Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 446 Multiple Choice Question? Four Beauties on the Same Boat? I Want Them All!
"What are your special feelings about filming in mainland China?"

"Actually, if I had to say something, I would say that the mainland is more professional."

"More professional? In what way?"

"It's like makeup. When I'm on a film set in Taiwan, sometimes I have to do my own makeup. But in mainland China, wow, there's a whole team. Once you get there, you don't have to do anything. Someone will come and take care of everything..."

"really?"

"Of course."

"Ah, no wonder~"

It's a hit! It's really a hit!
This wasn't a small fire, it was a huge fire! A super huge fire!

Jingwen was not an unknown actress before; she already had considerable fame.

But after the broadcast of "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre", she has become a star again!

It's safe to say that Alyssa Chia is one of the top celebrities in China today!

Moreover, in the realm of television dramas, she is absolutely a ratings draw.

The fire was so large that even she was somewhat surprised.

Honestly, I had thought this show would elevate her status, but I didn't expect it to be this much.

She's being reported on by so many media outlets, and there's a huge amount of discussion about her online. It's just... awesome!

Jingwen has truly succeeded; she has become incredibly famous, and her fame has even spread to Taiwan.

That's right, I'm being interviewed by Taiwanese media right now. They came to me on their own initiative, and they're even doing the interview from mainland China.

Of course, this version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" will definitely be broadcast in Taiwan, and Ye Quanzhen has already reached an agreement with the TV station there.

This also involves Aunt Qiongyao's daughter-in-law, but that's not something Jingwen can get involved in.

That's fine too; now she can just focus on being a good star.

And accepting this interview from my hometown, and the subsequent broadcast, doesn't it all mean that I, Alyssa Chia, will become a sensation in my hometown again!

Thinking about it that way... it feels even better!

Jingwen's current mood is indescribable.

It was incredibly enjoyable.

However, there are also some shortcomings.

After the interview, Jingwen reunited with Yuanyuan.

"Jingwen, you're working way too hard."

"Look at what you're saying. You're young, of course you should work hard! Didn't you just finish filming over there and come here right away?"

Actually, Yuanyuan's "too much" was pointed, even a bit sarcastic.

Jingwen pretended not to understand, but she still made a small counterattack.

You say I have to work hard, but you don't?

The film that just finished filming, of course, refers to "Qinghong". This film was shot in the mountainous area of ​​Guizhou, which was quite difficult.

Therefore, Yuanyuan naturally wouldn't continue talking about this and simply changed the subject.

"Given the current situation, it seems we'll have to wait quite a while to see the boss."

"Well, that's probably the only way."

Jingwen's response carried a sense of sorrow.

In fact, the topic Yuanyuan raised was good, and very good!
Based on the past and the current situation.

Jingwen and Yuanyuan, one playing Zhao Min and the other Zhou Zhiruo, are incredibly popular right now.

After the ratings for "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre" broke 3%, they did not stop but continued to rise.

It peaked at a level close to 6.

Of course, this is the highest possible rating. On average, this show might have a chance to reach a rating of 4.

Don't underestimate this 4; in terms of average viewership, it might just be the most popular show on local TV stations this year.

With such explosive popularity, not only Jingwen and Yuanyuan are in the spotlight, but also others like Xiaoran and Yaya are receiving a lot of attention.

Under these circumstances, should I meet with Ma Xun?

Let's stick to the previous principles.

When it's hot, everyone should try to keep a certain distance.

But, this time is different.

Yuanyuan actually had her own thoughts, but it was definitely not okay for her to say that she wanted to meet with Ma Xun. Fortunately, Yuanyuan was very certain that Jingwen absolutely wanted to meet Ma Xun.

Because... it's the 'struggle' she mentioned before.

“Jingwen, I know the situation, but you’re different. If it were before, it would be fine, but this time you just had a baby and then went with the crew to promote the film. You’ve really put in a lot of effort. Let’s not talk about anything else, at least let the boss see his child.”

Okay, Yuanyuan, what you said is absolutely right!

They directly targeted Jingwen's most vulnerable spot, and it was completely flawless.

Indeed, Jingwen gave birth and immediately began her recovery, presenting herself in her best condition before the show aired.

But the time was very short, and it was indeed very hard work.

After Yuanyuan said that, Jingwen could no longer suppress her desire to see Ma Xun... At least let him see our child!
But this matter...

"It's you, you little slut, who wants to see your Brother Ma, isn't it!"

As expected of Jingwen, she saw right through Yuanyuan's intentions.

"I... I'm definitely not as eager to see you as Sister Jingwen."

"As expected! You're going to use me as an excuse again!"

Alright, Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo are having a fight.

The two were actually thinking similar things, so this round of laughter and banter was mainly for laughs.

The jokes and laughter aren't the key point; the key point is how to see him.

Given their current situation, what can they possibly do?
"We... well, maybe we should wait a little longer."

"What if we bring in other people too?"

"What do you mean?"

"Many hands make light work..."

"I think it's a case of 'the law doesn't punish everyone'."

"Hehe... Sister Jingwen, aren't you very insightful?"

"what!"

Alright, Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Min have stopped arguing; they already have a plan.

……

"Wow! You're amazing! Filming according to your script would be fantastic!"

"I only offered some opinions on that script."

"It's precisely because of the insights of these experts that we've achieved such success."

"Haha... Hey Fatty Wang, when did you become such a good flatterer?"

"This isn't flattery, boss. These are the truths. We're all truly impressed by how successful your business is now."

