China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 426 424. I gave you a chance, but you failed (5-in-, K)

In Cao Yu's villa in Seoul, several members of T-ARA were also watching this episode of Music Bank on TV.

"They actually got one!"

Although T-ARA has achieved many No. 1 titles, seeing Girls' Generation achieve this same result, they are still a little stressed and worried about losing their status.

Who made the Korean music industry so rollish?

"This song was originally prepared for us."

Ham Eun Jung suddenly remembered Park So Yeon's words and murmured: "If OPPA hadn't bought Girls' Generation, would it be us on stage now?"

"Understand OPPA. With two popular girl groups, OPPA can make money and compete with SM. Besides, OPPA is so good to us."

Li Juli is the kindest and loves Cao Yu most.

Park So Yeon nodded and said, "Madam is right. I know Girls' Generation. Even if OPPA doesn't buy this group, it will be a matter of time before they return."

Xian Eunjing curled her lips and said: "You are indeed OPPA's women, you always talk to him."

Quan Baolan interjected: "You can do it too. When the president OPPA asked you to cut your hair short, maybe you like your style."

"well said."

"Baolan, you always tell the truth."

"Ha ha."

……

A few girls were making half-hearted jokes, and on the Music Bank stage, Kim Taeyeon continued to speak.

"Of course, the most grateful thing is our president. She composed this song for us. Thank you!"

With that said, the nine girls bowed deeply in the direction of Cao Yu in front of the entire audience.

"This song was actually written by the president of FNC. No wonder, he is a composer monster."

When everyone thinks of this Huaxia president, the first thing that comes to their mind is the song "Gangnam STYLE", and then everyone feels relieved that he can write a song that has been played more than 4 billion times globally, and that it would make Girls' Generation take the first place. easy?

Xian Eunjing listened to the words on the TV: "Listen, they thanked OPPA in public, I don't know how they will thank them in the future?"

Park Hyomin smiled and said, "How do you want them to thank you?"

"I just hope OPPA won't attack them."

This is what several girls are thinking about now.

……

Music Bank.

"Congratulations, you succeeded!"

Seeing Girls' Generation coming back, Cao Yu immediately extended his hand.

The girls hesitated for a moment and then high-fived Cao Yu. Half of the credit for one of them today belongs to the president.

They finally knew that this president was indeed very powerful.

After congratulating him, Cao Yu announced to the girl: "On New Year's Day, I will take you to China to attend a New Year's Eve party. You should behave well."

"Yes!"

At this time, the girls no longer felt sad about being forced to join FNC, and all that was left was their longing for the future.

After Music Bank, Girls' Generation became a blockbuster and its popularity rose rapidly. The black sea that girls will never forget is a thing of the past.

Many Korean media have discovered that after the rise of Girls' Generation, FNC has become an entertainment company that can compete with SM.

With the popular girl group T-ARA and the sudden rise of Girls' Generation, as well as the beautiful and sweet Lee Ji-eun, who in the Korean music industry dares to underestimate FNC, which has just been established for more than two years?

"President, I thought you were making a mistake when you bought Girls' Generation. It seems I was wrong."

The next day, Jin Guangzhu was full of praise for the president.

"These girls are very good. SM has a lot to learn from in training trainees. We must not be proud. You have to learn more from them."

As for the success of Girls' Generation, Cao Yu expected it: "Ask Li Haoyang to make a Japanese version of this song "GEE" as soon as possible, let them practice it when they have time, wait until the Spring Festival to record, and then explore the Japanese country market, and then arrange FNC’s East Asia tour.”

"clear."

Jinguangzhu naturally understands that playing songs and selling albums and music sources are only part of the income, and concerts are the most profitable.

Let’s see now what results Girls’ Generation’s song will achieve in the end.

Two days later, Girls' Generation took another No. 1 spot on Popular Songs.

A week later, Music Bank won two consecutive championships.

On December 24th, Girls’ Generation’s singing competition this year finally came to an end. Cao Yu flew to Pengcheng with T-ARA and SNSD to prepare for the Mango Channel New Year’s Eve Party.

"Is this a private jet?"

Although they often fly in Girls' Generation, this is their first time taking a private plane. All nine girls are curious to see and touch here.

"This is the second time we have sat..."

When T-ARA saw Girls' Generation being like this, they remembered that they were like this last year. They felt proud and felt a sense of belonging that made them feel a lot closer to Girls' Generation.

People like myself turned out to be the same.

