China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 549 547. Encounter with Little Rose from Game of Thrones, Flying Goose video will be released soon
On TV, Cao Yu held up the Oscar, the most important statuette of this year, and was delivering his acceptance speech.

Korean club FNC, the girls watching this live broadcast had admiration on their faces, especially T-ARA and Lin Yoona.

Women who can become the president of OPPA feel only satisfaction and honor in their hearts. At the same time, they also look forward to Cao Yu coming to Korea Bang as soon as possible.

Girls miss their men.

When other girls in their teenage years looked at the men on TV, and then looked at Lim Yoon Ah and Kim Hyo Yeon, they actually felt a little envious.

On the side, Jessica Jung, a member of f(x) who has formed a group, has now grown into a tall and graceful girl. Her appearance is also pretty and her hair is pretty, and her appearance is no worse than her sister Jung Soo-yeon.

Now watching the high-spirited Cao Yu on TV, the little girl has begun to imagine that this person would be her prince charming.

"If I have a chance, I want to be like sister He Yoona."

Although she knew that Chairman Cao already had several women, it didn't seem to matter if she had one more.

Hua Xia and Song Zue also admired their godfather for being so prosperous on the Hollywood stage, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

Ma Yun held the newspaper with solemn eyes. The photo of Cao Yu when he won the award was so beautiful, which made him feel an invisible pressure.

Yanjing.

"Haha, Cao, this is all as it should be. The main thing is that your script is good."

Many group buying platform bosses believe that if you want to be in the market and gain more market share, you must first learn to burn money.

Cao Yu's performance at the Spring Festival Gala more than a month ago has already made him famous.

"Half and half, I can't let you suffer."

"You spent a lot on public relations for this Oscar. Besides, we have an old relationship. I can't monopolize the benefits."

Wang Xing’s Youtuan has now occupied most of China’s second- and third-tier markets and has become one of the top five platforms in the group buying market. He recently raised US$10 million from Sequoia Capital.

Regarding the fact that Cao Yu became the biggest winner tonight, not only the Chinese media reported it, but even Korean media and other media also occupied the front page headlines.

At this time, the history created at the Oscars, coupled with the large number of WeChat users, caused Meituan’s sales to increase by 10% the next day.

This is Bob's third invitation, and Cao Yu is too embarrassed to refuse this time.

"I want to go to the United States to study. With my godfather taking care of me, I might be able to develop in the United States in the future."

"Cao Yu actually won three statuettes in one night. It was a bit exaggerated. Moreover, affected by the news, Meituan's sales increased. The effect of this person is so powerful. No wonder he is worth tens of billions. I’m still willing to go to the Spring Festival Gala. It turns out that I was waiting for this day. If I don’t take more action, I’m afraid Juhuasuan will be beaten down sooner or later.”

Cao Yu believes that he should let them make trouble first, let them play, and then stabilize his position. When these platforms have almost burned out their money, he will take action at that time.

"Okay, leave me a supporting role when the time comes. There will be a Korean man in this drama and a Korean woman."

At the Los Angeles ceremony, after the last award was awarded, the 82nd Academy Awards finally came to an end.

But now Boss Cao is willing to take over the script solely because of their relationship.

Cao Yu was very cheerful. Although the first "Despicable Me" movie had a box office of 1.3 billion U.S. dollars, Minion toys also made hundreds of millions. Everyone was jealous of such huge profits.

Cao Yu knew that he was able to win three Oscars this time not only because the film was well shot, but also because Universal Pictures' public relations played a role in it.

Universal's Bob finally waited until Boss Cao sent the script for "Despicable Me 2" with a smile on his face like a chrysanthemum.

The way to advance is to clear the way with money and plan to smash a bloody path.

After receiving Cai Chongxin's report on the current status of the group buying market, he only replied with one sentence: "Do a good job in customer service, maintain reputation, and wait for the rest."

In the car, Cao Yu asked: "When will the filming of "Fast and Furious 5" start?"

After the Oscar ceremony, Cao Yu was busy discussing work with Universal Pictures.

Hangcheng.

He firmly believes that as long as you are willing to spend money, there is no market that cannot be built. This is the law of capital.

It stands to reason that Cao Yu now has his own film and television company in the United States, and he can completely produce the "Despicable Me" series by himself.

"Cao, congratulations."

Old Bob laughed and asked again: "How do you plan to distribute the investment in "Despicable Me 2" this time?"

"Okay, let's go take a look."