"Tell me, what are your new plans?"

"Wow, the boss is really something else. This new plan is..."

Wang Pangzi deserves credit for the outstanding quality of "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre" this time.

Actually, starting with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Fatty Wang has been the director. He has done a very good job in on-set coordination and other aspects of his work.

The success of this trilogy was indeed partly his achievement, and Ma Xun couldn't pretend not to know. Now, Fatty Wang wanted to make some demands, and that was fine with that.

Sure enough, this guy plans to make another movie, which will naturally be a co-production between mainland China and Hong Kong, but with a stronger Hong Kong style.

"Boss, I know that Hong Kong films are beyond saving, but we still have many old friends, so..."

“I understand, but my requirement is simple: I must make money.”

"Don't worry, boss, all I really want to do is make money."

"Since you're so quick-witted, that's good."

The two ended their conversation there.

With Ma Xun's support, Fatty Wang plans to make more Hong Kong films, which is only natural.

Ma Xun understood what this guy was thinking. Although Fatty Wang had been in the mainland for many years, he was still a Hong Konger after all.

It's truly disheartening to see Hong Kong cinema reach this point.

Many people have already explained why it all ended up being a disaster, so Ma Xun won't go into details.

One very obvious reason is the lack of successors.

The Hong Kong entertainment industry now seems to have a number of promising new talents.

People like Nicholas Tse and Edison Chen.

But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that these people are almost all second-generation rich kids.

Each one has a background, and each one has an extraordinary origin.

The one who is attracting the most attention right now is the son of the eldest brother, Long.

What we're saying is that with newcomers like these emerging, it's safe to say that the Hong Kong film and television industry is doomed.

The simplest principle is that acting skills are the interpretation of a character. These people have no shortage of resources and they can receive professional training, but how can they interpret ordinary people?

Nicholas Tse has already tried his best, but his acting skills have always been criticized.

Therefore, the future will be filled with veteran Hong Kong actors who keep performing, unable to stop even if they want to.

Even when Nicholas Tse was old, he looked back and realized there was no one left.

Conversely, the Hong Kong entertainment industry won't promote ordinary people anymore.

Because nobody's stupid; everyone knows this industry is very profitable.

Promoting someone requires investing a lot of resources.

If an ordinary person were to become a superstar in the future, he would definitely run away on his own.

Therefore, capital has no other choice.

Ma Xun understood the situation, but couldn't help thinking about the entertainment industry in mainland China.

Well... I hope this kind of future comes later.

Ma Xun knew very well that twenty years from now, the Chinese entertainment industry would be full of second-generation rich kids.

He was thinking about this when suddenly someone knocked on the door.

"Brother Ma."

"Oh, Yaya, why are you in such a hurry?"

The person who came in was Ya Ya. She had just been knocking on the door, so it was obviously something urgent.

Moreover, when Ya Ya came in, she was covered in sweat and looked very anxious.

"Something happened to Sister Jingwen."

"Something happened? What's wrong?"

"She fell ill..."

"Then let's go to the hospital."

"But, you know..."

"Well... okay, let's go!"

Upon hearing Ya Ya's words, Ma Xun indeed became anxious as well.

Jingwen had just given birth not long ago, so it was indeed inconvenient for her to go to the hospital.

So, although Ma Xun didn't know much about medicine, he was a man after all, so he went over to take a look and make a decision.

If all else fails, then take them to the hospital.

Forget about whether there will be any gossip; people are the most important thing.

Unexpectedly, when Ma Xun drove Ya Ya to the place...

This is, of course, the way Ya Ya pointed out; it's a courtyard in the suburbs.

The car was parked, the person got out, and then went inside...

"Zhang Wuji! Do you still remember me?"

This... Pearl?
"No, you..."

Ma Xun saw Xiao Ran, dressed in the costume from the play, who was clearly Zhu'er.

Xiao Ran quickly grabbed his arm and pulled him inside.

Ma Xun naturally sensed the trap, but his arm was trapped by Xiao Ran's pair of large hammers, and he couldn't pull it away.

And as we delve deeper into it...

"Zhang Wuji! You actually don't want me, you want her instead!"

This... Zhou Zhiruo?

Yuanyuan's portrayal of Zhou Zhiruo this week is truly the embodiment of Zhiruo herself.

But she wasn't the only one; Zhao Min was right next to her.

"Zhang Wuji! Don't forget the three things you promised me!"

Good grief, didn't you say you were unwell?
Jingwen, dressed in Zhao Min's clothes, looked dashing and heroic, showing no signs of illness.

Ma Xun simply turned to look at Ya Ya.

At this moment, she could only shake her head with a bitter face.

Clearly, she was different from the other three; she hadn't changed her clothes!
What hope do four women have for each other in the same boat?

Ma Xun bluntly exposed the situation!

His words surprised Yuanyuan and Jingwen.

Because I didn't think that much about it at the time, I just wanted to... have some fun with Ma Xun.

This is indeed the situation now, so what should we do?
Ya Ya was the most obedient of them all, and she asked directly, "Brother Ma, if you were Zhang Wuji, what would you choose?"

That's a good question, and the other three women were also looking on expectantly.

Ma Xun laughed heartily, "Only children make choices! Of course I want them all!"

Upon hearing this, all four women blushed with embarrassment.

"Oh dear, you..."

"Don't run away! All of you, get out of here... Ah~"

"You guys are so mean! Hmm~"

"No...no..."

Good guy, really good guy.

Today we've broken the previous rules, but with four beauties in the same boat, let it be.
