Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 236: 5000 million box office! "My Sassy Girl" is nominated for the Golden Horse Awards!
"Director Wang, if we want to modify our film according to the bureau's rectification suggestions, if Jiao Xiongping hears about this..."

"She, what will happen to her?"

"Do you believe it? She will definitely feel that you are being oppressed."

"Mr. Ma, she wouldn't be like this, would she?"

"You can ask then."

……

Jiao Xiongping is currently in Beijing.

In fact, in terms of time, the Golden Horse Awards will be held in more than a month, and it would be best for her to return to Taiwan at this time.

However, she is very clear in her mind that the Golden Horse Awards currently have to rely on mainland and Hong Kong films.

As for Taiwan’s current film industry, it is visibly getting worse.

In fact, the more you understand, the more you understand.

There is no hope for the future!

A talented director like Li An has gone to Hollywood.

But those who have no ability are left behind, and another reason is that it is too closed.

The attitudes of some people on the island really made her feel helpless.

Therefore, if the Golden Horse Awards want to be successful, it must have mainland and Hong Kong films to support it.

In fact, in recent years, the boundaries of Hong Kong films have become increasingly blurred.

Fatty Wang even shouted out, 'There will be no more Hong Kong movies in the future, only Chinese movies.'

So what should we do? Jiao Xiongping is not a fool.

Of course, it mainly depends on the mainland.

In addition, Jiao Xiongping himself also has a "Three Cities Tale" plan.

The "city" here includes the mainland.

When she saw the script of "The Bicycle Thief", Jiao Xiongping decided to include this film in her "A Tale of Three Cities".

However, this film was not so smooth.

Just recently, Han Sanping from Beijing Film Studio called her.

Not passed the review.

This made Jiao Xiongping very embarrassed.

However, this woman’s first reaction was... to suppress!
This fat woman's thinking is similar to that of many so-called cultural figures in Taiwan Province.

So she decided to persuade Wang Xiaoshuai to take the film to exhibit abroad.

This isn't the first time this has happened, there have been many such incidents before.

The most famous among them is Zhang Yuan, who later caused an incident in which a domestic film director wrote a letter to the emperor.

That was in 1995, before the Golden Rooster Awards.

Zhang Yuan was one of them. The most famous director at that time was Teng Wenji. No one knew how many directors there were exactly. Later, it was said that there were seven.

What they submitted was actually a letter to the bureau.

However, the content of the letter is roughly like this: In order to revitalize the sluggish domestic film market, we hope to relax the restrictions on our domestic films.

That is, they can make films with larger scales to get higher box office.

Anyway, that's the content of the 'petition', and the main goal is to make more money, that's how it's written.

However, the method of submitting this petition is somewhat special.

These guys plan to distribute flyers before the Golden Rooster Awards.

'Writing a letter' is too concrete.

Needless to say, the leader was very angry.

It is naturally impossible to loosen it.

This is the so-called "Seven Gentlemen of the Sixth Generation Directors Petition Incident".

Now, if Wang Xiaoshuai’s "The Bicycle Thief" also chooses to go to Berlin very decisively.

Then he is not...

"Director Wang, you will become a gentleman among the sixth generation of directors."

After receiving Wang Xiaoshuai's call, Jiao Xiongping said this directly.

My goodness, just this one sentence made Wang Xiaoshuai feel a chill down his spine.

"Ms. Jiao, let's find an opportunity to talk about it in detail."

"Okay."

Jiao Xiongping still felt that Wang Xiaoshuai would listen to his instigation and go directly to Berlin regardless of Han Sanping or the rectification suggestions from the bureau.

With this idea in mind, she met with Wang Xiaoshuai.

As it turned out, it wasn’t just Wang Xiaoshuai, but also a rumored figure.

"Hello, Ms. Jiao."

Ma Xun came with Wang Xiaoshuai.

Today, they simply found a cafe and met Ms. Jiao Xiongping.

To be honest, Ma Xun had some understanding of this woman Jiao Xiongping.

This woman does like movies, and she especially likes art films, but it is hard to say whether she has any bad intentions.

That is indeed true.

But she is not that bad.

If she was purely bad, she wouldn't have been able to do well in our mainland.

Moreover, he has made certain contributions and has done a lot of work for the overseas promotion of Chinese films, especially for communication between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Of course, if you ask her herself, she will definitely say that she has no bad intentions at all and it is all for the good of Chinese films.

If I were to give her an evaluation...it might be that she has been poisoned by literature and art.

It's like the one Feng Xiaogang filmed later, where the director was sent to the hospital because he was too elegant.

Don’t think too much about it, Jiao Xiongping also extended his hand.

The two shook hands and exchanged a few words.

After that, the three of them sat down, and before the coffee came, they chatted about some meaningless topics.

