Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 172: A Great Victory! Of course I want one million! (Two in one)

"what?!"

From the luxurious box of Tianshang Renjian came a roar comparable to that of a pig being slaughtered.

"Get out! Everyone, get out! Get out now!"

That Gangzi needs to get out of here quickly.

The Thirteenth Young Master and Boss Qin are here.

They just brought the latest news.

When Shi Li heard what Zhou Zhengyi said, he exploded.

Everything was going well, and the new version of "The Twins" was doing very well.

Even if we take a step back and say that it did not ultimately surpass the ratings of "The Flying Dagger of Xiao Li".

But, this TV series will definitely be a success.

Just wait to collect the money!
I never expected that this would be broadcast so soon.

Zhou Zhengyi was caught committing adultery!

"Or was he caught in the act?"

“That’s a Western restaurant.”

"I know! But that Mao sister just slapped me in the face?"

"Yes."

"Oh my! This, this is damn!"

"The biggest problem now is that we were photographed."

"Ma Xun is here too?"

"From what Cai Yi said, it must be Ma Xun who did it."

"It's pretty solid and dark!"

To be honest, Shi Li still doesn't quite believe it.

How come the situation, which was originally so good, suddenly took a turn for the worse?

Moreover, it is related to that Ma Xun.

Ma Xun, you... Shi Li was gritting his teeth.

But he couldn't help but think that they had also thrown a lot of dirty water on Ma Xun not long ago.

At least what happened at the airport, Ma Xun and He Qing had a normal meeting and were just discussing business.

But you guys spread all kinds of rumors and created a huge gossip.

As for what happened later in the Shunan Bamboo Sea, Ma Xun really killed He Qing.

That was later, right? There is cause and effect.

If you hadn't been gossiping, there would have been no impulsive punishment that night.

Of course, Shili and his gang knew nothing about the Shunan Bamboo Sea.

And now, what happened to Zhou Zhengyi this time... is confirmed!

It's just that he was dating a female celebrity and was discovered by his wife.

In comparison.

One is a rumor, the other is true.

Even though it was Ma Xun who caused this incident, it seemed that he was right.

Shi Li shook his head. He couldn't think like that.

I couldn't help but ask, "Will it not have any bad influence? Or even a good influence? Aren't there many TV dramas that will stir up scandals themselves? This time we don't have to stir up scandals ourselves, will it increase the ratings?"

Upon hearing this, Shisan Shao and Qin Hui couldn't help but exchange glances.

Is this guy Shili mad?

But after all, he is a big shot, so he has to explain.

"This is different from hyping up a scandal. In other dramas, the male and female protagonists hype each other up. This time..."

"This time the heroine was slapped in the face by the investor's wife. This has absolutely no way of having a positive impact."

Yes, the hype itself is fake, just to get headlines.

This time it's completely different.

Yang Gongru was a mistress, and she was caught by the original wife, who slapped her in the face on the spot.

The key is, it doesn’t matter if no one knows.

Now it has been photographed by many paparazzi.

What can we do?
"Have you contacted Boss Zhou?"

“It’s not on.”

"Depend on!"

"It looks like he's arguing with his wife."

"Then what do we do?"

"Now...even if this was done by Ma Xun, the 'evidence' was taken by the paparazzi. We should go find the paparazzi!"

I have to say that Thirteenth Young Master thinks this is the best method.

As long as we can buy the "evidence", that is, the photos, before this scandal is exposed.

Then the matter should be resolved in a small way.

Shi Li nodded and asked again, "Isn't that woman Cai Yinong capable of doing things?"

"She's already been talking to the local paparazzi chief, but it's not going well."

"How much does it cost over there?"

Shi Li immediately asked about money, which showed that he was much more sober now.

Shisan and Qin Hui looked at each other, and it was obvious that it would be difficult to get the money.

"Just say it!" Shi Li has never taken money seriously.

But this time...

"They said it would cost at least 500 million."

"what!"

Why not grab it?
It’s the least!
In fact, when Shi Li was investigated last time, he knew that he had become a key target.

In other words, it is really not as easy for him to make money now as before.

