Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 568 Scarlett O'Hara, the female lead in "Inception"! A virtuous wife and loving mother, Yan Danchen
"My goodness! This story is simply... My horse, you're a genius!"

"Is he just a genius?"

"Hehe, you're still a super genius with boundless energy, someone women can't forget!"

“Scarlett, your American vocabulary is still too limited.”

After having an in-depth discussion with Ma Xun about Inception, Scarlett Johansson, like a cow, has entered estrus.

After Ma Xun presented the initial script, Scarlett Johansson was overjoyed, even reading it while holding Ma Xun in her arms.

This shows the extent to which he was captivated.

Of course, we can't forget our most beautiful Chang'e.

This is also a fascinating exploration of art, so of course I have to join in.

However, Yan Danchen also admitted that Scarlett was indeed a rare beauty.

That figure, that face, and most importantly, she's incredibly sexy and alluring.

Although Yan Danchen had been with Ma Xun for many years, she had always been quite reserved, even to the point of suppressing her cries.

But this time...

Lost.

But now, the opportunity has arrived.

"Mr. Ma is clearly an exceptionally wise, profound, and reserved man, a noble figure with chivalrous qualities..."

Goodness, Yan Danchen is speaking English, and her vocabulary is much better than Scarlett Johansson's.

Even Ma Xun, who is usually quite thick-skinned, felt a little embarrassed.

But Scarlett Johansson immediately retorted, "Wow! You're way better than me, that's definitely true."

Well, they didn't feel embarrassed at all; in fact, they agreed.

What else can Ma Xun do?

That's settled then, hehe...

However, it was quite surprising that one of them, an American dairy cow and the other an Asian beauty, praised herself so highly.

Ma Xun knew very well that they definitely had a special purpose.

In reality, Ma Xun had already planned it out.

At that moment, with a flourish of his wings, he pulled the two beauties into his arms and laughed, "You two are so sweet-talking, it seems you really want to star in this movie."

This lecture, of course, struck directly at the most tender spot in their hearts.

As the saying goes, "to tease to the point of itch" is exactly what this means.

"Of course."

Scarlett Johansson and Yan Danchen spoke almost in unison.

Seeing this, Ma Xun smiled and said, "Don't worry, since I've made this script public to you, it means I intend for you two to play important roles in this movie."

Sure enough, he cast out the bait and two mermaids took the bait before he pulled in the net.

Scarlett Johansson and Yan Danchen were so aroused by him that they had no reason not to agree.
"awesome!"

They almost unanimously agreed, but this time it was different because they asked for details.

"But what roles do we play?"

"Yes...but, I think it should be..."

Yan Danchen knew perfectly well that, most likely, the female lead would have to be played by a blonde, blue-eyed foreign woman.

The script that Ma Xun has provided so far is actually just a rather rudimentary one, and some of the character settings have not yet been fully finalized.

Of course, neither of them could see the details of the characters in this story.

Ma Xun also liked Yan Danchen's sensible nature, and couldn't help but use his hands to make her gasp softly.

"Let Scarlett Johansson play the female lead in this movie."

Upon hearing this, Scarlett happily gave Ma Xun a kiss, saying, "I knew it, you're very good to me."

Actually, there's nothing we can do about it. Even if Ma Xun were to actually make Inception, he would still have to adopt the skin of a Hollywood movie.

After all, this was originally a Hollywood movie, and Ma Xun's ambition was obvious: to further expand his influence overseas.

At present, we cannot be impatient. If we rashly release a science fiction film that is entirely made in China and has all Chinese elements, it would be premature.

That outcome is almost certain.

Not only will the overseas market not accept it, but the promising situation in North America will be ruined. Even in our domestic film market, our domestic movie fans will not buy it.

This is not an exaggeration by Ma Xun; this is exactly the situation right now.

Therefore, we should try our best to preserve the original flavor of "Inception".

However, Ma Xun will definitely try his best to incorporate Chinese elements into the film.

It's the same thing he did before.

Don't be impatient; let's gradually and subtly carry out cultural 'invasion'.

So, this Ma Xun version of "Inception" already has Scarlett Johansson as the female lead, and now Yan Danchen is also involved...

"You'll play the male lead's wife."

what?
Yan Danchen initially couldn't believe her ears.

Although this character isn't the female lead, she's still very important.

Based on the general plot of the story, it can be inferred that the male protagonist's wife is a villain in this movie.

He can't be called an absolute villain, but he has plenty of villainous traits.

So, this is amazing!

"Brother Ma~" Now he simply uses Chinese and says it directly.

This move made Scarlett Johansson quite jealous.

They just grabbed it from the sidelines?

However, she had a counter-argument, asking, "So, what about the male lead of this movie?"

Yes, according to the script, Scarlett Johansson plays a highly talented dream weaver. She is, of course, the female lead, but the character is the male lead's apprentice.

It is also the most crucial piece of the puzzle for that important mission.

And also, the male lead is Yan Danchen's husband.

Therefore, Yan Danchen also cared a lot about it.

Naturally, you can't keep talking anymore.

“Brother Ma, this male lead…” Yan Danchen had already realized that the male lead must be a European or American male star.

However, most male celebrities from Europe and America have quite a lot of body hair, and it also has an unpleasant odor.

Those guys all use cologne and stuff to cover it up.

