Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 732 Nazar still needs some adjustments, Bingbing is aiming for the Tokyo Film Festival!
"Does that mean even if they've gone to such lengths, it's still not acceptable?"

"I said no, and that's final. Even if you made me do it ten or a hundred more times, it still wouldn't work."

"Oh dear! How could you say such a hurtful thing!"

"I said no from the beginning, so stop arguing."

"You, hum!"

"What? You don't want to think about it anymore?"

"I...I didn't say I didn't want to..."

Naza really went all out. She pulled out all the stops to get "Scarlet Heart" aired as soon as possible, but unfortunately, it was all in vain.

However, Ma Xun didn't lie to her. He had already said it wouldn't work from the beginning. As for their in-depth conversation, that was just what Naza wanted.

See, now I want to learn new knowledge again.

Sad people.

Ma Xun had been fiddling with that thing for over an hour; the two of them needed a break.

"Um... can you tell me why?" Naza was clearly still not giving up.

Ma Xun understood why she was doing this; she was also eager to become famous.

Now that she's in the entertainment industry, who wouldn't want to be famous? It's only human nature. Besides, Naza has some special qualities, like Dilraba.

Dilraba has already become quite popular. After the movie "Bad Genius," although she still went to school, she was constantly appearing in magazines and giving interviews.

She's a rising star in the entertainment industry, and with Dilraba's looks, some big brands have already come to talk to her.

Ma Xun had known this would happen all along. After all, in the original timeline, even though Dilraba didn't have many representative works, she was still a favorite of many brands and could still hold her position as a top star.

Naza's looks are comparable to, if not better than, Dilraba's. It would be ridiculous if she weren't anxious seeing Dilraba on magazine covers.

But Ma Xun knew even better that becoming famous was also a matter of fate, and Na Zha didn't have any representative works in her original timeline. The most memorable role she had was probably Jian Guo in "Sewing Machine Band". So, she really couldn't rush things.

Actually, as things stand, Naza is much better than her original self. Her role in "Scarlet Heart" is quite good. If this drama becomes popular, wouldn't she be much better than the original Naza?

It could be said that, in Ma Xun's view, he had already given Naza enough benefits, but Naza herself was unaware of it.

Since this matter couldn't be revealed, Ma Xun had no choice but to adopt the domineering CEO persona and appease Na Zha.

But right now, looking at her silly little face... Ma Xun really likes her very much.

However, he still needs to be properly trained!
"You are simply insatiable."

"Huh? Do I... have one?"

Ma Xun's words left Na Zha completely dumbfounded. Had he really gone too far?

But Ma Xun continued, "You're still a newcomer. Although some media outlets have reported on you and made you known to some people, you don't have any works yet, so you can't be considered to have truly entered the entertainment industry."

You're getting anxious because "Palace" became a hit, right? But have you noticed that there's another important character in "Palace"?

Who is an important character in "Palace"?
Naza looked completely bewildered, his mouth slightly open, his eyes wide open, looking somewhat silly and cute, yet also quite amusing.

Ma Xun said seriously, "It's your fellow townsman, Tong Liya. Haven't you seen this show?"

"Of course I saw it," Naza quickly emphasized, but then seemed a little confused, "What happened to her?"

Although Naza didn't quite understand the obvious meaning, her tone had softened considerably because she vaguely sensed something.

Ma Xun said bluntly, "Your sister Tong has been in the industry for a while now, and she's quite famous. Her looks are widely praised, and she has several solid works. But in this 'Palace,' she's still willing to play the second female lead. Can you guess why?"

Actually, Naza already understood by this point, but she still couldn't help but stubbornly insist, "She is her, and I am me."

This time, Ma Xun simply grabbed Nazha's neck from behind and brought her stunningly beautiful face close to his own. The two were extremely close, and Nazha felt flustered and her heart raced, all of which was sensed by Ma Xun's large hand.

"She is where she is today because she is obedient. She knows that only by listening to me, Ma Xun, can she gain a foothold in the entertainment industry. She treats me like her heaven and earth, and of course, I will make her a big star. She is not in a hurry, nor does she compete or fight for anything. That is what I like about her."

what about you?
So you're not going to listen to me?

Such a strong sense of pressure. Although he wasn't shouting, he made Naza feel completely controlled... Well, that makes sense, his neck was being held.

"I understand, Brother Ma~ I'll listen to you from now on."

After saying that, Naza couldn't help but kiss him and gently bite Ma Xun's lips.

Not bad. Although Naza definitely won't end up like Yaya, the girl's personality will still be there, but she's become more sensible.

So Ma Xun put in even more effort to mold Na Zha into an obedient girl.

He didn't notice that outside, the autumn nights in the capital were quite chilly, and a girl was secretly warming herself with her hands.

……

"About that matter..."

"Let's not rush things."

"What do you mean there's no rush?"

"Ahem, I'll go back and tell Ms. Cai first. If she's going to scold me, then she can scold me instead."

"You... Naza, you're actually a pretty nice person."

"hey-hey……"

Naza also failed, but she couldn't tell Shishi the reason.

Fortunately, Shishi didn't investigate further.

That girl is a good person, that's what Naza understands... Anyway, this girl is sometimes smart and sometimes not.

And just like that, Nazha went back to Shanghai to report.

But in reality, how could Shishi not know what method she used?

And so... Shishi made a decision in her heart.

If Sister Mi is like that, and Naza is like that, then why can't I be like that?

Yes, we're going all out!

Besides, age is not a problem.

Having completed her mental preparation, Shishi went to the Guangxian Building once again.

result……

"Oh, Miss Liu, Mr. Ma isn't here."

