Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 698 Helping Reba Nazar scold Lu Chuan? Ma Xun delivers a top-notch sarcastic remark!

I was in a bad mood before, but what were they doing?
Is he doing...?

Oh dear! What am I thinking!

The phone call had been disconnected for a long time, but Naza still hadn't recovered.

She was just too shocked; she never expected that Ma Xun, a legendary figure in the entertainment industry, would actually speak to her.

Well, well... although it was true that she found out that Reba and Ma Xun were together, this really upset Nazha, so calling them was a bit reckless.

No matter how reckless she was, this was... this was... Naza really couldn't recover. She probably guessed what was going on on the other end of the phone.

For some reason, I blushed.

However, she cursed inwardly, thinking that Reba's fellow villager, who looked quite innocent, was actually like this... But then she felt that it wasn't a big deal.

Anyway, Naza had long planned to enter the entertainment industry. With her looks and dancing skills, she should have become a star no matter how you look at it.

Moreover, she has quite a bit of ambition. Naza thinks that with her beauty, she should be heavily promoted as soon as she enters the entertainment industry and quickly become a big star.

You can't blame her for this. After all, from the end of the last century to now, many celebrities have become incredibly popular, like they've been on a rocket.

Just like that Princess Yanzi, and Zhang Ziyi, right? They have already gained immense popularity and countless fans at such a young age, and their status is off the charts.

So, thinking about it further, isn't the audition for "The King's Feast" a sure thing?
This Yu Ji isn't even the female lead, yet she used that as her debut role—that's really helpful!
I never expected to be eliminated like this!
I was already simmering with anger, and now this phone call... made me even angrier for no reason.

But fire is different from fire; this time it seems to be lust... I can't think about it anymore!

Unfortunately, despite telling myself not to overthink it, Naza couldn't fall asleep tonight, tossing and turning in bed.

……

"Oh dear! How could you do this?"

"What's wrong? Weren't you excited too?"

"Who is it?"

"Hehe... You can lie with your mouth, but your body doesn't lie."

Dilraba blushed deeply at Ma Xun's words; she simply couldn't argue with him.

Dilraba actually felt that, "I'm not familiar with Nazar yet."

Yes, we're not very familiar with each other yet. We just met during the audition. However, we did talk about a lot of things, and it seems that the two of them have quite a few things in common.

It's just that we hadn't noticed each other before; it seems really strange.

But since we're not familiar with each other, what will the other party think of me now that I've done this?
Dilraba's face is still very young, and there's another big problem.

"Will she hire paparazzi to leak information or something?"

As soon as the question was raised, Ma Xun burst into laughter.

"What's wrong? Could it be..." Dilraba became embarrassed again.

Ma Xun then made a gesture that infuriated the Korean man, saying, "Unless that's all there is to her brain."

These words immediately made Dilraba laugh nonstop.

Although Ma Xun knew very well that Nazha was not a smart girl, if she were smart she wouldn't have been deceived so many times and would always be love-struck.

But Naza wouldn't be that stupid.

Before even debuting in the entertainment industry, he offended a top figure in the industry.

This is no different from digging your own grave.

Dilraba also figured this out, but once she did, she stopped smiling.

She became serious. "By the way, I probably won't have a chance in the auditions for this show."

Ma Xun nodded and smiled, "It's good that you can understand this point. It's great that you came to try out and gain some experience. As for this movie..."

Ma Xun stopped talking abruptly, having said a bit too much.

Dilraba was naturally very curious, "What's wrong with this movie?"

Ma Xun could only say, "Lu Chuan is completely unreliable. It'll be difficult for his movies to make money..."

It turned out to be the case.

Dilraba certainly believed this, because Lu Chuan's movies did indeed seem to have never made money, and Ma Xun also left a few words.

He knew very well that "The Last Supper" was also a failure, and its box office performance was very strange.

In the original timeline, the timeline where she wasn't as powerful as herself, Lu Chuan and Qin Lan were a couple during the filming of this movie, and they were even talking about getting married.

Lu Chuan is very confident about "The Last Supper". Before the movie is released, they will have to do a lot of activities. Some people joked about the topic between Lu Chuan and Qin Lan.

This guy got a kick out of it and just shouted: "I'll marry Qin Lan if the box office breaks 100 million!"

As we all know, that's how it turned out.

The movie starts off really strong, but then it just fizzles out.

Looking at the box office curve, this film is actually quite strange, because its box office performance dropped unusually after its opening week.

Now, Ma Xun has not only made Qin Lan his own, but he has also figured out why the movie is the way it is.

At Wang and Barbie Hsu's wedding, those two junket operators definitely weren't there just to give a simple gift.

Although he didn't know the details, Ma Xun could guess the general idea.

As for the other people who came to the wedding, such as Zhang Chaoyang, he was probably there to give online support to the movie.

The official website for "The King's Feast" is really very well-designed, which is quite rare. Ma Xun remembers very clearly that there was such a website in the original timeline.

Zhang Chaoyang was actually an important figure who attended both of Wang Xiaofei's weddings, and his relationship with Zhang Lan was certainly not as simple as just knowing her.

