China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 722. Xiaoju has grown up, Yang Mi has given birth
The summer vacation of 2014 was destined to be extraordinary.

In early July, the World Cup ended with Messi's lonely figure.

In mid-July, the box office battle among the three domestic films "You Are the One", "See You Tomorrow" and "The Monk Comes Down the Mountain" was also quite lively.

At the end of July, the new version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" set off a viewing frenzy, making many families' long-sealed televisions come in handy again.

Amid such popularity, the reputation of Feiyu's products has been raised again and again.

While the audience was enjoying "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", they actually began to look forward to when "The Return of the Condor Heroes" would be aired.

In the crew of The Return of the Condor Heroes, Ju Jingyi had just finished filming a scene in the Valley of Unrequited Love and was preparing to return to the dormitory.

She plays the role of Cheng Ying, and her role is not very big, and the filming will be wrapped in a few days.

"Xiaoju."

Just as Ju Jingyi was about to open the door, she heard someone calling her. She turned around and found that the person calling her was Chen Yuqi, who played the role of Xiaolongnu.

"what's up?"

Ju Jingyi was very jealous of this girl who was able to play the leading female role right after her debut, so her attitude was a little indifferent.

"We're going to have hotpot together tonight. Do you want to go?"

Chen Yuqi and Ju Jingyi are both girls from Sichuan and Chongqing, and have a special liking for hotpot.

"I"

When Ju Jingyi heard about hotpot, she was a little tempted, but she remembered that she wanted to play the role of Little Dragon Girl but was rejected by her boss, so she shook her head and said, "I'm a little tired today, so I won't go."

"OK then."

Chen Yuqi didn't think much about it and went back to her dormitory to change clothes.

Ju Jingyi also came to her room and lay directly on the bed, not even feeling hot, and covered her head with a pillow.

Although Qiduo is now considered a first-tier girl group in China and has released a single that is very popular online, in terms of popularity, they are no match for An Yuexi, let alone Li Yitong.

And now with the hit of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Li Yitong has left herself far behind.

"I'm not bad looking, and my acting test scores are also okay, so why don't I have such an opportunity? Why can't the boss see my good points?"

The more Ju Jingyi thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and she even had an urge to cry.

"I have to finish filming quickly and return to the company. What should I do if my boss leaves again?"

Holding back the tears that were about to fall, Xiaoju stood up and walked to the mirror.

The girl in the mirror has a pair of bright eyes, fair skin, tender red lips, and a good figure.
Ju Jingyi twisted her body a bit, showing off her slim waist, beautiful legs and perky butt, which looked pretty good.

"I'm 20 years old now, and I look better than when I first debuted"

Ju Jingyi is very satisfied with herself and feels that she is much better looking than when she first debuted. Perhaps she has grown up.

"I just don't believe that my boss won't like me like this."

After admiring her own beauty for a while, Ju Jingyi felt better and murmured, "Boss, wait for me to come back."

……

Cao Yu, who returned to Yanjing, has been very busy recently.

Youduoduo is going to be listed this year, so he must pay attention to it. Feiyu Group has also invested in some industrial projects, so he also needs to investigate them.

In addition, some progress has also been made in the fields of rocket research and chips. These are not only related to the development of the enterprise, but also to the future hopes of China's science and technology. Therefore, more attention should be paid to them.

After finishing all this, Boss Cao still has to go to Hong Kong.

Yang Mi had called several times, saying that she was about to give birth and asked Cao Yu to go and accompany her.

TVB also invited Cao Yu twice, saying that the Miss Hong Kong finals would start at the end of August and asked him to be a guest.

As for the entertainment industry, several films are being shot as scheduled, so he doesn't have to worry too much.

In early August, the Marvel animation "Minions" was released.

This is a spin-off of the "Despicable Me" series. The previous two Minions series had good box office results. Now it has become the most profitable IP in animated films, even surpassing the "Kung Fu Panda" and "Ice Age" series.

This spin-off tells the history of the Minions and their quest to find powerful new masters. It is still suitable for all ages and is a comedy animated film full of Hollywood style.

The film was released overseas two weeks in advance and has already grossed 800 million US dollars.

After the movie was released in China, thanks to the appeal of Marvel and Boss Cao, it achieved a box office of 1.6 million on the first day of its release.

It directly suppressed the performance of three Chinese films.

