Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 250: Cherie Chung, who loves helping others, easily wins the TV drama war at the beginning of the year!

Without checking the clock, it seemed like the year had already come to 2001.

But, Ma Xun and Zhong Chuhong don’t pay attention to the time at all.

"Was that call from Guan Zhilin?"

"Oh, Mrs. Zhong, I'm very curious. Are you guessing or are you following me all day?"

"Bah! Who would follow you? It was just that day in the parking lot. I..."

"So this is ah."

"You, you... Hey~"

Ma Xun tricked her into revealing the secret in just a few words, and Chung Chuhong was really at her wit's end.

The man next to her is simply her enemy from her previous life.

He had her completely under his control.

Moreover, when she thought about how he carried her in his arms before... every step seemed to weigh on her heart.

"I admit it. I'm just jealous, okay?"

"It's great, there's nothing wrong with it."

"then you……"

"Of course I'll just go my own way."

See, there is really no way.

Chung Chuhong had no choice but to roll her eyes at Ma Xun and let him experience the experience himself.

Ma Xun laughed and hugged him tightly, "Guan Zhilin must have thought it through and plans to join me and then develop in the mainland."

"Hmph!" Zhong Chuhong's snort was nonsense. In fact, she was a little envious of Guan Zhilin in her heart. "She is a person who does whatever she wants to do. Even if she publicly talks about how coquettish she is, she will be forgiven. She is quite free and easy."

Ma Xun couldn't help but nod his head after hearing this. "Your summary does make sense, but let's not talk about her anymore. Let's talk about you, my Mrs. Zhong."

When Zhong Chuhong heard this, she felt strange. She actually wanted to talk about her own affairs, especially wanted to hear Ma Xun's advice, but she didn't dare to talk about her own topic because she knew where the problem lay.

"I must reiterate that Mike loves me."

This is to put the bottom line first.

Ma Xun smiled again after hearing this, "Of course, I don't deny this, but since I love you, why not consider your future."

"This future..."

"Of course, your future after his death."

"But……"

"It's nothing. If you don't even consider your own future, then he won't consider it either. I can't help you with anything."

"The Zhu family wouldn't go that far, would they?"

"You are really naive sometimes."

"me……"

"Mrs. Zhong, you really disappoint me. It seems that you just married into a wealthy family, but you don't really understand how to survive in a wealthy family. Maybe that guy Mike protected you too well."

Zhong Chuhong blushed for a while after hearing what Ma Xun said, but he was indeed right.

In fact, this conversation between the two of them is really very important.

To put it simply, Zhu Jiading is now suffering from a terminal illness. What will be the fate of his widow, Cherie Chung, after he dies in the future?
By the way, I would like to emphasize that the word "widow" is definitely our Chinese word and was taken from the book.

Having said that, Ma Xun’s meaning was very clear, that is, if Zhu Jiading dies, you, Zhong Chuhong, will instantly have nothing in the Zhu family.

Of course, maybe it won’t be too extreme, but it’s almost there.

This was not the first time the two of them had discussed this topic, but Cherie Chung always had some unrealistic fantasies.

This is also the reason why she hesitated over and over again.

Ma Xun naturally saw it clearly, but it was obvious that Zhong Chuhong did not see it clearly. She probably did not believe that once Zhu Jiading passed away, she would have nothing in the Zhu family.

To be honest, Zhu Jiading was really good to her. He let her do whatever she wanted. If he liked planting trees and protecting the environment, then she would do it. They could even go together as long as their bodies allowed.

However, it was precisely because of this pampering that Chung Chuhong was unable to see the truth about this wealthy family, which led to this situation.

Ma Xun has actually gotten enough from Cherie Chung now. It doesn't matter if he leaves now or not, no matter what happens to the Zhu family. Even if it's about Jiahe, even if Cherie Chung doesn't help, Ma Xun has other ways.

Because Jiahe will fail sooner or later, all you need to do is be patient.

What’s left at the end are just the cinemas, and they can just collect them themselves when the time comes. It just takes a little more time.

But if he just ignored Mrs. Zhong like this... Ma Xun felt that it was a bit too much.

Give her a hand, it's always fun to help others.

"You can do an experiment."

"experiment?"

"Just tell me whether you want to or not?"

"Ma Xun~ Tell me about it."

"Well, to put it simply, if your husband is going to die, then the eldest brother of the Zhu family will definitely take action."

