Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 101 "I Heard" arrived in Hong Kong, and there was an unexpected gain!

"Who is this Bingbing?"

"The comic book "Wind and Cloud" is about to be adapted into a movie, but the casting has caused huge controversy!"

"After the return, the Hong Kong film industry will have greater development! The exchange of talents between the mainland and Hong Kong will be strengthened..."

"Golden Harvest recently announced the male role for "Storm and Cloud"... and it still caused controversy!"

When Ma Xun finally drove the car back to the capital, both he and Wang Yunxian had lost a lot of weight.

Traveling, especially self-driving tour, is indeed a physical activity.

However, the difference in their states when they separated was quite large.

Wang Binxian looks very energetic.

Ma Xun's eyes were dark.

This is like Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen.

A female ghost meets a scholar.

The female ghost absorbed the yang energy.

The scholar couldn't control himself.

Ma Xun is actually quite good, after all, he is not a scholar.

Fortunately, this guy is a gangster, otherwise he would not be able to subdue this female ghost.

But once I come back.

The news about "Feng Yun" surprised Ma Xun.

what's the situation?
Kong Ci was replaced by Hao Ling?
Bingbing plays Chuchu?
Is Ye Quanzhen playing Yan Ying?
This is quite different from the original.

However, after a simple analysis, Ma Xun understood what was going on.

First of all, a key point was discovered.

Kristy Yang did not participate in this casting!

She played Kong Ci in the original movie.

And now that she is not running for election, it is natural that many candidates will compete for the throne.

Interestingly, the reason why Hao Liang got this role is actually very simple.

"Tai Chi Master" is now aired in Hong Kong!

Moreover, there is news from Japan.

Didn’t Toho buy two movies at once?

They still have to do careful marketing for the film "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog".

However, after a simple marketing in the early stage, "Heard" was launched.

Unexpected fire!

This movie is quite pure love, and the whole story is quite interesting.

In addition, according to reviews from Japanese movie fans.

This film reminded them of an old film by Takeshi Kitano.

"That Summer, the Quiet Sea".

This film, released in 1991, tells the love story of two deaf and mute young people.

This film, first of all, gives people a huge shock.

How could a gangster like Takeshi Kitano make such an artistic movie?
Is it in this river?

However, if you look closely, this is indeed Takeshi Kitano's style.

Tranquility refers to the male and female protagonists. They don’t say a word, but their love is deafening.

Interestingly, there are a lot of jokes in this movie, which are obviously designed by Takeshi Kitano.

If you compare the two movies.

There are really a lot of similarities.

For example, there is a 'motion line'.

"I Heard" is about swimming, and "That Summer" is about surfing.

But there are also obvious differences.

One ends in tragedy, the other in comedy.

On that rainy day, the surfing boy rushed into the sea alone and never came back.

The girl who couldn't speak could only look at the sea alone.

The movie ends here, which makes people feel really sad.

Of course, there are many differences.

In terms of soundtrack, "I Heard" is indeed inferior.

"That Summer" was scored by Joe Hisaishi, and he later won his first major award for the score of this movie.

To be honest, the music in Japan is really amazing. Even a master like Joe Hisaishi had to work hard for many years to win an award.

But even so, the two movies do have a lot of similarities.

When Toho saw this, it immediately grasped the point of this promotion.

Build momentum directly and put these two films up for discussion.

As a result, this "I heard" really became popular.

Of course, this popularity does not mean that it can enter the top ten of the box office list that year.

It only made about 400 to 500 million at the box office.

But this is already a pretty good result.

Afterwards, unsurprisingly, the news spread to Hong Kong and Taiwan.

You know, the entertainment circles in Hong Kong and Taiwan are deeply influenced by the Japanese entertainment industry.

Not to mention the songs, the same is true for movies.

There is a romance film produced in mainland China that has become very popular in Japan.

Sought after!

Must be sought after!

And at this time, everyone discovered...

She is included in the casting of "Feng Yun"!

So, Hao Ming played the heroine Kong Ci.

In fact, he was elected with a high vote!
It can be said that he is far ahead of others.

This situation was quite strange in Ma Xun's eyes.

But in the eyes of others...there's nothing wrong with it!

Hao Ling isn't even a dark horse.

Of course, that’s because they don’t know anything about Yang Gongru.

But I won’t talk about these anymore.

The real dark horse is actually Bingbing!

It can be said that she was elected purely on the basis of her appearance.

However, Ma Xun discovered the details from it.

This also requires cooperation with Ye Quanzhen who plays Yan Ying.

In other words, Long Wu regarded these two people as his side!
Ye Quanzhen has no direct affiliation with Long Wu.

But Long Wu still felt that Ye Quanzhen was still a member of the Zhulian Gang.

And Bingbing is Ye Quanzhen’s younger sister.

Isn't this coming!

After Ma Xun finished analyzing all this, he inexplicably wanted to laugh.

Long Wu is a pretty good guy.

The casting of "Feng Yun" this time is completely an extension of my Ma Xun power.

Our Hong Kong Fifth Brother is very respectful.

Why is there no Kristy Yang?

This is probably what I just said.

But, the most interesting thing is that this guy thought Ye Quanzhen and Bingbing were on his side.

But in fact, Long Wu, ah, Long Wu, you can’t imagine it.