But everyone knows that although this film is a Hollywood production, the screenwriter is Cao Yu and the producer is Marvel, owned by boss Cao. It can be said that it has half Chinese blood in it.

Many entertainment companies have analyzed that if nothing unexpected happens, the box office of "Minions" will be at least US$1 billion.

Boss Cao is going to make money again.

In this regard, everyone has no choice but to envy.

Especially Brother Chen Kai, his "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" was a collaboration with Columbia Pictures, and currently has a box office of only over 200 million.

This result is even worse than any cartoon produced by Boss Cao.

In mid-August, just when Cao Yu had finished dealing with company affairs and was preparing to go to Hong Kong, the prison storm in the entertainment industry finally broke out.

In just a few days, three celebrities got into trouble.

This made people realize that the entertainment industry is so chaotic.

The official Weibo account immediately banned the Weibo accounts of the arrested artists, expressing its zero-tolerance attitude towards their behavior.

At the same time, the works of these people were directly removed from Fei'e Video.

Brother Cheng Long also publicly stated that he had not educated his son well and apologized publicly in front of the camera.

But the one who is most troubled and regrets the most is Brother Chen Kai.

The leading actor of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" is Fang Zuming, who was just arrested. Now that this person is in trouble, should he cancel the film early?

The current box office of the movie is just over 400 million. If it is withdrawn early, it will be a huge loss again.

Director Chen wondered if he was unlucky.

I just want to make a movie that makes money, why is it so difficult?

Feiyu bullied me, even Han Han’s “See You Tomorrow” bullied me.

The movie may still be taken off the screen now. Who did my brother Chen Kai offend?
Just when Chen Kaige was hesitating, the Film Bureau and the Film Association made the decision for him.

Because the lead actor of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" is an artist with a bad record, all major cinemas were asked to remove the film directly, and the time for its re-release is uncertain!
Brother Chen Kai couldn't even cry anymore.

He just wanted to sigh to the sky.

Why am I so unlucky that even God is against me?
If I had invited Wang Baoqiang to perform as planned, would this kind of thing have avoided happening?
Compared with Brother Chen Kai's discomfort and sadness, this "Prison Storm" incident has made people in the entertainment industry panic, and many entertainment companies are even more worried.

In the future, when hiring actors, you must keep your eyes open. Otherwise, if something happens to an actor, all the hard-earned work may be lost.

Then everyone discovered that Feiyu’s actors seemed to be all good, and it was heard that Boss Cao had quite high requirements.

It seems that when hiring actors in the future, we should give priority to those from their company.

Cao Yu can only read about these things on the news now because he is already in Hong Kong.

"Hubby, I'm not happy!"

In the ward, Yang Mi hugged her newborn daughter in her arms, pouting her lips, and acted coquettishly to Cao Yu in a wronged manner.

She originally thought that she could give birth to a son like Liu Yifei, but ended up giving birth to a daughter.

Liu Yifei, who was standing by, looked at the sleeping baby and said with a smile, "Mi Mi, look how pretty little Yumi is. I'm so envious."

"Hmph, let's switch!"

Yang Mi felt very uncomfortable. Xixi, you have a son, and you are definitely doing this on purpose by saying such sarcastic things.

"I won't change!"

Liu Yifei smiled and rejected Yang Mi's proposal. She came to Xiao Yumi and said, "But I do like daughters. I want to give birth to such a beautiful little princess in the future."

Yang Mi suggested again: "Xixi, since you like my daughter so much, how about you be her godmother?"

"good idea!"

Liu Yifei immediately touched the baby's hand and said, "Little Corn, call me godmother."

"."

Cao Yu next to him was speechless. In fact, according to the relationship, Xiao Yumi should call her Xixi Er Niang. What generation difference does it mean to call her godmother?
Yang Mi noticed that her man pouted and immediately said, "Brother Cao Yu, when I get better, I will give birth again. I must give birth to a son!"

Cao Yu said: "Actually, I like daughters too. To me, sons and daughters are the same. Daughters are more like little girls."

"No, I must give birth to a son. I will never give up if I don't!"

Although Yang Mi also likes her daughter, she understands that in the future, someone will need to inherit Cao Yu's huge fortune.

Although daughters may have a share, sons naturally have more advantages.

Cao Yu naturally had no objection to having children: "Okay, when you recover, we'll continue having children!"

