Chapter 659 President Hu and "Dear"

Cao Xuan returned to China in early March. At that time, "See You Again" had been topping the Billboard singles chart for 3 weeks, and there was no sign of instability.

Not to mention the despair of the singers of the same period, even Cao Xuan was a little dead.

In my heart, I no longer demand any specialism and five crowns. If I can become the best, I can't pull it down.

Cao Xuan, who returned to China, suddenly found himself idle.

The promotion period for the new album has passed, and "Hurricane Rescue 3" will be released in the summer. He has no new movie projects on hand for the time being, so he has another free period.

It is said to be idle, but Cao Xuan actually has no time to spend every day, but the schedule is not so rushed, but in fact, he is still preparing for the last album and the next movie plan.

At the very beginning, Cao Xuan wanted to do the "Fast Pursuit" series, but because of the focus on music in the past two years, he temporarily stopped it.

As a brand new movie action series, it may even create a small film and television universe, and it is impossible to launch it in a hurry.

Better to be steady.When Cao Xuan completely retires from the music world and takes time out, he can devote his energy to it.

Cao Xuan is not worried that this series will be preempted. He set up the project early, and the relevant talents are also in hand. He is in the process of polishing and preparing. The original crew had a similar idea, and it can't be formed now.

This is also the reason why Cao Xuan dared to let it go, otherwise he would have to strike first.

After suspending "Fast Pursuit", Cao Xuan's plan behind him put aside Marvel movies, and planned to see if there were any suitable Chinese-language movie projects.

He doesn't pursue it deliberately. If it is suitable, he can pat it. If it is not inappropriate, he will only make a new album, and watch the children or play when he has nothing to do.

In his late forties, Cao Xuan felt that he was becoming less and less active in his work.

Er, it seems that he was not very active before, just for money and fame. Now that he has everything, his desire to work hard is even lower.

Cao Xuan has become a Buddhist, but Empress Donggong is now devoted to her work.

In January this year, President Li Yan, who had worked for Fanxing for more than ten years, officially stepped down and chose to leave Fanxing and return to his hometown to start a business.

For this result, even though Cao Xuan was mentally prepared, he was still a little reluctant and sad.

Li Yan was the oldest executive of Fanxing in the early days. When he came to Fanxing, he was in his early forties. Now, it is already the year of destiny.

He was divorced before joining Fanxing. His son worked abroad and settled down. Now he seems to have grandsons. Now Li Yan can be said to have no worries.

It is said to be going home to start a business, but in fact it is more like retirement, with a small company in hand, mainly to accompany the old parents.

Li Yan has joined Fanxing for more than ten years, and his presence is not as strong as that of other executives, but he is a good steward and adhesive. Fanxing has been able to develop steadily and rapidly over the years. Small.

After working together for more than ten years, Cao Xuan also gets along well with him. His family knows his own affairs, but he is not a particularly easy-to-serve boss.

There are few major faults, but there are a lot of small faults. Li Yan has endured him for ten years, and he has never complained once. Cao Xuan is still very grateful.

The night before Li Yan left the capital, Cao Xuan personally cooked a table at home and invited Li Yan to dinner. The two of them chatted until late at night, getting drunk.

The next afternoon, Cao Xuan personally sent him to the airport and stuffed him with a parting gift.

A villa in the third ring road of the capital, with an area of ​​about 400 square meters, is a single-family house. The current market price should be above 2500 million.

It is Cao Xuan's gratitude to Li Yan, thanking him for his dedication to Fanxing and his accommodation over the years.

The weight of this gift is not low. Apart from dividends and bonuses, Li Yan's salary in Fanxing for more than ten years may not be enough to buy this villa.

With this villa, whether he lives in it or sells it, Li Yan doesn't have to worry about pension money for the rest of his life.

After Li Yan left, Hu Jing officially took office and became Fanxing's second president, the nominal number one.

It is no exaggeration to say that as soon as this appointment came out, it caused an earthquake in the Internet.

Fanxing's interior is fine, the high-level people know what they know, the middle-level people have heard the wind to some extent, and the bottom-level discussions have nothing to do with the overall situation.

In addition, Hu Jing herself has been a senior executive for many years, and she still has a certain prestige. After taking the position, she did not engage in any new officials. There was a [Li Gui Hu Sui], except for a very small part of the adjustment, basically what was the original Like, what is it now.

The most important reason is that sentence, everyone knows who the core of Fanxing is, and when Cao Xuan is still there, everyone's heart will not be disturbed.

