China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 760 758. What do the Chinese people who don’t understand want?

Ivanka's panic after falling into the river formed a huge contrast with her usual elegance and looked very funny.

"Pull me up!"

Ivanka didn't know what to say. You pushed me into the water, and instead of saving me first, you took a video?

Take photos of everything first?
Which woman did you learn this from?
"I'm sorry, you looked so funny and real just now. I thought it was good material, so I took the video."

Cao Yu filmed the video for more than 30 seconds before reaching out to pull Ivanka, who was soaked like a drowned rat, out of the river.

But when he saw Ivanka coming up, her wet clothes stuck tightly to her body, outlining her curves which were truly moving.

"Does it look good?"

Although it was embarrassing, Ivanka noticed that Cao Yu kept looking at her figure, and her anger subsided. Instead, she blinked and asked.

“It’s OK, but it’s a pity”

Cao Yu smiled and shook his head, then said: "Go back and change your clothes quickly, be careful not to catch a cold."

"My shoes are full of water, please hold me up."

Ivanka actually started to act like a spoiled brat. Anyway, her husband and father had gone to the company, and such an opportunity was rare and she must seize it.

"Ok."

Cao Yu had already seen through the woman's purpose. He sneered in his heart, held the woman's arm, and walked towards the castle.

After taking two steps, the woman put her arm directly on Cao Yu's neck.

Cao Yu didn't say anything this time and just let her be like this.

When they returned to the castle, King Dong was not there as expected, so Cao Yu helped her to the door.

"Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

Finally, Ivanka couldn't help it and directly invited Cao Yu.

"Is the upper class so chaotic?"

Cao Yu was surrounded by all kinds of beauties, and he was not tempted at all. He complained in his heart, then smiled and said, "The call just now was from a client. I'm going to answer the call, so I won't go in with you."

After saying that, without even looking at Ivanka, he returned to his room.

Ivanka watched Cao Yu disappear magically, then looked down at her outstanding figure.

You have fair skin, beautiful face and long legs, and you were invited actively, but he is not interested?

Are the Chinese really so conservative?
Or do you dislike the fact that I'm married?

However, thinking of the unbearable noises that had continued until late at night in the past few nights, she still vowed to capture Cao Yu.

"Looking from the side, you see a mountain range, and from the side, you see a peak. A red apricot tree is growing out of the wall. It's a pity that you are not Fu Zhen. You are too tea."

In the room, Cao Yu watched the video he had just shot and smiled with some sarcasm.

Although the woman in the video looks disheveled, her figure is clearly visible. With this video, Ivanka can create a perfect personality, which is the best thing to show her.

See if she will be nicer to her sister in the future?
After saving the video and making a copy, he turned to the call that had just come in.

It turned out that the call was from Warner Bros. boss Kevin Tsujihara.

“It seems that the market has already noticed the role of Tok Tik in film promotion.”

Although Cao Yu is on vacation, he still pays attention to news from the film market. "Fast and Furious 7" is a big hit at the box office, and other film companies must be jealous. It is only a matter of time before they contact him to discuss cooperation.

He called back and heard Kevin's voice.

"Cao, are you in the United States or China?"

"I'm on vacation in Miguo these days. Is there anything Mr. Kevin needs to do?"

"Cao, I have a very good script here, called "Dunkirk", directed by Nolan, are you interested in working on it together?"

"Forget it. I'm a bit too busy this year. I'll consider it next year if there's a good film."

When Cao Yu heard that this was a movie with a great reputation and a grand scene but mediocre box office, he was not interested at all.

Kevin wasn't angry either. After all, the movie was just an excuse. The next thing was the main thing: "Cao, the box office of "Fast and Furious 7" is very hot recently. Your Tok Tik has made a great contribution. We have several movies to be released in the second half of this year. We can cooperate."

"of course can."

Cao Yu had long anticipated that as long as "Fast and Furious 7" was a box office hit, other film companies would approach him, but it happened a little earlier than expected.

At the end of last year, Feiyu and Warner Bros. collaborated on "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies", which grossed more than 3 million US dollars worldwide. They are currently collaborating on the movie "Joker". The relationship between the two companies is quite close, so it was difficult for Cao Yu to refuse.

Hearing Boss Cao's agreement, Kevin hurriedly asked, "Then, when are you free? Let's meet and talk."

