Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 29 "Transformers" is free, but Transformers are not free!

"Liu Lili, you know this, right?"

"Yes, she is so famous."

"Then why did you look like that just now?"

"Oh, I just think that such a famous director is filming this movie. It seems that Aunt Qiong Yao attaches great importance to this movie."

"Of course..."

Ma Xun's surprised expression did not escape Ye Quanzhen's eyes.

Fortunately, this guy got away with it.

There's no way around it. With this choice of director, it would be strange if Ma Xun wasn't surprised.

Shouldn't Uncle Sun be the one accompanying him?

I won't remember it wrongly.

Let’s talk about Liu Lili.

She has a very prominent background.

Liu Lili is the most famous female director in Taiwan Province.

I started working with Qiong Yao a long time ago.

"Misty Rain", "A Few Sunsets", "By the Waterside", etc.

Her most recent collaboration with Qiong Yao was "Three Variations on Plum Blossoms".

"The Plum Blossom Mark", "Ghost Husband", "Between Water and Clouds".

Sister Hong starred in the last one.

All three films caused quite a stir at the time.

The Howling Emperor and De Jong starred in three films in a row, and their popularity reached its peak.

The directors of these three films all use Shen Yi's name, but they are actually master and apprentice.

After that, Shen Yi also filmed the movie "A Dream of Red Mansions".

Famous meme: You only lost a leg, but she lost her love!!!

To be honest, Ma Xun really finds it difficult to agree with the values of Qiong Yao's dramas.

But, there is no way.

This year is hot.

Every movie he made was a hit, even during its peak period.

The time period when the TV series is broadcast is the time when mainland families are the most harmonious.

Because the wives are all wiping their tears and have no time to quarrel.

Such popularity represents huge success.

Liu Lili and Shen Yi, the master and apprentice, are a golden pair with Qiong Yao.

From this perspective, "Return of the Pearl" should indeed be filmed by them, the master and the apprentice.

But Ma Xun was definitely not mistaken, the director of this play was...

"Ah Zhen, have you heard of a director named Sun Shupei?"

"Him? Why did you mention him?"

"I saw his name in Justice Bao, and it seems he also filmed a movie with Liu Lili. Is he not in this movie?"

Ye Quan really didn't doubt it, and thought about it carefully before answering, "Maybe, but I really haven't heard of it."

This answer is sufficient.

Ma Xun thought again that there were many cast changes in "Return of the Condor Heroes".

That Li Tingyi.

He even wrote a special article about the later role change of Qiong Yao.

Interestingly, there is something special in the article.

It is said that.

Qiong Yao had never been to the mainland, so she just heard everything from hearsay.

Then who did she listen to?
Suddenly, Ma Xun laughed, he figured out the whole thing!
"Ah Zhen, I think there are many things we can do."

"Ah? How? You mean, I go and get a role?"

Ye Quanzhen is just an actor after all, and this is probably all she can think of.

And, there’s a problem with this.

"But Aunt June doesn't like me at all."

She is quite honest.

Ma Xun remembered that Ye Quanzhen was later mistakenly believed to have starred in a Qiong Yao drama.

It was a TV series called "The Spring of Kapok".

In fact, this play has nothing to do with Joan of Arc.

At most, it can be considered to have the style of Qiong Yao.

"Who told you to film this movie?"

"Huh? What do you mean..."

"The one we are connecting with on the mainland is a TV station, right?"

"It seems to be a Hunan TV station."

"The economic channel counts as Channel 2."

"Yes, that's it. Oh, why did you mention this TV station?"

"Let me ask you, what is the purpose of TV stations making TV dramas?"

"Well, for ratings?"

Ye Quanzhen looks a little silly and cute as he’s trying hard to think.

Ma Xun smiled and said, "Actually, it's to have a show to broadcast."

That is to create 'content'.

After he said that, Ye Quanzhen nodded naturally.

Ma Xun continued, "The leader of the economic channel, as I recall, was Ouyang Changlin, a man with a very enterprising spirit and the courage to reform.

He has made the Economic Channel very successful, so if we can produce more good programs, he will definitely support it.”

This... is so strange.

"Ma Xun, what exactly do you want me to do?"

It was clearly written on Ye Quanzhen's face: Hurry up and speak.

Ma Xun had no choice but to laugh and said, "We're going to organize a talent show. This talent show is to select actors for the play Return of the Pearl."

