China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 634: 632: It is not okay to think about it, and it is also a sin to think about it

When Cao Yu arrived at the company the next day, he immediately called a meeting with several senior executives from Feiyu Entertainment and Fei'e Video to arrange the music show.

"Next summer, our Feiyu Entertainment and Fei'e Video platforms will join hands with Penguin Weibo to create a music show called "Huaxia Music Show."

Cao Yu took out the plan he had discussed with Yang Shuxue last night and announced, "For this project, I will be the general manager, Chen Chengjie will assist me, Xu Yi will be the general manager, Zhang Liangying will be the general manager, and Li from the variety show department will be the general manager. The three of you will be the project managers, and we will work together to make this program a success."

As he spoke, he asked his secretary to distribute the printed rough plan.

Except for Jane Zhang, everyone felt that it was nothing when they heard that their boss was going to make a music show. But after seeing the plan, they were surprised to find that it would be broadcast live, and it would be broadcast weekly.

The boss’s idea is too unrealistic. Can such a program be successful in China?
The main thing is that this program doesn’t cooperate with the TV station, so what should we do?
Cao Yu glanced at everyone and asked, "Any questions?"

"No."

The boss has already written the plan, so naturally no one dares to raise any questions.

"it is good."

Cao Yu said, looking at the HR manager: "This project is very important to the company. We need to recruit experienced photographers, lighting, stage planners, stage designers, on-site dispatchers, etc. In addition, we also need to recruit some hosts. This matter will be handed over to you and Mr. Li from the Variety Department to do together."

"Ah."

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Xu, you are responsible for the purchase of equipment. Also, Mr. Zhang Jingying, after the Human Resources Department has recruited the personnel, you will lead the team to Korea to study for a period of time."

Cao Yu arranged everything and finally said, "Next year we may rent a stage to host this show, but I have already discussed with Huanyu Real Estate to build a professional Feiyu Theater. By then, our show will become China's first truly first music platform!"

When everyone heard that the boss even built the stage himself, it seemed that the investment in this project was at least 1 billion.

The boss is determined to create an unprecedented precedent in China.

However, thinking of the ancient style girl group Qiduo that debuted in South Korea, they suddenly felt that this project might be possible.

But Zhang Jingying felt a little conflicted at this time.

I just had a small suggestion, but it caused Cao Yu to invest more than ten billion. If it succeeded, it would be fine. But if it failed and made the boss lose so much money, wouldn't I be a sinner?

Although Cao Yu is the overall person in charge, he only needs to look at the results, and the main tasks are done by other people.

The next day, Feiyu’s recruitment information appeared in newspapers, Weibo, and Fei’e Video, which immediately caused quite a stir in the circle, with people coming to apply for the job in an endless stream every day.

This also includes some people who resigned from the TV station specifically for this purpose.

Although Feiyu Entertainment is not part of the system, the treatment is not bad at all. Five insurances and one fund are all included. In addition to salary, performance and bonuses are much higher than those of other companies.

Who wouldn’t want to work for a big company known as a fish factory in the industry?

Shuimu University.

A girl named Xiaotian has now become a college student.

Two years ago, she became an Internet celebrity because of a photo of her holding a cup of milk tea and became the milk tea girl in the minds of many men.

Although her popularity has declined now, she is still the focus of many boys' attention in school with her outstanding looks.

After the military training, she and her classmates were drinking water on the playground.

A classmate who was browsing Weibo suddenly said, "Feiyu Entertainment is going to launch a music show similar to Korea's Music Bank. They are recruiting talents now, and there are so many people applying."

Another girl heard that it was about a music show, so she came over to look at the photos and exclaimed, "Wow, there are so many handsome men and beautiful women."

The first girl said, "Of course. I heard they were looking for a host, so how could there not be any beauties?"

As she spoke, she looked at Xiaotian and said with a smile, "It's a pity that none of these people seem as pretty as our Xiaotian."

Zhang Xiaotian had been listening to her classmates' conversation. She clearly remembered the young boss who came to the school and invited her to star in a movie two years ago.

Two years later, the boss had become the richest man in Asia, a famous entrepreneur, and the ideal prince charming in the eyes of many girls.

As she was recalling the situation, a classmate said, "Xiaotian, why don't you try to apply for the position of host of Feiyu, which is a multinational company."