He has been waiting for this script for almost a year, and now it's finally here.

As she was about to graduate from elementary school, once this idea came up, she became more and more determined.

Jianghu relies on human connections and sophistication.

But Boss Cao was still so generous, which even moved Bob: "Cao, I will take you to have fun tonight no matter what."

"It seems that in order to gain more market share while he is still abroad."

With money and a base, he was no longer satisfied with controlling only third- and fourth-tier cities and began to advance into second-tier cities.

Other group buying platforms such as Lashou, Wowotuan, 24juan, etc., seeing the fierceness of Juhuasuan and Youtuan, also began to spend money. For a time, advertising wars, position wars, and promotion wars were overwhelming, and the entire group buying market was once again turbulent.

Thinking of this, Ma Yun immediately ordered to continue spending money in the group buying market.

If you can’t even burn money, what kind of market can you do?
On some platforms, even at the end of the day, even if tens of millions of dollars are invested, there will sometimes be no splash.

After all, I am Chinese, and without a connection like Universal Pictures, I would probably be targeted by the Americans, or even attack in groups.

"This June."

Cao Yu did not forget that he wanted Liu Huaying to act in this drama and then cripple her.

"This is easy to say. You are also one of the investors and have this right."

Naturally, Bob would not refuse such a request. Besides, Cao Yu was originally an investor in the fifth to eighth installments of this series, and he also helped revise the script of the fifth installment.

That night, Cao Yu spent a pleasant night at the club where Bob usually entertained distinguished guests.

After finishing "Despicable Me 2", he met James again the next day.

James missed out on the Best Director this year and has been brooding over it. When Cao Yu saw him, the latter's mood had not yet calmed down.

"James, don't be discouraged. If you join the "Gravity" project, I will give you a director's name. Maybe it will improve your chance of winning the best director again."

"Are you so sure?"

James feels that Cao Yu is a little too confident. You think he can win the best director if he can?

"With such a good script, as long as the filming is good, there should be no problem."

Cao Yu is sure because the film "Gravity" received ten Oscar nominations and won seven awards including Best Director and Best Cinematography.

"Okay, as long as I can win the Best Director again, if you have any needs in the future, I will make it happen without any hesitation."

Seeing how confident Cao Yu was, James immediately cheered up.

"it is good!"

Cao Yu hugged the other party happily: "When I finish this project, I will give you a call and you can come to China then."

After getting rid of James, he immediately flew to New York non-stop to deal with Marvel matters.

Li Xian, a Chinese producer poached from Sony, has good working ability. The casting of "Avengers" has been completed, and Joss Whedon has been selected as the director. The filming date is set at the end of March and is expected to be released at the end of next year.

This series of movies is also one of the best-selling movies in the world.

After finishing all this, there was still one week left before February 2 of the lunar calendar. Cao Yu, as chairman, held a meeting at Marvel.

The year before last, "Iron Man" and last year's "Iron Fist" were both box-office hits, and now Marvel has come back to life.

This year, the boss won three more Oscars. Under the influence of this incident, Marvel's stock continued to rise for several days. This alone increased Cao Yu's net worth by more than one billion U.S. dollars.

However, it will take nearly two years for "Avengers" to be released. During this vacuum period, he had previously sent an email to Marvel to combine the three projects of "Iron Man 2", "Thor" and "Captain America". It will be filmed this year.

"Boss, the scripts for these three movies are almost finished. Please give them some final revisions when you have time."

Kevin, the current CEO of Marvel, wants to add the chairman's name to the list of screenwriters, so that the movie will be more famous.

"I don't have time recently, so the story should be as close to the original as possible."

Although Marvel's films do well at the box office, Oscar doesn't like such films. He doesn't have time to write screenwriters for these films now.

Now that you have money, just hire someone.

"Then casting boss, do you want to take a look?"

Li Xian is Chinese and knows what bosses in the Chinese entertainment industry like.

Casting is a good opportunity to meet more beauties.

"Anyway, I'll stay here for a few days and I'll go check it out during the casting."

Of course Cao Yu agreed. It was one thing to look at the beauties, but the main thing was to understand the performance level of American actors.

"Okay, let's make arrangements then."

CEO Kevin immediately agreed. He also owns Marvel stock. Since Cao Yu acquired the company, he has not only brought the dying Marvel back to life, but it has also gotten better and better.

Now that the boss has four statuettes, Marvel's prospects are now immeasurable.

