China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 771 769. Guan Gege's tangle, the script of "Mr. Good" must be changed
"Xiaotong, you shouldn't have your holiday yet, right?"

Cao Yu asked curiously as the eighteen-year-old national daughter stood in front of him.

Today, Guan Gege is wearing a short skirt that doesn't cover her knees under a white short-sleeved T-shirt, which makes her already long legs look even longer.

Her long black hair was casually tied into a ponytail and she had light makeup on her face. She looked fresh and clean, and exuded the youthfulness that a female student should have.

"I won't be on vacation until a few days later. I just came back from the crew yesterday. I have nothing to do today so I'll go check on the company."

Guan Xiaotong held the dinner plate and sat down opposite Cao Yu unceremoniously: "Boss, what did you just say about whether it is suitable or not?"

"nothing."

Cao Yu didn't need to tell the little girl what he said about Ali, so he asked, "What movie are you filming recently?"

"Boss, you don't care about me."

Although Guan Xiaotong's words sounded like a complaint, they were more like a way of acting coquettishly.

"hehe."

Cao Yu chuckled in his heart and said, "There are so many people in the company. If I care about everyone, how can I keep up?"

"After all, I am known as the nation's daughter. I may even be the hope for the company's future. As the boss, you should care about me a little."

When Guan Xiaotong said this, there was a hint of pride in her eyes.

"Okay, I'll take care of it now. This sparerib is for you to eat."

Cao Yu passed a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs from his plate to Guan Xiaotong and said with a smile, "Is that ok?"

"That's pretty much it."

Guan Xiaotong is very smart and knows that this is where the topic ends.

He happily took a bite of the pork ribs and said, "As an actor of Feiyu, I definitely have no shortage of roles to play. From last year to now, I've taken on two TV series and a movie."

"what movie?"

"It's called 'Romantic Skyfall'. I play a stewardess, and I work with the movie star Xia Yu."

"Oh?"

When Cao Yu heard about this movie, the brainwashing song "You XX..." immediately appeared in his mind.

What kind of movie is this? It's like the script was written with an ass.

He looked at Guan Xiaotong and thought that this girl was quite miserable because she became Sister XX because of this movie.

Holding back his laughter, Cao Yu asked, "What do you think of this movie?"

"How should I put it? The script is weird. I don't think it will do well at the box office. Anyway, I don't like it very much."

Guan Xiaotong said, looking up at Cao Yu with a smile: "Who told you not to help arrange some good dramas? I can only take on this kind of film that I don't like."

"You still blame me?"

Cao Yu was too lazy to argue with the little girl and continued eating.

However, the girl also knew that the script was not very good, so she was not too hopeless.

Guan Xiaotong also took a few bites of rice, and finally couldn't help but said: "Boss, I heard that the company is going to shoot a TV series called "Nine States Piaomiao Lu", what do you think of me playing the female lead?"

As she spoke, she confidently lifted her hair, wanting to let Cao Yu see her face more clearly.

“You.”

Cao Yu hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "I have already chosen the heroine of this drama. If you are willing to play a supporting role, I can consider it."

"supporting role?"

Guan Xiaotong was naturally not satisfied with being a supporting role, but she was still curious and asked, "Who is the female lead?"

"I plan to be Song Zu Ge."

Cao Yu had no intention of hiding anything and directly stated his plan.

"It's her indeed. She really wants to promote her goddaughter."

Guan Xiaotong felt a little sour.

I also debuted as a child star, and in terms of appearance, I am no worse than Song Zu'e. I also come from an artistic family, and most importantly, I have a pair of outstanding long legs. Am I not as good as Song Zu'e?

Judging from the current popularity, that little girl is obviously better than me.

If I don’t produce another good work, I’m afraid I’ll be left behind by the new generation of actors.

But if she had to play a supporting role to Song Zue, she would feel very depressed.

Girls are jealous, it's their nature. They can't help but look down on those girls who rely on their godfathers to get resources.

After a long pause, she asked, "What kind of supporting role?"

In fact, in Cao Yu's opinion, Guan Xiaotong has good looks and was quite smart when she was a child, but almost all the roles she took later were bad movies.

