Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 326 The Wang Brothers Suffer a Crushing Defeat! Hao Lei Regains His Former Feelings!

The announcement of the Most Popular Actress award has truly brought joy to some and sorrow to others.

Although the applause was very loud, and although the atmosphere was very enthusiastic...

But in reality, many people have strange inner thoughts.

There are quite a few big-name stars attending this film festival.

Big-eyed thief Yanzi did arrive, of course as a guest, but deep down she was truly unwilling to accept it.

From a certain perspective, "Shaolin Soccer" was actually the highest-grossing film in China last year.

It grossed over HK$6000 million in Hong Kong alone.

This box office record not only broke the highest box office record for Hong Kong films, but it was also the highest-grossing domestic film last year.

Even if we combine all the movies that have been released in China, only the Hollywood film "Pearl Harbor" achieved a box office of over 100 million last year.

If "Shaolin Soccer" could be released in mainland China, then this 4000 million gap would definitely be closed!
Unfortunately……

After the big eyes incident, that other thing happened, which almost ruined her acting career.

So, she was truly unwilling to accept it.

Although she was all smiles on her face, inside... she was practically driven mad with jealousy.

And then, she understood.

“Darling, actually I…”

"Don't be impatient yet."

Wang Yu was standing next to Da Yan, but at that moment, Wang Yu's attention was not on Da Yan at all.

That was another girl, also an actress in "Romance in the Rain," and she had very big eyes too.

Wang Yu's gaze at that moment made the big-eyed thief feel even worse.

Clearly, the big-eyed thief, unwilling to accept his fate and consumed by jealousy, could only continue in this manner.

……

Compared to the big-eyed thief, the Wang brothers are now dumbfounded!

"what's the situation?!"

"This... seems to be a problem."

The Wang brothers could hardly believe their ears. Why didn't they win the Most Popular Actress award?

That's right, this time they're promoting Rosamund Kwan!

That sounds...not bad either.

Rosamund Kwan has the aura of a Hong Kong star, and she is also beautiful enough that she would definitely rank among the top three beauties in the eyes of today's college students.

The Wang brothers have done a lot of work this time, focusing on cracking down on another princess in the Beijing circle, Xu Jinglei.

As for why this is the case... the next award will explain.

"Most Popular Actor at the 9th College Student Film Festival... Ge You! 'Big Shot'!"

Yes, it has to be him!

When Ge You went on stage to accept the award, he was met with applause, but the Wang brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

They were really worried that they would lose the award.

In fact, the two guys' plans for this year's film festival are very simple.

The goal is to win both the Most Popular Actor and Actress awards.

Once you win these two awards, things will be much easier.

The male and female leads of "Big Shot's Funeral" both won the Most Popular Actor award, which achieved their goal of stealing the spotlight!
Yes, it's that simple, but in reality, that's exactly what the entertainment industry is fighting for.

This is an award, an honor, and most importantly, it can be heavily promoted in future publicity.

If we generate buzz around the fact that two people won awards, how many people will still talk about "Hero"?

Besides, isn't Ge You the male lead in "Cellphone"?
This plan may seem simple, but if it succeeds, the results will be excellent.

To my utter surprise, this time it was taken by someone from Taiwan!
So angry!

In fact, the Wong brothers were trying to create a record by awarding this prize to a star from Hong Kong and Taiwan, which would be considered a groundbreaking achievement.

Awards in mainland China rarely give awards to artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Of course, they do exist, but they are few and far between, especially at the College Student Film Festival.

They originally planned to cast Rosamund Kwan, but unexpectedly, Alyssa Chia ended up taking the role.

Even more angry!

Who exactly is behind this?

The Wang brothers were furious and started looking for Ma Xun with their eyes.

It must have been this guy who did it!

……

"Is it your fault?"

"No, what do you mean by 'playing tricks'?"

Hao Lei finally couldn't hold back any longer. There had been a strange silence between her and Ma Xun.

Hao Lei only asked this question after Ge You won the award, which shows he was quite patient.

However, Ma Xun's answer made Hao Lei even more unable to hold back.

“Ma Xun, you weren’t like this before.”

"What's wrong with me?"

"At least be open about what you did in the past."

"But I didn't do it, why should I admit it?"

Ma Xun understood what Hao Lei meant, but he was indeed telling the truth.

Jingwen winning the award was definitely not something he manipulated!
This year's college student film festival focused on off-site marketing, with Ma Xun and Wang Changtian investing a lot of resources in the off-site marketing of the "Hero" cast change.

They're using this scandal to hype up the movie.

So far, the results have been very good.

Moreover, judging from the timing, "Hero" will be released in July.

The timeframe is indeed tight, but this is the only way to arrange things.

Because Spider-Man will be released in early August.

The brilliance of Ma Xun's strategy this summer is that, although there seem to be many Hollywood blockbusters and strong competitors, the real opponent is actually Spider-Man!
Therefore, "Hero" must be released in July!
Ma Xun's strategy this time is different from before. Before, he made a comeback from a low position, but this time he will reverse the situation.