He said it very casually, but Ye Quanzhen frowned after hearing it. "This program... has never been done before, and what if the selected actors don't meet the director's expectations?"

Ye Quan was really right, it had never happened before.

To be exact, talent shows existed before.

Many people regard the "Youth Song Contest" as the ancestor of our domestic talent shows.

Of course, this is somewhat controversial.

But, it is a talent show to select actors for a film or TV series.

Indeed, there isn't.

However, Ma Xun knew that it would happen soon.

That 'Happy Girl' talent show.

There are so many big scandals in this talent show.

We all know that Dong Jie was chosen in the end, but there was one missed gem.

White Lily.

But in fact, there is another girl who is the real happy girl.

She participated in a talent show and told Zhang Yimou a few months later that she was pregnant.

Later she became the wife of the imperial teacher.

Lao Mouzi, Lao Mouzi, you have wrinkles all over your face, but you are not that honest.

Let’s not talk about him for now.

Now facing Ye Quanzhen's question, Ma Xunxian asked back.

"Ah Zhen, are you mine?"

Only my people will tell you what you should do.

When Ye Quanzhen heard this, she grabbed Ma Xun's hand and reached under his shirt.

"I've been yours for a long time."

She wasn't lying, but before... he was driving and you were playing like that, that was too much!

Ma found the answer, and felt the softness and warmth of her lower abdomen with his hands.

“Okay, then I’ll tell you.

A talent show is just a show.

The actors can be determined in advance, and then in the show, you can just let the actor you want become the final winner.

What’s so difficult about this?”

Ye Quanzhen understood it immediately, "Actually, it's possible to do this..."

As for behind-the-scenes manipulation, it is very common. The Miss Hong Kong and Miss Asia beauty pageants were just like that.

Ma Xun went on to say: "This time, the talent show must not meet the director's expectations."

This is so strange!

"why?"

"Master and apprentice Liu Lili and Shen Yi have been working with Qiong Yao for many years. You may have heard a saying.

"Your achievements are so great that they shock your master!"

Ye Quanzhen understood instantly, "Then, Emperor Jianwen is..."

Yes, she could think of this historical figure.

Ma Xun gave a name.

"He Xiuqiong!"

"This..." Ye Quan was stunned.

It was her...

But, at this moment, Ye Quanzhen also figured it out.

If He Xiuqiong wants to get to the top, she must kill Liu Lili and his apprentice.

Otherwise she has no real power at all.

Ma Xun continued, "I know Qiong Yao looks down on you, but her daughter-in-law may not. You should build a good relationship with He Xiuqiong. When she is in trouble, tell her about this talent show. I believe she will gladly accept it."

Ye Quanzhen nodded and said, "Use this talent show to legitimately drive away Master Liu Lili and his apprentice."

"Yes."

But, there is still a problem.

"How are we going to do this show? It must cost a lot of money, right? Who is going to do it?"

Hearing this, Ma Xun couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Didn't I just tell you about Director Ouyang?"

Ye Quanzhen nodded again, but she still didn't understand.

Ma Xun had no choice but to say, "Director Ouyang is a very courageous person. If He Xiuqiong proposes a talent show, the director will definitely consider it.

But what if the show itself doesn’t cost them money?

I believe that Minister Ouyang will definitely agree to it.”

what?
"No money?" Ye Quan was dumbfounded. She really couldn't understand how to make a show without spending money.

But Ma Xun smiled and said, "We will do this program. You will be responsible for the actual work and I will give you advice. As for the program production costs, we will pay for them.

He Xiuqiong doesn't spend money, and Director Ouyang doesn't spend money, so how could they not agree? "

That's true...but!
"But what about us? Aren't we at a loss?"

Seeing Ye Quanzhen's anxious look, Ma Xun couldn't help but gave her a kiss.

It made people blush.

And then, Ma Xun told a short story.

"In 1987, Hasbro, an American company, donated a 95-episode cartoon to Shanghai Television for free.

This cartoon is "Transformers".

After the cartoon was broadcast, Hasbro's Transformers toys were in short supply in our mainland."

Ye Quanzhen finally understood everything!

Ma Xun was afraid that she didn't understand, so he added, "We don't want any money for the program itself, but the advertisements within the program must be ours. I believe Director Ouyang will agree to it.

If he doesn’t agree…”

Before Ma Xun finished speaking, Ye Quanzhen answered first.

"He Xiuqiong will convince him!"

Very good, this cold beauty is quite smart...
