Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 83: Big hype after winning the award! "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" is about to be released!
"You really don't understand men."

"Why don't I understand?"

"They lied to you, didn't they?"

"Yes."

"Then do you know how to deal with scammers like them?"

"How to deal with it?"

"You are living a good and wonderful life, and you are still the big star Wang Xianxian who has influence throughout Asia!

They will feel very sad when they see you like this."

Sister Hong would never have guessed what Ma Xun was doing.

Or, who to do it with.

And Wang Xunxian finally understood what Ma Xun meant by what he had said before.

As for the results of the Tokyo Film Festival.

Sorry, I'm busy.

Now, let’s talk about something else.

Wang Yunxian never expected that Ma Xun would actually wake her up.

Just think about what I have to say.

In fact, what Ma Xun said was right.

Wang Yunxian really thought about becoming a monk.

Whenever she returns to Taiwan or Hong Kong recently, she always goes to famous temples.

There are really too many things in my heart.

And now Ma Xun said this.

What he said makes a lot of sense.

"I'm not a man, just like Xue Qianxun, I really don't understand you men."

These words made Ma Xun shake his head helplessly.

“It has nothing to do with gender.”

"What does that have to do with?"

After such a long period of exercise, even though I rested and consumed energy, the energy consumption was still huge.

Consumption means losing weight. Wang Yunxian looks much better now.

There is a feeling of rejuvenation.

And the question just now sounded even more like a little girl.

Ma Xun became more patient.

"Why do you think Lin Jianyue is pursuing you?"

"why?"

"Because you are famous, you are a great beauty, you are taller than her, and he feels proud to take you out."

"So, he won't get a divorce?"

"He will lose more benefits if he gets divorced. These benefits far outweigh the face you can bring him, or the money you can bring him after marriage."

"Benefits? Money?"

"You played Pan Jinlian, right?"

"Have you seen that movie?"

"I can only say that people in Hong Kong and Taiwan have a very superficial understanding of Jin Ping Mei."

"You, you guys can read that kind of book?"

"Hehe...you think there's only stuff here?"

“I haven’t actually read this book.”

"Then let me tell you, this book is actually about power and money. Every time Ximen Qing married a new wife, it was mainly for money.

And sex is just an extension of power.

Don't be seduced by appearance.

We must see the essence clearly. "

Wang Yunxian never expected that Ma Xun could say such profound words.

She couldn't even fully comprehend it.

But I also think this logic is correct.

This guy Ma Xun is really awesome.

Moreover, Ma Xun only mentioned Lin Jianyue and did not mention Mr. Qin.

In fact, there is no essential difference between Qin and Lin.

Does this represent Ma Xun’s gentleness?
"What about you? Would you like to hang me on the grape trellis for an hour?"

When Wang Yunxian said this, she was very surprised.

This means that something has been opened up for her.

Facing this question, Ma Xun smiled and said, "If you want to play the role of Pan Jinlian, I can play this game with you.

But, the relationship between us is clear.

You help me make money.

I will help you to make a comeback."

At this point, their eyes met.

“But I’ve never filmed a TV series.”

"Didn't you film a Japanese drama?"

“But that was only one episode.”

“But that’s also a TV show.”

"Okay, I can act in a TV show, but this one..."

"I can guarantee that this play will be an unprecedented success and will also be of great significance."

"What's the meaning?"

"Open the era of martial arts on the continent!"

"That's not right. Hasn't the mainland already produced many martial arts movies and TV series?"

"Our drama will really set off a martial arts craze!"

Wang Binxian is talking about career with Ma Xun at this moment.

It was surprisingly smooth and I didn't think about anything else.

Weird!

I haven't felt this relaxed in years.

"Lin Shiyin? Do I look like her?"

"You are taller and stronger than her."

"Ma Xun! So I can beat people up, too."

It’s interesting, the young Wang Binxian seems to be back.

Ma Xun saw her shaking her little fists and couldn't help but find it very funny.

"Somewhere between Nie Xiaoqian and the White Snake."

Is this the feeling of Lin Shiyin's character? ... Wang Xunxian seemed to have his own image in his mind.

That was in the past, but now...

"You need to lose weight."

Ma Xun's words earned him a punch from Wang Yunxian.

"If you say that again! I'll be really angry!"

"I'm just telling the truth."

He controlled the opponent with ease. Ma Xun is no weakling.

Then, with a flick of his hand, his testicles began to tremble.

"you……"

"That's all I have to say. You can find the feeling yourself. Losing weight is a must. To be honest, your thighs are quite thick, although I like them very much."

After saying this, Ma Xun stood up and put on his clothes.

At the same time, a pillow hit me.

"Ma Xun! You are a liar!"

Unfortunately, Wang Yunxian's smashing and scolding couldn't hurt Ma Xun at all.

The guy put on his clothes with a frivolous smile and left.

