Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 335 Leaked Exam Questions? She cried, but only one tear! Wan Qian understood.
"An audition is one thing, but what are you doing here?"

"Teacher Yu asked me to come."

"Her? This..."

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with you? Could it be... you're keeping a mistress?"

"Ahem... What are you thinking! This isn't a golden palace, and there are no beautiful women here."

"Then what are you afraid of?"

"When have I ever been afraid?"

"Okay, I think your yard is quite nice, and the rooms are all there, which saves me the trouble of renting a place."

"W-what do you mean?"

"The audition won't take long. Hotels are expensive for me, and renting a place isn't worth it, so I might as well stay here with you."

"Wan Qian, what do you take this place for?"

"My boss, I'm just staying in one of your rooms."

"No, the way you're talking sounds like the translator in 'Little Soldier Zhang Ga'!"

"Oh dear! What kind of contact is that! Never mind, I'm staying here!"

Ma Xun made a joke, but unfortunately it couldn't stop Wan Qian's determination to live in his courtyard.

This is somewhat awkward. Although Ma Xun's courtyard can't be described as a place to keep mistresses, he has basically taken advantage of all the female celebrities who come here.

Wan Qian isn't qualified.

Even if Ma Xun continues to do as he pleases, maintaining close contact with the actresses he rides in this small courtyard... it must be a bit uncomfortable for him.

trouble!

But then I thought that it would only last a few days, so it didn't matter.

However, Ma Xun didn't think about it in detail this time.

Wan Qian came here on the recommendation of Yu Feihong... He overlooked this detail.

……

When I met the boss again, he seemed alright.

Wan Qian found a guest room and settled in the courtyard.

Needless to say, the room was bright and clean, and most importantly, the bed was quite comfortable.

The courtyard looked ordinary from the outside, but it turned out to be a hidden gem inside.

After packing her luggage and taking a proper shower, Wan Qian finally lay down on the bed.

Honestly, isn't she even a little bit on guard?

Actually, she had talked to Yu Feihong about some things before she came.

"Teacher Yu, I am so grateful that you recommended me this time."

"There's nothing to thank me for. You're one of my artists, so I'm just recommending you."

"But this is Stephen Chow's new movie!"

“That’s right, Stephen Chow’s movies are indeed highly anticipated, but based on his requirements and my situation, only you meet the criteria.”

Even so, I still want to thank you.

"Ha...you little rascal, you don't actually think that if I recommend you, you'll get this role, do you?"

"Oh...is it still not working?"

"What are you thinking? There are other candidates. Auditions, don't you understand?"

"Teacher Yu, what I mean is..."

"Haha... I get it. You think, since I recommended you, and this movie is a collaboration with Ma Xun, then this role is yours?"

Yu Feihong has already made her point clear, and Wan Qian does indeed mean it that way.

However, this was also a test for Wan Qian, namely... could this be considered as resources given to me by Mr. Ma and Teacher Yu?

There's nothing wrong with her thinking that way, but Yu Feihong still wants her to understand some realities.

"You're oversimplifying the entertainment industry. Besides, this time it was Stephen Chow himself who made the decisions."

Yu Feihong's words had a lot of hidden meaning; it remains to be seen whether Wan Qian can understand them.

At this moment, Wan Qian was carefully considering these words.

Is the entertainment industry being underestimated?

No, while she wouldn't dare say she's exceptionally intelligent, she doesn't underestimate the complexity of this industry either.

She knew that to get something, you had to give something in return.

So, what do you have to give up to get this role?

Just as Wan Qian was thinking, there was another knock on the door of Ma Xun's courtyard.

She didn't dare go out; she just peered out the window.

But then Ma Xun welcomed in a woman, and this woman... why does she look so much like Li Bingbing?

Oh, right, it's her sister!
Wait, that's not right?

Wan Qian felt like she had discovered an astonishingly large bust.

Isn't Li Xue a member of Huayi?
Why did she come here?

If it were here… Wan Qian blushed inexplicably. She was so curious that she wanted to go to the base of the wall.

……

inside the house.

"Why did you come here? Isn't that risky?"

Ma Xun never expected that he would have two unexpected visitors in one day.

Li Xue seemed completely unconcerned about danger; when faced with Ma Xun's question, she even smiled and laughed.

“Mr. Ma, the risk is mine, it has nothing to do with you, but I’m really flattered that you care about me so much.”

It must be admitted that Li Xue is a beauty. Even though she looks about 80% like her sister, she still has her own unique qualities.

It's like her face has more three-dimensionality, while her sister's is more flat.

But a beauty is a beauty; when she speaks softly and acts intimately, the temptation is right in front of Ma Xun.

“You make a good point.” Ma Xun smiled. He sensed that the beautiful agent in front of him was tempting him, and he also figured out some of her thoughts. He continued, “Have those two Wang brothers upset you sisters again?”

This is a rather pointed question. In the past, Li Xue could have chosen not to answer or simply brushed it off with some perfunctory words.

But this time, Li Xue was very direct: "Not at all."

