China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 562 560. To create an ancient style girl group in Korea (two-in-one)

"Cao, this is a piece of land on the South Gold Coast of San Francisco, covering an area of ​​7500 square meters. How about it?"

On a hill on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, Old Bob pointed to a section of flat land in front of him and introduced Cao Yu and Li Fuzhen.

During this period, I helped Cao Yu find an excellent place, especially the one in front of me, which is adjacent to the ocean. It is the best place to build a sea view manor. The main price is also suitable, only one hundred and two dollars per square meter.

Cao Yu looked around and felt that although the place was flat, it was too close to the coast and the area was a little too small for his own planning. He turned around and said, "Fuzhen, what do you think?"

"The wind is a bit strong."

Although the house was built and could see the sea, Li Fuzhen didn't like it.

"I think so."

Cao Yu wanted to see more and asked, "Is there any more?"

Bob said: "There is another place that is very good, but it is a bit far away from San Francisco. The price of land has also been raised because Larry Ellison built an estate there more than five years ago."

"Ellison? Is he the founder of Oracle?"

"Yes, that's him."

"Go and have a look."

Several people drove for less than an hour to a place called Woodside.

Although it does not face the Atlantic Ocean, it is close to the San Francisco Bay.

The sea here is calm and there are many mansions nearby, and the environment looks quite good.

Especially when Cao Yu saw the Ellison Manor covering an area of ​​nearly 90,000 square meters from a distance, he immediately fell in love with this place.

Ellison Manor is built in Japanese style. If you build a Chinese-style manor here, you can just compete with the opponent.

If Chinese gardens are miniature versions of landscapes, then Japanese gardens are just enlarged bonsais. The artistic conception is not even the slightest bit worse. Are you afraid that you can't compare with him?
It's just that the Japanese like packaging and export their "cat litter box" garden culture to the world, making the Japanese-style dry landscape popular in many places around the world.

Therefore, Cao Yu decided to let the world see what is the beauty of Chinese gardens.

In addition, it seems good to have Ellison, the future richest man in the world, as a neighbor.

He turned around and glanced at Li Fuzhen, and found that she was also very satisfied, so he asked, "How much is the land price here?"

"This place was originally only $50 per square meter. Just because the Ellison Manor is here, it has now increased to $ per square meter, an increase of more than %."

"Two hundred and thirty dollars"

Cao Yu did some calculations and found out that one square piece of empty land cost more than a thousand Chinese coins, which was not very expensive, and the land became his private property after he bought it.

Rich people like to buy real estate, and Cao Yu is no exception, especially since he was dominated by the fear of houses in his previous life.

In addition, it is impossible to transfer all the money earned in the United States back to the country. If it is not wasted, it will not be spent. Importing materials from China will also stimulate the economy.

He did the math and said with a smile: "I plan to buy 200,000 square meters."

"Two hundred thousand square meters? Ellison Manor is only 90,000 square meters. Although the land price is not expensive, the later construction cost is not cheap."

Bob was a little surprised. Are you planning to build one of the top ten estates in the world?
As expected of a rich man who has just been promoted to fifth place.

Li Fuzhen also advised: "Isn't it a bit too big?"

"Not too big, not too big." Cao Yu said with a smile: "After you buy it, if you have nothing to do these days, just help me complete the procedures. After a while, I will find someone to design it."

When Cao Yu watched "Marry the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair" for the first time, who didn't imagine that one day he could live in a garden like the one on TV?
"Cao, you are indeed arrogant."

Bob praised, and then thought that Cao Yu could almost make money from the estate by making a movie, so why not enjoy it?

Cao Yu stood on the top of the mountain and thought to himself: "When the garden here is completed, I guess I will be able to retire."

At this time, Li Fuzhen asked: "Do you want to build a helicopter pad? It will be convenient for going out."

"Apron? Forget it..."

Speaking of helicopters, Cao Yu thought of Kobe, and he was going to build a Chinese-style garden. What would a helipad look like?
After staying in the United States for a few days, I submitted the procedures for purchasing land. It was already April 20th.

Cao Yu bid farewell to Li Fuzhen and returned to Seoul.

On the way back, he contacted the designers of Xiangshan Film and Television City and planned to design the American manor into a true Chinese garden style.

After getting off the plane, when Cao Yu just returned to FNC's surroundings, he was immediately stunned by the huge crowds of people in front of him.

"Is this some kind of grand party? Why are there so many people?"