Even the drama "Mr. Good", which has good ratings, has problems with its values ​​and logic.

That kind of drama is all about deceiving girls. Cao Yu gave up after watching three episodes.

Hearing that the girl didn't mind playing a supporting role, she thought for a moment and said, "There's a princess role that's more suitable for you."

"Then I'll think about it."

In fact, Guan Xiaotong has had good resources in the past two years thanks to her status as a Feiyu artist and the help of her parents.

It’s a pity that, except for Feiyu’s "A Servant of Two Masters", none of the TV series or movies he starred in became a hit.

This is also the reason why she really wants to star in Feiyu's drama to increase her popularity.

"Don't worry, take your time to think about it."

Feiyu has invested in many dramas recently, and "The Legend of Nine States" will start filming later.

After Cao Yu finished his meal, he left Guan Xiaotong and left.

"Should I agree?"

Amidst the confusion, Guan Xiaotong finished the rice in a few mouthfuls and returned to her usual level of artist training with a heavy heart.

Today, Feiyu Entertainment is full of beautiful women.

"This Zhao Lusi is also very sweet, and there are also An Yuexi, Li Yitong, Ju Jingyi from Qiduo, Chen Yuqi who plays Xiaolongnu, and the newcomer Wang Qianran who looks good."

Looking at these beauties, Guan Xiaotong suddenly felt more and more pressured.

Even without mentioning Song Zue, each of the girls in the company is good, and some are even better than herself.

Li Yitong became famous for playing the role of Huang Rong. After the broadcast of The Return of the Condor Heroes, Chen Yuqi should also be able to make a name for herself.

Although I have some fame, I have fallen behind because I haven't starred in any good dramas in the past two years.

There is never a shortage of beauties in the entertainment industry. If you don’t make progress, you will easily be replaced.

But do I really need to learn the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry?

After struggling for a while, she still thought that it was okay to act coquettishly and cutely, but she was reluctant to risk her innocent body to establish a relationship with the boss.

Although I have a good impression of the boss, there are probably too many women around this man, and it is not worth it for me to join them.

Just as I was thinking about it, the agent came over.

"Xiaotong, there is an urban drama that wants to invite you to play the third female role. Are you interested?"

"Urban drama? What's it called?"

When Guan Xiaotong heard that it was only the third girl, she was disappointed but still asked.

"It's called Mr. Good, and I'm acting opposite Sun Honglei and Jiang Shuying. I've read the story and I think it's okay. If they're interested, I'll give them a reply."

"Don't worry, let me think about it."

Guan Xiaotong thought for a moment and found it difficult to make a decision.

"Legend of Nine States" was produced by our own company, while "Mr. Good" was produced by another company. I don't know the quality.

But she soon had an idea: "Sister, can you type out the details of this drama so I can show it to the boss?"

The agent said, "The boss is so busy, can you ask him to help you?"

"It should be possible. Just call it."

Guan Xiaotong's purpose was not only to ask Cao Yu to help her see if she could take the role, but also to see if she could get a good role in "The Legend of Nine States" through this drama.

……

"You are the nation's daughter, not my daughter"

When Cao Yu returned to the office, he thought of Guan Xiaotong's request just now and did not think that this girl could play the naughty and lively role of Yu Ran well.

To write the play "Legend of Nine States", the company not only invited the original author Jiang Nan, but also the company's exclusive screenwriter Wang Xun.

With these two people in charge, the plot is more in line with the original, and the rhythm has become smoother and more reasonable.

Although he has not read the original novel, he thinks this drama is very attentive in terms of visual effects, costumes and props.

The reason for the low rating is that too many changes were made to the original work. The first two episodes quickly finished playing out the content of one book, causing many fans of the original work to give it a very low score.

It is quite appropriate to let Guan Xiaotong play the role of Princess Xiaozhou in the play.

If she doesn't want to, there is still Wang Qianran in the company.

"I'll go upstairs and take a look. Wang Qianran has been studying in the company since the May Day holiday. I'll go see how her acting skills are doing now."

As for the young actresses born after 1995, besides Guan Xiaotong and Song Zue, the company also has Wang Qiran who is given high hopes.

