China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 687: "Mulan" is a big hit, Guan Gege is shocked

Although this "Mulan" does not have a Hollywood production team and does not contain any plots that do not conform to Chinese aesthetics.

But as long as it has the original intention of telling a traditional Chinese folk story well, and the visual impact and auditory enjoyment that can make the audience feel that their money is worth the ticket, it is already a good movie.

Coupled with the reputation of boss Cao Yu and Zhang Yimou's outstanding directing ability, it is no surprise that "Mulan" broke the single-day box office record.

As long as you don't treat the audience as fools and show them basic respect, they will naturally buy into your business.

The news that the daily box office exceeded 200 million immediately caused a sensation in the entire entertainment industry. Many people in the entertainment industry couldn’t understand why Feiyu’s movies have always sold so well at the box office?
At the same time, such an achievement made all the women around Cao Yu very envious.

Yang Mi: "Brother, you are too good to Xixi, singing and writing scripts for her. I am not happy."

Cao Yu: "I have a kind of injection, it will make you happy."

Yang Mi: "Then come visit the set of Three Lives Three Worlds. I want to play now."

Cao Yu: "No! I'll wait for you to come back."

"Humph, biased."

...

Jing Tian: "Senior, I envy Sister Xixi so much. When can I also make a movie like "Mulan"? "

Cao Yu: "Don't worry, you are still young."

"Sister Xixi is only one year older than me, how am I younger?"

"Okay, you're not small, you're big, then I'll help Tiantian find a good script."

"Senior is so nice, love you."

...

Zhao Liying: "My dear, you are amazing. You broke the record again, but I am so tired from filming."

Cao Yu: "I'll visit you on the set when I have time."

...

Reba: "Dad, I don't envy you for having a box office of over 200 million. I just want a hug."

Cao Yu: "Come to my house in the evening."

Liu Shishi: "Brother, I'm almost done filming, do you miss me?"

Cao Yu: "I'll be back after filming."

……

Anyway, almost every girl around Cao Yu sent him a message, either expressing envy for Liu Yifei or missing Cao Yu.

Liu Yifei, on the other hand, was very calm and only sent a "mua" emoticon.

Cao Yu replied to messages from many girls, occasionally glancing at the interactive games between Atletico Madrid players and fans on the football field.

This year, Atletico Madrid won the La Liga with 98 points, beating Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and won the first league championship since Cao Yu became the boss.

In order to thank the fans for their love, he specially invited the team to come to China to celebrate.

Today, Atletico Madrid has not only become a world-class team, but also the most popular European team in the hearts of Chinese fans.

Neymar has also grown up and become the team's core striker, and his popularity around the world is almost as great as Messi.

His market value has risen from 3200 million euros to 9000 million euros, but Neymar has been listed as not for sale by Atletico Madrid.

The one hundred young Chinese people that Cao Yu sent to Spain also came back this time.

The children's football skills have also improved a lot. In a few years, even if they cannot change the national football team, there is still hope that they can change Chinese football.

Cao Yu was replying to Nazha's message when Fan Zhiyi came over.

"Boss, do you want to set up a football club in China?"

"Not interested in!"

Cao Yu immediately denied it, saying that he would rather set up a village super league or have some fun among companies with good relationships, than the Chinese Super League.

He didn't want to talk about domestic football and asked, "How is Mbappe now?"

Speaking of Mbappe, Fan Zhiyi said excitedly: "Boss, you have discovered a football genius. The little guy has excellent physical fitness. Now he is in Atletico's training camp. He is the best player in this aspect. He will be able to play in the European Youth Championship next year."

"That's good. We'll try to ensure that one of the 100 children can play in that competition."

Cao Yu said, and suddenly remembered something: "Next game, change the team's chest advertisement from Fei'e Video to Tesla."

Fan Zhiyi nodded and said, "Okay."

He had heard that the boss had invested in a car factory, but this car was not well-known around the world, and he didn't know what the boss was thinking by spending so much money.

Cao Yu’s idea, of course, is to let Tesla open up the market as soon as possible so that domestic factories can continue to expand.

While creating employment opportunities, it can also drive the development of domestic new energy vehicles.

Because Atletico Madrid's fan meeting lasted quite a long time, Cao Yu only stayed for a short while before leaving the stadium.

