Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 390 Giving birth isn't enough? Bingbing also has to redeem herself through meritorious service?
"Brother Ma, am I...am I stupid?"

"which aspect?"

"You know."

"It's nothing. At your age, it's normal to make mistakes."

"Brother Ma, you're so kind."

"What's wrong? You still want it?"

"Mmm...mmm~"

Bingbing has come to her senses and returned to the right path, but she was originally worried and scared.

In other words, will Ma Xun hold a grudge against her and not give her a chance to come back?

Of course, broadly speaking, Bingbing is still an artist under Ma Xun's management, and she is still signed with Ye Quanzhen.

But after all, he did come out and film a series of movies, including one with Chen Kaige.

It's common knowledge in the industry that this famous director and Ma Xun are at odds.

So, will the current situation...?

Fortunately, Brother Ma isn't the kind of person who holds grudges.

Honestly, Bingbing really regrets it now, because she has finally seen through it all.

Director Chen is the petty and narrow-minded one.

Brother Ma is really much stronger.

Fortunately, although Bingbing returned to acting, she didn't go too far.

At least her body hasn't been touched by anyone else.

This can be seen as a way out for herself, and looking at it now, it's actually not bad.

That's why Bingbing and Ma Xun... were so impatient.

She was actually trying to get her brother Ma to verify her identity...

And then... oh well, I can't take it anymore.

My mind is too incapable of thinking about anything else.

At this moment, Bingbing's brows were furrowed and she was biting her lip, clearly enduring something.

A small, fair hand was gently pushing against it.

The other one was gripping the sheet tightly.

This only increased Ma Xun's interest.

Actually, as soon as Bingbing asked that question, Ma Xun knew that this little vixen was already scared.

Ma Xun had long understood Bingbing's logic.

At her age, she won a Best Actress award, and most importantly, she completely shed the label of being a maid.

At least, she could be considered an equal to that big-eyed thief, Yanzi.

Who wouldn't get carried away by that?

Once they get carried away, they're bound to do some unusual things, and might even become rebellious.

Ma Xun had anticipated these events, so naturally everything was under control.

After all, she was still signed with Ye Quanzhen, and the people around her were all Ye Quanzhen's.

If you think about it a little more, it's actually Bingbing from the original timeline.

Ma Xun had also heard some interesting gossip.

In the original timeline, Bingbing was exposed to a lot of scandals during that period.

The analysis Ma Xun made earlier was probably done by Huayi Brothers, since Bingbing had just left Huayi Brothers to start her own studio at that time.

Bingbing was able to get through this safely, ostensibly thanks to Yang Tianzhen, but was she really such a big, fat girl with such genius skills?

Actually, there are other people behind it.

His name is Mu Xiaoguang. He was originally a broker in Taiwan Province, but later he went to the mainland to develop his business. His most successful case was helping Bingbing get through this crisis.

That's right, Yang Tianzhen was just a front. She had just graduated from university at the time, so how could she have handled so many scandals?
Mu Xiaoguang is different; he has been working in the entertainment industry in Taiwan for a long time and has a wealth of experience.

Moreover, according to rumors within the industry, many of Bingbing's most talked-about remarks were actually orchestrated by Mu Xiaoguang, such as: "I am the rich and powerful!"

Yes, this was really popular back then.

There are still quite a few.

As for who this Mu Xiaoguang is, many people should have seen him. He usually acts as Bingbing's bodyguard, wearing black sunglasses and a black suit. He even smashed a reporter's computer.

Actually, this guy is not just a bodyguard. He did a lot of work to help Bingbing get back on her feet.

Conversely, will Bingbing be able to get through that phase safely?
Obviously it can't be done.

In the entertainment industry, many people actually create a persona.

Just like that line about being a "rich family herself," it certainly highlights Bingbing's personality, but unfortunately, the truth is that she was taught to say that by someone behind the scenes.

But now, Bingbing doesn't have anyone to help her at all.

Going out for a walk and getting a bloody head injury wouldn't be too bad.

Besides, she's actually doing quite well now.

Although she did not receive as many benefits as she had expected after starring in "The Promise".

But it did bring her considerable profits, which could be considered a minor promotion.

In fact, in the original timeline, Bingbing was always planning to collaborate with a famous director.

Ma Xun remembers that in the original timeline, although she didn't get to film "The Promise," she did later film "Sacrifice."

Yes, there are also sea eagles inside.

Bingbing's goal is actually to elevate her status. After all, even if the film flops at the box office, working with a big director would still be extremely beneficial for her.

Shedding her maidservant persona was of great significance to her.

In "The Orphan of Zhao", her role had very few scenes; she was basically just a decorative vase.

But she was still willing.

Now that she has the opportunity to film "The Promise" as the female lead, how can she resist such temptation?

Unfortunately, she had no idea just how bad the movie was.

