China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 629 627. Which one is better, Japanese girl or Western girl?
Cao Yu knew that the boss of Warner Bros. was trying to win him over because he had high hopes for his ability as a screenwriter.

A good movie is basically half successful as long as it has a good script.

As long as there is a good script, the rest is not a problem for big Hollywood companies.

Cao Yu has created countless miracles and glories over the years, all because he is the Oscar-winning best screenwriter.

However, Cao Yu strongly disagreed with a concept the other party mentioned.

How can Western girls be as good as Japanese girls?
Japanese girls are gentle and will do whatever you ask them to do, and they will also let you enjoy the happiness of being a master.

This kind of happiness can never be experienced with Western girls. Not only do some Western girls have a strong body odor, but they also have a lot of body hair and are not smooth at all.

The only advantage is that he can fight Cao Yu on equal terms.

However, he did not directly reject Kevin's kindness, but joked: "Japanese girls have their own advantages, and Western girls have their own advantages. They each have their own strengths."

Warner CEO Kevin Tsujihara laughed heartily and said, "Haha, that's true."

When talking about women, the relationship between men naturally becomes a lot closer.

But Cao Yu didn't want to talk about women, so he said, "I'm thinking about a few scripts recently, and there will be opportunities for our two families to cooperate in the future."

"That's great. In terms of strength, Warner Bros. is no worse than Universal. We will definitely have a pleasant cooperation."

In the past six months, Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures have been competing fiercely, and Kevin really wants to snatch Cao Yu to his side, including the distribution rights of Marvel movies in the United States.

Although Marvel can produce movies, it has always been cooperating with Universal Pictures in terms of distribution.

This piece of cake is not small, and Warner has long wanted to grab a piece of it.

Seeing Cao Yu remained silent, Kevin smiled and said, "There happens to be a high-end cocktail party tonight, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Not tonight, I have a female companion with me."

This time Cao Yu refused with a smile. He really had little interest in Western women.

It's okay to experience it occasionally, but too much is not good.

"it's a pity."

Seeing that Cao Yu was not interested at all, Kevin had to say, "I hope to cooperate with Boss Cao as soon as possible. If you need any help from Warner in the future, just tell me directly."

"Actually, there is a small matter."

Cao Yu thought of the little rose Natalie and said with a smile, "I heard that the second season of Game of Thrones is casting. I know a good girl here. Can I go for an audition?"

"Of course, I'll just let HBO know."

Warner Bros. and HBO both belong to the same parent company, so naturally they can have a say.

In front of Cao Yu, Kevin immediately called the boss of HBO. It happened that "Game of Thrones" was selecting actors for new roles in the second season, and Rose was among them.

After talking for a few minutes, Kevin hung up the phone and said to Cao Yu, "It's agreed that the actor you mentioned can go for an audition tomorrow."

"Thank you then."

Cao Yu stood up and was about to say goodbye.

"Really not going to the cocktail party? Emma, ​​the actress from Harry Potter, is also there, maybe there's a chance for us to meet Boss Cao."

"I really don't have time this time, maybe next time."

Although Cao Yu wanted to meet the legendary Hermione, Song Zue and Disha were still in the hotel, so he refused again, stood up and said goodbye.

When I returned to the hotel, I saw Disha teaching Song Zue English.

"How come these two people have such a good relationship?"

Cao Yu put down his coat, took a sip of water, and then said, "I have something to do, so I won't be back tonight."

"no!"

Song Zu'e immediately came over and grabbed Cao Yu: "Are you out fooling around again?"

"I have some work to do. How can you, a little girl, be so nosy? After coming to the United States, do you really think you are the Pacific police?"

Cao Yu really wanted to meet Xiao Meigui at night, and it was not wrong to say that they were just fooling around, but he certainly couldn't admit it.

Song Zue said, "I am helping sister Disha to take care of you, don't you want to accompany her?"

"Not bad, now you are standing up for Disha?"

