China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 357 Chapter 355. Me and you

The process of signing two future traffic niche players, Xiao Juan and Ou Hao, went smoothly without any setbacks.

Moreover, Boss Cao promised Xiao's father that he would find a way for Xiao Zhan to go to Nortel in the future, dispelling the father's last doubts.

The main actors of the drama "Dream of Red Mansions" have basically been finalized. Cao Yu and his party this time are considered to be a successful conclusion.

However, instead of returning to Yanjing, he drove to Jinling to confirm the variety show with Lizhitai.

"Mr. Cao, you are finally here."

Deputy Director Yang is retiring this year, and he really wants to create another popular variety show before retiring.

"Yang Tai, I actually have a variety show that I have been planning in my mind for a long time. It's just that this variety show has the same name as a new movie of mine. I originally planned to wait until the movie is released before launching this variety show."

"What type of variety show?"

"A large-scale variety show of the blind date type."

"Blind date?"

Deputy Director Yang was slightly disappointed when he heard this idea.

Dating type variety shows were actually born in the 80s.

In the 90s, Yanjing TV launched a program called "We Met Tonight", which was a minor sensation at the time.

Later, several local TV stations such as Tomato Channel and Mango Channel successively launched programs such as "A Date with a Rose", "A Man and a Woman Get Married", and "Tonight's Love", making love and marriage variety shows no longer new.

Cao Yu saw Deputy Director Yang's disappointment and smiled: "The variety show I designed is different from the previous shows."

With that said, he took the plan document from the secretary and handed it over with a smile.

"If it's not just a dating variety show, what else can you do?"

Deputy Director Yang was hesitant. He opened the plan and only took a rough look at it, then sighed in his heart: "It seems that I am getting old and it's time to retire."

Although this variety show program provided by Cao Yu is also a blind date, it pays more attention to entertainment and topicality. The blind date mode of 1 man vs. 24 women shows the various aspects of single people and can also arouse the expectations of the audience. The effect of the program goes far beyond The category of "blind date".

"Good! Good! Good!"

He read it in one breath, immediately shouted "good" three times, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Cao will never disappoint people. This idea is great, why not start working on it next year."

"But my movie is planned to be released during the Lunar New Year next year."

Cao Yu was a little hesitant. If this program was launched first, would it affect the box office of the movie?
Seeing that Cao Yu was in trouble, Deputy Director Yang had to say: "Mr. Cao, to be honest, I was supposed to retire in December this year. I wanted to do something before retiring and retire with great success. Your variety show is really It’s pretty good, and it’s just the right finishing touch before my retirement.”

At this point, he sounded even more regretful: "If I had to wait for the movie to be released, even if I postponed my retirement for a year, it would probably be too late."

Cao Yu also became troubled when he looked at the deputy director who had gray hair on his temples and looked somewhat similar to Yang Shuxue.

"Maybe variety shows can help the box office, but even if they have an impact, it doesn't matter."

After being silent for a while, thinking of Yang Shuxue's kindness to him, he nodded and said: "Yang Tai has said so. Besides, Sister Shu Xue and I are good friends, and you are also my elder, so let's start preparations now, and we can start it next year. "

"Mr. Cao, thank you so much."

Deputy Director Yang did not expect Boss Cao to agree immediately. He came over and whispered: "I can give you an extra 3% share of this contract. Anyway, you and Shu Xue are good friends."

"???"

Cao Yu was stunned, looking at the old man's wise eyes, and thought to himself: "It seems that he should have guessed a little bit about my relationship with Shu Xue."

After finalizing the cooperation and signing the contract, Cao Yu returned to Hangzhou overnight.

"I still owe Director Zhang a song."

On the plane back to Yanjing from Hangzhou, Cao Yu wrote a song. Behind him, Yang Shuxue gently squeezed his shoulders. It seemed that he knew that he had helped Deputy Director Yang.

"me and you"

Yang Shuxue doesn’t understand musical notation, so she only reads the lyrics: “Heart to heart, living together in the global village”

Just looking at these lyrics, she smiled and said: "Is this written for the Olympics? The lyrics are a bit simple."

"The simpler the song, the harder it is to sing."

Cao Yu explained and said: "This song will only be sung well by Teacher Liu Huan."

