China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 712: "Slam Dunk National Competition"; Director Feng, the strongest worker, is online
"How is this going?"

On the Shinkansen train carrying the Xiangbei basketball team to the national competition, Mitsui's reminiscing was suddenly interrupted by Akagi's shout.

Mitsui, Sakuragi, Miyagi and other teammates rushed over and found out that Akagi was looking at the match schedule for the national competition.

Only Rukawa was still sleeping.

When everyone saw the battle list, they also made sounds of disbelief. Only the cute version of Sakuragi pointed at a name and asked, "What is Shan Gong?"

Mitsui said disdainfully: "He's called Sanwang!"

"What is the Mountain King?"

"Sanwang was the national champion team last year!"

"Then who will we fight in the third round after defeating this mountain worker?"

"Defeat the Mountain King?"

……

When the audience saw this group of problem kids from Xiangbei making jokes, that familiar feeling came back to them.

Boss Cao actually restored this scene in the movie. He really understands what the audience likes to watch.

Then I thought, Boss Cao seems to be about the same age as me, both born in the 1980s.

No wonder, it turns out he is just like us.

Afterwards, because Xiangbei was rated as a C-level team, it also had a conflict with the short-sleeved captain of its first opponent, the Touou team.

The story basically follows the comics, but the audience still enjoys watching it.

When we arrived at the national competition venue, the players began to enter the stadium. The music of "I Want to Say I Love You Loudly" started playing, and I immediately felt excited.

As an A-level team, Touou is still clamoring, saying that Xiangbei is nothing, and looking down on this C-level team.

Most of the people at the scene were fans of the Toouou team. Only Mitsui's friends and the Sakuragi team and others cheered for Shohoku.

Mitsui's gang of hooligans held up a big banner of "Flame Man", but were immediately chased and beaten by the opposing fans.
At the beginning of the game, Xiangbei did not have a good start. Miyagi's two mistakes gave the opponent four points and he was provoked by the opponent.

They were even beaten 9-0 later.

Although most of the audience had read the comics and knew that Xiangbei would not lose this game, their anxiety and anticipation were still aroused at this moment.

Moreover, the picture quality of this movie is better than the TV version, and there is no slow-motion scene of a ball flying for a long time. The plot has a fast pace.

The audience couldn't help but cheer for the team they loved as a teenager even through the screen.

Afterwards, Sakuragi used the shooting technique he had trained for a long time and made a three-point shot.

The air became silent for a moment.

The theater erupted in laughter.

The Q version appeared, and the Sakuragi Army recalled the efforts they had made for Sakuragi's special training, and they were all speechless.

Even the Touou team laughed at Sakuragi and Shohoku, saying they were not worthy of entering the national competition.

As a result, Sakuragi was hit on the head by the captain Akagi, leaving a gourd-shaped bump.
This scene is so familiar to the audience, but it seems like it has happened a long time ago.

The game in the movie continues, and the Toyotama team will soon be thrashed.

Sure enough, as Sakuragi was replaced, under the command of the fat coach, the gorilla scored with a dunk, which started the counterattack of Xiangbei, and the whole theater burst into applause.

Touou planned to seal off Akagi, but Rukawa broke out and reversed the score.

The audience was very excited. This was the national competition they wanted, the national competition they had been looking forward to for twenty years.

However, the ace killer of the Touou team directly gave Rukawa an elbow and injured him.

The game almost escalated into a passionate basketball game.

The first half almost ended in a fight. In the locker room, the fat coach said, "In the second half, let the opponent see your true strength! Do you remember how you got here?"

Then there is another wave of memories!

Scenes from Xiangbei's previous games against Shoyo, Kainan and Ryonan appeared on the screen one by one.

There is also Mitsui's promise to his friends, and that sentence: I want to play basketball!

The audience has begun to look forward to the second half of the game, wanting to see the counterattack they have been waiting for.

An hour has passed since the movie started. It was full of passion, suspense, humor, and memories of lost youth.

In the second half, Sakuragi played funny for a while, and then made a special training mid-range shot, which made everyone inside and outside the movie boil.

After all, this part left a deep impression on the audience in the drama version.

