China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 648: 646. Joy of Life begins airing, outshining Descendants of the Sun

After a wave of hype in the media, Cao Yu left Toei in the afternoon and went to Toho to finalize the movie "The Great Explosion of Mt. Fuji".

Because the rumor that 2012 is the end of the world is well-known around the world, disaster movies have done quite well at the box office in the past two years, especially movies like "The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012", which have made disaster movies a trend.

After reading the script, Shimatani Norisuke was also very satisfied and immediately decided to invest. However, the partner this time was not Feiyu Entertainment, but Marvel from the United States.

Shimatani Noriaki is very smart. After all, Marvel is a Hollywood company, and only with this reputation can the box office be guaranteed.

Cao Yu had no objection to this request.

The investment for this film is to reach 150 million US dollars. He wants to take this opportunity to invest the money in Japan first, and then operate it and transfer it back to China. Why not?

"Mr. Shimatani, I've been working on a better idea lately. We can continue our cooperation after this film is finished."

What Cao Yu was talking about was "Shin Godzilla" produced by Toho. At that time, the setting of this film can be changed to "Fukushima Mutant Beast", which can not only launder money but also make a lot of money.

"Great."

When Shimatani Nounari heard that there was a movie, he was even happier: "Mr. Cao, last year our Cinderella selected a lot of newcomers. How about taking a look now? I'll give them some pointers if I have the chance."

"Not today. I've found a manor in Kyoto and I need to go take care of it today."

"Mr. Cao is going to buy some property? This is a good thing. Do you need my help?"

"No need, Tezuka Osamu helped me find it, and it's not expensive."

"Tezuka Osamu?"

When Shimatani Nobushige heard the name, he immediately understood that Toei was trying to snatch the girl from him. If he gave her a woman, he would give her a house...

There are still many areas for cooperation with this Chinese man in the future. If you don't sacrifice the child, you won't catch the wolf. Toei must snatch him away.

He immediately said: "Since Cao Jun is busy, I will pick some girls who are good in all aspects. When your house is ready, I will send them to where Cao Jun lives, and you can slowly guide them..."

"Haha, okay, I believe in your judgment..."

Cao Yu agreed with a smile, making their relationship seem even closer.

However, Cao Yu didn't have to worry about the transaction procedures of that courtyard himself. His secretary Gao Yala could handle it completely.

After leaving Tokyo, Cao Yu went to Osaka to attend the Golden Disc Awards ceremony.

This year's Golden Disc Awards were held over two days, with the album awards presented on the first day and the music awards presented on the second day.

However, unlike the Folk Song Awards, Cao Yu came here just to watch the fun.

The Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan, was star-studded tonight. The presence of FNC Chairman Cao in person immediately caused quite a stir and impressed everyone present.

Although Cao Yu did not win the award, FNC still reaped great rewards at this year's Golden Disc Awards.

The Record Award was presented to EXO. Since their debut, they have become the number one boy band in South Korea and a symbol of the Korean Wave, with fame and popularity surpassing their predecessor Super Junior.

This boy group alone can bring FNC tens of billions of won in revenue every year.

The Music Award went to Girls' Generation. Although their album "The Boys" only sold 500,000 copies, the number of music downloads exceeded one million.

There are only eight seats in the main music award, and FNC occupies five seats, surpassing all other entertainment companies.

Thanks to their outstanding album sales, Qiduo won the New Artist Award. This is the first time that a Chinese girl group has appeared on a Golden Record and received this honor.

In addition, the Best Production award went to FNC's Shinsadong Tiger Lee Ho-young, and the Best Asian Group and Best Hallyu Star awards went to EXO.

T-ARA also won the Best Music Award and the Most Popular Girl Group Award.

Even though Cao Yu did not win any award that night, he was thanked more than a dozen times and became the most dazzling star of the ceremony.

After the ceremony, everyone went to Kyoto together. They will have a day off tomorrow, and then they will return to Korea first.

As soon as I got off the car, Lin Yuner ran over and said, "OPPA, who are you going to sleep with tonight?"

"Don't bother me, I want to sleep soundly tonight."

Cao Yu said this on purpose, but he actually wanted to go find T-ARA and the others in the evening.

"Liar!"

