Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 211 The real battle begins! Host Dong Qing
5 month.

The peach blossoms on Peach Blossom Island are in bloom.

Originally, there were no peach blossoms on this island.

But it must be there now.

To put it bluntly, it is called artificial cultivation.

To put it nicely, this is called man conquering nature and going against the will of heaven.

Anyway, the blue sea and the rising tide are matched by the peach blossoms all over the island.

really beautiful.

But Ma Xun seemed to be indifferent to the beautiful scenery and was more focused on the people around him.

There's nothing I can do, since the person next to me is the fairy Jinghong.

"Why do you keep looking at me?"

Yu Feihong might have been annoyed by being stared at and couldn't help but say something to him.

Ma Xun smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, so I'll take a closer look."

His somewhat gangster-like answer left Yu Feihong helpless.

But in fact, Fairy Jinghong was not angry at all, but instead had an indescribable feeling.

Well, it's just a feeling.

Of course she wouldn't say such thoughts, and she even tried hard to hide them.

"Have you seen enough? If you've seen enough, tell me what's going on!"

"Okay, I'll tell you right away."

When Ma Xun returned from Hong Kong, he did not choose to return to the capital, but came to Peach Blossom Island.

Of course, he's obviously going to Shanghai next.

These two places are very close.

Don't forget, the next focus is on the stock market, and he will probably have to stay in this financial center for a long time.

As for the luxury house in Hong Kong, let Bianxian and Sister Hong live there now.

Ma Xun also bought a house in Shanghai, so he can't always live in a hotel.

The Peace Hotel is really not cheap.

Back to the present Peach Blossom Island, Ma Xun and Yu Feihong came together, of course, because of the upcoming broadcast of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!
At this time, CCTV is planning to broadcast "Swordsman", as well as "Never Forget Me".

Ma Xun was also very surprised that these two dramas could become rivals.

However, the fact that these two dramas compete with each other is definitely good for Ma Xun!
"Teacher Yu, can I first analyze the current situation we are facing?"

"please."

To be honest, the word "Teacher Yu" made Yu Feihong unhappy, but she couldn't say anything.

Ma Xun definitely did it on purpose, but then he did analyze it.

"First of all, I personally feel that 'Swordsman' might not be able to beat 'Never Forget You'."

As soon as these words came out, Yu Feihong frowned, "Impossible."

This reaction is quite normal.

Ma Xun laughed and said, “What I said may not be correct, but The Smiling, Proud Wanderer is CCTV’s first production of a Jin Yong martial arts novel, so it’s very likely that some aspects of it were not handled well.

And the drama "Never Forget You" cannot be underestimated. Haiyan people are really good. Besides, I heard that the actors in this drama are all very good, especially the male lead, who is super handsome."

"Really?" Yu Feihong was obviously questioning the last three words in Ma Xun's words.

Ma Xun added, "I don't think we saw her when we went to the theater that time."

Mr. Lu is a handsome guy.

Ma Xun admitted that if he compared himself with him in terms of handsomeness, he would still feel very pressured...

It’s better not to worry about these.

In fact, Ma Xun said this mainly because he remembered the situation of CCTV's "Swordsman".

It was really outstanding when it was first broadcast, and it directly won the ratings of 17/18 on CCTV!

This is the statistics from CCTV.com, which is really powerful.

But then it kept falling, and on average it wasn’t that good.

Moreover, the scolding continued.

This CCTV version of "Swordsman" was not brought up until many years later.

The main reason is that the subsequent "Swordsman" was even more ridiculous, it was simply unbearable to watch.

Also, the CCTV version was actually filmed very carefully, with great casting, first-class scenery, and outstanding picture quality.

It is obvious that CCTV has put a lot of effort into filming this Jin Yong drama. It's a pity... the protagonist Yapeng was chosen, and some details were not well-chosen.

On the other hand, "Never Forget You".

Haiyan has always been very stable, and he is really a big shot in the field of TV dramas.

Looking at the casting, Ma Xun only mentioned the handsome Lu, but in fact the heroine of this play is also very outstanding.

Su Jin, she has a special intellectual beauty and maturity.

In fact, she is one year younger than Ma Xun. However, Ma Xun remembers that some pornographic novels in the early years of the Internet, which wrote about mature female characters, generally liked to use the surname Su, and they were actually written based on her.

An actress with a mature temperament.

Yuan Shikong also won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress for this drama.

Don't forget, there's Hao Ling too.

