China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 639 637. Surprised or unexpected?

Feiyu Entertainment only invested 33 million in the drama "Love Is Not Blind".

Urban dramas do not require special effects and are a rare low-budget film produced by Feiyu in recent years.

But what the industry did not expect was that not only did the movie have an incredibly good reputation, but even the acting skills of newcomer Song Qian were highly praised.

But when people found out that the director was Ning Hao, they understood everything.

Seven years ago, Ning Hao also made Huang Bo famous with a low-budget movie "Crazy Stone". Now it seems that what he is best at is making big gains with small investments and bringing newcomers to fame.

While the entire entertainment industry admires Ning Hao, they admire Boss Cao's vision even more.

Cao Yu woke up the next day and went to the living room in his pajamas. He found that Yang Shuxue had already prepared breakfast and was reading some information.

"Shuxue, you got up so early?"

"It's past eight o'clock. I usually get up around six, but today I slept until seven without realizing it."

Yang Shuxue raised her head and smiled gently at her lover, saying, "You will be thirty soon, so you should pay attention to your health and don't stay up late at night, otherwise you will age quickly."

"Who kept me awake last night?"

As Cao Yu spoke, he sat down at the dining table. He picked up a bowl of porridge and was about to drink it when he discovered that in addition to bird's nests, there were also many wolfberries in the porridge. He could only smile bitterly.

"You won't let me sleep!"

Yang Shuxue glared at Cao Yu, then handed the information in her hand to Cao Yu: "This is the attendance of Love Is Not Blind in all Huanyu Cinemas last night. I guess other cinemas are similar. I think you will make a lot of money again this time."

"No need to look, it's just to be expected."

Cao Yu was only focused on drinking his porridge. He could totally guess what happened in the cinema last night.

After taking a few sips, he suddenly asked, "Is there any information on the occupancy of Huanyu's hotels?"

"I'll be right over!"

Yang Shuxue immediately picked up the phone and called the company. In less than three minutes, a document was sent to her.

She glanced around and said to Cao Yu, "The double bed room, couple's room, is completely full."

Hearing this result, Cao Yu sighed: "Ah, although it is Singles' Day, I wonder how many innocent girls have become sisters-in-law."

"You have a really vicious tongue! That's called being single!"

Yang Shuxue was amused by Cao Yu. After chatting for a while, she asked, "What are your plans for today?"

"Go to work. Today is Friday. I don't know how Youduoduo's sales were last night."

"Are you coming back tonight? If you are, I will have someone prepare dinner for you."

"I don't know yet. I'll call you this afternoon."

Now Cao Yu is really not sure where he will spend the night every day.

Yang Shuxue joked, "You estimate that there are 3,000 beauties in your harem now, right?"

"But I only love you."

"Lie mouth!"

Although Yang Shuxue knew that Cao Yu was lying, she was still very happy.

When Cao Yu arrived at the company, he found that many people looked at him differently than usual.

“Could it be that Youduoduo is selling well?”

When he arrived at the office, he turned on the computer and saw Youduoduo's trading data. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the eye-catching numbers.

From midnight last night to nine in the morning, Youduoduo's sales reached 5.2 billion!
"Damn! This is too exaggerated!"

He finally understood why others viewed him that way; he turned out to be a walking gold mountain.

Cai Chongxin not only counted the transaction volume of Youduoduo, but also the transaction volume of Jingdong and Taobao.

That night, Jingdong's transaction volume was 2.8 billion, while Taobao's was only 1.3 billion, almost only a quarter of Youduoduo's.

"Ma Yun is going to have a headache again."

Cao Yu guessed that Lao Ma was holding a meeting with employees again.

He immediately replied to Cai Chongxin: "If Ali lays off employees, use your connections to poach people! Also, if the transaction volume exceeds 10 billion, celebrate for everyone!"

Soon, Cai Chongxin replied: "Understood!"

After dealing with You Duoduo's affairs, the secretary brought in some information, which was the audition information of the actors for "Swordsman".

Cao Yu didn't have to worry about the auditions, but he had to personally confirm the final few main roles.

Linghu Chong, Zhou Yiwei, Huo Jianhua, Xu Haiqiao, Deng Chao
Cao Yu looked at the information of several people, and found out that Zhang Ruoyun did not participate in the audition, which made Cao Yu a little curious.

