Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 312 Bingbing's Ambitions Are Big? Watching the Spring Festival Gala, Zou Tao is There Again!

Sunshine, beach.

A group of people laughing and joking.

Although the Spring Festival is approaching, Sanya is becoming increasingly lively.

Ma Xun and Ye Quanzhen strolled on the beach.

She was wearing a simple dress, a white straw hat, and carrying sandals in her hand.

"She's not young at all, but she acts like a little girl."

Ma Xun's words have some merit.

Ye Quanzhen was naturally delighted to hear this, and her smile grew even brighter.

"You're really good with words."

Ma Xun's words just now were actually from the bottom of his heart. He didn't describe it in an excessive way. The woman in front of him really didn't look her age.

"I'm not speaking eloquently, I'm just stating a normal statement."

With another sentence, Ye Quanzhen was overjoyed.

"Oh dear, let's talk about casting."

"Okay, so you mean..."

"Bingbing really wants to get this leading role."

Ye Quanzhen's statement was exactly what Ma Xun had expected.

Overall, the drama "Love Through Time" highlights a 'creativity'.

While time-travel dramas may not be considered the originators, they do feature stories set in the late Hongwu period, up until Zhu Yunwen was overthrown by his uncle.

In Ma Xun's memory, there really wasn't one before.

Moreover, judging from the original TV series, the production was actually quite rough.

Looking back at the footage, it's immediately clear that the production crew really didn't have much money.

In terms of costumes, props, and sets, it's about the average level of Hengdian stores.

Actually, the original version can be considered the pioneering work of Zhouyi Company. It was made by the Pumpkin Couple after the success of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Ultimately, they didn't have much money, and the production team for this film was mainly from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Because of a lack of funds, the Hong Kong and Taiwan crew they hired were of average quality and not very well-known.

The female lead, Mou Ting, was just an average celebrity in Hong Kong and Taiwan before.

She initially gained some fame through the TV series "The Emperor Qianlong's Adventures".

This show is incredibly popular in mainland China.

Zhao Yazhi was indeed impressive in this drama, although her performance made us, the audience, think that Emperor Qianlong probably had poor eyesight.

Aren't they all the same kind of girl?
How come you don't recognize me?

Actually, Jiang Shuna is also in this drama. She has an older sister, Jiang Hui (Jiang Shuhui).

They are sisters, both incredibly talented singers who are very famous in Taiwan.

She started singing on the street and rose to become a big star.

Let's not talk about that anymore. We absolutely cannot choose that woman, Mou Ting, this time.

Ma Xun didn't want to get involved in her later case.

Hearing Ye Quan mention Bingbing put Ma Xun in a difficult position.

There's nothing else to it, he just felt that Bingbing wasn't quite suitable for the role.

The female lead in this drama is a very, very lively girl, and Bingbing is clearly not that type.

It's just a little toy.

The scene in the play where he interacts with Zhu Yuanzhang, with things like roast duck, is really interesting.

Many people probably still remember this period vividly.

Ma Xun is almost certain that Bingbing definitely couldn't have acted it out.

So……

"Bingbing, I have a great use for you."

"what?"

"Remember that blockbuster I mentioned before?"

"Warriors of Heaven and Earth?"

Ye Quanzhen had only heard Ma Xun mention it, and she didn't even remember the exact time.

However, it's definitely not "Hero," because there's already a lot of news about this Zhang Yimou film.

I'm not destined to be with Bingbing.

Ma Xun nodded and said with a smile, "In this movie... ask her if she'd be willing if she weren't the female lead?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Quanzhen frowned slightly, "Bingbing's current status, this..."

Just as she was showing signs of inner conflict, Ma Xun interrupted her directly.

"But that role is Yang Yuhuan."

Upon hearing this, Ye Quanzhen laughed.

"Oh dear, you're just teasing me!"

This was definitely not anger; on the contrary, it was great joy.

Actually, Ma Xun just used a little trick, the broken window theory.

"However, he doesn't have many scenes."

"That girl likes to play this kind of beautiful woman now."

Goodness, Ye Quan really sees through Bingbing completely.

Ma Xun naturally understood Bingbing's state of mind, which is why she later always played roles like Yang Yuhuan and Wu Zetian.

Actually, this is also a problem for Bingbing. She is indeed beautiful, but she gives people the feeling that she matures very quickly.

This is different from Yuanyuan.

Yuanyuan was able to play high school girls until she was over thirty.

Bingbing isn't very old yet, but if she were to play a high school girl, the audience would feel she doesn't look right.

It's not that they're not beautiful, but rather that the types of beauty are different.

This is why Ma Xun felt that Bingbing was not suitable for the role of 'Xiao Wanzi'.

If Bingbing were to play Yang Guifei, wouldn't that give up the role of 'Xiao Wanzi'?

Ye Quanzhen bluntly asked, "Does it mean you want Yuanyuan to play the role?"

Ma Xun shook his head directly, "She's not suitable either, it's better to..."

"Jingwen, right?"

Ye Quanzhen guessed correctly this time, and Ma Xun also laughed.

Jingwen is more suitable.

But don't forget, there's another time traveler in this show.

"There's also a policewoman."

"Should Yuanyuan play this role?"