But in the outside world, the impact of this matter is great.

Fanxing is a leader in the entertainment industry anyway, and a group company with a market value of [-] billion is very influential in the country itself. The change of the president is bound to attract attention from the outside world, not to mention the replacement of the big star Hu Jing.

Although as one of the four major Huadan, Hu Jing has very few works in recent years, and can even be described as "passed".

But after all, it was also the top class of the year, and the popularity and popularity are still there. Counting all the female stars, it is still an inescapable one.

The combination of the two has successfully made this incident out of the circle, creating a sensation in multiple layouts such as entertainment, finance, and society.

Many people are extremely despised by this appointment, especially the question and answer platform [Zhihu], which was funded by Cao Xuan and officially opened to the public this year. .

It is believed that this is the beginning of Cao Xuan's transformation of Fanxing into a family company, and it also indicates that Fanxing is about to turn from prosperity to decline from the rising period.

He directly criticized Cao Xuan as a waste controlled by women, while Hu Jing became the troubled water of Daji and Yang Guifei.

Of course, some people who have carefully studied the responsibilities of President Fanxing and the division of labor at the top think that this appointment is not that serious. Under the current system, Hu Jing has no chance to do anything. It is more like a compromise recognized by all parties. product.

This topic can also be said to be the first topic of Zhihu Kai.com, which gained 160 million users in one wave, and became famous.

Boss Cao has already registered for the trumpet account, and he is ready to watch the big guys from all walks of life pretending to be forceful.

However, in addition to Zhihu and a few platforms and people who pay attention to Caijing and Fanxing itself, more people still care about Hu Jing.

President Fanxing, no matter what his power is, he is indeed the leader in name, the head of the Hundred Billion Group.

Hu Jing went from a star to a well-known strong woman, alongside Miss Yang of Country Garden, Dong Zong of Gree, and Mrs. Du of Gome.

To be honest, there are only a handful of artists in the entertainment industry who can counterattack to this extent.

However, Hu Jing felt that it was nothing, the head of the Hundred Billion Group was a piece of shit. At the beginning of this year, Cao Xuan often went to the New Year's house, but he reached the top.

But Hu Jing didn't think anything, outsiders were different.

In the past, there were some netizens who didn't know the truth and said that Hu Jing was out of breath and was not worthy of the four great actresses. Now many people feel the same way, but it is not that Hu Jing is unworthy, but that the four great actresses are not worthy of Hu Jing.

Everyone is really not at the same level, even Fan Xiaopang, the most popular one, has to look up to him.

Many people ridiculed that Hu Jing was a woman who jumped from CCTV6 and CCTV8 (movie and TV channels) to CCTV2 (financial channel).

But soon, some netizens saw Hu Jing's figure in a high-end business forum hosted by the second elder.

President Hu spoke as a representative of the private entertainment industry and talked freely in front of the leaders and a group of business leaders.

Netizens who were just playing jokes at first only realized what level Hu Jing had reached when they saw the participants in this forum.

The only question everyone has is whether Hu Jing, who is already the president, will make film and television works in the future.

Hu Jing also explained on Weibo that she has no plans to stop acting. If she encounters a suitable work, she will still become an actress.

Of course, that's what I said, but with Hu Jing's current status and various conditions, there are very few works that can be easily photographed by her eyes, and the output of President Hu's works will probably be lower in the future.

Compared with Hu Jing, who is busy taking care of the work of the president and getting on the right track as soon as possible, in other words, Niangniang Nishigong still insists on the unshakable Buddhist system.

Every day in the normal class life, the only fluctuation is that at the invitation of Fan Xiaopang, he played a scene in "The Legend of Wu Meiniang", playing the role of the eldest grandson in the flashbacks of Li Shimin and Li Zhi.

There were only a few scenes in total, and it was easy to do. Zeng Li didn't ask for money, but he introduced a few students to the crew.

So much so that Hu Jing came home from get off work every day, and when she saw the two people who were bubbly and bubbling, her teeth itch with anger, and she forced Cao Xuan to be her secretary and organize documents every day to be satisfied.

Of course, that's just pretending.

Boss Cao nodded and bowed down on the surface, burying his head and working hard, and turned his head to her secretary to get it done. Hu Jing didn't plan to really use him, she gave her an attitude, and she didn't stubbornly pursue whoever made the documents.

