China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 662: China's first music show begins, shocking the music industry
The animated film "The Return of the Great Sage" has dominated the entire summer movie market with its reputation and box office since it was released in mid-July.

The special effects of this film were made by the Hong Kong branch of Digital Domain, and everything from the picture design, music to the fighting scenes were basically completed by Chinese.

The soundtrack was even composed by several famous music masters from Hong Kong, so the movie is even better than the original version before Cao Yu was reborn.

With the rise of Chinese animation and the support of major theaters in making the film, the film has grossed 1.4 billion yuan in more than 20 days since its release.

The box office of "The Four" during the same period was only over 300 million.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Cao Yu brought two beauties to Hangzhou's largest Huanyu Plaza, planning to have dinner first and then watch a movie.

Although all three of them were wearing sunglasses, Nazha and Liu Shishi's tall and outstanding figures still attracted a lot of attention.

Especially Boss Cao Cao, who was surrounded by beauties, attracted many envious and jealous looks from men.

Hangzhou is a food desert, so the three of them had to have a Western meal and then went to the cinema.

Although the film was released later in the season, the theater was still about half full, with most of them being parents with their children.

The lovely Jiang Liuer, the powerful Monkey King, the adorable Zhu Bajie, and the scary and cunning monsters make the animation "The Return of the Great Sage" suitable for all ages.

Liu Shishi and Nazha have been filming on the set recently and have never seen this movie. As soon as the movie started, they were attracted by the plot.

After watching for a while, Liu Shishi couldn't help but praise: "Brother Cao Yu, the plot of this movie is really interesting, and your screenwriting skills are really amazing."

"That's nothing. He's great in so many other ways."

Nazha smiled proudly, as if to say, I was here first.

"What else are you good at?"

Liu Shishi didn't understand, so she approached Cao Yu curiously and asked, "Is it about making money?"

"Is she pretending to be innocent?"

Nazha curled her lips. She couldn't believe that a woman who had been in the entertainment industry for a long time and was already 25 years old had never had a man before?
But Cao Yu knew that this was true. A mature and beautiful girl who had never had a boyfriend was indeed attractive enough.

He smiled and said, "Making money is only one aspect. Naza is talking about something else."

"What else?"

Liu Shishi still looked confused, like a studious primary school student.

"Want to know? Then tonight I will learn from Sun Wukong, awaken the golden cudgel, and defeat the White Bone Demon three times."

"Three Strike at the White Bone Demon?"

Liu Shishi still didn’t understand, there was no White Bone Demon in this movie.

Nazha on the side couldn't stand it anymore. She felt that Liu Shishi was really pretentious, so she whispered a few words in her ear.

"what?"

Although Liu Shishi has never had a boyfriend, she is not young anymore and must know about matters between men and women.

She didn't understand the meaning of Cao Yu's words just now, but after hearing Nazha's explanation, her cheeks suddenly turned red and her heart started pounding.

My boyfriend is so bad. He even fought the White Bone Demon three times?
Am I the White Bone Demon?

Does it hurt to be hit?
Thinking of this, her legs felt a little unnatural and she stood up and ran straight to the bathroom.

On the way, she even thought of the name of her future child.

"Is she really still that? She is such a rare creature. No wonder the boss wants to take action against her."

Nazha looked at Liu Shishi who ran to the bathroom with a red face, and felt that it was rare to find such an actress in the entertainment industry.

After watching the movie, the three returned to Cao Yu’s lakeside villa in Hangzhou.

This property was bought by Cao Yu many years ago. Although he only lives there a few times a year, he still keeps it clean.

When they arrived at the room, Nazha deliberately smiled and asked, "How are you going to sleep at night?"

Liu Shishi immediately said, "I'll sleep alone!"

Nazar held her back: "How can that be possible? Someone wants to fight the White Bone Demon three times tonight."

"You guys fight, I won't fight!"

Liu Shishi already knew what "the golden cudgel beats the White Bone Demon" meant. She embarrassedly shook off Nazha's hand, found a room and ran in.

In the bathroom, she looked at her crystal clear body, hoping that Cao Yu would come to see her at night, but she also didn't want him to come to see her.

But after lying on the bed and waiting for a long time, no one pushed the door open.

She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, wondering what was going on in the other room, but the soundproofing of the room was so good that she could not hear a thing.

"Is he coming or not?"

At this moment, her mind was full of Cao Yu secretly climbing onto her bed in the middle of the night, and then she became the White Bone Demon. She couldn't help but hold the quilt tightly.

Suddenly, the phone vibrated.

She grabbed the phone and saw a few words on it: "Dear, I want to give you the best memory. Go to bed early tonight. Good night and sweet dreams."

When Liu Shishi saw this message, she was both moved and felt romantic.

Although she has made preparations, she still hopes to be respected by the person she likes, and she also likes the sense of ceremony. It seems that Cao Yu really cares about her.

