China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 772. Ali challenges, Boss Cao is pursued
"Change the script?"

When Chen Fei, the general manager of Ningmeng Pictures, heard that Boss Cao of Feiyu Entertainment wanted to change the script, instead of getting angry, he was delighted.

Who is Boss Cao?

He is a screenwriter who has won several Oscars. If he were to change the script, this gimmick alone would make "Mr. Good" a hit.

This is even more tempting than Boss Cao’s investment.

She quickly stood up and asked, "Did Mr. Cao personally help with the revision?"

"Hehe, I don't have time."

Cao Yu was somewhat speechless. Asking me to change it? How dare you think that?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cao, I misunderstood."

Chen Fei realized that he had misunderstood, and smiled awkwardly with an apologetic look before asking, "Mr. Cao is not satisfied with the story?"

"Yes, I plan to change the Michelin restaurant in the story into a Chinese restaurant."

Cao Yu nodded: "Apart from these, some parts of the story are not very logical. I will ask our company's screenwriter to revise the script before filming."

“Change to Michelin?”

Chen Fei didn't expect Boss Cao to make this request.

This "Mr. Good" is indeed sponsored by several Michelin restaurants in Shanghai. If it is changed.
"What? Are you having trouble?"

Cao Yu's face suddenly darkened. Is it so difficult to change the settings?
"No, no, Mr. Cao, change it. Change it exactly as you want. I'll send the script to you after we sign the contract."

Of course Chen Fei understood that in today's Chinese entertainment industry, no matter who you offend, you must not offend Boss Cao.

If I don’t agree to change the script, who knows what will happen.

Cao Yu said with satisfaction: "Okay, once the script is revised, Feiyu Entertainment will also invest 40% in this drama, is that ok?"

"No, of course."

Chen Fei agreed readily.

The equity investment agreement was signed on the same day, and soon after, the other party sent the script of "Mr. Good".

"How can a drama like this be popular? The character design of the main character is terrible. It really lives up to the nickname of the film, Mr. Clumsy Good. The main character is indeed clumsy enough."

Cao Yu didn’t even finish watching three episodes of this TV series, which was very popular at the time. Now after reading the script, he feels that each character is more selfish than the other.

No money for food when flying first class?

Peng Jiahe locked someone up in a cold storage, but he didn't even apologize and is still acting so confident?
When you like something, instead of trying to buy it, you just grab it?
The male protagonist's character is completely ruined and he is annoying to a certain extent, but there are still a lot of people who love him?
I don’t know what the screenwriter’s values ​​are to be able to write such a script.

Cao Yu read half of it and couldn't even continue reading the script.

"Xiaotian, send the script to the screenwriting department and ask Caishen and Baimei to revise the script within two months."

Cao Gan was so angry about the script that he rubbed his head, wrote down a request for revision on it, and handed it to the secretary: "And find Guan Xiaotong for me."

Zhang Xiaotian didn't rush to go, but came behind Cao Yu and gently pressed Cao Yu's temples: "Dear, don't be angry. If you get angry, it will hurt your health and people will feel bad."

"You're becoming more and more like a secretary, girl."

Cao Yu closed his eyes, enjoying Zhang Xiaotian's massage, and smiled with his eyes closed: "Xiaotian, do you want to film?"

"No, I just want to stay with you."

Zhang Xiaotian has no interest in acting. If she starts filming, she might not be able to meet Cao Yu for a long time, and she doesn't want that.

He lowered his head and kissed Cao Yu on the head: "Is this drama really that bad? It makes you so angry? Then why do you still want to invest in it?"

"You women like to watch it. The more outrageous it is, the more you like it."

Cao Yu sighed. Capital actually makes this kind of drama just to please women.

It used to be a sweet campus romance, but now a domineering president falls in love with beautiful me.

Will he fall in love with me, a divorced woman with children, in the future?
Zhang Xiaotian laughed and said, "The purpose of filming a drama is to make money. Women have more time and are more emotional, so of course they like to watch dramas. Most of the people who watch dramas are women. If you don't please women, who else can you please?"

“You are actually right.”

Cao Yu also understands these truths, but it is precisely because of this that film and television dramas instill all kinds of distorted values ​​in women, turning them into little fairies.

This is what capital wants, but the more this happens, the more uncomfortable Cao Yu feels.

Men don’t want to, or even dare not, fall in love, all because of these little fairies.

He grabbed Zhang Xiaotian's hand and kissed it: "Go ahead and deliver this script first."

