China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 516 514. Trapping Han Dong, the fight for the number one beauty among the thirteen girls (two in one)

When he came to the company the next day, Cao Yu first wrote the song "Master, I Can't Hold On Anymore" and then called Zhang Liangying, who is now in charge of the song department.

"Immediately send someone to the Shaolin Temple to talk to them about cooperating in the MV for this song. Then make an arrangement and let Feiyang Boys and others sing it, and then send the song to the Spring Festival Gala program team."

"Okay, boss."

Although the two have a close relationship, Zhang Liangying is still called Boss Cao Yu in the company.

He took the piece and took a look at it, then asked: "Invitations to the New Year's Eve parties from various local stations this year have come. Do you want to take a look?"

"Just look at the arrangements, I believe you."

Cao Yu said, thinking of EXO, and added: "By the way, tell Mango Channel that I will lead a new idol boy group this year and let him arrange a prime time."

"I see."

Zhang Liangying nodded, then walked to Cao Yu and gently hooked her arm around the man's neck: "My dear, you have only been with me once since you came back this time. Are you free tonight? I've thought about it."

Moreover, Boss Cao mentioned his talent twice, which made her feel like she had met Bole.

At this time, Cao Yu turned around and hooked her waist: "My dolphin queen, I can take you with me next time I go to Shaolin Temple to shoot the MV."

This girl with two dimples has great potential in the future. It is also a kind of exercise for her to arrange "Charlotte Troubles" into a drama.

"I applied, but I don't know if I will be selected."

Now this talented woman is still a little transparent in the entertainment industry. She has only made a small investment movie with no splash, and has no fame at all.

Ren Suxi knew that she was not very beautiful and was inconspicuous in this entertainment circle filled with beauties, but she didn't expect that she would be designated as the heroine by Boss Cao?
Cao Yu looked at her: "Don't worry, thank you, I just have a request."

Zhang Liangying's mood immediately changed from cloudy to clear, and she kissed Cao Yu on the face.

"It's okay. It just opened and the attendance rate is not too high."

"Jia Ling, I didn't go to the New Laughter Inn last time it opened. How was it?"

Cao Yu said and looked at Ren Suxi aside.

"Require."

The girl in front of me is considered a late bloomer, ten years is too short, fifteen years is about the same.

"Haha, I feel like you are the same."

"It turns out you want to sign me..."

"I heard that you are all from the Chinese Theater Company. The Chinese Theater students are very good, and there are quite a few of them in our company."

"Thank you, Mr. Cao, I will definitely work hard!"

"Don't be too anxious, it will be fine."

"I can invest in filming your script, but next year's plan is already full. If you agree, the company can adapt this script into a drama first, and then turn it into a film and television the year after next."

"Mr. Cao, it's about the script."

Cao Yu said and took out the script of "Charlotte Troubles": "Go back and rehearse this story into a drama and try to perform it a few times. Also, have you signed up for the Spring Festival Gala this year?"

"Let them come up."

But I heard that Boss Cao’s girlfriend is a fairy sister...

Boss Cao's secretary on the side was a little surprised. Isn't this girl very good? Besides, aren't there any beauties in the company? Do you have to let her act?

"Oh"

"Don't lie!"

As for appearing on the Spring Festival Gala, it is the dream of most artists, and Jia Ling is no exception.

Cao Yu saw Ren Suxi's eyes flickering as if he was hesitating, so he smiled and said: "Haha, I value your talent very much and plan to let you sign a contract with our company, but this contract will take fifteen years, can you accept it? "

When Ren Suxi heard this request, she realized that she was overthinking it, and immediately blurted out: "I accept!"

The company is not only very large, but also full of beauties. As the boss, Mr. Cao is so happy.

After arranging these, Cao Yu found out the script of "Gravity" and was about to go to China Film Studio. When his secretary came in and said that there were three people looking for him downstairs, one of them was Zhou Shen.

In the current entertainment industry, if you can join Feiyu Entertainment, your career will be half successful. Let alone fifteen years, Ren Suxi would be willing to do it for a little longer.

Seeing that this woman was a little restrained, Cao Yu continued to smile and said: "I have seen the movie you made before. Your acting skills are very good, and I heard from your classmates that you are also very talented. If the story of "Donkey Gets Water" is In the film and television version, I plan to make you the heroine."

After Zhang Liangying left, Cao Yu wiped off the lipstick marks on his face and called Jia Ling again to ask her to come over.

Zhang Liangying could only nod in disappointment.

"Then it's settled. I'll buy the copyright of your script. If you like, you can all practice at our new Laughter Inn for a while."

Recalling that my classmates also said before, it was the legendary Mr. Cao who wanted to see me by name. Now it seems that he...