"What action?"

"Throwing dirty water on you."

"Huh? Why?"

"They will throw dirty water all over you and ruin your image in public. Then they can kick you out of the Zhu family with good reason. You will have nothing left. Even if you want to fight, no one will take your side. The drama of the wealthy families fighting for supremacy in Hong Kong... I'm just talking about the very basics."

Yes, there are so many grudges among the wealthy families in Hong Kong, and what Ma Xun said is indeed not something profound.

But it was enough to make Chung Chuhong's heart tremble.

Because the possibilities are too great!

Even her current efforts to protect the environment and plant trees can be considered a black spot in the future... You don't care about your family at all! Your husband's health has been affected by your efforts to protect the environment!
With just these words, Cherie Chung was completely powerless to refute.

So, when Ma Xun said this, she broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing the change in Mrs. Zhong, Ma Xun stepped up his pressure and said, "As for what to do, it's also very simple. You can take your husband to see a doctor abroad and find a new doctor. Soon, we will release the news that your husband is critically ill. Just wait and see.

Is Zhu Jiading not yet incapable of taking care of himself? If you trust him completely, you can discuss it with him and test the bottom line of the eldest brother of the Zhu family. "

You know what, this method is really good!

Zhong Chuhong then said: "After the news of my critical illness came out, as long as there were a lot of news reports slandering me, it meant... I never thought that my future would be so bleak."

The rich wife now looks dejected.

Ma Xun still smiled and said, "Don't be too discouraged. At least you still have a special effects company now."

That’s right, the special effects company that was set up under Ma Xun’s suggestion may very well be Chung Chuhong’s last resort.

Of course, this is the worst case scenario.

In fact, having said this, Chung Chuhong was completely certain that the eldest brother of the Zhu family would definitely do as Ma Xun said.

If anything happens to Mike, they will go crazy and throw dirty water on themselves.

And by then...

"There must be a way to break the situation, right?"

Ma Xun certainly didn't hide it, "I told you before, I want a child."

Zhong Chuhong finally made up her mind at this moment, "But Mike's health..."

"Nowadays, technology is advanced enough that even if he can't get hard, he can still extract the essence."

Ma Xun's words made Chung Chuhong laugh.

But, just relying on technology?

"How about you do it for me?"

Sure enough, after I figured it out, the whole situation opened up.

Ma Xun also laughed, "In fact, most doctors abroad have no bottom line."

There's nothing wrong with that. Those doctors are basically private doctors and you just need to pay the money.

Zhong Chuhong climbed onto the horse again, "You are such a bad guy!"

Ma Xun held her waist and said, "But he is also a bad guy who helps you."

Mrs. Zhong loved to hear this.

There is no difference between helping others and investing in others at this moment.

……

2001, New Year's Day.

Two TV stations in mainland China, two big dramas to start the year.

Coming soon.

Tang Ren's "The Book and the Sword" came with great force.

It has been fully preheated before.

We have basically done everything we can in traditional media and on the Internet.

Now it depends on the playback situation.

Hunan TV's "The Emperor of Han Dynasty" is also ready to go.

The media offensive was also quite good, especially this TV station.

In recent years, Hunan TV has been gaining momentum.

Since the broadcast of "Return of the Condor Heroes", there has been a series of good TV series with high ratings.

Well, Channel 2 was still the best when "Return of the Condor Heroes" was being broadcast.

Now that Director Ouyang has been promoted, it is obvious that this main station is going to take the top spot among local stations.

In this way, a TV drama ratings battle at the beginning of the year is about to begin!

At this critical juncture, there is a piece of news that is rapidly gaining attention!
"Li Jiaxin has entered Hollywood?"

"It is said that it was an American ghost movie!"

"No, that movie is an adaptation of 'The Abbey'."

"Wow! So amazing?"

"So wouldn't the play 'Son of Han Dynasty' be a TV play played by a Hollywood actress for us?"

"What's the big deal? Isn't she still Li Jiaxin?"

Netizens began to discuss it extensively.

The movie "The Abbey" was adapted by Hollywood in the United States. Once the news came out, it would of course attract a lot of attention.

Our Chinese movies have also been remade by Hollywood! ... This is definitely a big gimmick.

However, there has been no related publicity.

In fact, this is very reasonable, because "The Aboriginal Story" is a ghost movie and it cannot be released normally in our mainland.