"Sister Disha taught me English and dance. She is a very nice person."

"Then you study hard."

Cao Yu smiled and said to Disha, "You guys go to bed early at night. I will try my best to come back."

Disha is much older than Song Zue, and can’t treat Cao Yu like a little girl, so she said with concern: “Dear, then you should be careful.”

"Ah."

After Cao Yu left, he went straight to the hotel lobby and booked another suite not far from the previous house, and then called the little rose Natalie.

"Cao, have you come to the United States?"

"I'm in New York, and you?"

"What a coincidence, I'm also in New York, are you free that night?"

"Of course."

"I'll be right there, Cao, which hotel are you in?"

Little Rose Natalie felt a little excited when she heard Cao Yu's voice.

She has been in New York these days, waiting to audition for the role of Little Rose in the second season of Game of Thrones.

Although Cao Yu had said that he would arrange this role for her before, she was worried that Cao Yu was not in the United States, so she planned to audition herself first. If she failed, it would not be too late to find Cao Yu later.

I didn't expect that he would come and still not forget me.

Cao Yu told her the name of the hotel and the room, and Natalie arrived in less than half an hour.

"My Chinese Knight, I really miss you."

"is it?"

Anyway, Westerners are open-minded, and as for this kind of fleeting romance, Cao Yu just wants to change his taste occasionally.

After they finished making out, Cao Yu smiled and said, "I've already told HBO that as long as you don't perform too badly in the audition tomorrow, there will be no problem."

Natalie said contentedly, "I thought you had forgotten about it. I wanted to try it myself first."

"How could I forget you, little beauty?"

Although Cao Yu praised her like this, he still felt that oriental girls were more suitable for him.

Although foreign horses are good, they cannot be ridden all the time.

Natalie suddenly crawled in front of Cao Yu and said, "Cao, actually I'm shopping with a British friend today, would you like to help her?"

"your friend?"

"Yes, her name is the same as mine, also Natalie, and her last name is Emmanuel. She's here for the audition as well. Do you want to meet her?"

"Oh?"

Cao Yu actually knew this person, the one who played Missandei in "Game of Thrones".

Although she has dark skin, she has a great figure. After all, he has seen the uncensored version.

However, he wanted to give the role of Missandei to Disha, so he said, "Forget it, there's no need to get to know each other."

"She has a great body?"

"How does it compare to you?"

"Of course it's better than me, and the skin is still brown."

"No need."

Cao Yu still refused.

The next morning, she and Natalie headed to HBO.

Sure enough, Natalie's outstanding appearance and sexy and charming features completely met Little Rose's requirements, and she was hired immediately after the audition.

After the audition, Cao Yu also recommended Disha to HBO boss Casey Bloys.

After reading the information, Casey recognized Disha as the heroine of the movie "Slumdog Millionaire" and immediately smiled knowingly.

A wealthy man like Boss Cao would go all the way for this girl. The two must have some kind of close relationship. He immediately decided: "She is very suitable for Missandei in the third season. Let her sign the contract next year."

Regardless of the business cooperation between the two parties or the relationship between Cao Yu and Warner, this face must be given.

Although the number of views of the first season of Game of Thrones was not as high as expected, Cao Yu was very clear that the film would become a global hit.

If Disha plays the role, she will surely be liked by many people.

Originally, Natalie wanted to accompany Cao Yu for two more days, but the second season of "Game of Thrones" basically maintained the cast of the first season, with only a few new characters added. After signing the contract, she would go to Europe with the crew, so she could only accompany the knight of her dreams next time.

In the next few days, Cao Yu confirmed the projects of the two films "Iron Man 3" and "Guardians of the Galaxy" at Marvel, and arranged the publicity and distribution plan for "The Avengers". At the same time, he found time to write the script of "Jurassic World", which has a box office of over billion.

