Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 630 The Spring Festival box office battle ended as soon as it began?
"It seems like when we met before, you were still test takers."

Ma Xun's words directly pointed out the age difference between them.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with saying that; it's the truth, after all.

However, if you're trying to pick up girls, you generally wouldn't say that.

So his words made Xiao Shuang a little embarrassed, but Jing Tian's expression was more than just embarrassed; her face showed displeasure.

Although it was only a fleeting moment, Ma Xun naturally captured it precisely.

He knew exactly what was going on.

Because Ma Xun simply didn't want to pick up girls, and he hadn't forgotten what Jing Tian had said earlier.

Xiao Shuang clearly didn't notice the change in her classmate's expression; she simply continued the conversation earnestly.

"Mr. Ma, I was ignorant back then, please forgive me."

She's become well-behaved.

That's right. Back then, she seemed fearless, but now, although she hasn't graduated yet, she's probably already acting, which means she's been toughened up by society.

They must have heard many of Ma Xun's legends.

Ma Xun simply smiled at her change of heart. "It's not that serious. Our circle is huge. Even I can't control everything. Besides, you didn't really offend me back then. I'm not that petty."

His magnanimity only made Xiao Shuang more embarrassed, and she didn't know how to continue the conversation.

But at this moment, Jing Tian spoke up.

"Mr. Ma, actually, Xiao Shuang recently filmed a movie, but as you know, we are still newcomers in the entertainment industry, and we don't know when the movie will be released. I wonder if you could help us out."

help?

Ma Xun is quite something, he shook his head directly, "There are too many things going on in the industry, too many dramas. We at Enlight Media are barely able to take care of ourselves, let alone others."

They're completely disregarding my feelings!

That said, given Ma Xun's status, it's understandable that he wouldn't be given face. The fact that he was able to come here was largely due to Jing Tian's 'little trick'.

Anyway, there's absolutely nothing wrong with what Ma Xun said.

This made Xiao Shuang even more embarrassed.

Jing Tian was even more angry, but seeing that Ma Xun wasn't responding, she had no choice but to keep pushing.

"Mr. Ma can still be of help with this project. It's a remake of 'Meteor Garden,' and it's on Hunan TV. With Mr. Ma's connections..."

Before Jing Tian could finish speaking, Ma Xun interrupted her.

"Well, I must admit that this show is indeed related to me, but Hunan TV has its own arrangements, and it's not convenient for me to interfere too much."

Okay, that's all for now. The coffee was good today, so I'll pay the bill.

Huh? That's it?
After saying that, Ma Xunzhen paid the bill and left, leaving the two girls stranded there.

This made things even more awkward.

Xiao Shuang understood perfectly well that Ma Xun was implying that she wouldn't help.

That's practically saying it outright.

He has a connection to the remake of "Meteor Garden," but he just doesn't plan to get involved.

So, the girl couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that he was making a scene back then?
But judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem that stingy.

Are there any other problems?
Jing Tian hadn't expected Ma Xun to be so decisive. In fact, in Jing Tian's own opinion, wasn't she just creating an opportunity for Ma Xun?

According to Jing Tian, ​​Xiao Shuang is also a beauty, so don't you want to have some fun with her?

Unexpectedly, this man was truly as hard-hearted as stone.

So what about the two of them now...?

"Thank you anyway."

"This……"

Huh? Their relationship has actually shown signs of improvement?
This development has exceeded Jing Tian's expectations.

……

They failed to achieve their goal and didn't figure out what Ma Xun was thinking.

It also strengthened her friendship with Xiao Shuang.

Jing Tian really didn't expect these things to happen.

However, after breaking up with Xiao Shuang, she walked alone on the streets of Beijing and vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Fortunately, she soon understood the reason for this strange situation.

It turned out that a car had followed us, and it was obvious who was in that car.

Soon, the car stopped near her.

Jing Tian got into the car without thinking, and the car drove away quickly.

Keep driving, and the car's speed is getting faster and faster.

Jing Tian felt a pounding heartbeat in her chest, and she grew increasingly uneasy.

Because Ma Xun, who was driving, didn't say a word.

This atmosphere is truly rare in their somewhat fragile relationship.

To be frank, Jing Tian is a little scared.

Fortunately, the car drove into a villa.

Jing Tian knew what was coming next... Ah!

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them entered the room, Ma Xun pinned Jing Tian against the wall from behind.

"You little girl, you're really brave!"

"I, I just..."

"Who I play with, how I play with them, when I play with them... I decide for myself. I don't need you to arrange it, understand?"

"I understand, I understand."

Jing Tian's heart pounded wildly; he had never felt such intense pressure before.

Then, Ma Xun grabbed her lips and the two kissed.

This kiss was very strange; it was so domineering and forceful that it defied description, but Jing Tian didn't find it... unpleasant.

It even has a unique kind of stimulation.

It must be said that Ma Xun was indeed very angry.

He thought the girl was just talking, but to his surprise, she actually took action.

Even if Ma Xun wanted to play with Xiao Shuang, it couldn't be under Jing Tian's control.

impossible!

You're still a very naive girl!