Jiao Xiongping was still a little curious about Ma Xun, as he had heard of this name before.

Moreover, Han Sanping recently mentioned the movie "My Sassy Girl" to her.

Although Ma Xun had never been to Taiwan Province, his fame had long gone.

The Chen family members gnashed their teeth when they mentioned him.

He Xiuqiong, Ye Quanzhen and others all said good things.

In short, in Taiwan's entertainment circle, Ma Xun is now number one.

Jiao Xiongping naturally talked about these things.

And after the coffee came...Ma Xun no longer had any patience.

"Let me put it bluntly. I want the movie 17 Years Old Bicycle."

"Ah?" Jiao Xiongping didn't react for a moment.

This is too direct!
However, she has seen many ups and downs after all, and she is a real entertainment godmother in Taiwan Province.

So, without saying anything, he just looked at Wang Xiaoshuai.

Wang Xiaoshuai had actually figured it out, and he immediately said, "Boss Ma is very sincere, and he also proposed a very good rectification plan."

Corrective action plan?

When Jiao Xiongping heard this word, the first thing she thought of was...

"Director Wang, how can you succumb to power?"

The smell is too strong.

Ma Xun's face looked very strange, and Wang Xiaoshuai on the other side was even more shocked.

Jiao Xiongping was a little confused by the changes in their expressions.

"How is this going?"

When she asked this, Wang Xiaoshuai said, "Before coming here, Mr. Ma talked to me about this. He said that if we mentioned revisions, then Ms. Jiao's reaction would be..."

In the end, I didn’t say anything.

But the meaning is so clear!

"So what's wrong with my reaction?"

Jiao Xiongping was now so angry that he was jumping up and down.

That’s right, before Ma Xun came, he had already predicted what Jiao Xiongping’s reaction would be.

At this time, Ma Xun simply took over the conversation, "Ms. Jiao, can you guys stop making the movie so complicated?"

Jiao Xiongping now understood that the real key was Ma Xun.

He is the one I have to deal with today!
"What do you mean by too complicated? If a movie is modified, does it become complicated?"

If you can deal with Ma Xun, you win!

Is Jiao Xiongping planning to defeat Ma Xun?

"Ms. Jiao, then your family never changes when making movies? Doesn't that mean they're making documentaries?"

In a word, Jiao Xiongping was choked.

"You are changing the concept."

"What do you mean by stealing the concept? Then let me ask you, was this movie filmed here in Beijing?"

"Yes."

"Then is this capital city only made up of those small alleys in the movies?" "This..."

"Look outside..."

Ma Xun pointed outside, and wow, this area is full of tall buildings!
Jiao Xiongping was shocked, he had fallen into a trap.

Yes, I chose this place on purpose.

Nowadays, anyone who drinks coffee must be an urban elite white-collar worker, so there are many coffee shops near the East Third Ring Road.

The East Third Ring Road is currently a very hot area in Beijing's real estate market. There are many high-rise buildings, offices and large companies nearby.

When Jiao Xiongping saw this, he couldn't find the words to fight back.

Ma Xun continued, “Since there are many tall buildings in this city, and the bureau’s rectification suggestion is that our film has too many shabby alleys, which is not conducive to the Olympic bid.

So, what's the problem if we change it?
If the level of urban construction in a city is very poor, and we insist on capturing the feeling of skyscrapers in our photos, this is absolutely wrong.

I, Ma Xun, absolutely do not support such behavior.

But isn’t the truth just the opposite?

And looking at it this way...Ms. Jiao, do you have some bad intentions in your heart?"

Not to mention Jiao Xiongping, even Wang Xiaoshuai was shocked when he heard this.

That’s too cruel!

"Mr. Ma, I can confirm that Ms. Jiao is definitely our compatriot."

This helps to characterize the situation.

Jiao Xiongping was so angry that he had to say to Wang Xiaoshuai: "Director Wang, you are a filmmaker, a well-known director, and an artist.

Independent creative spirit, this is what you aspire to, right? "

This is true, and she also mentioned the independent creative spirit, which is absolutely in direct conflict with Ma Xun.

If it is changed, then it will no longer be independent creation.

But Wang Xiaoshuai blushed and said, "But, Mr. Ma is really sincere."

Sincerity?

Jiao Xiongping asked: "What conditions did he give you?"

Ma Xun simply smiled and took over the conversation, "How much did you spend on this movie? I can double it..."

It's definitely using money to hit people!
But, it was a beautiful smash!

Well, the movie didn’t cost much at all.

The most important prop in the play is Merida's mountain bike, an entry-level model.

Jiao Xiongping felt the enormous pressure and once again placed his hope on Wang Xiaoshuai. "It's okay to change, but can we change less? Moreover, we can also add many favorable conditions..."

