China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 500 498. Angry at the screenwriter, inviting milk tea (5-in-, K)

The spring night is short and the sun is rising, so the king never comes out early from now on.

It's a pity that Boss Cao is not a king. Although he doesn't have to go to court early, he still has to work to support his family.

The next day, Yang Mi flew to the crew of "Beauty's Scheming" to complete the final filming, while Liu Yifei continued to the northwest. The desert scenes of "Gateway" will only be filmed in half a month.

Cao Yu took Li Di to the crew of "New Three Kingdoms".

Part of the Three Kingdoms scenes were filmed in the Three Kingdoms City in Wuxi. After seeing off Li Min, Cao Yu happened to go to Jinling, which was not too far away.

"Mr. Cao, I didn't expect you to come in person!"

Director Gao Xixi and the producer heard that Boss Cao was coming in person, and hurriedly led the crew to welcome him out.

"I have some errands to do in Jinling, so I stopped by to take a look."

Cao Yu shook hands with everyone and said with a smile: "This is Li Yan, an artist from our company. I recommend her to play the role of Sun Shangxiang."

Not to mention that in ancient times, you were not allowed to bring your family with you when fighting. This was a capital crime. And what about the high-spirited Zhou Yu?

The meeting of heroes that was being filmed was exactly the same as what Cao Yu had seen before. It didn't feel like a group of heroes at all. There were only a dozen generals and counselors, and the scene was extremely shabby.

Producer Yang is Mr. Yang who attracted Cao Yu to invest in Pony Galloping Film and Television more than a year ago. When he heard this question, he, who knew a little about history, was asked and didn't know how to answer.

"you"

Zhu Sujin originally wanted to say what do you know, but when he remembered Boss Cao's identity and the Oscar title of Best Screenwriter, he suddenly stopped and forcefully explained: "This is not official history."

Producer Yang is quite proud. These two films were both hits of the year.

"Let's see."

Xiao Qiao is also played by Zhao Ke, a graduate of Nortel, who is also Liu Ruyu in "Celebrating More Than Years".

After a while, he made an excuse and said, "Mr. Cao, this is a romance."

"Feiyu Entertainment is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. This girl is pretty good, even better than Lin Xinru."

That means, if you like it, why don't you invest more?

In the sound, an old man walked in, it was Zhu Sujin, the screenwriter of "New Three Kingdoms".

Producer Yang was overjoyed and said with a smile: "The set is filming the meeting of heroes."

When Li Min heard the director's flattering words, he couldn't help but look at the boss gratefully.

"Would you like to invite Zhao Ke to film "Celebrating More Than Years" next year?"

"Even if it's a novel, it can be adapted, but not made up randomly!"

Cao Yu only watched half of "New Three Kingdoms" back then, and he felt thunder rolling from the sky, so he continued to watch it.

Xiao Qiao from the old Three Kingdoms is the beautiful He Jing who has played in four famous works. Although Xiao Qiao from the new Three Kingdoms is lacking in temperament, her looks are only okay.

Zhou Yu even asked his wife Xiao Qiao to dance with a sword in front of everyone?

"Replacing Lin Xinru last time was indeed the right decision. Not only did we make good friends with Boss Cao, but now if he thinks the film is good, he might be able to invest more."

Producer Yang, who was accompanying him, thought Boss Cao was fascinated by what he saw, and laughed in his heart: "Last time I asked you to invest, you didn't invest. Now you think it's good, do you regret it?"

And when she came here, she even took a ride on her boss's private jet, allowing the little girl who was not yet twenty years old to see the life of a rich person for the first time.

Cao Yu looked at the old man, and he was in a good mood, but it suddenly got worse. He said rudely and directly: "In your plot, the female family members can be brought into the military camp openly. Do you think the audience are all idiots?" ?”

After a while, when Cao Yu nodded slightly, he asked, "Mr. Cao, how do you feel?"

"I"

Someone is covering me, and it really feels good.

Gao Xixi looked at Li Xi. Except that this girl was a little thin, there was nothing else to say.

Cao Yu smiled coldly in his heart and said: "Haha, doesn't he know that you can't bring your family with you in ancient wars? Does he really not understand, or does he want to deliberately mislead the audience?"

Cao Yu looked at this woman, but he was planning another drama of his.

As soon as Cao Yu finished speaking, a voice came from the door of the studio: "Who is saying that I made it up?"

