China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 291 289. I’m not a Heiwa (5K, [-]-in-[-])

Li Di's parents are ordinary people. When they heard that someone wanted to take their daughter to be an actress, they refused at first.

"The child is still young and we are a little worried about being so far away from home. You should find someone else."

Since ancient times, fathers have loved their daughters. When Li Di's father looked at his daughter, he was really reluctant to let her go. He was also afraid that being an actor would be too hard.

"Master Li, Mr. Cao is one of the top entertainment company bosses in the country. How can he let his children suffer?"

The teacher who came with me was like a matchmaker, earnestly advising: "Look at classmate Li Di. She has now played the leading role in Zhou Xingchi's movie."

Cao Yu was drinking tea on the side and observing this family, which was not considered wealthy and had simple furnishings.

Li Min's father is a worker in a steel factory, and his mother is a primary school teacher, but they are able to live in a well-off family.

"My child has loved singing since he was a child, and he already has good attainments in Kunqu Opera. He can forget about acting on TV and wait until graduation."

Father Li still said the same thing and always disagreed.

Li Min has been relatively well-behaved since she was a child. Although she actually wanted to give it a try, she was also a little reluctant to let go of her parents, so she never spoke.

Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, the teacher turned to Boss Cao for help.

Cao Yu put down his tea cup and said with a smile: "This time our company is selecting the characters from "Dream of Red Mansions". You two have seen the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions". I also want to shoot a classic like him. This kid is very good. He will definitely be a good actor in the future." actor."

"We have seen Dream of Red Mansions, but..."

When they heard that they could star in Dream of Red Mansions, Li Di's parents were a little tempted, but they still didn't nod: "However, the child is still too young."

"Not young anymore, he will be seventeen soon, and this is a rare and good opportunity."

The teacher hurriedly interjected.

"17 years old is not yet an adult."

The mother looked at her childish daughter and couldn't make a choice.

Cao Yu had no choice but to say: "We plan to invest 30 million in this film. If she stars, she will be paid at least [-]."

"30?"

After hearing this huge salary, Li Di's parents were finally shaken.

The combined salary of the two of them is less than 3000 yuan at most. The figure of 30 is enough for the two of them to save for ten years.

"Besides, if she performs well, you will be honored too."

Cao Yu finally threw out a very tempting rhetoric.

He also comes from a rural area and is very aware of this mentality. As long as the child becomes famous, the family will definitely feel very proud.

Sure enough, Li Min's parents looked at each other and nodded: "You can't let your children suffer, otherwise we won't worry."

Cao Yu said with a smile: "Haha, uncle and aunt, when Li Di makes money and brings you to Yanjing, you can take care of her, and the crew is filming in Zhejiang Province, so you can go see her when you have time. "

"Okay, then I'll leave my child to you."

Father Li glanced at his daughter and finally nodded.

After signing Li Jin, Cao Yu originally planned to go back to the Magic City directly to settle the affairs of the Tang Dynasty.

Just as she was about to leave, Mother Li couldn't bear to leave her daughter immediately. She took Li Di's hand and said, "It's hard for you guys to come here. It's getting late. Why don't you leave tomorrow?"

Dad Li also echoed: "We are very close to Suzhou. You can go and have a look. It won't be too late to leave tomorrow."

"I just haven't been to Suzhou, so I'll leave tomorrow."

Cao Yu also felt that he was taking her daughter away as soon as she came back, which was unkind.

Moreover, this is considered an original Jiangnan water town that has not yet been developed. Just take a look and agree immediately.

"It's okay for Mr. Cao to stay here for a few days. I have to go back. I have classes tomorrow."

The teacher who came to help was just on business and had to go back.

It was difficult for everyone to keep the teacher, so they sent the teacher away. Mother Li originally wanted to leave Cao Yu and the others to finish eating, but Cao Yu felt that it would be inconvenient for several people if he added a bodyguard and driver, so he pretended to go to Suzhou to visit and left first. I went to Li Ni's house and picked her up the next afternoon.

Driving in the small town, Cao Yu found that the place was indeed very original, but unfortunately, there were not even good general hotels, let alone star-rated hotels.

The best hotel is a guest house that only costs more than ten yuan a night.

"Forget it, we'll watch here tomorrow. Let's go to Suzhou first."

