Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 575 is set! The Princess of Beijing's Entertainment Circle, Da Tian Tian!

Although, Da Tian Tian is a chatterbox.

But Ma Xun's story still needs to be told.

In fact, Jing Tian has already been admitted to the Beijing Film Academy and has already acted. Her previous film was even produced in Hong Kong. Therefore, I am really looking forward to the story that Ma Xun is going to tell.

The death of Choi Tsz-ming is still a topic of much discussion, not just back then, but even now. Many people in the industry, especially in Hong Kong, would rather not talk about it.

The key point is that there's no definitive conclusion!

Yes, you read that right, there's no definitive conclusion yet.

Da Tiantian had always heard that Ma Xun had a powerful background. Could it be that he knew the truth?
But that's what Ma Xun said at the beginning.

"The Hong Kong police have indeed given an investigation result for this case, but it is really hard to call this a 'result'."

First, we need to know the details of this case.

On April 16, 1992, Cai Ziming returned to the company from outside. He had already reached the floor where the company was located when two cleaning workers, who were masked, pulled out a Glock gun with the muzzle wrapped in duct tape and shot him repeatedly. Cai Ziming was hit by nine bullets and died on the spot.

These are the details of the case, but the devil is hidden in these details.

On that day, there were people at Cai's company, Hong Kong Fu Yi Film Company. Even though Cai Zaiming was dead, these people were actually Cai Zaiming's henchmen. These henchmen had no idea that Cai Zaiming had been killed. After their boss did not return for a while, they called him, but the call went unanswered. They then called the driver, who answered and said that the boss had already gone upstairs.

These are the details of this case.

What comes to mind?

Ah this...

Da Tian Tian swore that she had indeed heard about the shooting before, but she had never heard such a detailed description.

This has never happened before!

Now, of course, she couldn't give any response; Da Tian Tian was completely dumbfounded.

Ma Xun knew that Jing Tian's behavior was perfectly normal at the moment, and he hadn't originally intended to ask anything.

He then said, "These details highlight several points: the assassin was extremely professional, the kind of professional enough to kill Cai Ziming not far from his company. In other words, he was very clear about this person's movements and the details of his company."

The assassin wrapped the gun with duct tape, which had a silencing effect. Although it didn't completely silence the gun, the henchmen from Fu Yi Company thought it was the sound of an electrical meter box exploding.

Moreover, the assassin was in disguise, and his weapon was given to him by someone along the way.

What did you glean from these sounds?

Da Tian Tian's eyes were bright and sparkling, but she didn't give any answer, just shook her head in a cute and blank manner.

Ma Xun was amused and continued his story.

“At that time, Fu Yi’s henchmen called the police. Yes, you heard right, the gangsters called the police.”

Later, the Hong Kong police gave an explanation: Choi Tsz-ming was originally a big boss of the 14K triad in the Netherlands, and he sold drugs.

In one transaction, he received ten million from someone, but the other party did not receive the goods, leading to a conflict between the two parties. As a result, the other party hired someone to commit murder.

Do you believe this conclusion?

Da Tiantian shook her head.

Ma Xun nodded at this moment, "Yes, this conclusion is obviously problematic. And in Hong Kong, there are actually several important suspects in this matter."

Can you guess the first suspect?

"Who could it be? It must be their enemy, right?"

"Wu Siyuan".

"what?"

Da Tiantian was stunned when she heard this name!
Because no matter how you look at it, it couldn't possibly be him.

But seeing her so adorable, Ma Xun couldn't resist reaching out and pinching her nose.

"Oh my god, you're so mean!"

Da Tiantian couldn't help but complain, but she was even more curious now and wanted to hear Ma Xun continue.

Ahem… Ma Xun coughed twice and then continued speaking.

The reason for the suspicion against Mr. Wu Siyuan is that he is the direct beneficiary.

As you should know, after this incident, they resumed filming "New Dragon Gate Inn" as normal.

It's important to know that prior to this, Cai Ziming had already used various means to obtain the entire concept and production details of the film.

"Huh? The whole shoot?"

"Yes, according to Mr. Wu Siyuan, when Cai Ziming approached him, it wasn't just to threaten him with a gun or anything, but to say that he had already made contact with us on the mainland, do you understand?"

"This……"

Da Tiantian suddenly realized that this matter seemed to have many connections with mainland China.

Ma Xun continued, "But it's obvious that it's not Wu Siyuan. He's not the kind of person who does this kind of thing. Interestingly, the person that many people in Hong Kong suspect the most is actually Li Lianjie's former manager, Luo Wei's son, Luo Dawei."