Niigong Niangniang also joined in the fun. She didn't need Boss Cao to prepare her lessons, but watched Cao Li do her homework.

Cao Li, who is about to go to elementary school after the summer vacation, is now in a kindergarten class.

The knowledge taught in their school is stronger than that of ordinary kindergartens. Pinyin arithmetic is no longer a problem, and they have even begun to contact multiplication and division and English teaching.

And from the big class to the next semester, the teacher assigns homework every day to prepare for a seamless connection with the first grade. Although it is not much, it is also homework.

Therefore, Cao Li was forced to watch less than half an hour to an hour of cartoons every day, so he was particularly resistant to his homework and had to be watched by someone.

Grandpa and grandma couldn't bear it. Hu Jing was busy during this time, and she was used to Cao Li. She was usually the villain of Empress Nishigong. Now that Cao Xuan came back, it was his turn to be the father.

Thinking about the life of watching the baby in Goldfinger, Cao Xuan was under a lot of pressure, and he even did some psychological construction.

But after watching it a few times, he found that it was not as difficult as he thought.

The main reason is that Xiao Cao Li is very smart, at least the difficulty of homework is nothing to her, mainly because this little girl can't sit still, she just wants to watch TV and play on the computer, and is unwilling to do her homework, so there must be someone to restrain her. Prevent her from cheating and slipping.

How to say it, although it can't reach the level of "filial piety to a father and a daughter", but it is also a battle of wits and courage every day.

Cao Xuan strongly suspected that Empress Nishigong asked him to look after the child, not because Donggong was jealous at all, but just wanted him to see how difficult his daughter was and how difficult it was for him at ordinary times.

Compared with his daughter's quirkiness, his son Cao Yang is actually more obedient.

Although he was only a little more than two years old, Shi Chang had a cold face and did not speak, like a little adult.

Hu Jing and his sister Cao Li liked to bully him. Every time they teased little Cao Yang to the point of rage, the mothers would jokingly coax him.

Sometimes, Cao Xuan thinks that the two children and the two mothers should be replaced. Cao Li's naughty and lively is very similar to Hu Jing's seed, and the calm and reserved Zeng Licai is like Cao Yang's biological mother.

Although Cao Xuan has a very good relationship with Zeng Li, he also loves his son very much.

Not long ago, he also began to cultivate his awareness of sports competition, teasing him with a football, grabbing one, and passing the other.

Against the background of his two-year-old son, Cao Xuan is simply possessed by Maradona + Messi + Ronaldinho + Neymar, making the child cry and cry.

In fact, Cao Xuan also teased Cao Li like this two years ago. From that day on, his daughter's football dream was shattered, and Cao Xuan was also cleaned up by the Empress Nishigong.

However, Xiao Caoyang has a tougher personality. Although he cried a lot the day before, he still had to play with his father while holding the ball the next day.

The most terrifying thing was that his own mother, Hu Jing, didn't feel sorry for her son at all, and stood by to watch the fun.

If it weren't for her poor football skills, I'm afraid she would end up molesting herself.

In the words of Empress Nishigong, with such a father and mother on the stall, little Cao Yang doesn't know what he did in his previous life...

.........

Fanxing Building, Cao Xuan Office
Director Feng Xiaoning handed over the tentative list of creators of "Dear" and the producers.

"The heroine Li Hongqin, we tend to use the powerful faction. Mr. Zhou is the No. 1 choice, but considering the salary, Yan Bingyan, Yin Zhao, and Qin Hailu are also within our consideration."

"Zeng Li is also here?"

"Teacher Zeng's acting skills are obvious to all, but the image may not fit rural women. I personally prefer Mr. Zeng to play the role of the second female, that is, the ex-wife of the male protagonist."

Cao Xuan nodded, Zeng Li's temperament and appearance are not impossible to play as a rural woman, but there are some plays. If it is changed to a small town woman, it will be more suitable.

Speaking of this, Cao Xuan was also a little unconfident, and looked at the photos of the script prototype.

"Director Feng, do you think I'm also acting?"

"To be honest, your appearance is indeed expected to be more handsome, but it is not too far from the character. The male protagonist is a small businessman working hard in the city. Ugly, you'd better gain more weight."

"That's easy to say."

Cao Xuan understood, even though he was nearly forty years old, but he was in excellent condition, with a good figure and temperament, he looked to be in his early thirties, even if he said 26, many people would believe him.