After the meeting, Cao Yu went to HBO without rest.

"Game of Thrones" started filming at the end of last year and will be broadcast in April next year. Cao Yu has some things to explain.

As soon as HBO's chairman Casey met, he enthusiastically invited Cao Yu into his office: "Mr. Cao, the biggest Oscar winner, congratulations!"

"Thank you. I heard that filming of "Game of Thrones" has already started?" "The filming started in November last year and is expected to be completed in July this year."

"Oh, that's how it is"

Cao Yu nodded and said: "This film will be broadcast in China. I have a suggestion. When there are nudity scenes, there should be less dialogue related to the plot. This will make it easier for us to edit."

"why?"

Casey didn't understand. Didn't there also be nudity in Chinese movies? This is eye-catching, why don’t you want it?

Cao Yu said with a smile: "Because of cultural differences, the Chinese version cannot have too much frontal nudity. If the cuts are too severe, it will affect the viewing experience."

"Ok."

In the original agreement between HBO and Fei Ge Video, the revenue of each episode was determined based on the number of views. Casey was not willing to affect the company's revenue because of the nudity issue.

Who made China's market so big?

After the two talked about business, Cathy smiled and said: "Cao, I heard that you have also been a director in China. Do you want to go and see the crew? That dragon mother is young and beautiful. You just won three statuettes. She should Would love to meet you."

"I don't have time. The company has to cast actors for several movies in the past two days."

Speaking of Dragon Mother, Cao Yu remembered her moving eyebrows and magical smile.

In Game of Thrones, the actresses he liked at first were Little Rose and Missandei, the maid of Dragon Mother.

It’s just that we haven’t seen these two people in the first season.

Three days after leaving HBO, Marvel began casting actors for "Captain America."

"Iron Man 2" basically maintains the cast of the first film, and there are not many newcomers. When the time comes, it will be up to Li Xian to decide.

The budget of "Captain America" ​​is 1.3 million U.S. dollars, and the budget of "Thor" is 1.5 million U.S. dollars. Although these two films are not as much as "Avengers" with 2.2 million U.S. dollars, because Cao Yugang shined at the Oscar, he came to audition. There are still many actors.

After the audition started, Cao Yu was either dealing with emails or writing other scripts at the scene. He only occasionally raised his head to see if any of the actresses in the audition stood out.

"My name is Natalie Dormer, and I'm here to audition for the role of Lorraine, the second female lead in Captain America."

"Are you familiar with this character?"

"Yes, I have read the comics. This character is Captain America's first kiss partner."

In front of the camera, producer Li Xian communicated with people who came to audition.

After Cao Yu typed out a plot on the computer, he looked up casually and was startled: "I was talking about Little Rose a few days ago, but I didn't expect her to be here now?"

Although Little Rose is now wearing casual clothes, she still looks quite good-looking, especially her figure is as good as in Game of Thrones.

However, Cao Yu just took one look at it and continued writing the script without planning anything.

Natalie watched the Oscars a few days ago, and she came to this audition because of the reputation of Cao Yu and Marvel.

She graduated from college not long ago. After entering the entertainment industry, she did well and acted as the heroine of a TV series, but her development in movies has not been good.

Therefore, she wants to go one step further and transform from TV series to movies, which means there will be movies that have the chance to become popular.

Nowadays in the United States, Marvel is already a rising star among several major film and television companies. With her qualifications, she dare not think about getting the heroine, but the second heroine is still possible.

After Natalie performed for a while, Li Xian felt that it was okay, so she looked at the boss, only to find that Cao Yu was still busy and didn't say anything.

"The boss is not even interested in such a beautiful woman?"

Li Xian was so surprised that she had no choice but to say to Natalie: "Miss Natalie, your performance is not bad, but your qualifications are a little short. You go back and wait for news."

Natalie was a little disappointed, glanced at Marvel's boss Cao Yu, and had to leave first.

However, she still wanted to get this role, so after some hesitation, she planned to guard the Chinese boss at the door of Marvel.

Sure enough, when it was time to eat, Cao Yu walked out of the building accompanied by a beautiful secretary.

Natalie immediately greeted her: "Hello, Mr. Cao, my name is Natalie. I'm here for the audition today. Can I get to know you?"

"I remember you."

Cao Yu glanced up and down at this beautiful little rose with a proud figure, and said with a smile: "Get in the car and eat together."

Disha had already gone back to school. After trying this little rose, Cao Yu thought it was good.

