China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 436 Refuse to gamble, refuse drugs, refuse to invest in football
It is also interesting to say that most of the filming locations of Yuanshikong's "Xiuchundao 2" were in the ancient city of Taierzhuang, Zaoshi, Cao Xuan's hometown.

Cao Xuan's Golden Finger still has an impression. At that time, many relatives and friends from his hometown went to Taierzhuang to block people, wanting to see Da Mimi's demeanor, but most of them returned disappointed.

If possible, Cao Xuan would like to support the construction of cultural tourism in his hometown, but unfortunately, there is not even a shadow of the ancient city of Taierzhuang.

Therefore, the selection of "Xiu Chun Knife 2" is basically based on the film and television bases near the capital. As for the location, as long as it is properly moved to the vicinity of Baiyangdian in Fanxing Film and Television City, it can be regarded as Cao Xuan's private goods.

Fanxing Film and Television City can also hang up the sign of the filming location of "Xiu Chun Dao 2" as it wishes, to strengthen its momentum.

Beizhen Fusi, in the Yamen Hall
Wang Zhiwen was dressed in an exquisite and gorgeous flying fish suit, sitting on the main seat, with a plate of fishbone in front of him, and two powerful warriors standing around with sabers in their arms, Cao Xuan and Qin Hao, who were wearing hundreds of household uniforms, spoke respectfully in front of each other.

A few long-distance shots were taken, with Wang Zhiwen facing the camera alone, and Cao Xuan acting off-screen.

"There is a painter who has always been in this calligraphy and painting recently, including Donglin Party poems and insinuations about current affairs, especially dare to arrange Wei Gonggong, isn't this a bold ambition.

Ling Zongqi, you should go for a run, Dongchang means that this person should not be alive..."

Outside the camera, Cao Xuan simply closed his eyes, and slowly listened to Wang Zhiwen's lines with a little enjoyment.

The voice is full, the tone is calm and powerful, the cadence is up and down, and the words are pleasant to the ear. It not only has a unique rhythm, but also fits the scene very naturally. It really uses the lines to act.

Wang Zhiwen's line skills are recognized in the industry as strong.

The 10-minute monologue in "Black Ice" is regarded as a classic by countless people.

Liu Tianwang co-starred with him, and was amazed by Wang Zhiwen's lines. The veteran actor Wang Jinsong commented, "You don't need to watch his plays, just close your eyes and listen to them, and you can hear the tricks."

Although these words are a bit exaggerated, Cao Xuan feels that the charm of this man's lines is really unique in the industry.

Cao Xuan thought he was afraid to compete with this actor in acting, but he didn't think he would be too far behind, except for his lines, he had no choice but to bow down.

He once asked Lao Wang how he practiced his lines, and he learned that he loves reciting since he was a child. He has been a voice actor for many years and also acted in dramas. He has honed his skills little by little for decades.

Of course, talent and a strong magnetic voice are also very important elements.

After Wang Zhiwen finished playing a part of the play, Cao Xuan gave him a thumbs up, and Qin Hao next to him also showed a benefited expression.

Old Wang smiled reservedly, touched the fake beard on his upper lip, and sat in a chair with a relaxed body. The rest was performed by Cao Xuan and Qin Hao, and he acted off-screen.

This is the second time for Cao Xuan to play Shen Lian, and he has a deep grasp of this role. It is not an exaggeration to say that he can change his state at any time and enter the scene in a second.

But Qin Hao is not bad, no matter how you say it, he is a frequent guest of Cannes actor, and one of the Mesozoic acting schools recognized by later generations.

Cao Xuan especially thinks that this guy is very suitable to play the villain, that slightly evil face looks forward with some crazy eyes, which makes people have a creepy feeling.

This is also the reason why Cao Xuan asked Qin Hao to play the villain, he thought Qin Hao could play that kind of "bad" in his bones.

"Embroidery Spring Knife 2" started filming for two weeks, and the two played a lot of scenes, and gradually cultivated some tacit understanding. Although there were no direct lines and dialogues, the eye movements were very good.

Speaking of which, some of the starring lineup of "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" are not well-known, but their acting skills are really good.

