China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 394 392. Shameless Boss Cao (5-in-[-], [-]K)

Cheng Long thought Cao Yu's suggestion was a joke.

How can anyone give a negative review to a movie?Could it be that Boss Cao had a sudden idea because he dreamed of something bad last night?
There are so many bad movies every year, how do you evaluate them?Is Boss Cao trying to pull a stunt?

Cao Yu on the side saw Cheng Long's doubts and said: "Brother Cheng Long, as the eldest brother in the film field, tell me, why do we make movies? Make TV series?"

"For money, of course, and beautiful women."

Cheng Long's first reaction was this sentence, but such a big truth is that you know it, I know it, and everyone knows it, so of course it cannot be said out loud.

He smiled and said: "Of course it is to bring artistic enjoyment to the audience."

"Yes, but bad movies are disrespectful to the audience and a form of torture. We offer this award to urge and motivate film workers to make better movies and TV shows to satisfy the people's ever-improving spiritual life."

"hiss"

After Cao Yu finished speaking, Cheng Long took a breath of air.

What Boss Cao said was so touching and great, but he couldn't refute it.

Your company doesn’t produce bad movies, what about other companies?
If you really win a prize, how can you still mess around?
But under the light of money radiating from Boss Cao's body, Cheng Long asked: "What does Boss Cao want me to do?"

Cao Yu solemnly said this time: "After this award is launched, if there are actors or directors in Hong Kong and Taiwan who win awards, I hope you can call on them to come and receive the awards in person."

The Golden Broom Award was not created by Cao Yu. It will be given out in a year. But it has been held for more than ten times. The only big-name actor or director to receive the award in person is Brother Baoqiang. The others are sent by post, and the awards are pitiful. Xi.

He feels that with the support of big names like Cheng Long and his own appeal, the impact of this award will become greater and the effect will be better.

"This, I'll try my best."

Cheng Long felt that this was a difficult matter, but he still reluctantly agreed. At the same time, he also admired Cao Yu's original intention.

Cao Yuxiao promised: "But don't worry, I will definitely make this award a lively one, no worse than other awards!"

"really."

Cheng Long nodded with slight approval.

At this time, I heard Cao Yu add: "I will definitely invite you to be the award presenter for the first time."

Cheng Long immediately blurted out: "Damn it, Boss Cao, don't cheat me like this."

"How can it be called a trap? You coming to present the award also shows that you want to contribute to the film industry."

"It seems to make sense."

Cheng Long rubbed his big nose. Although he was a little moved by Cao Yu, he still felt that he might have been cheated.

The two were chatting when they noticed that Shu Chang was not far away with a little girl. Cheng Long said hurriedly: "They may have something to ask you for, so I won't bother you, but I will go to Yanjing in the next few days. It’s time to get together.”

"no problem."

Cao Yu agreed casually, shook hands with Cheng Long and said goodbye, and walked towards Shu Chang.

"Brother Cao"

When Song Zue saw Cao Yu coming, he happily stepped forward and grabbed his arm and said, "My cousin is looking for you."

"Shu Chang, what's the matter?"

"Thank you in advance for helping me arrange this role."

"You are Sissi's best friend and your acting skills are not bad. This role suits you. There is no need to be polite between us."

"Then I'm welcome. I'll treat you to dinner if I get the chance."

Shu Chang thanked her sincerely, and then said, "I heard that you helped Qianqian get a studio?"

Cao Yu nodded and smiled: "You are quite well-informed, do you want to do one too?"

"no."

Shu Chang hesitated for a while, then said: "As you know, I have never had a brokerage company. Sissi called me yesterday and wanted me to help her, but my cousin is always there for me. Arrangements, I really can’t go, and I don’t know how to tell Sissy.”

"I'll just go back and talk to her about this."

Cao Yu thought it was such a big deal that she was so embarrassed, but it turned out that he just didn't want to help Liu Yifei.

However, he felt that this matter was a little too young and not well thought out. Although the relationship between best friends was good, conflicts would inevitably arise if they worked together.

Seeing Cao Yu's willingness to agree, Shu Chang quickly thanked him: "Thank you then."

"Why are you so polite?" Cao Yu said with a smile: "Although we have a good relationship, I still want to tell you in advance. When filming this "Myth", don't let your cousin mess with me."

"Will not."

Shu Chang's expression immediately felt awkward.

In 06, she took on four dramas at the same time and ran around on the pretext of asking for leave. As a result, she was sued by the crew.

