Chapter 447 What, how did you know I bought a private jet?
At the beginning of September, the Japanese propaganda ended, but Cao Xuan and others did not return to China, but diverted to Xiangjiang.

His private jet has arrived!

In fact, Cao Xuan's private jet was delivered as early as April. The reason for the delay was mainly due to the hiring of relevant flight attendants and going through formalities.

Especially the procedures, which are relatively strict and cumbersome in China. Later, Cao Xuan hung on Xiangjiang's side and passed it smoothly.

Before Cao Xuan came to Xiangjiang to do publicity, he also took care of it through his contacts during the period, and the procedures were sped up. When he came back from Japan, everything was done.

On September 9nd, Cao Xuan saw his private plane at Xiangjiang Airport - Fanxing/Dongxi

The two names, Cao Xuan, have not been finalized yet, and Fanxing is self-evident, and Dongxi refers to the plane traveling from east to west or from west to east, and refers to the purpose of his private jet, alluding to the Second Palace of East and West.

But for this stalk, he can only think about it secretly in his heart, and if he really says it, he is afraid that the assassins of the two palaces will kill him.

Cao Xuan's private jet, Gulfstream G550, is currently the world's top long-range business jet, with a range of 11000 kilometers, a maximum cruising altitude of 15000 meters, and a maximum passenger capacity of 18.

The plane is equipped with 2 pilots and 2 to 4 flight attendants, all of whom are excellent staff hired from major airlines.

Cao Xuan paid them very high salaries every year, and the lowest salary was half higher than their original company’s high salary. Under the huge amount of money, the conditions were excellent professional standards, on-call around the clock and strict confidentiality regulations.
The business of private jets is mainly for Cao Xuan himself, but the East and West Palaces must be used at any time when needed. Others are not easily borrowed unless it is important. After all, it is quite expensive to fly.

Artists have a special job, and sometimes they may not be used once in a few months, or they may fly every day.

The time is not good at all, so the crew must be on standby at all times, not to mention keeping secrets. Cao Xuan didn't want to see a flight attendant's post on the end of the sky breaking the gossip about the plane one day.

The first time I landed on the plane, the crew met with the boss, and then the flight attendant gave Cao Xuan and others a tour and introduction.

The entire aircraft cabin consists of the cockpit, lounge area, galley area and lavatory.

Needless to say, in the cockpit, in the rest area, there are several single armrest leather sofas and a four-seater leather couch that can sleep two people.

The couch has a certain privacy setting and can be turned into a relatively private small bedroom at any time.

The rest area is also equipped with leisure and entertainment functions, including various real-time magazines and audio-visual equipment, and can also be connected to the aircraft network and power supply without delaying the Internet.

At the same time, it is connected to the kitchen area. As long as the ingredients and practices allow, the flight attendants can deliver delicious food and drinks at any time.

The bathroom has all the basic functions. Although it is not possible for passengers to take a bath like at home, the shower is no problem.

No matter the interior of the aircraft, the floor, the sofa, the tabletop, the counter, the kitchen, the bathroom, etc., the materials and colors of the entire aircraft were selected by Cao Xuan himself with reference to the opinions of the Second Palace of the East and West. It is luxurious, elegant, exquisite and generous.

After a series of shopping, Cao Xuan and Hu Jing nodded in satisfaction, and Hu Jing even took a picture with the camera, planning to turn around to show Zeng Li, and show off to other girlfriends by the way.

Fan Xiaopang and the others have long since become numb, and they have seen a lot of scenes when they went abroad with Cao Xuan in the past two days.

A few days ago in Japan, they followed Cao Xuan to a famous top restaurant in Tokyo for dinner.

The head of Dongbao hosted a banquet, and several Japanese chaebols and high-ranking officials attended. I heard that there were even members of the royal family. Cao Xuan, a world superstar, still has a lot of fans in Japan, and many people want to get acquainted with him some.

Fan Xiaopang and the others didn't understand who these big shots were taller and who was lower, but the meal was really eye-opening.

The chefs are all kinds of Japanese immortals, such as bluefin tuna, top Wagyu beef, white truffle, etc. The price of those rare ingredients made them dumbfounded.

Fan Xiaopang and others also consider themselves rich in China, but watching these people eat half a house for a meal, they still can't help but feel the unevenness of the world.

Of course, even Cao Xuan was not particularly used to this kind of luxury, and when he returned home he would show that he was thrifty, and that he was not in the same league as these cannibalistic capitalists.

Fan Xiaopang and others were somewhat relieved to restore the original, but in less than two days, they saw Cao Xuan's luxurious private jet.

