Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 466 This Cannes Best Actress award belongs to me, Gao Yuanyuan!
"Wait, what's this guy doing in Cannes?"

"Who knows? Maybe they're just going to make their faces known."

"But this guy seems to have actually done some things before."

"Berlin before? That was years ago..."

The Wang brothers in Beijing have finally had a chance to catch their breath recently.

They also had sources, and soon learned that Ma Xun was fighting with the big boss Wu Yusen.

Naturally, this level of combat is not something that ordinary people can discern.

The Wang brothers are no ordinary people; they have a thorough understanding of many things in this circle.

At first, they thought Wu Yusen was very capable, but later they couldn't understand many of Ma Xun's methods.

But then the latest news came out.

Wow, everything suddenly became clear.

Wu Yusen, who is known as a great director in Hong Kong and a true big shot in the Hong Kong film industry, was surprisingly defeated!
Indeed, the Wang brothers understood that the methods Ma Xun used this time were not particularly extraordinary.

Compared to dealing with the two of them, it's really just so-so.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yusen, who claimed to be a big shot, turned out to be so terrible!

You're nothing but a Hollywood director and a Hong Kong tycoon! You're nothing but rubbish!
He couldn't even last one round against Ma Xun!
Moreover, I heard from Thirteen that Wu Yusen used to be quite arrogant. He came back from Hollywood and was very successful.

The Wang brothers could tell, of course, that Wu Yusen hadn't given them, the Long brothers, any face.

That's right. Back then, they were rivals, and when it comes to dealing with Taiwan, Wu Yusen was no less capable than the Long Wu brothers.

Actually, there's a rather interesting tidbit: neither Long Wu nor Thirteen Shao consider themselves to be members of the underworld.

Because they have always been honest in paying actors and directors their salaries, and at least they have never been late with their wages.

Real gangsters, those guys don't pay.

Okay, let's not go into those details.

Wu Yusen returned from Hollywood this time still with great pomp and circumstance, still displaying the demeanor of a great director.

Thirteen Young Master and his brother also couldn't stand it.

Naturally, no one gave Wu Yusen any reminders.

So, Wu Yusen had no idea how formidable Ma Xun was.

The current outcome...

Live it!

The Wang brothers, of course, only watched from the sidelines. They couldn't get the "Red Cliff" project, but Bona Film Group could probably get involved.

As for other things... I might be interested in participating in "The Warlords".

After all, he had a pretty good relationship with the Thirteenth Young Master.

But now, the two of them really couldn't understand what Ma Xun was up to.

Going to Cannes?
"Can the film 'Shanghai Dreams' win an award?"

"It's hard to say, but the question is, even if you win the prize, how much profit can you make?"

"Yes, it's very difficult. Is it all because of that little wench surnamed Gao?"

"It shouldn't be. Ma Xun has plenty of women around him, and there are quite a few who are prettier than Miss Gao."

The two brothers exchanged ideas, but still couldn't grasp the point.

But then, someone appeared.

"Bosses, Director Zhang is here."

The person who drew people in was no ordinary person; it was Li Xue, who had just finished his vacation.

Li Xue took a vacation under the guise of annual leave, which wasn't a bad thing. At that time, the Wang brothers were also planning to train other agents.

Moreover, she used to work very hard, just like her sister, both being representatives of workaholics.

She's accumulated a lot of annual leave, so let her take it.

Therefore, the Wang brothers had no idea that Li Xue had used this vacation to have a baby.

And right now, this Director Zhang is, of course, Zhang the Bearded.

"Mr. Wang, I've secured my latest project!"

"Huh? What is it?"

"Yes, you've been..."

"It's none other than Master Jin Yong's 'Condor Trilogy'!"

This……

The Wang brothers were somewhat helpless. They hadn't expected that after all that trouble, this bearded man would end up restarting Jin Yong's trilogy.

What did you say about him?

This guy probably has some kind of obsession.

He must have felt regret that he didn't get to film the "Big Beard" movie. And after finishing "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer," if he had continued with the trilogy...

