Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 573 A Misunderstanding - Zhang Junning? "Lust, Caution" and "Perfect Match" Rival Each Other!
"Mr. Ma, this year's Newcomer Award..."

"Oh, didn't I just mention this? Well, let's talk about it now. This newcomer award has nothing to do with me."

"What? You... why didn't you say so just now?"

"No, why did I say that? You're so impulsive, of course I'm just going along with you."

"you you……"

"What's wrong with me? It's all the same."

"But……"

"But what? Oh, you regret it now? You're not as carefree as before?"

"No, it's just that..."

"It's okay. I respect other people's choices. We were just having a one-night stand. If you want to change your mind now, it's not too late."

Good guy!
Last night's rain pattered on the banana leaves, and the two of them were incredibly energetic.

Looking back now, it turns out to be a misunderstanding?
Anyway, Ma Xun wasn't lying. The task he had assigned to Ye Quanzhen was simply to suppress Tang Wei.

Give her a gift bag that will leave her empty-handed.

As for whether Zhang Junning can win the Best Newcomer award, Ma Xun really didn't assign that task.

Based on his conscience and principle of not taking credit, there's nothing wrong with Ma Xun speaking out at this time.

Well, as for why I only mentioned it after it was all done, well...

“But you, you…” Clearly, although he didn’t finish his sentence, Zhang Junning’s meaning was very clear.

There were some minor complaints.

Ma Xun simply laughed and said, "If a beauty like you were to be so willingly presented to me, wouldn't it make me seem unromantic if I refused?"

Great answer! Absolutely an excellent answer!
These words left Zhang Junning in a dilemma, unable to refute them or continue speaking.

The key point is that there's something clever about what Ma Xun said.

A beauty like you.

Jin Yong truly understood women's psychology. He mentioned in his books that every woman in the world likes to be praised for her beauty, and even beauties still enjoy hearing it.

Zhang Junning was, at this moment, exactly...

Unexpectedly, the hotel room door was suddenly opened.

what! ! !
A woman walked right in, and Zhang Junning screamed, grabbing a few pieces of underwear and scurrying into the bathroom.

The person who came was Ye Quanzhen.

Seeing this, he laughed and said, "Oh, what's there to be shy about? You've already done it, why are you afraid of being seen?"

Good guy, really good guy.

Upon hearing her say that, even Ma Xun couldn't help but say, "Don't say that. After all, your arrival was indeed sudden."

Upon hearing this, Ye Quanzhen immediately put on a hurt expression.

"Boss, are you... forgetting the old for the new?"

As she spoke, she lunged into Ma Xun's arms.

Ma Xun laughed and immediately caught Ye Quanzhen's delicate body, "You really are always acting, aren't you?"

They directly exposed Ye Quan's pretense.

Of course, the person wasn't angry at all; instead, they laughed out loud, "Boss~ just let them perform a little longer."

Her sweetness was just right.

Ma Xun laughed as he pinched Ye Quanzhen's chin and kissed her.

The two lingered together for a while.

That's one way to answer.

After they separated, Ye Quanzhen, catching her breath, said, "Actually, I helped her with that newcomer award. At the time, I thought it was just a small thing, and someone had to accept the award anyway."

These words were certainly not meant for Ma Xun.

Sure enough, Zhang Junning soon peeked out of the bathroom, her face still flushed with embarrassment.

"Thank you, Sister Ye."

After thanking them, they crawled back inside.

Her reaction made Ma Xun laugh.

I think Zhang Junning is quite an interesting girl.

"That's it for the Golden Horse Awards. I have to go back to the mainland soon. The Lunar New Year film season is in full swing right now."

What does Ma Xun mean by this?
"Can't we stay a few more days?" Ye Quanzhen even started to whine.

Well, in terms of the skill of acting cute, she is much better than Zhang Junning.

By this time, Zhang Junning had already put on his basic gear and came out, but the scene before him was...

"Well, I... I won't bother you any longer. In the future... I still want to leave, please don't worry."

What is she saying?
Anyway, I hurriedly put on my clothes and ran away.

Fortunately, she was prepared; she didn't wear the evening gown but took it with her, and now she was dressed in a simple and refreshing outfit.

When I heard the door slam shut, I figured the long-legged model had already left.

Ye Quanzhen and Ma Xun exchanged a glance and both laughed.

"Boss, I've actually checked. Zhang Junning's family background is quite clean. She only has her mother at home, and her mother is no ordinary person. She's a well-known children's book author in our area, so her family has a good reputation."

As for this time... I reckon she's furious. She won't get anything at the Golden Horse Awards, and nobody's helping her. As for the one who can help her... hehe..."

"Niu Chengze?"

When Ma Xun mentioned the name, Ye Quanzhen nodded.

Actually, there's some gossip going around that Zhang Junning is this guy's girlfriend.

However, the woman did not confirm this, and Niu Chengze is known to be a rather promiscuous guy.

The nominated film, "What on Earth Have I Done Wrong? The Way of Survival," was made by the two of them. It was made in a documentary style, probably a mockumentary.

In the movie, Mr. Niu is a real scoundrel who goes to great lengths to get a role, including paying homage to influential figures and begging on his knees.

Zhang Junning plays his girlfriend, who can't stand this jerk anymore.

However, judging from the reviews on this island, this film is the best one this year.

That's true. Although it didn't receive much recognition at the Golden Horse Awards, the film certainly became a focal point.

Zhang Junning has now won a newcomer award, which is not bad.

However, Ma Xun could certainly understand what Ye Quanzhen meant by those words.
"You want me to promote her?"