"Diligence and Thrift"

Sun Honglei quietly asked Zhang Chong to inquire about it, and Assistant Zhang did not hide it from him, and made a [four] gesture at him.

"4000?"

Liang Jiahui, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help asking, Zhang Chong shook his head, and Wu Zhenyu swallowed.

"4 billion?"

"It's about the same. I don't know the details. It's very complicated. There are not only the money to buy the plane, but also taxes, as well as procedures, airport leasing, crew salaries, etc. The boss didn't say anything, and we didn't dare to ask in detail. "

Everyone was silent, the price seemed unthinkable to them, let alone buying a "tasteless" private jet.

What is even more frightening is that with Cao Xuan's character, he can spend and dare to spend this money, which means that people don't care about the expenditure at all.

When Fan Xiaopang looked at Cao Xuan, his eyes burst out like fire. If Hu Jing wasn't by his side, she might have posted it all.

Not to mention Fan Xiaopang, even Sun Honglei, Wu Zhenyu and others were shocked. If Boss Cao's taste changed and he offered an olive branch, he might just give in half-heartedly.

The only one who can keep awake is Liang Jiahui. After so many years of filming, he doesn't earn much, but his net worth is not low, so he doesn't have to bend his waist for it.

The flight distance from Xiangjiang to the capital was neither short nor long, and the other people had complicated expressions, while Cao Xuan and Hu Jing were happily experiencing the various functions of the plane.

When they arrived at the Beijing Airport, the two reluctantly left the plane.

It's not that they are worthless, whoever gets a "new toy" should not play with it, let alone this "toy" is extraordinary.

After Hu Jing got off the plane, she started to contact her girlfriends to show off. Cao Xuan didn't hold back, thought for a while, and called Wu Jing, Mr. Zhou, Xiao Zhou and others to show off.

"Congratulations, "New World" was shot well."

"What, how do you know I bought a private jet?"

"It's broken 2 million, and you guys will treat me to dinner later."

"What, you want to come and play on my private jet?"

"Brother Xuan is really awesome, the number one Hong Kong movie."

"Okay, let's go abroad together in my private jet someday."

Wu Jing: "..."

Mr. Zhou: "..."

Xiao Zhou:"……"

When did we mention private jets?

Also, when did you buy a private jet?

After making a round of phone calls and bragging a lot, Cao Xuan put down the phone contentedly.

It's not in line with his personality to publicize this kind of thing to the outside world. He must keep a low profile, but he has been keeping it in his heart, and he is more or less incomprehensible.

Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent, there is no way to pretend to be aggressive, and the excitement is greatly reduced.

So showing off with friends and colleagues in a small area is not high-profile, but also satisfies the psychology of showing off, the best of both worlds.

He specifically asked Fan Xiaopang and the others to follow him to Xiangjiang, and the publicity task was over, and he also asked Liang Jiahui and several Xiangjiang actors to come to the capital to participate in the celebration party.

In the end, it was Cao Xuan who wanted to have a few "lovers" around him when he took a private jet for the first time, to help him find out how Big Boss Cao felt.

.........

Cao Xuan and his friends talked about the matter of the private jet, and just clicked it. As for the outside world, it is impossible to hide it from the outside world, but they will not deliberately publicize it and keep a low profile.

Cao Xuan is not like Lao Zhao. Lao Zhao's private jet has more symbolic meaning and mediocre practicability, and it violates his simple "farmer" personality.

The latter is an important reason for widespread discussion outside, so it is said that "Old Zhao" is gone.

Although Cao Xuan is also from a peasant family, he is more of an inspirational character who is self-made and self-reliant, and the imprint of "farmers" on his body is not so strong.

Even as a national idol and one of the few world stars who have gone abroad, Cao Xuan belongs to the trend-setting kind in the entertainment industry.

The gang of "trendy men" in Hong Kong and Taiwan are just imitations of European and American models. Cao Xuan has really traveled to Europe and the United States, and even appeared in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Can't stick to the edge.

Moreover, Cao Xuan works all over the place, and buying a private jet has practical purposes, and it is not purely for showing off his wealth in the eyes of the outside world.

The only thing that may cause controversy is that the price of this plane is not usually high. The outside world's doubts about Cao Xuan's assets may have to double again.

But this Cao Xuan is also used to it. Whenever there is a big fluctuation in him or his company, the outside world will ask how much money he has, but they can't figure out the real number.

For a while, he was a rich man of tens of billions, for a while he was a small boss of several billions, for a while he was a white glove of a certain family, and his actual net worth was only a few hundred million.