Not long after, Guan Xiaotong came to the boss excitedly.

She thought to herself that if the boss came to see her, there might be good news.

"Xiaotong, you should go and star in Mr. Good in the second half of the year. I think this drama is more suitable for you."

But as soon as she came in, she heard the boss's arrangement. Disappointed, she asked in a questioning tone: "Boss, do you think I'm not beautiful?"

"Why are you talking to me?"

Seeing that this girl dared to ask him this, Cao Yu immediately said coldly: "This is the company's arrangement. If you don't want to, I can replace you with someone else immediately!"

"Boss, I'm sorry"

Guan Xiaotong was frightened instantly. It was the first time she saw her usually kind boss have such an attitude.

She bowed her head and apologized. Seeing that her boss looked a little better, she continued, “Boss, when I was filming “Personal Tailor”, I took the initiative to ask to join Feiyu because I wanted to break through myself and star in more good dramas.

But in the past few years, I have only played in "A Servant of Two Masters". The other dramas have not made any splashes. The company has a constant influx of newcomers. I am really under a lot of pressure. I am worried that you will ignore me."

As she spoke, sparkling tears began to sparkle in Guan Gege's big eyes.

She was like this half sincerely and half acting.

She felt that her boss was just giving her a chance to act in "Mr. Good".

Otherwise, why didn't the company let you act in so many good dramas produced this year?

Although a man would feel distressed seeing the pretty girl in front of him at this moment, Cao Yu was not fooled by her half-true and half-false words.

Instead, he laughed and said, "Who said you only starred in 'A Servant of Two Masters'? I heard that you also starred in 'The Wrong Car' earlier this year. I watched your behind-the-scenes footage and your acting is amazing."

"Have you seen my behind-the-scenes footage?"

Guan Xiaotong was stunned. Why was the boss watching her performance footage?
Just as I was wondering, I heard Cao Yu continue: "Your strength is urban dramas. This "Mr. Good" is very suitable for you. Maybe you can even win an award. In addition, for this drama, I spent several hundred million to buy shares in this film and television company. Therefore, you are also acting in the company's drama."

"really?"

Guan Xiaotong opened her eyes wide.

Is this drama really for me?
Also, he watched the behind-the-scenes footage of my acting, and now he has invested in this film and television company?
Is he to me?
I stared at Cao Yu for a while and found that he became more and more handsome the more I looked at him.

"Don't be too touched."

Cao Yu noticed that Guan Xiaotong's eyes were a little strange, and said with a smile: "In Feiyu, I will not ignore anyone with acting skills, you can rest assured about this."

But Guan Xiaotong didn't listen to his words at all.

She suddenly mustered up the courage and asked, "Boss, do you like me?"

"what?"

Cao Yu thought this girl had such novel ideas.

I like you? Just because you have long legs?
Or because your voice is not nice?
Guan Xiaotong no longer had the sadness she had before, and said with a smile on her face: "Boss, you have done so much for me, I am very happy, but if you like me, just pursue me well, maybe I will agree."

"."

Cao Yu really didn't know what to say. There must be a limit to narcissism.

Your legs are long, but my Yang Mi's legs are not long? Reba's legs are not long?

Also, aren’t Lin Chi-ling’s legs longer than yours?

"You should go out first, practice your lines well, and wait for notification to join the crew."

Cao Yu waved his hand casually, trying to send the girl away.

"Then I'm leaving. Thank you, boss!"

Guan Xiaotong took a step with her long legs, using the acting skills she learned in "Romantic Skyfall" to wink at Cao Yu, and left seemingly elegantly.

"Speechless."

It’s not that Cao Yu thinks Guan Xiaotong is not pretty, it’s just that there are many pretty girls around him.

He just didn't like this girl's voice, especially in her movie "Aurora Love". The sound of her voice when the water was boiling left a shadow on Cao Yu.

After finishing all these, the film that was about to start was almost ready, so Cao Yu focused his energy on Feiyu Group.

Clara Lee Sung-min also came to Yanjing to prepare for the opening ceremony of the movie "The Love Master" in July.

This drama is a romantic comedy, starring Xiao Yang in "Detective Chinatown", Korean beauty Clara, Benshan's apprentice Xiao Sunyang, and Yan Ne.

Deng Chao also made a cameo appearance in the film as a handsome guy who appeared on screen for just a few minutes before being taken offline.

As for the drama "Dying to Survive", producer Ning Hao has also finalized all the actors, with almost no changes except Yang Mi becoming the female lead.