Lin Yoona doesn't believe that Cao Yu would sleep alone. There are six young and beautiful Japanese girls here who all want to throw themselves into his arms. Can you bear it?
She glanced at Choi Sulli in the crowd and whispered, "OPPA, what's going on between you and Sulli?"

"Nothing, what's wrong?"

"I noticed that Shirley is interested in you, why don't you take her in as well? I wouldn't mind."

"forget it."

Cao Yu shook his head decisively. He could touch other girls, but he really didn't want to mess with Choi Sulli.

"Shirley is really pretty, how could you not want to?"

Yoona looked at Cho Woo, wondering if he was lying.

"I really don't want to!"

Seeing Lin Yuner's disbelief, Cao Yu said for Choi Sulli's reputation: "Actually, I ran into her in the garden last night. This girl said she wanted to be with me, but I rejected her."

"Oh, no wonder she seemed to be talking and laughing with everyone today, but there seemed to be something hidden in her eyes. So this is what happened."

Lin Yuner touched her round chin and said, "OPPA, you are hurting the girl's heart by doing this."

"If I agree to her, it might not just be my heart that's hurt."

"?"

Lin Yuner didn't understand at first. After a moment, she realized what Cao Yu meant: "OPPA, you are so bad. I want to accompany you tonight."

"Forehead"

Cao Yu didn't expect that Lin Yuner was being corrupted by him. He smiled and glanced at T-ARA's room and said, "Go play with T-ARA later. I'll go over later."

"OPPA, can you do this?"

"Haha, you will know when the time comes."

"I won't go. I'm not familiar with them. I'd better take a bath with you first."

"That's fine too."

The bath lasted for more than two hours before Yoona returned to the room with a rosy face.

She originally thought that the other teammates had all gone to bed, but when she entered the room, she found that Choi Sulli was still looking at her with her eyes open. She immediately said embarrassedly, "Sulli, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Cui Xueli did not answer, but asked: "Did you go to see the president?"

"how do you know?"

"My guess."

Choi Sulli said as she crawled into Lin Yuner's bed: "Yuner, actually I have something very difficult, and it's uncomfortable to hide it in my heart. Can you talk to me?"

"Do you like OPPA too?"

"How do you know? Did the president tell you?"

"No, I noticed that you were distracted today, and you were holding the president's clothes last night."

"I do like the president."

Being seen through, Choi Sulli confessed her thoughts: "Yoona, I don't know why, I just like mature and charming men like the president, but he rejected me. I don't know what to do. I'm so sad."

"Shirley, OPPA actually has a lot of women, he just doesn't want to make you sad."

“But I’m even sadder now.”

Choi Sulli said, hugging Yoona and crying softly, "You don't care that the president has other women, and I don't care either. I just want to live happily like you."

Seeing her teammates bursting into tears, Lin Yuner's heart softened: "Don't cry, I'll help you think of a solution when there's a chance."

……

The next morning, Cao Yu, who had been working until midnight, received a call from Han Bang before he woke up.

"President, the ratings of Descendants of the Sun reached 35% last night. Many young Koreans have flooded the conscription office with calls. Therefore, the president wants to meet with you and congratulate EXO and Girls' Generation on their awards. When will the president return to the country?"

"The President is meeting me?"

Cao Yu had long anticipated that "Descendants of the Sun" would cause such a result, but he did not expect that the president would meet with him.

Although he knew that the Korean president was just a puppet of the chaebol, he was still the nominal head of state. If he were to meet the president, it would definitely be beneficial to the promotion of Chinese culture in the future. So he agreed and asked, "When will we meet?"

"Three days later."

"I'll be back in three days."

"I'll reply to the president right away and wait for you to come back."

The Golden Pig finished speaking on the phone.

Just after I finished the call, Toho called again and said that Nozomi Sasaki and Murahana would be coming with some girls.

Sure enough, before they finished breakfast, Nozomi Sasaki, Murahama and a group of girls arrived.

"This is."

Girls' Generation and T-ARA were all stunned.

Dongbao selected ten girls this time, all of whom were beautiful models who stood out in last year's Cinderella selection. Each of them has a delicate appearance and is indeed one in a million. "It is probably a gift from someone to the president."

"That doesn't need to be so much, does it?"

"Do you think the president will accept them?"

"Hard to say."

T-ARA, Girls' Generation and others were talking about this and guessing how the president would handle it.

