Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 506 Yang Rong and He Qing, Masami Nagasawa stars in "Yesterday's Me".

Ma Xun's attitude was really discouraging.

Anyway, Yang Rong was really hurt.

She hadn't even explained it clearly enough, so why was Ma Xun reacting like this? He... he...

It's obvious that someone like Ma Xun, a big shot in the entertainment industry, has probably encountered this kind of situation far too many times.

Yang Rong naturally thought of Hao Lei's words; this Ma Xun was indeed someone whose level was much higher than hers.

So, does that mean there's no chance?

Yang Rong walked back dejectedly, but before she had gone far, a car strangely stopped next to her.

An unfamiliar car, a Porsche, needless to say, and the people in the car are also...

"Hi, little girl."

"Oh? Teacher He?"

Unexpectedly, after the car window rolled down, He Qing's pretty face was revealed.

Yang Rong thought to herself, "I'm not that familiar with you."

But at this moment, she certainly couldn't say much, so she kept calling him Teacher He first.

In the Chinese entertainment industry, it's like this: calling someone "teacher" is never a bad thing.

He Qing, on the other hand, was quite interesting. She smiled and said, "I did notice you before."

"Before?" Yang Rong didn't react for a moment.

"It's during the audition, you know." He Qing explained, sounding a little impatient.

"Oh, oh." Yang Rong nodded. Actually, what she was thinking was that He Qing had seen her at the parking lot entrance, which was quite embarrassing.

But then...

"Girl, it's so stupid of you to send it up like that, you know?"

Oh no, He Qing did see that awkward scene!
Yang Rong really wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear this time.

He Qing laughed, "However, your boldness is quite interesting. Have you encountered some difficulties?"

"me……"

"Don't be shy, are you having difficulties at home?"

"No."

"what is that?"

“Um…” Yang Rong understood what He Qing meant, but could she give this reason for coming here on her own initiative?
But then He Qing suddenly said, "I was originally planning to help you."

As she said this, her expression clearly showed displeasure.

Yang Rong gritted her teeth and said, "Teacher He, I'm just not willing to accept this!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Rong herself felt that this reason was probably not sufficient.

After all, this was just a matter of personal grudges.

However, He Qing smiled after hearing this, "Good! It's good that you're unwilling to accept this!"

Huh? Is this... really enough?

Yang Rong stood there, stunned, when she heard He Qing's voice.

"You have ten seconds: get in the car or leave?"

This...choice...

Yang Rong gritted her teeth and immediately opened the Porsche's door.

……

in the office.

"Yang Rong???"

Honestly, the appearance of this girl was indeed an accident.

However, Ma Xun didn't think he had anything wrong with himself.

It's not like I have to chisel something just because someone delivers it to me.

Even a beautiful girl like Yang Rong, who has both looks and a great figure.

To be fair, Yang Rong's slightly shy demeanor was indeed quite attractive.

But this is strange, why did she come?

Is it just because she wasn't chosen in this audition?

Actually, if that doesn't work, you could consider the third or fourth female lead.

So, maybe this girl came with a mission.

Ma Xun was indeed overthinking things, but he had always been very cautious.

Moreover, given the current situation, Enlight Media and many of its subsidiaries are developing exceptionally well.

It would be fine to say that everything is great.

However, the opponent has changed.

The Wang brothers were crippled by Ma Xun. He originally thought he would have a break, which would allow him to dominate the entertainment industry for a while.

They even arrogantly declared, "Who else dares to challenge us?"
Unexpectedly, Accountant Jia suddenly appeared.

Well, this could actually be considered a mistake on Ma Xun's part, as they hadn't anticipated this situation at all.

But that's normal, too.

From Jia's perspective, if Huayi has run into problems, he will definitely be the first to take over.

After all, he had already built up LeShi.com, and he really needed resources from the film and television industry.

It's the same principle as when he later spent large sums of money to buy the broadcasting rights for the Chinese Super League and the NBA.

It's all about needing content.

He entered the industry too late and had no experience, so he could only make up for it by spending a lot of money.

However, there is one thing to note.

The company listed in Singapore is not Leshi.com.

It's highly likely that the company will soon go bankrupt.

That accountant Jia is the kind of guy who cheated Lijia Village out of their money, then ran away and came back to cheat other people out of their money.

That guy is pretty mean.

However, the struggle between Ma Xun and Accountant Jia has not yet officially begun.

The previously released film "Silk" doesn't even qualify as a struggle between them.

The film is not doomed just because Ma Xun hasn't shown any of his tricks yet.

Rather, this film is at best a remnant of the previous dynasty.

It was the Wang brothers who did it.

However, judging from the media, some tabloids are already hyping up the conflict between Ma Xun and Accountant Jia.

After all, the film was produced by Chen Guofu, and three of Ma Xun's beautiful women attended the premiere.

In fact, Ma Xun's move was quite clever.

It means simply telling the other party that it doesn't matter whether it's Accountant Jia or Chen Guofu.

Don't mess with me, I'm not one to back down from trouble!
Just like the failure of this film, Silk, if you insist on causing trouble, then I can only deal with it.

Although Ma Xun could say he didn't do anything, the movie is over.

