China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 587 585. Will you get married? (-in-)

At the end of October, the movies "Zodiac" and "Detective Dee: The Empire" which were released together were also released together.

However, the box office results of the two movies were vastly different.

"Twelve Zodiac" has a box office of over 900 million, while "Detective Dee: The Empire" only has a fraction of 400 million, which is more than half of the box office.

From a box office perspective, this movie made a loss. Fortunately, with the copyright and sponsorship, the producer made a little profit.

But for Huayi, which has suffered losses frequently in the past two years, it is simply a drop in the bucket and cannot solve the big problem.

Now, Wang Zhongjun has placed all his last hopes for this year on "If You Are the One 2".

That's why he was willing to take the risk of exposing Cao Yu and Zhang Yimou's affairs, just to suppress Feiyu Entertainment, so that he could increase the box office of "If You Are the One 2".

After all, you, Cao Yu, are a celebrity, and Liu Yifei is still a star. It is definitely not morally justified for something like this to happen.

However, Wang Zhongjun did not let his brother expose the matter immediately. He wanted to wait until early December, when "If You Are the One 2" would be released soon, and the effect would definitely be the best.

Cao Yu, who was in Seoul, didn't know that his affair with Liu Yifei had been known to others.

At this time, he was either busy giving advice on the e-commerce platform "Utesco" or busy with the last concert in China, Japan and South Korea.

October 30, Saturday night.

The main Olympic arena in Seoul is bustling with activity.

Korean fans have been looking forward to this concert for more than half a year, and now it is finally its turn to be held in Seoul.

In China, concert tickets are sold on Meituan, and there are almost no scalpers. However, it is different in Seoul. The original ticket price of 690,000 won has been sold to 2 to 3 million, and it is still difficult to get a ticket.

But after the concert, those Korean fans suddenly discovered that the K-Pop music they were so proud of was completely surpassed by a Chinese legend.

Not to mention Linghua's long and long high notes, Zeng Yi's rap alone is better than any popular Korean singer.

The two bandit singers, who looked like they came from the grasslands, taught Bangzi fans a lesson, letting them know what it means to be a great country and what it means to be nationally confident.

So, their self-confidence was shaken, and they began to look for evidence on the website to see if they could prove any connection between the Legend of Phoenix Emperor and Bangzi.

But all this is in vain, these two people have nothing to do with the stick.

They can only say that groups like EXO and Girls' Generation are beautiful, can sing and dance, and want to regain some confidence for themselves.

Some fans from the two countries even started to fight each other online, both wanting to prove that their music is better.

The emergence of Fenghuang Legend resisted the invasion of the Korean Wave for the first time.

At the same time, the seeds of Chinese music’s original power were quietly planted in Bangzi’s heart.

"This is the result we want."

Cao Yu was laughing in the office while scrolling through online comments, feeling that the purpose of the concert had been achieved.

"President Cao, what are you laughing at?"

Behind him, popular actress Jun Ji-hyun was gently rubbing Chairman Cho's temples with her two delicate hands.

"The fans from China and South Korea are quarreling. It's very interesting."

Cao Yu let go of the mouse, leaned back on the chair, and asked, "By the way, have you finished filming your commercial?"

After "My Love from the Star" hit the airwaves, Jun Ji-hyun has now become famous all over Korea, so Cao Yu arranged for her to be the spokesperson of "Utesco" and shoot a promotional advertisement.

"The filming is over."

Quan Ji-hyun lowered her head, kissed Cao Yu, and said: "I didn't expect that you and South Korea's richest woman would be so familiar with each other that they would open a company together."

"The richest woman?"

"That's the eldest princess of Samsung, Li Fuzhen."

"You're talking about her, that's too familiar."

Can Cao Yu and Li Fuzhen not be familiar with each other? The child is already born, how can we be familiar with it?
When Quan Zhixian saw Chairman Cao talking about Li Fuzhen, a touch of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly made a bold guess in his heart: "Could Chairman Cao and Princess Samsung have that kind of relationship?"

Suddenly, the look in Cao Yu's eyes was different.

It's not that I'm jealous, but I admire that I can have a relationship with a woman like Li Fuzhen. It turns out that the man's legs in front of me are thicker than I thought.

Such thick legs need to be hugged tightly...

After the concert, the company's artists returned to their original jobs, filming and singing.

On November 5th, EXO returned to the Music Bank stage.

Since the album "Roar" has been on the market for more than a month, it is far ahead in terms of audio downloads and physical album sales.

Not surprisingly, they easily won the first place, and their score was nearly half that of the second place.

The dynamic dance and melody, as well as the exquisite looks of the nine boys, make Bangzi fans seem to have regained their confidence in K-Pop.

