China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 547 545. Li Shaohong was beaten and the Oscar judges were blinded (two in one)

On the day "Dream of Red Mansions" was aired, all kinds of compliments quickly filled the Internet.

"After three years of looking forward to it, this show is finally on the air!"

"Well done! It is worthy of being a TV series with an investment of 500 million. This is a TV series that is worthy of the four masterpieces!"

"Your service is exquisite, your acting skills and appearance are top-notch, Boss Cao, you are such a conscientious boss!"

"Jing Tian's Xue Baochai is so beautiful! She has such a face as silver as a basin, and her acting skills are so good, I love her so much!"

"The actor who plays Jia Baoyu is so handsome! I'm a fan!"

"Lin Daiyu is also beautiful, everyone is beautiful, the clothes and makeup are good, the scenery is beautiful, praise!"

"Don't talk about the protagonist, even the maids are so beautiful. Just because of this, I will chase her!"

……

Of course, in addition to praising this conscientious work, half of the comments still criticized Li Shaohong.

"Li Shaohong came out to be beaten. What's your "New Red Mansion" look like? Where did you spend all your money? Look at the way they are dressed. What does your copper coin count?"

"Compared to Feiyu's drama, Li Shaohong's version is simply eye-catching. What kind of ghost movie is it being made for?"

"Don't compare, Li Shaohong's version is not worthy!"

"It's just that there is no comparison. There should be more people like Boss Cao in the entertainment industry."

"Director Li Shaohong, you and Boss Cao study hard."

……

Dream of Red Mansions produced by Feiyu was not only shot in real locations, the snow is all real snow, the trees are real trees, the flowers are real flowers, and even the food is real.

Moreover, during the filming of this drama, the crew traveled to many famous places in China for filming. In this regard, it is incomparable to Li Shaohong's filming in the studio.

Moreover, at the request of Cao Yu for this version of Red Mansion, the crew spent most of their investment on costumes, actor training, and post-production. Every actor's outfit was carefully designed, and every prop was extremely sophisticated. .

This film was filmed for more than two years, and almost every shot was carefully polished and made perfect.

Together with Jing Tian, ​​Mao Xiaotong, Xiao Jian, Liu Shishi and other handsome guys and beauties, as well as the blessings of many veteran actors, Li Shaohong's version of the movie was completely tortured.

As for the audience, everyone loves to watch good dramas and want to watch conscience dramas, but they are tortured by perfunctory bad dramas.

This drama only aired for two episodes, and Li Shaohong was scolded again.

Some people even said that Li Shaohong should stop ruining classics and called for her version of The Red Chamber to be removed from the Internet.

"Director Li, everyone on the Internet is scolding you, and on the Fei Goose video, someone even made a comparison video between the two dramas. Do we want to say something?"

Rong Xinda and Li Xiaowan looked at the overwhelming abuse and felt that they needed to clarify something.

"What did you say? How to say it?"

Li Shaohong also watched the just-aired Dream of Red Mansions. Although he was not convinced, he had to admit the gap between the two versions: "They invested 500 million, and we only invested more than 100 million. The gap is normal, let them say it!" "

She didn't dare to come out to clarify. It was estimated that the more she spoke, the more severe she would be scolded.

Li Xiaowan was a little worried about the future of the company: "But if we don't say something, our reputation will be ruined. What will we do in the future?"

"Okay, then post on Weibo."

Li Shaohong felt that it made sense. If he continued to be scolded like this, who would dare to let him film in the future? How else to make money?

Soon, she asked someone to write a paragraph and posted it on Weibo.

"Everyone has a different understanding of the original work of Red Mansions. Our film has always been made based on the principle of respecting the original work, and the actors are also very dedicated. As for the difference with Feiyu's version, the main reason is that the investment gap is too big. I hope everyone can understand and don’t make malicious accusations or deny the efforts of our entire crew. If there is malicious attack, we will not rule out using legal tools.”

Just a few seconds after this Weibo post in defense was posted, the first floor was already occupied.

"Director Li Shaohong, you have the nerve to jump out and lose your face."

Next, more curses instantly occupied Li Shaohong's Weibo.

"After all, you invested more than 100 million in that movie, and it was just made like that. Where is the money? Where did it go?"

"The actor's lines are like endorsements, there are strange copper coin heads, the music is like a ghost movie, and the actors chosen are all related people, right? Daiyu is fat, Baochai is thin? What the hell are they?"

"What you photographed is not the novel "Dream of Red Mansions", but the real 'Red Mansions'."

"The actors walk, eat, and talk, they don't feel classical at all. I really don't know how you became a director."

