China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 461 459. Do you want to drink milk tea? Avatar Released (5-in-, K)

Wang Zhonglei helped Huayi obtain the authorization for "If You Are the One" and made an appointment with Boss Cao to go to Australia. His mission was quite successfully completed.

Without staying to discuss the charity night, he hurriedly left Feiyu Entertainment and reported to his elder brother Wang Zhongjun.

After Wang Zhonglei left, Su Mang said: "Mr. Cao, if you really want to enjoy a little gambling, I will make an appointment with Na Ying and Wang Fei when you have time. Let's play a few rounds casually. Winning or losing is trivial. Australian people are like It’s better not to go there.”

"I just went to watch the excitement, not necessarily to actually play."

Hearing this, Cao Yu smiled. It seemed that Su Mang and Wang Zhonglei really bumped into each other accidentally.

As for playing mahjong with Na Ying, he was even less interested: "I'm not very good at playing mahjong either."

"Then you are still going to join in the fun? Although you don't care about money, the last thing in the entertainment industry is pornography, gambling and drugs. If you accidentally get involved, the company will definitely be affected."

Su said hurriedly and smiled sweetly: "Mr. Cao, I am only thinking about you."

"I know."

Cao Yu smiled lightly and touched his chin.

In fact, after talking to Xu Jing about going to Australia last time, he already had a plan in mind to deal with Wang Zhonglei, so he agreed today.

It's just that the woman in front of me seems to not want to give up on herself?

I know you covet my body, but I really don't like you.

"Forget it, I talk too much and you don't like to hear it. Anyway, just be careful."

Seeing that Boss Cao was dealing with it casually, Su quickly changed the subject and asked, "What do you think about this year's charity gala?"

"For this year's charity night, we will invite more celebrities and get some sponsorships. We can also ask Guo Degang to be the host. He is sharp-tongued and the auction effect should be better. In addition, the program setting of the party should be based on Our company is mainly composed of artists.”

Cao Yu expressed his thoughts: "In addition to the auction, I am considering adding a celebrity donation component. If someone has nothing to lose, there is no need to not invite this person next year."

"Will people say that we are forced to donate? Is this considered moral kidnapping?"

Su Mang was a little confused.

"If it's ordinary people, it's moral kidnapping. But celebrities are not included. They are high-income people. What's wrong with making some contributions to society?"

Cao Yu smiled faintly: "This year we will also disclose the whereabouts of last year's donations for everyone to supervise, but guests who come must show some love, and there is no limit to the amount."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Hearing what Cao Yu said, Su Mang reluctantly agreed, and then smiled and said: "How can you thank me, Mr. Cao? How about treating me to dinner tonight?"

"Okay, the buffet upstairs in our company is pretty good. You saw it just now. It has everything."

"Forget it, we'll talk about it later when we have the chance."

Hearing that Cao Yu invited him to eat in the canteen, Su Mang had no choice but to give up. Anyway, the two of them had cooperated for a long time and would find opportunities to deal with this man in the future.

After seeing off Su Mang, Cao Yu came upstairs again. This time he didn't meet Naza. However, Yi Yang Qianqian and the others had practiced well in both dancing and singing, and they had also passed the first level of piano.

It seems that in August, I can try to upload some videos of the three children and slowly start to accumulate popularity.

While Cao Yu was waiting for the release of Avatar, on July 3, a photo of a girl holding milk tea appeared on the Internet.

In the past few years, after being baptized by two great gods, Sister Furong and Sister Feng, this girl's pure appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people.

This photo was quickly spread and forwarded on the Internet through Weibo, QQ Tieba and other channels. In just a few days, the girl in this photo was affectionately called Milk Tea MM by netizens.

Jinling Foreign Language School.

"It's all your fault!"

At the end of the final exam for the second year of high school, Zhang Zetian, the protagonist of the photo, saw that his photo was going viral and complained to his best friend in dissatisfaction.

"I just sent it to my QQ space to leave a souvenir, and I also set it to be visible only to friends. I really didn't expect this."

My best friend was also a little helpless. She really didn’t expect the power of the Internet to be so powerful.

But anyway, this photo was circulated through her QQ space. She had to comfort her friend: "Maybe this is a good thing. Now that you are famous, maybe a milk tea company will ask you to be an endorsement. I am envious." It’s too late.”

"Why don't you express your envy to yourself?"

Although Zhang Zetian complained, the photos had been circulated and he could not take them back.

"I don't look good, so there's no point in posting it."

