Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 290 Wang Yuxian Joins "Nightclub"! Peter Ma Makes "Terror Live Broadcast"!
That's why they say professionals should do professional things.

That Mr. Ximen is quite the schemer!

There's nothing to rely on except for that little bit of support.

As a result, Hsin-Hsien was completely controlled by Ma Xun.

However, this is also a test for Ma Xun.

There have been times before when people played with pretty girls under the grape trellis, but the girls in those games were all petite and light-bodied.

With her large frame, Yu-hyun has gained weight after having a child.

Ma Xun is under a lot of pressure.

In particular, in ancient times, one shichen was two hours.

How many hours was it for Master Ximen back then?

Practice has shown that novels can sometimes be quite absurd.

Regardless, Soo-hyun is quite satisfied.

When he came down, his legs were shaking violently and he could not stand steadily.

Yet her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, inspiring contemplation.

Ma Xun was also somewhat exhausted, but he was still able to hold on.

Afterwards, the two went back to bed and became very affectionate.

"I took on the role in 'Peony Pavilion' privately..."

"No need to say more, I'm not that petty, it's just acting."

"When I first read the script, I thought it was pretty good, and it also starred Rie Miyazawa."

"Are you after her?"

"I've always thought she's a great actress, and since we had this opportunity, I thought we could have a friendly exchange."

"Rubbing? Not grinding?"

"Oh dear, what are you thinking about?"

"I wasn't thinking anything, you're the one overthinking it."

"You're so naughty~"

Their flirting is really quite amusing.

Ma Xun was also familiar with "The Peony Pavilion," and the two actresses, Rie Miyazawa and Wang Yuxian, were truly vying for attention.

It is pleasing to the eye.

When I think of actress Rie Miyazawa, I can't help but think of her bizarre upbringing and her mother, who can be described as a toxic mother.

Rie Miyazawa seems to have become famous when she was thirteen or fourteen years old. She filmed a commercial and was called an "Amanto" in Japan.

What "beautiful girl from thousands of years ago"... That's right, this trope wasn't first used by someone later; it was actually Rie Miyazawa who started it.

There's another interesting title... Japanese King Yu-hsien.

Presumably, that's why Soo-hyun wanted to collaborate with her to see whether the Japanese Soo-hyun or the real Soo-hyun was more beautiful.

But actually, Rie Miyazawa is the same age as Ma Xun.

After she debuted, she was manipulated by her eccentric mother.

The most baffling piece of gossip is that Rie Miyazawa was sent to Takeshi Kitano's room at a very young age.

Takeshi Kitano is a real scoundrel, but he's not a womanizer. He immediately refused and even scolded Kitano's mother, Mitsuko.

But this matter... was reported to the media by Guangzi, the mother.

After that, she let her daughter and herself go even further, and that photobook that Kishin Shinoyama took for Rie Miyazawa.

First, it holds the record for the highest sales volume in Japanese history, a record that no one could break even in the era when Ma Xun traveled to.

But later, he ruined his daughter's good marriage. She was about to get married when this Guangzi messed it up again.

At this point, Rie Miyazawa truly couldn't hold back anymore and chose to commit suicide.

But luckily, he didn't die.

But she changed completely. She used to be a little chubby, but after her suicide attempt, she became skin and bones.

Surprisingly, despite being treated this way by her mother, Rie Miyazawa's relationship with her mother remains unchanged.

Her choice...

Thinking of Rie Miyazawa?

"Oh, there are some."

Xu Xian's question caught Ma Xun off guard, but he did not lie.

This naturally earned him a glare from Soo-hyun, who also pinched him on the spot.

Ma Xun just smiled and said, "I'm sure, the Japanese Wang Xuxian is not as good as the real Wang Xuxian."

Beautiful women all enjoy being praised for their beauty.

Wang Yuxian felt the same way; she felt warm inside and was very pleased.

"You know how to talk."

"I'm not just good at talking, I can also make movies to some extent."