"Look at Feiyu Entertainment. Why don't you go to Boss Cao and learn from it? Don't be embarrassed."

"Li Shaohong, get out of the entertainment industry!"

……

The screen was filled with curses and criticism. An hour later, Li Shaohong's Weibo was paralyzed by the scolding.
Li Shaohong scolded her, and with her support, Feiyu Entertainment's reputation soared again.

Some viewers said that Feiyu's version is completely comparable to the 87 version, and even said it might be better.

Jing Tian, ​​Mao Xiaotong and others suddenly became popular because of this drama. Several actors who didn't know how many actors they had in the first place suddenly attracted countless fans and their reputation was comparable to that of an actor.

Among them, Xiao Zhan's fans exceeded 20 million in one night, and he became the favorite of thousands of girls.

Mao Xiaotong looked at the soaring number of fans on his Weibo, thinking about Cao Yu who gave him such an opportunity, and the guy who knocked him over, and said quietly: "Boss, thank you."

What's even more exaggerated is that not only the leading actors, but also Mrs. Wang, played by Liu Xiaoli, has been on the hot search list.
After seeing these comments, China Film's Han Sanping, one of the investors in Li Shaohong's version of "The New Red Mansion", felt a little hot.

"If I had known this, I would not have invested in Li Shaohong's Red Mansion. Like the movie "The Promise", it has become a dark history of China Film. It's a shame."

Later, he watched the video and information of Feiyu's version of "Dream of Red Mansions" on the Internet, and sighed: "Investment of 500 million, of which only 80 million was the expenditure of the director, actors and staff, and the rest turned out to be all Production costs, this is also the progress of China’s film and television industry, I hope other crews can also learn from it.”

In the United States, after Cao Yu finished writing a plot, he also checked Weibo for a while and read online reviews about "Dream of Red Mansions".

"I hope that this drama of mine, together with Feiyu's future dramas, can change the phenomenon that the crew invests all their investment in actors, and they can fool them whenever they can in the later stages."

Having said that, I remembered that a few years later, many films in the entertainment industry invested more than 80 million, of which % was the remuneration, and the rest was used as production expenses. The resulting film was simply a piece of shit.

"Don't bully the audience. Don't force-feed the audience."

"Waiting for this year, this film can be translated into Korean, Japanese and English, and also posted online, so that foreign devils can see what it means to be broad and profound in Chinese culture!"

After thinking about it, Cao Yu turned his thoughts back to the script in his hand.

In the next few days, Red Mansion fever broke out in China, and the online sales of the original work also increased dramatically, and even supported a group of UP owners on Fei Gou Video.

And Cao Yu also lived a happy and peaceful life.

On March 2nd, voting ends for all Oscar categories, and there are only five days left before the awards ceremony.

The global media's attention is focused on this award ceremony.

This year's Oscars have attracted more attention than any previous one, because this time, the nominations include "Avatar", which ranked first at the box office, as well as the critically acclaimed "Slumdog Millionaire", and the highly praised "Slumdog Millionaire" in the United States. "The Hurt Locker", and "District 9" which has a good reputation.

What is even more eye-catching is that the director of "Avatar", James, is actually the ex-husband of "The Hurt Locker" director Kathryn Bigelow. This relationship between the two has made everyone look forward to the best director and best director. Who will win the film?

Since the four nominations in this Oscar are related to Cao Yu, Fei'e Video and Yangma Six Princesses will once again broadcast the entire awards ceremony live.

On the evening of March 7th, Kodak Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

The sun has not yet set, and there are already a sea of ​​people outside the theater. What is different from the past is that there are many more Chinese faces in the crowd than before.

In addition to Chinese journalists, there are also a large number of Chinese international students and fans who have traveled thousands of miles to cheer for Cao Yu.

In Huaxia, there is a large screen in the auditorium of Nortel. Most of the students in the school are sitting here, waiting for the ceremony to start.

Feiyu Entertainment's multi-functional hall and the company's artists also went to look forward to this ceremony.

In addition to them, there are hundreds of millions of viewers across the country who are all glued to the TV set and tuned to the movie channel.

In Seoul, all trainees and artists of FNC Entertainment also took a half-day off to watch the Oscars ceremony.

America.

"My dear, you are so handsome today!"

Disha Patani couldn't help but praise her boyfriend while arranging his clothes.

"When am I not handsome?"

Cao Yu touched Disha's waist. This waist was thin, round, and voluptuous, making it a favorite among men.

The main thing is that it is so flexible that many difficult yoga movements are easy to do.

"Always handsome."

She was going to walk the red carpet with her boyfriend today, and she couldn't wait.

"You are so beautiful too."

