China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 476 474. "Red Mansions" is finished, and both Bao and Dai are interested (5-in-, K)

The so-called "one shot to the end" refers to shooting an entire movie with one shot, but this technique generally only appears in documentaries.

In other movies, it is difficult to achieve a true one-shot to the end, but a long shot can be considered a one-shot to the end as long as there is no editing.

When Zhang Yimou tried this technique this time, he basically chose to shoot with a long lens. This actually requires both the actor's acting skills and the director's basic skills.

Fortunately, Zhang Yimou can be called a national teacher, and his level is naturally excellent. In addition, the actors are very serious, so there were basically no problems during this filming.

Anyway, I have a lot of time, and the funds provided by Boss Cao are also sufficient. At worst, NG will have to start over.

Hearing Zhang Yimou pointing his sword at Berlin, Cao Yu smiled in admiration. "Director Zhang, do you want to come back with a Golden Bear Award next year?"

Since "Red Sorghum" more than 20 years ago, although Director Zhang has been nominated several times, he has never won the Golden Bear again. It seems that he was able to stay in the northwest for half a year this time, probably just for this award.

"I think the chances are good."

Zhang Yimou was indeed full of confidence. He smiled without humility and asked, "Xiao Cao, why did you use your time to come to the northwest this time?"

"Come and take a look and discuss something with you."

Cao Yu took a look at the yellow sand in the sky and talked about a plan he had in mind during this period: "I watched Lu Chuan's "Jinling! Jinling!" this year and it was a bit disgusting. I plan to shoot "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" first next year. , what do you think?"

"It's a bit disgusting indeed!"

Zhang Yimou recalled some of the plots in Red Sorghum and nodded in approval: "Then I'll shoot as you said. I just don't know if I'll have enough time to select the actors. You have to help me with this."

"That's for sure."

Now Feiyu Entertainment has so many girls and so many potential male actors, all they need to do is find the female lead.

Speaking of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", Zhang Yimou suddenly asked: "By the way, Xiao Cao, you should have seen the photo of the milk tea girl in the previous paragraph, right?"

Cao Yu was a little surprised as to why Lao Zhang mentioned her, but he still nodded: "I've seen it."

"That girl is good in every way. See if you can invite her over."

Zhang Yimou is very picky about actors. When he finds a good talent, he naturally wants to explore it.

It's a pity that the last time I sent someone to talk, I was rejected by that little girl. It was really a surprise.

“A bit difficult”

"Xiao Cao, you are the boss of an entertainment company. I can't believe these words coming from your mouth."

"Director Zhang, to be honest, I also went to scout, but I still didn't get signed. The little girl said that she was busy studying in her senior year of high school and didn't want to delay the college entrance examination."

"."

When Zhang Yimou heard this, he didn't know how to answer.

Girls love to study, is that wrong?

Although Boss Cao failed, he still wanted to fight for it: "Xiao Cao, when this film is finished, we will go to Jinling together to try for the last time. Even if the negotiation is not successful, we can recruit some other children, students of this film, I plan to use local people.”

"Ok."

Cao Yu did not refuse. He also wanted to see how cold and cold that milk tea was. Even Director Zhang refused.

I spent a day on the set of "Into the Dust" and looked at the materials shot by Zhang Yimou. Sure enough, compared to the original movie, whether it is the tone or the actors' performances, it really feels a bit like "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit".

Coupled with the one-shot shooting, everyone under the camera has a breath of life.

"From my perspective, maybe you can take the gold and silver bears together."

After reading these materials, Cao Yu, who has also directed a movie, still admires Zhang Yimou. At least Director Zhang can understand the lives of the people at the bottom, and his shots can touch people's hearts more.

"It would be nice to have one."

Zhang Yimou is not greedy. It would be great if he can get one. What if the request is too high and he will accompany him again?

Damn it, why did I say "again"?

…………

Cao Yu was busy taking over SM during this period, and the negotiations between Jobs and Lee Jae-yong, the current actual controller of Samsung, also came to an end.

"Thank you Vice President Li for your support."

The negotiations during this period of time made Jobs, who was in poor health, very tired. Fortunately, he called Cook to come with him this time, and finally managed to get Samsung done.

"It should."

Recently, Lee Kun-hee, the actual controller of Samsung, has been involved in a family lawsuit, and the company's operations are basically maintained by Lee Jae-yong.