One must be careful at all times.

The good news is that many previous film and television investments have now reached the stage of recovering profits.

Just like this "The Twins".

It's obvious that they want to make money.

But such a thing happened!

He was also threatened by a group of paparazzi.

Fuck!

"Hurry up and contact Boss Zhou. He is the one who caused this incident, so of course he has to settle it himself!"

Shi Lu's meaning was very clear. If it was a few hundred thousand, then it would be no big deal for them to pay for it.

Damn, those paparazzi want 500 million, that’s not going to be easy to pay for.

You, Zhou Zhengyi, are also a big boss, known as the gigolo king in the financial world.

Now is the time to show your strength!
"Telephone……"

"Go find him at his house!"

"Ok."

That's all.

But will it be useful if we go to Zhou Zhengyi's house?
Not long after, bad news spread on the Internet.

"Pay attention to the gossip news tomorrow, a big scandal about a popular female star is about to be revealed!"

Wow, there’s even an advance notice.

……

The next day.

Ma Xun felt like he was having a dream from a primitive era.

He dreamed of a phoenix, but it was blue.

The red one seems to be fire, and the blue one is ice.

Then I dreamed that the blue phoenix was fighting with a giant snake.

It’s so amazing, that big snake can transform and enter the second form.

Python.

This fight is about chaos and darkness.

Until Ma Xun woke up.

Looking at Bingbing in his arms, her silver headdress had fallen on the sofa.

Somewhat messy.

But of course there is no need to care about the headdress at this time.

As soon as he saw that, Ma Xun couldn't help but laugh.

After all, it is made of silver, and it will make noise when it moves.

So, the sense of rhythm comes out.

Plus her blue phoenix outfit...it's rare.

And now... Ma Xun simply reached out and pinched it.

"Ah~ Brother Ma, you're awake... You're so bad."

It must be said that Bingbing is still a little plump now, not as thin as she was later.

The feel is indeed good.

"Eat something."

"Okay."

Just a quick bite and then some chatting.

Before, Bingbing only talked about her own things.

That is, after Ye Quanzhen made the call, he was tripped up by some things.

So, Bingbing came first.

As for her disguise as Blue Phoenix...

"Does it look good?"

"nice."

"Like it?"

"Of course I do."

Isn't that good?

Of course, this outfit is not the one in "Swordsman". That is a proper stage costume and Bingbing doesn't have the ability to pull it off.

She thought it looked great, so she ordered one for herself.

Apart from the silver headdress, everything else is actually not expensive.

All in all, this is a surprise for Ma Ge.

And now...

"Sir, the newspaper you requested..."

"Leave it at the door."

The hotel waiter came.

newspaper?

Bingbing's big eyes were full of curiosity.

Ma Xun had no choice but to get up, put on his pajamas and go get the newspaper.

"I specifically asked them to buy it."

The newspaper was taken back, and this action warmed Bingbing's heart.

If Ma Ge insisted that she go get the newspaper, she would have no choice but to do it.

But in this way, Bingbing would easily expose herself.

It was very considerate of Ma Xun to go and get it himself.

But what about this newspaper?

"What kind of newspaper? Do you have to buy it specially?"

"See for yourself..."

Ma Xun was very generous and gave it away with a smile.

Bingbing took a look and was surprised to see that it was full of gossip tabloids.

Well, some of them are quite famous newspapers.

Although print media are having a hard time these days, some gossip tabloids are doing very well.

What Bingbing is more concerned about now is the headlines.

The photo of Kristy Yang, Alex Chow, and another woman was enlarged and took up almost an entire page!
"They, this... wow, were they really beaten?"

Apparently, Bingbing just found out now.

"Of course, Sister Mao is really amazing. She starts with zero frames and starts fighting as soon as she says she will."

Ma Xun's zero-frame start made Bingbing feel very fresh.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It’s a pity that we are still young and there is no smoke without fire.

Bingbing naturally reads more of the gossip news.

But he soon looked at Ma Xun again.

"Brother Ma, is this something you did?"

Ma Xun shrugged, "Isn't it possible?"