"The Avengers" has an investment of 2.2 million yuan and is currently the largest movie invested by Marvel. Cao Yu cannot but pay attention to it.

Only if the first film becomes famous can we make better sequels in the future.

The third and fourth films in this series grossed over 2 billion US dollars each.

After this series is finished, Marvel will probably sell it.

China.

"Finished!"

On the set of the movie "1942", when the last shot was finished, Feng Xiaogang shouted and all kinds of fireworks were fired at him.

"Director Feng, we've finally wrapped up, it was a great shoot."

Wang Zhonglei came over, patted Feng Xiaogang on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "But Director Feng, it's almost the end of August now, so we have to speed up the editing process. We will try to release it during the Lunar New Year holiday."

"Boss Wang, don't worry, there will be no problem with the Lunar New Year holiday. There will definitely be no problem this year."

Feng Xiaogang is full of confidence in "1942" this time, and he is proud: "I have already made connections in advance."

"That's good."

Wang Zhonglei nodded, then said worriedly, "No, I heard that Feiyu's Lunar New Year film schedule this year is for two movies, "The Blade" and "So Young", and Zhang Yimou's "Under the Hawthorn Tree" has not yet been scheduled for release."

At this point, he suddenly remembered something and added, "I also heard from a friend that Mr. Cao is in the United States recently. It seems that Marvel also has a movie called "Avengers" scheduled to be released on Christmas. It is said that this movie has an investment of 2.2 million US dollars. We must not take it lightly."

"I know about "The Blade of the Assassin" and "So Young", which are low-budget films directed by new directors. Can they be compared with our "1942"? How much did we invest? How much did they invest?
As for The Avengers, no matter how strong this movie is, it can only be regarded as a Hollywood movie, what's the point of making it!"

Given Feng Xiaogang's experience in the entertainment industry, he was not afraid since he had hardly heard of Lu Yang.

After lighting a cigarette, he said with a smile: "Boss Wang, didn't you always call Cao Yu Cao Zei before? Why do you call him Boss Cao now? It seems that you have a good relationship."

"."

Wang Zhonglei was a little embarrassed and said, "He and I had conflicts before, but now we have resolved them. Maybe we can cooperate in the future. Of course, I have to call him Mr. Cao."

"Cooperation? Isn't it just about having money? We are not short of money either. We just want "1942". Do we need to cooperate with him?"

In his heart, Feng Xiaogang was still somewhat dissatisfied with Cao Yu, thinking that he was only willing to accept Cao Yu's proposal because he was handsome and rich and the audience regarded him as an idol.

Wang Zhonglei couldn't explain the privacy involved, so he could only say, "Well, if you make "1942" well, the company will depend on you."

Although Huayi has three films this year and its output is not low, Wang Zhonglei is also clear that if the company wants to turn around, it still has to rely on Feng Xiaogang.

Feng Xiaogang stamped out his cigarette after taking a few puffs and asked, "When will the company's two movies, LOVE and Tai Chi from Zero, be released?"

"One is scheduled for this year's Singles' Day, which happens only once in a century, and the other is scheduled for the Spring Festival."

"That's good. It would be great if we could beat Cao Yu at the box office!"

In the past two years, Feng Xiaogang's films have always been suppressed by Feiyu, and this feeling makes him extremely uncomfortable.

"Hey"

Wang Zhonglei had no choice but to accept Feng Xiaogang's decision.

Feng Xiaogang asked again: "I heard that Director Chen Kai is preparing another film recently. How is it going now?"

"You mean The Search?"

Wang Zhonglei immediately laughed and said, "Director Chen doesn't dare to shoot blockbusters now, so he can only shoot urban films like this. He is currently casting, and I heard that the actress Gao Yuanyuan has been confirmed."

Feng Xiaogang said: "There are many beautiful girls. When "1942" becomes a big hit, we will sign a few more actors with potential and train them well."

“Beautiful actress.”

Hearing this, Wang Zhonglei also lit a cigarette and took a long puff.

