China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 711 709. Overbearing CEO Boss Cao; "Slam Dunk" released

Cao Yu ate a few dumplings at Yang Chaoyue's house and then left Yancheng.

Before leaving, he left 10,000 yuan to thank the father and daughter for their hospitality, and told Yang Chaoyue to study hard.

Originally, Cao Yu came this time, on the one hand because it was on his way, and on the other hand he came to see how this little girl was doing.

Now it seems that Yang Chaoyue is quite sensible. At least because of her childhood experiences, she will work harder in the future.

On the way back, Song Zu'e asked Cao Yu if he liked this girl, and was spanked again.

This Song Zu'e is a bit like someone who would tear off the roof if he is not punished for three days.

After getting on the plane, Cao Yu sat on a chair, took out a pen and paper, and began to draw Nezha's bun.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

After Song Zue was beaten, he was quiet for only three seconds before coming back to harass again.

"I'm planning to make an animated version of Nezha. Do you think it's good?"

Cao Yu showed the first painting to Song Zue. Although it was a cartoon style, its appearance was exactly the same as that of the little girl.

"so cute."

Song Zu'e immediately grabbed the painting and said, "Father, is this a Valentine's Day gift for me? I like it so much."

"No."

"I think it is!"

"Think whatever you like."

Cao Yu was too lazy to pay attention to her and continued painting.

Song Zu'e sat aside and admired the painting for a while. He himself had played Nezha, and now his godfather had painted such a cute Nezha image, and he still said that he didn't like him?

If you like me, then you like me. Why are you pretending? I won’t reject you.

After a while, she turned her head to the painting that Cao Yu was painting.

After taking a closer look, I discovered that this Nezha did not look like me, but the Yang Chaoyue I met this afternoon.

She immediately asked, "Godfather, do you really like the girl you met today?"

"I just like her, what's wrong?"

Cao Yu did not deny that he did like Yang Chaoyue before he was reborn.

This is mainly because this girl also came from a poor family, and through continuous efforts, she eventually became a star from a grassroots.

Yang Chaoyue's experience is very inspiring to him.

Song Zu'e jumped directly onto Cao Yu and said angrily, "Godfather, you can't like her, you can only like me, and you are not allowed to like that Guan Xiaotong!"

"It's none of your business who I like!"

Cao Yu pushed the girl away: "Do you want to be beaten again?"

Song Zue was not afraid this time: "Go ahead and fight me. You can like others, but you are not allowed to like those two people."

"What if I like them all?"

"."

Song Zu'e was stunned for a moment, and felt sweet in his heart. It turned out that his godfather liked him.

She looked at Cao Yu, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Then you have to treat me better than they treat you."

"they?"

Cao Yu was stunned. Isn’t it you and Yang Chaoyue?

Then I remembered that “they” included “Guan Xiaotong”.

He immediately said: "I have no interest in Guan Xiaotong."

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to a little girl like you? You can't just say such things."

"I also think my godfather doesn't like her. She's not as white as me, and her voice isn't nice either. She's far inferior to me."

Song Zue became happy: "Today is Valentine's Day. It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Do you want to try what I said last time?"

"In no mood!"

Cao Yu's face darkened: "Let's talk about this kind of thing after you go to college!"

"Then you can always kiss me once."

"leave me alone!"

"Give it a try."

"Wait until you're not a bean sprout!"

"Hate it, I'm not a bean sprout."

……

When they returned to Yanjing, it was already past nine o'clock. Cao Yu asked the driver to take Song Zu'e home, while he went to find Reba.

Along the way, I was so mad at Song Zue that I had to find someone to vent my anger on.

The popularity of "The Mermaid" continues.

At the same time, the follow-up "Slam Dunk" is also being promoted extensively on major platforms.

Douyin is constantly pushing out wonderful clips of this animated series to evoke the audience's memories.

"Knife of the Assassin 2" is about to be taken off the screen. Due to the strong momentum of "The Mermaid", the box office of this movie has been relatively stable in the later period, only to million per day.

Although it cannot compare with Stephen Chow's movies, the final box office is estimated to be around 1.6 billion.

"Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven", which was released two days later, has now earned less than 300 million yuan, and the investors are crying because of the losses.

Netizens all said that this kind of bad movie should be like this, and it would be best if they lose all their money!
In terms of TV dramas, Feiyu's "One Servant of Two Masters" is about to come to an end. Gu Jingjing, the white-boned demon who is eager to get married, did not stay with the rich man at the request of Cao Yu, but planned to find her next love.

Lily, who had been a mistress, repented and was no longer vain.

