Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 710 Lin Xilei's Sexy Retirement from the Entertainment Industry!
"Hey! Here comes my chance!"

Qin Hong was having a headache trying to keep "Metallic Attraction" going, but unexpectedly, a turning point came!
International students are criticizing the movie "Bad Genius"!

This is great!
You should know that these international students have taken the SAT exam, and the movie "Bad Genius" produced by Ma Xun is mainly about cheating on exams, and the final hurdle is the SAT!

Simply put, they treated this exam like a major boss.

This is interesting. Defeating a big boss is something everyone would love to see, but the problem is... our movie is cheating!

The methods used were illegal, not the right way.

Conversely, if the SAT can be passed by cheating, what does that tell us?
Is there something wrong with this exam?

Although the cheating methods in the movie are very sophisticated, the plot is very tense and the sense of oppression is very strong, which is very suspenseful.

The main reason why "Bad Genius" is currently receiving such good reviews is that many people did not expect that cheating on exams could be portrayed in such a thrilling and intense way.

However you look at it, this is still cheating!

And does this cheating... also affect test takers?

Yes, if there's a problem with the SAT, and this exam can be cheated on, then what about the test takers?
Are there any problems with the exam results of the candidates who passed this exam?

Of course, this is just a simple analysis, because quite a few international students are now criticizing this movie.

Their motivation was probably this: if this movie discredited the SAT exam, it would be like smearing the reputation of international students like them!

But were these international students really acting on their own initiative?

After seeing this change, Qin Hong naturally contacted Jia Yueting of Leshi.

result……

"Haha... This situation, of course, is something we created!"

Jia Yueting, Qin Hong, and General Manager Li reunited, and our Boss Jia was all smiles, 'showing off'.

Was it him who did it?

Upon hearing this, Qin Hong and General Manager Li immediately understood who could have caused this. It must have been Zhang Zhao, since he was also a former overseas student.

Zhang Zhao was one of the early students to study abroad, and he was even sent abroad on a government scholarship. He's a very bright guy; he was the top scorer in the local college entrance examination back then.

So, this method must have been Zhang Zhao's idea. You, Jia Yueting... let's not talk about studying abroad, are you even a college student?
Of course, this can't be said; saying it would cause the alliance to collapse.

Jia Yueting boasted for a while, but the one who actually got things done was Zhang Zhao.

"Dear bosses, this is a fantastic opportunity! This topic has resonated with many international students, and quite a few netizens are on their side. We should seize this opportunity and... relentlessly pursue the movie 'The Gunman'!"

That's right, that's how it should be done, but some people are just a bit too curious.

"Old Zhang, what exactly happened to you?"

Mr. Li said something really insightful... Hey!

It wasn't explicitly stated that this was something Old Zhang did; Jia Yueting was simply trying to take the credit for himself.

Moreover, Jia Yueting couldn't do anything about President Li, because he only said "that" to Zhang Zhao, and nothing else.

If you, Jia Yueting, get angry, that just proves that President Li is right, isn't he?

Zhang Zhao was naturally pleased, but he still needed to clarify things. "Our CEO Jia's strategy is truly brilliant. I only offered some suggestions that were slightly helpful."

Goodness, this guy is a real veteran in the workplace.

In fact, Zhang Zhao's actions were somewhat similar to Ma Xun's tactics. He was also waiting for overseas students to criticize the movie before he fueled the fire.

Everyone uses the same approach, and there's a reason for doing it this way. If there weren't such comments, and it were just a matter of pushing this issue forward, like Zhang Zhao insisting on doing it, finding a few people to pretend to be international students, or even recruiting international students to criticize... But doing it this way would definitely not be effective; it would be a waste of money.

Wait until there are such voices online before promoting it; that way, it will resonate with more people.

But right now, Zhang Zhao can't say all of this; he's feeling a bit bitter inside.

And what needs to be done next is...

"Take this matter to the SAT authorities!"

Good heavens! Zhang Zhao's move was ruthless!
Upon hearing this, the business owners were both pleased and inexplicably uneasy.

This is because it's not something an average person would think of. Although the SAT is a global exam with very high standards, the official body for this exam is not the exam itself, but an organization called the College Board.

Got it? This exam is for studying in the US, so of course it's for this organization.

It's very simple to explain, but if you don't understand these things, you might not be able to think of it right away.

Zhang Zhao's plan is to undermine our foundation; if he succeeds in doing so...

Shouldn't the SAT officials come out and criticize "Bad Genius"?

Wouldn't this movie become a joke then?
It might even involve relations between countries.

Therefore, Jia Yueting, Qin Hong, General Manager Li and others all felt that this was a brilliant plan!

Striking down our opponents is good for us.

