Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 216 The Legend of the Condor Heroes begins! Jingwen plays the song "The Rising Tide of the Blue Sea"!
"Brother Ma, how can I leave CCTV if you say that? Haha..."

After spitting out a mouthful of tea, Zhang Da Huzi directly denied leaving CCTV.

He even laughed out loud, as if nothing had happened.

Ma Xun knew, however, that the bearded man had definitely made up his mind to leave CCTV.

And what Ma Xun said just now was actually a test for him.

However, it is not to test whether Zhang Da Huzi wants to leave CCTV.

But his future direction.

If Ma Xun mentioned this matter, Zhang Da Huzi would react with an attitude of a strange man from the world who had met a wise leader.

That means this guy is planning to join Ma Xun.

But now, Zhang Da Huzi directly denied it, which means that he must have defected to someone else.

Since this is the case, Ma Xun has to make full use of the surplus value of this big bearded man at CCTV.

So, Ma Xun started talking to him about "Swordsman".

"It's good that you're not leaving. I'm actually worried that the show 'Swordsman' is being criticized so harshly that it's chilling for Teacher Zhang. If you get angry and resign, that would be a loss for CCTV."

Listen to this...Ma Xun knows how to praise people.

Sure enough, Zhang Da Huzi's face was all smiles. "Brother, you don't know why these people who do things really make more mistakes the more they do, and they will be scolded for making mistakes. I work at CCTV, even if I don't have any credit, I have worked hard, but this time on "Swordsman"... Oh~"

Almost got drunk!
That’s right, Zhang Da Huzi was about to tell all about the conflicts between himself and the CCTV leaders.

Ma Xun's praise is really effective.

"Really? Oh my gosh... Teacher Zhang, there are actually many things about our production of 'Swordsman' that are worth noting."

Continue to inject the medicine.

"That's right." Zhang Da Huzi echoed.

Ma Xun continued, "The Sichuan Opera face-changing is very creative. Moreover, the king of pop Liu Dehua also became its apprentice. This news is extremely popular."

"That's right! We invited the master Mr. Peng Denghuai. His level is self-evident. The key is that he can also promote local opera art. Moreover, he has published important academic articles."

“So, we are very attentive.”

"Brother, what you said really hits the nail on the head. At least in terms of production, I have done my best for the people and my superiors. I have a clear conscience!"

Zhang Da Huzi opened his heart and told everyone what he could and couldn't say.

Ma Xun was delighted when he heard this.

However, the fact that this version of "Swordsman" included Sichuan Opera face-changing has indeed received mixed reviews.

Some people find it novel, while others think it is not good because it is not in the original book.

But this is definitely an innovation, and it is not a random innovation.

Looking at the operation of this entire incident, it is also worthy of praise.

It was during the CCTV Spring Festival Gala that Master Peng became famous. Andy Lau was very happy to see him and wanted to become his disciple.

Then the filming of "Swordsman" started, and they invited Master Peng to play the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, and then Andy Lau formally became his disciple.

The linkage of this entire set of news was actually very successful.

It has attracted considerable attention and become a social hot topic.

Master Peng also recently published an academic paper combining the Sichuan Opera face-changing art with "Swordsman".

In fact, this is a microcosm of CCTV's "Swordsman".

Now everyone is really cursing.

But the production of this play really took a lot of effort.

It really didn't fool the audience.

It’s like a banquet, the chef is a good chef, the ingredients are good ingredients, and even the restaurant is top-notch.

But when the diners came and tasted it...it didn’t taste right!

Anyway, "Swordsman" just doesn't satisfy the audience.

Zhang Da Huzi was originally a capable official at CCTV. His previous dramas were all great successes. But now he ends up being criticized by his boss every day.

He is definitely going to leave CCTV.

And Ma Xun certainly didn't want to talk about "Swordsman" with Zhang Da Huzi.

Then, he said, "Teacher Zhang, I'm still haunted by your experience. When I think about the upcoming broadcast of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes', I feel incredibly stressed."

Ma Xun always uses the term "we", which is actually very effective. It makes Zhang Da Huzi subconsciously feel that: we are in the same group.

Plus, we talked so much about it before, now...

"Indeed, I understand your pressure. Okay, if you need my help, just tell me!"

Hooked.

