China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 317 315. Art cannot be tarnished

Although everyone on the Mango stage felt that Cao Yu was annoying and his demands were a bit excessive, the contract was finally signed.

50 per episode, a total of 68 episodes, and the show has already recovered its cost before filming even started.

After signing the contract, Ouyang Changlin felt that he was almost sincere this time, and asked again: "Mr. Cao, you have seen the strength of our Mango Channel and my sincerity in cooperation. Do you think about the variety show?"

"I believe in your sincerity, and we are also aiming for a win-win situation."

Cao Yu handed the contract to his secretary and kept it, and then said: "I will think about the variety show when I get back. If I have good ideas and plans, I will give you priority this time."

"That's fine."

Having said that, Ouyang Changlin could only get off the slope and nodded.

At this moment, one of Ouyang Changlin's subordinates suddenly said: "Mr. Cao, your talent show for "Dream of Red Mansions" actors will start on May Day, right?"

Cao Yu didn't know what this person meant, so he responded casually: "Yes, starting from May Day, it is expected to take four to five days."

The subordinate didn't ask any more questions, and turned to Ouyang Changlin and said: "Director, last year Yanjing TV produced "A Dream of Red Mansions", can we also turn Feiyu's talent show into a variety show? "

"Yup!"

Ouyang Changlin suddenly came to his senses and immediately said to Cao Yu: "Mr. Cao, this is a good idea. With the strength of our two families, we will definitely be able to stir up interest in this draft. It will also be a good publicity for your drama."

"I do not like this."

Just when everyone, including secretary Wu Yueting, thought this was a good suggestion, Cao Yu shook his head.
Ouyang Changlin asked doubtfully: "Mr. Cao, does he think the time is too tight? Don't worry, there is still one week, there is enough time, as long as you nod, all the expenses for this audition will be paid for by our Mango Stage."

"It's not a matter of time, and it's not a matter of money."

Cao Yu said word for word: "This is just an ordinary audition. I don't want to hype it up. This time we filmed "Red Mansions" to pay tribute to the classics. We must not turn it into a variety show."

At this point, his expression became quite solemn: "Art cannot be tarnished!"

"."

The atmosphere in the reception room froze instantly after Cao Yu said these words.

But after a while, no one knew who it was and chuckled, as if they heard a big joke.

Although Ouyang Changlin felt that Cao Yu might be pretending, he still turned around and glared at the subordinate.

At this time, the station director actually admired Cao Yu and understood why he spent more than 1000 million on a film with almost no ratings.

He admired him, but he still said: "Mr. Cao, I am more than 20 years older than you. Your idea is very good. If it were ten years ago, I would strongly agree with your opinion."

As he said, his tone changed as expected: "But times have changed now. The "Da Ming 1566" we filmed last year is a good example. Now entertainment and happiness come first. As long as the audience likes to watch, we will give them whatever they want. , you are younger than me, I don’t believe Mr. Cao doesn’t understand this?”

"I understand, but art should be serious, but when it's time to entertain, I will also play, forget about adapting the talent show into a variety show."

Cao Yu was still like a stone in a latrine, unmoved at all.

"Is this really a young man? Why do I feel like his thoughts are more old-fashioned than mine?"

Ouyang Changlin was a little suspicious that this man was about the same age as himself, but Boss Cao refused, so he could only say helplessly: "No wonder Feiyu Entertainment's films can maintain the quality. I guess Boss Cao's attitude towards art plays a key role. , then I won’t force it anymore and just wait for Mr. Cao’s creativity.”

"Thank you for understanding."

Cao Yu also admired the level of the director and stood up and extended his hand.

Ouyang Changlin held Cao Yu's hand: "Mr. Cao, it's almost time. Let's have dinner together in the evening and try some authentic Hunan cuisine."

"Ok."

Cao Yu is not afraid of drinking. Are people from the northwest afraid of people from the south?

Several people left the reception room and were about to go downstairs when they saw Yang Mi and Zhao Liying heading to the recording site under the leadership of He Yan.

"Cao Yu? Why is he here too?"

In the crowd, a handsome man suddenly noticed Cao Yu, who was accompanied by the director of Mango Channel, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

He didn't expect to meet this person here.

Cao Yu also discovered Lin Zhiying and couldn't help but think of the time when he stole the other party's role.

But he immediately noticed that the other person's eyes were a little unkind: "Is he still remembering grudges? He's not so small-minded, is he?"

The two parties were relatively far away, and Cao Yu didn't go over to say hello, so he went downstairs with Ouyang Changlin and the others.

After dinner, we went to the hotel arranged by Mango Terrace.