Now the audience is just waiting for the male and female protagonists to get married and get the marriage certificate.
After the Lantern Festival, the Spring Festival is truly over, and everyone officially returns to their work.

Cao Yu came to the office and asked about the audition. When he heard that only a few new people were signed, he didn't ask any more questions.

While I was working, Zhao Liying pushed the door open.

"Dear, a crew invited me to act in an urban drama, but I don't want to go because the male lead is too greasy. I wonder if there is a suitable role for me in the company's drama?"

Zhao Liying has been extremely popular in the past two years. Last year's TV series "Legend of the Mermaid" received good ratings, and her role as the mermaid Hong Ling left a deep impression on the audience.

Moreover, her acting skills are getting more and more sophisticated, and with Feiyu Entertainment as her backing, many film and television companies are willing to hire her.

Cao thought about the several dramas that the company had this year and found that there was indeed no role suitable for Zhao Liying, so he asked, "Which company, what drama?"

"What's it called? 'Shan Shan is Coming'."

“It turned out to be this drama.”

When Cao Yu heard the name, he immediately thought of the sentence "This fish pond is contracted by you" and the greasy Zhang Han.

But this drama is indeed very popular and has helped Zhao Liying's career. It would be a pity to give it up.

He thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I'll take this role, but..."

Cao Yu immediately called his secretary and asked, "Please help me contact the production company of "My Sunshine"."

After the secretary agreed to go out, Zhao Liying asked curiously, "Honey, are you going to greet them and take care of me?"

"No."

Cao Yu smiled softly, hugged Zhao Liying and sat her on his lap: "If you don't like that male lead, then replace him."

"Honey, you are so good to me."

Seeing that her man pampers her so much, Zhao Liying is very satisfied and happy.

I am now a first-line star, I have a successful career, and I have a man who treats me so well. It can be said that my life is almost perfect.

The only regret is that I haven’t been able to give birth to a child for the person I love.

"It's my duty to treat you well."

Cao Yu kissed Zhao Liying, stroked her round face, and said with a smile: "After we finish this play, let's have a baby. After we have the baby, I will arrange a better TV series for you."

"Well, it's up to you."

Zhao Liying is already 27 years old this year. Seeing that Liu Yifei has a child and Yang Mi seems to be pregnant too, she has been extremely envious.

The two were being affectionate and naming their future child, and the secretary had already helped them get in touch with the production company of the drama "Come, My Love".

Cao Yu picked up the phone on the desk and said directly: "I'm Cao Yu. I heard that you are going to shoot a TV series called "Shan Shan Comes to Me"? "

When the other party heard that it was the boss of Feiyu Group, he hurriedly said, "Yes, I wonder what instructions Mr. Cao has?"

"Isn't the male lead called Zhang Han? Let's change him to Zhu Yilong."

Cao Yu doesn't like Zhang Han. On the one hand, he drove illegally and dragged a traffic policeman, and later he took advantage of the actress. He gave people a very bad impression.

"Mr. Cao, I'm so sorry, the contract for the male lead has already been signed..."

The producer of "Come, My Love" is a medium-sized company in Shanghai. They took great pains to find the leading male role "Feng Teng".

We finally found Zhang Han, who is suitable for playing the role of the overbearing president. How can we change him just like that?

Cao Yu just said slowly: "Feiyu Entertainment can invest 20 million in this drama."

"Boss Cao, I'll change it right away!"

When the other party heard the number of 20 million, he immediately said, let alone changing the role, we can agree to anything else you want to change.

"That's it."

After Cao Yu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Although Zhang Han is more suitable for the role of a domineering president, Zhu Yilong is not bad either. He has better acting skills and a stronger ability to shape characters.

Seeing how domineering her man is, Zhao Liying feels that he is more suitable to be called "Feng Teng", but unfortunately, her net worth does not allow it.

After finishing this drama with Zhao Liying, Cao Yu was about to go to the Science and Technology Park to take a look when his actor Deng Chao suddenly caught up with him.

"Mr. Cao, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Deng Chao has been doing quite well in Feiyu Entertainment in the past two years. He has starred in movies such as "Chinese Partners", "The Four", and "The Mermaid". His status in the entertainment industry is higher than that of Huang Xiaoming.

Cao Yu turned around and saw that he was about to speak but hesitated, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Boss Cao, this is the case. I want to set up my own studio under our company, just like Yang Mi did."

Deng Chao hesitated for a moment, but still told his plan.

"Sure, if the money is not enough, I can give you some investment."