Cao Yu kissed Disha, who was wearing a white evening dress, which made her wheat-colored skin look healthier, put his arm around her slender waist, and got in the car to go to the Oscars.

"Wow, my husband is here!"

"Husband! Husband! Husband Cao Yu!"

"Husband I love you!"

As soon as Cao Yu got off the bus, hundreds of Chinese fans around him raised signs and shouted at Cao Yu.

"husband???"

Cao Yu felt a little embarrassed when he heard this title.

If I were the husband of so many people, my waist would probably be broken.

In front of the TV, many people will smile when they hear this title through the TV.

Although Boss Cao is not a star in the true sense, his title as the nation's husband has long been confirmed.

"Senior Cao is really popular with female fans!"

Students from Nortel looked at the senior on TV walking down the red carpet with an exotic beauty on his arm, and their eyes were full of envy.

Boys envy Boss Cao, and girls certainly envy Disha.

At the award ceremony, a reporter held a microphone and approached several people who were taking photos with their cameras: "Hello, we are reporters from Fei Ge Video. Why do you call him husband?"

"He is what we think of as Prince Charming. We all like him! We like his song "Where Has the Time Gone", "Young China", all the works he wrote, and his role as Yang Guo. "

"The Yang Guo he played is so handsome. I have liked him for many years." "Yes, once I see Yang Guo, I will be a fan of him for the rest of my life!"

"He also likes to do charity and is caring. He is my idol."

The fans looked excitedly at Cao Yu not far away, with admiration in their eyes!
But when they saw the sign in the reporter’s hand was Fei Ge Video, they immediately asked: “Can you introduce us to your boss?”

"."

The reporter was speechless and could only say embarrassedly: "Actually, I haven't even spoken to our boss."

At this time, Cao Yu happened to look this way.

"Husband! Look here!"

"Husband I love you!"

The Chinese fans suddenly started shouting crazily.

"Hello everyone!"

Cao Yu waved his hands to everyone, causing another burst of crazy screams!

"Honey, what are they called?"

Disha asked curiously when she saw these Chinese girls.

Cao Yu couldn't say that these people called him "husband", so he could only smile and said: "They... call me handsome guy."

"They are quite discerning. You are indeed handsome."

Disha felt that these girls had the same vision as her and waved to the female fans.

"Who is this beauty with wheat-colored skin? She can't be my husband's girlfriend, right?"

"Didn't you recognize it? She is the heroine of "Slumdog Millionaire"."

"No wonder, she is so beautiful and has a great figure. I didn't watch it in the cinema, so I will look for this movie online when I have time."

On TV, many people also began to discuss Cao Yu's female companion.

Chen Kaige's studio.

"Husband, which film did you vote for for the Oscar this time?"

Chen Hong was also watching the live broadcast. When she saw Cao Yu, she suddenly said to her husband Chen Kai out of curiosity.

Brother Chen Kaige is one of the few directors in China who has qualified as an Oscar judge. His vote may sometimes determine the winner of the Oscar statuette.

"I have watched both of Cao Yu's movies. "Avatar" is completely a commercial movie. Although it has a high box office, it has nothing but special effects. "Millionaire" is also average. Of course I will not vote for him."

Brother Chen Kai has always looked down on Cao Yu, and doesn't want to admit that other people's films are good: ""The Hurt Locker" is very good, and it captures human nature. I voted for this film."

"They are all Chinese, actually."

"do not talk."

Brother Chen Kai interrupted his wife Chen Hong and said: "Film is an elegant art. Cao Yu is just a country bumpkin. What does elegance mean?"

"Ok."

Chen Hong could only shut up. In fact, she knew in her heart that her man was jealous.

Brother Chen Kai looked at the man with the beautiful woman on his arm and sneered in his heart: "Let me see if you can still win the award this time? The Hurt Locker is a genre that is now mainstream in the United States!"

Los Angeles.

After Cao Yu walked the red carpet, he was interviewed by reporters and was taken to his seat by the staff.

Today, his position is in the third row, right next to Leonardo DiCaprio.

"Hello, Mr. Cao."

Xiao Lizi has participated in "Inception" written by Cao Yu, and the two are relatively familiar with each other, and they greeted each other as soon as they met.

"Hello, little plum."

Seeing this slightly fat little plum, Cao Yu thought of him running on the beach with a water gun.

But Disha next to her looked at the two of them. Although she liked Jack in "Titanic" very much, she still thought Cao Yu was handsome.

The two sat down and Xiao Lizi asked: "Mr. Cao, what movie plans do you have this year?"

"'Despicable Me' and 'Avengers', among others."

