Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 292 Li Jiaxin's Pager, Yuanyuan Returns
This supermarket is unusual.

The landlady loves karaoke, so she set up a private karaoke room.

The equipment is quite professional, and most importantly, it has good sound insulation.

And so, this place naturally became a 'prison' for holding hostages.

Actually, this part of the movie is quite fun.

He Sanshui originally wanted to rob someone, but he found that there wasn't much money in the supermarket late at night.

What should I do?
He worked as a supermarket clerk, which meant that he would take whatever amount the supermarket could sell in one night.

This method works, but tonight's customers are just too bizarre.

In short, it was hilarious.

Right now, Ma Xun is alone in this karaoke room, facing a computer, constantly typing on the keyboard.

The screen displays:
"Boss, this was indeed our oversight."

"There's no need to blame yourself like that. Just get the job done."

"understand!"

"Let me add one more thing. This investigation will not be easy. There will probably be some risks, and it will be difficult to find out the truth. So, we will mainly try to find out indirectly, such as the whereabouts of those people. The key is to know how they usually act, whether they follow a pattern, and then suddenly one day, they break their usual pattern."

This is something you should definitely remember; I'm sure you understand the reasoning behind it.

"Yes, boss, I understand! Such a sudden change must mean something important has happened."

"Very good, you will be mainly in charge of things in the capital, otherwise, I estimate there won't be enough paparazzi."

"Boss, it's not that bad. Actually, our business in Shanghai is doing quite well."

"Oh, there are really that many people?"

"It's not that there are too many people, it's just that many people dream of getting rich overnight."

"Hehe...not bad, not bad. By the way, if you can arrange more, you might as well train them more in Hengdian."

"understand!"

They were chatting on QQ, and the other person was Wang Changtian.

Ma Xun naturally wanted to investigate the sudden change in Stephen Chow thoroughly.

Fortunately, they talked a lot during the meal.

Ma Xun spoke frankly and openly, of course.

You can talk to Stephen Chow directly about this year's Lunar New Year film competition; you can announce it publicly to Huayi Brothers.

Our film, "Nightclub," is going to have a showdown with their "Big Shot's Funeral"!

Even if it appears in the newspapers, there is no problem.

With Ma Xun having gone this far, Stephen Chow naturally sensed his confidence.

Moreover, from a cinematic perspective...

Ma Xun, as the boss, really understands movies better than those bosses at Huayi Brothers!
This is certainly an advantage.

But in the entertainment industry, the film and television industry, and the world of fame and fortune, no matter how much you know, it's useless; you still need real talent.

Fortunately, Ma Xun is quite capable.

Otherwise, Stephen Chow's business deal would probably have been snatched away this time.

As for this 'business'... well, it's Kung Fu!

Let's not talk about making money.

Ma Xunqi's rise to prominence was through managing Stephen Chow's "A Chinese Odyssey".

This film, "Kung Fu Hustle," was actually the last time Stephen Chow starred in a comedy film in the Stephen Chow style.

That's right, Ma Xun certainly knew that there was also "CJ7" in the original timeline.

However, anyone who has watched many Stephen Chow movies can tell the difference in the film "No. 7".

This is not a typical Stephen Chow-style comedy film.

It's a very tragic film in itself, and that alien creature... what if we removed that little thing?
"CJ7" will become a tragedy, a tragedy so terrible it's beyond description.

The father and son, who depended on each other for survival, disappeared from this world when they had nowhere else to turn.

Nobody will pay attention to them.

Is it even possible that the alien creature never actually existed, and that most of the movie's plot was simply the child's own imagination?

The child's father may have passed away long ago, and the child is about to die... Well, let's not over-interpret it.

Therefore, "Kung Fu Hustle" is the final comedy film by Stephen Chow!

And this movie is indeed outstanding.

That said, this film was not only a hit in China, but it was also a huge success overseas, and was even rated as the best action movie at the time by many countries.

Well… Ma Xun admitted that he wanted to close this deal because of the money.

Why not make money?

How can I let someone else snatch such a great business opportunity away from me!
Of course, Ma Xun was well aware of this as well.

In this industry, competing for business is all too common.

You want to make money, but others don't?
Let's grab it! Let's see how skilled we are.

Fortunately, Ma Xun still has an advantage and is very confident.

If we're just comparing box office numbers for our film "Nightclub," it probably won't beat "Big Shot's Funeral."

After all, we are latecomers.

Feng Xiaogang is still the king of the Lunar New Year film season.

Moreover, this is a low-budget film, originally made just to stir things up.

Now it's been upgraded, and it's not just about Stephen Chow; the addition of Soo-hyun was also an upgrade.

Have the strength to fight!
Ma Xun was certain of this, but since it was a war, the immediate priority was to "know yourself and know your enemy".

To gather intelligence, we must gather intelligence properly.

Wang Changtian is currently the CEO of Enlight Media, but in reality, he is Ma Xun's intelligence chief.

He originally worked in this field, so he had quite a few paparazzi under his command.

In addition, we also have the program "China Entertainment Report".

