China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 406 404. Just took a hot spring bath (4-in-[-], [-]K)

"I just said that the investment was full."

Seeing that Cao Yu dared to invest after just casually reading the script, Wang Zhonglei couldn't help complaining.

This film is an anti-Japanese drama. Huayi's previous production "My Leader, My Regiment" received very poor ratings. The company has planned to focus on urban dramas and movies.

So when Galloping Horse came up with this script, he didn't even have any idea of ​​investing in it. He just asked the company's Wang Baoqiang to play the male lead.

"Has the trend in the market changed again? Are anti-Japanese dramas becoming popular again?"

Although Wang Zhonglei was doubtful, he immediately thought about the popular TV series recently. They seemed to be either costume dramas or urban dramas, and they really didn't have anti-Japanese themes.

"Haha, it seems that Boss Cao sometimes makes mistakes."

Smiling secretly in his heart, he said to the galloping Mr. Zhang: "If Boss Cao is willing to invest, this drama will definitely become popular. Feiyu's production will have a reputation of being a high-quality product."

I praise it on my lips, but in my heart I want to watch this drama hit the streets.

"Hopefully."

Mr. Zhang responded helplessly and said to Cao Yu: "How much does Mr. Cao plan to invest?"

"I think this script is very good. What's your budget?"

"Only thirty million."

"Then I will invest [-] million and we will jointly produce it."

"Ok."

Mr. Zhang thought for a while and felt that what Wang Zhonglei said might not be unreasonable, so he happily agreed.

Although he is optimistic about the script, no matter what kind of investment, there will inevitably be risks. If Feiyu joins, maybe it will become really popular based on his reputation in the circle.

"This time it's really not in vain."

The two parties reached a cooperation agreement, and Cao Yu smiled and said: "Since we two cooperate, let's have dinner together tonight?"

"Thank you, Mr. Cao. We have to go to Hengdian tonight. The investment in the Three Kingdoms drama is not enough yet."

"Okay then, let's meet up next time we return to Yanjing."

Cao Yu didn't force himself, thinking that after these people left, he also said goodbye.

But when the others present left, Wang Zhonglei immediately smiled and said: "Xiaolu, give Mr. Cao some more tea."

"Mr. Cao, I have always admired you. You are young, handsome, and so talented. The song you sang a few days ago was so beautiful."

Li Xiaolu poured tea for Cao Yu with a charming smile on his face, and couldn't help but rub his body against Cao Yu.

“Sure enough, nothing good happened”

If it had been another woman, Cao Yu might have made a fool of herself.

But Li Xiaolu, haha.
  He snickered in his heart, picked up the teacup and said, "Mr. Wang, I'm going to have my hair done in a while. I'm going to fly to Japan tomorrow morning and afternoon. Let's stay here tonight."

"Mr. Cao, you're already here, why are you leaving in such a hurry."

Wang Zhonglei finally invited Cao Yu, how could he let him go so easily? He used the most commonly used expression "Come here" among Chinese people, and then said: "Friend, this club is not open to the public on weekdays. Let's go upstairs to sing in a while." Come and have a drink, there happen to be a few young models who have just debuted here recently, they are quite beautiful."

"That's right, Mr. Cao, I have always admired you. I will toast you a few drinks later, and you can give me some guidance on how to sing."

Wang Zhonglei may still be concerned about face, but Li Xiaolu is a woman. This time he gently hugged Cao Yu's arm and rubbed it lightly with his chest.

And she didn't understand what Cao Yu meant by "doing hair."

Is having your hair done more important than drinking with a beautiful woman?
  There were few clothes to wear in summer. She thought she couldn't seduce young men like this?

"Xiaolu-san, you are very beautiful, but I have something to do tonight, next time, next time."

As he spoke, Cao Yu turned around to get his bag, got rid of the woman's entanglement, then stretched out his hand to shake Wang Zhonglei's hand, and was about to leave.

"Then I'll send it to Mr. Cao."

Li Xiaolu grabbed Cao Yu's arm again and winked at Wang Zhonglei.

"Then Mr. Cao, go slowly. We will meet again when you get back."

Wang Zhonglei understood and immediately asked Li Xiaolu to go out alone to see him off. Maybe there would be an unexpected harvest.

"Mr. Cao, I didn't expect that you are not only rich and talented, but also a good man."

When leaving the tea room and sending Cao Yu out, Li Xiaolu threw a tall hat at him again, and then said: "If you feel uneasy here, you can arrange a place and I will have a few drinks with you."

Cao Yu smiled and said, "You want to get your hair done too?"

"Are you really going to get your hair done?"

Li Xiaolu still didn't understand, and said with a sweet smile: "If you are willing, I can wash your hair for you."

"Ha ha."

Cao Yu laughed: "I don't know how it feels to let Yang Xiaoyun from "Struggle" wash my hair."

"Then Mr. Cao can have a good experience later."

"Ha ha."

If Cao Yu hadn't known about this woman's dark history, most people wouldn't have been able to handle someone like Li Xiaolu, who was fair-skinned, beautiful, mature and a little innocent.

