Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 386: Suspense at its peak! "The Terror Live" preview screenings are a huge hit! Qin Lan helps Liu Tao? She prioritizes her own needs.

This...this...could he be that bomber?

At this moment, even those who were originally dead are 'resurrected'.

Some viewers couldn't believe that this guy was the bomber.

After all, based on everything that had happened before, everyone thought this person was dead.

Moreover, the security guard's death was quite logical.

If that high-ranking Malaysian police officer is dead, what's wrong with him, a lowly security guard, dying?

In other words, nobody really noticed him.

Now they've pulled off a revival, which is really beyond what the audience expected.

Even Qin Lan and Liu Tao couldn't have predicted it.

The two of them are in a situation that... feels quite embarrassing.

After all, they are professional actresses, but they never expected such a plot twist.

This reversal is truly astonishing.

And now... here it comes!
Sha Yi?!
Finally, the camera focused on the security guard, and his face appeared.

Then everyone realized that he was actually Sha Yi.

In all the previous shots, there was absolutely no mention of Sha Yi's face. This security guard wasn't appearing on camera for the first time, but in all the shots of him, he was always shown from behind.

This back view is perfectly reasonable. He's just a security guard, and this is a TV program. Why would a security guard be shown with his face turned on?

But now, they've shown their true colors.

Murderous!
Clearly, he was the bomber!
Well, if the camera had shown Sha Yi earlier, many viewers would have been able to guess that he was probably the bomber.

In other words, the technique is great, but the filming itself was extremely difficult.

Qin Lan and Liu Tao both knew very well whether an actor was really willing to make such a sacrifice.
Wan Qian and Xu Qian are definitely the female lead, but who is the other male lead?

It's very likely that it's this Sha Yi.

However, now that more than half of the movie has passed, the male lead, Sha Yi, has only just shown his face.

Although, based on previous footage, we can confirm from memory that Sha Yi was actually involved in the entire process, this security guard really did have quite a bit of acting.

It's like when the female anchor received the phone call, the camera actually showed the security guard.

But it was always just his back view.

Without actually showing their face, it's as if they didn't act at all!
Therefore, if this were an ordinary film or television drama, it simply couldn't be filmed.

The male lead himself must really not want to act in this role.

But now that it's been filmed, is it because of the director?
Is it because of the script of this play?
It's all because of... Ma Xun!
It must be because of him.

Ma Xun is powerful enough that he is definitely the most influential boss in the industry right now.

Only someone like Ma Xun exists, and he even showed kindness and support to Sha Yi.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult to film this movie.

Considering this, and also recalling Wan Qian's direct gaze into the camera before...

This "The Terror Live" is basically a movie by Ma Xun!
Anyway, Wang Xiaoshuai himself probably couldn't have filmed it.

At least he can't get a famous actor to willingly not show their face for most of a movie.

However, this makes "The Terror Live" really good!

Only after the security guard 'came back to life' did the mysteries of the film gradually unfold.

The next scene should introduce this bomber.

He needs to give the audience an answer as to why he did this.

Logically speaking, this should be the perspective of the security guard.

But this movie is different.

It's from the police's perspective!

Malaysian police aren't stupid; they finally made a breakthrough and tracked down the security guard.

One by one, the photos appeared.

There are also some slightly blurry videos.

From how he came into contact with Huang Changfu to how he later infiltrated the television station.

That's such a unique perspective!

We were actually watching the security guard the whole time, but we weren't looking at him from a normal perspective.

That's how it is!

But it's still perfectly reasonable, because the police aren't entirely useless.

Of course, while this perspective has resolved many mysteries, it has not completely solved them.

For example, why did this security guard insist on helping Huang Changfu?
This effectively maintains the suspense of the film.

It's clear that all the mysteries won't be truly solved until the very last moment of the movie.

And all this...

Finally, a long-hidden incident was uncovered.

The collusion between officials and businessmen in the demolition and relocation process has been exposed, and many details of it have been revealed.

Many people are still living in dilapidated makeshift housing.

Scene after scene, incident after incident.

This was fully presented to the audience through the live stream.

And such exposure...

When the businessman appeared, the official began to use his power to launch an even greater offensive against the television station's live broadcast studio.

Gunshots! Explosions!
The security guard who bombed the television station eventually fell from the building.

The anchor, Xu Qian, ultimately survived.