They are all mine!
However, after thinking about it carefully, Ma Xun also felt that Ye Quanzhen's performance as Yan Ying was just average.

Still, Tian Li is more suitable for this role.

But there is no need for Ma Xun to do anything now. After all, this role itself does not have many scenes.

And this is actually an extension of power.

And what is left after the extension of power?

Ma Xun had just finished dealing with his car after returning to Beijing.

After all, the car still had to be sold, so he went to the second-hand market first.

At this time, Sister Hong called.

"Ma Xun, where did you go to play again? Who did you play with again?"

"My dear sister, what you said is true."

"Don't pretend. I don't know you. I'm here to give you good news."

"What's the good news?"

Ma Xun wasn't actually pretending, it's just that some things didn't need to be said.

"Since our Xiao Ming is going to star in the movie "Storm and Clouds" this time, Golden Harvest wants to make a deal with him. They want to introduce the movie "Heard" to Hong Kong."

"No problem, I'll leave this matter to you, Sister Hong."

"No, why don't you try some tricks or something?"

"What kind of tricks are needed? At most, I can add some additional conditions. Sister Hong, I believe you."

"You believe me? You must have a beautiful woman by your side, and you plan to just fool me and then do it to your heart's content, right?"

"What kind of person can I be? I am just enjoying the mountains and rivers. Really, I am very peaceful."

You know what, this is really good news.

The casting of "Feng Yun" also boosted a copyright business.

"I heard" if you go to Hong Kong.

That would definitely make a lot of money!
Isn’t this... an unexpected gain!
Of course Ma Xun knew this very well.

Such is the effect of power.

He has now subdued Long Wu, and this has had so many impacts.

Sure enough, money and power complement each other.

But, for now... Ma Xun will not go back to that courtyard for the time being.

No, it’s too tiring.

Take a day off today.

Fortunately, he has many houses in Beijing, and a cunning rabbit has three burrows. He can just choose an unrented house and rest for a few days.

Ma Xun’s plan is good.

But soon someone called again.

Sun Donghai.

"Brother, something big has happened again!"

Huh? What's the big deal?
……

When Ma Xun arrived at the dinner prepared by Sun Donghai.

He also saw the Bai brothers.

As soon as everyone met, they seemed very cordial.

He asked about Ma Xun's well-being and was mainly concerned about the dark circles under his eyes.

Of course Ma Xun said:

I've been working very hard lately and I'm just too tired.

Naturally, Wang Yunxian would not be mentioned.

In fact, even though I look like this, the long-legged beauty is also meowing under my crotch.

All this nonsense is over, let’s get started quickly.

Ma Xun simply told his good news first.

"We have already achieved great success with Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils! Next, we have the drama Storm Riders. I have already negotiated with them. We will work hard to introduce it to the mainland and that's it!"

"Tian Long" is indeed a success.

The amount of money that Bai Daqing and Yu Xiaosheng are joining forces for this time is indeed huge.

However, manufacturers think that the money is well spent!
High ratings really have a direct impact on sales.

Advertising is really useful these days.

To put it bluntly, counterfeit and shoddy products can sell like hot cakes if they are advertised heavily.

There are many such examples, many of which are from CCTV.

Of course, this cannot be explained in detail.

And now, Ma Xun directly proposed this "Feng Yun".

"Oh! Brother! You, you... Oh, I am really so touched!"

Sun Donghai is pretending to cry right here.

The meaning is very clear.

The dark circles under your eyes must be related to the movie "Feng Yun".

The previous casting incident was reported by many media even in mainland China.

This movie became popular before it was even filmed.

Now it is going to be implemented in our mainland... Ma Xun, you have made a great contribution!

It’s just... your acting is so bad!

I haven't seen any tears for a long time.

However, Ma Xun can only ask Sun Donghai to operate this movie now.

We are still in a cooperative relationship.

Also, Ma Xun still has some connections that he can use.

Also, don’t forget... Ma Xun agreed that some of the profits from the mainland will be sold to Long Wu.

This is a negotiated deal.

So, this benefit... is correct!
I just want you, Sun Donghai, to share the burden.

There's something about this guy Ma Xun... He fools everyone equally.

With such good news, the Bai brothers were not idle either.

"Let's make it even bigger this time. Let's do some advertising before 'Storm and Cloud' is released."

Hey?
This is a bit strange. I was making money before, but why do I have to spend money this time?
Although, there is nothing wrong with doing marketing and advertising before the film is released.

But this costs money...

Bai Daqing was very happy and said, "I will immediately contact the advertisers of various bus stop signs."

So happy?

Bai Xiaohang seemed to understand as well.

"Is this money paid by Jiahe?"

Everyone nodded.

That’s right, of course Golden Harvest should pay for it!
When you calculate it this way, wow.

Ma Xun, Long Wu, and the others present here, are planning to take over Jiahe completely.

Not really, this movie can still make money.

This is all normal business for us.

So, what big thing does Sun Donghai want to talk about?

"Okay! It's my turn now. I heard before that Shi Lu and his Cheng Cheng Culture are planning to launch several big projects! Led by Guan Peng, they plan to make some Hong Kong movies."

This... is indeed a big deal.

Moreover, with their approach...

"Are you also going to bring Hong Kong movies to our mainland?"

Very similar to us...