However, the four people who passed the audition all had no problems with their acting skills. As for appearance, Linghu Chong is not a handsome guy in the true sense, so several of them are also suitable.

But this drama is positioned as an idol drama, and he prefers Xu Haiqiao among the four.

He first called Zhang Ruoyun's agent, only to find out that after the guy finished filming "Joy of Life", his father arranged for him to film the TV series "Black Fox".

"Hey, it's good to have a good father."

Cao Yu had no choice but to give Linghu Chong to Xu Haiqiao.

As for the leading female role, Dongfang Bubai, Jing Tian has already been chosen.

The competition for the second female lead, Ren Yingying, is the most intense. In addition to Zhang Tian'ai, Huang Mengying, Wang Xiaochen, Jiang Shuying and others under Feiyu, there are also female artists from other companies.

Cao Yu considered the appearance and temperament of several girls and finally gave the role to Zhang Tianai.

Huang Mengying changed to play the little nun Yi Lin.

Although Yang Rong also auditioned for the role of Yue Lingshan, and Cao Yu thought this actress was okay, but considering her age, he let her play the role of Lan Fenghuang.

Yue Lingshan gave it to Tan Songyun who was under the company.

In the end, even Bai Bingyan was asked to make a cameo appearance as Yi Lin's junior sister Zheng E in this drama.

"Without Yuan Shanshan, this drama would still be full of beauties."

After deciding on several main female characters, Cao Yu actually began to have some expectations for this film, which, although somewhat modified, was still quite good.

Cao Yu then looked up the candidates for the second male lead, Lin Pingzhi.

Sure enough, in addition to Xiao Zhan from the company, Chen Xiao, who was signed to Huayi, was also among them.

"It's him!"

Cao Yu ticked Chen Xiao's information and was thinking about when to ask Huayi to bring the boy over when his secretary walked in with a worried look on his face.

"what happened?"

Seeing the secretary like this, Cao Yu asked curiously.

"Boss, representatives from LV, Kuchi, Prada and other companies have sent us lawyers' letters, demanding that we immediately hold a press conference to publicly apologize for the lines in Love Is Not Blind that slandered them, or they will sue us!"

"Oh?"

Cao Yu immediately became interested.

You want to sue me, right? I was just trying to continue promoting this movie, but you just give me a pillow, so I’ll sue you!
He said to his secretary, "Reply to them and tell them that if they want to sue, we will fight them to the end!"

"Boss Cao, this will really affect the endorsements of the company's artists."

"It's okay, just do as I say!"

Cao Yu waved his hand impatiently and asked the secretary to go out.

He took another look at Chen Xiao's information and planned to wait until Hua Yi asked him for help before sending this person over, so that he wouldn't have to do him a favor.

On that day, Cao Yu held a small meeting with the crew of "Swordsman" to decide the start time and investment budget of the play. Just as he was about to get off work, he received a message from Reba on his mobile phone.

"Dad, are you free tonight? I miss you and I have a surprise for you tonight."

Cao Yu shook his head and smiled. What kind of surprise would this girl have?
But he remembered Reba's charm and replied, "Then I'll come find you later."

"Not now, come to my place in an hour, you must come."

"understood."

Cao Yu found the little girl's mysterious tricks very interesting, and was curious about what kind of surprise Reba would give him.

After waiting for an hour, Cao Yu drove to the apartment building where Reba lived.

He had been here more than once. The house was given to her by Cao Yu. It was a luxurious flat of more than 200 square meters.

The elevator leads directly to the house. As soon as I opened the door, I saw two girls wearing veils and dressed in Western costumes waiting at the door. There was also Western-style music playing in the room.

But the music is a bit charming.

"Two people?"

Cao Yu roughly understood what the surprise was, but since both of them were wearing veils, one of them must be Reba, but who was the other girl?
"Could it be other members of the dance troupe?"

There are more than a dozen people in Feiyu Dance Troupe who are Du Reba’s fellow villagers, and they are all tall and good-looking.

"Dad, come in quickly!"

Just as Cao Yu was about to take a closer look at the two girls, Reba pulled Cao Yu in and let him sit on a blanket while she twisted like a snake to the music.

There are red wine, grapes, melons, etc. in front of the blanket, which really has a Western style.

Nazha had already discussed with Reba last night to give Cao Yu a surprise.