That little girl not only knows how to dance, but she is also very pretty and recognizable. She can definitely be trained as a famous actress. Just don't shake your head all the time and don't act so badly.

After dealing with some urgent documents, Cao Yu just went out, but Guan Xiaotong came first.

"Boss, my agent just told me that she has contacted me for a play. I want you to help me see if I can take it."

"What drama?"

Cao Yu asked casually, walking towards the elevator without stopping.

"It's called 'The Good Husband'."

Guan Xiaotong followed behind and handed over the printed story summary.

“It’s this play.”

Cao Yu took the information and found that it was produced by a company called Ningmeng Film and Television.

He knew this company. It not only produced "The Good Husband", but also other hit dramas such as "Nothing But Thirty", "Little Joy", and "Legend of Fuyao". It is considered a very promising company.

He immediately took out his phone and called Zhang Xiaotian: "Help me check the current status of Ningmeng Film and Television."

After that, he read the story summary.

Soon, he suspected that the show might be sponsored by a Michelin restaurant, as the whole show was bragging about how great Michelin chefs are.

Moreover, the story lacks logic and feels very twisted.

Although the ratings are good, it is probably to cater to the female audience's favorite melodramatic plots.

After Cao Yu had a quick look, he had already gone upstairs.

He said to Guan Xiaotong: "What do you think of this play?"

"It's pretty good. The main thing is that I can act opposite Sun Honglei. I heard that Jiang Shuying from our company was also invited."

Guan Xiaotong said this deliberately, "Boss, do you think I should play this or "The Legend of Nine States"? I'll listen to you."

Cao Yu did not answer immediately, but pushed open a room where artists were training.

In the room, the dance teacher was teaching several children to dance, including Wang Qianran.

The sixteen-year-old girl, who was already over 1.7 meters tall and slender, was wearing a white dress and was dancing a classical dance.

In the music, Wang Qianran's performance was the most eye-catching, with a feeling of being as graceful as a startled swan.

"No wonder the kings in ancient times did not hold court early in the morning. Even if this girl was in ancient times, she would be a stunning beauty."

Cao Yu did not interrupt the class. While appreciating it, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In comparison, Zhao Rusi's dance looks very clumsy.

However, Feiyu Entertainment teaches artists to dance, on the one hand to practice their body shape, and on the other hand, if they dance in film and television dramas, they will not appear too amateur.

Unfortunately, Zhao Lusi looked very amateur at this moment, and her spinning movements were not even as good as Xiao Cui, the maidservant beside Diao Chan in "Wulin Waijia".

When Guan Xiaotong saw the boss staring at Wang Heran, the previous pressure and feeling of anxiety came back to her mind.

"Could it be that the boss sees that I want to consider it and plans to give her the role I was given?"

Guan Gege was quite confident about her long legs, but when she saw Wang Qianran lift her legs, her toes could reach the top of her head, and her legs were not shorter than hers.
If she couldn’t compare to Reba and Nazha before, that would be fine, but now she can’t even compare to newcomer Wang Qiran.

After the dance was over, Cao Yu said to the dance teacher, "Show me the dance results of these children."

The teacher hurriedly handed the results to Cao Yu. Sure enough, Wang Churan got A+ in both classical and modern dance.

"Wang Qianran, come here for a moment."

Cao Yu called the girl to his side and asked, "Do you have any lines and acting scores?"

"Boss Cao, I've been signed for less than a year. I'm in school and haven't practiced my acting skills much. I haven't taken the assessment yet."

The little girl Wang Tanran was still reserved when facing the big boss.

Cao Yu said: "Practice more recently. After the summer vacation, if your test results are good, I will arrange a role for you to practice."

"thank you boss!"

Wang Qianran was about to bow, but suddenly he bowed gracefully to Cao Yu.

"Haha, you have great appearance, you must work hard to improve your acting skills."

Cao Yu gave Wang Hanran another instruction and asked him to go and have a rest, then he called Zhao Lusi over.

"Your dancing is simply horrible. If your body shape, etiquette, and acting skills are not up to standard, I will just find someone else to play the role of the maid in "Do You Know?"

"what?"

