China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 745. This thief Cao, he killed people and also destroyed their hearts

"Want a role?"

Seeing that this girl didn't study hard and only wanted to become famous through acting, Cao Yu deliberately asked a question that all students feared: "What was your score in the final exam this year?"

"."

When Song Zu'e heard that his godfather's question was exactly the same as his mother's, he immediately wilted.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Cao Yu asked again: "Why? Didn't you do well in the exam?"

In fact, all the roles in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" have been decided, and even Yang Buhui is going to be played by Yang Chaoyue.

We can't let Song Zu'e play Ding Minjun, right?
Seeing that he couldn't fool her, Song Zu'e had to say in a tender voice: "Godfather, you don't like me anymore"

"You want to do this again? Can you try something different?"

Cao Yu rebuked, "Your grades must be bad, right? If your grades are good this summer, I can consider arranging a play for you. Otherwise, the opportunity will be given to someone else."

"OK then."

Song Zue was defeated by the question of academic performance, so he had to agree, and then said: "Godfather, I want to go and play with you."

"I'm very busy these two days, let's talk when I have time."

Cao Yu had just come back, and there were so many girls waiting for him to comfort him, so he had no time to accompany Song Zue.

After dealing with this goddaughter, Cao Yu planned: "If this girl does well in the exam this summer, we can shoot the drama "Legend of the Nine States". Xu Jing plays the role of a princess named Bai Lingbo in this drama, so it just so happens that we have arranged for both of them."

When they returned to the room, Yang Shuxue asked sourly, "Why did it take so long to send someone off?"

Cao Yu said, "Xu Jing has been too idle recently, so she asked me to see if there is any play suitable for her, so I talked for a while."

"Really?"

Yang Shuxue looked at him with a half-smile: "Xu Jing, this little girl, has never been so attentive to any man. You are amazing."

"Hey, you don't care?"

Cao Yu held Yang Shuxue in his arms: "We are already an old couple, why are you still jealous?"

"Do you think I'm old?"

"Sister Shuxue, what happened today? Is it different from usual?"

"Humph, seeing that Xu Jing is only a few years younger than me and looks so well-maintained, I feel unhappy."

"I see."

Cao Yu touched the wrinkles on Yang Shuxue's eyes, and said sympathetically, "When the real estate company's affairs are resolved, you can go out and play like Xu Jing, exercise and stay healthy, and don't be so tired."

"I hope there is this opportunity. I just want to help you more in your career now."

Yang Shuxue leaned on Cao Yu and whispered with emotion: "Also, a few days ago, when I saw those young girls dancing with you, they were as beautiful as flowers and full of energy, and I felt upset for no reason. Maybe I envied them."

"I see"

As a woman, who doesn’t want to stay young forever?
Even Cao Yu himself lamented that time flies by so fast. In a blink of an eye, it is another Spring Festival.
He hugged the woman and hummed softly: "How many people have admired your youthful appearance, but who is willing to endure the ruthless changes of time? How many people have come and gone in your life, but you know that I will always be with you in my life."

The women in the entertainment industry who like you don’t care whether your company is worth tens or hundreds of billions.

But Cao Yu understood that Yang Shuxue really didn't care whether he was the boss of a listed company.

This is the difference.

……

On February 3rd, half a month away from the Spring Festival, the annual Spring Festival Gala title bidding also began as scheduled.

Cao Yu hasn't participated in this event for several years, and his subordinates participated in the previous times.

But I heard that Boss Ma also came this year, and he guessed that Ali came for Huabei.

Because on the first of this month, the Zhifubao Huabei function was launched, and it urgently needs the Spring Festival Gala platform to promote it.

In the early morning, the morning glow shines through the mist and falls on my shorts.

In front of the gate of the Central Bank, luxury cars stopped one after another, and famous business owners in China got out of the cars one after another.

Cao Yu also came to the venue before the bidding started.

"Mr. Cao, long time no see."

As soon as he got out of the car, many entrepreneurs surrounded him.

Boss Cao’s Douyin and Fei’e Video are the best advertising carriers, and the celebrities under them are also the best candidates for them to be spokespersons.

The TV series and movies produced by Feiyu Entertainment are far ahead in the industry in terms of ratings and appearance. Naturally, many companies want to insert advertisements in movies or TV series.