She finally wavered, but it was obvious that she still didn't give up.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaoshuai said, "Mr. Ma said that he will invite Gong Li to star in this movie."

"Gong Li?" Jiao Xiongping was stunned. "The international film queen?"

She wanted to confirm it.

Ma Xun was very straightforward. He dialed the number directly and then handed it to Jiao Xiongping.

"Ah, Sister Jiao, we haven't seen each other for a while."

"Oh, yes, yes..."

Jiao Xiongping forced a smile on her face, for she was afraid that the person on the other end of the line would hear her embarrassment.

I didn’t even dare to mention this movie!

Of course Jiao Xiongping knew Gong Li, but she definitely couldn't invite her!

Now... is there no way back?
Jiao Xiongping has another skill. Don’t forget, she is the chairman of the Golden Horse Awards.

"Mr. Ma, don't you want "My Sassy Girl" to be nominated for the Golden Horse Awards?"

Want to make a deal?
Ma Xun laughed, "We don't expect much from the Golden Horse Award."

The road is blocked!

The key point is that the answer was very straightforward and the words were very concise, without any intention of wasting saliva.

Jiao Xiongping was completely at a loss. The film actually bought the label of Beijing Film Studio, and they did not pay the full amount.

The key is Wang Xiaoshuai. This movie is his, and now Ma Xun has obviously bribed Wang Xiaoshuai.

That’s true. Wang Xiaoshuai wears glasses and looks at Ma Xun as if he can judge people very accurately.

If Jiao Xiongping had taken the film to Berlin himself, it would have been impossible without Wang Xiaoshuai.

If the director said, you are going against my wishes.

Jiao Xiongping and others became bad guys.

At this point, Ma Xun felt that it was about enough.

"Let's just leave it at that..."

Wang Xiaoshuai nodded and planned to follow.

Jiao Xiongping said this in a hurry.

"Please don't leave, we can still talk!"

What else did she want to talk about?

……

September has passed and the National Day holiday has arrived.

But there are no blockbusters during this year's National Day holiday.

The only one that can be said to be highly anticipated is Feng Xiaogang’s latest movie.

"A Sigh".

This film doesn't fit in with the atmosphere of National Day at all.

It tells the story of a mistress.

However, this is actually the movie that Feng Xiaogang particularly wanted to make.

The movie "Never Ending" at the end of last year was actually forced to be filmed.

Because if we start counting from "Party A and Party B", then it will end in "Endless".

Exactly three.

It can form a Lunar New Year trilogy of Feng's comedies.

Therefore, the completion of "Never Ending" is really not very good.

But Feng Xiaogang’s reputation is indeed impressive.

It also took in over 3000 million at the box office.

This time, he really wanted to shoot "A Sigh", and the Wang brothers naturally had no objection.

Investment, and all of them are top-notch.

But this movie tells the story of a successful man and his mistress.

This story basically relies entirely on Feng Xiaogang's skills.

But, it’s true, the gossip outside the play is more interesting.

She is the heroine in the movie, and she is really a mistress.

However, she was a nice person. When she was Zhang Ruoyun's mother, at least Zhang Ruoyun didn't scold her after she became famous.

Xu Fengnian obviously looked down on his biological father even more.

Of course, the things happening inside and outside the play echo each other, making this movie really worth watching.

But alas, “My Sassy Girl” is at it again!
The latest news is here!
"Official announcement! Nominated for the Golden Horse Awards!"

"My Sassy Girl is nominated for the Golden Horse Awards, and faces many strong competitors!"

“Can “My Sassy Girl” become the dark horse of this year’s Golden Horse Awards?”

This news is really exciting for fans of this movie.

Nowadays, the Golden Horse Awards are still very prestigious.

And under the stimulation of such good news.

Our "My Sassy Girl" is finally done!

After the National Day holiday, the box office revenue exceeded 5000 million!
……

"It's 5000 million."

"What? Are you anxious again?"

"Brother Ma~Of course I don't have it, it's just..."

"Well, let me think about it."

"Any good movies?"

When Jingwen heard the good news of 5000 million, she simply came to see Brother Ma alone.

Ma Xun certainly knew what she was thinking, but this movie...

Just thinking about it, Jingwen couldn't help but ask: "That Jiao Xiongping is so amazing, she actually softened, Brother Ma you are so amazing!"

This shocked the godmother of Taiwan's entertainment.

Ma Xun really made Jingwen admire him even more.

But, that's what he said.

"Some things are just like this. You have to be strong enough. Difficulties are like springs. If you are strong, they will become soft."

Jingwen blushed when she heard this, "Why does Brother Ma sound so lewd when he talks about it?"

After saying that, the two of them simply kissed each other.

Color it.
