China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 483 Madam, you don't want to...

Hong Kong, The Peninsula Hotel

This is the third time Cao Xuan has come to Xiangjiang to film. Cao Xuan is really considering whether to set up a formal company in Xiangjiang and organize some team members so that he can come to film in the future.

He can see that Xiangjiang is a big melting pot, and its history is very complicated. Many foreign magic-changing movies can be adapted into it, and the scale can be relatively liberal.

No way, many things in the mainland are not easy to pass the review. Xiangjiang is the easiest background to pass the review while retaining Chinese elements.

Moreover, Xiangjiang has a certain influence in the world, so it can export overseas without too much barrier.

If there is no accident, some urban film and television shootings of Fanxing Film and Television in the future may be located in Xiangjiang. Having a relatively fixed company can save a lot of trouble.

Some people even suggested to Cao Xuan that he hoped that he would invest in Golden Harvest, ATV and even TVB. While opening Fanxing’s media channels in Asia, he would also have a TV platform that could avoid large-scale censorship in the mainland and stably produce and export Chinese TV dramas.

However, Cao Xuan was hesitant, so Golden Harvest was fine. Although he didn't have a lot of foundation, fortunately, the price was not too expensive. Although it was a bit troublesome, it was not a loss overall.

ATV and TVB are different. The price is high, there are many bad things, and there are various internal strife, which are good, but they are also thorns. Cao Xuan personally is not optimistic.

With this money, Cao Xuan might as well invest in Netflix and follow the streaming route.

However, there are a lot of things that Netflix is ​​forcing, and the amount of capital invested is not usually large. The most important thing is that it is difficult for Cao Xuan to get the master control.

Of course, it’s still a long way to say these things now. Netflix’s transition and downturn period have not yet come, so it’s not that investment can be invested.

Therefore, instead of worrying about Xiangjiang TV and Netflix, Cao Xuan is now more willing to use more power to Marvel.

In 2006, it was the early stage of Marvel's film strategy, and now it is holding copyright like Wall Street financing. As a well-known investor, Cao Xuan is also willing to add fire to Marvel's rise.

However, Cao Xuan is not interested in the copyright of those heroes, or his goal is not just the copyright, but the shares of Marvel.

Cao Xuan didn't have much cash in his hand, but he could still get out 1-2 million US dollars, which was a little crowded. Under the premise of not affecting the domestic layout, 3 million US dollars was not out of the question.

In addition, Warner Music Group is currently going public there. Thanks to the wonderful performance of Cao Xuan's "Legend", it has another popular superstar under its banner. The market is very optimistic about Warner Music Group, and its market value has soared.

The 2% stake that Cao Xuan acquired for US$ 10 million has now increased by at least 80%, nearly doubled. If he cashes out from the IPO, Cao Xuan is expected to get US$ 3-4 million in cash.

Although Cao Xuan is more optimistic about the short-term future of Warner Music Group, if compared with Marvel, Cao Xuan will choose the latter without hesitation.

By selling some shares in non-core industries, Cao Xuan can squeeze out nearly US$8 million in cash.

With such a large amount of money, it is hard to say that buying Marvel directly, but it can definitely smash Marvel.

Cao Xuan never thought of being able to control Marvel. Disney is the key to Marvel's rise. He just wants to control a part of the shares and follow Disney to eat meat.

Before "Iron Man" is released, it is his best opportunity to operate. When "Iron Man" becomes popular, everyone knows the potential of Marvel. Disney makes a big acquisition, and it will be too late for Cao Xuan to take advantage of it.

Cao Xuan never thought of becoming the king and hegemony in the American entertainment industry.

He knows better than anyone else the future development of the situation. To put it bluntly, Cao Xuan has worked so hard to build a country in the United States.

Either kneel down as a dog and be cast aside by the people of the country, or surrender the country.

Cao Xuan couldn't kneel down, and he would vomit to death if he handed over his hands. Therefore, he would not easily dominate and control a certain company.

In this way, it not only offsets the deliberate targeting to a certain extent, but also makes it easier to take off your gloves when the situation is wrong.

So Cao Xuan basically focuses on investment in the United States, and some of them have put on several layers of vests. The only wholly-owned company is Mars Records, and he signed Taylor.

For Cao Xuan, this Martian record is more interesting to play tickets, and if he makes a small fuss, there is no loss if the store is closed.