They were still speaking their hometown dialect from Northeast China.

Upon hearing this, Ma Xun basically understood everything. "Let me guess, the Wang brothers' troubles this time are probably because of Stephen Chow's new movie, right? Did this offend you sisters?"

Li Xue laughed, "Boss Ma, you're the one who got into trouble."

Okay, you guessed right.

Ma Xun continued, "But this time, the female lead for 'Kung Fu Hustle' is required to be relatively young."

The subtext is: Your sister is too old.

Li Xue raised an eyebrow. "I admit it's about age, but the way those two brothers handled things was unethical! At least they should have asked us about this. And this time, they even ignored my master."

It turns out there was also something about Wang Jinghua.

Ma Xun understood even better: Li Xue's visit to him was certainly not a risky move; in fact, it would be best if the Wang brothers knew.

Let them see!
If you two brothers dare to push us sisters too far, then we're not without suitors!

From here on, it's simple.

"How can I help you? And what will I get in return?"

Ma Xun's directness drew admiration from Li Xue, who then moved closer to him.

Originally, the two were sitting on a long sofa, but Ma Xun was leaning back and crossing his legs, a posture usually reserved for bosses.

Now, Li Xue is in a lunging position, like a female leopard in heat.

Her hand moved to Ma Xun's thigh, and the thin suit pants couldn't keep out the warmth of her hand.

You can even feel the lines on her palm.

Some people think that when a man touches a woman's thigh, the woman will feel a strong sensation, but actually, the reverse is also true.

Li Xue was certain that he had conveyed his sincerity, and continued, "We absolutely cannot let that bitch Huo Siyan get this role!"

Ma Xun laughed, "That's it?"

Yes, with my abilities, this kind of thing is a piece of cake for me, Ma Xun.

Li Xue smiled as well, "Of course, it's not just that. If Mr. Ma could help my sister secure some more resources in Hollywood..."

"It's a small matter, but what can you give me?"

"We sisters are physically in Cao's camp but our hearts are with Han."

"That's all?"

"We will also give Mr. Ma a special gift."

A special gift?
Ma Xun frowned slightly, because Li Xue's little hand was really greedy.

In fact, Li Xue was taken aback at this moment. She did not expect that her boss, Ma Xun, would have such amazing talent.

No wonder so many actresses under his management are so devoted to him.

Li Xue wanted to give Ma Xun a "pledge of allegiance" right here.

She has already begun to possess someone.

However, Ma Xun suddenly said, "I think that special gift is more anticipated."

His meaning was very clear: let's stop here for today.

Li Xue was an extremely intelligent woman, especially when it came to understanding and controlling men's psychology. So, she simply smiled and licked her lips.

"Mr. Ma, we are sure to have a pleasant cooperation."

She left the courtyard after saying that.

Ma Xun breathed a sigh of relief, not because of the fat man, but because of Xiao Ma.

It has to be said, there's nothing wrong with having sex with Li Xue here.

But Ma Xun still thought of Wan Qian.

This girl... she might be peeking, right?

Right now, in the guest rooms of the courtyard.

Huchi~huchi~
Wan Qian lay on the bed, panting heavily.

That was really close; if she had been any slower, she would have been discovered. And the result of peeping...

Unexpectedly, the boss and Li Xue have such a relationship. Isn't Li Xue from Huayi Brothers?
Then it must be someone from the Wang brothers.

Wan Qian, of course, had no idea about the relationships between Li Xue, Wang Jinghua, and the Wang brothers.

She felt like she had overheard a huge secret in the entertainment industry!
Will my life be in danger, Wan Qian?
I wonder what's going on in that girl's little head.

But at that moment, there was a sound outside.

"see it?"

"No, no."

As soon as she said that, Wan Qian cursed herself for being stupid.
Isn't that tantamount to admitting it?

But then, Ma Xun didn't care at all about eavesdropping.

"Come to my room, I'll teach you how to act."

"what?"

Do I need you to teach me how to act?
You're just a boss, not a professor at Beijing Film Academy or Central Academy of Drama.

Despite her inner complaints, Wan Qian still went to Ma Xun's room.

Ma Xun was sitting on the sofa again, with his legs crossed.

The boss's demeanor.

"This performance..."

Wan Qian had just started speaking when Ma Xun interrupted her.

"Cry, cry out a single tear."

what?
This this……

Crying is fine, but why is there only one tear?

This is really hard to control!
"Why?" I couldn't help but ask.

Ma Xun laughed and said, "If you can do that, then the female lead in Stephen Chow's new film will be yours."

His words were incredibly appealing to all the actresses in the industry.

Unfortunately, it's really difficult.

Wan Qian tried several times, but either she had cried too much or she simply couldn't cry at all.

"This is ridiculous."

Ma Xun bluntly said, "You haven't been hurt enough."

what? !

Wan Qian was completely stunned.

Ma Xun was obviously helping the Li sisters. In fact, Huo Siyan definitely wouldn't get the female lead role in "Kung Fu Hustle".

This is not because Huo Siyan is not innocent enough.

