China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 205 203. Another epic fantasy blockbuster?
When he came to the company, Cao Yu first wrote out the plot outline of "Painted Skin" and handed it over to the company's screenwriters, Caishen and Yu Baimei, to perfect and polish it.

Then he found the vice president and arranged: "Go and talk to the developer of this office building, I plan to buy all of this place."

"Buy them all?"

Mr. Chen was a little surprised. Although this building is not high, with only eleven floors, it would cost hundreds of millions to buy them all.

"Let's talk, it's better to be cheaper."

Originally, Cao Yu just wanted to buy another floor, but Sequoia Capital and Capital Today sent more than [-] million US dollars, so it would be better to buy the whole place in one step and build an entertainment empire.

Anyway, it is also close to Nortel, so it will be more convenient to find actors or directors in the future.

"understood."

The vice president never expected that such a humble entertainment company would grow so fast in just over two years.

As soon as he came out of the vice president's office, Ning Hao walked over: "Mr. Cao, do I have any work arrangements for this year?"

"Yes, shoot some MVs for our singers."

"I'm dizzy, Mr. Cao, you are my bole, you can't treat me like this?" Ning Hao's face was a bit bitter.

"Haha, just kidding, after the new year, let's cooperate with Master Xing on a movie, and then let you help him, how about it?" Cao Yu laughed.

"Master Star?"

Hearing this name, Ning Hao, as a comedy director, felt both expectation and worry.

What he expected was that it would be an honor to be able to help Master Xing, but what he worried about was that Master Xing had the title of tyrant on the set, and it was common for him to curse at people, so he was a little afraid.

"One actor a year, and Zhou Xingchi in a hundred years, you should study hard, and you'd better squeeze out his artistic cells."

Cao Yu patted Ning Hao's arm and said, "You are the only director of the company now. Work hard! Next year, the company will create a comedy movie for you."

"I will work hard!"

With the boss's encouragement and promise, Ning Hao nodded solemnly.

After finishing all this work, Cao Yu made an appointment with Han Sanping early, and was just about to go to Feigo Video when the phone rang again.

"There are a lot of things to do on the first day of the new year at work."

He took out the phone and found that it was Sun Guoming, the coal boss, and thought to himself, "Could it be another money delivery?"

After answering the phone, he said to the person, "Boss Cao, Happy New Year."

"President Sun, what's the matter?"

"I also watched your new movie "Sword Rain". It's really popular. Congratulations." Sun Guoming's tone was full of admiration.

"Fortunately."

Cao Yu said politely, and asked, "Mr. Sun, if you need anything, just talk about it."

Hearing Cao Yu's tone on the phone, Sun Guoming had no choice but to say: "Boss Cao, will you really not pay for the film and television city you mentioned last time?"

In fact, in the past two days, he has also considered this matter. He wants to build a relationship with a "high-end" person like Cao Yu, and also plans to invest in the project Cao Yu said for his son.

It's just that the amount of investment is really too big, and he is really worried about losing money.

"It's only [-] million, do you need to be so cautious?"

Cao Yu was on the phone, a little impatient.

"What is five hundred million? How much coal do I have to sell for five hundred million to earn back."

Sun Guoming immediately put on the pain mask, thanks to the phone, Cao Yu couldn't see it.

But he still apologized and said with a smile: "Of course Boss Cao and I can't compare, I'm in a small business."

Cao Yu also understood the other party's worries, and immediately said: "I shouldn't pay."

"Then I will trust Boss Cao once, and I voted for this project."

Sun Guoming gritted his teeth and finally agreed.

"Mr. Sun still has some courage. After the Spring Festival, I will start to investigate and contact you when the time comes. I will also talk to the lawyer about your son."

Cao Yu didn't show any sign of being happy, but said something lightly, and when the other party said thank you excitedly, he hung up the phone and called Zhang Jizhong again.

"Director Zhang, what are you busy with?"

"What a coincidence, I'm about to call Mr. Cao."

"Director Zhang also has something to ask for me?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal, but I plan to take advantage of Ms. Liu Yifei's return to China and hold a press conference for "Sculpture of Gods" the day after tomorrow."

"Conference?"

"Hold a press conference, and the premiere of "Sculpture of God" will sell for a good price. Don't forget that you are also an investor and a leading actor, but you must come."

