China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 630 628. Yang Mi is a big shot, Boss Cao is very angry

China, Yanjing.

"It's finished!"

In the crew of "So Youth", Liu Yifei finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the director shout out this sentence.

Cao Yu went to the United States and handed over the production work of the film "So Young" to her. Now, there was finally no waste of time and the filming was completed at the end of August.

After the female lead Yang Mi finished filming her last scene, she came over with a small fan and complained, "Xixi, you are still comfortable. I am almost dying of heat from filming this scene."

Although the weather in Yanjing has turned slightly cooler in August, the daytime temperature is still over 30 degrees.

Although the tone sounded like a complaint, he was actually showing off.

Liu Yifei has basically been resting since she became pregnant, while Yang Mi has been both the boss and the leading actress in the past two years, which can be said to be a great success.

"Since the filming is already done, you can take a break for a while."

Liu Yifei could hear the boasting in Yang Mi's tone, and was too lazy to argue with her. While sorting out the materials, she smiled and said, "I envy you for having a movie to shoot."

Sure enough, this made Yang Mi even more proud, but she was still modest: "What is there to be envious of? I was not originally destined to be the protagonist of this play. I fought hard to get it."

As she spoke, she leaned back in her chair, raised her feet and asked her assistant to help her take off her shoes. She continued chatting with Liu Yifei: "I heard that Brother Cao Yu is coming back. Did he tell you? When will he arrive in Yanjing?"

Just as Liu Yifei was about to answer, she heard someone speaking from a distance: "Mr. Cao, you're back."

Liu Yifei and Yang Mi were immediately delighted, turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, and sure enough, they found that Cao Yu was walking towards them.

However, the lover, who usually always had a smiling face, had a gloomy face this time.

"???"

Liu Yifei thought Cao Yu had encountered something unhappy, and she felt a little concerned and distressed.

Cao Yu walked straight to Yang Mi and said angrily with a cold face: "Don't you have hands?"

"???"

Yang Mi was stunned. Why was her brother so angry? It seemed that it was because I asked someone to help me take off my shoes?
Seeing Yang Mi still looking surprised, Cao Yu got even angrier and shouted, "Now that you're famous and rich, you don't even know your last name or your name anymore? Now you can't even take off your shoes?"

Yang Mi's face immediately turned red.

On the one hand, there were quite a few staff members here, and she felt embarrassed as a first-line star being scolded in public.

On the other hand, he felt wronged because this was the first time Cao Yu had taught him a lesson like this.

She quickly explained, "I just finished filming, I was tired and hot, my feet were a little sweaty, so I asked my assistant to help me."

"The assistant is just your assistant, not your maid. Why should you let him do these things?"

Cao Yu became even angrier. If you did something wrong, just apologize and change it next time. I didn’t expect you to quibble?
Yang Mi felt like crying after hearing what she said and dared not say a word anymore.

Yang Mi's assistant was a student who had just graduated. Hearing this, he felt grateful.

When I think back to when I was in school, many of my classmates were fans of Boss Cao. I couldn’t understand it at the time, but now it seems that Boss is a really nice person.

Seeing her boyfriend so angry, Liu Yifei had to come over and persuade him, "Brother Cao Yu, Mimi doesn't act like this often. It's really hot today and filming is hard. Let's forget about it this time."

"Humph!"

Cao Yu didn't want to embarrass Yang Mizhen, so he snorted and said, "Apologize to the assistant. If I see you like this again, I will never forgive you!"

"Ah."

Yang Mi is definitely a first-line star now, but in front of Cao Yu, she could only nod obediently, then bowed to the assistant and said, "I'm sorry."

"Sister Mi, no need, really no need."

Although the assistant was touched that the boss stood up for him, he still waved his hands quickly.

Her main concern was losing her job.

"She should apologize to you. If there is anything in the future, you can tell the company, or tell me directly."

Cao Yu gave the girl a shot of encouragement, and then said to Yang Mi and Liu Yifei: "You two have worked hard during this period."

"It's not hard."

Yang Mi felt a little better, and came over and said with a smile: "Brother, how did you do in the United States this time?"

"Good."