Upon hearing Ma Xun's words, Xu Xian laughed.

She could tell that Ma Xun wanted to 'talk about Ma Xun's movies' with her.

This is definitely not just a casual chat; there must be something planned.

"Yes, you are quite good at making movies, and you make them very well."

"Yu-hyun, you're saying this so sweetly, do you have a ulterior motive?"

"You already know it, do I need to explain?"

"However, this role is quite special; it seems like you've never played one before."

"Really? I don't believe it."

"Well, my movie is called 'Nightclub'..."

Ma Xun has never been one to hold back with Yu Xian, and he directly told her about the movie "Nightclub".

He first gave a brief overview of the film, but then, instead of immediately mentioning what role he hoped Soo-hyun would play, he talked about the significance of the film.

"...Although I was still very successful this summer, there was actually a group of people who sabotaged my efforts..."

My brother's "Rush Hour 2" wasn't originally scheduled for this release window, but someone interfered and moved it to this time...

I understood what they meant, but at that point, the die was cast, and I had no choice but to play along...

The final result was not bad. My brother's movie clearly had some problems, not only in mainland China, but also in Hong Kong...

But how can I let others bully me like this?
This year's Lunar New Year film season, I'm definitely going to teach them a lesson!

After saying this, Soo-hyun gave a thumbs up, "That's exactly how it should be!"

However, after praising it, she added, "But there is always conflict in this world."

These words are consistent with her personality; she had originally intended to spend the rest of her life in seclusion, reciting Buddhist scriptures and chanting.

This conflict is something we should avoid at all costs.

Ma Xun naturally understood, but how could he bear to see such a beauty treated as she was in the original timeline?
He then grabbed Yu-hsien's hand and said, "My partner has also invited a famous Hong Kong actress this time."

As soon as he said that, Yu-Hsien immediately understood.

"Rosamund Kwan? That slut."

The following sentence is quite powerful.

Clearly, there had been plenty of open and covert struggles in the past.

Interestingly, it seems that So-Hsien and Rosamund Kwan only collaborated on one film, "The Banquet".

This film was made by a group of Hong Kong stars to raise funds for disaster relief. That year, mainland China was hit by a major flood.

The two women don't seem to have much interaction, but the Hong Kong media always compares them.

Ma Xun said this on purpose, which naturally aroused Xu Xian's competitive spirit.

"Okay! I'll play any role! I'll definitely help you this time!"

Hearing her words, Ma Xun was naturally pleased.

So, let's talk about this character properly.

"The supermarket owner."

"Huh? Isn't this... a bit too bad?"

"Not bad, just unreasonable, and likes to go to karaoke. Also, if you're going to act in this, do you remember a certain comedy movie you acted in before?"

As soon as he heard it, Soo-hyun knew which movie he was referring to.

"The Eagle Shooting Heroes? Okay, so you want me to play Wang Yuxian?"

She laughed as soon as she said that.

That's right, we can use this movie, "Nightclub," to make some references.

Wang Yuxian's performance in the TV series "East Meets West" was truly remarkable.

Especially the scene where she impersonates Wang Xuxian late at night.

It's hilarious.

Of course, there's also the one that's 'I can't even think about it'!
It is certain that at this time, Soo-hyun had no idea that more than 20 years later, her joke would become a law.

Our version is really ahead of schedule.

Then, Ma Xun told Yu Xian a lot about the characteristics of this character.

Not only does she enjoy singing karaoke, but she also owns a rather expensive dog.

In short, this proprietress was extremely unreasonable, but in the end... she ended up getting together with He Sanshui in the original timeline.

But what about our version?
After all, there's a significant difference in appearance between Yu-Hsien and Huang Bo.

But Yu Xian had already foreseen this ending: "The boss's wife should be with He Sanshui."

Ma Xun laughed. "Why do you think that?"

"That's interesting."

That's a great answer!

Actually, movies aren't always that complicated.