Cao Yu knew that DiCaprio wanted a role, and two movies about DiCaprio appeared in his mind. He smiled and said, "But I also have a script recently. Let's talk about it after the awards ceremony."

What he had in mind were The Wolf of Wall Street and The Revenant.

Xiao Lizi didn't expect that Boss Cao really had a movie to take care of him, and said hurriedly: "No problem, thank you Mr. Cao for taking care of me, your female companion is so beautiful."

"You're welcome."

The two chatted for a while, and then thinking of "The Revenant", another idea popped into his mind: "After the awards ceremony, I'll talk to Mr. Pei about how to move survival in the wilderness to Fei Ge Video."

After greeting James and other acquaintances around him one by one, Cao Yu quietly waited for the ceremony to begin.

Not long after, after the opening song and dance performance, a composer and a talk comedian descended from the sky, and the 82nd Awards Ceremony officially kicked off.

"Everyone wants to win an Oscar, but it's not easy."

"The number of films entering the selection this year is twice that of last year, and there are more films nominated than last year. And every film is very exciting. I don't know how the judges selected it."

The two chattered for a long time, making the audience burst into laughter.

However, Cao Yu was not very fond of this kind of American humor. He secretly held Disha's little hand, wondering if he could win a statuette in this situation tonight.

The two men talked on the stage for ten minutes before the first award, Best Supporting Actor, began to be presented.

This award, which has nothing to do with Cao Yu's film, was finally won by the actor in "Inglourious Basterds".

Next are Best Animation, Best Original Song, Original Screenplay, and several awards. These are just appetizers and have nothing to do with Cao Yu.

However, the biggest competition for the best picture this year was "The Hurt Locker", which only had a box office of more than 10 million, and won the best original screenplay, making it a good start.

After a few more minor awards were presented, a man dressed like Avatar came on stage.

Just when people thought that the best makeup would go to "Avatar", the winner of this award turned out to be "Star Trek".

Cao Yu glanced at the white-haired James in the row in front of him, and sure enough he looked a little embarrassed when he saw his face smiling.

So far, "Avatar", which broke global box office records, still has no revenue.

After the award was over, the two presenting guests took the stage.

"'adaptation' to achieve new goals"

Hearing the guest's words, the hearts of the entire Chinese audience suddenly lifted.

The next award is the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, and Cao Yu's film "Millionaire" was nominated for this award.

In Xiangjiang, Liu Yifei looked at the TV with a look of anticipation: "I wonder if Brother Cao Yu can win this award?"

"I do not know."

The awards ceremony has been going on for an hour, and Liu Xiaoli discovered that this year's awards have nothing to do with box office.

"District 9", which was also nominated for adapted screenplay, has a good reputation and film. It is Cao Yu's biggest competitor this time. It is really hard to say who will receive this award in the end.

On the screen, clips from five films, "In the Cloud", "District 9", "Cherish Life", "Slumdogs" and "The Psychic", were played one by one.

In China, all Cao Yu's fans and women, Nortel students, Feiyu employees, and those who don't like Cao Yu are all staring at the TV.

"Not him!"

Brother Chen Kai, Feng Xiaogang and others were all a little nervous. They really didn't want to see Cao Yu so arrogant again.

"Honey, are you nervous?"

Disha's palms became sweaty. She held her boyfriend's hand and took a deep breath.

"Fortunately."

Although there are films with good reputations such as "District 9" as competitors, Cao Yu is still very confident in "Millionaire".

Moreover, Universal Pictures’ public relations efforts are not in vain.

On the stage, the award-giving guest gently opened the envelope after the short film was played.

"The winner of this year's Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay is..."

Over in China, everyone pricked up their ears.

"Congratulations to YU CAO on "Slumdog Millionaire"!"

When the light shone on Cao Yu, there was warm applause from around him.

"Won a prize!"

Liu Yifei from Xiangjiang immediately hugged her mother.

The multi-function hall of Feiyu Entertainment was filled with joy the moment the results were announced.

Yang Mi and Zhang Xiaofei hugged each other, Zhao Liying and Mao Xiaotong hugged each other, Jing Tian looked around and hugged Liu Shishi.
The girls cheered loudly as if they had won an award.

“OPPA is so awesome!”

In Seoul, T-ARA and Girls' Generation sat together. At this moment, the girls cried with joy.

"Husband! Husband!"

Outside the awards venue, the fans were all jumping up and down at this moment, and other people looked at them sideways.

"Damn! Why did he win the award again!"

When Brother Chen Kai saw Cao Yu standing up on the screen and hugging the beautiful woman next to him, he couldn't help but cursed sourly.

At the same time, Feng Xiaogang of Huayi also cursed: "Are these Oscar judges blind?"