"Then this..." Da Tiantian has become more shrewd now, and she can sense that this suspect is probably not real.

Ma Xun continued, "The Luo family is quite interesting. They always manage to discover superstars, such as Bruce Lee, Big Brother Lung, and Jet Li, but they can never keep them. It's actually quite simple: their methods are too despicable, and they are simply too greedy."

Like the dispute between Jet Li and Golden Harvest, this guy surnamed Luo even wants Jet Li to owe them 300 million.

"That's outrageous!" Da Tian Tian exclaimed indignantly.

However, this is actually not uncommon in the entertainment industry. Many companies and so-called agents and bosses have very sophisticated methods. There's also that Shang guy in the future, isn't there?

“Cai Ziming poached Li Lianjie from Luo Dawei; they have a deep grudge.” Ma Xun continued, “Luo Dawei has a good brother named Chen Zhiming, nicknamed Mad Dog, who once went to negotiate with Cai Ziming with an AK.”

Ultimately, the matter was dropped.

This guy used to be a boxer, a member of the Xin Yi An triad, but he actually tried to kill Long Wu.

"This..." Da Tiantian was completely confused. Are there really people like this?
Ma Xun ignored all of that. "So now, who do you think is the most suspicious?"

Need the answer?
After thinking for a moment, Da Tiantian said, "I don't think any of these three are correct."

"reason."

“You said it, and whatever you say is definitely not true.”

Ah this...

Ma Xun was amused by Da Tiantian's logic, and Da Tiantian laughed along with him.

However, we still need to talk about who killed Cai Ziming.

the answer is……

"I don't have the answer either."

"you……"

Our sweetheart is angry! You just made such a big show of it, and you described the incident in such detail, knowing so much about it.

You don't have an answer?
"Where are the Hong Kong police?" Da Tian Tian couldn't help but ask.

"It's the survey result I mentioned before."

"What do you call that result?"

"Anyway, the Hong Kong police investigated and found those people, but they didn't arrest anyone."

"This……"

"Actually, after the incident, there was a very suspicious phone call to the police station. They claimed to be big circle boys from the mainland. They said they had been paid a million to commit murder, but those guys only gave them 50... But this call never came to fruition."

"This this……"

Da Tiantian was completely confused by this case. She had heard about it before, but she never expected it to be like this... Wait a minute!
Why are we discussing this case?

Finally, the girl discovered a blind spot.

Yes, aren't we currently working on the Lunar New Year film season?
"Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots" VS "The Warlords"!
This is the key point now. You've rambled on and on for so long, you... Of course, Da Tian Tian wouldn't dare say these things out loud.

Ma Xun continued speaking as if he hadn't heard Da Tian Tian's words.

"Actually, there is a very special person in this whole incident, and he is the strangest one."

This person is Jet Li.

If one is suspected because of profit, like Wu Siyuan, then Li Lianjie is also a suspect, and quite a suspect at that.

After Cai Ziming was killed, Li Lianjie was terrified. He fled back to the mainland and stayed in his hometown of Beijing for more than four months.

But here's where the interesting change happens.

When Jet Li returned to Hong Kong more than four months later, it suddenly seemed as if the whole world had changed.

Before Cai Ziming died, it's true that Li Lianjie had a lot of box office appeal, but he was also bullied everywhere.

But this time when he arrived in Hong Kong, no one bullied him anymore. Moreover, he even started his own company, the one called Zhengdong.

Jin Yong also gave him a name.

Both Golden Harvest and Win's Entertainment, who had previously treated him so well, now sided with him.

These……"

Ma Xun paused deliberately at this point.

It seems like Da Tian Tian suddenly had a flash of insight; she actually understood!
"Did Li Lianjie kill Cai Zaiming?... Oh no, I mean, someone must have helped Li Lianjie! And this person must be extremely powerful and influential. Even Golden Harvest or Lung Wu, or any of the Yi Si K or Yee On triads, wouldn't dare to say a word?"

After listening, Ma Xun nodded.

Then, he finally brought up the current box office war.

"I don't know who this big shot is, but now, the movie 'The Warlords' is a complete blockbuster."

It's not just about Lung Wu Investment in Hong Kong; companies like China Film Group and Bona Film Group are also involved.

Therefore, if this blockbuster flops, its box office will collapse.

If this mishap had happened on our behalf, what do you think that big shot would have done to us?