Otherwise, with Cao Xuan's temperament, if he really wanted to be a record company, he would definitely not be able to just sign Taylor, let alone recruit four or five future popular singers, and even develop with the goal of anti-acquisition of Warner Music Group.

But Cao Xuan knew that this was impossible, so even if he bought Warner, he would play hooligans and waste ten years of hard work.

Therefore, in fact, no matter whether it is investing or producing records abroad, Cao Xuan has only one purpose, to earn money, and then exchange it into RMB to feed back the investment in domestic industries.

Keep the American industry if it can appreciate in value, sell it if it is not profitable, or return to China if it is not good enough, and continue to be a boring entertainment boss...

Marvel Cao Xuan intends to step in, and is currently in contact, and has even begun to privately acquire the shares of some small shareholders.

For Marvel, which is in urgent need of money, they are happy to contact a rich man with hundreds of millions of cash. Although some shareholders do not want financing to dilute their shares, the conditions can be negotiated slowly.

"..."

Cao Xuan withdrew his divergent thoughts, the acquisition was handled by his own professionals, and he couldn't help much, so let's just act honestly.

"Hurricane Rescue" doesn't have many scenes in Xiangjiang, the main thing is to introduce the background at the beginning, let the younger sister Liu Tianxian and Cao Xuan meet, and pave the way for the following.

Liu Tianxian, who is wearing a light white windbreaker, is pretty and beautiful, and it makes people feel good when he looks at it.

On the other hand, the big honey who played the role of best friend, with smoky makeup, messy dyed hair, leather jacket with rivets, dressed like a punk girl.

As the heroine, the younger sister needs the empathy of the audience, even if it is a little rebellious, but it can't be too much, so a pig teammate is needed to help promote the plot.

The setting of the movie, the younger sister's travel abroad, was encouraged by this little sister's best friend.

When they came to Xiangjiang, the elder brother learned that the two girls planned to travel to Japan alone, and he strictly stopped them. The younger sister wanted to be obedient and compromise, but was finally brainwashed by this little girl best friend.

After going to Japan, although the two were targeted early, the younger sister was vigilant. Instead, the younger sister patronized flirting with the handsome guy, and was eventually found out about the situation, leading to her being tied up.

Not only is the character design extremely unpleasant, but it also ends miserably.

Because the heroine is beautiful and a virgin, she was kept for auction by the gangsters, and even served as the finale item, which ushered in precious time for her brother's rescue.

The best friend was directly knocked half disabled by drugs, and then sent to the underground red light district to work in the secret door, and was finally found by the brother, who died without saying a few words.

There are two versions of this episode, the foreign one was directly hung up, and the domestic initial version was also hung up, but considering the review, I took another section where the best friend was rescued and quietly sent to the embassy for treatment, and then according to the review standards Choose.

But no matter which version, this girlfriend is very miserable, especially compared to Liu Tianxian, she is simply a pure and innocent species.

Da Mimi has never been in a good mood since she came to the crew of "Taken". If it wasn't for her lack of guts, she would have thrown away the script and left.

This is too bullying!
Liu Tianxian is in a good mood. In fact, she has very few roles as the heroine. The first part, the middle part, and the last big climax will be over once she shows up.

To put it bluntly, this movie is Cao Xuan's personal show, and the heroine and villain are all tools to set off Cao Xuan.

But the sense of happiness is based on comparison. No matter how "tool-like" she is, she is better than Da Mi Mi, a grievance supporting role.

Looking at Da Mimi with her colorful hair, Liu Tianxian was very happy, and kindly shared her MP3 playlist with Da Mimi.

"Dark Sky"

"Night Night Night Night"

"Awakening"

Da Mimi smiled brightly and turned to share her playlist with Liu Tianxian.

"friend"

"did someone tell you"

"Wolf with goat's skin"

Liu Tianxian picked up Chen Xiaochun's "You Are Ruthless", and the big honey returned with Sun Yue's "Wish You Peace", the two sides came and went, very warm and friendly.

Not far away, Cao Xuan glanced suspiciously at the two little sisters who were "loving each other" and "talking and laughing", and scratched their heads in doubt.

No, why did he feel the familiar smell of Shura Field? Could it be that the East and West Palaces lived in harmony in the past two years, and his radar failed.

