Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 255 Information from Guan Zhilin, Watching a Movie with Yuanyuan

"Oh my God, I wish I had met you earlier."

Guan Zhilin was lying on the bed, sweating profusely and panting.

It was unclear whether this was a compliment or something else. Ma Xun just listened and didn't take it seriously.

But we must admit that although mining cards are mining cards, they were top-level cards after all.

It really plays differently.

All games can run smoothly, even with full high special effects.

Moreover, the surprised expression on her face was definitely not acted.

Perhaps Guan Zhilin used to mainly target rich guys, and when he met a talented guy like Ma Xun, he couldn't handle it for a while.

Of course, since Miss Guan showed such sincerity this time, there would be no point for Ma Xun to keep her hanging.

Ma Xun also admitted that such a beautiful woman was attractive enough.

Now that we've called it a day, let's just chat.

"Actually, I'm quite curious."

"What are you curious about?"

"Why did you come to Berlin? Did you just want to be with me..."

Ma Xun didn't need to finish what he said, Guan Zhilin certainly understood.

"You are so bad, but it's not entirely because of you."

When Guan Zhilin said this, she smiled gently, which was so stunningly beautiful.

It seemed that after this intense exercise, she seemed to be a few years younger.

Maybe this happens when people sweat too much.

Guan Zhilin then explained the reason for coming to Berlin.

"You, don't think that I can only rely on you to develop in the mainland. Not long ago, a very famous director invited me. He wants to shoot a super production. After several years of preparation, the funding and other aspects are already mature."

"Hmm? You're not going to mention the name of this famous director, right?"

"Hey, yeah, so you guess it."

"This..." Ma Xun really thought this riddle was fun.

However, if Guan Zhilin was facing someone else, this problem would be very difficult indeed, but for Ma Xun...it doesn't seem so simple either.

"Let me guess. I'm familiar with Zhang Yimou, so you shouldn't be invited. As for other big directors in Hong Kong, it seems that they rarely invite you. As for the others, Wu Yusen, Li An... who else?"

Ma Xun eliminated all the problems along the way and the answer was almost revealed.

Guan Zhilin said with a sweet laugh: "You must have guessed it!"

Ma Xun pretended to be hard to guess and said, "Could it be Brother Chen Kai? But, can he still be called a big director now?"

There is nothing wrong with what he said. The current Director Chen is referring to Chen Hong.

Well, even a rotten boat still has three pounds of nails. Brother Chen Kai’s previous "The Assassination of Qin" really caused him considerable damage.

But after this period of time, I think I have recovered.

In fact, this kind of thing can be viewed from another perspective, that is, Brother Chen Kai has a solid foundation after all.

There are quite a few people who depend on him for their livelihood. There are quite a lot of people in that entire team.

So, even if our Director Chen doesn't want to shoot it anymore, he has to shoot it. What's more, he was very unwilling to do so in the first place.

And in that case... could it be "The Promise"?
Wow, this huge bad movie is finally coming out!

Ma Xun was filled with emotion for a while, but he couldn't say the name "The Promise" now.

He had to say this, "Actually, I've heard about it before. It seems that Director Chen is planning to adapt a classic drama."

In fact, The Promise is an adaptation of Shakespeare's play Macbeth.

But, Brother Chen Kai is really speechless, and he kept saying it afterwards.

You didn’t understand… You didn’t understand… You didn’t…

Just like Xianglin Sao.

Isn't "The Promise" just a poorly adapted film of "Macbeth"?

The general met Manshen on his way back. In the original version, he met a witch.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with adapting Shakespeare's plays. Many great directors have adapted them, and some of them are particularly subversive, such as the modern adaptation of "Romeo and Juliet".

And Akira Kurosawa also adapted "Macbeth" into "Spider's Nest".

After filming this movie, he broke up with Toshiro Mifune because when they were shooting an archery scene, Kurosawa Akira didn't tell Toshiro Mifune and let him go ahead and shoot it directly.