“If you have other better recommendations, I don’t think Yuanyuan would care.”

Ma Xun's words were actually a hint to Ye Quanzhen; he could tell that Bingbing probably had something on her mind.

really.

"My good prince~" The fact that Ye Quan is addressing him like that again means that he really wants to get down to business. "Actually, with Yuanyuan's rapid growth recently, Bingbing's feelings... you must understand."

Ma Xun laughed heartily. In fact, he had said that because he knew this. "I don't like to force anyone."

But since I've given her face, she'd better accept it, understand?

Ye Quanzhen nodded of course, but she added, "It would be best to find an opportunity to make her unable to get out of bed, that would be more satisfying."

She was even more ruthless than Ma Xun.

Actually, the current situation is not unexpected.

Bingbing has become famous after all, and her status has risen rapidly.

And Yuanyuan got up too.

Jingwen is another one.

There will indeed be some conflicts.

In the future, Ma Xun will not aim to treat everyone equally, but rather to control the overall situation.

Otherwise, Bingbing is a very ambitious girl.

But that's okay, having ambition is a good thing.

Everyone in the entertainment industry has ambition.

But now it seems that Ye Quanzhen is losing control of Bingbing.

Ma Xun could tell from her words... but for now, Ma Xun could still completely control Bingbing.

Therefore, what Ye Quanzhen said may not necessarily be the truth.

Maybe it's just slander.

However, it did remind Ma Xun that he should teach them a lesson.

As for what 'color' it is...

"Your Highness, I'm tired."

Ye Quanzhen's pretty face, and her tone of voice.

"Don't you plan to take a swim in this ocean?"

"This……"

"Luckily, my villa has a swimming pool."

What does this mean?
Ye Quanzhen blushed. "You're so naughty."

Want to see swimsuits?

Luckily I brought it.

……

The drama "Love Through Time" was still handed over to Yip Quan-zhen to be in full charge.

After all, she was so alluring in the pool that Ma Xun couldn't resist.

Her graceful figure swayed gently.

The party went on until late at night, starting after sunset.

Well, at least it makes Ma Xun's vacation writing scripts less tedious and boring.

After that, they naturally discussed many details of the play.

Ma Xun has high standards; this time he emphasized the visuals of the TV series, as well as the meticulousness of the costumes, props, and sets.

In "Heroes of Heaven and Earth," we aim to explore the last vestiges of glory of the Tang Dynasty.

"Love Across Time" depicts the grandeur of the early Ming Dynasty.

There's no need to worry too much about the investment; 30 million should be enough for this film.

This TV series, after all, doesn't need to film such grand scenes, although it does include war scenes.

Ye Quanzhen left Sanya completely satisfied.

Ma Xun should just continue writing the script.

But fate had other plans. Just as I was about to write, a phone call came from the capital city.

"Mr. Ma, I am now asking you seriously, are you interested in watching the Spring Festival Gala live?"

On the other end of the phone was Dong Qing, who spoke so formally, clearly just being silly.

But watching the Spring Festival Gala live is a very meaningful thing these days.

That boss, who's so famous that "everyone who uses him knows," in the original timeline, only gained the trust of many people by having watched the Spring Festival Gala live for many years.

This method is really clumsy, but it does work.

And now...

"Is it because you've heard I'm that young master from the capital?"

Ma Xun's words were quite strange.

But Dong Qing laughed, "You really can't hide anything from me. Anyway, I think if you come as an audience member this time, it should be helpful for this matter."

clever!

Ma Xun was pleased, but then another thing came to mind.

Huh? If I can go to the Spring Festival Gala, then shouldn't the woman I rode on also go?
And it's on the Spring Festival Gala stage!

I couldn't help but think of Bingbing, whom Ye Quanzhen had mentioned.

This is like having someone hand you a pillow when you're sleepy.

This is a perfect opportunity to make a name for ourselves.

Having figured this out, Ma Xun chatted with Dong Qing for a couple more minutes before hanging up.

Let Jiang Wen stay in Sanya alone to vacation and write his script.

I'm going to watch the Spring Festival Gala!

……

2002 2 Month 11 Day.

At 8 p.m., the Spring Festival Gala met with people across the country as scheduled.

Zou Tao, one of the hosts, wore a bright red performance outfit and stood in the center of the stage.

Next to her are Sister Ni and Li Yong.

His expression was very festive and enthusiastic, perfectly matching the spirit of the Spring Festival Gala.

However, a casual glance from her almost caused her to make a mistake.

Ma Xun?

How did he show up?
The two hadn't been in contact for quite some time, and she had tried her best to forget about the incident.

But now that I've seen him again, I can't help but feel excited.

This, this is bad...

In fact, as a professional host, I have experienced the Spring Festival Gala many times.

Zou Tao's mental fortitude is absolutely strong enough, so her inner reaction at this moment truly surprised even herself.

Am I still thinking about him?

No!

While hosting the Spring Festival Gala, Zou Tao kept telling himself not to think about that guy.

But it was no use at all.

Many embarrassing scenes from that night came flooding back uncontrollably.

Zou Tao probably never dreamed that this Spring Festival Gala would be the biggest challenge of her hosting career!