Although Shu Chang won't mess around with Feiyu's scenes, it's better to talk about it in advance.

"I can rest assured that."

Cao Yu just hit the girl, then glanced at the obedient Song Zue beside him, and said with a smile: "Little Nezha, you have grown taller again, why don't you take classes well?"

The "Prequel to the Lotus Lantern" filmed by this girl last year has not been aired yet, but people in the industry naturally know that this drama was completed last year.

"My sister Shu Chang will send me to the crew of "A Dream of Red Mansions" and I will go back to class after filming."

After the little girl explained, she turned her smart eyes to look at Cao Yu, and suddenly said: "The way you spoke just now, it feels like you are my dad. Otherwise, I will call you dad. My dad doesn't want me anyway." "

"what?"

The little girl Song Zu'e suddenly said something, which not only made Cao Yu startled, but even Shu Chang couldn't help scolding: "Juanjuan, how could you do this?"

"Sister, I think Brother Cao's way of teaching people is very similar to the father I remember."

Song Zue said, but immediately took Cao Yu's hand and shouted directly: "Dad, Dad"

"."

Although Cao Yu was speechless after being called, could it be that he picked up a girl for nothing?
He was about to refuse, but seeing the sweet look of this little girl and her subsequent development, he still smiled and said: "It's just a little girl, you can call her whatever you want."

"My dad agrees!"

Song Zue has been with his mother since he was a child. Now he has found a rich father, and he almost jumped with joy.

"Really, you are so inferior."

Shu Chang shook his head and complained, and then felt that it might not be a good thing for her cousin to get into such a big boss.

The main thing is that she and Cao Yu have known each other for many years, and he is not a bad person.

Cao Yu smiled and said: "Haha, you are her cousin, what should you call me?"

"Fuck you, be careful what I tell Sissy."

Shu Chang pushed Cao Yu angrily, and then said: "Since she calls you dad, why don't you send her to film, so that I can rest assured on the set."

"I don't have time. I have to go back to Yanjing tomorrow. There will be an investment fair the day after tomorrow."

Hengdian is not close to Xiangshan. It took at least three hours to drive there before Cao Yu was too lazy to run.

Shu Chang had no choice but to say: "I heard that Sister Qiao's scene will be filmed for two or three days, so I won't bother you, a busy person, and I'll go with her."

"I'm leaving, don't delay the show here."

After Cao Yu nodded and told Shu Chang, he said to Song Zue: "Little girl, take good care of your filming."

"I know, see you dad."

"Ha ha…"

Cao Yu looked at the little girl, smiled inwardly, and left Hengdian with his bodyguards for Hangcheng.

Seeing Cao Yu walking away, Shu Chang immediately scolded his cousin: "How can you get married randomly? How much older is he than you?"

Song Zue calculated it and said with a smile: "He's 16 years older. Anyway, I think this dad is pretty good."

"Humph"

Shu Chang snorted and thought to himself: "Then Qianqian will become Juanjuan's godmother? How can I see her?"

………………

Before Cao Yu came to Hengdian, he had already publicly announced the investment plan for product placement in "If You Are the One".

This investment not only covers automobiles, liquor, airlines, bank cards, computers, mobile phones, beverages, real estate, tourism, insurance and other aspects, but also involves almost every industry, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.

"Shameless! Really shameless!"

When Brother Chen Kai saw this plan, he yelled at Cao Cao in the office: "blaspheming art, this is naked blasphemy of film art!"

"Husband, this is a commercial film. Besides, you can't stop it. Don't get so angry."

Chen Hong could only advise carefully from the side.

Brother Chen Kai, however, has a deep prejudice against Cao Yu and is not happy to scold him: "This thief Cao is a cancer in the entertainment industry. How come God doesn't strike him to death with lightning!"

Huayi.

"My movies are already very well implanted, but this Cao Yu is even more outrageous than me. He dares to attract investment so blatantly and doesn't know how to be sneaky."

Feng Xiaogang also looked at the investment plans online, feeling envious and unhappy at the same time.

Wang Zhonglei advised: "Forget it, if you want to be a bitch, don't build a memorial arch. Feiyu made it clear that they want implants. Isn't making movies just to make money?"

"Mr. Wang, your view of Cao Yu has changed a lot."

Feng Xiaogang looked curiously at Mr. Wang, who had always been Cao Yu's enemy.