After a while, a man and two women came to the reception room. One of them was Ren Suxi, who had just graduated two years ago.

Ren Suxi suddenly became a little nervous. Although she was a little transparent in the entertainment industry, she also knew the unspoken rules.

Cao Yu nodded. He probably remembered that Jia Ling started attending the Spring Festival Gala in the past two years, and she began to gain some fame from then on.

"I'm going to Jinling this afternoon. I'll come back next time."

When Zhou Shen came up, he had already seen the strength of Feiyu Entertainment.

After Cao Yu finished speaking, he turned to his secretary and said, "You take them to sign the contract, and then arrange to go to Jia Ling's theater. I'll leave first if I have something else to do."

"Thank you, Mr. Cao!"

When the three heard that they could join Feiyu, they all stood up, and a bright road to success seemed to appear in front of them.

After leaving the company, Cao Yu called Zhang Yimou, made an appointment to meet at the airport in the afternoon, and then headed to China Film.

"Okay, great script!"

In the China Film Office, Han Sanping read the script of "Gravity" and was very impressed: "He deserves to be the best screenwriter at the Oscar. If this film can be made, China may really win a real Oscar!"

Although the plot of the story is simple, it can whet the audience's appetite at the most desperate moments.

Han Sanping even felt that whether it was Chen Kaige's "The Promise" or Lu Chuan's "Jinling!" Jinling! ", in front of Cao Yu's script, he is not even worthy of carrying his shoes.

It seems that we will continue to cooperate with Xiao Cao in the future. This guy is so talented.

"Xiao Cao, how much investment do you plan to need to make your film?"

Han Sanping couldn't put it down and closed the script and asked the most critical question. After all, this is a science fiction film, and special effects are the most expensive.

Cao Yu made some calculations in his mind and quoted a price: "One billion to 1.2 billion!"

"hiss"

Hearing this investment amount, Han Sanping couldn't help but take a breath.

Even if Chinese films like to invest heavily in the past two years, such as "The Night Banquet", "Red Cliff", and "The Thirteen Hairpins" that Feiyu is casting during this period, the investment is not small.

But there are currently no movies worth over one billion dollars in China.

One billion is not a small number. Although this script is good, if it is not filmed well and if we lose money, even if we are the chairman, it will be difficult to explain.

"If Director Han is worried, China Film Group can give it 200 million and the rest will belong to Feiyu Entertainment. How about that?"

"Haha, what do you mean by this? Are you looking down on us, China Film Academy?"

Han Sanping saw that this little guy was deliberately irritating him, but he was not angry. He smiled and said, "Let's do this. China Film and you will invest 500 million each. If it's not enough, how about finding other companies to get more?"

"can."

Cao Yu doesn't mind either. This film has a global box office of over 700 million U.S. dollars, and James Cameron is invited to be the special effects director. Will it be a loss?
More importantly, when the film special effects will be done in the digital field, you will make your own money, and the left pocket will go out, and the right pocket will go in. The main thing is not to suffer.

"Okay, let's start preparations next year. How long do we plan to shoot?"

"Including the later period, two to three years."

"so long?"

Han Sanping was almost anxious. Now that the entertainment industry is investing in a movie, who doesn't want to recover the cost as soon as possible?

If it's one to two hundred million, maybe it doesn't matter, but with an investment of 500 million for this drama, we still have to wait for more than two years?
"Director Han, think about Avatar and Titanic. These two films took more than three years. Then think about our "Journey to the West". As long as we put in the hard work, we can't rush for quick success. We are all for the Oscar."

"What you said makes sense."

Han Sanping hesitated for a moment, then slapped the table: "Okay, you're not afraid, and China Film Academy is not afraid either!"

Although the investment is huge and the wait is so long, if this film is really good, I can be considered a member of China's film history.

Besides, Boss Cao is not afraid of time. Am I not as good as you?

"Then it's settled."

Cao Yu was very satisfied with Han Sanping. At least during the filming of "Gravity", no one in the entertainment industry would dare to do anything to him.

After leaving Zhongying, Cao Yu went directly to the airport.

"Director Zhang, I have slightly changed the script of "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling". You can see if it works."

On the plane flying to Hangzhou, Cao Yu handed Zhang Yimou a slightly modified script.

The original script included an emotional scene between Yu Mo and the foreigner Miller. Cao Yu felt that this section was completely superfluous, so he deleted it directly.

Although the male protagonist did want to get Yu Mo at the beginning, and he also had the image of a selfish and dissolute foreigner, but later because of Yu Mo's spirit of sacrifice and the cruelty of the Japanese, he came to admire this woman and finally decided to help those female students and complete the task. Transformed.

There is absolutely no need to add this unnecessary ambiguity.

