Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 596 Fooling an International Director! Encountering Qiu Ya as an Extra Again?
“Ma, I’ve suddenly realized something.”

"what?"

"So, you like women who are fierce and petite too."

"Fake!"

"what……"

Actually, Scarlett didn't discover that. What she really discovered was that saying that would provoke Ma Xun.

But this is enough to prove that Scarlett is a person who likes to court death.

Ma Xun wasn't actually provoked; he just wanted Scarlett to shut up.

Or, just let her make those meaningless sounds.

Even if a talkative slut has a great figure, she still needs to be severely punished.

Fortunately, Scarlett didn't really want to die.

"I never knew you were so amazing."

Have you ever heard of Traditional Chinese Medicine?

"of course."

"I have taken traditional Chinese medicine."

"Really? Wow, that's amazing... Wait, I didn't mean that... I meant movies!"

Scarlett's reaction was quite amusing; she even showed a rare shyness.

Well, in fact, Scarlett isn't that old now. She may be a bit flirtatious, but she should also be shy when necessary.

Moreover, she genuinely wanted to talk about movies.

Ma Xun scratched his hair at this moment, "Actually, when I was in China, I never harassed female celebrities on set."

Scarlett found this very interesting.

"You mean, I'm the most special one?"

Hey! That's what she actually thought.

Ma Xun laughed and said, "Your opinion makes some sense. After all, you do have a great figure."

“Hehe…” Scarlett got arrogant, “Eastern women are all smaller.”

Ma Xun replied, "But we're not as smelly as you guys."

Smelly?
This was something Scarlett couldn't tolerate at all!

"I don't smell bad! I just don't smell bad!"

Well, the thing is... telling the truth is the best policy.

Western women are indeed large-breasted, but most of them also have that sexy vibe.

Of course, there are other methods, such as using various perfumes, but Scarlett is actually quite mild-smelling.

Ma Xun's words were indeed a bit excessive.

but……

The two quickly kissed again.

It seems this is the real thrill.

"Actually, I originally wanted to talk to you about serious matters this time."

"But I don't think you're serious at all."

"Let's talk about movies!"

"Okay, so what exactly do you want to say?"

"After seeing this shot, director Martin was deeply moved."

"Oh, what does he mean?"

"He thought...you know, Martin Scorsese once said he would be an assistant to a Japanese director."

Akira Kurosawa.

"That's right, but you're not Akira Kurosawa."

"Hehe... I understand what you mean. In the film industry of this world, my fame is indeed not as great as that of Akira Kurosawa."

When Scarlett got to this point, Ma Xun already understood.

Simply put, it's this explosion scene from my own movie, Inception.

This made the great director Martin very eager to participate in our film.

That's understandable, considering that Ma Xun has some connections with the great director Martin Scorsese, and the film also features Leonardo DiCaprio, one of Scorsese's most trusted protégés.

The relationship between Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese... well, it probably won't go beyond the relationship between Sirius Black and Leonardo DiCaprio.

But let's leave that aside; there's another reason.

From a director's perspective, Martin Scorsese is indeed a top-notch director, and he has a strong pursuit of cinematic art.

Ma Xun had heard about this great director's achievements during his classes.

He once spent half a year filming a single shot.

This is indeed a true story.

Although he did it when he was relatively young, he was definitely a movie fanatic.

After seeing the explosion scene shot by Ma Xun in "Inception"... director Martin Scorsese was truly amazed by Ma Xun's talent.

So now Scarlett is here... she should be a lobbyist.

Ma Xun grabbed a steamed bun and said, "You slut, you're definitely going to be in his movie, right?"

Scarlett frowned, but knew she couldn't hide it anymore. "I think this is a good thing for everyone."

She wasn't wrong.

Ma Xun released him, then said with a frosty expression, "What conditions did that old bastard Martin offer?"

Scarlett then smiled and said, "He said you can name your terms."

"I open?"

"correct."

"Any conditions are acceptable?"

"I suppose he's a well-known director; you wouldn't just let him make a film without paying him a single penny, would you?"

"I really want to do that."

"what?"

Scarlett only then realized how audacious Ma Xun was.

Actually, this American girl had no idea that Ma Xun had done this kind of thing quite a lot in the past.

And now...

"Heh, that old man Martin, he's more interested in fame, right? Fine, I can give him a position, but as for the money..."

"You really don't want to give it?"

“He could be involved in this movie.”

"This this……"

"Anyway, just tell him that. As for the name... well, it's just friendship. Of course, I'll definitely give him a red envelope after the movie is released."

Giving red envelopes... is actually just a side effect of 'making a cameo appearance'.

Although the industry rule is that 'cameo appearances' are unpaid, these are usually big stars, and everyone relies on personal relationships. So, after filming or when the movie is released, they will give each other a red envelope (cash gift).