Sakuragi's handsomeness lasted only three seconds before he was immediately overshadowed by Mitsui.

With Akagi's presence in the interior, Mitsui on the outside could use one three-pointer after another to confuse the opponent, bringing the whole movie to a climax.

Xiangbei went completely crazy!

In the cinema, as Xiangbei blew the horn to enter the palace, the cheers stopped, and the cinema almost turned into a basketball game scene.

During the short timeout, Touou had an internal conflict, and a fight almost broke out between the players who looked down on Shohoku and injured Rukawa.

Rukawa's dunk over the pigtail, Mitsui's three-point rain, Sakuragi's jump shot, the gorilla's slam dunk, and Miyagi's passing were all extremely enjoyable for the audience.

Although the screenwriter Cao Yu deleted some of Feng Yu's plots, he made the movie faster and more interesting.

In the end, Xiangbei won the game with a five-point advantage.

The whole audience cheered!

But, this is just the first game, because the biggest challenge is the next game.

Facing the former champion, all the Xiangbei players except Sakuragi lacked confidence.

The Sanno team is also studying Shohoku.

Shohoku was also watching Sannoh's game last year.

"The opponent's No. 14 is the same species as the gorilla. No, it's a bald gorilla!"

Although there was no competition, Sakuragi's antics still brought bursts of laughter to the scene.

Sakuragi dunked from the free throw line during warm-up, but hit the blue ring
Soon, the match between Shohoku and Sannoh will begin.

Mitsui was so nervous that he had to go to the toilet. Thinking of his two-year bad period, he felt very regretful.

Unexpectedly, he met his most respected coach in the toilet.

Coach Anzai saw what Mitsui was thinking and said, "Sanwang replaced the player who was facing you, which means they are worried about you."

When Mitsui heard this, he was stunned for a few seconds.

Yes, even the King of the Mountain values ​​me, so what is there to be afraid of?
A confident smile appeared on his face
"Let's go! Conquer the country!"

When Xiangbei came on the field, only a few people from Mitsui's army and Sakuragi's army cheered for them.

On the other hand, the cheers from the audience for Sannoh were like thunderous applause.

At this time, some people in the theater looked at the time and saw that the movie had already started for more than 90 minutes.
The game has just begun, is the movie about to end?
The audience hasn’t seen enough, the most exciting game has just begun.

It was really nice to watch "Slam Dunk" in the movie and reminisce about youth with everyone.

When the game officially started, every player of Xiangbei had a desire to win in their eyes.

"boom!"

Sakuragi and Miyagi exchanged a secret signal with their teeth bared, then made an aerial relay and the basketball was dunked into the net!
The cinema was in an uproar.

"handsome!"

"So handsome!"

The audience almost jumped up when they recalled how they felt when they read this part in the comics.

Then, Mitsui scored three three-pointers, directly defeating the former championship team, which made the audience open their eyes wide and look stunned.

"Who is number 14?"

"His shooting form is really beautiful. I have never heard of such a player before."

Although the audience who supported Sanwang were severely slapped in the face, everyone still became interested in No. 14.

Someone from the Sakuragi Army heard these discussions and said directly: "Because he was a bad boy for a while."

After the episode, on the screen, Mitsui clenched his fists, looked at the scoreboard, and said: "Sanno, the champion team, we might really be able to beat them!"

"But those two years I lost..."

Then, he scanned his teammates one by one and uttered a sentence: "We are the strongest!"

The song "Only Staring at You" sounded and subtitles appeared.

"what!"

“Is this the end???”

"Did a hundred minutes go by so quickly?"

"I want to watch more? It's just the critical moment!"

"Boss Cao, you are so mean! You just got us excited and the movie is over?"

"The second part is coming out soon. We are short of money for a movie ticket?"

The audience in the theater wanted to curse, they simply hadn't seen enough. But the first part of the movie was over.

However, many people remained seated without moving; they could only listen to the whole song.

Until the lights in the theater came on, the audience walked out of the theater cursing. They were not cursing the movie because it was bad, but because it was too good and the screenwriter was really unappetizing.

Even so, the reluctance in their hearts and the memories of youth made everyone's noses a little sour and their emotions excited and complicated.

Perhaps, youth is gone forever, but the passion remains.

