China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 667 665. New rich list is out, the world’s richest man!

In the boss' office of Feiyu Entertainment, Cao Yu was delighted as he read the news.

He originally sold the script of "Palace" to Ma Yun just to disgust her.

Now that the goal has been achieved, and Wu Yifan has become more interesting, it can be considered an unexpected gain.

"Wang Sicong started to criticize me. Haha, the entertainment industry is going to be very lively now. I wonder if Mr. Ma will be so angry that he will throw his phone again?"

Cao Yu grinned wickedly, picked up the document on the table again, and saw at first glance that the number of viewers for each episode of "China Music Show" is now around 100 million.

After the live broadcast, the highlights can be played millions of times.

The program not only made new singers such as Deng Ziqi, Hu Xia, and Zhang Bichen famous, but also provided a platform for veteran singers to promote themselves.

After SHE won three championships in "China Music Show", they chose to launch the song "Bubble" by Deng Ziqi, which finally won the first championship.

In order to appear on Boss Cao's show, Jay Chou released his new album "12 New Works", one of the songs "Red Dust Inn" was very popular.

In addition to her, Zhang Shaohan also released a new album "Visible Wings".

On Feiyu's side, Xu Shangao also took out his album called "Why Not Go Have Tea", and the new song "A Glimpse" in the album has already been listed on the Chinese Music Popular Chart.

Zhang Liangying also acquired an original ancient music team called "Mo Ming Qi Miao" and created an album called "All About the World" for Zhang Bichen.

In addition to these, many entertainment companies have also launched several ancient style girl groups, making the music scene a little more flourishing.

Cao Yu was actually very pleased that such results could be achieved in just over a month.

Such popularity brought tens of millions of members to Feie Video and caused the company's stock price to rise again.

Many excellent creators have emerged in the music industry, making the music scene prosperous.

Cao Yu was looking at documents when Yang Mi suddenly walked in.

"Brother, I'm done!"

"That was pretty fast. Where's Tiantian?"

"You're thinking about her in your heart? It's a pity that she hasn't come back yet."

Yang Mi sat directly on Cao Yu's lap: "Brother, I heard that the Forbes rich list is about to be announced. Some people analyzed that you are likely to become the world's richest man."

"How come I'm the richest man, so you're so happy?"

"That's right. I will be the richest man's woman in the future. Can you be happy?"

Yang Mi hooked her arm around Cao Yu's neck and said with a seductive look: "Brother, I want to give birth to a son for you again."

"Give birth in the evening."

Cao Yu still has things to deal with, and has no time to think about having a son for the time being: "Have you watched "Palace Lock and Bead Curtain"? "

"I saw it. What kind of crap was that? It's so ugly. That Wu Yifan should be banned."

Yang Mi has been in Feiyu for so many years, so naturally her perspective is different, and she also can't stand young hunks like Wu Yifan.

"Boss Yang, just because of what you said, I will feel relieved when investing in TV series and movies in the future."

Cao Yu is very pleased. As long as Yang Mi doesn't take on random roles and develops steadily, there will be fewer bad movies in the entertainment industry.

"Brother, do you have a good script?"

"No, try to find the scripts yourself in the future. If you're worried about not being able to grasp it, it's okay for me to help you think about it."

"Ok."

"Tiny Times" was a huge hit, and Guo Xiaosi divided the film into two parts. The first part had such a high box office, the second part is expected to make some money as well.

This has given Yang Mi more confidence, and she plans to do something big on her own.

Even if you don't do it well, you still have your brother behind you.

After agreeing with Yang Mi to have a baby at night, Cao Yu continued to sign the documents.

During this year's National Day holiday, the competition in the film market was not very fierce.

In addition to "The Palace of Bronze Birds" promoted by Chow Yun-fat, "Dangerous Liaisons" starring Zhang Ziyi, "Double Exposure" starring Fan Erbing, and "Mr. Donkey" starring Feiyu.

This is known as the "most tragic National Day period in history". Cao Yu put "Duds" in this time period, which also allowed this film to emerge as a dark horse.

Besides, the assistant director of this film is Han Sanping's daughter. Who in the theater wouldn't give him some face?

From Hollywood, only two films were released in China, one was Universal's "The Wolf of Wall Street" and the other was "Looper".

"The Wolf of Wall Street" was released in North America on May 1st, and then entered more than 20 other countries, earning more than 400 million US dollars.

However, because the film contained some scenes that were not allowed to be shown in China, significant cuts were made and it was difficult to pass the review, so it was several months later than other regions.

As for "Looper", Cao Yu has never seen it. He believes that this year's National Day box office will probably have two dark horses: "Duds" and "The Wolf of Wall Street".

