China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 429 427. Mr. Ma, are you still screaming?

After Girls' Generation wins another first place on Music Bank on January 2nd, on January 3rd, Cao Yu will take Yang Mi to the United States.

"Brother, after the New Year's Eve party, you have become many people's idol. My mother said that you sing well and she always likes you."

In the bedroom of the plane, the increasingly sexy and mature Yang Mi lay on top of her godbrother, her face full of adoration and admiration.

Cao Yu smiled and said, "Really? Why didn't I know?"

"You are busy every day and don't have time to follow Weibo. Now you have more fans online than me. Everyone calls you a celebrity entrepreneur."

"Celebrity entrepreneur?"

When Cao Yu heard the title, he shook his head and smiled: "There is no way. In the Internet age, it is impossible to keep a low profile."

"I don't know how difficult it is for others to be like you, but you still want to keep a low profile? Impossible!"

"No way, just leave it like this."

Cao Yu also expected such a result.

However, he still decided to pay more attention to his words and deeds. He could be famous, but he must not be domineering. That would definitely be bad.

"By the way, brother, after the New Year, what new films do you have? I haven't made any announcements recently."

"There is a modern drama called "Northern Ireland", and you will still be the heroine."

"Why is it a TV series again? I want to make a movie!"

Yang Mi was naturally jealous when she saw that Yang Ying had acted in a movie.

"Isn't this better? After I finish filming this TV series, I'll see if there are any suitable movies for you."

Cao Yu is too busy during this period and has not yet made plans for 09.

"Aside from "Into the Dust" directed by Zhang Yimou, what else should we film? "The Lost Road"?"

While Cao Yu was playing with Yang Mi's sexy figure, he was mentally planning his plans for the new year.

Through "Night Club", Feiyu and Xu Zheng now have a good relationship, but brother Baoqiang is still a contracted actor with Huayi, and his contract should be for two years.

"Let's shoot first, it's a small cost anyway."

After making up his mind, Cao Yu said with a smile: "There is a movie, but it's just a man's movie. You probably won't be interested. I'll make a big movie for you in a few years, okay?"

"How many more years will it take?"

"You should improve your acting skills first. Movies and TV series are still different."

Cao Yu also has Guo Xiaosi in his hands. He has been too lazy to care about him in the past two years. This kid has actually written several popular novels, and the "Little Times" series is one of them.

"Okay, brother, you must not let me go. I have been with you since I was eighteen!"

"No, no, honey is the sweetest."

After arriving in the United States, Yang Mi went to the crew to film, while Cao Yu stayed in Beverly Hills, making plans for 09 and writing scripts.

Not only did he write "People on the Road" and "囧囧", he also planned to take this opportunity to write the "Tang Detective" series.

In addition, he also checked out the situation of "Despicable Me" and "Avatar". These two movies are the main source of his income today.

Just when Cao Yu was busy in the United States.

In China, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala sponsorship bidding site was full of gunpowder.

Ahli bought Tudou Video, and although it has uploaded a large number of performances by Korean idols and has been featured in some Huayi movies and TV series, its influence is still higher than that of Feiwan Video.

Therefore, Ma Yun plans to use the platform of this year's Spring Festival Gala to increase the influence of Tudou Video. At least in the Chinese market, it cannot be too far behind Fei Ge.

Before the bidding meeting started, Ma Yun was holding back her energy and occasionally glanced at Cai Chongxin not far away.

This person who was once his right-hand man has now become his opponent. This feeling makes him very uncomfortable.

Although he and Cai Chongxin shook hands symbolically when entering the venue, the familiar feeling was no longer there and they had become strangers to each other.

Not far away, Cai Chongxin just watched the initial bidding for the program and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.

He came today with instructions from his boss for only two purposes, namely to be included in the sketch "Not Short of Money" and to be the overall sponsor of the Spring Festival Gala.

Of course, Ma Yun also watched the introduction to this year's Spring Festival Gala program and knew Uncle Benshan's appeal. He also wanted to win this skit.