My eldest brother said that after signing the new actor, I can’t do anything about it, so Cao Yu has to give it a bargain.

It's so frustrating, but there's nothing I can do.

America.

After finishing his work at Marvel, Cao Yu left New York and returned to Los Angeles.

He first sent Disha to school, and then gave the Jurassic World script that he had worked on during this period to Universal Pictures.

After reading it, Bob was overjoyed.

Universal is preparing to shoot the fourth film in the "Jurassic Park" series this year, but the film was not satisfactory with the previous scripts and is still being revised.

But the script Cao Yu sent could actually be used directly without any modification.

The plot is good, the gimmicks are good, and it's not the clichéd plot where humans and monsters fight from beginning to end.

The plot even includes family reunions, brotherhood, and the brilliance of human nature of ordinary people. If it is filmed, it will definitely remind the audience of the once popular "Jurassic".

"Cao, don't worry, I will start preparing this film now. This Chinese girl..."

Bob said, looking at Song Zue: "This girl is very good. I will let you know when the filming starts soon."

"That's it. I will return home in three days."

Cao Yu has been in the United States for almost a month. In another week, Song Zue will start school and he will have to go back.

But before going back, he planned to visit the manor under construction to see the progress of the project.

On the way, he began to consider the releases of movies this year and next year.

There are no major problems with Hollywood's several films, and next year may still be a bumper year.

However, as for Feiyu Entertainment, the only films that have been confirmed so far are "The Return of the Great Sage", "Duds", "Lost in Thailand", and "Lost in Thailand", which is indeed a bit less than this year's output.

"Let's wait and see when we get back to China. There are too many comedies next year. We should postpone "Charlotte's Troubles" and "Detective Chinatown". If that doesn't work, we can just postpone "Knife of the Assassin 2". What kind of movie should we arrange for director Zhang Yimou to do?"

I was sitting in the car thinking about it when suddenly Song Zue beside me shouted in surprise: "Godfather, is this the house you said was being built?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"It's such a large area. Is it all yours?"

The manor that Cao Yu wanted to build was still under construction. It was just a prototype at the moment, but its scale still surprised Song Zue.

In China, owning a villa is considered wealthy.

But when I came to the United States, I found out that my godfather actually had such a large area in the United States to build a house.

He is really super rich.

Cao Yu was too lazy to explain to the little girl that it was difficult to bring back the money earned in the United States, and he estimated that she would not understand.

Since we can’t bring them back, we might as well spend them and import some building materials from China, which will better help the domestic economy.

"Godfather, when it's finished, can I live here?"

"If you're good, you can consider it."

"I must be a good person."

Cao Yu inspected the manor under construction. The building materials here, even those produced in Southeast Asia, were all imported from China through re-export trade.

In addition, all the workers and architects are Chinese.

Anyway, the benefits will stay in the family.

"School is about to start, let's go back home tomorrow."

After the inspection, Cao Yu did not delay any longer and prepared to return home.

Song Zu'e was still not satisfied: "I haven't had enough fun yet. I heard Hawaii is nice, but we haven't been there yet."

"Next time."

"OK then."

Song Zu'e pouted her lips, looking reluctant to leave.

After all, following Cao Yu, I ate the best, had the best fun, and went to wealthy places. Although I saw homeless people, they were not many.

On the plane, Song Zue looked at the distant American continent and had an indescribable feeling.

After a moment of silence, he said to Cao Yu, "That Disha is a nice girl. She is not only pretty, but also a good dancer. Will you marry her in the future?"

"emm..."

Disha is indeed a good girl. She also taught him authentic yoga personally. It is very difficult for Cao Yu to arrange this girl.

But getting married is impossible, not in this life.

He looked out the window and whispered, "Probably not... I don't plan to get married."

"Not getting married?"

Song Zu'e was stunned and thought, "Does godfather mean that I can have many girlfriends without getting married?"