Xiaotian pretended to be disdainful and said, "I'm only a freshman, why should I be a host? I need to study hard."

"This is a chance to meet Boss Cao Yu."

"Not interested in"

Xiaotian looked away with disdain.

But I was thinking, if I become a host next year or the year after, will Boss Cao still remember me?
Not far from her, there were many freshmen who were also participating in military training, looking at her from time to time.

These people are all the chosen ones from all over the country, and they are top students. But in Xiaotian's opinion, Boss Cao is more attractive.

…………

On September 9, Cao Yu was looking at the information of those applying for the host position on his computer.

"Liu Yan also came to apply for the job"

He made a mark under Liu Yan's information and just sent it to the Human Resources Department when his email suddenly reminded him that he had received a new email from Guo Xiaosi.

He opened his email and saw the new script of "Tiny Times".

This time Cao Yu read it more carefully and found that the new script was well revised, especially those scenes of showing off wealth, which were deleted wherever possible. In addition, a plot that boycotted consumerism and promoted hard work and progress was added to the plot.

In the new plot, Lin Xiao, as a child of an ordinary family, disdains Gu Li's flaunting of wealth, sticks to his principles, and is not influenced by material things.
Through the protagonist's mouth, it is also judged that those foreign brand-name bags and luxury goods are all scams for fools.

"The changes are pretty sloppy."

After reading it, Cao Yu nodded, made some changes based on the most criticized points after the film was released that year, and then replied to Guo Xiaosi: The project will be launched next year!
After sending the email, Cao Yu read the script again and sneered, "Just wait and see what happens to those foreign luxury goods!"

September 12, Mid-Autumn Festival.

The "Jiangmen Moon, Chinese Love" Mid-Autumn Festival Gala arrived as scheduled at 8 o'clock in the evening.

This evening party brought together many star singers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong. Among them, the one that the audience was most looking forward to was the first Chinese-style girl group to debut in South Korea, Qiduo.

Since their debut, this group has been very popular in Korea, China, and even Japan, under the influence of Fei'e Video.

Especially after the online quarrel between Chinese and Korean netizens, Qiduo became the pride of some people in China who do not like Korean Wave.

Even for those young people who like Korean Wave, who can resist understandable and nice songs and seven beautiful girls?

Originally, the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala was only a favorite of those born in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, but because of Qiduo’s participation, many people born in the 90s are staying in front of the TV tonight to watch their live performance.

Backstage at the party.

“There are so many people outside, I’m a little nervous”

Liu Muzi was just a sophomore student. She went to FNC to participate in the trainee selection just to try her luck.

I didn’t expect that not only would I be selected, but I would also be able to perform on the CCTV Gala stage today, and it would be broadcast live to the world.

This feeling is like a dream.

"Don't be nervous, just practice like we normally do."

Although captain An Yuexi comforted her teammates in this way, she was also a little nervous when listening to the music and cheers outside.

Before the party, she heard that there would be nearly 10,000 spectators in attendance tonight. Based on the party's ratings of more than 20% in previous years, there would be 200 to 300 million viewers watching.

This situation is indeed a bit too much for a girl who has never seen big scenes.

Ju Jingyi fixed her makeup in front of the mirror and said, "Do you think the boss is downstairs? I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Missing the boss?"

In order to ease her tension, Li Yitong joked with the youngest member of the group.

"I do not have."

Ju Jingyi quickly denied: "I just feel more at ease if the boss is down there, and I also want to ask him if he has written any new songs for us recently?"

“It’s impossible to even think about it, and it’s a sin to even think about it!”

Li Yitong educated the little girl seriously: "Although the boss is handsome and rich, you must not like him. I heard that the boss has a good relationship with T-ARA in FNC. If you think too much, you will suffer."

"I'm not imagining..."

Ju Jingyi wanted to explain, but a staff member came in and said, "Get ready. When the next song is over, you should be ready to go on stage."

After hearing this, the seven people who had originally relaxed, became nervous again.

On the live stage, Fei Yuqing was singing the song "Sing Over and Over Again", and after this song it was Qiduo's turn.

"Sing it over and over again, and everyone can hear it."