When Toshiro Mifune reached the top of the city wall, arrows started shooting at him... No, these were real arrows!

The arrow was real, and the shooting was real. The frightened look on Toshiro Mifune's face at that time... That's right, Kurosawa Akira wanted him to have this expression, so he didn't tell him.

But no one could stand this, so they had a big fight and broke up.

Having said that, Brother Chen Kai is finally going to start doing this again.

I think they also filmed something like "Kill Me Gently" and... Oh, by the way, did they film "Diao Chan and Lu Bu"? Is it waiting to be released? But I think Sister Hong will not be in it.

"Diao Chan and Lu Bu" was later renamed "Butterflies Dancing Across the World".

This TV show is just awful.

But unexpectedly, Guan Zhilin said, "You know so much. The classic drama will be filmed later. Now we are planning to film a TV series. Director Chen wants me to play the leading female role, Diao Chan."

Huh? So you're on top!
Ma Xun wanted to laugh so hard after hearing this that he could hardly hold it back.

"What's wrong with you..." Guan Zhilin couldn't help but see.

Ma Xun was pretty good at holding back his laughter, and he smiled as he said, "Didn't he tell you that this TV series is a super-magic remake?"

"Isn't this... a story about the Three Kingdoms?" Guan Zhilin was even more surprised now, but she was also very happy in her heart because she was absolutely sure that she had bet on the right thing.

This guy Ma Xun is indeed a super boss in the mainland.

Only a big boss like this can see the script in advance.

"It's basically a story about the Three Kingdoms, but he changed it into a complete mess."

"But, this TV series seems to have a lot of investment..."

"That's right. Director Chen is famous enough, so there must be people willing to invest money in him."

What Ma Xun said is correct. In fact, this is the situation in the circle now.

The reason why many big directors value fame and awards is that they have no bottom line and will do anything for international film awards.

Because of these, it will attract investors to invest.

In the world of fame and fortune, fame and fortune are directly linked.

Of course Ma Xun doesn't have to care because he is an investor. However, winning some awards will definitely be beneficial to future development.

Just like Wang Xiaoshuai this time, by taking down this guy, Ma Xun will have his own people in some award judging aspects in the future.

Wang Xiaoshuai is also from the Beijing circle. In fact, the area where the Beijing circle has the most say is various domestic awards.

More than 20 years later, that little girl Li Gengxi, the movie was withdrawn twice and received a lot of bad reviews, but she still won the Best Actress award.

The key is to control the comments on the entire network, but actually, just a few complaints are enough for this movie.

How could a person who is truly seriously ill play around and cause trouble all day long like the characters in the movies?

Watch "Dying to Survive" and see what Wang Chuan-jun is like in the movie.

If the patient is still so energetic, is he still a patient?
Normally, if you have a fever or a cold, you might have to stay in bed for a few days.

Some people say that this is the roar from the Beijing circle, telling others that the Beijing circle is not dead yet and still has a say!
But on the other hand, it is not more than 20 years later now, so by winning over Wang Xiaoshuai, we can gain a certain voice in the Beijing circle.

Ma Xun can use the dividends for at least ten years.

Moreover, it’s not just Wang Xiaoshuai, he said it himself, there’s also Teacher Xie.

A Wang Xiaoshuai can lead a large number of people.

So, this deal is a good deal.

When Ma Xun thought of this, he suddenly thought of something else. "Director Chen is also in Berlin?"

"Of course."

In fact, this was the meaning behind Guan Zhilin’s words just now, but Ma Xun didn’t pay much attention to it.

But now I think...

"He may have some grudge against me."

"Huh? Really?"

When Guan Zhilin heard this, she understood immediately, but she understood the wrong direction.

"Don't worry, they are your people now, they will definitely not film Director Chen's movies."

This is a show of loyalty.

Ma Xun patted the tender tofu lightly as a reward for her, and then said: "There's nothing wrong with filming his drama. I always encourage my artists to take on outside dramas. It's all about making money."