After looking around the crew, Cao Yu asked, "How is the filming going?"

"Yes, "Kangxi Dynasty" and "Zhu Yuanzhang" were both written by him."

"Isn't he the screenwriter who made Ming Dynasty's ministers insist on calling them 'slaves' in front of the emperor? The phrase 'I'm greedy for your body' came from this play."

However, Xiao Qiao left a deep impression on him, not because he looked good or acted well, but because the character setting made him extremely embarrassed.

"I didn't realize when I was in school that Nortel had such a beautiful senior who was good at dancing."

Several people walked into the set, and Cao Yu happened to see the actor Zhao Ke, who played Xiao Qiao.

He wasn't on the set originally. He heard that Feiyu's boss Cao was here and originally wanted to come over to try to improve relations. However, as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard someone saying that he was making it up, and he immediately became unhappy.

"It turns out to be screenwriter Su."

But Liu Ruyu seems to be more interesting than now.

However, he also understood that if Boss Cao could send this girl here, he must have an unusual status in the company, and he could not treat her like ordinary new actresses.

Cao Yu smiled noncommittally and asked: "The screenwriter of this drama is Zhu Sujin, right?"

"Haha. It's indeed not official history. How about adding a Gatling to the script and having a sudden meal? Wouldn't it be more fun?"

Cao Yu sarcastically said, "You are providing creative materials to our UP master of Fei Ge Video. Screenwriter Su, you are a good person in this regard."

Boss Cao's words were extremely rude and sarcastic. If it had been anyone else, he would have been angry.

But this is Boss Cao, and what they said is right, this is a mistake in itself.

Director Gao Xixi and others heard the commotion here and gathered around, intending to give some advice.

"Mr. Cao, we are all our own people, don't be angry, we will change the script, and we will change it now."

Producer Yang didn't expect that things would turn out like this, so he hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Screenwriter Su, what Mr. Cao said actually makes some sense."

"Change? How to change? The filming is almost finished. Besides, if Xiao Qiao doesn't come to the military camp, how will the subsequent plot be completed? Who will save Zhuge Liang in the Seven Star Altar?"

Screenwriter Su also felt that there was nothing wrong with his script.

But as soon as he said this, even director Gao Xixi felt embarrassed.

Does Zhuge Liang need Xiao Qiao to save him?
Not only did you write Zhuge Liang as a frustrated little daughter-in-law, forget it, but you also made Kong Ming lose the self-confidence and momentum of being able to freely and exhaustively plan. Now, even if he wants to escape Soochow, Xiao Qiao needs to be rescued?
Is Xiao Qiao also a part of Zhuge Liang's plan?
When he was filming this section two days ago, he felt something was wrong, but screenwriter Zhu was so famous that he didn't allow him to change the script casually, so he had to film it as it was.

Now it seems that Boss Cao is still awesome, and he directly confronts the old man.

Producer Yang also began to understand at this time that Boss Cao didn't want to invest before, probably because he didn't like screenwriter Su's script.

He smoothed things over again and said: "Mr. Cao, actually Screenwriter Su designed it this way to make the story different from the old version of the Three Kingdoms. However, since Mr. Cao proposed it, I don't think it's appropriate. If it's just a complete change, it will cost a lot of money." "

"Another screenwriter who dares to write a script without having read the original work."

Cao Yu complained in his heart and said with a smile: "Not enough money, right? How much will it cost to correct those unreasonable things? Is 50 million enough? "A Dream of Red Mansions" premiered last night. Don't let this drama go by him. ’s footsteps.”

"Fifty million?"

Everyone present looked at Boss Cao, who seemed to be glowing with golden light.

It’s 50 million in one move, and Boss Cao is so generous!

The investment in this drama was only over 100 million, and Boss Cao suddenly increased the investment by 50 million?
Li Yan's eyes were shining when he saw it. Zhao Ke and Xiao Qiao even admired this legendary junior.

Cao Yu plans to invest, on the one hand, to allow Li Di to bring capital into the group, and on the other hand, there are too many principled errors in "New Three Kingdoms".

Not to mention the funny lines, the plot is regarded as a conspiracy. The leaders and subordinates in the whole drama are suspicious of each other. The heart-to-heart relationship between the monarch and his ministers and the trust in employment in the original work are completely missing. The Three Kingdoms was directly made into a palace battle drama, and the charm of a historical drama was lost. It's heavy and doesn't deserve the word "Three Kingdoms"!
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is about praising the spirit of heroes, right?