"Not here? Where did he go?"

How could Shishi not be anxious?
I made up my mind, but he wasn't there? I'm so upset!

"No way, you guys..."

"Miss Liu, please don't worry, Mr. Ma is going to Japan."

"what?"

Since the receptionist already said that, she figured it couldn't be a lie. Shishi couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment.

I never imagined I would... sigh~
With a sigh, there was nothing that could be done; perhaps this was fate's arrangement.

It seems that "Scarlet Heart" will have to wait a while before it's released.

However, at this moment, Shishi was actually hoping that Ma Xun could return soon.

She herself didn't realize how strange this feeling was.

……

Ma Xun certainly didn't go to Japan to hide from Shi Shi; why would he be afraid of a little beauty?

Going to Japan was something that had already been planned.

Tokyo International Film Festival!
That's right, don't forget Bingbing and her film "Buddha Mountain".

This year's Tokyo International Film Festival is a little late.

But it's okay, this is good too. Ma Xun had already made thorough arrangements through Da Shan long ago.

When Ma Xun landed, the lineup that came to pick him up was quite impressive.

"Welcome, welcome! Mr. Ma, it's been a long time."

Da Shan naturally came, and his bow was perfectly timed, clearly expressing his respect and flattery.

That's just how things are in Japan.

Ma Xun gladly accepted, but others saw it differently.

"Brother Ma, I miss you so much." Bingbing said this as if no one else was around, but if there really was no one else around, she would definitely have jumped into Ma Xun's arms.

Putting everything else aside, just seeing how respectful Toho executives like Daiyama are to Ma Xun, isn't winning the Tokyo International Film Festival a sure thing?

The original plan was for Bingbing to make a splash and also to teach that woman Zhang Ziyi a lesson.

Therefore, among those who came to pick them up at the airport this time were not only Dashan and Bingbing, but also Li Yu, the director of the movie "Buddha Mountain", and Zhang Ziyi.

“I miss you too.” Ma Xun would not normally say this, because it would be tantamount to exposing his relationship with the actress under his management.

But this time, he not only spoke, but also glanced at Zhang Ziyi while speaking.

"..." Zhang Ziyi's expression was very complicated.

It's a bit of a stretch to call it a smile, but if you were to say it's angry, the corners of its mouth would turn up.

At this moment, Li Yu spoke up, "Mr. Ma, let's go back to our base first."

What she said was indeed correct, but it also served to disrupt Ma Xun and Bingbing's public display of affection.

Ma Xun knew this woman to some extent. As a director, she wasn't without talent, but, for example, the movie "Apple" was actually quite darkly humorous in terms of plot.

However, this woman is also very Western-worshipping and obsequious, basically praising foreign countries in this and that way.

Years later, a single sentence became famous: "Using women's night runs."

This woman's words go beyond being stupid; they're downright wicked.

Moreover, she definitely doesn't understand running and is also 100% not a runner, because in the later short video era, there were countless videos of people showing off their night runs in the running community.

There's a writer named Black Bicycle. He really likes running, but when he went for a night run chasing after a Chanel-style girl, he got outpaced by her.

Let's not talk about that anymore, it's just too awkward.

Generally speaking, night running in China is quite safe; what's truly unsafe is overseas, and anyone with a sound mind knows that.

Therefore, Ma Xun really didn't have a good impression of Li Yu.

After this, he planned to call Bingbing back and tell her to stop hanging out with that woman.

But right now... the way Director Li is looking at Ma Xun is quite strange.

What do you mean?
You're also after me?
Pooh!
Ma Xun didn't say much, since he was going to the base anyway. He just asked Da Shan a question.

"Why isn't Yami here?"

Upon hearing this, Da Shan broke out in a cold sweat and could only force a smile as he said, "Mr. Ma, Miss Changze has been extremely busy lately, and her gratitude towards you is as boundless as a surging river."

Goodness, this guy even used a classic line from Stephen Chow.

That's normal. Stephen Chow is very popular in Japan, so this is a good example of how Da Shan applies his knowledge.

Ma Xun laughed and said, "Are you afraid she'll cause some more trouble with me? Actually, it's a misunderstanding."

Pointing it out directly eased Da Shan's embarrassment somewhat.

"Arigato, Masang!"

But there are some things that need to be said.

"She's genuinely busy, isn't she?"

Ma Xun's words had a hidden meaning, and Da Shan, being a smart man, understood immediately.

"That's right! 'Bad Genius' is a huge box office hit in Japan! Ms. Nagasawa is also becoming more and more popular."

This is exactly what Ma Xun wanted to ask. Although he already knew that "Bad Genius" was a huge hit in Japan, he still wanted to hear it from Daishan.

This is a complete takeover of Dashan, so don't try anything funny.

At this moment, Dashan was like a subordinate reporting to a superior, and doing so with great loyalty.

With that, the Tokyo International Film Festival should be a sure thing.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Ziyi couldn't help but say something.

"Mr. Ma, you're quite the star."

It's not fair to call it sarcastic or obsequious, but there's definitely something more to it.

Ma Xun laughed heartily, "Miss Zhang is quite glamorous too, isn't she?"

This is pure sarcasm and cynicism.

After what happened before, Zhang Ziyi is currently at the lowest point in her career.

How can you call it a scenic spot?

This time, Bingbing took the initiative to invite her, and seeing this situation... luckily she's a good actress, otherwise she would have been grinding her teeth to powder long ago.

Seeing this, Bingbing was overjoyed.

They were still planning how to play with Brother Ma next.

Now that we're in Japan... we should do something exciting, right?

Candle? Rope? Leather...it hurts a bit.