In fact, from the perspective of the original timeline, this movie is very bizarre.

Despite Su Zhaobin's great fame and the highly successful film "Double Vision," mainland Chinese moviegoers are largely unaware of his film "Silk."

Judging from the cast of this movie, this situation is simply impossible.

So, there's only one reason.

This movie is surprisingly bad.

To put it nicely, the director wanted to give way to too much.

To put it bluntly, this movie is a complete mess.

That's all for now.

Ma Xun was about to go to the United States when a phone call came in.

"Mr. Ma, regarding the film 'Yesterday's Me and Tomorrow', do you have any special requirements for the male and female leads?"

It's Daiyama; this guy is quite invested in the Japanese version of this movie.

After all, the "Red Cliff" project is too big, and besides, if this movie is to be made, it will be filmed in China.

"Yesterday's Me and Tomorrow's You" was originally intended as a "side deal" in the bidding for "Red Cliff".

Toho couldn't be said to have taken this film lightly, especially after having some industry experts watch it.

They thought the project was quite good.

So, let's start filming.

As for the issue of the male and female leads, according to the normal production process of Japanese film and television dramas, they do indeed need to pass Ma Xun's test.

To put it simply, it requires the original author's approval.

In Japan, the cost of adapting a novel or comic into a film or television series is very cheap, almost a consensus in the industry, at around '50 yen'.

Yes, you read that right, that's all. Unless it's a particularly outstanding, phenomenal masterpiece, the adaptation rights can sell for a higher price.

Japan has its reasons for giving so little.

After being adapted into a film or television series, the original work will experience a surge in sales.

Yes, the adaptation rights don't cost much, but you can make it back in other areas.

However, since the adaptation rights are still too limited, film and television production companies usually give the original author some 'rights' to compensate.

Casting—that's one of the powers.

This is, of course, only the right to make suggestions. However, if no agreement is reached and the original author is dissatisfied with the casting results and expresses some negative opinions, it is permissible.

That would be a huge blow to the film and television production.

And isn't Ma Xun the original author of the play "Yesterday's Me and Tomorrow's You"?
Of course, we should listen to his advice.

Soon, Da Shan rattled off a string of names.

After listening for a while, Ma Xun made a decision immediately.

"Masami Nagasawa, but this time she'll have to be number one."

Upon hearing this, Da Shan paused for a moment before laughing and saying, "OK! OK!"

What do you mean?

Masami Nagasawa is quite popular now, but Japan is a society that really values ​​seniority.

Take the movie "Crying Out Love in the Center of the World" for example; it was the box office champion that year.

Masami Nagasawa plays Aki, the female protagonist of the original novel.

What we outsiders can't understand is that the female lead in this movie is listed as Kou Shibasaki.

This is something that people who don't understand Japanese entertainment generally can't comprehend.

The scenes featuring Masami Nagasawa and the storyline in the movie are hundreds of times better than the character of Kou Shibasaki.

How could Kou Shibasaki be the female lead?

It's a matter of seniority, since this was Masami Nagasawa's first film, and she later won the Academy Award for Best Newcomer.

Ma Xun's direct emphasis on "first place" this time is a message to Da Shan.

Don't mess around, I have sharp ears and eyes, I can see everything.

Da Shan naturally said OK.

Ma Xun, of course, also had to take this Japanese version of "Yesterday Me and Tomorrow You" to heart.

Because what was discussed before was that he would directly acquire the Chinese rights to the film.

Yes, we'll upload it again once it's filmed.

Moreover, since it's a Japanese film, it's much more convenient to travel to the capital of Taiwan.

The box office in Hong Kong and Taiwan is expected to be very good.

I earn two cents for each movie I make.

What a wonderful thing!

After confirming this matter, Ma Xun then arranged some other tasks.

Then it was time to set off for the United States.

……

airport.

"No, we're about to board the plane, why haven't you shown up yet?"

"Boss~ Don't worry, it's coming right away."

"Hurry up."

"Don't worry, we'll definitely make it."

Ma Xun hung up the phone. He would have to take He Qing with him on this trip to the United States.

After all, she was his secretary, and she could help him with many things.

It's likely that Cherie Chung won't be coming to film this time; her main assistants will be James Wan and Anne Hathaway.

But they are all quite busy, so it's estimated that Ma Xun himself will be the main force.

Therefore, he needs someone to help him.

As for Bai Xiaohang, he has some things to take care of and will come over later.

But what's going on here?

It hasn't appeared yet?

Ma Xun felt a little anxious and glanced at his watch.

It's indeed very close to boarding time.

But when Ma Xun looked up again, a pretty figure appeared in front of him.

"Boss, um, Sister He's child went to the hospital, I'll cover for her. My visa is all set, and I've also studied English."

It's Yang Rong!
As soon as she appeared, Ma Xun immediately understood what was going on.

I felt inexplicably annoyed and also amused.

So he gave the girl a piece of advice.

"The reason your sister He just gave doesn't seem to have anything to do with the child."

Good guy!
Yang Rong's originally fair face instantly turned red.

Yes, definitely, she's digging her big toe into the ground!
but.

"What are you doing? Keep up, it's boarding time."

Ma Xun still took her with him...
