Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 293 A dirty trick? A dirty trick? The Lunar New Year film season kicks off early!
"Hey everyone, I'm Tianji, and I'm here to deliver a message. My boss, Mr. Zhou, has a suggestion..."

Tian Qiwen appeared at Huayi Company, where he was confronted by the Wang brothers and Qin Hong, among others.

He already had a somewhat sleazy appearance, and now he seemed extremely guilty.

The way he talks gives you the feeling that you really want to punch him.

However, the message was still conveyed.

That is, Stephen Chow plans to use this year's Lunar New Year film season to properly evaluate the strength of his partners.

in short……

"Ma Xun also made a Lunar New Year movie?"

Qin Hong asked the first question, clearly indicating that he was the most anxious.

Tian Qiwen smiled and nodded, "That's true. Moreover, I heard from Stephen Chow that Mr. Ma is very confident about this movie."

confidence?

The eldest son of the Wang family raised an eyebrow. "He doesn't actually think his movie can beat our 'Big Shot' film, does he?"

The second son of the Wang family quickly added, "It's Feng Xiaogang's latest New Year's film."

That's quite polite of you.

Tian Qiwen could only give an awkward laugh and said, "I'm just a messenger. I don't know much about other things. I don't know what tone Mr. Ma used when he said that."

Clearly, he didn't want to take responsibility.

In this way, the Wang brothers and Qin Hong understood.

"Mr. Tian, ​​what Stephen Chow means is that, based on the final box office results of this year's Lunar New Year film season..."

Qin Hong had just started to speak when Tian Qiwen interrupted him.

"It's an evaluation, meaning that we don't necessarily cooperate with whoever has the highest box office."

He emphasized it again, but nobody cared.

Qin Hong continued, "When it comes to movies, of course it's all about the box office. Whoever has the higher box office is the stronger company. Isn't that a very simple principle?"

"Okay, it's settled then. Go back and tell Stephen Chow that we'll definitely have a great time working together in the future."

Listen to these words; it's as if they've already won.

Tian Qiwen wanted to say something more, but the Wang brothers cooperated with Qin Hong again, leaving Tian Qiwen speechless.

In fact, Tian Qiwen has already adopted a very humble attitude. He was originally just a minor shareholder of Xinghui, but now he is facing big bosses from the mainland.

He really had to be extremely cautious.

But for now... never mind, the message has already been conveyed.

"In short, it all depends on this year's Lunar New Year film season."

The last sentence was left ambiguous, which made the bosses laugh.

Tian Qiwen didn't linger, forgetting about the dinner party, and hurried back to tell the two big bosses of 'Star Shine' about the matter.

As soon as he left, the Wang brothers and Qin Hong and others started discussing things.

Has something changed?

"I don't see any change. Ma Xun is just struggling for a bit."

"However, I've heard that the Weinstein brothers aren't exactly good people either."

After discussing it, the bosses were confident that there was no problem with their confidence.

Feng Xiaogang is absolutely a sure thing in the Lunar New Year film season.

Although Ma Xun had many films that performed very well at the box office, those were released in other time slots.

Qin Hong thought it over carefully before saying, "We are definitely going to win at the box office! And that guy Ma Xun must have used some tricks to cause this problem on Stephen Chow's end."

Goodness, this guy isn't even ashamed of what he said.

It was clearly you who wanted to steal it, but now you're portraying yourselves as victims.

It's similar to the tariffs imposed on the Golden Retriever later on.

But as soon as he started, the Wang brothers perked up.

"Exactly! Ma Xun is a scoundrel!"

"How about this? If he does it on the first day, we'll do it on the fifteenth!"

Do you make enough excuses for yourself before doing bad things?

These guys really have a set of tricks up their sleeves.

Qin Hong has now become the core figure of this small group, after all, his brother can provide a huge amount of funds.

Then let's follow his lead.

"Brother Qin, just tell us what to do, and we'll do it!"

“That’s right, Brother Qin is full of vigor and ambition, he’s the kind of person who’s going to do great things.”

The Wang brothers flattered Qin Hong so much that he became quite smug.

In fact, Qin Hui wanted to secure the opportunity to collaborate with Stephen Chow because he wanted to use it to do something big.

The Qin brothers plan to establish a cinema chain company in mainland China!
They have their own sources of information and know that the cinema system reform will be implemented soon.

If we seize this opportunity of reform, then making money in the future will be easy.

The money these brothers made was going to be siphoned off anyway, and the film industry is naturally prone to becoming that 'siphone'.

After a thorough cleansing, the money was transformed into a cinema chain company.