This is a comedy film, although it can be described as a dark comedy, but it will still make the audience laugh in the end.

Therefore, making things interesting is the direction we should strive for.

"Okay! Let's film it this way, making it fun."

Hearing this, He Xian was very happy, and at this moment, she no longer had any thoughts of escaping the world.

Ma Xun did this on purpose, didn't he?

Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, if Soo-hyun joins the team...

Therefore, the movie "Nightclub" has been upgraded directly from a low-budget film!
Your film "Big Shot's Funeral" is about Zhilin.

Our show "Nightclub" features Wang Xuxian!
That is to say, they now have the confidence to challenge others!

When the Lunar New Year film season comes around at the end of the year, we'll definitely be able to become a qualified disruptor.

However, after confirming his participation in the film "Nightclub", Soo-hyun seemed to fall into deep thought.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I...it's nothing." "You can't even lie properly. You're probably thinking about your time with Rosamund Kwan in Hong Kong, aren't you?"

"You're really clever; nothing can be hidden from you."

That's right, even if he doesn't join "Nightclub" this time, Yu-Hsien will still be competing against Rosamund Kwan.

This situation seems to be a return to the past.

"It seems like that era of Hong Kong cinema is gone forever."

Soo-hyun's words were tinged with doubt.

Ma Xun was rather ruthless; he said, "That's right."

But then he added, "How about I test you?"

Suhyun became interested and replied with a smile, "Yes, I wouldn't dare say I'm exceptionally intelligent, but I'm definitely not stupid either."

She looked as if she had returned to the bright and cheerful girl she was in her early twenties.

Ma Xun really wanted to sleep with her.

But for now, let's still take the exam.

Q: What's the difference between memories and a maze?

This is a strange question. He frowned and thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a solution.

"These two things are unrelated, aren't they? Aren't they very different?"

What she said does make sense.

But Ma Xun gave her the answer directly: "The maze has an exit, but memories do not."

This statement may not have any philosophical meaning, but at this moment, it directly touched Suhyun's heart.

Yes, the golden age of Hong Kong cinema has passed.

If you keep getting caught up in memories, you'll only end up in a maze with no way out.

Let bygones be bygones.

At this moment, Hyun finally understood.

And she came to a realization.

He took the initiative to kiss Ma Xun.

Ma Xun naturally responded.

This time, let's not hang them on the grape trellis.

……

With Wang Xuxian joining the team.

Ma Xun is more confident now, and our film "Nightclub" should enter the standard preparation stage.

After absorbing Deng Zhuo and his group, our film crew is now quite well-staffed.

The next step is to choose a supermarket.

They'll definitely be looking around Beijing.

These are all easy to handle.

But don't forget, Ma Xun also had a movie project planned before.

The Terror Live!
This film is actually the one with the most profound meaning.

However, after careful consideration, Ma Xun realized that he had to treat this film with great care.

First of all, such a film carries the risk of being censored.

Okay, this review process does have a certain 'time factor'.

In the past few years, there have been quite a few anti-corruption films and television dramas in mainland China.

Especially that movie, "Life and Death Choice," which grossed over 100 million yuan.

In other words, in this day and age, there is nothing inherently wrong with dramas about anti-corruption.

Filming, review, and everything else—no problem.

But later... to be honest, Ma Xun didn't know the exact time either.

Then, for a long time, this type of product simply disappeared.

And when did it happen again...?

It was a huge success at the time.

In fact, it can also be seen as a relief that there haven't been any shows like this for a long time, and now that there are again, the audience feels that it's good.

That said, Ma Xun's upcoming film, "The Terror Live," may face censorship risks.

In that case, we need to come up with some solutions.

Ma Xun immediately thought of a few questions.

First, according to his requirements, this movie should be filmed in about two to three years.

Because this is roughly the time when the incident will break out. It's easy to estimate, since it's a demolition project, and such a big event takes at least two or three years to develop.