If we have any juicy gossip, we'll share it immediately!

This can be described as the head of the entire gossip industry chain in the entertainment sector.

Ma Xun was very pleased, but this time, it seemed that the intelligence was not quite there.

Wang Changtian has already apologized.

It's nothing, let's continue the investigation.

Moreover, Ma Xun also has his own information channels.

After ending his conversation with Wang Changtian, Ma Xun immediately opened his email.

Send an email to Rosamund Kwan.

Without beating around the bush, they went straight to inquiring about Huayi's movements.

You're the female lead in the movie "Big Shot's Funeral," you should know something about it, right? But Rosamund Kwan replied that she didn't know either.

Ma Xun couldn't help but get annoyed. Why was this slut so useless when it came to using him...?

However, Rosamund Kwan immediately sent another email.

"I know someone who might know some inside information."

It turns out that although Rosamund Kwan was the female lead in "Big Shot's Funeral," she actually didn't have a close relationship with Huayi Brothers.

To put it bluntly, let's just collaborate this once, and then we won't do it again.

Rosamund Kwan may be flamboyant, but she also has the aura of a goddess.

She may have been dating a rich man, but she herself had many admirers.

She has a very good grasp of this mindset.

She didn't know anything about Huayi Brothers since filming for "Big Shot's Funeral" was completed in June.

But who is the person she mentioned?

Not long after, Ma Xun's phone rang.

It turned out to be Li Jiaxin.

"Did Rosamund Kwan tell you?"

Ma Xun's words were somewhat superfluous, but he had no choice but to say them.

Li Jiaxin chuckled on the other end of the phone, "You want to know about Huayi? Hehe... I don't know them very well, but something has happened recently."

"What is it?" It has to be said that Li Jiaxin successfully aroused Ma Xun's curiosity.

Fortunately, she didn't keep us in suspense.

"You wouldn't believe it, hehe... Qin Hui even sent me a message from America. This guy still hasn't given up. He even hopes I'll go to America to meet him."

What a fool!

Upon hearing this news, Ma Xun was indeed somewhat dumbfounded.

However, Li Jiaxin is clearly enjoying this very much.

As for her charm, this is enough to prove that she is a great beauty.

Li Jiaxin was unaware of Ma Xun's bewilderment, but that's what he said on the phone.

"Don't go!"

A very strong order.

Just from that one sentence, Li Jiaxin felt as if her whole body went limp.

"My Lord Horse, you are amazing."

Next, the beautiful woman told everyone she knew.

It mainly refers to the capital operations that Qin Hui remotely controlled in Hong Kong from the United States.

Of course, Li Jiaxin didn't know everything, but she mentioned a few companies.

Upon hearing this, Ma Xun couldn't help but rub his temples.

According to the original timeline, Qin Hui did not actually flee overseas in the last two years.

It will be several more years, and this series of capital operations were indeed carried out by him after he arrived in the United States.

There are many different kinds of gossip here, and the variations are numerous.

Our main focus is on culture.

However, from a financial perspective... this has been analyzed by professionals.

All the listed companies that Qin Hui acquired were garbage!

His actions were downright idiotic.

So, what about thinking about it the other way around?

Is he stupid? Is he mentally challenged?

No, there must be another purpose.

Ma Xun had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Qin Hui's money certainly wasn't obtained through honest means.

It should be one round of water, or several rounds.

Now, back to the present, it means that Qin Hong is the one who is strongly advocating for taking over "Kung Fu Hustle".

The money they got certainly didn't come from any legitimate source!
With this in mind... Ma Xun felt more at ease.

In this battle for "Kung Fu Hustle," I am now in an unassailable position!
But Li Jiaxin had no idea what Ma Xun was thinking. After she told him what she knew, she... really wanted to.

"Prince Ma, my good prince."

Why does this beautiful woman also like to be called that?

Because it has three eyes? One of them is a horse...

Fine, I'll grant her wish.

Do you still have a pager?

As soon as Ma Xun said this, Li Jiaxin immediately understood.

Soon, Ma Xun took out another phone and dialed a number.

On the other end of the phone, Li Jiaxin was incredibly seductive.

Ma Xun's performance room is actually very safe.

Such a beautiful woman, just like that...

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of his karaoke room.

"Who?"

When Ma Xun went out, he discovered that it was Yuan Yuan.

"I... I've finished filming my scenes over there."

In "Hero", Yuanyuan was just a maid, and her role was actually quite small.

Besides, this time "Nightclub" is the key, so of course she rushed back quickly.

Moreover, Yuanyuan even changed into the supermarket's work uniform.

What Ma Xun saw was Yuan Yuan's delicate body wrapped in oversized work clothes.

Just like college students working part-time.

Without realizing it, he lightly kissed her.

Yuanyuan was also instantly captivated; it had been a long time since she had been with Ma Xun.

But then, they suddenly separated again.

"We're filming a movie."

Yes, Ma Xun has principles and doesn't mess around on set.

But Yuanyuan smiled, thinking to herself: One day I'll make you break this principle!