As the bidding entered the later stages, Zhu Jun, who presided over the bidding, finally announced: "The next step is the placement of the sketch "Not Bad Money", with a starting price of one million."

But after Zhu Jun made the announcement, no one at the scene raised a sign.

Everyone knows the gold content of Uncle Benshan’s sketch. Many Internet companies are targeting this sketch. Now it is called, it can only be cannon fodder.

Seeing that no one was bidding at the scene, Zhu Jun was a little embarrassed, so he had to say again: "The starting price for the sketch "Not Short of Money" is one million, and it will be mentioned in two lines in the show."

After he finished speaking this time, the scene was silent for a while. The new wolf finally couldn't help it and shouted: "Two million!"

"three million!"

Someone asked, and Sohu also asked for a price. This implant could not be missed by the new wolf.

"Three and a half million!"

LeTV also wants to get involved.

"Three.8 million!"

Sohu actually wanted to get this implant, after all, the effect of Penguin Weibo two years ago was obvious to all.

"Let them call for a while first."

Cai Chongxin and Ma Yun both sat firmly. They knew that the price of this sketch was much more than that.

Soon, the price reached 4.6 million.

After all, it was just two lines, and the price of implantation was already the highest tonight.

Zhu Jun scanned the audience and said, "Souhu became a monk for 4.6 million, is there any more?"

"five million!"

Ma Yun glanced at Cai Chongxin, who was still silent, and couldn't help but quoted the price.

"Ahri offers five million!"

"Five million three hundred thousand!"

Sohu plans to give it a final try.

"Five. million!"

Ma Yun increased the amount by 500,000 this time, wanting to directly use it to repel the opponent.

Sure enough, as soon as this price was announced, the whole audience was in an uproar.

It was just two lines. Although it came from Uncle Benshan's mouth, the price was too high.

This is already a record price for advertising placement in previous Spring Festival Gala programs.

"Five.8 million! Is there anything more to add?"

As a host, Zhu Jun's ability to mobilize the atmosphere is outstanding.

No one in the audience spoke again. It seemed that Sohu and other Internet users had been scared off, or were planning to fight for the final highlight.

"Ahri's 5.8 million, the first time."

Under Zhu Jun's voice, Ma Yun silently hoped that Cai Chongxin would never speak for the sake of having worked together before.

"Five.8 million for the second time."

"Six million and eight hundred thousand!" As soon as Zhu Jun's voice fell, Cai Chongxin finally raised the sign.

"buzz"

This price will shock everyone.

Six million and eight hundred thousand, suddenly increased by one million, one line, it is more than three million!

Ma Yun glanced at Cai Chongxin again, and seemed to say: "You still took action, Lao Cai, it seems that you are really going against me!"

Cai Chongxin also glanced back, the meaning in his eyes was: "Mr. Ma, I'm sorry, everyone is their own master!"

When reporters at the scene saw this scene, they all pointed their cameras at the two men.

Last year, the two were in the same company, but now they have become rivals. This is big news and can be hyped up.

Seeing Cai Chongxin's eyes, Ma Yun was very reluctant, but his planned budget was five million.

The 5.8 million yuan just now was already 800,000 yuan more than the budget. If we add more, is it worth it or not?

Should we place all our bets on the final title, or should we compete with Cai Chongxin?

"Maybe, Fei Ge's budget is about five or six million. If I add a little more, maybe I can win it."

Ma Yun thought and raised the sign again.

"Seven million!"

But as soon as he finished shouting, Cai Chongxin also raised the sign before Zhu Jun could react.

"Seven and a half million!"

Although Cai Chongxin also wanted to save money for his boss, he was instructed not to have a budget, no matter the cost!

The eyes of the audience were once again focused on Ma Yun.

Everyone wants to see if Mr. Ma, who was once Cai Chongxin’s boss, will continue to scream just for a breath.

Feeling the gazes of the big guys present, Ma Yun's unhappiness and disgust almost reached its peak.

His former subordinate was now confronting him, and he was so tit-for-tat and refused to give in. This feeling made him want to leave the bidding venue.