An hour later, by the Taihu Lake in Suzhou, Cao Yu was enjoying the rare tranquility while enjoying the cool breeze.

Zhang Yuqi and the boss walked side by side, with three bodyguards following from a distance. Naturally, they stupidly bothered the boss to pick up girls.

"There is heaven above, and there are Suzhou and Hangzhou below. I will not deceive you if you are honest."

Cao Yu is very familiar with Taihu Lake. Before his rebirth, he had filmed many scenes in the Three Kingdoms City near Taihu Lake, but this was his first time in Suzhou.

Zhang Yuqi smiled and said: "It's a pity that it's a bit cold in winter now. It would be better if it was autumn."

"You came before?"

"I used to go to school in Shanghai and came here once, but I didn't have much money at that time and didn't have much fun."

Zhang Yuqi sighed softly, feeling a little emotional.

"There is a song that goes like this: when you have time, you don't have money; when you have money, you don't have time. It seems to be absolutely true."

"Boss, you have money and time now."

"Today is also a break from my busy schedule."

Cao Yu lamented that he did have money now, but he really didn't have much time to relax like this.

The two of them walked like this for a while. Zhang Yuqi looked at her toes and finally couldn't help but said: "Boss, thank you."

"Why did you say this all of a sudden?"

Cao Yu responded casually, stopped, turned to face the lake, and opened his arms, as if he wanted to embrace Taihu Lake.

"If it weren't for your support, boss, I don't know what I would be doing now."

Zhang Yuqi continued to hint that she knew very well that if she wanted to become more popular and go further, she couldn't do it without a backer, so she had to keep her boss in check.

"Actually, you work very hard."

After speaking, Cao Yu took a deep breath of fresh air, without turning around, but smiled in his heart: "Even without me, you will still be popular in a few years, but your relationship may not go well."

Just as he was thinking about it, a pair of soft arms wrapped around his waist, and his back stiffened.

Then a soft body gently pressed against his back.

"Let's go, I'm not Hei Wa, and you actually come here for real? Are you really afraid that I will take advantage of you just coming to your door?"

Cao Yu secretly thought to himself that this girl is really brave. As expected, as long as a man is handsome and rich, women will really dare to pounce on him.

Just when he was thinking about how to deal with it, he heard Zhang Yuqi whisper: "Boss, am I beautiful?"

"pretty."

In fact, Zhang Yuqi's appearance is not the best in Feiyu Entertainment, but her proud figure can definitely rank among the top five, or even the top three.

In particular, there is a queen-like feeling about her body, which reminds Cao Yu of the blood-soaking temptation scene in "Mermaid".

"Boss, actually I've always wanted to repay you."

"That's not necessary."

Cao Yu felt like he couldn't contain the little devil in his heart.

I want money, and I control the future of countless girls. If I am tempted like this again, it is difficult to guarantee that I will not let myself go in the future.

"Actually, I am willing. You don't have to be responsible."

The woman behind him was still whispering softly, retreating in order to advance.

Zhang Yuqi discovered that this boss was not a ruthless and unjust person, and would definitely not let him down.

Other directors and producers try their best to unofficially provide actresses to their doorsteps. Will the boss reject them?
Cao Yu was actually struggling in his heart.

When I heard "no responsibility", I suddenly thought of the pregnant Li Xiaoshuo. If she let herself go, she would be able to give birth to seven gourd babies, and maybe she could give birth to a football team.

"I don't like this kind of entertainment industry in the first place. I must not become what I originally hated!"

Thinking of this, he whispered: "Let's talk about it later."

With that said, he gently broke away from Zhang Yuqi's arm, and then said: "Let's go back, it's a little cold here."

"???"

Zhang Yuqi was puzzled, the boss was still able to control what he had done just now?

Seeing Boss Cao leaving, although he was a little frustrated, he still refused to admit defeat: "Boss, you can't escape."

After returning to the hotel, Cao Yu locked himself in the room and called Liu Yifei, Yang Shuxue and Li Xiaoshuo. Then he put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart and started writing the script of "Latent".

Cao Yu, who almost became a stallion, kept his bottom line and felt that although he was not a good person, he was not too bad either.In another room, Zhang Yuqi originally wanted to knock on Cao Yu's door.

But after hesitating for a long time, I felt that I had already been rejected once in the evening, and it would be really embarrassing to be rejected again, so I had to wait for the opportunity to take my time.