Fine, I'll teach this guy a lesson.

"How about we switch?"

"Huh? Change what?"

"The Four Great Classical Novels!"

Hey, the Wang brothers are really something with their high-profile approach!

Li Xue, who was standing nearby, covered her mouth, wanting to laugh.

Indeed, from Li Xue's perspective, she felt that the Wang brothers were joking, and that it was a Northeastern way of speaking.

In Northeast China, family conversations sometimes go like this: for example, a child asks their parents for money.

Give me ten yuan.

If my parents don't want to give it to me, they'll say: "I'll give you ten thousand!"
This is obviously something that can't be done.

Exaggeration is tantamount to rejection.

but!

"You two, Mr. Wang, actually thought of that too?"

what?
What's the situation?
Zhang the Bearded Man laughed and said, "Great! We've been wanting to film the Four Great Classical Novels for a long time! How about we join forces and film 'Journey to the West' first?"

what? !

The Wang brothers never expected that they would end up in Zhang Dahuzi's car like this.

The investment in any of the Four Great Classical Novels is not small!

As for Li Xue... this matter needs to be known to Boss Ma.

But then the conversation between the three of them turned to Ma Xun.

"That 'Shanghai Dreams' is just so-so!"

"It can't be that Ma Xun is helping that Miss Gao win the Best Actress award, can it?"

"Yes, that Gao girl, I think her acting is terrible, what makes her think she can win Best Actress!"

So... should we also pass these words on to Mr. Ma?
Li Xue was somewhat conflicted.

……

Cannes.

What exactly happened to that genius girl from back then?

"How dare she!"

Boycott Natalie Portman!

Originally, this year's Cannes Film Festival was supposed to be a harmonious event.

Many of the awards are already decided, especially the Best Actress award.

Almost everyone predicted before the film festival that Natalie would win Best Actress here.

But no one expected that her mouth would be so unrestrained, directly offending a group that cannot be offended in Europe and America.

However, the latest news is that the girl has come out to apologize.

He stated frankly that he never intended to hurt anyone.

However, even though she apologized, the impact of this incident means that she can forget about winning Best Actress at this film festival.

In fact, Natalie Portman's Oscar win was originally very secure.

It's just that many people don't quite understand it yet.

Yuanyuan was one of them.

clack clack...

Today, Yuanyuan wore a long dress with strong Chinese elements, looking elegant and beautiful. Under the cameras of the reporters, she displayed a very approachable smile.

Yuanyuan is not the kind of top-tier, exceptionally beautiful woman.

But she gives off a very comfortable feeling.

After taking these photos, Yuanyuan immediately started getting all lovey-dovey with Ma Xun again.

"No, you shouldn't be getting too close to me right now."

"What's there to be afraid of? We're abroad now."

Yuanyuan's words were a way of finding a loophole.

These days, many of our domestic celebrities like to travel abroad.

One of the biggest reasons is that they are not considered celebrities abroad, so they don't have many opportunities to be photographed by paparazzi.

In other words, it's safer, and this model might even remain popular for over 20 years.

More than 20 years later, we Chinese have become NPCs all over the world, and there are even small shops run by Chinese people in the Amazon rainforest.

There's nothing we can do about it.

As Yuanyuan said, it is indeed true that people abroad need to be 'safe'.

But that's clearly nonsense.

Ma Xun playfully flicked Yuan Yuan's nose. "If word gets back to China and they say you're my mistress, we'll see if you cry then."

Why would I cry? I might even be happy.

Yuanyuan's words are truly... the absolute truth.

Ma Xun smiled helplessly.

Fortunately, they know how to hide here in Cannes.

Cannes is truly a small city.

However, it is also a very famous tourist destination. Not to mention France, wealthy people from all over Europe like to stay here.

That's true; the film festival actually occupies a street right next to the sea.

Although this film festival is very famous, it is not very big in terms of the entire region.

Once you step out of this street, it's a completely different world.