This time Jobs came to South Korea to ask Samsung to stop processing chips for Huawei. He thought that with the backing of the United States and the threat of changing suppliers, Samsung would obey. However, Jobs' request was directly rejected by Lee Jae-yong.

Samsung is not stupid. Huawei now occupies almost half of China’s smartphone market and generates hundreds of millions of dollars in profits for Samsung every year. Will it give up?

Although the United States is my father, no matter how great your Apple is in the United States, you cannot make demands on my behalf on my father’s behalf.

In the end, after more than ten days of continuous negotiations, Samsung finally reluctantly agreed to increase the price of chips produced for Huawei by 10%.

In fact, Samsung also has its own plans.

First, he doesn’t want to lose Apple as a customer because of this incident.

Second, they have also developed a series of unrivaled smartphones in the past two years. If the prices of Huawei mobile phones increase, Samsung itself may be able to grab some of China's market share.

If you process chips for people, how can you make money by directly selling mobile phones?

Jobs was quite satisfied with the outcome of the negotiation. If Samsung chip prices increased, Huawei's mobile phone prices abroad would also increase accordingly. Wouldn't Apple's opportunity come then?

"Vice President Li, when will the price be raised to Huawei?"

Jobs finally had to confirm the time so that he could go back and make plans for Apple's new mobile phone.

Lee Jae-yong said: "Huawei said that it will send new chip designs after October, and then we can take the opportunity to increase the price."

"OK, thanks."

Jobs nodded calmly, but he was thinking: "New chip design? It seems that Huawei has a new mobile phone to launch. I wonder what their design will look like this time."

When he left Samsung and went to the hotel, he said to Cook: "Tim, do you think Huawei's new mobile phone will continue to be upgraded and improved based on the P3, or will it have a new design?"

"I have already inquired about the design concepts of these Huawei mobile phones. They are all created by Cao Yu. This person can't figure it out, and I can't guess what tricks the new mobile phones can do."

Several models of Huawei’s mobile phones flashed through Cook’s mind.

Especially the 09 model, with its metal edging and vertical back cover, it’s simply too classic.

If Apple wants to surpass, it can only imitate Samsung and make a big screen.

"This Huaxia Cao came out of nowhere. During this time in Han Bang, I heard that his entertainment company is in a lawsuit with another company. He is an entertainment company, why would he need a mobile phone? He is really not doing his job properly. "

As Jobs spoke, he couldn't help but want to go to Cao Yu, and then pointed at his nose and asked: "Can't you just make movies properly? How can female stars who can still make unspoken rules make trouble in the technology industry?"

"Hey, this person is indeed a monster."

Cook sighed and said: "Let's actually learn from Samsung and make the screen bigger. Maybe it will be better."

"Well, being thin, big, and fast is the future direction of our iPhones!"

Jobs thought about this suggestion and thought it was a good idea and nodded.

After saying that, he glanced in the direction of Huaxia and thought to himself: "The East is a mysterious place. Could it be that Cao Yu was sent by God to deal with me on purpose?"

…………

Xiangshan Film and Television City.

Jing Tian, ​​who plays Xue Baochai, heard that Cao Yu was coming to attend the closing ceremony of "Dream of Red Mansions" and waited in the parking lot early.

Of course, there were also the crew and managers of the studio, as well as many actors from Feiyu, in the parking lot.

When the big boss comes, you have to put all the big things aside and come to welcome the boss.

Among the crowd, Jing Tian was wearing a white dress, which completely outlined her beautiful figure.

In order to welcome her seniors, she spent more than an hour just picking out clothes today.

Senior Cao Yu once promised himself that after the filming of "Dream of Red Mansions" is completed, she can be his girlfriend.

She has been waiting for this day for almost two years, and she has worked very hard to perform the role of Xue Baochai to her best.

When she saw Cao Yu's familiar Mercedes-Benz stopped, she really wanted to rush over and be the first to say hello to her senior, regardless of the other people around her.

But Jingtian finally held back.

"A Dream of Red Mansions" has been a full three years from project establishment to filming, and three and a half years of external publicity. This final ceremony not only attracted directors, actors, and entertainment companies from the entertainment industry who wanted to make good friends with Feiyu , and more than a hundred media reporters.

If she rushes over now, that will definitely be big news.

"The boss is really getting more and more interesting..."