"Boss Cao, welcome."

When we arrived at the hotel rented by Mango Station, Director Ouyang Changlin greeted us.

Looking at the dozen or so pretty girls, the head of the European balcony secretly envied Boss Cao, and asked knowingly: "Is this the recent popular girl's generation in South Korea?"

"That's right, if it weren't for the strong invitation from Director Ou Balcony, I wouldn't even want to bring them here. They will have a singing competition on January 2nd."

For Cao Yu, no matter what invitation he made, it was just polite words. The main reason was that the appearance fee given by Mango TV was too much.

As long as the two girl groups perform two songs each, they can get 50 million in appearance fees. This money can almost make back the money spent on Girls' Generation.

If Jin Yingmin knew about it, he would be ready to cry.

After settling a group of girls, Cao Yu said to Ouyang Changlin: "Mr. Ouyang Yang, has the program for this year's party been finalized?"

"It's settled."

Ouyang Changlin said and asked his assistant to hand over a program list for the party.

"Zhang Jie, Zhang Liangying, Yu Kewei, Xu Shangao, Fenghuang Legend, Zhou Bichang, Tan Weiwei"

Cao Yu scanned the program list and found that almost all of the company's popular singers had been invited. Only Huang Ling was invited to attend Tomato Channel's first New Year's Eve party because she was from Shanghai.

After reading this lineup, he realized that for this year's New Year's Eve party, only these singers could bring tens of millions of revenue to the company.

Suddenly, Cao Yu found a person's name in the program list.

Chen Chusheng!

He couldn't help but frown. It seemed that this person was going to let go of Mango Terrace this year, and then cause the famous black twenty-three minutes.

"Should I remind him?"

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Yu immediately put this idea aside.

First, it hasn’t happened yet. If you say it now, it might just slander others.

Second, this is a good opportunity for Mango Channel and Feiyu Entertainment to deeply integrate, and maybe some unexpected gains can be achieved.

Cao Yu handed back the program list: "These programs are all good. The ratings this year will definitely be better than last year."

Ouyang Changlin smiled and said: "It would definitely be better if there was no tomato station."

“We have the foundation from last year and it’s fine.”

Cao Yu knows very well that in a few years, the competition at the New Year's Eve party will be fierce, and it has just begun now.

"By the way, I heard that you are going to film a youth idol drama called "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower"?"

"Boss Cao is very well-informed."

Director Ouyang Yang laughed: "Preparations have begun for this drama, and several good actors have been selected."

"Can the heroine arrange for one of our Feiyu people? As for the male, can we arrange one too?"

Cao Yu has no interest in investing in this kind of youth idol drama. It is estimated that Mango Channel and Tianyu are not short of money.

However, I still have the idea of ​​​​praising the company's artists through the popular TV series.

As for Shuangzi who should be taxed or not, I can only feel sorry.

"Well, actually the heroine has been decided, and there are four male protagonists, so we can arrange it."

Ouyang Changlin was immediately in a dilemma. In the casting competition some time ago, a pretty good girl had been selected to play the heroine of this drama.

"Based on our relationship, can't we be accommodating?"

Cao Yu looked at Ouyang Changlin with a half-smile, making the other party even more embarrassed.

The relationship between the two families is good, so it is certainly not appropriate to refuse directly.

Although Mango Channel has an extraordinary status in the entertainment industry, Boss Cao now has people in the industry who have money and resources, and his status cannot be underestimated.

He didn't want to have the same conflict again. In that case, the loss would be too great.

After thinking about it, Ouyang Changlin smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem between us. Just send the information over when you have time."

"I'll have it sent to you as soon as possible."

Cao Yu nodded and said, "I would like to thank you for your help in this year's Golden Eagle Award."

In this year's Golden Eagle Awards, Zhao Liying directly won the Audience's Favorite Actress Award for "A Thousand Bones of Flowers".

In addition, "Latent", which has already won the Magnolia Gold Award for Best TV Series, and "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" also won the Golden Eagle Outstanding TV Series Award, and even "Balala Little Demon Fairy" also won the Outstanding Children's TV Series Award.

Feiyu Entertainment can be said to be the biggest winner of this Golden Eagle Award.

"Yes, Du Feiyu's works are good." Ouyang Changlin said modestly, and then said: "Boss Cao, how about you be one of the judges of the Golden Eagle Award in the future?"

"Forget it, I don't have time for all this. Just think of me, Feiyu, when you present the award."

