Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 682 Nini is willing to be used! Sometimes you have to resort to underhanded tactics!
"bring it on."

"What's coming?"

"You know."

"I understand, but why?"

"Am I not pretty enough? Or is my figure not good enough?"

"No, you are beautiful enough, you have a great figure, and you are in the prime of your life."

"Then why didn't you come..."

Why do I have to sleep with you?

"you……"

"Okay, I'll be blunt. You're not one of my people yet, and besides, you're probably here on a mission, right?"

Ma Xun's calmness caused Nini to fall silent once again.

The man in front of her was definitely not as lecherous as the rumors suggested. At least, he couldn't seduce a beautiful woman like her, who was 1.7 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure and all the right curves.

Nini's face showed complete incomprehension.

Seeing this, Ma Xun laughed, "I've said it before, I'm not a guy who lacks women. Besides, this is a critical period for me to play the game with New Picture. As the saying goes, if you eat someone else's food, you're obligated to do so. If I were to eat you now, I would be in a passive position."

It turns out that this man was primarily concerned with his own interests.

This made Nini even more devastated. Her beautiful face, her excellent figure, and even her many talents seemed to be worthless in front of Ma Xun.

No, actually, it wasn't just in front of Ma Xun, but in front of these big bosses, that Nini was utterly insignificant.

Seeing the change in her face, Ma Xun could basically guess what the girl was thinking.

"Are you devastated?"

"Yes." Nini admitted it directly, and she even wanted to say more, "You guessed right, Boss Zhang really does want me to use my..."

"There's no need to say all this. Anyway, you've already said it, and I already guessed right."

"But couldn't you let me finish speaking?"

At this moment, Nini even used a pleading tone.

But Ma Xun's response was nothing short of cold-blooded.

"From a normal person's point of view, I should indeed let you speak, but a beautiful woman in front of me is clearly about to complain. You should know that when you complain, all that comes out is bitterness. I am, after all, a man."

Who knows, after I hear that, I might not be able to resist and end up sleeping with you.

That was really something... Nini couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ma Xun certainly meant to make her laugh, but what he said was indeed true.

Nini is just over twenty years old now, which is the best time of a woman's life.

Moreover, there's another special point... those who frequently travel through time should remember that the later Nini is really not fierce at all.

But she's completely different from the ordinary Nini she was back then; she's very sexy now.

It's true, Ma Xun wasn't lying.

Those who enjoy gossip probably already know that this girl was originally very talented.

Actually, this is easy to understand; it's the almost obsessive dietary control in our entertainment industry.

As someone once said, celebrities do make money, but they also often struggle to make ends meet.

It's not a joke that they're not getting enough to eat; they really have to starve themselves to lose weight, otherwise they'll look terrible on camera.

"Not being able to keep warm" means that no matter how cold the weather is, you have to maintain your "style" for any event. Female celebrities wear skirts, but male celebrities absolutely cannot wear thermal underwear.

Saying it's not cold is nonsense; my assistant was carrying down jackets for me.

When it came to Nini, it meant... she eventually starved her grandmother to death.

This is no joke. Just like Xiao Mi, who later grew into a big star, she also found it difficult to regain her peak condition.

Eating too little can affect hormone levels, especially if you eat too little for many years.

That said, Nini is now an absolute sex symbol.

Ma Xun told her not to complain, lest he feel sorry for her, and then comforted the girl.

It has to be said, this guy is indeed quite cautious.

Such caution amused Nini, and the girl in her early twenties felt much better, but the gloom still lingered.

"Am I destined to be nothing more than a tool for the rest of my life?"

This question caused the atmosphere between the two to return to its previous state.

Ma Xun, however, gave a very cold answer.

"You don't have to enter the entertainment industry."

This answer truly addresses both the symptoms and the root cause.

Let's get to the root of the problem.

Nini almost rolled her eyes, but in front of her was Ma Xun after all. This girl in her early twenties had already made up her mind about one thing: Ma Xun could help her!

"What if I insist on barging in?"

Now it was Ma Xunxiao's turn to laugh. "Didn't you realize that most of those entering the entertainment industry now are second-generation rich kids?"

“…” Nini was stunned.

She was still too young. If Ma Xun hadn't pointed it out so directly, even if she knew that the actors in the crew around her didn't come from ordinary families, she still wouldn't have thought too much about it.

Ma Xun's words now seemed to awaken her from a dream.

Although Nini's family isn't poor, it can't compare to Ma Xun's.

Another possibility is that...

"I know you're not from an ordinary family, but think about it again. If you really came from such an ordinary family, would you have been able to get this leading role at all, and would you have had no chance to have any contact with me?"

In other words, your family background is nothing more than a tool that gives you the opportunity to come before me and beg me to have sex with you.

What the hell!

That's an absolutely merciless attack!

When Ma Xun spoke, he was very calm, without even much inflection.

But these calm words contain the truth of reality.

Nini was definitely devastated. Will this girl break down?

Perhaps she was devastated, or perhaps she wasn't; in any case, after a moment of stunned silence, a smile returned to Nini's face.

Have you recovered?