Bodyguard Pang Yuan witnessed everything tonight, and he admired his brother a little: "You can endure that kind of situation, brother, you are awesome!"

The next day, Cao Yu only visited Hanshan Temple, then hurried back to Kunshan, picked up Li Min, and headed directly to the Magic City.

"Mr. Cao, sometimes I admire your vision, and you have discovered a good prospect. This girl is pretty good."

When she came to Tangren, Cai Yinong fell in love with Li Di the first time she saw him.

"I have an eye for beauty."

Cao Yu misappropriated Yang Mi's words, and then asked: "How did the accounts check go?"

"It's almost done." Cai Yinong said, "I will go to Yanjing with you tomorrow and complete the procedures as soon as possible so that we can celebrate the New Year."

"Then go together."

Although Tangren has been in business for so many years, it doesn’t have any bad debts.

After completing the procedures in the magic city, the group flew back to Yanjing and began preparations for the filming of the second and third parts of "Sword and Fairy".

"I didn't expect that in just a few years, Feiyu has developed so fast. It's really the same every year, and it has trained so many girls. Mr. Cao is playing a big game."

The first thing Cai Yinong did when he came to the company was to visit the company.

Looking at the brand new office environment, advanced equipment, and so many beauties, Cai Yinong was only filled with envy and was glad that she was acquired.

Otherwise, in a few years, with these girls and the capital in Cao Yu's hands, can I defeat him?

"Haha, it's fine."

Cao Yu smiled, said modestly, and then said to Xiao Wu: "Take Li Yi to get to know everyone, and then tell Yang Mi and ask everyone to take more care of her."

"Thank you, Mr. Cao."

Li Yi quickly thanked him and said to himself: "The boss is really a good person."

Now on the ninth floor of Feiyu, except for a few boys, most of them are female artists, which is a bit like a country of girls.

When everyone saw that the company had signed a new person, and they were so delicate and beautiful, everyone except Yang Mi, Zhao Liying and the others felt an invisible pressure.

"I just think the boss likes people with big breasts."

On the other hand, Mao Xiaotong and Zhao Liying, who were reading in the reading room, murmured when they saw Zhang Yuqi, who was looking radiant after returning from a business trip with her boss.

Three women, one play, these girls in Feiyu Company have actually formed several small groups for a long time.

Zhao Liying glanced at the resentful classmate Maomao and smiled deliberately: "What? Are you dissatisfied with yourself? Or are you envious?"

"Hmph, what am I envious of?"

Mao Xiaotong thought that he really didn't have an outstanding figure, so he hummed: "I'm good at dancing, and I got an A in my acting test. Even if I don't rely on these crooked ways, I will become famous sooner or later."

Zhao Liying said: "Then you are saying that I am relying on crooked ways?"

"I'm not talking about you. You have always admired the boss and have liked him for so long. I can understand it when we are with him. I am talking about those who devote themselves to their roles."

"Hey"

Zhao Liying knew that her best friend didn't look down on her, so she shook her head: "I don't know who spread rumors in the company, saying that as long as you behave like the boss, you can get a role. It's really annoying."

Upon hearing this, Mao Xiaotong, who had always been outspoken, quickly shut up and did not answer.

Zhao Liying did not see anything unusual about Mao Xiaotong and continued: "The company plans to make several movies next year, and we don't know what will happen."

Mao Xiaotong finally said: "What? Do you regret your sacrifice?"

"That's not true. The boss is a very nice person. I don't regret it."

Even so, there were more and more girls in the company, and she didn't know what her future would be like.

The Spring Festival of 07 will be later than usual, and will not be celebrated until mid-February.

But throughout January, the entertainment industry almost seemed to be dominated by Feiyu Entertainment.

The box office of "Assembly" has been soaring since the day it was released. In the first half of the month, the box office almost remained above 500 million.

The combined box office sales of Huayi's two films, "Ink Attack" and "Unrest", are not as much as those of other films.

In addition, after watching the clips of "A Thousand Bones", two TV stations, Lychee Channel and Tomato Channel, started a fierce competition for the right to premiere, and Tomato Channel finally got it at a high price of 600 million yuan.

And "Balala Little Demon Fairy" was directly purchased by Yangma Children's Channel and will be broadcast during the Spring Festival.

