Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 218 Another 7500 million! "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a huge hit! Sun Donghai is an enemy, not a friend!
Jingwen’s fighting ability is limited, and Yuanyuan is a little shy.

I'm afraid no one could have imagined it.

The new version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has just been aired, and Huang Rong, Mu Nianci and Ma Xun are already having such a passionate love affair.

Fortunately, Ma Xun also knows his limits and knows what to do in recent times.

The two of them would be very busy, so they just stopped at the right time.

But even so, Jingwen and Yuanyuan were still panting softly, like willows in the wind.

Don’t look at this, I couldn’t fall asleep for a while.

Jingwen and Yuanyuan couldn't help but tell Ma Xun some of their true thoughts.

"I was originally sending a message to Teacher Yu."

"Then you should tell me."

"How can you say that after the situation just now?"

"It's not my fault."

It’s really enough. Ma Xun knows how to make people angry.

Yuanyuan simply told Jingwen.

"Teacher Yu got first-hand ratings data."

"Really?"

"Of course, the results are very good."

"How much is that?"

“More than 30%!”

"Oh my God!"

To be honest, Ma Xun was also surprised when he heard this result.

Not to mention Jia Jingwen.

She couldn't help but cover her little mouth with one hand. This time... it was confirmed that she would really get red this time!

Just look at the previous drama "Young Justice Bao", the final average viewership ratings also exceeded 3%.

When such results came out, it really shocked the entire film and television industry.

No one thought that there would be a drama with such high ratings this year.

In fact, it is a recognized fact in the industry that the TV station's ratings are getting lower and lower.

Ma Xun also remembered it very clearly. "Young Justice Bao" was the last TV series, and its ratings still reached 3%.

Now a movie called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is out.

This is great!
The good thing is, it was all done by me, Ma Xun!

It's normal. If it was someone else who did it, I would be anxious and angry.

But what I made myself is a good one.

However, Jingwen and Yuanyuan are still a little unconfident.

"I heard that the ratings of 'Swordsman' were also very high at the beginning."

"Yeah, I don't know if our play will..."

"Hey, stop talking nonsense, it definitely won't happen."

"How can I put it that way?"

How could Ma Xun not interrupt this conversation?

"You two, just put your minds at ease. I was the one who produced the show The Legend of the Condor Heroes. I was watching it from beginning to end. There is absolutely no problem with a show like this!"

Ma Xun's confidence made Jingwen and Yuanyuan very happy.

In fact, these are the words they both wanted to hear.

It’s hard to say about other aspects of Ma Xun, but when it comes to starting a project, he is always very reliable.

But why don't you tell me the specific reason?
Ma Xun could only laugh and said, "I didn't make the same mistake as Zhang Da Huzi."

That's it?

It sounds too simple, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to be enough.

At this point, Jingwen and Yuanyuan were very satisfied.

Then they just slept together until the sun was high in the sky.

……

Ma Xun is not a person who likes to brag.

He said this "Legend of the Condor Heroes" would not start strong but end weak like "Swordsman".

That means it won’t open high and end low!

When the adults Guo Jing, Yang Kang and Ouyang Ke appeared.

Our "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has seen another surge in ratings!

At the same time, there have been gratifying changes in word of mouth.

"This Guo Jing is so handsome!"

“Maybe it’s different from the original, but I’m very satisfied with this Guo Jing!”

"Actually, it's not that Guo Jing can't be handsome. At least the novel doesn't describe him as ugly."

"That's right! Look at Yan Xun's face shape, it's obviously a square face, which is a very masculine and upright face shape."

"That's right... But I like Yang Kang more."

"Yes, Yang Kang is also very handsome!"

"Isn't Ouyang Ke good? His peach blossom eyes are really... the casting is great!"

Although it cannot be said that it has received unanimous praise from netizens.

But the vast majority of netizens still approve of the casting of this version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

To be honest, Yan Xun's appearance is indeed outstanding.

There is nothing wrong with Yin Xiaotian and Sha Yi, they both look really good.

Moreover, Shayi people have another drama called "Marrying the Wrong Man in the Right Carriage" to be broadcast.

Now, I might as well use the light to warm up.

This shows how awesome our version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is.

As for the situation in the industry...

Many people in the circle were very surprised because the protagonists of this version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were basically newcomers.

Yan Xun, Sha Yi, Yin Xiaotian, Jia Jingwen, and Gao Yuanyuan have indeed acted in dramas before, and Jingwen and Yuanyuan have acted in quite a few.

But look at their ages!

All young.