He knew that there were many people signing up as trainees in the United States these days, but he didn't expect there to be so many.

At this time, on the streets of FNC, several registered teams were more than one kilometer long, and many people were still setting up tents around the roadside. It seemed that they planned to fight for a long time.

In addition to the police, there were many vendors selling food, making it a lively scene.

"There are so many people who want to be famous."

Looking at the dark crowd around him, Cao Yu shook his head and drove into the company in the eyes of everyone around him.

……

During these days when Chairman Cho is in the United States, Lin Yoona of Girls' Generation has begun to make random guesses.

She originally said that her beloved OPPA would definitely look for her within two days, but now a week has passed and she hasn't even seen anyone.

Especially in the past two days, young people from all over Korea gathered outside the company, and even boys and girls from China and Japan, which made her even more worried.

“Does OPPA really like the new and hate the old?”

She had been absent-minded in practicing these past few days, and she felt like she had no love left.

After practicing, Kim Taeyeon looked at Lin Yoona, whose eyes were a little dazed, and understood what she was thinking.

"Yoona, don't do this."

He shook his head and came over to comfort him: "I don't think your OPPA is that kind of person. Practice hard. He will go to Japan for a concert in a few days."

"But I feel sad. OPPA has been in Seoul for several days and has not come to see me."

As Lin Yoona spoke, she couldn't help but shed tears: "Taeyeon, what should I do? What if OPPA doesn't want me anymore?"

Kim Taeyeon suddenly said: "Yoona, does the president want Girls' Generation to be like T-ARA's sister? Did he do this on purpose?"

Hearing this, Lin Yoona immediately raised her head and said in surprise with tears on her face: "You guys... don't you have any thoughts about OPPA?"

"I don't know about others, I don't have any."

Kim Taeyeon quickly denied it, and then said, "I am worried that the president has this idea. After all, men like... like to try new things."

While the two were talking, Quan Yuli, who was not far away, suddenly came over and said, "I hope we sisters can always be together..."

"Always together? What do you mean?"

Lin Yoona and Kim Taeyeon turned around together and looked at Kwon Yuri in surprise.

"I mean, if we are also his women, we can always be together, and maybe we can keep OPPA's heart."

Kwon Yoo Ri has long liked Cao Yu, and this time she plans to speak out: "You have also seen, how many young girls are out there? How fierce the competition will be in the future, think about how hard we worked when we were in school, and think about when we were trainees It’s sad, but I think it will be better if I think about it again.”

When talking about their experiences of going to school and being trainees, the girls all lowered their heads.

Life at that time was simply worse than death.

The president is very kind to them. If they are really together with the president, at least they will have a bigger backer.

But if everyone follows the president, is it really good?
Kim Taeyeon shook her head silently, saying that she would not want to do this, although she was also grateful to Cao Yu.

Xu Xian just entered college this year, and he was a little hesitant, but when he saw Lin Yuner, a senior from the same school, he thought to himself: "If the president doesn't like the new and hates the old, can I consider it?"

However, Jessica was a little tempted and wanted to try...

Everyone was thinking about their own thoughts and no one spoke.

However, Kim Hyo-yeon came over and hugged Lin Yoon-ah's shoulders: "Yoon-ah, OPPA really hasn't come to us for two days. It seems we must be prepared."

Lin Yoona asked curiously: "How to prepare?"

Kim Hyo-yeon said in his ear: "Kwon Yuri must like OPPA. Let's drag her into the water first, and then defeat her one by one. This will not only capture OPPA's heart, but also bring us sisters together."

Lin Yoona struggled: "Although I don't mind OPPA having other girls, this is not good."

"OPPA definitely likes it."

However, Jin Xiaoyuan felt that his idea was fine. If he wanted to become more famous, this was the only way.

While the two were talking, the door of the practice room was suddenly pushed open, and a familiar figure stood at the door, saying with a smile on his face: "What are you guys doing? You are going to attend a concert soon, aren't you going to practice?" "

"OPPA?"

Lin Yuner blinked, thinking she had seen it wrong.

When he saw that the man at the door was the president he had missed for a long time, he immediately ran over and jumped on Cao Yu, regardless of the presence of his sisters.

When the other girls saw their teammates like this, some were envious and some were helpless, and they all turned their heads with smiles.

"OPPA, you are finally here"

Lin Yuner put her hands around Cao Yu's neck and burst into tears again.

"I have something to do recently. I went to the United States. What's wrong? Miss me?"

