Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 660, "The Sound of the Wind," is destined to become a classic! The mistress transforms into a master detective!
"What are you looking at?"

"Oh, nothing."

"Hehe...you, are you thinking about men?"

"I didn't!"

Li Xue did appear somewhat flustered by the questions, and the person asking these questions was Zhou Xun.

It should be said that Li Bingbing's collaboration with Zhou Xun this time was quite pleasant.

There was absolutely no drama between them; in fact, whether in public or in private, the two of them acted like sisters.

Li Xue naturally joined in as well; they all had a really good relationship.

The reason for their close relationship is probably quite simple.

With Huayi Brothers gone, it's practically defunct. So what's the point of Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing competing for the title of "Number One Actress"?

Now that there's no longer a competition for the top spot, their relationship is self-evident.

Moreover, there are several quite touching scenes in this movie.

If you get too immersed in a role, it's inevitable that some emotions will develop.

Zhou Xun felt like she wanted to be Li Bingbing's younger sister.

Therefore, she got along quite well with Li Xue.

That was just a joke, but of course, it wasn't entirely unfounded. Zhou Xun could tell that Li Xue and Ma Xun probably had something special about them...

"Sis, let's stop talking about it, the event over there is about to officially start."

Li Xue's words made sense, so Zhou Xun stopped thinking about it and went to participate in the interview.

We should definitely hold an event for the premiere of "The Message".

However, there is a general consensus within the industry that premieres are acceptable, but they shouldn't be too big.

There's no way around it; there have been too many examples and too many people setting a precedent for us.

The bigger the premiere, the worse the subsequent films are likely to be.

The representative work here is "House of Flying Daggers".

Actually, this movie does have some merit. For example, Zhang Ziyi's flying sleeves and drumming scene is definitely a cinematic classic. Of course, it was Xiao Meng who performed the dance.

So, while the film isn't exactly terrible, it just doesn't quite live up to the hype surrounding its premiere.

The premiere was so grand that it became a black mark on the film.

Therefore, in the present situation, Ma Xun would naturally not make such a mistake.

A medium-sized premiere would suffice, allowing us to meet with the media, invite some film critics from our online community, release tickets (which fans will surely snap up), and offer opportunities to meet and interact with celebrities.

That's good.

Ma Xun is naturally very confident about this film.

However, a small bug has appeared.

"Uncle~"

"I know exactly what you're thinking, girl."

"Really?"

"Hehe... You're not actually concerned about that supporting character; it's actually about your junior, right?"

A junior? Who is that?
As soon as Ma Xun said that, Yang Mi's face immediately turned red.

"No, no! I don't!"

She didn't even say who it was, and she just did this, and now she says there's no one?

Ma Xun smiled and shook his head. He looked around and thankfully, the movie had already started, so they could just chat outside the screening room.

"Even if you find out, it's no big deal. Do you think you, a little girl, can control me?"

Ma Xun's words could no longer be described as a provocation; rather, they made Yang Mi understand her position.

Xiao Mi felt a little upset, but Ma Xun had indeed hit the nail on the head.

Yes, she thought the movie "Bad Genius" was also good.

Although she didn't get the lead role, how could she dare to disobey Ma Xun under such an arrangement?
In fact, the gossip news that day shocked her.

Xiao Shuang?

Goodness, this little slut is really bold!
After all, it takes immense courage for a newly famous newcomer in the entertainment industry to dare to say that they are dating a big shot in the industry.

However, Xiao Shuang's actions did indeed spark huge controversy, which in turn generated a massive amount of traffic.

Chu Yuxun was already popular, and although this drama was criticized in various ways, it still became popular.

Now, instead of being criticized, it has become even more popular!

And then, after Xiao Mi did some research... hey, Xiao Shuang is about the same age as her!
Well, he is a few years older, but in the entertainment industry, especially considering that he successfully debuted this year.

They're pretty much the same.

How can a mistress not be under pressure?
So she wanted to find an opportunity to talk to the older man about it. Also... hehe, just now on the red carpet, didn't she also replicate Xiao Shuang's actions?

That's why I say Xiao Mi is quite clever.

But what was Ma Xun thinking?
"You are you, she is she. You know in your heart how you should be my woman."

These words were indeed quite heartless, but Xiao Mi could only accept them with a little resentment.

"Okay, I get it now."

Ma Xun couldn't help but laugh when he saw the girl's appearance.

"Okay, is there anything else you want to say? Once you're done, let's go back and watch a movie."

Xiao Mi laughed again after hearing this. In fact, she understood what the uncle meant, and the "what do you want to say" was also giving her an opportunity.

"Um, I recently came across a project."

What project is it?

"Exactly, it's a Qing Dynasty drama, but it also has a time-travel element. Time travel, you know, uncle?"

The girl's appearance made Ma Xun unable to resist pinching her cheek.

"I'm not that old, I understand everything you're saying." Yes, I'm a time traveler!

