Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 736 Winning Over Both Movie Kings and Actresses! Bingbing Pledges Her Loyalty!
"Thank you to my parents, thank you to my brother, thank you... especially thank you to... Director Li Yu! Although this is our last collaboration, I must express my special gratitude to you!"

Bingbing's acceptance speech was truly insightful.

To be honest, she did have some hesitation before, but now that she has won the Best Actress award at the Tokyo International Film Festival.

Bingbing had something special about this real fame and fortune... that was Zhang Ziyi's jealous gaze.

That's right. No matter how good Zhang Ziyi's acting skills are, she couldn't hide the jealousy in her congratulatory gaze at this moment.

Although there was applause, and although there were other things to say... unfortunately, it still couldn't be concealed.

Hehehe... You don't even have an Best Actress award from an A-list international film festival, do you?

It must be admitted, and even Bingbing herself admits, that Zhang Ziyi's acting skills are indeed much better than hers.

But so what if you're a good actor?
You just can't win an award for an actress of that caliber!

Bingbing's current state of mind... After finishing her acceptance speech, she immediately returned to her team, but on the way, she made a point of giving Zhang Ziyi a close kiss on the cheek.

The two of them were really... still smiling very beautifully.

Just the details...

Bingbing returned to her team and celebrated with everyone again, but after settling in, she couldn't help but lean over to Ma Xun and whisper something to him.

"I could feel her trembling slightly."

That was all, spoken softly, and then it returned to its original state.

Such a private conversation is perfectly safe; Bingbing's simple talk with her investor won't generate any gossip.

However, Ma Xun could also sense Bingbing's current state of mind.

She wins!
She put on a big show in front of Zhang Ziyi!

She's the real winner this time!

Moreover, Ma Xun also knew why Bingbing was so eager to speak out, even at the risk of being exposed.

She just made her choice!
Publicly stating that he will no longer cooperate with Li Yu is the final answer to me, Ma Xun.

Great, I'm very satisfied!
Ma Xun promptly cast an admiring glance at Bingbing.

This scene made Li Yu so angry that her stomach ached!

That's it, it's completely over.

Bingbing publicly stated in this setting that the two of them would no longer work together, so how could there possibly be any chance of reconciliation in the future?
It must be that bastard Ma Xun!

He monopolized Bingbing!

Li Yu was angry, but in reality, someone was even angrier than her.

Needless to say, it's Zhang Ziyi.

Bingbing, you slut!

Although she maintained a smile on the surface, Zhang Ziyi was absolutely furious inside!
In other words... Bingbing pressed her face against Zhang Ziyi's! She directly showed off her face to Zhang Ziyi!
This show was so high-end that no one could find fault with it.

Zhang Ziyi, you don't have any works that have entered the Tokyo Film Festival. Besides, Bingbing specially invited you here because of the deep friendship between sisters.

They meant well.

Now that Bingbing has won Best Actress at an A-list international film festival, you, her best friend, should be happy, right?

but!

Zhang Ziyi was burning with rage!
Why is that? Well, the reason is actually very simple.

It's because of Ma Xun.

This award was definitely obtained by Ma Xun for Bingbing, and just now, Zhang Ziyi clearly saw Bingbing's 'inner qualities'.

Yes, their contact was naturally intimate, and since they were both women, it wouldn't seem strange to others. However, Zhang Ziyi could still see into Bingbing's chest.

She's a woman, so of course it's nothing, but... this is probably Bingbing's doing!
Why would Zhang Ziyi think that way?

It's very simple, because Zhang Ziyi noticed some strange ligature marks...

You guys are playing such a weird game!

How could Zhang Ziyi not understand? But... there was nothing he could do!

No matter what Zhang Ziyi thought, it was useless; she could only suffer in silence.

However, Zhang Ziyi was somewhat intelligent; she was smarter than Bingbing, and she immediately figured out everything...

It was all Ma Xun's doing!
Yes, the award was given by Ma Xun, and those marks were also caused by Ma Xun playing around with them. He even showed them off to Bingbing, so it's likely that Ma Xun taught Bingbing to do it!
Well... the last one was Zhang Ziyi wrongly accusing Ma Xun, but the others were quite accurate.

Let's leave those details aside.

The key point is, Ma Xun, you're targeting me!

Zhang Ziyi's idea is indeed a bit... off track.

Yes, Ma Xun did teach Bingbing a skill.

As for... just then, another amazing piece of good news arrived!
"King Qianyuan!"

what? !

The entire Roppongi area fell silent for a moment!

A movie star?!
That's right!

Wang Qianyuan won the Best Actor award at the Tokyo International Film Festival for his role in "The Piano in a Factory"!

This is truly astonishing! The key point is that this is Tokyo, Japan. Although it's an international film festival, it's completely unexpected that two Chinese people won Best Actor and Best Actress!

Even Wang Qianyuan himself didn't realize what was happening.