However, there are many luxury brand stores.

In addition, there is the old town.

Because many wealthy people come here, it's natural to build some high-end residences. This area originally had an old town, but with this kind of development, the old town has basically been abandoned.

Interestingly, this old town could be considered a tourist attraction, but being old, the streets are narrow and the buildings are dilapidated.

Ma Xun and Yuanyuan are strolling through the old town. There aren't many people around, making it a perfect time for the two of them to be alone.

But the things they were talking about... were still those of the movie queen.

"Let's forget about the Best Actress award."

Yuanyuan has been wanting to talk about this issue.

Ma Xun knew exactly what she was thinking. "Are you afraid people will say that your skills aren't up to par?"

"How...how did you guess so accurately?"

Yuanyuan's little expressions are so funny.

Ma Xun laughed and said, "Because I'm really not good enough."

This……

"Oh dear, how can you talk like that!" How could Yuanyuan not be angry?

Ma Xun then said, "That's just how the world is. If we only judge these awards based on ability, then there are too many choices. Besides, acting skills are nothing more than understanding the character and how a person presents that character."

Who can truly be certain that the person who did it was the best?

Of course, we can easily tell who has poor acting skills.

But if we're talking about who has the best acting skills, then that's a real debate.

Ma Xun's explanation was so novel that Yuanyuan felt she had learned a lot.

"what do you mean……"

"That's right. Awards like Best Actor and Best Actress aren't based on talent alone; they require a combination of various factors."

Yuanyuan nodded. "What you said is very good, but this Best Actress..."

Ma Xun then replied, "If you become the Cannes Best Actress, you can earn me even more money in the future, so be determined."

What else can Yuanyuan say?
"that's all?"

Ma Xun had no choice but to say again, "Actually, this is also a test for Wu Yusen. That is to say, if I can completely control this guy, then he will do as I ask. Do you understand?"

"Oh, I see." Yuanyuan pouted. "I was used too."

Ma Xun laughed and simply pinned Yuanyuan against the wall, "Didn't we say before? I was willing..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yuanyuan simply wrapped her arms around his neck, saying, "Of course I'm willing to be used by you, you know that."

After saying that, he kissed her.

Honestly, Ma Xun was furious at the kiss.

but……

"still……"

"I understand."

The two parted, still feeling a sense of unfinished business.

After all, this is outside. Although there aren't many people in this old town, if someone finds them doing the deed, that would be... well, that's even more explosive than Natalie's statement.

Yuanyuan can forget about winning the Best Actress award.

But there is still a problem.

What should I wear that day?

Yuanyuan has been living a very glamorous life these past few years.

She changes into a beautiful outfit almost every day.

Any girl would absolutely love this feeling... That's right, Yuanyuan was also absolutely in love with Ma Xun.

But this outfit...

"Purple."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"Don't you know? There's a place in Northeast China..."

"have what?"

Yuanyuan was extremely curious, and Ma Xun whispered in her ear:
“Zi Ding can do it (meaning it can be done).”

This... Yuanyuan blushed deeply.

"You're so wicked!"

That's what I say, but if I wore that color... hehehe...

Yuanyuan immediately made another request.

"I want to wear the clothes you bought for me!"

Ma Xun never expected that she would make such a request.

This Yuanyuan... has a friendly smile, and is also a little bit flirtatious.

Which man could resist that?
buy!
Ma Xun dragged the person towards the luxury goods store!

……

5 month 22 day.

The closing ceremony of the 58th Cannes Film Festival is here!
On this day, the red carpet was dazzling with stars!
Suddenly, many cameras spotted a beautiful Asian woman.

Yuanyuan makes her appearance!

Today, she is wearing a long purple dress embroidered with traditional cloud patterns.

Nobody knows.

It's purple inside too.

However, wearing such a sexy outfit for the first time made her walk a little awkwardly.

But thinking of that sentence... "Ziding can do it," I couldn't help but laugh.

Today's Best Actress award belongs to me, Gao Yuanyuan!
