China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 416 414. Disappearing into the dust and smoke
  Cao Yu didn't know what happened in the practice room. He was saying goodbye to the T-ARA girls and preparing to return to China.

In China, it is also September. Liu Yifei, who has not published a work for a long time, finally started to open her business.

But this time it's not filming, but her first album going on sale.

Cao Yu got off the plane, sat in the car and turned on the radio.

"This week's Chinese Music Chart, ranked ninth is the song "I Miss You Not Because I'm Lonely" from Liu Yifei's new album."

After the host introduced, Liu Yifei's sweet voice came out on the radio.

"Meet in the sea of ​​​​people, gather and disperse outside the reunion, and wait for the moonlight to shine on the window sill when you wake up. It's not because I'm lonely that I miss you, it's just because I miss you that I'm lonely. When the tears fall, all the scenery is silent."

Listening to the familiar singing voice, Cao Yu seemed to regain the memories of his youth.

"This week's Chinese music pop list, ranked eighth, is still "Heart Wall" sung by Liu Yifei..."

"Although this is Liu Yifei's first album, she relied on her previous high popularity accumulated in "Tianlong" and "Shendiao". Once this album was released, it achieved sales of [-], and weekly sales were as high as [-] Zhang, this achievement is quite good now that physical albums are declining, and several songs included in the album have all been frequent guests on various recent music charts."

Cao Yu listened to the introduction of the album on the radio and was a little surprised that Liu Yifei's album sold so well?
  During the broadcast, the list continued, ranking seventh to third, all were Liu Yifei, until second place was "If This Is Love" by Zhang Liangying.

After Zhang Liangying's song was played, it was time to reveal the first place winner.

"Zhang Liangying is second, who is first?"

Cao Yu was a little curious and turned up the volume of the radio.

"The song that topped the list dominated the list for two full months in June and July. Although the ranking dropped in the middle, this week coincides with the National Day eve, and the song returned to the top of the list again. It is "Young China" sung by Cao Yu, a famous Chinese musician, famous screenwriter, famous entrepreneur and philanthropist."

"I rely on!"

Cao Yu was startled and looked surprised.

It has been more than four months since I sang this song, and it is still so popular?

After thinking about it, it is normal for this song to become popular again before the National Day.

"However, this girl Sissi is also very lucky. Other king singers have not released new albums in the past few months, otherwise they would not be so popular."

Cao Yu thought to himself and said to the driver: "Go to the set of "Night Club"."

"Who took my diamond?"

On the set, the crew was filming. When Cao Yu came here, he saw fellow actor Zhang Jiayi holding a pistol and tying everyone else up in a freezer.

When everyone saw Boss Cao visiting the class, they all smiled and nodded in greeting.

"You are finally back!"

When producer Liu Yifei saw her boyfriend, she immediately jumped over and took Cao Yu's arm, not caring that there were other people here.

Yang Ying, who played the female shop assistant, saw this scene and although she was a little jealous, she didn't dare to show it.

Cao Yu looked at Liu Yifei and smiled: "How was the shooting?"

"It should be finalized in a few days."

Liu Yifei's face was full of smiles. This was her first movie as a boss. She had been watching the set almost every day for more than a month.

"correct."

Cao Yu suddenly remembered something, walked over to Zhang Jiayi and said with a smile: "Fellow, don't speak Mandarin, it's better to speak your hometown dialect."

"Can?"

Zhang Jiayi was startled and looked at director Xu Zheng.

"Try it."

As a result, Zhang Jiayi changed his lines into Shaanxi dialect, and the comedy effect was immediately much better.

Liu Yifei took one look at the footage and immediately said happily: "You are still awesome."

"Haha. Is this awesome?"

Cao Yu smiled and asked, "How is Yang Ying's performance?"

"Let's go over there and talk."

Liu Yifei heard this question, pulled Cao Yu aside, and then said: "When we first started filming, she would stare when she was angry, and when she was scared, she would stare like this for several days, and no one else has acted like this." Well, director Xu Zheng guided her many times and she got better, but the filming progress was delayed for a week, otherwise the film would have been completed long ago, which would have increased the budget by hundreds of thousands."