When Zhao Lusi heard this, she hurriedly said, "I will work hard, boss, don't replace me."

She had fought hard to get the role of the maid, and she would be joining the crew in a few days after receiving the announcement.

If something goes wrong, it won't be too late to cry.

It turns out that the boss is stricter than I thought.

After leaving the dance studio, Guan Xiaotong followed and said, "Mr. Cao, I am willing to act in "The Legend of Kyushu."

"When I asked you just now, you said you would consider it. Now just wait for the news."

Boss Cao actually directly rejected Guan Xiaotong's decision.

"Waiting for news?"

"Yes, the play 'Mr. Good' might be more suitable for you."

After Cao Yu finished speaking, he ignored the girl and went to look around other artists' practice rooms.

Since the company has to shoot several dramas, many artists have schedules, and the only people left in the company are young people.

These artists are either learning dance, tea art, or lines. Everyone seems to be working very hard, which makes Cao Yu very confident about the future of the entertainment industry.

When he returned to the office, he asked Zhang Xiaotian, "How was the Ning Meng Film and Television investigation going?"

"Boss, this is a company that was just established last year. 'Mr. Good' is their first drama and they are still recruiting investors. They invited our company's artists probably to attract more investment."

"That's it."

Cao Yu nodded and immediately called Cai Chongxin, asking him to arrange someone to contact Ning Meng Film and Television.

If they need financing, just invest and become a shareholder of the company.

Investing in this company is also a kind of capital operation, which is almost equivalent to having an extra good studio.

This is almost the same as controlling Feng Xiaogang's film and television company.

As for the drama "Mr. Good", we can produce it together with Ning Meng Film and Television and change the Michelin restaurant in the drama into a Chinese restaurant.

The so-called Michelin is nothing more than a thing promoted by capital. It just wants to make people feel high-end through the promotion of film and television dramas.

Cao Yu has tried it and it tastes just so-so.

Once we acquire Ning Meng Film and Television, revise the script, and let Jiang Shuying and Guan Xiaotong act in the film, there will be no problem.

After finishing these things, Cao Yu found the manager of the screenwriting department and asked about the progress of the script of the movie "Chi Ling".

The songs for "Chi Ling" have all been written, and we're just waiting for the film project to be approved and start shooting.

……

Magic City, Ningmeng Films.

"Boss Su, the person in charge of Feiyu Investment just contacted us and wants to invest in us."

"Really?"

When the boss Su Xiao heard the report from the company's general manager, he stood up suddenly.

Their first TV drama project "Mr. Good" is currently attracting investment, but since it is a new company, not many companies are willing to pay.

Therefore, he intentionally asked someone to contact Feiyu, planning to have Jiang Shuying and Guan Xiaotong play the female lead and the third female role in this play. Sure enough, Feiyu Investment found him.

"it is true."

General Manager Chen Fei also nodded excitedly: "Boss Su, should we only attract investment for this drama, or should we agree to them becoming a shareholder in us?"

"Silly! Of course we must agree to buy shares. This way, we can not only get close to Boss Cao, but after we shoot a few hit dramas, we may even be able to go public!"

Su Xiao rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Reply to Feiyu Investment immediately and tell them that you are willing to accept their proposal. Go to Yanjing tomorrow and settle the matter."

"it is good!"

Chen Fei agreed and immediately prepared the relevant information.

The next morning, when she arrived at Feiyu Group, she didn't expect that the boss Cao Yu was also there.

After a few polite words, Chen Fei said, "Boss Cao, I have discussed with our boss and we are willing to accept your company's investment. How much can you invest?"

"Mr. Chen, I've seen the plot of Mr. Good. Although it's still immature, it's pretty good."

Cao Yu first praised the drama, and then said: "According to the scale of your company, we can invest 30 million yuan in you and get % of your shares, and we can continue to support you in the future."

"Thank you, Mr. Cao. Thank you."

Although 30% of the shares was a bit too much, Chen Fei was very surprised that Boss Cao took out so much money at once.

It is worthy of being the largest investment company in China and the richest man.

But she immediately heard Cao Yu say calmly: "But I have a request, that is, the script of "Mr. Good" must be changed!"