"See you tomorrow morning in New York."

After hanging up the phone, Cao Yu planned to return to New York today.

If we continue to stay here, who knows what tricks Ivanka will play.

Next door, Ivanka took a shower and looked at her perfect body in the mirror that could make millions of men obsessed. She couldn't understand why there were men who wouldn't be tempted?

These days, he and his sister have been playing until very late every night, making her almost unable to sleep, which shows that he is not uninterested in women.

But such a man actually ignored her, deliberately let her fall into the river, and took a video
"Hiss, he just filmed the video, was it really for the material?"

Ivanka suddenly remembered that she had not even watched the content of the video Cao Yu had just filmed, but when she thought about it, she knew that she must be in a very embarrassing situation.

Will that Chinese person take these videos?
She immediately put on her clothes and went next door.

Cao Yu had just finished a phone call with Kevin, the boss of Warner Bros., and was packing up, apparently preparing to leave.

"Are you going?"

Ivanka was startled: "Didn't you agree with Tiffany that you wouldn't leave tonight?"

"I have to go back to New York for something urgent. I'll call Tiffany and your dad on the way."

After Cao Yu finished speaking, he put on his bag and was about to leave.

"etc."

Ivanka called Cao Yu and said, "Show me the video of me falling into the river just now."

"What's so good about it? I deleted it all."

Cao Yu lied. If this woman saw it, wouldn’t she go crazy?
"Do not believe!"

Ivanka looked into Cao Yu's eyes and didn't think he was lying, but she still didn't believe him. She said, "Cao, when I fell into the water, you deliberately took the video, didn't you? I don't know if you did this for money or for the person?"

As she said this, she actually put her hand on Cao Yu's chest: "If you want money, I think you should have enough. If you want people, I'm here."

As she spoke, her fingers moved slowly up Cao Yu's body. Ivanka felt that he would be unable to refuse her this time because of her charming look.

Just when her fingers were about to touch Cao Yu's neck, her wrist was grabbed by the man.

"Ms. Ivanka, I don't want any of them."

Cao Yu smiled faintly and said, "I used to be a director. The video is actually quite good. It would be a pity to delete it. I will secretly appreciate it occasionally when I have time in the future. You shouldn't mind."

After saying this, he pushed Ivanka's hand away and left the room, to her surprise.

Ivanka was stunned on the spot, the more she thought about it, the more confused she became.

Are you really taking videos of me just to enjoy them secretly?

I'm a living person right here, but you don't want me? Instead you like watching videos?

So what does he want?
This Chinese man is becoming more and more mysterious and harder to understand.

Cao Yu left the castle and called Tiffany on the way, asking her to finish her business and return to New York to meet him.

Afterwards, he also greeted the King of Understanding.

The next morning, he and Tiffany had just finished breakfast and headed to Warner Bros.

"Cao, long time no see."

As soon as they met, Kevin gave Cao Yu a warm hug. Looking at the blonde beauty beside him, he smiled and said, "No wonder you look so good with a beautiful woman by your side."

"Haha, you too."

Cao Yu said something polite, and the two of them came to Warner's reception room.

After a few pleasantries, Kevin said, "Cao, we have several blockbusters coming out in the second half of this year. We hope you can help promote them on TikTok. How much will it cost? Tell me."

Cao Yu asked: "Which ones are there?"

"There are also three films, Peter Pan, Mad Max: Fury Road, and San Andreas. All of them cost more than 4 million US dollars, and they are also well made."

"Oh."

Cao Yu heard about these three movies. He had seen two of them, but "Mad Max 4: Fury Road" had not been released in China, so he had not actually seen it.

Just take the two movies I've seen as an example, the visuals of the movies are definitely top-notch.

It’s a pity that the plot is old-fashioned and the characters are pale, so the box office is not very good.

Especially "Peter Pan (Peter Pan: The Voyage of Dreams)", which was invested with 1.5 million US dollars, and the cumulative global box office seems to have just exceeded million. It is hailed as one of the six box office flops of the famous director.

How can you help promote a movie like this?

Even if they trick the audience into the cinema, it will only damage the Tok Tik brand.

Cao Yu did not refuse directly. He thought for a while and said, "Our platform still needs to provide high-quality movies. Can I watch the movie first?"

"of course can."

Kevin didn't expect that Boss Cao was so serious about the movie, so he immediately said, "Let's go to the screening room together."