"Why not? Anyway, she's yours now."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"Boss~ I wouldn't dare, I'll just..."

Ye Quanzhen is apologizing with her words again.

As Ma Xunsiha was looking around, many images of Zhang Junning did indeed appear in his mind.

She does have potential, but there's a catch.

"Then she'll have to come to the mainland to develop her career."

If she can still talk like that, it seems Ye Quan really needs to step up her game.

……

In fact, in the original timeline, Zhang Junning went home empty-handed at this year's Golden Horse Awards.

She's won an award now, which is pretty good.

But some people still went home empty-handed.

She is Zhang Jingchu.

She got nothing; she didn't even make it onto the final shortlist.

You know, every actor has a bit of pride and arrogance.

Zhang Jingchu is in the same boat. Although she usually keeps a low profile, this time... she was genuinely hurt. So, why?

Although Louis Koo was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, he did not win the award.

But after all, they were shortlisted.

In other words, the film "Protégé" has a certain level of backing.

It should be said that they have the ability, but not enough.

So what should she do?
For a moment, I felt somewhat lost.

Anyway, let's go home first.

Yes, leaving Taipei is a must.

And at the airport...

"Hello, Ms. Jiang Wen and Ms. Zhou."

"Oh dear, you can't say that, teacher. I'm your junior sister."

Zhou Yun seems to be in the same year as Tang Wei, but two years younger than Zhang Jingchu.

Therefore, she dared not accept the title of "teacher".

Jiang Wen was very sensible and said, "You senior and junior sisters can chat."

Yes, we should avoid this situation at this time.

So, Zhang Jingchu and Zhou Yun started chatting.

"This Golden Horse Awards is really something, we didn't actually win any awards."

"Really?"

"Giving them an editing award is... well, that's pretty good."

"Yes Yes."

The two quickly got to talking about movies, and when the topic of awards came up, Zhou Yun became a little angry.

The film "The Sun Also Rises" was actually nominated for several awards.

Unfortunately, in the end, I only received a small prize.

This is indeed a bit excessive, considering that quite a few people came to "The Sun Also Rises".

But will this matter... bring Zhang Jingchu any comfort?
Obviously not, but when she looked at Jiang Wen again, hey... there were two more men.

Ma Xun and Bai Xiaohang are also going back to Beijing, let's all go together.

I ran into them while waiting at the airport.

Let's chat.

"My Mr. Ma, this movie..."

"The box office is not bad."

"what?"

Jiang Wen was initially a little ashamed, but Ma Xun's comment that the box office was decent brought a smile to his face.

What does "it's alright" mean?
Ma Xun's original task was to break 100 million!

Unfortunately, the film "The Sun Also Rises" never broke the 100 million mark.

It stopped at the 5000 million mark.

However, Ma Xun thought it was not bad.

He remembered that in the original timeline, this movie didn't even reach 2000 million.

Now, after Ma Xun's actions, it's more than doubled.

Although the boasting to the theaters didn't succeed, the theaters were still quite understanding.

"They said that the film's performance was already quite good, and it did indeed fill the gap in screenings."

These words seemed to provoke Jiang Wen.

"No need for further words, I'll go back and start working on my next project, and I'll definitely make you money!"

"Okay! It's settled then!"

Ma Xun was quite happy; now the next "Let the Bullets Fly" was a sure thing!

This project cannot be interfered with by anyone else.

But then, Zhang Jingchu's gaze fell upon them.

Ma Xun simply ignored it.

……

Beijing Airport.

"How about we go out for a meal?"

"I think my sister-in-law looks like this..."

"Then next time."

"it is good."

Ma Xun, Bai Xiaohang, and Jiang Wen parted ways.

Bai Xiaohang has completed another bodyguard mission. It should be said that during the shrimp fishing trip in Taipei, he was ready to fight at any moment.

After all, that setting seemed more suited to a gangster film.

But for now, let's go back as soon as possible.

After Ma Xun got into his car, he noticed a figure in front of it.

"Miss Zhang, what do you mean?"

"Can I get in the car?"

Zhang Jingchu's words were clearly loaded with meaning.

Ma Xun laughed, "Since you came up here, I'll take that as a gesture of goodwill."

There's a hidden meaning in his words.

"Ma Xun! Can't you help me?"

Zhang Jingchu was clearly also angry.

Unfortunately, Ma Xun's heart was as hard as iron.

"Help you? Just for your body? Miss Zhang, I don't lack women."

Crit!

Zhang Jingchu could only dejectedly walk away.

Ma Xun started his car, but as he passed by her, he said, "You should focus on acting. Don't waste your talent. Be a serious actor."

A powerhouse?
Actually, in the entertainment industry, this phrase is sometimes used as an insult... Some people may not believe it, because the subtext is: it's hard to become famous, and most of them play supporting roles in dramas.

Will Zhang Jingchu be furious?
No, she actually calmed down at that moment.

"Thank you for your suggestion, Mr. Ma."

To be honest, her reaction at that moment made Ma Xun think of her a little more highly.

But now, it's just this one glance.

……

The battle for the Lunar New Year film season has already begun!

With the support of the Golden Horse Awards, "Lust, Caution" grossed over 6000 million yuan in just ten days after its release!

It's worth noting that this was despite Tang Wei not winning any awards.

If she had taken something, the news would have been blown out of proportion even more!
At that time, "Sophie's Revenge" was released.

This movie became an instant hit as soon as it was released!

The box office in its first week exceeded 3000 million!
When everyone calculated the box office figures for these two films... that is, the box office revenue they generated during the same period of their theatrical run.

They're neck and neck!