"No wonder girls are so obsessed with following you. I finally understand why."

Although she was slightly disappointed, Liu Shishi was mostly happy.

At the same time, she also looks forward to Cao Yu agreeing to take her on a romantic trip.

She gently found a photo of Cao Yu, looked at it for a while, kissed it lightly, and then fell asleep with a smile.

Another room.

"My dear, you are so biased. You just take us directly, but you have to have a sense of ceremony for Shishi."

Nazha clung to Cao Yu's arms, watching him message Liu Shishi, and said coquettishly.

"Who seduced me then? And now you blame me?"

As Cao Yu spoke, he slapped Nazha's butt, which felt good.

"That's because people admire you."

"It's also strange that the White Bone Demon worships Sun Wukong."

"Your White Bone Demon is next door. You can't touch her, so you just bully me."

"I just like to bully you. You are also a bone demon."

Cao Yu said, turning over and grabbing the snow-white Nazha: "I hit you twice just now, and there is one more time."

The next day, Nazha was like a delicate flower being nourished. Liu Shishi saw it and was a little jealous at first, but she felt relieved when she thought of Cao Yu's message.

Anyway, just accept that he has someone else's girlfriend. Can you handle the jealousy?
After breakfast, Cao Yu said, "Let's go. I'll take you to Xiangshan."

"I heard that the 'China Music Show' is about to start, so we can just go to the crew ourselves."

Liu Shishi felt sorry for Cao Yu and didn't want to cause him so much trouble.

"Then I'll have someone take you there."

Today is August 7th, and there are only four days left until the first live broadcast of the music show. Cao Yu really has to go back and keep an eye on it.

After kissing goodbye to Liu Shishi and the others, Cao Yu flew directly back to Yanjing.

Two days passed in a flash, and "China Music Show" was ready.

On August 10th, all the singers who came to promote their songs were in place and began the final rehearsal.

At the same time, Fei'e Video, Weibo, QQ Music and other platforms released some footage of the rehearsal, calling on everyone to vote for their favorite singers tomorrow night.

At 8 o'clock in the evening on August 11, the Universal Theater, which was temporarily used as a stage for the music show, was filled with audiences.

In front of the TV, there are also loyal fans of Feie Video, waiting by their computers or mobile phones, waiting for the live broadcast to begin.

As one of the directors of this music show, Xu Yi said to Zhang Jingying beside him: "Boss Zhang, why do I feel a little nervous?"

Zhang Jingying was actually a little nervous, but she turned around to look at the boss who was leisurely drinking tea and said with a smile: "Look how calm the boss is. We have rehearsed many times, so it should be fine."

"Can we compete with the boss?"

Xu Yi has just graduated from university. Although he is considered a middle to senior level leader in Feiyu Group, he is still a young man in his twenties.

"That's true."

In Zhang Jingying's mind, the boss is so great and always does things that are unexpected.

A video website held a New Year's Eve party, which was a success. Now it is planning to hold a live broadcast of a music show. If it is successful again, it may change the entire music scene.

Xu Yi also nodded and said, "Sometimes I feel that the boss's ideas are very avant-garde."

"Haha, just follow the boss and do your job well."

Zhang Liangying looked at the stage through the glass, hoping that this music show would be a hit, and that Feiyu Entertainment's position not only in the film industry but also in the music industry would be unshakable.

At this time, other TV stations and entertainment companies are watching the live broadcast on their computers or mobile phones. They also want to see what this show will be like.

Among them are Ma Yun, as well as Huang Rui and Li Fei from Times Fengjun.

They originally signed up with a teenage singing and dancing team, but were rejected by the organizing committee on the grounds that participating singers must be over 18 years old and have representative works.

They are very depressed about this. Artists from Johnny's debuted at the age of thirteen or fourteen, so why can't you do the same?

Therefore, he really wanted to fail in this show.

Although their boy group has posted some videos on Tudou Video and is quite popular, it is far behind Yi Yang Qianxi and others under Feiyu.

Ma Yun didn't want to mess up the show, but she wanted to see what kind of results the singing and dancing group that Kim Young-min had trained over the past two years could achieve.

At 8:10, when the stage lights began to flash, seven girls appeared on the stage holding fans.

"I pick up a fallen leaf and look up at the overlapping of old and new. The flowers hesitate and the willows sigh. I dare to ask how I can bear it, and I feel sad for my youth."

When the audience saw that the opening song was "Wing Chun" which is very popular in China recently, they started screaming excitedly and the atmosphere was instantly heated up.

The good start made Zhang Jingying and Xu Yi both feel relieved.

Then he looked at the server with statistical data and found that there were more than 90 million people online.

"Boss Cao, more than 90 million, almost 100 million!"

Zhang Jingying excitedly went to tell her boss the good news, but Cao Yu said indifferently: "It's not enough, let's wait and see."