There is no point in promoting it.

But there will definitely be people who will promote it.

A pirate.

It's very beneficial to them.

"The Aboriginal Story" originally sold well, and the pirates made a lot of money.

Now looking at it, hey, it was adapted by Hollywood.

Then hurry up and post more on the Internet.

Of course, this matter also fell on Li Jiaxin, who was in charge of the publicity for the drama.

The reporter asked: "Regarding the American version of "The House That Died"..."

Li Jiaxin: "Actually, the name has been changed to "The Island Terror"."

"When will it be released?"

"It could be during the Halloween season, or it could be during the summer season."

"Then it would be best to do it during the summer vacation."

"of course."

This interview for the drama promotion has nothing to do with the TV series.

But Li Jiaxin's temperament and beauty are definitely a Hollywood star, which adds a lot of points to "The Emperor of Han Dynasty".

Of course, there are several outstanding big names playing supporting roles in this drama.

Uncle Daoming, and there is Chen Shali from Taiwan Province. She is quite a star, having won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actress.

In short, this drama has a strong cast at first glance... Wait, where is Brother Ming?
Well, for now, Brother Ming can only be considered a newcomer.

There is really no way around it. Even when introducing him now, the most commonly used name is "a member of the 96 class of Beijing Film Academy" or classmate Yan Zi.

With such an introduction, Brother Xiao Ming would definitely be unhappy.

But there was nothing he could do.

After all, at present, Brother Xiao Ming from the Class 96 of Beijing Film Academy is really not famous.

Everyone else who could become famous has become famous.

Even Huang Haibo from Class 97 also starred in "My Sassy Girl".

Brother Xiao Ming was indeed a little embarrassed, but he had no choice but to bear with it.

In fact, his current status as the leading actor is not as good as the music team of our play.

The team led by Yang Yuying re-made the opening and ending songs for this TV series.

Naturally, it was created by Phoenix Legend.

But, Yang Yuying is a big star after all, and she really likes music.

I sang a song too.

Many reporters were also her fans and simply surrounded her and asked her all kinds of questions.

The male protagonist of our play is indeed a bit miserable.

Let’s not talk about that for now.

After the drama promotion process is over, "The Emperor of Han Dynasty" will be broadcast.

The battle between two TV series and two TV stations begins now!
……

Beijing.

Finally, I can have a formal showdown with Ma Xun!
Cai Yinong is now... an excited heart and trembling hands.

Indeed, I have been losing before.

Moreover, it seems that there has never been a real fight.

It’s always because of various other reasons, or... wait, could it be that this guy Ma Xun is interfering?

Forget it, I won’t think too much about it.

What is the final outcome of the drama “The Book and the Sword”?
It’s already aired, the results will be revealed soon!
In fact, there is another detail here.

That is this drama, and Cai Yinong will use his connections to broadcast it in Taiwan Province at the same time.

That is, it will be broadcast simultaneously on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

What’s even more amazing is that in Taiwan Province, this drama is being broadcast on all three major TV channels.

These old three channels are the three TV stations before the opening up. Now after the opening up, there are more than 100 TV stations now.

Cai Yinong has quite close ties with that side, and is currently discussing the IP adaptation of the game.

Don’t think about it so much.

No matter what, we must win this time!
In fact, this drama is really good. The male lead is Zhao Wenzhuo and the female lead is Guan Yonghe.

She is really strong in TVB.

From the current perspective, it is also necessary to come to the mainland for development.

If the battle is successful.

Then the Tang people in the future will have a great general.

Cai Yinong had a good idea, but she didn’t know if it would be possible.

Look at the time, the show has already started.

The data from the TV station...should be provided after the first episode is broadcast.

This was Cai Yinong's suggestion and he also gave money.

Try to be faster.

But, time goes by so slowly...

Cai Yi waited and waited, and finally the first episode was over, and then the phone rang!
Giving money really works!

Pick up the phone, and...

“It’s more than 10%!”

Cai Yinong was so happy!
Great, this is already a pretty good result now.

It will certainly continue to go higher afterwards.

She thought it was a good idea and then started waiting again.

Wait and wait...it's finally here again.

"What? This..."

The second episode had a viewership of just over 9%.

It’s down already?

Cai Yining told himself that this was just a technical adjustment.

……

Time flies, and the New Year's Day holiday is over.