The current Golden Eagle is not yet a Water Eagle, but Cao Yu has no time for such things as judges.

"That's right. Boss Cao is really busy right now. He's from Korea and the United States. I heard some time ago that you were causing trouble in India. It's really a bit embarrassing for you to be a judge."

Although he was rejected, Ouyang Changlin could understand that Boss Cao was indeed too busy now.

In the evening, Cao Yu returned to the hotel and immediately called the company: "What is the current box office of "Mei Lanfang"?"

"Currently 1.3 million."

"That's all?"

Cao Yu was a little surprised when he heard this number.

Nowadays, theater chains across the country are developing very fast, much faster than in the original world. Logically speaking, the box office of the movies directed by Chen Kaige shouldn't be so bad, right?

He turned on his computer and found that although there were praises on Douban, most of them were scolds.

The first half of the movie is indeed above the standard, but the second half makes people sleepy, and the length of the movie is so boring that it makes people crazy.

Others said they left early after watching half of the show because they couldn't stand it anymore.

Some people even criticized, is this the work that Director Chen Da has been honing for three years? Totally disappointed.

Wang Xueqi's performance was the best in the first half.

Looking at these comments, Cao Yu shook his head helplessly: "I gave you a chance, I didn't expect you to be so useless."

I wanted to give China Film Group some face and not compete with him, but Director Chen turned out to be so incompetent. With such results, Han Sanping will probably be completely disappointed.

With an investment of 1.3 million and a box office of 1.5 million, what will happen if it exceeds million in ten days? I will still lose money to my grandma’s family.

"If my "If You Are the One" had been released earlier, I guess it would have been a problem for the movie to break over 100 million yuan."

With a chuckle, he called Yang Shuxue again: "Send them to me as soon as the box office results of "Inception" and "Tangshan Earthquake" are released."

"I know." Yang Shuxue agreed and asked, "When will you return to Yanjing?"

"I can't go back for the time being. I have to go to South Korea in a few days, then fly to the United States, and when I come back I have to attend the launch of Huawei's new mobile phone."

"You're so busy."

"no way"

Cao Yu was indeed a little helpless about his schedule.

There are several movies in Hollywood that are being shot, so I must go and see them. In order to win an Oscar this time, I took Yang Mi to reshoot the scenes of "Iron Fist".

Fortunately, Cai Chongxin is on the business side, so he can devote all his energy to entertainment.

After chatting with Yang Shuxue for a while, I called Liu Yifei and asked about the release status of "Night Club" before lying on the bed.

"It's almost 09, another year is about to pass, seven years have passed."

Cao Yu recalled the past seven years. He originally wanted to make a trip, but now he is getting busier and busier.

Although during this period, my life was very nourishing.

The next day, Cao Yu finished the arrangement of the song "Lonely Warrior" and saved it on a USB flash drive. If Chen Chusheng really disappeared, it would be too late for the company's singer to come to the rescue, or to do it himself.

It’s time to see the sincerity of Mango Channel.

After doing this, Cao Yu rushed to Huawei to check the preparations for the P3 mobile phone launch conference.

At the same time, Feng Xiaogang's movie "Tangshan Earthquake" was officially released on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Although the reputation and box office of "The Night Banquet" were very poor before, everyone at Huayi believes that Feng Xiaogang's appeal is still there. The same disaster happened in Sichuan and Chongqing this year, so the box office performance should not be too bad.

The result was just as they thought. On the first day of release, the box office reached more than 30 million yuan.

However, word of mouth has been severely polarized.

Some viewers said that this is a rare family film and worth watching.

But most viewers feel that this movie is just a family drama with many obvious crying points, but they just can't squeeze out a single tear.

In particular, there were rumors on the Internet that this movie actually had 100 million ads embedded in it, which made the audience's curses even more overwhelming.

"Mediocre low-cost production, mediocre plot, insisting on making money by pretending to be a big production, it's deplorable."

"Emotional traffickers use tears to defraud money."

Criticisms like this are almost everywhere on Weibo and Douban.

In particular, some viewers revealed that Feng Xiaogang had used a painting to defraud money at the charity gala in May this year, which pushed him to the forefront.

"Boss Cao from Feiyu also placed ads, but he donated hundreds of millions! Director Feng, how much did you donate?"

""It's shameless for you to place advertisements in this kind of disaster movie, and it's also disrespectful to the compatriots who were affected by the disaster."

"When I said I would boycott Director Feng's film, I regretted not taking care of my wallet. I was wrong. Can I get my money back?"

