Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 693 The Four Crazy Beauties, Two Golden Statues in Hand! Ma Xun Joins Hands with Wanda?
He... he actually...

No matter how lively the online world was in China, it had no effect on Zhang Ziyi, who was on the scene.

The international star was so shocked that he unconsciously opened his mouth wide.

Ma Xun actually won an Oscar!

Moreover, they went up to collect it twice.

Although the first one wasn't his alone, the second time the screenwriter... this, this...

Zhang Ziyi was not only shocked, but also felt a great deal of inner turmoil.

In fact, many people have overlooked another side of Ma Xun. Now almost everyone thinks he is a big boss in the entertainment industry, but in reality, this guy understands movies, no, he should be said to be a very outstanding film director and screenwriter.

Zhang Ziyi prefers to call Ma Xun a filmmaker!
At this moment, this filmmaker has won the Oscar, a dream come true for many filmmakers on this planet.

Zhang Ziyi felt both envious and a sense of honor at this scene... This sense of honor was probably because... this man had slept with me.

Cough cough, thinking of this, Zhang Ziyi couldn't help but cough twice.

"Oh dear, what's wrong with you, sister?"

"No, it's nothing."

"really?"

"really."

Bingbing didn't let Zhang Ziyi off the hook. Although Brother Ma made a big splash this time, how could she let Zhang Ziyi's reaction go unnoticed?

Sure enough, this slut was incredibly envious, hehe...

Bingbing was quite happy. Seeing Zhang Ziyi like this, she felt even more that Brother Ma's plan was brilliant.

But the crucial moment hasn't arrived yet. We'll see at this year's Tokyo International Film Festival, hehehe...

Bingbing even prepared a big dish for Zhang Ziyi, but unfortunately Zhang Ziyi is still unaware of it.

When Bingbing saw Scarlett and Yan Danchen again... Hmph! Two sluts!
Although he cursed inwardly, he also came up with an interesting plan.

"Sister, there's a cocktail party after the awards ceremony. You've attended those before, haven't you?"

"I did participate, but actually, it wasn't very interesting."

"How about this?"

"how?"

"After the cocktail party, I'm having a small get-together. Are you coming?"

"This……"

"Oh, come on, come on."

Honestly, Bingbing truly lives up to her reputation as a top-tier succubus; even when she's being coquettish with women, she's incredibly effective.

Zhang Ziyi couldn't refuse, so she could only smile and nod.

Of course, this was just the two of them interacting amidst applause.

Ma Xun returned to his seat after receiving the little golden statuette, and of course, he hugged and kissed everyone.

These are all considered formalities. Even if Scarlett wanted to be more affectionate, she couldn't go too far.

After all, the Oscars are broadcast globally.

So what's next?

"Hey~ Mr. Ma, congratulations, haha..."

Martin's tone was rather strange, but Ma Xun didn't say much; he already knew what was going on.

Scarlett and Yan Danchen exchanged a glance, and they basically understood.

If we're talking about people who were disappointed at this year's Oscars, then director Martin Scorsese is definitely one of them.

Because next up are several major prizes!

"Best Director at the 82nd Academy Awards..."

"The 82nd Academy Award for Best Picture..."

Both of these most prestigious awards were ultimately won by James Cameron's ex-wife, Bigelow.

In other words, The Hurt Locker was the biggest winner at tonight's Oscars.

First of all, it's important to understand that the winner of the Ballon d'Or is James Cameron.

Now it's his ex-wife, and of course, it's not because "The Hurt Locker" is any better.

It's obvious that this movie is more accurate.

The United States today needs a work that glorifies American soldiers in Iraq.

Especially from this angle, the bomb disposal unit—you practically don't need to ask who their opponents are, right?

But actually?
This film uses typical Hollywood techniques.

Back to the scene, this magnificent theater, a night of extravagance and debauchery.

The little golden statue shone brightly.

And just like that, the grand drama came to an end.