Therefore, the filming of our movie will have to be slow and drawn out.

Who takes their time making movies?
Wang Xiaoshuai!
With that in mind, Ma Xun went straight to this guy.

They arranged to meet at a teahouse.

"Director Wang, I've written a notebook here, take a look."

"Oh, Mr. Ma, you've got another inspiration."

Wang Xiaoshuai is currently riding high, but he hasn't given much thought to his new film.

The previous film, "Beijing Bicycle," was a huge success, so it's time to enjoy it.

Anyway, it will take him at least one or two years to make a movie.

But now that he'd received the script and looked at it... Wang Xiaoshuai's eyes widened in surprise.

This story is so captivating!
For the current version of "The Terror Live", Ma Xun has only written a simple outline.

However, when a streamer encounters such a situation, the tension and suspense are incredibly strong.

The people around him died right in front of him!
Then, there's this case within a case...

Wow, this... Mr. Ma Xun, you're amazing!

Wang Xiaoshuai was even a little jealous, but now that he was already under Boss Ma's control, he could only secretly rejoice.

Such a capable person is my boss, of course I should be happy.

However, it is still just a story outline.

"Do you think this streamer is male or female?"

Ma Xun's question is really quite insightful!
Now that we're in charge of filming, we can easily change the original male lead to the female lead.

That's what Ma Xun told Zou Tao back then.

Right now, Ma Xun is testing Wang Xiaoshuai.

"Hmm... a woman is good!" Wang Xiaoshuai seemed to have a good understanding of Ma Xun's character.

Ahem, many people in the industry know that Mr. Ma has even more female celebrities under his wing.

Ma Xun nodded, but now he had a choice.

Who do you think would be suitable for the role?

"This... is hard to explain in a short time."

Wang Xiaoshuai showed that he was quite clever.

With so many female celebrities around, you'll naturally have the final say on who gets to choose!

Ma Xun had actually already made his plans.

The two main candidates.

One is Bingbing, and the other is Lin Chih-ling.

They are both really well-suited to be anchors for this TV station.

First of all, Bingbing starred in "Cellphone" in the original timeline.

This movie is clearly targeting Cui Yongyuan, and Bingbing's character in the film ends up becoming the host of that TV program.

Bingbing does have that feeling.

Secondly, Lin Chih-ling also has her merits, namely her dignified demeanor.

Or to put it bluntly, he's too pretentious.

And this feeling also fits the role of a live streamer.

When facing a large audience, you have to maintain a certain air.

But there's no rush right now.

The real key issue is...

"Director Wang, let me ask you, do you think this story could happen in our country?"

This question almost made Wang Xiaoshuai's glasses fall off!

Right!

It's very complicated since it happened in our country.

There will definitely be problems with the review process.

So……

"Let's set it in Southeast Asia! Like Thailand! There are actually quite a few Chinese people there, so we can simply set the background like that, and the anchor can be an anchor from a Chinese TV station."

Or, it could be Malaysia!

Wang Xiaoshuai is indeed quite clever; he figured out the background setting himself.

Ma Xun laughed heartily. He had just been testing this guy to see how quick-witted he was.

Looking at it now, it seems we can entrust this film to him.

"You should start preparing for this film now. I'll give you ten million in investment. I don't have any requirements on the shooting time. As for the rest, you'd better improve the script yourself and then show it to me."

"understand!"

Wang Xiaoshuai had a feeling that this movie was not simple.

However, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

This is exactly the effect Ma Xun wanted.

However, regarding this script...

"Mr. Ma, aren't you going to sign your name?"

That's a good question.

After listening, Ma Xun thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's use a pen name this time. How about 'Peter Ma'? What do you think?"

Without a second thought, Wang Xiaoshuai exclaimed, "Fantastic! Mr. Ma is truly talented!"

But after he finished saying that... um?

Peter Ma?
Is this definitely not an insult?

Got it, this movie "The Terror Live" is probably trying to criticize someone!