Although "Metallic Attraction: Kung Fu Cyborg" is no longer a strong box office hit, if we beat "Bad Genius," then we've won!

After all, "Metallic Attraction: Kung Fu Cyborg" is still ahead of the curve!

Just do it!

……

"You didn't arrange for these international students, did you?"

"Why do you think so?"

"Because that's so much in line with your style of doing things."

"Haha... I would like to make that arrangement, but there's no need."

"What do you mean?"

"I knew they would jump out."

"Ah, this..." Ma Xun recalled his interactions with Lin Xilei, including their conversations afterwards.

Her mouth gaped open in surprise, but Ma Xun immediately covered it.

Okay, let's get back to the chat.

Lin Xilei truly hadn't expected Ma Xun to have such a tactic: angering the international students.

Wait a minute, how can angering international students be considered a tactic?

It's very simple, just like why these people would jump out?

Ma Xun must emphasize that those who go to study in the United States are definitely outstanding talents.

Many of them will return to serve their country, and government-sponsored study abroad has indeed had a positive impact on the development of our country.

However, there are certainly many students who go to the United States for the same reason: they can't get into any university in China, let alone a good one.

The vast majority of these international students come from wealthy families, many of them are second-generation rich kids. They are simply spoiled and pampered because their academic performance is poor.

So, will these people cheat during the exam?
Putting aside whether he could or not, the key point is that Ma Xunzhen foresaw the current situation a long time ago!
He really didn't lie to Lin Xilei, so this could also be considered one of his tactics.

Since he had foreseen this, Ma Xun's next move was naturally prepared well in advance.

Lin Xilei was surprised by this, and as a result, Building 2 was lost.

What should Ma Xun do next?

Let's hear what valuable information Lin Xilei has to give him first.

Can you guess the ending of "Reign of Assassins"?

"what?"

"That kind of work! Hehe... for you men."

Hearing this, Ma Xun felt inexplicably disappointed, because he had known this all along.

Actually, the problem with the movie "Reign of Assassins" is that everyone made such a big fuss, but in the end it was all for Kun Kun's rebirth... sigh.

Kun Kun has wandered for half its life; it probably never imagined it would become so important.

However, the film's director and screenwriter, Su Zhaobin, did lay some groundwork.

The villain played by actor Wang Xueqi is called King Wheel.

The story of King Yama is clearly borrowed from the tale of Lao Ai.

The more you emphasize something, the less likely you are to actually have it.

But this foreshadowing was too subtle and not sophisticated enough.

Ma Xun pressed Lin Xilei for answers to some other questions, which she answered without reservation.

It's not bad.

Just like that, Ma Xun sent away a sexy female star in the entertainment industry with one shot.

Yes, the power of that shot was terrifying.

However, one can also think about it more deeply: Lin Xilei's retirement from the entertainment industry represents the end of a style of Hong Kong cinema.

That's 'sexy'.

The biggest difference between Hong Kong films and mainland films lies in this aspect. To put it bluntly, they can produce three-part films, while we mainlanders can't.

Lin Xilei can be considered the last sexy actress in Hong Kong cinema, and she also has a pure and innocent feel to her.

It's not the kind of thing that's purely about selling sex.

After she retired from the entertainment industry, there were almost no more films of this type. Although some Hong Kong films later broke through the boundaries, they were all unacceptable and not suitable for mainstream audiences.

From another perspective, Hong Kong films will become more and more like mainland films. Of course, this may also be another way for Hong Kong films to survive.

Putting all that aside, what should Ma Xun do next?

After sending off Hong Kong's last sexy actress with a single shot, Ma Xun returned to Enlight Media.

"Boss, there are already some posts online, it seems like someone has reported our movie to the College Board in the United States."

"very good."

"Huh? This, this is alright?"

"Of course it's great."

Wang Changtian was completely taken aback by his boss's response to his report.

Is something wrong?

Ma Xun laughed heartily, "Don't worry, there will be results soon."

Wang Changtian was completely on the edge of his seat, wondering what would happen next.
Regarding "Bad Genius," those so-called complaint posts seem rather strange.

What are they reporting?

But then things got interesting, because almost all of those reports went unanswered!

Those who emailed the council received no response whatsoever!
However, the situation changed again.

"Can you pass this exam without cheating?"

"Forget it, do you think we don't know what some international students are like? Even if you go to America, will you even go to school?"

"Haha... Many people in China probably don't know this, but when you went to study in the US, the first person to contact you was someone who took your exams for you!"

"Many people's English proficiency actually declines after studying abroad!"

what is this?
Is the movie "Bad Genius" entirely based on true events?

We don't know for sure, but there are quite a few netizens sharing this information online!
