Chapter 298 160 Million! Meteor Garden and The Return of the Condor Heroes!
"Nightclub? Gao Yuanyuan's new film is set to challenge the Lunar New Year box office!"

"Golden Eagle Goddess Replaced at the Last Minute? Gao Yuanyuan's Selection as Goddess Questioned!"

"The Golden Eagle Awards have opened, and numerous TV drama production teams have gathered in Changsha..."

The creation of the first Golden Eagle Goddess has attracted widespread attention.

In fact, this goddess garnered even more attention than the Golden Eagle Awards.

Of course, the main reason is the birth of this Golden Eagle Goddess, which was accompanied by a huge scandal in the entertainment industry.

Zhao Daye's current situation is quite complicated. What happened to her after that stuff was splashed on her, and what will happen to her afterward?

There are far too many onlookers following this story.

To be fair, big eyes do have a lot of national recognition right now.

And this incident itself is not the kind of nonsensical event.

In fact, those familiar with the entertainment industry certainly know this.

Many such incidents have occurred abroad, where audience members rushed onto the stage and did some bizarre things.

For example, in Japan in the 80s, there was a very popular singer named Seiko Matsuda. During one of her performances, a man came up to her and hit her twice with a stick.

The man later admitted that he did this to become famous.

But the situation is different now.

That person could be considered a righteous man; he didn't say it was for fame, he just said he had no ulterior motives.

We all understand this purpose.

The media hasn't said anything directly yet, only making speculations or offering any related information.

So, a big piece of gossip followed, and this is the first time the Golden Eagle Goddess has been established.

Everyone originally thought that this goddess would be her, but unexpectedly, the Golden Eagle Goddess became Gao Yuanyuan.

And so... here it comes!
DaYan published a long article explaining the matter and apologizing.

She apologized?
Yes, she did apologize, and she even made a point of mentioning the incident involving clothing.

Many onlookers were initially confused, but they eventually understood.

Oh, so you knew what was going on yourself.

To put it bluntly, no one who can get to this position is a fool.

I was playing dumb before, but now I know I can't keep up the act anymore.

So he apologized.

Thus, many onlookers know that this juicy gossip ends here.

That's all over now; things will go back to normal as before.

This is the current situation in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Honestly, the current environment is relatively relaxed and more tolerant.

If many things happened later, these people would no longer exist in the entertainment industry.

Zhao Daye, you should thank the harmonious society; this society saved you.

However, she definitely wouldn't...

Let's not talk about her anymore.

The Golden Eagle Goddess became an instant sensation at the opening of this year's Golden Eagle Awards.

Gao Yuanyuan's golden battle robe has been frequently featured on various media outlets and has sparked numerous discussions on the internet.

"Yuanyuan is so beautiful!"

"Actually, Yuanyuan isn't the kind of person who's particularly beautiful, but her face is very pleasing to the eye."

"Who says it's not beautiful? I like it just the way it is!"

"Some people have analyzed that this is the face shape that men like."

"I especially love her shyness!"

Netizens were amazed, offering various analyses of Yuanyuan's appearance in addition to their discussions.

In short, while she might not be the most beautiful among them, Yuanyuan's face is certainly pleasing to the eye.

Of course, many more people noticed that movie.

"What kind of movie is 'Nightclub'?"

"No matter what this movie 'Nightclub' is like, I have to watch it if Yuanyuan is in it!"

"Yuanyuan, the female lead? This seems to be her first time playing a female lead, right?"

"Oh dear, you fake fan. She played the female lead in 'Beijing Bicycle' before."

"But it seems the male lead had more screen time in that movie, and Gong Li was also in it."

"That's right, that's exactly right. Yuanyuan was really just a pretty face in that movie."

Netizens, oh no, now we can say that many netizens have become fans of Yuanyuan.

However, the fan base is rather loose.

However, people have indeed developed a strong interest in the movie "Nightclub".

It has come to this point.

Ma Xun's promotional plan for the Lunar New Year film "Nightclub".

It's safe to say that this is a great start!
Moreover, the situation is not just good, it's extremely good!
But let's not forget that this year's Golden Eagle Awards mainly focuses on showcasing TV dramas, as well as the closing ceremony awards presentation.

This demonstration was still held at the Xiaoxiang factory.

However, the situation this year is much better than last year.

The most attention-grabbing thing was the TV series brought by Ma Xun.

One of them is the upcoming "Meteor Garden".

It must be admitted that this is really just a publicity stunt.

but!

There are also different ways to promote and distribute products. For example, Ma Xun's approach this time was very direct.

F4!

Everyone was present!

Goodness, this is really good.

The Golden Eagle Awards were already a lively event, and then the arrival of Taiwan's F4 made a big splash.

Fans who had received the news beforehand.

It's making a racket!
The sound reverberated through the sky, and many people at the scene fainted.

He must have been too excited.

But it doesn't matter, Ma Xun had made arrangements beforehand. After all, he had some experience from the last Golden Eagle Awards, and he definitely expected there would be more people this time than last time.

Large-scale events must have medical support.

So, nothing much happened.

Let's see how popular this event becomes.

It was absolutely packed with people.

The four members of F4 themselves had no idea that they were so popular in mainland China.

Indeed, they had never been here before.

Besides, the drama "Meteor Garden" didn't even come to mainland China.

But in reality, many people on the mainland have already seen this show.

But it's okay, many fans still love it.

To be honest, our domestic entertainment industry is indeed lagging behind in the realm of idol dramas.