Especially the two from Class 96 of the Chinese Opera. Although Cao Xuan knew it well, he was still quite pleasantly surprised.

I thought that the thing that contributed to this cooperation, Nigong, also felt that I had face, and thought that my old classmates gave me face, and I was not in vain to help me speak.

In addition, Cao Xuan was also surprised by Zeng Dameiren, who played cleanly and neatly, wrote and played well, and was heroic and tender, which really shined.

On the contrary, the heroine Fan Xiaopang is indeed stronger than the original version of Da Mi Mi, but overall she is still the most crotchless among the actors.

Although Bei Zhai is not as likable as Ding Baiying, but Fan Xiaopang's acting skills are indeed a weakness.

It may not be obvious at ordinary times, but compared with Cao Xuan and other elites in the industry, it is still significantly worse.

Especially Nishinomiya Niangniang, who is also an actress, the contrast is extremely obvious.

Although Zeng Damei does not have many actual combats, she has a master's degree in Chinese opera performance, and she has a thorough understanding of theory. Students also often tutor and teach performances. They browse and comment on various dramas and movies. They have a deep understanding and understanding of performances. .

Don't look at many actors who act a lot, but they just act without thinking about it, and their work is programmed, which has limited increase in their professional capabilities.

Zeng Damei hasn't acted much, but she thinks about acting every day. Whenever she gets the role right and has good acting experience, her level is very high.

Cao Xuan personally thinks that West Palace is better than East Palace purely in terms of mastery of acting skills.

Hu Jing's talent is not bad, but sometimes she can't put all her emotions and concentration into the performance.

This is especially the case in the past two years. Empress Dowager Donggong has put a lot of energy outside of acting. Acting is not a joke, but it is not as pure and true as before.

In short, actors have become a sideline.

If she didn't come across scripts like "When a Man Is in Love" and "The Two of Us" that she likes or are of excellent quality, Hu Jing would not try to squeeze herself, and naturally she would not be able to exert her full strength.

In contrast, Zeng Damei's mind is not so complicated. Apart from school and home, she only occasionally goes out to film.

And because I am a teacher, I often have extremely high requirements on the performance attitude of the students, and even myself. I am very serious about filming, and I am willing to think about the role carefully.

For example, in "Xiu Chun Knife 2", Nishigong Niangniang wrote nearly [-] characters in Ding Baiying's biography alone, more characters than the character script given to her in the script.

Seeing her sorting out the fabricated characters' experiences, Cao Xuan felt that it was enough to make Ding Baiying's series of extra films.

Cao Xuan asked himself, he tended that Zeng Damei's future artistic achievements might be higher than Hu Jing's.

But this is not sure.

After all, Hu Jing's background is not bad, and her reputation is even greater, which has a special influence bonus. If she meets a play she likes, she will act desperately, and then it will be a hit, and she will get a prize and be soft.

After all, the East Palace now has a Hundred Flowers Queen in its hands, but the West Palace doesn't even have a decent film and television award nomination.

This scene took less than three hours to arrange other scenes, and Cao Xuan and the others got a chance to rest for more than half an hour.

Back in the rest area, Wang Zhiwen stretched his old waist, lightly hammered his waist, and then did a few stretching exercises. The shooting intensity of "Xiu Chun Knife 2" was not small, and there were also play training from time to time.

For a middle-aged man like Lao Wang who is not confused and has basically no experience in acting before, working longer hours will make him feel a little tired.

What's more, Lao Wang was famous for being romantic when he was young, and he was a man of many battles, so it was inevitable that he would lose money.

In contrast, Cao Tianwang, who has been exercising and paying attention to health preservation, is much more relaxed. Sometimes he goes out to work overtime with Nishinomiya Niangniang, and he is still full of energy the next day.

"Mr. Wang, some of my Xiangjiang medicinal wines are good things. They can nourish the kidneys and strengthen the body. I will send you two bottles later."

"Okay, I'll send you the address later."

Wang Zhiwen was very familiar with Cao Xuan, and he was not polite to Cao Xuan, mainly because he knew that Cao Xuan was rich, so what he had in his hands must be good things.

