Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 63 Get the point! "Nanhai Sanlang"!

Chapter 63 Get the point! "Nanhai Shisanlang"! (The third update)

"Martial arts?"

"There's nothing strange about this."

"But, but..."

"Oh, you idiot, there are not so many buts. The more projects he takes on, the more opportunities we will have."

"That's true, but it doesn't seem easy."

"Oh? Yuanyuan, I didn't realize you were so worried about him."

"No! I just thought that if he messed up, we would be in trouble."

"You, your duplicity is written all over your face."

"no."

"Okay, keep listening."

Ma Xun's arrival was indeed unexpected.

Since it's an accident, let's take a closer look.

Hao Ling and Yuan Yuan came together to peek.

Well, it wasn’t really a peek, I just hid my body for a bit and listened to the conversation between Ma Xun and Mr. Zhang.

You know what, I did hear something.

Ma Xun wants to make a martial arts film?
This is indeed a hot spot.

However, there is a problem with this hotspot.

As far as Hong Kong is concerned, the martial arts craze is actually over.

Although at the moment, it is still a martial arts film being filmed.

But if you ask an industry insider in Hong Kong, he will definitely say it.

It's a martial arts film, it's pointless.

Even if this statement is pushed back 20 years, it won't be a problem.

Er Dongsheng has mentioned this many times during interviews.

On the day he entered the industry, his master told him that there was no future in martial arts.

But later he still made a lot of martial arts movies.

This is because there are a few important people.

One is Chu Yuan.

He made twenty or thirty martial arts movies in a row, which was considered to have saved this genre.

The other one is Xu Laoguai.

His series of works, especially "Swordsman 2".

Let martial arts rise again.

Even Qingxia rose together.

The beauty at that time also succumbed to the years.

But after the release of "Swordsman 2", Qingxia's acting range was suddenly broadened.

She filmed many martial arts films afterwards, and each of her roles had the shadow of Dongfang Bubei in this movie.

Not only the styling, but even the acting is the same.

Classic stare.

In fact, Qingxia’s Dongfang Bubei is completely different from the one in the original novel, it is a huge modification.

Many people certainly don’t know that Mr. Jin Yong was extremely angry because of this magical change.

Later, Xu Yong was unable to obtain the adaptation rights for Jin Yong's works.

However, this news remains secret, as Jin Yong is a man of letters after all.

Outsiders don’t know that they have a falling out.

As for martial arts in our mainland... it is still in its infancy!
We in mainland China have produced martial arts dramas and martial arts movies.

But there are really not many that become really popular.

Most of them end up losing money.

Hao Ling and Gao Yuanyuan have only been in the industry for a short time.

Don’t forget that the crew of our “Tai Chi Master” are all veterans in the martial arts circle who have been shooting martial arts films for many years.

During the filming process.

Hao Ling and Yuan Yuan hear conversations like this almost every day:
"What are you still doing? This martial arts world is over a long time ago."

"You mainlanders are just stupid. Now Hong Kong and Taiwan don't make movies anymore."

"There's no future, no way out."

As for complaining, anyone who has worked in a job will understand.

But this also created some weird atmosphere in the crew.

Most people think that our "Tai Chi Master" has no hope.

In such an atmosphere, Ma Xun now proposed that he also wanted to promote martial arts!
What could Hao Ling and Yuan Yuan think?
There's nothing wrong with worrying about your boss's business going bankrupt.

Wait, why are they so close now?
This is of course because of the appearance of Li Xiaoran.

Although, this girl Li Xiaoran is usually quiet and just films as required.

However, Hao Ling and Yuan Yuan are not stupid.

"Foreign enemies are invading! Sisters are united!"

"Uh-huh."

Hao Ling raised the flag first, and Yuan Yuan followed later.

The main focus is internal unity first.

But it was okay later on. Li Xiaoran really didn't do anything weird.

Ma Xun came again this time...she didn't react much.

However, we cannot let our guard down!

Of course, their sisters' unity means...

We sisters cannot let outsiders take advantage of the resources arranged by this guy Ma Xun!

That’s right, interests come first.

"Sister Hao, if the next one is a martial arts drama, then we..."

"Next time you'll be the heroine."

Okay, let’s divide it among sisters first.

It's just a little bit of fun.

Ma Xun had almost finished chatting with Mr. Zhang, so he decided to go back.

As for the female artists under his company...what is there to talk about!
Just meet and nod.

This is a movie, so just do it well.

Ma Xun never denied that he was greedy for money and lustful, but he also had principles.

Now they are still newcomers and they are the bosses.

Talk as little as possible on the set.

Just acting like this...

"Ma Xun, I didn't expect you to be so good."

Sister Hong is very fond of this.

Ma Xun still didn't say much, just said one sentence.

"Let's talk when we get back to Beijing."

After saying that, he drove away.

Sister Hong’s car followed.

Once the two of them left, they naturally wouldn't see it.

There was a girl who was secretly looking at the entrance of the Pijiaying Film and Television City.

……

The small courtyard is still the same small courtyard.

Except persimmon trees are affected by the season.

The rest seem to have not changed much.

"Why don't you wait for me?"