In fact, Ma Xun's reaction was quite normal; he needed to firmly grasp all control.

At least with Jing Tian, ​​this is the only way.

Therefore, we must teach this girl a lesson.

……

January 22nd. On this day, two films premiered in Beijing.

In terms of scale, "All's Well, Ends Well 2009" was a very grand affair.

After all, this is a movie produced by a Hong Kong tycoon, and it's based on a classic IP. More importantly, it boasts an all-star cast.

As for "All's Well, Ends Well," this IP has always followed this model of a star-studded extravaganza.

The key point is that Huang Baiming also put on an air of making a big fuss about it.

This led to the most important people in the film—Louis Koo, Sandra Ng, and Sandra Ng's husband—not promoting the film in Hong Kong, but instead coming directly to Beijing.

This move directly tells movie fans that we attach great importance to the mainland market.

It should be said that such a statement at this time is a good thing.

Louis Koo, Sandra Ng, and others are actually quite popular in mainland China, and Jia Yueting and others also contributed their efforts.

So the premiere was a huge success.

Many media reporters came.

Yes, but today's comparison is different.

"Mr. Jia, we still need to go to 'Crazy Racer' next."

"Oh, aren't you staying for the cocktail party later?"

"No, thank you. The premiere of 'Crazy Racer' is two hours later than yours. If we go this way, we'll still make it in time."

Two hours late?

Compared to these reporters' attempt to profit from both sides, the fact that the other party was two hours late is clearly more important.

The previous "Red Cliff" was a bit too long, 150 minutes, which is more than two hours.

Our commercial films are generally best kept to an hour and a half, or 90 minutes, as this makes it much easier for theaters to schedule them.

Of course, "All's Well, Ends Well 2009" wouldn't make such a stupid mistake; it definitely needs to cooperate with the theaters, right?

So, the fact that "Crazy Racer" premiered two hours late is definitely a statement of attitude.

At least they didn't make things difficult for these journalists.

As for whether this counts as any kind of 'courtesy' towards Jia Yueting and Huang Baiming.

It depends on what Jia Yueting and Huang Baiming think.

in this way……

"It seems that Ma Xun is indeed a remarkable person."

Huang Baiming's evaluation is already quite good.

After all, they are now rivals.

Jia Yueting felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't say anything harsh, since the other party had been 'polite' in giving way.

"He is indeed a good person."

Let's just say something like this, neither too much nor too little.

Let's forget about our rivals and watch our show, "All's Well, Ends Well."

However, Jia Yueting wouldn't watch a movie; he wouldn't waste those 90 minutes—he had too many things to do.

Therefore, Jia Yueting turned her attention to Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao indicated that he understood, and that he had also made arrangements.

……

Time flies, and it's already late at night on the 22nd.

After finishing his day's work, Jia Yueting's phone suddenly rang.

"how's it going?"

Zhang Zhao called and said that everyone didn't need to be so polite, and besides, this was arranged beforehand.

"Boss, that 'Crazy Racer'..."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhao stopped there and didn't continue.

Why is that?
Jia Yueting realized something, but he still refused to believe it.

"Just tell me."

Zhang Zhao could only say, "Based on the feedback from the people we sent out... the movie 'Crazy Racer' seems to be quite excellent."

what? !

Jia Yueting was even more skeptical. "Extremely excellent? Is it even better than 'All's Well, Ends Well 2009'?"

Zhang Zhao on the other end of the phone was clearly not very comfortable, but that was all he could do.

"What they're saying ahead is... constant laughter."

This……

Jia Yueting's heart skipped a beat; he couldn't believe that the movie was so good.

Just then, Gan Wei's voice came through.

"Honey, are you still busy with work?"

Jia Yueting could only say a few words to Zhang Zhao before hanging up the phone.

"No, all the work is finished."

His wife is still the most important person, after all, she is crucial to his future.

That Brother Wang said that no matter what, Gan Wei must feel happy, even perfect.

Jia Yueting chose to temporarily ignore his opponent's situation, but this opponent was about to give him a hard time!
The 23rd is a Friday, so from that day onwards it is the weekend.

Next, on the 25th, it's Lunar New Year's Eve, and on the 26th, it's

It can be said that this series of holidays are all connected.

So, this is the first year that the Lunar New Year film season has turned into a Spring Festival film season, which is a very good timing arrangement.

This also means that the pace is very fast!
That's right, this "fast" refers to the box office war!

"All's Well, Ends Well 2009" premiered on the same day as "Crazy Racer," so of course they were also released on a large scale on the same day.

In terms of screenings, "All's Well, Ends Well" definitely occupies a large share.

However, this "major part" mainly refers to the Lingnan region.

In other major cities, the two films were considered equally popular.

As for the newly established Wanda Cinema chain, it has made it clear to the outside world that it must remain neutral.

But under these circumstances, the date arrived at the 25th.

Suddenly, a poster appeared out of nowhere!
Crazy Racer surpasses 100 million at the box office!
This...so fast?

What about "All's Well, Ends Well 2009"?

no response!

There was absolutely no response!

Has the outcome of this Spring Festival film season already been decided so early in the season?!