"Don't regret it!" Yang Mi said, and then she felt that having a baby would delay her career, so she asked, "Brother, how are "Eastern Palace" and "Go Princess Go" going?"

"That's almost it."

"Brother Cao Yu, which TV station do you plan to broadcast these two dramas on?"

"I'll see which TV station offers the highest price for "Eastern Palace" and I plan to only broadcast "Go Princess Go" online."

"why?"

"The revenue from online broadcasting won't be bad, don't worry."

Currently, the radio and television authorities have not restricted time-travel dramas, so there is no problem with "The Rise of Phoenixes" being broadcast on TV.

However, he heard that Ma Yun had been quite active recently. Ali Pictures had already been registered and was not only going to invest in a new movie, but was also going to produce a variety show with Shanghai's Siba Company and Times Fengjun.

It seems that Tudou Video is going to rise again.

If I broadcast "The Rise of Phoenixes" online, I will definitely be able to suppress the other party.

"Then I listen to you."

Although Yang Mi was skeptical about this plan, she felt that her man had good taste, so she no longer objected.

She turned to Liu Yifei and said, "Xixi, I heard that your Mulan was shortlisted for this year's Hundred Flowers Awards. Do you have the confidence to win the Best Actress award?"

"How do I know?"

Liu Yifei's starring role in "Mulan" last year did well in terms of both box office and word of mouth, and she was highly considered to win the Best Actress award.

But today, Zhang Ziyi's "The Grandmaster" is also very influential and is Liu Yifei's biggest competitor for the award.

Yang Mi pursed her lips and said, "Xixi, please beg him."

What she meant was that your man is now the vice chairman of the Film Association, and if you ask Cao Yu for help, the title of Best Actress will not be a problem.

If you, Vice Chairman Cao, help Xixi, then if I ask you for help in the future, you will definitely not be able to refuse.

Cao Yu immediately said: "Don't look at me, I will never go through the back door!"

"mean!"

Yang Mi said dissatisfiedly: "Xixi, look at the men in our family, they can't help at all."

"Mi Mi, if you say that, I really won't care about you anymore!"

Cao Yu was a little angry. Whether you can win an award depends on your ability and acting skills, but you are all thinking about how to use backdoors. Will these awards still have value in the future?
Are you really planning to turn Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and Fei Tian into the same as Water Eagle?
As he was speaking, Cao Yu's phone vibrated.

"Wow, who is this?"

"Vice Chairman Cao, I'm Xiao Zheng from the organizing committee of this year's Hundred Flowers Awards. The final vote for the winners of this year's Hundred Flowers Awards will be held in early September. Will you be there then?"

"I may not be able to go. As for the voting, you guys are here to make sure it's fair."

Cao Yu felt that China was a really evil place. Just as he mentioned the Hundred Flowers Awards, the organizing committee called him.

It’s just that Cao Yuzhen doesn’t have time to participate in the final vote.

Besides, if you guys vote normally, what difference does it make if I go or not? Do you really need to use a backdoor?
After hearing the content of the call, Yang Mi smiled and said to Liu Yifei, "It seems that it is really uncertain whether we can win the award this year."

Cao Yu hung up the phone and said, "What do you mean by maybe? Mulan did so well at the box office, and Xixi's acting is not bad. Even if she doesn't win an award, she's still the uncrowned king."

"Brother Cao Yu, I like what you said."

Just these one sentence made Liu Yifei feel very happy.

"Humph"

Yang Mi felt a little jealous, her brother had never said such words to her, and she still called him the "uncrowned king". When I have the chance, I must become the crowned king!
I have already won the Best Actress award and was nominated for the Best Actress for "So Young", but I have yet to win the Best Actress award.

……

Cao Yu is in Hong Kong accompanying Yang Mi, and Ju Jingyi has returned to Yanjing from the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

"Where's the boss?"

When she returned to the company, the first thing she did was to find Liu Muzi, with whom she had a good relationship, and ask if the boss was there.

Liu Muzi said: "I heard that she went to Hong Kong to participate in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant."

"Going to Xiangjiang?"

Ju Jingyi drooped immediately.

After she finished filming, she rushed back from Zhejiang Province, but still did not meet the boss.

It seemed like she hadn't seen Cao Yu for more than half a year, and Ju Jingyi really missed him a little.

"Maybe I'm in love with him."

