Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 545 The First Time Using Jing Tian

"Mr. Ma, we're going to take the exam now."

"Hey bro, why don't you sign our Xiao Shuang first?"

"This... needs further investigation."

"What's there to research? We're all from the same hometown!"

"Ahem, this matter does indeed require further investigation. Don't worry, the results will be available soon."

Today is the preliminary test, which is actually the most important round of exams.

Of course, many candidates take the exams for more than one school. They usually try out all three: Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, and Shanghai Theatre Academy. Some even try out for the PLA Academy of Arts and Communication University of China.

Later, Meng Ziyi, she herself said, went to all of these schools, but she failed the military arts exam.

Reason: He can't sing.

Thinking about these things is still quite funny, but now, Ma Xun no longer wants to get involved.

He seemed to have achieved his goal, yet he also seemed not to.

Forget it, let's go back first and talk about it later.

As for the two rising stars he's been in contact with, Ma Xun has a very strange feeling about Da Tian Tian.

There's a unique pride, or perhaps arrogance, in that sweet look in her eyes.

Could it be that……

As for Shuangzi, her current state is quite in line with the fate of the characters later on.

A slightly aloof and beautiful young woman.

However, signing Shuangzi is not something Ma Xun is in a hurry to do.

This girl is rather aloof. Signing now will only reinforce her aloofness. Besides, this girl has a rather eccentric personality.

Of course, some people have analyzed that Shuangzi's later emotional instability was likely due to her plastic surgery and excessive dieting, which resulted in her not eating much carbohydrate for a long time.

Regardless of the reason, Shuangzi poses a significant risk to Ma Xun.

So, let's not rush and wait.

Now that it's the dead of winter, Ma Xun certainly wouldn't stand outside thinking about these things.

He got back to his car, but wasn't in a hurry to drive.

Think about it a little longer, there's no problem.

And thinking about this... Ma Xun couldn't help but recall Da Tian Tian's eyes again.

As we all know, Jing Tian has very big eyes, and because her face is small, they appear even bigger.

And that look in his eyes... hmm?

Suddenly, the pair of eyes in his mind appeared before Ma Xun's eyes.

A young girl appeared in front of Ma Xun's car; it was Jing Tian.

This surprised Ma Xun, and the girl even walked over and knocked on Ma Xun's car window.

Ma Xun was decisive; instead of rolling down the car window, he opened the door directly.

The girl got into the car, but sat in the back seat.

This position is strange, especially since it makes Ma Xun uncomfortable.

However, at this moment, Ma Xun still chose to smile calmly.

"Miss Jing Tian, ​​the exams are over so quickly?"

That's a very good question.

Jing Tian smiled and said, "My exam number is quite early, and I'm quite confident about this exam."

What does she mean by that?
"It seems you're very confident about the art exam."

Ma Xun has been talking about art exams all along, but there's more to his words than meets the eye.

privilege?

Anyway, Miss Jing Tian should be able to tell.

"I guess so. Anyway, if Beijing Film Academy isn't good enough, there's always Central Academy of Drama."

"Hmm, that's a good point."

Jing Tian managed to dodge it once, but Ma Xun was a much more experienced fellow.

"Ms. Jing Tian, ​​let's just say what we need to say. Otherwise, it's making me very awkward to have you sitting in my car like this."

"Oh, what's so embarrassing?" Jing Tian chuckled again, then guessed, "Are you afraid of some kind of scandal? I heard before that you seem to be dating that very sexy Scarlett Johansson?"

That's a bit of a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) way of saying it.

Ma Xun didn't deny it, but he didn't continue on that topic either. "Let's talk about your business instead, otherwise, if someone sees us like this, they might think I'm your driver."

Oh, so that's where the awkward part is.

It's not some kind of scandal or gossip.

This made Jing Tian laugh. She wasn't very old yet; she was just beginning to show her potential. But there was something special about her laugh.

But then Jing Tian said, "You came here today because of me, didn't you?"

The question was phrased as a question, but her tone was very certain.

Knowing there was no need to dwell on the issue, Ma Xun simply said, "That's right, that's indeed the case."

Jing Tian continued, "Although I don't know where you got this information or how much you actually know about me, I think you've come at the right time."

what?
When Ma Xun heard this, he had a strange feeling.

"What do you mean?"

"It's very simple. My current situation is that I've contacted people from Wanda and then from Leshi. I originally thought that you were the only one left in this circle, but I probably won't be able to contact you, so there's nothing I can do about it."

But now that you've shown up, isn't that great?

These words sounded strange, but Ma Xun understood them perfectly.

It turns out that Jing Tian clearly knew everything about himself.

She knew someone would support her, she knew... well, of course she knew why, she must know whose girl she was, otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to run away from Beijing Dance Academy.

Getting into the Beijing Dance Academy is no easy feat, but she ran away without even trying. And now she's taking the entrance exam for arts programs, and she's doing so "smoothly." Ma Xun guesses she's just going through the motions with the teachers and that's it.

Yes, quite a few actors actually passed the audition this way, but many of those who passed are indeed very talented.

But this girl is clearly not in the category of strong.