……

The Oscars reception is actually quite boring, and those who didn't win receive a bunch of small gifts, but in reality, this isn't even a joke in the US; it's more like bullying.

Many people simply don't want to accept these small gifts.

Fortunately, director Martin has a lot of experience with receiving small gifts, so he easily diffused the awkwardness.

That's right, the guy who suffered the most at this Oscars was actually Martin Scorsese.

He actually put in a lot of effort this time, and launched a considerable networking offensive.

Unfortunately, it still didn't work.

But considering that Avatar didn't win the most prestigious award, director Martin Scorsese felt much more at ease.

Well, from this perspective, the most embarrassed person is actually James Cameron.

This is being discussed on the global internet at least now.

The world's most successful commercial director lost to his ex-wife.

This has truly made this year's Oscars a hot topic.

Ma Xun, on the other hand, was quite detached from worldly affairs.

Anyway, the main point is to get this party over as quickly as possible so I can get back to my business.

Of course, his acting skills were also good, and he didn't give anyone any reason to criticize him.

As for serious business...

Go back to your mansion.

On the road, he saw a car, and the people inside caught his eye.

It was Zhang Ziyi.

what's the situation?
Ma Xun thought for a moment, then a helpless expression appeared on his face.

I think I guessed right, but should I ask...? That guy should tell me on his own initiative.

Sure enough, after Ma Xun drove his car into his mansion...

Then a woman came up to greet them.

"Brother Ma~"

"What, aren't you waiting for me inside?"

"What I meant to say was... that slut Zhang Ziyi doesn't give me any face."

"You shouldn't have brought her along."

"Huh? You don't mean..."

“I saw her when I arrived.”

"it's all my fault."

"do not have much left."

Ma Xun did not blame Bingbing; he knew what Bingbing was planning.

Ultimately, this woman was very impatient. She hoped to bring Zhang Ziyi along so she could expose all of Zhang Ziyi's pretense beforehand! (Physically speaking)
However, Ma Xun wasn't actually very interested.

It was as if, after he walked into the spacious living room, three more beauties were waiting for him. "Congratulations, Hollywood's best screenwriter."

That was said with a hint of sourness.

It was Anne Hathaway.

Clearly, even though she didn't attend the Oscars, she definitely watched the entire ceremony, and now she's so sour...

Ma Xun decisively grabbed Annie's chin and kissed her fiercely.

This scene made Bingbing unable to resist biting her lip lightly.

However, the other two beauties couldn't resist any longer.

"How could you do this?"

"That's right!"

Scarlett Johansson and Yan Danchen immediately joined in the competition for his attention.

Hahaha... Ma Xun's hearty laughter echoed in the spacious living room.

Of course, although it's spacious, it's still not comfortable enough.

The bed in this house costs over a million.

Ma Xun simply used the Great Roc Spreads Its Wings move, two on each side.

That's right, this is his real awards ceremony.

Brother Yao, please help me!

This night was destined to be crazy.

……

"No wonder the films and TV series produced by Enlight Media have always received good reviews."

"Yes, Ma Xun is not only a boss, but he's also a real expert!"

"An Oscar-winning screenwriter, Zhang Yimou should have listened to Ma Xun's advice!"

"It seems they even pressured Feng Xiaogang to change things before, is that true?"

"Wow, I thought Ma Xun was just causing trouble before, but now I realize he's a real master!"

The day after the Oscars, news of Ma Xun's win spread across the Chinese internet.

Not many people watched the Oscars live before, but now almost everyone who is well-informed knows about it.

Ma Xun winning the award is such a newsworthy event.

I won't go into the details of the theory about biting and repairing hooks, but the key is that it's novel enough to satisfy many people's curiosity.

It's astonishing that an entertainment industry boss could win an Oscar for Best Screenplay. In many people's minds, this screenwriter is a bespectacled, refined intellectual.

The boss's imagination is still that of bosses in the entertainment industry, who are basically fat and lecherous, the kind who want to do whatever they want to a beautiful woman.