My best friend said helplessly, and then said: "Look, someone online threatened to spend all their wealth to pursue you, and there was also a courtship letter. Do you want to read it?"

"Don't look, he's dreaming!"

Zhang Zetian snorted, she didn't look down on these people.

The two were talking about the photos in the classroom, when a male classmate walked in: "Xiaotian, your mother called you to go home for dinner."

Zhang Zetian scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? My mother has not been in Jinling recently."

"It's true. A middle-aged woman came to see you just now and is waiting for you downstairs."

The male classmate said, pointing to a few people downstairs.

Zhang Zetian leaned on the railing and took a look. Although he didn't recognize the other party, he still called his best friend to go downstairs.

"You must be classmate Zhang Zetian, you are even more beautiful than in the photo."

When the woman saw Zhang Zetian, she praised her first, and then took out a business card: "My surname is Jiang, and I am the manager of the advertising department of Xiangpiaopiao Milk Tea. I am here this time to ask you to be the spokesperson for our milk tea. Can you take me there?" Meet your parents?"

"Sorry, I'm not interested."

When Zhang Zetian heard that it was a milk tea company, he immediately rejected the other party's request and turned around to go upstairs.

The fragrant Manager Jiang did not expect to be rejected, so he hurriedly told the endorsement price: "Classmate Zhang, please wait a moment. Please listen to our conditions first. The endorsement fee is 500,000 yuan a year!"

"Sorry, we have class later."

Although half a million is indeed a lot, Zhang Zetian feels that this small amount of money cannot affect his studies.

"If you think half a million is too little, we can talk again."

Manager Jiang wanted to say more, but when he saw that Zhang Zetian had gone upstairs, he could only shake his head: "This girl is good-looking and has quite a personality. She actually refuses to endorse for us?"

"Xiaotian, even half a million can buy a house in Jinling, and you actually refuse."

When I went upstairs, my best friend was envious and puzzled.

"I don't lack this little money. My goal is to get into a good university."

"Then find a rich husband!"

Before Zhang Zetian finished speaking, his best friend added.

"Tch~, are you thinking about this every day? No wonder we can't be in the same class."

"Isn't it just that I accidentally made you famous? There's no need to kill people and be heartbroken, right? How disgusting!"

Zhang Zetian was assigned to the Rocket Class. The students in this class were either going to Yantai University or Mizuki University. If they were admitted to Jinling University, they would be embarrassed to say hello to others at the class reunion.

But he was in the ordinary class, and his best friend felt that the gap between him and Xiaotian was getting wider and wider.

…………

The crew of "Into the Dust".

"Director Zhang, take a look at this photo. The girl above is nice and looks very innocent. She might be able to star in your next film "Hawthorn Tree Love"."

During a break in filming, Zhang Yimou’s assistant showed him a photo of a girl that was recently popular on the Internet.

"I've seen it a long time ago. She does have the potential to be a star. It's a pity that she is still young and is only in the third year of high school. But she should go to college the year after next. We can try to invite her to participate in the drama "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" .”

Zhang Yimou said and ordered: "Find a way for someone to contact this girl and ask her if she is willing to film. If possible, make a decision first."

"Ok."

The assistant nodded and thought Director Zhang had a good idea. "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" requires many actresses who can speak Jinling dialect, and that girl is just right.

Yanjing, Feiyu Entertainment.

"Boss, I saw a girl online. I think I can sign her and train her. She will definitely have a future."

The manager of the agency department hurriedly came to the boss's office and showed the boss the photo of the milk tea girl.

"She is indeed famous."

Cao Yu wanted to laugh when he saw the photo. This girl became an Internet celebrity in the life before he was reborn, and later married Brother Dong.

Unfortunately, because of her appearance, Brother Dong is now married, and she has no hope.

"Although she does look good, I probably won't become an actor."

Cao Yu remembered that this girl could even refuse the invitation of director Zhang Yimou. Would she be willing to be an actress?

But it doesn’t matter if you try, maybe it will work.

Thinking of this, Cao Yu smiled at the manager of the agency department: "You can try to get someone to contact this girl, but I saw on the Internet that she went to a key school, so I guess there is little hope."

"I'll arrange for someone to go and talk first."

After all, this is what talent scouts do, so the manager agreed and immediately arranged for employees to go to Jinling.

When he was alone in the office, Cao Yu turned on his computer, found the photo of the milk tea girl, took a look at it, and said with a smile, "Even without Brother Dong, her target would be someone on the rich list."

