Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 690 Can Sweetie Handle the Wanda System? Inception Makes an Oscar Bid!

The movie "The Warring States" is actually worth discussing more.

Ma Xun could clearly see that Tian Tian valued this movie very much.

So, after the two got to know each other better, the topic of the movie came up again.

"How do you know it's a bad movie if you haven't even seen it?"

"It's very simple, I heard it from someone else."

"Who?"

"Sun Honglei".

"Oh fine."

Sweetie was clearly still somewhat unwilling to give up, but once she heard the name, she was at a loss.

But in reality, Ma Xun was obviously just fooling her.

Of course, I've met Sun Honglei before, and the topic of "The Warring States" has naturally come up. After all, "Lurking" was a very successful project, and it was Jingwen's project, so Ma Xun would definitely give him face.

However, Sun Honglei certainly wouldn't dare say that "The Warring States" was a bad movie.

But even if Ma Xun's words reach Sun Honglei's ears verbatim, Ma Xun is absolutely confident that Sun Honglei will have to admit it.

Unless he's stupid.

Of course, Tian Tian wouldn't just say anything, and Sun Honglei will definitely have to make a statement after the movie is released.

Hmm, let me recall... In the original timeline, Sun Honglei's response to "The Warring States" truly demonstrated his top-notch emotional intelligence.

It seems that this is what Yan Wang said: My performance wasn't sincere enough.

Listen to this, learn from this... Knowing that the other party had powerful connections, he knew he couldn't afford to offend them, so he took the blame upon himself.

They received exorbitant salaries and then took the blame for everything. Which big shot wouldn't be happy?

Therefore, this thing's future development is indeed very promising.

Of course, judging from the decisiveness with which this guy treated Sister Ding back then, you can tell that he's definitely a ruthless person.

As the saying goes, a man with a heart of iron can achieve great things... Of course, Ma Xun absolutely believes that Yan Wang was a complete scoundrel when it came to Sister Ding.

Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore.

Ma Xun doesn't need to elaborate on how bad the film "The Warring States" is, and he can understand why Tian Tian cares so much about it now.

"This is my first time acting in such a big production, and I'm the female lead."

Yes, that's the reason.

Although Sweetie was also the female lead in "The Forbidden Kingdom," and that movie seemed to have a larger production scale.

But in reality, everyone knows that the reason for watching "The Forbidden Kingdom" is to see Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

Even if you, Miss Jing Tian, ​​have a powerful background, you're still just a supporting character at best.

Unfortunately, Ma Xun didn't have many solutions for this movie, and judging from Tian Tian's unpleasant expression, he still had the same opinion.

"I've said it before, if you get criticized, you have to be able to handle it."

Sweetie nodded. "How about you help me with my next film project?"

The implication behind those words... Ma Xun couldn't help but laugh, "How could I possibly be so nosy?"

But Tian Tian continued, "But you can even force a great director like Zhang Yimou to revise the script."

There's definitely something more to that.

Ma Xun pretended not to know and laughed, "That's different. He's just a director at most. Although he's a top director, he's still just a director in the end."

"But it's different for you. You have capital, while I'm already doing quite well to have cooperated with Mr. Lu to this extent."

Is this considered refusing to help someone in distress?
It shouldn't be considered that; at most, he's just heartless.

Fortunately, Tian Tian knew what kind of person Ma Xun was from the start, so she was spared from injury.

Moreover, our Jing Tian girl is quite clever; she actually wanted to say something else.

"What happens next?"

"after?"

"Exactly, could we film your movie?"

"You mean the film with light?"

"Of course."

Ma Xun actually understood Jing Tian's meaning a long time ago, but she still made her explain it very clearly.

This action... Jing Tian couldn't help but gently punch his chest with her little fist.

Ma Xun grabbed Jing Tian's little hand and then kissed it a few times.

"Oh, goodbye."

Her shy demeanor suggests she's been properly trained.

Ma Xun was not an impatient person. He simply said, "There will definitely be opportunities in the future. My cooperation with Wanda Group will definitely not be limited to cinemas. However, Mr. Lu will most likely still have some concerns."

"What could he possibly have to worry about? Doesn't he already trust you completely?"

"This person is very mysterious. He is definitely a very cautious guy. However, in the near future, after Wanda rapidly expands its cinema chain, it will be in a state of hunger."

"hunger?"

Jing Tian really couldn't understand.

Ma Xun laughed and said, "Wanda has so many plazas, and if each plaza has a cinema, let's not even talk about how much investment that would require. They need at least something tangible."

That's the movie!
In other words, regardless of whether a movie is good or bad, quantity is the most important thing. You should also understand that what cinemas need are new films.

Of course, ensuring quality is ideal, but achieving both quality and quantity is quite difficult.

These words really get to the heart of the matter.