Over time, the people who eat melons are also confused. Anyway, they only know that Cao Xuan is rich, but no one knows how rich he is.

The media hadn't caught the wind yet, and Cao Xuan didn't bother to bother with them. He put the matter of the private jet behind him and took the "New World" crew to the celebration party.

This time "New World" performed extremely well at the box office, broke a series of records, and left a name in film history.

Such a movie has greatly improved the company and Cao Xuan personally, especially Fanxing has just confirmed its leading position, and needs such achievements and aura to continuously consolidate and spread its influence.

Of course, because of the convenience of review, "New World" did not have stars participating in the investment, but only participated in the release.

But the outside world is not stupid. It basically defaults to Fanxing’s movie. Before Fanxing didn’t say anything, it was because they were afraid that something would happen in the middle. Now that the movie is about to be released, Fanxing simply stopped acting and directly contracted the celebration party of "New World". .

Sanye Han of China Film Group, Boss Yinghuangyang, Cheng Long, and Du Qifeng all came, and when they saw Cao Xuan smiling, they couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.

No way, "New World" is too profitable.

Not to mention, just counting the box office in the mainland of 2.2-2.3 million, the producer's 38% share is more than 8500 million yuan.

Xiangjiang Company under Cao Xuan gets 50%, and Cao Xuan personally shares 5% of the total income. That is to say, the remaining companies share 45%, which is nearly 4000 million RMB.

And the cumulative investment of their companies is only about 3000 million, and this income alone will directly pay back the cost.

Counting the box office and copyright income of various channels in Hong Kong, Japan and other places, a few conservative companies can still earn 5000 million yuan. After deducting taxes, they are all pure profits.

With such a high income, it is not enough to treat Cao Xuan as an ancestor, but everyone is smiling.

Especially Han Sanye, who smiles like a flower on his face. China Film has a lot of layouts, and it not only earns box office and copyright, but also profits from theaters and distribution.

"New World" can't be said to be the most profitable of China Film over the years, but it is definitely one of them.

Cao Xuan was also very happy. He took 3000 million yuan for "New World", which is equivalent to half of the total cost. He didn't pay a penny. He took 55% of the share for nothing, and the income exceeded [-] million yuan.

And like China Film, Fanxing also has a lot of layout, distribution and theaters have also made a lot of money, and it has also improved Fanxing's soft power.

Maybe China Film and the others made a lot of money, but Cao Xuan definitely made the most money...

This successful cooperation has made several companies want to have a closer relationship with Fanxing. It is no exaggeration to say that Cao Xuan throws another project, as long as it is not visible to the naked eye, they will immediately follow the investment and spend money.

Cao Xuan didn't completely shut them out either, it's unrealistic for the film industry to be independent.

For some particularly important projects, Cao Xuan is confident that he will make money, and he can shut out his collaborators.

But for many projects, he is not sure whether he can make money, so he needs to find some partners to share the pressure, and if a movie wants to make money, it often needs help from other channels.

For example, "New World" did well at the box office in Hong Kong this time. Although the quality of the film is the top priority, the media resources and contacts of Boss Yinghuangyang and others also played a big role.

Apart from other things, a non-pure Hong Kong film broke the box office record in Hong Kong. With the personality of those Hong Kong people, it can be seen that there are more praises than curses.

However, what Cao Xuan valued the most was China Film Group's Sanye Han. Not only China Film Group had money and theaters, but official resources were the most important thing.

For example, Cao Xuan wanted to shoot the big scene of the Three Kingdoms. Through China Film, Cao Xuan could call in real troops to help with the group performance.

But if Fanxing contacts the troops by himself, many things will become complicated and extremely difficult.

Sanye Han has always wanted Cao Xuan to make a big move. Cao Xuan planned to take advantage of the aftermath of "New World" and have a note with China Film Group.

It would be embarrassing in case Boss Wu ran to look for Mr. Han and the other party agreed immediately.

This is also a bit of a headache for Cao Xuan. He does not have the exclusive copyright of the Three Kingdoms. If he shoots the Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms, someone will definitely think about the popularity of Guandu. Even if there are stars to distinguish, the key materials will be robbed.

If someone else finished filming the battle at Guandu, there would be no need for Cao Xuan and Fanxing to film Guandu again.

Cao Xuan knows from his heart that it is relatively difficult to complete the creation of the Three Kingdoms universe, but relying on the strength of Fanxing and China Film Group, it can more or less deter many companies, and finally grab some good materials.

Sure enough, Sanye Han's eyes lit up when he heard that Cao Xuan wanted to make the Three Kingdoms production.