"Cissy has a much more cheerful personality now, and is more lively than in previous years."

Cao Xuan commented, and Liu Ma, the assistant who came here to take care of her daughter, agreed and did not forget to flatter her.

"It was you and Teacher Zeng who helped Sisi a lot and gave Sissi a lot of support and encouragement. The child has made it to where he is today, and I am really grateful to you all."

"You're being polite, let's not talk about our personal relationship. After all, we are employees of the company. Sissy is young, so it's appropriate to help take care of her."

Mama Liu nodded, exchanged some polite greetings, and then casually asked, "I see online voting for this year's Golden Eagle Festival Goddess has started. Do you think Sissi can win the championship?"

Cao Xuan took a look at Mama Liu, and seeing her charming and intelligent face, a sentence suddenly popped up in her mind.

"Madam, you probably don't want your daughter to..."

Bah Bah!

Cao Xuan shook his head, it was all because of the TV in the hotel, he was able to receive Japanese late-night programs, and he was misled.

Empress Nishinomiya is still pregnant with a cub.

Those with the surname Cao, let’s be human!

Cao Xuan brushed aside those messy things, looked at the expectant Liu Ma, and spoke directly.

"The company will support Qianqian and Bingbing, but whoever succeeds will actually have to look at the ideas of Xiangxingtai."

At the suggestion of Cao Xuan, the Golden Eagle Festival was reorganized in advance, with two rounds, and the Golden Eagle Goddess was launched as a gimmick.

It is a good honor for the popular florets to choose a youthful, beautiful and extremely popular new-generation actress.

The first Golden Eagle Goddess in 2004 was Hu Jing, who was still widely influential in TV dramas at that time. Of course, there was also a certain reason because he was reciprocated by Hunan Province and Taiwan.

Two years passed in a flash, and in 2006 it was time for the second Golden Eagle Goddess Selection.

Although it is online + telephone voting, the key is still operated by Hunan Provincial Taiwan.

At present, the most popular four female roles will basically not compete for the Golden Eagle Goddess.

Although the Golden Eagle Goddess has no set limits, the Golden Eagle Award is a TV drama award, and it is definitely more popular for actresses in the TV field.

The four little female roles have basically transformed into movie stars, and most of them have won mainstream movie awards. They don't particularly value this Golden Eagle Goddess.

In particular, Hu Jing is the first Golden Eagle Goddess, and the second one is a bit of a junior to some extent. They are also the four little Huadan, regardless of how high and powerful the empress of the East Palace is, but the others don't want to easily become juniors.

Except for the Four Little Flowers, the other popular little flowers are still very interested, especially the female stars who are mainly in TV dramas.

As a result, the competition is fierce, and those who are not top-notch people have no chance at all.

In the past two years, the most popular TV actress in the new era is Liu Tianxian, and the only one who poses a threat to her may be Fan Xiaopang.

"Embroidered Spring Knife 2", "Beauty's Scheming", and "The Legend of the White-haired Witch", which was broadcast not long ago, made Fan Xiaopang's reputation high. Coupled with the bonus of the name of Fanxing's first sister, Liu Tianxian surpassed her This level is not easy.

It was precisely because of this that Mama Liu approached Cao Xuan to see if she could get Cao Xuan's support through the back door.

But Cao Xuan would definitely not accept the move easily, Liu Tianxian is an artiste of the company, and so is Fan Xiaopang.

Regardless of Liu Tianxian's high popularity, Fan Xiaopang's commercial value is stronger, and he is good at attracting money. In the past two years, she has shouldered less than half of the artist management department's income, and Fanxing's first sister is in a stable position.

The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of flesh, even if Cao Xuan is partial to Liu Tianxian in his heart, he will never help, otherwise the other side will be chilled.

If Mama Liu wanted her daughter to take the position, she would either defeat her head-on, or exchange resources with Fan Xiaopang for the other party's withdrawal.

The honor of Golden Eagle Goddess will help Liu Tianxian even more, and it can almost establish her No.1 status in the new generation.

It also helps Fan Xiaopang, but it's not that big. Compared with the Golden Eagle Goddess, she pays more attention to the four stars and two soldiers, consolidating and promoting Dahua's position, and further entering the film circle.

If Liu Tianxian is willing to pay a certain price, Fan Xiaopang probably doesn't mind taking the benefits and making a favor.