Therefore, Cao Yu has more or less cooperative relationships with these entrepreneurs.

"Boss Sun, you look better and better."

"Mr. Zeng, business is booming."

"Boss Niu, there is a chance for cooperation."

"Boss Dong, I haven't seen you for a few years. You are getting more and more beautiful."

……

Cao Yu greeted these people one by one, and soon he saw Ma Yun in the crowd who was lowering her head and pretending to look at some information.

"excuse me."

Cao Yu walked up to Ma Yun and said with a smile, "Boss Ma, you're here quite early."

"It's Mr. Cao. I didn't expect you to come this year."

Ma Yun had seen Cao Yu a long time ago, and for some reason, he was a little afraid of this young man.

Seeing Cao Yu coming, he could only bite the bullet and stretch out his hand.

"I came to see the excitement and see if I can help Douyin win the naming rights again this year at a low price."

Cao Yu sat down next to Ma Yun without any hesitation: "Boss Ma, which platform are you here for this time? Are you hungry? Or?"

"Mr. Cao, I'm here for Zhi Fubao."

"That's it."

Seeing that his guess was correct, Cao Yu smiled and said, "I think I also invested in Zhifubao? It's been too long, and there are too many projects to remember. Can Mr. Ma help me think about it?"

Ma Yun really has the urge to hit someone, why are you pretending in front of me?

Can’t you remember investing in Zhifubao?

Are you criticizing Zhifubao for its slow development? Or is it because it is too small?

Just wait, I will make Zhifubao famous, and then I will slap you in the face!

However, it seems that the better Zhi Fubao is, the more money it will make for this guy Cao Yu?

So frustrating!
Ma Yun suppressed her annoyance and said with a fake smile: "Boss Cao is really a forgetful person. You invested more than 900 million in Zhifubao, and you can't remember it?"

"Yes, yes, it seems to be the case."

Cao Yu slapped his forehead as if he had suddenly realized something and said, "Boss Ma, since I also have shares in Zhifubao, why don't I not fight with you for the naming rights of the Spring Festival Gala this time?"

"It's a really good performance. You are worthy of being an actor."

Ma Yun didn't believe that Boss Cao had such good intentions. You obviously wanted to shut me up by saying that.

It turns out that life is like a play, and it all depends on your acting skills. You might as well go back to being an actor.

Although she complained in her heart, Ma Yun could only politely say, "Boss Cao, it's better to compete fairly."

"Well, since Mr. Ma said so, I'll join in the fun."

Cao Yu said, "I just hope that Mr. Ma can show some mercy and not raise the price too high. Our Douyin is still in a loss-making state."

“It’s a loss now, but the future is limitless.”

Ma Yun also knows that Douyin has a huge number of users, but it is not profitable at present.

He really wanted to make Cao Yu lose money, but this was totally impossible.

As long as you have a large customer base, you will make a lot of money in the future whether it is advertising fees or sales of some products.

Unfortunately, I discovered this business opportunity too late.

After being ridiculed by Cao Yu, the bidding for the Spring Festival Gala title sponsorship is about to begin.

The Spring Festival Gala has been a grand feast for Chinese people during the Chinese New Year for many years, and it is also a must-see gala for countless Chinese people when they are happy with their families.

But after changing directors in the past two years, the show has always been focused on educating people, and has lost the original intention of the Spring Festival Gala to bring joy to the audience.

Just like Uncle Benshan said, we spend most of the 365 days of the year receiving education, so can't we be happy for a while during the New Year?
Before Cao Yu was reborn, he started not watching the Spring Festival Gala in the past few years.

I took the program list and found that the programs on it were pretty much what I expected.

In terms of sketches, although there are only a few people from the older generation left, young people such as Shen Teng and Jia Ling have already taken on major responsibilities.

Unfortunately, judging from the title of the skit, one can tell that it starts off happy but ends sadly, with no highlights at all.

In terms of songs, except for national team singers like Liu Huan, half of the singers are from Feiyu Entertainment.

This Spring Festival Gala bidding event was hosted by Sa Beining and Li Sisi.

Cao Yu had no interest in the product placement at all. He sat next to Ma Yun, took out the paper and pen he had prepared long ago, and actually started writing the script outline of "Dying to Survive", as well as some classic shots and lines.

"It seems like he is waiting for the final title. I must not let him succeed."

