Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 365 "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" begins! Tang Yan and Zhu Jiuzhen? The old driver hit someone!

Hey~
He let out a soft sigh, his voice sounding somewhat strange.

It was as if a fairy was repenting for her descent into the mortal world.

Moonlight peeked in through the window, illuminating two bodies lying side by side on the bed.

This seems to imply that they are equal.

Moreover, given the current situation, he should enjoy it.

"Nothing you want to say?" Ma Xun broke the silence between them.

Clearly, Yu Feihong came here with serious business to discuss, and the heated exchange just now was merely compensation for not seeing each other for many days.

But Yu Feihong said it this way.

Why are you in such a hurry?

Is it still the same question?

Ma Xun laughed at this moment, "I told you it wasn't because I was in a hurry, and besides, I won, didn't you know that?"

"I know."

"It's not as simple as 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' defeating 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils'."

“I know, and Golden Harvest too. You’ve successfully acquired this established film company.”

So, let's celebrate!

"Just a celebration?"

Yu Feihong was clearly dissatisfied with this statement, but she still didn't look at him.

"If we have to find a reason, isn't this a good one?"

Ma Xun's words were quite insightful, and even Yu Feihong herself deeply agreed with them.

Yes, they have both achieved great success, so there's nothing wrong with celebrating in this way.

Moreover, the pressure that had been building up for many days has indeed been fully released.

However, Yu Feihong did not want to continue this topic.

"To be honest, I really didn't expect that you could actually handle Jin Yong."

"However, he didn't actually say anything that favored us."

"But in fact, it did work."

"Okay, I admit it."

"So, how did you do it?"

Yu Feihong seemed determined to get to the bottom of things, so Ma Xun turned to look at her and found that she had turned around as well.

"It's not difficult at all, and you probably won't believe me when I tell you."

"How am I supposed to know what's making me disbelieve you if you don't tell me?"

"That's right, Jin Yong wanted to say something, yeah, that's it."

Ma Xun was indeed telling the truth, but Yu Feihong gave him a look that seemed to say, "Do you think I believe you?"

This left Ma Xun with nothing but a smile.

That's just how it is.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."

Their relationship seemed to have become strange again.

However, he still finds it difficult to grasp Yu Feihong's inner state.

It's really hard to completely guess what this woman is thinking.

Just now, Yu Feihong was concealing a sudden thought that had suddenly come to mind: she inexplicably wanted to have a child with Ma Xun.

Well, it wasn't to have a child for him, but rather Yu Feihong herself wanted a child for the two of them.

Fortunately, she managed to conceal that thought.

Let's get down to business.

"what's next?"

This single sentence is rich in meaning.

Ma Xun looked up at the ceiling again. "Isn't it simple? Of course, it's 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber'."

This was an expected answer, and Yu Feihong knew it too.

However, the details need to be discussed carefully.

Would you still choose me?

That's a good question.

Moreover, you must ask first.

They are certainly in a cooperative relationship, but Ma Xun never said he necessarily had to cooperate with Yu Feihong.

Furthermore, judging from this adaptation of "The Return of the Condor Heroes," several factions under Ma Xun's control were actually involved.

And they will definitely be eyeing the next installment, "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber."

The most important and serious reason for Yu Feihong's visit this time is to determine this 'choice' issue.

Ma Xun knew this, and this time he looked at Yu Feihong again, and the two of them stared at each other again.

"Of course it's still you."

Yu Feihong was satisfied with this answer; in fact, she felt a sense of déjà vu, as if she were a teenager when she received her university entrance exam results.

She was very surprised by this.

So Yu Feihong casually asked, "Haven't you considered other people?"

Ma Xun then said, "We have been successful, so it would be better if you took charge of the production of 'Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre'."

This statement...

"Is it just a matter of considering interests?"

"Then from what other angles can we consider this?"

"Not bad, it's still Ma Xun."

"Of course I am."

Yu Feihong's statement is strange, but in reality, she is still covering up the truth.

If she were the young Yu Feihong, if Ma Xun said: "I'm not just considering things from a profit-driven perspective."

Perhaps Yu Feihong will fall head over heels for him.

She even had children with him.

Why did I think of this again?

Yu Feihong was somewhat annoyed, but now that her goal had been achieved, it was time to leave.

She got up, got out of bed, and then found her underwear.

"There are many more details."