"Three Kingdoms is good, don't be afraid to spend money, you don't have enough there, China Film has it, let's shoot according to the Chinese benchmark, and create a Chinese "Lord of the Rings"."

Han Sanye became more and more excited as he talked. The boss of a state-owned enterprise like him is not afraid of spending money, and he just wants to develop the film market in the mainland. If a big company like Fanxing is willing to take the lead, he can cooperate with anything.

"Don't worry."

Cao Xuan comforted Sanye Han dumbfoundedly, and then expressed his thoughts. The experienced Sanye Han was thoughtful.

"The battle is definitely up for grabs, but the personal biography, the average person may not be able to hold back the scene..."

"This is really worrying."

To make historical biographical films, stars are needed to attract the box office. For example, Zhao Yun, only a star of Cao Xuan's level can make it possible to become famous and have a box office of over [-] million.

But in this way, it would be more embarrassing for Cao Xuan, who played Zhao Yun, to play Chibi again, because Zhao Yun in Chibi is a supporting role, just Zhuge Liang's bodyguard.

Even if Cao Xuan was willing to be a green leaf, it would be too wasteful. If he didn't want to waste it, he would have to change it and let Zhao Yun show off in Chibi, but this changed the entire plot of the Three Kingdoms.

"I can't chew more than I can. I suggest that it's better to shoot the main battle to gain fame. If there are popular characters, let's customize a biographical movie."

In fact, Cao Xuan also knew which option was more beneficial, but he was a bit obsessed with the authorities, or he was greedy. Once Han Sanye reminded him, he calmed down a lot.

"When I went to Japan this time, I also learned about the market there. The Japanese are so fascinated by the Three Kingdoms. I think if the filming is good, the box office in Japan may be better than ours."

"I also heard that they like the Three Kingdoms very much. I participated in the Sino-Japanese cultural exchange meeting before, and when two old men talked about Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang, they were very sensible."

"Many games in Japan are based on the Three Kingdoms. It is not an exaggeration to say that many celebrities from the Three Kingdoms are more famous in Japan than their domestic celebrities."

Cao Xuan didn't just write and draw these days. Since he was interested in planning the Japanese market, he naturally did some simple research and understanding.

"I took a look at the popular stories of the Three Kingdoms in Japan. Chibi and Hulaoguan are at the forefront. Our country's Three Kingdoms War Lu Bu and Chibi are also the most famous. I want to shoot from these two plots. Let's do it."

Sanye Han nodded. He also felt that these two stories were good, well-known, and there were enough famous scenes and popular characters.

Since Fan Xing took the lead in leading the film, Cao Xuan must participate in the filming, Sanye Han looked at Cao Xuan and smiled.

"Who do you want to play?"

"Zhou Gongjin."

Cao Xuan puffed out his chest. With our looks, it would be a waste of talent if we don't act as a handsome and handsome governor.

Besides, there is little Joe...

Han Sanye sized Cao Xuan up, and saw his apparently muscular figure for fighting scenes recently, and couldn't help but tease him.

"Although the role of Zhou Yu is good, I think your stature and domineering temperament are more suitable for Lu Bu."

Lu Bu?

Cao Xuan didn't particularly like this "family slave with three surnames", and he never thought about playing him, but when Mr. Han mentioned this, a domineering image appeared in his mind.

Wearing a purple gold crown with three-prong hair on the head, a Xichuan red cotton hundred-flower robe on the body, a chain armor with a beast face swallowing the head, and an exquisite lion belt around the waist, he has a handsome appearance and a burly figure. , the sound was like thunder.

"Come here, take my Diaochan...cough cough, Chitu Malai..."

Cao Xuan believes that an actor still needs to have a backbone, and Lu Bu's character design is really unpleasant. He still prefers Zhou Gongjin, and the mast and scull are wiped out in ashes while talking and laughing.

Of course, this matter is just the intention of the two people. Cao Xuan is not completely sure whether to film or not, and which plot to film.

But it is foreseeable that no matter which one is filmed first, Cao Xuan will definitely be the number one male lead, giving the film series a name to the greatest extent.

It is impossible for Cao Xuan to be willful with an investment of hundreds of millions. Although he has a goal in his heart, if the reality does not allow it, he may not be willful.

But no matter how it changes, as long as the selection of materials for these two stories remains the same, they will basically remain those characters.

Chibi, Cao Cao's age is not suitable, Cao Xuan can choose Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu.

At Hulaoguan, Cao Xuan can try the youth version of Cao Cao. In addition, Lu Bu is also good, and Liu Bei is also good, but there is too little to play.

