China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 303 Chapter 301. Hidden in the snow or submerged?

The day after returning from Han Bang, Cao Yu appeared at the company in a happy mood.

"I didn't expect that with Director Zhang's blessing, the box office would be so high?"

Cao Yu was a little surprised when he looked at the report brought by his secretary.

The assembly number was just released two days ago. The total box office in the Mainland exceeded the 2000 million mark for the first time and was finally settled at [-] million. It not only broke the box office record of Zhang Yimou's movie, but also broke the box office record of Chinese movies.

“I don’t know if ‘Painted Skin’ can break the record again.”

Looking at this long list of numbers, Cao Yu knew that it was all money.

Excluding the cost, the movie's revenue is at least [-] million.

This does not include the box office in Hong Kong, Taiwan, overseas, and copyright income.

After reading these reports, Cao Yu said with a smile: "Let Vice President Chen sort out the artists' income and expenditure this year, and give everyone bonuses during the New Year!"

"Thank you, Mr. Cao."

Xiao Wu happily agreed, knowing that everyone would definitely be able to get a lot of money to celebrate the New Year this year.

Having just finished dealing with the recent backlog of work, Cao Yu was going upstairs to take a look when Zhao Liying and Mao Xiaotong knocked on the door and came in.

Seeing the two people hesitating, Cao Yu took the lead and said: "Liying, how about going to Shanghai to promote "A Thousand Bones of Flowers"?"

"pretty good."

Zhao Liying replied, then poked Mao Xiaotong: "Speak quickly."

"I"

Mao Xiaotong grabbed the hem of his clothes, his face was tangled, and he seemed to have difficulty speaking.

"what you want to say?"

"Boss, I'm sorry."

Mao Xiaotong held it in for a long time and finally choked out these words.

"I'm sorry? Why are you apologizing to me all of a sudden? What happened? Did you get into trouble in the magical city?"

Cao Yu just wanted to break his head, but he didn't know what the two girls were going to say, so he started to make wild guesses.

"No."

Mao Xiaotong shook his head and rumpled his clothes.

When Cao Yu saw her look, could it be that this girl saw her good friends blossoming in movies and TV shows and wanted to get a good role?
Therefore, he didn't ask any further questions. He just looked at her with interest, wanting to see how this girl would speak.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether you live or die."

Finally, Mao Xiaotong felt a little uncomfortable when Cao Yu looked at him. He muttered silently in his heart and said, "Boss, the rumor about you in the company some time ago came from me."

"Ok?"

This unexpected surprise made Cao Yu even unexpected, and his face that had been smiling just now suddenly turned gloomy.

He looked at Mao Xiaotong, then at Zhao Liying, and said in a deep voice: "Liying, you should go out first."

"do not"

Mao Xiaotong was startled, feeling inexplicably panicked, and wanted to hold his friend back.

Zhao Liying noticed Cao Yu's angry look and whispered: "Boss, Xiaotong actually didn't mean it."

"Go out and I'll ask her myself."

Cao Yu emphasized his tone and looked very dissatisfied.

"Oh"

Zhao Liying originally didn't want to leave her friend behind, but when she saw that Cao Yu, who was both her boss and her man, had a colder face, she had no choice but to nod.

Before leaving, he even encouraged Mao Xiaotong: "To be honest, the boss won't do anything to you. I'll wait for you outside."

"Don't go."

Mao Xiaotong became even more panicked when he saw that his best friend was leaving, leaving him alone to face this philandering boss.

But Zhao Liying opened the door alone and left the office.

Cao Yu sat on the sofa and asked calmly: "Tell me, how did you spread the rumor? What did you say specifically?"

Although I know that this girl is outspoken, this is the entertainment industry. If she speaks out like this, she will get into trouble sooner or later, and she will definitely suffer in the future, so she must be taught some lessons today.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Mao Xiaotong also regrets it now. If it is a small matter, it is just gossip, but if it is a big deal, it is ruining someone's reputation, so he can only keep apologizing.

"I don't want to hear this. I want to know what you said."

"Laiying was filming outside at the time, and I was the only one who joined the company in the early days. I casually complained that you would give good roles to anyone who slept with you. But others accidentally heard me. I don’t know if this sentence will spread in the company.”

At this point, she apologized again: "I'm sorry, boss, I really didn't mean it."

"Haha, you slept with me?"

Cao Yu finally understood where his shit basin came from.

I think Liu Yifei was probably embarrassed to use the word "hidden rules" when telling her.

He stood up with a cold face and approached Mao Xiaotong step by step: "Are you saying this because you are not convinced, or do you also want a role?"

"I do not want."

At this time, Mao Xiaotong was frightened, folded his hands on his chest, and took a step back.

"Really?" Cao Yu stared at her and continued to approach.

"Really, I will fight for the role myself. Boss, don't come over, or I will shout."

Mao Xiaotong was so frightened that she continued to retreat. She looked so pitiful that she was really afraid that this philandering boss would do something to her.

"You yell, it's useless even if your throat is broken."