Ma Yun glanced at Boss Cao and saw that he was so leisurely. He seemed to have guessed his purpose and became secretly alert.

Sitting nearby, several bosses from Gree, Wuliangye and other companies also came today for the naming rights of the Spring Festival Gala.

When they saw Mr. Ma's expression and then glanced at Mr. Cao of Feiyu, they all shook their heads.

It seems that these two people are competing with each other. It seems that it will be a bit difficult to obtain the naming rights of the Spring Festival Gala this year.

Boss Cao has money, but Boss Ma seems determined to win the driver, and no one knows who will be the final winner. The bidding went on for more than an hour, and Sa Beining finally announced: "Now is the highlight of today's event, the naming rights of the 2015 Spring Festival Gala! I hope everyone will bid enthusiastically!"

Ever since Boss Cao proposed the non-public bidding method last time, the final competition for naming rights in recent years has been following this model.

When Ma Yun received the bidding form sent by the staff, he fell into deep thought.

The idea Cao Yu came up with last time was so bad that no one knew what price others had offered.

If I want to win this time, how much should I bet?

He secretly glanced at Cao Yu and found that this guy had already written down the price and handed it directly to the staff.

"How much did he pay? Two hundred million? Or more?"

Ma Yun felt a headache.

It’s all Cao’s fault. What a bad idea he gave to the central bank!

Last year the price was 200 million, this year...
Will this guy Cao Yu offer 250 million?
It's possible! Very likely!

Ma Yun considered it again and again, and finally wrote down a high price of 260 million on the form.

He felt that this price was likely to give him an edge over Cao Yu.

After collecting all participating prices, Li Sisi and Sa Beining began to announce the final results.

"Gree, 200 million."

Ma Yun felt very proud and was sure that he would not lose this time.

"Wuliangye, 190 million."

"Mengniu, 220 million!"

……

The bidding prices were revealed one by one, and the highest one so far is Baidu's 230 million.

Although these companies are all very wealthy, everyone still focuses on Ma Yun and Cao Yu.

Everyone wants to know how much these two companies can report this year.

Finally, Sa Beining opened a form and announced: "Zhi Fubao, 260 million!"

"boom!"

Although more than 200 million yuan may not be considered a lot for the entrepreneurs present, this price is already the highest ever for the Spring Festival Gala sponsorship.

It is actually 60 million higher than last year.

Mr. Ma is really getting excited. It seems he has high hopes for Huabei.

Is the end of capital lending?

However, Mr. Cao’s price has not been announced yet, and I wonder if it will be higher than this.

Everyone's eyes were on Cao Yu, the first person to hand in the form.

Li Sisi opened the last form and her eyes widened immediately. She didn't announce anything, but glanced at Sa Beining.

"What's going on? Is it 300 million? Or even higher?"

Everyone was stunned, even Ma Yun became nervous.

Who makes Boss Cao the most generous person among all the people present?

Sa Beining glanced at Cao Yu's form and also gave him a strange look.

He looked at the smiling Boss Cao in the front row. As an excellent host, he smiled calmly and said, "Sisi, make the announcement. Everyone is looking forward to who will be the naming rights winner this year."

Li Sisi had no choice but to say with a strange expression under everyone's expectant eyes: "Feiyu Group, offer 100 million."

"boom!"

The entire bidding scene was in an uproar.

One hundred million?
Did something go wrong?
This is all Boss Cao has to offer?
Is it
Did he do it on purpose?
Thinking of this, everyone turned their eyes to Ma Yun, with a bit of gloating.

"Fuck! I've been played!"

When Ma Yun heard the price, she was stunned for a few seconds, then immediately gritted her teeth and cursed in her heart.

You want me to deliberately scare you and force me to pay a high price?
Are you intending to make me waste so much money?

You bastard, you are so bad!
Ma Yun cursed Cao Yu many times in her heart, but she still couldn't feel better.

Although he won the bid, he was not happy at all.

After the bidding ended, Cao Yu put away the script outline he had written, stood up and said to Ma Yun, whose face was livid: "Boss Ma, I said I won't compete with you, so I won't compete with you."

"Then I thank Mr. Cao."

Ma Yun snorted these words and walked away with a gloomy face.

I thank your whole family!
Cao thief, you not only kill people, but also destroy their hearts!
"Mr. Cao, why did you only offer 100 million?"