Ma Xun frowned and said, "I just hope that Mr. Zhang and the leaders of CCTV can understand that our "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" are not competitors. They are both adapted from Jin Yong's novels, so they can be said to be of the same origin, so..."

As soon as he said this, Zhang Da Huzi immediately understood.

"I understand! When your drama 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' is aired, I'll definitely say something nice about it."

This guy is very sensible. Ma Xun really meant this.

Their "Swordsman" was criticized too harshly, and if Ma Xun's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was broadcast, its ratings and reputation would surpass "Swordsman".

What does CCTV think?
Now that Zhang Da Huzi has brought it up, he has to say something good about it.

But, ordinary nice words won’t do.

Ma Xun then said, "Teacher Zhang, you must have seen the news about Mr. Jin Yong visiting Peach Blossom Island."

"I see, this..."

"I have asked Mr. Jin Yong about the play "Swordsman". He thinks that you guys did a good job, Mr. Zhang. However, Jin Yong's evaluation is not yet understood by the general audience."

Zhang Da Huzi immediately understood what Ma Xun meant.

He laughed and said, "Great! This is great! You are worthy of being Mr. Jin Yong and Brother Ma.

Is this okay? I'll go back and talk to my boss about this.

The two plays, "Swordsman" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", clearly inherit the martial arts culture, and everyone is clearly a close brotherly relationship.

There is no competition! The Legend of the Condor Heroes is popular because martial arts is popular!
CCTV should also do its best to promote the spread of martial arts culture!"

Ma Xun also laughed after hearing this, "If Teacher Zhang could do this, I would be very touched.

Please rest assured that Mr. Jin Yong’s words will soon be known to the general public.”

Having said this, the two of them laughed together.

In fact, they just made a pretty good deal.

In simple terms.

CCTV's "Swordsman" has a very bad reputation now and has been criticized so harshly.

But if Mr. Jin Yong could say a few good words about this play, the pressure on Zhang Dabei would be much less, and it would also be beneficial for him to find better sponsors in the future.

Meanwhile, Ma Xun's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is about to be aired, and this drama is likely to surpass "Swordsman", which was criticized too harshly. However, such a situation is likely to result in embarrassing results for CCTV.

So, you, Zhang Da Huzi, just talk to the leaders and ask them to say some good things about us. The key is that we should not compete with each other or anything.

As for the competition...blame it on Never Let Me Go.

The targets for shifting the blame have already been selected.

And the deal is... exchanging 'good reviews'?
Or is it called 'commercial mutual praise'?
No matter what it is called, this detail is quite crucial.

At least, Ma Xun didn't want to offend CCTV because of this play.

He formed an alliance with Minister Ouyang and they were called brothers.

But he still wants to continue cooperating with CCTV.

Don't make your path narrower and narrower.

However, this "operation" is very inconspicuous and most people probably won't notice it.

But the effect is definitely just right!
……

"Mr. Jin Yong: I am still very satisfied with CCTV's "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer."

"...Many of the characters are very carefully drawn. The Six Immortals of Taogu and Dongfang Bubai look like they walked out of a book."

Not long after, Jin Yong's "film review" came.

It first hit Hong Kong media, then entered the mainland, and soon became popular on the Internet.

When netizens saw it, they thought...the master’s point of view was very good!
"Indeed, the Six Immortals of Taogu are quite good."

"Even the Sichuan Opera face-changing that everyone criticizes, I still find it quite novel."

"Actually, because of this face-changing, I really want to travel to Sichuan and Shu."

The effect is here.

The reputation of "Swordsman" has seen a slight turnaround.

At least some of Zhang Da Huzi’s casting choices are pretty good.

Then, CCTV also took action. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes is about to be broadcast, and there will be a series of good martial arts dramas!"

"Let's unravel the filming process of the new 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'..."

"The leading actors of the new version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes will meet the audience in advance on CCTV Channel 6..."

Wow, this actually helped with publicity.

Many netizens said that it is worthy of being CCTV, it really has a vision!

As for the interview with Channel 6...

"Brother, CCTV's attitude towards us must have something to do with you."

"Brother Ouyang, I just had a chat with Teacher Zhang..."

Director Ouyang even called, and Ma Xun told him what happened.

There was laughter on the other end of the phone.