Cao Yu did not object. After all, as a man, who doesn't want to have his own career? Opening a studio will naturally make more money. But as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately asked, "Do you have a script in your hand?"

Deng Chao said embarrassedly, "There is a script that Bai Mei wrote. He was afraid that Mr. Cao would not like it, so he did not show it to me. I read it last time and thought it was pretty good. I plan to invest in it."

"What script?"

“It’s called ‘The Breakup Master’, and it’s a comedy.”

"."

Cao Yu really wanted to tear up this script. What a crappy script. Has Baimei's screenwriting skills declined so much?

But he did not directly attack his actors, and smiled and said: "Send the script to my email, I will take a look at it when I have time."

"Thank you, Mr. Cao!"

Deng Chao felt it was such a surprise. If the boss was optimistic about the script, perhaps the investment would be secured and the box office would be guaranteed.

As he spoke, he excitedly said, "I'm going to prepare for the studio."

After Deng Chao left, Cao Yu shook his head helplessly.

Is this guy going to start focusing on bad movies?
At this time, at Xiangshan Film and Television City, the audition for Xiaolongnu was over, and Cai Yinong also signed a girl named Zhou Yutong.

Chen Yuqi, who had been staying in the hotel for three days, was worried that Boss Cao would have someone send her a text message asking her to go to his room at night.

Or hint at how you are.

Several unscrupulous roommates kept advising her to seize this opportunity, fearing that if she missed it, she would never get it again.

Regarding this suggestion, she still adhered to her principles and did not want to do so.

But two days passed, and not only did this not happen, but no phone calls were received.

Could it be that Xiao Long Nu has already made up her mind?
Chen Yuqi was very conflicted, not knowing whether she felt regretful or disappointed about losing this opportunity.

Could it be that someone else took the initiative to go to Boss Cao's room and snatched away this opportunity?
Just because you are unwilling doesn’t mean others are unwilling. The temptation to become a star is too great.

Just when Chen Yuqi was confused, the phone suddenly rang.

It's an unknown number.

Could it be... that he wants to meet me at night...

Chen Yuqi answered the phone with trepidation.

"Hello, Miss Chen Yuqi? I am Cai Yinong, the producer of The Return of the Condor Heroes. Congratulations. You will play the leading female role of Xiao Long Nu in this drama."

"I play the role of Little Dragon Girl? Really?"

"Yes, this is what our President Cao specifically instructed. You should prepare yourself. You will need to attend three months of training in martial arts and horse riding in a few days."

"Thank you, Producer Cai, and thank you, President Cao."

Only then did Chen Yuqi believe that what she had just heard was true.

She hung up the phone, and her excitement took her a long time to calm down.

Are you entering the entertainment industry now?

And she can also play the leading female role in Feiyu Entertainment’s TV series?
If my roommates knew about this, what would they think?
After calming down for a while, Chen Yuqi thought of Boss Cao again.

It turned out that I had misunderstood Boss Cao.

I guess he wants to look at all the actors and then make the final decision.

Although I am a newcomer, Boss Cao gave me this role without mentioning any unspoken rules.

Sure enough, in the entertainment industry, there are still good bosses like Boss Cao.

She immediately sent a message to the dormitory group: "I have good news for everyone, I got the role of Little Dragon Girl!"

"Really?"

"Did you take the initiative to seek the favor from Boss Cao? Or did he seek you out?"

"Have you ever been fucked by him? How does it feel?"

"so envious!"

Seeing her roommate say this, Chen Yuqi immediately responded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Boss Cao is not as dirty as you say. I didn't look for him, and Boss Cao didn't look for me. It must be because of my good acting skills that he gave me the role."

"No way."

"Is there really such a good boss in the entertainment industry?"

"I guess he doesn't like you!"

"roll!"

Chen Yuqi was not angry with her roommates at this time, she just sent a message: "I will treat everyone to dinner when I get back!"

Half a day later, a piece of news appeared on Feiyu’s official website: The leading female role of Feiyu Entertainment’s new drama “The Return of the Condor Heroes” has been confirmed, and newcomer Chen Yuqi will play the role of Little Dragon Girl.

Below the news, there are photos of Chen Yuqi during her audition.

When netizens saw Chen Yuqi in white, they were immediately attracted by her ethereal appearance.

"Is this the little dragon girl that Feiyu chose? She's so beautiful!"

"Yes, it's really beautiful!"

"Chen Yuqi? Who is that?"

"I don't know him, but Boss Cao has a really good eye!"

"I hope it can be filmed soon, we are still waiting to see."

After seeing a few photos, netizens praised Chen Yuqi's beauty.