As soon as Sister Hong came in, she complained. This made Ma Xun shake his head helplessly, "Sister Hong, I feel like you're a little too proud now."

When Sister Hong heard this, she not only didn't care at all, but also came over and sat on Ma Xun's lap.

"What? Just drifting away? Is that not okay?"

Good boy, to be a beauty like Diao Chan.

She speaks to you with a little bit of arrogance and a little bit of complaint.

Even a straight man has to become soft and gentle.

Ma Xun admitted that he was also attracted by Sister Qing's beauty and the little bit of coquettishness that she casually revealed.

I have no resistance.

But right now, he still has to get down to business.

The pleasure of making money is better than having women at the moment.

"Sister Hong, is "The Soong Dynasty" popular now?"

"Of course, this... isn't this good?"

When Sister Hong was asked this question, she noticed that Ma Xun's expression was very special.

So, he changed his tone halfway through his words.

“Being favored doesn’t necessarily mean that the film will be successful.”

Ma Xun's words sound simple, but they actually mean a lot.

He could see that Sister Hong was indeed a little bit arrogant recently.

Well, given our current cooperative relationship, I'll just give her a little warning.

Sister Hong is still thinking more about movies at the moment.

"In my opinion, this drama is OK. The pace is quite fast, and the cast is very strong. Isn't it going to be a big hit?"

Ma Xun smiled and asked, "You have hidden a lot of information before. Now let me ask you, is this drama directed by Hong Kong and is it a historical drama?"

Sister Hong showed a puzzled expression.

"Of course, this drama is a foreign investment, and Hong Kong is the lead. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Ma Xun simply said: "Hong Kong is a small place, and historical films need to be grand and majestic.

There are very few directors in Hong Kong who have a big vision.

If the pattern is small, how can you produce a grand work? "

When these words were spoken, Sister Qing was stunned.

After a long time, he nodded.

"Ma Xun, I didn't expect you to be able to see so clearly."

Sister Hong's words were full of admiration.

In fact, anyone who understands Hong Kong movies also knows the history of mainland movies.

It is not difficult to draw a conclusion after a comparison.

Ma Xun is right!
It’s not that Hong Kong is without historical masterpieces; they have been filmed.

But many of these works are unsuccessful.

On the one hand, Hong Kong itself does not have the conditions to do so.

There is no real scene.

Historical dramas almost always have to be shot on location.

Show the magnificent changes in history.

There are no mountains or rivers, and no millions of people.

There is no way to even talk about that.

Hong Kong has neither mountains nor rivers, nor space to accommodate so many people.

There were also Hong Kong films that came to our mainland to shoot, but the costs suddenly increased and they ended up failing.

Sister Hong briefly recalled the drama "The Soong Dynasty".

Just as Ma Xun said.

Most of them were shot on the set of Beijing Film Studio.

It was a film set after all, but even so, the Hong Kong couple of directors and screenwriters were very satisfied.

If this is the case, wouldn’t it be in line with what Ma Xun said?

But, it's okay.

“Guess who I played in this play?”

"This... could it be the third sister?"

Ma Xun had actually guessed this a long time ago, but he had never said it before.

But when she said this, Sister Hong burst into laughter.

"I knew you wouldn't be able to guess it! I play the mother of these three."

what?
It’s this character?
Ma Xun also laughed, but although he didn’t guess correctly this time, there was a clever trick to it.

"It seems that Sister Hong also understands."

"Okay, I'll listen to you this time and keep a low profile."

In fact, this is what Ma Xun meant.

Ma Xun is not in a position to make a final conclusion on whether "The Soong Dynasty" can be successful.

But as it stands now, the possibility of success is really not high.

Well, if Sister Hong is being more high-profile because this movie is a huge investment.

If this movie fails in the future, Sister Hong will definitely be criticized.

Ma Xun just gave a reminder and he did his best.

And, of course, there is another purpose.

"Do you think that 'Nanhai Shisanlang' has more potential?"

This film was proposed by Ma Xun before.

As for the current two films, both are considered to be coordinated by Sister Qing.

Although, even if both movies lose money, it doesn’t matter.

As mentioned before, as long as the Beijing Film Studio receives investment, it will make a profit.

After the release of "The Soong Dynasty", no matter how much money the film loses, it has little to do with the Beijing Film Studio.

And Sister Hong... has a problem with 'vision'.

Look at you, what the hell are these two movies!
Why do you introduce everything?
Yes, if both films fail, then Sister Hong will probably have trouble running films in the future.

Ma Xun still has a way to deal with this "The Thirteenth Son of the South China Sea".

"Focus on the Guangdong and Guangxi markets, there will definitely be unexpected surprises!"

This method is really a cure for the disease.

In fact, "The Thirteenth Son of the South China Sea" was originally a drama.

The Drunken Swordsman has played the role of Shisanlang countless times.

His grasp of this role can be said to be perfection.

If Cheng Dieyi is not crazy, he will not be able to live.

Shisanlang would rather be crazy than compromise with the world.

However, this play has limitations.

It would be better to attack Guangdong and Guangxi first, and then wait for an opportunity to move north.

Ma Xun did this in the hope that Sister Qing could pass this operation.

Gain a reputation for having a discerning eye for films.