And now, she knows everything about herself so clearly, and she's even revealed this situation.

Ma Xun became increasingly interested. "Alright, I've appeared. I did come here for you. So, what do you plan to do?"

This issue has been completely clarified.

Jing Tian became increasingly confident. "I've already signed with a company, but I've always really liked your company's work."

It's not just you; the works of directors like Ning Hao, Chen Hong, and even Kang Honglei are all quite good. Huayi Brothers has indeed produced many good works, but overall, I don't really like them.

Furthermore, there's been no news yet regarding Leshi and Wanda.

Overall, Mr. Ma, your work is the best, so if I could appear in your work, hehe... that would be fantastic.

At this moment, Jing Tian's words inexplicably gave off the feeling of a spoiled young lady.

But this feeling isn't too bad.

Ma Xun laughed after hearing this, "Then why don't you just sign us?"

That was definitely a very clever test.

After listening, Jing Tian thought for a while before saying, "Mr. Ma, you are really amazing, but I can only say that I have already signed with the company."

Of course, she didn't need to say it; Ma Xun already knew it.

Ma Xun asked this question because he was actually testing whether Jing Tian had the ability to act independently.

Yes, if you're really such a powerful young lady, then why are you trapped in Lu's company?

Since you like our Enlight Media, why don't you just break up with Lu's company and sign with us?

It's that simple.

However, Jing Tian couldn't do it.

Ma Xun already had a plan in mind.

Jing Tian's background is definitely not weak, but it's not to the point of being unscrupulous.

It's possible that her background involves collaborating with Lu and the people behind Accountant Jia, and that they're promoting her.

If that's the case, then things will be much easier.

Ma Xun immediately changed his tune, "I'm a very honest person. You want to act in our project? No problem. But what will I get in return?"

"what do you mean……"

"You must have heard the rumors about me."

"you……"

"Ha ha……"

Interestingly, Jing Tian blushed at this point.

Ma Xun was definitely doing it on purpose; he's completely shameless. But this little girl might not be so sure.

"Shall I make a promise?"

"What promise?"

"What they can get, you can get too?"

Jing Tian's answer is quite good.

But Ma Xun has now clearly regained the initiative, and he laughed, "But I've always wanted more."

These words angered Jing Tian. "You...you don't think you're so..."

Ma Xun interrupted her, "Little girl, how long have you been in the industry? Don't act like a spoiled princess in front of me."

Wow, that's really something!
Jing Tian was angry but couldn't vent it, and just then... Ma Xun received a phone call.

"wait for me."

When I looked at the phone, it was that arrogant guy.

"Hey, Director Zhang, what's your decision?" Ma Xun's mind raced, and he cut straight to the point.

Zhang Yang's tone on the other end of the phone was clearly troubled. "Mr. Ma, the investors say that your offer is too small. Could you increase it?"

"Add? Director Zhang, that's going a bit too far."

"How am I the one who's going too far? Mr. Ma, what you're saying..."

"Let's get this straight, does your movie really have the budget you're claiming?"

"This... requires an investment of at least 4000 million."

"4000 million? Hah... Who are you kidding? Even if this movie has Uncle Benshan and Sister Dandan in it, but..."

“Mr. Ma, I really didn’t lie to you.”

This conversation is a bit strange. Ma Xun's voice is very loud, and he doesn't even mention me.

Didn't Jing Tian listen to everything?
Naturally, Jing Tian was also quite strange, and Ma Xun stopped talking to her.

Covering the phone, he turned to Jing Tian and said, "You heard about this movie now, right? Uncle Benshan and Sister Dandan are in it. If you'd like, I can give you a chance for a 5-minute cameo. If you want it, nod now. If you don't want it..."

"Yes! Of course I want it!"

Jing Tian immediately became excited.

This is a great opportunity to work with Uncle Benshan and Sister Dandan.

That's wonderful!

Of course, Ma Xun's statement means that the movie might be remade, but in reality, remake is a joke.

We'll just film some stuff about Jing Tian separately, then put it in the movie, and that's it.

As for what he filmed... Mr. Wu Ma played an old man who held his own funeral, right?
Okay, let's have Jing Tian play this old man's granddaughter.

Of course, just let her film it herself, without changing the original storyline.

But Ma Xun certainly had his own reasons for doing this.

"Alright, now let's see just how strong you really are, Miss Jing."

"W-what do you mean?"

Jing Tian was quite confused, but then Ma Xun started talking on the phone again, so Jing Tian had no choice but to shut up.

Ma Xun said, "Director Zhang, the conditions have changed now. How about this, I need to add someone to the team. This person is a friend of mine, and her name is Jing Tian."

I won't say more, just find a way to get this girl on board. As for the rest... I hope you're well-informed.

Well-informed?
Should Zhang Yang add Jing Tian to the list?

What are all these?

Ma Xun hung up the phone immediately, leaving Zhang Yang completely bewildered.

Even Jing Tian himself was somewhat shocked.

But Ma Xun made a gesture to wait a moment.

really!

Not long after, Zhang Yang called again.

"Mr. Ma! No problem! Our deal is done! I'll definitely add that lady to the deal too!"
