Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 9: When a whale falls, everything comes to life. A Chinese Odyssey!
"What should I say when I get back?"

"Tell him we are sincere."

"Can he believe it?"

"We still don't believe him! But that's how business works, risks are inevitable. The current situation is that we have connections that he doesn't have, and he has movies that we don't have."

"I told him that?"

"You can even say that I, Ma Xun, know his true current situation."

"what?"

"Haha... Hong Kong's local market is too small, and the road to Taiwan Province is already blocked, and Southeast Asia has long been blocked. Not to mention Long Wu, even Hong Kong movies, where can they go?
The only way out for them is to go north.

He was lucky to meet me and Sun Donghai.

If you are unlucky, the person you meet is Bai Xiaohang.

It means getting slapped in the face and doing business on your knees.

It’s better to be friendly with us and make money.

I believe Hong Kong Brother Wu is a smart man. "

……

The heavy rain stopped for a while.

Ma Xuncai got out of the red car.

Ye Quanzhen drove back to the Overseas Chinese Hotel.

Ma Xun used to walk.

In this way, even the paparazzi won't be able to find any clues.

Ma Xunde returned to the Overseas Chinese Hotel.

He still has to continue to play the role of the photographer who is from Hong Kong and studied in the United States.

But, an accident happened.

As soon as you step into the lobby, the front desk greets you.

"Mr. Ma, Mr. Feng left a letter for you."

"Oh."

Ma Xun took it and knew without even reading it that this letter was special.

Very thick.

You can roughly feel it out without opening it, it might be ten thousand yuan.

Understood.

Wages.

"Mr. Feng said that the room is..."

The receptionist didn't need to finish his words, Ma Xun smiled and said, "I understand."

Just take the envelope and leave.

I guess the real photographer is coming.

It would be a bit troublesome for us to meet each other.

I have money in my pocket now.

There’s nothing in the capital that can’t be used for a night!

……

Silent all night.

Ma Xun did not treat himself badly.

He found a pretty nice hotel and had a good sleep.

As for Ye Quanzhen's loyalty to himself.

He wasn't worried at all.

The woman didn't ask anything later, which means that Ma Xun didn't reveal any details.

What are you worried about?
And it would be best if Long Wu heard all those words.

You don't know my background, but I know yours!
I, Ma Xun, am in the dark, and you, Long Wu, are in the light.

The advantage is mine.

The mood will naturally be very good.

By the way, one more thing.

In the envelope that Feng Baiyuan gave him.

Not only was there ten thousand dollars, but there was also a simple letter.

In the letter, Director Feng was quite ashamed.

What Director Feng wants to express is that he has no other choice.

After all, you are an imposter.

For fear of more trouble, let's end our cooperation here.

Naturally, the issue of "identity" is also mentioned.

Feng Baiyuan swore in the letter that he was absolutely sure of it.

You are a photographer from Hong Kong, very professional, and you are a returned student studying in the United States.

Just a temporary favor.

Anyway, it’s with Director Feng.

This is who you are.

In this regard, Ma Xun trusts Director Feng.

If he doesn't keep his mouth shut, he will be in big trouble.

I guess I will have nothing to do with Director Feng anymore.

Even if this guy saw me, he would probably walk around me.

That's fine too.

Ma Xun thought back to his experiences of the past two days.

Got more than 200,000.

There was also a beautiful lady throwing herself into his arms.

Afterwards, the Haidian God of War was scared away.

Fool Ye Quanzhen.

What a great word for "shuang"!
But this is just the beginning, what comes next is the key.

We have to face Long Wu directly...

Before that, Ma Xunde bought some equipment.

Nowadays, if you travel far and wide, there are certain things you must have.

Mobile phones and pagers.

It would probably be difficult for people who have not experienced this era to understand.

Why do you need a pager when you have a mobile phone?
Of course it’s not because he is kind.

Because he is expensive!
Mobile phone, you have to move to make calls.

The money in my pocket also moved.

Ma Xun first applied for a card, and then bought a mobile phone and a pager.

Mobile phones today are not as big as they used to be, but they are still heavy.

After everything was ready, I went to Yuetan Park to find Sun Donghai.

Made an appointment with this guy.

……

"Brother, I've been thinking about it all night and still can't figure out how we can make money."

"If you can figure it out, why do you need me?"

"Brother, just tell me. I'm so anxious that my mouth is covered with bubbles."

"It's not time yet. If I tell you in advance, I'm afraid you'll miss it."

"I'm very tight-lipped!"

"Pull him down!"

Sun Donghai asked while driving.

He just couldn't help it.

Yesterday we didn't talk much, Ma Xun just talked about doing the copyright business of Hong Kong films, but he didn't say how to do this business in detail.

Sun Donghai didn't sleep all night, thinking about this matter in his mind.

But now, Ma Xun still keeps his mouth shut.

I just won’t tell you, what can you do to me?

This Sun Donghai looks ordinary, like an NPC.

But this guy is definitely not stupid.

He later had a net worth of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions, and he was quite knowledgeable in the real estate, film and television and other industries.