Ju Jingyi sat on the stool, thinking about the boss's appearance, feeling completely exhausted.

Liu Muzi came over and said, "Xiaoju, do you have something to ask the boss? If it's urgent, go ask Yitong or Yuexi, maybe they have the boss's phone number."

"Forget it, let's talk about it later."

When Ju Jingyi heard this, she felt even more upset.

I've been in the company for so long, but I don't even have the boss's phone number. You actually have it. Maybe they really have a relationship with the boss.

No wonder Li Yitong got the role of Huang Rong
What she didn't know was that Liu Muzi was also guessing.

"When will Miss Xiangjiang finish? When will you come back, boss?"

Ju Jingyi didn't feel like training because she didn't see the boss.

Hangzhou, Ahli.

"Congratulations Mr. Huang on becoming a shareholder of Ali Pictures!"

Ma Yun handed the signed contract to the secretary, and then shook hands with Zhao Yanzi, her husband, with satisfaction.

After the reorganization, Ali Pictures has become a listed company. Zhao Yanzi and his wife used 1.5 billion yuan to buy 1 billion shares of Ali Pictures, becoming its second largest shareholder.

This was Zhao Yanzi's biggest investment, almost using up all her savings over the years.

She planned to wait until the company made a few good movies and the stock price went up, then she could sell the shares and make tens of billions. Together with her own capital, she would definitely be able to make more than she could spend in her lifetime.

"Thank you, Mr. Ma."

Mr. Huang shook hands with Ma Yun, and then asked, "Mr. Ma, when will the project of The Ferryman be launched?"

"It will be officially announced tomorrow!"

In fact, Ma Yun can’t wait any longer. The Ali Group is going to be listed next month, and the announcement of the project "The Ferryman" in August may boost the group's stock price.

Seeing that the official announcement would be made this month, Zhao Yanzi hurriedly reminded, "Boss Ma, the lead actor hasn't been decided yet."

Although she has been banned and forced to retreat behind the scenes, she is still a veteran of Ali Pictures and has the obligation to remind Boss Ma.

"Oh, I forgot."

Ma Yun was not very experienced in the entertainment industry. She thought for a while and said, "Director Wang Jiawei plans to let Liang Chaowei play the leading male role. He is very famous, so there will be no problem. As for the leading female role, why not let Yang Ying try? It just so happens that Liang Chaowei, the movie emperor, can guide her."

"Ok."

Although Zhao Yanzi agreed verbally, she actually did not approve of Yang Ying's acting skills.

She thought that Boss Ma must have taken a fancy to Yang Ying, so he planned to support her.

The next morning, Ali Pictures held a press conference to announce the official launch of the film "The Ferryman" and announced that the film will be directed by Wong Kar-wai and starred by Tony Leung and Yang Ying.

Although Ali is not as good as Feiyu Group, Penguin and Baidu today, it is still considered a large Internet company in the Internet industry.

Now that they have announced that they are going to make a movie, it has caused quite a stir in the entertainment industry.

The coal bosses are in decline. Will the entertainment industry be controlled by big capital companies in the future?

Although Boss Cao is also a capital tycoon, he is an actor and screenwriter himself, and all the film and television dramas produced by his company are excellent works.

Ali has now officially entered this industry, but do you know how to make a good film?

Hong Kong.

"Haha, Yang Ying"

Cao Yu also saw the news and couldn't help but sneer: "With your acting skills, partnering with Liang Chaowei, won't you anger the movie emperor to death?"

As for the film "The Ferryman", do you, Mr. Ma, plan to provide material for Golden Broom?
You won three major awards at the Golden Broom Awards: Most Disappointing Film, Most Disappointing New Director, and Most Disappointing Screenwriter.

I'll add another one for you later, which is the most disappointing actress.

"Ali Pictures, let's see how much you lose by then!"

Cao Yu clearly remembered that before he was reborn, he wanted to watch this movie because of Wong Kar-wai and Tony Leung Chiu-wai. However, since there were no tickets, he could only watch "The God of Cookery" which was released at the same time.

As a result, after it came out, it was found that "The Ferryman" received a lot of negative reviews and the score was less than 5 points.

In "The Love Master", not only do you see Clara Lee Sung-min's beautiful back, but you also laugh from the beginning to the end.

How many viewers were deceived by the cast of "The Ferryman"?
Cao Yu doesn't want such a thing to happen again.