But this couldn't be said aloud, and once Xiao Mi explained the gist of it, Ma Xun understood completely.

Then, the mistress gave a brief explanation: "The person who handed over the script was a young screenwriter who had written some plays before..."

Xiao Mi was rambling on and on, but Ma Xun didn't need to listen at all.

It's that drama called "Palace," also known as "Palace Lock Heart Jade."

And that screenwriter goes without saying; he later became the well-known Yu Dayatou in the industry.

Ma Xun knew a bit about Yu Zheng, but the more he learned, the more he realized that this guy couldn't be explained in just a few words.

Yu Zheng is capable. Although he did plagiarize many of the scripts, he was able to come up with some new things after copying them.

On the other hand, in the fight against South Korea, this guy was one of the vanguard figures, and he was also very clear-headed.

Later, those guys from South Korea appropriated Chinese culture in all sorts of ways. It was incredibly shameless and despicable; the things they did were utterly disgusting.

Yu Zheng did something very meaningful: when he became successful, he made sure that the makeup, costumes, and props for each of his productions were as historically accurate as possible. Moreover, after filming, he tried to preserve the historical artifacts as much as possible, turning them into a museum.

The biggest significance of this is... to criticize those Korean bastards!

So we can see that, yes, the shameless South Koreans are copying us and appropriating our culture, especially clothing and other things. Yu Zheng will criticize us whenever he can, and he always manages to produce a lot of pictures and information.

Putting everything else aside, at least this was done beautifully.

Koreans are absolutely disgusting; they're the kind of people you rarely see on this planet.

However, the nickname "Big Girl" Yu Zheng wasn't entirely wrong.

This guy has done a lot of lousy things too.

The plagiarism has already been ruled out by the court. As for the so-called "insincerity" and "feuds," etc.

And then there's... that Fourth Prince from the drama "Palace," right?

The two truly went through thick and thin together, struggling in a rented room back then, and later...

There's no need to go into the details about Yu Dayatou's situation; anyone who follows the film and television industry, let alone those in the industry, basically knows what's going on.

He's the "white moonlight" (ideal love), and just thinking about him makes him cry.

This person is quite complicated, but given the current situation... Ma Xun is very clear that this drama has a significant impact on Xiao Mi.

Without this show, Xiao Mi would be at best a second-tier actress.

So Ma Xun said, "Of course I support you. If you want to do something, then I can help you."

What does "点儿什么" mean?
Xiao Mi felt really good after hearing that. "Uncle, you're so good to me!"

I want to kiss him as soon as I say it.

Ma Xun immediately stopped him, saying, "You're being too kind. What if someone sees us in this situation?"

"I don't care!" Little Honey was just looking for some gossip.

Ma Xun simply said, "Listen to me, go to the usual place and wait for me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mi chuckled and left.

She knew the usual place, of course.

The mistress is finally gone, and Ma Xun can finally watch a movie.

He has always thought that "The Message" was very well made.

Later, many so-called film and television bloggers talked about this film, but in reality, many people couldn't explain it clearly at all. In order to attract attention, many people kept saying that Lao Gui was Li Ningyu according to their so-called understanding.

In fact, the original novel explains it very clearly.

Although the book concludes that the old ghost was Li Ningyu, she used three methods to pass on intelligence even after her own sacrifice.

However, this 'conclusion' is for the Japanese, you get it?

Therefore, the real "old ghost" has always been Gu Xiaomeng.

Otherwise, the novel wouldn't have had a supplementary document written later on.

However, in the film, due to the pacing of the narrative, it was changed to Gu Xiaomeng's sacrifice.

This isn't a big problem.

Simply put, movies must make changes to the original work, but these changes do not destroy the core of the original work.

Moreover, regarding the ending of this movie...

I am not afraid of death, what I fear is that my loved ones will not know why I died. I am leaving this record in purgatory, hoping for my family and Sister Yu...

This monologue is truly deeply moving.

As Ma Xun listened, tears silently streamed down his face without him even realizing it.

Many people at the premiere were also quietly wiping away tears.

"The Message" will surely become a classic!

……

The mistress arrived at the usual spot.

That was, of course, Ma Xun's old house. But after arriving there, she began to make preparations.

Make yourself smell nice, and then there are stockings, and...

Ok?
I'll be prepared; I'll have to use the bathroom mirror eventually.

The mistress has a good eye; she noticed fingerprints on the bathroom mirror!
No, it's not just fingerprints; it's clearly someone pressing their palm against this mirror.

And this palm... she compared it to her own.

I'm sure, it's definitely a woman!

Don't you understand? That hand is pressing against the mirror, that posture...

Who?
Which slut is it now?!
snort!
It goes without saying that Xiao Mi felt a little jealous, but she was also smart enough to simply record the fingerprints on the glass.

It's actually quite simple: just put some powder on it and take a picture.

In that instant, the famous detective Yang Mi came online...