Ma Xun's words clearly indicated that he wanted to keep Jinghong Fairy a little longer.

"It won't stop me from getting dressed."

Yu Feihong was clearly determined to leave.

“Alright.” Ma Xun chose to go along with her. “Although you will still be in charge of this project, I need to decide on the female lead.”

"up to you."

“Yuanyuan and Jingwen.”

"Oh... my student seems very suitable to play Zhao Min."

"Yes."

As for what Yuanyuan will perform next, there's no need to say more.

So Yu Feihong skipped ahead and asked, "Is Zhang Wuji still using that Hu Yi?"

Ma Xun frowned. "You think he's suitable?"

"Although the novel doesn't describe Zhang Wuji as particularly handsome, his father was the kind of man that would make a demoness from the Demonic Sect fall in love at first sight, and his mother was also a demoness, so he must be just as good-looking."

Besides, so many girls like him; how could that be possible if he weren't handsome?

Ma Xun couldn't help but nod; he also picked up on something else.

"So you've put in a lot of effort."

It's obvious that Yu Feihong had already watched "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" carefully a long time ago, which means that she had a strong ambition for this work!
She'd been caught, but Yu Feihong didn't seem to care at all, since it had already been agreed that she would still be in control.

"I saw it a long time ago." That's all you need to say.

Ma Xun laughed because he knew Yu Feihong was lying.

Jin Yong's novels weren't so easy to read in mainland China back then, and besides, she was a young woman, so it was less likely that she would like martial arts novels.

However, Ma Xun did not intend to expose her, and continued, "That Hu Wen is no good, you should find someone else."

"Oh why?"

"I played Yang Guo."

"Before that..."

“Yuanyuan and Jingwen are from different dramas.”

In other words, at least a year had passed.

Moreover, our production of "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber" is currently affected by the pandemic, meaning that we cannot start filming immediately.

In this light, Yuanyuan and Jingwen, as well as the actresses who previously starred in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," could be suitable for this role.

However, Hu Yi played Yang Guo and is now famous.

Should he be cast as Zhang Wuji again?

The audience will definitely find the face familiar.

Actually, from a conservative perspective, Ma Xun thinks Alec Su's portrayal of Zhang Wuji is quite good. Although Alec Su is a member of the Little Tigers, he's clearly not 'tiger' at all.

He's actually the kind of person who's quite stern.

Based on the current plot of Jin Yong's "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", Zhang Wuji is an extremely kind-hearted person.

This guy is indecisive; to put it bluntly, he's like a male protagonist in a Japanese anime.

Oh, this... indecisive, yet liked by many girls, he's practically a male protagonist from a Japanese anime!
I don't want to think about this anymore.

So, if all else fails, then it's time for Youpeng.

Let Yu Feihong handle it. If she really messes it up, Ma Xun can still cover for her.

Now that the male and female leads are almost confirmed, the discussion surrounding "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre" should be pretty much over.

Unexpectedly, Yu Feihong asked a rather peculiar question.

"Zhu Jiuzhen, what do you think of this role?"

"what?"

Ma Xun was taken aback, because this role was indeed somewhat unexpected.

If you say Zhu Jiuzhen is unimportant in the novel "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre," then you haven't read the novel.

But it's not quite right to say it's very important.

Because this character really didn't have many scenes, and she was the kind of villainous female supporting character that we often see in online novels.

However, upon closer analysis, this Zhu Jiuzhen is not so simple after all.

For Zhang Wuji, Zhu Jiuzhen was a very, very special woman.

The main point is the timing of their meeting.

That was when Zhang Wuji was very young. He had been back from Icefire Island for some time.

I already have some understanding of the world on the mainland.

However, there was one aspect he didn't quite understand: the relationship between men and women.

The age at which Zhang Wuji met Zhu Jiuzhen was particularly coincidental.

He was at that age where youth was just beginning to blossom.

People in ancient times matured very early. During the Yuan and Ming dynasties, people generally got married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Going back further, they got married at the age of twelve or thirteen, such as Emperor Wu of Han's first wife.

Therefore, Zhang Wuji was in the middle of his adolescence when he happened to meet Zhu Jiuzhen.

you could put it that way.

Although Zhu Jiuzhen did not take Zhang Wuji's virginity, she psychologically deflowered him.

It was also mentioned in the Sanlian edition that Zhang Wuji's first crush was actually Zhu Jiuzhen.