And by the time the movie "Kung Fu Hustle" was finished and released, their brothers' cinema company had just taken off.

Currently, cinema chains don't operate cinemas; rather, they collaborate with cinemas.

Using the movie "Kung Fu Hustle" to connect with cinemas is really brilliant!
The blockbuster movies are the ones we give to your theaters.

If you want to see Stephen Chow's movies, then you have to join our theater chain...

In this way, the two brothers' ambitions were realized.

They've already come up with names for the cinema chain.

Star magnesium.

Now that guy Ma Xun is causing trouble... Humph!

Qin Hong was actually even more ruthless than his brother, and immediately came up with a vicious plan.

"Brother Wang, gentlemen, let's call it a day."

Huh? It's over?

Okay then, let's end it here.

It's good that everyone dispersed; anyway, everyone heard the message that Tian Qiwen wanted to convey.

But after everyone left, Qin Hong didn't leave.

The Wang brothers immediately understood that their younger brother must have a brilliant plan!
Qin Hong didn't waste any time and said directly, "It seems that Ma Xun's movie is being filmed right now."

What does this mean?
The Wang brothers hadn't thought too much about it at the moment.

"Yes, I've heard about it."

"It looks like it was filmed somewhere on the outskirts of the city."

Upon hearing their response, Qin Hong smiled, a sinister smile playing on his lips.

"The Lunar New Year film season is just around the corner. Aren't Ma Xun and the others busy filming?"

How strange!

However, the Wang brothers understood.

"Brother, you mean..."

"Shall we go and cause trouble for the horse?"

Qin Hong's lips curled up as he said, "I've heard that there are some quite powerful people in the capital, and they seem to have a good relationship with Sun Donghai."

Now that things have come to this point, the Wang brothers understand completely!
"Fatty Zang!"

"That's him! Hehe... Let's sit back and watch the show!"

Qin Hong and the Wang brothers devised a plan.

A conspiracy is about to unfold!
……

"What? You mean, Qin Hong went to that guy's bar?"

"Yeah, and it seems like Sun Donghai is back."

"Keep an eye on it."

"clear."

Ma Xun's filming is going very smoothly. Our "Nightclub" project got right on track after Yuan Yuan came back.

Moreover, this movie wasn't difficult to begin with.

The setting is a supermarket; the only change of scenery would be the karaoke room inside the supermarket.

In addition, there are the actors' performances.

Needless to say, even Deng Zhuo is now quite capable.

In the original timeline, Deng Zhuo was quite a pity.

He had already made a name for himself in the film industry and had considerable box office appeal.

As a result, this guy went on variety shows... Variety shows make money, but his movie career flopped.

Deng Zhuo later really lost all his box office appeal and could only rely on others.

He's the kind of person who's done so many variety shows that no matter how hard he tries to perform in a movie, the audience will immediately think of that Running Man cast.

That said, Deng Zhuo is actually doing quite well these days.

His acting is definitely good; he portrayed a man with a crush quite well.
Since Deng Zhuo has no problem, then the others have even less of a problem.

Yuanyuan isn't responsible for the comedy; she just needs to play her role well.

In short, Gao Yuanyuan works part-time at a supermarket.

That's her role, but that's enough.

Huang Bo did indeed put in the effort.

When he arrived, he was dressed very greasy, having reportedly been eating fried chicken for over half a month straight.

Gaining weight naturally leads to becoming more greasy.

That's good. But right now, regarding the situation reported by Wang Changtian... Ma Xun pondered for a while.

Qin Hong went to find Fatty Zang... What was he going to do?
Fatty Zang may appear to be a rock musician, but he's a gangster boss behind the scenes.

Damn it! They're trying to sabotage me!

Having figured this out, Ma Xun smiled.

An idea came to mind.

……

"Friends, oh friends~"
Have you ever thought of me?
If you are enjoying happiness...

Fatty Zang's voice is indeed quite distinctive; it's very hoarse.

He sang this song with great feeling.

But singing is far from enough.

"Brother, everyone's been found."

"Then what are you waiting for? Get to work!"

"Alright! Just you wait and see!"

A few days ago, Fatty Zang was approached by Qin Hong.

Of course he knew who Qin Hong was.

He's Qin Hui's younger brother.

He, Fatty Zang, also sang at Heaven on Earth.

I originally thought Qin Hong might be planning to revive Heaven on Earth.

Unexpectedly, this guy said something quite unusual.

Find a few people, go to a film crew shooting a movie on the outskirts of the city, and cause trouble.

20 million.

This guy surnamed Qin is quite generous.

Zang Pangzi not only sings and is a gang leader, but he also owns a bar.