Since then, EXO has won one title in various music programs, and has won three consecutive titles on Music Bank. Including popular songs, etc., they have won eleven championships this month.

On November 9th, T-ARA’s new album “NO.” promotional video was released.

On the same day, an e-commerce platform called "Utesco" was launched in the Korean market, and the entire South Korea was instantly flooded with advertisements endorsed by Jun Ji-hyun.

For a time, “Utesco” was everywhere on TV, radio, newspapers, outdoors, and online.

On November 9nd, the "NO." album was launched. In addition to being available for purchase at physical audio stores, the only online shopping platform is "Utesco".

With just one move, this platform attracted a large number of customers.

People are pleasantly surprised to find that this platform not only has a wide range of product types, but also has very favorable prices.

Mainly, the same-day and next-day delivery services are so convenient.

On the first day "Ulesco" went online, despite the pervasive advertising, the transaction volume was only more than 30 million won, which is more than 30,000 US dollars.

But on the third day, the price soared to nearly 200 million won, a five-fold increase. It became famous, surpassing COUPANG more than half a year after its establishment.

As for entertainment companies, on December 26, EXO’s situation of destroying the charts in major music programs was finally ended by T-ARA.

While people marveled at how powerful FNC was, they also lamented that Chairman Cho had created another divine song for Korean music.

EXO's "Roar" and T-ARA's "NO.9", two groups from the same company, were completely unstoppable in the last two months of the year.

At the same time, the new film "A League of Thieves" starring Jun Ji-hyun and Song Hye-kyo, who are currently in the limelight, has also begun to promote.

With two popular actresses as double heroines, Korean audiences have begun to look forward to this movie, but at the same time they feel that FNC is scary.

……

This time, Cao Yu stayed at Han Bang for a longer time.

On the one hand, it was to spend more time with Li Fuzhen and his third child, and also to appease the many girls here, he was a little reluctant to go home.

On this day, Cao Yu wandered outside Li Zhien's independent singing studio and opened the door casually.

"Xiao Zhien, how are you practicing the song "Blueming"?"

"OPPA"

Since Li Zhien boldly gave her first kiss to Cao Yu last time, she has been looking forward to growing up quickly every day.

Cao Yu looked at this girl who was already eighteen years old but still looked like a cute girl, and said with a smile: "I forgot to add the prefix again."

"I don't like Ga."

After Li Zhien finished speaking, he felt that it was not respectful enough, so he stuck out his tongue playfully and smiled: "OPPA, you gave me this song, I like it so much."

The little girl's pink tongue reminded Cao Yu of the girl's sweet first kiss last time.

However, he was not here to take advantage this time, so he smiled and said, "As long as you like it. When T-ARA and the others finish ranking, you will take over from them and achieve greater success."

Now that FNC's stock price continues to rise, Cao Yu plans to continue this bloodbath in the music industry.

"Well, I'll try my best."

Li Zhien agreed seriously, then took a step forward and said, "OPPA, can I kiss you? This will make me more motivated."

Cao Yu pinched her cheek: "If you don't let me kiss you, won't you have any motivation?"

"Then OPPA can kiss me?"

Li Zhien liked this kind of intimate gesture very much. He hugged Cao Yu's waist directly, raised his little face, and looked forward to it.

"Just a moment."

Seeing that the girl was looking forward to it, Cao Yu lowered his head and kissed her lips gently.

The girl's lips are still cool, sweet, and a bit like mint, just like her mint color, which is refreshing to the heart.

Now in FNC, IU's Lee Ji-eun has surpassed BoA in fame with her sweet appearance and excellent singing skills. She has become the company's leading solo singer and is also called the "national sister" by fans who love her.

Cao Yu actually likes this little girl, otherwise he wouldn't have been the first to recruit this girl into FNC.

And Li Zhien also knows that without Chairman Cao, he would not be where he is now.

Just when Li Zhien fell into a state of confusion and infatuation, the cell phone in Cao Yu's pocket vibrated crazily.

Cao Yu ignored it and continued to kiss Xiao Zhien, intending to let this girl kiss her enough at once.

But the phone vibrated for nearly a minute, finally stopped, and then started vibrating again.

"Is something wrong?"

Not many people knew Cao Yu's phone number. Cao Yu had a bad feeling about being able to call like this.

Gently letting go of Li Zhien, he took out his phone and found that there were two callers. One was Chen Chengjie, the general manager of the entertainment company.

And the other one turned out to be Yang Mi.

"???They called at the same time? What happened?"

He called Chen Chengjie back first.

As soon as the call was connected, I heard Chen Chengjie say anxiously: "Mr. Cao, it's bad, something happened."

Hearing the tone of the other party, Cao Yu reminded: "What's the matter? Speak slowly, the sky will not fall!"