Cao Yu did not say much about what happened in the United States, and said again: "Xixi, Mimi, you two have studios. From now on, no matter if it is an artist from the company or from your studio, you are not allowed to act like a big shot, otherwise I will not give you resources."

"understood."

Although Yang Mi agreed, she didn't understand in her heart, many people in the entertainment industry are like this now, why should she be scolded?
"Let's go back together."

Seeing that Yang Mi's attitude was still correct, Cao Yu was no longer angry.

But he must curb this kind of star-studded behavior. Being an artist is just a profession and one should not appear to be superior to others.

On the way back, Yang Mi sat next to Cao Yu, hugged Cao Yu's arm intimately, and reported on the work during this period: "Brother, "Zhu Xian" is about to be completed. What kind of drama will our studio shoot next time?"

"You should take a break first."

Cao Yu intended to teach this girl a lesson and did not tell her his plan.

Hearing that she had to take a break, Yang Mi acted like a spoiled child: "Brother, I know I was wrong and I won't do it again."

"Then I'll wait and see."

After Cao Yu finished speaking, he ignored Yang Mi and turned to Liu Yifei and said, "Xixi, I plan to shoot "Mulan" this year and let Zhang Yimou be the director. Do you have confidence in starring in Mulan?"

On the way back from the United States, Cao Yu thought about it. Zhang Yimou made "The Great Wall" because someone wanted to promote Jing Tian, ​​so it should be no problem for him to make "Mulan" for Liu Yifei.

Moreover, the script of this movie was written by himself, and the plot was basically adapted from the story of "The Ballad of Mulan". It was not made into a fantasy film just to please foreigners.

Liu Yifei immediately said happily: "Okay."

Just now Yang Mi was bragging about the fact that she had filmed "So Young", and now Brother Cao Yu is about to give her such a big-budget movie.

It turns out that my lover is the best.

"Hua Mulan?"

Yang Mi immediately felt jealous. She had heard of this project before. It was said that it would require an investment of about 200 million yuan, which was much more high-end than her own low-budget "So Young".

She immediately shook Cao Yu's arm: "Brother, I want one too."

"You can tell me next year."

In fact, on his way back to China, Cao Yu had already made arrangements for Yang Mi, which was to let her star in next year's "Transformers 4".

It’s just that this girl is acting like a big shot now. If we don’t let her know how powerful we are, what will happen in the future?

"Brother, don't be mad at me."

Yang Mi begged pitifully, "At worst, Xixi and I can accompany you at night."

"You mean if I don't give you a good role, you won't compensate me tonight?"

"Yes, of course I will. I've been missing you so much that I can't sleep at night."

"As long as you perform well during this period, I will definitely not let you down next year."

Cao Yu still didn't tell the girl about his plan to avoid making her proud.

At this time, Liu Yifei suddenly said, "Brother Cao Yu, I heard from Zheng Shuang that you changed her role last time. Was it because she didn't perform well?"

Cao Yu asked: "Zheng Shuang? How is she doing recently?"

"She's been helping me lately and has been pretty diligent, but she seems to be worried. I guess it's because you've replaced her role."

Liu Yifei leaned on Cao Yu and said, "She is also an artist of my studio and she has to help me make money. If there is a suitable role, give her a chance."

Cao Yu touched Liu Yifei's face affectionately: "My Xixi is really kind. For your sake, I will consider it."

"A biased ghost!"

Yang Mi felt even more jealous. They are all your women, so why is there such a big difference in their treatment?

Is it because she gave you a son?

Then I can give birth too!
"Thank you, Brother Cao Yu. I will tell her the news when I get back."

"Don't be anxious yet. Let's observe for a while. Let her take part in the company's acting assessment this quarter and see how she performs."

Cao Yu was not angry that Zheng Shuang wanted to throw herself into his arms, but because there was something wrong with her.

To be honest, there is never a shortage of beauties in the entertainment industry. Although Zheng Shuang is not bad looking, there are always plenty of pretty girls.

The girl must have been anxious, and she knew very well that if she kept wasting time, her opportunities would become fewer and fewer, so she came to Liu Yifei for help.

As long as you are humble and cautious, you can be given a chance.

