China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 407 405. If you want to invest, invest in the most profitable one

Cao Yu was surprised to receive a call from Cai Chongxin.

Since the Taobao domain name transaction many years ago, although the two have met several times and have each other's numbers, they have never called once.

"Hello, Mr. Cai."

Cao Yu pressed the answer button and said hello politely.

"Mr. Cao, I'm sorry to bother you. Are you free recently? I want to chat with you."

Cai Chongxin did not directly say that she wanted to work for Boss Cao, but first inquired about the plans of the man who would soon become his boss.

"I'm in the United States. I just got off the plane. Let's sit together when I get back."

When Cao Yu heard that the other party wanted to chat, a possibility came to his mind, but he was not sure.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the call."

Although Cai Chongxin has completely left Ali, he is not very anxious about the new company.

Cao Yu hung up the phone and thought: "From the tone of his voice, is he interested in our company and wants to change jobs?"

Thinking in my mind, I took out my phone, found Ahri's Weibo, took a look, and sure enough I saw the news of Cai Chongxin's resignation.

"This is a talent, we must win it!"

Thinking of this, Cao Yu wanted to fly back to China first, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was too anxious and couldn't hold his breath.

After a night's rest and some jet lag, Cao Yu came to Universal Pictures early the next morning.

"Iron Man" has been released worldwide, with a global box office of US$7.4 million. Such results are considered above average in Hollywood.

Coupled with Cao Yu's reputation in the Chinese film industry, when he came here, the boss of Universal immediately welcomed him out happily.

"CAO, I guess you'll be here soon."

"I guess you'd say the same."

"Ha ha."

The two joked, and Bob, the boss of Universal Pictures, said: "The filming of "Inception" has been completed. Post-production will take half a year and it will be released on Christmas."

"For the post-production special effects, you can find me in the digital field. If you want to find someone else, I'll leave now."

Of course, Cao Yu knew that the movie had just been completed. Another reason for his coming this time was to get a project for his special effects company.

"I am very sure of that."

Bob immediately said that this kind of thing would not be done to others.

"Thank you then."

As Cao Yu spoke, he asked his secretary to take out two scripts from his bag and said with a smile, "How about taking a look at these two scripts?"

"Despicable Me? Slumdog Millionaire?"

Seeing Hua Xia Cao come up with two scripts at once, Bob smiled brightly: "You drink coffee first, and I'll read the scripts."

The script of "Despicable Me" not only has a storyline, but also a set of cute characters. This was specially designed by Cao Yu in China by the company's artists. It is almost the same as the original world movie.

After reading the script, I immediately patted my thigh and said, "Okay, this script is good, we can arrange it right away!"

Universal Pictures has acquired DreamWorks, and this 3D cartoon is not difficult for them.

"Don't worry, let's look at the next one."

Cao Yu drank coffee leisurely, and was already used to other people's reactions.

"The second one is better?"

Bob was hesitant. Although the first script was a children's film, the story was very creative, heart-warming, and lively and interesting.

Is the second one even better?

With this mood in mind, he read the script carefully. When he saw more than ten pages, he was amazed.

"The story in this script is full of suspense and thrilling. It not only has the quality of a fairy tale, but also has the grand scheme of an epic film. The plot is also full of affection! Goode, Wary Goode!"

Bob held the script tightly and raised his head: "CAO, I really admire you. You and I are the most powerful Chinese screenwriters I have ever seen! As long as this film is well made, it will definitely win an award!"

"I plan to find a British director for this film, because India was once a British colony, so it should be better to film, and the actors should be local Indian actors."

"No problem, it's no problem. It's all according to your request."

Regarding Cao Yu's request, Bob agreed: "When the project is confirmed, we will go to India to select actors."

"it is good."

Cao Yu has always wanted to see the legendary Ganges River, so he might as well go and see it.

Bob smiled happily and said: "Then I will start working on these two films in the next two days."

With these two films, Universal Pictures may become one of the top three in Hollywood. “CAO, you are truly my noble man.”

Bob couldn't hide his excitement. He stood up and pulled Cao Yu up: "My friend, in order to welcome you, I will hold a cocktail party now. From now on, our two families will be the closest partners."