According to Cao Yu, the popularity of this program should be at least over 100 million.

It seems that 4G is not yet popular. Only some people who have WIFI at home can watch videos on their mobile phones. I hope it will be better next year. On the stage, Qiduo danced beautifully, she was beautiful, and her songs were beautiful.

Although their song was released in Korea, due to the average album sales and poor audio downloads, they did not choose to promote the song in Korea, but instead held their first stage in China.

However, after nearly half a year of training, they have strong professional skills and their on-site performance was quite perfect.

Cao Yu asked them to come back so that they could set an example and let all the audience know that the quality of our program is definitely not low.

After Qiduo finished singing her song, the hosts Liu Yan and Lin Hai, who were signed by Feiyu, came up.

"Good evening, audience friends. This is the China Music Show exclusively launched by Fei'e Video. Our show adopts the live broadcast format, which is groundbreaking in China, and our voting is also free."

"Thanks to Weibo, QQ Music, Huawei Mobile, Jinshengzi and Jiaduobao for sponsoring this program."

After a few opening remarks, Liu Yan announced the first official singer to appear: "Next, we welcome singer Cai Yilin. The song "Great Artist" from her new album "Muse" has been in the top ten of the Chinese music charts for a long time in August."

After the introduction, Cai Yilin, dressed in sexy attire, made a stunning appearance accompanied by dancers.

This is the goddess of many fans. How can she hit the jackpot right from the start?
"A full-scale singing? Fei'e Video is making such a big deal? Aren't you afraid of accidents?"

Many TV stations found this program a bit unbelievable.

After Jolin Tsai finished singing, Chun Ge immediately sang his new song "If We Don't Go Crazy We Will Get Old".

Mango TV also hopes that this song can achieve good results in this program.

Unfortunately, this competition was not audio-edited and was broadcast live, with no lip-syncing allowed, so Chun Ge's voice still had many flaws.

"Haha, if the result is just like this, and we can only sing in the recording studio, how can we make progress in the music industry?"

Cao Yu was watching the show backstage with a sly smile on his face.

After Chun Ge’s performance, a boy band consisting of eight handsome men under Zhao Yanzi’s Yunfeng Media took the stage.

This boy band was secretly trained by Kim Young Min for two years, with Wu Yifan and Huang Zitao who was discovered in China as the leading members.

They sang "I Don't Want It", a song which has been very popular recently.

The eight handsome boys were performing rap crazily on the stage, which really livened up the atmosphere of many young people at the scene.

But Cao Yu had never heard this song before. It should be that Kim Young-min or Zhao Yanzi paid someone to write it. The song is very dynamic and the dance is also good, but it's a pity that the singer's ability is really not good.

I guess I will be beaten to a pulp in front of a group of great players soon.

At this time, Kim Young-min was still feeling smug, thinking that the atmosphere was so good and he should be able to get a good result.

But after Shen Lanlan, Zhang Bichen, Zhang Jie and other singers from Feiyu Entertainment came on stage, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Especially when Zhang Jie and Shen Lanlan sang a song called "This is Love" together, their high notes almost penetrated the ceiling, making everyone who knows a little about music know that the previous RAP was simply garbage.

But that’s not all, SHE’s “The Flowers Are Blooming Again” made the audience feel like they were watching a fight between gods.

Is the first episode of this show so good?

"Boss, the number of viewers has exceeded 100 million!"

Backstage, Jane Zhang excitedly ran to Cao Yu's lounge to report the current number of viewers.

"not bad."

Although Cao Yu just nodded lightly, he knew that as long as there were such a number of viewers, the show would definitely become more popular in the future.

With sponsorship or something, I estimate that the investment can be earned back soon.

"Mr. Zhang, the number of viewers has reached 110 million, and it's still rising!"

Xu Yi's voice became even more excited on the intercom.

Cao Yu asked Zhang Jingying to turn off the intercom: "Thank you for your hard work. Come over here and give me a hug..."

On the stage, the performance continues.

After SHE, Hu Xia's "Ignition Point" and Fish Leong's "Love Reveals the Heart" made the whole show better than a concert, because every song is very popular recently.

"This is the music show we want. In comparison, those Korean pop songs are so weak. Boss Cao is still as awesome as ever!"

"Yes, Huaxia finally has its own music show. Thanks to Boss Cao."

"The success of this show will shake up the music industry."

The audience was excited and believed that with Boss Cao, the entertainment industry was developing in a positive direction.

In Hong Kong, Jay Chou was also watching the live broadcast.

"It seems like this show will definitely be a big hit this year. It was a mistake not to participate this time. I'm going to release a new song after a while."

He was not optimistic about this kind of live music show at first, but now it seems that he still underestimated Boss Cao's ability.

The entire stage, whether it is choreography, sound effects, or lighting, is no worse than that in Korea.