So, this Zhu Jiuzhen...

"Do you have any candidates in mind?" Ma Xun's question made Yu Feihong feel very comfortable.

This is to respect her.

So, Yu Feihong, who had already put on her stockings, simply reached into her bag.

Not long after, several photos were laid out on Ma Xun's chest.

Ma Xun laughed and said, "Isn't what you're doing a bit inappropriate?"

"You're heartless."

Yu Feihong's criticism is quite sharp.

Ma Xun had no choice but to pick up the photos and look at them, and then...

what?
Tang Yan?

Oh, right, she got into the Central Academy of Drama last year.

And... oh?

Mary?

Goodness, she really is Mary from Taipei now.

That's right, Mary was just over twenty years old at this time, a hot and beautiful woman.

Okay, Ma Xun did think of that joke about Mary and Wu Jing.

Mary must have really wanted to give the editor who wrote this article a red envelope (cash gift).

He decided not to think about it anymore. Ma Xun even saw Bai Baihe and Wang Luodan...

Of these options...

"Let's go with this one." Let's keep Tang Yan.

Yu Feihong glanced at her and didn't say much, "You have good taste. This girl is very tall and has long legs."

You don't need to tell me this, but... never mind, I won't dwell on it.

After carefully putting away the photos, Yu Feihong planned to get dressed and go back.

Unfortunately, just as she fastened her bag, Ma Xun hugged her from behind.

"The night is long."

"Can't you sleep?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Feihong's lips curled into a smile.

However, it was immediately shoved against the wall.

……

The TV series "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre" is currently in the preparation stage.

Casting, and all sorts of other things.

Ma Xun felt quite at ease entrusting these matters to Yu Feihong.

But he couldn't stay idle. There were still many profits to be made from "The Return of the Condor Heroes," and he had a lot of things to do.

Interestingly, just as he got busy, someone called him again.

"Brother, congratulations on your successful acquisition of Golden Harvest!"

"Brother Zhang, thank you so much, haha... By the way, you must have something more important to say if you called me."

"Of course, I won't beat around the bush. My brother played a big part in making our previous film, 'Hero,' so successful."

So, I definitely can't forget my little brother for my next film.

"Wow! I didn't expect Mr. Zhang Yimou to have such inspiration so quickly?"

"Ha... He's destined to be busy. You can tell by the wrinkles on his face. He can't stay idle."

"Haha... Brother Zhang is right, so what about this movie..."

The caller was Zhang Weiping; this guy wanted to talk about his new film… need I even ask?
Ma Xun is just playing him for a fool.

It must be "House of Flying Daggers"!
However, given the success of "Hero," Ma Xun is indeed indispensable for "House of Flying Daggers."

However, Ma Xun was well aware that this film was truly somewhat...

Honestly, it has investment value because this film is actually profitable.

But the plot of the film is really speechless.

It does have its advantages, though, such as dancing, sleeve-waving, and drumming.

This is truly a classic film and television work, and the one who danced this part was 'Xiao Meng'.

Although Zhang Ziyi is also a dancer, she is quite different from Wang Yabin.

Yes, it's true that many dancers later become actors, and even many of their children become actors, like... Song Tie.

Many people probably don't know that Tiezi's mother is a well-known dancer and teacher, a professor.

Let's bring our thoughts back to the present.

"The movie is called 'House of Flying Daggers'!"

Zhang Weiping is very imposing.

Ma Xun casually remarked, "Are you going to film Xiang Yu and Liu Bang?"

His acting was quite good!

Zhang Weiping laughed heartily, "No, that's not it, it's the new one we made."

Ma Xun said directly, "Then I'm even more curious!"

Alright, since we've come this far, that's perfect.

Next, Ma Xun might as well go to New Picture.

It was originally a routine business negotiation.

As Ma Xun drove to the vicinity of New Picture Company, suddenly, someone rushed over from the side.

Wow!
"Fuck..."

Unexpectedly, even the experienced driver caused an accident.

But it's nothing, Ma Xun won't run away.

Moreover, he wasn't driving fast just now, since he was almost there.

So, it shouldn't be a big deal.

However... it seems I bumped into a girl.

Ma Xun got out of the car and was about to speak...

"Are you alright?" He swallowed the rest of his question.

Because the girl lying on the ground had long legs and a slender figure.

Ma Xun had seen her photos before.

It was Tang Yan.