Of course, he doesn't prostitute Cao Xuan's things for nothing, and usually teaches Cao Xuan his own experience in lines, and this little medicinal wine can be regarded as Cao Tianwang's training.

"Mr. Cao, is this wine expensive? I have a friend..."

Qin Hao couldn't help but leaned over cheekily, and Cao Xuan gave him a surprised look.

"No way, Haozi, I remember you are a few years younger than me, why are you so young..."

"Ahem, I asked for my friend."

Qin Hao scratched his head, making friends out of thin air, he is actually worthwhile, but men, when they hear such good things, they can't help but give it a try.

Cao Xuan actually understands this kind of mentality. His wine is actually more about replenishing qi and restoring vitality. It is a health-care wine that can be used by normal people.

"It's fine if you don't have money, just keep filming, and I'll give you two bottles... my friend."

"Thank you, Mr. Cao."

Qin Hao was very happy, and Wang Zhiwen also came over and asked curiously: "What are the raw materials, can we match them ourselves?"

"It's useless to give you the recipe, and don't ask for the ingredients, anyway, I won't give you fake wine."

Cao Xuan was noncommittal. His medicinal wine was said to be sent by Xiangjiang, but it was actually a cover. In fact, he asked a master to make it, and then went to Southeast Asia to collect materials to make the wine.

Qin Hao was still a little dazed, but Wang Zhiwen had already figured it out, so he stopped talking. Instead, he unfolded the magazine in his hand, browsed through the news, and let out a sigh.

"Zhao Benshan is in charge of Liaozu, why is he still playing football?"

"Where? Where?"

Old Zhao's nationality is not covered, Wang Zhiwen let out a soft cry, and Qin Hao and the few people around him were startled.

"Mr. Zhao is so rich, how can he still play football?"

Cao Xuan has a lot of work, and he basically keeps his laptop with him when he is resting. He is waiting to turn it on. Hearing this, he replied.

"Don't underestimate others. Mr. Zhao is a well-known entrepreneur in the Northeast, making TV dramas and investing in theaters, mining, hotels, and real estate."

In 2005, Internet information had not yet reached that level of transparency, plus Lao Zhao's basic activities were in the Northeast, and he was relatively low-key before.

If they hadn't made friends or deliberately searched, many people would not know the net worth of this Spring Festival Gala sketch king.

However, the scandal with Liaozu this time can be regarded as giving Lao Zhao some limelight across the country.

"Mr. Cao, I remember that you are also a football fan. Do you also want to set up a club for fun?"

Qin Hao asked curiously, there are so many stars, even if many people don't know the specific net worth of Cao Xuan, they also know that he is not an ordinary businessman, at least he will not be inferior to Lao Zhao.

It is not new for domestic and foreign entrepreneurs to invest in football. They are all a little curious whether this young rich man will follow suit.

"Pull it down, Chinese football is too deep to play."

Cao Xuan replied flatly, he has money and can’t spend it, so donating more to hope primary schools, helping the orphans, the disabled, the old and the young to accumulate virtue for his family.

Just like Lao Zhao, regardless of the current scene, he would run away in less than half a year after becoming the master of Liaozu. If he was not smart, relying on his fame and not spending much money, he might be cheated.

Moreover, Cao Xuan has always felt that the investment environment of domestic football clubs is not good in Feng Shui, for example——

Wanda's Lao Wang invested heavily in the football industry, but was forced to break his arms to survive, withdrawing from the football field on a large scale, and then turned the corner.

Evergrande's Xu Belt built the Chinese Super League dynasty, but ended up with sky-high debts.

Suning's boss Zhang became more and more troubled, so that just after winning the Chinese Super League championship, the club disappeared, creating a football miracle.

Shenhua's former boss Zhu played football for several years, and Ninetowns Games went from being a top game company on the Internet to the point where it almost went bankrupt.

Not to mention other small and medium-sized enterprises. The better ones just went downhill, and the worse ones disappeared.

Of course, there is one thing to say, these corporate troubles are actually mainly caused by the economic and industry environment, or the internal development of the company.

In fact, it has little to do with football, even far-fetched, but Cao Xuan may have colored glasses, and he still feels unlucky.