Bingbing laughed again, this time covering her mouth, "So... oh, is this for the movie Double Tap?"

Ma Xun nodded, "Why? Are you surprised?"

He could see that what was written on Bingbing's face was: I didn't expect you to be this kind of Ma Xun.

But Bingbing asked this way, "But before that, weren't you still teaching me the tricks of business warfare?"

Yes, it’s the gold mine that Ma Xun told Bingbing about last time, and the story of “The Book of the Sword of Exorcism”.

It is indeed a bit bold to make the "Bixie Sword Manual" public to the whole world.

Bingbing just feels that what you said before all sound like very powerful moves.

But now he actually uses this method of exposing gossip...

The gap is quite big.

Ma Xun naturally saw through Bingbing, and it had nothing to do with whether she was wearing clothes or not.

"Do you think that what I'm doing is not advanced enough?"

This statement was particularly good and it immediately touched Bingbing's heart.

But Bingbing shook her head hard, "Brother Ma, no matter what you do, I will support you."

Ma Xun also smiled and said, "I believe you, but my actions in this matter are actually nothing."

"Tell me about it." Bingbing was like a young swallow flying into the forest, and she fell into Ma Xun's arms.

Ma Xun stroked Bingbing's creamy skin and said, "Do you know the art of war?"

"Ah? The art of war?" Bingbing could never have expected that this was just exposing the other party's gossip, how could it be related to the art of war?
“As the Art of War says: Use the unexpected to win, and the normal to win.

What this means is that there must be both positive and negative.

"Positive" means naturally the normal deployment of troops.

In our entertainment circle, it is all about polishing our works, making sure our own film and television dramas are of high quality and have a good reputation, and are loved by the audience.

And 'strange', of course, refers to strange and unusual moves.

In our entertainment industry... this kind of gossip and scandals are just common practices.

There are many more methods, you are still a newcomer and you have seen less."

It turns out that this is the principle of 'winning by using the unexpected and combining the right with the right'!
Bingbing was very happy after hearing this and felt that she had learned something new.

"They also threw dirty water on you, Brother Ma, before."

Ma Xun nodded, "Of course! So, I have even more reason to do this!

I can't just allow my opponents to hack me while I, Ma Xun, suffer in silence.

Whatever you did to me, I will pay you back tenfold!"

At this moment, it was somewhat like Hanzawa Naoki.

To put it another way, they throw dirty water on me and I expose their negative materials, which is fair.

Bingbing smiled even more charmingly, "Brother Ma is so awesome."

This time, Ma Xun shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm good, it's just that my opponents all have shortcomings.

Just like Zhou Zhengyi, he obviously made his fortune thanks to his wife.

But after becoming rich, he became dishonest and spent all his time outside having fun.

Just play it, and look affectionate.

I guess this guy thinks he is Duan Zhengchun."

As soon as Ma Xun came up with this metaphor, Bingbing laughed so hard that her whole body shook with laughter.

Duan Zhengchun is truly a well-known figure.

"Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" was popular before, and Bingbing had watched it several times.

After the battle on Mount Shaoshi, Xu Zhu met Ye Erniang and told her about his tragic past.

Who is Xu Zhu's father?

At this moment, many people are actually suspecting Duan Zhengchun!

The second in command of the Dali Duan family also began to doubt himself.

At that time, I was wondering whether I had forgotten this mother and son who were living outside.

The most interesting thing is, if this Duan Zhengchun really goes out and speaks out.

Xu Zhu is his son.

I'm afraid that even if Abbot Xuanci admitted it himself, all the heroes in the world would think that this old abbot should be merciful.

Xu Zhu’s biological father must be Duan Zhengchun!
This is what is called word of mouth.

When Bingbing thought of this, she couldn't stop laughing. Ma Xun asked her why, and she told him her thoughts.

As a result, Ma Xun was also infected and started laughing.

In fact, saying that Zhou Zhengyi is Duan Zhengchun is a bit insulting to Prince Duan.

Duan Zhengchun is popular with women, and that is indeed due to his strengths.

At least this guy did a pretty good job in chivalry.