"Losing weight means starving yourself. Don't think of taking shortcuts. The machine will be turned on in about half a year. I'll call you then. Of course, you can also come to Beijing to find me."

It took half a year to complete the task.

But Wang Binxian, who had just called that guy a liar, now completely believed what Ma Xun said.

In fact, the arrangement six months later was very good because it gave Wang Yunxian ample time to prepare.

Moreover, she has work now, and the movie "Ape Man" will be released at the end of this year or early next year.

She will definitely be busy for a while, as she also has an album to release.

This... I couldn't help but turn on the TV.

Then I heard the news inside.

"Latest news! The 10th Tokyo International Film Festival produced a big surprise! The Chinese film "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" won the Sakura Award..."

Surprisingly, I really won the award.

Wang Binxian opened his mouth slightly. Ma Xun really did it!
……

Ma Xun didn't stay in Japan for long.

After separating from Wang Yunxian, he immediately flew back to China.

As for the reason...if Sister Hong launches a surprise attack.

He might not be able to handle it.

There's nothing he can do about it. Wang Binxian is really big and his waist is really tired.

Otherwise why would I tell her to lose weight?

But Ma Xun returned home so quickly.

After landing, I was still surprised.

"Dark horse! 'That Mountain, That Man, That Dog' won the highest award at the Tokyo Film Festival!"

"Congratulations! 'That Mountain, That Man, That Dog' won the Golden Kylin Award!"

“‘That Mountain, That Man, That Dog’ became famous in Tokyo!”

Our domestic media is really fast!
Many newspapers reported the news of winning the award in Tokyo.

And the key point is that CCTV6 has also made efforts.

Directly gave reports from the front.

In fact, the Tokyo Film Festival is not very large now, and the so-called front-line reporters are all temporarily hired international students.

In other words, we at CCTV6 didn’t think this movie could win an award at first.

Pure dark horse!
But, the good news is that it won the grand prize at the Tokyo Film Festival this time.

It will definitely give our domestic film industry a shot in the arm!

In 1997, the film market in mainland China was still not doing well.

So far, only one movie has performed well at the box office.

"Let's talk it over nicely."

The box office has already reached over 4000 million. However, this is Zhang Yimou's film, and it has an all-star cast.

The production company is the brand new 'New Picture'.

"Speak Well" is the company's first work.

It was also the beginning of the collaboration between Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou, the "two Zhangs".

It just uses the name of Xi'an Film Studio.

But, in Ma Xun's opinion...

New picture = big idiot.

This was not really Ma Xun’s prejudice, but was later recognized by the circle.

Because the company Zhang Weiping set up was just for one person.

Zhang Yimou.

The stupid thing is that Zhang Yimou spent more than ten years in the film-making process.

New Picture has not signed any actors.

In other words, Zhang Yimou has produced so many actresses and actors through his movies.

But it has nothing to do with the new picture.

It was not until "The Flowers of War" that the first actor was signed.

It turned out it wasn’t Nini, but the girl who was rumored to have something tattooed on her ankle.

But, the stupid one is Zhang Weiping, Zhang Yimou is not stupid.

Many of Zhang Yimou's actresses and actors are signed to Zhang Yimou's company.

Later, the "two Zhangs" broke up, and Zhang Weiping hated the national teacher to death.

As a result, all kinds of negative information about Zhang Yimou appeared.

It’s all true!
Ma Xun naturally understood that Zhang Weiping was... a bootlicker-type boss.

The two words "bootlicker" and "boss" seem to have nothing to do with each other.

But 'Er Zhang' is such an example.

In fact, there is more than just this couple in the domestic entertainment industry.

And such a cooperative relationship.

"If You Are the One" seemed to have high box office, but it actually did not make any money.

Zhang Weiping said it himself and he lost a lot of money.

Now, 1997 is coming to an end.

Look back.

"The Soong Dynasty" flopped, so don't even think about it.

"The Thirteenth Son of the South China Sea" performed well, but it is an art film and the box office data is not amazing.

what's next?

"That Mountain Man and That Dog" unexpectedly won the grand prize at the Tokyo Film Festival.

That should be released!

Moreover, this was Ma Xun's original plan.

Especially with the current public opinion campaign.

Many of them were reported by the media on their own initiative, but some were arranged by Ma Xun in advance.

Don't forget that this drama is now a key project for the postal department.

There was good news from the front that I had won an unexpected award.

Publicize! Publicize vigorously!
Ma Xun had expected this move by the post office.

Of course he didn't care.

As for other media, Ma Xun actually focused on Hunan.

The movie was shot here and tells the story of this place.

Xiaoxiang Factory is also here!
Moreover, I have promoted novels here before.

This is our home court, we must seize the moment.

But this CCTV6... Ma Xun received a call from Sun Donghai not long after.