But when he heard Reba actually calling the boss "Dad", he was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed a hint of surprise, and his dance moves were almost distorted.

Do they usually play so extravagantly? I am really out of date. "Could it be Naza? Impossible, they are rivals!"

Cao Yu sat on the blanket, picked up the red wine and took a sip, then looked at the other girl besides Reba again. Judging from her figure and eyes, she seemed very much like Nazha.

The two dancing girls were wearing thin clothes with red gauze on their heads, but the clothes were very economical in fabric and their waists were completely exposed, which was extremely seductive.

They were barefoot, waving their arms back and forth, and their soft, boneless white waists moved slowly with the music, giving people a captivating feeling, and they cast seductive glances at Cao Yu from time to time.

Although Cao Yu was curious about who the other girl was, he was not in a hurry to ask.

He would know it sooner or later anyway, and this veiled mystery made him feel very interesting and more tempting.

As the rhythm of the music became faster and faster, the two women's bodies twisted more and more dramatically. Their slender thighs spun up, making their red skirts seem to become a burning fire. Their gorgeous and unrestrained chest-shaking and hip-twisting movements became more and more sexy.

“This is the authentic Western dance.”

Cao Yu leaned back on the cushion with great enjoyment, watching the two people's passionate dance and drinking a little wine. He liked this surprise very much.

When the music reached the end, the two girls came to Cao Yu, one on the left and one on the right, and gently placed their hands on Cao Yu's shoulders. Then they knelt in front of Cao Yu and whispered, "Master, are we dancing well?"

"Really good at playing"

Cao Yu didn't know who came up with this idea, but how could he resist such a charming temptation?

He embraced the two delicate bodies and asked, "One is Reba, who is the other one?"

"you guess!"

Nazha's slender waist turned into a snake, twisting gently on him, her chest rubbing against his chest, and her bright lips blowing hot air gently on his ears.

Cao Yu's muscles tightened because of the teasing, and he stroked her waist with his big hands. It felt as smooth as jade, soft and surprisingly elastic, and the touch was quite familiar.

"Are you Nazar?"

"Dad is so amazing! He guessed it right away!"

Reba immediately clapped her hands, picked up Cao Yu's wine glass, took a sip, and then slowly passed it to Cao Yu's mouth.

"Really her?"

As long as it wasn't another girl, Cao Yu would be relieved. He gently lifted the veil on Nazha's face, and sure enough, that exquisite and beautiful face appeared in front of him.

"Dad, are you surprised or not?"

Reba felt like she had done something great and wanted to show off in front of Cao Yu: "We are good sisters now."

“It’s a pleasant surprise, I like it!”

Cao Yu didn’t know how the two became good sisters, but it didn’t matter.

And I think all men would like this kind of surprise, but the prerequisite is that you are in good health.

Cao Yu was in good health. Facing the two people with exotic looks, the fire in his heart suddenly burned. He held them both in his arms and touched them all over without any hesitation.

He knew that Reba was probably trying to win favor, so she brought Nazha along, but it didn’t matter, as long as he felt happy.

After a long time, Nazha had fallen asleep, but Reba was still in Cao Yu's arms, saying with seductive eyes, "Is this surprise of mine okay?"

"very good."

"Then what are you rewarding me with?"

"Reward you"

Cao Yu remembered that the play "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" had been delayed for many years and the script had been revised several times. It was time to shoot it, so he said: "I'll reward you with a second female role."

"Talented Girl Number Two?"

"What? You don't want it?"

"I want I want!"

"Then give it to you!"

Cao Yu was in high spirits tonight. He gently pulled her in the middle and then leaned over...

……

The next day, Cao Yu just got up and saw that the company had sent him the first day box office results of "Love Is Not Blind".

Ninety-eight million, just two million short of another movie that would make over one hundred million on the first day.

Cao Yu's actions woke up Nazha, who was the first to fall asleep. She glanced at Reba beside her, her pretty face slightly reddened, then leaned in Cao Yu's arms and glanced at the messages on Cao Yu's mobile phone.

"Ninety-eight million? You recovered all the costs in just one day. Honey, you are amazing!"

Nazha was very happy for Cao Yu and said excitedly: "It looks like this is another movie that can make over 1 billion!"

Cao Yu patted Nazha's hips and said with a smile: "If you work hard, you will have such an opportunity in the future."

"really?"