Wang Zhonglei explained: "It is better to resolve enemies than to end them. Brother Cheng Long will come in two days. I will set up a game and reconcile with Boss Cao. The best way to make money together is to make money together."

"Hey"

Feng Xiaogang sighed, feeling a little contemptuous of Mr. Wang for shrinking from the battle.

"What do you know? I am called bearing humiliation and bear the burden. I am the same as Han Xin."

Wang Zhonglei said in his heart, but now only he and his brother know about the plan to deal with Cao Yu, and even Feng Xiaogang cannot reveal it.After Feng Xiaogang sighed, he suddenly said: "How about we also engage in this kind of investment promotion activity before the launch of "Tangshan Earthquake"? Learn from Feiyu?"

"I just scolded someone else, and now you want to do the same thing, pants, you are both responsible and upright."

Wang Zhonglei muttered in his heart, rolled his eyes, and said, "Go and talk to my brother about this matter. I don't care about anything anymore. I plan to be a second generation ancestor."

"Good."

Feng Xiaogang was a little relieved to see Mr. Wang like this, feeling that the company should be on the right track.

However, he was a little curious about how much money Feiyu could make from this investment.

Although Director Chen and Director Feng despised the practice of "Director Cao", unfortunately, due to the reputation of "Feiyu products must be high-quality products", this incident still caused quite a stir in the business circle.

Especially after Wuliangye was implanted in "Let the Bullets Fly", sales directly increased by hundreds of millions, which made peers extremely jealous.

But in that movie, there was only one implant, and it was a famous scene, so the effect was naturally great.

There are more than a dozen advertisements this time. Although many merchants feel that the effect may not be as good as that of Wuliangye, it should not be bad.

Mainly, Feiyu's movies have always been very good in terms of reputation and box office. If there is a box office, there will be an audience. When the time comes, the publicity effect may be much stronger than that of the Spring Festival Gala.

March 25, Feiyu Entertainment.

"Director Ning, have the actors been decided yet?"

"The main actors have been decided, and through Uncle Ge's relationship, we also found the Japanese friend."

As the deputy director, Ning Hao reported the preparations to his boss: "It's just that Fan Wei's secretary hasn't been decided yet."

"this person"

Cao Yu was very impressed by the woman in the movie, mainly because of her amazing figure.

But it seems that apart from this movie, the girl whose surname seems to be Gong has never seen any of his other works. No one knows where she is now, so there is no need to look for her.

He thought for a moment and then said: "Let Song Qian play this role. It doesn't require any acting skills anyway."

"Boss, I've written it down."

Ning Hao agreed and then asked: "What else does Mr. Cao have to explain about tomorrow's investment promotion event? Do you want to call reporters in?"

Cao Yu nodded: "You can ask for some, not too many. Remember to prepare red envelopes."

"I understand this. Each person still has three sixes."

Ning Hao agreed and left with a smile.

On March 26, the Feiyu conference room was filled with representatives of various businesses, including more than 40 companies, which was even more lively than the last time Feiyu Video raised money.

Before the investment fair started, the boss of Jiannanchun said to the boss of Wuliangye: "Mr. Zeng, your Wuliangye sales increased so much last time. Give us this opportunity."

"Haha. Let's take a look later."

Although the two families were familiar with each other, the boss of Wuliangye just smiled and did not agree.

There is already some competition between the two liquor companies here, and China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines, and Hainan Airlines are also gearing up next to them.

Not to mention, the competition among automobiles has become more intense. Representatives of Japanese automobile companies such as Toyota and Honda were very unhappy when they looked at Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, etc.

Among these businesses, the ones with the least pressure are mobile phones and real estate, because Boss Cao has already given the implantation of mobile phones to Huawei and Huanyu Real Estate.

This is called keeping the rich water from outsiders' fields.

At nine o'clock in the morning, amid everyone's expectations, Cao Yu, the protagonist of this investment promotion event, finally walked in with director Ning Hao.

"First of all, thank you for watching our Feiyu movie. I won't say any unnecessary nonsense. Let's start this investment promotion now."

After Cao Yu finished speaking, he sat on the chair and handed the microphone to Ning Hao.

"The first implant is a laptop. In the movie, the protagonist, Uncle Ge, will use the computer to post advertisements, and there will be a two-second close-up of the brand. I wonder which company is interested in this implant?"

Ning Hao flipped through the information and explained the details of the first advertisement.

"Dell offered 200 million!"

“Tsinghua Tongfang 210 million!”