Cao Yu remembered this special saying for bad guys and continued to approach the girl whose face turned pale with fear.

Mao Xiaotong had seen the boss's words on TV and in books, and was even more worried. He could only keep retreating, and suddenly felt that his back was leaning against the wall.

"Are you afraid now?"

Cao Yu stretched out his arm and suddenly gave Mao Xiaotong a wall. He looked down at her and said, "In your eyes, am I that kind of person? Then I will give you the role of Sugar Baby in "A Thousand Bones of Flowers". You are now Should you get into my bed?"

"no."

Mao Xiaotong looked at the tall man in front of him who was constantly approaching him, and his heart almost jumped into his throat.

"Don't you know that sometimes trouble comes from your mouth? Just by your words, I will either hide you or hide you. It's your choice."

Cao Yu's face was already only a few inches away from Mao Xiaotong's delicate and pretty face, and both of them could feel the other's hot breath.

"I"

Facing the boss's approach, Mao Xiaotong was so nervous that he didn't know what to say and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But as soon as she said one word, Cao Yu continued: "If you get into my bed, I will make you famous. I will make you like Zhao Liying and Yang Mi. You can make a lot of money. It's so easy. Why are you hesitating?"

At this time, he looked like a devil to Mao Xiaotong.

"I do not want!"

Mao Xiaotong's chest kept rising and falling. Suddenly, she seemed to have used all her strength to yell out such a sentence.

Cao Yu didn't expect that this girl with a soft yet strong temper could still stick to her principles at such a time, so she admired her a little.

However, he continued to say deliberately: "Haha, don't want to? Then how do you count the fact that you slandered me?"

"I know I was wrong. You can fire me, or terminate the contract with the company. As for the liquidated damages, I will pay you back slowly in the future!"

"Fire you? You are so beautiful, it would be a shame to fire you."

Cao Yu smiled faintly, then shook his head and said: "However, your figure is, tsk tsk, just like a bamboo pole, so I'm not interested. However, I have good news to tell you."

Mao Xiaotong was slightly relieved when he heard that his boss was not interested in him, but then he felt that he had been hit.

"What do you mean it's like a bamboo pole?"

She became so stubborn that she puffed up her chest and glared, "I don't listen to any news."

"Really?"

Cao Yu still maintained his posture and said with a smile: "I asked you to be the heroine and you didn't listen?"

"What? You lied to me, I didn't agree."

Mao Xiaotong thought that Cao Yu was lying to him or had some demands on him, so he blurted out what was in his heart.

Fortunately, halfway through the sentence, the person below "get on your bed" was too embarrassed to say it, so he had to shut up immediately.

"Fortunately, you stepped back from the brink, otherwise... haha, I might have changed my mind."

Cao Yu felt that it was enough to teach this girl a lesson, so he straightened up and sat back on the chair: "The way you looked just now, you looked a bit like Lin Daiyu. If there is no problem in the audition, will it be okay for you to play Sister Lin?"

"Really?"

This news surprised even Mao Xiaotong.

The company is preparing to film Dream of Red Mansions. This matter has been rumored for almost half a year, but there has been no news. Unexpectedly, the boss actually agreed to audition Lin Daiyu?
"I also tell you that I am not what you think. I choose roles based on suitability. Of course, Yang Mi, Li Ying, and Lan Lan like me, and sometimes they will prefer their own women. This is normal. "

After Cao Yu finished speaking, he sneered: "I let you play Lin Daiyu because you met my requirements. However, you'd better keep your mouth shut in the future! Otherwise, I will really hide you."

"I see."

For the first time, Mao Xiaotong felt a little guilty.

Although the boss is very troublesome, he is a really nice person. No wonder Zhao Liying likes him so much.

Moreover, when the boss pushed back just now, I almost agreed.

"Since you did it unintentionally, I will forgive you this time and go ahead."

Cao Yu guessed that Zhao Liying was outside the door, and even if he really wanted to do something with this girl, it would not be now.

"Thank you, boss, for causing you trouble."

Mao Xiaotong glanced at Cao Yu with an apologetic look, then slowly turned around and left.

Looking at the leaving figure, Cao Yu sat on the table and smiled: "This girl, regardless of her figure, is really sweet and lovely, and she looks delicate. I don't know what Lin Daiyu was like when she auditioned. "

"Lin Daiyu is here, Li Xin's Miaoyu is here, and Aunt Liu's Mrs. Wang is here. Who will give the Baochai with a face like a silver basin? And where are Baoyu and Wang Xifeng?"

"It seems that once we get the filming permit, we can only advertise to recruit suitable actors, and then train the actors for half a year before starting filming."

Cao Yu rubbed his temples and remembered the filming process of the 87 version of "A Dream of Red Mansions". He admired the spirit of treating classics back then.

This script of mine will be released after the year and can be filmed after filing. However, although there are many girls in the company, there are not many who can play these three important roles.

"Classics are hard to copy, and even harder to surpass."

Cao Yu let out a helpless sigh.