If I tell him now, I won't be able to play.

We can't do such stupid things as teaching the apprentice but starving the master to death.

Moreover, Ma Xun has to make good use of Sun Donghai.

I haven't forgotten what I said in the bathroom.

This Sun Donghai has connections in CCTV.

That’s right, Ma Xun was planning to take advantage of his relationship!

Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the nightclub.

Ma Xun was in no hurry to get off the car.

"Anything to say?" Sun Donghai was very excited. The doubts in his heart were finally going to be answered?

Ma Xun smiled and said, "Have you ever heard a saying?"

"what?"

“When a whale falls, all things come to life.”

"what?"

Looking at Sun Donghai's clear eyes, Ma Xun confirmed his confused state.

“When whales die in the ocean, they fall into the sea, which is called whale fall.

During the whale fall process, countless marine creatures will come to eat its body, and then countless marine creatures will be born.”

After hearing this, Sun Donghai gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother, I can tell that what you said is very impressive, but I really don't understand it."

Ma Xun knew that this guy was like this.

"Over the past 20 years, Hong Kong films have experienced a golden age. Even its martial arts action films are unrivalled in the world, even Hollywood can't compare.

Now that the golden age is over, Hong Kong cinema is like a dead whale..."

Before he finished speaking, Sun Donghai slapped his thigh.

"Brother! I understand! The whale has fallen, let's see who can eat this big piece of fat meat!"

Ma Xun nodded.

Sun Donghai continued: "So, we are the turtles in the sea."

Ma Xun couldn't hold it in, "Do you have any culture at all? The ones in the sea are called sea turtles!"

Bah! We are not turtles either!
"Haha... just a joke."

This stuff is simply amazing!

However, the meaning was conveyed.

Ma Xun mentioned the business of dealing in Hong Kong film copyrights.

We just need to catch this "whale fall".

It’s just that how to discuss this deal specifically...let’s talk about it after we go inside!
Unexpectedly, Sun Donghai asked before entering, "Where's the capital?"

Ma Xun laughed, "We are in the cultural business, why talk about money?
Vulgar! "

Fortunately, Sister Qing is not here, otherwise, who knows what her expression would be.

Sun Donghai started to wonder after hearing this... Can my brother do business without any money?

……

Led by the waiter, the two of them soon arrived at the manager's office of the nightclub.

Fifth brother is here, and so are Ye Quanzhen and his wife.

"It is a great honor for us to have you two here."

Can talk.

We just met yesterday, but today we are as familiar as old friends who have known each other for more than ten years.

After some greetings, the host and the guests took their seats.

Ma Xun and Ye Quanzhen shook hands gently.

I have a feeling that it seems that she conveyed the message.

As for Ye Quanzhen, Ma Xun now wants her to lie low.

It will be activated when the war comes.

"Thank you so much for yesterday..."

This is where the business begins.

At the beginning, we talked about all kinds of random things.

But his wife was anxious and coughed twice.

The fifth brother knew that it was time to get down to business.

"You two, the copyright issue we talked about yesterday..."

Just a start is enough.

Ma Xun continued, "Actually, we are planning to purchase the copyrights of some Hong Kong films and then broadcast them on mainland TV stations..."

He said it very simply and his tone was very calm.

But both Long Wu and Sun Donghai were shocked.

Because there was no such business before!
Ma Xun wants to "catch the whale's fall". His plan is to obtain the Hong Kong film copyright and then broadcast it on our mainland TV station.

Not going to theaters!
It is not new for TV stations to broadcast movies.

But, in the past, they were all old movies, very old.

Such as "The Great Escape" and "Tunnel Warfare".

Now we are working on a 'new' film!

It is a movie that was released in Hong Kong in the last one or two years.

Don't doubt it, this is definitely a fresh deal.

Ma Xun is so sure, and it may be related to our movie channel.

This was later known as the 'Six Princesses' movie channel.

It was tested only last year and officially launched on the 1st of this year.

In other words, no one has ever done this before!

Sun Donghai and Long Wu are both businessmen, and they saw the "money prospects" of this business almost instantly.

One of them has a relationship, and the other has a movie.

The two of them could hardly suppress the smiles on their faces.

Ma Xun naturally noticed this change, and he felt even more proud.

Having said that, the question arises.

"You two, which movie do you plan to have, or how many movies do you plan to have?"

Naturally, Long Wu had to ask this question.

"Boss, this is a brand new model that has never been done before, so we must try it out at the beginning. Bring a film over to have a look first."

There was nothing wrong with the horse that was found, and then.

"How about "A Chinese Odyssey"?"

When the title of this film came out, Sun Donghai didn't feel anything.

But Long Wu and his wife's expressions changed immediately.

Ye Quanzhen on the side also frowned.

Why did you mention this movie?

　Thanks to Flying Dante, Songjiang Beiliu, and the reward. Thanks to everyone for the monthly tickets. Thank you very much.

　　Thank you all for your collection, reading and comments. Thank you very much.

　　Don't worry, the next chapter will be here soon.