Back when Teacher Cui Xinqin said she would take Xiaoming in as a student, she mentioned:
We lack idol-type actors now.

Actually, that's part of the point; we rarely have idol dramas like this.

Xiao Lu only filmed one movie this year, "Angel Causes Trouble".

However, in terms of the market...

We in mainland China also need idol dramas.

Now, here it is!
Ma Xun's strong push to import "Meteor Garden" was a brilliant move.

The key is this very scene right before our eyes...

Chai Zhiping and He Xiuqiong also arrived, and they saw the situation.

I'm so happy! Taiwan is really good at filming idol dramas.

From this perspective, the future seems to hold limitless possibilities!

This is really great!
Now, here comes the crucial part.

How much will the "Meteor Garden" series that Ma Xun imported be able to sell for?

Although, how much this costs has nothing to do with Chai Zhiping and He Xiuqiong.

Because Ma Xun bought out the rights to "Meteor Garden" a long time ago.

It was 1000 million RMB at the time.

Don't underestimate this amount of money; in Taiwan, it's close to 5000 million New Taiwan Dollars.

That's quite a high price.

However, the two of them were still very concerned about how much the film would sell.

This concerns the future.

"The bidding process is about to begin, isn't it?"

How exactly will he do it?

Chai Zhiping and He Xiuqiong exchanged a glance, and then walked towards a small conference room in Xiaoxiang Factory.

Xiaoxiang Factory was originally quite large, but now it's much smaller.

But at least there's still a foundation.

There are about twenty or thirty people in this small meeting.

Honestly, I didn't expect so many people to come at first.

Ma Xun was also somewhat surprised, but it didn't matter; he could handle it.

"Everyone, let's not waste any more time. Let me introduce the specifics of this drama, 'Meteor Garden'."

After it aired in Taiwan, the show achieved excellent results, and its ratings are currently the highest of the year.

And the four male leads, namely F4…

Ma Xun will now proceed with the process to introduce the situation to all advertising agents and advertisers.

He spoke very casually, because he already had enough experience.

In addition, most of those participating in this bidding process are old friends.

Basically, everyone who could come came.

Bai Xiaohang has done a lot of work before.

His brother Bai Daqing, as well as Yu Xiaosheng, General Manager Li, and especially Pu Shulin and Duan Yongping.

These are all very famous figures in our domestic advertising industry.

After all, Ma Xun really did an outstanding job at this year's Golden Eagle Awards.

As everyone can see, the Golden Eagle Goddess alone has sparked a heated discussion in the media and online.

Then there must be some great things to come.

This "Meteor Garden"... oh my, need I say more!
"Mr. Ma, no need for further introductions, let's get to the bidding process!"

"That's right! We knew about this show a long time ago, it's bound to be a huge hit!"

"That's it, I'll make the offer first..."

That's true, everyone's familiar with each other now, so we can talk much more casually.

Ma Xun was naturally happy to save himself a lot of trouble.

Unexpectedly, someone made a high-profile statement.

"Mr. Ma, how about this? I know you've already started producing the TV series 'The Return of the Condor Heroes.' Why don't we save some time and release both shows together?"

Two shows together?
Who is this!

Such a loud tone?

When everyone looked over, their previously angry expressions immediately wilted.

Yu Xiaosheng, with his old face, really looked no different from an old car repairman.

But the price this guy can ask for is truly beyond the reach of most people.

Ma Xun laughed, "Old Yu, how much money did you bring this time?"

This remark about Old Yu made Yu chuckle softly.

It's nothing; in Northeast China, this isn't considered offensive.

Once he leaves this house, I doubt many of the young people outside would realize that this man is actually one of the top billionaires in our country.

It's the super invisible kind.

He looks just like the old man repairing cars on the street...

So how much money did he actually bring?
"I'll give you my initial offer: 1 million! We can discuss the details later."

Asking for 1 million outright?

Regardless of whether the deal goes through or not, the key point is that this has instantly elevated the entire bidding process to a higher level!
It's the same principle as taking a taxi; everyone knows that a real price increase is actually raising the starting price.

Now the starting price has gone up all at once.

However, some people immediately started competing.

"One hundred million? That's nothing! That 'Legend of the Condor Heroes' series cost one hundred million! I'll offer one hundred and ten million!"

Mr. Li has such a commanding presence!

After all, Mr. Li has been deeply involved in the advertising industry for many years.

But that won't work either.

Immediately, someone offered 115 million.

This offer... obviously, at this point, it's impossible to offer much more.

But that's okay, here we go.

They are known for their fierce competition, and at most they might exchange a few words of criticism.

It's clear that everyone has high hopes for these two shows.

Ma Xun simply watched the scene with a smile.

But Chai Zhiping and He Xiuqiong were truly shocking.

The entertainment industry in mainland China is absolutely insane!
In fact, they all understand in their hearts that this is what the entertainment industry is all about!
There is no development in Taiwan Province.

The film and television industry is all about money.

Whoever has more money is the most powerful.

Just like Hollywood in the US, they just have money.

And so it is...

Actually, there was another person who was also shocked.

That's Li Xue.

She came here just to observe, of course, with Ma Xun's permission.

But now... it turns out Ma Xun's business is so big!

At this moment, Li Xue knew very well that the Wang brothers were no match for Ma Xun at all.

They even have differences in social class.

However, in the upcoming Lunar New Year film season... the Wong brothers do have the upper hand.

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