"Mr. Ma," the form of address became more formal, "Could you please use me?"

This statement is also quite interesting.

Ma Xun smiled too; he knew this girl wouldn't be so easily defeated.

"You should know that the point of conflict between me and Zhang Yimou was that scene."

Nini nodded. She had overheard it before, so of course she knew which scene it was.

This scene certainly put a lot of pressure on her. Of course, director Zhang Yimou also emphasized that it wouldn't really be like that... We all know that in the movie "Lust, Caution" it was... I won't go into details.

Ma Xun suggested cutting this scene immediately after reading the script. In other words, the biggest point of conflict between Ma Xun and Zhang Yimou was this scene.

After deleting it, Ma Xun agreed to cooperate.

If you don't delete it, then let's all keep to ourselves.

Zhang Weiping really hoped Ma Xun could help him, because this old Zhang knew very well that Zhang Yimou really wanted a Golden Globe or an Oscar.

Ma Xun already has a listed company in the United States, and he is resourceful and intelligent, so it is clear that Ma Xun can help.

So, how do we resolve this contradiction?

Zhang Weiping's solution was to use a honey trap, having Nini seduce Ma Xun.

But now, what about Ma Xun's method?

But Ma Xun calmly said, "At present, it is difficult for us to make progress in normal negotiations, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten into my car again."

To delete a scene, the method...

Director Zhang Yimou is not very open to the media. As we all know, he is very secretive about his films. Even the trailers that were later edited rarely touched on key plot points.

So, if a scene from his script were to be leaked... well, actually, according to industry practice, that leaked scene would have to be cut.

Wonderful!

Nini understood instantly.

"Mr. Ma, I never expected you to use every trick in the book!"

This statement was clearly meant to be sarcastic.

Ma Xun didn't care at all. "You met me too late. I had many more tricks up my sleeve."

That's quite frank!

And this composure... touched Nini.

She launched a surprise attack and kissed Ma Xun.

They were in the car, but that didn't necessarily mean they were safe. Their previous meal together had already been widely reported.

Moreover, it's quite obvious that there are behind-the-scenes manipulators at work.

In other words, Nini has now become a celebrity.

She is already confirmed as a "Zhang Yimou Girl".

Her identity was revealed a little earlier than expected, but for her, it was a good thing.

So, there might be paparazzi outside Ma Xun's car.

Or perhaps, it will be a special kind of paparazzi.

For example, would Zhang Weiping arrange for someone to follow him?
Although Ma Xun wouldn't care what photos were taken, what if it was in exchange for not deleting the scenes?
That's right, Zhang Weiping is very likely to do it this way.

Therefore, Nini's kiss was a pledge of loyalty to Ma Xun, and perhaps also proof of the mission's completion for Zhang Weiping.

But it's probably more of a pledge of allegiance.

"I understand. I'm not yours now, but I will be sooner or later."

This sounds like a tongue twister, but Ma Xun remained outwardly calm.

Drive this wild beauty back home.

But in reality, Ma Xun was certain that he was genuinely tempted.

After all, the girl's grandmother is still alive.

……

"Hey, Brother Ma, can't you give way a little?"

"This is a matter of principle, and I have made it very clear."

"This...shall we talk again?"

“Brother Zhang, let’s stop here. Director Zhang Yimou has his own principles, and so do I.”

As expected, Ma Xun and Zhang Yimou's talks broke down again.

This was naturally within Ma Xun's expectations, and Zhang Yimou's performance was also very clear.

He's now the Grand Preceptor, not the easy guy he used to be.

Zhang Weiping was trying his best to act as a peacemaker and smooth things over.

Unfortunately, none of this worked.

Ma Xun didn't give them any face. Yes, he just wouldn't give them any face.

Zhang Weiping, getting angry won't help.

If Zhang Yimou is angry, then so be it.

In short, Ma Xun did not budge.

As for the rest... Zhang Weiping didn't produce anything that could blackmail Ma Xun.

Clearly, that kiss had absolutely no effect on Ma Xun, a guy whose scandals were always flying around.

Now that this kind of gossip has come out, most netizens are quite envious of Ma Xun.

Some people say: This guy is getting younger and younger.

It also has a double meaning.

But they stopped talking about these things.

After the talks broke down, Ma Xun left New Picture.

And then... his phone rang.

"I've got it. I've sent it to your email."

The rest is self-explanatory; that's what he and Nini agreed upon.

well.

Ma Xun didn't look at it on the way; he only turned on his computer after returning to his office.

Upon closer inspection...

The script for "The Flowers of War," along with the storyboard and many other pieces of evidence related to that scene, are all there.

Great, but what happens next... oh my god!
There are several pictures, and they are all erotic.

The main character in it is Nini!

This girl is really going all out; this could be considered another kind of pledge of allegiance.

Without giving it much thought, Ma Xun had to get down to business.

……

Suddenly, a plot analysis appeared online.

So that's what "The Flowers of War" is all about?

"Holy crap? You're going to do *that* with a foreigner?"

"Zhang Yimou, that old scoundrel! He's fucking disgusting!"

It's here! The effect Ma Xun wanted is here!