There are so many heroes on Mount Shaoshi, but he still resolutely supports Xiao Feng and his son. This determination highlights the word "righteousness"!

Zhou Zhengyi could never do this. He was just a bastard who made his fortune by relying on his wife but despised her.

Wait a minute, how about I, Ma Xun, also learn from Duan Zhengchun?
What are you thinking!

This guy can't give birth to a son.

Ma Xun and Bing Bing were laughing...

They looked at each other and seemed to think about it.

"Oh yeah, Zhou Zhengyi really shouldn't have done that. If he already has a wife, he shouldn't have been unfaithful."

Although Bingbing was furious, her reason told her that she really couldn't withstand Ma Ge's offensive.

Ma Xun knew that Bingbing was still a delicate flower and could not bear being destroyed so frequently.

"So, he deserves it."

Does this mean that... Ma Xun doesn't have any concerns in this regard because he doesn't have a wife.

Bingbing was just about to talk about something else when Ma Xun's cell phone rang.

Ma Xun stood up, looked at the number, and immediately hung up.

"who?"

"That Cai Yimeng."

"she……"

"Don't worry, let her feel uncomfortable."

Ma Xun’s skill is really something.

……

Holding the beeping phone.

Cai Yi's face was so distorted with anger.

She mustered up her courage to make this call.

There is nothing we can do this time, Zhou Zhengyi’s incident has already been exposed.

That is a situation where it is difficult to recover.

Those paparazzi are too much. They actually asked for at least 500 million!
This is 500 million, enough to buy many houses in Shanghai!
The most important thing is that Cai Yinong doesn’t have that much money on hand now.

Besides, you, the boss Zhou Zhengyi, have to handle the problems yourself!

As a result, the bastard never showed up.

Since he didn't answer the phone, Cai Yinong decided to go to his house.

The result... was a fierce quarrel.

Forget it. There’s nothing Cai Yin can do about this situation.

In this case, Cai Yimu had no choice.

Money can't solve hard problems.

Even if I risked my life, I would help Zhou Zhengyi pay for it first, regardless of whether this bastard could pay me back later.

But now I really have no money. The show has just started and there are places to spend money everywhere.

We have to organize some activities, let the actors meet the audience, and so on.

It's all money.

Cai Yinen really had no choice but to watch the news of Sister Mao slapping her mistress make the entertainment headlines.

While calling Ma Xun, Cai Yi was thinking... just give in.

Let’s talk it over and let this matter be over.

But this guy Ma Xun didn’t answer the phone!

Mad!
In this way, Cai Yining now has only one way out.

Pray to Mazu.

I hope Cai Yinong can be blessed and her performance of “The Twins” won’t be affected by that slap.

How is the result?

That night, "The Twins" arrived as scheduled.

Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque appeared again on the Oriental TV Station.

Cai Yinong simply rushed to the TV station!

But this time the ratings...

"Boss Cai, we are still just our own data now."

"okay, I get it."

When Cai Yinong got the ratings report, he was stunned.

It dropped 5 points directly!

I originally thought that this drama could break 40%.

Given the current situation, there is definitely no chance.

But, this is just the beginning.

Next, three days in a row.

The ratings of "The Twins" have been steadily declining every day.

Although, the TV station still said.

This is just their own data.

In other words, this data cannot be used as the final true ratings.

But for Cai Yinong... he lost!
Total loss!
At this time, Cai Yinong's phone rang.

It turned out to be Ma Xun!
"Hey."

"Come out and meet me."

……

It’s still the Bund.

But this time I won’t go for French food.

They just found a coffee shop, and Ma Xun and Cai Yi picked a seat inside.

After the two met, they did nothing but order.

Basically no talking.

When the coffee came, Cai Yiming ordered an American coffee. She just stared at the coffee, as if she wanted to put her eyes in it.

Ma Xun ordered an Italian espresso, double shot.

The coffee they both ordered actually had the same characteristics.

bitter.

Iced American coffee is just like the water used to wash the pot, and Ma Xun's is even more bitter.

However, Italians really like to drink this kind of espresso, especially double espresso.