"Hey"

Cao Yu glanced at Yang Ying from a distance and felt that her performance in variety shows was okay. Why did she only stare when she was acting?

Want to make her eyes look bigger?
  However, it is indeed quite big.

"As long as there is progress."    But Yang Ying has something to do with him no matter what, as long as his acting skills improve.

After saying that, Cao Yu covered the little girl's face and said with a smile: "Congratulations, the album is a hit."

"It's all your songs that are good."

Speaking of the album, Liu Yifei's face immediately showed an excited expression: "Actually, this is all thanks to everyone's help in promoting me. When my album was released, all the actors in the company helped me forward my promotional video on Weibo. Jingdong and Penguin also gave me an advertisement, which is why the album sold so well."

"No wonder."

Cao Yu smiled: "The boss lady really has face."

"I'm not a boss lady."

The little girl blushed, but she felt extremely beautiful.

Cao Yu came back on a tight schedule this time. He stayed with the little girl for a day, and then came to Zhang Yimou's home.

"Director Zhang, congratulations!"

The opening ceremony of this Olympic Games was quite successful. More than one billion viewers around the world watched this event. Not to mention the super high ratings of TV stations, the number of viewers on Feigo Video alone exceeded [-] million.

"Thank you for your creativity."

Zhang Yimou patted Cao Yu on the shoulder: "Your face is glowing red. You've had a good time in Han Bang, haven't you?"

“Really moisturizing.”

Cao Yu was secretly amused in his heart, but he said with a smile: "Moisturize your farts, add kimchi to your seafood, and add kimchi to your noodles. Now my words taste like kimchi."

"Ha ha."

The two joked a bit, and Zhang Yimou got down to business: "The Olympics are over, and it's time for me to return to my old profession. Do you have any scripts? Come up with it."

"Of course there is a script"

Cao Yu did not immediately take out the script he had just written for Zhang Yimou, but smiled and said: "But I heard that Director Zhang bought the adaptation rights of the novel "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling". You don't plan to film that?"

"You know this as well?"

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "Next year is the [-]th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. I won't rush this film now. I'll wait two years before shooting it. I plan to shoot other things first."

"How about Director Zhang take a look at this script?"

Cao Yu said, took out a script and handed it over.

According to the schedule, Zhang Yimou should make "Three Guns" after the Olympics. However, Cao Yu thought it would be better not to make that film, otherwise it would be a stain on Director Zhang's life.

""Into the Dust"?"

Zhang Yimou took over the script and thought it was interesting when he saw the name.

When he finished watching the plot, as a director from the northwest, he felt some sympathy and stood up: "I made this film!"

"I knew you'd like it."

Zhang Yimou's reaction was already as expected by Cao Yu: "This film may even win an award, so I'll leave it to you. As long as it's well shot, you don't have to save money for me to invest in it."

"Now Xiao Cao. No, Boss Cao is indeed very wealthy."

"You and I are both from the Northwest. I just want to film this script well."

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

As a director, what he likes most is a good script. Zhang Yimou is now full of confidence.

Unexpectedly, Cao Yu smiled again and said, "By the way, after this film is finished, I will give you another script."

"And a script? What type?"

Although Zhang Yimou knows that Boss Cao is powerful, the script is like a magic trick, which is too powerful.

"This script is not original. It is a fresh love drama adapted from a novel."

Cao Yu said, and as expected, like a magic trick, he asked his secretary to take out another thick script from his bag and put it in front of Zhang Yimou: "It's just that the heroine I'm optimistic about is still filming other films, so I plan to film "The Hidden One" first. "Into the Dust and Smoke".

""The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", I have read this novel, why didn't I think of adapting it into a movie?"

Zhang Yimou took the script and simply flipped it over this time, then smiled and said: "Working with Xiao Cao is simply a pleasure! In this way, after we finish filming "Into the Dust", we will film "The Hawthorn Tree" "Love" and finally "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins"."

He looked at the two scripts in his hand and immediately made plans for the next three years.