"The requirements are so high?"

"Yes, the more lyrics and the happier the melody, the more pleasant the song will sound even if your singing skills are average. On the contrary, this kind of song is the most difficult to sing."

Cao Yu explained, trying to think of the English lyrics.

Although his language talent is average, he can't bear to say that he once stayed in the United States for more than two months and went there frequently. Although I can't say how good his English is now, he can still carry out ordinary conversations.

"You and me, From one world, We are family. Husband, your English is good now."

Yang Shuxue praised the song sincerely after reading the English part of the lyrics.

"You are a top student, don't make fun of me." Cao Yu is still self-aware of his English proficiency.

"What I said is true. Although the sentence 'Put your hand in mine' is not difficult to look at, it is expressed very cleverly and well written."

Yang Shuxue lowered her head, kissed the man, and put her face against Cao Yu's.

"Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to you are sweet. If I have been with you for so long, I will naturally make progress."

"You have a sweeter mouth."

These words of love made Yang Shuxue smile charmingly. Before Cao Yu could finish writing, she sat in the man's arms and said, "Give me a taste."

Back in Yanjing, Cao Yu sent Yang Shuxue home and went to find Zhang Yimou with the song "You and Me".

"So fast?"

When Zhang Yimou got the music, his first impression was that it was fast.

Cao Yu said with a smile: "How dare I delay what Director Zhang told me. Besides, the Olympics is a big event."

"Haha, I thought it would take at least a month, but I didn't expect you to get it out in less than a week."

While talking, Zhang Yimou read the song over and praised: "Director Zhang Jizhong is right, you never disappoint. This song is very good, and this kind of song that combines Chinese and English has a high chance of being selected. "

As he spoke, he added: "However, although you and I have a good relationship, I don't have the final say on the theme song alone. Whether your song can be used in the end depends on the opinions of other judges."

"I understand."

Cao Yu doesn't care. If he can be selected as the best, it doesn't matter if he can't.

"Xiao Cao, since you are here, come with me to rehearse and see. Most of the programs you planned have passed."

Zhang Yimou was in a good mood and extended an invitation to Cao Yu.

"Okay, let's take a look."

Cao Yu was also interested, and he and Zhang Yimou drove to the Daxing rehearsal venue.

The Olympic opening ceremony started in August 07. Because of the large number of people, many programs required a full year of rehearsals.

When Cao Yu came here, he found that this large rehearsal venue was divided into several areas and accommodated tens of thousands of people.

"For 10 minutes on stage, people in the audience don't know how much sweat they have put in."

Although it was still a holiday, Cao Yu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at countless young people training formations under the scorching sun.

"There is no way. This is the first time our country has held a world-class event. It is also a stage to showcase the national weather. Everyone from top to bottom attaches great importance to it."

As the chief director, Zhang Yimou introduced as he walked: "Now we are just rehearsing alone. In May next year, we will have the final rehearsal at the Bird's Nest. That is the most important time."

While chatting, the two came to a square. This place was different from other places. Everyone was wearing various national costumes.

"This is the part where national costumes are displayed."

Zhang Yimou made an introduction and then walked over with Cao Yu.

"These ethnic costumes are really beautiful."

Cao Yu thought to himself as his eyes scanned these young men and women of various ethnic groups from different places.

Suddenly, his eyes stopped on a person.

"Nazha? There is still her?"

Cao Yu was a little surprised because he found a familiar-looking girl in the crowd.

"Xiao Cao, what are you looking at?"

Zhang Yimou noticed that Cao Yu had been staring at the crowd and asked curiously.

Cao Yu smiled and said: "I saw a girl who looked pretty good. I was thinking about whether I should go over and ask her to sign in to our company."

Following Cao Yu's gaze, Zhang Yimou discovered that the girl that Boss Cao was talking about not only had exquisite facial features, a tall and graceful figure, but also had this exotic style. She was indeed a rare beauty. He couldn't help but admire Boss Cao's vision.

"You kid, you actually want to poach people from my place?"

He joked, but still called a staff member.

After asking, it turned out that the girl's name was Nazha and she was a dancer.

After confirming his identity, Cao Yu asked: "Director Zhang, can I go talk to her?"

"That won't do."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yimou refused.