You don’t even add water, you just drink the essence of the beans squeezed out of the machine.

So... this can be considered a win?
"Are you not going to speak yet?" Ma Xun spoke first.

Cai Yinong raised his head, and the expression on his face was indeed not as strong as before, but he still said stubbornly: "Well, I did go too far in the previous incident. The situation this time is..."

It's just the same old stuff being said over and over again.

Ma Xun looked at her with disdain, "Can you be more straightforward?"

Cai Yi was getting angry again. She was a grown-up girl and had never suffered such a big loss before.

"Mr. Ma, let me be frank. I lost this time. I admit it! Now, can we make a deal? In other words, can we just let the one million bet go?"

what?
Ma Xun gave a 'you're confused' expression on his face.

He didn't say anything, and Cai Yinong immediately continued.

"I'm really sorry! I'm so sorry! In view of my sincere apology, can you please give me the money..."

Ma Xun interrupted her at this moment and said, "Forget it?"

Cai Yin nodded repeatedly, like a little rabbit eating a carrot.

"Forget it. I was a little rash in making this bet before, and I'm really short of money lately."

Cai Yinong's performance at this moment made Ma Xun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Cai Yinnian inexplicably felt hopeful.

"So, Mr. Ma, do you agree?"

There is nothing we can do about it actually. The current situation of "The Twins" cannot be said to be an overall failure.

But it is far from expected.

If it is replayed in the future, the money earned will definitely be less.

And the bet with Ma Xun...that's one million!

Nowadays, one million yuan can hire two stars to play the leading roles in mainland China.

The bet was made in the first place for the adaptation rights in his hands.

Cai Yinong just thought: I have already apologized to you, so let’s forget about our bet, isn’t that what I should do.

Anyway, if Cai Yinong had apologized so sincerely in the past, most men would have just let it go.

She has been successful every time.

Unfortunately, this time she met Ma Xun.

"Ms. Cai, I used to think you were very capable and a big shot. But now... hehe..."

Ma Xun's laughter was very sarcastic.

"You, what do you mean?" Cai Yinmiao naturally noticed the change in the other party's attitude.

She has a little princess syndrome, but she is not an idiot.

Ma Xun continued with a smile: "Where is the energy you had when you first made the bet with me? What happened? Did you lose your fighting spirit? It's just a failure, it shouldn't be that serious."

It's weird and hurtful.

Cai Yi was so angry, "Ma Xun, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you won! I am discussing this with you now, and I am being polite. Besides, what if I don't give it to you? Anyway, we just made a verbal bet! If I don't give it to you, what can you do to me?"

This young lady is almost going crazy.

Ma Xun drank up the extremely bitter espresso in one gulp and said with a smile: "One million, not a penny less! If you don't give it to me, I will let all the bosses in the film and television industry know that you, Cai Yinong, are a female liar who doesn't keep her word!"

Too bad!
Cai Yinong was pushed to the extreme, "You, you..."

After Ma Xun finished speaking, he stood up and left, but only said a few words to her before leaving.

"Ms. Cai, I completely understand what you mean. You just want me to be flexible and not kill you.

But have you ever thought about what would happen if it was me, Ma Xun, who was knocked down by the dirty water you threw at me today?

Will you sympathize with me?
Let me remind you that you are competing in the business world, a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones, not your backyard.

I will keep what happened in the cafe today a secret for you. Otherwise, if it gets out, people will think you are an idiot!
Finally, don’t waste your time on the one million, otherwise, hehe…”

After Ma Xun finished speaking, he left directly, decisively as if he had made up his mind.

Cai Yi was stunned on the spot. Only then did she realize how stupid she was.

One million...Ma Xun, just wait for me!

……

Ma Xun was in a very happy mood.

This time it can be said to be a great victory!

Cai Yinong, this overconfident rich second-generation lady, you have picked the wrong person.

And wait for Ma Xun to return to his room at the Peace Hotel.

"Your Majesty~"

Ye Quanzhen came, and together with Bingbing, they paid their respects to him.

Are there any games like Ziwei Jinsuo...?

“You guys really know how to have fun.”
