China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 541 Chapter 539. A song that makes the whole country cry
In the early morning of February 3rd, Chinese time, a piece of news spread in China.

The film "Slumdog Millionaire" written by Cao Yu received a total of ten Oscar nominations. In addition, "Avatar", which he invested and co-wrote, also received nine nominations.

Among them, the four awards of Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score, and Best Sound Effects are all related to Boss Cao.

When this news came out, Chinese film industry was shaken again.

Last year, Cao Yu won an Oscar, and this time he was nominated for four consecutive awards. It seems that he should win at least one more Oscar.

This is the pride of the Chinese entertainment industry.

The three major platforms of newspapers, television and the Internet immediately reported on the incident.

Nortel even put up huge posters, and Boss Cao's reputation soared again.

While the media was blocking the entrance of Feiyu Entertainment and Feiyu Group, Cao Yu was preparing to go to the Spring Festival Gala.

"elder brother."

"You're welcome, keep working hard in the future."

"The more, the merrier."

Cao Yu knew that he was probably talking about the movie "Laughing Out Loud" which had a rating of less than 5. Although this movie had an average rating, it was barely watchable as a Tu Yile movie.

"Thank you, brother."

Although Cao Yu is very confident about the song he has thought of, he does not dare to confirm so early whether he will be able to perform in the Spring Festival Gala.

"I don't know yet, but I have an idea to make a comedy movie and I'm looking for a screenwriter. If Boss Cao is interested, can we collaborate?"

"You might as well call me Brother Yudi"

The Spring Festival Gala is currently being rehearsed, and there are many reporters at the entrance of the Yangma Building.

"Practice your acting skills well and I'll arrange a good role for you this year."

In the backstage studio of the Spring Festival Gala, today's rehearsal has not officially started yet. Director Jin Yue and a group of staff are coordinating the dance, lighting and other matters.

"Boss Cao, after you finish your work, come to my room and sit down."

"understood."

The busy people in the Yangma Building greeted Boss Cao warmly when they saw him.

"I'm here to discuss cooperation."

Cao Yu smiled, knowing that this was the last time Uncle Benshan would attend the Spring Festival Gala, and asked: "What plans does Uncle Benshan have this year?"

As soon as Cao Yu got out of the car, the reporters around him were stunned for a moment when they saw Boss Cao actually appearing here, and then they all swarmed around him.

For a big shot like Uncle Benshan, Yang Ma naturally arranged for a separate rest room.

Mainly, the movie made money.

In addition to cooperating in movies, he is actually also thinking about putting "Country Love" on Feigoose Video. This TV series happened to be filming its third part this year. It has not yet finished and the audience is still quite large.

Cao Yu pinched Nazha's cheek and said with a smile: "You performed well last night, but it's just because of me. Don't show it off everywhere, do you hear me?"

Boss Cao is not only rich, but also talented. He has been nominated for four Oscars this year. Everyone knows that there is no harm in showing favor to this entertainment industry boss.

Cao Yu had great respect for this artist who was born as a farmer. He shook hands and said, "Hello, Uncle Benshan. You seem to be in good spirits."

Uncle Benshan, who has been attending the Spring Festival Gala for many years, saw Boss Cao coming and came over with a smile and a cup of tea.

"Mr. Cao, congratulations."

"Okay, let's chat together when we have time."

"Mr. Cao, did you come to the CCTV Building today to discuss cooperation or have other matters? Can you tell me something?"

"I'm old, I can hardly act anymore."

Nazha, who had transformed from a little girl into a young woman, helped Cao Yu arrange his clothes and gave a sweet cry.

Cao Yu also smiled and nodded without any pretense. He was an approachable person.

"Mr. Cao, I heard that your company has several movies to be released this year. What is the box office plan for this year?"

"Mr. Cao, I heard that the movie you wrote has been nominated for more than a dozen Oscars. Are you confident that you will win another Oscar this year?"

Facing the crowd of reporters, Cao Yu smiled and said: "The Oscar voting has just begun. I'm not sure whether I can win. As for the competitor, it should be "The Hurt Locker."

After making an appointment with Uncle Benshan, Cao Yu went to the studio.

Naza nodded obediently and quietly suppressed the idea of ​​showing off in front of Reba.

Cao Yu agreed: "No problem."

Cao Yu patted his butt twice and rushed to Yangma Building.

"Mr. Cao, which movie do you think is your biggest competitor this year?"

After finally getting rid of these reporters, Cao Yu walked into the CCTV building under the protection of Pang Yuan.

"You are not old at all."

"Boss Cao, you are really in high spirits during happy events."

"Mr. Cao, hello."

"Mr. Cao, welcome to the Spring Festival Gala. Please take a seat."

Seeing that Boss Cao was really here, Jin Yue quickly reached out her hand.

"Director Jin, hello."

After exchanging pleasantries, Cao Yu asked, "I wonder what kind of song Director Jin wants?"

"Mr. Cao, your song "Young China" is already a must-play song in small courtyards across the country. How about you sing this one instead?"

"This song has been out for almost two years, and there is nothing new in singing it again."

Unexpectedly, Cao Yu shook his head and said, "After I received a call from Yan Ni last night, I thought about it for a long time and wrote a song on the spur of the moment. How about I sing it first and Director Jin can listen to it first?"

"Written temporarily?"