Got it! Got it all!
"To beat 'The Warlords,' you have to beat Jet Li, and to beat Jet Li, you have to beat the big boss behind him!"

Ma Xun nodded in agreement with Da Tiantian's words.

Children can be taught.

That's right, that's exactly what happened, and there are more details to it.

"Young lady, to be honest, I don't know who this bigwig is, or even if he's still alive. After all, it's been over ten years. Besides, Li Lianjie's current path might have nothing to do with him..."

Before Ma Xun could finish speaking, Da Tiantian interrupted him, saying, "Then what are we going to do? We don't even know who our opponent is, how are we supposed to fight?"

Yes, that's crucial.

Ma Xun was actually waiting for Da Tian Tian to say this: "That's why I hope you can help me."

Oh! I get it!
It was only then that Da Tiantian realized how vast the gap was between her and Ma Xun.

They've been planning this for a while now, and they're fully in the game.

Can you not agree?
"When you got me to join this project, did you already have a plan in mind?"

Ma Xun nodded directly, "It's no use denying it."

That's decisive!
Da Tian Tian looked somewhat downcast, lost in thought, but finally said, "Anyway, both movies are already scheduled for release, so I can't refuse to help you, but this help..."

Ma Xun was even more direct, saying, "We're dismantling a protective umbrella, but our methods are rather unusual. If you could reveal your background..."

Before she could finish speaking, Da Tiantian interrupted again, saying, "I don't have any background."

Ma Xun laughed, "Okay, you don't have any background? That's alright, I'll create one for you, how about that?"

"Huh?" Da Tiantian was completely confused.

Ma Xun said with a smile, "With my strength, Jia Yueting's strength, and that Mr. Lu's strength, well, I won't say anything."

I could actually portray you as a girl with an incredibly impressive background.

We won't say it outright, but you must have a powerful background and connections.

In short, use this powerful background design to intimidate the other party.

This is equivalent to removing the protective layer of "The Warlords".

how is it? "

“This…” Da Tiantian hesitated.

Ma Xun simply lied, "It's all fake. Whenever you don't want it anymore, we can go back to being ourselves. Isn't that better?"

Good guy, really good guy!

Ma Xun's move was really impressive!

This is called: when falsehood is taken for truth, even truth becomes falsehood.

Whether Jing Tian has a powerful background or not is irrelevant.

I'll help you create a persona.

As for whether others believe it or not... well, you will get a lot of great resources in the future.

Many people would assume you're a princess with an incredibly powerful background.

Therefore, it doesn't matter what Jing Tian's background or what wealthy family she comes from; it really doesn't matter at all.

Jing Tian's hands, which were gripping the cup, had turned white.

Clearly, she was hesitant to the point of nervousness.

Ma Xun then added, "You don't need to rush to make a decision. You can decide after the movie is released; it's not too late."

What does it mean?
Da Tiantian raised an eyebrow. "You mean, this film, 'Getting Home,' is sure to beat 'The Warlords'?"

Ma Xun gave a direct answer: "If someone else were to do the marketing, it probably wouldn't work, but in my hands, it's guaranteed to win!"

This is not just about confidence, nor is it simply about showing off.

When Ma Xun said this, no one in the entire entertainment industry thought it was outrageous.

This is word of mouth!
But in the end, Da Tian Tian still didn't make a decision. Here's what she said.

"Can I watch this movie? I haven't seen it yet."

Ma Xun nodded, of course; however, he was now certain.

Success in winning over Jing Tian!

In this way, the two no longer needed to stay in the bar and went home separately.

After the breakup, Ma Xun got into his car and made a phone call.

"Hey boss, what's the schedule?"

"You'd better get some articles out right now."

"What manuscript?"

"About Jing Tian."

"she?"

"Yes, it's her. And the content of the manuscript is roughly like this: it subtly reveals that Jing Tian is an actress with a very important background, and her family background is extraordinary!"

"This...this is..."

"Wang Changtian, aren't you asking a bit too many questions?"

"Boss! I'll get right to it! Don't worry!"

"Okay! You're the one I trust the most."

"Boss! Watch my performance!"

After hanging up the phone, Ma Xun couldn't help but smile.

Whether Jing Tian agrees or not, I'll do what I'm supposed to do.

Hmm...right, weren't they originally the Four Beauties of the Capital?

The four beauties haven't all gathered yet, so let's just call you Jing Tian the 'Princess of the Beijing Circle'.

Goodness, they've even come up with a nickname for him!