Beside Jing Tian, ​​Mao Xiaotong looked at Cao Yu from a distance. Thinking of that time, his eyes were filled with admiration and love.

"Director Hu, thank you for your hard work."

After Cao Yu got off the car, he looked at the group of people in front of him and shook hands with director Hu Mei.

From casting to actor training to filming, it has been two years. Cao Yu still admires this female director who is willing to stay here.

In the current Chinese entertainment industry, which company dares to allow a movie to be filmed for two years? After a year of filming, investors will be calling. Thanks to Boss Cao, he was not short of money. Mainly, he gave me enough.

"Mr. Cao, we have finally completed our mission successfully."

Hu Mei also devoted two years of her efforts to this drama. On the one hand, she wanted to make another classic, and on the other hand, she also wanted to slap Li Shaohong in the face.

Shaking hands with those who welcomed him one by one, Cao Yu, accompanied by Hu Mei, was surrounded by everyone and went to the crew to shoot the last scene.

Then comes the final ceremony and final banquet.

The last shot was of Jia Baoyu searching for Daiyu in the yard, without Jing Tian.

She finally plucked up the courage, came to Cao Yu, and whispered: "Senior, you are finally here. I thought you had forgotten us."

"You are in this TV series, why can't I come?"

Cao Yu looked at this much matured girl and glanced at her. She might have been trained in Han Bang, or he might have accepted the identity of this scumbag and immediately sent sweet words to Jing Tian.

"Senior. Really?"

Jingtian's face was shy, like a little rouge on her fair cheeks, making her look more beautiful.

"of course."

When they first met, Jingtian still felt a little green, but now she has become a mature girl, like a peony about to bloom.

"Crack!"

When the last shot was taken, Hu Mei shouted loudly, and then the fireworks tubes and firecrackers that had been prepared went off immediately.

Taking photos is an essential part of the closing ceremony.

Cao Yu is the producer and also named the chief producer, so of course he sits in the middle.

Next to him was supposed to be director Hu Mei, but as soon as Cao Yu stood up, Jing Tian and Mao Xiaotong, the two Daiyu Baochai in the play, rushed to stand on both sides of him.

"?"

Cao Yu turned his head, Maomao, this girl, has never been too confrontational with me. Before, her nose was not a nose, and her eyes were not eyes. What happened today?

Why did you come to me instead of trying to please Director Hu Mei?

Xiao Juan, the male lead, is also a contract artist of Feiyu. He originally wanted to stand with the boss, but when he saw that the position was already taken by two girls, he had to wait for the director to pass by and see which position was suitable for him.

Although this drama has not been aired yet, and he has not really entered the entertainment industry, he understands a little bit about the human nature and sophistication in it.

"Baochai and Daiyu are going to show their love together. It's really good to have money."

When the reporters around saw the two beauties next to Boss Cao, they could only express their envy in their hearts.

"Haha, this little guy Xiao Juan is so handsome. He attracted many girls who played maids on the set to express their love. But when Boss Cao came, he became dim. The charm of the richest man is that he is big."

Seeing this, Hu Mei smiled inwardly and shook her head: "Just give the opportunity to these two girls."

After thinking about it, she stood directly next to Jing Tian.

Cao Yu was afraid that Director Hu Mei would have objections to Jing Tian, ​​so he hurriedly said: "Director Hu, how about you and Jing Tian change?"

"No, it's okay."

Hu Mei waved her hands, her face unconcerned.

Jing Tian then realized that she just wanted to stand next to the senior and ignored the director. Just as she was about to give up her position, Cao Yu gently pulled her and said, "Just stand next to me and shoot. It's okay."

"Thank you, senior."

Jing Tian immediately understood that the senior was helping him out.

If he said this, director Hu Mei would not blame himself for taking her position.

After standing in the middle positions, Xiao Juan quickly came to Mao Xiaotong, leaving the middle C for the boss.

"one two three"

"It's done!"

While filming, Jing Tian suddenly felt something in her heart. While the actors and crew were shouting, she secretly grabbed Cao Yu's arm.

At the same time, the camera also recorded this moment.

After taking photos, the next step was to go to the Xiangshan Huanyu Resort Hotel for the closing banquet.

The entire closing banquet was decorated almost like a wedding venue.

Before the banquet started, after a group of actresses performed a dance that was too unreal, the host came on stage.

