Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 345 Yang Guifei kicks An Lushan! Bingbing, do you dare to betray your own people?
Sheer curtains and the gentle sound of flowing water.

A pool of clear water, a beautiful woman languidly.

Yang Yuhuan loved bathing, a fact known to everyone in Chang'an.

At this moment, she is enjoying the warm pool water, which is emerald green and resembles a hot spring.

The emerald green spring water made her skin appear even whiter and smoother, like milk.

Unexpectedly, there was another person in this place, a man, and a fat, ugly man!
How could the Imperial Concubine not be shocked?

"oops!"

She screamed in surprise, but after seeing clearly, she added another kick.

Those jade-like feet and legs were simply dazzling.

The man was clearly not hurt, but he was still kicked to the ground.

The man panicked, sweating profusely, but in a moment of quick thinking, he blurted out:
"mother!"

His voice was lewd and shameless.

The imperial concubine chuckled lightly, only then realizing her lapse in decorum. The man seized the opportunity and immediately fled.

Such a scene, yet there was one person who witnessed it all...

"Cut! Excellent! Excellent!"

"It's really good."

"This lens design is fantastic."

It turns out they were filming our movie, "Warriors of Heaven and Earth".

What just happened is clearly an unofficial historical account.

There was a legend back then that An Lushan rebelled because of Yang Guifei.

That's certainly unlikely.

But since this legend exists, and it's quite detailed and plausible...

Since we're making movies now, and this legend exists, why not add it to the list?

Movies always need something to 'attract attention'.

Of course, we must take this seriously.

Just like in this shot right now.

Bingbing's portrayal of Yang Guifei is breathtakingly beautiful, and the fact that she is bathing perfectly matches the various legends surrounding her. Furthermore, given her image, bathing implies that she must be very clean.

This stands in stark contrast to An Lushan, who was very fat, uncouth, and even obviously greasy.

As for that kick... it was designed by Jiang Wen!

First of all, this kick was a bit suggestive; it was definitely thought-provoking and aroused hormones.

Secondly, Jiang Wen consistently likes to shoot scenes with suggestive themes in his films.

From "In the Heat of the Sun" to "Let the Bullets Fly", and even "Gone with the Bullets" and "Hidden Man", there are quite a few explicit and suggestive scenes.

The two giant lights in Milan are truly dazzling.

Needless to say, it appears in "Let the Bullets Fly," and even in "The Sun Also Rises."

The female lead is Zhou Yun, Jiang Wen's wife. The film was shot with her seemingly transparent little feet.

Jiang Wen, oh Jiang Wen... cough cough, the filming was actually quite good.

Of course, only Ma Xun knows about the later parts of the movie, but right now, he can't let Jiang Wen do anything reckless.

Yang Guifei's bath was fine.

One kick, no problem.

But other things can't be taken too far.

So, Bingbing was actually wearing a strapless swimsuit.

Skin-toned colors are less likely to give away the truth.

Actually, this kind of thing has been around for a long time, so it's not that new.

But if we follow Jiang Wen's idea, then we'll definitely have to put some pressure on Bingbing.

Maybe this woman will grit her teeth and agree.

Ma Xun knew that Bingbing was ambitious and willing to go to great lengths to achieve her ambitions.

As for "Apple"...

You should know that, after this drama, the bureau had to talk to Bingbing and that other person.

I heard the content was: How can you make this kind of movie?
That's powerful enough.

Ma Xun didn't want to be called in by the bureau for a lecture.

So, that's it.

Because of this, Bingbing and Sister Hong looked at him differently.

"You're still better to Bingbing."

Hongjie has chosen a very good opportunity to say this.

Yes, there are a lot of people here, especially Bingbing, who has already changed her clothes.

Yes, we want Bingbing to hear it.

So, how did Bingbing react?

"Brother Ma has always been very good to me."

She smiled brightly, but it was obvious that there was something hidden in her smile.

Ma Xun knew that this girl wanted to talk to him.

……

Beijing.

"Chen Kaige's sharp review of 'Hero'!"

"Two top directors are at odds?"

"Old classmate turns against you?"

Sure enough, the previous attempt to incite conflict had its effect.

The Wang brothers looked at the newspaper with smiles on their faces.

"It has to be Teacher Feng."

"That's right, it's really impressive! Look at their skills!"

"That Chen Kai is really something, he actually fell for it, haha..."