"Of course it is!"

Although Nazha has made many bad movies, "Sewing Machine Band" is really good. And with me here, are you afraid that she doesn't have good resources?
"Today is the weekend, you guys sleep a little longer, I'm going to go check out the construction site."

"Dear, since you don't have to work today, just spend more time with us."

"If I really have something to do, I'll come back in the evening."

Cao Yu said, taking out a card: "You guys performed well last night, take this card and buy a car each."

"It's so kind of you!"

Nazha immediately kissed Cao Yu on the face.

Although Reba wanted Nazha to call Cao Yu "Dad" last night, Nazha still couldn't say it.

In this regard, Cao Yu felt that this girl was quite good in this regard.

Over the weekend, although Huayi's movie "LOVE" received good responses, it was ruthlessly beaten by "Love Is Not Blind" which had an investment of 33 million less in terms of box office performance.

On Monday, Cao Yu obtained data that the box office of this movie exceeded 300 million in just three days, while "LOVE" only made more than 70 million, which is completely not on the same level.

Such a horrific result shocked the entire entertainment industry.

Who could have thought that Feiyu's move of making a big profit with a small investment was almost perfect.

Many people have once again realized that if a movie wants to be a big hit, it is far from enough to just pile up stars, the quality of the movie must be solid.

There must also be good marketing.

In addition to the popularity of the movie, Cao Yu's Youduoduo is even more powerful. During this year's Double Eleven, the daily sales volume broke through 10 billion yuan for the first time in history, causing the entire e-commerce industry to exclaim that Boss Cao is almost unstoppable!

Although Jingdong's 5.5 billion is not bad, it is not as good in comparison.

The combined transaction volume of Taobao and Tmall is only 2.9 billion, which can be described as appalling.

On November 1.3, Spielberg's "The Adventures of Tintin" was released. Although it is a Hollywood movie and cost 33 million US dollars, it was defeated by "Love Is Not Blind" in China and had no chance to fight back. The box office on the first day was less than million.

On November 16, Cao Yu had just arrived at work when his secretary brought him two documents.

"Mr. Cao, we have been sued by Louis Vuitton and Prada. Here are the indictment documents sent by the court!"

"Okay, great!"

After reading the two indictments, Cao Yu was not anxious at all. Instead, he applauded.

"CEO Cao."

The secretary looked puzzled. Did Mr. Cao sleep too much last night? Is it okay to be sued?
Cao Yu laughed and said: "Publish this matter immediately. Publish it in newspapers, Weibo, WeChat, and wherever possible. Let half of the Chinese people see this news. Let the Ministry of Justice prepare to file a lawsuit, and then let the Public Relations Department hype this matter up."

"Mr. Cao, are you doing this on purpose? Do you want to increase the box office of the movie?"

"box office?"

Cao Yu smiled coldly: "My goal is not only to make a lot of money at the box office, but also to let the whole country know that those so-called luxury goods, bags that cost tens of thousands of yuan at any time, are simply a kind of harvest!"

…………

Hangcheng.

Although Ma Yun enjoyed great fame as the financial sponsor during the casting of "Palace Lock and Bead Curtain" some time ago, he has fallen into distress again in recent days.

Youduoduo’s sales on Double Eleven exceeded 10 billion, which is the first time in China.

Under the influence of this sales volume, Feiyu Group is in the limelight.

On the other hand, Ali was one of the earliest companies in China to develop e-commerce. However, eight years later, it has degenerated into a third- or fourth-rate e-commerce platform.

Even their previous old users are leaving in large numbers and joining Youduoduo in large numbers.

“Let the e-commerce department prepare to lay off employees.”

Ma Yun finally made a difficult decision.

Although he knew that the consequence of layoffs would cause many employees to join Feiyu Group, if he did not lay off employees, it would die faster.

Just after making this decision, he suddenly saw a piece of news on the Internet.

Feiyu Entertainment got into trouble and was sued by two major European luxury goods companies.

"Haha, Cao Yu, you will also be prosecuted!"

Ma Yun was just about to raise his arms and shout to express the frustration in his heart, but his hand was just halfway raised when it suddenly stopped in mid-air.

"This just happened today, how come it was exposed like this? Is Cao Yu trying to hype it up? To use the popularity to increase the box office of Love Is Not Blind?"

The surprise just now suddenly turned into an accident.