Ma Xun did not always pay attention to other people's pleasure.

After all, Mrs. Zhong still has to take care of her husband.

Anyway, Cherie Chung is no longer hesitating now.

It’s determined that no matter what, I must have a child.

As for that experiment, it still needs to be done.

The results of this experiment will also affect Zhu Jiading's attitude.

But I won’t talk about these anymore.

After Ma Xun came back, he started to pay attention to the opening battle of two TV series currently being produced in our mainland.

After all, it was his project, so it would be bad if we don't pay attention to it.

Although "The Emperor of Han Dynasty" was not filmed by him, there are still some changes.

For example, the song that Yang Yuying remade.

The song "The Heaven and Earth Are in My Heart" from the previous "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

This song is really great, not only did it help Phoenix Legend open up the market.

It also further enhanced Yang Yuying's status in the music industry.

She's the boss!
Moreover, his singing skills have not declined at all and are still very strong.

He can sing as well and also supports newcomers.

Naturally, everyone praises it.

Now that the drama has started airing, Ma Xun must of course pay attention to it.

I spoke to Director Ouyang on the phone several times.

Of course, we also talked about "Wulin Waishi".

When Director Ouyang heard that there was a new play, she was of course very happy.

Anyway, the alliance formed by the two of them is extremely solid.

After the broadcast of "The Emperor of Han Dynasty", it achieved a viewership rate of about 10% on the first day.

This result is considered quite good.

On the second day, it dropped.

But fortunately, it came back on the third day.

Taking this into consideration, it is probably around 10%.

Based on this result, it should be pretty good this year.

Ma Xun remembers very clearly that the ratings champion in 2001 should be "The Mansion Gate".

This drama is indeed very good, but it is a CCTV drama.

Let’s not think too much about it.

And back to the play "The Emperor of Han Dynasty"...actually, it had already been sold before.

3500 million!
Although this play may not seem like much, Ma Xun basically didn't put much effort into it. He bought it from Cai Yinong at a low price.

So, what else do you need a bicycle for?

There will be reruns in the future, so it’s a sure win.

So, what about my opponent?

Ma Xun also has people in Jingcheng TV Station, and Director Wang has not forgotten Ma Xun.

By the way, he is still the deputy director now.

But at the moment, we still have to wait a little. Ma Xun needs to allocate some strength before he can go to Jingcheng TV to show a few plays.

In this way, of course, we can just take the small ratings data casually.

As a result, when he saw this... Ma Xun just laughed.

Coincidentally, at this time Cai Yinong called.

"How's it going? A defeated general."

Ma Xun's words choked Cai Yinong.

"You, you... humph!" Cai Yi muttered vigorously.

Ma Xun smiled and said, "Just tell me what you are going to do this time."

Cai Yinong shouted angrily, "We didn't lose! Look at the ratings data in Taiwan Province, The Book and the Sword is at the top of the charts!"

Such a stubborn attitude.

Ma Xunyun said calmly: "It's boring if you do this. Anyway, wait until I return to the mainland, and then I'll have a good chat with you.

Cai Yi was so angry that he said, "Humph!"

"The Book and the Sword" was quite good in Taiwan Province, but it is not so good in our mainland.

In the beginning, it relied on publicity and promotion to gain high ratings, but afterwards, it dropped quickly.

Now the ratings are only around 4%. If it continues to drop at this rate, it may just be 1 point in the end.

From this perspective, even if we lose after "The Emperor of Han Dynasty", we will still be victorious.

It's normal for Cai Yin to be angry.

Ma Xun just wanted to piss off this little girl.

However, in this way, Ma Xun can also fully deal with the upcoming Hong Kong Lunar New Year box office battle!

"My Sassy Girl" and "The Lion Roars", who will win?
In just over ten days, the fight will really begin.

At this stage, Bingbing and Ye Quanzhen must come to Hong Kong, and Ma Xun must of course stick to his principles.

As for Guan Zhilin...Ma Xun never answered her calls.

Don’t be in a hurry, really don’t be in a hurry.

Keep her hanging first.

It’s already a mining card, so forget about taking it over, but it’s still okay to play with.

This is Ma Xun’s mentality now.

But he didn't expect that when he looked out of the large French window of his mansion...

Someone was waving at him.

"Brother Ma~Brother Ma~"

It turned out to be Jia Jingwen.