Wang Chuanjun even lost weight for two months for this play.

In mid-June, "Avengers 3" was released in China, with a final domestic box office of billion US dollars and a global box office of billion US dollars, becoming the highest-grossing Hollywood movie in recent years.

Marvel made a fortune!
Boss Cao made a fortune!
June 13th, Magic City.

The start-up scene of the movie "The Ferryman".

For Ali Pictures' first film, Ma Yun not only invited many reporters, but also many people from the entertainment industry to support her.

Stars like Zhang Ziyi, Chow Yun-fat, and Liu Zhenwei all came to show their support.

Because the producer and one of the supervisors of this film is Wang Jiawei, many mainland and Hong Kong stars have to give him some face. Of course, Ali also gave a lot of appearance fee.

Anyway, the opening ceremony was a grand one.

At the scene, the leading actress Yang Ying looked dazzling in a sparkling haute couture dress.

Looking at the scene today, she finally felt that all the hard work had paid off.

At the ceremony, Ma Yun gave an impassioned speech, saying that Ali would definitely make this film well.

The first part of his words was fine, but at the end, his words made all the reporters excited.

Boss Ma said, "Feiyu Entertainment is an amazing company, and Mr. Cao Yu Cao is also a good friend of mine. We at Ali Pictures will learn from Feiyu Entertainment and provide more good films for the audience in the future!"

This is really explosive.

The last time the start time was announced, it was just a secret competition with Feiyu.

Now, it is already a naked challenge.

On the same day, the news of the start of filming of "The Ferryman" became a hot search on Weibo.

Some people say that Ali is a new company, how can it compare with Feiyu Entertainment? Is there any comparability?

Some people also said that Ahri just wanted to take advantage of Feiyu Entertainment's popularity.

Some people also think that Wang Jiawei's works are quite worth looking forward to.

Of course, some people think that even with the Ali Group as its backing, it is hard to say what the future of Ali Pictures will be like.

However, Ma Yun has successfully achieved her goal of raising the status of Ali Pictures by using this sentence.

Yan Jing, Cao Yu and Yang Shuxue were sitting in the garden, chatting about this summer's movies and Ma Yun's speech during the day.

"Shuxue, summer vacation is coming soon. You will be busy."

In half a month, it will be summer vacation, and the summer movie box office battle is about to begin.

"It's better to be busy. Anyway, there are fewer buildings to be built now, so I can still keep busy."

The two leaned on the swing in the yard and enjoyed the cool breeze in the evening.

"My dear, the domestic cinema industry has developed so fast in the past two years that even Ali wants to make a movie. He dares to target you. Don't you plan to restrict him?"

"Of course we need to limit it, but let him be proud for a while. The more he jumps now, the harder he will fall in the future."

Cao Yu sneered at Ma Yun's challenge.

"I just like your confidence."

Yang Shuxue felt very relieved when looking at her former little man.

"You might as well say I'm unruly."

Cao Yu thought of the lines in "The Richest Man in Xihong City", and he didn't know whether Ma Yun would still be the same after "The Ferryman" entered the bad movie industry.

On June 16, the police and gangster film "Operation Mekong" produced by Han Sanping and co-produced by Feiyu Entertainment and China Film was released.

Originally, this type of police and gangster film had little appeal to female audiences.

But this movie was produced by Feiyu Entertainment, so the treatment is naturally different.

The previous two "Wolf Warrior" films had great box office results. In addition, this movie has been promoted for two months, and many wonderful clips have been released on Douyin, which made the audience very much looking forward to it before it was released.

In the evening, Cao Yu had finished his meal and was swimming at home when his phone suddenly vibrated.

I climbed ashore and took a look, and found that it was Guan Xiaotong.

"Is something wrong?"

"Boss, are you home? I want to watch a movie at your house."

“Can’t watch it in the cinema?”

"It's so comfortable to watch in your house. I'm almost there."

Guan Xiaotong visited Cao Yu’s manor villa once last time and was deeply impressed by the cinema there.

The main thing is that my boss hasn't pursued me at all in the past few days, so I might as well take the initiative and pursue him.

Watch a movie together first to enhance your relationship, and then find an opportunity to go on a date.

"If you really come, there are some things that are more comfortable than watching a movie."

Cao Yu snorted in his heart and agreed: "Then you come."

"See you soon."

In the online car-hailing vehicle, Guan Xiaotong hung up the phone and took a look at her long legs.