He has been very busy recently. Not only does he have to pay attention to the progress of Douyin's launch and the situation in the rocket research laboratory, but he also has to pay attention to the auditions for the "Drone Competition".

Fortunately, this variety show invited Yi Yang Qianxi and others to be the spokespersons. Although the registration situation is not as good as that of "Happy Boys", it is still pretty good.

After leaving the stadium, he went straight home.

Reba and Nazha had not arrived yet. After taking a shower, Cao Yu was lying on the sofa with his bare chest wearing only shorts, flipping through the Singularity Novel APP.

In the past two years, online novels can describe the body below the neck, so they have developed rapidly and have a large readership.

Cao Yu plans to find a popular novel IP for Jing Tian, ​​adapt it, and let him be the heroine of a movie produced by Feiyu.

The most popular novel on the Internet at the moment is the currently serialized "The Snowy Swordsman".

Cao Yu didn't expect that this author was still developing on Singularity and didn't go to other platforms. Maybe he was attracted by the fact that he had his own shares in this platform.

His favorite book "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality" was started in 07 and is still being written. No one knows when it will be completed.

In addition, the originator of the broken engagement trend, "Fights Break Sphere", has now ended, but its popularity is still very high.

Cao Yu hesitated whether he should take the shot or not, at least it wouldn't turn into "Fighting Spirit Turning into Horse".

After thinking about it, he felt that it would be better to make the animation of "Fights Break Sphere" first.

Chinese animation needs to rise, not just in the film industry.

As he flipped through the pages, he recalled the hit movies adapted from novel IPs.

Suddenly, an idea flashed into my mind, and I was just about to find the name of this novel...

"Dad, be careful with your eyes when you're lying down and looking at your phone"

At this time, Reba walked into the room, immediately ran over and pounced on Yu.

Cao Yu gently patted the fleshiest and most elastic part of Reba's body: "I'm helping you find novels to see which one can be made into a movie."

"Then take a look."

When Reba heard this, she curled up in Cao Yu's arms like a kitten, her hands moving here and there on her man's body, just like a student in a driving school learning to shift gears.

"Don't look at it."

How could Cao Yu still see inside now?

Fortunately, he had just thought of an IP, which was "Ghost Blows Out the Light".

This movie was originally starred by Yang Ying, but now that woman is gone. Among the three female roles, the second female role will be given to Nazha or Reba. Let's see who performs better.

"Look, they're not making trouble anymore."

Seeing that she had successfully diverted Cao Yu's attention to herself, Reba deliberately stood up and left.

"Want to go?"

In July, Reba's skirt was very cool, which naturally made it convenient for Boss Cao to do his work.

Just as he lifted up Reba's skirt, the annoying phone call interrupted Cao Yu's good time.

"Naza?"

Cao Yu didn't want to answer the call at first, but when he saw the number displayed on the phone was Nazha, he thought something had happened to the other party, so he had to answer the call.

But the voice on the phone was not Nazha's, but Guan Xiaotong's.

"Boss, I want to watch a movie but no one wants to watch it with me. I finally ran into Sister Nazha but she said she wanted to go find you and she didn't want to accompany me. I feel so pitiful."

On the phone, Guan Xiaotong's crying sounded very unpleasant, and it could be said that her voice was a little sharp.

"Are you acting out a crying scene for me? Unfortunately, your crying doesn't sound nice at all."

Cao Yugang was already a little irritated by Reba, the little devil, and when he heard Guan Xiaotong's fake crying, he became very impatient.

"???"

On the other end of the phone, Guan Xiaotong thought her crying would get her some comfort, but she ended up being mercilessly criticized by her boss. This time she was really heartbroken.

She said aggrievedly: "Boss, I just want to find someone to watch a movie with."

"hehe."

Cao Yu thought to himself, do you really want to watch a movie? I'm embarrassed to expose you.

He immediately said, "Give the phone to Naza."

A few seconds later, Nazha's voice came over the phone: "Boss, I was just about to go downstairs, and I happened to take the same elevator with Xiaotong. When she heard that I was going to see you, she insisted on taking me to the movies."

"Okay, come with her."

Cao Yu was too lazy to talk any more, so he hung up the phone and threw it aside. Then he turned to Reba and said, "A little girl will be here soon, so let's hurry up."