A few stars twinkle in the sky of history, and a heroic spirit is galloping in the world.

But you, screenwriter Su, let these people engage in conspiracy? What's the intention?
The characters of the Three Kingdoms have been changed. After such a TV broadcast, the audience will feel that the Three Kingdoms may be like this, which will mislead young people.

Moreover, the two dramas written by screenwriter Zhu and director Li Shaohong were so good that they directly caused the radio and television to make a sweeping decision a few years later and announced a ban on remakes of the Four Great Classics.

Although Li Shaohong's "A Dream of Red Mansions" is terrible, at least I read it according to the book, but you are completely making it up.

This is also the reason why Cao Yu was unwilling to invest a year ago, but now he invested 50 million in one go.

"Even if you have money, you can't modify my script!"

When Zhu Sujin saw this situation, he was completely angry. Although you, Boss Cao, paid for it, this is a slap in my face.

"cannot?"

Cao Yu turned around and said to Producer Yang: "Mr. Yang, do you think it's possible?"

"This"

Producer Yang looked at Cao Yu and then at Zhu Sujin, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Yes, of course I can. It is our honor to have you, the Oscar-winning screenwriter, change the script."

"Bah bang bang." Screenwriter Zhu felt his face being hit so hot that it hurt.

"Haha, Mr. Yang, if we don't have enough money, we can add more. The drama must be filmed well."

Cao Yu made a grand promise, and then said: "You will reshoot Sun Shangxiang's scenes first, and then give me a copy of the script. If I am not busy these days, I will change it and have it sent over."

"Then thank you for your hard work, Mr. Cao."

Producer Yang was very happy. Boss Cao personally helped change the script. What could be more awesome than this publicity stunt?

This alone is worth more than 100 million?

Screenwriter Zhu, I can only apologize.

After someone put the script in the car, Cao Yu planned to say goodbye and leave.

"Mr. Cao, I hope to give you some advice when you have time."

Boss Cao is now considered a financial sponsor, and the producer and director enthusiastically put Boss Cao in the car.

In the distance, Li Di watched his boss leaving, and suddenly felt empty in his heart, as if he was missing something to rely on.

The car drove on the highway to Jinling. Cao Yu sat in the car and opened the script outline.

He first found the part about cooking wine and discussing heroes, and deleted all of Cao Cao's words explaining who the hero was.

It’s not like the audience doesn’t understand and needs you to explain for a long time?
Then, the shocking plots such as Xiao Qiao entering the military camp to dance swordsmanship, Zhuge Liang crying after being bullied, and setting fire to the house after visiting the thatched cottage were all changed.

It was not far from Wuxi to Jinling. Cao Yu had just finished changing the part where Guan Yu had to pose before he died, and the car had already arrived at the hotel he had made an appointment with Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou is coming to Jinling to cast actors for a new movie. This matter has not been made public, but some art schools have been notified in advance and have begun to prepare for Zhang Yimou and Boss Cao to select actors.

This film not only had to cast Thirteen Hairpins, but also thirteen young actresses and one young actor.

"Director Zhang, what are your plans for selecting actors this time?"

"We divided our forces into two groups. Let my assistant director go to primary and secondary schools to select fourteen children, and the two of us went to major art schools to select thirteen girls."

As Zhang Yimou was talking, he suddenly remembered something and asked his assistant: "What school did the girl with milk tea last time come from?"

"It seems to be from Jinling Foreign Language School. It is said to be the best middle school in Jinling."

"Oh?"

Zhang Yimou was very impressed by the beautiful girl holding milk tea in her hand. After all, it was almost rare for a girl to refuse his invitation.

"Xiao Cao, why don't we go to a foreign language school first? The young actors in this film should all speak fluent English. While we are looking for this milk tea girl, we can also see if there are any suitable children."

"it is good."

Cao Yu was also curious about this legendary girl who was both beautiful and intelligent.

Jinling Foreign Language School.

Zhang Zetian is studying hard.

Ever since her photos went viral on the Internet, people have been harassing her. Even the director of the Olympic opening ceremony sent someone to come, which made her tireless and delayed her studies.

Now she can only make up for the lost learning through hard work.

What makes this school the best middle school in Jinling? The students who graduate from here are basically 985 and 211, and her current goal has been set at Yan University or Shuimu University.

"Xiaotian, the teacher asked you to go to the principal's office."