Right.

But now, it has completely broken the conventional concept!
Ma Xun is a different kind of boss!

Then I looked at the history... how interesting!

Forcing Zhang Yimou to revise the script? That's to be expected!

They even forced Feng Xiaogang to revise the script? Absolutely right!

Previously, people might have questioned Ma Xun's motives, but now hardly anyone does.

The direction of public opinion is quite interesting.

But is it really as simple as just turning Zhang Yimou into a clown?

Of course not, there is actually an even more important mission behind this award.

"Uncle Lu, I told you, Ma Xun is quite capable."

Jing Tian began to keep his promise.

She really took Ma Xun's matter seriously.

Mr. Lu nodded in agreement. “Indeed, Ma Xun is quite extraordinary. Moreover, he even won that photography award. He is truly multi-talented.”

Miss Sweetie was very happy to hear this. "I shouldn't say too much, but if we're looking for a further partner, Ma Xun is obviously a very good choice."

Here it comes!

She had previously stated that she would focus her efforts on this aspect.

But, will Mr. Lu listen?

"You make a good point, but we still need to think about it carefully."

There was no clear answer, but Miss Sweetie didn't press the issue.

Just laugh it off.

A smile appeared on Mr. Lu's face.

In fact, given that Ma Xun has won two Oscars and that Enlight Media and other companies are already very strong, Wanda should really choose to cooperate with Ma Xun and Enlight Media for its rapid expansion.

This definitely needs to be taken seriously!

……

California.

"Brother Ma, those two little golden statues must have cost a lot of money, right?"

After a night of madness, Bingbing still managed to stay alert and care about her brother Ma.

Bingbing is now single-mindedly focused on her brother Ma. She can disregard everything else, but she absolutely must care about him.

Bingbing's statement was actually based on her seeing the Inception advertisements that Ma Xun had created.

Ma Xun was indeed a bit tired, but looking at the beauties around him, hehe...

"It's alright, that's all small change. The key is that I had another purpose in making a big splash this time."

"Another purpose?" Bingbing was very curious, but she also knew that there were some things she shouldn't ask too much about. "Um... can you tell me?"

Looking at Bingbing's little face, I couldn't help but think of how diligently she had released herself before.

"No problem at all."

"Ah, that's great!" Bingbing was overjoyed because she knew that this meant Brother Ma had further accepted her.

Ma Xun then said, "I plan to cooperate with Wanda Group, but as you know, Wanda Group has a lot of money and a strong momentum. They don't look up to ordinary partners. This time, I've shown them my strength. Based on this, we'll definitely have a very pleasant cooperation in the future."

So that’s it!
Bingbing finally understood, and she was also aware that the Wanda Group was very strong now.

Brother Ma is truly amazing!

But in reality, Bingbing still didn't know just how amazing Ma Xun was.

For a considerable period of time to come, Wanda Group will remain the strongest cinema chain in China, and cinema chains wield considerable power.

Putting aside other things, take Huayi Brothers as an example, right?

In the original timeline, the Wang brothers were also bullied by Wanda Cinemas quite a bit. They even went so far as to post on the internet, hoping that the internet could act as a legal forum to help them.

Unfortunately, it was still of little use.

Moreover, Ma Xun already knew about this situation beforehand. With powerful capital like Wanda Group entering the entertainment industry, Ma Xun's status as a top figure would be affected.

That's right!

Ma Xun's recent series of actions are actually part of a strategic plan.

There's a rather cowardly saying in economics: If you can't beat your opponent, join them.

Ma Xun isn't fighting with Wanda Group right now, and there's no need for them to fight at all, so they might as well cooperate.

It's a win-win situation. Besides, I now have two Oscars in hand. Which boss in the entire entertainment industry dares to say that I, Ma Xun, don't understand acting?!
And next...

"Oh dear, how come you woke up so quickly?"

"That's it."

"I want to have breakfast..."

"You're going too far by eating like that!"

It seems this madness is going to continue...