Then I thought: "Am I not the one on the rich list?"

But thinking of Brother Dong's experience, he immediately smiled again: "This woman is very smart, and I don't want to get married, so it's better not to provoke her. Besides, the women around me are not bad either, so I won't drink this cup of milk tea. "Since this girl is the school beauty, there must be many people chasing her in school."

Although Cao Yu gave up drinking the cup of milk tea, it suddenly reminded him of a movie, so he immediately called Yu Baimei, the deputy manager of the screenwriting department: "Go to Taiwan right away and find a writer named Nine Knives. Let’s see if we can get the film and television adaptation rights for the book called “The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years”!”

"Good boss!"

Yu Baimei did not dare to neglect what the boss had personally ordered and immediately booked a flight to prepare to go to Taiwan Province.

Thinking of "The Girl We Chased Together", Cao Yu immediately thought of another movie "To Our Dying Youth" and immediately asked his secretary to make arrangements to get the copyright of the novel of the same name for this movie.

The investment for these two films was not large, but the box office was very good, especially "To Youth", which together with Xuan Fajia, cost less than 60 million, but took over 700 million at the box office.

More importantly, this film can be acted by young girls from the company, and won't it fascinate a lot of otakus?

July 10th, summer vacation, no year or holiday.

But this day is a memorable day for the film industry.

James Cameron, a legend in the film industry, has produced classic films such as the "Terminator" series, "True Lies" and the "Alien" series.

Eleven years ago, his film "Titanic" became an unsurpassed existence in love-moment disaster films. The global box office record set by this film has not been broken to this day.

Perhaps, beyond this record, only he himself.

Starting in 05, after more than two years of filming and nearly two years of post-production, "Avatar", which lasted four years, was finally released on this ordinary day.

"Honey, after dinner, do we want to go watch this movie?"

Yang Shuxue knew that her husband invested 100 million US dollars in this film. This investment was completely a risk for him at the time, so she also wanted to see what this film was like.

"Okay, let's go and have a look."

Although Cao Yu watched it once in the cinema, twice on the computer, and again in the later remake, it doesn't matter if he watches this kind of movie again, and he won't feel uncomfortable.

After dinner, the two of them arrived at the theater and were stunned by the scene in front of them.

The queue for buying tickets was more than a hundred meters long, stretching from the theater to the door. Many people endured the sweltering summer heat just to grab a movie ticket.

"Is it so popular?"

Although Yang Shuxue already knew that since the movie was released at midnight, almost every show has been full, but she never expected that it would become so popular?

"Husband, did you know before that this movie would be so popular? That's why you let me open so many 3D and IMAX theaters? You didn't even hesitate to borrow money to invest in this movie?"

She looked at this man who was smaller than herself, and she really suspected that he had come back from the future.

"Mainly because I watched "The Terminator" and "True Lies" directed by James in the video theater when I was a kid. Later I watched "Titanic" and I felt that his film would definitely be extraordinary."

Cao Yu was looking at the woman's eyes and made some excuses with a guilty conscience.

"Anyway, hubby, you are so awesome. If this hot situation continues for half a month, we can make another fortune!"

Huanyu Film and Television now has more than 500 screens. If every venue is full, the revenue from the theater alone will be at least 300-400 million.

"Despicable Me" made more than 400 million before. This time it will make another profit. From the theaters alone, this year's revenue will exceed 1 billion.

No wonder Cao Yu's first suggestion to him seven years ago was to start a theater chain. It seems that this area is really profitable.

"Three to four hundred million is probably unstoppable. We have 100 IMAX screens and money to sell glasses."

As Cao Yu was talking, a thief-minded man came over and knocked on the car window.

Hearing the noise, Pang Yuan and the driver immediately got out of the car, surrounded the man, and said coldly: "What are you doing?"

Seeing this posture, the man was startled. He was about to run away, but Pang Yuan grabbed his arm and shouted: "Say! What are you doing?"

"I just want to ask if you are here to watch the movie. I have tickets here. For an extra five hundred each, I can show you this team. You can't buy tickets at all now."

Although the man was scared, he often led mischief here. He guessed that these two vicious guys were probably the bodyguards of the people in the car. He originally wanted to add a hundred, but he temporarily changed his mind to five hundred.

"roll!"

Hearing that the other party was actually a scalper for reselling movie tickets, Pang Yuan was a little amused. He drank and then returned to the car: "Boss, he is a ticket seller. I asked you if you want tickets. I was laughing so hard."