However, others in the entertainment industry think so.

Although "Duds" is the work of Feiyu, all the screenwriters, actors and directors are newcomers, including assistant director Han Jianu.

Can a film like this achieve good results?
Therefore, everyone is still optimistic about "The Palace of Bronze Birds" starring Chow Yun-fat. Some people even analyzed that this film will definitely enter the billion club this year.

“These film critics are awesome!”

Cao Yu found the news very funny.

Does a movie with big names necessarily mean it will be a good one?
In the evening, Cao Yu came to Yang Mi's villa.

Boss Yang was reading a book under the dim light, looking very peaceful.

But the silk pajamas vaguely outlined her mature curves, especially her chest, which could be felt to be heavy with every breath.

"What are you reading?"

Cao Yu walked over and put his arm around her shoulders.

"A novel called 'Grave Robbers' Chronicles'. I heard that this book was very good when I was filming in Hong Kong some time ago. I read it and it was indeed good."

Yang Mi put the book down and leaned on Cao Yu: "Brother, can this book be made into a movie?"

"This book?"

Cao Yu doesn’t even know how to give a good evaluation.

The book is a good one, but the two film and television dramas adapted from it had a score of 4.8 for the movie and 5.5 for the TV series, both of which failed.

Although the movie did well at the box office, it was not very well made.

The special effects are only 50 cents, and there are a few young actors, one can only fight, and the other can only act silly. If it weren't for some fans who came to see Lu Han, it would be a blessing if the box office could reach 500 million.

However, the ratings of "The Lost Tomb" and several other dramas adapted from novels were mediocre.

Seeing her brother's strange expression, Yang Mi asked, "Why? Is it difficult to adapt?"

"It can be adapted, you just need to find a good screenwriter. As long as you tell the story well, I will invest with you."

Cao Yu has always followed a principle that the core of a movie is still the story, followed by acting, and then special effects and pictures. Only when all three are achieved can it be considered a good movie.

You didn't even tell the story well, and using some fancy special effects will only cause visual fatigue and will not become a classic.

“What about copyright?”

"In Singularity, if you want, I'll give it to you cheaply."

“Can’t it be free?”

"Then it depends on your performance tonight."

"When did I behave badly?"

Yang Mi didn't have the heart to read at this time. She stood up and clung to Cao Yu: "Brother, carry me to take a bath, and then make a baby."

On September 1, "Tiny Times " was released, having grossed a total of million yuan.

Yang Mile went crazy. He made 100 million yuan from just the first film.

It’s great to follow my brother.

On September 15th, in the sixth episode of "China Music Show", Jay Chou, whom the audience had been looking forward to, finally took the stage.

This is the most popular star to have participated in the show since its launch.

That night, the number of people watching online exceeded 150 million.

That night, great songs such as "A Glimpse of Beauty", "The Whole World", and "Visible Wings" were performed one after another, overwhelming all the singing variety shows.

Finally, Jay Chou, wearing Hanfu, appeared on stage and sang "Red Dust Inn", which brought the show to a climax and won him the final championship.

That night, "China Music Show" created a miracle of 180 million online viewers, allowing the entire entertainment industry to once again witness the horror of this show.

At the same time, everyone fully believes that this program is truly fair.

Since the program began, no singer or group under Feiyu has won the championship in the past five episodes.

This is much fairer than some programs that decide the champions in advance, and the audience's votes will really affect the outcome of the champion, giving the audience a real sense of participation.

Hangcheng.

Ma Yun is also watching this show.

He really couldn't understand why whatever Cao Yu did became popular?

Feiyu randomly put forward Xu Shangao or Zhang Bichen, and they defeated the group that Kim Youngmin had trained hard for two years without any chance to fight back.

Is it really true that Korean and Korean methods are not accepted by China?

Or is it because of what Cao Yu did last time in Korea that young people nowadays don’t like Korean Wave?
Or is it that Kim Young-min, who lost all of SM, is just too stupid?

Since this guy can't create value for the company, it's better to let him go!

With this idea in mind, he immediately called Zhao Yanzi.

"Yanzi, why don't you fire Wu Yifan? He's been banned anyway."

He didn't mention Kim Young Min right away, but mentioned Wu Yifan first. Now he felt annoyed when he thought of this person.

"opened?"

Zhao Yanzi has been very depressed recently because "Palace Lock and Beads Curtain" was filmed so badly that she herself was scolded by the audience. The rating was even only 3.2, which was so embarrassing.