When he arrived at the parking lot, without waiting for the bodyguards to come and take action, Li Xiaolu hurriedly opened the car door for Cao Yu. He felt that there was hope for him to complete the task assigned by his boss and climb up to this rich boss.

Unexpectedly, Cao Yu stood next to the car and said with a smile: "Thank you, beauty. You are very beautiful, but you are still a little short of what I want. A girl like you cannot challenge my weakness."

After saying that, under Li Xiaolu's surprised and puzzled eyes, he got into the car, closed the door with a bang, and drove away.

"Leave? Just leave like this? He's not interested in me at all?"

Li Xiaolu stood blankly on the spot, looking at the car driving away, and murmured: "What do you mean, Li's request is still a little less than what he wanted? What's his weakness? He said I'm not pretty enough? Is this guy so offensive?"

Then he thought of Boss Cao's girlfriend: "Am I not as innocent as Liu Yifei? Is there anyone who talks like this?"

In the private room, Wang Zhonglei was still drinking tea, while watching and admiring the two young girls making tea.

"I haven't been back for so long. Maybe Xiaolu has been taken away. Haha, it's an advantage for Cao Yu."

Thinking in his heart, after a while, he was still a little worried: "If Cao Yu gets caught up in the path, will he want to change jobs? Don't lose his wife and lose his troops."

Just as he was thinking about it, the box door was pushed open, and Li Xiaolu walked in with a frustrated look.

Wang Zhonglei asked curiously: "Hey, why are you back? Where is Mr. Cao?"

"Leave and say I can't challenge her weakness."

Li Xiaolu sat down angrily, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip: "Mr. Wang, I'm not good-looking, I'm not beautiful?"

"What? He said you were not good-looking? Did he abandon you?"

At this time, Wang Zhonglei was even more surprised: "Boss Cao's aesthetics has reached such a high level? The streets are not good-looking? Or is he not a good womanizer? Impossible."

After a moment, he said depressedly: "I want you to be more exposed today. Who is to blame if you cover it up so tightly?"

Li Xiaolu said aggrievedly: "Don't all of you men like to hold the pipa and half-cover your face? Only in that way can you be tempted."

"The important parts of your clothes are so well hidden, how can you expose them?"

Wang Zhonglei said angrily, and then shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, he doesn't want you to accompany him, please accompany me upstairs to have a few drinks."

…………

On the way back, bodyguard Pang Yuan sat in the front row and looked at his buddy who was leaning on the chair and humming a tune, and said with a smile: "This is a bit unexpected, that woman is not bad looking, I thought you would let her get in the car. ."

"Look down on me, it's not like I haven't seen women before."

Cao Yu chuckled, curled his lips disdainfully, and sang: "Don't pick the wild flowers on the roadside."

"If you don't pick it, you won't pick it."

"then you are"

"My favorite is Xiao Wu."

Pang Yuan smiled happily and said: "Boss, I have told my family about Xiao Wu and I. We plan to get married next year."

"Not bad. Congratulations. Your life will be complete soon."

After Cao Yu finished speaking, he immediately added: "Then I will transfer a position to Xiao Wu recently. I have to replace the secretary."

"understand."

Pang Yuan knew that this buddy of his would definitely not treat his girlfriend badly. Cao Yu didn't say much, but he was thinking in his heart: "Who should I replace as secretary? However, this time I must find someone with a high degree of education and good looks."

The next day, the crew took a charter flight and flew directly to Hokkaido in the Japanese country.

"It's quite cool in here."

After getting off the plane, Cao Yu felt a cool breeze blowing on his face, which was indeed very comfortable.

It was his first time to come to Japan. Although he didn't like this country, he had to admit that it did really well in some aspects.

But the son does not think the mother is ugly. After all, many places in China still need to grow.

The good life we ​​have now is only because of how many things we had stolen from us back then.

The filming mission went very smoothly. Guyu worshiped Buddha and met gangsters, went to church to forgive sins and almost drove the priest crazy, and went to drink with four sisters who combined were almost [-] years old at night. After filming these famous scenes, the crew went to an outdoor place on the mountain. spa.

After filming the two scenes during the day, the night scene was about Liang Xiaoxiao, played by Shu Qi, taking a hot spring bath.

"Are you really taking off your clothes? Do you want to find a substitute?"

Assistant director Ning Hao came to Cao Yu with the script and asked in a low voice.

"Miss Shu Qi, do you want a substitute?"

In fact, Cao Yu didn't prepare a substitute at all, and he said this knowingly.

During this time together, Shu Qi had a very good impression of this handsome and wealthy young director. She just pondered for a moment and said, "No need."

"Clearance!"

When Cao Yu heard this reply, he immediately shouted to the set: "Except for photography and lighting, everyone else should leave."

"Boss, that's not interesting enough."

When Ning Hao heard this, he complained a little depressedly in his heart, but he could only act according to the order.

After the others left, Cao Yu walked to Shu Qi and finally confirmed: "No problem?"