In addition, "Painted Skin", co-produced by Feiyu and China Film Group, is also being wildly promoted by various media, and many viewers can't wait.

In terms of songs, Zhang Liangying's "My Dream" has become the most popular song this month. Singers such as Zhang Jie and Tan Weiwei have also been competed by several local TV shows.

In mid-January, Cao Yu checked the recent box office performance and was making arrangements with Vice President Chen for the Spring Festival holiday when he received a call from Liu Qiangdong.

"Brother, Ahri wants to participate in the advertising bidding for the Spring Festival Gala this year. Should we compete with them?"

"Ali is going to the Spring Festival Gala to advertise?"

Cao Yu's heart couldn't help but move.

Although the Internet era has arrived, smartphones have not yet been fully promoted. The Spring Festival Gala is still the platform with the greatest exposure and traffic in the country.

Before his rebirth, he remembered that Taobao had indeed attended the Spring Festival Gala, but he could not remember the specific year. After all, he had hardly watched the Spring Festival Gala since Uncle Benshan quit.

Who would have thought that now Ahri is going to attend the Spring Festival Gala ahead of schedule. If he gets his wish, his influence may really surpass that of Jingdong.

"Okay, you can go and have a look."

Cao Yu thought for a while and realized that Uncle Benshan's skits were still attractive to audiences across the country and were a guarantee of the Spring Festival Gala's ratings.

Moreover, Jingdong is about to go public, so it’s not a bad thing to have a presence on the Spring Festival Gala.

He recalled several classic programs from the 07 Spring Festival Gala in his mind, and then called Lu Huateng: "Brother Lu, hurry up and sign up for this year's Spring Festival Gala bidding event."

"Are we going to advertise our QQ and games in the Spring Festival Gala? No need?"

Lu Huateng still doesn't understand.

Cao Yu had no choice but to explain: "Brother Lu, according to the news, there is a skit that can be inserted into our Weibo advertisement."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now."

Lu Huateng heard that it was an advertisement for Weibo. After thinking about it, he immediately nodded and agreed.

It’s January [-]th, and there’s still a whole month left until New Year’s Eve.

It’s snowing heavily in Yanjing, but the bidding venue for the Yangma Spring Festival Gala is bustling with activity, with hundreds of companies gathered here.

There are wealthy liquor manufacturers, as well as two dairy companies that disagree with each other, and leaders in the beverage industry such as Wanglaoji and Wahaha have also arrived.

In addition, major electrical appliance brands are also eyeing it, looking determined to win.

Of course, unlike previous years, this year Internet companies such as Penguin, Baidu, Ali, Jingdong, and New Wolf have been added.

The trio of Cao Yu, Liu Qiangdong, and Lu Huateng arrived. Looking at the bidding venue, they knew that today's bidding would not be easy.

"Mr. Cao, Mr. Lu, Mr. Liu! You are here too."

The two were about to find their position when Ma Yun's unique voice came from not far away.

Cao Yu turned around and found that it was indeed Lao Ma. He stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Ma is here, so naturally we will come to see the excitement."

"My boy is very bad, I believe you!"

Although she was cursing in her heart, Ma Yun still smiled and said: "I also came to see the excitement, but if I have a chance, I still plan to give it a try. You are also a shareholder of Ahri, so you can't favor one thing over another."

As he said that, he glanced at Liu Qiangdong and Lu Huateng intentionally.

"You, an alien, are also very bad. You want to drive a wedge between us? How much share do I have in your Ahri?"

Cao Yu also complained in his heart, keeping a smile on his face: "That must be supported."

"With your words, I feel relieved,"

Ma Yun smiled heartily, and then the four of them separated and came to their respective positions.

Liu Qiangdong looked at Cao Yu who was frowning and thinking, thinking that he was worried about his misunderstanding, so he smiled and said: "Brother, Ma Yun is probably still unhappy about your winning of Ahli's shares."

"I see."

Cao Yu sneered, glanced at the surrounding companies, and asked, "Brother Dong, what is our budget this time?"

"For 1000 million, it's best to get a zero-point New Year's greeting advertisement."

Cao Yu nodded. The 07 million yuan in 1000 was definitely not a small number. However, with more than 100 companies eager to get zero advertising, he was a little unsure about the price.