Zhang Jizhong was really afraid that the current Cao Yu would not be willing to participate in this kind of event, so he could only try his best to invite him.

"Ok."

Cao Yu nodded helplessly, and he also had something to ask Zhang Jizhong for help.

"By the way, Director Zhang, are you familiar with the person in charge of Xiangshan Film and Television City? I want to buy Xiangshan Film and Television City."

"Buy Xiangshan Film and Television City?"

On the phone, Zhang Jizhong was a little surprised.

He knew that Cao Yu had made money in the past two years, but he didn't expect that he would buy a film and television studio when he was so rich?

Cao Yu nodded and said: "Yes, I plan to buy this film and television city, and then expand it to create a brand new film and television base that is not inferior to Hengdian. Please guide Zhang."

"I really have a good relationship with them. Their film and television city is not well-known and small in scale. It is currently in a state of loss. If you want to buy it, I will try my best to help you talk about it and save you some money."

"Then thank you Director Zhang first."

After hanging up the phone, Cao Yu snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "It's done!"

After finishing all the work, Cao Yu came to the hotel where Han Sanping was the host at five o'clock in the afternoon.

Pushing open the door of the box, I found that the first person to arrive was Han Sanping in a gray Chinese tunic suit.

Cao Yu originally thought that people like the chairman of China Film Group were usually the last to appear on the stage, but he didn't expect that he would be the first to arrive first, so he hurried forward and said: "Director Han, I thought I was the first, but I didn't expect You have arrived."

"Mr. Cao, this is the first time we meet. I didn't expect you to be so young. You are really young and promising."

"Director Han has won the prize."

The previous contacts with China Film were all done by the subordinates of the business department, and it was the first time Cao Yu met this industry leader.

"A product produced by Feiyu must be a high-quality product. Not everyone can afford this sentence."

Han Sanping boasted again, picked up the teapot, and poured tea for Cao Yu.

"Don't dare to bother Director Han, I will do it myself."

Cao Yu quickly took the teapot, first added some tea for Han Sanping, and then poured the cup in front of him.

"Young man, not arrogant or impetuous, not bad."

Han Sanping was very satisfied with this reaction, and immediately said: "Actually, I came here early to discuss three things with you."

"There are three things? Not just for Brother Chen Kai?"

Cao Yu understood why this big boss had to wait for him in advance. It seems that these three things are not easy to handle.

I probably guessed in my heart, but still put on a look of listening respectfully: "Han Dong, tell me."

"Hehe, the first thing is actually very simple. Wuji is definitely at a loss. I just don't want him to lose too much. Do you understand?"

Although they didn't say it clearly, if Cao Yu can't understand this point, then don't mess around.

Although Han Sanping said it was easy, it was actually the most difficult. After all, "The Promise" was so muddy that it couldn't support the wall.

He thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Han Dong, I understand."

"Hehe, no wonder Feiyu Entertainment can develop so fast."

Seeing that the other party agreed, Han Sanping also nodded, and continued: "The second thing is about "The Promise". This film is regarded as a loss. Although China Film doesn't care much about the money, it is not very good-looking after all. .”

Speaking of this, he paused, and said with a smile: "Instead, they helped us to announce and distribute your two films. Both the word of mouth and the box office are good. , China Film can invest and produce together.”

"China Film Group wants to invest in my film?"

Cao Yu was a little surprised by this incident. He really didn't expect China Film to ask him for a script.

"What? Inconvenient?"

Han Sanping asked calmly, but there was a sense of oppression from a superior in his eyes.

China Film Investment is something that many entertainment companies dream of.

"No, no, the movies we invest in are all trivial. I'm a little flattered for a while if you want to invest."

"Ha ha."

Sure enough, Cao Yu's remarks not only made Han Sanping's sense of oppression disappear, but also laughed out loud.

Everyone is willing to wear this invisible top hat.

The atmosphere became relaxed, and Han Sanping asked: "So, Cao is always planning a new film?"

"Han Dong, to be honest, we have three films in 06, one has already signed a contract with Mr. Zhou Xingchi, and the other is also planned to be handed over to director Zhang Yimou. The third is an 'epic-level costume magic blockbuster' ’, does require greater investment.”

Han Sanping's heart twitched when he heard the words "epic-level magical blockbuster", probably because he was frightened by "The Promise".

"It's epic, and it's a magical blockbuster? Did this kid say that on purpose?"
