Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 734 Competition with Bingbing! "The Piano in a Steel"!
"Brother Ma, did you run into Zhang Ziyi?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

"Hehe...I'm pretty smart, aren't I?"

"You little rascal, you guessed right, didn't you?"

"What? They relied on their amazing reasoning ability."

"Oh, then tell me about your reasoning process. It seems like that's the most captivating part of detective movies."

"Hmm...it's actually quite simple. It's just that when you were playing with her...you seemed a little hesitant. Were you a bit distracted at the time, like thinking about Zhang Ziyi?"

"Hahaha... Your reasoning is absolutely terrible."

"But I was right after all!"

"But it has nothing to do with your reasoning."

"That can't be right, there must be some connection, Brother Ma~"

It must be said that Bingbing is indeed a beauty among beauties, and the fact that she is so infatuated with Ma Xun, almost to the point of being somewhat perverted, really makes Ma Xun feel... damn good!

However, her so-called reasoning was utter nonsense. Ma Xun didn't want to expose her, but she had already said it...

"Your so-called reasoning must be that you saw her leave, right?"

Hey! That one sentence completely exposed Bingbing's true colors.

"Brother Ma~ You, you're amazing."

She admitted that she made this guess because she saw Zhang Ziyi leave.

She guessed correctly, but the process was wrong. Moreover, it's as if Ma Xun has completely seen through her.

Isn't this enough to shock Bingbing?
Ma Xun knew that Bingbing's brain was only at this level. In fact, this woman wasn't that smart. Just like those famous quotes that Bingbing said in the original timeline, such as "I don't need to marry into a wealthy family, I am a wealthy family," etc., they were all taught to her by others.

Of course, Bingbing isn't stupid, she's just not exceptionally smart.

She only needs her pretty face; she could do very well even without brains, right?

Moreover, they still have some sense.

"Whether I'm good or not, I can tell you something in advance."

"What is it?" Bingbing had a pretty good idea of ​​what it was, and her face lit up with anticipation.

"This time, the Best Actress award should be a sure thing."

Ma Xun calmly finished speaking, but Bingbing almost jumped up after hearing it.

"Yay! That's awesome! Brother Ma~mua~~~"

He gave Ma Xun a series of passionate kisses, and after that...

"It seems like I only tried some relatively simple techniques just now."

What techniques?
Bingbing's gaze then fell upon the rather thick hemp rope.

Ma Xun couldn't help but laugh, "You little slut, aren't you afraid your scars will get caught?"

He meant that if they go too wild now, it would be troublesome if reporters caught them and took pictures of those traces when they walked the red carpet later.

Bingbing, swaying her fair body, said, "It would be better if I dressed more conservatively."

What a slut!
Ma Xun certainly wouldn't let her go hungry, but there was one more thing.

"I can give you the Best Actress award this time, but in the future, you must part ways with that guy surnamed Li."

"Huh?" Bingbing's face was full of surprise. "Why?"

Ma Xun naturally couldn't say for sure that this guy surnamed Li was no good, and he had a smarter way of putting it.

Didn't you notice the way she looked at me?

Wow! That was a powerful move.

Bingbing was so angry she was about to burst out, and she couldn't help but curse inwardly, "That bitch!"

But right now...

"Brother Ma, I'll definitely listen to you."

Indeed, Bingbing has been trained quite well.

Now, let's try some advanced techniques that are a bit different from what we've seen before.

Actually, Ma Xun doesn't know either; he's still figuring it out himself.

……

Whether the female director Li Yu had feelings for Ma Xun or not is completely irrelevant.

The important thing is that Ma Xun used a small trick to drive a wedge between Bingbing and Li Yu.

that's enough.

In the original timeline, the best opportunity for Bingbing and Li Yu as a couple was to achieve fame at the Tokyo International Film Festival with "Buddha Mountain".

Seriously, this was their highlight moment.

The original timeline had a movie called "Apple," but this movie is more famous mainly because it was too controversial, and also because of the part that Bingbing (Fan Bingbing) leaked.

This kind of time and space doesn't exist now.

After watching the original "Buddha Mountain", the two of them collaborated on films such as "Ever Since We Love". Although "Ever Since We Love" grossed over 100 million yuan, it didn't have much positive impact on Bingbing.

On the contrary, it made the novel's original author, Feng Tang, and publisher Lu Jinbo famous.

Of course, some people might say that Feng Tang was already famous a long time ago, and that Lu Jinbo was originally Han Er's mastermind.

That's absolutely true, but without "Ever Since We Love," Feng Tang and Lu Jinbo would never have been able to move on.

They can only be great in the publishing industry at best, but you should know that there are many great people in the traditional publishing industry.

For example, Zhang Lixian. Some people might recognize the name and think, "Isn't that a character from the TV show 'My Regiment'?"

But actually, this character shouldn't have been in "My Regiment". This person was added later, just like Shi Hang, who played the monk.

Zhang Lixian is a publisher with a lot of connections in the industry. He's also quite good at creating buzz and knows a little bit about everything.