Cao Xuan didn't say it directly, but hinted to Mama Liu, even if she didn't understand, she reckoned that she would definitely ask Empress Nishinomiya, and she would naturally know the answer.

These days, his support for Liu Tianxian has already aroused strong protests from the Eastern Palace Party, and even the Royalist Party complained a bit. Cao Xuan felt that he should really level the bowl and let Liu Tianxian suffer from it.

Otherwise, in another two years, Da Mimi has successfully upgraded, Liu Tianxian may only rely on his blood to resist defense, but he has no ability to fight back...

.........

After chatting, the set-up was completed, director Lin Chaoxian greeted the shoot, and Cao Xuan played with Liu Tianxian and Da Mimi.

"I disagree. It's too dangerous for you two girls to go to Japan, Chen Qian. The world is not as beautiful as textbooks, and there are all kinds of dangers in reality."

"Brother, it's too alarmist."

Liu Tianxian replied with a pouty face, and Da Mimi was even more disdainful: "Your brother is such a mother-in-law, no wonder you don't have a girlfriend at such an age."

"..."

According to the setting of the movie, the hero Chen Jun is a retired mercenary who is tired of everything on the battlefield, so he retired and came to work in a security company in Xiangjiang.

His half-sister and best friend are planning to travel after graduating from high school, just in time for the big singer Avril Lavigne to hold a concert in Xiangjiang. As a fan of Avril Lavigne, the first stop of his trip is Xiangjiang.

As an elder brother, Chen Jun entertained this younger sister. He disliked this naughty and lovely younger sister on the surface, but he still liked it in his heart.

He also asked for an autographed photo of Avril Lavigne specifically by protecting the favor of his employer, intending it to be a birthday present for his sister in the near future.

As a result, at this time, he learned that the two of his sisters had finished the concert and were going to travel to Japan, so he stopped it immediately.

With his help in Xiangjiang, safety is guaranteed, but it is too unsafe for the two girls to go to other places alone.

Faced with her brother's dissuasion, her younger sister was not convinced. She traveled abroad this time because she had had enough of her parents' discipline for the college entrance examination, so she came on a rebellious trip. Can't stop it at all.

Even if the parents moved out in the end, they were deceived because the best friend pretended to have a Japanese cousin to support her.

Because of this, the male protagonist relaxed his vigilance a little. He still has work and cannot accompany him, so he asked his sister to make phone calls every day to ensure the smooth flow of information.

This is an adaptation of the original version. After all, the original version is a daughter, and this version is a brother. The lines and ideas are somewhat different.

If the original version is about father's love like a mountain, Cao Xuan's version is more about a sister-protecting madman who pays attention to family affection.

Various details of the film show that the relationship between the hero and his father seems to be bad, but in fact he attaches great importance to family affection in his heart.

The surface is indifferent, but in fact he cares and spoils this sister very much, so he takes her to play Xiangjiang, signs autographs for celebrities, and pays special attention to safety.

Therefore, when he learned that his sister had an accident, he became furious, and even went to Japan to investigate and rescue in person.

Different from the setting of father and daughter, the weight of siblings is still a bit lower, so it is necessary to shape and pave the way for the family relationship to promote the plot and ensure a highlight of the movie.

"Taken" not only has hearty fighting, but also has a certain warmth, so that the movie is more complete.

There are not many scenes in Xiangjiang. After a few days of filming, everyone moved to Japan and waited for Avril Lavigne to hold a concert in Xiangjiang.

That's right, Avril Lavigne's concert was real, and that's why Cao Xuan contacted this god-sister for a guest appearance.

Otherwise, he wanted to find a few domestic singers at first, but with Avril Lavigne, he would definitely choose the latter. After all, Avril Lavigne is a top international star, and it would be considered an easter egg in a movie.

It is worth mentioning that Cao Xuan is also a guest performer at Avril Lavigne's concert, and the two will sing the song "We Don't Talk Anymore" together.

In other words, Cao Xuan was busy singing as a guest that day, and when he finished singing and got off the stage, he had to immediately change into his bodyguard's clothes and sit for the camera to film. One person worked two jobs at the same time.

Ugh…

Life is not easy, Uranus sighs!
When I came to Japan, I gave priority to filming big and sweet scenes. There was only a few scenes in total. There was no need to stay here all the time. After finishing the filming in one go, I could go back to China, and then go to Xiangjiang for re-shooting when the time comes.