He remained 'calm' for more than ten seconds on the spot.

It had to be Ma Xun who led the applause, clap clap... clap clap clap clap...

The applause had barely begun when the entire venue erupted in cheers once again.

"grateful……"

Wang Qianyuan was so excited; he never expected to win the Best Actor award.

I was truly moved to tears. I've been acting for so many years, but I've never really become famous.

Now it's even becoming famous overseas...

This acceptance speech was truly heartfelt. In the end... "Special thanks to our investor, Ms. Qin Hailu, and another investor, Mr. Ma Xun!"

That's right, we should remember those who helped us, and we haven't forgotten our current boss either.

Ma Xun smiled and nodded.

Thus, the Tokyo International Film Festival can be said to have come to a perfect end... for Ma Xun.

Wait!
This isn't the end for others!

Li Yu still has expectations; she hopes that this film, "Buddha Mountain," will bring her a real award.

I've already broken up with Bingbing, shouldn't I get some kind of reward as compensation?

but……

No! The name of the movie "Buddha Mountain" was never mentioned again!
Li Yu remained seated in that chair, still in a daze, even after the awards ceremony had ended.

Someone reminded her, and she then got up and followed the large group of people.

Such a result... Li Yu couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Ma Xun, you're such a bastard!
Is there any truth to Li Yu's accusation against Ma Xun?
What reason could she possibly have at this point? Her resolve was crumbling.

Ignoring her, Ma Xun completed his trip to the Tokyo Film Festival with a smile on his face.

……

"Brother Ma, isn't this a bit cruel to Li Yu?"

"Do you think I'm cruel?"

"Of course not, I meant the organizing committee of the Tokyo Film Festival."

"Then why are you telling me this? Go find the organizing committee and yell at them."

"Brother Ma~ that's not what I meant. It's just that Director Li Yu helped me win this Best Actress award. Would it be considered ungrateful of me to do this?"

After the awards ceremony, there was a small cocktail party, but it was all meaningless.

As mentioned before, these parties are basically film copyright resale events; people aren't there to drink, but to discuss business.

However, Ma Xun already had a target for his "Buddha Mountain" project... cough cough, a potential buyer.

That's Dongbao, that scoundrel.

Therefore, Ma Xun quickly finished drinking and left, which made Da Shan very happy, knowing that he was in the clear.

Da Shan was unaware that this was actually Ma Xun's initial deception.

After Ma Xun left, Bingbing naturally refused to stay any longer. If she weren't worried about gossip spreading, she would have definitely left with Ma Xun.

Okay, I'll wait ten minutes before I leave.

However, as soon as they returned to their residence, Bingbing couldn't wait to come to Ma Xun's place. Without even changing out of her evening gown, she rushed into Ma Xun's arms.

They used to give us resources, but now they're even giving us international film queens!
This kindness... Bingbing felt that even if she were killed by Brother Ma, it would be worth it... cough cough, her thoughts were getting more and more lewd.

Let's not worry about these details.

Bingbing's support for Li Yu is actually a testament to her intelligence.

After all, this movie was made by Li Yu. If she speaks up for Li Yu now, she will be even more loyal to Ma Xun in the future!

Yes, she was actually saying that she is a very sentimental person.

Such attention to detail... Bingbing is indeed quite clever.

Ma Xun certainly understood, but as for the future...

"We will give you more resources later."

"Huh? What is it?"

"I'm planning to collaborate with Brother Long on a film; you've probably heard of it."

Good guy!
Without saying a word, Bingbing immediately got up and started walking... walking back and forth.

what's the situation?
"What's wrong with you?" Ma Xun asked, puzzled.

Bingbing smiled slightly, her allure captivating, and said, "Brother Ma, didn't you realize it?"

What did you hear?
Hmm? Oh~~ I've got it!

"The bell is ringing?" Ma Xun asked with a smile.

Yes, it seemed as if the sound of bells was coming from Bingbing's body.

Did she swallow the bell?

Bingbing smiled and lifted her skirt.

The glossy stockings, with that sheen, are clearly high-end. And then...

"These are new stockings."

No, what does a bell have to do with stockings?

We were just talking about bells, and now you're bringing up stockings...

Ma Xun had already laughed. "Then why didn't you make that sound when you walked before?"

Bingbing then jumped into Ma Xun's words, "Brother Ma~ You're so smart, guess!"

Not bad! Pretty flashy!
Ma Xun really likes Bingbing like this.

Of course, Ma Xun was quite certain that Bingbing would be absolutely loyal in the future.

In this 'battle' with Li Yu, Ma Xun has won far too many times.

He's far more skilled, and his resources are also far superior.

As for the rest...

The next morning, someone came to visit.

"Is Mr. Ma here? Mr. Long is here."

At that moment, the hotel receptionist called.

That's right, the big brother dragon is here, and we can now seriously discuss this "Chinese Zodiac".