Cao Yu brought Tiffany to the company's luxurious screening room.

"Which one should I watch first?" "Mad Max: Fury Road."

Cao Yu had not seen this film and planned to take Tiffany to see it first.

"I've seen this movie several times. I'll wait for you in the office."

Kevin finished speaking and left the space for the two of them to watch the movie alone.

This movie is about a doomsday world in the future. There is a water shortage and people are fighting each other for resources, turning the earth into a bloody battlefield.

The story of two rebels fleeing in the desert and trying to establish order for the world.

After watching half of it, Cao Yu understood why the film could not be released in mainland China.

Apart from the fact that the bloody scenes in this movie are too realistic, the whole movie is full of weird things.

The movie seems to be all about steampunk, cult, anti-Internet, industry, machinery, muscle, iron and blood. Some people may not like these apocalyptic sci-fi carnival scenes.

Sure enough, after Tiffany saw more than half of it, she became a little annoyed and could only pass the time by eating snacks.

But those who like apocalyptic movies will enjoy watching it.

The excitement does not come from the actions, but from all kinds of weird designs, especially a group of people fighting in a modified car, with someone playing guitar to cheer them on, and a loud speaker behind them. The scene is really crazy and exciting!
The end of the world is madness, and it won’t be over until you are dead or disabled.

After watching the movie, Cao Yu asked, "How was it? Was it good?"

"What a terrible movie. I don't like it. I'd rather be more sympathetic."

Tiffany was silent for a while before giving this comment.

Cao Yu was not surprised. This kind of apocalyptic movie had a relatively simple plot. Unless you were a non-mainstream girl like the Shamatte type, few people would like it.

After watching for two hours, Cao Yu only paid attention to the plot and exciting scenes of the remaining two movies.

When he found Kevin, he said directly: "Mad Max: Fury Road is okay, how do you want to promote it?"

"Just one?"

Kevin was obviously not satisfied, he wanted all three movies to be promoted on Tok Tik.

Warner Bros.' "Jupiter Ascending", which was released earlier this year, invested 1.75 million US dollars, but the final global box office was only 1.9 million. The huge loss made Warner executives furious.

Therefore, he is under great pressure. If the remaining three films this year fail at the box office again, he doesn't know what he will face.

"That can't be helped. I don't want to be scolded by Tok Tik users."

Cao Yu explained with a smile: "As long as the movie is good and there is money, how can I not make money?"

Kevin thought that Boss Cao had won so many Oscars, and his appreciation level was probably quite high, so he could only say, "One movie at a time, can we promote it the same way as Furious 7?"

"of course can."

Cao Yu smiled and said, "But for the discounted ticket sales link and advertisement on the platform, we charge 2% of the total box office. Since we are old friends, I will charge you 1.5%."

"so much?"

"Is it much?"

Cao Yu casually said, "If this movie makes 500 million US dollars, we will only make more than 7 million. Is that a lot? And we have to help you with the publicity plan."

"Ok."

Kevin had no choice now and could only agree reluctantly.

He also understood that more than 7 million US dollars was indeed not a lot for Boss Cao.

But this is just one movie. If more than a dozen movies ask you to cooperate every year, your platform can make a lot of money just from this.

It’s a pity that he couldn’t say this to others’ faces. He could only secretly sigh that Tok Tik has a bright future.

After talking about this movie, Cao Yu asked, "What other movies will you have next year?"

"There are three next year: Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, and your script, Joker."

"Then cooperate on more films next year."

Although Cao Yu has not seen "Suicide Squad", the other two films are very good.

"Joker" is a high-scoring movie with an 8.7 rating, especially the lead actor Todd Phillips, who portrayed the suffering of the Joker and the lower-class people vividly.

He even had a promotion and publicity plan in his mind.

It’s a pity that this movie cannot be released in China.

However, the box office of this film exceeded 1.5 billion US dollars. If it can exceed billion with publicity, the profit will be not small based on %.

Not to mention Batman v Superman, both are American superheroes, and the box office is not bad.

After talking about business, Kevin finally asked: "Are you really not going to invest in the movie Dunkirk?"

"No, I'll help you promote it then."

Cao Yu still refused. The box office of "Dunkirk" was only over 1.5 million US dollars, but the investment was million. No matter how you calculate it, the profit would not exceed million, and it would be meaningless to share it with several companies.