Choi Sulli was also thinking that if the president really kept these girls, she would ignore him in the future.

At this time, Cao Yu was speechless.

Because these girls look young, basically they are still middle school students, how could he accept them?

Although he had also heard that some girls selected for Toho Cinderella were still in elementary school, he never expected that the Japanese people's aesthetic taste was so perverted.

He glanced at the girls who were looking forward to it, and without even asking their names, he said directly to Nozomi Sasaki, "Please help take them back and tell Mr. Shimatani that I appreciate his kindness."

"call"

Choi Sulli breathed a sigh of relief. Although the president had many women, judging from this incident, he was worthy of her love.

After those girls followed Nozomi Sasaki away in disappointment, Cao Yu shook his head. It was said that Japan liked skinny young girls, and this time he finally saw it.

All FNC artists toured Kyoto that day and left by plane that night.

Cao Yu did not leave. He and Toho had to finalize matters such as the film investment, so he needed to stay in Japan for another two days.

In the past two days, four episodes of "Descendants of the Sun" have been aired on Fei'e Video. The response has been very good, and the number of views is continuing to increase. It has also helped Fei'e Video bring in more than 10 million paying fans.

But during this period, Feiyu's other major drama "Joy of Life" was also being promoted hotly.

Although the male lead Zhang Ruoyun was still not well-known at the time, the participation of veteran actors such as Chen Daoming and Wu Gang made the drama highly anticipated by the audience.

In addition to these, in the promotional video, the beautiful Li Xiaoyu attracted the attention of many viewers.

Especially some book fans, after watching the promotional video, they can't wait.

January 14th, China.

A little after eight o'clock in the evening, after a long commercial, the song of "The Rest of My Life" sounded. This TV series produced by Feiyu Entertainment finally started airing amid the anticipation of everyone.

At the beginning of the first episode, young Fan Xian attracted all the audience.

Many viewers who have not read the original novel and came for Feiyu Entertainment's reputation thought it was a family ethics drama after watching half of the episode, but later discovered that it was a comedy.

Just when everyone thought this was a comedy, they discovered that it was actually a political drama.

But no matter what drama it is, there are only two words to describe it: good.

In addition to the wonderful and humorous plot, everyone, whether young actors or veteran actors, gave a brilliant performance.

Young people enjoy watching it and feel that two episodes a day are not enough. Middle-aged people also enjoy watching it because the veteran actors perform so well.

And after watching two episodes, everyone actually hoped that the little Fan Xian, who grew up under beatings, would have more roles.

That little boy is really cute.

After the two episodes were aired, there were a lot of positive reviews on Weibo, and many viewers who didn't get enough of the show on TV actually watched the rerun online.

Many people seem to have returned to the feeling they had more than ten years ago when they were chasing "Return of the Condor Heroes" and "Legend of White Snake".

Even though "Joy of Life" has only aired two episodes, it has actually overshadowed the popularity of "Descendants of the Sun" which has already aired four episodes.

The audience once again sighed that Feiyu Entertainment's works always bring enough surprises.

In addition, it seems that as long as our Chinese TV dramas are shot with care, they are no worse than Korean dramas, and may even be better.

Yanjing Terrace.

"Director, the decision to buy Joy of Life was a wise one. The ratings of the first two episodes of this drama exceeded 5%."

"Haha, Feiyu's drama never disappoints."

"Director, I heard that they are going to release trailers for "Zhu Xian" and "Empresses in the Palace" in a few days and sell the first broadcast rights. Should we grab them?"

“Must grab!”

Mango station.

"I regret it. I should have paid more money to snatch this drama and let Yanjing TV get a big advantage."

Ouyang Changlin looked at the ratings of "Joy of Life" and regretted it so much that he immediately said, "Contact Feiyu Entertainment and make sure to get the premiere of "Zhu Xian" this time!"

At first, he thought that the main theme of "Joy of Life" was political intrigue and was not suitable for Mango TV, but it turned out that it was not just about political intrigue.

The secretary asked again: "What about "The Legend of Zhen Huan"? Is it also snatched?"

"hiss"

Ouyang Changlin hesitated for a moment and uttered two words: "Grab it too!"

In addition to Mango TV, other TV stations were also jealous of the popularity of "Joy of Life" and all set their sights on Feiyu's other two dramas last year.