The main thing is that Boss Cao is really willing to spend money.

The audience listened to so many songs and felt they were all good. I really don’t know who will win first place in the end.

"When does voting start? I can't wait."

"Yeah, I like the song "Flowers Bloom Again". SHE is still so stable."

“I like the song ‘This Is Love’.”

"I don't know how the production team arranged it. Why don't you vote? I want to vote for Chun Ge. If you believe in Chun Ge, you will have eternal life!"

Just when the audience couldn't wait any longer, the host began to introduce Deng Ziqi: "This is a singer born in the 1990s. She is only 21 years old this year, but she has already performed at the Hong Kong Coliseum. Today, she will bring you a new song "Bubble"!"

Although G.E.M. was born in Shanghai, she grew up in Hong Kong and was not very famous in mainland China at that time.

"Deng Ziqi? Who is that?"

"Have not heard."

“This female singer is not tall.”

Just when the audience looked confused, this short girl opened her mouth and instantly amazed the whole audience.

"It's all bubbles, just a flash of fireworks. All your promises are too fragile. And your outline, it's my fault that I didn't see through it, that's why I'm so sad."

No one expected that this seemingly inconspicuous girl born in the 1990s could have such a powerful high note and such a good lung capacity.

At the scene, Kim Young-min was depressed.

He originally thought that South Korea's K-POP was invincible, but he didn't expect that China had so many amazing singers.

In this case, he couldn't understand why Korean Wave was so popular in China in the past two years?
If Cao Yu makes this music show popular, more musicians will surely emerge. Who in China would be willing to listen to Korean songs whose lyrics are not even understood?

This Cao Yu wants to control the Korean and Chinese music scene.

"It turns out that he is more ambitious and more terrifying than I thought!"

After listening to almost all the songs sung by Kim Young-min, I just felt a chill on my back.

After Deng Ziqi finished singing the song, although the audience was still reluctant to leave, the two hosts still went on stage.

"The last song of this episode has been sung. Now it's time to vote. Audiences can log on to Weibo and follow "China Music Show" to vote. Friendly reminder, everyone only has one chance to vote."

"The audience can use the voting devices in their hands to vote for their favorite songs. After we finish performing the songs, the voting will stop!"

After hearing these rules, the audience realized that this method was designed to prevent vote-rigging.

This show is so fair.

Many people feel that with Boss Cao around, there is hope for the Chinese music scene.

The performance song was "Our Ballad" sung by Phoenix Legend.

This song is a new song released by Phoenix Legend this year. Although it is not as popular as "Light" and "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond" in the album, it is very suitable for this program.

"My love is like the ash in the sand, burying the sorrow of falling tears. No matter how hard I try, I can't wipe away the heartbreak. Every inch of lovesickness is an inch of fragrance."

Amid the melodious singing of Bell Flower, the number of voters in this issue reached more than 80 million.

After singing Legend of Phoenix, the host asked all the singers to come on stage.

This segment is similar to Korea's Music Bank.

After the singer came on stage, voting, popularity, song download data and other data immediately appeared on the big screen. The top three were "The Flowers Are Blooming Again", "This Is Love", and "Bubble".

"So nervous! Who will be first?"

"All three songs are good. I don't know."

“This kind of on-site voting is really participatory.”

"The production team is really conscientious. It seems that if you want to become famous in this show, you really need some real skills."

"Those who like to listen to it will be blessed in the future. This is much better than other singing programs."

In previous singing programs, not only were the recordings conducted, but the voting was also not open to the public, so it was too easy to manipulate. However, Feiyu’s program only has five minutes of voting time, and the results are announced on the spot to ensure fairness.

The data of the three songs kept jumping, and finally, the first place was fixed on SHE.

"The song that won the first episode of "China Music Show" is "The Flowers Are Blooming Again"!"

Under the host's voice, the streamers on the scene fluttered, and also showed that this episode was very successful.

"Hey"

Cao Yu actually likes the song "Bubble" more, but SHE is too popular now.

For the sake of fairness, he couldn't change the result.

"Oh, I regret it."

After watching the first episode of "China Music Show", the director of CCTV felt extremely regretful.

This program is not only successful, but also very popular. We should have collaborated with Boss Cao from the beginning.

It's a pity that I was too afraid of things and missed such a good show.

The director of Mango TV was very confused when he saw that Chun Ge didn't even make it into the top three.

"Boss Cao didn't even let his singers take first place. Is he really pursuing fairness? Does he really not want to make money? I just can't understand it."

Seeing how successful the show was, other entertainment companies began to consider how to get their own singers onto the stage.

Huang Rui of Times Fengjun was also very conflicted.

It turns out that Boss Cao really didn't let Yi Yang Qianxi and the others go on stage.

Is it true that China and Japan are really so different that there is really no market for stars who are trained as artists?