And those girls who did not participate in the audition felt that they did not lose unfairly after seeing this photo.

At the same time, netizens have called on Feiyu Entertainment to quickly shoot this film, as they also want to see how this girl performs in the drama.

In the afternoon, Feiyu announced the other actors.

In addition to Chen Xiao playing Yang Guo, Mao Xiaotong and Ju Jingyi played Cheng Ying, Zhao Yuanyuan played Lu Wushuang, Chen Yao played Gongsun Lue'e, and Zhang Xueying played Guo Xiang.
Except for Meng Ziyi, almost all the contracted actors who auditioned this time have roles that suit them.

When everyone saw the female characters in this drama, they all exclaimed: "Why are all the actresses so beautiful?"

Yanjing.

Cao Yu and Cai Yinong just finished a phone call and decided on the final roles of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and confirmed that filming will start on May 1st.

Before filming begins, all actors undergo three months of secret training.

“This matter is finally settled.”

After finalizing the cast for The Return of the Condor Heroes, the next step is to finalize the cast for White Deer Plain.

Because Li Wei has two dramas this year, she will not only play Tian Xiao'e in "White Deer Plain", but also play the chicken leg girl Lin Wan'er in "Joy of Life 2".

Fortunately, although Chicken Leg Girl is the female lead, she has very few scenes and can still coordinate well.

In White Deer Plain, the girl who played Bai Ling is Bai Bingyan, who has now changed her name to Bai Lu.

After finishing these two films, it was already early March.

"The Mermaid" was finally taken off the screen one month after its release, with a final box office of 3.9 billion.

Although this result did not break the box office record of "Wolf Warrior 2", it still made a good start for Feiyu Entertainment this year.

March 1st, Saturday.

The animated film "Slam Dunk", which has been promoted for several months, has finally been released amid the anticipation of countless audiences.

Before the film was released, pre-sale tickets exceeded 200 million in the first two days of its release.

This shows the influence of the animation "Slam Dunk" on Chinese audiences.

Besides, although this animated film was produced in Japan, the screenwriter Cao Yu is Chinese. In this case, the audience should support it even more.

Yang Shuxue, the boss of Universal Pictures, the film's distributor, was shocked by the pre-sale situation.

If the box office revenue reaches another 3.4 billion, why would we still want to sell houses?
Anyway, my husband has been advising me to give up the real estate industry. Maybe it's right to listen to him.

On this day, countless people born in the 70s, 80s, and even 90s went to the cinema to regain their youth.

"I thought I would not be able to see the national competition in my lifetime. Thank you, Boss Cao."

"Me too."

“I’m really looking forward to it. I wonder what the movie version will be like.”

"It shouldn't be bad. After all, it's a movie written by Boss Cao, so it can't be bad."

"Why don't you start yet?"

The entire cinema was packed, and almost everyone present was either wearing Sakuragi's number 10 or Rukawa's number 11.

During the period of movie promotion, the sales of Xiangbei's jerseys reached over 1 billion yuan with the launch of Youduoduo and Jingdong.

Moreover, the terrible traffic it brought was so severe that almost no one visited Taobao.

After a few minutes, the lights in the theater suddenly went out.

At the beginning of the movie, we see a long-haired man with a group of thugs bullying several students.

"The Flame Man Mitsui Shou?"

"Is this movie mainly about Mitsui? That's great! I like him the most!"

"I've said it before, Mitsui's story can be made into a movie on its own."

In the vote for the most favorite character in "Slam Dunk", Mitsui Hisashi, a rich second-generation, gangster, and prodigal son, is indeed very popular.

This is also the reason why Cao Yu wanted to use this person as the starting point of the movie.

The first ten minutes or so of the movie almost exclusively tells the story of Mitsui, with some of his family background interspersed.

Although many people have seen these stories in anime dramas, when these clips appear on the big screen, they still bring back memories for the audience.

Then, everyone, human or ghost, was showing off, and only Mitsui was getting beaten.

Although he is a gangster, he doesn't smoke, doesn't pick up girls, and he always gets beaten.

Soon the plot came to the part where there was a commotion in the basketball stadium. The pictures here were exquisite and the fighting actions were smooth, which was much more exciting than the script.

"Coach, I want to play basketball."

When this line came out of Mitsui's mouth and the song "Until the End of the World" sounded, some men who were already in their thirties shed tears.

This is youth.
The scene changes, and there are no memories, because all that existed before was memories.

All of Xiangbei's players are sitting on the Shinkansen, ready to participate in the national competition.

The national competition that countless viewers have been looking forward to is really about to begin...