But although this guy is quite famous, he doesn't have much money... These days, singers are considered to be at the bottom of the entertainment industry.

Apart from those exceptionally talented ones like Sun Nan and Na Ying, many singers are just average.

Fatty Zang chose to locate his bar in Langfang... It's too expensive in Beijing, he can't afford it.

Therefore, 20 is no small amount.

Get this job done!

So he had his men find a few people.

Hmm, I heard they have some connections over there, so we need to be careful when we make a move.

Since Fatty Zang has already made the arrangements, let's continue singing.

……

Supermarket.

Everything is normal on set. If there's anything unusual, it's that Bai Xiaohang has arrived.

There's nothing special about his visit; he's been here a few times before.

Ma Xun naturally continued filming as usual.

Our "Nightclub" continues into the night.

Huang Bo is now a shop assistant, but he doesn't understand anything, so he has to ask Deng Zhuo for help.

And the two of them...

"Oh!"

“Who is it?!”

Suddenly, a few people appeared, cursing and swearing, and started attacking without saying a word.

Smash! Smash!
There were about seven or eight of them, and they were all holding steel pipes and other similar objects.

It can be said to be quite ferocious.

"Holy crap! I told you guys to take pictures!"

"Damn it! Who gave you permission to make a movie? Did you even ask us?"

"Don't you know the rules? Don't you know how to pay respects to superiors?!"

He was shouting and cursing at the same time as he was fighting.

The scene instantly descended into chaos.

Ma Xun and Bai Xiaohang were initially quite flustered, but they quickly formed a battle formation.

"Brothers! Where are you from? Aren't you going to ask who I am? And who is this guy?"

The situation stabilized slightly because, although these guys were arrogant and unreasonable, their actions were strange... mainly involving smashing equipment.

Those lights, those reflectors... people rarely get hurt.

Of course, their main goal was to get the camera.

With a snap...

The film magazine on the camera flew out!

That was pretty impressive.

Our crew currently has three cameras. This incident has likely damaged the equipment, and more importantly, the film is probably ruined.

At that moment, Ma Xun and Bai Xiaohang exchanged a glance.

"Damn it! What the hell!"

"Do it!"

These guys, who were smashing things up like gangsters, suddenly sensed something was wrong.

How did their numbers increase?

Moreover, some sharp-eyed guys noticed that the film canister that had just been launched seemed to be empty of film.

What's the situation?
……

Huayi Advertising Company.

"Okay!"

"That was a brilliant move!"

"Brothers Wang, what I specifically requested was that the equipment be smashed, especially the film!"

Qin Hong was smug, feeling that he had done a brilliant job.

Find Fatty Zang and have him send someone to cause trouble for Ma Xun's film crew.

Because of the tight schedule, as long as it delays the filming of Ma Xun's movie, it's fine.

Qin Hong and Fatty Zang knew that Ma Xun had connections, and also Bai Xiaohang.

Therefore, try not to hurt people, but mainly hurt the machines.

As long as the equipment used for filming is damaged, especially the film stock.

Therefore, Ma Xun's film will not be able to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday season.

We won!
I must say, this move is actually quite effective.

Anyone who isn't prepared will almost certainly fall victim!

The worst thing about this trick is... it's too underhanded!
But right now, Qin Hong doesn't care about any of that.

That's just how I am! What can you do about it?

From a certain perspective, this guy is somewhat clever, but also quite ruthless.

At this moment, Qin Hong estimated that Ma Xun's film crew must have suffered considerable damage.

With the two Wang brothers...

"Open some champagne?"

"Haha...Okay!"

This is time to celebrate!

Unexpectedly, the champagne cork flew out with a bang.

A phone call came in.

"Mr. Qin, well, you'd better bring those two from the Wang family with you as well."

"what happened?"

It was Fatty Zang, but Qin Hong felt something was off about it.

He couldn't accept it, but Fatty Zang directly made some harsh remarks.

"If you don't come over, I'll tell you everything!"

Who should I tell?
Could they be police officers?
Something went wrong!

Qin Hong exchanged a glance with the Wang brothers, this...

Actually, the Wang brothers didn't want to go, but they had no choice.

About two hours later.

Langfang.

Zang Pangzi Bar.

Qin Hong and the Wang brothers were stunned when they came in.

Because Fatty Zang wasn't in the bar, there was only one other person.

Ma Xun.

At this moment, Ma Xun was sitting on a large sofa, legs crossed, greeting the three guys.

"Gentlemen, stop standing there, let's have a proper talk."

What should I say?

In any case, Qin Hong and the Wang brothers both secretly felt that things were going badly.