However, in the end, she made eye contact with the security guard who was about to fall.

Is there more to the story?

Upon arriving here, all the audience members in the screening room were completely immersed in the experience.

Everyone wants to know the final truth.

Then, the camera panned to the next scene.

Xu Qian's perspective has shifted, except she's in the office of a high-ranking executive at the television station.

"If you want to keep your position, you should pay the price..."

Mr. Hou?
Anyway, it was a TV executive harassing the anchor.

Xu Qian resisted; she refused.

However, it's clear that her position as a live streamer is now in jeopardy.

And that's when she encountered the bomber.

That's right! They knew each other before!

But the bomber only said one thing to her: "I have a way to help you keep your streamer position."

Xu Qian would definitely agree to help him.

Why did the security guard help Huang Changfu next?

It turns out they used to work on construction sites together, and Huang actually took good care of the security guard.

Construction sites sometimes require the use of explosives.

But later, Huang Changfu, a worker who had built buildings all his life, had to leave his ancestral home due to demolition and was ultimately unable to move back.

Even though there were contracts and guarantees at the time, and various other things...

And this is absolutely the most biting irony!

Huang was even severely injured by people from the real estate company.

Only then did the security guards launch this operation.

The mystery of the entire incident has now been solved!

However, a small detail emerged.

That is, there is a scene where a senior executive of the TV station also dies!
The cause of death was not mentioned.

And at the end of our "Terror Live" segment, Xu Qian, the anchor, is still facing the camera.

"Breaking news, a well-known real estate developer in this city..."

She was reporting the final outcome of the incident.

Has the real estate sector received the punishment it deserves?
Were the officials who colluded also punished?

Anyway, it has entered into litigation proceedings.

As for those people, have they moved back to their original places of residence?
I don’t know.

In other words, the ending of this movie can even be considered an open ending!

However, in the final shot, the corners of the anchor Xu Qian's mouth turned up slightly.

What does it mean?
Everyone was wondering what was going on when the lights in the screening room came on.

In other words, the movie is truly over, and there won't be any more plot twists.

Oh dear, this is really...

"This movie is outrageous!" Liu Tao exclaimed in disbelief.

"What are you talking about? This movie is really good." Qin Lan couldn't help but tease her friend.

"It's good, but there are still some... there are still some mysteries left."

"Of course, that's how a lot of movies are."

Qin Lan's statement makes sense, but she is indeed very eager to know the answers to the mysteries left in the movie.

It's like telling how that executive died.

Was it the security guard who killed him, or was it Xu Qian who did it?
Especially at the end, what's with Xu Qian's smile?

Could it be that she... increasingly feels that she killed that executive?

Yes, there seems to be another scene, in the middle of the movie, where Xu Qian comes out of that executive's office and then goes live.

The more I think about this movie, the more I can figure out.

But Qin Lan was certain that this was a good movie.

But then, enthusiastic applause erupted in the screening room.

After all, the movie is over, and the audience has plenty of questions.

Will Uncle Da survive in the end?

"How is that official doing?"

"Who killed the executive?" These questions made this preview screening very informative.

Uncle Da?

Yes, that's Huang Changfu.

At first, Ma Xun was unaware of this matter. Later, Wang Xiaoshuai and his group arrived in Malaysia and happened to meet Uncle Da.

Then let's just have a cameo role.

Uncle Da readily agreed.

Naturally, it was also out of respect for Ma Xun, as they had a good conversation beforehand.

Actually, many people don't know that Uncle Da has already settled down in Malaysia.

He either films in mainland China or goes back to Malaysia.

In short, this was handled well.

However, Uncle Da did not attend this preview screening.

Now, everyone has so many questions, so let's see how well our film's creators handle them.

Wan Qian is definitely the female lead in this movie, and a leading lady at that.

However, she also admires Sha Yi for making such a big sacrifice for this film.

Looking back now... it was all worth it.

Sha Yi was a little nervous; he had never actually made a movie like this before.

He didn't feel that he had made a great sacrifice.

Actors, they're doing it for the sake of a good performance, no problem there.

Besides, our boss Ma is a good boss, and he really understands movies.

The many details in "The Terror Live" make the script particularly interesting.

Now...

"I really don't know how that President Hou died."

Wow, Sha Yi's one sentence made the atmosphere cheerful.

Everyone laughed for a while, because President Hou always played some rather 'strange' roles.