But Wu Yifan is still quite handsome, so why is he not popular?
She suggested: "Boss Ma, why don't you try to get him to endorse foreign luxury perfumes, show his face in more commercials, or find an acting coach to guide him. We have invested so much in him, it would be a shame to fire him directly."

"This." Ma Yun couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this suggestion.

Several major foreign luxury brands are competing with Boss Cao, and this is known to everyone in the entertainment industry.

Would Boss Cao be unhappy if Wu Yifan were to endorse luxury goods?

Just as he was struggling, Zhao Yanzi said, "Boss Ma, I'll take care of this matter, and you can just stay behind the scenes."

"Okay, you decide."

Ma Yun thought it was a good idea and nodded in agreement. Then she talked about the real purpose: "You should have learned the training method of Jin Yingmin. It's useless for him to get such a high salary every year. Besides, his concept of training trainees is not good. It's better to return the shares to him and let him go."

"."

Zhao Yanzi was very confused. What happened to Mr. Ma today?
Not only did he want to fire Chris Oh, he also wanted to fire Kim Young Min? What motivated him?
But then I thought about it, the boss was right, Kim Young-min had an annual salary of more than 2 million, and he created the CK-BOYS idol boy group, but it's not popular.

As for the girl group, no group has been formed yet and the members are still in training, so it is indeed a bit of a waste to keep this stick.

Just open it.

After agreeing to Ma Yun, Zhao Yanzi found Jin Yingmin the next day and told him Boss Ma's idea.

"Slaying the mill and killing the donkey?"

Kim Young-min was stunned. Was he going to be unemployed again?

He said he would wait until the company went public, but now he wants to fire himself? Ma Yun is really cruel.

He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "Okay! I'm leaving! How about my investment?"

"The company has suffered a huge loss recently, and you should bear some responsibility. We have calculated the current financial situation and were originally only going to refund you 6.7 million US dollars, but considering that we have been cooperating for so long, Mr. Ma agreed to refund you 7 million US dollars."

Zhao Yanzi and Ma Yun had already agreed on this figure, which was to be deducted from the annual salary that Jin Yingmin had earned in recent years and the cost of training artists.

"black!"

Jin Yingmin cursed in his heart.

He had invested 10 million US dollars in the beginning, but the company was indeed losing money at the moment, and he knew that, so he could only helplessly say, "That's it!"

However, he had actually made up his mind to find another company to compete with Zhao Yanzi's company.

If you don’t steam the steamed buns, you’ll lose your reputation!
After dealing with Jin Yingmin, Zhao Yanzi called Ma Yun back.

"Boss Ma, the deal has been concluded. Jin Yingmin agrees to leave."

"Is he okay with the return of the shares?"

Just as Ma Yun asked this happily, a piece of news suddenly popped up on the computer.

"Congratulations to Cao Yu, Chairman of Feiyu Group, for surpassing Bill Gates's 66 billion US dollars with a net worth of 69.5 billion US dollars, becoming the first Chinese richest man on the Forbes Global Rich List! He is also the youngest richest man in the world!"

After seeing this news, Ma Yun's joy disappeared.

"What? The richest man in the world? How is that possible? How was this calculated?"

He no longer wanted to talk about Kim Young-min's millions of dollars. The only thing on his mind was Cao Yu.

The richest man in the world, the richest one among billions of people.

He hung up the phone and calculated Cao Yu's funds in his mind.

Fei'e Video's global market value is 150 billion US dollars, and his net worth is close to 40 billion, plus Penguin, Jingdong, Huanyu Group, Facebook, Apple, FNC Entertainment, Marvel, Tesla
"Oh my god, with so many businesses, this guy is so rich!"

Ma Yun felt so sad.

These are still the visible assets; there are many invisible assets that are not included.

In addition to these, if Meituan and Youduoduo are allowed to go public, wouldn’t Cao Yu be unbelievably incredible?
In the past, when people talked about wealthy people, they always used Bill Gates as an example. Now it seems that Chinese people will use Cao Yu as an example in the future.

On September 19, Forbes released a new list of the world's richest people, and the whole of China was shocked.

The first Chinese to become the world's richest man, this is shocking news.

Like Ma Yun, many people are also analyzing Boss Cao’s assets and have found that his wealth is probably even greater than what has been disclosed.

The happiest people are Cao Yu’s women.

They all thought that if they could give birth to a child for Cao Yu, then
I don’t dare to think about it, I really don’t dare to think about it.

Even Ju Jingyi, who failed, regretted not being bolder last time.

Otherwise, they would all be the richest men’s women now.

Although Cao Yu in Yanjing never wanted the title of the richest man, the title still fell on him.