Sweetie nodded repeatedly, agreeing that it was indeed true. Wanda Group's expansion speed was truly astonishing, and this was only the beginning.

"I heard it from Mr. Lu; it seems that we'll be getting a screen costing several thousand yuan next year."

Several thousand yuan... That's just for one cinema chain. You know, in some fairly large countries, that's more than just a year's worth of screens—it's practically the entire number of big screens in that country. But the key point is, did Tian Tian proactively tell Ma Xun about Wanda Group's news, or did she hear it from Mr. Lu?

So, this girl's heart must be with Ma Xun.

Hmm, it looks like it's completely my shape now.

Although Ma Xun is also as ruthless as Yan Wang, he is not as excessive as Yan Wang.

"Okay, if we can make something happen, then the chances of success will be much greater."

What does this mean?
Sweetie's answer was straightforward: "What can I do?"

Listen to this!

Ma Xun couldn't help but gently pat Jing Tian's smooth, white back and smiled, "Wanda Group needs films, and we at Enlight Media have many stars and many directors, which means we have the ability to produce movies."

If we can cooperate, that is, form a model where we produce and they sell, then that would be the best cooperation.

However, we are two separate sources of capital, and it is difficult for us to converge into one river.

Therefore, I need to maintain my independence, and Wanda certainly does the same. The good news is that I had already reached a certain cooperation agreement with Mr. Lu regarding cinemas, but we haven't reached an agreement on supply yet.

In other words, if we can reach a cooperation agreement on the supply and demand of films, and of course, they can also invest, then…

At this point, Tian Tian interrupted Ma Xun, saying, "If I have the chance, I will definitely make this happen."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xun immediately kissed Tian Tian's lips, and the two began to entwine again.

But Ma Xun was actually thinking about something.

Jing Tian dared to say that? The key point is, if she could make this happen, how could her influence be small? But what did she say before? Wasn't she just a fake background?
Could it be that she actually has a powerful background, and is using this mix of truth and falsehood to create a smokescreen?

Then wouldn't I, Ma Xun, be fooled...? Thinking of this, Ma Xun decided to stop thinking about it.

Because no matter what the truth is, Sweetie is now completely subservient to him.

Sometimes, this world needs a bit of recklessness.

Just do it!

……

"According to this newspaper, world-renowned director James Cameron visited Beijing...and met with local directors including Ning Hao..."

"Crazy No Man's Land continues to lead the pack, while Avatar sets new records!"

"Little Big Soldier" is full of sincerity, but its box office performance is disappointing.

"Breaking news: Ma Xun has led a team to the United States... The specific purpose is unknown..."

The Spring Festival holiday is coming to an end, but the events that happened during this year's Spring Festival film season have certainly been a great treat for moviegoers.

Our domestic film market is really impressive; even James Cameron came.

Of course, some people have also analyzed it.

James Cameron's trip to China not only allows him to appear very generous, but it is also highly beneficial to the film "Avatar".

After all, the film is still showing in theaters and its box office performance is truly astonishing.

I'm just killing time anyway, might as well treat it as a vacation, and I can even make some money, so why not come?

Those Americans don't celebrate Chinese New Year, right?

Of course, it is also very beneficial to the movie "Crazy No Man's Land".

To be fair, although this movie did plagiarize a Hollywood film, most moviegoers wouldn't be able to tell, and the film itself is actually quite well-made.

The use of camera angles, including many cinematic techniques and numerous outstanding scenes.

Let's not talk about Ya Ya's efforts; the lighter scene is now incredibly popular.

Of course, the most popular place was the gas station.

This gas station is really hilarious; the jokes just keep coming one after another.

So this is already of high quality, and now a super director has come to endorse it.

It instantly elevates the class!

Ning Hao was overjoyed, and his fans were also very happy.

The film "Crazy No Man's Land" is naturally cemented to the throne of this year's Spring Festival film season.

The outcome has been decided.

Let's compete for other movies then.

"Little Big Soldier" is a good movie; the plot is quite substantial.

Unfortunately, they encountered a formidable opponent, and Ma Xun was indeed adept at maneuvering.

In reality, the most crucial piece of news among these was Ma Xun's departure from Beijing.

He is the boss of Enlight Media, although Wang Changtian, Chen Hong, and others can handle the daily work of Enlight Media.

However, Ma Xun always had a very important reason for leaving.

Especially this trip to the United States.

Yes, you need to pay attention to this time!

What major events are going to happen in the United States next?
When Ma Xun landed in Los Angeles, many media people immediately came over.

These include both domestic and American companies.

After all, Ma Xun is now a well-known figure. Although he rarely appears in public, he is quite famous.

They already have two publicly listed companies in the United States.

So, this time he came to Los Angeles...

"Ladies and gentlemen, our Inception is going to be an Oscar contender!"

Ma Xun was very direct and made no attempt to hide anything.

It was absolutely stunning!