Even though she failed to renew her contract with Ma Xun, he still acknowledged her acting skills.

Therefore, this "Never Forget You" really cannot be underestimated.

Ma Xun remembered that the ratings of the two dramas seemed to be similar.

Although one is the statistics from CCTV.com and the other is the statistics from local stations.

If you want to see the reviews.

"Never Forget You" is much better than CCTV's "Swordsman".

The score of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" on a certain website was later raised by netizens. In the early days, everyone was criticizing this drama.

In this case, there will really be a fierce battle between these two dramas.

Yu Feihong shook her head. "The two dramas are not of the same genre, and the statistics are different. How can they be rivals?"

Ma Xun smiled again, "Not rivals, but rivals nonetheless. Just believe me, once our The Legend of the Condor Heroes airs, someone will definitely put these two dramas together!"

"I don't quite understand what you mean." Yu Feihong looked confused.

Ma Xun had no choice but to continue, "It's very simple. Since 'Swordsman' already has a rival, I can give it a try. Under my management, this 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' will easily beat CCTV's 'Swordsman'."

"Ah?" Yu Feihong still didn't believe it, but she felt that what Ma Xun said made sense.

Because this guy always surprises people.

So……

"Do you have any special tricks?"

"Don't worry."

In Yu Feihong's view, it has come to this critical juncture, and all that can be done is to follow the procedures step by step.

There are only a few routines for drama promotion at present.

It's only been about a month since our show was aired, and CCTV's "Swordsman" will only be aired for about twenty days at most.

What else can I do?
But unexpectedly, the leader from Peach Blossom Island came.

We are all old acquaintances, so there is no need to go through all these polite formalities.

Ma Xun said it directly.

"I have done what I promised you before!"

what?
What did you promise before?
Yu Feihong was still confused, but the leaders on the island were immediately happy.

“That’s great!”

"Just waiting for him to come!"

"With the arrival of Master Jin, our Peach Blossom Island will be a success!"

Master Jin?
He came to this island?
Yu Feihong understood as soon as she heard it.

"You mean, Mr. Jin Yong will come to Peach Blossom Island?"

She asked quietly.

Ma Xun laughed heartily. "He should come! This island has special meaning to him. He must come! Otherwise, Mr. Jin Yong's life will not be complete."

What he said...seems to make some sense.

Of course Yu Feihong understood that this guy Ma Xun must have done something secretly.

Either he gave Master Jin money, or he was persuaded by these words.

But no matter what, if Master Jin could come to Peach Blossom Island in person.

This publicity effect is...awesome!

This is definitely a huge boon to our "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!
As for this Peach Blossom Island... Yu Feihong couldn't help but think of Ma Xun's words.

It’s good for GDP!

Yu Feihong looked at Ma Xun... This guy is indeed a bad guy, but everything he does always has good results.

……

The two opponents mentioned by Ma Xun finally stepped onto the stage.

The showdown between CCTV's "Swordsman" and "Never Forget You" has officially begun!
Of course, I'm afraid that now, apart from him and Yu Feihong, no one would think that these two dramas are rivals.

"Swordsman" was the first to be broadcast.

This drama was indeed highly anticipated by everyone, and it received extremely high ratings as soon as it was aired.

18%! This is the data from CCTV.com, which is really impressive.

Such a high opening is definitely due to the early publicity.

Moreover, it can be clearly seen that Jin Yong is indeed a golden signboard.

At least in this era, Jin Yong's novels are the top IP!

But it was just as Ma Xun expected.

After the CCTV drama "Swordsman" opened high, it immediately plummeted!

The next day, even 10% was not maintained!
It's almost like cutting it in half.

And, open the webpage again...

"Disappointed! Extremely disappointed!"

"It doesn't feel like a martial artist at all!"

"What's Linghu Chong called?"

"Linghu Chong's acting is so bad, this Yapeng is just pretending!"

"Really, his acting is terrible. I feel like everyone else is better than him."

Netizens are going all out.

I have been criticizing CCTV's "Swordsman".

Among them, the one who was scolded the most was Yapeng.

The criticism was so intense that even CCTV didn't dare to say that the response was good.

You know, the Spring Festival Gala is criticized every year, but it is also released every year and everyone is satisfied with it.

CCTV has the confidence to release this, after all, there are now sketch comedy masters such as Uncle Benshan.

But this time... I really don’t dare to speak.

After that, the ratings dropped even lower, reaching 6%.
With such poor results, "Never Forget You" simply gave up.