He immediately called Tsai Chongxin and asked him to set up a charitable foundation in the United States after a period of time, put part of the assets in the foundation, and then slowly donate them to China.

Recently, he has studied the practices of many wealthy people, which is to set up foundations so that they can be tax-exempt.

My current identity is too conspicuous. I must quickly transfer money back to China bit by bit. I must not be a fat sheep.

After explaining these things, Wang Sicong called.

"Brother Cao, you are really awesome! The richest man in the world."

“I also stood on the shoulders of giants accidentally.”

Cao Yu acted like a Versailles man, and then said, "I see you've been quite aggressive towards Kris Wu recently, so when you have time, go and criticize those luxury goods."

"Anti luxury goods?"

Wang Sicong thought about it and thought it was fun, so he immediately agreed: "No problem, leave it to me."

Ever since he argued with Kris Wu last time, Wang Sicong’s Weibo followers have exceeded one million, making him a pretty big internet celebrity, and he just likes to argue with people.

I just finished talking to Wang Sicong on the phone and Liu Yifei, Jing Tian, ​​Zhao Liying, Li Xiaoyu and others all sent me messages.

While congratulating Cao Yu, he also expressed the pain of missing her.

Yang Shuxue naturally also sent a message, just asking him when he would come back for dinner.

Cao Yu also felt that it was inappropriate that he had not gone to see Yang Shuxue since returning from abroad, so he rushed over after get off work.

"Our rich man is back."

In fact, Yang Shuxue now hopes that Cao Yu can accompany her, but unfortunately this man is too successful.

Although I have money, for some reason I just can't leave him.

"Sister Shuxue, let's not do this. My hands are sore from replying to messages today."

"Who told you to have so many women? Does your waist ache? Let me massage it for you?"

"My waist is fine."

Cao Yu felt that his waist was in pretty good shape. If it were an ordinary person, after going to Korea or Japan, he would need to rest for at least a week after returning.

The two were having dinner when Gao Yala suddenly called.

Cao Yu thought she was going to talk about the rich list, but he heard her say, "President, Jin Yingmin just called me and asked if we are recruiting a president from Japan. He wants to join our company."

"Who?"

"Kim Youngmin."

"he?"

Cao Yu was puzzled. Didn't Jin Yingmin work for Ma Yun? Why did he suddenly want to join FNC?

"Honey, he said he was fired by Ma Yun."

"Oh?"

Cao Yu was worried that there might be something fishy going on here. Was it maybe Infernal Affairs?
But then I thought, I wouldn't be able to play any Infernal Affairs if I became the president in Japan, and even if the other party was an Infernal Affairs agent, he would work hard to gain trust.

There is no problem with Kim Young-min's ability, and if he can help his plan to create a girl group in Japan, it will definitely be helpful.

Thinking of this, he agreed: "Then let him go to Japan to try, but tell him that the company's trainees must not be used to entertain guests. If necessary, let him recruit another group of public relations."

"I see."

Gao Yala is now completely devoted to Cao Yu. Since this chairman trusts her so much, she must help her man keep an eye on the company.

"He's becoming more and more like a wealthy man."

Listening to Cao Yu talking on the phone, Yang Shuxue recalled what he looked like ten years ago, and then looking at him now, this man has changed a lot, becoming more mature and more charming.

"That's also your brother." Cao Yu said with a smile: "Behind every successful man, there is always an amazing woman. You are the woman behind me. You will always be my only one."

"Honey…"

Cao Yu's words touched Yang Shuxue.

Since you never leave me, I will stay with you through thick and thin.

She put a piece of king crab leg meat on Cao Yu's plate: "By the way, have you bought a yacht? You said before that you just want to live on a private jet, yacht, and island?"

"I'm already considering the yacht, but forget about the island."

Cao Yu is very practical now. It is difficult and troublesome to sell islands in China, and it is even more troublesome to sell islands abroad. It is better to buy a big yacht.

There are many wealthy people living on islands. With their current status, they can just book a place wherever they want. Why bother to do it themselves?

Yang Shuxue smiled and said, "You seem to be indifferent now."

"Hey, I've discovered that having 10 billion is almost the same as having 100 billion."

"But most people still want as much money as possible."

“Maybe they pursue different things.”

Cao Yu was talking, and then he remembered something and asked, "Shu Xue, how is the reduction of the proportion of real estate going?"

"It's being done."

Yang Shuxue answered casually that although cinemas were also profitable, real estate was more profitable. Not only did she not reduce her investment in real estate, she also developed several large projects during this period.

She makes money not only for herself, but more for the man in front of her.

Hope he can do better in the future.
