Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 598 Wang Zhiqiuya

Chapter 598 Wang Zhiqiuya
Actually, given Ma Xun's personality, he doesn't like to meddle in other people's business.

Of course, he certainly wouldn't stand idly by while that small-time group leader bullied the female extras.

Now that he's seen it, even if he doesn't offer any assistance or call the police, he'll definitely be able to do something like that.

However, he himself also sensed that he felt something special about Wang Zhi.

Perhaps it's because I saw many similar things when I was in the entertainment industry in my past life.

In places like Hengdian, countless small and large group leaders are active.

Ma Xun must say that most of these group leaders are pretty good, and many of them are very nice.

However, it must be said that there are indeed quite a few bad apples.

The most interesting thing is that some of the larger group leaders are better off, while the bad apples mostly appear in the circle of smaller group leaders.

That's incredibly arrogant.

He's always loud and boisterous, telling everyone he knows director so-and-so, has had dinner with such-and-such a famous director, and that he can help you with any resources you need.

And it's mainly them who coerce and entice those female extras who are particularly eager to become famous.

They keep talking about banning so-and-so.

The oppression of the lower class by the upper class, especially those at lower levels, is more ruthless than that of some bigwigs in the entertainment industry.

What's the saying?

Using your limited power to cause the greatest trouble for the other party?

That's what they say, and these small group leaders really know how to use their little bit of power.

To be honest, even now, Ma Xun is already a prominent figure in our industry.

Given the current situation, he still finds it difficult to change it.

Huh? That's strange.

How did something about a group leader lead to so many connections?

Is it still because of Wang Zhi?

probably not.

Ma Xun gave a self-deprecating laugh. He had been with women prettier than her and women with better figures than her.

But...maybe it's because this girl has a certain energy, which is somewhat similar to my own.

I used to think Jing Tian was somewhat like myself, because of the fact that he had a powerful background.

Wang Zhi, on the other hand, is probably somewhat like her original self when she first entered the circle.

At that time, Ma Xun also felt that he had received formal directing training and his mind was full of artistic inspiration.

Moreover, I am prepared to endure hardship, and I do not expect to achieve success overnight.

I've considered almost every possible scenario I might encounter if I entered the entertainment industry.

But once they actually entered the industry, they were brutally beaten down by reality.

You have no background, that's okay. You don't need to curry favor or rely on powerful figures.

What good is it to just drift along until you die?
If you're prepared to endure hardship, then you'll face endless hardship.

I never expected to reach the top in one step, but I never imagined that no matter how many steps I took, I couldn't wait for the sky to appear.

Forget it.

Thinking of this, Ma Xun poured himself a glass of wine.

Let's offer a glass of wine to commemorate our past selves.

Just as the wine glass touched Ma Xun's lips, there was a knock on his door.

Ma Xun can probably guess who it is. Let's chat.

I opened the door, and sure enough, it was her.

Qiuya, oh no, Wang Zhi, just finished taking a shower, and her hair is still wet and hasn't been dried.

Wearing a hotel bathrobe.

Seeing this, Ma Xun smiled but didn't make things difficult for them, letting them in.

"Have you figured it out?"

This sentence is very rich in meaning.

Wang Zhi blushed again, but this time she gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I've figured it out!"

"Oh?" Ma Xun understood, of course, but for the moment he simply pretended not to. "What have you figured out?"

This question may seem superfluous, but it is actually a step-by-step probing.

Wang Zhi seemed to have been cornered by the guy in front of her, but she had already made a decision back in her room.

"You do it!"

He looked like a lamb to the slaughter.

However, Ma Xun also noticed that Wang Zhi's eyes were tightly closed.

This guy is no ordinary person; with one simple action, he made Wang Zhi open his eyes involuntarily.

He helped the girl tighten the collar of her bathrobe.

"you you……"

Wang Zhi made up her mind in the bathroom. She had thought it through; after all, this industry was just that dirty.

It's better to be bullied by a big shot like Ma Xun than by a nobody!

That's right, it was this impulse that brought her here.

But to everyone's surprise, Ma Xun actually... was this a rejection?
Delivered to your door, all...

Wang Zhi's face turned even redder at this moment.

Ma Xun knew exactly what he was doing, and he even knew how Wang Zhi would react.

Playing hard to get... cough cough, he admitted, he had used this tactic quite often, but this time was different. "Don't be impulsive. Girls like you are sometimes like this. If I did something when you're not thinking clearly, that would really be... I'm not a guy who lacks women."

These calm words seemed to have poured a bucket of cold water on Wang Zhi.

"what do you mean……"

Ma Xun sat down on the sofa, then gestured for Wang Zhi to sit down as well.

"I'm actually very curious, after you heard those rumors... what did you think?"

Oh? I'd like to ask about your thought process?
This is so strange.

Wang Zhi's heart was beating very fast, but since things had come to this, she decided to sit down and chat.

"Yeah, yeah...you know how to seduce female celebrities, don't you..."

"What do you mean by 'play'? That's a really unpleasant way of putting it."

"What's that called?"

Have you seen "The Warlords"?

"that……"

"You watched a pirated version?"

"..." Wang Zhi had no choice but to nod.

Ma Xun laughed, "That's right, watching pirated copies is the way to go. So, don't you understand?"

"Huh? You mean..." The female celebrity was offering a pledge of allegiance?

Ma Xun didn't offer much explanation, "Things aren't that simple. As far as your brain can tell, that's enough."

I'm not trying to say I'm any more noble than myself; I just want you to learn more about this industry.

As for the group leader, he was probably just a womanizer.

As for me, I was more concerned with my own interests.

This... it's all in Chinese, but to Wang Zhi's ears, it all sounds completely new.

She originally thought that kind of thing was just dirty.

But now, it can still have so many meanings, this, this...

Does that mean Ma Xun is high-class?
No, that's probably not the right way to put it.

Then, Ma Xun said, "You are of no value to me now. Yes, don't doubt it, you're not even worth playing with."

This, this is simply... humiliating?
However, Ma Xun changed the subject, "But if you are valuable, then I can give you a chance. Moreover, I never look at the world statically; I know that the world is constantly changing."

Would you be willing to go from being worthless to being valuable?

What does it mean?
"What do you want me to do?" It should be said that Wang Zhi finally calmed down at this point.

It felt like my brain could finally be used again.

Ma Xun said directly, "So, you want to become valuable to me?"

"Of course!"

"Great! I've heard about a play."

"A stage play? This..."

"Yes, a drama troupe, but this troupe is very closely linked to the Century Theater. If you could help me..."

"You want me to infiltrate them?"

"Pretty much, but don't go overboard."

"It's not the same."

"Okay, what I mean is, you can apply for the job. With your qualifications and abilities, it might be a little difficult, but it should still be possible."

"Is this...difficult?"

"That theater troupe is very talented."

"There's a chance? Well, what about the Central Academy of Drama...?"

“There are teachers from the Central Academy of Drama inside.”

"This theater troupe is..."

"Happy Twist".

"This……"

"Hesitated?"

"No, but if I succeed, you..."

"We'll talk about it after we succeed."

"it is good!"

Wang Zhi herself hadn't expected the conversation to go this far.