Such an image is no problem to play a domineering president or a business elite, but if you play a middle-aged man who has lost a child, it will not work, and some changes must be made.

Cao Xuan personally likes the movie "Dear" and would like to appear in it.

As I said before, Cao Xuan's interest in commercial blockbusters has greatly diminished in China, and he prefers this kind of literary and in-depth movies. "Hunting" is just the beginning, and he is aiming at "Dear" again.

Cao Xuan got this script very early, and he originally planned to cooperate with Lao Mouzi.

However, Laomouzi first chose "Hunting", and later he wanted to make "Return", so Cao Xuan went to Feng Xiaoning.

In addition to Lao Mouzi, the directors Fanxing who can shoot such realistic themes well should be the best-known director Feng.

Feng Xiaoning was also very interested in this book, and soon came up with the main creator selection plan.

If nothing else, the male protagonist should be Cao Xuan. Since Empress Nishigong is suitable, Cao Xuan still hopes to play against his daughter-in-law.

As for the heroine Li Hongqin, many people are optimistic about Zhou Gongzi, but her salary is a bit too high.

After all, "Dear" is a literary film with a limited budget. Under the circumstance that Cao Xuan already exists, there is no need to find too many big names.

And inside Fanxing, to be honest, no actor is suitable for this role.

Even if Fan Xiaopang is still there, her image conditions are not very suitable for rural women.

Although she performed well in "I Am Pan Jinlian", it is better to change to an actor with better basic conditions, and her salary is not low.

As for Dami Mi and Liu Tianxian, expecting them to play such roles is too difficult and the age is inappropriate.

Guo Zhenni and Yang Xue are the same, they are the only two qualified to challenge this role, but the age of the former is not suitable, and although Yang Xue's TV series is very good, but the movie is not easy to say, this role is extremely complicated, not everyone can eat it down.

So to be on the safe side, I still prefer to use outsiders.

Cao Xuan personally prefers Yan Bingyan, whose performance in "Ten Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" is a classic, and his grasp of rural women is absolutely accurate. Qin Hailu can also do it, and he can also play the banner of the cooperation between Zeng and Qin in the 96th class of Chinese opera. .

It's easy to say about other roles, the priority is the strong faction, there is a big role with a heavier role, that is, the role played by the original Zhang Ze.

Feng Xiaoning strongly recommends Huang Bo. He has collaborated with each other on "Happy Family" and admires Huang Bo very much, and wants to promote the cooperation again.

And, from a commercial point of view, Huang Bo is now red and purple.

In December last year, the box office of "People are in a dreadful way in Thailand" exceeded 12 billion, setting a new record for Chinese films and ranking second in the mainland box-office list.

As a result, another "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was released in the Spring Festival this year, which also won 13 billion + box office, second only to "People are in the embarrassment of Thailand".

Although Huang Bo was not the first male protagonist in the two movies, he was extremely popular and soared.

In March, another starring "The Chef and the Showman" was staged. Although it is far inferior to the first two films, the box office is expected to exceed 3 million. For a main theme of the Anti-Japanese War, it is also very good.

In less than half a year, the total box office of the three films Huang Bo participated in approached 30 billion, and the momentum was not much worse than that of Uncle Ge and Cao Xuan in the previous two years.

The box office data exploded, and he was also a golden rooster actor + a first-line artist. Coupled with the big platform of Fanxing, Huang Bo completely soared into the sky and became the representative of the Mesozoic generation in the mainland of Chinese movies.

To be honest, under his impact, Hu Ge's brother Fanxing was already in jeopardy.

That is to say, everyone is not walking the same way, and Huang Bo is not willing to fight, otherwise the result is really hard to say.

With Huang Bo's current momentum, it's hard to say that others can make him a match, but Cao Xuan is definitely an exception.

The only consideration is the remuneration, but considering that Zeng Li and Yan Bingyan/Qin Hailu's remuneration are not high, they can still free up part of the budget.

The male protagonist and the second female are both taking care of Cao Xuan's face. Feng Xiaoning insisted on Huang Bo, and Cao Xuan was not easy to refute him, so he acceded to his request.

Huang Bo did not refuse. First, the script was good, and secondly, Cao Xuan personally led the way. He was very happy to help out.

This Huang Bo is indeed very real. He never cares about the position and so on. After the original time and space became popular, he was even willing to act in a TV series.

In addition to returning favors, a large part of the reason is that he himself follows the line of strength, and the early commercial value is limited, so he does not care much about the gains and losses...