For Westerners, as long as they have interests, they are friends and their closest comrades, and age does not matter.

Although Universal Pictures is not currently a top company in Hollywood, its reputation is not small.

As the boss, Bob's appeal is certainly not small. The welcome reception for Cao Yu in the evening was quite grand, with not only popular Hollywood stars, but also some business celebrities.

"CAO, let me introduce you, this is Leonardo"

Bob held the wine glass and took Cao Yu with him. As he walked, he introduced the guests present.

"Hello, Mr. Leonardo."

As the saying goes, "When you move in, you nourish your body." If in the previous life, Cao Yu had seen this "Jack" in the global box office champion "Titanic", Cao Yu would have been so excited that he would have screamed, but now he is just elegant and small. Plum touched it.

"Mr. Cao, it turns out that you look so young. I really didn't expect that the script of "Inception" was written by you."

"Haha, you were not very old when you acted in "Titanic"."

"Mr. Cao is so funny."

The two chatted for a while. Because Cao Yu saw Xiao Lizi and recalled the plot of "The Revenant" in his mind, he was led by Bob towards a tall girl.

"This is Miss Gal Gadot."

"Oh, hello Miss Gadot, you are so beautiful."

Cao Yu has little interest in Western girls. Although Western women have very hot bodies, he feels that their skin is not good and does not have the silky jade-like feeling of Easterners, and it does not feel moisturized at all.

But the girl in front of him had good skin and an oriental aesthetic face, so he still acted like a gentleman and gently took her hand and kissed her gently.

"Thank you Mr. Cao, you are handsome too."

The two of them just exchanged polite words. After they separated, Bob smiled and said: "This girl is nice, but it's a pity that she is already engaged. Otherwise, I would be willing to help you match her."

"No interest, it's just that she reminds me of your Fast and Furious movie series."

Cao Yu did not talk about women, but turned the topic to movies starring Gal Gadot: "If I want to invest in this series of movies, my friend, I wonder if you are willing?"

The "Fast and Furious" series is Universal Pictures' most profitable movie.

Although the performance of the third part was average compared to the first two, Cao Yu knew very well that the fifth to eighth parts would be huge hits, and he would not want to miss such a money-making opportunity.

If you want to invest, invest in the most profitable one.

I forgot about this when I was dealing with Universal Pictures, but I realized it when I saw Gal Gadot today.

Hearing what Cao Yu said, Bob frowned.

The first two films in this series had a small investment, but made a lot of money.

He would rather find a way to let that Gadot spend one night with Boss Cao than share this piece of fat with others.

Cao Yu saw the troubled expression on the old man's face, but smiled and said: "If it's too difficult, forget it, I just said it casually."

After saying that, he glanced at his watch and said with a smile: "Thank you for the drinking party tonight. I can't drink anymore. I have to go to Marvel and the [-]st Century tomorrow."

"and many more!"

When Bob heard that the other party was going to Marvel, he suddenly became anxious.

He knew very well that Cao Yu and Marvel had just collaborated on an "Iron Man". If such a talented screenwriter was introduced to others because of this matter, it would be more harm than good.

Cao Yu turned around and said with a smile: "My friend, what else do you want?"

"Of course you can invest in "Fast and Furious". We are good friends, right?"

This foreign devil can change his face faster than a child.

"of course."

Cao Yu achieved his goal and said with a smile: "Actually, as a screenwriter, in addition to investing, I can also participate in the script creation of the Fast and Furious series, are you right?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Bob suddenly felt that Boss Cao was doing it for his own good and for the good of this series.

I was confused and almost made a decision-making mistake.

In order to further win over this young man, he approached Cao Yu and said with a smile: "I just saw that you are interested in Miss Gadot. How about I help you talk to her. Maybe you can spend a good night together tonight, hehe."

Anyway, Westerners are open and ONE NIGHT LOVE is normal.

"Forget it, everyone is engaged."

Cao Yu turned his head and glanced at Gadot's long legs. Although he felt it was a pity, he still shook his head.