"Director, you're about to start shooting, and you still ask this? I've shot the front, but now it's just the back."

Shu Qi smiled inwardly and nodded: "No problem, I'm an actor."

"Ok."

Cao agreed, asked the few staff present to prepare, and then looked at the camera.

Shu Qi hesitated for a moment and took off her clothes. After a while, an almost perfect body was completely exposed to the air.

"Still so beautiful and white."

Cao Yu praised it and then shouted: "Start."

Under the camera, Shu Qi arranged her clothes and slowly walked towards the hot spring under the moonlight, letting the spring water submerge her body little by little.

Looking at the woman in the water, although Cao Yu was controlling his heart, he still couldn't help but feel a little impulsive when he thought of the movies and photos this woman had acted in.

This is just a man's natural reaction. In fact, Boss Cao didn't think anything of it.

The camera stayed on for a while and filmed a scene of Shu Qi slowly washing away the dust.

"Card! Passed! Call it a day!"

Cao Yu shouted and was about to leave first, letting Shu Qi get dressed.

Unexpectedly, this woman had no intention of coming out and said with a smile: "Director, the hot springs here are really good and very comfortable. I want to soak in them for a while longer."

"then you."

Cao Yu didn't think much about it and was about to leave with the staff when he heard Shu Qi continue: "In the Japanese country, it is a custom for men and women to bathe together. Anyway, there are no filming tasks today. Would the director want to try it?"

"convenient?"

Cao Yu was startled, not expecting that the other party would issue such an invitation.

"Director, there is indeed such a custom. Of course you can also take a dip. Let's go first."

Everyone was smart, so they cooperated and started to leave.

Although it’s just a hot spring bath, who doesn’t know what might happen if you keep soaking in it?
  It's June now, and the heat from the surrounding hot springs means that even though it's night on the mountain, it doesn't feel cold at all, and the atmosphere is still a little ambiguous.

“I’ve never been to a hot spring like this before. It’s mainly filled with beautiful women.”

Cao Yu thought to himself when he saw everyone around him leaving. His bodyguard was smoking at a far intersection, watching to prevent others from coming up.

Then he glanced at Shu Qi who was looking at him in the water, smiled inwardly, then took off his clothes, only wearing underwear, and walked into the hot spring.

"Miss Shu Qi, you look beautiful like this."

"Then the director thinks I'm more beautiful in the movie or now?"

Shu Qi was very generous. She gently picked up a handful of water and helped Cao Yu wash away the sweat on his body.

"Everything is beautiful."

"Thank you, director, you have a strong body too."

Shu Qi said as her fingers slowly slid over the muscles.

Cao Yu immediately got goosebumps when he was teased by this beauty-like woman.

"So you are greedy for my body?"

"You are a national husband now. There are many people who are greedy for your body. I also want to feel it."

Anyway, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to worry about speaking.

Besides, they are all adults and they are all in the entertainment industry. Everyone knows that it is just a matter of men and women.

"Fairy, if you have any means, just use it."

Cao Yu immediately transformed into Tang Monk, but his willpower was far behind.

Not long after, Cao Yu's underwear disappeared. In the quiet mountain, apart from the chirping of insects, there was also the sound of water.

"Director, today is just for fun, don't take it to heart."

After it was over, Shu Qi was still worried that the young director would have a psychological burden, and smiled softly.

"Yes, we just took a bath in the hot springs."

Little did he know that Boss Cao has been in the entertainment industry for much longer than Shu Qi. He knows that this kind of thing is too common in the industry. As long as everyone is happy, there is no need to take responsibility at all.

"Yes."

Shu Qi nodded: "But if Boss Cao has any movies, just don't forget me."

"Of course it's no problem, but I also want to take a few more hot spring baths with you."

"You've finished shooting here in Hokkaido, why don't you go back?"

“You’re all here, let’s play for a few days before leaving, and let others experience the charming streets of Japan.”

……

In early July, the film "If You Are the One" was finally completed on the Japanese yacht returning to China.

This time, the entire crew not only filmed, but also had a wonderful time. The treatment was many times better than that of other crews.

The next step is post-production. Cao Yu told Ning Hao his editing ideas and asked him to cut first and then review it himself.

"Boss Cao, if you have time to come to Taiwan, don't forget to call me."

When parting, Shu Qi was actually a little reluctant to leave. After all, she was enjoying it during this time.

"no problem."

Although it was just a casual romance, Boss Cao still felt very good about this mature woman, at least not pretending.

The crew disbanded and the others returned to China. Cao Yu sent an email to the company and asked them to start preparing for the movie "The Orphan".

He went directly to the United States to learn about the filming progress of "Inception" and at the same time prepare for the movie "Slumdog Millionaire".

This is a film that has won eight Oscars and two nominations. If he wants to continue to expand his influence, he must pay attention to it.

But he is Chinese after all. In order to successfully win an Oscar, Cao Yu decided to still co-produce this movie with the United States.

It was already evening when the plane arrived, and Cao Yu was preparing to go to the villa in Beverly Hills to rest when he received a call from Cai Chongxin from China.