On January 15th, "Joy of Life" aired two more episodes.

With good reviews and word of mouth, the ratings for this show actually reached 6.2%. This figure is so high that it cannot be described as an exaggeration in an era when the Internet has become popular.

Even the first two episodes have been viewed over 50 million times online.

Not only did the drama become popular, but Tian Yu, who played Wang Qinian in the drama, also became popular, Guo Qilin's Fan Sizhe also became popular, and Li Chen's chicken leg girl became even more popular.

This made many film and television companies jealous and analyzed why the drama was so popular.

The final conclusion is that the exciting plot and the excellent acting skills of the actors are the key to the success of this drama.

It seems that to make a good drama, you have to be as dedicated as Feiyu.

Japanese country.

"Joy of Life is still so popular. With this momentum, the first broadcasts of Zhu Xian and Zhen Huan's Legend should also be able to fetch a good price. By then, the myth of Korean dramas will be completely broken!"

Cao Yu sat in the yard, while several Japanese girls massaged his legs and shoulders, enjoying the rare peace and quiet.

The FNC artist returned home early, and he has finished all his work in Japan in the past two days.

The budget for "Fuji Explosion" has been announced in the past few days, and the heroine is confirmed to be Nozomi Sasaki.

As for Toho Cinderella, Cao Yu picked two girls who were about the same age as Nozomi Sasaki and the others. Together with the six people sent by Toei before, he was surrounded by more than a dozen beauties these days, and his life was like that of a god.

When the other Japanese girls heard that Nozomi Sasaki got the female lead, they behaved more diligently and docilely, and served Cao Yu very comfortably.

Boss Cao really wants to stay here for a while, but unfortunately he has to go back to Seoul to meet the Korean president tomorrow, and then return to his country to celebrate the New Year. By the way, he will sell the first broadcast rights of two dramas including "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

On January 16, Cao Yu said goodbye to these Japanese girls and returned to Seoul. Then he brought the three groups EXO, Girls' Generation, and T-ARA to accept the president's reception.

This meeting was an official one. President Lee mainly affirmed the Chinese man's contribution to the development of Korean Wave and expressed his willingness to give more support to FNC.

The next day, the media published this news, and Cao Yu's reputation in Korean baseball had reached its highest point.

He has now become the new chaebol in South Korea.

On January 2012, Cao Yu decided on the film and TV series projects that FNC would shoot in , and returned to Yanjing with Lu Han, Qiduo and several other Chinese people.

In addition to the Chinese New Year, Lu Han also has to film "Tiny Times", and Qiduo has also been invited by several domestic TV stations to participate in the local Spring Festival Gala.

Cao Yu helped them choose Liao Provincial Satellite TV because Uncle Benshan would bid farewell to the Spring Festival Gala this year, which in turn boosted the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala of Liao Provincial Satellite TV.

Feiyu Entertainment.

There are only five days left until the Chinese New Year, and the boss will hold the annual year-end party when he comes back.

This is a tradition that the company has been adhering to in recent years. On the one hand, it is to commend outstanding employees and give everyone bonuses. On the other hand, we hold an internal party and then take a holiday to celebrate the New Year.

This year Li Wei and Wang Xiaochen are going to perform a Huangmei Opera, and they are currently rehearsing.

At the side of the stage, several girls who were taking a break looked at the two of them and gathered together whispering.

"I envy Li Wei so much. Her chicken leg girl has become so popular recently that it has even become a hot search on Weibo."

"She was recruited from school by the boss himself. It's normal for her to be so popular."

"Do you think she has that kind of relationship with our boss?"

"Of course, she's so pretty and has a great figure, it would be strange if she didn't have a relationship with the boss."

"Unfortunately, we don't have as good luck as her. The boss doesn't think highly of us..."

Although the voices of several people chatting were not loud, they still reached the ears of Li Xi and Wang Xiaochen.

After the song was over, Wang Xiaochen glanced at the girls in the dance troupe and said to Li Xiaochen, "Xiaoxiao, don't pay attention to what these nagging women say. They are jealous of your success."

"Um…"

Li Wei nodded. Thinking of her boss, she actually didn't find those words harsh.

"But I can't just bear this reputation. My boss is so good to me. I want to turn this rumor into fact."