The person sitting in the car, but the owner of this movie theater, needs movie tickets?

"The ticket sellers are out."

Yang Shuxue was even more stunned. Is this more lively than the Guoan game?

"Ticket sellers are everywhere."

Cao Yu also sighed with emotion, and then ordered the driver to drive the car to the garage.

It seems that after this ticket grab, Damai.com’s ticketing platform will have many more users.

Feiyu Entertainment.

"Sissi, stop being busy, let's go watch a movie. The movie "Avatar" you starred in has been released. I heard it's very popular. I want to go see it."

After Yang Mi finished her work in the studio, she ran to Liu Yifei's office and asked her to watch a movie.

She was very curious, how was Liu Yifei's performance in this film? Is there anyone better than yourself? Why would my godbrother give her such an opportunity?

"I don't want to watch it. I acted it myself. It looks weird."

Liu Yifei was really embarrassed to go.

"Let's go. It's the weekend tomorrow. It's okay anyway. You can stay with me."

Yang Mi couldn't help but pull Liu Yifei away.

"Okay, let me also see what the IMAX 3D effect Brother Cao Yu said is like."

Seeing this, Liu Yifei had to reluctantly agree.

"Sissi, were you pretending just now? Or do you want to have the opportunity to accompany my brother to see it?"

"Where did I pretend to be? Will you watch the film you took?"

"I feel so embarrassed if I don't look at it."

"That's not right."

Liu Yifei muttered, put on sunglasses and a mask, and the two came to the garage and drove to Huanyu Plaza in the CBD.

“There are so many people”

The two parked the car and came to the entrance of the theater. Yang Mi took a breath of air: "This is too exaggerated, it's so terrifying!"

Liu Yifei smiled and said: "Mimi, do you also watch "Fights Break the Sphere"?"

Yang Mi said: "Haha, I was just bored watching it. My brother asked me to find a novel and adapt it into a script first. This book has been very popular recently, so I just read it and it felt pretty good."

“It’s better to read less nutritious books like this.”

Hearing that Yang Mi liked online novels such as "Fights Break the Sphere", Liu Yifei suddenly felt that her appreciation level was higher than that of Yang Mi, and she felt a little proud.

"You haven't seen it? How do you know it's so scary?"

"I just flipped through it casually."

"I don't believe it. I think it looks good. It's a pity that this novel is difficult to film because the special effects requirements are too high."

The two bickered and chatted without joining in the fun and lining up, and walked directly into the cinema.

What catches the eye is a huge promotional poster. On it, Liu Yifei, who is all blue, wearing very few clothes, holding a strange bow and arrow in her hand, and a long tail behind her back.

"You look like this, it's so funny."

Yang Mi looked at Liu Yifei and then at the poster, and felt that Liu Yifei's appearance in this movie completely subverted the image of the fairy sister.

"I can't say it. If you insist on letting me come, I'll leave if you laugh again. It doesn't look like you can buy a ticket anyway."

Liu Yifei was a little embarrassed to be seen, stamped her feet, and wanted to go home.

"I'm not kidding you anymore."

Yang Mi quickly grabbed her and took out her mobile phone: "I'll call my brother and ask him to get us two tickets."

Huanyu's giant-screen theater has specially reserved luxurious private rooms. These private rooms are usually not open to the public and are just for watching movies by yourself or your friends.

"Husband, someone suggested that I sponsor the Guoan football team next year. What do you think?"

"Football? Let's not play that, okay? It's not interesting."

Cao Yu and Yang Shuxue were chatting in the box, waiting for the movie to start.

"why?"

"Aunt Baiyun said, it's heartbreaking to see. With this money, it's better to donate to a few more schools so that children can play football."

As Cao Yu was talking, the phone rang.

"Mimi?"

Cao Yu answered the phone and heard Yang Mi's voice: "Brother, Sissi and I came to your theater in CBD to watch "Avatar". We can't buy tickets. Please get us two."

"You guys came to watch a movie too?"

Cao Yu was startled, then glanced at Yang Shuxue, covered the receiver, and said, "Yang Mi and Qian Qian are also watching the movie, why don't we call them over together?"

"Okay, let's watch it together."

This box can accommodate six people, so it doesn't matter if there are two more people. Yang Shuxue has known Liu Yifei and the others for a long time, so she agreed without thinking.

　I was a little more anxious today, and I later corrected some things that were not smooth, so I apologize to everyone.