The golden moon is stagnant, and on a stage as big as the Spring Festival Gala, in front of an audience of more than one billion people, you use improvised songs to cope with me?
Others on the side also shook their heads, feeling that Boss Cao had no intention of going to the Spring Festival Gala at all?
If you don't want to come, just say so. There's no need to fool around like this, right?

Although the appearance fee for our Spring Festival Gala may not be enough for you to eat a meal, it is the largest stage in the country.
Facing everyone's doubts and strange looks, Cao Yu smiled and said: "I think this song is pretty good. I'll sing it first. If everyone is not satisfied, we can discuss it again." "Okay."

If others had said this, Jin Yue would have kicked him out a long time ago, but the person in front of him was Boss Cao, whom he had finally invited, and he had to give him face.

"Got a guitar?"

Cao Yu doesn't know many musical instruments, but the guitar is the one he's most familiar with.

"Have."

Jin Yue immediately asked someone to prepare a guitar.

Cao Yu took it in his hand, flicked it gently, and said with a smile: "I'm singing on the stage. I need to find out the feeling first and help dim the lights. It's best to use a soft light."

"can."

Jin Yue didn't expect that Cao Yu had a lot of requirements, but he was indeed very professional.

Carrying his guitar, Cao Yu came to this stage that attracts the attention of the whole country every year, and asked the staff for a stool. After sitting down, he closed his eyes and began to brew.

In the audience, everyone looked at Cao Yu's appearance, and several people shook their heads.

Although you are quite talented, you don’t pay much attention to the Spring Festival Gala.

The producers regretted recommending Cao Yu in the first place and said to Jin Yue: "Director Jin, what do you think?"

"Listen first and then talk. If it doesn't work, let Wang Fei come in and record and broadcast."

Jin Yue said and sighed: "Hey, Boss Cao, is he only thinking about making money now?"

……

While the two were talking, the guitar sounded softly on the stage.

There was no other accompaniment, only Cao Yu sitting on the stool, playing with a serious expression.

But just the prelude made Jin Yue and others stop talking and all looked at Cao Yu in surprise.

The melody of the prelude is very gentle, like a trickle, slowly flowing into everyone's hearts.

"The prelude is good."

Jin Yue said in her heart and nodded lightly.

Next, the guitar sound paused for a moment, and as soon as Cao Yu opened his mouth, everyone's hearts seemed to be touched by something...

The old tree in front of the door grows new buds

The dead trees in the yard are blooming again

Half-survival, a lot of words

Hidden in a head of white hair

Little feet in memory

Meaty little mouth

Give him your love all your life
Just for the sound of "Mom and Dad"

……

Amidst the faint singing of the guitar, everyone heard Cao Yu's clear voice, which seemed to be sung from the heart.

Suddenly, Jin Yue and the others couldn't help but think of their parents, who were getting older day by day and had gray hair. Their noses were a little sore and their eyes couldn't help but feel moist.

He tried his best to take a breath, but when the words "Mom and Dad" came out of Cao Yu's mouth, his tears couldn't help but well up, and he even turned his head hastily for fear of being seen.

The others were not much better either. Several people stood up and walked to the side, quietly wiping the tears from their eyes.
The son wants to raise and kisses!

Filial piety is a virtue that has been passed down in China for thousands of years and is something engraved in the genes.

And Cao Yu's singing seems to have a kind of life perception that is somewhat inconsistent with his age. With his extremely contagious voice, he interprets all this kind of love for his parents. How can it not be moving?
Cao Yu's singing slowly floated around the scene. Many people heard the sound and came to the scene. They looked at the young man singing alone on the stage and listened quietly...

where did all the time go

Not enjoyed young age good enough before turning old
Give birth to a son and raise a daughter for a lifetime
All I can think about is children crying and laughing.

where did all the time go

Your eyes are blurry before I even take a good look at them
Half a lifetime of daily necessities

In the blink of an eye, all that's left is the wrinkles on his face
……

When the last line of the song slowly fell and the lights came on, Cao Yu did not get up immediately. He endured the same sore nose and sat there to calm down.

This is a song that makes people across the country cry. He has been moved by it before. This time he sang it himself. He also thought of his parents getting older before he was reborn, and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa"

After a while, no one in the studio applauded first, and then everyone burst into applause in unison.

"Songs are born from the heart. Boss Cao is a person you can make friends with!"

Uncle Benshan was also in the crowd. After listening to the song with red eyes, this sentence came out of his mouth.

The producer on the side didn't care that he was slapped in the face, and also praised: "I just heard that this song was only written in one night, and I was worried that it would be ordinary, but I didn't expect that it would be so touching..."

"The song is good and he can sing well. I will have a chance to make a singing appointment with him in the future."

Even after listening to this song, Wang Fei's original unhappiness that the program could not even be recorded and broadcast disappeared.

On the stage, Cao Yu calmed down for a moment, then stood up and walked towards director Jin Yue.

He noticed that the eyes of everyone present were a little red, and they must have been sung to tears just now.

"CEO Cao."

Jin Yue sniffed, adjusted her mood, and said to Cao Yu: "You are indeed a talented person in the entertainment industry. You can write a song and make me sing it... Haha... It's funny..."

He shook his head and smiled awkwardly, rubbed his nose again, and continued with slightly red eyes: "As long as you can sing this song on the Spring Festival Gala, just ask if you have any requests."

After finishing speaking, before Cao Yu could answer, Director Jin Yue suddenly asked: "Mr. Cao, what is the name of this song?"