Hotel bed.

"You performed very well. As long as your acting skills are good, I will give you the role of Lorraine. And if there is a chance, I will recommend you to HBO to play the role of the little rose in "Game of Thrones"."

Cao Yu shamelessly gave the role of Little Rose to Natalie.

"Cao, you are also great. You have changed my view of Chinese people."

Natalie was also very excited. In addition to feeling that the sleep was really worth it, Cao Yu's performance surprised her.

A few days later, the main actors of the two movies "Iron Man 2" and "Captain America" ​​were finalized. Oga Fonda, Cao Yu's American secretary, will star in "Iron Man 2".

For the casting of "Thor", Cao Yu left full power to Li Xian.

On March 17, February 2 of the lunar calendar, the dragon raises its head, which is a good time to make an alliance, break ground, build buildings, and build warehouses.

On this day, Teacher Tony from many barbershops in China was probably extremely busy.

The Nasdaq stock exchange was also crowded and busier than usual because a multinational Internet company was going to be listed today.

Penguin's Lu Huateng, Jingdong's Liu Qiangdong, Baidu's Li Yanhong and many other Chinese Internet giants came to support Cao Yu's platform.

Ahri’s Ma Yun also came, but he just came to see the excitement, because in half a month, Ahri’s Tudou Video will also be launched here.

In addition, Yang Shuxue of Huanyu Group, Tesla CEO Musk, Samsung Li Fuzhen, the boss of Universal Pictures, 21st Century Fox and others came to cheer for Cao Yu.

9: am.

Nasdaq trades in preparation room for Feigoose Video.

"Brother, the issue price is US$39. This is a record for China Internet to be listed in the United States."

Lu Huateng felt very happy at this time.

When Cao Yu said he wanted to invest in a video website, he never expected that it would develop so well now. As long as the stock price can exceed 40 US dollars after the market opens, the market value of Fei'e Video will exceed billion US dollars, and his own net worth will also increase by billion US dollars. .

Of course, the biggest beneficiary is Cao Yu, the largest shareholder.

"I don't know if American investors have confidence in the prospects of our website."

Cao Yu knows very well that there are no good people on Wall Street. These old financial giants will make things difficult for him. If the opening price is lower than the issue price, it will be embarrassing.

Lu Huateng was full of confidence in Cao Yu: "It should be no problem, I have intuition!"

While the two were chatting, Valentin, the boss of Sequoia Capital, walked into the room.

Sequoia Capital originally took 10% of Fei'e Video's shares. If Fei'e Video's stock surges today, their income from this alone will be as high as more than billion U.S. dollars, making it a very successful investment case for the company.

Valentin, who has silver hair but still shrewd eyes, sat next to Cao Yu: "Mr. Cao, I heard that you launched a Meituan some time ago. Do you want me to invest a little? Any amount is fine."

Each of the companies created by this Chinese man in front of them is very promising. Although they have invested in Youtuan, they also want to participate in Cao Yu's Meituan.

Investment is like a scumbag looking for a boyfriend. They will cast a wide net, and who they end up with will depend on their development prospects.

Unexpectedly, Cao Yu shook his head: "No need for the time being. We have also established an investment company ourselves. If there are any good projects in the future, we will work together."

"That's it"

Valentin shook his head in disappointment, no longer forced, and smiled: "What are your predictions for the stock price of Fei'e Video?"

"I hope I can make you more money."

"should be."

Valentine is very grateful for his original investment.

Fei'e Video is now the world's largest video playback platform, with more than one billion stable users, covering movies, TV, variety shows, games, animation and other fields. It only generates billions of dollars in advertising revenue every year, as well as membership fees. .

If Wall Street is not optimistic about such a platform, then there will be no better company.

However, the shares I hold are a bit small and I must increase my holdings.

Other capital companies such as Xu Xin also have the same idea.

At this time, Yang Shuxue walked in: "It's about to start. Who are you going to ring the bell with later?"

"Lao Lu, the two of us?"

Cao Yu looked at Lu Huateng, the second largest shareholder of Fei Ge Video.

"Forget it, let Sister Yang do it."

Lu Huateng had long noticed that the relationship between the two was unusual, and immediately gave this opportunity to Yang Shuxue.

"Ok."

Cao Yu smiled and said to Yang Shuxue: "Sister Shuxue, will we ring the bell together later?"

"it is good!"

Yang Shuxue felt sweet in her heart and did not refuse.