"Perhaps he just wanted to say something; he definitely wouldn't feel comfortable if he didn't."

"Yeah, that makes sense. As they say, it's worse than killing me if my classmate is more successful than me!"

"Haha... I can't stand keeping it to myself!"

The Wang brothers were overjoyed; Chen Kaige's comments on "Hero" really played a significant role.

At least for now, the media's focus is no longer on the movies.

Who wouldn't want to see a showdown between the two most talented directors in China right now?
Moreover, there were already various rumors about them.

Everyone has been waiting for the news of their discord to break!

This time, it's finally confirmed!
The Wang brothers have all become bystanders.

However, they didn't dare to think of Chen Kai as too stupid.

"What I'm saying is, did he do it on purpose?"

"In my opinion, the possibility is quite high."

"So he did this just to create a stir first?"

"Probably."

"Aren't there any others?"

"According to Director Feng, it seems that Ma Xun and he were at odds."

As the Wang brothers talked, they felt more and more uneasy.

Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou have fallen out, and that's it.

But what's going on with Ma Xun?

The two brothers discussed it carefully...

They said in unison, "Could it be that Director Chen has planted a trap for Ma Xun?"

The two brothers didn't know the specifics, but if this deduction came true...

The two of them burst into laughter.

……

In fact, after filming that scene, Bingbing was basically done with her work.

Yang Yuhuan didn't have many scenes, but the scene where she kicks An Lushan is definitely the most important. However, it's clear that Bingbing (Fan Bingbing) had something to say.

Ma Xun didn't do much; he just waited in his hotel room.

Bingbing arrived shortly after.

"Brother Ma."

Ma Xun stood by the window, and Bingbing's voice came from behind him.

He didn't say anything, but Bingbing had already hugged him from behind.

Then, Bingbing's jade-like hands began to get restless, moving downwards from her abdomen and quickly grasping the Azure Dragon.

Ma Xun interrupted her, "Let's talk about the matter first."

This action surprised Bingbing.

"Brother Ma~ Do you hate Bingbing now?" Her words carried a bittersweet tone that made one want to fall in love.

Ma Xun turned his head and saw her extremely beautiful face, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she were about to cry.

He laughed and said, "I don't hate you. On the contrary, you should ask yourself what's in your heart."

Although he was smiling, those words were really powerful.

Bingbing could only say, "I knew nothing could escape Brother Ma's keen eyes."

Ma Xun shook his head. "Don't say things like that. Let's get to the point."

Bingbing nodded and said, "Actually, I've been thinking about this before. After I finish filming 'Warriors of Heaven and Earth,' could I film some other movies?"

Ma Xun laughed again, "I've never stopped you from taking on roles that belong to other people."

This is absolutely the truth, and Ma Xun has no reason to do anything to obstruct it.

Bingbing is essentially an artist under Ma Xun's management now. The roles she takes on outside projects are to earn money for Ma Xun.

However, it's clear that this play is not simple.

Bingbing knew she couldn't beat around the bush anymore. "Director Chen contacted me before. He was planning to give me a big-budget production with the female lead."

Director Chen?

Ma Xun, of course, understood who this was, and he said bluntly, "The Promise of Wuji?"

This question really scared Bingbing!

Ma Xun is amazing! ...How does he know everything!

Regarding the film "The Promise," there is very little information available about it.

There aren't many people in the know, especially when it comes to the female lead's issues.

Bingbing didn't mention any details, but Ma Xun immediately guessed it was this drama.

Isn't that amazing?
It's absolutely terrifying!
Seeing that she was silent and looked somewhat frightened, Ma Xun decided to say a little more, "I already knew about this movie before you knew about it, but I didn't expect that he would invite you."

Actually, there's a hidden meaning in what he said.

Bingbing immediately hugged Ma Xun tightly and said in a pleading tone:

“Brother Ma, I don’t mean to betray you. I have absolutely no such intention. It’s just that I’m really tempted by such a big production. If you don’t let me take it, then I won’t.”

Ma Xun had no such thoughts at all, so he gently patted Bingbing's bottom.

"What are you thinking? Why won't I let you answer?"

This... Bingbing was truly taken aback.

She knew very well that by taking this role, she was, to put it bluntly, betraying her own people.

After all, Ma Xun and Chen Kai have clashed several times before.

Bingbing originally thought that she would have to work very hard to get Ma Xun's approval.