"Um"

"Don't cry, I'll take you somewhere tonight."

Cao Yu helped the girl wipe away her tears and said softly: "Practice hard, the performance will be in a week."

"I will definitely work hard."

Seeing that her man was still so gentle to her, and hearing that he had gone to the United States and was not ignoring her, Lin Yoona's previous suspicions disappeared.

However, should we do what Kim Hyo-yeon said?
After Cao Yu left, the other girls came over and said, "Yoon'er, look at how hopeless you looked just now."

"I do, I do!" The haze in Lin Yuner's heart disappeared, and she immediately returned to her lively appearance.

However, her appearance made several of them envious.

Cao Yu just returned to the company and just passed by Girls' Generation's practice room and stopped in to take a look. He still had important things to do today.

When I arrived at the office, I immediately called Jin Guangzhu: "President Jin, have you found the screenwriter?"

"I found it. I've been waiting for you all these days."

Not long after finishing the phone call with Jin Guangzhu, he brought three people to Cao Yu's office, one of whom was a woman.

"President, this is Park Ji-eun. Last year, she wrote a script called "The Helpful Queen" and was nominated for the Best Screenplay Award in the TV category at the 46th Baeksang Arts Awards. She is very talented and I admire you very much. "

"This is Jiang Jiongzhe, the editor of the movie "Extraordinary Anchor". This movie has more than 8 million viewers."

After Jin Guangzhu introduced the two young people, he pointed at the last man who was about fifty years old and said: "You should have heard of this President Cao. He is the screenwriter who wrote "My Sassy Girl", Guo Zairong."

"Well done."

Cao Yu didn't expect that Jinguangzhu found three good screenwriters in one week, especially that woman, who turned out to be the original screenwriter of "My Love from the Star".

And the screenwriter and director of "Sunshine Sisters" is Jiang Jiongzhe sitting opposite him.

This is really a coincidence.

The production cost of "Sunshine Sisters" is not high, and it will test the screenwriter's skills, but the original screenwriters are here, so there will be no problem, and it is expected to be launched in the second half of the year.

Thinking of this, Cao Yu directly took out two plot summaries and said with a smile: "This is the plot I conceived. You will be responsible for the specific script in the future, so you can take a look first."

Among the three, Guo Zairong was the oldest. He continued the story for a while and then solemnly said: "President, two good stories."

"Sunshine Sisters" is a story from the perspective of an ordinary housewife, recalling the high school years 25 years ago. The story is not complicated, but the expression is very complex, which tests the skills of the screenwriter and director.

"A League of Thieves" is about a gang of thieves stealing national treasures. It is completely in the style of a commercial film.

After the three people finished watching the two plots, they all looked at this young entertainment company with admiration.

Especially Jiang Jiongzhe, I feel like "Sunshine Sisters" is written in my heart.

Guo Zaiyong even praised: "Chairman Cho is indeed the best screenwriter in Hollywood. I am honored to join FNC Entertainment."

"Then I welcome everyone to join."

Cao Yu looked at the three of them and smiled: "When will these two scripts be completed?"

"If we write together, we can definitely give the president two satisfactory scripts within two months!"

"very good."

Cao Yu nodded and showed a satisfied smile: "President Jin, immediately set up a screenwriting department, Mr. Guo will be the director, and the other two will be editors first. In addition, recruit some talented young people to join."

Jin Guangzhu agreed: "Okay, president!"

Cao Yu said to the three of them: "Also, if you have any good script ideas, you can give them to me."

"We must work hard!"

The three of them immediately nodded in agreement.

After finalizing the matter of screenwriting, Cao Yu came to the trainee recruitment office.

There was a long queue at the door. When these young children saw the man in front of them, they immediately recognized him as the president who sang "Gangnam Style" they had seen on TV, and they all bowed respectfully.

Cao Yu walked into the room. Li Xiuman and the others were interviewing a girl. The little girl was dancing and looked about eleven or twelve years old, with a rather childish face.

"It's really a crime to be forced to be a trainee at such a young age."

Shaking his head in his mind, he sat next to Li Xiuman and asked, "How is it?"

Li Xiuman said: "There are too many people. There are more than 53,000 children who signed up this time. There is an audition on the first floor. I am here for a re-election. Whether you can finally join FNC or not, the president will make three selections."

"More than 50,000 people?"

This number shocked Cao Yu. Han Bang only had more than 50 million people in total, and there were more than 50,000 at once. It was a bit too exaggerated.