The amount of money certainly won't be much.

But it won't be particularly little.

Now, Ma Xun has simply brought up this unspoken rule of our domestic entertainment industry.

Scarlett's eyes widened. "He can't possibly agree to that, can he?" Ma Xun simply stopped talking; he was hungry for steamed buns.

……

In May, the disaster still broke out.

Ma Xun is a time traveler. He prayed that this disaster would not happen.

However, we also made some preparations.

That meant funding several rescue teams, mainly from the surrounding area.

When disaster strikes, these rescue teams rush to the scene immediately.

Naturally, Ma Xun provided ample financial and material support.

Donations will be made later.

His donation was very specific; it was for Teacher Han.

In short, she's the only one I can trust.

As for Li Lianjie having a foundation or something... let's forget about it.

This is probably the limit that Ma Xun can achieve.

He is indeed a time traveler, but he is not a god.

Then I heard news from Cannes.

Zhang Ziyi held an impromptu fundraising event at a certain event, aiming to raise one million yuan.

Ma Xun knew about this, and it later became a point of contention for some people to criticize her, accusing her of fraudulent donations.

Zhang Ziyi really did nothing wrong in this matter.

After all, it was a last-minute donation, and the amount was only tens of thousands of yuan less. You have to know that these tens of thousands of yuan were in RMB, while the donations at that time were in Euros or US dollars, so there was an exchange rate issue.

We should be reasonable people. To accuse her of fraudulent donations just because of this small difference is really going too far.

Moreover, you have to look into the details, like that big-eyed thief... let's not even mention the amount she donated.

It would be embarrassing for the entertainment industry to say this out loud.

So, at least from this perspective, Zhang Ziyi isn't a bad person.

Let's leave that aside for now.

The key point is that there's an old American witch in Cannes.

This old slut is really not young anymore, and looking at her resume, all she has is that one famous movie she starred in back then, which relied on selling her body and sex appeal.

After that, there was nothing left.

Many people jokingly compare her to Houston, the king of mid-range shooting.

Anyone who watched the New York Knicks vs. Spurs series back then remembers Houston; he was indeed accurate.

But after that one big contract, he practically disappeared.

Just like that old slut.

This time, the old slut was probably injected with something by some monk, which is why she started spouting nonsense.

As soon as she said that, the whole world criticized her.

All kinds of brands have been abandoned... they've basically just stuck to one thing: "Serves them right!"
As for who won at Cannes this year, it seems like nobody cares.

While the Cannes event has concluded, filming in Barcelona continues smoothly.

However, Ma Xun has already prepared the next filming plan.

That means we'll come back to China to film.

Some scenes in the original Inception were filmed in Japan.

Let's change it now, let's film it in China.

High-speed rail, and also dramas about China's rich.

In short, this is where our version saves costs.

Just a few days after the filming began in Barcelona, ​​the renowned director Martin made his choice.

He took the initiative to find Ma Xun.

“We can use the name of communication.”

"No problem, I can even use my connections to provide you with a very official channel."

"Oh really?"

"How about China Film Group organizes a Sino-US film art exchange?"

"Vairochuda!"

Martin, the old man, gave a thumbs up.

After these past few days, he's become increasingly eager to participate in this film.

Now Ma Xun has softened his stance a bit.

"After filming is finished, I'll give you a red envelope (cash gift), and nominally, you'll be the producer of this show, how about that?"

The payment method, the position... the terms have been set.

Martin Scorsese hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but finally nodded.

His thick eyebrows certainly give him a distinctive character.

"Okay! It's settled then, but... you have to promise me, this movie has to be a success!"

Listen to what he's saying... the old man really wants fame.

Ma Xun smiled and shook hands with him, "Absolutely a success!"

Good grief, now he's left us with no way out!

And so, they both laughed.

However, Ma Xun essentially spent a small amount of money to find himself a director's "long-term worker".

He can leave now. As for the red envelope, just give him $100,000.

Little money.

So Ma Xun returned to the capital.

But after returning, he went somewhere first.

There's a film and television city near Beijing, which is where Zhang Guoli and his team filmed "Kangxi's Private Visits".

This film studio isn't very popular right now, which means it's cheap.

Ma Xun plans to build a film set for "Inception" here.

It mainly features outdoor scenes.

Since the scenes are set in the city, it's best if we film them in Beijing.

Being closer this way can save a lot of costs.

But when he arrived at the film studio, he suddenly spotted a familiar face.

She was dressed quite plainly, like she was playing a minor role, but her chest was bulging.

Qiuya?

Oh no, she is Wang Zhi.

Hmm, should I go up and ask?

Why am I playing a minor role here?
Unexpectedly, when Ma Xun arrived in front of them, he asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I...you...I don't know you!"

Are you still pretending we're not close?