Therefore, for the sake of his blood pressure and financial luck, Cao Xuan felt that he should refuse to gamble, refuse to take drugs, and refuse to invest in football...

"The domestic football environment is really not good."

A few football fans next to him nodded their heads. They lost in the final of the Asian Cup last year, or after the 2002 World Cup. There were more and more messes in domestic football, and the old fans sighed when they mentioned it.

However, there are also other people who suggested: "It's not good in China, the boss can invest abroad, buy a wealthy family, and sign Beckham, wouldn't it be flattering?"

"Pull it down, the water in foreign countries is deeper."

Cao Xuan sighed, investing in domestic clubs, even if they lost money, it was more or less a contribution to Chinese football or fans.

Investing in foreign clubs, in case something happens, they won't be able to sell them once they are sanctioned. Foreign devils eat people and don't spit out their bones...

Seeing that Cao Xuan was not interested, the topic quickly turned to this year's Champions League,

Ignoring this group of fanatical fans, Cao Xuan browsed the web on his own. After a while, a familiar scent of mint appeared behind Cao Xuan.

Without looking back, Cao Xuan knew that Empress Xigong was coming. On the one hand, he was familiar with Zeng Li's smell.

What's more, the gentlemen of the film crew don't have fragrance on their bodies, and only girls may wear some perfume and cosmetics.

And the whole crew had the guts to play computer and come over to watch the women, Zeng Li, and Fan Xiaopang, whose status in the company had increased, barely counted as half of them, but Nishigong Niangniang was here, so she didn't dare to make a fool of herself.

"What are you looking at, Douban?"

Zeng Li glanced curiously, the position and tone were just right, familiar but not intimate, this is also the state of the two crew getting along.

Although it was a bit deceiving, more than half of the crew felt that the two of them were not simple.

"Didn't I say before that I want to acquire a film and television information data website, and I'm investigating it now."

This is not a commercial secret, and Cao Xuan didn't hide it, so he explained it directly.

As I said before, rating information recommendation communities and ticketing websites like Douban and Maoyan are an indispensable part of Cao Xuan's entertainment landscape.

Now the movie market is not booming, and online ticketing can be done, but it will take a few years to fully develop.

but.Comment and recommendation communities like Douban can already start to focus on layout.

This is an important platform that is close to grasping the word-of-mouth ratings of film and television. If you don't occupy it and let people take it first, you will have to be restrained everywhere.

In April 2005, Douban had just been established for a few days, and the number of posts and users were very few. Cao Xuan walked around, and it was not as lively as the comment section of his blog.

But this is not bad. There are very few similar professional film and television websites. They are basically sub-sections of Tianya or other forums. The more famous Mtime.com will not appear until next year.

Cao Xuan has been hesitating whether to directly acquire Douban Investment to let it develop, or to build a new website by himself.

Investing in Douban is the most trouble-free, but he doesn't like Douban's behavior very much, and it may cause disputes with the founders.

Cao Xuan doesn't care about Penguin because his focus is not on the Internet, but he will inevitably intervene in a platform that is related to his entertainment strategy, which is why Cao Xuan bought a majority of shares in a certain point.

He must have the absolute right to speak, so as not to cause conflicts with the managers!
A certain point is okay, Cao Xuan pays more attention to the various copyright adaptations of web articles, and does not particularly care about the development of web articles themselves. To a certain extent, they are complementary to the management team of a certain point, and there is almost no contradiction.

Douban is different. Cao Xuan personally doesn’t like or even dislike some of Douban’s ethos. If it is a product under his banner, it must be radically reformed.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult not to form a conflict with the founder team. With Cao Xuan's temper and capital, 99% of the other party will leave.

But what I want to explain is that although Douban's atmosphere is not good, the founder team is indeed an important key to development. If they are kicked out, Douban will not only become empty, but it will also hurt muscles and bones, and it will not be good for Caoxuan investors. reputation.

Purchasing Douban was originally to save trouble, but if it went through a mess like this, it would be even more troublesome.

In particular, Douban has just started, which is equivalent to a new station that is feeling its way. Building a new station will only delay some time. With the financial support of Cao Xuan and the guidance of golden fingers, it is easy to catch up.