Chen Jiecheng then said slowly: "Mr. Cao, a paparazzi from Xiangjiang broke the news on the Internet that Miss Liu Yifei gave birth to a child, and said that the father of the child may be you, Mr. Cao."

"Oh? Is this the case?"

Cao Yu was a little surprised. Logically speaking, it was impossible for the Sanatorium and Hospital to leak customer information.

"Yes, he also posted several photos online of Liu Yifei and her mother pushing a stroller while shopping."

"Okay, I see."

Cao Yu frowned, but his tone didn't sound worried.

However, he was thinking, could it be that someone really photographed Liu Yifei accidentally? Or did someone do it on purpose?
"Mr. Cao, do you want PR?"

"No need for now, just ignore it."

After Cao Yu finished speaking, he just hung up the phone. Before he could call Yang Mi back, the phone rang again. The caller this time was Liu Yifei herself.

"You practice singing first, I have something to do."

Cao Yu patted Li Zhien's head gently and prepared to return to his office.

"OPPA, go and do your work."

Li Zhien spoke Chinese well now. Knowing that the president was in a hurry, he nodded obediently.

Cao Yu quickly returned to the office and immediately dialed Liu Yifei: "Qianxi, do you know?"

"Brother Cao Yu, what should I do? I'm bored at home. I wanted to go shopping with my mother a few times. I was wearing a mask, but I didn't expect to be photographed."

Liu Yifei's voice was full of guilt.

"Sissi, I don't blame you, and don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Cao Yu first comforted Liu Yifei, and then asked: "Look at the photos that came out, when were they taken?"

"let me see"

After Liu Yifei saw the news on Weibo and the Internet, she was a little overwhelmed and called Cao Yu without looking carefully.

Now thinking about the few photos that were sent, he said: "Although I have been out a few times recently, judging from the clothes in the photos, it seems that they were taken at the end of October."

"End of October"

When Cao Yu heard about this date, he became even more suspicious that someone had done it.

Since the photos were taken at the end of October, why did they have to wait until early December to be exposed?

He thought for a moment and said, "Sissi, don't worry, tell Auntie too and I will handle this matter."

"Ah."

Liu Yifei agreed and then asked: "Brother Cao Yu, will this matter affect you?"

"It's fine."

Although it is not illegal to have children out of wedlock, it is definitely wrong in terms of Chinese people's moral perception and is considered a scandal.

Cao Yu understood that since this matter was exposed, it would definitely have an impact on him. He just said this because he didn't want Liu Yifei to worry.

When Liu Yifei heard what Cao Yu said, she felt slightly relieved and said, "Brother Cao Yu, I miss you."

"I'm going to see you in the next two days."

Cao Yu knew that this girl should be very anxious now, and he had to go to Xiangjiang.

Even if the villa where Liu Yifei lives is already full of reporters, they still want to stay with her.

This is a man's responsibility.

After the call, he sat in front of the computer, opened Weibo, and found that the matter was more serious than he thought.

On Weibo, the explosive news that Liu Yifei gave birth has topped the list of hot searches, and the screen is filled with explosive words.

"Surprise! The famous actress Liu Yifei gave birth to a son in Xiangjiang, and his father's identity is suspected to be the boss of an entertainment company."

"Actress Liu Yifei, who was once known as the fairy sister, was shopping with her children on the streets of Xiangjiang recently. After investigation, she had never been married before and was suspected of having given birth out of wedlock."

"Being pregnant before marriage is not allowed by morality. Liu Yifei, the father of the child, has not yet come out to clarify whether he wants to use money to solve the problem."

"Liu Yifei was rumored to be in a relationship with a certain rich man named Cao a few years ago. The identity of the father of her child is about to be revealed."

Cao Yu looked at these revelations on the Internet and felt like he almost said his name.

But despite the whistleblower, Chinese netizens were not polite in their comments under these posts, calling out the name "Cao Yu" directly.

Some people even scolded Cao Yu for being irresponsible.

As he watched, the phone rang again.

"Brother, it's hard to call your phone."

"Mimi, I know everything. It's okay. Don't worry."

"Brother, what are you going to do?"

"Cold salad."

In fact, Cao Yu hasn't figured out what to do yet.

For now, there are only two ways, either to deal with it coldly and wait for the limelight to pass naturally, or to register the marriage directly.

But he couldn't get married. After all, there were Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, and Jing Tian. If he got married, he would have to shoulder family responsibilities. Having an affair within marriage was unacceptable.

"Brother, everyone is so anxious."

Yang Mi was very concerned about this matter. She was afraid that Cao Yu would not be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion and register with Liu Yifei.

And she also wants to see how Cao Yu handles this matter. If she has children in the future, she will know it.

"Why are you anxious?" Cao Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry."