Unexpectedly, he actually...

Ma Xun knew Bingbing was full of questions, so he said directly, "If you take his role, it's also for my benefit. Besides, a big production has approached you, and you're the female lead. That will be a great advantage for you. No matter what happens to the film, your status will rise."

In other words, you can help me make more money in the future.

Perfect logic!

After hearing this, Bingbing finally smiled, "Brother Ma~ You're so kind."

After saying that, he looked for his relatives on the horse, and then he prepared to kneel down...

Unfortunately, Ma Xun interrupted her again, this time with a completely different tone.

"Bingbing, but what you did was definitely betraying your own people."

Good guy!
They didn't let her go either!
She broke out in a cold sweat; it was the first time she had ever felt such a powerful sense of intimidation from Ma Xun.

"me……"

Seeing her startled expression, Ma Xun spoke in a gentler tone, "I understand what you're thinking. You want to stand on your own, right? You're an ambitious girl. You certainly don't want to spend your whole life working under me, do you?"

Bingbing felt like she was naked in front of Ma Xun.

He saw right through it!

There's nothing we can do but accept it.

"Brother Ma, please believe me, I absolutely do not intend to betray you. It's just that such opportunities are rare. You know, I have never worked with such a big-name director before. I really... Brother Ma, what do you want me to do for you to believe me?"

Ma Xun said, "It's not that I don't believe you, I just want to tell you that it's unlikely that Chen Kai will be able to make any more good movies."

As I've said before, your current choice is beneficial to me.

I want to hear about your future.

That last sentence is crucial!
Upon hearing this, Bingbing felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart, because she had already made up her mind beforehand.

"When Chen Kai came to me, he was basically telling me he knew I was one of your people, but he said that the role required unparalleled beauty..."

You know how it is~ They really want to act~

Goodness, no man could resist such coquettishness.

Ma Xun listened attentively, then interjected, "I've said before that I can understand your thoughts."

Even if you want to go solo, you can leave after the contract ends, no problem.

Bingbing continued, "I will never leave Brother Ma. That idiot Hao Lei isn't doing so well these days, and I'm not going to follow her example."

As expected of her, she's quite pragmatic.

Ma Xun was amused, but this time he didn't say anything.

Bingbing continued, "Brother Ma, this is what I'm thinking: if Chen Kai's movie becomes a hit, I'll continue to work under Brother Ma's company."

But you'll have to give me lots of good resources then, okay?

She's being affectionate again... but this time it's different from before.

Ma Xun understood Bingbing's intention: she wanted to use the filming of "The Promise" to highlight her own presence.

“Okay,” Ma Xun agreed.

Of course I agreed!
Even if Bingbing replaced Bai Zhi in a terrible movie like "The Promise", would it make a difference?
So, Bingbing, this is a bamboo basket... wait a minute.

It would be great if Bingbing were to star in it!

"The Promise" may be terrible, but it had a huge budget, so the lead actors' salaries must have been substantial.

Bingbing is good at making money, and it will definitely boost her status, which is all beneficial for her.

If she earns, I earn.

Hehe, this is interesting.

The film "The Promise" was such a terrible movie, yet it cost a lot of money, but I, Ma Xun, was able to make a fortune from it.

This is so interesting.

Honestly, Ma Xun originally planned to cast Zhi Ling in this film, but now he's switched to Bing Bing.

That's quite interesting.

However, Ma Xun did remember one thing: although "The Promise" was terrible and lost a lot of money, it was actually the box office champion that year.

As luck would have it, 2005 in the original timeline was actually a low point for our films.

"The Promise" grossed around 5 million, which was a huge loss for the film, but it was indeed the champion of the year.

Things are different now. Chen Kai has messed with the wrong person!

Ma Xun certainly wouldn't underestimate his opponent, but now that Bingbing has gone to act in it, this...

"What if this film, 'The Promise,' isn't very good?"

Bingbing had actually prepared for this question long ago.

She whispered in Ma Xun's ear, "Then this is indeed a disloyal act, and naturally I have to give Brother Ma an explanation. If Brother Ma wants to punish me, he definitely won't be able to bring himself to do it."

"Then how about I give Brother Ma a son?"

Damn! Great idea!
Ma Xun laughed, and then pressed Bingbing down.

Ten fingers were inserted into her hair.

Hiss~ha~