Start broadcasting early!
You really have a way of doing it.

You know what, this drama is really great.

This drama was broadcast by 8 satellite TV stations.

After the show started airing, the ratings remained stable at around 10%.

This is really no worse than CCTV's "Swordsman".

Although, Ma Xun has analyzed these two plays.

But now, after the two dramas have been aired, he no longer cares.

At this moment, Ma Xun was staying in his newly bought house on Wukang Road.

Staring at the computer and TV all day long.

Of course, the computer watches the stock market.

I watch financial programs on TV.

coming!

"Chengcheng Culture, the latest announcement today: The company's latest production, 'The Emperor of Han Dynasty,' will be released to audiences during the summer. Additionally, the copyright revenue for 'Painting Soul' has been adjusted, with a new overseas buyer for $200 million..."

This is definitely a signal.

The company Chengcheng Culture was originally a small and transparent one in the A-share market.

But now it is directly linked to film and television production, and this is obviously a very effective capital expansion.

In fact, the truth is very simple.

Just think of TV series like "The Emperor of Han Dynasty" as a "company".

That is to say, Chengcheng Culture is a listed company, and now it suddenly has a subsidiary, and this subsidiary is likely to make substantial profits.

Just tell me, is this a good thing?
Should stocks go up?

Moreover, one key principle must be understood.

The price of a stock is not a reflection of the current situation, but an expectation.

The most representative of these is Tesla.

This company has been making losses for more than ten years on the Nasdaq, but its stock price has never stopped rising.

This is because investors have great confidence in the future.

Now, Chengcheng’s company has several more film and television dramas.

Investors, why don’t you buy it?
Then you must buy it!

Ma Xun seemed to have seen a group of leeks growing vigorously.

And those guys from Shili have already prepared their sickles for harvesting!
What should Ma Xun do?
At this moment, Ma Xun was not only watching the news, he was also watching people.

Because this financial news comes from a financial program on Oriental TV.

Host, Dong Qing.

Ma Xun knew what he should do, and now he just needed to wait.

Waiting for Li Jiaxin's information and various daily news that I searched for.

……

Late May.

It's already very hot in Shanghai.

Dong Qing, a well-known host of Oriental TV, has just finished recording a program.

"Sister Dong, here you are again."

"Ah? This..."

"I've put it in your office anyway."

"How annoying!"

Dong Qing may not be that beautiful, but her temperament is good enough.

Her intellectual beauty and bookish air are unforgettable.

Normally, she shouldn't be so impatient.

It seems like you are still angry?
In fact, this story started a few days ago.

I don’t know who it is yet, but there is someone who always sends her flowers.

Sending flowers to famous hosts is not new.

Generally speaking, TV stations have their own procedures for this matter.

But the person who sent the flowers this time was quite impressive.

He always found a way to get the flowers to Dong Qing.

At first, they sent a special person, and later they sent it by express, and packed it in large boxes.

It’s just that!

But today...ah this...

When Dong Qing returned to his office, he was dumbfounded.

The entire office was filled with red roses.

It must be admitted that Dong Qing is a woman, and at this moment, her heart is full of romantic feelings.

No!

We must find this guy!
"Xiao Liu, help me find someone to clean it up."

Although the words were cold, Xiao Liu agreed and went to find someone.

Dong Qing couldn't help but look at the most special bouquet of roses.

This bouquet is the largest and most beautiful.

The key is that there is a letter in the center of the bouquet, open it.

"Wukang Road, Rose Cafe."

This... is this an appointment with myself?

To go or not to go?
Dong Qing didn't want to go, but then she changed her mind...she accepted the letter.

……

evening.

Rose Cafe on Wukang Road.

Dong Qing arrived wearing a pair of big sunglasses.

As a result, she saw a man as soon as she came in and recognized him at once.

Although this one is also wearing sunglasses.

But there was an especially large rose on his desk, the same as the bouquet he had received.

Dong Qing walked over and without sitting down, he said directly: "Sir, what exactly are you planning to do?"

This gentleman was of course Ma Xun. He took off his sunglasses and motioned Dong Qing to sit down.

Then he did something that surprised Dong Qing very much.

Ma Xun took the rose down and threw it into the trash can.

Then he said:

"Ms. Dong Qing, I'm sorry to meet you in this way, but I really have my reasons. Let me clarify this first.

I’m not pursuing you.”

This... the romance was killed before it even began!

Dong Qing was stunned.