Obviously, the six sets were from Director Ouyang who was contacted by Han Sanping.

Let's do a show, which can also be considered as a promotion for the drama.

And CCTV is helping to promote our "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Ma Xun made an absolutely great contribution.

Director Ouyang certainly understands the benefits of doing so.

It would not be good if we surpass CCTV's big show.

Now what Ma Xun is doing... is awesome!

Then next, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will officially start broadcasting!

……

Jia Jingwen has been very busy recently.

To be exact, she had basically not had a good rest since that day when she had a meal with Mr. Jin Yong at Jumbo Floating Restaurant.

There are so many notifications that I can’t even receive all of them.

There are also countless interviews with reporters, and more...

Just keep busy, I really can’t handle it.

But she was really happy in her heart.

Because she knew very well what this meant.

I’m going to be famous!
It is real red, real red!
Jia Jingwen is certain that she will become famous after the broadcast of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!
Of course, there is also my good sister Yuanyuan.

Although, they have known each other for a short time, it all started from the training camp for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

However, there is a very rare feeling of intimacy.

It’s as if we were sisters in our previous life.

And this time, it is obvious that Yuanyuan will also be popular.

Now, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is about to be aired.

Jingwen and Yuanyuan will also follow the main creative team to do a live broadcast program on CCTV Channel 6 in the CCTV studio.

That’s right, live broadcast.

At the beginning, it was not a live broadcast, but a recorded broadcast.

But later, some leaders above talked about it and decided to change it to a recorded broadcast of Hunan TV's drama promotion program.

Then CCTV6 will do the live broadcast.

I heard that this suggestion was given by Mr. Ma.

He... When Jingwen thought of him, she couldn't help but blush a little.

"Sister Jingwen, what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing."

Yuanyuan seemed to have noticed something, but Jingwen quickly denied it.

“This time it’s live.”

"Of course I know."

Jingwen and Yuanyuan are now dressed up as Huang Rong and Mu Nianci respectively.

During this period of time, there have been various interviews and many activities.

As far as online reviews are concerned, a large number of netizens still think that the two of them are very suitable for each other.

In short, the casting of this new version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has gradually been accepted by most people.

Now, the most important moment is coming.

And at this critical juncture...

"He should be in the capital now."

Yuanyuan's words made Jingwen's heart move.

Who else could this be?
……

Ma Xun was busy again all day.

This "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" cannot afford to make any mistakes.

Moreover, there is a key issue here.

Before, it was done by Ma Xun, Sun Donghai and Bai Xiaohang together.

Although, everyone’s shareholding varies.

But after all, it also involves the issue of distribution of benefits.

The key point is that the relationship between the three brothers has changed now.

That bastard Sun Donghai is planning to leave.

The distribution of benefits is indeed a bit complicated.

In addition, there is one more thing, that is "The Legend of Shushan".

This movie is about to be released, and Long Wu and Sun Donghai seem to have formed a new alliance.

It's a bit tricky indeed.

Although Ma Xun was confident that he could handle it all, it would definitely be very laborious.

Never mind, let’s just focus on “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” first.

The show premiered today, and the ratings data...

Go home and have some sleep first, and we’ll talk about it tomorrow.

Ma Xun made up his mind and returned to his own courtyard.

But unexpectedly, when I pushed the door open, I heard a creaking sound.

Under the grape trellis in summer.

There is a beautiful woman swinging on the swing.

"Mr. Ma." Her voice was soft and had a special shyness.

Jia Jingwen?
Of course Ma Xun heard it instantly, but when he walked over and took a look.

I was stunned for a moment.

No, it should be said to be stunning.

But Jingwen was still wearing Huang Rong's makeup and headwear.

There have been changes in the body alone.

A bellyband with a white background and yellow flowers came into view.

How do I see this directly?

There was no way, Jingwen only wore a gauze dress on the outside.

Ma Xun almost instantly thought of "The Empress of China".

No, no, this is clearly Huang Rong.

"You want to scare people this late at night?"

"Mr. Ma, I just want to play a piece of "Blue Sea Rising Tide" for you.

"Ah? You really can? Where's your flute?"

Ma Xun said that he didn’t see any musical instruments.

But then, Jingwen smiled and bit the zipper with her teeth...

It turns out that this is the song of the rising tide in the blue sea.