Moreover, as far as European and American male stars are concerned... Zhang Ziyi's previous co-stars were all quite old, especially the movie called "The Knight". The male lead was indeed very famous, but he was really getting on in years.

Now it was her turn... Yan Danchen understood that she shouldn't be picky, as that would upset Brother Ma.

But... just as she was lost in thought, Ma Xun had already given her the answer.

“I think Leonardo is good.” This… just saying that name shocked Scarlett and Yan Danchen.

"Him?" I still don't believe it.

"It seems like he might be difficult to handle." Scarlett Johansson has never acted with Leonardo DiCaprio.

It should be said that, in the original timeline, Scarlett Johansson would never have acted in a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio.

But now, it's different.

Ma Xun laughed and said, "I have some connections with director Martin Scorsese. You know, Leonardo DiCaprio's relationship with this director is like that of a mentor and friend."

Right!

There is such a relationship, although it is not the kind of friendship that Ma Xun mentioned, it is clear that Martin is in the wrong.

That means we can say that getting Leonardo DiCaprio to star in the film is not a big problem.

The key point is that our script still has a lot of fresh appeal.

Upon hearing this, Scarlett and Yan Danchen smiled radiantly.

Two pairs of alluring eyes seemed to exchange a greeting, and then... hehehe...

……

Ma Xun certainly couldn't let the movie "Inception" slip by.

After refining the script, he applied for the relevant copyright in the United States.

As for the movie, the original female lead was not Scarlett Johansson, but Ellen Page.

In fact, Ellen Page is a very high-profile actress in Hollywood right now.

She received widespread acclaim after her debut in "Hard Candy," and later landed a role in "X-Men." Overall, her career has been quite smooth.

But later... they changed the factory settings.

You should call him Brother Allen.

Many people probably didn't expect this development. Of course, she herself suffered a lot of bullying in this regard.

Anyway, during that later politically charged phase, Allen was one of the key figures.

Let's leave that aside for now, because in the original timeline, this "Inception" movie wasn't made until several years later.

Ellen Page looked younger back then, but now...

Scarlett Johansson is clearly a more suitable candidate; she's only 23 now.

So, as an apprentice, or rather, playing a female college student... no problem.

At this age, right? He's so mature.

Another key reason why Ma Xun started this film is that the Nolan brothers haven't had time to work on it yet.

They're filming Batman, The Dark Knight, which will be released next year.

So this is a fantastic opportunity!

Of course, Ma Xun also plans to contact Jin Min and suggest that they cooperate well and have an in-depth discussion about the plot.

Another point is about the Chinese elements in this film.

The reason why Ma Xun felt Yan Danchen was suitable to play the male lead's wife was because the star felt that Yan Danchen had the feel of a virtuous wife and loving mother.

I believe many men can attest to this.

It is precisely because she had this feeling that the character of Chang'e became so deeply ingrained in people's hearts.

And it would be really interesting if such a virtuous wife and loving mother became the male protagonist's inner demon.

Of course, Ma Xun also admitted that she played the original Marion Gloria quite well.

However, since this character doesn't have many scenes, it won't affect the fact that it's a Hollywood sci-fi movie.

As for more Chinese elements... let's just forget about the Japanese actor Ken Watanabe.

That's right, they should cast a Chinese actor to play a wealthy man.

As for Chinese tycoons ruining the companies of European and American tycoons, this kind of plot is definitely something that moviegoers both at home and abroad would enjoy.

Yeah, and there's also that rich man's son, Killian Murphy. He's not that big of a star yet, so we can bring him in.

Now that we've looked at Inception, it's all set!
It can be said to be absolutely perfect.

Both in terms of feasibility and the project's future prospects, it is absolutely top-notch.

That's the right way to do it.

Ma Xun's trip to the United States can be described as quite perfect.

However, there is still one problem.

When Scarlett and Yan Danchen were both exhausted, they decided to go shopping.

Another beautiful woman barged into Ma Xun's residence.

"Do you genuinely adore that slut, or are you just using her to provoke me?"

Anne Hathaway stood gracefully in front of Ma Xun.

It's as if they're laying their cards on the table.

Well, you could say that Anne Hathaway is actually a bigger problem.

Ma Xun could clearly see it...

"You're jealous."

Can this one sentence capture the heart of this tall, beautiful woman?

Anne smiled. "My dear Mr. Ma, you're always so confident. Why are you still so sure that I still care about you a lot?"

Ma Xun also laughed, "This isn't about making a judgment, but rather about what our relationship really is."

"you……"

"Our relationship is just me using you."

what?
Ma Xun was way too direct.

Even though Annie was angry, she was helpless. "Fine! You used me, but..."

Ma Xun interrupted her, "Don't you want to be used by me now? If so..."

What is he going to say next?
Anne didn't give him a chance. "No, we should continue to work together."

Oh, I understand now, Annie wants more.

Ma Xun chuckled and pinched her chin. "I know you really want to act in those movies, but you didn't say it. How am I supposed to know what you want if you don't say it?"

That's contradictory, isn't it?
But that's not actually the case.

Anne understood the implication. "You...are you saying I can't succeed on my own?"

That's right. In recent years, Anne has actually taken on some film roles quite independently.

Many of them performed quite well, but...

Ma Xun whispered in her ear, "You still have a lot of experience to go through."

Anne frowned upon hearing this, but then they kissed.