This emotional scene is the film's downfall, and completely deleting it will make the film's concept more perfect.

"This film mainly embodies a touch of pink in war. It's really better if you change it like this."

After reading the new script, Zhang Yimou looked at the fellow villagers with admiration and asked, "Do you have a candidate for that soldier, Instructor Li?"

"Let Zhang Yi from our company play the role. He has acted in "Soldier Assault" before and has the temperament of a soldier."

"Well, this guy is nice."

Zhang Yimou nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that as long as the Thirteen Chai people are selected, we can prepare for the start of filming." Not far from Xiangshan Film and Television City, there is a very inconspicuous school.

This was originally a technical school that was about to close down, but now it has become a place where Feiyu Entertainment trains actors.

"I'm almost exhausted."

A group of girls finished training all morning, and they all lay on the bed exhausted, not wanting to move.

They originally thought that the training was just about practicing acting skills, lines, and body shape. They didn't expect that in addition to these, they also had to learn English, Pingtan, dance, and calligraphy. They were exhausted every day.

"When will it end? We have been locked up here for almost two months, and our mobile phones have been confiscated."

"Yeah, why do you need to collect your cell phone? We won't reveal anything."

"I haven't contacted my family for a long time."

Several girls were lying on the bed and couldn't help but start complaining.

"Okay, stop talking and take a rest. We have to train in the afternoon."

Ni Ni was also very tired and just wanted to have a good rest.

As for her cell phone being confiscated, she was actually more depressed.

I originally added Boss Cao's WeChat account, thinking that I could take some private photos of myself for him and have the opportunity to chat with Boss Cao about life, but as a result, there was no chance of this plan being implemented.

The roommate lay on the bed, rubbed his legs, and asked: "Ni Ni, are you working so hard? What do you think your chances are of getting the leading female role?"

"I have no idea."

There were thirty girls selected this time, three of whom were trained as female leads.

After two months of training, his biggest competitor is Li Chun, who is also an artist signed by Feiyu.

But Li Chun is a student from Nortel, with a bachelor's degree, better acting skills than her, and good looks. She currently has no advantage at all and is very worried about losing the election.

A few people had just rested for less than ten minutes when a teacher in charge of daily life walked in.

"I want to inform you that I just received a call. In the afternoon, the producers, Mr. Cao and Director Zhang, will come to the school to inspect your training and conduct your first assessment. You must be mentally prepared."

"Mr. Cao and Director Zhang are coming for the assessment?"

After hearing the teacher's words, all four girls sat up.

Although it is said to be the first round of assessment, everyone knows that this is the key to whether they can enter the entertainment industry.

"If I get eliminated"

Ni Ni sat in front of the mirror, looking at her face, putting on makeup and thinking: "How can I perform that kind of charming look? Is it because I am still..."

My performance in recent training has been good in all aspects, but the charming charm that a singing girl should have in me seems not to be as good as Li Chun, and my acting skills are also slightly inferior.
The dormitory next door.

"Li Chun, come on, I think you are the most likely to be the female lead!"

Several girls living here were also notified, and they smiled at Li Chun and said, "If you become the number one female lead, you will also take care of us. At least we have lived together for two months."

"Let's wait until it's settled. Ni Ni can't be underestimated either."

Although Li Chun sounds modest, he is actually very confident in himself. After all, the advantage lies with me.

He is a graduate of the Nortel Acting Department, and he was an actor selected by Mr. Cao in school. Based on this fact, as long as nothing unexpected happens, the role of Yu Mo should belong to him.

In the afternoon, Cao Yu and Zhang Yimou finally arrived at school.

"Divide the thirty girls into five groups and let everyone walk through it first."

Zhang Yimou also works vigorously and resolutely. As soon as he arrived here, he wanted to see the training of these girls.

"Okay Director Zhang."

The teacher agreed and ordered the thirty girls to be divided into groups and let them come in one by one.

During the music, six girls wearing cheongsam, twisting their enchanting figures, walked towards Cao Yu and Zhang Yimou from the other end of the classroom.

"It's really good."

Cao Yu felt like he had gone back to seventy or eighty years ago, but after two months of training, these girls had indeed made great progress, and they really felt a little like a prostitute.

The first group of girls walked back and forth, Cao Yu just watched quietly, while Zhang Yimou, as the director, carefully scored each girl.

The second group came in, and Li Chun was among them.

At this time, Li Chun had a wavy haircut, slender eyebrows, and springy eyes. She had a beautiful appearance and an outstanding figure. Not only did she walk with a swaying posture, but her every frown and smile were full of sultry charm.

Zhang Yimou gave Li Chun's form an eight-point score, then smiled at Cao Yu and said, "Xiao Cao, the girl you recommended is really good."