I want to watch Hollywood blockbusters from above!
Because ours is a blockbuster too!
Therefore, he naturally focused more resources on off-site activities at the film festival.

So, he didn't really care about the award.

Ma Xun was also surprised that Alyssa Chia won this award.

But when facing Hao Lei... he still maintained the same attitude.

There's nothing to explain.

Hao Lei stared at Ma Xun's face for a long time, and she became certain of one thing.

Ma Xun wasn't lying. Well, that made her feel a little better.

but……

"Can't you give me an explanation because of me?"

Ma Xun laughed after hearing this, "Hao Lei, you've become like a resentful woman since you left me."

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

……

"great!"

"Thank you, Teacher Yu!"

When Jingwen returned to her seat, the first person she hugged was Yu Feihong.

It's quite simple; the real person behind this award is actually Yu Feihong.

Jingwen is currently signed with Yu Feihong's company, and considering the whole year last year, what's wrong with Jingwen winning an award?
Yes, you should!

Besides, she's a Taiwanese star. Isn't her winning this award proof of excellent cross-strait cultural exchange?
The department leaders are 100% happy!
The most interesting thing is that Yu Feihong didn't actually do much work.

The Wang brothers attacked Xu Jinglei quite fiercely, even though they were all from the Beijing circle, their power levels were different.

Moreover, it should be noted that Feng Xiaogang and Wang Shuo are currently in a rather delicate relationship.

Feng Xiaogang has been studying Wang Shuo, but now he has actually surpassed him.

Wang Shuo must be unhappy, so the Wang brothers must support Feng Xiaogang even more!

Therefore, cracking down on Xu Jinglei has this layer of meaning.

The Wang brothers never dreamed that Yu Feihong would reap the benefits.

From the perspective of the leaders above, or even from Han Sanping's perspective.

Rosamund Kwan is a Hong Kong star, and Alyssa Chia is a Taiwanese star.

They're all considered part of Hong Kong and Taiwan... but in reality, they're currently leaning more towards Taiwan.

Those who know, know; I won't go into details.

Isn't that how it turned out?
After winning the award, Alyssa Chia couldn't stop smiling.

My best friend Yuanyuan is right beside me.

"Look how happy you are."

"Oh dear~ Didn't you take this before?"

"Who would complain about having too many awards? I'd want to win more after winning one."

"You're so greedy, haha..."

The two sisters laughed and joked with each other, which was quite a beautiful sight at our film festival.

Subsequent awards have been more focused on professional skills.

The Wang brothers suffered a major blow, as they only won the Most Popular Actor award for the film "Big Shot's Funeral".

After all that effort, I ended up with so little to show for it.

An absolute and devastating defeat!
Of course, most importantly, their plan to steal the spotlight completely failed.

At the end of the film festival awards ceremony, a special team of creators came on stage.

It's *Hero*!
……

Ma Xun had already left before the film festival awards ceremony was over.

Everything was going according to plan, so he didn't need to keep an eye on it all the time.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Ma Xun got into his car, someone else quickly sat in the passenger seat.

It was Hao Lei.

Ma Xun glanced at her and asked, "Why did you get into someone else's car?"

This remark was very teasing.

But Hao Lei didn't respond at all, only saying, "Drive!"

I heard everything; she asked me to drive it.

Even if Hao Lei left the film festival first, if reporters photographed him getting into Ma Xun's car, it would definitely be a juicy story.

Ma Xun still showed some gentleness, and he tried to avoid the door where there might be a lot of reporters.

Universities generally offer many career paths, unless you go to the Central Academy of Drama... which is actually the smallest university in Beijing.

Before long, Ma Xun and Hao Lei arrived at the outskirts of Beijing.

Summer vacation is just around the corner.

The nights in Beijing are even a bit hot.

"Want to talk?"

Ma Xun stopped the car, but to his surprise, Hao Lei had no intention of talking at all.

She immediately grabbed his head and kissed him.

This……

It has to be said, this woman has a lot of drive.

Ma Xun naturally accepted all offers, and soon he discovered a problem.

"You've grown a lot since leaving me."

Yes, it's gotten bigger.

Hao Lei, however, completely disregarded Ma Xun's implied meaning.

I simply rode on.

The space in the driver's seat was immediately taken up.

"Am I a bitter woman?"

Oh, so that's what she meant by that sentence.

Ma Xun laughed, "Okay, I admit it, you're not a complaining woman."

Hao Lei bit her lip lightly; she wanted to be in control today.

He lowered his head and kissed her again.

Until the moment of connection.

Hao Lei actually had tears in the corners of his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Ma Xun asked, slightly puzzled.

"It's nothing," Hao Lei said stubbornly.

Even if there was something, she wouldn't say anything.

Or perhaps, she was captivated by that familiar feeling...