Fortunately, Bingbing isn't stupid. She saw the signs of failure in "The Promise" and Chen Kaige's film, so she immediately changed direction.

And so she came back and threw herself into my arms, Ma Xun's arms.

Ma Xun viewed this action as: a wise bird choosing a good tree to perch on. This, too, is a sign of intelligence.

Bingbing is the kind of person who isn't particularly smart, but she's definitely not stupid either.

Ma Xun felt that it was even more necessary to promote a girl like this.

Moreover, she was very sincere, wasn't she?
Just like now...

She was very fair-skinned; although not particularly large, her body was fair enough.

And Ma Xun really liked it.

Inject positive energy... no, no, it should be injected.

Bingbing's body was tense, but she couldn't hold back. She trembled uncontrollably as she prepared for the final impact, which felt like a punishment.

But she couldn't help liking it; in fact, she had fallen in love with it.

Finally, the positive energy has been received.

She held onto Ma Xun's hand tightly, but now she could loosen her grip a little.

"Brother Ma~ what happens next?"

The burst of sweat made her hair stick to her pretty face, her skin as delicate as a freshly peeled egg, white with a rosy glow.

Ma Xun stroked her hair and smiled, "What do you mean by 'after'? After having a child?"

This teasing remark made Bingbing both embarrassed and unable to suppress her laughter. "Brother Ma~ you know what I mean."

Ma Xun had no choice but to be more serious and said, "Your feeling is right. 'The Promise' will definitely be a disastrous failure. However, after all, it is a movie by Director Chen, so there will definitely be people who will support it."

What I mean is that if this movie is released, it will definitely have box office success, after all, the cast is very strong.

And if you're planning to do something, then encourage him to release this film during the Lunar New Year holiday season.

What are you planning to do?
Bingbing understood immediately, "Brother Ma~ I will definitely make amends for my crime."

Not bad, not bad, she's a smart girl.

Having a child is a way to show sincerity in an apology. If that can help get "The Promise" released during the Lunar New Year season, wouldn't that be a way to atone for one's sins?

Bingbing's ability to distinguish these things shows that she is indeed intelligent.

However, there is still a small problem.

"But isn't the Lunar New Year season the best time to release a film? What if 'The Promise' takes a lot of box office revenue?"

Goodness, Bingbing is completely focused on Ma Xun right now, she doesn't even care about the box office of her own movie. She's even hoping that "The Promise" will have a lower box office.

But Ma Xun smiled and said, "The SA-RS has affected all industries, including our film and television industry. Now we should do our best to revitalize this market."

If this movie can achieve high box office returns, it will also revitalize the market.

Moreover, our blockbuster "Warriors of Heaven and Earth" needs a good competitor.

As for winning or losing... you mean...

Before Ma Xun could finish speaking, Bingbing kissed him.

This was to shut Ma Ge up.

Yes, Brother Ma will definitely win, how could he possibly lose?
What's next for Bingbing...?

"Brother Ma~"

"That's about enough. If you go too far, you won't be able to get pregnant."

Huh? You even have experience with childbirth?
Sure enough, all those investments made for fun weren't in vain.

……

Bingbing and Ma Xun spent a few days together before Bingbing returned to China.

After all, she still has to redeem herself through meritorious service.

Meanwhile, Ma Xun will continue his activities in Tokyo, since the film festival has only just begun.

There's still some time before the final awards ceremony.

However, his event naturally attracted a lot of attention.

These people are no ordinary people.

Especially now, after its screening, "Incense" has received a lot of praise.

Many people are focusing on Ning Hao, the new director, while others are focusing on the film's main actors.

However, when it comes to international film scalpers, the focus is definitely on Ma Xun.

Here they are.

"Mr. Ma, it's great to see you again, haha..."

“Mr. Harvey, you’ve come at just the right time.”

Yes, it's Harvey again. This old swindler has reappeared, leaving Ma Xun at a loss.

"Haha...we should still cooperate well. The recent film 'Incense' has received really high praise. How about this..."

Ma Xun interrupted him directly, "200 million US dollars to buy out the overseas copyright?"

That was a rather cunning remark.

Harvey quickly corrected him, "This, this won't do. This film is worth $200 million, that's really, you know."

It ends with "you-know".

Harvey clearly lost by a small margin.

Ma Xun laughed heartily, "I don't believe you came here just for this movie."

Get straight to the point!

That's right, Harvey could only nod, "I heard that 'Kung Fu Hustle' is about to finish filming..."

That guy is still up to something!

Ma Xun didn't hold back.

"Want to talk? No problem, but you must show sincerity."

What does sincerity mean here?
Harvey gritted his teeth and said, "How about I put up $300 million for these two movies!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Xun turned and left.

Wow, that's decisive!

"Mr. Ma, Mr. Ma..."

Harvey is completely lost...