It's highly likely that Zhang Chaoyang also intends to get involved in the promotion of "The Last Supper".

Honestly, Sogou is still a very established website with a strong foundation. It's one of the four major portals, a long-established website, and has a large number of fans and users.

Zhang Chaoyang definitely had a great hand, but unfortunately this guy is simply... to put it bluntly, he's the kind of boss who's completely hopeless.

Many people probably don't know some details about this website. Some people might think, "Isn't Sogou doing pretty well? And there's also the online game 'Tian Long Ba Bu'. Later, Da Peng even created 'Diao Si Man'."

But in reality, both the online game and the short drama were created by specific individuals. Let's not even talk about Da Peng. For example, the person in charge of creating the "Tian Long Ba Bu" online game can be said to be fully responsible.

It's safe to say that it has absolutely nothing to do with rising tides.

What happened next was even more bizarre. The person in charge of the "Tianlong" online game, I don't know what was wrong with his brain, he just went and believed in a cult in India. Instead of focusing on the game, he forced his employees to follow suit and go on business trips to India to receive the cult's teachings.

They docked wages if you didn't go, which was a complete mess. In the end, both the game and the company ended up in chaos.

What I'm saying is, even novelists wouldn't dare to write about a powerful game company ending up like this, right?

People who make games should be involved in some high-tech stuff, right? And you, the boss, actually believe in this stuff.

If you write like that, all the readers will run away, and they'll definitely leave behind a mouthful of phlegm before they do!
Bah! What a piece of crap author, what kind of crap plot did he write!
Seriously, nobody would believe it if I told them.

But it's true.

Thinking of this, Ma Xun pulled his thoughts back and decided not to dwell on it anymore, after all, Dilraba was so much fun to be around.

Dilraba was actually thinking about some things too.

"Um, should we help Naza?"

"Huh? How can I help?"

"Aren't you incredibly powerful?"

"I didn't make this film."

"No, what I mean is... it's like I'm definitely out of luck too, so please put in a good word for me."

……

You really don't need hot pot or anything like that.

Ma Xun had originally planned to find an opportunity to criticize Lu Chuan, that bastard, and now the audition for "The King's Feast" was being broadcast on television.

It was a follow-up interview by Beijing TV.

In the original timeline, Dilraba, Gulnazar, and Xin Zhilei all participated in this audition and left behind video footage.

To put it bluntly, Qin Hong and his overseas capital forces have invested a considerable amount in this project.

They take this project very seriously.

Lu Chuan was naturally full of ambition, but this preliminary selection...

Finally, we've reached the stage of announcing the final results.

Ma Xun also arrived at the scene, but his arrival seemed abrupt, yet there was nothing wrong with it at all.

"Oh my! Boss, what brings you here!"

"Haha... Mr. Ma, please have a seat."

Qin Hong had a keen eye; he first greeted Deputy Director Wang, who was present.

Our Deputy Director Wang from Beijing is just a step away from becoming the Director. Qin Hong has to keep a close eye on him.

The recent follow-up report was approved by Director Wang.

Qin Hong must give him a good attitude.

Of course, we cannot overlook Ma Xun, especially since Ma Xun came with Master Wang.

Of course, there were other important people involved, including some celebrities in the industry in addition to Lu Chuan.

In fact, casting has gradually become a separate industry within the industry.

Yes, there are casting companies that specialize in casting for various film and television projects.

In the US, this is something that brokerage firms would handle.

In China, the division is even more detailed.

Actually, they are all very similar.

There were a few people sitting there, and Ma Xun knew about them. Later, they mainly did this kind of work.

But I won't go into details about that. Soon, the final results of our Yu Ji audition will be revealed.

And this result... all the previously eliminated top 16 contestants were present.

Naturally, Dilraba, Gulnazar, and Xin Zhilei all came.

It's important to understand that outsiders are unaware of the true situation. Although there are reports, they don't mention whether it was successful or not; they only focus on the positive aspects of the interviews.

There's still a lot of suspense!
Director Wang even talked to Ma Xun about it.

"It looks very professional."

"Indeed."

Ma Xun didn't say much; he was waiting to see the joke.

After a series of procedures, the final result was announced by Lu Chuan.

"The actress we've chosen to play Yu Ji is... He Dujuan!"

Wow! This result definitely deserves applause.

But soon, everyone realized that something was wrong.

This He Dujuan... doesn't seem to be a top-tier beauty!

If it were Ms. He appearing on her own, there would be no problem. She's not ugly and has a distinctive look. But she's surrounded by Dilraba, Gulnazar, and even Xin Zhilei, who would easily outshine her!

Actually, she has a minor flaw: her eyes are a bit wide-set.

But now we don't need to pay attention to that detail anymore. Just looking at the scene... Director Wang couldn't help but frown.

He glanced at Ma Xun.

Ma Xun immediately laughed, and then simply got up.

"Director Lu, may I ask why you chose Ms. He?"

Yes, give me a reason!
Lu Chuan was initially calm, but upon seeing Director Wang's expression...

Oh no, this is bad!

And what Ma Xun said next was even more impressive!

"With your casting choices, the future movies are truly something to look forward to."

Top-notch sarcastic tone!