In fact, in this day and age, Huo Siyan is not only very innocent, but also has a pretty good figure.

You'll know if you watch "The Young Emperor," and this show hasn't even started filming yet.

However, Ma Xun has a problem here.

He was certain that Huo Siyan wouldn't get the role in "Kung Fu Hustle," but how could he convince the Li sisters that it was Ma Xun who prevented Huo Siyan from getting the role?

As for Ma Xun's choice to help the Li sisters, it wasn't to help them, but to help himself!
The reasoning is very simple: Ma Xun knows that in the near future, Wang Jinghua will leave because of the escalating conflict with the Wang brothers.

However, in the original timeline, the two sisters, Li Xue and Li Bingbing, chose to stay put.

Neither of them left Huayi!

Now, Ma Xun has an opportunity to get the Li sisters to leave Huayi as well, and if that happens...

The Wang brothers must have suffered a severe blow!

In the original timeline, when Wang Jinghua left with her men, the Wang brothers were asked by reporters whether Huayi's future would be greatly affected. The two of them put on a brave face and said that there would be no impact, but in reality, we all knew what was going on.

And now, what if the Li sisters also leave?

Hehe, the Wang brothers are really having a tough time!

Furthermore, if Wan Qian could get this role, that wouldn't be a bad thing.

Moreover, Ma Xun was certain of one thing: the original female lead, played by Huang Shengyi, was really bad.

She brought out the character's innocence through photography and other means. As for her later development, well... getting married early was actually a very good choice.

Acting skills? Huang Shengyi?

Forget it, besides, her face isn't exactly beautiful or refined.

As for Wan Qian... she had already signed it, and it was a child labor contract.

Give her a chance.

This is much better than her situation in the original timeline.

The acting skills that Ma Xun has trained are exactly what the movie "Kung Fu Hustle" needs most!

As long as Wan Qian can do it, then there's no problem.

In reality, Huang Shengyi in the movie didn't actually act that out; that single tear was clearly faked.

Right now...

Ma Xun suddenly stared at Wan Qian and said, "Stop hiding it, you like me, right?"

In that instant, Wan Qian felt as if she had been punched in the heart. "No, no!"

Of course, it should be rejected.

Ma Xun continued with a smile, "But let me tell you, there are plenty of beautiful female celebrities in this industry who like me. As for you... I advise you to give up."

Enough!

At this moment, Wan Qian...

I never liked you!

That's what she said, but she still shed a tear, and it really was just a single tear.

……

Today is the day for casting for Stephen Chow's new film "Kung Fu Hustle".

They set up a classroom at the Beijing Film Academy, since it's holiday time now.

It's very convenient to come here. There are many beautiful actresses from all over the country, either newcomers or already quite famous.

Anyone who was qualified came.

People kept exclaiming in surprise.

Look, isn't that Dong Jie?

Look, isn't that Huo Siyan?
Oh, and so-and-so...

Various opinions continued to emerge.

There are truly beauties everywhere.

In fact, according to Ma Xun's opinion... Tang Wei also came, and even Qin Lan, Liu Tao, and Ms. Ma were there.

"Princess Pearl 3" has finished filming, and even the Battle of Xiangyang in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" has been filmed.

Wait a minute, why are there also Xiao Mi and Re Yi Zha?

They are now Rayli model buddies.

Of course, in reality, the Li sisters only came to see Li Xue.

But their eyes met only briefly.

Naturally, Wan Qian from Ma Xun's side also participated in the battle.

Not long after.

"Oh dear! What is this?!"

"Why? Is this the final decision?"

"I...I haven't performed yet!"

There were a few unknown actresses who were clearly dissatisfied.

In addition, several others looked quite unwell.

For example, Dong Jie and Qin Lan...

Who was chosen in the end?
Needless to say!
Wan Qian was overjoyed and kept thanking Stephen Chow.

Seeing this, Li Xue couldn't help but look at Ma Xun.

The surprise and joy in her eyes were impossible to hide.

Ma Xun was naturally very pleased; this was nothing more than a trivial matter.

……

We returned to Ma Xun's courtyard.

Wan Qian still feels like it's not real.

We took it just like that?

However, during the audition, Stephen Chow asked him to act sad.

This sadness... Wan Qian immediately thought of Ma Xun's previous request to 'cry, but only with a single tear'.

This, this... this is the legendary leak of exam questions!
Wan Qian won; she did indeed seize this excellent opportunity.

She's the female lead in Stephen Chow's new movie!
But she also felt inexplicably afraid.

Sure enough, resources in the entertainment industry are controlled by powerful figures.

Just like this time, if Mr. Ma hadn't leaked the questions, how could I have possibly won?

Conversely, if you want to get more and better resources in this circle...

Then there is only...

Wan Qian figured it out; she realized that everything Ma Xun had told her before was correct.

Even if it's for their own good.

So she left the guest room, intending to go to Ma Xun's room.

Unexpectedly, sounds that made people blush came from inside the room.

She tried to climb out the window again, and the result was...

It was that woman, Qin Lan.