Li Xiuman said: "This time, there are not only Koreans participating in the audition, but also Chinese and Japanese people."

"That's it."

Cao Yu remembered the first Supergirl audition, when 150,000 people signed up, so he didn't say anything. He took some information and glanced at it: "Why are there children under the age of twelve also signing up?"

Li Xiuman nodded and said: "10% of people are under the age of twelve. Our company is very famous now, and some parents may be afraid of missing such a good opportunity."

"If you let us know, elementary school students under twelve years old should be sent back. We won't accept them."

After Cao Yu finished speaking, he asked again: "How many people are re-elected now?"

"In the past few days, more than 15,000 people have been auditioned, and more than 1,000 people have been selected from ten. The proportion of re-selection is also one out of ten. You will not have too many people for the final interview."

"Row."

Cao Yu nodded. More than a hundred people should not be too tired. He smiled and said: "You should inform the children under the age of twelve and their parents to go back first. I will take a look at the materials that passed the check."

"Okay, President."

Li Xiuman stood up, hesitated for a moment, and finally said nothing, and went out to inform those who participated in the audition.

The trainee information on the table has been divided by country by Li Xiuman. Cao Yu put down Han Bang's information and picked up the Chinese one.

"Fortunately, the children in China are of a relatively suitable age."

Cao Yu flipped through it and found that some of the Chinese people participating in the audition were international students from Japan and South Korea, as well as some domestic college students, and they were basically all over eighteen years old.

"Eh, Zhang Bichen? Is she here too?"

After flipping through it for a while, he unexpectedly found a familiar name.

"For such an excellent singer, singing and dancing here is a bit of a waste. He can sign with Feiyu."

Cao Yu continued to look through the information while calculating.

Those from China who come to recruit trainees are either good at dancing, have some singing skills, or are very beautiful.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar name again: Liu Muzi.

"Isn't this the most popular Xiaoduo among the seven? 92, model, senior year of high school."

As a post-80s generation who likes traditional culture, Cao Yu is familiar with Qi Duo, especially their "Falling Flower Love" and "Yu Sheng Yan", which have always been songs he often listens to in his playlist.

It's a pity that this group went silent because of lack of good marketing.

"You can sign this girl to FNC and create a Chinese style group, but Qiduo only has one now."

Cao Yu was thinking when he suddenly heard Li Haoyang running in with a nervous look on his face.

"President, something happened!"

"what happened?"

"President Li Xiuman just announced your decision not to admit children under the age of twelve. Some parents were dissatisfied with us. They started making trouble at the door and even rushed in to ask you why you didn't accept them."

Li Haoyang finished speaking breathlessly and asked: "President, what should I do? Otherwise, revoke the decision."

"Damn! I'm actually making trouble for your own good?"

Cao Yu stood up and came to the window. As soon as he opened the window, the noise from outside came in immediately.

"Protest! Protest!"

"Why don't you let us join in!"

"We have been waiting in line for several days, and now we are saying no, we are protesting!"

……

Thousands of parents downstairs gathered around the entrance of the company, shouting in protest. If the police hadn't stopped them, they would have probably rushed in.

"It was my mistake. I thought there wouldn't be such a young child, but I didn't expect it."

Cao Yu sighed, closed the window, and said, "Let's go down and have a look."

Li Haoyang quickly persuaded: "President, it's too dangerous."

"It's okay, help me prepare the microphone."

After Cao Yu finished speaking, he came directly downstairs.

At this time, basically everyone in the company knew about the trouble outside, and many people were lying by the windows to see how this matter could be resolved.

Especially Girls' Generation, T-ARA and others, when they saw Cao Yu coming downstairs, they were all worried about him.

There is a lot of excitement right now, and if this is not handled carefully, the company's reputation may be ruined.

The noise caused some people living around FNC, as well as some fans who like EXO and T-ARA, to gather around to watch the excitement and want to see how this company would resolve this matter.

Some reporters held up cameras and started filming.

"President Cao is here!"

"President Cao, we have been queuing for three days just to get our children to join FNC. You can't just say no."

"You can't deprive your children of their dreams just because they are young!"

……

When the president of the company came out surrounded by a group of people, the parents at the door continued to shout, as if if they were not IDOLs, their children would have no future.

"Quiet!"

Cao Yu stood on the steps at the door of the company building, holding the microphone and yelling.

The low voice from the stereo immediately suppressed the noisy protests outside.