This version of "Slam Dunk National Competition" written by Boss Cao makes them seem to have returned to the days when they used to chase the drama.

Even though I curse him, I am actually very grateful to him in my heart. If it weren't for him, maybe we could only see the national competition in comics.

Although the movie is over, many people seem to have not yet come out of the movie screen.

Even when some spectators passed by the basketball court, they had the urge to go in and show off their basketball skills.
The movie "Slam Dunk" was released simultaneously in China, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other countries.

Cao Yu doesn’t know about other places, but in China, after the movie was released, various positive reviews flooded the Internet on platforms such as Douyin, Feie Video, and Weibo.

Everyone said that this movie brought them back to the way they felt before.

Some people also said that they brought their sons and daughters to watch the movie because they wanted the next generation to see their own youth.

Some people praised the movie for not only restoring the national competition and Q-version scenes, but also for featuring Mitsui as the protagonist, making it worthy of recommendation.

The next day, as Cao Yu just arrived at the company, the secretary rushed in hurriedly with a stack of documents.

"Mr. Cao, Japan sent a thank you letter, thanking you for your contribution to Slam Dunk."

"Hehe, how much is the box office?"

As a post-80s generation, Cao Yu naturally knows what the audience wants to watch, because the content of the movie is also what he likes.

It is normal for the box office to be good, and it would not be surprising if it is not good.

"50 million US dollars worldwide, 230 million in China!"

"Not bad."

Cao Yu just smiled faintly, feeling that everything was under control.

The high box office and positive reviews from the audience made "Slam Dunk" a hit even though it was not a good time for the film.

Shohoku's jerseys, especially Mitsui's No. 14, were sold out, and the number of views of the drama version on Feie Video also increased significantly.

March 2nd was a Sunday, and the box office on that day was higher than the first day, grossing 240 million.

After the box office results came out, people in the entertainment industry were a little bit incredulous. How could an animated film be so popular?
But at this time, Cao Yu had already arrived at the Hong Kong branch of Digital Domain.

"Ne Zha is our main animated film next year and it has to be better than Slam Dunk."

At the project meeting, Cao Yu issued such orders to the company employees.

The employees were a little confused. In just two days, "Slam Dunk" had earned nearly 500 million yuan at the box office. Could this movie about Nezha be better than it?
Boss, don't forget that Slam Dunk has a large number of fans in Japan and China.

Cao Yu ignored the employee's embarrassed look and continued, "If the box office of this movie exceeds 4 billion in China, I will give everyone a bonus!"

"Four billion?"

The employees were even more speechless. Four billion, are you kidding me?

Can a mythical figure so well-known to all Chinese people achieve such a high box office?

In China, who doesn’t know Nezha?

Could this movie remind the audience of "Nezha's Brain" that they watched when they were children?
However, since the boss had already spoken and made such a high request, the employees had no choice but to agree. At the same time, a project team was immediately set up to start modeling according to the script and the characters provided by the boss.

But Cao Yu feels that although it is now 2014, the national cinema chains have already reached the level of 2018, and billion is not a problem at all.

His real goal is 5 billion or even 6 billion.

I’m just afraid that saying it out loud might scare these people.

After arranging these things, Cao Yu went to the villa in Hong Kong, intending to accompany Yang Mi and Liu Yifei for a few days, and then invite Feng Xiaogang to come over to resolve the gambling issue.

After that, you can travel to other countries with peace of mind, take a trip around the world, and check out the situation of Douyin in these countries.

Hangcheng.

Ma Yun had just finished watching "Slam Dunk" and was a little silent.

The box office and popularity of this cartoon made him a little jealous, but what worried him most was the short video platform Douyin.

He believes that if Douyin had not been pushing wonderful clips of the "Slam Dunk" animation to users for some time, the box office of this movie would definitely not be so good.

“The publicity effect of Douyin is terrible.”

Ma Yun breathed a sigh of relief, totally unsure of how to respond first.

In addition to the movie box office, Taobao's traffic has been largely snatched away in recent days due to the hot sales of autumn clothes. Now Taobao's share in the e-commerce platform is less than 10%.

If you want high-quality brand products, users can go to Jingdong and Youduoduo.