After leaving Warner Bros., on the way back to the hotel, Cao Yu said to Tiffany, who had been with him for the past few days, "I'm going to Los Angeles tomorrow and will return to China the day after tomorrow."

"So fast?"

With her lover by her side, Tiffany felt that more than half a month had passed very quickly.

"I have to work, and you have to prepare for the postgraduate entrance exam. If you accompany me every day, you won't be in the mood to study."

Cao Yu touched her face and said, "I'll come to see you when I'm free. But I've written another song for you. When the popularity of Shape of You dies down after a while, you can release this one and you'll be even more popular."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of music.

He has been having a very comfortable time in the castle recently. When he has nothing to do and his mind is empty, he thinks of another English hit song "Faded".

Tiffany didn't take over the song immediately, but hugged Cao Yu: "I just want to be with you."

"How many people dream of having me write a song for them? I even lost a lot of brain cells for this song. You really don't want it?"

Cao Yu smiled deliberately and said, "Then I gave it to someone else?"

"no!"

Tiffany then grabbed the song, took a look at it, and liked the melody of the song: "If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, can you accompany me to the music studio? We can arrange the music while..."

When Cao Yu saw her shy face, he knew what this girl wanted to do.

But it's still exciting to think about it...

The next day, Tiffany sent Cao Yu to the airport.

In the car, she hugged Cao Yu tightly: "You have to come to see me earlier, otherwise I will go to Huaxia to find you."

"no problem."

Cao Yu kissed the other person's forehead, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "When you become famous, if you help your father with election campaigns, you can play the family card and say that your father has done a great job in educating children. Do you understand?"

"why?"

"I think this will be popular with the public, just do it."

Cao Yu told Ivanka today that letting that woman beat up independent women was originally intended to trick that little red apricot who wanted to cheat on his wife.

Letting Tiffany play the family card will not only make her popular with the American people, but will also gain more attention and voice from her father.

Tiffany's family status has been improved, which will definitely be more beneficial to her in the future.

After returning to Los Angeles, Cao Yu established the Trump campaign project team and the film project team at the Tok Tik branch.

At the same time, it has also reached cooperation agreements with film companies such as 21st Century, Columbia, and Disney.

However, for Cao Yu, promoting movies is just the beginning. The market space for Tok Tik is far more than that.

Once the role of the platform becomes apparent, more advertisers will naturally come knocking on the door.

That’s when Tok Tik really took off.

During the time Cao Yu was in the United States, the Chinese entertainment industry was also not peaceful.

After Da Hei Niu broke up with his girlfriend, it was revealed that he liked to give girls heart-shaped stones, and he was called Stone Brother.

Wang Baoqiang's wife gave birth to a son.

Singer Tao Zheji cheated on his wife and made a public apology with a PPT, making those who can't make a PPT feel embarrassed to cheat on their wife.

Aaron Kwok, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, officially announced his relationship, but was mocked by Wang Sicong on Weibo.

But this year, Principal Wang also started a crazy dating mode, and it was revealed that he had many internet celebrity girlfriends, the number of which was astonishing.

These pieces of news made netizens feel so fed up that they vomited.

Of course, in addition to these gossips, what everyone talked about most were Feiyu’s several TV series.

Especially the masterpiece "Nirvana in Fire", with Hu Ge's superb acting skills, the popularity of this drama is no less than that of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" back then.

Nazha's red dress in "East Palace" has become the object of imitation in many TV dramas.

"White Deer Plain" was also broadcast on CCTV Channel 8, and the ratings and reputation were also good.

Let people believe once again that the slogan "Fei Yu products must be high-quality" is not exaggerating at all.

While everyone is watching these dramas, they are also looking forward to whether Feiyu’s drama this year will continue its glory.

At the end of April, Cao Yu arrived in Yanjing and opened Weibo. Although he was revisiting these big melons, he still took a few bites.

However, he really wanted to know, without Wang Jiji, whether Wang Baoqiang's wife Pan Jinlian's nature could be changed or she could live a peaceful life.

Cao Yu has not arrived at the company yet, but the news of the boss's return to China has spread among Feiyu Entertainment artists.

As we all know, this year's TV series has added another huge investment, and it is a co-production with Japan, so everyone is ready to wait for the boss to come back...