The only difficulty is finding someone to do this new website.

Cao Xuan thought of a person, who is still struggling to start a business and is just in its infancy. I believe his team can bring Cao Xuan a very good "New Douban".

Wang Xing, the founder of well-known online platforms such as Meituan, Xiaonei, Dianping, and Maoyan.

At present, he has not been back to China for long, and he is focusing on social networking sites. Cao Xuan knows him because Wang Xing's first website [Duo Duo You] was invested by Cao Xuan's Sunshine Venture Capital.

This website was not profitable, Wang Xing was not reconciled, and started a new project, which was still invested by Sunshine Venture Capital.

Let's put it this way, Wang Xing is in Sunshine Venture Capital, and Cao Xuan hand-picked the priority to invest in entrepreneurs.

Sunshine Ventures now owns shares in Penguin and Warner Music Group, plus other large and small projects, with total assets of several billion yuan.

Generally speaking, Cao Xuan doesn't ask about the small projects of millions or tens of millions, and only looks at the follow-up ledger, while Wang Xing is the key target, no matter how big or small his projects are, they can go straight to heaven.

In Sunshine Venture Capital, Wang Xing's priority ranks in the top ten, not only focusing on the target, but also a high level of confidentiality.

Sunshine Ventures is now considered a large institution in the domestic investment community, and outstanding talents must be kept secret, so as not to be intercepted by others.

Now, Wang Xing is preparing to tinker with Xiaonei, but Cao Xuan is not optimistic about the prospects of this project.

Penguin Blog now has the two characteristics of blog and Qzone, and has even begun to partially refine other markets, crowding out most of the social market.

Therefore, Cao Xuan intentionally asked Wang Xing to come over to help him build Douban, exercise his ability, and accumulate experience and contacts. After two or three years, the website will be on the right track and a mature takeover team will be formed.

At that time, when Wang Xing wanted to start a business again, Cao Xuan was also very supportive, and he would be a wave of angel investors.

It is estimated that Meituan will appear at that time...

Cao Xuan plans to go back and talk to Wang Xing. The prospect of "Douban" is still good, and the founding of Maoyan also means that Wang Xing is interested in and understands this aspect.

The previous two projects received mediocre responses, and Wang Xing is now in a period of depression and confusion, and the future of the Xiaonei network he started is unclear.

Although Wang Xing is notoriously stubborn, otherwise he would not have suffered repeated defeats on the road to entrepreneurship, but as long as the price is sufficient, Mr. Cao believes that he can still persuade the other party.

If it really doesn't work, without Wang Xing, there are other practitioners, and there are many Internet giants who haven't started yet. Cao Xuanxuan doesn't remember much, but it is definitely enough.

As for the name of the new website, Douban will definitely not be able to use it, but Cao Xuan likes the name [Time.com].

He planned to go back and check whether he was registered or not, and if not, he would grab the wool.

Cao Xuan didn't talk too much about these thoughts with Zeng Li, she didn't understand and wasn't interested, and when she heard Cao Xuan talking about a bunch of jargon, she immediately walked away to chat with Da Mimi.

"Embroidered Spring Knife 2" has limited actresses, Fan Xiaopang doesn't have many scenes with her, but they are big honeys, they play master and apprentice, and Zeng Li likes to chat with her during breaks.

Especially knowing that Da Mimi is about to take the college entrance examination, and the teacher's occupational disease is onset, so I take the time to supervise Da Mimi's cultural class.

It's a pity that Da Mimi has already taken the Beidian art exam and passed it successfully, otherwise Zeng Damei might have fooled her into passing the exam and becoming Liu Tianxian's junior sister.

Facing the "favor" of Empress Nishinomiya, Da Mimi was both flattered and a little apprehensive at the same time.

She hadn't forgotten that she was a member of the East Palace party, and now she had a hot fight with the West Palace empress every day. If Hu Jing knew this, how would she explain it.

But let her sternly reject Zeng Li, even if she dared not say so.

I can only honestly be at the mercy of the empress of the West Palace, call the empress of the East Palace at night to "please be safe" to express my loyalty, and be sandwiched between the east and west palaces every day.