"Ok."

Yang Mi agreed and suddenly reminded: "Brother, you have to handle this matter carefully, because "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" will be released this month."

In China’s film market, the New Year’s Day schedule is also called the Lunar New Year schedule, which is a time period that major film companies must compete for.

Cao Yu arranged for the film "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" to be released during this period, along with Huayi's "If You Are the One 2".

"I know."

Hearing Yang Mi's reminder, Cao Yu nodded.

He probably already knew whether Liu Yifei's birth was an accident or someone had ulterior motives.

However, this is just a guess on his part, and there is currently no evidence to prove that it was Hua Yi who did it.

After hanging up the phone from Yang Mi, he was thinking about countermeasures when several messages came from Didi on his phone.

Lu Huateng: "Brother, congratulations. I gave birth to a son without saying a word. I will make up for the gift for my eldest nephew next time."

Liu Qiangdong: "It's okay. My boss is in the same situation as you. Don't pay attention to it. Everyone will forget about it gradually. Finally, congratulations to my brother."

Li Xiaoshuo: "My dear, Yutong has a younger brother. Why didn't you tell him earlier?"

Jing Tian: "Senior, will you get married?"

Zhao Liying: "My dear, I envy Sister Yifei so much."

Zhang Liangying: "My dear, if you get married, don't forget me."

Xu Jing: "Smelly brother, stinky brother, what do you want to do? Do you want sister to help?"

In addition to these people, Song Qian, Nazha, Ni Ni and others all sent messages, worried about whether Cao Yu would get married.

Even Zhang Tiannai and Mao Xiaotong, who had nothing to do with Cao Yu, and Li Yi, who surprised Cao Yu, also sent messages of concern.

It's just that Yang Ying, who is already very popular in variety shows, doesn't even have a greeting message.

"If we really get married, what will happen to these girls?"

Cao Yu looked at this information and shook his head helplessly.

Liu Yifei cannot be let down, and neither can these girls.

Yanjing.

Yang Shuxue sat quietly in the office, looking at the news on the Internet, with very complicated emotions.

She knew about Liu Yifei's existence and knew that it was impossible for her and Cao Yu to get married. She had tried hard to have a child in the past few years, but unfortunately she never got pregnant.

Now Liu Yifei has given birth to a child for Cao Yu. While she is envious, she is also happy for Cao Yu.

At the same time, it is inevitable to be a little jealous.

However, I am also a little worried about how Cao Yu will solve this matter.

"If he really gets married because of this child, will we just have a cooperative relationship in the future?"

Yang Shuxue knew very well that she was not careful about her age. Although she took good care of herself and looked less than forty, compared to the beautiful little girls in the entertainment industry, she was old after all...

After a long silence, she finally picked up the phone and dialed the familiar number.

When the call was connected, she said directly: "Xiaoyu, do you want me to find someone to help you suppress this matter?"

"Shu Xue."

Cao Yu didn't answer, he just shouted softly, but he didn't know what to say next.

Because he understood Yang Shuxue's current mood.

After rebirth, Yang Shuxue was his first woman, and it was she who pushed him to reach his current height.

He once wanted to have a child with Yang Shuxue, so that the relationship between the two would be fruitful, but unexpectedly it backfired.

Yang Shuxue didn't know about Li Xiaoshuo's affairs, but the child born to Liu Yifei could no longer be hidden.

"Xiaoyu, my dear, I know what you want to say. It doesn't matter to me. You want to have a family after all. It's normal to have a child."

On the phone, Yang Shuxue's voice was very soft, as if she didn't mind this matter at all: "But it's best to do some public relations, so as not to affect your future development, and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" will be released in half a month. Unfortunately, this will affect the box office.”

Listening to the gentle voice on the phone, Cao Yu finally said: "Sister Shu Xue, thank you, I owe you a lot."

"Haha, my dear, if you have this heart, that's enough."

Yang Shuxue smiled gently as usual and said: "How to decide the public relations matter? You are the richest man. If this matter is not handled well, the impact will be very bad."

"The title of the richest man is indeed a shackles!"

Cao Yu immediately gave a bitter smile and sighed, "No need for PR for now. The more we talk about this, the worse it will be."

"Okay, it's up to you. Just tell me what you need. I have some connections up there."

"Ah."

The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.

Cao Yu sat quietly on the chair, sorted out his thoughts, then found a number and dialed it.

"Boss Xiang, do me a favor and find out who instigated the paparazzi who exposed Liu Yifei's affairs."

"Boss Cao, leave this matter to me."

Xiang Huaqiang is influential in both the black and white circles of the Hong Kong entertainment industry. It is still very easy to find out the details of a paparazzi.

If it's done well, Boss Cao will still owe him a favor.