"First of all, I would like to welcome Mr. Cao Yucao, the producer and chief producer of this drama, to tell you a few words."

Amidst the applause, Cao Yu left his seat, walked onto the stage, and took the microphone from the host.

"First of all, I would like to thank Director Hu Mei, all the staff of the crew, and all the actors for their hard work on this drama. I believe that my drama will be unforgettable for everyone."

"The Red Mansion is a dream, and life is a play. I hope this play is not a dream for you. Maybe many years later, when you achieve higher achievements in the entertainment industry, don't forget the experience of these two years."

"Classics cannot be copied, but classics are also performed by people. As long as every film and television worker has a respectful attitude towards art, it is not impossible to reproduce classics."

"Finally, I hope that through this drama, we can promote our Chinese culture to the whole world!"

Applause rang out again, and Cao Yu was about to step down.

"Mr. Cao, please stay."

The reporter stopped him and said, "Mr. Cao, there are many female characters in our Dream of Red Mansions. Who is the most beautiful in your heart, the frail Daiyu or the majestic and dignified Baochai?"

"The whole job?"

Knowing that this was a lively atmosphere, Cao Yu smiled inwardly, took the phone again, and glanced at Jing Tian and Mao Xiaotong in the audience.

The two girls also looked at Cao Yu with smiles, hoping to be praised.

In fact, between these two people, Mao Xiaotong is a fresh beauty like a lotus, while Jing Tian has a dignified appearance. Although the latter is slightly better, if she directly said that Jing Tian is beautiful, Maomao would definitely be unhappy.

Cao Yu thought for a while and said with a smile: "I guess even Cao Xueqin would not be able to answer this question."

Just when everyone thought that Boss Cao would fool her like this, they heard him continue: "In fact, in our drama, which girl is not beautiful? Is it Wang Xifeng who is not beautiful? Or is our Qingwen not beautiful? Or is it the other members of our staff who are not beautiful? "

"Yes! Yes! Boss Cao is right!"

In the audience, Sun Li, who played Wang Xifeng, immediately took the lead in shouting.

"However, the most beautiful thing is our director Hu Mei, because she has paid the most for this play!"

"clap clap"

The applause was louder than before, and Hu Mei's face was filled with gratitude to Boss Cao.

Although Cao Yu didn't directly praise himself, which made Jing Tian a little disappointed, he still praised the senior's emotional intelligence.

Mao Xiaotong pouted: "You are still so eloquent, no wonder you can deceive such a girl, but when are you going to deceive me? In fact, I am easy to deceive, even easier than Li Ying."

"Thank you, Mr. Cao, for your answer. It is true that Director Hu worked a lot for this play. In the past two years, she only went home four times to ask Director Hu Mei to come and say a few words for this play."

On the stage, the director, leading actors and others were invited to come up, give speeches and take photos.

Under the stage, Cao Yu and Jing Tian chatted quietly.

"Senior, what you just said is very good, but in your heart, do you like Baochai or Daiyu?"

"Can I say that I like Mrs. Wang?"

"Mrs. Wang?"

"just kidding."

Mrs. Wang was played by Aunt Liu. Cao Yu told the truth in a joking way, and then said with a smile: "Of course Xiao Tiantian is the most beautiful."

"If you call me Xiao Tiantian now, will you do it in the future?"

Jing Tian's "Mrs. Niu" hadn't been spoken yet, but he felt something was wrong and immediately shut up.

"I won't call you Mrs. Cow in the future."

Cao Yu, however, completed the last half of the sentence for her.

"Actually, I want to be Mrs. Cao."

Jing Tian secretly said something in his mind and whispered: "Senior, can you accompany me for a walk outside later?"

The second phase of the film and television city is now almost completed, and it is bigger and more beautiful. Jing Tian has been filming here for two years, and he even wants Cao Yu to take him out to eat delicious food.

"Okay, let's go after dinner."

Being a celebrity comes with the hardships of being a celebrity. In addition to being abroad, Cao Yu is also protected by several people when he goes out. Now he rarely goes shopping in China.

Now Jing Tian happened to have this request, and he also knew that the little girl wanted to find the feeling of falling in love. He also remembered that he had promised this girl that as long as she performed well after filming this movie, he would promise her to be his girlfriend. one.

Just now to satisfy this girl's little request.