It's true, he's been playing those strange roles for a very long time.

However, let's not forget that Hou Yi initially played the role of Puyi.

Such a distinctive actor was obviously found by Wang Xiaoshuai.

As for this person's 'death'...

“But I didn’t kill him either,” Wan Qian said.

Well, the mystery remains unsolved.

The interactive opening was quite good, and then everyone talked about the movie, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.

Ma Xun was very satisfied with this.

And he, as an observer...

Qin Lan?

Liu Tao?

Haha... Ma Xun's eyesight is still quite good.

……

Shanghai streets.

"Hey, what are you doing? Let's interact a little longer."

"Why bother? It's such a mess."

"What do you mean by 'chaotic'? The atmosphere was great!"

"Didn't you want to get close to Ma Xun?"

"Of course."

"But what opportunity is there in there?"

"That...that makes sense, but now..."

"Don't worry, I'll think of a way for you."

Qin Lan and Liu Tao finally came out, but didn't they just find nothing this time?
But, to be honest, neither of them had expected the movie to be so interesting.

These kinds of preview screenings are usually not this lively.

The movie fans were overly enthusiastic; it's worth noting that many of these so-called movie fans were also media professionals.

So, there really isn't much of a chance.

Qin Lan has now promised to help Liu Tao get close to Ma Xun.

Marrying into a wealthy family... is she getting closer?

Well, the truth is that Qin Lan herself had no other options.

But in the screening room... Qin Lan realized that Ma Xun had seen the two of them.

This is bad; it would be best to leave now.

Therefore, what he said to Liu Tao was all perfunctory.

Fortunately, Liu Tao is unaware of this truth at the moment.

Since that's the case, why don't the two of them take a good look around Shanghai?

I'm tired from walking around, so I'll head back now.

But don't want to...

"Oh dear, I have something to do."

"What are you doing?"

"It seems like there's a new movie. Why don't you come too?"

"I'm not going. Do you expect me to take it from you?"

Liu Tao answered a phone call and left.

Qin Lan naturally couldn't go with her. What if the production company took a liking to her during the audition?
So the two went their separate ways.

Unexpectedly, Qin Lan hadn't gone far when she saw someone waving at her from inside a car.

This……

"What do you want to do?"

"boarding."

Ma Xun is that simple.

Qin Lan thought for a moment... She thought she had been thinking for a while, but in reality, it was probably less than 5 seconds before she opened the car door and got in.

And soon after...

"What exactly do you want from me?"

"I didn't come looking for you."

"Why deny it now?"

"No means no!"

Unexpectedly, Qin Lan has quite a stubborn temper.

Ma Xun remained silent, and soon the car arrived near his residence.

"What's the deal with Liu Tao?"

What's the deal with that movie?

The two spoke at the same time, almost simultaneously.

"Liu Tao wants to marry into a wealthy family."

"Does this 'wealthy family' refer to me?"

"Humph!"

Qin Lan then decided not to say anything.

Ma Xun smiled and said, "So, do you want to?"

When this question was raised, Qin Lan's expression changed, but she still didn't respond.

Ma Xun then added, "You won't even have the chance."

That's really direct!
Qin Lan was furious, but just as she was about to get angry, she heard Ma Xun laugh.

"It's not too late to get off now."

Yes, now they're moving into my territory.

Qin Lan...getting off the bus?
She simply grabbed it!
Ma Xun hissed, "You're really in a hurry."

Soon, the car pulled into the mansion's parking space.

However, neither of them got out of the car.

The only problem is that the car is going up and down.

……

The preview screenings of "The Terror Live" received a very positive response.

Without further ado, it will be released during the National Day holiday.

This year is quite special, with almost no patriotic films released during the National Day holiday.

Moreover, there are quite a few Hollywood blockbusters.

What kind of success will this movie achieve?

However, some people noticed some problems before this achievement.

Recently, Zhou Zhengyi has been living a very comfortable life in Shunyi.

But that night, he suddenly received a phone call.

"That 'The Terror Live' is something else, boss, you'd better check it out."

The caller was Thirteen Young Master.

What is he doing?
Zhou Zhengyi didn't care at all; he just wanted to get some sleep. "Okay."

I just replied with that one sentence and then hung up the phone.

Clearly, he didn't take it seriously.

However, "The Terror Live" soon sparked a violent storm!