"Are there any bad artists in our company?"

Cao Yu smiled and nodded. It seems that the role of Si Lili in "Celebrating More Than Years" which will start filming next year must be hers.

Outside the window, other girls were watching the performances of others in the classroom.

But Ni Ni was paying attention to the expressions of Cao Yu and Zhang Yimou. Seeing them nodding to Li Chun, the pressure in her heart suddenly increased.

"It's our turn."

The third and fourth groups finished their presentations quickly. Ni Ni took a deep breath and walked into the classroom with the other five people.

These girls all have similar hairstyles, basically wavy long hair that falls over their shoulders. The cheongsams are all tailor-made to perfectly show off each person's figure.

Ni Ni looked at the two people more than ten meters away and knew that they were the two people who could decide his future destiny.

"go!"

Under the teacher's voice, six girls of different shapes showed their most beautiful and charming sides as much as possible.

"You rejected me last time. After this period of training, I don't know if I can shock you."

Ni Ni relaxed as much as possible, raised her head, puffed out her chest, stepped on high heels, and tried her best to bring out all the things the teacher taught her, while at the same time giving Cao Yu a wink.

"This girl Ni Ni has made great progress."

Cao Yu had swum in strong winds and waves, how could he be shocked by this girl, but he recognized Ni Ni's change in his heart.

The six girls walked to Cao and Zhang's table, turned around gracefully, then looked back and smiled at the same time, and continued walking towards the opposite side.

“The twisting is okay”

Cao Yu's eyes were on Ni Ni's hips. Sure enough, the cheongsam can show off a girl's figure very well.

After the girls finished showing off, he looked at Zhang Yimou: "How?"

"good."

Zhang Yimou said, and wrote the word "seven" after Ni Ni's name.

Cao Yu asked curiously: "How come Ni Ni only scored seven points? I think it's okay."

"There's nothing wrong with my figure or anything else, but the flirtatious look in my eyes is a bit artificial and lacks a bit of feeling and charm."

"Director Zhang, you are still great."

Cao Yu had to admire Zhang Yimou's vicious eyes. Lao Mouzi was Lao Mouzi, and he could see Ni Ni's shortcomings at a glance.

"But it's not bad. After all, she only trained for two months and can be used as a key training target. I hope she will do better in the second round of assessment."

After Zhang Yimou finished speaking, he asked the teacher to call all thirty girls in.

"You all performed well, but our play only requires fourteen people. After the first round of assessment, we must eliminate eight people, and the remaining twenty-two will continue to train for three days, and then undergo the second round of assessment. "

After announcing this somewhat cruel result, Zhang Yimou added: "I'll give you half a day off today. However, if anyone dares to spread the word about what happened here, the crew will hold her legally responsible."

When this group of girls heard that eight people were going to be eliminated, many of them looked sad.

Ni Ni knew that she had performed well just now and would definitely not be eliminated this time, but she was not sure who the female lead would be.

Zhang Yimou handed the score sheet to the teachers and asked them to announce the eliminated candidates, and then said to Cao Yu: "Mr. Cao, do you have anything to add?"

"No."

Although Ni Ni's score was one point less than Li Chun's, he still felt that the former's chances should be great.

After all, Ni Ni is from Jinling, which gives him an advantage over Li Chun.

Zhang Yimou nodded: "Then we have to assess those female students next."

"Female student, you can make your order, and I won't read it."

Cao Yu felt that those children had nothing to see, so he planned to go back and rest for a while.

"As a producer, you are really comfortable."

Zhang Yimou smiled and complained, and then said: "Don't run away. The heroine will be selected for the assessment in three days, so you have to be there."

"Not leaving yet."

When Cao Yu came, he planned to take a few days of rest and give himself a holiday. After the second round of assessments, he would settle everything, and then go to Han Bang to arrange EXO's official debut.

Shu Qi trained dance here for a month before, and now she has returned to Taiwan. When "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" starts filming, she can recharge her batteries by herself.

On the other side, Ni Ni learned from the teacher that he only scored seven points. Although he was not eliminated, his competitor Li Chun scored eight points.

“Only three days left”

She thought about the second round of assessment three days later and didn't know what to do.

This opportunity is too rare for me. If I don't get the leading female role, even if I'm not eliminated, if I want to develop in the entertainment industry with a supporting role that doesn't have many roles, my starting point will be much lower.

She was about to go to the life teacher to collect her mobile phone, and then flirt with Mr. Cao, but suddenly she saw Mr. Cao just coming out of the classroom.

"CEO Cao."

Ni Ni remembered the experience of being rejected last time. She didn't have time to change her clothes or take her mobile phone. She yelled and chased after him wearing a cheongsam.