"Except for Chen Dao's famous performance, which is pretty good, the others are completely unwatchable."

"I'm just waiting for Feiyu's "If You Are the One"."

More negative comments continued to ferment on the Internet, and even appeared on Weibo's hot search list.

In comparison, although the Hollywood movie written by Cao Yu had an average box office of just over 20 million on the first day, it surpassed "Tangshan Earthquake" on the second day and received rave reviews.

"Director Feng, I originally wanted you to use this film to raise Huayi's status so that it can have a good stock price when it goes public. Unfortunately, you can't help."

Cao Yu, who came back from Huawei, looked at these comments and shook his head with a wry smile.

I still own 3% of Huayi shares, and I plan to cash out once Huayi goes public.

Who would have thought that our director Feng himself would be so crazy about implanting it in the movie, but it’s a pity that the movie wasn’t made well, and such a good subject was wasted.

On December 29, the box office of "Inception" continued to rise, reaching more than 40 million in one day, and the global box office also reached 100 million US dollars.

"Make money, make money."

According to this trend, this film should make more than 100 million US dollars by then, which should not be a big problem.

“Now it’s up to next year’s Oscars.”

Putting aside the movie, Cao Yu set his sights on the New Year's Eve party.

December 31st at 8pm, Pengcheng World Window.

Brilliant fireworks bloomed at the party venue, which can accommodate more than 40,000 spectators.

In the box, Ouyang Changlin and several leaders accompanied Cao Yu and others to watch the party.

Mango Channel has made full preparations for this New Year's Eve party, and the four main hosts are He Ji, Wang Han, Cao Ying, and Xie Na.

In addition, this party also adopted the PK mode between two teams for the first time, allowing fans to send text messages to support their favorite team.

"It seems that in terms of making money, we still have to look at Mango Channel."

Cao Yu could only smile in his heart at this kind of money-making innovation.

Looking at the performance on stage, he smiled and asked: "European balcony director, how are the ratings now?"

"It's okay. Although Tomato Channel is also holding a New Year's Eve party, fortunately it really doesn't have a big impact on the ratings. This is all thanks to General Cao who gave me such a good idea first."

Ouyang Changlin is quite grateful for this.

At nine o'clock, T-ARA took the stage first and ignited the atmosphere with "TTL".

At ten o'clock, under the introduction of the host Cao Ying, nine girls in sportswear took to the stage and sang their debut song "The World Reunion Again".

The girl's passionate dance directly ignited the atmosphere of the scene.

They used energetic and energetic performances to show the truest appearance of girls.

After singing this song, it was "GEE", which has become popular recently. As soon as this song came out, it directly brought the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.

"No wonder Mango Channel allowed a dancer from Girls' Generation to appear. In terms of stimulating the atmosphere of the scene, Girls' Generation's dance is more dynamic."

Cao Yu watched the performance and thought to himself: "In terms of dancing, SM is more solid, but T-ARA's style is mature and feminine. These two girl groups have their own characteristics, but I prefer the mature ones." .”

"Mr. Cao, this girl group is really good."

Cao Yu's thoughts were interrupted by Ouyang Changlin: "I heard that you only spent more than 60 million to buy this combination. It was a great deal."

"In business, it's all about judgment."

Cao Yu smiled without any humility and suddenly said: "Director Ouyang Yang, your live sound effects are really great. I suddenly have an idea, why don't we do a singing variety show together next year."

"Mr. Cao, please tell me in detail."

Hearing that there was another variety show, Ouyang Changlin immediately became interested.

"I just suddenly had some inspiration. I need to go back and plan it carefully. I will contact you after New Year's Day."

"Mr. Cao, when the idea comes out, you must show it to us first. We have an old relationship."

"no problem."

Cao Yu nodded. The variety show "I Am a Singer" is most suitable for Mango Channel, which is good at hype.

Mainly, we must not let the strongest king of the local station hook up with Ahri.

The party continued, and Cao Yu scanned the program list again.

Chen Chusheng is the main singer Tianyu has trained this year. His appearance is scheduled before the New Year's Eve countdown.

At half past eleven, Ouyang Changlin and Cao Yu were drinking tea and chatting in the private room, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Suddenly, the director of the party hurried in and said anxiously: "Director, Chen Chusheng can't be found, and the phone is turned off. What should I do?"

The singer disappeared. This unexpected situation made everyone present except Cao Yu stand up.