It's a pity that there is a more important title coming next, and he is reluctant to leave.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally took a deep breath and buttoned up the sign.

"The placement of the sketch "Not Short of Money" belongs to Fei Ge Video!"

Zhu Jun knew that the price had exceeded expectations, and he even saved the three countdowns.

After the skit placement and auction, it was time to finalize the title. This title was tied to the eight o'clock and zero o'clock time chimes.

A few years ago, the base price was still three million. Now, in 09, the base price has also risen, reaching five million.

When the bidding started, major brands such as liquor, electrical appliances, clothing, and Internet manufacturers raised the price to 30 million in just a few minutes.

But everyone's enthusiasm remains undiminished.

Everyone knows the influence of the Spring Festival Gala. If you sponsor the Spring Festival Gala, as long as the price is not outrageous, you will generally not lose money.

Tens of millions is nothing to today's wealthy companies.

Although the price of 30 million made several companies give up the competition, some companies joined in.

"Thirty-five million!"

"Thirty-six million!"

"Thirty-eight million!"

……

Two years ago, Jingdong spent 29 million to win the title of the Spring Festival Gala that year. Now, more than 30 million is completely unstoppable.

"Forty-two million!"

When the price reached 40 million, several more merchants withdrew, leaving only Haier and Baidu. Ma Yun saw the right opportunity and took action again.

"Forty-five million!"

Baidu is now also an Internet giant. It has almost occupied the Chinese search market and is considered to be wealthy.

"Damn, if I had known I would have done that skit just now."

Seeing that Baidu refused to give in, Ma Yun felt a little regretful. She felt that if she had to fight for Baidu, she might not be able to stop it at 5,000, but her budget was only 50 million.

He hesitated for a moment and then directly reported his budget: "Fifty million!"

"You guys play!"

This price really makes Haier want to put its brand down and stop playing.

Mr. Li from Baidu looked at Ma Yun and smiled faintly: "Fifty-three million!"

"You will know after a hundred degrees"

Mr. Li really wanted to win the title this time, and even thought about the advertising slogan.

"Fifty-five million!"

It was several million over budget, but he could still accept it for Ma Yun, who was worth tens of billions.

"Sixty million!"

But Baidu wouldn't give in at all.

"If I call again, he will definitely add more. It would be better to use this money to promote it in other places, and the effect will be better."

Ma Yun calculated the gains and losses and felt that it was no longer necessary when the price had reached this level. She shook her head and finally gave up.

Seeing Ah Li withdraw, Cai Chongxin breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he had worked with Ma Yun before, and the tit-for-tat situation between the two was not what he wanted to see.

"Now it's time for me to make an offer."

Before Cai Chongxin could count down Dong Qing, he held up a sign: "Fei Ge Video bids 62 million!"

"Cao Yu is really hardworking. Is he planning to go public this year?"

Ma Yun frowned when she heard that Cai Chongxin had raised the price again: "It seems that Huayi must be listed first this year, and then I will divide Ali's industries and list them as different companies, so that we can raise more money." some money."

When other people saw Cai Chongxin shouting such a high price with a confident look, they all admired Fei'e Video's courage.

"Boss Cao is indeed very wealthy."

"I wonder if Baidu will still bark?"

While some people were talking in low voices, Mr. Baidu Li remembered that he had always cooperated well with Fei'e Video. He smiled at Cai Chongxin and actually put on the sign and gave up.

"We were fighting very hard with Ah Li just now, but when Fei Goose opened his mouth, Baidu gave up?"

"What do you know? Ahri owns Yahoo, which is Baidu's rival. Naturally, he will keep barking and can't get Yahoo to get up. Fei'e Video has a good relationship with Baidu. Mr. Cai even invited Mr. Li for a talk this year. "

"It turns out that the Internet is quite complicated."

"That is."

In the midst of everyone's discussion, Dong Qing glanced at Ma Yun thoughtfully. What did he mean? "Mr. Ma, are you still shouting?"

Everyone also followed Dong Qing's gaze.

The surrounding reporters also seized the opportunity and pointed their cameras at Ma Yun.