The three returned to the company. Liu Yifei and Yang Mi went to take care of the studio's affairs, while Cao Yu called the company's executives to a meeting.

Cai Yinong took the lead in reporting: "Boss Cao, Joy of Life and Legend of Zhen Huan will be finished in September and will be broadcast early next year if nothing goes wrong. After these two dramas are finished, should we prepare for Startling by Each Step and Xuan-Yuan Sword?" "Sure!"

Cao Yu had no objection to this arrangement. As long as Liu Shishi's acting skills and lines were up to standard, he would let her take on a leading role.

“How about Under the Hawthorn Tree and Wolf Warrior?”

"Boss Cao, we are all in post-production. Wolf Warrior is almost done. Under the Hawthorn Tree will probably take another two months. Love Is Not Blind will also be done in October."

Chen Jiecheng was reporting on the progress of the film when Cao Yu's secretary came over and whispered, "Boss Cao, there's a screenwriter named Yu Zheng who wants to meet you. Do you want to make an appointment later or meet him later?"

"Yu Chaochao?"

When Cao Yu heard the name, he looked up and asked, "What is he doing here?"

"He said he had a script and wanted to work with you."

"Let him wait in the reception room."

After Cao Yu finished speaking, he said to Chen Jiecheng: "Go on."

The company's several films this year are all progressing in an orderly manner without any major problems.

After Chen Jiecheng finished his report, he said worriedly, "Boss Cao, Huayi's 1942 was also finished some time ago. I heard it will be released during the Lunar New Year holiday. However, we only have two small-budget movies, The Blade of the Assassin and So Young, on New Year's Day. Isn't that a bit..."

What he meant was that Huayi had invested heavily in this film, and had talented actors such as Zhang Guoli, Chen Daoming, and Li Xuejian joining in.

Although Feiyu has two movies, they are basically starred by young actors and young directors, so I am afraid that the box office will lose to Huayi.

"Don't worry."

Cao Yu is aware of the box office performance of "1942". Even if "The Blade of the Assassin" cannot compare to it, can "So Young" also not compare to it?

"Ok."

Although Chen Jiecheng didn't know where his boss' confidence came from, he didn't know what to say.

After everyone finished their reports, Cao Yu finally said: "Next year we have five films to shoot: The Return of the Great Sage, The Donkey, The Love Flower, Lost in Thailand, and Mulan. Everyone should continue to work hard, do their job well, and strive to make Feiyu go further!"

"Five?"

When everyone heard this, they all became excited.

With such output, perhaps only Feiyu Entertainment has the ability to do so in the entertainment industry now.

After the meeting, Cao Yu came to the reception room and saw the legendary Yu Ma as expected.

"Mr. Cao, I have heard of you for a long time, and today I finally meet you."

When Yu Zheng saw Boss Cao come in, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a very respectful attitude, fearing that his script would not be favored.

"Writer Yu, I've heard of you too. The "Legend of Chu Liuxiang" you wrote is pretty good."

Cao Yu and Yu Zheng shook hands symbolically, then sat down with a big smile and said, "I heard you have a script?"

"Yes, I just finished the script. Mr. Cao, please take a look at it first."

Seeing Boss Cao praising him, Yu Zheng felt that his script might have potential, and excitedly he took out a script from his bag and handed it over with both hands.

He had just finished writing this script not long ago, and has been asking his friends to find out when Boss Cao will be back.

Today I heard someone say that they met Boss Cao in a film crew in Yanjing, so I hurried over to present my script.

"Palace Lock and Bead Curtain?"

When Cao Yu saw the name of this drama, he almost laughed out loud.

How dare you show me such a crappy movie?
He only glanced at it a few times and felt that many of the plots were similar to "The Legend of Zhen Huan". He immediately threw the script on the table and said, "Why do I feel that this is similar to the plot in "The Legend of Zhen Huan"?"

"Boss Cao, it's just reference, reference!"

Yu Zheng didn't expect this to happen, and quickly explained: "And many of them are my original creations. Would you like to take a look at them, Mr. Cao?"

The plot of this script is indeed somewhat inspired by "The Legend of Zhen Huan". He felt that Feiyu's "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was about to be completed, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. Maybe Boss Cao would be willing to make some money.