Having said that, they are all newcomers in the entertainment industry, so there is not much problem.

It obviously takes a lot of courage to recruit so many new people at once.

But the current achievements are enough to prove its success.

Ma Xun succeeded again, is it just because he is lucky?

Of course not, some people have seen it.

Take the production of a film or TV series as an example, the goal is to attract audiences to watch it.

Then we usually look for some big stars to act.

That's definitely true.

However, if the purpose is just to attract audiences, is it necessary to find a big star?

Who is the most attractive person to the audience in this version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?

Jin Yong!

That’s right, audiences who like to watch this kind of martial arts drama are definitely here for Jin Yong’s reputation.

With him around, it can at least attract a lot of attention in the early stages and generate a lot of news.

"Swordsman" achieved such a high viewership rating as soon as it was first broadcast, which is rare for CCTV in recent years.

Isn’t it because of this reason?

But "Swordsman" made a big mistake.

They invited Yapeng to play Linghu Chong.

Yapeng is really not suitable for this role, and he didn't contribute any good acting skills.

As a result, there are a lot of people scolding him now.

Then look at The Legend of the Condor Heroes...

Many bosses have seen a key point!
Jin Yong's martial arts dramas are not only a current hot topic, but also can bring quite good returns on investment.

You can also support newcomers!
It's like casting like Ma Xun, boldly using newcomers.

It doesn’t matter, we have Jin Yong.

As long as this brand is there, it will be hard for this movie to lose money.

Don’t underestimate this recognition. Many bosses in the industry are very happy about it.

Can you take on a Jin Yong drama and promote your own people?
What a great thing.

Therefore, although "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has not yet been completed, it has already achieved such success that it has even triggered a new wave of Jin Yong's martial arts craze.

There are also many game companies that plan to produce related online games.

All of a sudden, GDP seems to have increased again!
However, speaking of the fact that Jin Yong's dramas promote newcomers... Ma Xun was full of confidence when he was casting.

Because this is the common routine later. Even though martial arts dramas are no longer popular, many new actors’ debut dramas are martial arts dramas.

The main reason at that time was: cheap.

More than a decade later, the cost of adapting martial arts novels was much lower than that of online novels.

Other production costs are terrifyingly low. Everything needed for filming can be collected from Hengdian. In other words, there is no need for new costumes, old ones can be used.

anyway.

In fact, Zhang Da Huzi is really a bit stupid. If he hadn't recognized Yapeng, the popular young actor, he would have seriously chosen a less famous newcomer to play Linghu Chong.

I guess even "Swordsman" wouldn't be criticized so badly.

But there is no other way. Zhang Da Huzi chose the casting this way to express his sincerity.

But Ma Xun didn't have so many concerns.

I am using the reputation of Jin Yong, the master of martial arts novels, to train my own people!

These newcomers will be the backbone of my Ma Xun entertainment empire in the future.

Nothing wrong, absolutely nothing wrong!
What Ma Xun lacks most now is actually people. He already has several film and television drama production teams under his company.

There is Hong Jie on one side, Ye Quanzhen on the other, and in the future there will be Yu Feihong, or others... At least it won't be long before Light Media will have a project.

So, Ma Xun really needs more people!
But for now, let’s just look at the ratings of “The Legend of the Condor Heroes”.

After the main characters appeared, the ratings soared and then slowly stabilized.

And then... when the scene of the Western Expedition came out.

Wow, it broke through the previous high again!

At this point, our "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can be absolutely confirmed.

After the broadcast, the ratings will definitely be above 30%.

Moreover, it is very likely to exceed the previous 32% viewership rating of "Young Justice Bao".

So, with such a huge success, we can share some benefits.

……

Niujie.

"Oh my! Man, I finally get to eat this again."

"Haha...it's been a while since I last ate it."

"Come on, let's have fun today!"

Ma Xun invited everyone to eat hotpot, and the guests were naturally Sun Donghai and Bai Xiaohang.

It is indeed not easy for the three of them to get together again.

It’s summer now, so let’s not talk about anything else for now, let’s eat meat and drink some wine first!
Soon, the three of them talked about the issue of dividing the profits from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

It's okay. Although Sun Donghai and Ma Xun have already had a rift and it's no longer as difficult as before, when it comes to dividing the money, he can still stick to his principles.

"Let's just follow the old rules."

It's good to hear what he said.

Ma Xun directly received 7500 million.

The rest was divided between Sun Donghai and Bai Xiaohang.

Of course, Bai Xiaohang got the least, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

This is the old rule, and he is not short of money.

Besides, it’s about tens of millions, which is quite a lot.