On the contrary, Liu Tianxian, although there are not many roles, but it is relatively scattered, and it involves more plots, so it is estimated that he will accompany the crew to the finale.

But it's also very normal, after all, it's the heroine, and after receiving the salary and exposure bonus, she has to cooperate with the filming.

After "Painted Skin", the heroines of Cao Xuan's movies are much more sought-after, let alone movies that hit Hollywood.

Liu Tianxian succeeded in ascending to the top position. I don't know how many actresses are envious and jealous behind him, and delaying some schedules is nothing.

If she doesn't want to, Da Mimi can't wait to kick her over and act on her own, even if she shoots for a year...

.........

Although he and Da Mimi fight against each other every day, when Da Mimi really leaves, Liu Tianxian is still a little lonely.

And Liu Ma returned to China to cooperate with Liu Tianxian's management team to operate the Golden Eagle Goddess.

When she had no acting, she could only stay on the set with her assistant, and watch Cao Xuan beat Chang Wei and Lai Fu... No, it was Wu Jing.

These two are villains, the characters are the Chinese bosses and elite thugs of the Japanese gangsters.

Originally, Cao Xuan actually wanted to set Wu Jing as an Interpol at the beginning, which belongs to the decent kind who helps but does not approve of the protagonist's actions.

Later, it was discovered that this coincided with the positioning of the embassy, ​​so Wu Jing was still turned into a villain, and at the same time, the setting of the male lead as a lonely hero was more prominent.

Chang Wei is a small boss, set to be Chinese, can speak English, and is ruthless. Wu Jing is the gatekeeper boss, the bodyguard thug of the gang boss, who appears in the final battle and almost kills Cao Xuan.

The setting does not say whether it is Japanese or Chinese, the face is cold, the combat effectiveness is extremely high, and there are almost no lines, just do it when you come up.

In addition, there are several villains who are all Japanese actors. After all, they are Japanese gangsters, and they are mainly Japanese. Cao Xuan found a few actors who are good at villains through Dongbao.

His appearance and temperament are no worse than those of Sun Honglei and Xiangjiang's four villains. If they go there, they will be sentenced to two years in prison.

When Cao Xuan chatted with them, he also specially encouraged them to go to China for development. Hengdian and Zaoshi Fanxing Republic film and television base lack such talents.

In many anti-Japanese war dramas, the ghost officers are too upright, and the audience has a poor sense of substitution, so they have to find such tragic and angry ones to arouse the anger of the audience and better invest in the plot.

Not to mention these Japanese actors, all of whom can speak Japanese, not only have a good image, but also have a strong professional advantage.

Cao Xuan got a headache when he saw the ghosts in the Anti-Japanese War dramas whose Mandarin was better than the translation.

Devils have to be "original" authentic......

While beating Chang Wei and Wu Jing violently, and fooling Japanese actors, Cao Xuan was too bored to watch Liu Tianxian, so he recommended a new drama to her.

This drama is a hit this year, and its ratings are said to be a little higher than "Wulin Biography". In the future, a TV drama universe will be set up, and it is one of the longest-running TV dramas in China.

That is - "Country Love".

Compared with the stinky and long bloody plots in the following ones, the first part of "Country Love" is of extremely high quality, which can be called the ceiling of Chinese local dramas.

Liu Tianxian grew up with a wealthy family and little experience. In fact, he should watch such relatively realistic film and television works to broaden his horizons. Otherwise, playing a village girl in the future will be like a troubled princess.

Of course, a better way is to throw Liu Tianxian to the countryside or the bottom of the society to experience the life of ordinary people for a few months.

Then try those in-depth characters, otherwise, just shoot ancient costumes and normal characters honestly.

But let's not talk about whether Mama Liu will fight Cao Xuan desperately by doing this, Cao Xuan really can't imagine what it would be like for Liu Tianxian to go to the countryside, so let's watch TV dramas, talk is better than nothing.

Seeing Liu Tianxian bewildered looking at life in the Northeast countryside, asking questions from time to time, with a ignorant look, Cao Xuan thought that she must have been cut off from the lower-level characters in her life...

ps: Let me explain, the author of the book I pushed yesterday is not a girl.
Damn, I'm so envious...