Zhang Zetian was wandering in his studies when he suddenly heard a classmate calling him.

"The principal's office? Is someone coming to harass you again?"

Zhang Zetian was a little speechless. She was annoyed by the endless endorsement invitations some time ago: "Please tell the teacher, if it has nothing to do with study! I won't go!"

"Don't go?"

"Don't go!"

"Okay, Xiaotian, you are awesome!"

The classmate stretched out his thumb and then ran to the class teacher's office to send a message.

In the principal's office, Zhang Yimou was talking to the school leaders about the purpose of his visit.

"The actors we choose this time not only need to be able to speak Jinling dialect, but also need to be fluent in spoken English. Students from your school are actually the most suitable."

"Thank you, Director Zhang, for taking our school so seriously."

The principal said politely, and then said: "But the students in our school attach great importance to learning, and they may not be interested in acting or anything."

Originally it was just a polite word, but just then Zhang Zetian's class teacher walked in: "Principal, Zhang Zetian said that if it has nothing to do with study, she doesn't want to come."

"Look."

The principal was immediately flattered because the famous alumni of his school were either diplomats or counselors abroad.

actor? Not yet, but not interested either.

However, Boss Cao is a famous entrepreneur and Director Zhang is still a national teacher, so he still has to give him face.

"Director Zhang, forget it and don't disturb this child's study."

Although Cao Yu is curious about the milk tea sister, since the girl said so, don't disturb her peaceful life.

"Come here, let's go and ask in person. If she really doesn't want to, forget it."

Zhang Yimou stood up and said to the principal and class teacher: "Can we go to the classroom and have a look?"

"Okay, now it's time to rest."

The principal couldn't refuse, so he took Zhang Yimou and Cao Yu to the classroom of the third year of high school.

Zhang Zetian was immersed in doing simulation questions when he suddenly heard a commotion outside, and then a group of people walked in, including the principal and the head teacher.

In addition, among the crowd, there are two figures seen on TV and online.

"Director Zhang Yimou? Feiyu's boss Cao? Are they here to find me?"

Seeing these two people, Zhang Zetian recognized them immediately.

She was a little stunned: "Boss Cao is actually younger and more handsome than in the photo!"

A few months ago, director Zhang Yimou and a talent scout from Feiyu Entertainment came once, but he was rejected because he didn't want to affect his studies.

I didn’t expect these two powerful people to come in person!

Following Zhang Zetian's gaze, a group of people came to her table: "Director Zhang, Mr. Cao, this is that classmate Zhang Zetian."

Although Zhang Zetian was wearing a school uniform, he still couldn't hide his beautiful and pure appearance.

"It's really beautiful, Brother Dong doesn't know about it? I don't believe it."

Cao Yu said softly in his heart and said with a smile: "Classmate Zhang, I am Cao Yu from Feiyu Entertainment, and this is director Zhang Yimou. We have a film to cast actors in Jinling. If you are interested, you can try try."

"really."

Zhang Zetian calmed down. Although she is also a fan of Cao Yu, she really doesn't want to be an actor: "I'm sorry, Mr. Cao, Director Zhang, I have to take the college entrance examination next year and really don't have time."

Although he looks sweet, he looks a little cold.

"Director Zhang, Mr. Cao, I'm really sorry to make your trip go to waste."

Although the principal was very happy that this student focused on his studies, he quickly apologized to Cao Yu and the two.

"It is right to study hard."

Cao Yu nodded to the principal and said to Zhang Yimou: "Director Zhang, let's go then."

"Hey, if this girl goes to act in the next "Hawthorn Tree Love", not only will she be a topic, but she will also be quite suitable with her appearance."

Zhang Yimou looked at Zhang Zetian, felt sorry in his heart, and nodded: "Let's go."

Just as the group was about to leave, Zhang Zetian suddenly stood up and said, "Mr. Cao Cao, when I graduate from college, can I join your company?"

"?"

These sudden words made everyone turn around.

Could it be that this girl is looking at the future, not the present?

If Boss Cao's company goes public, it will be the company of the richest man. This girl has lofty goals.

"Can."

Cao Yu smiled kindly at the girl, then waved to the little girl, and left the classroom with Zhang Yimou and others.

"So handsome! So warm!"

Just after everyone left, Zhang Zetian, who was still a high school student, finally couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. He raised his fist and put it next to his cheek, acting like a female fan who was excited to see her idol.
