, so Ma Xun was quite decisive.

He grabbed Mrs. Zhong's plump buttocks.

"You, you are so brave."

Zhong Chuhong blushed instantly...