"Lenovo bids 240 million..."

……

As several computer brands began bidding, the price of this product placement reached 350 million.

In the end, Dell was the richer and won the implant directly for 360 million.

"I'll go, no wonder Boss Cao is so rich. I'm convinced by this method!"

Just a small, inconspicuous advertisement could earn more than 300 million yuan. The dozen or so reporters who were allowed in were dumbfounded.

"The price of this appetizer is so high. It seems that the competition will be more intense in the future."

When other merchants saw this situation, they also knew that the next bidding would not be easy.

"The second advertisement is for the airline where the heroine works. Not only will the name of the airline be mentioned in the lines, but its services and aircraft will also be displayed."

Before Ning Hao finished speaking, the representative of China Eastern Airlines immediately raised his hand.

"500 million!"

"I'm confused. Are airlines so wealthy?"

When the reporters heard this price, they all gasped.

But as soon as China Eastern Airlines' voice fell, China Southern Airlines offered a higher price: "800 million!"

HNA was not to be outdone: "1000 million!"

China Eastern Airlines has always been the service provider for Mr. Cao’s private jet. He immediately said: “We can provide free maintenance and flight services for Mr. Cao’s aircraft for one year!”

The annual service and maintenance cost for a private jet is approximately US$200-300 million.

The price offered by China Eastern Airlines is half higher than that of Hainan Airlines.

"1000 million, plus one year of free service!"

HNA has long wanted to steal Boss Cao's business, and now is the opportunity.

As soon as this offer came out, the other two companies became entangled.

Keep calling, it’s a bit too high, it’s already over 2000 million, so don’t call. Let HNA take advantage.

China Eastern Airlines is also a big boss in the industry. The representative thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Cao, Director Ning, please wait a moment. I'll make a call and I'll be right back."

"I'll make a call too."

Hainan Airlines and China Southern Airlines also said they would like to seek instructions.

"can."

Boss Cao was naturally happy to see this situation.

After a while, the representative of China Eastern Airlines came back from outside and said directly: "We can offer [-] yuan, plus one and a half years of service!"

"Haha, 800 million, two years of free service, Mr. Cao, we are very sincere and hope that HNA can provide you with the best travel experience."

After making the call, the HNA representative immediately produced the results of the request he had just made.

"Depend on!"

The representatives of China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines cursed in their hearts. He did not expect that Hainan Airlines would work so hard.

Although the cost of two years of service may only be around US$300 million, if you add in US$800 million, it will be close to US$4000 million.

"Should I ask for more instructions?"

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Cao Yu nodded from his seat.

The quality of HNA's flight attendants is well-known in the industry, so it's not bad for them.

"It jumped from a few million to tens of millions. Boss Cao is awesome! He's really awesome!"

The reporters were shocked again.

However, the next few advertisements, such as those for bank cards and insurance, were not very eye-catching. Although the competition was fierce, the price was within 500 million.

Even so, the amount of previous product placements has exceeded 200 million.

Ning Hao also smiled like a chrysanthemum on his face and picked up a piece of information, which was exactly how liquor was shown in the movie.

Seeing that the bidding for liquor was about to begin, the reporters immediately focused their cameras on several liquor bosses.

When other merchants participated in this advertising and investment promotion, they basically sent representatives or managers, but for the liquor business, only the bosses came.

"It seems that the fun is about to begin."

"Where is this? As far as I know, cars are the most fiercely competitive. Haven't you seen that the three major Japanese brands and several German brands are ready to compete?"

"Boss Cao's move is shameless, but it is still enviable. I don't know how much advertising money he will get in the end."

"I have no idea, is this going to set a record for Chinese film advertising placement?"

"It's possible. It's already over 3000 million now. Including liquor and cars, it's estimated to be at least 5000 million."

"Conservative"

Amid the discussions among reporters, Ning Hao announced with a smile: "The male and female protagonists are drinking, the liquor packaging has close-ups, and there are lines to emphasize the brand."

"Since the heroine also drinks, this advertisement must belong to our Jiannanchun. Our wine focuses on softness."

Jiannanchun's boss immediately showed his advantage and said: "In addition, we will invest another 1000 million yuan in advertising!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, other manufacturers immediately said: "Mr. Qiao, my wine is not soft?"

"Let's get started. The starting price is 1000 million, and the winery is still rich!"

After experiencing the competition for the airlines, the reporters present became excited once, feeling that this investment promotion event would definitely become bigger news than the movie.