Moreover, whoever gets more will have to bear more responsibilities and incur more costs.

Ma Xun will have to deduct at least 2000 million.

Without further ado, Sun Donghai behaved so decisively, but he actually had other intentions.

"Brothers, let's talk about the movie."

Sun Donghai started the conversation, and Ma Xun and Bai Xiaohang exchanged glances.

"The Legend of Shushan?"

Bai Xiaohang mentioned the name, and this time it was Sun Donghai who nodded.

The guy went on to say, "I went a little too far in my previous investment, but I did it for the sake of our reputation.

After all, Long Wu and Shisan are the two guys who are the leaders of this play.

As for Hong Kong movies and so on, we still have to continue doing business.

Okay, I’ll stop talking nonsense here, now is the important part.

"The Legend of Shushan" is scheduled to be released in August. How is this drama...

Brother, tell me the truth, is that Xu Qing Investment related to you?"

Hey! Sun Donghai has become smarter now.

Or maybe, he was originally very smart, but Ma Xun was just better in many aspects.

But none of this matters.

Ma Xun smiled, "It has something to do with me, what's the problem with that?"

Sun Donghai also laughed, "Brother, Long Wu and Shisan have talked to me, they plan to pay 10 million, which is to return the investment that Xu Qing made before to you.

As for the box office share, forget it."

Should we clear Ma Xun’s investment at this time?
Ma Xun smiled and asked, "10 million in cash?"

Sun Donghai nodded again, "Brother, you have taken a lot of advantage, that's enough."

Ok?
It’s so strange, why do people say that Ma Xun took advantage?

Bai Xiaohang was completely confused.

Ma Xun nodded and agreed, but then said, "Brother, have you ever thought that this "Shushan Zhuan" might fail at the box office? If so, then I will have earned nothing, and you will have lost money."

Of course Sun Donghai didn't believe it. He laughed and said, "Even if that's the case, it's no big deal. It's only 10 million."

This guy is indeed very powerful, especially when combined with his brothers Long Wu.

Ma Xun said, "We are brothers. I really don't want us to become enemies in the future."

It feels like something from the heart.

Sun Donghai emphasized again, "I said this before, we really shouldn't make enemies."

These words seem to have profound meaning.

Bai Xiaohang didn't understand, but Ma Xun and Sun Donghai raised their glasses.

The two of them toasted.

After that, Sun Donghai got up and left.

This... Bai Xiaohang was surprised that the cup was not thrown.

"Brother Ma, what's going on?"

"Nothing, I've already made money."

"what?"

Of course Bai Xiaohang was asking about his relationship with Sun Donghai, but Ma Xun talked about money.

It's really irrelevant.

But there's nothing wrong in talking about this.

"The original 10 million yuan, the 'direction' of investment is very important."

"direction?"

"Yes, for movies, money must be used for specific purposes so that the accounts can be clear. I previously invested in "The Legend of Zu" through Xu Qing.

The main investment is in filming, the set in Hengdian, the newly built studio, and a computer special effects company on our mainland."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Bai Xiaohang still didn't think there was anything wrong.

But in fact...that special effects company belongs to Ma Xun.

Well, to be exact, it was co-founded by Cherie Chung and Ma Xun, and it was a special effects company that completely copied Xian Tao.

Speaking of Hengdian, Ma Xun is one of the major shareholders of Hengdian.

In other words, the 10 million that Xu Qing had invested before.

All of them were invested in Ma Xun’s own company!
He invested in himself, but ended up having to share other people's box office revenue from "The Legend of Zu".

Who said this trick is bad? This trick is really great!
Ma Xun's move was a classic example of getting something for nothing, and on the surface he did invest in this movie.

By the time Long Wu, Shisan Shao and Sun Donghai realized that this was a dirty trick, it was already too late!
The contract has been signed.

Therefore, he had to use Sun Donghai's relationship and pay 10 million to hire Ma Xun out.

Doesn’t this mean that Ma Xun made 10 million for nothing?
No, Xu Qing also played a role.

But it’s really hard to explain it to Bai Xiaohang at the moment.

This guy is indeed a bit stupid.

But one thing is very simple.

"Brother, I'm afraid Sun Donghai will be our enemy rather than our friend from now on."

When Ma Xun said this, Bai Xiaohang was stunned for a long time.

Didn't you tell him before: We won't become enemies?
How come now they are so sure that they are 'enemies, not friends'?
In fact, it’s just about shouting for what you lack.

Ma Xun and Sun Donghai's hearts are as clear as a mirror...