The traffic situation in Yanjing has been getting worse in the past two years. After more than an hour, Nazha and Guan Xiaotong still haven't arrived. Cao Yu and Reba have already explored the mystery of human reproduction and are now chatting in the garden to enjoy the cool air.

"Dad, 'Dragon King of the Divine Capital' is going to be released next month, and I'm a little nervous."

"What's there to be nervous about?"

"The box office of 'Mulan' is so high, it would be embarrassing if 'The Dragon King' didn't do well at the box office."

"It's OK if you can become famous."

Cao Yu leaned back in the recliner, enjoying Reba's small hands gently massaging his shoulders.

Although the movie "Dragon King of the Divine Capital" is not that good, Yin Ruiji's dance is still amazing.

Yang Ying was able to amaze the audience back then, so Reba will naturally be no worse than Yang Ying.

But he still reminded: "However, even if you become famous, you can't be proud. If your acting skills decline, you can give me a massage every day."

"Then can I retreat on purpose?"

"very eloquent."

Cao Yu discovered that there was a reason why this girl was doing well in the entertainment industry: she was indeed very popular with men.

"By the way, Dad, did you find any good novels just now?"

"I found one. It should be great if it's adapted into a movie. There's a role in it that's suitable for you and Naza. Whoever has the best acting skills can play the role."

"Then I will definitely work hard!"

Reba knew that Cao Yu should enter the sage mode, that it was useless to act like a spoiled child, and she also knew that he really valued acting.

However, my acting skills are similar to Nazha's, so it seems that if I want to ensure that the role is mine, I have to think of a way.

The two were chatting when Nazha and Guan Xiaotong came.

"Wow, boss, this is your big house. It feels bigger than our neighborhood."

Guan Xiaotong turned her head, looked around the manor villa, and sighed constantly.

He originally thought that the luxurious apartment that the heroine Tang Hong lived in when filming "A Servant of Two Masters" was already very luxurious, but he didn't expect that after seeing the boss's home, he knew what real wealth meant.

"Don't talk to me in a foreign tone. A house is just a house. Do you think you look superior by speaking in a foreign tone?"

"Boss, why do you speak in the same tone as our teacher?"

Although she was scolded, Guan Xiaotong relied on her young age and said with a smile: "Why don't I call you Teacher Cao from now on."

"He's really a Beijing guy."

Cao Yu snorted in his heart, then said: "Don't you want to watch a movie? I have a theater here, you can go and watch it."

Guan Xiaotong said disappointedly: "You won't go with me?"

"I'm the screenwriter. I've already seen the editing. You guys go ahead. I have something else to do."

Now that Nazha has come, Cao Yu would rather accompany her, and of course not this Princess Guan.

"I don't want to see it either."

When Nazha saw Cao Yu, she could no longer walk and didn't want to accompany the two women to watch a movie.

Reba glanced at the youthful Guan Xiaotong, rolled her eyes, and said, "Xiaotong, I'll go with you."

Having said that, he took Guan Xiaotong and left.

The villa’s private cinema is not small, and the films here are more complete than those in ordinary cinemas.

The two came to the theater and asked someone to start playing "Mulan". After watching it for a while, Guan Xiaotong enviously said, "When can I be like the fairy sister?"

"hehe."

When Reba heard the little girl's words, she didn't know whether she envied Liu Yifei for being able to star in such a big-budget movie, or envied her relationship with the boss.

She asked tentatively: "Xiaotong, you are so beautiful, are you in love at school?"

Guan Xiaotong is also a little smart, and immediately denied it: "No."

Reba didn't believe it: "No? It's normal for high school students to fall in love nowadays, how could you not have it?"

"There are quite a few people pursuing me, but I'm too lazy to pay attention to them."

Since Guan Xiaotong entered middle school, there have indeed been people pursuing her, but she did not accept due to her young age, and it is even more impossible for her to accept it now.

"Oh."

Reba nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "Are you interested in the boss?"

"No! I'm just a kid!"

Guan Xiaotong immediately denied it. Although she found her boss attractive, she couldn't admit it.

"Haha, that's good."

Hearing that she had never been in a relationship, Reba smiled and said, "In the future, if you need any help in the company, tell me, and I will definitely help you if I can."