Cao Xuan and Han Sanye had a lot of fun chatting, and many film and television company bosses who came to join in the fun were also ready to move.

The two of them have been whispering in private for so long, there is probably a cooperation, and everyone must want to share the pie, even if they can't, they can just drink some soup.

Wang Laoer who came to congratulate Huayi, Emperor Yang's boss, Xingmeiqin's boss, Huayi's boss Dong, and even Guangguang's old Wang, all had quick thoughts and planned to find a relationship in private after a while.

If it is really a good project, get on board quickly.

This time "New World" was too successful, plus the previous few movies, Fanxing Movie's name has been established, and everyone wants to hug Boss Cao's thigh.

After the private exchange, Cao Xuan, Han Sanye, Boss Yang and other producers were in the middle, and Fan Xiaopang and several main creators were on the left and right.

Everyone picked up a hammer and smashed a small desk-sized [200000000] digital ice sculpture. The reporters in the audience frantically pressed the shutter, and the flashes illuminated the entire banquet hall as bright as day.

Afterwards, it was a question from a reporter, or the record-breaking impression as usual. Cao Xuan answered gracefully, knowing that a Hong Kong media reporter asked.

"Cao Sheng, you are also the operator of an entertainment company. As a boss, what do you think of the legal dispute between Ms. Huang Shengyi and Xinghui Company?"

Cao Xuan was taken aback for a moment before he realized that the reporter was asking about Huang Shengyi's contract termination incident that caused a lot of trouble in August.

There was a lot of news about this matter, especially since Huang Shengyi was backed by Yang Zi, who was hyping this matter crazily.

Disputes, accusations, bombardments, lawsuits, contract terminations and a series of related news, Huang Shengyi has not been in the "Hot Search" since August, not even "New World" is so popular.

"I don't have any special opinions. It's normal for an artist to have conflicts with the company. If you want to pay liquidated damages, you can just pay liquidated damages. If you think it's unfair, you can go to court. There's no need to pour dirty water on the old club."

Others cared about Young Master Yang, but Cao Xuan didn't care about him. Besides, what he said was polite, and it would be even worse if he said what was in his heart.

He is reluctant to pay several million liquidated damages, what kind of girls are in the entertainment circle...

It's not that Cao Xuan sympathizes with the capitalists, Master Xing really doesn't feel wronged about this matter.

"Kung Fu" made Huang Shengyi popular, and the resources it gave afterward were also good. Maybe the terms for newcomers were a bit harsh, but that's the case with any entertainment company.

As a result, Huang Shengyi accepted private work, this is not new in the industry, including Fanxing artists, it is not without similar situations, once in a while, the company will turn a blind eye.

But the premise is not to damage the company's interests. Master Xing set Huang Shengyi's line as a pure girl, but in the end she went to take a sexy photo of "Men's Dress".

Comparing my heart to my heart, if it were Liu Tianxian who did this, Cao Xuan would be so angry that he would hide her in the snow, even if it was covered with rice, it would not work.

At this point, a normal person just admits to being cowardly, and at least she is a popular star girl. It is impossible for Master Xing to hide her completely, and she will be fine after two years of delay.

And Huang Shengyi didn't want to have sex with Master Xing because of his elder brother Yang Dashao, so that's okay, it's easy to get together and break up.

As a result, the liquidated damages were not paid, and Xuezang was publicly accused of all kinds of overlord clauses, and rumors were spread that a group of Beijing princes would let Master Xing kill him if he came to the capital.

That is to say, Master Xing can't stretch his hands so far, and he doesn't have a personality that likes to fight with others.

If someone disgusts Cao Xuan so much, and the other party can still hang out in the circle, it means that his surname Cao has no ability...

The reporters were all very excited. Cao Xuan was standing in public, and he was one of the few artists who made a public statement in the past month. The news material was available.

Cao Xuan was very calm, and greeted all the big shots and the main creative team to get together, but everyone didn't take it seriously.

The big brother knows it well, the people below can't figure out the background of Young Master Yang, they still know a thing or two.

Although many people's net worth may not be comparable to that of the other party's family, they are separated from each other like a mountain, and they don't fear each other, not to mention that Young Master Yang is not the head of the family.

As for the main creative team, except those who have nothing to do with them, most of them have confidence in Cao Xuan. Anyone who knows Cao Xuan knows how stable he is. If he is not sure, he will never speak.

Cao Xuan dared to speak, which meant that he didn't take the other party seriously. If it was really the grandson of the third generation who was widely rumored by the outside world, Cao Xuan would definitely not provoke the other party.