Guan Zhilin was even happier, "As expected, Boss Ma is very open-minded."

This was already a continuous flattery, but Ma Xun then smiled and said: "But I also said that he might have a grudge against me. What to do at that time is up to you."

"Oh, I understand. I will tell you if there is any news."

Look, mining cards are also very useful.

Just one click.

Ma Xun didn't say much and rewarded her again.

However, it seems that I have a new enemy on this trip to Berlin.

Fuck! Who cares!
Brother Chen Kai is just a dog with a broken spine. Why should I be afraid of him?

……

Ma Xun actually guessed it right.

Almost at the same time, in a small cafe in Berlin.

Brother Chen Kai and his old friend Director Xie were chatting while drinking coffee.

"Teacher Xie, did Wang Xiaoshuai come to see you before?"

"Yes."

"His film..."

"I've seen it, it's pretty good."

"Teacher Xie, you are wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Teacher Xie, if he wins the award, what will you do? Aren't you siding with your own people? How will others view you?"

"Ah? Then am I still turning my elbow outward?"

"We should at least pay attention to how our friends in the international film industry view us."

"This……"

Director Xie is the fourth generation director, and Chen is the fifth generation. They have a master-disciple relationship.

Moreover, Director Xie is now the second-in-command of the directing department of Beijing Film Academy.

But now Brother Chen Kai wants to teach Director Xie how to do things?

The guy continued, "I heard that the movie '17 Years Old Bicycle' was changed. You must be more familiar with the reason for the change than I am. It is no longer an independent film. Its level has been downgraded."

His reason... is a bit weird.

But Director Xie didn't know what to say.

"Then what do you think I should do?"

"It's very simple. Isn't there a Taiwanese movie?"

Brother Chen Kai is a bit mean.

The movie he was talking about was Taiwan Province's "Love You Love Me".

The male lead is Zhang Zhen and the female lead is Li Xinjie.

Director Lin Zhengsheng is still a novice from a director's perspective, but he was an actor before and won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor.

But Director Xie just listened to it?

"Let me think about it."

"What are you thinking about? I'm doing this for your reputation."

"But we still have to watch the movie. The reason you gave is a little too..."

"Forget it, that's all I can say."

The two of them chatted, and that was it, Director Xie left.

Director Chen was left alone drinking coffee.

A smile appeared on this guy's face.

Anyway, he is here to cause trouble!
The reason is very simple. Didn’t Ma Xun publicly announce that he is Ma Bond at the Japanese Academy Awards?

After hearing the news, Chen Kai thought about it carefully and reviewed the previous events...

Ma Xun, Ma Xun, it turns out that it was you who ruined my good things!
When they get angry, they start to cause trouble.

This guy is really petty.

His ex-wife was right.

This is how the Berlin Film Festival becomes interesting.

……

After experiencing a night of mining cards.

Ma Xun just did whatever he was supposed to do.

Guan Zhilin was even happier, and she was full of confidence in developing her career in the mainland.

Of course, Ma Xun also directly promised that he would be able to star in movies and TV series soon.

Aren’t there “Fifty First Dates” and “The Return of the Condor Heroes”?

But, when Ma Xun saw Yuanyuan...

"What? Are you angry?"

"Humph!"

"What happened?"

"I say, can you guys be more careful? The noise is so loud, huh!"

So that’s what happened.

Ma Xun was a little embarrassed, but looking at Yuanyuan's expression, he probably wasn't too angry.

After all, there have been worse things happening before.

"How about I make it up to you?"

"You, you want to..." Yuanyuan blushed.

Ma Xun then smiled and said, "What are you thinking about? I mean, let's go to the movies."

Ah, it’s not about that...Yuanyuan was so embarrassed that she couldn’t suppress her shame.

"You are such a bad guy!"

Having said that, he still followed Ma Xun.

What are they both looking at?

"The Bicycle Seventeen Years Old".