Unexpectedly, Boss Cao had no interest at all.

"I won't watch it anymore. I won't invest in such a rubbish script."

"Mr. Cao, I believe your company's "The Legend of Zhen Huan" will definitely be a hit. This is a good opportunity to make some money."

“That’s not how you make money!”

Cao Yu snorted, "If you dare to give this script to someone else, just wait for the lawyer's letter."

"."

Hearing that Boss Cao was serious, Yu Zheng felt relieved. If he gave the script to someone else to shoot, he might really get into trouble.

How can I fight against Boss Cao's current influence in the entertainment industry?
Just as I was worrying, I heard Cao Yu say, "You can actually write some martial arts scripts, but don't write too much about love and romance. It's best if you can embody the spirit of martial arts. I'm actually very interested in martial arts."

Although Yu Zheng's "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and "Swordsman" are very melodramatic, whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, they are either in love or on the way to love.

But these two films are quite popular and are most suitable for training newcomers. Besides, there are some good points in these two films, so it doesn't matter if they are just shot casually.

Just consider it as a practice for Yang Mi and Liu Yifei's studios.

Yu Zheng was overjoyed. He was most comfortable with the script template, so he immediately agreed, "No problem. I'll go back and prepare it right away. Once I'm done, I'll give it to Mr. Cao for review as soon as possible."

"Okay, let's go."

After Yu Zheng left, Cao Yu returned to the office, thinking about the films that Yu Zheng had participated in.

Although there are many rubbish, there seems to be a decent one called "Legend of Lu Zhen", which seemed to have been released in the past two years and starred Zhao Liying.

He immediately asked his secretary to talk to Cai Yinong and see if there was any script for this play.

According to the plan for next year, only two TV series have been confirmed, plus "Legend of Lu Zhen", there will be exactly three, and the output is about the same as this year.

Zhao Liying has been much more obedient than Yang Mi in the past two years. She always praises others and has somewhat neglected this girl. Before filming "Knowing Your Destiny", she should boost her popularity a little.

After arranging these things, Cao Yu leaned back comfortably in his chair and picked up the report on the table.

"The final box office of Ip Man 2 was million, which is not bad. Your Name grossed billion in China, breaking the box office record for animated films, and the global box office was million US dollars."

After reading it, Cao Yu sent an email to Chen Chengjie: "At the end of September, use the gimmick of the once-in-a-century Double Eleven on November 2011, 11, to promote Love Is Not Blind."

……

The coffee shop upstairs in Feiyu Company.

"I heard that the boss is back and announced that he will shoot five movies next year."

"Really? Really five movies? Then can I get a chance to be on the big screen for the first time?"

"It's probably difficult. Even Zhao Liying and Shen Lanlan are still filming TV series. You still want to make a movie? Do you think you are Ni Ni?"

"I also want to be Ni Ni"

"Do you have the same line skills as others?"

"What's wrong with the lines? Yang Mi and Liu Shishi's lines are just so-so, they can be used in movies."

……

Three women make a play, and when five or six girls get together, it becomes a bigger play.

They were discussing the company's plans for next year.

"Can you compare with Boss Yang? Putting aside her acting skills, how good is Boss Yang to her? He gave her investment and opened a studio."

"But I heard from people that Liu Shishi's lines have improved a lot."

"The boss likes people who are motivated, so work hard."

"That's true. I played a minor role in Love Is Not Blind this time, and I found that the dance troupe's leader, Song Qian, had an extraordinary performance in this drama."

"I heard that it was the boss's personal instruction."

"I really envy…"

Hearing this, the other girls all showed envious expressions.

I don’t know whether I envy the fact that my boss can guide my acting skills, or I envy the fact that guiding my acting skills is a possible thing.

Not far from this group of girls, Zhang Tianai was also drinking tea and taking a break, memorizing her lines.

In September, the company will have a quarterly acting review, and she must be well prepared and not let her boss down.

Although I was some distance away from the chattering girls, some of their words still got through to my ears.

"Ni Ni...Song Qian..."

Thinking about the possible relationship between these two people and the boss, she drank the tea in one gulp, and then walked towards the boss's office with her head held high without any hesitation...