With these conditions, how could the boss dislike me?
"Ten percent..."

Seeing that the boss did not refuse, she smiled in her heart and said a number.

After getting off the car, she walked into the villa estate for the second time and was taken directly to the swimming pool by bodyguards.

In the pool, Boss Cao was swimming. His strong body immediately attracted Guan Xiaotong's attention.

"I didn't expect the boss's muscles to be so strong."

However, she had no intention of playing in the water with her boss. She found a chair to sit down, and seeing a glass of juice next to her, she picked it up and took a sip.

At this time, a nanny brought another glass of juice.
“This cup.”

Guan Xiaotong glanced at the cup in her hand, then at the nanny's plate, and her face suddenly turned red.

Was that the boss' juice I just drank?
Is this considered an indirect kiss?

Although I'm sorry, I found my heart was beating fast.
After Cao Yu finished swimming a lap, he climbed out of the water and saw that his juice had been drunk. He did not expose the truth, but picked up the towel and wiped his body while asking, "Why do you want to watch a movie today?"

Guan Xiaotong made an excuse: "Operation Mekong is out now and I want to watch it, but my classmates are busy studying and I can't find anyone to accompany me."

Cao Yu smiled and said, "You mean, if you can't find someone, come to me?"

"No, no, no, I was wrong. I didn't want to disturb others' studies, so I just came here."

Guan Xiaotong knew that she had said the wrong thing and quickly waved her hand to correct it.

"Haha, next year's college entrance examination, everyone else is working hard, but you have nothing to do."

"I'm an okay student. I often take extra classes. I wouldn't say I'm a top student, but it was easy for me to get into Beijing Film Academy."

Guan Gege is very confident in her studies.

Seeing Cao Yu throw down the towel, she hurriedly said, "Boss, your back is not dry yet, let me help you."

After saying that, he picked up the bath towel and helped Cao Yu wipe the water stains on his back.

Cao Yu didn't have time to stop him, and said with a smile: "You are quite perceptive."

"I have been sensible since I was a child."

Guan Xiaotong boasted, looked at Cao Yu's muscles, and couldn't help but touch them: "Boss, you have a strong body."

After saying this, she actually remembered what "Man Shen" said to her in "The Promise": "He can have the best food in the world, the most beautiful clothes, and the favor of the strongest man."

Thinking of this, her hands couldn't help but tremble.

Because "Man Shen" also said that you can get these things, but the price is that you will never get a man's true love.

She didn’t understand it when she was a child, but when she thinks about this question now, she really wants to ask herself, am I really willing to do so?
willing!

But I still want his true heart!

Cao Yu felt a little unnatural when he felt the touch of the girl's hand.

She quickly picked up the towel and wrapped it around her waist to cover the indecent parts, and said, "Don't you want to watch a movie? You go to the theater first, and I'll change my clothes."

"Haha, thirty percent!"

Seeing the boss like this, Guan Xiaotong, who already knew everything, showed a smug smile on her face.

The movie "Operation Mekong", whether it is the editing or the visual effects, has the feeling of a Hollywood blockbuster.

Because Han Sanping is the producer, he is more relaxed in the review standards.

Moreover, Feiyu spent most of the more than 200 million yuan investment on filming and production, making the film feel better than before.

The second male lead in the film, Peng Yuyan, also made the film attract many female audiences.

In Cao Yu's private cinema, Guan Xiaotong sat leaning on the sofa, eating fruit, with her legs on the stool in front of her, confidently showing off her long legs.

But when she saw the bloody scene of drug lords slaughtering civilians, Guan Xiaotong was so scared that she grabbed Cao Yu's arm.

Looking at the long legs and smelling the girl's fragrance, Cao Yu took a deep breath.

He hesitated for a few seconds, but finally put his arm around Guan Gege's shoulders and let the timid girl lean on him.
"It feels so good. It seems that my guess was right. He still likes me."

Guan Xiaotong felt that being hugged like this was really comfortable.

"Fifty percent..."

After whispering the new percentage, she found a more comfortable position, leaned in Cao Yu's arms, and continued watching the movie.

The movie is wonderful, gripping, and exciting. Even though Cao Yu watched it for the third time, he still enjoyed it with gusto.

However, he had already grabbed the girl's hand and gently rubbed it in his palm.

When the protagonist's beloved dog Xiaotian died from a drug lord's bullet while clearing mines, Guan Xiaotong suddenly threw herself into Cao Yu's arms.

“This dog died so pitifully.”