Fei Yuqing's singing voice was very melodious, but several girls backstage were becoming more and more nervous.

Finally, the song was over and the host walked onto the stage.

"In traditional Chinese culture, koi is regarded as a symbol of good fortune. It can bring good luck to people. Next, we welcome Qiduo to sing us a song called "Koi Song". I wish you all the best on this night of beautiful flowers and full moon!"

"It's coming out! The seven flowers are coming out!"

When they heard the host's voice, the audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV all widened their eyes.

Although the first few songs were sung well, many people actually watched this party just to wait for the live performance of Qiduo, a very popular group recently.

We are used to seeing Korean pop music and traditional dance, but this combination of song and dance is very novel to the audience.

Sitting in the front row of the audience, Cao Yu was also staring at the stage, also hoping that the Qiduo would have a good performance.

"Come on, girls."

Cao Yu looked at the stage and clenched his fists lightly.

But Qidu was thinking about the dance moves and lyrics at the moment and didn't see him at all.

The stage under the bright moon was like a pool of water. Seven girls, like koi fish, swam slowly in the sound of ding-dong music.
"The sound of cicadas accompanies the wandering clouds; after the memories begin, I quietly gaze into the distance; the ancient well and dry pond covered with weeds scatter a wisp of the past." The seven girls' clothes flutter in the wind, like beautiful koi swimming in the water under the moon.

Although many people have watched their MV online, this is the first time I’ve seen a live performance of this song.

The singing voices of Qiduo echoed on the scene on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Under the lights, each of them looked as smooth and delicate as water. Each movement created ripples under the lights. Coupled with their graceful dancing posture, the audience was mesmerized.

"It's so beautiful, the songs are beautiful, the dances are beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful. No wonder they are so popular!"

"Didn't you notice just now that this is the lyrics and music written by Mr. Cao of Feiyu Entertainment? How could it not be beautiful?"

"Boss Cao is so talented. He can write such a Chinese style song. It's really amazing."

“He’ll still make money.”

“I prefer his talent.”

The innovative singing and dancing, beautiful melody and lyrics immediately amazed the audience.

Many older viewers in front of the TV were attracted by Qiduo's dance and singing.

The song hasn't finished yet, but the topic about Qiduo and Cao Yu has already become a hot search on Weibo.

Director's backstage.

"Director, the ratings have suddenly skyrocketed to 32%!"

"What? Really 32%?"

When the director of the evening party heard what his assistant said, he was stunned for a moment and thought he had heard it wrong.

The Mid-Autumn Festival Gala is not the Spring Festival Gala. In previous years, the highest viewership record for the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala was only 26%. This time it exceeded 30%, which is completely unprecedented.

"Yes, it is 32%. The director was very wise to invite the Qiduo group this time."

"Haha, I can ask for credit when I get back."

The director felt very comfortable being filmed and felt that his choice this time was very wise. At the same time, he also sighed that Cao Yu was so creative and created such a combination, which was really amazing.

On the stage, the seven flowers are like fairies in colorful clothes, making every audience member feel like they are in the Moon Palace.

At the end of the song, there was thunderous applause, but all the audience felt that it was not enough.

But this is CCTV's stage, so they naturally can't shout something like "one more song" to spoil the mood.

“The show is finally over!”

The members of Qiduo finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the thunderous applause from the audience.

Just as they were about to leave the stage, they saw Cao Yu in the front row from afar. The seven of them turned in that direction and bowed gently to express their gratitude.

The director's camera also captured this moment and broadcast the footage to thousands of households.

"It's Boss Cao!"

"He's here too! Still so handsome!"

At Shuimu University, Zhang Xiaotian and several classmates were also watching the live broadcast. When they saw Cao Yu on TV, they screamed in surprise.

"It's him, he hasn't changed at all."

Zhang Xiaotian looked at Cao Yu who flashed by and let out a breath. She didn't know whether it was right or wrong for her to give up the casting of "The Flowers of War".

However, I still have a chance. Next year or the year after, I must enter this big company to gain training, even as a part-time worker.

At this time, a classmate in the dormitory turned on the computer and wanted to listen to other songs of Qiduo.

What I didn’t expect is that now there are more than 100,000 people watching online at the same time.

"This is too exaggerated. The number of views has exceeded 50 million..."