If consumers want cheap goods, they can also go to Youduoduo, which makes Taobao lose all its advantages under the pressure of the two major platforms.

More importantly, after Meituan withdrew from the shared bike market, the number of WeChat Pay users surged, resulting in a large loss of Zhifubao users, which is also the reason for Taobao's decline.

“Should we also connect Taobao to WeChat?”

But Ma Yun immediately dismissed the idea.

If Taobao connects to WeChat Pay, it will mean surrendering to the penguin.

This was something he couldn't stand.

More importantly, Ali Group will be listed in the United States in September this year
What would happen if you knew that Ahri admitted defeat and surrendered?
However, wanting a higher stock price will not give investors confidence given the company's current revenue situation.

Kuaidi Dache and Didi are still fighting each other, investing more and more money. Let alone making a profit, it would be good enough to defeat Didi, which is backed by Penguin.

If the company wants to make its revenue data look better and give investors confidence, it can only place its hopes on the food delivery platform Ele.me.

"It seems that the only way is to follow Wang Xing's advice and have the drivers speed up the delivery, continue to lower the price of food delivery, and grab more customers and market share."

Ma Yun had long forgotten Cao Yu's advice on Peach Blossom Island not to exploit the riders. Now he just wanted to raise more funds when Miguo went public so that he could make his own way.

Of course, in addition to the listing of the group, he also needs to speed up the restructuring of Ali Pictures and shoot the movie "The Ferryman" that he is very optimistic about as soon as possible.

This project must also be announced before listing, which can also drive a wave of stock prices.

Just when Ma Yun envied Cao Yu and was preparing for the IPO, Cao Yu and Feng Xiaogang were talking about a bet in a club in Hong Kong.

"Director Feng, I Am Not Madame Bovary has been off the screen for a while. Is it time to honor the gambling agreement?"

"CEO Cao."

Feng Xiaogang is now most afraid that Cao Yu will mention the gambling issue, but he knows he can't avoid it.

But that’s more than 35 million. Even if he gets % of the box office share, after deducting the million investment, he will still have to pay more than million personally.

He hesitated for a moment, but still begged with a bitter face: "Mr. Cao, I don't have that much money now."

Cao Yu sneered, "No money? That's impossible. I heard that you cashed out your shares in Huayi, at least 200 million. How could you be without money?"

"."

Feng Xiaogang was speechless. This is all the money I have. If I give it all to you, I will be left to starve?
Recently, he got a good script called "Old Cannon" from his old friend Guan Hu and planned to invest in filming it.

If I gave you all the money, what would I do with this movie?
Seeing that Director Feng didn't say anything, Cao Yu smiled and said, "I said that even if you lose, I will still invest 500 million in your company. What are you afraid of?"

"correct."

Feng Xiaogang then remembered this matter. If he had 500 million yuan, would he still be afraid of not having enough money?
But if I gave you 200 million, then you only need to invest another 300 million in me. Isn't this investing my money in me?

And then I will give you 100 million in profits every year?
Cao Yu, you are so smart, such a dog!

The more Feng Xiaogang thought about it, the more helpless he felt. How come you got all the benefits?
But now that I think about it, it seems that there is no other way but to accept it. I might as well make "Old Cannon" well. I must not lose money this time.

After pondering for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "I admit defeat, I admit it!"

"Director Feng, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation!"

After Cao Yu finished speaking, he took out an investment contract for 500 million and a check for 300 million.

"Oh my god! You were already prepared!"

Feng Xiaogang took one look at the check and the contract and almost cried.

But it was a bet I made, so I had to sign it even if it cost me my life.

Cao Yu put the contract away and said with a smile, "Director Feng, have fun tonight. I'll be leaving first."

"Mr. Cao is leaving?"

"I have something else to do."

Having achieved his goal, Cao Yu naturally didn't want to stay here, and said to the two ladies in the club, "Accompany the guests well."

After saying that, he stood up and said goodbye and left.

Feng Xiaogang looked at the check in his hand and had an indescribable feeling. Would he become Cao Yu's employee?

But the contract has been signed and nothing can be changed.

After taking a look at the two good-looking ladies beside me, I felt a little better.