A project was launched this year called "Detective Hunter Zhang," and the actor playing Hunter Zhang is Zhang Lixian.

Interestingly, this movie is based on a true story, but almost all the actors in it are online celebrities.

Well, to be more precise, 90% of them are those colonialists, those guys who fawn over foreigners and constantly call others patriotic traitors. The representative figure among them is: Homework Book.

Those who frequently travel through time will surely remember what that bastard did.

However, none of these guys played any good guys in this movie. For example, this guy with the notebook played a stupid, mentally unstable thief.

This must be a natural performance.

It can be said that these online influencers were basically contacted by Zhang Lixian, and then director Gao Qunshu arranged roles for them.

So, whether bringing these bastards into the movie and giving them a chance to shine is a good thing for them or an insult to them is hard to say.

But let's get back to "Ever Since We Love". Bingbing really didn't need to work with Li Yu on this film.

Her profits were much smaller than those of Feng Tang and Lu Jinbo. Lu Jinbo later emerged from his hiding place behind Han Er, established a company, and produced quite a few movies, such as "Pegasus".

Many people have probably heard of Lu Jinbo's wife, Zhao Ziqi, who was originally a CCTV host and later became an actress.

That being said, since Bingbing has such excellent altruistic qualities, why doesn't she benefit me, Ma Xun?
Yes, you can benefit me in the future, and I will support you in return.

Now that you, Bingbing, have won this Best Actress award, you'll have to earn even more profits for me in the future.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone could get what they needed?

So it seems... Ma Xun and Li Yu are vying for Bingbing?

Let's fight it out, who's afraid of who!

However, this year's Tokyo International Film Festival was not as simple as Ma Xun had imagined.

He had just spent the whole night with Bingbing studying rope knotting techniques for wilderness survival, and the very next afternoon someone came knocking on his door.

"Mr. Ma, right? Hehe... Well, we're not familiar with each other, but is there something we can talk about?"

"We're not familiar with each other, but I recognize the two of you, and this one... If I'm not mistaken, this is Director Zhang Meng, right?"

Ok?
Who is this person?
She was a woman in her thirties. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she had a good overall demeanor.

It is Qinhai Road.

The other was a man in his thirties with a very long face and a very thin build; in short, he wasn't very good-looking.

He is Wang Qianyuan.

Hey, this guy's name is really interesting; you could say he's one person who later became a group.

Of course, even the combined acting skills of the three members of that group can't compare to his alone.

Putting him aside, the key is the director whom Ma Xun 'guessed' so easily, Zhang Meng!
Director Zhang Meng was immediately surprised when Ma Xun recognized him.

"Mr. Ma, do you know me?"

Yes, they weren't close, but Ma Xun said very warmly.

"We're all from Northeast China, so it's my treat."

Great! That's generous!
Indeed, all four of them are from Northeast China, that's for sure.

But did these fellow villagers really eat and drink together when they met?
Prices in Tokyo are really high. To put it simply, the first thing housewives do every morning is look at the posters and advertisements crammed into supermarkets, which are basically just daily discount information.

Yes, this is a must-learn skill for Tokyo housewives. Unless you are from a truly wealthy family, middle-class women must master this skill.

This shows how stressful life is in this place.

Now, Ma Xun readily ordered a table full of Japanese food, none of which looked cheap.

Zhang Meng, Qin Hailu, and Wang Qianyuan looked at each other in a panic.

“Mr. Ma, it’s true we’re from the same hometown, but your hospitality…”

Even Zhang Meng's title has changed.

Ma Xun laughed and said bluntly, "I heard you guys made a movie before, right?"

"Wow! My brother Ma! You're amazing!"

Qin Hailu's eyes were shining; she thought Ma Xun was... incredibly nice!
Ahem, when Ma Xun saw that look in her eyes, he remembered something. He had heard that Qin Hailu liked to read CEO romance novels. Was she treating him like a CEO?

But I'm not interested in you.

The actresses I rode were all top-tier in terms of looks and figure.

"The Piano in a Factory, right!?"

To put it bluntly, when the movie title was revealed, Zhang Meng and the other two were even more dumbfounded.

"You, Mr. Ma...you actually knew!"

Zhang Meng was deeply shocked and didn't know what to do.

But that's exactly what they came for.

Qin Hailu dared to speak up, "Mr. Ma, let me be frank, our production team is actually quite poor. When our director Wang started filming, it only cost 7 yuan. I invested 500 million yuan in it. This film... my brother Ma, could you do me a favor?"

Good heavens! Even the way they address each other has changed!
Mr. Ma to Brother Ma... Ma Xun is really... he truly is a domineering CEO. Qin Hailu has discovered a real domineering CEO.

"How about this, I'll offer 1000 million, and you can have this film, okay? Also, I'll take care of this Tokyo Film Festival for you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Meng, Qin Hailu, and Wang Qianyuan were all dumbfounded!

Mr. Ma Xunma... is so awesome!