The girl was immediately shocked by the horrifying data.

.........

At the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, the show was still going on and many stars appeared on stage again.

But everyone seemed to be still immersed in Qiduo's performance just now.

"Director, the ratings have dropped to only 27%."

“It dropped by five points?”

When the director heard the news, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Although the evening party has been a success so far, it seems that many viewers were attracted by Qiduo.

It seems that there will be more rain in a while...

Boss Cao, you are really something.

At the same time, many entertainment company bosses in China were also watching this party. The success of Qiduo made them feel that their company should create a similar girl group from time to time.

As for the popularity, you still have to take advantage of it, otherwise it would be a waste.

In the audience, Cao Yu watched Qiduo's performance, listened to a few songs, and then left the scene under the pretext of going to the bathroom.

He believes that as long as Qiduo becomes popular again through this party, many entertainment companies will surely follow suit, and the music show he plans to organize next year should be successful.

As soon as I got back to the hotel, Director Ouyang of Mango TV called me.

"Boss Cao, I saw you on TV. It's been a while. Come to Changsha when you have time. Bring Qiduo with you and ask them to participate in Kuaiben."

"Okay."

Although Cao Yu felt that Ouyang Changlin might be here because of the New Year's Eve concert, it would be okay to go and sit for a while.

We just happened to be organizing a music show, so we asked Tianyu to form a group and have them participate next year to boost their popularity.

The next morning, he took Qiduo and flew from Guangzhou to Changsha.

On the plane, Ju Jingyi indeed asked about the new song.

"Boss, our first album only has four songs. When will the second album be released?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? You have to wait until at least next year."

Cao Yu looked at the girls with anticipation and said with a smile: "Do you think it's easy to write a new song? I have to think about it slowly..."

Ju Jingyi, relying on her young age and lively personality, said half-seriously, "Boss, you've worked so hard. Next time if you're tired from writing songs, I can rub your shoulders."

"No need, just sing well."

Cao Yu thought that this girl was looking for an opportunity to convince him to agree to let her slightly adjust her nose and chin, so he immediately didn't give her a good look.

“I’m just worried that my boss will be too busy…”

Ju Jingyi didn't dare to say anything more and turned to look out the plane window.

Although the other teammates pretended not to look at this side, they still heard what Ju Jingyi said.

"You said before that you didn't think about the boss, you little girl really has a lot on your mind..."

.........

Yangcheng is not far from Changsha, and the group soon arrived at their destination.

"Boss Cao, we haven't seen each other for a year and a half, and you're still so radiant."

At Mango TV, Director Ouyang asked someone to take Qiduo to familiarize herself with the program, and then invited Cao Yu to his office.

"Really? I don't think it's been that long?"

Cao Yu had met Ouyang Changlin at the New Year's Eve party two years ago, so it had been a year and a half since they last saw each other.

"Boss Cao is indeed a forgetful person."

Ouyang Changlin made a cup of tea for Cao Yu and said with a smile: "Your New Year's Eve party last year was very good and creative. Do you plan to hold it yourself this year?"

"really."

When Cao Yu heard this, he immediately guessed what Ouyang Changlin was going to say next and said with a smile: "It is better to have it yourself than to have it from your parents."

He wanted to stop the other party from talking, but Ouyang Changlin said, "That's true, but if we do it, everyone will do it. Then the ratings of each company will be affected. Why don't we work together and each get half of the profits? How about that?"

"I'll go back and hold a meeting to discuss it."

"Alright."

Ouyang Changlin immediately understood that Boss Cao was unwilling.

However, he also understood that Fei'e Video made a lot of money from last year's New Year's Eve party and was definitely unwilling to give up this piece of cake, so he stopped forcing it.

Changing the subject, he said, "I heard you're planning to organize a music show similar to Music Bank?"

Cao Yu nodded and said, "Yes, we are already preparing for it."

"That's a good idea." Ouyang Changlin said, "This is what's going on. Tianyu is also planning to form two groups and sign a few singers. Once your performance stage is ready, we will definitely support you."

"Thank you very much."

Cao Yu had just finished speaking when he was stunned by the question Ouyang Changlin asked.

"Then what ranking can you arrange for us?"

Could this be Director Ouyang's real purpose?