After Yang Mi and the others returned here in the evening, they immediately complained to Cao Yu: "Brother, when Lin Zhiying was recording the show today, he seemed to be deliberately targeting me and Li Ying, and deliberately made us look embarrassed several times."

"Oh?"

Cao Yu raised his eyes, remembering the way Lin Zhiying looked at him, and said with a smile: "If he still targets you tomorrow, you and Liying will fight back. Don't be afraid, even if things get serious, I will support you."

If you dare to bully your own woman and return two, then give her a hard time.

"I knew that brother hurt me the most."

"Of course I love you, so why don't you show off tonight?"

"Brother, you can do whatever you want." "This is what you said."

Cao Yu smiled evilly, and Yang Mi immediately felt that her decision just now was wrong, and hurriedly got up and ran away: "I will still be recording the program tomorrow, I can't be seen by others."

The next day was the official recording of Kuaiben. Yang Mi and Zhao Liying went to Mango Channel early.

Cao Yu, who had nothing to do, originally planned to go on a trip, but when he remembered Lin Zhiying's incident, he accompanied Yang Mi to the Mango Stage, and then secretly sneaked into the Kuaiben auditorium wearing sunglasses.

The recording started, and after an opening dance, He Juan and several hosts took the lead on the stage, and bursts of applause instantly came from the stage.

Kuaiben is the flagship program of Mango Channel. It has its own heritage and reputation. Those who can be invited to participate are all relatively popular stars in the industry recently.

"Welcome everyone to watch our "Happy Camp" on Saturday night. I am your favorite He Ji, and behind me..."

"happy family!"

Under the light, He Juan stood in front very skillfully and said half of the opening remarks. The three hosts next to him said these five words in unison.

Even though it's only Tuesday, this show airs on Saturday, so I have to say Saturday.

"The atmosphere is so lively. Is it because all the handsome guys and beauties we invited today?"

After the applause, Li Weijia began to introduce today's guests.

"Are you saying we are not beautiful?"

Xie Na immediately pretended to be dissatisfied, and He Jiong immediately responded: "Of course you are beautiful, but we are inviting a few people today who are not only beautiful, but can also act."

Wu Xin pretended to be surprised: "Who is it?"

"Do you know the great beauty Zhou Zhiruo in Jin Yong's novel?"

"Is it Gao Yuanyuan? I like her the most."

Wu Xin looked exaggerated, like a stupid kid who didn't know anything.

"Yes, let us applaud our first guest today, Gao Yuanyuan."

With the music playing, Gao Yuanyuan, who looked very fashionable in a white suit and black pants, walked onto the stage.

Gao Yuanyuan is very popular, especially when he played the role of a woman named Bai Xue in the ongoing film "The Great Qin Empire" and in the ongoing movie "The Talented Man and the Beautiful Woman", and he has become the ideal type in the hearts of men.

"Ha ha."

In the audience, Cao Yu smiled faintly and said to himself: "Kuai Ben is quite good at creating an atmosphere. Teacher He is really good, but it's just about classmate Yuanyuan."

He had no comment.

On the stage, several hosts interacted with Gao Yuanyuan for a while, and Wu Xin smiled and said: "Teacher He, didn't you say there are several beauties today? Who else is there?"

"It's great to take over this one. She was the heroine of the movie with the best box office last year, the new Miss Mou."

"so smart?"

"Have you guessed who she is?"

"Zhao Liying!"

"Wow!"

Several admiring hosts screamed, and under the lights, Zhao Liying, wearing the costume of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", walked onto the stage.

"Wow, our little bone is here!"

Wu Xin jumped up even more exaggeratedly, looking extremely excited.

"This outfit is exactly the same as on TV. The audience is in for a treat today."

On the stage, Zhao Liying's cuteness and Gao Yuanyuan's beauty really seemed to compete with each other.

It was the first time for Zhao Liying to appear on this show. She was still cautious at first. He Yan and other hosts asked her a few questions, and Zhao Liying felt better. At the same time, the atmosphere on the scene was heated up.

"Teacher He, were you born in 74? Are you 33 this year?"

"Who said that? I am 23 this year."

There was another burst of laughter.

After laughing, Xie Na added: "You look young, but there is someone the same age as you who looks younger than you. Do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it, I want to compare with him."

"Don't worry, this person starred in a very good TV series this year called "Sheep Star", and there was also a beautiful woman from South Korea in it."

"Really? I can't wait to meet them."

I have to say that early Kuaiben was really good at creating an atmosphere and making everyone laugh.

"Please invite Lin Zhiying and Liu Hana!"

The applause was loud and enthusiastic.