"Last year, your Douyin won the Spring Festival Gala naming rights for 200 million yuan. Why did you only bid 100 million yuan this year?"

"Do you have any intention in offering this price?"

"Mr. Ma from Ali made such a high bid this time. Is it related to you?"

As soon as Cao Yu came out of the big shorts, he was surrounded by countless reporters.

Facing these reporters' tricky questions, Cao Yu calmly said: "In the past few years, our Feiyu Group has won the naming rights of the Spring Festival Gala several times. This time I lowered the price by 100 million because I wanted to give the opportunity to others."

"Another reason is that the quality of the Spring Festival Gala programs has declined in the past two years. They have lost the family-friendly feel and have become more educational. This is also the reason for the low bid."

"As for me and Ali's Mr. Ma, we are friends. His bid is high, and it has nothing to do with me. I communicated with him in advance and said that I would give him the opportunity."

After hearing these answers from Boss Cao, the reporter was obviously not satisfied.

"Why did Ahri's Ma leave with a dark face?"

“Did you really communicate in advance?”

"Mr. Cao, do you have any opinions about the Spring Festival Gala?"

Although Boss Cao mentioned some problems with the Spring Festival Gala, it seems that it is not enough to make the news more explosive.

Facing the reporter's follow-up questions, Cao Yu felt that he had said almost everything he had said before, so he asked people to separate the crowd and get in the car and leave.

Soon, Boss Cao’s words appeared on the Internet.

"Boss Cao is so awesome! He said what we wanted to say but didn't dare to say!"

"I haven't watched the Spring Festival Gala for two years, and Boss Cao is just like me."

"His words really hit the nail on the head. The programs of the Spring Festival Gala in the past two years are really not that good, and the skits are not funny. They lack the feeling of the past."

"You want to use the Spring Festival Gala to educate? Don't forget, this is a gala, don't educate people."

"Feiyu Entertainment and Fei'e Video's New Year's Eve parties were so well organized, Boss Cao has the right to say such things!"

"Support Boss Cao!"

Netizens’ comments on Cao Yu completely touched their hearts.

Some people even said that it would be better to let Boss Cao direct the Spring Festival Gala. After all, Boss Cao has directed two movies and is the winner of the Oscar for Best Director.

Cao Yu also knew that his words would cause some shock.

But he couldn't help but speak out.

When bidding, he originally wanted to bid one dollar, but later felt that this price was too disrespectful to the central bank, so he changed it to 100 million.

In addition to making Ma Yun uncomfortable, I really want the CCTV to reflect on the programs of the Spring Festival Gala and include more programs that the audience likes.

After leaving Big Pants, Cao Yu drove straight to Han Sanping's house.

"Boss Han, I wish you a happy new year in advance!"

"Xiao Cao, it's a bit early to pay respects this year."

Han Sanping has retired, but still has great influence in the entertainment industry.

When he saw Cao Yu coming, although he complained jokingly, he was actually quite happy in his heart.

"It's getting late. There's only half a month left before the Chinese New Year."

Cao Yu entered the villa, put down the gift, and asked with a smile: "What has Mr. Han been busy with recently?"

"What can I be busy with? I'm busy working for you, supervising the post-production of Operation Mekong."

Han Sanping poured Cao Yu a cup of tea and said, "Xiao Cao, why do you suddenly want to come to my house? What's the matter?"

"I watched the show these past two days, and a script popped into my mind. I plan to come over and discuss it with Director Han to see if it can be filmed?"

As Cao Yu spoke, he took out the script of "Dying to Survive".

The subject matter of this movie is actually more sensitive than "Operation Mekong", so Cao Yu plans to let Han Sanping's daughter work on the script.

At the same time, we also continue to maintain a good cooperative relationship with China Film Group.

"show me."

Han Sanping took the script and just glanced at it twice, his expression suddenly became a little strange.

After a while, he called upstairs, "Beautiful lady, come down for a moment."

When his daughter came downstairs, Han Sanping handed her the outline of the script and said, "Take a look at this script. It totally coincides with your idea."

"really?"

When Han Jianv heard what her father said, she glanced at Cao Yu first, then took the script. Before she finished reading a page, she was shocked and said, "Boss Cao, I didn't expect you to be even better than I thought!"