She felt that given Guan Xiaotong's looks and cuteness, and the fact that she had never been in a relationship, her boss might like her.

Building relationships now and forming alliances in the future should be helpful to you.

This is also an investment.

"Thank you, Sister Reba."

Guan Xiaotong also noticed that Reba had a special relationship with the boss, and it seemed like it would be a good idea to have a good relationship with this woman.

In another room of the villa, Cao Yu was panting after exercising and was lying with Nazha, who was sweating profusely, to rest.

"My dear, I really didn't know Guan Xiaotong was coming. You won't blame me, will you?"

"If it's your fault, your butt would be spanked red."

"Why do you like spanking people so much?"

“It feels good.”

Cao Yu did have this hobby, and said with a smile: "That little girl is just like that, just ignore her, you have almost had enough rest in the past two months, and your acting performance in the last quarter was also very good. There is a drama called "Eastern Palace" in the second half of the year, and you will play a leading role, so prepare during this time."

"Thanks husband!"

When Nazha heard that she could play the leading female role, she happily hugged Cao Yu again.

Although she has acted in several dramas, she has always been the second, third, or even Nth female lead. Now she can finally play the first female lead.

“It’s the result of your hard work.”

Cao Yu smiled and said, "When this TV series becomes a big hit, I will arrange another movie for you, but you should learn to play the bass when you have time."

Last year, a short drama called "Diaosi Man" became very popular on the Internet, and the lead actor, Dapeng and the father of big health care, Qiao Shan, also became famous.

Next year is actually the best time to shoot "Sewing Machine Band".

After taking a shower, they just arrived at the restaurant when Reba and Guan Xiaotong also came out after watching a movie.

"Boss, this movie is so good and so shocking. Only Feiyu can film the scene of thousands of horses galloping and fighting."

Guan Xiaotong couldn't hide her shock and said in surprise: "This is an epic war movie, better than last year's "The Hobbit"."

The little girl said unceremoniously and sat next to Cao Yu, and continued with admiration: "And the song you sang made my blood boil."

"Okay, okay."

Cao Yu quickly interrupted the little girl and said, "Eat quickly. After you finish eating, I'll have someone take you home."

"I'm not going home. You have a lot of rooms here, so I'll stay at your house tonight. I want to experience the life of a rich person. I'm going to play games and go swimming. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

Guan Xiaotong said, and quickly said flatteringly: "Boss, please, don't rush away."

"You can stay here if you want. Don't forget to tell your parents."

Cao Yu looked at this little girl and felt that her personality was really like Yang Shumiao in "A Servant of Two Masters".

This girl's early films were all good, especially "A Servant of Two Masters", "Mr. Good" and "The Wrong Car", all of which she performed very well.

This shows that she has acting skills. We should develop her well and don’t let her become a popular variety show star.

The next morning, when Cao Yu returned to the company, he saw an email.

Due to the increase in screenings in major theaters, "Mulan" once again broke the record set yesterday, with a box office of 230 million.

This result was like a bomb, allowing other companies to once again witness the strength of Feiyu Entertainment.

At the same time, this film also performed well in Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan and other places.

Everyone is speculating on how much the film will gross at the box office if it is released in Europe and the United States.

In any case, this movie was a complete hit at the beginning of this summer vacation.

Compared with "The Secret: Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", entertainment companies once again realized that the quality of the movie is the key, otherwise it will be useless even if they invite big-name stars.

Today's Feiyu Entertainment is gradually changing the thinking of many entertainment companies.

"It seems like it won't be a problem for this movie to earn 500 to 600 million US dollars at the global box office."

After reading the email, Cao Yu found news about "Super Boys".

The top ten of the Yanjing Division were announced yesterday, and Zhou Di successfully advanced with an extremely high support rate.

Cao Yu felt that with Zhou Di's current popularity among the audience, it would not be a problem for him to enter the top ten in the country, and if Mango TV really wanted to do something, it would choose the top ten.

At that time, Yang Mi as Vitalik Buterin and Zhang Jingying as the judge will escort Zhou Di.

Therefore, the top ten games in August are the key.

I don't know what Hua Chenyu's expression would be when he sees Zhou Di's "Big Fish" and Mango TV's Long Danny.