"Brother! I didn't expect it! I actually won the grand prize!"

"Oh, so..."

"There's a bonus, right?"

"Have."

Most film festivals offer prizes, but the Oscars are the only ones that don’t have any.

The prize money for this type of international A-level film festival is around 20 US dollars or euros.

Not too much, but not too little either.

Many of our domestic filmmakers are so keen to go overseas to win awards just to get the prize money.

Moreover, after winning the award, you can also sell the copyright.

To put it bluntly, they don’t care how much their movies sell at the domestic box office.

Those bastards make their films for foreigners and don’t care whether domestic audiences watch them or not!

But our "That Mountain" is different!
Ma Xun was decided long ago, I just want a high box office!
Sun Donghai called, and he just wanted to ask about the bonus?

"Haha...did you say hello to those reports on CCTV-6?"

"Oh my! Haha... I'm doing this for your sake! Everyone in our industry knows that you were the one who insisted on investing in this movie!"

The answer is revealed!

Such a hot public opinion campaign.

Sun Donghai deserves some credit for this.

Ma Xun could only smile helplessly.

After all, Sun Donghai did help him by doing this.

There is a sequel.

"CCTV 6 said that we will wait for the return of our "That Mountain" team and then give them a thorough interview."

This can of course also be seen as propaganda.

Such momentum...

Ma Xun directly told Sun Donghai, "I plan to release this movie in early December."

Strike while the iron is hot!

Sun Donghai certainly expressed his support, but there was one thing he needed to remind him of.

"Brother, have you heard? The two guys who used to do advertising design invested in a movie by Feng Xiaogang, and it will be released in December."

Ma Xun answered directly: "Party A and Party B, right?"

"Fuck! Turns out you knew it a long time ago!" Sun Donghai was surprised.

But if that's the case, there's nothing much to say.

"Let's release the film together. We are not afraid of them!"

Ma Xun smiled and said, "Actually, they are two different kinds of movies, there is no competition between them."

Is there really no competition?
Ma Xun knew that "Party A and Party B" would be released in the last few days of this year.

Our schedules are staggered.

Moreover, the main market of attack is completely different!
Feng's comedy is a northern-style comedy, with its main focus on the Northeast and Beijing.

He had a hard time eating when he came to the south of the Yangtze River.

But our "That Mountain" is obviously going to focus on the Hunan market.

Another one is Magic City.

But to be honest, Ma Xun still feels helpless about this "Party A and Party B".

He really couldn't get involved in this film.

The story behind this movie is so complicated.

Let me briefly talk about the relationship between the Wang brothers and Feng Xiaogang.

Didn't we mention the 'two cards' before?

In fact, the Wang brothers are also bootlickers-type bosses!

Huayi Company has always been flattering Feng Xiaogang.

Ordinary movie fans cannot understand this true relationship.

Ma Xunruo is an ignorant time traveler who goes to Feng Xiaogang in a daze to try to get involved in the film.

100% screwed!

Not to mention other people's films.

The next step for Ma Xun is to make good arrangements for the release of “That Mountain, That Man, That Dog”.

But he had just returned to his own courtyard to rest for two days.

The Taotie door knocker made a sound again.

"Ma Xun!"

Sister Hong came back and jumped directly onto Ma Xun.

Ma Xun quickly caught it.

The two of them have the same posture as Stephen Chow and Cecilia Cheung.

"What are you doing?"

"I ask you, why did you run away first?"

"I'm not running away. I'm just coming back to keep an eye on the release of our movie."

After hearing this, Sister Hong was slightly satisfied.

But, she raised another question!
"Ma Xun, I heard a lot of news in Tokyo. Tell me, how do you ensure that our movie can win a big award?"

Listen to her word, 'make sure'.

Ma Xun laughed and carried Sister Qing into the house. After all, it was still cold outside.

"Everyone else knows how to take down Kinji Fukasaku, right?"

"Yes."

"But I even got his son."

"what?"

Sister Hong's surprised expression makes people want to kiss her lips.

Ma Xun had no choice but to give his answer, "I will collaborate with Kenta Fukasaku on a movie called Battle Royale, and I will acquire the overseas copyright."

"What...what kind of movie is this?"

Of course Sister Hong didn’t understand, but Ma Xun knew it very well.

There is money to be made in "Battle Royale"!

In fact, Ma Xun also gave Kenta Fukasaku some melons.

That is to say, if Kinji Fukasaku wants to change his mind, there will be a huge fight between a loving father and a filial son!
In this way, of course, we can ensure that our film wins the grand prize.

But there is no need to tell Sister Qing about this.

What's more, at this moment, Sister Qing was twisting her waist like a beautiful snake.

"The BB machine is still too cold."

"You're stupid, buy a waterproof one and put it in hot water before using it."

Ma Xun's words made Sister Hong so embarrassed that she punched him in the chest with her little fist...
